Orthrus hunting

[wargarita]

If anyone interest in hunting Orthus in the alert system and don't have a build yet, this is the Anaconda built to hunt Orthus with 100% kill rate.

• 4 EMC (large)
• 2 Sirius AX Missile Rack (medium)
• 2 Advance Missile Rack (small) - normal amo

The bond pop up is 25mil but if you check the left panel it's actually 40mil. If you just want to kill the Orthrus and jump out you can also replace the EMC with all AX missiles, I use EMC to clean up the scouts. After the kill jump out of the system and jump back in you should find the NHSS 4 again.

Good luck hunting, o7!

Also consider stabbing the shield! That is best done just after the shutdown field, so that the Frame Shift Anomaly has disappeared fully. Here is a video of a simple Imperial Cutter made back during week 5 before we had the Stabilisers or the Caustic sinks, accidentally demonstrating the Anomaly pushing back, but ultimately doing it a bit faster. It had only Thrusters engineering, and had basic EAX missiles rather than the higher-rate Sirius missiles.
