Orthrus Question

[Pauly66]

Anybody experience an Orthrus encounter that wipes out all your Guardian modules very fast?
Much faster than when you are in a Maelstrom system first time this has happened other encounters that didn't happen.

Yes, Orthrus has no hearts, but internal modules like our ships, and one of them is "Overload Wave" which is responsible for this damage.
Only GHRP is not damaged, everything else from guardian tech is disabled. However, you can kill him with AX missiles, and you can use human
module and hull reinforcements to avoid any damage.

That's what must have hit me I thought it was just the normal shutdown wave, thanks for the help and reply mate

Has anybody experimented with super penetrator rails to snipe their overload module?

They don't have modules and were likely never meant to.

But how should I call Orthrus subtargets? This is old screenshot, from the beginning of thargoid war, was it changed in the meantime? I made some research of Orthrus at this time and later I gave up 'cause it was grind, it was boring.

Ok, now I checked again, had a good luck to immediately find Orthrus in Yan Zangata, and after scanning, no subtargets appeared, so Ned Flandalorian is right, no modules, must be Fdev changed it with U14 or even earlier. This is also the answer to Staarlord - it's not possible to shoot individual module.
