This update spurred me into trying AX combat again, and I remembered why I don't do it. I actually spent time getting Guardian weapons, modules etc., and tried to get as close to a AX build as I could without spending weeks engineering everything. Every time I go up against a cyclops I am obliterated so fast I can't even practice, and have to pay out the nose to get my ship back. I get that you can help by evacuating people and moving supplies but that has gotten so stale as it's just jumping system to system rinse and repeat with nothing interesting. I get that they want Thargoids to be challenging but its a little crazy how much you have to do and learn to be able to stand a chance.
Thargoids are really the most interesting thing in the game right now and if you aren't participating in combat there isn't really anything you can do with them.
