ShinDez Attack: AX Zero to Hero?
- Thread starter Ant hill
- Start date
go out of the station, kill the Scouts right there in front of the entrance - they're easy - slowly feel the vibe of it all, and often run into the station to repair
EDIT
of course, first go to V886 Centauri, Rescue Ship Cornwallis to join the CG, and only after that go to Jameson's.

Here's a Python mk II I threw together for my alt. (Ultimately it'll be a titan bomber hence the pulse neutraliser)
I've tackled scouts in the past and been round all the Titans but never faced an Interceptor. I read loads of guides and if I'm honest it all just seemed too complicated. Switch on this, avoid that, heatsink, pips and so on. I just thought I'd be useless and so it slipped down the long list of Elite stuff to do.
However in response to events I ended up with a build from CMDR Mechan (Good video here) of a Krait - spent yesterday building and engineering it, (EDSY build) then last night I hit ShinnyDez. I found a wing (a first for me!). Honestly massive fun. I died a fair few times but was on the donating end of 11 Interceptor kills, including 4 Basilisks and a Hydra (took AGES). It's almost like cheating to keep repairing at the station, but it means I was able to keep chipping away at them.
It's not even that complex to do it (albeit badly) .... take their shields down with laser (at a distance) or shards if brave, run away for a bit while it tantrums (I think), go back smash the living daylights out them until a heart glows, shoot the heart until it breaks, then smash it for a bit to see if you can kill it (after a few hearts). Eventually IT GOES BANG! Cyclops easiest, the others take longer and hit harder. Of course I bought rebuy at every stage of that because I'm not very good but it was really great fun and I can't wait to go back.

If you’re running two flak launchers alongside 3 AX multicannons, you don’t actually need this. The flak launchers do not contribute to the experimental weapon limit, if memory serves (because I used to have one on a Krait with 4 gauss cannons).
Not that I’d know what else you could stick in it besides another hull or module reinforcement, but just putting that out there.
