There was a similar shard with 8500m range. It was great, unfortunately was on a ship I accidentally sold - annoyed about the engineered ship and then even more annoyed when I realised that weapon was also gone. Envious of those who still have it!
Took a glance at your build and noticed that you have an MRP in a military slot. This is* not generally a good idea, due to a bug which depletes MRPs in mil slots after all others (not normally what you'd want). In your case you could just swap it with a HRP.
I’m going to take an opportunity to provide a couple of hints for new players about this type of missions:
Hmm, I will have to take a look at that. Thanks for the hint.
On that note, I ran a quick impromptu experiment yesterday and keeping your ship cold (like by dropping a heatsink) appears to stop the Interceptor spawn from occurring (it is definitely scripted as they will immediately show as if having had a basic scan completed, if a xeno scanner is equipped). Instead, some Scouts will spawn, appearing to be three Marauders and one variant (beware if it is a Berserker).
I'm still convinced the p2 also has some sort of in inherent stealth toward thargoids.
Is it me or does it seem the banshee's can lob their power flak further afield than they did originally?
If you mean the disruption ‘missiles’, those could always go a fair distance. A couple kilometers at least, I’d say, just going by how far they’d chase me from a spire site.
Mechan has already promised a free Anaconda to the first 100 pilots who come to defend Hutton.
I’m sure some people are, but you can indirectly defend the stores by choosing the closer by outpost than doing like what is it, nearly a quarter of a light year while getting interdicted by Thargoids frequently.
Those were fun, I did all 4. Put a Python 2 together for these but AX Reacs got stopped the day the Python 2 came out, so I never got to try it till now.
Thanks to a very nice vet pilot buddy ( aka Perilous ) providing help & cover from above , i was finally able to embark upon my very 1st 'AX ground settlement reboot' mission last nite and i must say it was an absolute BLAST ! ( literally
) -- Super intense and great mission rewards too! ( i chose the suit/weapon schems , which hopefully was the best choice for 7 month newb like me who still hasn't even upgraded any of my suits/weapons past Grade 3 yet lol? )Since this was my very 1st time running this particular type of 'AX settlement' mission , i accidentally brought my AX Imp Clipper ship ( which i happened to already be flying doing various space-station defenses within nearby Invasion systems ) and totally forgot how it needs LARGE landing pad/area .... So let's just say i felt like 'Bishop' from classic ALIENS movie not only trying to find a solid spot to land quickly before rushing into 'CMD' building at the start, but also then recalling ship to take off afterwards was truly epic with all the green caustic bombs dropping & everything!
okay so assuming this 8th Titan is indeed the "final" invasion battle of Thargoids , do we know for sure these types of ground missions will be removed forever?
Unless we get more Thargoid Controlled systems, yes. All AX Reactivations are in Thargoid Controlled systems so no such systems = no missions to them.okay so assuming this 8th Titan is indeed the "final" invasion battle of Thargoids , do we know for sure these types of ground missions will be removed forever?
i guess time will tell in a couple weeks of course , but gosh it seems very sad to remove such furious & fun "endgame" content.
Forever is certainly unlikely but considering how rabid (don't take this up in a bad way) people are going over the invasions despite the weekend being over, the system which contains them/the settlements necessary to spawn the missions will likely just be gone after this week. Even if it doesn't it likely would be soon after because it holds the precious surface port experience which is so easy it's almost cheesy due to a complete lack of the Thargon swarms.
I'm also not-so-secretly hoping this is only round one and there's something bigger on the way; preferably a permanent and dynamic Thargoid presence that doesn't need Frontier to guide it manually.
Kill the Banshees from the air before landing. They don't respawn. Revenants do but they are easy to avoid or kill.
The Executioner is a huge improvement over the L6. This is both in terms of magazine size and the L6 explosive ammunition which was most likely to end these missions if tried to snapfire and clipped whatever you were hiding behind.
For what it’s worth, I don’t believe the Thargoids and associated gameplay are gonna go anywhere, I’d just like the Titan event to carry more of a kick. Sure there’s been lots of players getting involved but this doesn’t feel very last-standish and more of just the usual contest of which human can stomp it harder.
That’s exactly what I have been doing, albeit getting annoyed by the Interceptor spawns that magically know immediately where your ship is from a dozen kilometers away while it runs a low emissions plant, until I figured out you can potentially avoid it masking heat signature through the various ways.
