Thargoids killed.

How many of you (from forum, since Frontier forums only contain maybe 20-30% of ED Cmdrs) killed a Cyclops or Basilisk or Medusa by yourself ?

Nope...scouts yeah... goids no. It just doesn't interest me.
I'm sure there's lots who disagree. And thats ok.
Maybe one day I'll dabble. But till they introduce a sink module that's got more than 3 or 4 charges and having to synth solo etc. Nah.

Maybe because you never tried. Cyclops is easy to kill and you don't need heatsinks. Send me a friend request in-game "Lord Rak".
 
I would but my system is under constant attack from soloists and one or 2 other cmdrs who brave the open.
Us anarchists are not having a good time atm.

I'm sorry but don't blame it on Solo players, your system is under Odyssey attack. I'm in Alici system doing all kind of damage to anarchists by completing Odyssey missions. Odyssey missions like Sabotage, Raid, Digital or Covert Infiltration will cause havoc to any Faction. I can cause civil war by myself in a system overnight by completing few of these missions. I play in Open (by myself, no squardon) and I can prove to you that you cant stop me from creating a Civil War in your faction overnight. What is your faction system ?
 
I have no clue what that means...explain

your cellphone screensaver ?

I don't know what AXI discord is but that is impressive and I mean it.

Discord is an application for communication (both chat, voice, and streaming) within a community. The AXI discord is the discord server of the Anti-Xeno Initiative, which is the largest AX community in the game.

I do know what discord is :) but I don't follow AXI. I do kill Cyclops with ease flying mid ships like K MK2 or Python. Do you need a large ship to kill Medusa ? seems to me like mid ships can only handle cyclops or basilisk.
 
Cyclops and Basilisk
Didnt want to go further up the scale since... well... it like being required to get 15 SDP instead of just 3. It's the same grind but an order of magnitude grindier
heheheheeee....really ??? you will compare STDs Settlement Defiance Planes to killing a Thargoid ?
1 Medusa (killed by yourself) in mid ship = 100 SDPs and I will add 200 Opinion Polls and 500 Manufacturing Instructions and maybe 100 Power Regulators.
and I'm talking cheap

The arguably best ship for AX combat is the Alliance Chieftain. Krait mk2 is also among the best.

Here is an example of a Chieftain in action against a medusa and two basilisks:

I've seen 2 SDP in data ports since EDO launched.
How many Hydras one can kill in 3 months?

But what i actually compared was the grindiness of the action itself. H has more hearts and more hitpoints and tighter enrage timers than the lower interceptors while at the same time H is doing more damage.
However, the tactic to kill one it's exactly the same... but grindier... more shots to open the heart, more shots to exert it, you get the point. And the damage dealt by H doesnt matter if one is able to cold orbit and can aim steadily.
So the exactly same tactic that can be used to kill a Cyclops will work on a Hydra, but instead of taking several minutes, it will take an order of magnitude more... that is several tens of minutes

(dont get me wrong, i'm not trying to minimize the skill level required to solo a Hydra, what i'm saying is that i dont find the grind worthy)
