Nah.
I go for brute force. Triple engineered Pacifiers. You only have to blame yourself if they can manage to cycle their shields between your attack runs.

I go for brute force. Triple engineered Pacifiers. You only have to blame yourself if they can manage to cycle their shields between your attack runs.
I've also discovered that ramming them several times knocks out their shields for a time, those bigger ships move pretty slow and I can stay in close to them.
What were you in?
So does mine for ED, I've set it on high priority in steam.
It seems that all the Thargoid combat in U15 is hard. Harder than before. I see a lot of posts about it. Since the Revenants are new, perhaps it's a sign of the times. The Thargoids are getting more and more dangerous.

Tbh it seemed to be more because I was going in and at them - if you destroy them, more come, like an old wave shooter really... it's actually fairly easy to sneak in undetected - really, as with so much in this game, it is coded to respond to one's own gameplay... if you want action, they will bring it... if you play stealthily, that's the gameplay you will get... :]
With a G5 suit / weapons, the Revenants are not particularly daunting - they have perhaps

Yup - just me playing a *first run - i've set up a channel for ]M[ now :]
(he was c/o my old experimental film/video/motiongraphic etc... 451° channel before)
*ok, first time with the Revenants themselves, when I finally got here - first mission attempt I got stopped by scouts along the way, decided to try out my newer AX-gimbles, but picked up some caustic damage in the process, so my ship burnt up before I landed

Krait Mk II, I have four engineered military grade hull reinforcements with deep plating enhancements, it's a pretty stout ship.
Thank you!
*ps: the Capital-M PR team made me say this: please like & subscribe if
Also useful for taking ships down without triggering a bounty I am told.
Personally I have rarely managed to ram someone on purpose, certainly not managed to be able to do it to the same ship several times.
Should do the trick ;]
There are no Revenants out here, though
You're not missing a whole lot, I'm sure - this is just a bit of fun for those who want a bit more "shoot-em-up" fun from this game really...
I don't know if I have any pre-upgraded in my stock, have to check. But I never used anything but the three good plasmas and an AR-50. Upgrading and engineering a laser rifle for that would give me a purpose to do some more on foot shenanigans, as I have otherwise finished everything I wanted to engineer and upgrade. Nice.I do have a G3 Aphelion in my arsenal. I've never really used it, but from what I've seen it's a very good weapon against Revenants. Perhaps I should G5 it.

You can borrow one of mine:I do have a G3 Aphelion in my arsenal. I've never really used it, but from what I've seen it's a very good weapon against Revenants. Perhaps I should G5 it.

I've focussed my efforts on my Exie's mainly, but did have some good luck at the pre-upgrade bar after that mission... so a new Ape I will complete now :]

Question... now that the sysmap has changed to "collapse" fleet carriers into one icon, how can you find if a particular one is there? I can't see carrier names from the map view - does that mean one has to travel to the system to see them on the nav panel?
Carriers now have an entry in the POI list in the left hand menu.
Aha! Brill! Thanks!
One thing I have discovered about the Krait MkII is that you need to be carful of the canopy, I've cacked mine three times ramming other ships.
