What is the point of the Type 10?

I've got (2) fully A rated/G5 Engineered T-10s at the moment. One for human combat and one for Thargoid combat. But I haven't been using either lately due to the current landing bugs and confusion over which Thargoid race is a true enemy in this fight.

When all is said and done, I agree that it seems to be best suited as a high capacity mining platform. Not sure if I will keep both around indefinitely. For now, I am content to hold onto them and see if Frontier makes any tweaks/improvements to the ship to give it more capabilities over all.

The currently poor weapons convergence is a real head scratcher. I see no logic in the spread being so wide as to lack any firepower focus into a central point of the target. It is currently far less effective against Thargoid ships than something like an Anaconda.

Worse case scenario... I sell them and get all my money back.

The new Chieftain might prove to be a better anti-Thargoid battle wagon than the T-10, but we shall see.

I like it just because the cockpit is awesome in VR. Other than that there isn't any reason to use it over the "big 3".

The Type-10 makes an excellent exploration ship.

Mine has a 33Ly range with:
8A AFMU
7A scoop
6A Shields
Fuel & repair controllers
2 SRVs
32 tonnes of cargo
Both scanners and so on.

She handles better than the Anni in supercruse and on par in N-space. Is basically impossible to overheat and, the veiw from her bridge is properly epic.

I'm in Colonia so I've not tried it yet, but that seems like a workable ship ;)

I explore in a Corvette, part of that it because it's supercruise handling is better than a Conda, and because it's such a heavy ship already carrying armour & weapons doesn't compromise it's (already pretty bad) jump range much. Looks like the T-10 could be a viable alternative for me :)

One of my multi purpose T-10's is fully armed with pretty much every toy you can think off, Manifest Scanner etc.. Still refuses to overheat, I do wonder if it was intentional, perfect for salvage in burning stations. SC I find it is definitely the heaviest feeling ship in the game, got used to now, treat it like the T9 and fly wide approaches to targets.

Was not expecting to like the ship, it is a beast, easily taking down NPC corvettes whilst shieldess, pretty sure I can get it to 40LY if needed, been having a lot of fun over the past few weeks, enough to finally convert the rest of my Anacondas into storage ships. Just a much better experience and view from the office, only other big ship I now fly is the Cutter.

Granted I took a bit of a break from the game but perhaps there is something that I'm not understanding here. What exactly is the point of the Type 10? I was under the impression that it was designed to defend against or fight the Thargoids, right? If that is the case I guess what I don't understand is why can it only carry the same amount of AX weapons that any other ship can carry, and really doesn't have anything going for it that I can see yet, even engineered... I would think if you keep the principle of thrust to weight ratio in mind that it would turn a bit better with all of those massive engines... lol...

What am I missing here? Is this ship actually suppose to be a hunter of thargoids or what is it's purpose?

It's a bit like a new ship, but not.

I guess what I'm having an issue wrapping my head around here is, okay the ship was built with thargoids in mind. Yet, it cannot hold any more AX equipment than any other ship. Half the ship is engine from the looks of the ship from outside of it and yet it turns like it's stuck in a tar pit even engineered G5. Now I wouldn't expect it to turn quickly by any means keeping it's size in mind, however with those engines I would expect a little more out of it... lol... None of it really makes sense to me I guess...

Actually, it does hold the most.

You can equip 4 large AX and three medium remote flak. The Anaconda comes close but it’s lacking a third medium slot. Add the that the size 8 shields and bigger optionals, you can tank it out really well too.

I think you are imagining that. The T-10 has a considerably SLOWER turning speed than the Conda in SC. This is my biggest beef with it actually. While it handles better than the Anaconda in normal space with the right thrusters and dirty drive upgrades.

Its SC handling is currently identical to the Type-9 (Glacial) which is why am still holding out hope for this being a bug that will be fixed/improved. Its normal space handling doesn't equate with its SC handling which is not normal when you compare these two things with any other ship.

The T-10 is indeed a dedicated Thargoid killer, more or less on par at least with an AX Conda. It has the thickest hull in the game (1200 stock), combined with the highest hull hardness so far (75). It can carry 4 large AX weapons plus 3 flak and all the other shenanigans that come handy for AX fighting, has a great canopy, runs utra-cool (i have to use silent running to get it to 200% heat) and can fit a size 7 SLF bay (ok, Conda can too, but sorry for the shields then). Unlike the T-9, it doesn't exactly fly like a brick, in particular with DD5. Whether you prefer the Conda or the T-10 for Thargoid hunting mostly depends on personal preferences, I got both and usually take the T-10. YMMV.
