Thank you. o7

I think they are extremely rare

From my experience the guardian gauss cannons were better for Thargoid heart sniping.

try charged plasma weapons on a conda for spires... in my personal experience gaus is meh, modded shards are pretty decent also.

There are still a few days until the update lands, the maw farming is going to be a good money maker and if you get a few people in there the credits you can make will be amazing.

@@StewiePlaysPC Sadly I'm not returning home until the 29th, so I will miss it, as I could never play the game on my laptop unfortunately.

There are multiple ways to make a lot of money.

@@cmdrandreyuenari4150 Thanks andre really helpful comment.

The state of systems will alter as the war unfolds , Thursday's reboot will reveal the changes for the week.

why reset and not keep going with that one? just curious

@@ShinigamiAnger I have 3 and one of them I always reset every 12 months or so just to get the noob experience again of having nothing, although it's really worth it these days with the easy money around in exo-bio.

It depends on what method you want to use and what type you are looking to kill . If it is just the Orthrus with out having to rely on premium ammo , I would keep with the Anaconda for its brute force and ability to do this activity in comfort.

@@StewiePlaysPC In fact, i am asking if you are a bit "poor" in game. I saw the anaconda is 146 millions. So if you have less money, is it possible to make maybe less money but with more affordable ships?

@@Bombastic0013 It boils down to damage out put in a small window of time to kill the Orthrus, once the Thargoid jumps in you have about 74 seconds before it jumps out. Ax Missiles while inflicting 1% on shields and 2% damage on hull per missile , they have a fire rate of 2 seconds and a reload time of 5 seconds to factor in. Here is an example of a Chieftain i was asked about a few days back. Each missile RoF 2 seconds reload of 5 seconds ammo clip 12 and 8 CHIEFTEN 3 launchers first 8 shots = shields on 76% time on 16 seconds ammo clip 4 and 0 2 shots and reloading = shields on 74% time on 21 seconds ammo clips 0 and 8 2 shots and reloading = shields on 72% time on 26 seconds ammo clips 12 and 6 6 shots = shields on 54% time on 38 seconds ammo clips 6 and 0 2 shots and reloading = shields on 52% time on 43 seconds ammo clips 4 and 8 4 shots = shields on 40% time on 51 seconds ammo clips 0 and 4 2 shots and reloading = shields on 38% time on 56 seconds ammo clips 12 and 2 2 shots = shields on 36% time on 60 seconds ammo clips 10 and 0 2 shots and reloading = shields on 12% time on 65 seconds with the 1% shield loss per 3 seconds ammo clips 8 and 8 3 shots = shields on 0% time 71 seconds Thargoid jumps out in 3 seconds. If you need quick credits to cover the start up cost I would follow the list in here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7V3gdWqsNSzgHk.html it will take you directly to the planets you need for 19 million from each world. I hope this helps cover why the Anaconda is the best ship for this activity. o7

@@StewiePlaysPC thank you for these precise explanations, which may be of interest to others too. I was asking because I've seen players take on targoids with inferior ships like the Chieftain.

The shards need Ram Tah's upgrade to protect them from rotting.

For farming the fleet I may opt for replacing the two shield boosters for two more caustic sinks just to add more caustic head room.

@@StewiePlaysPC and I imagine I'd have to make the shard cannons resistant to anti guardian field?

@@naidr0x yes the build was brought about by the implementation of the new upgrade. a quick guide on collecting the materials is almost finished.

The cold shard runs at 23 with weps deployed, and when in combat will peek to about 35 for less than a second before dropping back into the teens. Where the monstered shard runs at 33, and in fight will hold around 46-53 . The monstered while is not optimum, is mainly to safe guard a players options if they want to run more power intensive parts.

Its fine to save them up then boost the power play later. some of the bonds i collected for the video were done before I joined ALD's power. it calculates current banked bonds at the time of hand in, just be 100% sure you are handing to a station that is under ALD's control.

@@StewiePlaysPC thanks man! Also great video, keep it up :)

@@maurycy522 will be re up loading this video very soon , i used footage of and said caustic shard where it should of been caustic crystal.

A. Lavigny-Duval is the one to focus on to gain access to the +100% bonus . Where as Aisling Duval's rewards affects the influence reward amount from missions. Z.Hudson is the only other super power that grants the 100% on bounties if it boils down to a Fed v Imp choice . Other powers are then more trade reward focused. How this will be after PowerPlay 2.0 lands will be interesting to see.

@@StewiePlaysPC awesome, thank you for the information, I'm going to pledge to A. Lavigny-Duval for sure, that +100% bonus is awesome incentive to do so.

Ram Tah's upgrades are needed to protect them

@@StewiePlaysPC Gotcha, I dont have that fella. Thanks for the info

Sadly no , the Thargoid will jump out 3 seconds after you manage to remove its shields , you only have 74 seconds to kill it.

@@StewiePlaysPC ah cool thanks for the fast reply my just change up my conda lifeboat to give it a go lol o7

With shards yes 37 seconds of combined reload and active firing , just need to stay on target so in the 47 second mark. Each shard hits the shield for 1.5% and the hull for 1.333333333 , with all 5 shots fired in 2 seconds with a reload time of 5 seconds. Thargoid jumps out is 74 secconds.

The Titan i used was purely for example of finding a system that has an alert system close by. Hadad is the next one in the war attack list.

The worry would be the loss of the 1 launcher dropping the damage out put and reloading every 8 shots . it could be a very close battle , Looking over footage of an early run testing the time for one to escape, it jumped out after 74 seconds. looking at the footage of rate of fire its one shot per 2 seconds, with 8 shots being 16 seconds along with a reload of 5 seconds. Conda's damage to shields was 6% per full hit and hull was 12% per full hit making each weapon 1% and 2% The FDL should be hitting 5% on shields and 10% on hull with full hits. should be 30 hits in total , this should be 30 shots x 2 for the RoF, = 60 seconds + the 5 second reloading after the 8th shot. 3 reloads = 15 seconds will bring us to 75 seconds . maaaaaaybe a ram to add damage I'm not sure , but any miss hits will cost you the run in an FDL ship is my thoughts. The good thing ax missiles are pure credits for buying, i would not fit out the FDL with Sirius ones as they need engineering materials for each one. so if you are willing to take the timer to the wire its worth a shot for 40mill a kill *80 with powerplay* and then after a few successful runs buy the Anaconda and rake in the credits. The mapped Xenobiology guide kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7V3gdWqsNSzgHk.html may be a safer path to get the starting credits with each planet =19mill . I hope this is help full and good luck o7

While its not the 560 mill run it once was, it can still bring in 210 mill in 30-35 mins . I did look at running 3 spare accounts as copilots in horizon mode , as I had them sitting about from when Epic Games gave the base game away for free one Christmas time. The Extra pips were nice , but due to the sliding % when it comes to payments based on combat rank it became a pain to set up. To make it worth doing to funnel credits to the main account , you would need all three copilots ranked up to Dangerous so they would get a 70% payout of the original combat bond. This did make each kill worth 61.5mill, but thought of spending time juggling cargo on a fleet carrier to compile the credits did not look fun to me. Add on top to promote this in a video to those who missed the free giveaway may of come across a promoting a pay to win path. I spent today testing out my old video with trade missions to see how it held up over time and updates. I'm glad to say it is still viable as I made almost 1.2 billion with boom/exp cargo missions for things like tritium , silver, indite ect. Just need to become an ally rep with the factions for the top 35-50m missions, I find scanning 5 earth like worlds and selling the 5mill data to the station jumps me to instant ally making the set up a lot faster.

Hi Jack, the caustic sink launchers can be bought at the Rescue Mega Ship Hunter in the Telin system. The engineering upgrade to add 2 extra charges comes from the engineer Ram Tah located at Phoenix Base in the Meene system. o7

​@@StewiePlaysPC heres Jack again, whut a nice guy that Ram Tar feller is. He sayz to me "I dont advertise the modification on the inaras, but sumtimes when people asks nice I still do the mod" He had me pay extra though. The first one cost me double.
