To be honest, I'm amazed they didn't approach AXI for a starter build recommendation in the first place. The build above would actually stand a chance of not instantly going boom. As it's likely to be flown by a new player with no tactics, they won't last long, but at last they'll see the elephant and hopefully enjoy it enough to try again (and then again and so on).

Most of the game's problems are due to the fact that the development team does not play ED. I don't want to offend any of them, but guys, if you want your work to work out well, you need to constantly check what you are doing. Then there won’t be years of uncorrected errors, bugs and unsuccessful ship fits that we see now. A T6 mining ship without an asteroid ring scanner, how can a newbie know where to look for treasure? I won't spend money on pre-built ships because I think I can prepare the ship better.

You just nailed it! They do not play their own game. At the beginning they used to do it, and for some reason just stopped. Doom Eternal game director used to play and stream his game play every Thursday during all the game heat time, and only now after the game gave everything, they moved on for new projects, with a still happy and committed player base. ED has much more potential than any shooter, even after a decade, but FDEV just ignore it.

New players complain about the grind to get to this point in the game but will buy this and complain they can’t stay alive or kill interceptors. Goids are supposed to be end game content. You have to work to get to this point. The only thing good on this build is the thrusters.

One minor change to your proposed starter build would be to drop the enhanced xeno scanner for a second caustic sink unit. Thoughts behind this proposal would be equipped with a nanite torpedo package the pilot will be going after a titan, the only use for a enhanced xeno scanner in the maelstrom would be to scan the vessel that's going to kill you, wheras an extra caustic sink unit should at least get the ship to the titan and possibly have enough sinks (combined) to get the ship out again. But you are so right encouragement with the chance of survival, not encouragement to be put off straight away should be the name of the game here. 07 CMDR.

A long time ago you explained to me that combat slots are the last to be destroyed. I was thinking about it and remembered (if I remember well) module protection was introduced into the game together with combat slots. Or maybe we still do not know more precisely the formulas of the game and just the protection of modules should be placed in combat slots ? Yes, we reduce the overall hull defense, but get a guaranteed 94% protection for all modules ? I'm not saying I'm right, but I like to calculate more options.
@Astyrrean3 ай бұрын
On most ships (notably the ones which had military slots “refitted” to them), MRPs place in military slots take damage last. And since those tend to be comparatively large slots (usually C4 or C5) that is highly undesirable for MRPs (you want your largest MRP to take damage FIRST.)
@SergeyMihailov3 ай бұрын
@@Astyrrean Thank you for your reply, but you didn't quite get my point. You explained the mechanics to me last time and I understood. Thank you. But I think there is some trickery on the part of the developers. Why would I place hull reinforcements in combat slots that are destroyed last, and hull reinforcements themselves have no durability? In this Leader I swapped all the hull and module boosters, I got 1134 hulls vs the old 1494, but until I have the last module destroyed I will always have 94% defense. Thanks for the reply, but I think I should test this more accurately.

Looks good. Maybe move the cargo rack to the class 4 slot and make it corrosive resistant and then make that mod reinforcement a CL5 in the top slot...since this is a pre-engineered build sold as-is, they can choose to include the special cargo rack for more utility. If someone wants to trade the CL1 mod reinforce for a research limpet they can but they are giving up resistance to module damage and this shouldn't be default IMO Thanks for helping Frontier create a proper build that doesn't get new players waxed the moment they get close to a Titan!

This is a decent tweak ... and one that gets more to the realm of personal preference (vs being outright broken like the original build.) Personally, I'll take 64 limpets into a Maelstrom. You can't repair there. And you'll be hit often (which kills limpets.) Take the limpets. :)

The real advantage of the 'build' is that it gives them basically everything they need to do...anything. Especially the G5 Engines.

I have found that ship temps in the Titan area do not need to be low to avoid getting shredded. I regularly run a shieldless FDL on Titan bombing runs, it sits at 23% when idle and waiting for the vents to open, and goes way over 40% heat during boosts to get round the vents. Hitting the core with missles is the only time i use a heatsink and that is because the ship gets well above 100% heat if I don't. I run out of ammo long before I run out of hull 👍
