The indicators are not easy to pick up on, and I can only call them out because I've spent the past 1000 hours of gameplay enjoying AX. Nobody has the feel for the fight at the beginning. Take the fight interceptor class by interceptor class. Each one will help you hone a different skill. Orbiting like in this video is really hammered home when you are practicing for a hydra fight.

@@cmdrorlandu143 Great thanks for your reply CMDR. I will watch a few more times to try to pick up on the clues that cause you to react by thrusting this way or that.

G5 engineered dirty drives and charge enhanced power distro. This video is a failed attempt at a challenge kill called "snake eater" in the Anti Xeno Initiative. I would visit there and ask more. Beware, this is the most difficult kill I have completed. It is not fun.

The thargons know where the thargon is because the thargons have used the deviation to calculate the position where it wasn't and thus determining where it isn't and therefore is or could be.

Literally the basics since it is unengineered. A rate everything but life support and sensors. Enhanced performance drives are a must. The kill is much easier engineered lol.

@@cmdrorlandu143 I'm gonna try this at the CG this weekend 😁

It is a size 1. Thermal vent does stack but for this application size 1 is more than enough to cool the ship. Gimbaled does a better job (more cooling). If you're going where I think you might be going with this I'll try and save you some engineering, it is not good enough to replace heatsinks. I built a weapons focused, cold running, krait build with 2 c3 LR turreted beams, and I could not keep up with the heat of 2 gauss for sustained fire rate (you have to wait for cooling too long between shots). Heatsinks really are the way to go. This just cools you down to setup for attack runs. Check out the website www.antixenoinitiative.com

@@cmdrorlandu143 The new advanced missile racks; if I synth the AX ammo, then request a reload from a station does it go back to normal ammo, or reloads the AX ammo. If not the latter, then they are not worth the grind for restock mats.

@@williammenier9741 If you die or if you restock at all you will lose the synth.

@@cmdrorlandu143 what about thermal slug? the plasma exp effect should reload from the fuel tank which is refilled by a star, if i synth premium ammo then will i have that until i restock?

I do use a mouse and keyboard. If you are seeking out good info though, check out the anti xeno initiative discord. Currently that's where the knowledge base for this combat can be found. Huge number of great folks to give you the low down on the basics and advanced stuff.

@@cmdrorlandu143 so I tried there and probably I was unlucky but I still have troubles in figuring out how to set up my settings, my ship in fa off keep on "dancing" any chance you would sent me a print screen of your settings? My commander name and on discord is CPT Favia

@@cmdrorlandu143 by the way great flying :)

Enhanced performance drives aren't engineered.

There I use a C2, in practice I use a C1 now, and no longer have it running while I orbit. It's just another draw on the distributor, and the heatsinks can deal well enough with the heat. The thermal vent beam is fantastic to cool on your approach though, and is nice to pick at the shields with.
