Elite Dangerous 3.1 Krait MkII Haz Res bounty hunting + build

[@MrKofeebrat]

Man, I found this while looking for an upgrade to my mulitcannon/burst build and holy crap. Even with the shotguns at g3 it's insane - great build

[@cmdrnakara2149]

My First FDL was Build After i did watch your vídeos. Great!

[@QWERTYFish25]

Tried a close build, save for being fully engineered and I see a massive difference. Thanks. Engineered parts are a MUST in this game.

[@willy_h]

Indeed ! It's definitely worth the grind. o7

[@meh.7640]

@@willy_h how many thousands of hours did you have to grind? i mean how does one even stay motivated for that shit?! it's rediculous!

[@willy_h]

@@meh.7640 Actually, it’s ok. Once you’ve unlocked the engineers you need, just play the game ; with the missions rewards, a few collector limpets and the material traders, you’ll have plenty of whatever you need. It takes some time, true, but it’s only a grind if you decide it is ;)

[@axocopan42]

That's one for the salvage crew.

target is splashed.

[@sauced-potato9159]

target is history.

[@markellsigmeir1901]

Sup, man! Was searching some kind of mechanical build for quick destroying the shields, and spotted this video. Take this one for Fre-De-Lance (weapons) and HOLLY MOLLY! These mechanical setup even not focusing power plant is destroying everything! Thanks for setup!

[@Gamer-freak93]

The krait MK2 is my favorite medium ship because of it's style and how it sounds

[@cmdrzenevo3450]

Very Well Done CMDR. Awesome build and flying.

[@willy_h]

Thanks ! ! o7

[@vehicleboi5598]

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrttt frag noise frag noise brrrrrrrrrrt boom! target destroyed

[@JohanIsraelsson]

Most impressive. I would be interested in how you'd build an FDL.

[@willy_h]

Thanks ! I use a FdL sometimes, mostly in CZ, with a very common loadout , 1x huge gimballed g5 overcharged/corrosive MC and 4x med gimballed g5 efficient/thermal vent beams. With very little synthesis, i can stay forever in cz, and it's very effective.

[@JohanIsraelsson]

That's exactly what I'm using too but I'm a terrible pilot. Thanks for replying and I look forward to trying your Krait mk2 build in a near future. :)

[@moschvids5694]

Hey man thanks for the build! Chopped them up like minced onions

[@willy_h]

You're welcome, have fun !

[@Scalpaxos]

Very nice, thank you. I whish the game had some kind of drive testing or a simulator to get an idea of the result before spending billions and loads of materials...

[@willy_h]

Thanks ! You can use this tool : beta.coriolis.io/ , very useful !

[@Scalpaxos]

Yeah I already use it all the time! What I would like is to really test the ship in combat situation like you did ;) My first fully engineered corvette was pretty bad, I lost a huge amount of materials for a very disappointing result, I have nothing against trial and error but God the grind is so bad that you don't want to miss...

[@willy_h]

Actually, on coriolis you can check pretty much everything ; speed, manoeuvrability, armor and shield, how much kinetic and thermal damage you do, raw damage and dps, and so on... When you're used to it, you can know if a build is viable before testing it. But hey, you learn from your mistakes, right ? ^^

[@vitskr1]

I tried this loadout and it is super fun!

[@willy_h]

It is ! Have fun o7

[@atlantikjcx7449]

I did not know that a krait can melt a conda like that

[@-max-9168]

If you don't mind me asking, what's your shield strength looking like? I've already got a fully engineered cutter and corvette, and even though they're great ships, they sort of suck the fun out of the game, just sitting in cz's and blowing up everything. I wanted to engineer a faster, smaller ship, and came across this build. I really like it! But before I start the mat grind, I was just curious about the shield/integrity strength.

[@willy_h]

Hi ! This build gives 791mj shield strength and 565 integrity ( s.orbis.zone/de1y ). For a combat only ship, maybe you should try the fer de lance instead, which can give a lot more shield and speed/maneouvrability.

[@ZoltarWOT]

looks fun and very effective CMDR

[@willy_h]

It is ! o7

[@Lightning9060]

Im running mine with the powerplay missiles and while the ttk itsnt as quick as your build, holy hell is it fun 😂

[@afrotown8590]

Few questions for you. Do you use mouse and keyboard or do you use a HOTAS setup? Also, do you have keybinds set in order to immediately slow down to combat speed?

[@willy_h]

Hi ! I play with keyboard+joystick (and mouse for menus and free look when I recorded this. Now I use trackIR for immersion). All the rotation, target and fire controls are on the stick. I use the wasd keys for vertical and lateral thrusters, the 1234 keys for -50%, 25%, 50% (blue zone), and 100% speed, space for boost and X for complete stop. I manage the pips with shift+wasd : shift+a for shields, shift+w for engines, shift+d for weapons, and shift+s for reset. I've set flight assist off on the alt key (maintain, not toggle). o7

[@urded1145]

Have you tried it with pacifiers and class 2 fixed multis?

[@venomaxus]

Damn, I have no idea you could make such "dance" with Krait MK2. I just bought MK2 and so far I feel it a bit sluggish (less sluggish than Python tho). I guess I need to learn a lot more.

[@willy_h]

Try upgrading your thrusters with g5 dirty drives, you'll feel a huge difference. And learn about the flight assist, when to use and cut it ! Those 2 ships can be indeed quite nimble. o7

[@mr.godzilla8331]

try to learn how to toggle FA on and off during dogfights, it really helps you a lot to defend yourself from your target and to alwayas have good a good sight of him

[@TheAngrySaxon1]

Very nice, just shreds those NPCs in no time!

[@willy_h]

Thanks mate !

[@FelixTsang]

Nice, very high DPS I got one build with full laser beams and the DPS is terrible even with fully engineered ship Now I'm just missing the g5 dirty drive. I'm go jealous of people getting 550 max speed while I get 450

[@willy_h]

Yeah, I always mod my thrusters first ;) The good thing with full lasers builds is that you don't need ammo refills. But with synthesis I really prefer this setup and go farm from time to time.

[@kidnotorious5224]

Are you selecting what modules on the enemy ship you want to fire at? If so how are you doing that

[@willy_h]

You can target modules by browsing in the left panel when an ennemy is selected. You can also bind keys to target next/previous module without entering any panel, that's what I do. In most situations just target the power plant, ships can explode when it's destroyed.

[@Grantallica]

So do the incendiary rounds act as Thermal attack against sheilds? If that's the case I'm tempted to swap out my beam laser on my Vulture for one of those frags so I can have extra shield boosters

[@willy_h]

Incendiary rounds convert a big part of your kinetic weapon damage into thermal damage, so yes, it is very effective against shields. I love those on frags, they have very high burst damage even on medium hardpoint. You could try it with C3 multis on a vulture for more range, or frags for a bigger burst. Lots of options :)

[@Grantallica]

Willy_H cheers for the reply man. I currently run a pretty bland Multi (overcharged) with beam laser (efficient) but I may even try for a dual frag cannon build, as I have G5 dirty drives so I can out maneuver mostly everything

[@e.dh.8405]

Ok i have the ship and the fitting and now begin the long part by the engineers.........

[@Ashleycb97]

I took the leap as well about the same time as you, been a long road but I've got most of the upgrades now. XD

[@Hodoodle]

it is an amazing game.

[@procopy]

@@Hodoodle you must be new, mate

[@Hodoodle]

@@procopy what do you mean by that?

[@procopy]

@@Hodoodle Want to explain it literally? Okay. Players who bought the game as backers got annoyed to fuck in the first month. Players who joined later, when some shit was already fixed and added, like me, and really wanted to give it a go, spent 1-2 thousand hours before getting annoyed to fuck. Then it all went downhill and the game was stale for two to three years. A state no fucking update could fix, let alone faulty ones. That drove even the majority of hardline players off. So you are either a special case of fruitcake nolifer. or a new player, who got it for free in the last months. Either way, good fucking luck.

[@Hodoodle]

@@procopy to be fair I am doing very good in the game.

[@TheLampMan-JaE]

You make great use or the frag cannons Oh, and, how did you . get your fighter to switch to the "Attack target" mode so quick?

[@willy_h]

Thanks! You can bind keys to give orders to your fighter. o7

[@TheLampMan-JaE]

@@willy_h Thx for the tip, really helped in close combat oh, and fun fact, i have the same ship and weapon configuration as you do, but . swap out one multi cannon for a seeker missile rack

It really helps taking annoying small ships from a distance

[@fwarleader]

Badass simple as that.

[@liranm24]

I did almost the same thing, still not g5 g3 on the frag canons with the expr g4 on the MCs with the expr g3 dirty drive g1 on shield boosters and my dps is not near as you

[@willy_h]

Well, as you can see here : inara.cz/galaxy-blueprint/48/ there's a big difference between g3 and g5 double shot. Try to max all your weapons to g5, you'll notice a good dps increase. GL commander ! o7

Realy nice ship think i take me a Kraith too (and your fitting !)

[@willy_h]

Have fun ! o7

[@sc0or]

Don't forget to visit engineers few times (and open them of course). And to collect all materials they need. Then your Kraint can make the same things )) Ship itself is a really good all-missions vessel. Less cargo than Python carry but a fighter instead. And it's also quite good in mining cores. PS Take a look at his power distributor. An ultimate thing. A stock one is three times worse.

[@TheDankh]

Is this still effective in 3.3? I understand module sniping has been nerfed?

[@willy_h]

There's still a chance for a ship to explode when you destroy his power plant. And even if it doesn't, with this build the hull melts very quickly. So yes, this is still effective ! o7

[@exoticpal1027]

What system are you doing this in?

[@willy_h]

HR 4734 (look at the bottom left of the screen) is where this was shot. But any place where there is an hazardous ressource extraction site will do.

[@Silioth]

I always heard that full multicannon setups are rubbish. i guess not. ^^

[@willy_h]

Well, you still need those incendiary frags to take the shields down ;)

[@JohanIsraelsson]

I really dig Willy_H's build but today tried with incendiary multi-cannons in the medium slots, and that worked just fine as well. So, imho, all multi-cannons is just fine on this ship.

[@willy_h]

It sure is, as long as you mix thermal and kinetic damage !

[@Poopy-pk8rs]

How much does this ship cost with build. I have 170 million

[@willy_h]

This build costs around 170 million credits, and hours of farm for the engineering components. But you should ALWAYS keep enough credits for the rebuy price in case of trouble. In this case, maybe ~10m more. My advice : get a cheap mining ship first, and grind credits a little more. Good luck !

[@Poopy-pk8rs]

@@willy_h thanks for quick reply. o7 commander

[@DXDgamingsubnow]

umm is it still good without engineering ?

[@willy_h]

Nope. I mean, it can be good fun anyways, but without the mods your dps, sustain, speed, maneouvrability, resistance ; everything will be VERY far from what you see in this video. Go unlock the engineers if you have the time, it's definitely worth the grind. Good luck ! o7

[@daddych0pchop800]

How hot does it get with this build when you pop a scb? I assume really hot as you don’t have any lasers or heat sinks to cool it down.

[@willy_h]

Watch at 9:25 . It gets hot indeed but your modules can handle it occasionally. I never use scb during a fight, unless it’s an emergency and i need to flee.
