Elite Dangerous New Player Jouney - THARGOIDS!. Aug 30, 2024

Was On my way to the Brain Tree farm area, trying to accumulate some exploration experience and landed right in the middle of Thargoid controlled territory, in a hauler, with minimal defenses. I did survive and found an empty system which I completely explored. but still did not make the million exploration experience I needed. #EliteDangerous | Captured by #Outplayed

Those things really need to have proximity fuse. But you actually let off the button, and they detonate.

[@mr4kids.866]

looks like you may oif been detonating the flak cannon to soon? The shells were still to high up? I think you press to shoot then press again to detonate? Can you Try letting them get a bit closer, see if you have more luck.

Have to press and hold the trigger/button then release when you want the flak shell to explode. Your shots were detonating far too short.
