【Elite: Dangerous】Thargoid Hydra Solo kill (4), 16min full video, Imperial cutter

This is the fourth Hydra solo kill
(Including outside recordings is the 18th time)
I was able to defeat it in 16 minutes at the end of the struggle
There are still a few things that can be shortened,
I can aim for 15 minutes later, but ...
I could n’t meet a single Hydra,
I'm tired of the relogging of Distress call, so this time around
... I killed medusa in the same way as this video,
Defeated in 9 minutes 22 seconds :D

四度目のHydra solo killです
（録画外のを含めると実質18回目です）
苦戦の末にようやく16分で倒すことが出来ました
まだまだ短く出来るところはあるし、
後もう少しで15分を狙えますが...
中々、単体のHydraに会うことが出来ないし、
Distress callのリログにも疲れたので、今回はこの辺で
...因みにこの動画と同じ方法でmedusaをkillしてみましたが、
9分22秒で倒せました :D

I like how humans and thargoids always go face to face first before beginning combat. Somewhat respectful, I guess? Even though its probably just for the scan, but I like to think otherwise.

[@neklasoctan8681]

Great trick when you reduce the HEAT level to 2% then reboot the ship. Heat level is low so I think that is why Thargoid cant track and attack your ship.

[@Tooterbooter]

Oh my god… it’s the timing of it. They deployed a heatsink and rebooted right after a heart was destroyed. The Thargoid is in a state where it’s trying to lock on with a missile; not with main cannons, so it is locked here while their ship is cold! With main cannons, the Thargoid can still shoot in your direction while gold, but the shots cannot track you, but they aren’t being shot at because the Thargoid prepared a missile 🤯 I might be wrong about what the Thargoid is doing, but it has to do with the timing

@@Fardragon well, they can still eyeball you but are waaaay less precise then, so it is a good measure to orbit around in not straight lines (which is a common technique used by smaller and nimble ships that fly AX low-heat and shieldless, heat vent beams are also used a lot in such configuration).

Thank you! It is possible to hunt a goid in both FAon and FAoff. If you figure out how to move the goid, learn the characteristics of your ship's thrusters, and practice a lot, you'll get better at it. All you need is patience!😉

[@short_yeti2058]

Amazing work. How do you know when is a good time to reboot and repair?

[@lMagicKaito]

Maybe after a certain heart kill but im not sure or maybe the thargoid doesnt see you when you have your ship off power for the time hes rebooting, from what ive seen they dont usually stay like that too long, those are just my newbie theories and im probably wrong xD

[@lunamaria1048]

@@lMagicKaito Thargoids disable all of our ship systems, then scan us, so they can see us with power off lol

[@OGmujrim]

If you look again, they use a heatsink before rebooting do a cold reboot. Thargoids use heat signature to track targets. When you do a cold reboot, it's like you become invisible while the ship is rebooting.

Pure fiction.

[@mneech609]

@@methamphetamememcmeth3422 No shit

[@floseatyard8063]

If it was pure science the ranges would be hundreds of thousands or millions of kilometres, visual range battles would only happen if each ship kept cancelling eachothers long range attacks somehow and then went closer to tear eachother with swarms of point defence fire. But if you have something like a munroe warhead nuke on you it would be very hard for the enemy to get that close without being deleted by some sweet e=mc2

[@YakumoLaplace]

Excellent work! Is there a reason for A shield instead of Prismatic?

[@daemoniaque6640]

Im' guessing either recharge speed (Prismatics will recharge very slowly) or unwillingness to wait for 4 weeks in powerplay to get them. Or maybe just power requirement, Gauss do take up quite a bit of power.

[@MuQuuu]

As has already been said, I don't own any weapons, etc. that you can get from power plays because I don't understand the things about power plays very well. Well, I think it's useful to have them, but they are not essential.😉

[@Eric4bz]

@@MuQuuu power play seems to be relatively simple. Deliver cargo from point A to point B, or destroy enemy power play ships in conflict zones for bounties you can hand in. Both increase your rank. After 4 weeks and enough rank grinding, boom, item unlocked. Thing is, cargo running has a limit on how much you can pick up for delivery.

[@MuQuuu]

@@Eric4bz Hmm. Sounds surprisingly easy. I'll try it soon :)

[@djgamer457]

Why the ram after the reboot? Also why does the Hydra not act after a Heart is destroyed?

[@MuQuuu]

This timing is the easiest to ram. Basically, the interceptor moves so that it doesn't bump into us. But when it swarms, it moves in a monotonous manner. However, when it swarms, it moves with a slight angle. Also, if the Interceptor is chasing you when you swarm, it will try to get away from you while swarming. On the other hand, if the Interceptor is running away from us, it will come after us with a swarm. In both cases, the interceptor will move at a slight angle when you try to hit it with the ram. It is very difficult to hit the ram in both cases. However, after destroying the heart, if you and the interceptor stay where you are and don't move until the next phase starts, ramming the interceptor will be very easy. Also, if you keep the hull temperature below 20 degrees Celsius after the heart is destroyed, the interceptor will not move until the next phase. You can do the same with all interceptors. That's how it works. I'm not sure why XD However, this tactic is effective from the second phase onwards, and cannot be used in the first phase.

[@AstroKing9619]

How did you manage to repair right in front of it like that? Did you stun the goid or something?

[@MuQuuu]

After destroying goid's heart, if you keep cooling your ship at a distance of more than 800m, goid will somehow not recognize you until the next phase. During this time, I am rebooting my ship. This is the so-called cold reboot technique. Please note that this technique cannot be used after the first heart destruction. The state where the goid keeps emitting yellow light. Also, if the heat is raised to 20 ° C or higher, or if you approach it carelessly, Goid will notice this and attack with corrosive missiles. A heat sink or thermal vent beam is required. :)

[@mrdzin1209]

@@MuQuuu but then, why did you headbutt it after every reboot? You loss like 2/3 of your shield while doing minimal damaged to it? I'm new and dumb so please be gentle CMDR O7

[@MuQuuu]

@@mrdzin1209 This is to instantly remove the interceptor's shield. Interceptor shields diminish over time and eventually disappear, but this video is a speed run, so I had to do a ram attack to instantly wipe them out.

[@geist-2111]

These swarm kills are impressive, i see you never shot at the leading reticle but off center and knew where the swarm would move

[@user-zd9kq3zh2k]

[@Barry3819]

why does it stop attacking when you reboot the ship?

[@MuQuuu]

This technique is explained in detail in the following pages. www.antixenoinitiative.com/wiki/combat/bypass-mechanics ...Fundamentally, we don't know much about why the thargoids lose sight of us.

[@Barry3819]

​@@MuQuuu weird ass thargoids. thanks for the link though. i'll be able to use that whenever i end up fighting one of these things

[@GiantkittenGodMusic]

@@MuQuuu I believe it’s because they fight your radar signature or something related to that and your ship stops sending out locator blips and positional data when rebooting as all systems temporarily go offline but life support.

[@an_ordinary_goose]

@@GiantkittenGodMusic that would make sense. It's likely they track after a mechanical/electronic signature rather than an organic one (it's possible they aren't even aware the pilot is inside the ship).

[@General_Mills_]

Because as long as you're under 20% heat, it doesn't see you. He ejects heatsink then does the R&R, during which no extra heat is produced, so he doesn't get attacked.

[@MuQuuu]

@@airfigueruelo3644 If you want to win a 1v1 battle against goid, the cutter is the most powerful large ship. It has a large capacity of shields, a large capacity of hull, and speed. However, if you are fighting multiple goid, the cutter is the worst choice. When fighting multiple goid, I usually cold orbit them. However, the cutter's side thrusters are very poor, making it almost impossible to maintain a cold orbit. The big ships that can fight multiple goids are corvette, orca, and beluga.😉
