Thargoid Titan Tutorial - Help Save Sol! | Elite: Dangerous

[@x_overkll_x507]

So excited! This is my first time doing this. Been practicing fighting regular thargoids and interceptors and what not, they are so tough, but im getting there.

[@blockyheadgaming]

Best of luck! o7

[@MarcusShogun]

Wasn’t sure how to do it now I am ready. Thank you Sir. Glory to mankind and Commanders like you. Edit: one addition park at mars station in case of break. Worked like perfection!

[@AlexBehemot]

Well, first time bombing a titan, 3 failed attempts to enter (what a kick that pulse gives😵‍💫), fourth attempt successful , first round perfect (I looked like a pro😎), and the second time, I failed to attack the core and just see how it closed before my eyes (not that a pro?😮‍💨😒), but hey, at least I already contributed to the cause😁

[@blockyheadgaming]

Well done!

[@Kuldirongaze1]

I just cannot get the timing right on the neutralizing field, so frustrating.

[@blockyheadgaming]

Once you hear it, full pips to systems, then hold. It does take some practice to learn the timing though.

[@Kuldirongaze1]

@blockyheadgaming I was using the shutdown instead of the pulse. 🙄

[@blockyheadgaming]

@@Kuldirongaze1 Ahh makes more sense! Should be lightyears easier now haha

[@Kuldirongaze1]

@@blockyheadgaming yup. Got to the titan first try. Shot a heat vent. Hit the core and am now eligible for the double engineered SCOs.

Me doing bounty hunting with my beam lasers and multi cannons in my Corvette. I have no idea how to get AX weapons. Didn't even see a single thargoid tho. How can I help 🤣

[@DavidUtau]

Inara and google

[@MIGSmoakz]

Last week was when we could have used you. This next phase is gonna be rough for newer players. Only thing left to do is take out the titan

[@alpfeanor6431]

@@MIGSmoakz Do regular weapons do damage against Thargoids?

[@kauwei]

@@alpfeanor6431 Only 10% of damage

[@blockyheadgaming]

I highly recommend docking at a rescue megaship and outfitting your ship with caustic sink launchers, a thargoid pulse neutraliser and AX multicannons if possible. All are mentioned in the video also.

[@Malthaelx1]

Jokes on you, I’ll be using my shiny new Cobra Mk 5 , that’ll be a good Titan bomber… Plus my fleet of mediums is already bespoke, and I hate retrofitting…

[@blockyheadgaming]

Enjoy your shiny new Cobra, commander!

[@ZappPSR]

In the video you mention AX "Muilti-cannons" while you hover over 3C AX Missile Hack (Pre-engineered). In the ESDY build also are 3C AX Missile Hack (NOT Pre-engineered). I'm at Cornwallis right now and there are no such hardpoints. Should I buy a regular 3C AX Missile Hack elsewhere?

[@blockyheadgaming]

As mentioned in the description, this is a mistake I didn't quite pick up on until it was too late. But to answer your question, yes, AX multi cannons are perfectly fine. Any AX weapons will work other than guardian weaponry, unless you engineer them with the anti-guardian field.

[@blockyheadgaming]

AX Missiles aren't required, multi cannons work just fine.

[@ZappPSR]

@ Ok. Wish me luck. Gonna try it tonight. You only emphasized engineering the thrusters. I have the material for fully engineering like in the EDSY build, but I will give it a first try only engineering Armor, Beam Thermal Vents, and thrusters. I have the ship ready only missing the engineering. Do you think only those are enough?

[@blockyheadgaming]

@@ZappPSR So long as you have sufficient boost speed, you should be fine. Just make sure you have enough for a rebuy and you should be fine!

[@ZappPSR]

@@blockyheadgaming Yesternight, at my first try, I died because I insisted on trying to do it when I was already being attacked. Then I tried a couple more and managed to survive but had no time to damage the core. Now, in the morning, rested, I went there again. Just changed my strategy. Instead of trying to hit many vents, I torpedoed only one and rushed to the core. Then, I shot it when it was rising, deployed and retracting. It gave me 1.4 million, so I guess it was not that bad for a first success. Only one time registered in the Community goal is enough to get the FSD right?

[@ramonyt3902]

If I wanted to focus on bombing runs against the Titan, can I do it without much engineering or no engineering at all?

[@GrayyFloyd]

It will be rough, but if you have a build similar to the Krait MK.II build that can be purchased with ARX you might be okay. I'd try to replicate it in a Chieftan if I were you.

[@blockyheadgaming]

You can do it without engineering, just focus on making a strong and agile ship with a quick boost speed.

[@ramonyt3902]

@ I think I have my Krait for it. So I’ll give that a test when I’m back in the bubble. Once I get the hang of it, I’ll use the python MkII

[@Lemon379X]

I’m not luckiest targoits not letting me to get to sol. ;(

[@blockyheadgaming]

If you prioritise boost speed on your ship, it helps massively with evading the goids after they hyperdict and interdict you.

[@oshavlfarms7239]

Why not use shard cannons for the core?

[@JuffBeezos]

Anti-Guardian field. Guardian weapons will not work without having them engineered for Anti-Guardian field resistance.

[@oshavlfarms7239]

@JuffBeezos wouldn't you need that for the nanites torpedos anyway?

[@oogleyboogley302]

@@oshavlfarms7239nanite torpedoes are resistant

[@AlexBehemot]

I used 2 large AX multi-cannons plus a large AX missile launcher, in addition to a medium beam laser for the core, and in a matter of seconds it worked, the truth is that I noticed that too much firepower is not necessary for the core, at least in solo, I don't know if it will be the same in open. Edit: By the way, being new to the titan bombing, I did not know that the payment for damaging the core was proportional to the damage inflicted each time the core was exposed and attacked, I saw a video from an experienced cmdr and he says that with the shard cannons manage to do about 5m to even 10m each time he damage the core. Being new in this and with the build previously mentioned (which by the way are the modules acquired in the invasion of Shinrarta), I have achieved between 1m and 1.3m for each time I damaged the core, so in a good round I have been able to get a little more than 10m, to be honest it is little, if I go to the Pleiades area to hunt Cyclops I can get more than 80m in 20 to 40 minutes, the same time it takes me to do runs on the titan, so I do it more for the honor XD, if I prepared a ship with shard cannons maybe could achieve the same result, but it is still somewhat difficult to obtain the materials to modify them to resist the anti-guardian field, however, according to the cmdr of the shard cannons, you could get runs of more than 500m per hour with those, but I suppose that would be for someone experienced, for us newcomers I find it difficult to achieve.

[@blockyheadgaming]

You can, but you’ll need to engineer them since the Thargoids have anti-guardian effects active in Sol

[@benniebees]

if i go near the big heatsink my ship goes to 1000 heat xD

[@VerdantWanderer]

I will come to the battle, but only after Star Citizen launches 1.0
