50% Core Damage with the Python Mk2 "TitanBomber 3.0A"
This isn't engineering overhaul. It's just changes to grind. The engineering in itself is unbalanced and broken. And changing upgrades would be considered as an overhaul.
Thanks very much! Been back for a year and looking to try something new for me the game. Very helpful guide😊
I actually like the engineering part of the game. collecting the mats, flying around the bubble to the engineers, getting a tricked out ship at the end...
It’s fun a few times maybe. After your 3rd time, it really becomes a chore.
Agree with your take on everything here.
On foot requirements have been reduced by 60-80%
Also, if anyone has spare tactical core chips on their FCs, happy to pay.
I don’t think those can be sold. They are not commodities, nor bar-items.
I stepped away from suit eng 6 months ago, just had enough 😅
On-foot requirements have been drastically reduced and missions give way more materials as well as materials previously unobtainable from missions alone.
As a CMDR new to the AXI and kept out of AX stuff because of my reluctance to dip into engineering, these are incredibly welcome changes.
I'm going to get the Stellar, but I'm going to use the default color for the Type-8. But I want a ship kit that puts a back hoe and bucket so I can dig trenches for my future base.
Every time I try this with a cold armored or shielded cutter, goids are on me in volume the moment I start extracting the capsules. I run for the asteroids and lose 20-30% of my armor or burn off an equivalent of my 8a prismatic, which then takes 15-20 minutes to rebuild. What am I missing?
Heat. Stay below 20% heat (with shields charging), and you'll be able to avoid most attention. If you lose shields, "cold reboot" (do a reboot/repair of your ship while at a standstill) - will auto-rebuild your shield to 50% instantly. If you need to run, run to the safe spot, not to the asteroid field.
So when are they implementing the update for engineering the 7th as well?
Yes.
Awesome!!! o7 CMDR MECHAN and Glory to Mankind.
Type 8 joins the "Best Looking Ships" along with Imperial Ships and the Fed. Corvette. 10/10 on that design.
AX SRV when?
really excited for this update ive been neglecting the anti-xeno part of the game due to the engineering grind required so im hyped that the python mk2 and engineering changes are just a weak away maybe i can finaly get into AX
No time like the present!
Hoping to see the Hydra takedown using the Beluga pre-build!
I mean a Beluga vs Hydra has already been done, and the pre-built doesn't add much to it really ... so will skip on that one.
ELITE LITANY!
Litany against the Swarm
Jeez, I hope they do something to correct the suit grind! Sooooooooooo slow! 🥱
Go to a system, that recovering after thargoid occupation - there a lot of power recovering missions with various data and materials. Better choose a system with big amount of Odyssey settlements.
For the first few seconds I thought "is it Halloween already?" but then I noticed a lack of fangs
I always thought pod recovery only effected counterstrike systems that were previously inhabited. Does it influence all counterstrike systems arround the titan?
Now it does apparently. That changed when the whole war progression changed.
@@Astyrrean Great thanks for confirming. Time to get my clipper out.
Aegis Reforged, in a multisquadron coalition, are already working on it, 10,5K Thor's pods, I have 5229 Cocijo's pods stored for future campaign. The discord channel include ship builds and advice.
The links I am finding for the Discord appear to be defunct. Is there an updated one?
@@waremtaethalin6388 Hi! I'm XenosAurion from Aegis Reforged. All of our invite links should be functional. Could you tell me which link you were attempting to use and I can see what we can do to help? We tend to direct newcomers towards our INARA page, under Aegis Reforged Coalition.
Hello cmdr, thanks for the update. I was wondering if you can link me where you found the news that mentions the engineering rebalance, i can't find it

OK, got my marching orders.

It's been 17 seconds. How have there been no comments yet?
Excellent video guide! Absolutely love the detailed walkthrough of the build, complete with anecdotes and external references. This is a great format and immensely useful for those of us still learning; you capture a lot of knowledge here. Hoping there will be more like this in a set, for other AX ship builds.
We are all still learning CMDR :). Glad it was helpful.
We only realised you joined our discord chanel after u left, some one was like "was that Mechan? " 😂 anyways gg on sidewinder damage/control 🤣👌
That looks... way too easy
I’ve done a Dusa in a sidey solo (as have a handful of others.) By that metric, a duo sidey Dusa is comparatively a lot more doable. But, yes, not something you should attempt without extensive practice :).
Challenger ftw But my chief is still built and it’s fun to get out and feel the zippy girl fly. Did my hydra solo kill in chief (with mod shards, of all things)
I once tried the Chieftain because it was recommended, but didn't really like the fact that the canopy appears to break if you breathe too hard towards it. In contrast, I have had the canopy of the Krait Mk2 break on me just a couple of times. It can take some serious punishment.
Canopy integrity is primarily a factor of number of module reinforcement packages on the ship. A chieftain’s canopy with 3 MRPs is pretty sturdy. Especially considering that getting a repair limpet attached for even a second repairs it to 100% near instantly. But if you have fewer than three MRPs, or if you misconfigure your MRPs (for example, put your largest one in a military slot), then it can be easily smashed.
why you have a scoop button? fuel scoop? don't you mean cargo hatch?
Scoop is cargo scoop. Used for maneuvering as scoop caps your boost speed.
@@Astyrrean it's still a cargo hatch. it can scoop materials you still have to do the scooping manually, or with limpets. ;) it can't cap boost speed, cause you can't boost with it open. ;)
it's a windbreaker in space... it's the pit limiter in space. it's the perfect turn assistance... oh and it allows cargo to enter the cargo bays!
@@CrazyBite2007 It absolutely can cap your boost speed (and do other amazing maneveurting-related things for you). You just need to drop it AFTER you boost. Use “hold” (not “toggle”) for best results.
@@Astyrrean We both know what it does. but if you have it deployed the boost won't work it doesn't do anything. so there's nothing to cap. if you deploy it after boosting it stops the boost pretty abrubt the boost doesn't continue at that time. capping nothing. it just makes it feel like it gets capped? I know it's used for maneuvering and has combat use but it never caps boost. Just can boost and can't boost.
how to interdict that witch is not on your radar in supercruise?
Thanks❤
Good stuff
Thanks, that was really helpful
Pretty sure i saw a "40" in the rewards notification, meaning this was before the Orthrus nerf. If anyone's seeing this for the first time, what they're doing has been reduced to only paying 15m per kill now so it's not as much per hour but it IS still very easy money
That’s correct!
Awesome video mechan! Imo i love the chieftain, it's been the cornerstone of ax combat for many and should be for years to come. Whether it's the meta chieftain or your own variation, It is just a ship that does the job perfectly whilst looking amazing in the process.
I still use the chieftain for fighting titans, 4 standard shard cannon modded to resist the ag field do provide decent damage but there is no denying that it has less firepower than the python 2 or krait for the same role.
Is the Chally really inferior to the Chief for solo AX?
The biggest drawback of the Chally vs Chief in 1:1 is the fact that the Chally is notably slower. While the Chief can near-effortlessly cold-orbit without boost, most Chally configurations do occasionally need a boost-couple to avoid stalls. Which on a 6A PD SC5/CE is a bit tricky as, unlike the 7A of the Krait, it cannot sustain perma-boost on 2 ENG pips. So, yes, the Chief is a notably better solo fighter than the Chally for that reason. The counter-point to that, is that the Chally’s 3m gauss has pinpoint convergence and is outstanding at heart sniping, and flakless it can use two Cytos in addition to beams to batter down shields real fast. But it’s harder to use, and the lower speed&agility still hold it back overall.
Chieftain remains one of the best ships vs. Interceptor. Good video.
This is super helpful! Thank you! Cant wait for the whole series
Fantastic video
Bro left the best meta ship out in a cliffhanger, but we all know that the best ship is the Millennium Faulcon De Lacy
I have many AX ships but coming back to the Chief is always a pure pleasure!
Great vid!! The background music is perfect
