Railjack solo - how?

[Darkkhelmet]

I'm back after a long break and read that the railjack can be solod now. I built mine when it still cost about 12 million and it's still level 0. I tried the first earth Praxix mission a few times but always fail due to a hull breach. I used the omni tool to fix one breach but then another appears and there is not enough fuel for the tool to fix it. I read about the payload tab in the railjack menu for making the fuel but can not find it. A little beginner help would be appreciated.

When you start the mission, run away as far as you can. Find a place to stash your RJ and then use your archwing. Normal ships you can destroy with gun fire, crewships will require you to get inside and blow up their reactor/fuel tanks.

Once you complete that first mission, everything gets easier because you should have enough intrinsics to get 1-2 crew members and you'll have titanium to build MK3 weapons/hull/shield/etc for your RJ.

First off, get the Rank 1 Command intrinsic, and hire an engineer from Ticker at Fortuna. That should keep your ship from exploding. Later, Ranks 3 and 5 will give you the other two crew slots.

Thanks for the tips. Off to space now :) I still don't know what the payload tab is or where to find it.

First rule of playing the spaceship missions, don't use the spaceship.

The dry dock's Payload tab used to be how you'd manually resupply your Railjack between missions. Now, you only have to worry about resupply during missions, and even then it's mostly for dome charges. These days, your primary dry dock interactions are going to be upgrading your ship, plexus, intrinsics, and crew, and scrapping unneeded salvage for endo.

Dunno if you can consider grab some mod and stuff while coop before solo your RJ

This. Exactly how I shoehorned my way in.

There's a mod that gives you a 25 barrage of target locking missiles - forgotten its name at the top of my head. But once you get that (in mission or trade for it), use hildryn for a high pool of shields to use abilities more often and blow everything up in a couple of clicks.

Without an amesha you'll keep getting 2-shot by crewships.
You don't need to do this at all. Solo was possible previously when railjack was so much more harder. I never left my railjack back then to fight, nor do I do it now. And if you don't have your archwing and archgun modded properly they will do little damage.

If major hull breaches are a problem then remember you have a good chunk of time before the mission fails. Use most of it to deal damage to enemy ships, you are invulnerable while doing so.

After repairing the breach the railjack regains health and is invulnerable for yet another 10 seconds.

If you have allies, or clanmates, they can also trade you the Railjack intrinsics, which might give a leg-up, or run through with allies on higher zones to get better wreckage/resources for improving the ship directly.
