The Best Minotaur Loadout

[1P27]

Does anyone know the best way to use the minotaur's technology space (supercharged slots etc)

Logically, you'd think it would follow similar rules as ships and multitools etc where (for the most part) it's best to put the main tech in the super slots and cluster the upgrades around it, but I don't know of any way to tell for sure.

It's NMS, after all and logic doesn't always apply :)

Anyone tested to see if the AI improves if you put it in a supercharged slot?

It does work like your suit or ship. Just stack the best S or X class upgrades around your items... Cannon, Laser, etc. I have found that putting one of the highest stat upgrades in a supercharge slot, cranking up that upgrade, seems to actually crank up the damage, etc. more than just trying to get the item itself in the slot... but just try it for yourself and see.
If you get good and loaded out, I have a great time with my mech in sentinel and horror battles! Tons of fun and we can melt through those little basterds :)

No, the AI does not appear to be affected that I can tell when I tried it in a supercharge slot. Can't imagine what it would do anyway, but thought I'd try it to see if it targeted better or increased fir rate or something, but nope.

I am not sure there is really a optimal loadout. It is similar to everything else where you just get the best S class addons and maximize their use.

Strategically, I have discovered it sucks for AI against the little alien babies that spawn when you land in the expedition. Have not tried it just suiting up. The main complaint there is it gets damaged very easily by them.

It works best as your suit against the sentinel waves. At least for me. Rarely breaks, and just takes a little time to get used to the third person mode. (Again, for me since I usually always stay in first person mode)

It does feel very OP when fully upgraded for removing sentinels. I am happy about that since I am not a fan of combat and it makes it as brief as possible.

I might be wrong but in some of my files I ended up putting the engine in one S.CH.slot (less re-charging and fuel usage to the point where I never have to add fuel) also S-upgrades, and the special cannon arm (after Leylaps appears) in another.
It just annihilated sentinels at the pillars with no damage taken on AI mode ( have S-class cannon upgrades too).
Never use it for mining though but as weather cover on extreme planets to move quickly around on the ground and underwater.
Just experiment for yourself and the super charged slots.

I tend to supercharge my best s class upgrade to each of engine and canon and then the advanced laser - until I get all the trace of metal upgrades, then swap out the laser for the body or arm that has four effects ( I can't recall which it is now, think it's the last arm we get)

Any result from that test?

Just realised I hadn't answered your question either...
I usually just put the engine modules in the SC slots in my exocraft, but with the minotaur I tend to focus on the weapons... But I rarely use any of them for much beyond storage and radar scans, so I don't think I've got much insight into how best to use them.

Ah, that's disappointing, but also not really any surprise...
