Explorer and Xeno-Hunting Tips Anyone?

[starfaller]

Anyone have any Explorer or Xeno-Hunting tips to share besides Running away.

What do my follow explorers usually role with for crew and ship?

Anyone crazy enough to hunt Xenos...and live?

Not sure if there are missions to clear out Xenos for credits yet. If not I hope the Devs put those in.

@starfaller - great topic for conversation! Hopefully some of the xeno hunting pros will show up and share. I know a few of them haunt the discord.

I know @brutus saw this yesterday and went straight for it --

My piece of advise, two soldiers with full auto in the back, combat medic on the second row and whatever you want up front.

I was nervous my first combat but this team smoked them at about level 15 on.

Looking forward to the new crew combat rules due to super teams like this. Team will still be powerful under the new initiative rules but you'll have lots of reasons to Branch out and consider new talents.

@Trese Brothers I look forward to that immensely, I love boarding ships and just tearing them apart from the inside.

More Space games need boarding combat!

I'm a CC fan that sees the -2 -3 -6 CC minicard game as +2 +3 +6. Doing double rounds(no pause) with xenos is my favorite.I posted my tips and strategy in the Tips and tricks section but I usually prefer going with soldiers, BH, swordsmen and healers/buffers. Didn't do that much exoscouts.
But all that will change soon imo(new CC meta and maybe some love @exoscouts)

Ooh I would not mind hunting more Xenos, It would be cool if you could sell their bodies to local system governments or something.

Look into the Talents that can help you gather artifacts from their ships. Destroy their ships in battle, you can Rep bonuses with the locals and good credits.

Also -- where there are xeno there are Artifacts. This is what you are seeking, Captain.

Just don't let the Templars find out that you're a xeno artifact collector. ;)

[starfaller]

Can't wait for more xenos types to come out to hunt. Exo-Scouts are an ok class but I would love to see a Xeno-Hunter class with talents focused and hunting them down and destroying them. In some ways BH is just a better class than Exo-Scout. I think they need evade as a skill and their genades need more kick to them. BH hunt normal prey (people) these guys hunt nightmares and should have the talents to prove that.

May turn the scouts into Xeno-hunters or make a new class.

Yeah, the Xeno Hunter's design was finished in mid-2017 but the Kickstarter and backers elected to put that Job off until after the alpha.

It might make it into EA, will depend on reviews and sales a bit to see where we end up.

We will not be replacing Exo-Scout ;) <3

[starfaller]

Heck, I'm just glad there is a Xeno-Hunter class. Hope it can be brought in.

[Trese Brothers]

Absolutely is on the list of jobs.

[CoryTrese]

But please please don't ask us to kill jobs like Exo-Scout that are having such high success with players.

We're going to add content, not remove it. Hope that helps!

[starfaller]

Got it
