AX Weapons. Just wasting money at this point...

[Indal]

So i said i would join the Thargoid war even if its not as exciting as i expected.
So i went to a system that had the AX rockets with my ASP and transfered my Python aaaaall the way over there paying around 2 mil for the transportation. I prefer that than flying with a Python 13 LYs each time.

I bought 2 turrets and 2 Fixed paying around 5m and something.All is good and fine so i head to Maia.

People tell me that the AX rockets has been nerfed to death (Thargoids adapting).
I say what the hell,ok then i accept it,if i were a player with low pool of money i wouldnt tho.

People tell me that AX multicannons will get released soon.

I waited around 1 hour,relogged and the Multicannons were indeed introduced.

I pay more millions to buy those. Found 3 more guys and we head to a Non human signal source (2 corvettes and 2 Pythons)

We start hitting the Thargoid

99%
98%
97%
...
100%

We hit it for literally 10 minutes straight without stopping and we did jack squat

Are you going to make this event interesting or should i just quit again.
I returned for The Return. But since i dont see you taking this seriously i dont see any reason for me to.

You need to damage the thargoid (don't aim at the hearts) with the missiles.

When one heart is exerted use the MCs to aim for it.

If the missiles still working why is everyone complaining that they got nerfed :/

Multicannons were a dissapointment

Missile damage is the same. Only the piercing value was greatly reduced (it was actually crap to start with... reduced from .05 to .001).
It surprised me (and FDev it seems ... LOL) that it actually did any damage vs. the hearts to start with.

As mentioned above, to kill a Thargoid do (at this moment) the following:

- one of your wing should scan the thargoid with the new aegis xeno scanner to expose sub-targets
- attack the hearts with AX missiles (rumors around, that it works with different weapons... but AX missiles work definitely) until one of the hearts 'open'... they start to glow red and blink on the scanner
- attack the opened heart with AX multicannons until destruction or the heart 'closes'
- repeat until all hearts are destroyed, than finish the thargoid

The AX missiles seem to be designed (in this moment) to open a heart while the AX multicannons are meaned to destroy an open heart. This may be on purpose or due to a nerf mistake... but it works. Whatever, don't try to shoot the thargoid's hull down... that doesn't work yet. :-)

I had the feeling that when you attack without targetting/hitting the hearts the hull gets more damage and the heart opens up faster. But could be that it doesn't matter now since the missiles don't pierce at all any more.

Still what may make a difference. If you don't attack a heart, but jsut the thargoid ship you aim in the middle and maybe your chance to hit is a bit higher. Idk.
