Can anyone recommend a type 10 combat or ax combat build?

[Mr Robert House]

I have a corvette which I use for everything, refitting it at Jameson memorial as needed. But I want something different exclusively for combat. I have acces to all 20 bubble engineers at grade 5 and am willing to farm whatever mats I need within reason.

My initial thoughts are:

making it a hull tank with low draw biweave shields (can a charge enhanced 6a PD handle that) since it's shield strength is utter trash because if its mass. Then as much hull reinforcement as I can give it with thermal resistant reactive surface composite.
A class 7 SCB with 2 heat sinks 4 heavy duty boosters and 2 thermal block boosters
Reinforced power plant for improved heat efficiency and hull tanking.

Then I'm not sure about weapons. In my corvette I rely on corrosive multis and efficient beams.
In this i was thinking 2 high capacity small corrosive multi cannons, 3 high capacity drag munition packhounds and 4 incindiary multi cannons with overcharged. All turreted, and a beam laser SLF.

I have no idea how good incindiart multicannons are though. I could make them regular multis and replace the packhounds with beams

The power checks out on coreolis at a glance but I'm not sure how good it will be

"(can a charge enhanced 6a PD handle that)"

why 6A? the t-10 can take a class seven PD

[Mr Robert House]

Hmmm yeah it can. A friend told me not to get it because it has a ♥♥♥♥♥ c6 distributer.

it did in the beta, before it was introduced i think.

Look on coriolis[coriolis.io]

Well yeah that tells you nothing about heat management, convergence or how it feels in combat

-Can't remember the heat management.

-Convergence is really REALLY crap, Like Barbed Wired crap, like The Lost ending crap, like Season 8 Game of Thrones crap. Like putting rails on the nacelles on a Clipper bad.

-It feels like a slower T9 or a Conda that has wheel locks stuck on it.

I kitted out a T10 with all core modules A rated (not life support & mlitary hull). Biggest Bi-weave shield, rest hull reincforcements but two slots for module reinforcements. Utility slots - all shield boosters and a single shutdown neutralizer. 2 gauss cannons, 2 plasma chargers, rest flaks .
After that I spent the better of a weekend to engineer everything to the teeth and made damn sure to cap out on everything.

Had it delivered down to Ieyasu dock in Pleiades. Hit a 5 signlar source and met up the first cyclops.
After 10 minutes I gave up and high-waked out to Celaeno, docked and stripped everything off and sold the ship.
Edit: I didn't even pop a single heart once! Sure I made it all fancy and red but the damn rails never wanted to hit it just beside it.
It's been more than a year ago, and I have NEVER owned another T-10 after that.

Don't get a T-10. It's a pregnant beached whale and you can't hit the side of a barn with it.

Heat management on the t10 is quite easy to do, if i recall correctly
i could scoop fuel all day long even with a class 8 guardian power plant

[Mr Robert House]

So it sounds like its ♥♥♥♥ against thargoids then, I still do want one and have the money already but I'll probably not engineer much more than the thrusters. Surely with flight assist off and some gimbals it can work against npcs? And a fighter to distract them.

long range and stealth

What about this: https://s.orbis.zone/3cu2

[Mr Robert House]

Actually I'm thinking 4 large long range shield penetrating burst lasers on gimballs. After trying multicannons I feel like the type 10 can't really get close enough and stay on target for them to be great, and the spin up time on class 3 MCs is painful (I love class 4s though).

The class 3 slots will likely be packhounds to murder the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ who use chaff and the smalls will be corrosive turreted multis which I can borrow from my corvette.

[Mr Robert House]

Why does the above build have anti xeno modules but no ax or guardian weapons?

That's my basic design now

I initially planned on a 8 class prismatic but the difference between the 7and 8 was small and the c8 scb is ludicrous

I was going to use bi weaves but the shield strength ends up pitiful

[Tokfan]

You've got -1% resistance vs. lasers on your fat cow. That's the most used weapon ingame, make sure to beef that resistance up with your boosters or you might aswell go shieldless.

[Mr Robert House]

Yeah I know, I just don't feel like messing about in coreolis to perfect it right now, it also may need heat sinks depending on how that reinforced power plant handles a class 8 SCB and packhounds. I'm waiting 3 weeks for the prismatic anyway, which is pretty vital since the SCB would be excessive otherwise
