Guardian Hull/Module/Shield Reinforcement/

With all the talk of the Krait on Livestream, this kinda snuck under the radar.

Thoughts?

Skip to 55m18s if the link doesn't work correctly.

thoughts?
which G sites (modular and weapon) would you consider the most user friendly to an SRV hater?..namely me

Pardon me for going slightly off topic, but has FDev reduced the amount of mats by half to unlock guardian tech?

They did say they will make it easier to grind for guardian tech and does this also mean triggering the orb for blueprints will be less grindy in 3.1?

M, I had some notes down actually but I lost them, I still have bookmarks, if you give me a little bit, I'll tell you a couple Module and Weapon sites that don't have like 500kLs trips I deleted all my bookmarks while mapping a Neutron Highway during the Colonia CG lol.

Yeah, it looks like the Blueprint grind is about 1/4 as bad as it used to be, sometimes only 1/2 tho.

looking for easiest sites to drive around (most intuitive, less obsticles etc) rather than distance to
so if anybody feels like helping me out on this score..

I'm considering at some point making a Cobra based around guardian tech.

No Small guardian weapons though D: I want some Guardian crystal torpedos or something on Small hardpoints. Deal no/minimal hull damage, but breach shields and deal critical module damage. Something interesting to make a new Torpedo meta, lol.

Kind of makes the whole concept of shields and hull to be irrelevant, don't you think?

Damn you FD!!!!

Hmm, well, i can probably stick something else on the small hardpoints. Perhaps some AX weaponry, although i hear with the advent of guardian tech it makes the AX weapons redundant.

Also i really dislike how FD are trying to push multicrew by making turrets only work as turrets for MC... unless they have changed that for Guardian tech (talking about the AX stuff).

And as i understand, no gimballed guardian tech... which makes zero sense. I can't even see a gameplay reason for it... and from a lore perspective its just stupid.

not kind of, actually make them irrelevant.

[Witcher]

Welp, AX weapons are alternatives for those who dislike grinding

Well, RR Flechettes already do this. Granted, they're kind of a high-skill weapon. And Torpedos have hard counters (Like speed or PD)

[Hobo Misanthropus]

New thought: what if the Guardian Shield Reinforcement can be placed into Military Compartments? I sure hope it can. (I doubt the Hull reinfrocement will be better than engineered HRP) (Hopefully FSD boosters can be placed in the eventual Exploration compartment too)

[Witcher]

So is Guardian Hull Reinforcement better than engineered HRP?

Only against Thargoids, and even then, it depends on if you can stack more than 2 so you can really bolster the Caustic resistance.

[Witcher]

Thanks, so majority of Guardian and AX mods are good for Thargoid combat only :/
