Elite Dangerous: Fighting Thargoids is Suddenly Much Easier | Now is the Time to Try

Elite Dangerous: Fighting Thargoids is Suddenly Much Easier | Now is the Time to Try

The escalating Thargoid war and the machinations of Caleb “the Witch” Wycherly, otherwise known as Salvation, have dominated the Galnet News Headlines in Elite Dangerous in recent months.
The conflict with the mysterious Alien threat is seriously heating up and if you’ve never tried Anti Xeno combat or have perhaps been a little intimidated by it before now, it could seem like you’re about to be left even further behind.

In this video we’re going to go over why that actually isn’t the case and in fact there may never have been a better time to jump in and give bug stomping a try.

Yeah ...its pronounced Sa-BATH-ius ...not Sa-BATHE-ius ....Sorry Sab!!! :) o7

[LaughingAndy]

I’m about seven thousand light years outside the bubble at the moment and it’s kind of tempting to head back.

[chargersrt]

I tried AX once before. Died instantly. After researching, I purchased another Chieftain. Built it up over the years. Now I'm gathering materials to unlock the modified Gauss Cannons.
I play Elite effectively now, all my ships have 1 job.

[bigcee]

Thanks for urinating in my soup, here's me thinking I'd suddenly turned into a Thargoid killing Terminator and it turns out they've just been dumbed down. Oh well, I've never taken down so many in such a short space of time, I'm claiming that as a victory

[crazygolm]

Nice filming! I'm not taking part in Salvation's plans due to my views in the whole xenocide debate, but the AX conflict zones look really cool! Looking forward to seeing what happens over the coming weeks o7

[Stabby_Dave]

If a Hydra targets you, drop a heatsink and run. Run far, run fast or you'll be looking at a rebuy within seconds.

[TheLampMan-JaE]

Watching those Farragut-Class Battlecruisers go to town on those Thargoid Scouts and Interceptors was a surreal sight to behold, thanks for the top-quality footage!

[dmain]

Guardian AI is gonna reappear due to Salvations efforts. Neither Thargoid or Human will be safe.

[arrynroyce]

The passive swarm bug is affecting all AXCZs in that system, not just the ones at the capital ships.

[Torrle]

Before these Capital Ship AXI zones appeared, I'd only killed 2 cyclops, and with help. I checked out these new zones primarily because I wanted to see the capital ships in action, but stayed because the fights were much easier! Now I'm over 20 interceptor kills and got my first Basilisk -- and I know that's not a big deal for some, but it is to me. These zones are pretty fun, and definitely a great way to learn how to fight scouts and interceptors alike!

[Slepnair]

What I always had issues with is that it never really seemed feasible for me to fight in my preferred ship. The Federal Corvette. It's the main ship I generally fly in general.

[henryvaneyk]

I still sucked and lost a few Kraits harvesting Space Flowers. Usually the caustic damage gets me, but I was also toasted by a Hydra's lightning beams. But got a few lessons also in fighting them. What I did realise is that they move around a lot more than is apparent from many tutorial videos I have seen. It is not so easy to hit those exerted hearts. One thing I also learned is that it is vital to keep a few hull repairing limpets on the ship.

[CMDREagle]

"Caleb The Witch Wycherly" sounds like some nick his buddies gave him back when he was a uni punk XD

Thanks for the report, and awesome shots Rheeney. So crazy to see my Federal Gunshoe on the screen, and all the other guys in our wing :D

[David-dejn]

You inspired me, I just spent ages converting a coriolis Krait2 AX build into an EDOMH wishlist, I actually have many of the basics ready, thankfully, just need a handful of very specific things

[AntonMaslo]

I hope they keep this as an easing-in feature in the long run. Especially since I'm halfway from Colonia to Sag A*, and can't be bothered to turn around for now.

[MichaelCWBell]

Thanks Buur. Yep. I’m intimidated. But I need to get into this up-to-now neglected part of my ED life. Wish me luck.

[CMDR_CLASSIFIED]

As per the Guardian sites in Odyssey, I go to them often, as I help new Commanders at them by providing "air support" as it were, as well as directing them around the sites. I have found that the Sentinels in Odyssey take a lot longer for me to kill from my ship, versus in Horizons. It's been a couple of weeks since I have been out that way, but I will go back there soon to verify the lack of Sentinel missile attacks.

[PaulusLink]

Maybe a little tip for guardian sites. I put a point defense on my ship to take down the missles of the sentinels at the guardian sites.

[Play_In_Traffic]

Man, I cannot wait until September. I'm ready to REALLY play ED again. After I get my console transfer I'll be jumping in on this.

[ONEMINUTEGROWER]

I have been out for so long that my fleet carrier got scuttled and now I have a bunch of credits to build a thargoid hunter. Literally only thing in Elite I haven't done.
