Elite: Game talk | Starfield | INARA (2024)

The moment I "fled" (engines at maximum, I am no match with AX missiles against this kind of attacker) my shield (strength 185 MJ) and my military hull with a strength of 3100 armour are pulverized within 3-5 seconds and my Krait II was history. The attacker was "blocked" by me yesterday because I thought it was a ganker. So blocking didn't help.

You are for at last 10 seconds completely defenseless. You are not warned in advance that you have been "scanned" before the attack starts and the attacker “wait” to shoot until you flee (pathetic sad*stic traits?). The call-name of the attacker cannot be found in the INARA database or via Google.

Does anyone have an idea with which weapons this form of attack is carried out (I'm thinking of a combination of a very cold running Python II with four high damage fragmentation cannons and a pulse Disruptor) for close range combat?

"Why do they do that", namely attack ships that, due to the questionable game design decision, must use equipment inadequate for self-defence to progress the event of Titan siege, or, in general, attack a single player in groups, or someone who can't defend themselves, is a question from the human psychology area. As I like to say, it takes something really horrible to happen during a person's childhood for one to become a griefer in game.

p.s.: Yeah, I've been doing some griefing-the-griefers fun yesterday, with my PvP skills super rusty and ages old, and leftover PvE guns from CZs since my 'primary' activity has been AX for the last like 2.5 years. And, sometimes, it was even successful, lol. Maybe I should get a proper loadout and some training and whatnot. Also, they really like to appear in wings of two at least, which makes going alone sub-optimal as well.

Boah, just got into HIP 20567 and was immediately fried by the Thargoids and sent to the Thales. I guess my phyton isn't quite enough to take the fight.

MeowersYou also need some AX weaponry to do that stuff. Thargoids are immune to the laws of physics and common sense, so there's no real and reliable way of dealing with them without having a specialised build. And, yeah, an under-engineered Python might be a sitting duck in a fight against them.

Ok, txs for this information. Than I know what's to do first. :/

Episparh+ Python (assuming it is the original one) lacks speed. I would advise against using it as a ship for first attempts in AX combat.

Wow, that' very helpful... Thank You!

MeowersHoly craps... Do you all see what I see? Epi advises someone not to use a Python!

I am just a messenger. All the good stuff there is thanks to AXI.

MeowersSo... Some really, really unholy idea appeared in my mind. After looking at those 8.1k Arx I have no real use for. Why can't we purchase cringeneering materials for Arx instead of wasting life on grinding them? Seems like a quite 'justified' option of dumping real money into the game to save time.
