Arf is enjoying pint after pint while out on vacation right now. I sincerely doubt he wants to see anything related to Elite right now lol. And thank you!
are those enhanced ax multicanons any good to stick onto a krait for combat zones? I'm building a titan bomber rn, but want a ship to participate in the station fights. Also, is there a good build for a larger ship for the same purpose? (let's say, a build for an Anaconda?
Krait does OK with enhanced Multicannons in AXCZs. It’s great vs scouts there. For interceptors, it falls far behind guardian weapon builds but it is still serviceable.
Gauss is a lot more accessible as a build, as you only need to unlock one weapon (the medium guardian gauss cannon) and then you can buy as many as you want for credits. So long as you’re doing “port” CZs, where you can repair and rearm in a hot second, the limited ammo count of gauss isn’t an issue really. Medium Modified Guardian Shard Cannons (the ones sold ONLY in Mbooni) are the superior option for CZs, but they are pay-per-module, and quite expensive in terms of materials, so they are usually a later-game option. Good luck and have fun!
@@Astyrrean Many thanks for the tips.! Just trucking 2 AX core chasiss' on the engineering round - thank heavens for carrier and also unlocked Mbooni, so standard Gauss will be the first unit and I'll check-out the other builds when I have recovered from the current massive grind, schlep and engineering round.
@@Astyrrean QQ please, actually 2: On the Gauss build, you have 2 x HSL + CSL + SFN for AXCZs vs 4 x HSL for Solo. (1) what is the difference between Solo and AXCZ please and (2) If using the Beam laser then how to combat the swarm? Thanks! (hint: What's the recommendation for a total beginner please?)
I'm new to AX Combat - how would I handle the need of a fuel scoop? Take a Bubble Taxi to my AX location (or near it, more aptly), call the Krait over, then go hog wild with Xeno combat?
Even if you don't have personal carrier you can always pick some temporary base near the titan for a ship swap point, be it someone else fleet carrier (not recommended since someone can jump out any time) or nearest station. Search on Inara for a station which has ability to move your ship there and has all required services working, so basically shipyard+rearm+repair+refuel+outfitting. For example near current Titan target which is Thor (Col 285 Sector IG-O c6-5) closest fully working station which checks all above conditions and is operational is I believe Leberecht Tempel Port at HIP 18857. You either put a fuel scoop on your current AX ship get there and transfer all required equipment and refit it on site then go for hunting (cheaper way) or use other ship which is suited for exploration go there and transfer your AX ship there (quicker)... or you can take a taxi :D If you are new to AX join Anti-Xeno Initiative discord, it's like unlimited AX knowledge place with dozens of people online to help you out :)
For solo combat: Type 8 vs Hydra (Livestream) - Part 2 ruclips.net/user/live_2iC4n6vLA0?feature=share For Titan and Spires, the T8 just sucks really. But I believe you may already know that ;).
Kill Hydra in it and then we can start talking like men. I've seen many people including newbies in Python MK2 on spire sites, in titan space, in AXCZ's and most shared the same issue, quickly were disappearing from the radar, while in Krait MK2 with 64t of limpets I could stay there for hours or until got bored without even thinking to go for rearm/repair. There is no role Python MK2 can do and Krait MK2 cannot, but many roles Krait can do and Python will cry for mercy.
@@lostrecognition9996 Lol well, sure if we are talking about MK1 then technically similar to Krait MK2. I must admit I never tried to use it for AX combat, have one for a long range mat farming tho. But while it has one more optional slot it's also quite slower than Krait so against let's say Basilisk you are going to have a hard time. So after all, maybe not as fragile as Mk2, it still has some drawbacks.
@@lostrecognition9996 It's probably similar reasons why people pick Chieftain over Challenger. Speed handicap cannot be neglected though, it's convenient to be able to keep out of range and rearm/repair without worries. In Python there has to be even more to the story like weapon convergence and flight characteristics, but have to test it to find out myself. You intrigued me though, I might do some interesting challenge in Python MK1 and post it on AXI to prove it's really a viable option people forgot about, if it turns out to be somehow pleasurable to use.
![The Krait MK2 Review : The Python's Rival [Elite Dangerous]](/img/1.gif)
What's the next ship in the series? Python Mk2?
Yes!!! The Krait is Great!
Been using a krait mk2 as my ax combat ship since the war started 🫡
Thank you!!! Btw, link to 2024 Modshard Krait Mk2 (ModShards) goes to the Plasma build.
Fixed. Thank you!!
Don't let Arf see this :) Excellent video, hugely knowlegeable and it gave me a new appreciation for FDev's design. o7

Got two kraits 2. A plasma and a shard. Both are great.

Fantastic video. Just getting 2 common core Krait Mk2 chassis' ready. As a total noob to AX should I start with the Gauss variant for AX CZs?

Agreed
What are these antique xenos and why aren't they space dust yet? 😂

Yes this just about sums it up. And, a day or two later, buy a carrier with your AX money and hop around with that.
Even if you don't have personal carrier you can always pick some temporary base near the titan for a ship swap point, be it someone else fleet carrier (not recommended since someone can jump out any time) or nearest station.
