This is exactly what i needed! Tried this with the maelstrom orca i’ve been using since the war started and got detected and attacked constantly, will certainly try this build and the tactics used here. Thanks.
Excellent guide thanks. Things seem to have changed in current Battle for Sol - Cocijo. I have been sitting very close to the titan at 0% heat and still had Interceptors laying into me! Making things very difficult. May be best waiting until Titan is in meltdown phase?
Nice video and explanation. I would critique your voice volume when you were in the Maelstrom, we barely hear you. Just adapt the volume so we can hear what you say. Other than that, great video. Glory to Mankind! Lv, Cmdr Frozen Kombat
You are absolutely right. Unfortunately I recorded in such a way (joint audio track instead of split track) that it became impossible to fix in post production … lesson learnt for next time and apologies for the inconvenience!
@@Astyrrean I am not sure of your stance on AI, but there are things out there that can separate speech from other sound. Some are better than others. Just separate speech from all other audio and rebalance the speech to be the proper volume. It may sound a little off if you pay attention, but it could possibly help if this happens again!
I tried a Clipper similar to this one. It was actually fast and looked technically adequate on paper. The only problem is you may want to add a few Ax-Mcs. Because when glavies or Scythians block your path, even Clipper's speed cannot cope with them and they definitely send you to the rebuy screen. For this reason, I would add 2-3 weapons to this anaconda and go like that. Yes, they will emit some heat, but if you turn off the modules when you fall into the titans, the problem will be solved.
I run a Clipper, unarmed except for the extraction missiles. I silent-boost on interdictions, and hug the hull otherwise. I've found it more effective than fighting.
o7 CMDR. I find your videos very helpful, well done. Please check your build in the description though. It has the sub surface displacement missile instead of extraction. If I had been paying better attention, I would have noticed before going all the way to Raijin🤦
Nice tutorial! I've been thinking about giving this a whirl, and this gives a lot of great info! Thanks! I wonder how they contribute to the war effort... like does it count against the control of the titan system? Slow expansion?
Hey, thanks for this video and the ship-build! 👍 One question: Why Reinforced, and not Enhanced Low Power Shields, if temps are so important? Also a minor feedback on the video: The game's sound is too loud, making your voice hard to understand.
Thank you! This was a while back. I think I fixed the audio-balancing issues at this point :). You can totally go ELP with the shields if you want - the TitanBomber PMk2 uses those (D-rated to boot!)
How do you stop the hud flickering (which makes the drill very hard to use)? Is it something like an EDHM tweak? The problem I'm having is that my Chieftain, even running at 18% heat (1% after thermal beams) constantly attracts interceptor/hunter aggressors, typically just as I'm about to collect my first pods, meaning I have to retract the scoop and run around the other side of the Titan.
Colder than 1%? And in the mining sequences your HUD isn't flickering nearly as much as mine does ... perhaps my use of EDHM for HUD colouration is making things worse? I'll have to investigate.
In the minigame that rolls in the bottom left panel, the screen will auto-scroll until a bright blue section shows up. Release when the indicator is on top of the blue section.
Thanks for the video and the build! The problems I experienced so far with my Krait (cold, below 18% for sure) - the titan still gets alerted often (when its hull becomes red); when it happens, it also alerts nearby vessels, interceptors deploy swarms and I need to hide under titan's features. When it happens several times, the titan does his blue force field attack, after which I need to repair half of my hull and a bunch of modules. To effectively compete with a scythe, I need a lot of limpets, so I run with 2x 5A collectors. I'll try shielded Anaconda, I wonder if my piloting skills will be enough to hide it in caves if needed :) ~CMDR VitalyNcr
Tried it out. Yeah, a shielded build is definitely great for this! The shield allows me to tank for a bit if I'm spotted while my limpets are finishing collecting, the shield saves my hull during the blue force field attack. I even run with one fully engineered 0A shield booster (+74% to the shield) and I'm still cold enough...
I've done really well with a Cold Clipper build. It lets me run a 7A universal for the 8 concurrent collectors; and it's got a boost of 600+ for when it's time to run from the blue disco.
@@VitalyNcrYT Admittedly, losing a lot to the 7A Unversal.... But 88 in my current configuration. I could go more, but at the loss of HRP, MRP. BTW: The pods are non-corrosive. No requirement to stick to the Class 4 CRCR's anymore.
O7 Cmdr, good video BUT wrong fitting in EDSY, you indicate 2B/ Sub-surface Displacement Missile where it MUST be 2B/ Sub-surface Extraction Missile. Because of this mistake it was impossible to extract the biocapsules ... I hopefully identify the mistake and corrected my fitting.
Is this somehow actually worth doing? Does it effect the war effort alot of do you make good money like whats the point exactly. Atleast in passenger rescue you can get lots of grade 5 mats and good money also way simplier to do
to those who made the same mistake as i did DISPLACEMENT missiles and EXTRACTION missiles have very similar names and are both in the mining section, in order to rescue pods from the titan you need the EXTRACTION missiles
This is fantastic, but so far all I've gotten is an expensive rebuy. I duplicated your build and got to the Titan more or less okay, but then spent almost 15 minutes flying around the surface of the Titan, constantly firing the pulse wave xeno scanner, but never found a single sub-surface storage chamber. Eventually the `Goids tired of me, and the Glaives made short work of me before I could get away.
Are you holding the PWS until the scan completes? (It has a "charge" time) Also, are you sure you're using the Thargoid version, and not the "asteroid" version of the pulse waver scanner?
@@Astyrrean I'm definitely using the right module, but I think I was missing the need for a charge up. I'll definitely make sure I'm doing it right next time. Thank you for the tip! GLORY TO MANKIND!!
It progresses all “counterstrike” systems at the same time. So it’s quite the boost! Also, it progresses also systems that host Thargoid Barnacle Matrixes (which are otherwise “locked” from any progression), and it appears to be the only way to make progress in those.
@@Astyrrean sure, but neither can the conda escape using speed, and the Type 10 has that size 8 cargo bay, leaving a lot of slots for HRPs, should get to over 10,000HP hull, and could fight off the hunter class that GS at least? All just theory on my part mind.
Once you're in there, evasion is way more profitable than fighting. I've got several maelstrom builds for different purposes, and I don't use the T10 anymore. After much experimentation, my favorites: Cloud Farming = Dolphin, Core Caustic Cargo Farming = Dolphin, Core Human Rescue = Clipper.
Great guide, definitely going to try it! one tip for the video: quickly moving your mouse back and forth between module slots while you're talking about them is almost seizure inducing. the clicking, the screen flashing flashing flashing, it's all very distracting. there's no reason to quickly pop pop pop between heatsinks while talking about them :)
I feel like they should allow people who do this to get the Titan decal as well. I mean, they are in the maelstrom after all. Let the combat pilots take on the cores and the ones that dont like combat but want to help the war effort do this kind of stuff for the decal, etc. I think that would be cool. However, im a noob so wtf do i know 😂

Super nice tutorial
add flight assist off when the pulse comes on the way out, then you keep 2500m/s all the way out of harm
Good tip!
I wish I read this comment two days ago :(
Excellent explanations, thank you for this.
This is awesome - nice job :) o7
Excellent guide thanks. Things seem to have changed in current Battle for Sol - Cocijo. I have been sitting very close to the titan at 0% heat and still had Interceptors laying into me! Making things very difficult. May be best waiting until Titan is in meltdown phase?
Rescues during meltdown are definitely the easiest ones!

how to avoid the turrets? i safely fly past the patrols at the collapsing titan, but the turrets still raise the alarm.....
Turrets never raise the alarm. If turrets shoot you, it’s because you’ve been heat-locked by a patrol. The answer is always the same: run cold!
How do you stop the hud flickering (which makes the drill very hard to use)? Is it something like an EDHM tweak?
The problem I'm having is that my Chieftain, even running at 18% heat (1% after thermal beams) constantly attracts interceptor/hunter aggressors, typically just as I'm about to collect my first pods, meaning I have to retract the scoop and run around the other side of the Titan.
HUD flickering - you can’t
Hostile attention - be colder, stay closer to Titan
Colder than 1%? And in the mining sequences your HUD isn't flickering nearly as much as mine does ... perhaps my use of EDHM for HUD colouration is making things worse? I'll have to investigate.
@@alecturner07Don't use beams. Since Update15 beams increase Titan threat and make your life harder. Stick to a "naturally cold" build.
Do you have an updated build and guide for this?
Alas, I don’t. A lot of the info is still current however!
@Astyrrean thank you, good to know.
I don't understand the blue zone when firing. What is this blue zone? Thanks
In the minigame that rolls in the bottom left panel, the screen will auto-scroll until a bright blue section shows up. Release when the indicator is on top of the blue section.
Thank you. I didn’t see it on my small screen. Thanks again

@CMDR Mechan
What HOTAS or flight stick do you murder all those goids with?
Mouse and keyboard! I used to have a Logitech X56 but when it broke down I decided to make the switch.
@@Astyrrean Mouse and keyboard definitely
feels better for accuracy. The FA off difference is like night and day.

Thanks for the callout. This was an ollllllddddd build made before SSEMs were available on EDSY! Definitely time to update it.
Very useful video, but @ 14:23 what blue zone??
Watch the bottom left of the screen
Is this somehow actually worth doing? Does it effect the war effort alot of do you make good money like whats the point exactly. Atleast in passenger rescue you can get lots of grade 5 mats and good money also way simplier to do
I works pretty well as far as the war effort is concerned, especially when spires are not available, like at Raijin right now.
whenever i try to shoot, the missiles just glance off of the titan without actually burrowing
to those who made the same mistake as i did
DISPLACEMENT missiles and EXTRACTION missiles have very similar names and are both in the mining section, in order to rescue pods from the titan you need the EXTRACTION missiles

I had no idea that this was a thing in game.
thank you so much!
superb tutorial, but the background noise of the game is too loud… keep up the good work
One thing I’ve learned over time is … music to -32dB, game to -20dB. I did not know that back when I recorded this … agree with your comment 100%!
Thanks! In what way does it help the war (as the maelstrom systems don't progress)? Does it progress a system around the Titan at random?
It progresses all “counterstrike” systems at the same time. So it’s quite the boost! Also, it progresses also systems that host Thargoid Barnacle Matrixes (which are otherwise “locked” from any progression), and it appears to be the only way to make progress in those.
@@Astyrrean wonderful, thanks
Has anyone used a Type 10? Seems viable on paper but maybe I missed something ....
It is very, very slow. Extremely difficult to escape interdictions that practically inevitable just to even get there.
@@Astyrrean sure, but neither can the conda escape using speed, and the Type 10 has that size 8 cargo bay, leaving a lot of slots for HRPs, should get to over 10,000HP hull, and could fight off the hunter class that GS at least? All just theory on my part mind.

Agreed! Although I have a 5 kills decal, a separate distinct "Rescue" emblem would go along way to credit these CMDR's accomplishments.
I think that mission is not simpler or easier than shooting missiles at the titan core.
Meaby next time reduces your game sound a bit... it's louder then your voice wen flying to the maelstrom.
I think, this doesn't work anymore.
It does rn
