A good Maelstrom to farm is Tanaris (Hyades Sector FB-N b7-6) - it is very close to the primary star, reducing the number of interdictions you should expect. If you have at least 23ish Ly jump range you can also make it to and from a safe system in just 1 jump at time of writing.
I use synthetic to mitigate the 90% hyperdictuon chance and save fuel. You can call rats outside the cloud safely. If undetected you can hide at the top of the Titans inside the spikes. And to leave a maelstrom safely, relog
After watching your vids and playing Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen, X4, Space Bourne etc it's hard not to be amazed at how far PC gaming has come. Then you throw in Game Glass, Tobii eye tracking, track IR, camera head tracking, VR for even more realism. Can only imagine where things will be in a couple more years. Awesome.
Great video! I use a Dolphin with 2,800 hull that idles at 14% heat and 2 TV beams will bring me to zero very fast. It also boosts to 590 m/s and is so small and maneuverable, even when getting shot at by Thargoids, they mostly miss me :) Also be aware of the scouts when getting interdicted - the last update made them more aggressive and do considerably more damage. Hopefully this will get fixed.
@@sosborn1000 I think perhaps they might be using a bigger power plant with G5 low emmissions and thermal spread, the last little bit comes from having a power plant with very low usage (hence why you don't want a small one). Also, bear in mind that using your thrusters generates heat - if you turn FA off you can coast along at full (non-boost) speed with idle heat.
Thanks as always Astro. Your videos are always a great place to start, and then we can try our own builds and come up with new tricks. The view flying close to a Titan is just amazing (especially on my 49" ultra wide monitor). Must be similar in VR. Worth going there just to look around. I hope FDev comes up with a lot more gameplay around these Titans. They are a work of art.
Really appreciate this, thanks. I'm enjoying exploring here and if there's new collectibles with almost zero risk in collecting them, well you'll be missing out when they become needed later.
I'd turn night vision off if you're looking for coarse hull surfaces. They are a much brighter green that can be seen from a distance, but you lose that distinction with night vision on.
heat sinks aren't necessary, the heat from the pulse is high but it drops pretty quickly by itself on most normal ships. I find, especially if you are running a medium ship with only 4 utility slots, to run 2 caustic sinks, as well as the usual scanner and pulse neutraliser. it just makes navigation more comfortable. you can also supplement the cold running with engineering and other such tricks
Great video. It worked for me as far as gathering materials. But how do you deal with the inevitable Glaive attack without multicannons? I also took four enhanced AX multi-cannons and getting back out alive was still challenging.
I feel like the next step is: in 3 months, we will find out how to go inside and dock. We disembark to find the atmosphere inside is caustic and you can only survive for 5 minutes, just long enough to get to see and fight a few Thargoid foot soldiers, collect a handful of new materials and get some new scan data, which will eventually allow you to engineer a combat suit that can survive longer inside. I know it sounds crazy, but Starfield launches in September and they're going to have to do something major to keep people from jumping ship for several months. Thoughts?
I think Frontier doesn't care if people are involved with the game or not. If they were really worried about money, they would be better monetizing this game. They don't give a damn about this game anymore.
I wonder if the following will be added later on. Thargoid weapons for human ships Pilotable Thargoid ships Pilotable guardian ship other than drones Biomechanical space suits to pilot Thargoid ships New fps Thargoid weaponry Just a few ideas
By the way. There is another Material to farm. Caustic Crystals. I have found a single one. just before you enter the Malestorm, still in the Caustic Zone. ED Matrials Helper says (Live only) i just found it when i try to enter the Center.
Interestingly enough the second pulse does usually nothing as u will already be in the center. If you pay close attention neither will the second pulse heat up your ship nor will it slow your ship down.
Can you please do a video on the best order to grind for the modules and weapons needed for the Thargoid war. I'm getting fed up of flying to stations to buy stuff that mean I need to go do something else, for which I needed to grind to get another module to be able to do it, and now it seems I need to get meta-alloys from who knows where. Do Frontier think we all have fleet carriers full of this stuff? Why don't the tech brokers have a hover menu that shows where stuff comes from?
@@Sighman Yes. I was there bwteen the first, farmed mats with abrasion laser out of curiosity, and i am almost full. Not feeled grind. I more likely feel that it would be good to have a reason to go back. Probably there will be, but man it is so slow.
Why don't you advise pilots to acquire propulsion elements and sensor fragments from killing scavengers at crashed titans? It's far easier right now and you can build up a decent stock.
has any1 tried to use the pulse wave scanner not on THESE Titans... But on the ones crashed on the ground? I'll try that... And see where this leads. Probably nowhere... :D
I have my doubts that those materials will be used for unlocking special modules, like with Guardian tech. It's because titans appear to be motherships of the invading Thargoid fleets. So once the invasion is over they will either be destroyed by us humans, they will escape or crash disabling them. That is, if we win the war. If we lose then I suppose it's game over, man. Either way, if the titans disappear, then the materials go with them making those potential modules unavailable for majority of players which is not a good dev decision. So either the titans are here to stay or those materials will spawn outsite of the motherships (like crashsites).

Too bad its all e can do here, gather resources to be used in future, well, or shoot some turrets that will grow anew in few seconds, or fight that new shuriken like hunters. Ofc everything is looking really good. Good thing they added new ground mission type too.
Now awaiting all the 'titan grind' comments even though there is currently zero reason to collect any of this stuff. Right now it's just something to do while investigating the Titan, and who knows maybe there'll be a CG for the mats to unlock some other piece of gear which everyone can use.
Wow, what a novel game mechanic, Frontier - more grind, perfect, exactly what everyone wanted. Just rename the game to Elite: The Grind at this point...
“we have new materials to grind!” “what will we use them for?” “grind! new grind!” “right, what will the new materials be used for?” “we have new materials to grind! that’s technically an update! this video game is just fine! we have new grind! we have grind! grind! good game!”
Sheesh. This game and its grind to materials. Have more ships and engineered modules than I can store on my fleet carrier. Now more engineered modules and mat grinds for this story line. And more ship builds. Missing the days when only credits were a grind. Done grinding instead of playing. Can’t juggle one more Type 10 cargo through these interfaces just to find a place to hold the modules for another ship part swap out. FDev, if every story advancement needs mats and specialized modules you’ve buried us in them.
I was really excited to go back to the game. Than I see this video. So I know there is acctually nothing new in the game, only another farming cycle. I'll come back when they remember how fun works, and create a decent gameplay loop
I just farmed Meta Alloys at a Barnacle site. Then the interceptor came, lifted up my srv, and stole my stolen meta alloys. :) That was exciting, i liked that!
great. more space farming and grinding. * Chearleaders chearing in the background * Farming & grinding is great if it is to build your own stuff, like bases on planets? But just for selling the stuff you collect, really? And then do what with that money if you already have everything bought? Brain dead game.
I was literally about to boot up the game to visit a titan in my fully engineered AX anaconda that is ready to fight some aliens. Right until it shows me what I need to unlock the new stuff at a technology broker. Fuck no, this game is dead until they remove this grind.
I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way but I think videos like this are the reason games are dying. No point in playing and experiencing the game when someone shows you everything in a video. I miss the days before the internet knew everything. A time when you would enjoy a game and it's discoveries on your own. Made finding things so much more fun not knowing if you're the first. Now you just RUclips it and bam now you know everything about the game. I've actually ruined games for myself by researching the game prior then buy it play it and realize I've already seen all the cool stuff in videos and there's really no reason to play...
there is no right way for someone to interpret the dumbest pile of words they are going to read today content creators do not kill video games. bad game design kills video games unless you think video games are being ruined by people like you, who watch the youtube videos that are ruining the video games
@Neo I suppose so, but still don't you think that watching someone doing something before you and helping you do it. Take something away from the experience as a whole?
@Neo oh absolutely, I'm not refuting that fact. I'm just kinda reminiscing about finding things in a game before the internet was as incorporated as it is now. Finding an Easter egg in a game or beating a game without any outside help just you and the game manual in your room. Just a feeling that I wish some younger gamers could experience. I mean even 20 25 years ago there were strategy guides. Just different in the speed at which information could be obtained. Made discoveries a bit sweeter in my opinion. But there's an argument to be made that allot of modern games, this one included. Would be nearly impossible to play and experience 20 -30 years ago, without information like this being available. So I can see from both sides.
Yet another how to that doesn't show how to. We don't have the Caustic Sink Launcher. Nor do we have the Thargoid Pulse Neutraliser (although that seems easy to unlock). We want to see someone unlock these items without having them on their ship. Showing us how easy it is to hang around when you have a caustic sink launcher isn't much help when we are trying to unlock a Caustic Sink Launcher, without one.
I mean.... the video and description kinda states that it was specifically for the mats that come off the titan, not getting the CSLs and TGPN. As for the CSLs you have to interact with the Caustic Generators. Research limpet for the tissue samples and destroy them for the corrosive mechanisms (recommend having a >3km weapon range). Caustic Shards spawn randomly around the cloud.
@@dracoseraphaz9347 Well yes. My comment was to a degree out of frustration of trying to find a good "how to" on Caustic Sink Launchers such as Exigious used to do. D2E@ hasn't done one on Caustic Sinks. Most of the player base does not have a Caustic Sink and tootling around with a Caustic Sink having not done a video on the Caustic Sink doesn't really help much. Those that have done a Caustic Sink How To, have not done it very well. A lot of tell not show and what they do show, they do with Caustic Sinks already applied.

Why? Nobody said you have to farm the titans.

ive had good luck getting in and then making it back home in the mamba.
Nicely Done D2EA well presented and concise, thx CMDR o7.

Just a few ideas
the aliens will continue to get new ships. the players will not receive any new ships or content updates
I wonder, can these effects be used for simulating planets with high atmospheric pressure in the game?
Fdev outdid himself. Now let's grind materials that MIGHT be needed in the future!
By the way. There is another Material to farm. Caustic Crystals. I have found a single one. just before you enter the Malestorm, still in the Caustic Zone. ED Matrials Helper says (Live only) i just found it when i try to enter the Center.
The caustic generators drop these sometimes, when they explode.
You can hide in the top of the Titans (not the cave/ walls) if you get in there undetected. And the EMP wont affect you there
Don't forget to disable silent running when you start using your laser on the titan!
Interestingly enough the second pulse does usually nothing as u will already be in the center. If you pay close attention neither will the second pulse heat up your ship nor will it slow your ship down.

Can be Titan turret destroyed? If yes, which mats will pop up?
Yes, and none.
Abraision blaster give you more materials per deposit
I was right about people already complaining about 'teh titan grind' even though there's no actual reason to do it yet 😆😆

crash site is high possibility
The more likely scenario is they would retreat 500 - 1000 ly outside of bubble
Has anyone tried to mine the asteroids in there?
Yeah there's no special materials.
So the secret was...there is another material grind 😂
IMO its not a grind if you enjoy it and doing this was the most fun i’ve ever had in elite.
@Raghav102 won't be saying it's fun when you have to spend weeks doing the same grind.
And more grind to come.

General ice asteroids with their general drop, which include Low Temp Diamonds. However there is no core mining, so it is not the best place to mine.

I can't believe they thought an update that brough mothing but at new mat farming was a good idea. Sadly I might be done with fdev
