ELITE: DANGEROUS. Krait Phantom, beam lasers & imperial hammers.

Trying to use the imperial hammers with this ship, the Krait Phantom, one of the most good looking ships in the game, especially with the kit.
At first I tried all hammers, but even though I have engineered the ship to be as cold as possible (PP G5 low emissions and thrusters G5 clean with thermal spread as exp on both), and after got rid of the shields because the low emissions engineering lowers the power capacity, and had to engineer the armor and hull reinforcements, the ship still gets too much heat.
So then I tried with one size 3 beam laser with thermal vent, and still the ship overheated very quickly, but it wasn't that bad.
Finally I changed another imperial hammer for another size 3 beam laser with thermal vent and the ship performs really well regarding the heat, although is not the best build to fight big high ranked guys, high ranked wings, or get into a pirate activity signal 7, unless you are a better pilot than me which is not very difficult to be honest.
The imperial hammers are both engineered to G5 high ammo capacity, and exp super penetrator, but I am going to try with exp feedback cascade to cut the shield cells.

I like the weapon setup. Get your beams overcharged with thermal vent experimental. And the hammers efficient weapon with one super penitrator effect and the other cascade effect

[@The-Man-On-The-Mountain]

Yeah, I tried one with the cascade effect, but only one is not enough for the corvettes or condas cells. With two, a couple of rounds can cut them. The beams are engineered as you say. Right now I am not sure if efficient or overcharged, but I'd swear that to overcharged.
Maybe I'll try turrets for the beams, because they have got much less jitter I think, and I am more interested in the thermal vent effect than the damage. Although the power distributor draw can be a problem, because not turreted, you just shoot when you want so you can recharge the pips.
Also, I could try with 2 size 2 beams, instead of the current two size 3. Maybe the thermal vent effect is still good and the pips draw would be much less...
Anyway, thanks for the comment! 🙂

Splendid fighting, Commander! I don’t think I’d be able to get out alive on that fight

[@The-Man-On-The-Mountain]

Nah, keep in mind that this is PvE. Against NPCs you can be absolutely OP with engineering. It doesn't require advanced skills or strategy. Also, big ships are easy to hit. The most tough ones are often NPC elite FDL in pirate signals grade 7, because that ship is fast, it's medium size, it's agile, and elite NPCs there have got enginnered modules and weapons and use lots of FA-off.
But thanks for your comment!

the kit looks pretty cool, I want it so badly in my Phantom

[@The-Man-On-The-Mountain]

I don't want to support Frontier anymore, after their attitude and their Odyssey disaster. I am on console and I can't even port my account, ranks, and character to PC. Too many broken promises, too much disrespect, never listening to the fans, banning people just for making simple genuine questions, not lack but total absence of communication...
I have spent, only God knows how much money on cosmetics, especially because I think that most of the ships in this game are atrociously ugly.
A game that I love, Horizons (even with all its flaws, but its good things are reeeeaaally really good), but a company that seems to not give a single fk for us.
But yeah, besides the unsolicited rant, the kit is really cool 😂

I know you no longer wish to support FDev, but at the moment there is a free transfer to Pc for Console players. They’ll get to retain all cosmetics and such :D

[@TroyBrophy]

Nice flying. This is a great reminder to me as to why I'm still ranked "Harmless" after years of playing...I find the process of combat to be tedious.

[@The-Man-On-The-Mountain]

Well, there are many, many possibilities at PvE due to the many different builds you can make. That can provide hundreds of hours of fun. The problem, as always, is the grind.
But there is another problem: after you try everything, even the meme builds I make, you get absolutely bored because it's always the same ships and the same behaviours. I guess that PvP is more fun, but I never tried because I am on console and I refuse to pay twice for the internet. To me it's a complete scam.
So yeah, I am not playing anymore because I can't afford a PC, and this game is dead on consoles, because there is no more content. There's no point on playing it.
Sadly, they are focusing on combat, which is something that ED does extremely well. Maybe it's the best at it. But hardcore explorers like me (and maybe you), are abandoned. The stellar forge is abandoned, and there is no planet tech development, as well as more things to explore and to find.
It's all about combat, or fps, in a narrative that at least half of the players don't find interesting.
I hope things change in the future.

Right on 👍

Buena pelea comandante, hace poco me monte una krait mk2 y estoy ingenierizandola.
En una de tus respuestas ley una build que me gustaría probar, la que mencionas de torretas láser en vez de fijos aunque quizá voy a por gimball en vez de torreta. Eso sí me falta desbloquear los martillos imperiales.

[@The-Man-On-The-Mountain]

Sí, gimbal mejor que torretas. Yo las he probado y no me gustan nada. Las ventajas que tienen no compensan las desventajas, en mi opinión.
La verdad es que los martillos molan bastante. Solo por eso merece la pena desbloquearlos, aunque siempre es un rollo lo de esperar un mes.
Dale caña a la ingeniería de la MK 2, ¡es una nave cojonuda!
Gracias comandante!

[@OldManPaxusYT]

Woah!... That was a hell of a thing! Hehehe, i don't even know _what_ those weapons are! ← Comment for algorithm + 👍 'd

[@The-Man-On-The-Mountain]

The hammers are a Power Play weapon. I like them a lot.
By the way, thanks a lot for commenting. I just upload these videos for entertainment, not youtuber aspirations or something, but anyway, thanks a lot just for passing by a and watching. No even need to click thumbs up. If people enjoyed the video or I could help a bit, I am more than happy.
