i can't believe someone so skilled hasn't got keybinds for basic stuff and still does so well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved it! I am just getting into more advanced AX stuff and am LOVING it! So terrifying and so much multi-tasking!
i remember the adrenalin rush, when i did my first REALLY well paid mission in 2016. I had to smuggle something with an adder into another station. I got 15k for that and i felt like i had so many options now. And then years later i see you getting casually 60.000.000cr for that haha
Would you be okay with sharing your keybind and mouse settings? I am trying to understand how to best cold orbit around thargoid using Mouse and Keyboard
At this point I'm gonna ditch using shields, my corvette is my main ship but I might go invest in a Krait instead because it's faster and better at turning. Also lower profile making it harder to hit.
OH MAN, here's a GAME CHANGER FOR COMBAT FOR YOU!!!!: Look in your settings, pro'lly under 'Targeting', there should be something like 'Sub-Target' or *'Select Previous Sub-Target'* and *'Select Next Sub-Target'.* You MUST use at least one! (i only use one coz i don't have enough convenient buttons but then you can just quickly scroll through them, ONCE U HAVE A TARGET SELECTED). It's SO useful!!! In the middle of heated combat, the LAST thing u should be doing is stopping to scroll through panels and lists of text! With this key-bind you can just do it at the touch of a button! Oh and this doesn't work on Thargoids unless they have been scanned fully....and i think they need to be exposed... (the hearts)
hello interesting - at @3:20 you are clearly above 20% heat an hammering the Hydra - why the Hydra not attacking ?? Is this a reloading time of the Hydra?
Basically, once the first heart is destroyed, the lightening phase begins. It takes approximately 50 seconds. During the Lightning Phase, the normal cannon attacks will not be made, so it does not matter if the temperature is not low.
@@cmdr.StefanOS Only after the first heart is destroyed. After the second one, they fire caustic missiles. Also, I watched your video. Since you destroyed the hydra solo, you should have a general idea of what you are doing :)
@@cmdr.StefanOS Please pay close attention to the timing of the interceptor's acceleration. This is just my personal experience, but it seems like the interceptor accelerates at regular intervals. Then, when accelerating, it corrects its trajectory. My method is to match this acceleration with downward thrusters and boosts to avoid attacks, while also attacking the interceptor. I hope this is helpful.
Just... Bravo. This is top tier, clean flying and a great recording to boot! Built a Krait with shard cannons immediately after watching this and it does not disappoint. But Ive got another couple hundred hours of 'goid hunting before I can solo a hydra, let alone get a flawless victory! But wait, how do you have 2 heat sinks with 5 in each??Are those legacy engineered?
I practically quit the game failing to solo kill a Medusa with my cutter. I have to give this shieldless solution a try . Would my Cutter work as a silent runner or do I have to build a Krait?
Isn't there any ship in this damn game that doesn't need to be pointed bridge/cockpit/whatever first at the enemy? No camera control at all and all weapons are hull-targeted? :
I love Elite and I have respect for the achievement but I find the combat ultra boring as it involves following routines at a certain point in time and the target doesn't realize it. Am I wrong?
Shieldless AX ship is actually fairly popular. Shieldless ship has a smaller hit profile and you don't have to worry about your shield recharge sapping all your SYS energy... you need at least a little SYS energy left to deploy heatsink
Except with big ships like Cutter usually AX pilots go shieldless, shield is a hindrance more than a help, AX builds usually go very tight with power and distributor, no shield, more juice, in combat AX weapons need full pips, without shield sys only need some energy for the heat sinks, no need to waste energy recharging shields. And AX combat is not about tanking, it's about avoiding damage with cold orbiting and so on. Plus we go with repair limpets and AFMU's, we don't repair shields, we repair modules and hull if damage happens
@@ZetoBlackproject well, in both normal PVE And PVP having shield (And even more so focusing on it) Is the meta, as otherwise you will leave your internal modules AND weapons exposed to module damage, with Thargoids it's kinda unique situation as you typically want to run as silent as possible, and having shield increases your heat generation, plus thargoid Attacks like the lighting one do abnormal damage to shield, but not actually that much to hull, And the caustic damage even bypasses the shield, And to get rid of if, you either have to have decontamination limpets or overheat your ship to 250+%. And you can do that fastest by firing your weapons while silent running (which also drops your shield). So yeah, as you can see, there's not much to gain by having shield against thargoid interceptor.
@@cmdrHeliaxx Ah, I see. Thank you for the explanation. I'm a new player, haven't even found a Thargoid yet, and my experience in combat is strictly PvE.
@@ZetoBlackproject no prob 😁 Yeah, in PvE shield Is very much Worth it 😃 Thargoids are just really unique experience to fight in Elite, really unlike anything else.
This heat sink is a pre-engineered heat sink that is only available as a special CG reward. I don't think you can get it outside of CG at this time, but it may become available through tech brokers in the future.
Swap the shards for the azimuth engineered plasmas and cut the time down in half they exert so much faster especially with alternating fire. Excellent execution on your part. Are you on KBaM or HOTAS?
You're basically killing the most dangerous thing in the galaxy with a bunch of SPAS-12s, amazing!
6 SPAS-12 with illegal shotgun shell
this is the first time i have ever heard of a no hit in a game like this
No better way to celebrate a successful Hydra kill, with no damage, than a Victory Suicide!.
this man is the flight assist
Achievement unlocked: Can’t touch this!
Defeat a thargoid interceptor without taking any damage.
i can't believe someone so skilled hasn't got keybinds for basic stuff and still does so well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved it!
I am just getting into more advanced AX stuff and am LOVING it! So terrifying and so much multi-tasking!
no shield and FlyAssist off , gg guy
At this point, one day, he'll do no damage Maelstrom speedruns
ye
A literal commercial for Daddy Savlons special Anti Xeno weapons
really amazing work
Bravo master CMDR O7 ! :)
true Elite CMDR
My favourite part was when he shot those shard cannons 1:53

Very well done, CMDR.
Beautiful location for a fight

Pretty dope! How do you manage to target the exerted heart without using the left panel?

@@OldManPaxusYT this was indeed a game changer. Thanks man!
I play in vr and man I can’t begin to imagine how difficult this would be without being able to see the controls (despite muscle memory)
I also like how the kraits have the weapons right there next to you

Yes. These are new heatsinks from Sirius Techbroker
What shit did you put on your ship with such good armor???
I practically quit the game failing to solo kill a Medusa with my cutter. I have to give this shieldless solution a try . Would my Cutter work as a silent runner or do I have to build a Krait?
A shieldless large still has a pretty big hitbox compared to a shieldless medium, and much less maneuverability

Damn, that's crazy skill :D I couldnt take down Hydra even in normally armored ship lol
Wow. Just Wow. And you have no shields. Why? What is the logic behind that?
Keeps your heat signature low.. helps stop Thargoid locking onto you. This guy is ace though eh? ha!
he doesn't need them anyways

one more reason no one mentioned, you can use silent running without worring about loosing your shields, shieldless ships are actually de AX meta
the best pilot in the Galaxy
I wonder if the Krait had that slot the Python has, if people would quit the shieldless builds.
Why should they quit it? No point in having shield in this style of AX combat really, you can always make use of that slot better with something else.
@@cmdrHeliaxx It's just baffling to me that shields can be replaced just like that. Most other games in this genre don't even give you the option.
@@ZetoBlackproject well, in both normal PVE And PVP having shield (And even more so focusing on it) Is the meta, as otherwise you will leave your internal modules AND weapons exposed to module damage, with Thargoids it's kinda unique situation as you typically want to run as silent as possible, and having shield increases your heat generation, plus thargoid Attacks like the lighting one do abnormal damage to shield, but not actually that much to hull, And the caustic damage even bypasses the shield, And to get rid of if, you either have to have decontamination limpets or overheat your ship to 250+%.

What was it in the end?
This was a testament to how fragile the krait I was using was.
awesome play! but how can you have 5 heatsinks in one restock?
This heat sink is a pre-engineered heat sink that is only available as a special CG reward. I don't think you can get it outside of CG at this time, but it may become available through tech brokers in the future.
@@MuQuuu Ah. Got it. Thanks.
Sirius techbroker can make these heatsinks (Kumiho Sky megaship)
@@bluerayser Thanks!
@@bluerayser this deserves more thumbs up

Looks like K+M
Porque ese final después de luchar tanto????
This is the stupidest Hydra I've ever seen. It didn't hit one shot!
Its not stupid....the pilot that made it look like that.
on a side note. i realized the poor anti alaising the game has isn't something I get bcuz bad GPU. apparently other players have it aswell.
It's god awful in this game, no matter the settings.
If you got RTX card, you can make it much better with DLDSR tho
