Frontier weren’t kidding around when they said they were fed up with players using cold orbit and other cheesing tactics to fight xenoes . Damned Glaive is a bloody nightmare as it can face tank you and very likely blow out you canopy. Worst part is the Glaive is a variant of the Hunter class so more variants are likely incoming.
It is a pain yes... but for now whit a good hull you can face tank him long anof... but if they would start to spawn in group like scouts then it's a different ball game...
Well fought! The Hunter arrogantly trying to show off by tanking you head on was his downfall^^ I wonder if another medium ship with 3 large MCs would do even better. But can i ask a favor? Your intro.. that loud eagle noice scares the living shit out of my cats every time. Can you use another sound that isn't so high pitched?
I killed a glaive with 2 gimbaled Class 3 EAXMC's on my Clipper. I had an abrasion blaster and a LR TV Beam on the Class 2's that I didn't use. Fight was Sub-optimal and he popped my canopy but I still made it away with 60% hull remaining, so it's Do-Able, but I'd have fared much better if I was all guns.
I got ambushed by 2 glaives and I thought its easy peezy, I tried to run off but they where fast and their missles fast.... Tried to fight them with Gauss cannons but they damaged it already
To escape them, you need to go silent running as soon as they interdict you, then boost away and keep boosting until you can jump for safety. Even then, they might still get you, but I have always managed to escape the glaives if I wanted to this way.

@@Grimulas I've had two together a few times. The T10 splattered them though.

Oh and sorry for the living shit thing 😅

Yep... there fast i think they can go about 650 m/s and those missile do that to... you need a race ship to out run them 😄

@@Grimulas I'm not sure that you can outrun them. The pwned me in a 750+ courier build, which was silent and dumping heat sinks.
Yeah it is above 800 m/s i think... that's a viper racing ship speed 🙂
@@Grimulas Man, my Courier was about as light a possible while carrying the required maelstrom equipment. 800+ really is bare bones territory.
