Thargoid Hunter: Difference between revisions

Since Hunters are able to rapidly degrade Guardian Weaponry (which is also entirely impractical within Maelstrom systems), one must strive to remove the Hunter's shields quickly using conventional laser weaponry, then immediately switch to Multi-cannon fire. The lightning it uses is quite frequent, and since [[Guardian Module Reinforcement Package|Guardian Module Reinforcements]] are useless, it is recommended to stay far away from the vessel if it begins to glow. [[Point Defence Turret|Point Defence Turrets]] are recommended to be placed strategically across your vessel to have full coverage, as their anti-systems missiles can be shot down by this module or pushed off-lock by [[Electronic Countermeasure|ECM]]. However caustic missles will hit your ship anyway, so Caustic Sink Launchers will be useful, despite they're taking away slots from Utility Mounts you can dedicate to more Point Defence or [[Shield Booster|Shield Boosters]]. Rather counterintuitively, it is recommended to fly near Seed Mines within the Maelstrom and kite the Hunter into these, as with its shields down, a Seed Mine can instantly destroy, or seriously damage, an unshielded Hunter. A fast ship is recommended for this tactic in order to dodge getting damaged yourself.
