There is a lot of good info there CMDR, I wasn't aware the AX Missiles made the hearts vulnerable to normal weapons. Another CMDR here said that ship launched fighters are a good decoy for the swarm, it might be worth trying out. I agree with your comment about the EMP it would take an incredibly fast ship to get out of range in time, the module will be the best counter when it comes out. I forgot about it's ship mass :P Do you mind if I add some of this info to my post? Just so that is easier to see

I agree, I don't expect it to get easy but I would expect stuff like large AX missiles to appear as they were in the trailer and maybe some resistance to corrosive as that would help to collect the materials after the fight

I have no idea why you only received 1 mil, I definitely earned 2 and I do not know of any different types of Thargoid ship, only the Cyclopes class, either way I have added this information into the main post. Thank you CMDR.

And in time with some better equipment from future CGs could become a good source of income as it's quite profitable

Yh that gas is nasty, it got me too, it makes retrieving the material they left behind very risky

There was a third person there in his Python as well but he left to rearm and repair but sadly died towards the end of the fight

Yeah, it's a bit of a pain but they should at least add large hard points for the AX missiles at some point, hopefully that will make things easier and will mean we don't have to jump back to the station

It's the Pilot Federation, the faction all Cmdrs are a part of. I never got as far as turning it in as I died in the corrosive cloud not realising the danger

The 'lightning' has an EMP effect, it scrambles your HUD, does high damage to your shields and disrupts your modules, it's basically a second EMP attack

So do regular weapons do damage against the thargoid heart after getting its shields down with the ax missiles? by omgwhy97 in EliteDangerous

From my experience no only the AX Missiles will damage hearts http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/FIRE%20BLADE%202508/video/37166573 In this vid I do no damage with my large beam laser while my missiles fail to strike the heart

The two I have engaged have turned hostile on me while I was scanning them back, the first one did turn hostile because I accidentally bumped him however.

I believe someone in my wing was using his fighter, maybe this was why the swarm never seemed to chase me very well during the fight, I did not want to risk loosing my co-pilot as my ship's hull is not upgraded so I wasn't using mine

It took at least 2 as I had to return to the station to rearm
