Order of Mobius,
Greetings. I just wanted to give a general shout out and good job to everyone that participated in Operation Andronicus.
Everyone I winged with worked well together. Those that knew more helped others out. Thargoids were killed. Considering the amount of people that fly in the known galaxy compared to those noted in the mission as contributing, Mobius seemed to have represented decently.
We adapted as we went and have it down. Until they change it all again, of course. However, we're good for the next phase.
From what I've seen and learned so far, hull heavy is a must. Anaconda is a great ship for thargoid fighting. Fed ships seem to be suited for it. Gunship and Dropship more than the FAS or Corvette.
Imperial fighters seem to work better as they are fast and harder to hit and stay up longer.
My Anaconda loadout is AX missiles in the top large hp's, AX MC's in the med hp's, a flak cannon for the swarm on the bottom large hp, a huge pulse for the shields, and 2 beam turrets with regeneration on the smalls. A bit of fire group management but not a big deal. I have the hull up a touch over 6100.
The other ship I'm using is a Fed Dropship. 2 AX missiles 2 AX MC's and a large beam. Hull is right around 3500.
2 shield cell banks helps a lot. So, 2 extra ammo heat sinks, and 2 scb's. You can fit 2 class 6 on the 'Conda and 2 class 5 on the Dropship. Shields themselves seem personal preference. Prismatics, A's, Bi-Weaves all good. As far as shield boosters, I just kept it with a heavy and reinforced. I'm not sure if going more thermal or kinetic etc. will help.
Again, it seemed everyone from Mobius I bumped into was into it, learned as we went, and have it down pretty well.
My only gripe is that everyone make sure everyone in your wing is back from reload/repairs before you kill the bug. Because I could keep it occupied in the Conda while people went back to Oracle, I am always the last to go back. Three times now while on the way back folks stomped the thargoid. Just... lay off the fire button for 15 seconds until everyone is back.
Looking forward to the next phase.
And, if you are looking to make some nice cash and pick at your Imperial Rank, definitely get down to the Mobius systems. Medicine's are selling great and a lot of delivery missions to close Mobius systems paying well. Let's get rid of that Outbreak state. I fly in Mobius PVE group. Always feel free to say hello.
Fly Safe.
