Not a fan of any farming or gameplay which includes "destroy yourself, respawn and repeat". Yes, it's the most effective way and allowed, I know, just saying. Probably will do the same myself. Thanks for the tutorial! Nice to see some of those again, like the good old times :)

There are three new materials in the maelstroms. The Caustic Shards are a Tier 2 manufactured material, Corrosive Mechanisms are a Tier 3 manufactured material, and Caustic Crystals are a Tier 4 manufactured material. Caustic crystals spawn at a much lower rate than the other materials do, and are possibly location based, only being found closer to the center of the maelstrom. More research is necessary.

I only found 2 caustic crystals but my guess is that they spawn when you destroy two caustic generators that are in close proximity to each other in quick succession

Personally I think the best thing is the credits right now. Since there are only 3 maelstroms, the population of AX players in systems is high. This makes taking out interceptors easier. If you’re at a ground base or station, you can pull 100 mil an hour if you have a good fireteam. Personally my biggest issue is these areas glitching out.

Hi D2E Astronomy community. CMDR Symm Mindweaver here. Wanted to comment here on the ship build. I am using a Clipper with a 7E decontamination controller, long range rail guns, and low emission thermal spread PP. Runs under 20% heat by default (no interceptor detection / aggro). Much faster than basalisk. Easily can stay maelstrom by chaining decontam limpets for as long as you have limpets. Commenting to point out strength of 7E decontam limpet for sustain in malestrom. Would also benefit from meta alloy reinforcements because of relation between hull healing and resists. Stole a lot of principles from Void Opal mining with speed and great visibility of clipper.

If you can handle the off-center laser, the Phantom with a similar build is about 48 m/s faster at 591 m/s, though slightly less tanky (10%) in raw hit points, 14 ly more jump range. Probably many ships built this way will work. The extra Chieftain restricted internal bays will compete with the speed or other advantages of alternative ships.

Hmm, my shieldless smuggler/pirate Clipper might be up to the task without modifications. G4 Low Emissions Power Plant for 16% idle heat, Universal Limpet Controller and very fast, like Clippers are. Might just replace the ECM with a Neutraliser. Maybe scanners with extra heat sinks too, since I have leftovers for switching ammo capacity ones to pre-engineered.

So are you leaving off the small Guardian hull reinforcements, and skipping the caustic resistance benefit, because the maelstrom will disable them? You aren’t going near the mega ship at the center, so take them or leave them behind? Probably will test it myself, but I assume others may have the same question. Thx.

Very helpful indeed. I wonder how exactly things will work out. I hope that no matter how much ground we lose within this war, we're going to be able to kill the mothership and therefore disorientate every goid in its swarm. Right now, looking at that "timer-reset-concept" I'm not having high hopes for us winning a clean fight.

I think an Orca would be a better ship for it. It has slightly more hit points, but is a lot faster and has better jump range. The Clipper is also a lot faster than a Chieftain, just beats it on jump range and has the same number of hitpoints.
