Vanilla X3TC 3.3, no mods/scripts.
This is a very nice ship with which to build remote infrastructure with. For the class you get more command options that help increase survivability as well as the most cargo space for the speed and shielding it has. also the hangar slots allow for shuttling M3s and smaller around with if you need to is quite handy. Trading, fueling, mining, cargo transfer, fightercraft shuttling, it can almost do it all.. the only thing it really can't do too well is combat... but thats why you have big engines and a jumpdrive on this thing.

This ship is meant to be armed with plasma beam cannons and shockwave generators.

hi there, no the X4 map didnt push the site over the edge, its just we had some heavy usage during the past few months. I havent made Patreon page, I prefer donation as it feels (to me) that allows people to donate if they wish (no pressure). Im sure Patreon works for some although. I did wonder in the past about ditching ads together but having something like Patreon to cover the running costs, as im sure people would prefer no ads on here. btw, thank-you very much!

Thanks for this update. I've been using the x4 map while playing and was wondering if the bandwidth from that kind of use pushed you over the edge as its obviously a dynamic map. Do you have a Patreon or similar for contributions?

The king of m6s. If you get this on the poisoned paranid start, believe it or not you can actually get the speed up to 320 ms.

An amazing ship, that you may want to use your pandora crates on. It will probably benefit from them more than any other ship.

Fire one more volley in his path to force him to dodge again. Once you are around 1.5 to 2km in range of him, aim slightly ahead in his predicted path and NOW YOU MAY CHARGE! Once you fire off the charged shot (ideally hitting with all 10 IonC blobs) pitch upwards while strafing up to avoid collision and fire your tornadoes/hornets as you pass over the M2! 2-3 volleys should take out most Shieldless Capitols. One thing of note about the Thresher's missiles in conjunction with its geometry: Because the Thresher is so slim, it's missiles spawn WAY below it, almost an entire ship's length. This, combined with its slightly concave shape from the bottom, means that while passing over another ship at half a ship's length (I think 100-250m), your missiles will spawn ON TOP of the other ship! Rendering any missile defense completely moot.
As you fly away your 4 rear mounted Cigs should finish him off if hes not dead already.
No time to celebrate though! Your shields--where'd they go?--are at 10 %! Hit that turbo boost to outrun the hostile ordinance and jump out!
Well that was fun. Enter another M2/M7/M6 to continue chipping away while Thresher's shields regen, while also snatching any loot you may want. You can vary this strafing method by playing with wing escorts, having them fire missiles instead of you. Drop drones, laser towers, etc, to distract the Capitol ship's fire. Eject last minute as your ship collides with them. Get creative with it.
That's how you do it. Could you have just auto piloted your Tyr, Phoenix or Boreas to kill the ships while you went to grab pizza rolls? Absolutely, that would have been 10x easier. We don't want easy though, if we did, we wouldnt be flying Thresher, solo into a Xenon sector, now would we.

After selecting it as a tracking target, hit display on right or left screen so you can track its distance from you while selecting other targets. Being that we're across the sector from the hostiles, the AI should break formation and will send fighters at us in bite sized chunks. Use the sector map to rapidly click the nearest fighters and fire wasps/hurricanes, and/or command your escort to attack fighters. After a after launching a dozen or so missiles our K/Akuma/Q/Brigantine should be about 10km away. The IonCs will be in range at 5km, but DONT CHARGE YET, instead fire an uncharged volley, the M2 will be forced to strafe or dodge.

Method: Enter the hostile sector with the Thresher. If you scouted and they are camping at the nearest gate, you want to jump to the opposite side of the sector, because if you enter with M2s and M7s immediately firing on you point blank, you're dead. Since our Thresher is a glass cannon, we HAVE to get the first hit, or at worst trade simultaneous blows. Pick a Capitol target, such as a Xenon J, Akuma, Brigantine. We are going to do a single bombing strafe then jump in sector or one sector over in a tactical retreat. When you head towards the capitol, if hostile, they will turn towards you. We are going to play chicken.
