Type 10 Defender - Surface Base Defence - AX Build - Elite Dangerous
Greetings Commanders,
Welcome to my AX Type 10 Defender build video.
In this video, you will see briefly, how effective she is against Thargoid Scouts and a full fight with a Cyclops interceptor.
This ship build has been made specifically for a Surface Settlement defence role against the Thargoids. Fighting Interceptors 'SOLO' that are using their Swarms is easily achievable with Cyclops, but not recommended with higher class interceptors due to the ships poor speed and no Flak Launcher fitted.
Being able to use the Surface Station for frequent repairs during the fight, and no Swarms to worry about, now means we do not really need AFMU's, Repair Limpets Controllers and Cargo Racks, thus giving us freedom to use these slots for more Armour and/or Module Reinforcements. This now makes it much easier to take on tougher Interceptors. :)
To unlock the Modified Guardian Plasma Chargers, you will need a Mbooni Permit.
You need to get Allied with Azimuth Biotech, head to LHS 1163 and go to the Mega Ship 'Glorious Prospect' and keep taking missions until your allied with A.B.
As soon as you are allied the permit will be available.
Once you have it, go to the Guardian site SYNUEFE EU-Q C21-10 and collect the required materials. Then head to the Mbooni system, land at the Planetary Station called 'Prospects Deep' and unlock the weapon.
NOTE this will only unlock 1 weapon, if you require 4 then multiply the required materials below needed also by 4 etc.
Class 2 version
1 Guardian weapon blueprint fragment
5 Guardian power conduit
5 Guardian sentinel weapon parts
4 Arsenic
2 Power transfer bus
To get the Pre Engineered Heat Sinks, go to the Leesti system and land on the Mega Ship 'Chariot of Rhea'.
You will then need the following materials to unlock.
NOTE this will only unlock 1 Heatsink, if you require 4 then multiply the required materials needed also by 4 etc.
8 Mechanical scrap
6 Niobium
6 Vanadium
5 mechanical components
Currently, you can purchase the Experimental Weapon Stabiliser and the Enhanced Xeno Scanner from any Rescue Ship.
Please enjoy the video.
O7 Commanders. :)

Solid build Daz - Awesome! Love the T-10 haha o7
Nice build.
Wow! Finally the Defender is rehabilitated! It turned out to be a good design. But lately I've been losing interest in Thargoid fights. I have a pessimistic mood. It seems to me that humanity is unable to withstand this attack. Besides, I always liked research more. Distant stars are calling... )))
I am in a good mood after watching the video. My BUTCHER is almost 1 to 1 with yours. Haha!!! ))) The difference is quite insignificant. I also fly it above the surface of the planets, the ship does not fight very well in black space and is quite vulnerable. It is slow, just like all the other big ships. But everything is good and pleasant on the planets. I wanted to add a link to my ship for comparison, but KZread is removing it. (((

While testing, I got Hyperdicted by a Cyclops and managed to fight it off no problem and just tanked the swarm hits, I then got interdicted by another Cyclops and fought that off too. Now at 40% Hull, I got interdicted again, this time by a Basilisk. I knew I wouldn't win another fight with low health so I tried to run. The Basilisk had me Mass Locked and I couldn't jump! Too slow to put any distance between us. Then my FSD failed, at this point I knew I was dead a few moments later BOOM! This is why I have also recommended an option of a Grade 5 Shielded FSD to help escape situations like this. Surface base defending is where this ship excels. But you've still got to traverse space to get to them. 😎
How does it handle fights against the more difficult threats like the basilisk and up?

Sorry for the late reply. She's ok up to Basilisk level. I've never tried to push her higher so I can't comment. 😅
I have a similar idea but using meta alloy hull reinforced - im half way through the grind for mats

@@andyc664 I'm thinking because the weapon convergence is poor on the wing tip hard points, maybe gimbled or turreted AX Multi Cannons on those, Huge beam laser with long range thermal vent and the rest long range shards. What do you think?

I have been working on the Cutter but I've been struggling a bit with the game itself since update 15 dropped. Not being able to re-arm at surface bases, has slowed me down a lot, I don't know if anyone else has come across this bug but I hope it gets fixed soon.🤞 It wasn't an easy ship to configure, and took many different weapon choices to settle on one that worked the best. The ship is ready though and I'm editing a video now. 👍
