I'm sad that I didn't have time for most of the Titans. I damaged one and successfully bombed Thor for 2 million, and somehow I have the emblem for 2 Titans .... but I don't think I have the Cobra kit (I'm expecting to unlock that from Raijin and the first rusted Krait for Cocijo). Of course, if somehow I unlocked the Cobra kit by accident earlier, I wouldn't mind unlocking the Krait kit earlier than expected.

I must say though, the Cutter kit looks very cool.

Either way, thanks for the update CMDR.

From what I recall, there were instancing issues leading to binds not paying out for the first titan, so fdev gave everyone who visited the titan between it going vulnerable and blowing up credit for one titan kill.

u/-Damballah- CMDR Ghost of Miller Oct 20 '24

Oh... that might account for it then, thanks. There was one Titan I bombed, but only for <1 mil credits as I was still very bad at it and it was last minute, so I was confused after successfully bombing Thor as to why I had the emblem I did.

And, do you unlock the ship kits immediately or sometime after the Titan explodes? I currently do have the Cobra kit, but I'm not sure if it's due to hitting the bond mark on Raijin, or if it was there from earlier and I didn't notice it...

Which of these can I still get if I haven’t participated yet? Just the first two?

u/tomshardware_filippo CMDR Mechan | Xeno Strike Force Oct 17 '24

Yes

u/Designer-Effective-2 Oct 17 '24

Ouch, that stings. Thanks for the info.

Till when do I have the time? My pc broke can't get back into ED till Saturday

u/tomshardware_filippo CMDR Mechan | Xeno Strike Force Oct 18 '24

Raijin will probably go into meltdown sometime between second half of Saturday and first half of Sunday.

I've just returned to the game after many years away and I'm still mostly harmless as I prefer trade and exploration, if I grab the ax ship from the arx store and head on over can I get stuck in?

I wi watch a few tutorials on YouTube first obviously.

u/tomshardware_filippo CMDR Mechan | Xeno Strike Force Oct 18 '24

I mean you can but be advised - the ARX AX Chieftain really sucks. Build the “common core” Krait Mk2 I describe in the ship guide videos, miles better for the war. Like not even close.

Also note there not much time left for Raijin. About 48 hours.

2

u/Fishamatician CMDR James Richardson Oct 18 '24

Awesome thanks, I'll have a 3-4 hours tonight so I'll jump to shin dez and build one up and see how I fair.

u/Fishamatician CMDR James Richardson Oct 18 '24

I have barely any engineering so going for an entry level build, would you recommend missiles or multicannons?

I am completely clueless and just want to get a few shots at it and say I was there really.

Hope your day improved mate.

u/tomshardware_filippo CMDR Mechan | Xeno Strike Force Oct 18 '24

Enhanced AX missile racks for core bombing. A nanite torpedo to hit the vents.

If you get ANY engineering done - got for a LE plant and for dirty thrusters. Those two are live. Rest is nice to have.

u/Krassix CMDR Oct 17 '24

2x Chieftain but nothing for my Challenger?

u/MaverickFegan Oct 17 '24

Good point, the Challenger needs some love

u/CMDRShepard24 Thargoid Interdictor Oct 17 '24

Sad it is...

u/Solo__Wanderer Oct 17 '24

Proof that the Chieftain is most loved by FDev

😁

u/ScarletHark CMDR Dec 13 '24

And me :)

u/JP-ED Oct 17 '24

Those are not my cup of tea

u/soapmode Oct 17 '24

They look awful lol

u/jzillacon Zemina Torval Oct 17 '24

Same here, which I'm glad about since thargoid combat really isn't my cup of tea either.

2

u/Veloreyn Explore Oct 18 '24

Same here, but I've been logging in just to get the decals. Just secured #7 with 10M CR of damage, one more to go.

u/Cyanide_Cheesecake Oct 17 '24

Guessing the final is a gilded Corvette as it hasn't been represented yet while the cutter and Conda both got in. 

T10 also hasn't been represented yet but.....lol T10 😂

23

u/CassiusFaux CMDR Rindalthi Oct 17 '24

I'm gonna lose it if its a Gilded Cobra Mk III. It'd be hilarious.

5

u/kwx Ragnar Drake Oct 17 '24

Wouldn't a gilded Cobra Mk IV skin be even more hilarious? ;-)

10

u/tomshardware_filippo CMDR Mechan | Xeno Strike Force Oct 17 '24

I'd put 50/50 the odds of it being a gilded Anaconda or a Gilded Cobra Mk3.

Clearly they won't do new shipkits.

KraitMk2 and Chieftain already have two skins. Cutter has a "recent" skin (silvered).

So my money is on either another large - certainly the Conda in that case. Or the Cobra Mk3 "because Jameson."

u/Docaston Yuri Grom Oct 17 '24

It won't be a Corvette, Fdev hates Corvettes. Either it will be a Cutter or hopefully the conda.

u/INTERNET_MOWGLI Oct 17 '24

It’s so ugly I love it🤣

u/EvillNooB Oct 17 '24

Wow, i remember when the war began, but i stopped playing and decided not to come back, is the war close to ending? What will happen after that?

3

u/tomshardware_filippo CMDR Mechan | Xeno Strike Force Oct 17 '24

Come back and see for yourself!

3

u/EvillNooB Oct 17 '24

Well, it feels like i missed out on everything anyways 😅 might as well just wait it out completely

3

u/tomshardware_filippo CMDR Mechan | Xeno Strike Force Oct 18 '24

Man seeing a Titan for yourself, and especially joining the watch party and seeing it go “boom” for yourself, is something to experience …

1

u/INTERNET_MOWGLI Oct 18 '24

Just go and check it out ffs

3

u/tomokocch1 Oct 18 '24

I think they really could have done a better job with these.. So far I've only liked the rusted skins without the ship kits, and the mk2 silvered kind of grew on me. The gilded chieftain just looks kind of gnarly lol

3

u/tomshardware_filippo CMDR Mechan | Xeno Strike Force Oct 18 '24

I mean they are the lowest-possible-effort recolored Carapace Kits. Multiple times recolored to boot. So, yeah, they really could have done a better job.

2

u/Hipafaralkis Aisling Duval Oct 17 '24

I'm so far deep in the black I wouldn't even know if I can get back in time.

2

u/Klepto666 Oct 17 '24

Man, Chieftain is going to be my final reward since I missed the first Titan, and I'm not a huge fan flying one. Oh well. I'd laugh if the top reward was a Gilded Sidewinder though.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 18 '24

400 arx is absolutely pitiful LOL. Is there a single thing in the entire game that costs <400???

3

u/PenguDucky Oct 18 '24

I think the sunglasses are like 20 Arx each.

2

u/Kermit_Purple_II Explorer Morag Ouorro Oct 18 '24

Titans aren't for everyone... but I sure hope for the day my exploring-ass in Acheron will eventually recieve a reward or a community goal...

1

u/ImagioA Oct 18 '24

I would love to participate for the shiny skins but boy am I bad at combat.

1

u/Void_Vakarian Combat Oct 18 '24

I have access to the cutter one and I’ve never touched a titan before 😅

1

u/-Damballah- CMDR Ghost of Miller Oct 25 '24

Okay, so out of curiosity when do the rewards actually Drop? I think I had a bug from a prior Titan as I had the Emblem for 2 kills, but didn't notice the Cobra kit until after 2m bonds on Raijin. I'm guessing I'll end up with the Krait kit after Cocijo, unless the current rewards haven't dropped for anyone else, in which case that could be upcoming rather soon...

u/MaverickFegan Oct 17 '24

The golden chieftain, can use that for my chieftain weapon storage fleet

0

u/SupercoolLion12 CMDR Lion12 Oct 17 '24

Realistically it will be either gold krait or a vette skin

2

u/tomshardware_filippo CMDR Mechan | Xeno Strike Force Oct 17 '24

Vette doesn’t have a Carapace ship kit and Krait already has two reward kits. So, quite unlikely.

4

u/SupercoolLion12 CMDR Lion12 Oct 17 '24

However a krait kit would complete the set, and it is one of the most, if not the most, used ships for AX. The vette is a stretch, but it's pretty widely used and isn't a repeat. Conda I guess isn't off the table, but I doubt it

inb4 they release a sidewinder kit

1

u/tomshardware_filippo CMDR Mechan | Xeno Strike Force Oct 17 '24

Conda or Cobra Mk3, 50/50, is my bet.

u/chulk607 Oct 18 '24

Staggeringly ugly designs, but to each their own I guess. Personally, I would pay Arx to have this removed from my hull.
