hello it's Ricardo and welcome back to Elite dangerous
update 15 has given us quite an awful lot to think about in regards to what's going
on with the thyroid War and the maelstroms this is your warning this is a spoiler alert
this video is going to be discussing what goes on inside the Maelstrom and the new
materials that you can get from it switch off now if you want to find this out for yourself
hello so thanks for sticking around to see what goes on inside the maelstroms
the introduction of the thyroid pulse wave neutralizer which was obtained by having a
certain amount of recipes in particular having some relics and some items that meant that you
have engaged with the thyroids in the past has managed to get you access inside the Maelstrom
once inside the Maelstrom you've discovered a lovely asteroid field
full of tritium and water and crystals and all that other stuff but mostly tritium and water
and once in there you've seen the mighty Titan the mighty thyroid Titan now this really is
a behemoth of a thyroid Mothership there are interceptors defending it they're a new thyroid
variants called the Hunter the glaive defending it it's got missile points that regenerate it's
got lasers that regenerate and it's generally a hostile environment even by looking at it it
looks like a scene right out of Dante's infernal cross with the end of Battlestar Galactica the Ron
D Moore version and also Independence Day all this you feel has been channeled inside this
part of the Maelstrom but not only that there are new materials to collect and these take the shape
of heat exposure specimens hardened surface fragments and phasing membrane residues and
they're all found around and about on the surface around the entry and exit orifices on the Titan
now these new materials take the form of abrasions or Legions or welts or here's a good word for you
carbuncles that are on the outside Hull or around the membranes which launch the Fighters All Around
the heat vents that open from time to time I have fitted out a little Federation assault ship
don't ask me why it was an assault ship it was a ship I had and it seems small and Nimble enough
I've got it running cold for about 20 to 17 with a little bit of thermal spread as well I've got a
beam laser fitted with long range thermal vent naturally and with this I've also got a mining
laser and an abrasion Blaster fitted as well now you can do this with just a beam laser but I have
found that if you use an abrasion blaster on these welts these Legions these deposits which we're
gonna see you get more materials now I have found that using a beam laser you might get one item of
material per deposit if you use a abrasion blaster on these Legions protrusions whatever you want to
call them then you'll get specifically a lot more right you'll get a hell of a lot more now here we
are look see we're going in now and we can see one of the sad Legions there it is a launch tube
membrane residue and that's going to give you an item I'm Letting Go with the abrasion blaster
I've got my collector limpets ready to collect and as these are materials they take up no cargo
space which is really good yeah and you can see with the abrasion Blaster giving it a good old
blast at those launch tube membrane residues but I am getting between three and four items
per blast if I was using a beam laser you'd get one and you'll be collecting up now phasing
membrane residues which is cool stuff right because you don't know what we're gonna need
to be using those and you generally find these on the exit launch tubes for want of a better word
where the new thyroid Hunters the glaves come out so be careful for them because it starts
glowing and one of these shootout they won't think twice they'll just shoot themselves right into you
okay there's no dramas there at all whatsoever so that's the phasing membrane residues on the actual
Hull or main structure of the Titan you're gonna find Harden service deposits right and and these
will give you the hardened service fragments and they're quite easy to spot because for one they
glow green as you can see at the top of the screen now these really are like stars in the night sky
once you see one then you'll get to see quite a few of them okay um perhaps your night vision on
your ship will also help you out a little bit but keep a lookout for those thyroid Hunter variants
because they're really out there to spoil your day they won't think twice you're just ramming into
you and taking your ship right out so like I said phasing membrane residue around the docking ports
and you can find them by the launch tuned tube membrane residues okay and then you've got the
hardened surface fragments that you can get and just zap them directly off the hull if you find
your ship running a bit hot and you've got your beam laser fitted with thermal vent anywhere on
the actual hell of the Titan you can shoot that and you can reduce your heat now there's one of
those things with the beam laser with the thermal vent that if you miss your target it'll increase
your heat right no problem we get it so be sure hit the main structure of the thyroid tighten
and you'll be fine firing it incidentally at the portals will increase your heat I've also found
so that's a little top tip for you so we're going to move on now to the heat exposure specimens and
these are a bit harder to find because they they're around the heat port on the Titan
now you will be able to tell what the heat vents look like they look like an orifice
there's no other word that looks that describes this really I mean it's a fantastic in-game set
piece that upon occasion at a certain events it will open out it'll perk her up and it will
emit a huge plume of what seems to be heated gas um around these nodules that you can see on the
screen just by the rectal now you will find more Legions and these Legions will give you
heat exposure specimens and I would encourage you to go and pick up as many of them as
you possibly can keep an eye on your heat there's usually turrets around them as well
still pick up as many other materials as you possibly can with your collector
Limpet and use your abrasion Blaster to maximize the amount of materials you get
foreign
I did try it with bigger ships like the Anaconda and I had some success
with that because I managed to get the Anaconda to run cold enough this
Federation assault ship I'm gonna go with a salt chip um it's doing me okay it really is I have
called it the caustic Hunter because it is really good at hunting in that caustic Cloud let's take
a look inside so Carrier Services what have you got and how have I got it configured right well
on this particular ship as you can see I've got my hard points I've got a beam laser overcharged
weapon thermal vent no dramas there right that's gonna cool my ship down no end then I've got the
mining laser which I could use I fitted it just in case and I've got my abrasion Blaster they're
scraping off those carbuncles and gaining all those materials that we mentioned those materials
being the phase membrane residues we saw around the launch tubes where the uh Ships Come plunging
out and then we also have the hardened surface fragments that we scraped off the hull and also
the heat exposure specimens so those are the three that we've currently got at the moment
next up on utility mounts we've got caustic sync launchers and if you haven't got those check out
my video in the notes at the top that talk about how to unlock the caustic sync launcher now this
these things absorb all that caustic damage you're going to incur getting yourself into the Maelstrom
It's Gonna Save your help I got three of those and then I got the thyroid pulse neutralizer this is
what allows you to get through that thyroid pulse wave that's been keeping us at Bay for all this
time and preventing us getting into the higher to the mail strip but now now it's been released
with update 15 we can get access to it also if you want to see how to unlock the thyroid pulse
neutralizer check out my video on the situation that'll be up top and in the description below
now core internals military grade composite I've got a power plant IV I could have a six
I know but I'm just pretty much okay where I am modifications here low emissions and thermal
spread for the experimental effect that keeps me about 20 to 19 perhaps a little bit lower 17 you
know that's where you want to be so when you start using your weapons like your abrasion blaster
you're gonna be okay you're going to be in the clear thrusters right well I went for dirty Drive
tuning right okay and then thermal spread but you don't lose too much with that okay but it's just
enough to reduce your heat below that one level the frame shift drive because you've got to be
able to get about life support 5D right you know I could have had something a bit better than that to
be perfectly honest with you and if I upgrade that power plant to a six which I'm going to do and
then engineer it all up I'll go for an a to give me a bit more time should those pesky thyroids
shoot out my windscreen and I got the distributor ah there you go charge enhanced so all I basically
need got me sensors for a with a long range modification up to grade four and a fuel tank
now optional internals is where it gets handy now I've gone for an anti-corrosion cargo rack
why I like to be prepared in case something pops out nothing's popped out that requires it yet uh
but it's the only class I've ever kind of had on my carrier to fit this ship out in a pinch
so I'm using it anyway but it can be a standard hasn't got to be an anti-corrosion cargo rack it
can be a standard cargo rack then I've got Army module and Hell reinforcements you know with the
hull reinforcements like a lot of it heavy duty hell I haven't got many effects on that really
haven't really found the need and then I've got a repair limbic controller in case things start
to go wrong I've got a collect Olympic controller and I've got a research Limpet controller should
the opportunity present itself which so far it hasn't and another little anti-corrosion thing
for good measure I've got the planetary approach switch which you cannot get rid of but I haven't
got any additional scanner there unfortunately and that bike might being my problem I don't
know but to see how the game progresses that generally is the build of the ship
so that was a quick run through on how to get the new materials off the thyroid Titan
in the maelstroms and for this when I used the Titan that was called taranis my advice to you
is even if you're not into the thyroid stuff try and unlock those modules this is a visual
feat and a spectacle inside Elite dangerous one that we've never seen and I don't think
we're ever likely to see in many other games to be perfectly honest to be fair I have been
thoroughly impressed and the art Department of Frontier development has really outdone
itself I've been Ricardo thanks very much for watching like And subscribe and I'll see you soon
