hello it's Ricardo and welcome back to Elite dangerous it's all about the caustic clouds
surrounding the maelstroms at the moment and having a decent ship that can survive inside
the cloud to collect all these materials with that I thought I'd take you through my caustic
conda Maelstrom build it can certainly survive in the cloud so let's take a look
yes caustic damage caustic damage and caustic damage oh my God it can give you anxiety it can
give you hell damage module damage lost cargo and end ultimately in destruction how'd you build a
ship that can survive there well one way is to go out and get some materials so you can get a
caustic sync launcher but the iron irony there really is the fact that you've got to survive
inside the cloud to get the caustic mechanisms the chards and all the rest of it so great so all that
is absolutely wonderful but what do you do what do you do once you manage to get in there well
this ship runs particularly cold so I didn't really need that many heat sinks I could fill
them up with caustic sinks to be perfectly honest with you but let's talk a little bit about this
caustic sink so I went to this particular rescue ship that had them and I unlocked them once you
unlock the caustic sink uh you can then buy them with credits called harsh Moolah the cash right
so once you go through the whole palava of getting caustic tissues corrosive mechanisms you're
straight in there you can buy them and fit them out as many as you want now this particular build
I say it runs cold I've got a pulse wave analyzer so I can help helps me pinpoint those caustic
generators bit like what it does for asteroids I've got a couple of heatsink launchers but like
I mentioned didn't really need those because my ship's running cold like about 18 degrees
um and I've got an enhanced Xeno scanner which means I can scan those Critters I'm a
thousand meters away which is great so I'm just transferring a couple of heat sinks or caustic
sinks I should say over from one of those research ships there's my enhanced Xeno scanner you can see
I've got my caustic sinks as well but for the new Commander you haven't got to worry about
those engineer your ship so it runs cold how have some decontamination limp it's have some repair
limpets perhaps a multi limpic controller like what I've got and you're away so like I mentioned
we go into ship controls Frontier have not not at the time of making this video allowed there
to be a key entry assigned for the caustic launcher yes for the standard you know Heat
but not the caustic so I was a bit of a swine going into core internal military grade yes I
could engineer that but I just haven't had it in me to drag this ship halfway across the Galaxy to
get it done I got my power plant running on Lower missions um and I go up to grade four
thermal spread reduces the heat that's one of the best things about the power plant it can reduce
your yep your heat quite considerably in regards to the thrusters again modifications clean Drive
tuning thermal spread downside to this is well because cut down on your speed so if you get
high predicted those faggies are gonna kick up a bit of a stink and catch you up however keep
on boosting that's what I say right perhaps you could tune your power distributor for engines
this is kind of a research ship in optional I've got a universal multi-limpit controller Class 7
in the Anaconda it'll give me a smorgasbord of limpets and everything that I'm really going
to need providing I do remember to put limpets in the cargo hold I've got whole reinforcement
with heavy duty hell reinforcement as far up as I could manage typically about four
or five I've also got anti-corrosive cargo rack um a class 5 for that which gives me 32.
all the way down I got some module reinforcement and I've also got a field maintenance unit
because I have found no matter what I do the cargo hatch is the first thing to go and then
you see your Bounty and your limpets float away in front of you as your health slowly
disintegrates in your eyes so I went right I'm gonna have a small auto field maintenance unit
it's Critters here are responsible for all this corrosive damage these are the caustic generators
you can see when they're going to give out their caustic gift because one of their spiers or
spindles whatever you want to call it will start to Glow green it'll gift it out and you either get
absorbed or you move out of the way there's a real knack to this so one approach you can see my ship
is running at 18 heat Earthly colder than Frosty the Snowman's cold bits but it could be colder and
for that I do have my heat sinks so I'm going to approach I've got my enhanced Xeno scanner
um in the right Port I'm ready to go Gotta Get nice and close within the thousand meters there so
once you're in a thousand meters the little gray Rector will come up on your screen there it is
I'm scanning it like a devil I'm throttling back on the power again I'm very cold it's not alerted
as yet to my presence because it hasn't started glowing red and not like it's going to blow up in
my face with that Limpet docking port controller gets selected and we fire off a research limbit
it's as simple as that somebody said uh on my last video well you didn't show how I did it before
pretty sure I did so for those particular commanders who had missed that that's how
you do it off goes that research limpid it'll chase that cost it generated down all you've
got to do is remain a safe distance away it'll Dock and eventually it'll spew forth
a caustic tissue sample now how did you get all the other stuff well all the stuff
typically has been floating around inside the Maelstrom so you have some collector limpets
floating around with you as well so you can go and pick those up great lovely fantastic
um if not from a distance fire off some ax missiles at it that'll blow those caustic
generators up and then at your leisure you can just float in there nice and smooth nice and silky
let those collect Olympics do their thing now for some materials they'll come straight into
your material bank for the caustic tissues they need caustic resistant cargo storage okay so be
aware of that simple as that the trick here is to run a cold ship and I can't stress that enough
having that cold ship having some armor get that military grade composite the power plant like I
mentioned with low emissions get it engineered up get the thermal spread um special effect on
the end of it experimental effect I and you won't go too wrong the thrusters yeah you know they all
cut down a little bit of heat as well I mean I've only got mine tuned to grade three but
with a thermal spread experimental effect on them as well that's certainly going to cut your heat
down and it should cut down as well how often you're interdicted between your jumping point
and the actual Maelstrom that you're looking at in question again Hull reinforcement very important I
haven't gone for the meta alloy in full reinforced um Hull packages simply because I haven't unlocked
them um there you are complete honesty but one thing I have found invaluable is that Universal
multi limpic controller now a lot of commanders have gone out there and done it in smaller ships
these could be the assault shape or the gunship whatever tickles you fancy really people have
gone in with bigger ships like the cutter or The Anaconda like what I have as well
personal preference I think it's all down to heat if you're not running a cool ship then
you are gonna get vote by the proverbial baggy stick in the shape of these caustic generators
all about the heat all about the heat dissipation making sure you've got some repair limpets on
board a bit of decontamination make sure you've got those research limpets so you can actually
get that material out of it and you shouldn't go wrong who knows what Frontier have got in
store for us in regards to what's going on inside these huge caustic maelstroms only time's gonna
tell and probably update 15 will tell it as well anyway thanks very much for watching this video
on my caustic conda Maelstrom build it'll sort of get you that you'll survive inside that Maelstrom
and hopefully you'll be able to collect those materials and stock up before things get too
crazy out there I've been Ricardo thanks very much for watching I'll see you soon foreign
thank you
