so you've got yourself all the way down to the Pleiades system you're engaging
the thargoids and you've soon realized that your ships
not quite up to the task and you're incurring an awful lot of caustic damage
now caustic damage caused by the thyroids is that lovely green goo you
see on the outsides of the ships we've seen it on our own ships we've seen it
on the mega ships we've even seen it on stations when stations have been
attacked but how can you get rid of it once you've got it well do not fear we
are going to deal with getting rid of caustic damage in this video hey it's
Ricardo and welcome back to #EliteDangerous beyond now caustic damage has
been with us for quite a while at least since 2017 but how did you get rid of it
now there are several ways of doing this but one of the first things we're going
to do is we're gonna get ourselves open to them a rope area and we're gonna get
ourselves some decontamination limpets as you can imagine decontamination
limpets are the things that will clear caustic substances off the health of
your ship now if you're in the platy sector there are only several places or
one place really you can really go and get it which is gonna be Alcazar's hope
in fact at the time of doing this video there are only several places where you
can get decontamination limpets so it is really worth well getting yourself
prepared if you get one of those locations that you may need this and
have it in your storage so at least you can ship it down to Alcazar's hope if
you're in that particular section well I'm ready just a short hop away from
Alcazar's hope so I'm gonna get myself over there I'm gonna go and pick up some
decontamination limpet controller and then I gonna get myself some limpets
very important you don't go forgetting your limp it's on this particular
excursion shall we say so you know in that particular area you know me
obsidian orbs or fantastic station as it is however there's no shipyard and no
facility to outfit your ship so I usually use Alcazar's hope
anyway so here we are on approach lovely planet just in orbit of Alcazar's hope
we're gonna get ourselves down there I'm approaching this time on the dark side
so I'm going to use all the infrared functionality that came in the recent
update get ourselves down there pick up those decontamination limpets and then
go and mix it up with some thyroid Scouts so once in station typically all
you need to do is get yourself over to outfitting get yourself put down in the
outfitting area and basically get on with it
start spending some of that hard-earned money now kissing out the ship is going
to be a personal preference to you I'm using ax weapons on mine
ax multi cannons I've got some Guardian shared cannons and plasma launchers as
well I'm not really getting on with those if I have to be totally honest but
either way this is what we're doing so we're gonna get in there we've got I've
got collector limpets I've got recon limpets or Olympic controllers I should
say and I'm also now going to pop in a
decontamination Olympic controller so it's all about the limpets
so with limpets typically what you're gonna have to have as well is cargo
space not like rocking up there with you know eight tons of cargo space and only
having eight and limpets with this on the Challenger that I'm using the
Badgers nuts I've got 32 to 40 tons of cargo space and I'm using up all my
available slots as well so there's a decontamination Olympic controller the
bigger the Olympic controller it is suffice to say the more damage and it's
gonna remove and repair so that's very important to think about when you
consider buying your limpet controller so let's look at that about
them limpets controlled by this model error variant of a standard hell repair
limpet people have not only cleaning off corrosive caustic chemicals from the
shell of the ship but also fixing a little bit of damage but you've got to
stay in a relatively short period of space so I'm going off to go and find
some trouble now with the Fergie's we've got a signal source a nonhuman signal
source here now I've got two standard ships who are up to no good in this
particular area they have they're not going to trouble me though I'm doing a
bit of scanning sipping getting the additional data but it's not long before
the third grade scouts turn up you get the AB nominal wake disruption and rap
they come in and it's down to you then to start getting those ax weapons
Guardian weapons whatever you choose to go and engage those particular ships and
as you can see the thyroid Scouts have come in I'm in combat mode where ax
weapons and my plasma charges are linked even though they turreted though is a
good thing to mention the turrets will auto home on your selected target and
then obviously key presses or trigger presses or mouse clicks even or button
presses let's not forget the consoles will result in you then firing off that
weapon that is on a fire on demand basis so here we go we're going after the
Marauder variant of the scouts they've already fired something at me
which is trying to eat its way through its shields and you can see that
depicted in the icon at the bottom next to the shields and these sort of attacks
really do wear your shields down now I'm engaging as I'm going you can see my I'm
taking a little bit of hull damage as well this is what it's all about
no as I mention I'm not having too much success with these Guardian weapons to
be perfectly honest with you yeah I like me again but I like my quality of life I
like my simplicity but we can see now they're wearing through worn through my
shields I'm starting to incur normal damage they fire another caustic missile
at me as well and I'm going to start really hurting now you can tell me you
got caustic damage because there will be a
mien line just above the shields or just below the shields you'll see it you know
you'll know it when you see it and I'll point it out as soon as I get some now
so again I'm engaging the scouts lots of scouts debris to pick up with my
collector limpets and once the battle is over we'll get a bit of decontamination
on this now I mentioned that decontamination is one of several ways
of getting rid of caustic damage we're using decontamination limpets in this
particular part of the video another way of doing it which will come on to and
I'll demonstrate is super heating your ship using silent running turning off
all the vents so you your ships that's the super cook itself that will also get
rid of caustic damage another way of doing it as well is flying a little bit
too close to a Sun or star in this particular section and as a result of
which that will burn that caustic damage off so these Scouts are proven to be a
little bit troublesome but looking rid of those no problem at all
but if you haven't already done so do me a favor click that like and subscribe
button if you're liking what you see in and also check out the notification icon
on that'll let you know what I'm putting more videos other League dangerous and
other games that I'm currently playing cuz let's face it it's been a little bit
dry on YouTube so here we are then I'll include a little bit of damage now as we
mentioned with the decontamination limpets not only do they repair caustic
damage but even if you haven't got caustic damage they will repair a
limited amount of normal hull damage to your ship now here is a table I got from
elite dangerous fandom and thanks very much to them fighting that that details
the repair capacity how many limpets you can have active and the mass that's
obviously going to affect how your ship performs and the classes as well so it's
very important when you're selecting your decontamination module to think
well what do we actually want to do now as I mentioned I'm also picking up all
the debris and debt rias that's come out from the thyroid Scouts as I've been
battling them and with them down now what I can start to do with my 72% of
hell I can start picking up all those weapon parts with my limpets and then I
can also start doing and decontamination of which there isn't
anything or --ml hell damage but I can repair that and that's the good thing
about it now obviously if you're using the method where you just super cook
your ship you're not gonna appear any hell damage
but something's stopping you after that then getting a hold of these
decontamination limpets and firing one off and let that limpet repair a little
bit of damage that'll allow you to get back into the
fight and you're not always gonna be bouncing around and going back and
landing and going to a station long as you've got a good supplier limpets
you're going to be able to remain I suppose valid in any third grade fight
because if the word valid is anything to do with the Third's because unless
you're winged up it's quite a trial I mean Here I am I lost about 30% of my
help and there was only four Scouts so you know if Scouts are intent on
destroying you they will and as you can see firing off a repair limpet is all
well and good and it has brought my hell up quite considerably nothing stopping
you firing off multiple of these as well but as we know limpets are a finite
thing now I'm bouncing back into another scar going to scout incursion as well
let's see what's going on here it was only two here at the moment so that
should be a pretty quick battle let's just say however again only 76 percent
help I am going to incur some damage how am I going to fix it and here we go
they're firing all sorts of green stuff at me I'm firing green stuff back at
them it's gonna be a little bit of a battle and I enjoy it now as people who
watch my channel know I don't do a hell of a lot of combat anyway and more about
the exploration and the trading I do do combat I have a rank of dangerous which
considering how long I've been playing the game is pretty abysmal really but
additional third grade combat down in this section as well is certainly gonna
help with that rating now there are other things to do as well down the
platy sector you can go and get bio samples from good old professor Palin
that even though his base has been does has been abandoned he
evacuated his base and he's gone off on the Carson spring the Carson Spring has
been attacked all well and good but what it's also happening but he's still
handing out the missions for the biosamples the thyroid bio samples now
as a result of which for that you're gonna need a different type of Olympic
controller a recon Olympic controller and there is a certain method of getting
that biosample without getting your backside handed to you so you know
unreal II enjoying the Scout combat even though I could say I'm not a combat type
of person but with this again they're firing all their whole penetrating
caustic missiles at me you can see again it's been lodged in the bottom of the
screen and that's gonna start incurring me some caustic damage now as we
mentioned the cosmic caustic damage is now detailed by next the percentage of
my hull I've got a different colored bar which is detailing the caustic damage
that is all causing now I've got some collection limpets out there doing their
collecting of all the fair grade stuff but let's face it what am I going to
about this damage is dropping now down to 69% so what shall I do well do not
fear everybody we've got a decontamination limpets we've got
another method as well and that's gonna go out and fix my ship absolutely
brilliant so from the outside we can see the caustic damage on the ship you can
see it it's quintessential green forgiveness smearing itself all over the
ship you know it it's a very sort of fungal like damage when you think about
it very fungal bringing this patch this batch a limpet and we're gonna get that
fixed now here's something to consider when using these methods and the pros
and cons when you think about it using the decontamination limpet is a
no-brainer if you've got the free slots all depends on your personal wealth
prospects if you've picked them up if you can be bothered to go over to the
stations that said on that I've detailed in this video however if you haven't
then you can use the superheated method the superheated method is damaging to
your ship you're gonna have module damage as well you could end up blue
mcCargo all sorts of things so it's probably worthwhile having either a pair
limpets or decontamination limpets if you're gonna go and mix that with the
thyroids just saying anyway I'd be Riccardo thanks for watching hope you've
enjoyed this talking about caustic damage and the thyroids and what's going
on with paid in as well thanks very much and like and subscribe if you haven't
done so catch you see you soon
