The Proteus Wave is nearing completion, so all available AX ships have been pressed into service - including my Clipper, Dragonfire, which was undergoing maintenance after the last round of fighting. While clearing out Interceptors near the INV Audacious Dream, I suddenly find myself face-to-flower with the most dangerous Interceptor the Thargoids have fielded to date - a Hydra.

I had intended for this video to be released prior to the launch of Update 13, but unfortunately Davinci Resolve's latest update caused me a ton of issues. Apologies in advance for any mistakes / oddities in the video!

Dragonfire AX Clipper Build:
https://edsy.org/s/vMPxI3c

Based on further testing, I modified the build to include a third Modified Guardian Plasma Charger that I reserve for sniping hearts. It's a much more reliable build and I am actively working on new tactics surrounding this loadout - some of which I discuss in the video with Future Me.

PC Specs:

MSI GT75 Titan 8SF gaming laptop configured as follows:

Intel i7-8750H @ 2.20 GHz
NVIDIA RTX 2070
32 GB DDR4 RAM
A Pair of M.2 SSDs in RAID (512 GB in total)
A 1 TB storage SSD

With Elite on the M.2s and with the latest update (Update 12), there are few changes from Update 11. I get anywhere between ~30-80 FPS on the ground in Odyssey @ 1080p, depending on location and NPC density. Typically the game hovers around the lower end of that range and tends to vary a bit as I look around.

I've also noticed that my FPS in a space CZ is closer to 60-80 FPS with occasional drops down as low as the mid 30s as of late. AX CZs are seemingly worse for reasons I cannot explain, though I've noticed Windows has been acting up lately too...

I try to keep the FPS counter at the bottom left of the screen on at all times to give you an idea of what level of performance my PC can accomplish.
