The video discusses the Anti-Guardian Zone Resistance modification by Ram Tah in Elite Dangerous, which enhances Guardian modules to offer full damage without any reduction. Ricardo showcases a Python Mark 2 fitted with Shard cannons and other Guardian modifications with this effect, highlighting the importance of balancing power management and heat generation while considering the drawbacks such as heat issues when applying modifications.
In the video, Ricardo discusses the Anti-Guardian Zone Resistance modification by Ram Tah in Elite Dangerous. Initially developed for weapons, this mod has now been extended to all Guardian modules, offering full damage without any reduction. Ricardo showcases a Python Mark 2 fitted with Shard cannons and other Guardian modifications enhanced with the Anti-Guardian Zone Resistance effect. He highlights the importance of Guardian Hull and Module Reinforcement packages, as well as Shield Reinforcements, in maximizing the benefits of this modification.
Ricardo demonstrates the setup of his ship, emphasizing the need to balance power management and heat generation. He opts for traditional power plant and distributor modifications to avoid excessive heat buildup, especially for Titan bombing activities. While the Guardian Power Plant and Distributor can be modified with the Anti-Guardian Zone Resistance, their heat generation may not be suitable for all scenarios. Ricardo also mentions the inability to modify pre-engineered Guardian modules and Guardian Fighters currently.
The video stresses the importance of not over-engineering every component and considering the drawbacks, such as heat issues, when applying modifications. Ricardo advises commanders to engineer heat sinks and costic sinks before pinning the Anti-Guardian Zone Resistance blueprint to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth modifications. He also touches on the lack of additional experimental effects for this blueprint but highlights the convenience of remote engineering for Guardian modules once the blueprint is pinned.
Ricardo then showcases a combat run against a Thargoid using his modified ship, achieving significant damage with the Shard cannons and nanite torpedoes. He notes that the damage output can vary based on player skill and the number of Thargoids present in the area. The video concludes with Ricardo summarizing the benefits and considerations of Guardian module engineering with the Anti-Guardian Zone Resistance modification. He encourages viewers to share their own builds and experiences with Guardian modifications in the comments section. Ricardo signs off, inviting viewers to stay tuned for more Elite Dangerous content.
