While I was at work today, I got to thinking... With the Thargoid incursion and the attack of the Aegis Megaship carrying Guardian technology.

I had a thought of a possible Thargoid build.

So even though I'm speaking out of ignorance as I've never faced off against one, except the scout variety.

Now I do know of the AXI website... and I've been playing with Coriolis.

This particular thought crossed my mind today by watching and studying of certain bugs and fish.

The idea is simply utilizing and focusing on ship speed and a little bit of skill.

This particular build looks good on paper, but as we all very well know... What looks good and what's practical is two totally different outcomes.

Ship: Viper

Core Internals: Military Grade Composite (Heavy Duty Grade 5 & Deep Plating)

3A Power Plant (Overcharged Grade 5 & Monstered)

3A Thrusters (Dirty Grade 5 & Drag Drives)

   VS.

Hydra Thargoid: Hearts: 8 Max Speed: 450 m/s Payout: 60,000,000 Cr

With these statistics a pilot could very well nearly outrun/outmaneuver a Hydra Thargoid but the payout is significant *if a kill is accomplished.

Could this be accomplished, I wonder?
