Wanted to get thoughts on this build: EDSY

4x caustic, 2x heatsink (might cut that to one and add a second shutdown neutralizer in its place for the heart of the maelstrom).

I haven’t fought an Orthrus before, I’m given to understand that they’re slow, unarmed save for their caustic wake, use the Proteus effect to degrade any Guardian modules you carry, and call in other interceptor variants to defend themselves.

I included three enhanced AX multicannons, two enhanced AX missile racks (in the understanding that the latter can be used to stress hearts), and two small thermal vents. Ambient temp should be below 20%. Not sure if Orthrus require the whole heart-at-a-time song-and-dance to take down that other interceptors do, or if it’s just raw damage. I’m also contemplating if a universal limpet controller would be worth it — do we get anything unique by tagging one with a research limpet without killing it?
