NerdicusLooking at the Guardian Info (it's new content to me), it seems like quite the grind. Is it worth it and can you do it in a small ship (thinking MkIV Cobra or Viper)?


I have a dbx explorer set up for guardian sites and yes guardian fsd booster is well worth it


I second this. I took a DBX with a shield, fixed beam, and a couple point defense turrets. I'd land at a guardian site, jump out in an SRV, drive a circuit around the guardian site getting all the guardian sentinels to spawn, jump back in my DBX, use the fixed beam to burn them all down, then go back in the srv to gather all the mats and stuff. Only takes a couple hours using the relog method to have all the guardian specific mats for the guardian FSD booster, shield booster, power plant, power distributor, module reinforcement, and hull reinforcement modules. The guardian weapons and fighters take more time. The fighters take the most time to unlock if you want all 3 of them. The guardian weapons are basically only good for anti-xeno combat, that said I have heard there are better options but I haven't done any AX stuff so I wouldn't know. I will say the guardian FSD and shield boosters are probably the 2 most important guardian modules to unlock. Most everything else can be substituted by something better through engineering.

Yup, PDTs are giving hell to those sentinels and, what's more important, to their missiles. I've mounted two PDTs on top slots, landed the ship nearby and missiles had no chance to live a second after launch.

have unlocked all guardians stuff so far and can tell that the weapons are not sooo bad at normal combat, the fixed gauss cannons i had in use in differenct conflict zones, working pretty.
the fixed ones are the much better weapons but they have all hugh power consumption and the heat is going high fast, a beam with termal vent fix that prob.. for often or combinant use.
a weapon focused energy distributor is good for combat optimisation too. the fighters looking realy nice and it´s fun to fly with them, hell yeaah they have plasma, gauss and shared canons. the plasma and shared weapons are doing there job at normal combat fine too, just try them out, it´s a bit like balancing energy and heat consumption and having a good result at all

Roger and thanks to both (Hawk and Hoffman), as you've sold me on this path. Now just need to keep the grinding to get where I need to be...

As many commanders know, the toast of Dark wheel is a riddle and first step to find Raxxla. So it seems like, the Dark wheel well know where the Raxxla is. But I think that quest to find Raxxla is just entry test to Dark wheel society, nothing more. If you find Raxxla, you receive invitation to the Dark Wheel. Also Salome knew where Raxxla is and this is the reason why she was member of Dark wheel. So the Dark wheel is what we should focus on. Raxxla itself isnt to much important.

'Raxxla' is a codename for a new experimental Hauler MK2.

Hugues De PayensHas the auto launch feature been deliberately fubared or is it just me? I can barely leave any station using it without bouncing off the walls or all around, but not through the mail slot. I can, of course, do it it manually and do, but the Advanced Docking Computer is a feature I paid for, it would be nice if it worked.


Auto launch is completely fubared after U11 (or U11.1). Launching without shields is very dangerous.
