Guardian FSD and Modules

Posted by u/cold-n-sour[PSA] Location of beacons and Technology Components at Synuefe PX-J c25-8 - for unlocking Guardian FSD Booster
Synuefe PX-J c25-8 is the closest system from the bubble to obtain a module blueprint. The Guardian Structure is located on planet 7A.
It also drops 4 Guardian Technology components from the panels, so 1 re-log is enough to get 24 (21 is needed).
This is the map of the site.
The beacons are lit, so that you know where they are. The pylons with panels that drop the technology components are marked by blue circles, numbers are how many panels with technology components they have. The main purpose of this post is to indicate the location of those. You will also need 21 x Guardial Power Cells, but they are abundant in all the other panels on the site.
Naturally, the site also contains Ancient Obelisks with data, but the data generated is random and is not needed for FSD booster at all.
The whole thing takes 20-30 minutes - land (the best spot is right behind the left border of the picture), deploy SRV, go shoot panels until you have lots of power cells and 12 Tech Components, then get a relic from a top of a special column (there's more than one, they are easy to find), shoot all 6 beacons until charged, drop the relic, scan the machine. You also need to kill all the sentinels that appear. Then re-log and only collect 12 more tech components. Then go buy 8 x HN Shock Mount, and you're all set. Assuming that you already have 24 Focus Crystals.
PS: The moon of this moon (planet 7Aa) has some cool biological stuff, map it if interested.
From Mana:
1.) The lower left large beam of light is where the Relic will need to be dropped off, it wont be lit like that when you get there
2.) The Relics are shot down off of the towers you see top center of the image (there's one above the #2 blue circle)
3.) The Tech Components mats are hiding behind destructible panels throughout the structure
4.) Sentinels will become hostile as you come closer to them, and they will fire a mix of small arms and missiles. These missiles can be ignored if you have active Point Defense utility mounts on TOP of your ship. They will automatically shoot down missiles even when you are in an SRV, as long as your ship is there (fyi in a dolphin, utility slots 2 and 3 are on top)
5.) I tend to park my Dolphin at the Top Right of the picture shown, i've been able to park some oddly shaped ships there just fine and it gives a great vantage point for the Point Defense to shoot down the Sentinel's Missiles
6.) If you aren't confident in your SRV skills, bring two. A double SRV bay is easy to fit in most ships!
7.) Keep and eye on your Fuel and your Ammo. New players won't have materials to synthesize more, so be ready to swap out for your spare SRV
8.) If you plan on getting more than just the Guardian FSD, do the run a few times
9.) You can do this in a wing, and it may be easier for newer players to do this with others!
10.) There are sentinels near each pylon and near the main Structure, I tend to take these out as soon as i can. More will pop up in the center when you start lighting beacons, so be ready!
11.) Turret Cam will DRASTICALLY improve your shooting, make sure you have your control settings set up!
12.) Besides the materials, the only thing that takes up Cargo Hold space you'll need to pick up is the Relic that you shoot down off of the pillars to take to the main structure (and drop the cargo on the button) the rest of the cargo-hold items CAN be brought back to the bubble, but aren't needed for FSD booster
Materials needed for the Guardian FSD Booster:
1x Guardian Module Blueprint Segment
21x Guardian Power Cell
21x Guardian Technology Component
24x Focus Crystals
8x HN Shock Mount
One scan of the 'Orb' gives you one blueprint segment, and different Guardian structures give different types
Guardian Tech Components drop from the circled spots on the map above, and generally take a few passes through to get all the ones you will need for the FSD Booster, so come prepared with either a second SRV or raw materials to synthesize SRV Ammo and Repairs for multiple runs. Re-docking with your ship will refuel the SRV, but does not restock or repair it, so keep a close eye on your Hull and Ammo!
BRING POINT DEFENSE WITH YOU! Mount them on TOP of your ship! This will DRASTICALLY increase your survivablility!
As you come back in, find an HN Shock Mount supplier that is near a Guardian Tech broker:

So you want the other Guardian Modules too?
Just rinse and repeat the above steps! The same site can be used to unlock all the other Guardian Modules, they just require different materials and commodities:
Guardian Hull Reinforcement Package
Increases a ship's hull integrity by a flat value, and also boosts resistance to Thermal and Caustic damage
1 Guardian Module Blueprint Fragment
21 Guardian Sentinel Wreckage Components
16 Pattern Beta Obelisk Data
16 Pattern Gamma Obelisk Data
12 Reinforced Mounting Plate
Guardian Hybrid Power Distributor
Capacitor recharge rates are increased, but additional heat is generated and the capacitors themselves have a lower overall capacity. In addition, the module increases the total power output of any Power Plant or Guardian Hybrid Power Plant by 4%, resulting in 104% total available power.
1 Guardian Module Blueprint Fragment
20 Pattern Alpha Obelisk Data
24 Guardian Power Cell
18 Phase Alloys
6 Heatsink Interlink
Guardian Hybrid Power Plant
Guardian Hybrid Power Plant generates 32% more power, generates 25% more heat, and has 17% more mass.
