NerdicusThank You and very much appreciated. Cargo, 4 or 8 ok? Oh, and currently I'm only running Horizon's myself. Want to get the feel of the game again before I try to tackle Odessey...

Only 1 key per fighter unlock... so at max only need 3 tons of space.... I did one unlock at a time because the guardian bubble is a lot like the human bubble, there are tons of solar systems with multiple sites in every direction you turn. I bookmarked a few different Beacon sites, a few different Ruins sites and a few different Vessel structures..... Different places had different map layouts, different terrane, some were daytime, some were nighttime.... You really not sure what you gonna get when you get there, and at night some of those locations are outright scarry as hell cause Guardian sites kind of have that cemetery mist thing happening, radiation or whatever it is. Some of the sites I went to I wouldn't even drop my landing gear after looking around... like 'oh hell nah! I'm out!!!' I went to the guardian sites with half/knowledge, I find it's the best way to Play Elite.... So much more fun when you don't know everything.

things to know...
you will be attacked... Your 'Point Defense' on your ship is always active so park it close by.... you will most likely need to re-arm and repair the first run so make sure you have the mats for that..... There is a human station by their bubble if you like having a home-base for doing multiple runs..... you will need to do all 3 runs if you are going for each of the fighters (Ruins (there are some Obilisk at structure sites, but not enough), Beacon, then lastly the Structure)... Umm, think that's about it, the rest is about the experience. A lot of ruins have structures close by, but I haven't figured out how to tell which structure is which type yet, every map I have been to has been different so far.

KurakilI've been doing Guardian stuff in Odyssey. I've never even seen their missiles, just their regular blasters. I have PDTs on my ship but they have never had to fire even 1 round.

Oh you got lucky, my first run they flipped my SRV 3 times, and I kept running in directions that was triggering more of them cause I didn't know the map... I must have had like 8 of them on my ass at once (I guess like fishing (or men), it was probably only 3-4, but it felt like 8 of them)... even when I jumped back in my ship to re-group they kept shooting..... even at almost 2k in the sky I thought I would be safe so I turned my ship around to look for a different place to park... they STILL firing missiles at me...... ferocious little bastids!

By the way... if you looked at any of the old vids... they mention needing to solve the puzzles... you don't have to do that anymore (I don't think). I spent way too much time memorizing what each shape on the different Obelisk meant, then making sure I only had a casket and orb in my srv or whatever combo was... waiting for a message from Ram Tah, thinking I'm doing things wrong when it never came....... I think they completely did away with the puzzle aspect of the obelisk. Now you just scanning and shooting things like gathering any other mats. you still have to scan the obelisk, but you can ignore the glyphs.

Hmmm... For some unknown (unknown? it's full of bugs!) reason I thought it's bugged in Odyssey, so switched to Horizons to farm them.

NerdicusMight be a dumb question, but do you need a cargo hold for Guardian missions, and if so what's needed?

Thank you in advance...
CMDR Nerdicus


What do you mean with „Guardian missions“? Some tech unlock as proposed, or those missions offered by Ram Tah (or something completely different)?

In case you are referring to the Ram Tah missions, only did the first one a long time ago, there is a walkthrough available at the Canonn page (there is no cargo rack required, but having one makes life much easier):

There is also a second mission (16t corrosion resistant cargo rack required):

Maybe their missiles wont work if you go on foot and then go back to SRV? Last time i met a sentinel was during the Hesperus search and i remember having my rear shot at by both of their measures.

I'm going to find a new guardian site soon so i'll let you guys know :p

Me neither. Haven’t done guardians since update 9 so could have been fixed but before that sentinels just never fired missiles. I eventually left the srv behind and took them out on foot for shits n giggles.

Does anyone even bother with power play these days? Once you get whatever special items you want I don't really see a reason aside from roleplay.

MeowersYup, point defence turrets are annihilating their missiles in a second after start. And their cannons are laughable. I'd installed two turrets on my both top slots (make sure you use top slots for maximum coverage), landed nearby, and it was an easy ride: ship's frontal lights were immensely helpful as well.

That's antiinfantry drones, guess what is antitech ones?

There are still the various Powerplay Communities doing their things. No idea personally just how much each is invested, solely doing BGS here.

I barely have the interest to join PowerPlay for the special items, let alone for PowerPlay itself.

FDev should make bananas as a special commodity, sold in Silverbacks' home system.
