What do you do about sentinels and authority ships?

[Arndell]

If the galactic authority starts chasing you down ( simply because you were caught gathering materials ofc...) They never stop when in space.

If you fight them off, they simply call reinforcements, if you don't fight them off they simply chase you forever with faster ships than you.

I tried blowing a hole in a large asteroid and carefully tunneling through it and parking my ship to hide, but sadly the AI does not view asteroids as existing, their ships phase through them and they shoot the asteroid apart as if it was not even there.

So far the only possible solution I have found to get the galactic authority to leave me alone once I have their attention is to head to the nearest planet (sometimes 15-20 mins of slow base thruster speed as warp is disabled in combat) and I dig a hole, rebuild the ground above me and wait.

[Arndell]

Digging a hole does not work if you have 2 stars either, the sentinels on the planet just rub the ground above you and never stop, they know you are there.

I also tried making them follow me into a tunnel, then buried them in it and flew many miles away in my ship, but more spawned.


So now the only solution to get the authority off your back is you enter and exit your ship then reload the game?

This simply can't be right, is it bugged out and not working properly or is it a massive oversight?

If you can't do the time don't do that crime. Fugitives are supposed to never feel relief.

Easiest way to get away imo once you get a couple stars, is to hop in your ship and stay in the atmosphere but fly a little ways away, they cant find you and just give up

Not sure if it's sarcastic or not :P

The "crime" is simply gathering materials, considering that act is the entire game it's an annoying mechanic that once a sentinel comes you must stop and leave.

There must be a way to lower the wanted level.

You can't run
You can't hide
You can't fight them as it just makes more come.

Is the only option to let yourself get killed? Or the reload I already mentioned?


And it's not possible that it's intended to be played that way from the moment you get scanned because simple things like scanning and warp drive are disabled, having those things disabled until you die can't be right.

That might work with sentinels, even if burying them or myself still means they find me, not tried it yet.

But what about the space ships that attack you if you go too high? they are completely relentless, what actions are supposed to be taken with them?

Destroy them......Or go to planet and you will outrun/manuver them. Watch for the question marks means they do not have line of sight. When you get that stop and wait see where they are moving to and go the other way. Not sure what in orbit you are doing short of attacking the station or frieghter.

[Fabian]

I usually just run and get some distance with melee boost after some time they lose line of sight and stop chasing me. But i only had three stars so far.

[WarMachine]

Back to grinding them for nanites...

Once you got the spaceships after you, you're pretty much screwed. Got rid of them once before by flying back to the planet killing them, landing, and then hide like a little betch.
If you're in space I did notice after you kill them you can use the pulse drive, just need to be fast enough before the reinforcements arrive. I never done this but I did notice it was available, could be worth a try.

[Ireallyambert]

Yes the starships are pretty relentless. I don't know if you can outrun them - certainly my first attempt was a fail but I didn't have any drive upgrades.

I ended up running for half a friggin hour back to the space station with the sobs occiasonally making it close it enough to me to pop off a few shots, and yes I tried hiding in asteroids too, to no effect. First thing I did when I finally made it to safety was blow my remaining nanites on drive modules, I don't want to get caught like that again, don't know if it will work.

But I did pass up the chance to pop into some passing neutral freighters on the way, which might be the way to hide in deep space - next time this is what I will do if I can't get enough of a lead to engage pulse jump. Worked for pre update pirates anyway.

And what do you have to do to avoid the escalation in the first place? Thinking it would be like pre-update I bithely shot down a sentinel, thinking I'd nailed it fast enough to avoid it calling for help, but the bastards turned up anyway. I was a two star wanted sentinel murderer before I knew what was happening.

[Nova]

If you're fast enough, It's possible to outrun them, by killing the current ships in pursuit, then pulse driving into a random direction before reinforcments arrive, It's a pain to pull of but I've done it once before.

[Tiniturtle]

i had to hold my shift button for 20 min just to fly away from those stupid authority ship
the only way i find out to get away from them is to dock in a space station
this is wrong ♥♥♥♥♥♥ wrong
they send in 1 authority ship to chase me and it block my warpdrive yes i can understand that but after i blow it up my warpdrive still get dirrupted by somekind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ god and i have to wait 30 sec then their renforcement just pop down on my ass again with more ship that is wrong
we should able to start our warp engin once we destroy their nearby ship that chase us
and holding shift button for 20 min just to run away and lucky i still near a space station is boring as ♥♥♥
i even fall asleep 2 time and just wake up becos i lose my hand over my shift and get shot in the ass

u cant pulse drive even after u kill authority nearby ship
their god still disrupted ur engin

[lefty1117]

if you board your freighter they will go away. but yeah it's annoying the waves don't stop otherwise as far as I can tells

[Double]

Was hoping to see something about this in the latest patch notes but it looks like they left Sentinels alone. It's definitely a broken system IMO.
