Highest Mountain?

[Yxklyx]

I have a base at a height of 3700 U and was wondering if I'd be able to see something from the freighter (or frigate). As of yet I can't but I've been building a tall tower...

Also, it's odd that there are no sentinels around even though they are set to Malicious.

At the risk of breaking your dreams, no matter how high the buildings are, they are not visible from the freighters.
This is because the freighters are docked outside the atmosphere and are handled separately inside and outside the planet's atmosphere.
NMS is not that highly realistic.
Of course you can see it from the spacecraft.
Your base at high altitude will be very spectacular.
But be careful. Basically, the base structure must be within a spherical radius of 300U (MAX1000U?)from the base computer.
There are techniques to extend outside the range, but they may not be guaranteed to display or work.

If you are interested, you can pick up the location from the NMS screenshot on my profile page and visit.

As for the sentinels, I am sorry, but I could not guess the meaning.

Perhaps the sentinels have acrophobia? After all, they don't follow you to the top of a building.

I think there's a fauna/sentinel spawn issue on planets with very high mountains,

not always... stand on a planet surface and call in your freighter... it will likely be in the atmosphere... high up but still in...

i was on a planet that had high radiation... when i called in my freighter while i was on the planet surface at my base, it appeared in the atmosphere... when i would teleport or spawn on my freighter, i always heard the suit voice telling me about high radiation... as long as i was inside my freighter, i was safe but if i walked outside on the decking i built, i would take damage...

i eventually called in my freighter while i was in my star ship and it positioned itself outside of the planet atmosphere... now i did not take damage when walking on the decks and no longer heard the suit voice telling me about radiation when i spawned on the freighter...

I once built a base on top of a high peak (I could barely set my base comp on top) and made a platform to build my base on. The sents never came on the platform they just hovered under it
