Corrupted sentinel planet but no crystals?

[Batabii • Suikoden I&II HD]

Am I in the wrong place? I just discovered a new planet. When I scan it from space, it says "corrupted sentinels", but when I check the discovery page, it says "sentinels: rebellious". It also has giant worms and the "stellar corruption" grey filter. I landed and fought some corrupted sentinels, but didn't see anything else interesting. Do I have to fight a sentinel frigate to unlock the quest? Or can I just explore randomly and find stuff?

EDIT: When I defeat five waves of sentinels, it just says "nothing found" and my level resets to zero. And none of them dropped an "Echo Locator".

Some systems listed as discordant will have the planet but it won't have any of the constructs (crystals on the ground, etc.). It's something like getting the maps - it can lead you to what you're looking for or a different type/area from the same type of map...

Best way I've found to get to one (outside of just hopping systems & checking them, is to take out a sentinel dreadnaught in space. That will give you an AI item that you can click which will mark the nearest system with the right type of planet. Taking the dreadnaught... Focus on it and not it's escort ships (they keep spawning) and stay to 1 side of it so you only have to clear 1 side of guns that shoot you.

Just fly out and shoot the station. That'll start waves of sentinel fighters which then will spawn the big ship. Make sure to have enough stuff to keep your shields up.

Yeah I did that, and I got my first sentinel ship, but it's still really annoying and unintuitive.

I'm still not sure what it wants me to do next. I fought another five waves of corrupt sentinels, and it just pointed me toward another (crappier) ship. Nothing dropped anything rare or useful. I still can't find a multitool or any sentinel tech, and when I tried to move a sentinel cannon package between the crappy one and the good one, it rejects it. But then what's the point, when I can seemingly just craft regular ship parts to use in it?

The combat was different and all, but so far, the rewards don't seem worth it. Just a lot of unnecessary junk. And I swear they reverted the tech breaking back to ridiculous levels. I probably went through 20 wiring looms without even losing any actual health (just shields).

I have experience that systems without stations do not have crash sites with sentinel ships, nor their terminals, even if they have corrupted planets. I also had two on the system.

if you want to find the stations, go kill the machines that drill into the ground with the big mirrors on their head. you will either get a mirror or a scanner drop. I think you can get the scanner/map drop fighting any of the, but the rate is better.
Use one in your inventory to get one of the encampments markers to appear. If there's not one on that planet, it will tell you to open the galaxy map in space and go to the marked system.

What do you mean? I thought EVERY system has a space station, even dead ones.

I got killed like 5 of them and gave up because they didn't seem to give me anything useful (and they're surrounded by enemies). I'll have to try again tomorrow I guess.

No. Not every system has a station.

To quote 'Dad's Army' "They don't like it up em" - stay behind them, blast away from a distance and the only damage is from the spawned interceptors. (Pretty low)

In short you have to look for Dissonance Resonators, they are those tripods mining the ground on corrupted planets.

Breaking them will give you Inverted Mirrors to repair sentinel ships, but also can drop an echo locator that points you to a camp to unlock a sentinel weapon+jetpack.

Nope, Uncharted systems do not have space stations. Abandoned systems do though. You may not have noticed that there is a difference between the two if you aren't one to spend a lot of time going into uncharted systems.

If there's no space station, it's incredibly inconvenient. I don't remember the last time I encountered an uncharted system, if ever.

I've got 28 inverted mirrors and not a single echo locator...

Most systems with a green, blue or red star do not have stations.

Of course, as soon as I say that, I get two of them back to back

Annoyingly enough, my first multi-tool was the worst rank possible, and the second echo locator just pointed to the exact same campsite.

They don't? Then how would I not have noticed? I have every achievement in the game!
