Class C Sentinel Ships and Multitool every time ???

[Karlosfandango VR]

Hi
I have now done about 4 or 5 corrupted sentinal planets and found the base where can find the sentinel multitool and location of crashed sentinel ship ...but i always find the multitool and ship are class C ...is there a reason why i dont find S class items ?? or A or B class lol
Any help most appreciated

It might depend of the economy of the system you are in, that plus Cs are the most common. The ones I found were Class C also but I know lots of people found As and a few Ss on the first day of this upgrade

It does depend on system economy. It uses the same variable as regular starships, multi-tools and freighters. I tested it myself to confirm that is the case.

C-class are the most likely result, regardless of what type of system you are in, which is why that's what you've been seeing.

Here are the probabilities of S-Class:

Outlaw systems: 5%
High Wealth systems: 2%
Medium Wealth systems: 1%
Low Wealth Systems: 0%

thank you , so nothing im doing wrong then lol .
Will have a look at the economy of the system next time :-)

It is painfully slow. I have many hours in and over 75 sentinel ships checked and zero S-class. A-class is not too hard, but it is the slowest S-class hunting I've done personally (including S-class freighters), and I'm only searching 3 star economy and pirate systems. I know there are some who are on their 4th S-class, but I suspect this is extremely rare, and I wouldn't get your hopes up. Take an A-class if you get one in a ship style you like, bump it to an S-class, and then keep searching if you are determined (or enjoy) searching for a "found" S-class.

On my first and primary save of around 400 minutes, I have found S class everything except freighters and multitools. S class Freighters is just because those are more tedious to farm, especially if you want a certain look. But I found S class multitools the hardest to even encounter in normal play. In fact I've never encountered one during normal play.

I've got 4 so far but that's over, literally, 100's of recovered ships. I just have a LOT of hours to play games, on weekends in particular.

I also have focused only on High Wealth and Outlaw systems. Mostly Outlaw, once I got past the issue I was having where it was always failing in Outlaw systems (which @Galadhlinn has an explanation for in another thread).
Once I got past that issue in Outlaw systems, I almost exclusively have been farming those. 5% is 2 1/2 times higher than 2%....so it just makes sense to me to stick to those odds.

[Karlosfandango VR]

thank you for all your input ...looks like plenty more hours needed lol
I will keep looking ...even an A class will be fine

It's probably faster, to just upgrade your ships...^^ (Of course, I don't know, if this is possible with sentinels.)

[Karlosfandango VR]

good question ..will have look next time on it

[Defektiv]

Yes you can upgrade everything except freighter class now I believe. I've been tempted a few times to upgrade my tool using nanites but ultimately I still want to hold out and get the first one legit. It's a ton of nanites to upgrade anyway, like 50k I think from A to S. But its a cool option to have if you find one you like the look of and want to upgrade it. It's an even better option if you farm for half your irl life and finally find your first S only to have it be some ugly orange pistol or some carp like that, which I'm fully expecting it to be in my case.

I've found one A and one S-class ship on the first planet of that type I landed on in first and second try. On two other planets there were no Harmonic camps whatsoever and killing 5 waves of sentinels showed a message of 'Nothing found', so no crashed interceptors either. On the fourth planet I found only C and B-class ships. One A, one B and two C-class multitools, no S-class yet.

Bear in mind that one Harmonic Camp can point you to several crashed ships in succession, provided you return and query the terminal multiple times in one session. You also have to visit any site it finds, or it will repeatedly show the marker in the same place on repeated interaction. When you break your session by save /reload or quit/launch, the sequence for a given Harmonic Camp starts from the first site it ever directed you to and proceeds from the closest to the farthest until a limit is reached (what is that limit - I don't know). Some camps can find 2 or 3 interceptors, some can 5-6. When you visit a crash site and repeated interaction with Camp's terminal direct you to it more than once in the same session, this is the time to find another camp.... which can be as close as 3kU from one another...

It is best to launch the locator (the thing that finds camps) while standing in one, if you stand outside, you may be pointed back tho the one you visited, which is directly a loss of one locator...

I experienced similar frustrations trying to find Sentinel S class multitools and ships.

I started off searching for only Strong, (3 stars), Economy systems, and then find a Dissonant star system among them. However, I was only ever able to find 1 S class multitool among about 15 planets searched, and no S class ships, although I was able to find A class ships and multitools on every planet, (eventually).

I then switched to Outlaw systems as was able to find 2 S class ships and the S class multitool I wanted, within the first 2-3 Dissonant Outlaw planets searched. If you're searching for Sentinel S class, the Outlaw systems are the way to go.

About to go into Sentinel Territory:

C class Sentinel Ships
and
C class Sentinel Multi-tools

Isn't it possible to upgrade them to their respective highest class at Stations ?
As it is with all other Ships and Multi-tools ?

If you are looking for a black sentinel B class ship my character is currently at one and I don't need it. I also repaired it (not sure if that is tied to player or not)..its this planet in galaxy 250

It is, but some of us like to find them in the wild.
The only advantage of finding them in the wild is that you can see the supercharge slot positions (assuming all supercharge slots are already unlocked). It's mostly just a matter of what you want to spend time on.

I personally prefer spending time hunting for wild S-class, while I do not enjoy 'farming' nanites. Particularly because a lot of the nanite farming methods are tedious as he** on survival+ difficulty due to lower refiner capacity and speed.
