Inverted Mirrors For Days

[ld2950]

So I thought I would help out anyone having trouble finding the inverted mirrors. First find a planet with corrupted sentinels 2nd wait for an extreme storm grab your roamer and drive around grabbing radiant shards seems to me now after doing this numerous times that the bot you kill to get them spawns frequently during storms. I have confirmed this on different extreme planets i can grab 10 in about as many minutes of driving and destroying shards. Have Fun :)

Their spawn points are fixed based on their appearance around one of my bases. I have 6 of them within view of the base, and they always are in those same spots, storms or no storms.

Storms just make them easier to see because their glow cuts through the storm.

This is correct.

even better check the autophages that are lying around everywhere. sometimes show up in those in drops of 10.

As long as it helps other players who might be having trouble finding them the more info the better also just an FYI S class sentinel ships can be found in any corrupt system wealth doesn't matter, in fact I am farming an abandoned system right now for the ships because they bring at least for me 40 million and up in credits. :)

Wealth matters for the probability of it being S-Class, same as any other ship (or multi-tool, or freighter) that you are hunting.

I tested this in my game by modding the probability of S-Class to 100%, at which point ALL interceptors were S-class, thus proving that they do use the same variable as the other things.

Hmm I'm in an abandoned system and I have 3 s class and have found numerous of the other 3 classes that I have been selling the next system over. I will play around with wealthy systems and see but this is just my experience. On a side note I have been killing swarms for the locations of the downed ships maybe that is the difference shrugs I have had the Dreadnought AI fragments bug on me several times where the location doesn't show which is why I have been killing the spawns.

Well, abandoned systems have no variable specifically defined for the chance for S-class ships. So it is using some other values as a fallback. Probably a wealth rating we cannot see in game but that is still attached to the system, or even just always the Outlaw rating (which has the best S-class chance).

I prefer shards over mirrors for nanites. Sure, mirrors produce more nanites per object, but you easily get ten shards per one mirror, probably much more. A Minotaur can collect them with its laser from farther than scan range, across a valley or up a mountain. And as a bonus you can also collect any mirrors you find along the way.

Good point possibly the outlaw rating as you said. :)

Honestly, I'm glad we had this discussion, because I wasn't even aware you could FIND the crashed ships in abandoned systems. The echo locators and Dreadnaught AI Fragments have always failed when I tried them there.
It NEVER occurred to me to try fighting waves of the corrupted sentinels to see if I got different results.

I was surprised myself but kill 5 waves of sentinels on planet they will reveal a crash location providing there is one on planet to date only two systems I have been in with corrupted sentinels have they not revealed a crash sight.

How is the Dreadnought AI fragment different from the Echo Locator?

Dreadnaught A.I. Fragments locate the dissonance spikes (crashed interceptors) directly. Sending you straight to one. And if you use them in a dissonant system that has no crash sites, it will point you to a nearby dissonant system on your galaxy map, and then a crash site on a planet when you go to that system.

Echo Locators locate Harmonic Camps and do not function at all if used in a system that has no camps (even if there are crashes in that system). They do not point to another system on the galaxy map if they fail.

Where do you get the Dreadnought things?

Ok, I found this:
https://www.nomansskyresources.com/crafted-products/dreadnought-ai-fragment

The sentinel dreadnoughts drop it. Obviously I haven't destroyed one since that became a thing.

You can also get Dreadnaught AI fragments as rewards from frigate expeditions, but so far they have been very rare for me. I send out 5 expeditions every day on every save and have only gotten like 6 or 7 total across all of the saves.

They only have a chance of dropping from a single combat encounter type, no other encounter categories can drop them, and none of the other combat encounter types can either, which is why they are so rare.
