A Guide To NMS Sentinels

This is a guide for those Who are worried/wanting to fight/avoid the Huge robotic Alien Race, the Sentinels

Basic Planetary Sentinels

Welcome to the Sentinels Guide, we will be talking about the dreaded(and annoying) Sentinels. First on our list, we have the basic, and weak, Sentinel Drone.This Drone is basic and Easy to defeat, and Through the Star System(in the top right corner, shown by the NMS symbol) will only drop 1-2 on the first 2 Stars. They are easy to kill and take a long period of time to Call other Enemies in.

Sentinel Hounds

This is about the Level 2, and quite different than the usual drones, Sentinel Hounds. The Sentinel Hounds are slow moving, Medium health enemies that spawn on level 3-4 of the Star system and use a phase beam or mining laser to attack. The Damage for it is medium-high and is best to avoid and peek to attack rather than use brute force.This Enemie is reccomended on later planets, not the first planet, and can be killed with the Normal bow caster, but is better killed with more damage or higher shooting(Like a Damage Sigma or a Rapidfire Theta) The Loot they drop is normal, similiar to the normal Sentinels.

Sentinel Walkers

This is the final ground unit( and hardest to beat) Sentinel Walker. This Enemy is can be seen on the final star count(5) and has the highest damage and health. The Walker can only be seen on the highest star rating, and will track and kill the player until killed, unlike the other 2 sentinels, it will not forget about the player and only stay until killed. Making it the hardest to kill enemy

Sentinel Starships

Now, moving on to space, we have the medium health, medium damage, and hard to escape, Sentinel Starships. These ships will immidiately attack the player when summons and will be summoned for breaking Freighters, or attacking othber ships, and Will come in the numbers, 1, 2, 4, 8 and infinite(Depending on the star ratings). The ships can usually be avoided or ignored when only 1 or 2 are present(Best for space pirating) and the ships will attack the player with medium or low damage. But when 4-8 are present You will want to either escape to a space station or a frieghter. if not you will have to fend them off, or die. If you fend them off, the worst of all will be warped in.

Sentinel Battleship

Now, we have the final and most deadly of all the Sentinel Enemies, the sentinel Battleship. This enemy has the power of over 16 Phase cannons and continually spawns in 3-5 Sentinel Starships. This Enemy is unbeatable but can be raided for its loot. It will always spawn in the ships and is best avoided. It will only be spawned when the Star level 5 is reached.

Loot

---Ground enemies will give the Following when killed and raided---:
*Neutrino Modules

Yeah this guide hasn't been updated since around 2017, making it obsolete.

I just escaped from a sentinel battle ship, I don't think it's removed

[Chill]

Sentinel freighter can be rendered essentially harmless if you can eliminate its turrets, but I've yet to find a cap to the number of sentinel fighters it can spawn (Spending around two hours testing this)

[Burning Bubbles]

Oh hmm, must have been readded, thanks for the info!

[The Zanzibarbarian]

Burning Bubbles. It hasn't been removed. I came across one last night after really, really pissing off the Sentinels.

[Burning Bubbles]

The Sentinel battleship Im pretty sure has been removed so don't worry about it.

[The Zanzibarbarian]

Question - Might seem daft, but how do you raid a Sentinel Battleship?
As regard to Sentinel Walkers. When they appear, I jump into my spaceship and tackle them from the air. Much easier and safer than dying on the planet :-))

[VenomDragon]

dont remove your guide, just update it.

[Burning Bubbles]

Yeah guide is out-dated, I will probably remove it.

[VenomDragon]

Walkers spawn on suppresion 4
hounds spawn on supression 3. they dont spawn on level 4
there are Armored drones, spawn on supression level 2, 3 and 4.
(they basicly have armor that must be destroyed before it takes damage)

(i havent gotten to suppresion level 5 yet*
