Update added more tips, still the only S Tier ship I’ve found 70 hours played.
Some good tips below too.
So this ship is excellent, at first I wasn’t too thrilled about the looks then after flying it found the small size was a big advantage. Being S class makes it more valuable, better modules, huge inventory, no cost to upgrade, all super charged tech slots unlocked.
The Method:
- I have been farming sentinel ships so my exosuit inventory has extra echo locators and inverted mirrors often.
- This was like the 4rth sentinel ship I found so far on this day, the others on another system and salvaged most of them B class models.
- The reason this is unusual was the planet had no dissonance resonators up or they were really very few in hard to find areas, I was about to leave the planet.
- Instead I used an echo locator already in my inventory and it found a harmonic area to start the little process of back and forth to get ship.
- So I come up to it and am like it looks alright, then inspect and am like hell yes.
- Immediately I use another echo locator and it failed, no other places around here. So got into new ship and flew to other side of planet, no other location to be found.
- Looks like there may have only been one location on the entire planet and it has the S class ship.
- Not sure if this is something that happens often, but first time for me. Read that finding S class is a pain usually for the ship you want.
- Definitely adding a ton of modules to this ship, it’s a great fighter.
- Got into some space battles and did good, but one damaged my launch module so ship was critically damaged. So had to learn how to fix a ship that could not be summoned anymore.
- To fix the ship had to find the derelict freighter and get repair kits , this took about 15 minutes to do this little mission. Three repair kits dropped while getting loot on freighter, thought I had to buy them from the vendor in space station with tainted metals.
- I should mention to fix a critically damaged ship that you can no longer summon, you can walk right to it if you have a Freighter ship. I have a B class freighter that hasn’t been used for anything yet, found out all my ships are parked on it, was able to get in it and apply the repair kit. Good to know because earlier in game I found two crashed ships and claimed them not knowing how to even fix.
- I got my first freighter free from saving it from an attack in space right after warping into new area, I believe the very first one you save and then claim will be free. If you don’t like the first one don’t claim it, can shop for better class ship, wished I did that.
- Worth mentioning when finding the harmonic camp, look through the scrap scattered around. You can get repair kits and other useful things from them.
- Was able to fly my new S ship again, so much learning in this game. Thought I would farm a few ships for a couple hours, that turned into like 7 hours all fun.
- Farming sentinels then salvaging most for units will most likely be the way I’ll afford to upgrade and buy a new freighter and my other ships.
- The radiant shards you find on dissonance planets can be put in refiner to make nanites aka the other big currency in game. A stack of 10 (max stack size for a slot) Radiant Shards gives you 500 nanites. Farm them, I farm stacks of 10, open my personal refiner in exosuit and create nanites, close the refiner and go back to farming. The personal refiner will keep doing its thing in the background.
- Radiant shards also fuel most everything in a Sentinel ship so always keep a few stacks for ship.
