First one and I actually like it :). Got the scanner from a derelict freighter :).
It's an A class so not to bad, got enough nanites to upgrade it to S.

Interested to see how an S class sentinel ship compares to an S class fighter!
 
Okay so yeah bought an A class freighter, but didn't realise i had some expensive stuff in my freighter storage :( thought I transferred it.
But the new freighter, 4400 ly distance with the same stuff from the old one.
I did remember to take all that tech off at least. The B class freighter was topping out at 2700 across 3 SC slots, the new one the third slot is to far away.

Just wait till you get an S class freighter! Bummer about forgetting some stuff but with this game you'll get it back, especially since you have a TON of money. Can probably buy most things or craft them. I think my S class freighter hyperdrive range is in the mid 3000s but I hardly ever use it to jump, just call it in at times.

I now use my freighter to get places :). But yeah the stuff was from derelict freighters so off I go to try find some S class of those.
I actually ended up selling my old Shuttle now, I've got a sentinel i need to fix up, my fighter, a solar ship and the Explorer

If you lost some salvaged frigate modules in the freighter move then that is a bit painful! I seem to only get C class freighter tech from the derelict freighters but perhaps I've just been unlucky and need to do a few more.

I got a few S class from the expedition. Luckily it was just some space ship ones. Sentinel is now better than the fighter :) plus it can hover

Yeah! That hovering is what I'm after. Must start the search for my own sentinel ship although I do wonder if I can get the stats better than my fighter (utopia speeder from a previous expedition) but can always try and see.

Found a B class one, gonna scrap it.
 
With the upgraded sentinel I've taken down about 4 dreadnaughts never seem to get them to surrender though.
Last battle to save a civilian fleet failed though cause I was in the Explorer as I was doing Explorer things and it's got no guns besides default. Need to up it's storage and put some on, just slap on an infraknife as a backup :).
But that sentinel woo, taken down walkers, quads, the robot guys, dozens of ships, in fact some times 3 in a row as the infra just cuts through them.
My minotaur has taken down a walker but struggled against another robot, but it was being repaired, so I hopped out and fought on foot while it fought automatically as well

My friend managed to get a dreadnaught to surrender and he told me you have to take out their warp capacity first. Google tells me:

"If the warp drives are all destroyed and either of the warp criteria are met (sufficient hull damage/anti-freighter cannons destroyed), the dreadnought will surrender."

Sounds like your sentinel ship is doing the job! I need to find some time to play this again, life getting in the way. I don't like being in the minotaur but it works pretty well as extra back up when it's automated. You do have to keep an eye on it for damage though, as you mentioned.

Yup took out their warp drives, problem is once they can't flee their guns go into overdrive trying to protect themselves, so I took those out and yeah infraknife just sliced through the hull at the same time. So would need to be a bit more cautious :-)

haha sounds like your infraknife is just too lethal now, maybe you need to remove some upgrades mid-battle!

Never it's only 60k dps :-). Not as high as I want cause there are no more supercharged slots. Got my Explorer to 2200ly jumps going to try hunt down X modules to extend it, S class just not working. Same as the infra, if I could just find away to make it more then 3 barrels.

yeah some of the x class modules are amazing but it's a process to find them amongst the crap ones. I go to pirate systems and buy suspicious packets, turn the ones I don't need into nanites by selling back to the upgrades dealer, also check what he has. Jump to the next pirate system and repeat. If you can find good x class hazard protection (the ones that are 10 on all 4 stats) and put them on a supercharged slot, they make a huge difference on extreme planets.
