While encountering sentinel ships can be challenging, it can also provide opportunities for resource gathering and combat practice. Additionally, successfully evading or defeating sentinel ships may earn you valuable rewards and reputation with certain factions.
The first step to fighting Corrupted Sentinels is finding them. To do that, head to the Galaxy Map and search for a system labeled "Dissonant." You'll need a Conflict Scanner to see these Dissonant systems. Once you've found a Dissonant system, warp there and scan each planet for the "Corrupted Sentinels" description.
You can locate one by flying low over the planet's surface or using an Echo Locator that you can obtain by destroying Corrupted Sentinels. These camps will tell you where you can find a crashed Interceptor.
It will also summon Sentinel Interceptors to aid it. The player is able to damage the hull of the freighter and destroy it, causing all nearby interceptors to retreat and rewarding the player with valuable loot, such as the Carrier AI Fragment.
You can salvage those crashed Sentinel Interceptors and make them your own. Sentinel Interceptors offer increased firepower, unique technologies, and more value when salvaged than other crashed ships.
You will see many ships in the entire galaxy, but there are certain types that are difficult to find, and none is more rare than the Squid-shaped ship. In fact, you can play the game for hours upon hours and still not come across one of these exotic spacecrafts.
On the galaxy map, you can see if a system is dissonant or not. Not all systems will have a Sentinel ship though. Dead planets typically only have the corrupted Sentinels and no ship. If you are into fighting the Sentinels in space, the freighters will drop an AI device after you destroy them.
No, the harmonic camps can point to a number of different crash sites (and sometimes they repeat the same set of sites), but the same ship type will be at all of them. So when you find the first one, all others in that star system will look like that one and the only difference will be the class and stats.
Pirate Dreadnought is a type of freighter in No Man's Sky that can be encountered in space at a space battle after warping into a system. Some star systems always spawn a pirate dreadnought when you warp in. This will only happen in 3-star conflict or outlaw systems.
Sentinel Multi-tools have a high damage bonus, a medium mining bonus, and a medium scanner bonus. They are a rare specialisation, can only be obtained from Harmonic Camps in dissonant systems for free, but with many slots damaged.
Using a Transmission Tower is the simplest way to find a Crashed Ship. These towers are POIs located randomly on planets. Inside each tower is a puzzle where you have to enter an access code. This will ping the distress beacon of any nearby Crashed Ship or Crashed Freighter.
Derelict freighters are procedurally generated, with no two interiors the same. It can be forced to appear by using an Emergency Signal Scanner. These devices can be bought from the Scrap Dealer aboard the Space Station (the price increases with each purchase, but resets each day - 5m, 10m, 20m, & caps at 30m).
