I apologize if this is a question asked a million times before and if I should delete the post just let me know where to ask my question. I searched and looked around and couldn’t find a proper place but reddit isn’t the best place to search things.

I am not a brand brand new player (around 80 hours) but still have a lot to go in a lot of things in the game. One thing that already puzzled me in my first playthrough and it’s doing so again is sentinels. The first time around I mostly just avoided anything that has to do with them but now I am trying to explore the game a bit more.

• How do you deal with these things? If I get targeted by them I just get swarmed with endless waves and even if I manage to fly out to space the same thing repeats with interceptors until I slowly manage to make my way back to the space station. Is there any way to make the waves stop?

• Sometimes they just stare at me but sometimes they go immediately aggro. What’s triggering them? I am not completely sure.

• If they aggro me, should I not kill them to avoid reinforcements / stronger sentinels arriving me?

Thanks everyone!

Edit: Thanks everyone for the detailed and kind answers!! Safe travels

… A ‘favourites’ tag for planets you want to ‘bookmark’ for return trips.

So far the only way I can feasibly mark a planet as a ‘favourite’ (or simply as a point of particular interest) is to either use a naming convention like ‘FAV_lava-planet’ when claiming it, or to place a base computer somewhere on that planet. Both methods technically work, but then I end up with a bunch of unused bases clogging up the teleporter UI.

Instead, why not add a ‘pin to favourites’ tag in the planet discoveries page?

Visit a planet you like, but don’t want to use clunky naming conventions or base computers? Just select the planet you want in the discoveries tab, and press the ‘add to favourites’ button. Then you can scroll over to the ‘favourites’ tab abd view all your most-loved planets in one convenient list, along with their teleport coordinates, or even the teleport shortcut for the nearest space station.
