Seems to me there is a heck of a double standard involved. Both types of ship are sentient beings in the lore of No Man’s Sky.

Yet, to obtain a bioship one must feed and nurture its consciousness into being, meeting its developing needs communicated to you through psychic song, and ultimately forming a bond with it as a parent to a child.

To obtain a sentinel ship, you must accost a disabled one that is hostile to the idea of being controlled, install an interface to transmit your control inputs to it, and then rip out its sentient brain and take it to a monolith to be brainwashed into becoming docile and obeying your commands.

I’m not judging, it’s just a video game. I just found the juxtaposition kind of hilarious.

So you’re startingg up the game and have no clue where or how to start here’s a guide to get you that sweet jetpack and sentinel ship:

I- Finding dissonant planets.

a) On the star map when looking at star system info, look for those who say “dissonant” instead of “water” that will tell you if that star system has a dissonant planet

b) once on the system scan planets, in the sentinel activity info instead of displaying the sentinel risk it will say “corrupted sentinels”

c) this can be done in a simpler way using the warp drive in your freighter, and using the planet scanner in your freighter base.

II- Finding Interceptor ships

a) Method 1: Sentinel Capital Shipsfor this method trigger the sentinel rresponse in space by attacking any random ship (for some reason it doesnt work if you start the dogfight planet side or attacking the space stations), keep fihtingg till the capital ship appears. Destroy the captial ship and it will promt you to a dissonant planet with coords for your new ship (check the galaxy map)

b) Method 2: Planetside Brawl

In a dissonant planet start a sentinel battle and follow it completely till you kill all sentinel waves, once ALL sentinels are dead it will revveal the location of that sweet ride.

c) Method 3: Echo Locators: (easiest method)

Once you find a dissonant planet, look for the big drill bots and kill them till they drop an “echo locator”, use it from your invventory and it will reveal the coords for a campsite, in there solve the “very hard” math puzzle on the terminal and you got new wings, while in there you can lift the seal to get a new sentinel multitool and reveal coords for a sentinel ship

ps: echo locators won’t work on uninhabited planets or barren planets
