Anyone want 200 Mil for a guardian G5 FSD Booster?

[D3rv1sh]

Just do the grind and be done with it. Coming from someone who unlocked all tech there is to unlock in the game. That was before the drop rate was fixed.

If you're already complaining about unlocking the Guardian FSD Booster... Now it's even easier since they fixed the drop rate. Guardian Wreckage Components anyone?

A better way is to watch all the Guardian YouTube videos, learn the skills then go do it. There are a lot of Guardian toys you might want later. Note the GFSD is probably the most material friendly Guardian module and the sites needed to obtain it are some of the easiest. I think Frontier designed it this way to get players interested in the Guardians.

...and then thought it would be really fun to force people into repeating effectively the same process for further unlocks whilst permit locking a neighbouring system to halt progress understanding of Guardians. Not sure they thought that through very well I gave up and went mining.

If you can get a 2nd player to come with you, it's even better. Coop SRV combat against the sentinels is a blast. Don't think of it as a chore, it's actually real content for once. Take advantage of the chance to have some fun.

This is true While unlocking the Fighter blueprints I winged up with a friend to do it, great fun and having someone 'watching your back' makes the adventure less 'dangerous'.

Should be even more fun with 3.3 as the sites we visited were on the 'dark' side (but still pretty light as that was pre-3.3)

The GFSD Booster is a doddle to unlock. You can do it in less time than it takes to mine 200t of ore. Lol

No it's not! Try parking a big fat Conda there! Its like trying to find a parking spot in downtown New York! Im questioning that purchase now...

Take a small/medium ship, equip it with point defense and it will take out the skimmers for you.

It's very easy, just very boring. Prepare toss an evening in the bin, to save you much time in tye future. Worth the payoff for sure. Just sucks it's so lame.

I took my Battleconda there.

I took it because some b*******d blew up my DBX while I was in the SRV on my previous attempt!

I managed to land it just fine.

^^^ Nice picture of Dav's Hope. Too bad it is not a Guardian site. ^^^​

As if it was so hard to unlock the Guardian stuff... Especially the booster. I still have much more Guardian material than I will ever need. People seem to hear the word "grind" on the forum and immediately jump on the train... I never grinded anything and got enough for whatever I want. Even got two fighters unlocked just because they are pretty.

This is true.

Sure, there's some effort involved in gathering the Guardian stuff but it's more of a "task" than a "grind".

You wouldn't rock up at some dungeon in Skyrim and moan that clearing it was a "grind" and that it'd be better if all the baddies were in one room so you could just kill them all and be done with it.
The whole point is that it's a "process" that you have to work your way through to the end.

I guess ED doesn't do it as well as it could but it's not terrible.
Keep saying the same thing but the main "trick" is to understand that you shouldn't try to get all the required stuff in one place.
Most of the complaints about getting Guardian stuff are related to getting the obelisk scans and that's cos there are barely any obelisks at the Guardian sites.
So, you go to a site where there are a heap of obelisks to get the scans instead.
Problem solved.

Or more accurately, if you take, say, a DBE, fit her with Point Defense Turrets and park it close to the Guardian site, the PDT will take out the shock missiles the Guardian Sentinels fire at you. The whole operation took me about an hour or so...

This. the smaller the ship the easier it is to do a quick aerial survey and bang it down inside the ruin. You want one with utilities on the upper surface so the PD's hit the missiles.

If clearing the dungeon required making a loop to pick up junk off the floor while mudcrabs occasionally pop out to annoy you, then exiting your game and reloading to do it again, repeatedly . . . it'd be worth moaning about.

You can make anything boring if you try, in Skyrim I ignore everyhting other than chests and bodies. Spoon collecting is for losers.

Ah yes, the Personal Narrative™ . . .

Forgive my foolishness, I got confused and thought I was playing a game created to entertain on accord of it's own design.

Do the things you like, anything else is missing the point of games.

Do the things you like . . . unless you want to sit through tens of thousands of extraneous jumps over your ED career lololol.

See, this is how amazingly designed the Guardian Hoop Jump is. FD gave me the option to be bored for a few hours in one go, or in hundreds of smaller installments. Assuming you don't enjoy repeatedly jumping, it's a waste of your time to not waste some time getting the Guardian FSD Booster. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with ED travel and happy the Booster was rolled out. It's just laughably bad game design.

While you're in the saddle, what's the Personal Narrative™ for the part of the hoop jumping where you have to repeatedly re-log to get enough mats for the Guardian unlocks?

That'd be the part where you decide to exploit a game mechanic rather than visiting a variety of different sites.

If you'd prefer that, we could probably get FDev to change it......

I don't mind jumping. I've ony got the booster on a few of my ships. It doesnt take long at all to get one, and I like the guardian ruins made four or five trips out there just to mess around.

I dont use cheats/exploits ever as a rule, I did try both ways for science but thought relogging sucks. Its a lot more fun to visit different sites.
