Newcomer / Intro Beacons and Guardian Sites and Ancient Key

[Flying Peanut]

Hello Commanders.

I am back in the black and am doing some guardian research. I went to a site and found out by searching I needed an ancient key.
Luckily I found some information about the guardian sites and the beacons and found out that certain sites for vessel blueprints require the ancient key. I have a list with sites and some of the beacons, but not all.

My question is simple. Can I use that same key of one beacon at another site?

 

[Chris Simon]

Yes, it doesn't matter where you got the key. It'll work.

Good. I can load up a few from one beacon.

Good. I can load up a few from one beacon.

I've never tried carrying more than one at a time, actually. Don't even know if it's a good idea (if possible) to stock up.
There are certain dangers around guardian ruins that can ruin your day.
As a precaution - the tried and true practice is to take more than one SRV and to mount a couple of point defence turrets on top-firing utility slots on your ship.

Yeah, I saw the defense turret advice and took it to heart. I had to go back to civilization for some pulse lasers too to activate the beacon.
I do have one SRV. I am handling the sentinels fine. They are not a problem. Getting stuck somewhere is more of a problem.

Thanks for the help and tips.

peculiar response...


you can get and carry at least 100

no risk at all tbh in the Key or its locations.

srv is not required to get the key, only to use it or to get its other part, the relic.
and the risk getting the relic or using either key or relic is from a guardian slf

so, not a big deal.

I'll never understand why people answer with I don't know
or answer at all if they do not know

if and or when asked a direct question, it is polite to respond with any answer

there are several billion people that do not know
sure glad most of them show restraint in answering.



let me get my list...
I still have several million questions I know nothing about, to get to..

Following up on this. I now have a vessel blueprint. Can I scan this site again and get another blueprint, or can they only be scanned once? Like in "log out" and "log in" scenario?

 

[cmdr milesred]

each time you relog you can do it again

or you can fly away, come back try again

there are obelisks with data you need and panels with parts you might want too

all there again after a relog

Perhaps the risk is if you are hyperdicted with Guardian relics in your hold?

I tried yesterday to get more than one ancient key, but it didn't work. I was able to scan the beacon, but the cycle stops there. I did not get the whole animation where the beacon closes and pushes out the key.
