    What is the REAL reason for Permit Lock Regions?

    We are told by Fdev, that these areas are reserved for future content, however in the history of the game, I am unaware of a single permit locked region becoming unlocked for any reason. Fdev delivered the all the Guardian and Thargoid content we have seen thus far into regions that were not...

    SRV Updates and Guardian Tech

    Something I have enjoyed since I first picked up the game about a year ago, is driving around in the SRV. Just navigating the surface of a planet-or I'm the process of looking for something specific. Personally, I would like to see some customization to the SRV, these being small upgrades...

    AX mega ships

    I'm sleep deprived and at work, so feel free to take what I say and change it. But, we all know the thargoids are moving into human territory pretty fast. They are less than 100 light years from sol. And unless the federal capital ships undergo a MAJOR refit, theres not much the federal navy is...

    Make AX Weapons Great Again (4 Quick and Easy Changes)

    One issue that has come up with the advent of Guardian weapons is that they easily outclass all human AX weapons, making these quite redundant. With this in mind, I would like to suggest the following 4 easy changes to make human AX weapons more viable as an alternative to Guardian weapons:-...

    QoL for system status and mysterious things

    Just a small thing that could help explorers as well as make the Galaxy feel more alive to everyone. As you enter a human inhabited system COVAS will tell you what state the system is in (eg. Economic boom detected, civil war in progress). For mysterious things like thargoid sites, guardian...

    So, Frontier, are you going to keep up with the alien/human equipment separation?

    I'm asking this because guardian tech is damn interesting and looks really fancy, but totally fails in any way against human ships. Let's take the gauss cannon for example: Judging by the lore about thargoid hull and how meta-alloys work, it's supposed to deal therman damage to it, because...

    Quick-Guide to Guardian Fighters

    Here is my quick all in one Guide to Guardian-Fighters: Step 1: Take an Exploration Ship, put a Beam-Weapon on it. (Other Weapons might also work, personally I used my Ship-Launched-Fighter to charge) - I recommend you also put as many Point-Defense-Turrets on it as you can fit. Step 2: Fly to...

    Ruins puzzle not resetting

    So even with leaving, changing groups, etc, the pillars that you need to shoot no longer pop up. I was only able to "solve" it 4 times. Is this normal? Because the thought of going to a different site for 4 goes is....scary. On a side note, does each scan give a random blueprint?

    GUARDIAN SENTINEL WRECKAGE COMPONENTS Need to be fixed...?

    GUARDIAN SENTINEL WRECKAGE COMPONENTS They simply do not drop. It's a G1 material. [where is it] I'm wondering why this has not been amended. It's ruining the experience of trying to experiment with Guardian technology and move my game play toward the Thargoid story line. Surely this could get...

    Guardian Orbs. Do they Exist anymore?

    I thay done multiple thousand light year trips across multiple new sites. I have spent hours driving around and hours flying around (yes you can detect the guardian items flying low and slow in a fighter) and found any number of caskets, urns and relics but no orbs. I read in these forums that...

    Newcomer / Intro Super Corvette?

    I was trying some build with Guardian FSD Booster on Coriolis and realized that it makes a heavy combat Corvette with 26.21 LY jump range and 105.19 LY total range. Is it really possible? I mean, is it possible to remove vette's only drawback and make a dream ship with only one module? :O Build...

    Suggestion accepted for a build

    Here's a Guardian fitted Krait Mk. II. Thinking to hunt some bugs. No problem so far with scouts. Plasma are large but Coriolis still don't heve them in the list. Also power distributor is the hightest guardian one but do not save it.. Any suggestion or constructive criticism is welcome...

    Guardian Hull Reinforcements useful?

    I unlocked a whole bunch of Guardian stuff and went fighting a Thargoid for the first time, solo, in a krait, with shard cannons... one rebuy and one retreat later, i finally managed to crack a Cyclops by myself!!! ...but at 3% hull, it definitely could have gone better. Engineered...

    Guardian Modules are great for new CMDRs and more

    Great stepping stones between base module and engineered. Also, sometimes they are great for veteran CMDRs who just want to fly a new ship (for a testdrive and such) and have some benefits with their unlocked modules without going through the whole Engineering process or just did not bother...

    Making guardian weapons relevant in normal combat and make them more interesting/unique in AX combat

    The biggest problem with the guardian weapons is that outside of the gauss cannon, they are all pretty meh in both normal and AX combat. In AX combat, these weapons really fail to perform because, due to the other weapons' lack of uniqueness and issues with them, the gauss cannon is just plain...

    Guardian hull reinforcement

    I'm thinking about unlocking these, for xeno combat. I don't want to bother unlocking multiple engineers, to get normal hull reinforcement, although I know they're superior and more versatile. Are the guardian ones any good? Are there stats available for them? Cheers.

    Understanding the Guardian obelisks

    I did some research into the Guardian obelisks online, but could not find what I was looking for. So I did my own investigation. For those who are wondering: All Ancient Ruins-sites and Guardian Structure-sites have active obelisks. These require the one, or two objects the obelisk depicts to...

    Technology broker

    I would like to see the option to make part payment to a chosen technology broker to unlock modules rather than having to wait until all materials are gathered. The system used to unlock engineers would be ideal. The only issue I would see would be having to record the data for one particular...

    Guardian data retrieval

    Hi guys, returning starside after a break and in need of guardian data for the impending Q2 update. Can anyone confirm the current situation with data obelisks? Does one require the correct combination of artifacts to retrieve pattern data, or are you still able to get it just by scanning? Any...

    Tech Broker modules and weapons are borderline useless (and how they should be fixed)

    Tech Broker modules and weapons are borderline useless, often even compared to their stock normal equivalents. Let's look at some examples:- 1. Plasma Charger: only come in one size (medium), do less damage than a similarly sized plasma accelerator and needs to be charged up 2. Gauss cannons...

    Guardian Frameshift Drive

    Guardian blueprint brokers

    There is new stuff in the game. I want access to that stuff. It requires either a weapon, module, or ship blueprint. Actually each weapon / module / ship? require multiple.

    Guardian Modules

    Guardian Power distributor screenshots or stats? Also really wish *all* experimental weapons had gimballed versions. Especially hard bringing out a big ship like the Anaconda to get fixed mounts to hit the target. Particularly with the scout. The earlier Thargaroid ships were easier to hit.

    How to complete "Decrypting the Guardian Logs" with missing log entries?

    Regarding the bugged Guardian FSD Booster, FDev is giving refunds for those who unlocked it. The in-game notification also confirms that the next update will be 3.1: It's also worth mentioning that FDev might be moving to their new HQ this month, so that might play a role in why they can't...

    Guardian Weapons need a buff

    I think that the guardian weapons in general are far too weak, especially in general combat. As a rule of thumb, damage from guardian weapons should be easily superior to their normal counterparts in both AX and normal combat in order to make the whole process of getting them actually worth it...
