Nice! And now I'm thinking "can we kite sentinels?", 'cos if we can then I want to drag a load of 'em all the way to the Thargoid crash site.
I realize the sequence of events was rather vague in my last post, so just to clarify the details;
-I landed near the "middle finger" of the "sticky hand" ruins site
-I drove my SRV into the "palm" of the hand, and disembarked to dispatch 2 Sentinels that spawned with my rocket launcher(for science of course)
-Got back in my SRV and drove to the beginning of the road-like structure I planned to use as a starting line for my journey
-Panic as six more Sentinels spawn I wasn't expecting, haul *** down the road, launch off the Altar, and start skiing down the slope
-"They're shooting my ship now, crap", Dismiss ship
-Drive 38.7km to the Thargoid Crash Site
-Arrive at Crash Site, take a smoke break, come back, recall ship
-Sentinel missiles start appearing from over the mountain, hop in my ship and fly 1.5km towards the direction the missiles are coming from
-Encounter SIX very persistent Sentinels, very far from their home
I'm not sure if I "kited" them, as in they were slowly following my SRV the whole time, or if they somehow spawned when I recalled my ship, since I dismissed my ship right after ramping off the Altar at the edge of the ruins while they were still shooting at me earlier.
But those Sentinels were at the Thargoid Crash Site 38.7km from the nearest Guardian ruins.
They also followed my ship up 2km high, out of mass lock of the planet, which seems quite high for something I didn't think could do more than "hover".
Also, I did this in Solo Mode as this was the day the GalNet came out, every ganker and their brother was out there harassing explorers, didn't feel like dealing with that.
