guardian blueprints

[Cmdr Nemo]

I'm in the process of getting some Guardian Mods, I've landed at a site conducive for Guardians Modules and have spent a few hours collecting all the necessary materials. Though I've activated all six of the pylons that I'm suppose to and killed a half dozen sentinels in the process. I need to charge the 6 pylons and deal with any sentinels that happen to spawn. I know one has a time limit from the first charging to the next and that the next and everyone after will add a couple of minutes.

My question is: After I've fully charged all six, how long do they stay charged. Reason is, at the place I'm at, after the last one is charged, 4 sentinels spawn. And though I tried to drop the relic and active the ORB by scanning it. The sentinels destroy me.

During the melee, I've never noticed if the pylons still have a timer or not. I've made three attempts, repaired my srv's at the station that is relatively close and returned for another attempt. I need to accomplish this at least 3 time to get the mods I need to start my new adventure of hunting the Goids.

The timer stops when all pylons have been charged. I don't know how long the orb stays active, I have always just done the sentinels on activating the orb then scanned the orb after dealing with them. Maybe someone can chip in with any time limits that are in place after charging all pylons and after activating the terminal, I don't know of any.

Charge all six.
Timer stops.
Destroy Sentinels.
Double check for Sentinels!
Drop gubbins activate and scan orb.
Deal with other Sentinels.

That is how I do it every time.

I knew if anyone knew, you would. Thanks, worked like a charm this time, well actually, all three times.

Two more tips from me:
-When fighting the sentinels, get youself some cover. These things are not very smart, they take forever to get around obstacles. You can hide behind some structure, drive out, empty your weapon capacitor, and go back to cover to recharge. And you can keep the other of while fighting one at a time. I never lost a srv to a sentinel, and I've unlocked pretty much all the guardian stuff.
-Before starting to activate the pylons, locate them all and draw a map for yourself (it doesn't have to be a nice map). Once you know where every pylon is, you can activate them in 2 minutes. The best way to locate them that I have found is, to use a SLF. Hover your ship a km over the site, launch a SLF, and fly really low over the site. From above its super easy to draw a map.
