Guardian power distributor better?
- Thread starter SkyB
- Start date
Is the power distributor in the game? I thought it was just the power plant that was in the game, and power distributor was yet to come?
i.e Guardian things in the game:
Gauss Cannon
Charged Plasma
Powerplant
Guardian things not in the game:
Power Distributor
FSD Booster
Shields
Shard Launcher
On an aside... while the Guardian Powerplant may not be as good as a G5 engineered powerplant... A lower-class Guardian powerplant will outproduce a vanilla higher-class A-grade.
E.g a C4 Guardian Powerplant produces more power than a C5 A-Rate powerplant (unengineered). This means it's fantastic for exploration fits (gives an extra LY or two)

Voltron is the name of my Gunship. I will at some point, muster the courage to get all the guardian mat I need...
PD
Shard Cannon
FSD boost
Shield - idk
All now in game!
Just saw this at Plater's live stream on yt.
Boy, I hate grinding these blueprint fragments... if at least we'd get three for one scan.
It is soooo boring having to relog and doing the exact same thing over and over again.
It just steals my time and fun... not even from a lore point of view it does make sense.

*checks this out
I'm hoping the design intent was for us intrepid explorers to investigate all of the sites and gather the required materials through the course of play, although I don't think you could get enough blueprints doing that...
You can not - 12 fragments for fixed gauss and PA, double the amount for useless turrets in addition.
I'd say no. Especially since Guardian can't be engineered.

Does it really boost the PP power output ?
No. Not currently.
It says it does in the text, but it does not seem to work at the moment. No boost to my power plants output using the Guardian distributor.
Last week I did the guardian module blueprint segment stuff I only got 1 per scan. And I think I read that they changed it to be that way intentionally [knocked out]

Could it be that these "better than unengineered" guardian modules exist for those people who simply refuse to engineer anything? Hmm...
Could the boost only be applied when using the Guardian Power Plant maybe?
People were spreading this rumor when the guardian powerplant was released, and it wasn't true.
Is a shame then that people still need horizons and planetary landings, as Mac users still won't be able to get em will they. Would have been a small balance for such players.
As much as I'd love to.. it's really hard for me to be sympathetic to people playing on a Mac.
Because Macs stopped being special when they stopped using Motorola RISC processors. Today's modern Mac has an Intel reference motherboard, an Intel reference CPU... they're just PC's with a different OS.
The old Macs had much better architecture and really were something different and special. They also has a ROM Toolkit, which is basically like having a collection of Windows .DLL files on extremely fast ROM, which also made them special.
I'm at a point where the best advise I can give anyone who really wants to run a Mac OS, such as Darwin, is to install ESXI, then create a Darwin VM, a Windows VM and even a Linux VM if they're so inclined. Use each for what they do.
Yup, another piece of trash.
Not only its recharge rates and capacity worse than current G5 charge enhanced PD - it also weighs more, requires more power and has less integrity.
The "boost power output" feature does not work ATM - but if it worked, I don't know why anyone would need it.
