Could someone please explain or link to the correct guide to do this mission? I tried searching for it but I am very confused. There is the new version of this mission, the old version, some say go to guardian ruins and do the scans with the urns orbs etc, some say to go to guardian structures and do the timed thing. Some say you need Thargoid corrosive tissue, some video's don't mention it at all...

I won't mind unlocking the weapons but really what I want to do is to pre gather/do the things to get the Guardian FSD module that extends the range so that when it get's put back in the in the next patch, I am ready to go for it.

Can someone please help me to understand what, exactly and in detail, I need to do to do this?

The game gives zero clue about what I am supposed to do and with the old and new versions of the missions the guides are just confusing. Thanks!

I wouldn't do any "pre-grinding" so you can be ready when the patch drops. FDev have removed the blueprint from the game for now, and there's no guarantee that it will be exactly the same when they put it back. They may decide that some part of it is too grindy, or that they want to introduce new guardian components and to use them there. End result will be that you spent a bunch of time doing something boring, and it will have been for nothing. If you want to improve your ship in the meantime, engineer some other parts of it.

For anything alien related, go to canonn.science

It might not hold your hand through the whole process, but it is accurate and complete

AFAIK FD has said that the quantities of Guardian mats may be reduced so if you currently have limited quantities it'll do no harm collecting some more, as to collecting Guardian blueprints and tech I've used two locations SYNUEFE EU-Q C21-10 for blueprints and Col 173 Sector QU-O d6-25 for collecting Sentinel mats.

EDDB links https://eddb.io/system/10960145 and https://eddb.io/system/14175202

Canonn link https://canonn.science/codex/guardian-structure/

Also unless you do a lot of multi crew there's no point in unlocking the turreted versions of the weapons as they can only be used by a second Commander.

Whoa, hold on there is that right? Can the turreted guardian weapons not function autominously as normal turrets, they need a gunner?

I unlocked Guardian stuff a while back but I've just checked and some do have the "functions as a turret with an active Gunner onboard" warning in the description, the shard cannon doesn't have the same warning though :S

I am thinking about collecting a bit of Guardain stuff myself. I know wise words can be said about waiting untill the next update as stated in the posts above, but if I want to start now what is the best way? To just go to the two sites given by Ceekay above or begin a Ram Tah mission? I have only done the ruins missions that pays about 100 mill..

Apart from the various artifacts and obelisk data the two sites I've listed are primarily about unlocking Guardian blueprints and mats (some of the mats are only available from Sentinel kills) but other than selling artifacts back in the bubble there's not much money to be made from these activities it just about unlocking the weapons and modules.

The Guardian Hybrid power plant is essentially the equivalent of a G3-4 overcharged human one, more power but added heat too, the Guardian PD is supposed to enhance power plant performance but I never noticed much difference TBH, I reckon they are off the shelf pre engineered modules so once unlocked you can buy and use them straight away.

Hadn't realized some of these were multi-crew only; that's real lazy of FD and a kick in the teeth for solo players.:mad:

Nice one, Frontier. :(

As far as Team play goes I think you're reinforcing failure while alienating solo players (and actually everybody unimpressed by team play) further still.

Go to new guardian site(s) (You can use the galaxy map to filter for guardian civilisation, you'll need the general area though, someone posted SYNUEFE EU-Q C21-10 they are mostly around there)

Once in a system, point your ship at each planet, (ADS scsn first) and look for one which literally says "Guardian Structure"

Target the structure.

Super cruise to it.

Glide to it.

Land near it.

Drive around in your SRV and figure out how to interact with it (though some don't have the special thing, so watch out for that.)

This will give you one blueprint. While doing this, you will inevitbaly find other materials you'll need.


CHOOSE:

Relog at site to repeat the same process a bunch of times.

Move to a new site and do a similar process there (and repeat)
