If there are more than 2-3 drones I just board the ship and pop then with my fixed beam.
Need some help with Guardian Sites

These guides are most excellent.

The brakes will not prevent you from getting flipped. I'm at the sites again finally going after the fighters and sometimes they don't move you and other times they will flip you three times before you land... lol... Also I swear they made the sentinals much harder hitting. Before (months ago) I would never ever lose shields to them and now I'm having to repair at least once or twice from doing a site.
Those drones have never seriously threatened me, but dispatching them can be a serious time sink and a drain on SRV ammo. When it got bad, I had to play peekaboo from behind some piece of Guardian architecture. This was before I started equipping my expedition ships with top-mounted point defence. Just land the ship anywhere near the site and the Sentinel missile launches become just a perfect opportunity to unload your blaster on them without interruption.
Just last night on first run after getting BluePrint had 4 of them spawn, and before that I am sure I cleared all hidden ones on site. On second run had 3 of them gang up and firing missiles one after another. At beggining of fight I was @ about 60% HULL and soon after flipping multiple times SRV got destroyed. Since closest place was about 5 jumps (DBX can jump ~55 ly) I went to get new SRV and will equip PD. Just thinking to do this 6 more times to unlock all modules... still better then before 3.1. 
Just for fun (and Mats of course) cleared it again today. As closest base did not have any PD, ended up getting 3 hangars (limiting jumps to 50ly while doing so) with 4 SRV. So far 1st clear without loosing SRV, just used covers and handbreak. Managing pips is most important here, and Voice Attack seems really great help in that.
Game seems to be crashing for me all the time if I exit anywhere near Guardian site the game. (you see ground from close range and screen stays like that)
Attached is screenshot when exiting game to main menu.

Had total of 5 runs yesterday (need one more) and still using the same SRV. After each run entering ship to log out fixes SRV, and using better ammunition (30% more damage) really makes big difference. Getting PD would make this much easier as only danger is when 2-3 of them fire missile one after another. Getting in middle of complex makes this much harder for them and gives you some cover.
