Some tricks. The radar has a circle. Any guards in that circle are going to be able to detect you if you are also on the same level as they are.Based on what I've seen, it doesn't seem necessary to actually kill the enemies during ascavengingsalvage mission. I haven't attempted them much, but it sounds like I just need to get in, get the thing, and then get out. I'm trying to play a non-lethal pilot and avoiding missions where murder is inevitable. That pretty much leaves me with courier, trade, mining, and passenger transport. I think thatscavengingsalvage, which would be fun, is theoretically possible, but I'm not sure how. The stealth mechanics in the game are really dodgy and I don't think I can rely on them to sneak around guards. I could try to get their attention (possibly in my ship/SRV) and lead them away from thescavengingsalvage site, but figure they'll just go back to the site when they lose my trail. There isn't a non-lethal weapon to stun them or anything. Is there a way I haven't considered to get in and out of a site without confrontation?
What do you mean? Well, guards seldom look up. If no path exists well, they can't get up there. IF a path does exist, they can detect you and run up for a scan.
I do a lot of rooftop leaping. The thieves' highway as they used to call it.
Guards do not have eyes in the back of their heads at least.
If you look at a guard long enough the suit scanner will log it on your radar and you can watch their pathing.
