I was away from ED when the Thargoid crash sites appeared.
Since I've been back, I've been spending my time "tidying up".
Now I want to go and visit a few of the Thargoid crash sites, before 2.4 lands and things... change.
I've heard about "Unknown Probes" and other malarkey required to gain full access to the crash sites.
Can anybody offer advice about what I need to find and take with me on this excursion, or link to decent Youtube videos explaining it all?
Cheers. [up]
The Cannon Megathread, scroll down a bit and you will find a Spoiler Tag that gives you known decent locations for getting Unknown Probes. You can also find locations for the bases in this thread, and also in the Comments from the Obsidian Ant video that Hunter linked for that particular one. If you want to see everything for yourself, don't watch the vid at all, just get the coordinates from the Comments.
You will need:
Corrosion-Resistant Cargo Rack - Purchased from Palin in Maia. This is not necessary, strictly speaking, but if you don't have access to him, you will want a ship that has some AFMU's, and a high jump range to minimize the damage the Probe does to your ship.
Unknown Artifact - these can be found easily at pretty much any of the old crash sites. You can find those locations in the Cannon Thread as well.
Unknown Probe - I would get this after the Artifact, and not before, but that's just me. It might take a fair amount more time to get the Probe.
Some time - Once you have the Probe, make sure you can go straight there, and do the things. If you are taking damage, and it damages the Cargo Hatch, you can lose the Probe. This will you off, almost certainly.
Enjoy - in my opinion, it's well worth the time spent, even more so if you do it all yourself, rather than watch a how-to for the things inside the base.
Don't take your Cutter. I wouldn't even take an Anaconda. In my opinion, if you have a good DBX or AspX, those are the ships for the job.
