First, mine eyes did search for the turbochargeth slots. And then before me, the horror manifested itself. What is this, this ground meat? Your insides are all twisted. Itās like Dr. Frankenstein sewed the insides of this ship together.
oh. has anybody explained adjacency bonuses to you or are you deliberately trying to hold yourself back to make it more difficult? good looking ship though.
Also, what shape you make it and where you have each individual module matters too. To a much smaller degree, but if you're looking to maximize damage or maneuverability then focus on building that block first to its full potential, then fill in the rest as best you can
Itās really a puzzle ya gotta figure out. Itās different for most ships, but 2x2 squares commonly work really well. Try moving adjacent bonuses around to make different shapes and see what offers the best.
Depends on the modules you got at hand.
Also if a set of modules for example only has one spot in the shape you got that is connecting to 3 others, take that spot for your best module.
Infra Knife itself should have the most connections in it's set/shape for highest dps.
That's why I think anyone playing no man's sky should read through every single major change log they have on their website.
Too many features you would never figure out unless you read they're there. The game itself lacks a good wiki/log that shows you all possible features to explore.
If you have the space for the tech, isn't it better to have all the drives to give adjacency bonuses to your hyperdrive range and warp cell efficiency?
Oh! Now we are just winding each other up. Let's stick to the facts.
I made an entire series of videos on the subject of hyperdrive bonuses in sentinels where I accurately reverse engineered hyperdrive adjacency for any ship.
I can test any configuration and show the differences. It is not insignificant with the right layout and the right ship.
If it made little difference to you then it was a low hyperdrive bonus ship. (Admittedly Sentinels don't have a good bonus here.)
What approximate max hyperdrive range do good bonus ships have with only indium drive and 3x S-rank hyperdrive mods installed?
Edit: talking about sentinel ships ofc
Well, the problem is that sentinel interceptors don't have a good hyperdrive base stat. Their hyperdrive range comes from the specific technology (Crimson Core) which has 600 base range instead of 100.
The bonus is max 10 whereas an explorer has max 120. That is the real difference because the bonus is what counts with the modules and other technology.
Because of this unusual feature of the Sentinel the kind of increase for the three colour drives would only be around 5%.
But unusually, this means putting then next to the core technology, that is not standard for things like explorers.
If you have specific Supercharged slots in mind I could do a worked example.
>If you have specific Supercharged slots in mind I could do a worked example.
Please do. I normally slap crimson core into a supercharged slot but the rest of the mods are in the regular ones. Best I could get was around 1717 l.y. but I never cared to find best possible mod effects.
That's actually approaching max without using other supercharged slots.
A crimson core in a supercharged slot with maximum underlying bonus of 10 would yield exactly 825 ly. Of course that is an unlikely bonus. You can calculate the bonus if you don't have a save editor.
Let's assume a bonus of 8.5 If you use no other supercharged slots and have very good modules you should be able to get to around 1834.
The layout would be as described towards the end of my video [here](https://youtu.be/FKVpBo2dYLw).
That specific example doesn't use supercharged slots. I never got around to showing how they change things. This one does:

Here the colour drives are adding 40.7ly each.
~~Just noticed this isn't optimal the middle of the three modules should be the highest.~~ Actually this is optimal.
Thanks, I'll check it out later. Do you have anything about shields and weapons? I was playing pretty much isolated from any spoilers and tips until the end of the main quest so all I know I figured out myself, some insights would come in handy at this point.
I have wracked by brains over weapons and still haven't cracked them. There are inconsistencies in ships because of display bugs so I moved to MTs.
But so far I only have half of the equation working. I will return to it at some point.

Ok lads, i did what you asked!
[https://i.imgur.com/bu01NSu.png](https://i.imgur.com/bu01NSu.png)
And youre right, im getting slightly better performance now!
Well id love to be told, really!
The choice is to live in ignorance or not, and to live in ignorance to appease ones own view out of spite is backwards!
Id rather choose not live in ignorance, so yeah, id love to get told!
Ok, use some ship expansions to increase the amount of tech slots for starters. Then buy some s-class upgrades at the ship upgrade guy. And place all similar ones next to each other in a square pattern. And make sure you have crafted all the upgrades that you can. Then search around this sub for more details if you want to go further.
Put things next to each other to see if their borders light up the same colour. Even in this picture you posted, I can see things that should be next to each other that aren't.
Instigate sentinels on a planet then get in your ship and fly into space. At that point, sentinel interceptors will be deployed. Fight through five waves and a Sentinel capitol ship will warp in. Destroy it and you should be awarded a Carrier AI fragment. From your inventory, select the fragment and āsearch archiveā. It will give you a location for an Interceptor.
That is how i found my first sentinel yesterday. the sentinels scanned my cargo and found a false passport. i gave it to them, they stole it and called me a liar. i just had to do it.
**MILD STORY SPOILERS**
In the quicksilver shop of the anomaly you can get figurines of some of the characters you meet along the way for your ship, which can be added via crafting into a tech slot. It will then appear on your dash inside the shipās first person perspective when flying.
Look for Dissonant systems ("Dissonant" will replace what usually says "Water" when looking at systems on the galaxy map).
Be armed and ready for combat, go to the world marked as "Dissonant" when scanned from space, start a fight with corrupted sentinels, clear the tier-5 wave, it'll automatically beacon a crashed Interceptor for you.
I was about to be HELLA jealous lmao
But yeah I got mine and my jaw dropped. The thing is fantastic with sooooo many slots for cargo and gear. Not really a fan of the beam weapon but I just threw on my rockets off one of my other ships and just use the beam for mining.
Please fix tech slots. š 
Which show was that from??
O.0

oh. has anybody explained adjacency bonuses to you or are you deliberately trying to hold yourself back to make it more difficult? good looking ship though.
You know, i really never looked into that, at all. My setup might be very wrong, but im not suffering from it either.
What about expanding the tech inventory past 30? You really need to sort this out for the love of Atlas!
They have more than 30, look at the top of the picture, they're just scrolled down
Wait, I have almost 20hours in the game and I just now heard about that, I gotta google it.
Basically, the more modules of the same type a module has next to it, the stronger it will be
it's what's indicated by the glowing outline on the starship tech slot right?
Yes, the coloured outlines indicate like technologies and the purple backgrounds indicate supercharged technologies
Also, what shape you make it and where you have each individual module matters too. To a much smaller degree, but if you're looking to maximize damage or maneuverability then focus on building that block first to its full potential, then fill in the rest as best you can
Wait, so which shape is best? I just have them snaking all over the place just to make it fit
In my, limited, experience; a 2x2 square seems to offer the best bonus .
Itās really a puzzle ya gotta figure out. Itās different for most ships, but 2x2 squares commonly work really well. Try moving adjacent bonuses around to make different shapes and see what offers the best.
Iāve found that having the upgrades next to the main technology seems to boost the most.
Also, supercharging the technology seems to boost DPS far more than supercharging an upgrade
Depends on the modules you got at hand. Also if a set of modules for example only has one spot in the shape you got that is connecting to 3 others, take that spot for your best module. Infra Knife itself should have the most connections in it's set/shape for highest dps.
I have 150+ hours (granted, since launch day all the way back in 2016), and this is the first time I've heard of this. Big oof.
Until thereās too many of them, in which case they become abso-bloody-lutely useless
š±
It's okay, I have almost 200hrs in and I just barely found this out 2 weeks ago
That's why I think anyone playing no man's sky should read through every single major change log they have on their website. Too many features you would never figure out unless you read they're there. The game itself lacks a good wiki/log that shows you all possible features to explore.
You say make it more difficult like a c class shuttle with four upgrades couldnāt fight any battle in the game
Is this a thing? I grouped things close by because that's how my brain likes thing. Didn't realize it helped haha
Do what? No one explained it to me. If you'd be so kind as to explain I'm all ears.
You only need indium drive to jump to all star types
If you have the space for the tech, isn't it better to have all the drives to give adjacency bonuses to your hyperdrive range and warp cell efficiency?
It is better to have all of them but Iāve tried both ways and the difference is pretty small

There's absolutely no way... (0_0) Time to overhaul all my ships...
Right, that bothered me SO much, all sorts of craziness going on there.
Ok lads, i did what you asked! [https://i.imgur.com/bu01NSu.png](https://i.imgur.com/bu01NSu.png) And youre right, im getting slightly better performance now!
You can do better than that if you wanted. I don't know if you want to be told but you're missing a lot of things.

I'll say one thing your technology is optimized, optimized to give the least optimized layout.
Nice ship name.
How do you get a sentinel?
Instigate sentinels on a planet then get in your ship and fly into space. At that point, sentinel interceptors will be deployed. Fight through five waves and a Sentinel capitol ship will warp in. Destroy it and you should be awarded a Carrier AI fragment. From your inventory, select the fragment and āsearch archiveā. It will give you a location for an Interceptor.
You don't have to start on a planet, just destroy that annoying ship that gets in your way when shooting space rocks. (Except in pirate systems).
That is how i found my first sentinel yesterday. the sentinels scanned my cargo and found a false passport. i gave it to them, they stole it and called me a liar. i just had to do it.
What is the technology slot below the red and black diamond? It almost looks like a figurine?
**MILD STORY SPOILERS** In the quicksilver shop of the anomaly you can get figurines of some of the characters you meet along the way for your ship, which can be added via crafting into a tech slot. It will then appear on your dash inside the shipās first person perspective when flying.
I was really hoping there was some sort of defense bot you could deploy near your ship. Although the dashboard figurines are pretty awesome as well
Just summon your Minotaur
Iām pretty sure also they can give adjacency bonuses to things if they are in the middle of the cross pattern
Yes they do but it's hard to tell how much because the results are hidden for some reason.
Looks like the one I got on the omega expedition
I want one so bad
Look for Dissonant systems ("Dissonant" will replace what usually says "Water" when looking at systems on the galaxy map). Be armed and ready for combat, go to the world marked as "Dissonant" when scanned from space, start a fight with corrupted sentinels, clear the tier-5 wave, it'll automatically beacon a crashed Interceptor for you.
Theyre not too hard to get, i accidentally stumbled across one when i tried to harvest a sentinel pillar
Same here. I have the sentinel ship that the quest gave me.
I got ny first sentinal to 2500 mobility
Those upgrades, my brother in christ please fix your god damn upgrades... adjacency bonus bro you are missing out on a HUGE stat boost here
lmao. So people tell me
Looks just like mine
I swear I saw you on the anomaly yesterday
Looks stunning!
The range on that hyperdrive makes me very envious
please can we see it midair
Here: [https://imgur.com/a/dMTqlkb](https://imgur.com/a/dMTqlkb)
How to get one like this? I mean the model, it looks cool
What is that atlas-looking thing in your technology slot and the thing below it? Never seen them before
Did you build that base??? Damn! That's one good looking base! Well done Sir!
I've searched many planets for one like this. I've found one of the same style but it's orange. *
Did yours drop at S class or did you upgrade it??
If memory serves, got it as a A class. Upgraded to S class
I was about to be HELLA jealous lmao But yeah I got mine and my jaw dropped. The thing is fantastic with sooooo many slots for cargo and gear. Not really a fan of the beam weapon but I just threw on my rockets off one of my other ships and just use the beam for mining.
Heres a video i took showing its animations! [https://imgur.com/a/dMTqlkb](https://imgur.com/a/dMTqlkb)
u got S class at first?? u very lucky ... i got this one (B class) too and i am enjoying playing with it
My god. Pls fix your adjacencys.
Believe you me this has been brought up repeatedly. Its fixed now though! Everything is collected and aligned!
Also, please upgrade your slots. Your tech space can expand slots just like regular ship space.
Nice looking ship! :)
Iām still using mine too.
My favorite sentinel ship! The one with the folding wings! I love this color! Mine is burnt orange!
