Unlocking the Guardian Power Plant in Elite Dangerous to Increase Power Output without Engineering

NOTE: The material requirements have dropped dramatically since this video was produced, please check the description for the updated values.

guess who just spent all day to unlock this without realising i cant engineer it

Pro tip: Point Defence will shoot down any missiles fired by the sentinels.
Just land your ship nearby (DBX makes this really easy)

i got the guardian module from vela dark region DL-Y D112 1A

Thanks for the help!

As of right now for me, this planet does not have guardian stuff.

Does Scott Manley agree with you, about how you have to fly? ;-)

I feel scammed... literally over 8 sentinels spawned after i activated all pylons

Tip for the obelisks, you can find one, and then just relog in front of it again and again, active ones always seems to spawn in the same place (at least for me), so you can usually got one scan done every 20 secs or so depending on your load time

Hey dude change the "1" Power conduit to 18 thats needed

"ill use my asp" arrives in a dbx

Common drops?? I killed over 100 wanted NPCs in conflict and in resource sites... Not one dropped...

FDev are pieces of shit. They give 1-3 (maybe) tech pieces per run. I hate FDev.

It's just "ONE" Blueprint now for every Guardian item ,not that many,it's been corrected long ago!

Hello Commander. I found, at your Obelisk site, a guardian relic, but more interestingly a "Gardian Totem". Do you have any idea what it's for? (It's an item you can pick up, and I did, of course). Update: there's a Guardian Urn, Casket, and Orb and tablet too....

Toss a like to your Commander oh valley of elites.

answered my questions, thanks great video.

can you log out log back in and get the blueprints over again or once per site no respawn?

love your videos ! short , informant , everything u need to know ...cheers.

I think I'll stick to the fsd drive a lot today and my Phantom with an engineer power plant

Grinding is bad. And not fun (beyond the first time)

I finally got a T-10. Decided to get the guardian fittings. However after watching what is involved. I will stick with standard stuff. I want to enjoy the game not become a slave to it. I used to ridicule people who whined about grinding. I also used to bitch about people who wanted crafting to be simpler. This isn't complexity, it is tedium and that just sucks all the enjoyment out of it. Hard to believe this is the easy way. I won't go through all the crap to engineer stuff which I am told is also mind numbingly repetative.

Thanks for the video.

It's 18 power conduits, not 1 as the description says

ASP Explorer?
You’re flying a Diamond back in your video
lol

Sweet on the reduction! Glad I waited till now to do it lol

It is highly likely that the people who have unlocked all the guardian modules have the ability to hold liquid poo with farts for a few hours.

So glad they changed all of these to 1 blue print per.

How many reloads are required for the 16 repeats?

As much as this is helpful, Why isn't this a mission provided by the game?

thanks for the video and the warning, im not doing this shit

What a stupid system elite has made to unlock gaurdian technology.

No way.

Thumbs up

Should of put more emphases that a advanced discovery scanner is Required, just flew out 1000ly only to find out I cant find the planet

Dont forget the advanced discovery scanner....Also maybe put a bit more emphasis that an advanced discovery sensor is required...

The tutorials helped me get guardian tech I subbed after this
The grinding is long but I just play tons of podcasts during to keep my mind off of the grinding aspect

Sweet Jesus I thought grinding for the FSD booster was stupid. This is ridiculous.

I’m so happy I waited for everything to take 1 blueprint piece nlw

Despite all unhappies, and despite the truth of comments on "grindy" nature of the game, I like it. I like hopping into my 'vette and flying to a conflict zone and killing millions of ships with my lasers having to reload or refuel for hours. Fuk' guardian junk, fuk flower aliens :) If you guys one day fly into a real battle that does not involve flowers or 10000lys, call me and I shall come. Until then, I'll advise you just enjoy and not stress it out. As the balance seem to stand today, game is very enjoyable after material balance, storage and removal of RNG trash from engineering.

Great guide. I'm sick of the mindless grind as it is, I can't face more of it. I'd rather play something with actual gameplay.

Just started watching your videos and they are well put together, informative, and thorough. Keep up the good work

What happened to the guardian site? I've got to the system and despite going to the B star it only has 1 lava planet close by and a belt cluster??? What happened? Did they remove it?

Great video, super helpful and definitely worth a sub

can you explain to me how you find that without a tutorial? it seems impossible

Nice!

HELP i went there did one pass but i run out of SRV ammo... do i have to restock on station??? nvm i used synthesis to make ammo...

does only a 5A exist? Or can we get higher/lower grades?
