1. 概览
护卫外骨骼 Upgrades 代表了你在无人深空中对待战斗和生存方式的完全范式转变。
护卫外骨骼 实际上是 外骨骼 的第二条升级路径，完全专注于战斗能力。
要获得这些升级，你必须首先找到一个 护卫柱。
在 Sentinel Horde 遭遇战中生存是无人深空中最具挑战性的战斗体验之一。
击败最后一波后，护卫柱 会打开，你可以与其核心互动。
- Tier 1 — Sentinel Neural Link: Requires 1 Shard. Unlocks basic Sentinel interface. Slightly increases damage resistance.
- Tier 2 — Sentinel Reflex Booster: Requires 2 Shards total. Faster weapon swap and reload speeds.
- Tier 3 — Sentinel Shield Lattice: Requires 4 Shards total. Significantly boosts shield strength against Sentinel weapons.
- Tier 4 — Sentinel Targeting Array: Requires 7 Shards total. Highlights Sentinel weak points. Increases critical hit damage.
- Tier 5 — 护卫喷气背包 Override: Requires 11 Shards total. Replaces standard jetpack with combat-focused Sentinel jetpack.
- Tier 6 — 护卫加农炮 Integration: Requires 16 Shards total. Integrates a wrist-mounted energy cannon into your 外骨骼.
完整的 护卫外骨骼 升级套装将你从一个脆弱的探险者转变为能够轻松应对 Sentinel 5 星通缉级别的单人军队。

备注: Standard warp fuel. You likely have extras from regular travel.
Ionised Cobalt
Total needed: 10

4. 最优采集路线
这条路线优先考虑高效 farming 护卫碎片，同时收集高 tier 所需的稀有 反转镜面s 和 风暴水晶。
Phase 1: Preparation (15 minutes)
- Upgrade your 多用途工具 — Equip an S-class 螺栓发射器 or Pulse Spitter. The Scatter Blaster is also excellent for close-range Walker fights. Ensure all weapon slots have S-class upgrade modules installed.
- Stockpile shield and hazard supplies — Fill your inventory with Ion Batteries (10+), 生命维持 Gel (10+), and Shield Shards (5+). You will take damage.
- Equip a good starship — 护卫拦截机 waves require aerial combat. Ensure your starship has S-class Photon Cannon and Positron Ejector upgrades.
- Summon the 太空异象 — Visit the 外骨骼 Upgrade Station and install any existing 护盾模块s and Movement Modules you have. Every bit helps.
Phase 2: 护卫柱 Hunting (Core Loop, 20 min per shard)
- Warp to a Desolate or Barren system — 护卫柱s are most common on low-life worlds. Use the 星系图 and look for systems with planets marked 'Desolate,' 'Barren,' 'Dead,' or 'Volcanic.' Planets with high Sentinel activity are marked with a red Sentinel icon.
- Orbit and scan — Enter the system and scan each planet. Look for the 护卫柱 icon (tall obsidian tower) on your planetary scan. If none are visible, land and use your 信号增强器 or 地面载具 Radar to scan for 'Sentinel Structures.'
- Approach the Pillar — Fly to the Pillar. As you get within 200 units, a red energy barrier forms and the Sentinel Horde begins spawning. You cannot leave until it is over.
- Wave 1 — Drones (3–5 standard drones): Use your 螺栓发射器. Aim for the eye — instant kill. Easy warmup.
- Wave 2 — Combat Drones (2–3 combat-class): These have shields. Take 2–3 hits. Strafe constantly.
- Wave 3 — Quads (1–2 units): Switch to Scatter Blaster. Weak point is the glowing vent on its back. Circle strafe.
- Wave 4 — Walkers (1 unit): Use your starship — fly up and strafe with Photon Cannons. Target knee joints. Alternatively, use terrain to break line of sight.
- Wave 5 — Interceptors (1–2 units): Switch to starship. Positron Ejector burst destroys them. If on foot, hide in a cave.
- Collect the Shard — The Pillar opens. Interact with the core to receive 1 护卫碎片.
Phase 3: 反转镜面 Farming (30 minutes)
- Purchase Emergency Broadcast Receivers — Buy from the 废品商人 on any space station for 150,000 Units each. You need 3–4.
- Track a Derelict 货船 — Use the receiver from your inventory. It will mark a Derelict 货船 in your current system.
- Board and Explore — Fly to the freighter, land in the hangar, and explore. Kill infestation units, open secure lockers, and harvest containers. Each Derelict 货船 run yields 1,500–3,000 污金属.
- Trade for Mirrors — Each 反转镜面 costs 3,200 污金属 at the 废品商人. Two Derelict 货船 runs should yield enough for all 7 mirrors.
Phase 4: 风暴水晶 (10 minutes)
- Find an extreme weather planet — Use the 星系图 and look for planets with 'Extreme' in their weather description or high-activity indicators.
- Land and wait for a storm — Storms occur every 5–10 minutes on extreme worlds. Use your 分析面罩 to locate 风暴水晶s (glowing columns).
- Harvest in the Minotaur — Summon your Minotaur for complete hazard immunity. Walk up to each crystal and harvest. You need 1 crystal for Tier 6.
Phase 5: Bulk Material Gathering (30 minutes)
- Farm 回收数据 — 15 minutes of Buried Technology Module excavation. You need 105 total.
- Purchase 布线织机s — 33 total. Visit high-wealth stations and buy in bulk. Budget ~2 million Units.
- Mine Copper for 有色金属 — 750 有色金属 = 1,500 Copper. Mine copper deposits with your Minotaur's laser for speed.
Phase 6: Installation (10 minutes)
- Visit any Space Station — 外骨骼 Upgrade Station on the left side.
- Install tiers sequentially — You must install Tier 1 before Tier 2, Tier 2 before Tier 3, and so on. The game will not let you skip.
- Arrange modules for adjacency — Place the installed Sentinel upgrades in adjacent Technology slots for synergy bonuses.
完整的 护卫外骨骼 升级路径需要投入，但提供无与伦比的战斗能力。
5. 注意事项与技巧
⚠️ 护卫柱s Are Not Marked on the 星系图
与其他建筑不同，护卫柱s 不会出现在 星系图 上，也无法通过标准信号扫描器找到。
⚠️ The Energy Barrier Traps You
一旦你接近 护卫柱 并且屏障形成，你必须击败所有波次或死亡才能离开。
⚠️ Death Resets the Pillar
如果你在 Sentinel Horde 遭遇战中死亡，Pillar 会重置，你必须从第一波重新开始。
⚠️ Higher-Tier Pillars Exist
并非所有 护卫柱s 都是相同的。有些标记为 Tier 2 或 Tier 3，具有更难的敌人变体和更多波次。
⚠️ Save Before Every Pillar
在接近每个 护卫柱 之前，使用你的飞船或 保存点 创建手动保存。
💡 Pro Tip: 飞船 Combat for Walkers
Sentinel Walker 是迄今为止最难的波次。除非别无选择，否则不要步行战斗。
💡 Pro Tip: Use Terrain to Your Advantage
如果你无法在 Walker 波次到达飞船，使用地形操纵。
💡 Pro Tip: Farm Pillars in Multiplayer
护卫柱s 会根据在场玩家数量进行缩放，但不会增加额外的波次。
6. 额外收益与解锁内容
护卫外骨骼 升级树不仅仅关乎战斗——它从根本上改变了你与星系中最敌对力量的互动方式。
即时收益
- +10% Sentinel Damage Resistance (Tier 1): Every Sentinel attack does slightly less damage. This stacks with standard 护盾模块s.
- +25% Weapon Handling Speed (Tier 2): Swap weapons faster, reload quicker. Applies to all 多用途工具 weapons.
- +50 Shield vs Sentinel Attacks (Tier 3): Your shield bar effectively doubles against Sentinel weapons. Walkers that used to break your shield in 3 hits now need 6+.
- +35% Critical Hit Damage to Weak Points (Tier 4): Highlighted weak points take massive damage. Drone eyes die in one 螺栓发射器 hit. Walkers fall in seconds.
- Combat Jetpack (Tier 5): Hover in mid-air while firing. Jump 40% higher. Escape any ground ambush.
- Zero-Ammo Wrist Cannon (Tier 6): 350 damage per shot, 4 shots per second, never runs out of ammo. Destroys Quads in 2 hits. Your new primary weapon against all Sentinel types.
解锁活动
- Sentinel 5-Star Wanted Level Survival: Normally, reaching 5-star Sentinel alert means certain death. With the full 护卫外骨骼, you can not only survive but farm the endless Walker spawns for resources. Each Walker drops Walker Brains (valuable for crafting) and Quad Servos.
- Interceptor Ship Hunting: 护卫拦截机 starships are among the most visually striking and powerful in the game. With your combat upgrades, you can down Interceptor pilots, collect their Salvaged Glass, and use it to unlock your own Sentinel starship at a 谐波营地.
- Pillar Farming for Profit: Once fully upgraded, Pillar encounters become trivial. Farm them repeatedly for 护卫碎片, which can be sold for 15,000 Units each to the right vendors.
- 制造设施 Raiding Without Fear: Blow open facility doors without worrying about Sentinel response. You can now handle any Sentinel force that arrives.
- Corrupted World Exploration: Some planets are labeled as having 'Corrupted Sentinels' — these worlds are extremely hostile but contain unique resources and the new Sentinel 多用途工具 variants. The 护卫外骨骼 makes these worlds accessible.
后期解锁内容
- 谐波营地s: These special structures allow you to decode 谐波大脑 items into coordinates for crashed 护卫拦截机 starships. The full 护卫外骨骼 is practically required to reach and activate these camps safely.
- Custom 多用途工具 Path: 护卫柱 regions often contain unique Sentinel-class 多用途工具s with special aesthetics. With your combat ability, you can secure these rare weapons.
