Haven't really thought about it at all. Just figured that since I'm out here scanning all these system, might as well get the Guardian module/weapon/fighter blueprints in one big bang.

I'm totally filled with all the Guardian manufactured stuff, and I'm filled to the max(150) of Alpha/Beta/Delta/Gamma obelisk mats. Epsilon is at 105.

Once I fill Epsilon and get the other blueprint fragments, of course 3 fighter BP's and a few weapon BP's(different system), then I'll head back to the bubble!

I dropped by Synuefe CE-R C21-6 and planet C 1 has 3 ruins sites and of course the fighter BP structure. I stopped at ruins #1 and that's where I came upon what seems to be a Guardian coliseum of sorts, with 10 area's of obelisks. So I've farmed the heck out of it. I'll check the other two ruins sites just for ch#$ts and giggles, then do the BP thing last.

Here's a shot of that coliseum, or what seems to be a coliseum:



So there was a ton of stuff to scan. But I found the ones close to each other and did as you did, used the turret to target them each and scan, no sense in using fuel up, though I did go around a few times to check it out, log out/in, rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat....

Impressive!!! You are really getting your money's worth out of the Guardian sites. I don't have the patience. Someday I am going to have to visit that Coliseum, though. Sounds pretty cool!!

I unlocked my Javelin Fighter. Flew it around a bit and I have to say it was FUN and effective to shoot the Space Shotgun at ships. Since I seldom fly fighters, I had to re-tune my fighting style to HIT AND RUN rather than GO TOE TO TOE AND BOOST TO RAMMING SPEED... OOPS... doesn't work in a tiny fighter like it does in a 'Vette!

That said, I felt like when the AI was flying the Fighter, they did a lot more damage in the LANCE vs. the JAVELIN. I think I am going to go back to the TAIPAN/FIXED PULSE and LANCE in the Fighter bay, but I need to give the TRIDENT another shot as well since it does ABSOLUTE DAMAGE I had a lot of trouble hitting with the TRIDENT as the Plasma AutoCannons required quite a bit of lead as they need to spool up like a rail gun, but maybe my Elite Fighter Crew will do better.

Haha, I guess that is true!

Great info Rec, thanks for the report. Seems like you had a lot of fun getting back the lightweight fighter stuff.

I seldom fly the fighters because:

- The AI is better than I am in a fighter
- I think I am better than the AI in the Mothership (may or may not be true)

..but they are fun. I still feel that a failing of Elite is that the Fighters don't SEEM to be smaller than the regular ships from the cockpit. I wish there was more a sense of their smaller size. Hence my initial strategy of getting and staying too close to the enemy ships rather than evading their fire which lost me some fighters..
