I am not sure, as they require a high wanted level, which the base actually had. In ‘normal’ encounters they tend to disappear when I run off to drop the wanted level and return real quick to hopefully find one still walking about. Might have to try some more, as it would be cool, although I doubt they will return to their fold-up state.

Exactly the reason I got it, the looks 🙂 Plenty of them around on my home planet, but the time I bought it was because of being an A-Class with 20 slots, perfect layout, and tech. Was the 2nd ship I bought and could just afford it. See [here](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/starships/5681/17).

I don’t think so, but there’s a way of not so stealthily roasting them with your ship’s guns (they get up in that case too, but there’s not that much they can do…)

@Argent-Star correct this was shown in a trailer but walkersbin the wild never made it to launch so we never seen this in action until NEXT
@DevilinPixy
The only time I’ve seen them do this for me in NEXT was when I had a five star, and I hid, because I wanted to show my friend, who is new to the game, how fun it was to follow a walker around as it tries to run away and despawn.
The walker was in its crouched position atop the mountain I ditched it on, but it was on a weird bit of geography causing it to sorta shake so i thought at first it’s legs were just stuck in the mountain.
Said to my friend, ah crap it’s glitched into the mountain, we’ll have to dig it out.
Got a genuine fright when we approached and it just stood up suddenly, looming over us.
Very cool to hear you can find them in the wild like this too 🙂
@SingularGleam do they really come in yellow now or is this a PC mod?

That big boi was on an extreme sentinel planet - there were more walkers and quadras that spawned naturally as well.

Hmmm… Wonder if Yellow Walkers are “XBox Xclusive”? 🤔
… in which case, have you found any _Yellow **Quadras** _ yet, @SingularGleam…?? 😮
Or, maybe Yellow marks sentinels on extreme sentinel planets, only?
Cuuuuurious . . . . .

Now that I think of it, I’m pretty sure I have seen yellow lil guys yeah. I’ll keep my eyes out and play with some more over the next couple days - see if I can snag some pics.

So perhaps Yellow colouring is related to its Environment / Location . . .
…rather than just being “random”. 😉
That’d be cool.
Cuz then, when we land somewhere, if we see YELLOW Sentinels, we know we need to be cautious (if the Planetary Info doesn’t already tell us so)…

I have hit about 20 worlds so far, with no sign of the yellow sentinels - I’m leaning towards wishful thinking on my part or perhaps I was moving the sun in a pic or something. I’m still looking and playing with sentinels in hopes of finding some, the quads jumping at me makes me laugh so I’m having fun searching 😃

Good stuff, @SingularGleam. 😃
They do look “a bit yellow-ish” in your pic, compared to regular orangey… but perhaps it really is only about the larger units – being fewer in number overall, it would be “easier” to code a subset of them with (different colouring and) different behaviour instruction sets. 😉 👍
I guess it would make sense that the ubiquitous Floating Eyes / Drones would just be run-o-th-mill. 🙂
## _Anyone else got some good Sentinel-Surfing pix for August?_
I’ve yet to see someone **“ride a(ny) sentinel” _over a ravine_** for example. 😛
_(It would take more patience than most have -_ possibly/probably?! _- to ( a ) wait for a sentinel to be ‘accessible’,
( b ) take the time to Get On Top Of It, and ( c ) w-a-i-t around while it does its semi-randomised floating . . .)_
@DevilinPixy’s capture of a [Hunched (folded) Walker on the edge of a ravine](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/sentinel-surfing-a-sport-your-pix/5667/38) was pretty cool – esp as it was “squatting correctly” for the terrain – its uphill “knee” was actually higher for having that foot higher up! 👍
@Xion4012 has [an **excellent “close-up”** shot of themselves atop a Walker](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/sentinel-surfing-a-sport-your-pix/5667/2) (cut in close to a view of its head).
In fact, TWO shots; one where he’s _literally **GETTING SHOT** _. 😱 Hard to get. 👍 👍 👍 Very revealing…
Of course, @SingularGleam also [gets shot whilst Sentinel Surfing](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/sentinel-surfing-a-sport-your-pix/5667/26).. 😮 .. atop a **Quadra**. 😃

What am I surfing? The sentinel, or my ship?
Halfway through a battle I go back closer to my ship, and this guy was trying to fly into an intake. I guess it just got a little too attached to the ship. 😂

That’s an EXCELLENT capture, @projectcartwheel! 😃 👍
If the drone’s really close to the ship, I wonder if - were it to move away - you’d be left standing on the most forward edge of the thruster-jet intake . . . ? 🤔 💭
I also like your ship; it’s got a similar config to the “small” style I prefer; bubt I’m not keen on the shortest “starter-ship” nose. I REALLY like the tri-port engines in back, though – the 1-over-2 triangular layout is my favourite. 🙂
Can only guess from this pic, but are your wings the medium-wide trapezoids? 😮
