What kind of sentinel unit should I expect to see for each star rating?
I know that level one and two have the small flying Sentinels, and level 3 has the dog-looking thing.
I was hoping someone had a smarter, more definitive list.
Check out the expected appearance section in this wiki.
While on Land:
At level 1, expect 1 to 2 drones.
At level 2, expect 3 drones.
At level 3, expect 1 to 3 drones and a quadrapedal Sentinel.
At level 4, expect 2 drones and 1 walker.*
At level 5, expect 4 drones, 2 quadrapedals, and 2 walkers.‡
*A level 1 wanted level will be placed on you if you flee into space.
‡Your wanted level will not go away unless you leave the planet. A level 1 wanted level will be placed on you when you enter space.
While in Space:
At level 1, expect 1 Sentinel Starship
At level 2, expect 2 Sentinel Starships
At level 3, expect 3 Sentinel Starships
At level 4, expect 4 Sentinel Starships
At level 5, expect 1 Sentinel Starship Carrier. This will spawn 3-5 Sentinel Starships at once. It will disappear once you lose your wanted level.
