Ancient Sentry

The Ancient Sentry is a Boss in PULSAR indicated with an exclamation mark around a Blue, White or Orange circle, indicating who owns that space.

It was a Pre-Union support weapon decommissioned but never recollected before the old faction fell to ruin. These Sentries now stand watch for any ships that come by looking for some easy scrap, so be prepared if you want a fight with it.

It has a massive array of laser weapons so at the very least, stay out of range but within minimum range of your own weapons. It also has missile systems so you'll need to be careful if you want to fight at range. When you attempt an attack, a glitch protocol will be sent to your ship, causing all your screens to bug out, which can make changing power levels and sending viruses difficult, so it's a good idea to take a 15 second break form combat to switch your ship off and on again.

There is, however, a trick with this ship, that can let you cheese a victory. Go onto the dome-like structure at the top of the sentry, and sit there. It's weapon systems shouldn't be able to hit you, so you can sit within AI engagement range and wait for it to die.

When destroyed it won't drop any scrap, but it did give 49K credits
