In No Man's Sky, Sentinel Interceptors are the infamous orange ships you encounter in space when you are wanted by the authorities for committing a crime. You can also encounter them in the atmosphere of planets. No two Sentinel starships will look alike as they are all procedurally generated. Their characteristic lights and color scheme, all make them stand out in a fleet.

The recent Interceptor update in No Man's Sky has allowed players to own one of these Sentinel Interceptor starships. This article will guide you on how to get an S-class Sentinel ship without spending any credits in the game.

In No Man's Sky, you can get yourself a Sentinel Interceptor through the following three ways:

  • Dreadnought AI Fragment: You will encounter the Sentinel freighter when you reach a five-star wanted rating in the game. Once you destroy this, you will receive a Dreadnought AI Fragment as a reward. You can use this fragment on a Corrupted Sentinel planet, which will locate a crashed Sentinel starship.
  • Harmonic Camps: These are special types of camps spread throughout the surface of Corrupted planets. You can locate one by flying low over the planet's surface or using an Echo Locator that you can obtain by destroying Corrupted Sentinels. These camps will tell you where you can find a crashed Interceptor.
  • Obtaining the coordinates from a fellow interloper: If you know someone who has already claimed a crashed Sentinel starship, you can take the coordinates from that person and claim the Sentinel Interceptor by going to that particular location, just like any other crashed ship in No Man's Sky.

Once you have claimed your crashed Sentinel Interceptor via one of the methods above, you will have to repair the ship in order to use it properly. Hence, you will require the following three items to repair a crashed Sentinel Interceptor:

  • Three Radiant Shards: These are abundant on any Corrupted Sentinel planet.
  • One Inverted Mirror: You can obtain this by killing a Dissonance Resonator on any Corrupted planet.
  • One Harmonic Brain: You can obtain a Hyaline Brain from the crashed Interceptor wreck. This can be converted into a Harmonic Brain.
