Active Power Source

An Active Power Source is a type of Point of Interest that can be detected from orbit and accessed while On Foot or in a SRV.

Contents

Active Power Sources contain approximately four S4 Sentry Skimmers, as well as a data point that can be scanned. The skimmers are not hostile when approaching the site by ship, SRV, or on foot, and do not appear to become hostile after scanning the data point. However, do note that entering the area is considered entering a trespassing zone.

In another layout, an APS can contain four Defence Turrets and two installations identified as a "power grid". These cannot be scanned. Attacking the power grid destroys it but neither drops any item nor produces any fan; the turrets become hostile, however. Destroying both power grids disables off the turrets.

Spawn Locations

So far, these have been observed on various types of worlds. They can be found like any other Point of Interest by using the Detailed Surface Scanner on a body.

Notes

• Active Power Sources were introduced in Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.
