However, the method which guarantees Carrier AI Fragment is go after the Sentinel Capital Ships, and destroy them. A Sentinel Capital Ship is the last sentinel force sent against the player when they’re fighting sentinels in space. A Sentinel Capital Ship arrives at a level 5 wanted level. This freighter comes with regular Sentinel Interceptors to defeat the player.

You have to damage the hull of the freighter and destroy it, which will also cause nearby Sentinel Interceptors to retreat. You will receive the Carrier AI Fragment among other items as loot for defeating the Sentinel Capital Ship.

There are also other ways in No Man’s Sky where you might stumble upon a Carrier AI Fragment, but the chances are slim. Nexus missions can sometimes offer Carrier AI Fragment as reward for completing a task. You might also receive Carrier AI Fragment as loot from successful combat frigate expeditions.

Regardless, the chances for both of these scenarios are slim, so if you are specifically looking for Carrier AI Fragment, your guaranteed way of obtaining it is by defeating the Sentinel Capital Ship.

Defeating Sentinel Interceptors, then the Sentinel Capital Ship is not as easy task to accomplish, so make sure your starship is equipped with enough shields and weapons technology upgrades to aid you well in battle. It’s best to equip a starship with maneuverability and upgrade it with technology and weapons, as large inventory ships move and turn way slower than sleek, combat ships.
