I can say that between ~350 attempts at finiding an anomaly, ima wait till they tie it to a tile.

yeah, usually, its the same node.
A youtuber managed to spawn it on the same node five times in a row. On the next hour, the ship disappeared.

However, the node in question is different across the players.

I don't think its entirely RNG. There some RNG to it, but at the same time, something deterministic as well.

I did a quicksearch of every node in Veil Proxima, No ship spawns. I think that youtuber was extremely lucky or DE hasn't disclose the sentient ship spawnrate

After chatting with a Friend, the Anomaly spawns for 30 Mins in any Node in every 2 Hour 45 Mins. So unless you are good at keeping track of time, it would take a while to find even one due to the time gate. I did find the Anomaly at Rya for the first time today.

Yep. Time gate. Probably 3 hr intervals. And nsu grid. Gl peeps.

I had one spawn when i took my brother and another friend to the veil for the first time. Couldn't have worked out better. My first mission with my best buds and we get to scour the sentient ship. We even got the sentient captura scene! Anyone else picked that up?

Looks like it spawns in a specific node, lingers for about 30 minutes, then vanishes for about an hour and a half. While it may appear in other nodes later on, it seems to stick to the first three (NSU Grid, Rya and Ganalen's Grave).

Now there's a blinking indicator at the exact Node Anamoly is at and the Sentient drops are fixed, there's a better chance of farming Shedu.
