attack a sentinel and keep killing them until you kill the big robot, you will get a pillar location
or you can try to find a base near a pillar in the anomaly teleport
This is the way. I believe one of the milestones gives you a prepackaged neutron cannon and one upgrade, and other upgrades are easy to find at space stations. The neutron cannon is stupidly overpowered once you have three S class upgrades on it, preferably with one of two of them in a supercharged slot. Sentinel combat is trivialized once you realize that you can collect the canisters they drop simply by shooting them, and your hopped up neutron cannon will crack those open with one shot, and half of them contain shield refills.
The problem I ran into is that I keep running out of ammo, so I only make it to around wave 3 and then have to give up. Occasionally I can jump into my ship and get some quick kills to find some ammo, but it's never enough to really get anything done.
