[willow ruin]

Maybe I have it and don’t realize it

[trim moat]

From the expedition?

[half wave]

I appreciate the ambiguous nature of our characters and even NPCs, not needing hard-set standards from our human world. I'm okay just being an NMS entity But y'all know where to go with suggestions and ideas https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[quick pumice]

i was actually not aware of this, thank you.

[keen ginkgo]

The aliens wouldnt follow our gender standards anyway

[open lantern]

shoot me an outline I'll join the letter writting campaign

[quick pumice]

the aliens dont, and thats fine by me, but the anomaly race is blatantly human, or at least humanoid.

[trim moat]

No?

[keen ginkgo]

I think anomaly and travellers would fit with more body-shape variety

[trim moat]

Where did you get that idea?

[limpid magnet]

@quick pumice actually thinking about this more, since ||the travellers aren't even mammals technically, they wouldn't have milk glands, therefore not having those aspects according to lore||

[keen ginkgo]

I have a screenshot where I was testing emphasizing a more feminine figure, hang on

[idle belfry]

Aren't travelers just an anomaly? Like a divergent computer or something?

[keen ginkgo]

Frick I dont have it rn

[open lantern]

but artemis has shape - more than others

[trim moat]

For all we know the anomalys could be the suit itself

[silent crypt]

As a NB person IRL, the fact that there aren’t really gendered body types didn’t cross my mind

[open cosmos]

ok nice its funny that i managed to smuggle an entire s class ship into the expedition

[quick pumice]

also this.

[keen ginkgo]

Anomalies are essentially travellers distinguished as players

[trim moat]

I dont think so

[idle belfry]

#nms-lore it'll be in there

[limpid magnet]

shhh ||but something like that||

I wont spoil too much

[keen ginkgo]

And travellers arent entirely separate from the suit

[plucky ether]

There's a lore bit where it's stated that ||you never remove the helmet|| lol

[trim moat]

The problem is that you think they're humans

[keen ginkgo]

No, that is removable

[dire socket]

i am a traveller

[idle belfry]

I never fully understood the lore of the traveller so I'm at a loss tbh. And I'm not interested in our anomaly lore. The rest yeah.

[open cosmos]

traveller am a us

[keen ginkgo]

For all intents and purposes, anomalies and travellers are the same type of being

[open cosmos]

traveller amogus

[quick pumice]

honestly, i look at no man's sky, and ive yet to see a single feminine bodytype, except maybe artemis, which shows they can do it, but for whatever reason they choose not to.

[quick pumice]

my apologies. o7

[dire socket]

i think body 3? was kind of androgynous

[trim moat]

That might be the point

[quick pumice]

ehhh, it's more just really skinny.

[vital onyx]

my personal headcanon
Vy'keen are male and female
Korvax are genderless
and the Gek are Hermaphrodites

as for the travelers, i refer to them by the gender of whatever greek figure they're named after
Artemis is female, Apollo is male, Hesperus is male, Selene is female, and so on

[idle belfry]

Yall reading into it too much. MOVE ON.

[trim moat]

?

[dire socket]

yeah, maybe its implying the aliens arent human

[idle belfry]

What we should all be worried about is BLUE TEAM CRUSHING US GREENS AND YOU REDS.

[dire socket]

theres no reason for there to be space boobs on aliens

[trim moat]

Dont be an ass about it man

[willow ruin]

I reported the crash using that reporting website thanks

[dire socket]

that said, theres also no reason there couldnt be a more curvy body

[safe tendon]

It's ok, sit down, relax and take your time. It's fine

Weavers, step on it!

[willow ruin]

That’s twice I crashed in the Anomaly

[idle belfry]

Red and green make yellow, so we should team up as one and CRUSH BLUE. Lol

[trim moat]

Good point

[quick pumice]

exactly, thank you. feminine bodytype does not just mean 'lets put boobs on it'.

[safe tendon]

Don't get complacent with the first place 👁️ 👁️

[lethal valley]

We have no choice but to take our time with this dreadful timegating

[vital onyx]

can we fight the hive of glass without doing the expedition?

[keen ginkgo]

I think korvax have gender, it just isnt physically distinguished

[lethal valley]

Y'all want team victories I just want the armor set

[trim moat]

Xbox getting double timegated

[willow kelp]

lol

[olive night]

Thanks for pointing that out for me. Had trouble finding their Zendesk at first, so tried to see if I could reach them on Discord.

[vital onyx]

lmao

[dire socket]

well, that thing is entirely teat

[quick pumice]

tbh, korvax are kinda like cybertronians to me. they can have genders, if they choose to.

[willow kelp]

swag

[naive mist]

imput and output port

[trim moat]

Arent they a hivemind of sorts

[vital onyx]

that's wild

[lethal valley]

Gender as active stylistic choice in an otherwise sexless and genderless species 🔥

[quick pumice]

if you're too lazy to do the expeditions, like i am (xD)
look up 'consumerism' on the no man's sky nexusmods site.

[idle belfry]

What they should have done was separate the faction wars from the actual expedition. Have the winning faction get a special unlock or two.

[dire socket]

ohh i was also thinking about getting the wraith to match the colors lol

[quick pumice]

exactly.

[silent crypt]

I mean, tech has male/female connectors

[quick pumice]

to be fair, tech has a ton of other kinds of connectors too.

[trim moat]

Make factions a main game thing

[vital onyx]

a hive mind is a singular mind spread across multiple beings
the Korvax are like a hive mind but it's multiple minds that can switch between bodies

[rose seal]

Hello

[quick pumice]

yeah they seem to be less a proper hivemind so much as they're a bunch of minds connected to a system.

[naive mist]

Factions When pepole play mainly solo?

[olive night]

Hi

[trim moat]

Yeah cus ive seen that 2 minds can share a single body

[open lantern]

lol

[trim moat]

Sure why not

[lethal valley]

God one of the things that annoyed me about mass effect is that most of the alien species had a fairly bland male/female dichotomy and the only real deviation was the Asari. It's why I'm so intrigued about NMS referring to everyone as "they"

[lethal adder]

I'M DOING MY PART!

[naive mist]

Players painting themselfs in same colors and having same flag = booom . faction.

[olive night]

I have a friend, or 2 if you will, that are conjoined brothers.

[idle belfry]

I'm against that to an extent. They should do more small events with teams. Winner gets an exclusive reward.

[plucky ether]

Yeah when you have alien species, you have the potential for more interesting things
And sometimes nature is weirder than fiction, like how some species of mushrooms have thousands of "sexes"

[trim moat]

This is like xbox and helldivers all over again

[hushed cloud]

Nah it would cuase players in the non wining faction to miss out,

Then players would only join the winning faction

[idle belfry]

We have more content and replay ability than Helldivers 2. May Ra have merce on them.

[gray jolt]

guys is the update coming soon for xbox

[naive mist]

I did my part on 2 saves today. I wonder if they will count it.

[silent crypt]

I like some of the genders on scanned creatures

[trim moat]

Well yeah but they would have to keep the team you get predetermined

[idle belfry]

I see that as an argument. But a counter, locked to a predetermined team. Auto balance it. Or make the reward free to the winners and quicksilver purchased by the losers. The winners get a special marking on their free ship.

[naive mist]

Ask microsoft

[eager heart]

I have no idea what tbose words mean but krogan over asari any day😂

[hushed cloud]

It would be difficult to auto balance since no mans sky is a sandbox game you can't garentee that everyone is going to do quests to support your team

[lethal valley]

I don't want to let this get too far off topic but I like the idea that all the toads from Mario have different mushroom genders and toadette has a mushroom gender that is extremely close to human "girl"

[trim moat]

Guys im tweakin out ive warped to 5 merchant systems in a row

[olive night]

what are you looking for there anyway? its gotta be rare if u cant find it 5 times in a row

or your unlucky

[idle belfry]

Valid argument. That's why they should have separated this faction stuff from the main expedition. Made it a side thing. I want my rewards, I don't like waiting.

[lethal valley]

I do think it's funny how we have a bunch of different genders that creatures can be like prime, asymmetric, exotic, etc

[dire socket]

also none, male and female too

[quick pumice]

oh absolutely agreed. it's neat. especially with the blurbs you get from scans.

[hushed cloud]

But with an auto balanced team, you might get put in a team with players who don't care, and your faction might loose becuase of it

[dire socket]

aliens can be like us and they can be, well, alien

[zenith pebble]

So we are on expedition 22. I missed the first 21. How were they compared to this one?

[quick pumice]

that said, it's just a tad weird to me that we have all that...and the anomaly bodytypes seem to all be made from a single reference that got squashed and stretched.

[lethal valley]

In the most reductive way, expeditions are chore lists

[patent pivot]

Where's Mythos at?!

[dire socket]

i think the anomaly is supposed to be a space suit

like a nasa type spacesuit

[hushed cloud]

It's probably a remnant from when no mans sky had little content so they didn't make a lot of body types

[trim moat]

Anything BUT

[dire socket]

real ones are big and bulky

[lethal valley]

The skyborn set looks extra nasa-esque

[idle belfry]

Again it would be separated. Those who want to do the faction stuff should be allowed to participate willingly. Those who don't care, move on. There's no detriment or minimal for those opting in. We all kinda got forced into it.

[quick pumice]

see, thatd make sense with some of the suits, but then some of the suits are so skinny, you'd need to be slenderman for the argument to fly.

[idle belfry]

And there's already a bunch of sage players not even trying to do the event.

[hushed cloud]

That could work, missed the part where you have to sign up for it, my bad

[silent crypt]

Idk if it’s a thing but I have luck with finding the mercenaries guild in Vy’keen systems

[naive mist]

Mechanicaly simliar, phases with lists of tasks. But diffrent gameplay element focus per exp.

[dire socket]

Yeah there are soem armor pieces that seem to imply being skin tight

[quick pumice]

exactly.

[olive night]

my pronouns says im an alien

"alien/alien"

[lethal valley]

What are you looking for again?

[idle belfry]

And it would be like an expedition, there's people that miss out, and if your team loses, well, you'll get the ship just not with the cool emblems or special colour. Plus, save editors exist, so...

[trim moat]

Mainly exploration guild

[silent crypt]

Can see if korvax systems give you luck

[wanton island]

it is not possible to increase minotaur slots, correct? as those missions and rewards for minotaur suit are not fitting well

[dire socket]

xeno/morph

[fresh field]

So I've seen a lotta different ways to go about it but

[idle belfry]

And it don't even have to be a ship. It could be a guilded multitool. Or special varient that's lavish and rare.

[fresh field]

What do you guys reccomend for early-mid game profit?

[olive night]

HEhehe

[lethal valley]

Ok so the guilds are always going to be the same in a given region of the galaxy. If a system doesn't have what you want, jump to a different region until you find it, then jump to every star in that region

[fresh field]

I know Storm Crystals are juicy, but I dont remember were to find them

[olive night]

idk, mine a bunch of resources and sell it.

actually.

[fresh field]

Mostly just been doing Fossils, Ships, and Corvette modules

[silent crypt]

Some extreme planets have them

[idle belfry]

Violent storm planets or gas giants.

[opal kelp]

gas giants and extreme weather planets

[trim moat]

Ah

[silent crypt]

The ones with activated metals

[vapid plaza]

all good money.

[opaque raft]

Im not wasting the time to go boot up the Xbox just to be disappointed. We live yet?

[olive night]

find an overgrown tagged planet, they have a bunch of resources that i bet some would sell for good profit.

[idle belfry]

Get the economy scanner and break the local economy with it. Warp system to system, look for trade events. Easy money.

[fresh field]

Wdym by Overgrown?

[olive night]

it means they have a bunch of resources.

[fresh field]

No I mean like

[olive night]

thats what i read off of reddit at least..

[wanton island]

just hunt pirates and get into pirate systems? you don't really need money that much, you more need nanites

[lethal valley]

Yeah this was my mid game money jump that helped me start purchasing frigates

[wanton island]

easy money is from sentinels

[fresh field]

Is it the same planet characteristic as "Boggy Moon" or "Paradise Planet"?

[vapid plaza]

it's a biome title, in the LUSH category.

[wanton island]

either from sentinel guns or sentinel ships

[olive night]

what he said.

[silent crypt]

It will show in the same spot those do

[vapid plaza]

viridescent, grassy, etc

[lethal adder]

Did my part for today

[fresh field]

I havent found or figured out how to find Sentinel ships---heard its difficult.

Im also having trouble what exactly equates to health for exosuit upgrades

[wanton island]

disonnant planets

but just get sentinel guns, one gun is 1m units

10 guns - 10m and around 2k nanites

[opaque raft]

Crash an economy by selling an activated ore, take that money and start buying and scrapping B grade ships, sell the upgrades for nanites.

[olive night]

ok, ykw, nvm dont trust me overgrown planets dont have more resources than others, i cant trust reddit, why i checked with a friend that knows

[vapid plaza]

no. find a system on the galaxy map that says "dissonant" where they sometimes say "water" and you'll find a dissonant planet there.
search for the "/" in your visor to find drills --- some drills have "echo locators" when you shoot them. These lead you to a camp. camp leads you to a sentinel ship

[idle belfry]

Sentinel boundary maps and the atlantian multitools are from alien monoliths.

[vapid plaza]

shield

[silent crypt]

If you don’t mind repetitive tasks, finding a system that always spawns a dreadnaught and warping in/out to fight it (make it surrender) is really good money

[opaque raft]

Either that or find a couple runaway mold locations and farm them and set up a perpetual refinement operation.

[wanton island]

you get the same by destroying sentinels 🙂

[idle belfry]

Harmonic resonator or Carrier AI fragments from killing a sentinel dreadnought

[wanton island]

destroying sentinels actually give nice money both units and nanites

and it is not that hard with terrain manipulator

[vapid plaza]

"drill"

[vapid plaza]

that works too. but if he's asking questions, I go for the more placid instructions

[opaque raft]

Or just hang out in the anomaly and wait for someone to gift you something that will sell for roughly the gdp of a small nation.

[wanton island]

of one galaxy, depending on who you bump into

[opaque raft]

Right, lol

[fresh field]

One last question

The scrapyard quest is telling me to install a flatbed mod to my Collussus

But how do I do that

Its not in tech

[wanton island]

it is a customization part like with head on your pc

go to collusus spawn point and customize it

[fresh field]

Ah ok

Found it under Chassis

[vale bronze]

When's this update going to hit Xbox?

[fresh field]

Thx :3

[open lantern]

so you got the pad deployed? check the custom screen

they got you

[vale bronze]

What faction have people been put into?

[open lantern]

they put me in blue

[subtle mural]

#nms-media message They put me in orange

[vale bronze]

The weaver one?

[opaque raft]

I didn’t realize they were a fixed spawn in some systems. I thought they were the same as the warp jump scheme as freighters.

[wanton island]

so no way to get more slots on minotaur?

[vale bronze]

I've not even got the update yet

[willow kelp]

now im a weaver lol

[vapid plaza]

we have the "i hate my color", the "wish i was that" and the "looks terrible on me"s

[wanton island]

ships are respawnable, guns if I remember are not

[opaque raft]

Just have to wait for it to make its way through Microsoft’s update queue.

[late kraken]

and then we have the weavers

[open lantern]

they are rare maybe past rare like not made any more.. but once long time ago I rememebr them being in the game

[wanton island]

sad, I am doing sentry quest and I already have like 5 more upgrades on exocraft which already lack slots

[vale bronze]

Idk I feel like it'll make it easier for the smaller civs to create team events without having to manually split their members into teams. I hope hello games does something fun with the factions too though after the expedition

[opaque raft]

Xbox usually lags a day or two behind other platforms because of the way Microsoft reviews updates.

[vapid plaza]

yeah. xbox only won the race once.

[vale bronze]

Slow and steady and all that

[trim moat]

CURSE YOU MICROSOFT

[silent crypt]

Pirate systems have a chance to always spawn one

Otherwise it’s on a timer

[vale bronze]

It actually looks like a fun expedition tho I haven't done the last few cos they didn't interest me much

And also life gets in the way

[trim moat]

I mean Free rewards and stuff

[opaque raft]

Honestly, if it weren’t for the fact that the ps controller makes my hands cry I would have been a Sony guy.

[queen minnow]

Did waking titan have a slogan?

[wanton island]

this one is fast and then time walled

[silver night]

free... you only have to do an expedition 😄

[queen minnow]

wasnt there so how could I know

[opaque raft]

It’s a phenomally well crafted controller with a horrible shape and stick placement.

[proud adder]

Just came to say this server is a woke joke. If you get offended by words then sorry I hurt your poor little feelings. Enjoy 👋

[trim moat]

?

[late kraken]

can we still get the bug masks in the expedition

[opaque raft]

In the words of the immortal Ron Burgundy:

“Well, that escalated quickly.”

[silver night]

well...

[late kraken]

is that a save edit

[open lantern]

ew

[silver night]

it's just me on an expedition 🙂

no save edits here

[plucky ether]

Whenever someone uses the word "woke" unironically I assume they're a moron and move on
I don't find it productive engaging with those kinds of people

[wanton island]

wait, what is the difference between liqudator and hardframe parts? they are the same?

[late kraken]

i mean the normal bug masks

not the exp ones

[silver night]

This is normal as in reward for brood mothers

[brittle dirge]

back in the day woke used to mean not falling for government propaganda and the such

now it's a useless word

[keen ginkgo]

Theres differences and they have adjacency bonus

[plucky ether]

Yeah, now it just sucks

Oh well, let's carry on

[wanton island]

I mean is there a reason to have 2 ai modules? I am not even sure which bonuses are there for adjacency. arms at least may be reasonable to have

[oblique vector]

Will I be able to unlock the new armor if I start playing the expedition in say 3 weeks?

[lethal adder]

New sage fit

[open lantern]

its been weaponized against those who tried to wake people up

[brittle dirge]

i got this game today for 10$ and I'm loving it but the start is very rough

[keen ginkgo]

I have no idea but I like to imagine that all three AI modules are their own separate entities that have to work together

[oblique vector]

First few hours are rough but once u start getting less limited it gets extremely peak

[plucky ether]

The start of the game is slow going yeah

[trim moat]

10????

[brittle dirge]

can't wait to become a pirate

smuggling weed across the galaxy

[keen ginkgo]

I remember how much difficulty I had when first starting

[opaque raft]

It’s waaay better than it used to be but there’s still a lot of friction.

[brittle dirge]

i played it on ps4 in 2017 so yeah

[silver night]

thought the same having 2 cloak device in an atlantid MT. No luck there eighter

[brittle dirge]

yeah

[plucky ether]

I think some of the friction at the start isn't necessarily bad
it adds a sense of tempo to the game or something

[keen ginkgo]

I dont think those have adjacency

Minotaur AI pilot modules do

[silver night]

they just don't work at all. You still have one

[opaque raft]

I had a couple friends pick it up a few months ago and the troubles we ran into trying to play together made them want to quit.

[brittle dirge]

i heard you can now travel to any planet regardless of how far it is Right?

[plucky ether]

Multiplayer in this game is kind of wack

I would not get this game for the multiplayer

[wanton island]

no

[plucky ether]

not primarily at least

[keen ginkgo]

Its a bit esoteric at first, but once you get the hang of it, its far easier

[brittle dirge]

it needs seamless coop mod

[opaque raft]

Mainly them running into all sorts of build glitches in my bases and ships.

[plucky ether]

Kind of. You can go to any planet within your current galaxy using a portal

[silent crypt]

Or if you do get it for that make sure y’all on the same platform

[wanton island]

via portal you can go anywhere

[silent crypt]

There’s crossplay but not always accessible

[brittle dirge]

how do you do that

using the space station portal?

[plucky ether]

Nope, portal structures on planetary surfaces

[brittle dirge]

oh

[plucky ether]

use an exocraft radar to locate them, in the quick menu

[wanton island]

via portal you can go between galaxies

[brittle dirge]

i see

[silent crypt]

Can also use planetary alien structure maps

Won’t always put you where you need to go though

[brittle dirge]

i have no idea what those are but I'll learn

[plucky ether]

Pretty sure you can't. You can use the teleporters in the Anomaly and space stations to go between galaxies (as long as a base is in the galaxy you want to go to), but not portals

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah, portal addresses dont have a space for galaxy

[plucky ether]

yeah that was my understanding

[keen ginkgo]

It would need to be 14 glyphs for that

[plucky ether]

portal addresses are intra-galaxy only

yep, but it's 12

[brittle dirge]

so those planetary portals take you to any planet possible?

all 16 quintillion?

[keen ginkgo]

Not all possible planets are "active"

[brittle dirge]

oh

[plucky ether]

any planet that's "coded for" within the current galaxy
remember though that you'll need to have unlocked all the portal glyphs to use a portal

[keen ginkgo]

I believe the general estimate is somewhere below 4 quadrillion

[plucky ether]

one thing I do to find low traffic areas of galaxies where people haven't been

[silent crypt]

An unfathomable amount of planets

[plucky ether]

is python3 -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(6))" to generate a random planet coordinate

[keen ginkgo]

But the portal addresses technically allow for addresses leading towards up to 16 planets in each star system

The maximum allowed to generate is 6

[brittle dirge]

that's just crazy

we'll never explore all the planets

[plucky ether]

we won't yeah

[keen ginkgo]

Well duh

[dark sluice]

after 10 hours is searching i found a paradise planet now i need to see if its a good one

[keen ginkgo]

Wasnt ever gonna happen

[brittle dirge]

it'll have a storm or something

they always do

[plucky ether]

the scale of the game is too big for us to ever fully explore it

paradise planets don't have storms, except for scripted events

[keen ginkgo]

Each galaxy is far larger than the milky way

[plucky ether]

other types of tropical planets may have storms

[brittle dirge]

my spawn is a paradise planet that has storms though

[plucky ether]

did the storms take place during the early game base building tutorial?

[brittle dirge]

it says paradise but it has heat storms

[brittle dirge]

yeah why

[plucky ether]

that's a forced scripted event

[brittle dirge]

ohhh

i see

[plucky ether]

once you go back there later, you won't see storms

[brittle dirge]

nice

[lean mountain]

holy shit where did these come from im fucking rich now

[wanton island]

which portal are you talking about? personal one?

[lean mountain]

100 ai valves

[keen ginkgo]

Were you standing around in the space anomaly?

[silent crypt]

If all (around) 8 billion people on the planet played NMS, each person would need to explore 500,000 planets to reach 4 quintillion

[neon vigil]

How we all feeling about the new expedition?

[plucky ether]

talking about these things:

[dire socket]

glyph portal

[wanton island]

ah, I am mixing portals as personal

[plucky ether]

It helps to have a visual sometimes yeah

"portal" and "teleporter" can blend together easily in the mind

[keen ginkgo]

I like it so far. Expeditions tend to go by so quickly, I dont mind something slowing it down

[dire socket]

u are thinking of teleporters

[brittle dirge]

someone ruined the game for you probably

[wanton island]

yeah, but they are also portals

[dire socket]

I mean they are synonyms but yeah

[late kraken]

has th be one of the better colour combos i've found

[keen ginkgo]

Their actual term is "teleportation terminal"

[dark sluice]

its pretty cool looking

[keen ginkgo]

Or was it "terminus"?

[dire socket]

in NMS we differentiate this way lol

[silent crypt]

Base terminus?

[plucky ether]

too many are just red and black or red black and white

[lean mountain]

no, random toxic moon i discovered, came back to my save after not playing for maybe a month and they were in my inventory

[late kraken]

true

[keen ginkgo]

Probably happened before your break

[keen ginkgo]

Yes, but regardless

Teleporters are the blue ones on stations and in bases

[trim moat]

Whats the best ship weapons

[keen ginkgo]

Portals are the black monoliths

[keen ginkgo]

Whichever works best for you

[lean mountain]

wdym?

[keen ginkgo]

If you were hanging out in the space anomaly sometime over a month ago, and someone gave the items to you

[opaque raft]

Something happened a few updates back that dropped a bunch of random stuff in my inventory as well. At least that’s what I assume. I hadn’t played in quite a while and then they were just there out of nowhere when I logged back in.

[dire socket]

Infra knives used to be best but idk anymore

[silent crypt]

I just say glyph portals and base portals lol

[lean mountain]

nope, i almost never go to it

[opaque raft]

Phase beam can be juiced to oblivion now.

[dire socket]

they are all kind of in the same league tho

[keen ginkgo]

For extra confusion, portal is also synonymous with door and gate

[dire socket]

yeah

[wanton island]

infra knives are still good

[keen ginkgo]

The reason that sticks in my head is because I have a fantasy setting where "gateway" is used for a natural type of portal, while "doorway" is used for artificial ones

[opaque raft]

It doesn’t take much to turn the phase beam into that space laser from invincible.

[tidal glen]

i just call the stargates

[dire socket]

I have found the knives kind of annoying to hit the swarms

[tidal glen]

photon and phase are the best starship weapons

change my mind

[spice rivet]

one (1) icy ballista

[fading nymph]

So this new update is just a expedition?

[dire socket]

no

[willow kelp]

can someone help me, im trapped on another planet with no bases nearby in the expedition

and no starship

[dire socket]

but we don't know how many of the expedition features will remain

[wanton island]

there is a starship, it is literally in the beginning

[willow kelp]

no i was trying to place a portable refiner and i stupidly warped to another planet

now im trapped

[keen ginkgo]

They said "no bases nearby" I think they stranded themselves

[keen ginkgo]

Wait, how?

[willow kelp]

i couldnt place it

[late kraken]

btw, do we get anything extra or special if we take the swarmer bits to get scrapped

[willow kelp]

it said i had no perms

[wanton island]

how did you portal out

[willow kelp]

and then i went to a base and portaled to another planet with no return portal

i cant build a base computer or aynthing

[keen ginkgo]

I havent tried, but the ones I naturally found so far acted like harvestable items

[late kraken]

imma try

[keen ginkgo]

I was planning to try to find some organically, but cant really tell how to find the intact crashed swarmers

[willow kelp]

i tried dying but it made me stay there

i have an idea tho i have a backup file ill load it then restart the mission

[wanton island]

where did you get a portal?

[silent crypt]

Probably someone’s base

Lots of people built a base on the starting exped planet

[exotic frost]

no way guys its at 1% now ☠️

[tulip oar]

meow meow

[raven sage]

https://youtu.be/8yEPtzHu6q0?si=mwGUzcIaCUsmXurj is this a good guide to help someone decide if the game is for them or not

[wanton island]

it is 1% for a couple of hours already

[wanton island]

don't get guides, just check if first 10-20 minutes look fine and then go in

[exotic frost]

i just woke up so lol. i hope as it goes up it goes up faster

[raven sage]

Alright

[late kraken]

you can, but its pretty hard

[dire socket]

woof woof

[late kraken]

i've only been able to find one so far

[spice rivet]

Royals still winning?

[glacial cave]

Excuse me but in what scenario do the flying squid things exit from a corrupted portal? The purple portal state here seems to be from Singularity expedition. But the squid creatures never came out from those

[gray trail]

Lock in red team

[glacial cave]

Is that a modded thing or a recent thing?

[dire socket]

oh we have the same picture contest lol

[gray trail]

How tf we losing

[wanton island]

blue are goats

[dire socket]

That reminds me I need to lock in and help my team

[late kraken]

weavers foreva babeyyy

[spice rivet]

Red will win. We're royalty.

[exotic frost]

because weavers number 1

[glacial cave]

Baa 🐐

[dire socket]

weavers we are Creators of the Universe

[violet nexus]

Is the swarm thing expedition exclusive or is it In main saves yet???

[spice rivet]

Weavers are stinky peasants. Still better than the unwashed Sage hermits I guess.

[dire socket]

we don't talk about sages in front of the people

[spice rivet]

You right.

[late kraken]

sorry bro, couldn't hear you from the top of the leaderboard. mind saying it again?

[gray trail]

Royals ftw

[dire socket]

we weren't that much on top

so less bragging more missioning lol

[gray trail]

If you didn’t answer those questions the same as me… I know u stink

[wanton island]

can't missioning more, unfortunately

[spice rivet]

(This is all in jest and I hope everyone is having a good night.) ROYALS NUMBER 1!!!!!

[gray trail]

Amen

[dire socket]

yep all in good fun

[gray trail]

I know the weavers are cheating there doing time save edits

[untold vortex]

its completely random and was confirmed by a couple in the same room answering the exact same earlier last night

[gray trail]

I’m just playin didn’t know that tho

[dire socket]

it might be influenced by the answers tho

even if they are not definitive

[untold vortex]

right its still "unknown" but ocums razor tells me its just RNG

quite literally

[dire socket]

Reasonable

[gray trail]

We ain’t letting those fuckahh weavers win 🥇

[untold vortex]

anyone but green 😞

could you imagine walking into the anomaly after this and theres just a giant green flag in the center. ugh

[silent crypt]

I wonder if it has something to do with your choices in the main story

No, Nevermind. It’s account wide

Maybe what quests you’ve finished on your account?

[exotic frost]

I did my missions and must get ready for work. Weavers keep up the good work and good luck sages and royals 😁

[untold vortex]

doesnt really matter, I truly think its just completely random what team you get put on. Or like someone else suggested earlier it was based on when you logged in

[gray trail]

I just smoked some weaver

With my boltcaster

[untold vortex]

~3 more hours till swarm refresh

[wild trench]

We’ll see another large wave once Xbox is able to play, that could tip it any way

[untold vortex]

closer to 2 but why rush a full 8 hour cooldown for a 10 minute heist

[exotic frost]

Maybe the next group will be sage since Royal had a bunch then weavers so maybe sage

[wild trench]

I think we’ll get a large group of sage to balance it more

[tidal glen]

xbox is too busy being terrorised by bowie knife99

[exotic frost]

I hope its builds faster the higher the percentage tho. 1 percent for 24 hours

[raven sage]

I have a question would people cheat this game

[fading nymph]

Does the helldivers map think only exist in the expedition or is it in the normal game

[wild trench]

Expedition only

[exotic frost]

define cheat

[raven sage]

Hacking and etc

Of that nature

[wild trench]

People save edit, mod, dupe, etc all the time

[raven sage]

What do they gain tho

[wild trench]

It doesn’t affect anything since it’s a pve game

[untold vortex]

idk what I was just apart of but everyone in the anomaly was playing king of the hill and playing according to team color

[young urchin]

damn bruh the sages are getting ran through

[opaque raft]

Man, I really want to play Space Marine while I wait, but then I remember those god-awful matchmaking queue times.

[wild trench]

All it really does is save time, reduce grind. Some mods may make things harder by choice, but ultimately it’s cause it’s a sandbox game and you can do what you want

[raven sage]

Ok

[wild trench]

Does that answer your question more clearly?

[gray trail]

Go check media🤣

[untold vortex]

I dont condone pvp in this game against idles

[gray trail]

He was fighting back

[wild trench]

If PvP is on it’s fair game

[opaque raft]

I wish more games would take a hint from Hello Games and just let folks break the game if they want since there’s no real competition to it.

[untold vortex]

its on by default so meh

[wild trench]

Odd decision by hg there

[raven sage]

Yeah

[devout saffron]

Well my traveler-brothers and sisters, seems we'll be putting aside our petty grievances and fighting The Hive

[turbid garden]

If someone discovered a system, But they forgot to upload it, Can i just claim the system for myself and my name will show up?

[devout saffron]

Only problem is, my game hasn't gotten the update yet. 😛

[opaque raft]

Especially folks with 1k+ hours. I can’t be arsed to wait for stuff in the game any more. Not for a lack of patience, but just more so because I’ve got a life to live. lol

[silent crypt]

Games with no real competition don’t really care about mods and things

[opaque raft]

For the most part.

[silent crypt]

When there’s competition then mods/cheats are punished

[plucky ether]

No idea, it's just a pic I found online

[weary hollow]

this game is so visually pleasing

[opaque raft]

Then again I’m mostly console only, and everything on console is gated. 😂

I’m too old to bother with building PCs. I’m doing good to keep my home server up and running. lol

[wild trench]

I’ll always prefer pc just for not paying for Internet for gaming

[opaque raft]

I’m also too not a billionaire to afford a PC these days.

[silent crypt]

Mods are a blessing and a curse. Modding a game and having it update is the worst, cause then you gotta wait for the mods to update

On the other hand, mods let people do what they want

[opaque raft]

I slammed 96gb of ddr5 5600 in my server two years ago. I had no idea I’d be sitting on a small fortune two years later. lol

[silent crypt]

Like Yutaka, who breaks the laws of physics in NMS with their mods lol

I want to at least save edit sometime to get to do old expeditions

[wild trench]

Same

[smoky plover]

I feel pretty happy. Just realised how to use solar panels and batteries and I have like 12 of each just powering my base hopefully it's enough to keep it powered 24/7 I have it connected altogethe. I'm growing one of every crop

[still roost]

Doesn't look like a Jedi 😆

[quartz trellis]

Nervous on joining the expedition.

[opaque raft]

Just wait until you figure out the geomagnetic generators.

[idle belfry]

It's annoying. We got the least amount of people.

[opaque raft]

That was probably my biggest leap of satisfaction in the game.

[silent crypt]

If you make sure you have enough solar panels to cover the low light times with how much power you’re using, divide the number of solar panels by 2 and have that many batteries

You’ll be good

[smoky plover]

I've got 12 batteries and 12 solar panels, 6 on each side. The side with the landing pad and the side closest to my exocrafts bays all have batteries I added today and solar panels on the roof above

[idle belfry]

Rule of thumb: 2 solar panels per battery, if your power is under 50, 2 batteries and 4 panels. Anything that hits 50 and higher, 3 panels per battery and increase by 1 battery by 25 watts.

[opaque raft]

I haven’t done a complete base rebuild in a couple years. Mainly because the last time I did my wife lost me for like two weeks straight. 😂

[silent crypt]

12 batteries is a lil overkill for 12 panels

[idle belfry]

When you hit 50, you should have 3 batteries. 75 should be 4, 100 should be 5. And 15 panels total at that point.

[smoky plover]

Idk about power consumption I'm powering minimal things like just planter pots

[glad nimbus]

Expedition not live on Xbox yet?

[plucky ether]

Nope

[opaque raft]

Nope

[glad nimbus]

Smh typical

[smoky plover]

A few lightbulbs and a appearance editor

[plucky ether]

Xbox is behind on the update as usual it seems

[silent crypt]

If you interact with a panel or a battery it should show your overall power draw

Maybe not a battery, but I know panels do for sure

[idle belfry]

2 batteries and 4 panels.

[smoky plover]

Yeah I did that they seem to speed up after dawn

[silent crypt]

That’s power gen, you want to look at power draw

[smoky plover]

So should I just double the amount of solar panels to batteries to make a 2|1 ratio?

[opaque raft]

Once I started getting into the double digits of panels, I started looking for a good electromagnetic source and planning a base rebuild.

[gray trail]

Let’s go red team❤️

[idle belfry]

Until you hit 50W consumed. When you hit 50, 3P:1B and add a battery per 25W

[viscid trellis]

You want 2 solar 1 battery per 50 power used

[silent crypt]

Yeah electromagnetic sources are way easier for big bases

[smoky plover]

Idk how much power my base is using how do you check?

[viscid trellis]

Click on solar or battery

[opaque raft]

And once you do one, you kinda start planning all of your future base placement around electromagnetic sources.

[idle belfry]

I'll show him. Give me a sec

[silent crypt]

I’m not near a solar panel or else I would show

[opaque raft]

Pretty sure it’s just a hover tooltip on your battery or panel.

[smoky plover]

I did so it showed it would take like 1:30 to charge and it was something like 49 Wats per second

[idle belfry]

Loading in Primary

[silent crypt]

There should be numbers all the way to the right that show as a fraction

[idle belfry]

It's easier with a picture.

[viscid trellis]

There used to be a !power command to tell you what you need on discord. No clue what command is

[opaque raft]

If the grid is closed any of them should show your full capacity.

[smoky plover]

I finished playing for the day I'm not online

I just connect everything with wires

[viscid trellis]

Yep im at work so cant post a pic for them

[silent crypt]

Unless I’m making teleportal only bases this is so true

[idle belfry]

I'm using my disposal plant as a reference since it has a higher consumption.

[idle belfry]

Warping to it now.

[silent crypt]

Are you powering the whole planet????

[smoky plover]

Is there an area of effect with power? Because I have this row in the middle not connected but they are powered by the sides

[frosty oyster]

Still not on xbox?

[viscid trellis]

You need to know the used amount top left

[late kraken]

brother tryna solve the world energy crisis in NMS

[viscid trellis]

No, its a random pic i found in the channel to try explain 😆

[silent crypt]

Ahh

That’s a lot of power still

[smoky plover]

Nikola Tesla is that you?

[idle belfry]

This is battery view.

[silent crypt]

Alternatively can find a perpetual day spot and say fuck off to the batteries lol

[idle belfry]

This is pannel view.

[viscid trellis]

So 83, need 4 solar, 2 batteries

[opaque raft]

I even do it for that. Mainly because I usually throw a couple large refiners in the room just to have them easily accessible. Everything except for my main base are just one room satellite bases with a pad, teleporter, and usually two large refiners.

[idle belfry]

Actually, I have 6 panels and 2 batteries.

If I were to do a 2:1 I'd have 3.5 minutes of blackout.

[opaque raft]

Then a platform with 6 electrogens just in case I decide to add more power hungry stuff later.

[idle belfry]

Yes I know because it happened.

[gray trail]

Are people cheating the cooldown or the mission in general for the prismatic core?

[viscid trellis]

How do u cheat the cd? Im just waiting 7 weeks, doing no missions till it completes

[idle belfry]

My math is off then, 0-50kP should have 1 battery and 3 panels. 50-100kP should be 6P:2B

So a 3:1 ratio is best.

If you're under 30, 2:1 can get you by if you don't have anything power hungry.

[viscid trellis]

I know that on mine, it powers at 25 per solar in part of dark time ie dusk n dawn so it doesnt run out for me

[idle belfry]

Run a 3:1 and you'll be fine with no blackout.

As one dude said, once you get into crazy triples, better off with electromagnetic sources.

[opaque raft]

Sometimes I think it would be cool if they fleshed out the power systems a little more. Like add nuance like differences between running a serial or parallel system, power conversion/inversion, etc. But I know most people would probably bounce off of that pretty hard.

[silent crypt]

Yeah the amount of solar panels needed for high power levels gets pretty ridiculous

[idle belfry]

I've never found myself needing that much power. And I have a backup bio generator just in case I get low on power.

[idle belfry]

As long as you do the 3:1, you're good. It's just materialistically expensive.

[silent crypt]

I have an underwater base I expanded very rapidly with solar panels and it got to be so expensive

As an aside, it’s also so funny to me that solar panels work at 1500u under the ocean

[opaque raft]

That’s something I keep telling myself I’m going to do, but every time I think about building a full underwater base I shelve it because I know for sure I’d disappear into the game for weeks.

[viscid trellis]

Anything more than a teleporter i run electromagnetic, there have been a few instances where i couldnt find a hotspot within 1000u though

[idle belfry]

You're kinda forced into solar then at that depth.

[viscid trellis]

Why..

[opaque raft]

Yeah, some of my satellite bases are a decent distance from the reason I built them because of the source.

[silent crypt]

There’s probably electromagnetic spots somewhere, but the base is also near a portal

Glyph portal

[quartz trellis]

Hmm...

[silent crypt]

I built the base so I didn’t die

[idle belfry]

I've never found anything higher than a C class electromagnetic vent on an ocean world.

[silent crypt]

Cause I glyph portaled in lmao

[opaque raft]

I don’t mind it though because it gives me an excuse to bust out the bike and ride to whatever it is that’s nearby.

[silent crypt]

C class electromagnetic is still far more efficient than panels

[frosty oyster]

Is uptade on xbox yet?

[opaque raft]

Nope

[idle belfry]

Not for what I wanted to build.

Is there a new ship or just parts for the corvette customization?

[idle belfry]

None with this update.

[floral shale]

When is the new update out?

[idle belfry]

TBD
Check bot spam

[upper vine]

Smh boring then !

[silent crypt]

Found an S rank electromagnetic spot aw yeh

[idle belfry]

This update is the weakest one I think in a long while. Literally you hurry up and do all three missions as fast as you can to wait hours upon hours for you to get the next 3

[north garden]

i js cant enter atlas in expedition nice

[idle belfry]

This game is crash after crash every time I try and warp. Multiplayer or not, and I have all the settings low.

[opal kelp]

the "go outside and touch grass" expedition

[idle belfry]

Dude you ain't wrong.

[lethal valley]

I'm enjoying the update by cleaning up my irl starship (car)

I found a pair of earrings and a water bottle I thought I had lost 🔥

[cedar bough]

every time i clean my car i find a new artifact lost to time

[lethal valley]

Archeology

[wraith bough]

Rocky is waiting for the Hail Mary

[idle belfry]

Every time I clean my car out some technology breaks.

Anyway, my dude looks like a big daddy from Bioshock.

Similar to one.

[deep heart]

what is the difference between no mans sky on ps4 and ps5 ?

[idle belfry]

None. Same game between all platforms.

PS5 gets the updates faster.

Maybe graphical settings are better on 5. From footage, I don't see a difference. Load times look a bit faster.

[deep heart]

alr thank you very much

do you know how to move a ps4 save onto ps5 version ?

[devout saffron]

So...looks like we'll all be trying to construct the Prismatic Core and sabotaging each other to get a leg-up on our respective teams

[viscid trellis]

Cross save

[idle belfry]

I know all Xbox stuff and I can tell you the load times are faster between Xbox 1 and Series X. One X loads faster than one and Series loads faster than One X.

[deep heart]

just saw it thanks hahaha

[tidal glen]

anyone know who's first?

is it still weavers

[junior stratus]

i need to make a new corvette not liking what i did with it

[late kraken]

the only way we sabotage each other is by going on murder sprees or griefing. neither is worth the bullshit, so lets not

[fresh field]

Is there a trick for getting a certain species to spawn?

[deep heart]

anyone know what the difference is between a freighter and a dreadnaught ? which is better etc ?

[lofty pond]

They are the same

[devout saffron]

I'm hoping to join Sage but i'm not sure yet

[fresh field]

There's two flying species on this planet, one diurnal, one always active. The latter is even the Common one but I have yet to see it

[tidal glen]

eyy at least royals arent last

[idle belfry]

Size. Capitals are bigger than regular freighters.

[lofty pond]

Its called a dreadnought purely for the whole pirate thing, they both count as freighters

[idle belfry]

I'm on the team that ain't doing shit. This sucks.

[tidal glen]

depends what dreadnought you mean

[devout saffron]

Hopefully I can join up soon

[lofty pond]

Ngl I wish the pirate dreadnoughts ACTUALLY used their weapons in battle when you claim one. Waste of aesthetics lmao

[devout saffron]

This expedition looks fun

[glacial cave]

[deep heart]

is dreadnaught class s and its red and black idk

[tidal glen]

they can

[idle belfry]

It's fun until you get to the waiting game.

[fresh field]

Anyone?

[devout saffron]

Waiting game?

What, building the core?

[lofty pond]

They can??? I've had like, 10 space fights right next to mine and it didnt do anything, not even when the sentinel capital ship pulls up

[untold vortex]

1 more hour and 10 MINUTES

[tidal glen]

yeah they can you just need it microscopically placed accurate

[idle belfry]

I've been waiting 4 hours for the next activity

[devout saffron]

Huh...

[tidal glen]

i was jumpscared by the anti-freighter lasers when fighting a sentinel dreadnought

[untold vortex]

technically 8 since the last rollover, seeing as its the same for everyone

[lofty pond]

Dang

[lofty pond]

I have been wanting to see them in action against my enemies lmao

[devout saffron]

Not sure when the update will hit my game. I may need to just wait it out

[tidal glen]

it works only on unshielded sentinel dreadnoughts

as far as i experienced

[deep heart]

i sent in dm cos i cant send pics here @tidal glen

[idle belfry]

I like to speedrun expeditions. That's where I get my most enjoyment. Sometimes I'll slow down and enjoy the scenery, then fly as fast as I can. This is a massive hinderence on my fun.

[fresh field]

Is the next expedition available?

[devout saffron]

Not for me. Yet.

[untold vortex]

Sages I wnt to see some sabotage in the next round

[lethal valley]

Why should I do sabotage if it hinders the overall goal

[idle belfry]

Honestly, I might just wait till the last 3 weeks to finish this expedition.

[lethal valley]

I don't want green flags in the anomaly I want my damn swarm spacesuit

[lofty pond]

@deep heart #nms-media

[untold vortex]

since when? completing the missions contributes to the goal

[lethal valley]

Not the ones that are -1 to enemy teams

[idle belfry]

Mathematically it doesn't matter.

[deep heart]

still cant send pics

[untold vortex]

again, to the overall goal yes it does. complete your missions

[devout saffron]

I only speedrun my expeditions just so I can get fast claim on the rewards and be done with em so I can enjoy freely going about my exploring

[lofty pond]

@deep heart that counts as a freighter

Its a pirate dreadnought but falls under freighter class

[untold vortex]

boohoo the enemy teams have to work harder. thats the nature of this expedition

[lethal valley]

I like doing things quickly and efficiently

[devout saffron]

That way i'm not pressured by time crunches to get the prizes I want

[deep heart]

alr thanks bro

[lofty pond]

NP, mine is an A class and I love how dope it looks when I call it in lol

[idle belfry]

So when you do a Purge, it gives your team a plus 3. A supply gives your team a plus 2. A sabotage is only a -1. Sabotage seems pointless.

You're getting 4 points per session.

[lethal valley]

Of course it's pointless it's less points

[untold vortex]

-1 to other factions, it still contributes to the milestone goal we are all working toward

[lethal valley]

[devout saffron]

Yeah, Sabotaging sounds sketchily double-edged from how you guys explain the mechanics of it

[idle belfry]

Here's the thing. Both teams do it so technically, it's a -2 for your team, so it's only 3 a session.

[deep heart]

ours is different then maybe because mine is s ? or are they the same ?

[lofty pond]

S class just means it has better stats and such

[devout saffron]

"Weren't we doing something important?"

"Oh, right... The Hive..."

Hive: blasts all travelers

[idle belfry]

If everyone quit doing sabotage, mathematically speaking, it's a 5 point gain to quickly get this shit done.

[lofty pond]

In other words you got a top tier freighter

[junior stratus]

Hmmm... i think im cooking so far

[long oasis]

i got the warden of glass title

yy

yay

[deep heart]

goated gang

[tidal glen]

me reading this JUST after doing a sabotage

[untold vortex]

the mechanic is poorly explained but im going to keep doing sabotage (because it contributes to the goal)

[long oasis]

im calling it zippy

[lofty pond]

S class is hard af to get, gg on getting one already 🤙

[junior stratus]

might change the Thrusters

[idle belfry]

You gotta get all teams to agree on not sabotaging.

[untold vortex]

the rest of you can do 2 missions every 8 hours ill be completing 3

[devout saffron]

I have this sneaky suspicion I won't get the update until tomorrow. Easterners might have gotten a head start

[deep heart]

no hahaha, i jus started the game and got someone elses save, i dont like grinding cos i cant play much anymore

[idle belfry]

Otherwise if all sage members quit, and only focused on points, we'd still only get 3/5 Points.

[lofty pond]

The new expedition is out?? Time to check the anomaly

[lofty pond]

Ahhhhh okay

[lethal valley]

Not out for xbox yet

[idle belfry]

Only on PC and PS5

[junior stratus]

hmmmm.....

okay now we are getting somewhere

[rose seal]

Can't wait for the new expediton to come out to Xbox, this will be my first one!

[devout saffron]

Remember to pet your Specialist Polo

[lethal valley]

Cute. Love the exposed looking back part with the industrial looking thrusters

[lofty pond]

Maaaaaan why does xbox gotta wait for it💀

[junior stratus]

[lofty pond]

Omw rn to pet polo

[junior stratus]

okay i got a final design

[tidal glen]

i hate the gek

[lethal valley]

Microsoft certification

[idle belfry]

Not just Xbox. Mac still waiting, Nintendont is still waiting and PS4 still waiting.

[tidal glen]

mac got 6.4

[lofty pond]

Damn

[devout saffron]

Han Polo

[idle belfry]

Wasn't in #nms-news-ticker

[devout saffron]

That was a dumb pun but I had to do it

[tidal glen]

check again #nms-news-ticker message

[junior stratus]

looks like something a space pirate would cobble together

and the top hull is armored

[idle belfry]

Yup. I missed that one.

[idle belfry]

Explains the mass influx of people.

[subtle hare]

What was added in swarm exactly?

I get the general concept

[lofty pond]

Not a bad setup

[tidal glen]

outside the expedition? improved space combat ai, mechanics, overall just better space combat
and a bunch of QOL and bug fixes

oh and you can find swarm wreckages and fight ground swarm

[late kraken]

bruh i just found 5 empty systems next to each other, what kind of mega extinction event happened there

[tidal glen]

your username might have a hint

[idle belfry]

Empty is different than abandoned.

[late kraken]

abandoned means they left

empty might mean they couldn't

[idle belfry]

Empty is uncharted, never colonized, virgin system.

[devout saffron]

Robots, robots, and more robots

And a BIIIG robot

Hive thing

[idle belfry]

#nms-announcements
Read the patch notes.

[tidal glen]

thats expedition only though (for now)

[late kraken]

bruh i might have found a paradise planet, and as long as this baby doesn't have funky storms, i'm finding all 4 of my settlements here

[devout saffron]

We must kill it before it lays robot eggs

[lofty pond]

Fun fact that I learned

While planets can be labeled as paradise planets, if you try putting paradise in the name of a planet the game censor filter denies it

[late kraken]

makes sense

no such thing as paradise

[lofty pond]

Learned that when I tried naming a planet Paradise City

[fresh field]

What about Paradiso?

[lofty pond]

Had to make it parradice city lmao

[idle belfry]

Basically if you want the tldr:
Targeting is improved in ship combat (I feel like it targets better [like it used to target the furthest ships, now it prioritizes closest ones], and always tries for critical hits)
Ship combat auto boosts when in aimbot mode
Shields feel better
The infraknife feels like shit now.

[lofty pond]

...Ima try that here in a minute lmao

[late kraken]

does choking humidity mean superheated rainstorms?

[idle belfry]

It's on the rarer side.

[late kraken]

oh yeaaaahhhhhhh

[lofty pond]

Improved ship combat??? Now I really need this update to hit. Im tired of these mfing pirates doing circles around me and taking 15 minutes to kill.

[covert egret]

The “system” the anomaly is actually in is called. (Luna.paradiso) for some reason

[late kraken]

and i was smart enough to get autophage settlement maps with me

aw man it does have superheated rainstorms

[idle belfry]

Biggest thing is the laser draining feels sightly improved. I have my combat on easy because I hate dying. But it seems like it does slightly more base damage and heals you quicker. It's sucks on non shielded enemies, the proton cannon doesn't feel like it was touched. Rockets seem more accurate.

The infraknife is trash now.

[long oasis]

add the thunderbird landing thrusters on the back too?

so it looks like a drop pod

[subtle hare]

Does anyone have any good farming routes for corvette parts?

[long oasis]

can you make the most basic corvette

[subtle hare]

Yeah

[long oasis]

or do you have a corvettee

[subtle hare]

I have a coupe corvettes

But they all look ass

I want the more rare and cool looking parts

[long oasis]

ok get then find a planet with salvage scrap and turn on autopilot when at the planet surface

[idle belfry]

You want a planet?

[subtle hare]

My highest one is A and all my normal starships are S

[idle belfry]

I have coords if you want them.

[long oasis]

then let if fly and scan around till you find salvage

[subtle hare]

Would you mind?

[long oasis]

for salvage?

[subtle hare]

Yeah

[idle belfry]

Yeah. It's an earth planet too

[subtle hare]

I feel like I only get C or B when I do salvage planets

[long oasis]

you dont really need coords for salvage just go to a 3 star system as i think those drop etter parts

[subtle hare]

It may just be me tho

[long oasis]

corvettes are always C class when you first make them

[subtle hare]

Ik

[long oasis]

if thats what youre referring to

[idle belfry]

You gotta trade for the better parts.

[subtle hare]

Yeah yeah

[idle belfry]

Or cheat and use creative.

[subtle hare]

But bartering is just too much rng for me

[subtle hare]

🤷

[long oasis]

bruh

[junior stratus]

okay this pet battle thing is really cool lol

[long oasis]

am i allowed to link youtube videos here?

[late kraken]

ok i can't apply to own a dissonant settlement wtf

[junior stratus]

im going to have to go search for more pets

[long oasis]

im going to gamble and send a link https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VXQh9q0KQwk?feature=share

[young urchin]

#nms-corvette-discussion is dead so ill ask for advice in here. Im lost and i dont know what to add to this ship

[long oasis]

@subtle harejust watch this short it recaps what i said

[long oasis]

theres this thing called an accessway you need to get, on the first menu

should be with landing gears or

next to it

its basically the ramp/door to your corvette

[young urchin]

im not THAT lost 😭

[long oasis]

then what DO YOU NEED

YOU ASKED

[young urchin]

asked for suggestions

[long oasis]

oh like design?

[young urchin]

yes

half of this ship is glitch built lmao im not lost enough to ask how to complete it

[long oasis]

get more diffusers and aerofoil and stuff like that

like

corner pieces

gives it aerodynamic look

[young urchin]

see this neat little trick? those are 4 engine covers with an engine in the middle

[long oasis]

that DOES look neat

[rose seal]

Streamline the bottom maybe?

[idle belfry]

Forgot to tag

[junior stratus]

i need to stop using creative to build corvettes

[long oasis]

shame on you

[young urchin]

whats on your mind

[junior stratus]

😭

[rose seal]

I forgot creative existed because I've been stuck playing Normal

[idle belfry]

Nah. If you could legit buy the parts instead of trading, I would stop using creative.

[young urchin]

no dont stop

[junior stratus]

i only use it for corvettes too

[long oasis]

you LITERALLY find the same parts just by farming salvage

its not that hard

[young urchin]

nothing wrong with using creative for corvettes

[lofty pond]

Personally I dont use the infraknife often

[young urchin]

my guy the more complex corvette builds REQUIRE creative because of the amount of parts they use 😭

[fresh field]

Creative is great to layout a blueprint, then collect the parts you need over time in your main save

[idle belfry]

It's about quantity. If I need like 10 of one part, it's annoying to try and hunt for it.

[long oasis]

idk i made my corvette no creative

[exotic lynx]

can always build it on creative, make notes of what you used and collect that stuff

[rose seal]

also traders are picky and it takes like 12 modules to get a new cockpit

[long oasis]

you just farm for a while and see what you can come up with what you have

[young urchin]

same here, i made my first corvette without creative but when i started getting more advanced (like using bugs to get the specific look i want) creative is a must

[idle belfry]

Almost as annoying to dupe the part you need too. But I got a bunch of sentinel parts duped so if you need some

[tidal glen]

same

[exotic lynx]

well blender/app is also an option if somebody rly wants to be specific about it

[junior stratus]

im going to guess that pets stats are randomized now lol

[young urchin]

im not that much of a tryhard

[idle belfry]

Yes.

[long oasis]

this is what i mustered up

[tidal glen]

i mainly use phase to absolutely melt anything and if thats overheating/on that one second cooldown i just switch to photon

[young urchin]

my first corvette build

[long oasis]

ohh

pretty

[lofty pond]

I rock a sentinel fighter currently

[long oasis]

i mean do you really need more?

[rose seal]

I don't even switch because my Phase beams drop their heat like a mining laser

[fresh field]

Anyone know if system type influences frigate spawns?

...I cant find an exploration ship anywhere :<

[idle belfry]

My first vettes I'm proud of. The others kinda suck

[tidal glen]

i love the phase beam so much

[rose seal]

agreed

[tidal glen]

its just absolutely decimating

[young urchin]

(finalised version of it is here)

[halcyon cape]

Hello!

[idle belfry]

Warp to the system I posted like 5 minutes ago and branch out. You'll find an Explorer around there.

[rose seal]

especially once you upgrade it

[halcyon cape]

I came here for help!

[tidal glen]

i wish we got chemical-based weapons though

like actual bullets

that'd be sick

[halcyon cape]

They Who Returned disappeared from my log!

[tidal glen]

but not really fitting in nms style

[tidal glen]

maybe you completed it

[halcyon cape]

All I had to do was talk to Nada but the game crashed and now the quest is gone!

[fresh field]

I dont even have my first glyph yet, and I dont remember how to get them either. From what I remember it requires a billion system jumps

[young urchin]

i like building stuff and i like it when my stuff looks good

[exotic lynx]

tryhard/ oddly specific about detail
if it works it works as long as its not lagette with over 100 parts

[long oasis]

that DOES look good

[halcyon cape]

It was Prayers for the Machine left, I had to talk to Nada to turn it in but the game crashed on the Anomaly and now PftM and THR are both gone!

[exotic lynx]

im doing one rn and its gonna take a while to get shape right, with borderline impossible without blend

[idle belfry]

Locate fallen traveller's OR complete Artemis and Atlas path.

[halcyon cape]

I want my Atlandi Drive!!

[young urchin]

this is when i started to learn how to offset build
#nms-showcase-corvettes message

[tidal glen]

well uhh

idk what to say

[young urchin]

thank you

[rose seal]

try completing the main quests and also following Atlas' path at the same time, I got my glyphs easy that way

[fresh field]

So I know they've added baking and such, any suggested hydroponic farms?

[rose seal]

Geknip farms

[idle belfry]

#nms-questions might have an answer for you. And also look at the pinned message in #contact-us and report the bug.

[rose seal]

for no particular reason

[junior stratus]

oh god more things to keep me busy!

esp since i done all the main story quests

[exotic lynx]

on corvette for some mobile nip

smuggling with freshness guarantee

[rose seal]

yeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhh

[exotic lynx]

im drowning in herbal crunchies on my main save

[junior stratus]

we still need a money sink tho

[rose seal]

or on freighter for mass production + portable(ish)

[junior stratus]

safe to say i might get back into this game again

[tidal glen]

guys what would you like to see in the big update

[exotic lynx]

combat rework

[rose seal]

more corvette stuff or the ability to use Freighter guns

[serene arch]

Wtf I decide to grind fortnite for 3 days and when I came back to NMS somehow my Vykeen village is 10 million units in debt

[long oasis]

when was the last time u played

considering your role you played a lot probably lol

[tidal glen]

wdym ability to use freighter guns

[young urchin]

more corvette parts, better cockpits, freighter battles

[exotic lynx]

freighters have guns, fire the guns

[serene arch]

Like able to control the guns

[long oasis]

i wrote my checks off in your name sorry

[rose seal]

stuff like the small guns or, even better. THE PIRATE DREADNOUGHT GUNS

[idle belfry]

Using them as turrets would be fun. Raids on your capital ship would be entertaining.

[serene arch]

How the hell am I supposed to clear 10 million units of debt

[tidal glen]

i mean they can fire

[serene arch]

😩

[tidal glen]

just

badly

[long oasis]

upgrade buildings

[young urchin]

you dont

[long oasis]

ik i did

[tidal glen]

the anti-ship turrets suck at their job

[serene arch]

That's what I've been doing

[exotic lynx]

pattergek you see that trading opportunity
i dont want to see it do something
man the guns

[tidal glen]

and the anti-freighter turrets are very specific

[rose seal]

is it automated?

[tidal glen]

yes

[young urchin]

need to have a lot of S or A class buildings

[long oasis]

have you been upgrading industrial and commercial buildings

[rose seal]

THEY WORK TOO?

[long oasis]

not stuff like residencies

[tidal glen]

wish we could have chemical-based weapons and buildable freighters

[tidal glen]

yes

[serene arch]

I mean yeah but I didn't think three days away from it would cause 10 million in debt

[junior stratus]

oh shit...

[tidal glen]

but you need to be very specific how you position your freighter

[junior stratus]

i forgot about my settlements

[long oasis]

honestly im equally stumped

[young urchin]

last time someone used chemical based weapons a lot of bad things happened...

[exotic lynx]

they be gambling with settlement to the left

[lofty pond]

Yeahhh you gotta stay ontop of them

[rose seal]

I was actively working on my settlement and still went 2M in debt

[tidal glen]

such as?

[lofty pond]

Always check the mission log for your settlement

[tidal glen]

you realise i dont mean gas right?

[rose seal]

uhhhh, about 6 million died

[lofty pond]

Almost 5mil in the hole, now I'm producing almost 1mil

[junior stratus]

i reaaaaaly hope this current expedition leads into actual Faction mechanics being added to the main game with wars and stuff (npcs obviously)

[tidal glen]

i mean conventional firearms not WMDs 😭

[serene arch]

I wasn't on the game for 3 days

That's the thing

[young urchin]

Unit 731

🥴

[amber tusk]

#nms-expedition message

i think the team selection is biased

[exotic lynx]

tbh with all the desync problems pvp wouldnt stick on big scale
trade war mayb

[lofty pond]

Oooop, yeah thats 3 days of accumulated debt

[serene arch]

Yikes

[rose seal]

dw, It's all over with now

[serene arch]

But what the hell were they doing in that village for three straight days to make it go that high

[junior stratus]

just something to make the factions more lively. i never see vykeen waging war on sentinels like they say they do in lore

[rose seal]

gambling

again

[serene arch]

Wait do they actually gamble?

[tidal glen]

i honestly would love a complete combat overhaul

[rose seal]

sometimes I think

[serene arch]

Oh Christ that explains it

[tidal glen]

(that comes with freighter updates)

maybe swarm is just a teaser for the next big update

[serene arch]

See now I thought this was a joke at first I didn't think they actually gambled

[tidal glen]

i say maybe when it almost def is

[rose seal]

I just wish there was a manual option for the freighter turrets or freighter mobility

[finite viper]

What’s the best way to get points? Just started

[young urchin]

points for what

[finite viper]

Or money whatever they’re called
