Squadron Pilots - Do their stats/abilities really matter? [Question]

I see some start at C Class, some at S.

Some of their stats say that they're Excellent Marksman or Reckless.

Do these actually matter? Is it just important for them to be S-Class and just ignore everything else? Or should I be looking for some that have the most kills?

Help creating squadron [Question]

Hey all,

I have been trying to recruit pilots to my squadron but everytime i do that the game says that my squadron is full, which is peculiar as I have never recruited anyone before? Also I tried going onto my frigate and managing my squadron but this message popped up.. It happened twice already so I am trying to avoid touching the manage my fleet button.

Thank you all for your help. This game really has one of the nicest communites around.

Turn off the aerial combat? [Discussion]

So, Ive owned the game since the release, but quit playing for a long long time. I recently hopped back on about a week ago just before the Outlaws release. I've always played this game for exploration and relaxing music, NEVER FOR COMBAT.

With the most recent update I find that I literally have AI pirate attacks happening every single minute. No joke. I at times can't even hop in my ship and fly away as I'll be chased down and killed by 4-5 enemy ships. I've never been an aerial combat game person, and I don't want to start trying to be one now.

Is there a way to kill the combat? I'm on PC, and just want to play my nice relaxing single player game where I explore an endless universe. I don't want to constantly restart because I'm killed every two minutes.

I'm currently stuck at a large station on a planet where I've been under constant attack from 5 different ships for the past 30 minutes. It's nonstop. I even try to run to my ship and I'm blasted from every direction.

#

Can't finish Phase 4, what am I doing wrong? [Question]

Walking through the portal during "Treasure Hunt" just gets me stuck on the other side with no way back and nowhere to go, the only thing i can do is reload my last save to get back. I don't have a ship on the other side and the mission tracker still says "step through the portal" even though i already did.

Broken Objective for Ghosts in the Machine [Bug]

I'm at the part of the quest line where I have to find a multi-tool trader. Unfortunately the base where I started this quest line is in a pirate system. The objective keeps sending me to the pirate space station where one doesn't exist. It won't let me switch to another system to to complete the objective. I've noticed that some other missions have allowed me to reset the the objective if I am in another system, but this one will not. It just keeps telling me to go back to the same useless station. Is there a work around or a way to force reset the mission?

#

Nintendo Switch [Question]

Does anyone know if there will be a way to carry over stuff from PC to Nintendo Switch when it releases? Obviously complete save files would be nice, but I also don’t want to lose my expedition rewards.

#

How do I make the game feel more communal? [Question]

Question is in the title. I recently jumped back in and was wondering if there was a way to make the game feel less single player outside the anomaly. Are there worlds that people build together? How do I join them?

Also, much respect to the NMS team. I’ve barely played NMS but even if I don’t play it, I respect the hell out of it and get excited when it grows :)

#

Are Salvaged Frigate Modules rarer now? If not, any tips on how to get them? [Question]

I'm either having terrible luck or they reduced the spawn rate of salvaged frigate modules on freighters. I watched a YouTube video on it and the YouTuber was getting two of them on the same freighter and they seemed to be abundant. I seem to be getting a horrible rate where like 1 in 10 freighters have 1 salvaged freighter module. Any idea if they are rarer and if not, any tips on how to get them faster?

#

Vr help [Question]

I’m on PlayStation 5 and I wanted to play on vr but it wasn’t booting up in vr I tried both ps4 and ps5 versions of the game but still no vr any advice?

#

Im confused. [Discussion]

Why add a squadron mechanic if you cant fill it with fighters. Thats literally the definition of a squadron. It requires that you can only have one of each ship. I have no use for a hauler or a shuttle in my squadron. Let me have a fighter squadron.

#

Friendly Reminder [Discussion]

Once you have completed the Expedition, make sure to pay it forward and head back to the first system and pop open a Anomaly. And dump all your inventory to the noobs starting out. I delete all the saved Expeditions after I’m done since all of them save on other saved games. 👍🏽

#

Expedition bug, please help! [Discussion]

My friend and I are doing the new expedition together and we have just started. We are at the point where we have to defend a freighter from pirates. When warping into new system, I saw the pirates and he didn't. Now after going to 2 more systems, no battle has taken place. Autosave is too recent. Is this a bug? Can I reset quest somehow? Pls help!

Cheap S-Class ships [Discussion]

Is anyone else finding that S-Class ships are really easy to find in Black Market systems, whilst also being very cheap?

I've just lurked at a trading post for no longer than 5 minutes and picked up 2 S-Class haulers and 1 S-Class fighter.

Possible glitch from the update?

#

Anyone else’s ship get nerfed? [Question]

Just hopped back on today to check out the new update and it seems like my main fighter was severely nerfed in both speed and maneuverability. Prior to the update the ship was capable of 11,000+ u/s in space and now it can only do 2,300. Did I just miss something in the update? Thank you!

#

Finally found a paradise planet.. [Discussion]

That is made up almost entirely of water. With a grand total of 1 flora, 1 mineral, and 9 fauna. Literally took me 10 minutes of flying over open water to find a piece of land. Sometimes I think the game hates me.

#

Returning Player, Nerfed Economy? [Question]

I'm a returning player whose not touched the game in over a year and getting back into the swing of it, found my first 3 star economy system but I come to find that all of the merchants/pilots there only sell a max of 650-750 of materials vs the thousands they used to.

Did the economy get nerfed or am I just missing something?

#

Bugged campaign mission means I can't finish campaign? [Question]

I posted on this sub yesterday about this and I played but couldn't do many of the things I wanted to do because I can't get the portals unlocked. My main campaign is bugged on the mission "The First traveler" and keeps telling me to consult the galaxy map in order to progress it. When I do, nothing happens. I have tried traveling far away but it gives me no option to restart the mission.

Am I stuck without being able to finish the mission?

Are there any solutions?

Thanks

#

Thanks [Discussion]

Asked a simple question in the anomaly and a few randoms basically solved my life. Thanks, m8. I love you.

Help: Playing expeditions mode and unable to find the base computer… [Answered]

Haven’t played since the launch of the pet update and made a new game in expeditions mode and needless to say I can’t find the base computer…. Says it needs to be unlocked in my menu under catalogue but doesn’t say where… Fairly stumped and honestly google has been zero help at this point…

I know I’m simple but what am I missing? If I recall in normal mode it’s part of a mission but memory is definitely hazy.

Please advise

Expedition Derelict Freighter Inaccessible? [Bug]

So I'm in the expedition just after rendezvous 2 where you're supposed to go to the derelict freighter, but it appears to have spawned partially inside a volcano, so I can't get to the actual part where you're supposed view the log or whatever. Anyone else have this problem/ thoughts on solutions???

#

I made a Oops [Question]

I've made a mistake, I've accidentally uploaded my home planet and wanted to name it something fancy so I clicked to "Upload and Rename" and I typed one letter and "H" and was like Ill think of a better name later and click Circle on my controller thinking it would remove my letter and progress but it uploaded the name "H" Is there any way around this? can Hello Games change the name?

I started a stopwatch to see how long it was in between pirate attacks on my settlement. [Information]

The times listed are as minutes:seconds in between each pirate attack. Timer was started from the moment the last pirate ship began exploding to approximately around the time the warning siren was heard(given reaction time to start the stopwatch so give or take a few seconds). The first four timers was when I was building my base within the boundaries of the settlement.

5:32

5:46

5:25

3:59 (no idea why this one was so short)

It was at this point that I decided to go AFK and wait for the pirate attacks to happen. Sat at my computer and scrolled Reddit.

5:37

5:34

8:58 (Sat in my ship for the majority of this wait, exited ship at approximately the 5-6 minute mark)

To see if being in my ship was preventing pirate attacks from happening I began sitting in my ship for at least 6 minutes and exiting.

7:48

8:16

Theory seemed solid. Decided on the next wait to exit my ship to test the theory.

9:47

Theory debunked.

In conclusion: No idea why the times were all over the place and why the one time was under 4 minutes while the last 4 were all over 7 minutes. It is clear the frequency of the attacks(on settlements at least) needs to be toned down as attempting to build a base was made very annoying as I kept being interrupted by being shot at by pirates. Also, may aim may just be shite but I don't think you can shoot at the attacking pirate with your multitool.

If this was the intended frequency for pirate attacks(again, I doubt it, it is likely a coding error) then we need some kind of automated defense to them like turrets or maybe a beacon which can be activated from the ground which summons our squadron so players can actually do anything else in the game...

#

Can't Do Expedition Mission, what should I do? [Question]

I'm trying to do "The last Piece" but the underwater wreck objective keeps moving between two systems whenever I try to go to the system it's in. I think the problem is neither of these systems have water for the underwater wreck to spawn. But what should I do? Do I have to start a new expedition save? No matter where I travel the objective stays in one of those two systems.

#

Nanite reward from fighting sentinels is being severely reduced. This will make fighting them mostly pointless. [Discussion]

I just saw the video No Man's Sky is Being Nerfed in a Small but Important Way, This is My Case to Hello Games Against It and thought more people should be aware.

Long story short, HG worked hard to make sentinel fights epic & fun, but if this experimental patch goes through it would ruin the whole point of fighting them.

Inventory Management [Question]

Between my suit, suit cargo, ship, ship cargo, freighter, and storage rooms 1-9, I have a shedload of storage space. And it's a nightmare. I would really like a button that took all my currently available inventory items and moved them into orderly stacks in my freighter inventory.

I can't find the function in game... is there a mod that would help? An AHK? Anything?

#

Getting into this game for the first time [Question]

Any tips and/or advice for beginners?

I'm going to really sink hours into this game, I can tell. I know nothing about this game. I'm guessing it's a survival game? Friends are getting this game as well and I'm going to play it with them.

The first planet I spawned into is a Toxic planet, fun! Already the tutorial had me running to get what I need, lovely!

Any videos/guides I should look up to help me on my way?

#

Exploring is not profitable [Discussion]

On this last update fauna discovery suffered a considerable nerf in nanites, once you could gain 10k nanites with 11 discoveries, now is 2,750. You gain literally buy nanites now in the outlaw station, so what you guys think, does this discourage scanning on planets for you? It does to me because finding and scanning animals was kinda boring

#

What Is There To Actually Do In-Game? [Question]

Hey everyone, just a quick question.

I got NMS years back on psn when it launched in a less than great state and dropped it shortly after.

So my main question, besides wandering around planet to planet, what is there to actually do?

I saw the new trailer for the Outlaw update which looks kinda cool. The new ship designs and solar sails are really awesome looking, and the sound of pirate raids sounds cool but what all have they added that's worthwhile and provides good content/ substance hours later?

#

Dumb question probably, but would exploiting glitches get you banned from the game? [Question]

If you use the portable refiner glitch to get duplicates of an item or if you sell something form your ship cargo until the economy is -80%, would that get you banned from the game?

Probably a dumb question, but I’m just curious. Having a session with my friend whose sleeping over and half the session for her is just duplicating items and mass selling it 🧍‍♀️ and I want to also for like 23 more indium because I’m lazy, but I’m nervous 👤

I’m so used to people being banned for every little thing honestly, like with town of Salem 💀

#

Specs for VR on console? [Question]

I'm thinking of getting either an XBox X or PS5 - wondering if they'll be able to play NMS in VR smoothly. Does anyone play in VR on console on this game? If so can you share your specs, and whether it runs smoothly? Ty

#

Even without glitches, the economy is now broken. [Discussion]

I know economy wasn't a major part of the game, and farming units/nanites was already easy, but the outlaw update took this to the next level.

The outlaw station sells packets of goods for peanuts. Opening a packet gives you stuff like hadal cores, living pearls, storm crystals and trade goods. Each worth more than the unopened packet. Besides that, most of these items weren't obtainable before, unless you visited specific locations (deep sea, extreme weather planets, etc).

Then there's weapons and technology packets, also sold for next to nothing, each giving an X-class upgrade. Quickly upgrade your gear or turn around and sell for nanites.

Does anybody also feel this takes out any challenge?

Can't get to Galactic Center [Bug]

Hyperdrive is full, I'm at the right planet, everything is in working order. Galactic core will not highlight and is not clickable at all even with the path pointing to it. I've tried exiting and reentering the system, reloading savegame, exiting the game and restarting it, etc. Anyone else dealing with this? Is there something I'm not doing right?!

#

better inverse kinematics for feet [Suggestion]

when i use controller and walk (half-push) it's nearly impossible to make the walk animation line up well to the movement speed. the feet are always sliding either too fast or too slow. it would be good to have them not do that (even having the animation speed be based on movement speed would work)

#

Quanrusean Empire [Information]

Hello guys! Me and my friends decided to made our own Empire (something like galactic hub). We're located in Eissentam Galaxy (10th Galaxy in game). Our empire is completely separated from galactic hub and their colonies...so this isn't another galactic hub project. We get this idea because someone attacked us in past, So we texted on galactic hub..."we need help" but since they're located in Euclid Galaxy, they can't help us And nobody told us about EisHub. So our Quanrusean Empire can help you across galaxies, even if you're not citizen of our Quanrusean Empire, we'll try to help you at any cost. First 100 will get 10 million units in A. In. Its not much but it can help Somebody. https://discord.gg/cKVC4yTeHu

Outlaws - Expedition. Can't seem to get the hood quest. [Question]

I just completed the expedition in like 10 hours and wanted to complete my space pirate by getting the new hood on the expedition save file. I have been pulsing around for 2 hours in high conflict systems in both pirate controlled and the normal ones (intended to activate the quest). I just can't get the quest to activate and the only anomalies I get to see are the traders NPC's. Is it a bug or just a common problem with getting the quest to activate on the expedition save file? Thank you on advance

#

Can planets change or am I just getting lost? [Question]

What the heck is going on? Am I just lost or is there some sort of a planet reset mechanic I don't know about?

I haven't played since initial release. I started a brand new normal game, got my ship up and running, and left my toxic starter world for the next quest planet (starter base). It's a rocky desert planet, but the quest marker dropped me right on top of a very distinct crescent shaped mesa. After finding the signal, building and then scrapping the base computer, I decided to fly a bit. Found a pod very close by, got two of the repairs done and needed an antimatter. . .casing? Sadly don't have the recipe.

I had seen ships flying over, so I flew in that direction away from the pod and found a trading post. Landed, managed to actually find an antimatter casing, picked it up. I flew back the way I came, at least so I thought based on the direction my ship was facing on the landing pad, and couldn't find the pod or the crescent mesa. I flew up to near orbit and looked around, decided to try going back to the trade post and try again. Couldn't find the trade post. Found a vaguely similar one.

I spend the next 30 minutes or so slowing flying around in the vicinity trying to get my bearings and never find the trading post I left, the crescent mesa, or the pod. Going up, looking around, repeat in circles. I find a crescent mesa that looks similar, but it has two buildings below it. Vague similarities all over, but nothing recognizable.

Fly back up, look around some more, come back down and now I'm on top of a freighter crash site that I had never seen before. Landed and came here after that.

#

Pirate Map bug [Bug]

I already get to the point come across the portal to finish Phase 4. Somehow the game didn't catch that I've passed the portal and did not show next instruction.

I kept passing again but did not work. As soon as I reload my save, the portal cordinate disappear and I'm lost now.

How can I solved this, tysm

Quest to defend settlement from extreme sentinel attack: sentinels respawn infinitely [Question]

Hi,

I don't know if this is a bug or what. I am in the middle of the settlement quest 'A trace of metal'. I got a call in space from my settlement asking for help against a sentinel attack. The quest objective is to defend my settlement against sentinels. I have spent about an hour real time fighting off the sentinels and every time I get the last one they all respawn. This has happened at least 10 times in a row. There's no end to the quest. What is going on?

2 Saves got corrupted in less than a week??? [Question]

I recently had a save that i had put 70 hours into go corrupt, Every time i try to load in after the loading screen finishes and my avatar gets rendered the game immediately crashed. Since that save was slightly old i thought nothing of it and deleted it and created a new save. Now trying to enter that save after 16 hours of playtime causes the exact same crash. Creating a new save runs flawlessly, Has this happened to anyone?

Any tips or advice would be HIGHLY appreciated!

I’m on PC and my specs are:

a question [Question]

I haven't really been able to get a clear answer to this. question from what I've seen online is there like an online multiplayer, like a server where everyone is able to play together.

I hope to get a better idea of how the game servers work before I get it. hopefully some of you can help me out with my predicament and give me a clearer answer.

Thank you

Every time I try to buy a solar ship, one of my other ships disappear from my freighter. I haven't seen any other reports of this. is it a rare bug, or am I doing something wrong? [Question]

I have six ships. I went to an outlaw system, found a solar ship I liked and bought it. I chose the first option to add it to my collection, not the second option where you trade for it.

But when I got back to my freighter, the ship I was in was gone. I went back to the trade platform where I bought the solar ship, but the ship was gone. so I went back into space and warped to another system, thinking it would show up. It didn't.

At that point, I closed the game and started it up again. Still gone. So I had to revert to my save before I bought the solar ship to get my other one back. A little later, I decided to try again. This time I went to a different outlaw system and did the same thing at a trade platform - but with one of my other ships. The exact same thing happened again.

I've looked to see if anyone else has reported this, but I'm not finding any. So did I find a rare bug, or is there something I'm doing wrong? It's been a long time since I bought a new ship, but I thought it was a pretty straightforward process.

Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

#

Coordinate Exchange Updates? [Question]

Does anyone knows who updates the coordinate exchange website or how long it usually takes when new updates drop? I checked in today to see if it had been updated to allow you to search for the new solar ships by body parts and it hadn't. (I knew it was likely still too early, but I thought I'd try anyway.) I'm in no real rush over it. I was just wondering.

#

Is there a way to increase the odds to obtain specific bonuses when installing a module? [Question]

I'm trying to get the best scatter blaster I can and I'd like to get a specific set of bonuses on it, namely:

DMG 2/3% - Fire rate 15% - Burst cooldown – Reload time 20/25%

As I see on a video that those are good. If any minmaxer out there knows of a better set of bonuses let me know.

But that said, I keep getting different sets, and I never see burst cooldown anymore, so much so that I considered the theory they removed them in the last update.

#

Early days from the new update but… [Question]

Is it possible to get the solar ships style without the sails? I really like the moving engine and what not looks really cool, but just not a fan of the sail style of ship - just my opinion - so just wondering if anyone has seen that option and where to get them if so..? Thanks!

Can't jump into galactic core. [Bug]

In the end if this expedition 6, you are supposed to jump to next galaxy. Problem is that I just can't.

PS5 overheating [Question]

This started happening about 2 weeks ago, after like 30 minutes of play, my PS5 says it is too hot and it needs to cooldown.

My setup is just fine, no direct sun on console, nor lack of ventilation, nor dust in the console.

It only happens while playing NMS, it doesn’t happen with other games.

Is anyone experiencing this? Thanks.

Can't mine for artefact in expedition because someone put a base computer down [Bug]

So I'm doing the new expedition and I used the pirate map to get the coordinates for the buried artefact thing, but it's buried near someone's base so I don't have permission to mine for it :/

My last save already has the coordinates generated so I don't think reloading and reading the map again is an option

Anything I can do? I was really close to finishing.

Cannot "Inspect Fleet" for Freighter Command Mission [Bug]

I just got my first freighter and it is telling me to inspect my fleet at the fleet management terminal to learn about my fleet's current specialization. However, not matter what I click on, the mission will not progress. I've clicked on the one frigate I had and could not do anything with it, I looked at the starship squad list, not much happened. Kind of at a loss. Been trying to figure it out for an hour.

#

Ship combat feels easier, ironically [Discussion]

I'm loving the update so far, but one thing that stuck out to me is how much easier space combat feels? Despite the new mechanics. They all just kinda slowly fly around, like on a cruise. I no longer have to dodge around or follow them, rarely need to even turn. Just float and spray. I wish they didn't change their AI so much :( Old AI + new features would have been a blast! /punintended

Allow me to make my intentions clear - I don't mean this as a "durr hurr, I hate free updates", but more as a topic to discuss. What are your thoughts on this? Oh! And I didn't get too far, but are the differences between ship types stronger now? What I mean is, are fighter ships equipped with stronger base DPS by larger margins when compared to hauler ships? I know there were some differences, but they were really small (I used mods to increase them).

#

A Way to Opt Out Of Space Combat [Suggestion]

Hi, everyone, first post here.

Gonna preface by stating I am an action gamer, more than anything. Grew up on twitch boomershooters (Doom, Blood, Duke,) and have a hankering for space combat. I love blowing stuff up, and imagining myself in a Wing Commander-esque fantasy in the NMS lore.

That being said, my significant other, is on the opposite end of the spectrum and prefers a slower paced game. Combat was infrequent, and she could always dodge into the anomaly, below a planet's atmo, or hit the station if she didn't want to deal with it. It was also fairly stress free.

I have longed for a combat update, but even I have to admit, No Man's Sky is a chill game first before an action game. Now, that may be different for some people, but even I like to just explore the uncharted, see new creatures, and just zone out.

My point is, the new Cargo Probe Deflector, is a great way to avoid those unwanted hostile scans from both stations and pirates, but now with the bee-lining to attack players on surfaces and buildings, maybe a stealth module could be made or something? Something to prevent enemy scans? I think an option for players to chill and just explore without combat, and the choice to opt-in when (or if) they want to fight) would be very welcome.

Sometimes I want to be Kara "Starbuck" Thrace. Sometimes I want to explore a planet and pretend I'm playing Solar Jetman.

Anyway, those are my two cents.

Building a base in expedition [Question]

How do I start a base?

I’m sure it’s something easy I have to do but it’s driving me nuts.

I like how hostile the game feels with the constant pirate attack bug... [Discussion]

I think I like the feeling of always being under threat until I dock on a station. Same sort of feeling I had in subnautica when you anywhere outside your sub or base.

Would be nice to get some auto AA cannons for your base to create a safe zone. But overwise I'm not patching this when one comes out, at least not for a while anyway.

Hi, playing the ‘Under the star’ mission in survival mode, I’m currently at the part where I have to use the forged passport on the station core, every time I try this it just takes my passport and nothing happens, the game doesn’t acknowledge anything either so I can’t move on to the next objective, any advice?

New Infinite Money Glitch So Easy I Found it On Accident (Bug Report/ Guide) [Bug]

Place a contraband or other valuable item in your ships cargo hold (the furthest tab to the left that holds a larger stack size) Go to any npc ship and go to the sell screen sell the item held in the cargo hold A bug causes the item to stay in the inventory meaning you can infinitely sell and therefore gain infinite profit If this has been covered already I apologise for not combing through the reddit just to make short post

Nimbus Resort [Build]

My latest creation, for your visiting pleasure...

Galaxy: Eissentam

System: Fidelis

Planet: Terra Nova (paradise planet with no inclement weather; high Sentinel activity, but non-aggressive)

There are four landing pads total (one primary landing pad, and three secondary landing pads,) so you could bring an entire group here if you're exploring with some friends. The base includes all the usual amenities.

If you decide to build here, please do so far away from mine. There's plenty of room.

what's the state of Multiplayer? [Question]

So I've not touched no mans sky since release on ps4, I did love it when i played through it at release but it was a very Empty game at the time.

Anyways I've just picked it up on PC ans have a group of friends who like to play PvE/PvPvE games sometimes with building elements.

So my question really is what is the extent of the multiplayer at this point can we do missions together, build together and explore strange new worlds as a group?

Planet biomes [Suggestion]

Would be nice to see different biomes on the same planets, nothing crazy but snowy mountains or dense forests on a planet would be cool, same with barren type planets being actually barren as most are covered in cactus or rocks

Question about Expedition freighter spawning [Question]

I am on section 3 of the current expedition, and after warping to the system highlighted on my galaxy map I received no alert for a freighter in distress. Are freighters spawning normally (i.e. after a certain number of jumps), or is there a fixed-location event that I've missed out on due to other players? Just hoping for some direction to ease my mind that I'm going to be able to progress.

#

Nanite Farm Shrinking [Discussion]

I've noticed that every time there's an update to the game my nanite mold farm gets a little smaller. I built it right after expedition 4 and when I first set it up I got over 9999 mold per run. After expedition 5 that number dropped to 8590 for no reason. Now, after expedition 6 that number has dropped once again to 6580. I'm sure there's nothing to be done about it it's just frustrating to see

My first experience with the game [Information]

Okay, so I just bought NoMansSky because I've seen a video about it. I start the game, choose normal mode and spawn in. I spawn with very high radiation levels and can't escape the radiation, so I die. As soon as the death screan comes on, the game crashes. Nice.

When will there be a Sensible Settings update [Suggestion]

Two years ago I wrote a Steam review for NMS that joked that I would only give a positive review when the game let me change settings before starting or loading a save. I had 1 hour played when I wrote that review and now I have 258. Please help.

Also hot damn how does this game eat all of my ram and CPU on low settings and is the only game I have this issue with

#

Expedition death. [Question]

I died on the expedition and lost the first two map fragments. Is there a way to recover them or will this be an issue for completing the expedition?

I could probably locate the planet I was on, but I have no clue where on that planet I died.

Thanks!

#

Screenshots cause the game to crash [Question]

This has been the case for over a year now, I'm not sure why. Whenever I take a screenshot, the game immediately freezes on the screenshot and the game just crashes. A few times it happen I waited several minutes to see if it'd load again but it never does, and I always just have to close the game manually using task manager, or the error window that Windows displays whenever an app stops responding. Does anyone else experience this, and is there a fix?

#

Crash on calling Freighter [Bug]

There's not much else to say other than what's in the title. Every time I call my freighter, the game crashes. Ive tried jumping to different systems, using different ships, using/not using key bindings, doing it from a planets surface and from space.

Anyone else having trouble with this? I haven't played since about 2 months ago after finishing the last expo, so not sure if there's any related bugs going about...

#

Base power help [Suggestion]

So I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to turn off the power in a certain part of my base. It’s powered by generators and solar panels and is in the sky. I’m trying to make a dark room for viewing the sky.

#

There’s a way to suck me back in. And this isn’t it. [Suggestion]

The idea of “Outlaws” is exciting. A storyline, wingmen, bases, improved space combat..

But let me start a new game with a Pirate’s load out, and tailor the experience so that I can start a fresh game as an “outlaw”. I don’t want to spend another 3 hrs. Repairing and mining etc.

Just give me a ship, a cargo hold, and some missions. If I need a warp cell, I’ll steal it!! 😂

Unable to buy void eggs? [Question]

I'm trying to make my squadron all living ships, so I need to buy more void eggs to collect the ships for the pilots. Problem is, it won't let me purchase them from the quicksilver vendor. I have more than enough quicksilver at 15000, but when I hold to purchase, the circle completes, but no purchase.

Anyone else having this issue, and is there a way to fix it?

#

I think there are far too many pirate encounters… [Discussion]

As the title said, I find the number of pirate encounters too many. Before the update this game was nice and relaxing and you could travel around and explore the planets at your own pace. Now there are sudden pirates attacking you. And not to mention that the sentinels have become way more aggressive. When you harvest some graviton balls, there will be a group after you, but when you try to escape in your starship, there are sentinel drones that start to follow you…pfff… Or am I being too dramatic? Could be…anyhow…yeah, too many pirate attacks…

Where to sell contraband items? [Question]

I invested basically all my units into smuggled items but when I went to sell them at the next system over I actually lost money, so where how do I turn a profit with these items?

#

Expedition question about Nautilon segment. [Question]

So, I'm trying to get the last map fragment, but it spawned in the middle of a planetary ocean with the nearest shore ages away.

I only have the base Nautilon so far, so it will take an extremely long time to get there and back.

Is there any easy solution to this? Will upgrading the Nautilon improve its speed drastically, or would farming the nanites just add even more time without making much of a difference?

#

PS5 flight stick compatibility? [Question]

Just wondering if it's actually possible to use any flight stick on the PS5 edition of NMS. I haven't played in a while and with the new update out, I wanted to give it a go with my Hotas 4 but it doesn't seem to work at all. Is there any solution to this or are they just not compatible at all. Thanks in advance! 👍

Can't escape sentinels [Question]

What are you supposed to do when your doing the expedition and you get a wanted level?

I destroy sentinels and more show up. Can't out run them. Hiding underground doesn't work anymore. When your flying you can't land. I fly forever and I can't lose them.

#

RNG can be amazing [Discussion]

I was playing the expedition this morning and was on the phase where I need to kill the sentinels. Got to a colossal archive when pirates attacked. My ship ended up getting stuck on the archive somehow and I died. Where do I end up spawning? Right next to a sentinel tower. Get the tool and the stuff. Don't have to kill 5 waves of sentinels to find the tower. Some times it's luck, sometimes it's skill.

#

How to get base plans in expedition? [Question]

I like to really over do it in expeditions and I don't just do all the objectives, I play it like I would play the base game + all the extra goals. I went to go build a base in a pirate system and realized there was no base option in my build tools. How do I get the base plans? I've seen other bases so it's obviously available.

#

What if we could take control of space stations and form our own nations/empires! [Suggestion]

First of all I know this is an ambitious thing and would take a HUGE amount of effort to implement but I feel like it would be very cool and add a lot into the game.

General Idea:

So Imagine if there were requirements that allowed you to seize control of the space station in a system, For example: "If you have a settlement of x size and fulfil y requirements you can assume control over the system" Doing this would allow you to create a nation of your own, separate from the Gek, Korvax or Vy-Keen. And you could expand it by repeating this process across neighbouring systems to add them to your "little empire". Doing this however could hurt your "relations" with the nation you took that system from, For example if you take it from the Gek your nations relations with the Gek would suffer and so on. There could even be a diplomacy mechanic where you manage your relations with all 3 big nations.

And as another thing, We could have a "battle" mechanic for having fleets fight (which is something ppl have been wanting since the beginning of the game anyways), And you could build your own fleet to, instead of going through the steps of "build, settlement, assume control etc.", you could send in your fleet and conquer a system. (Now obviously the entire might of the Gek, Korvax or Vy-Keen empires could crush you, So I propose a "system fortification level" Just like we can know the threat level of a system, the economy of a system there could be an additional thing for "security/fortification of a system" that tells you how big of a force is guarding that system and you could decide on whether to invade it or not.

Forming an Empire:

Once you have taken control over your first system you could be presented with a choice as to what kind of empire you want to have for example:

  1. A Merchant Empire (adds trading bonuses and...

Passing Ships: Pirates nuisance [Discussion]

I responded to a post yesterday that the Pirates thing was the worst thing ever done to the game. Unfortunately I had not yet seen this update. In the few days since last logging in it was added. I thought this was an older patch and it had only just been noticed.

I logged back in last night and found that now, 100% all passing ships are pirates and no mater how many are destroyed they keep coming, they never stop attacking. This is on all systems and all planets. This is insane. Pure over kill.

The mod effectively turns all players into paranoid mice, worried the cat will strike at any moment. Even if the cat isn't lethal, it is still a stalker and a constant nuisance.

Unfortunately the cat cannot be dealt with as there are a never ending supply cats even if you get rid of one.

Worse even building under ground you can hear them trying to shoot through anyway.

For this mod to be practical they need to reduce the odds greatly, it cannot be every single passing ship is hostile this this impractical, and insane. If makes passing ships into a greater nuisance than the sentinels. I think it will send away players who just can't deal with the constant harassment. No, chasing off players isn't good for the community.

on a side note:

I noticed that they did make PVP an option that can be disabled. This has been a long needed feature to stop griefers, to stop sociopath players who get no greater thrill in life than killing, or destroying what is not theirs. Thank you to HelloGames for adding the PVP off switch.

First time doing an Expedition and I'm stuck right at the end [Question]

I'm new to the game and I'm not sure how big of a deal spoilers are, so I've marked it as such, just in case.

I've made it to the final two objectives that have you travel to the center of the galaxy. I got all my 16 glyphs. I did not realize that the pirate map leads to a portal, so I started warping all 700,000 LY to the center. Realizing that was absolutely ridiculous, I used some Navigational Data and found a new monolith. I now have an active portal, all 16 glyphs charged, but I have no clue what sequence to enter them to get to where I need to go.

What am I missing to complete this Expedition and move on back to my main save? What is the order of glyphs? Thanks!

#

Closing Loophole for Smuggling? [Question]

I know that smuggling is glitched in some way, but I also think there needs to be a restriction on using teleporters when you or your primary ship are hauling illegal goods. Similarly, you shouldn't be able to teleport in your freighter if it is hauling illegal goods. I appreciate the work to make there more of a risk in transporting illegal goods because of cargo scanning and sentinels, but there are easy workarounds when you can teleport to a base, and then teleport from there to a system station to sell the goods (or do similar things with freighters that have a teleporter). I suppose I can just discipline myself to NOT use the workarounds, but anyone agree that they should be closed?

#

Immersive ship entry would be awesome! [Suggestion]

I was just thinking about how epic it would be to have the option to actually physically enter your ship instead of just being teleported into it. However, the current system shouldn't be taken out. Instead maybe if they just added an option to push a button at the side of the ship which brings out a ladder (something like star citizen does) it would be incredible! Really hoping something like this is gets added! It would allow the whole experience with your ship to feel much more natural and grounded, as the teleportation thing is something that I find a bit jarring.

#

NEED HELP FINDING SPECIFIC SOLAR SHIP! [Question]

If anyone has came across a system that will eventually spit out a solar ship with a gray body and red sails that would help out a lot! Just been warping for awhile and wanted to find out if any of you gamers have seen one!

Does anyone else wish we could unequip armor? [Discussion]

Sometimes I just think the armor gets in the way of an outfit. It wouldn't even be that difficult for Hello games to do as there is already at least one npc that I know of that doesn't wear armor (quicksilver merchant).

Liberation Reward in Expedition 6 [Question]

Hello everyone. Was watching a streamer yesterday play the expedition and they were struggling with how to get Cadmium so they can get to a red star system. I tried telling them that they should have gotten some when they rescued the freighter for the Liberation portion of Phase 1. He then proceeded to look at his rewards and they were much different from what I got.

I received the following: Freighter recolor, Cargo Bulkhead x2, Salvaged Freighter Modules x8, and Cadmium x888

I was just curious if this was because I was playing on the experimental branch and they changed it, but I don't see anything about it in the patch notes. So what did you get for the Liberation achievement?

#

How's the combat? [Discussion]

I've never been able to stay focused on this game. I'll start a run and lose interest after a few hours. The lack of combat is the problem. I love the game systems, but it's too easy. Does this update help at all with more combat and action?

Using the Anomaly for smuggling [Discussion]

Way to move save from steam to xbox? [Question]

My graphics card is fried so instead of getting a new graphics card at the still somewhat high prices I decided to buy the Xbox series S with Game Pass.

I have over 60 hours on my account and although it was fun the first time, starting from the beginning after being very late game makes everything just feel like grinding.

There's a lot of help to get your Xbox save into steam using the save editors and Nom Nom but I don't see anything for Xbox.

Please Sean [Suggestion]

I'd love an extreme difficulty mode. Like permadeath, but harder. With extreme pirates ,more dangerous animals, unprovoked sentinel attacks,ability to crash my ship and explode. In this way the pirate attacks can be tamed down in normal mode and those who like danger or chill all get what they want.

lost a ship,, how do i find it? [Answered]

I was on a planet with my new ship but it didn't have the launch thruster rechargers yet. It was out of fuel for the launch thrusters but i didn't have the stuff to make it. long story short i popped up to a space station in a different ship and now i can't find the first one to refuel it. using analysis visor doesn't help because it just shows the one i'm using now. any way to easily find the first ship?

Sentinel Quad?! [Question]

So just came back to the game a few weeks ago and I saw someone in the anomaly with a sentinel quad as their companion and I have no idea how to get it. Is there anyway someone would know how to get it or is it a glitch?

Ship Hunt [Question]

So I was doing the outlaw introduction mission and once I got into my first outlaw station I saw a really cool looking solar ship, black and gold, S class for 2M, I was afraid of buying it even tho I had the money for it, I wanted to exchange for a ship, lost the chance and I reloaded my save, i've been trying to get it again but no luck, did I screw up or that galaxy has that ship but I'll have to wait? Plus will it be S class?

#

New ideas inspired by the Outlaws update [Suggestion]

As the title says, this is just some ideas for additions and/or improvements to the game based on new mechanics from the Outlaws update:

New Interstellar Encounter: Damaged Frigate

I know we have the full freighters you can access with the beacons, but between the canon addition of pirates and the frigates occasionally flying overhead, I could see you occasionally running into the wreckage of one that had run afoul of pirates or took critical damage on a mission. You'd be able to land on it in the same manner you would to repair one of your own frigates, but scattered throughout would be various item containers containing leftover loot, and maybe be able to interact with its surviving systems to either scavenge for parts and Nanites or repair and reactivate to signal the system authority for either a reward or drawing the attention of the pirates who you will have to fight off as you attempt to leave.

New Structures/Spawns: Ground Defense Turrets

Now that we can be attacked on the surface by threats from above (hopefully less frequently in the future anyway) it only makes sense that a more efficient defense against this be developed. Players would be able to build and power various defense turrets like energy cannons and SAM missiles, each with their own damage outputs and power/fuel/ammo requirements, and naturally-generated structures and settlements may include their own versions as well, especially at higher Conflict level systems.

New Multi-Tool Weapon: Rocket Launcher

Imagine the Geology Cannon or Plasma Launcher except the projectile flies forward under its own power instead of falling. It would have a slow cooldown/fire rate, probably cost a lot of ammo or charge per shot, and might need a bit of time to lock on for best effect, but it could give some semblance of a fighting chance against passing pirate ships until you reach your own...

[Unpopular opinion] The solar ships do not fit with the aesthetics of the game. [Discussion]

Let me explain. The design and concept of the solar ships is great. But I, personally, think that the DESIGN (not the idea) of the solar ships doesn't fit with the aesthetics of the game in general.

I don't want them to be removed, no way, I want them to stay in the game. I just want to hear the community, their opinion and who knows if ideas for a future update can come out of this ¯(ツ)/¯ ?

So... I read you

How to fly ships good? [Question]

Haven’t played in a long time so I don’t understand what buttons do what and other stuff. I also don’t understand space combat.

#

Should I use a Savegame Editor to "move" stuff from my expedition to my main file? [Discussion]

The expeditions have drawn me back into this game in a great way, but now I have a problem: I kind of wish that the expeditions would tie more directly into my main save file.

I have a limited time to play--about 45 minutes per weekday--so even something like this expedition, which takes 4-5 hours to complete, could easily take more than a week of playtime for me. That investment would hurt less if I could bring more of the actual stuff I've done (and not just the cosmetics) back with me to my main game. It would also encourage me to take my time with the expeditions and enjoy them more, instead of speed running the whole thing.

The difficulty is that my main file (which I recently fell back in love with after the first expedition) is a survival game, and I really do like a lot of the aspects of survival... especially the more limited inventory space. So I worry that I'll cheapen the experience if I go too crazy here.

Any advice on how I might balance these two things? Would it even be possible for such things to work? I'm very good at following self-imposed systems so I wouldn't cheat any "rule" I did make, but I would want to make sure I got the rules right the first time. I was kind of thinking something like: 1 credit/nanite for every 100 credits/nanites at the end of the expedition. 1 stack of 250 elements for every 9999 elements at the end of the expedition. Choose any number of starships to bring over, tech and all, but at one class lower. May choose to bring over the freighter but at one class lower, minimum of c. No bringing over other items, if you want the benefits, sell them and see how mamy more credits you can eke out.

Thoughts on those? If you were a survival player, do you think that would ruin the experience?

#

Tips on lighting a base? [Question]

So I have a base made up of concrete, and some prefab rooms. My prefab rooms that require electricity are so bright and well lit, but even with a completely stupid amount of lights positioned all over the concrete base, it’s still pitch-black, except for a tiny space around the lights themselves. What’s the best way to properly light up a base? Should I just demolish and focus exclusively on prefab?

#

Self imposed Rules for Realism [Discussion]

So with the influx of new players, I thought I would ask if any of you like to make the game harder and/or immersive by playing with self imposed rules. And if so, what are they? Here are a few of mine.

• No using raw elements to fuel ship or suit hazards/life support. I have to craft something like an Ion Cell, or Fuel Canister to do so.

• To go along with that, I can’t craft out in the wild. I have to be by my ship (I pretend it has a built in replicator). Or at my base/freighter.

• No buying ships from NPCs or using free ones from expeditions. The only ships I use are ones that I find and repair.

• If I start a new base, I have to finish it or delete it if I don’t plan to. Also all bases must have some sort of theme or purpose to them.

• I don’t use the melee jump trick to fly across the world. I use my jet pack to get down or up cliffs or to get over any canyons. Also for dropping underground safely. I walk or run everywhere unless I build an exocraft or fly to my destination.

• For any long distance jumps to different systems over 200ly away I use my freighter. This feels more like a traditional science fiction thing. I find it more immersive that my freighter can jump further than my small ships. This can change though for the explorer class ships. They can go up to 400ly.

• I also customize my freighter so that it looks like my crew and I actually live there. I also offload all cargo from my ships to my freighter with the exception of any haulers that I am using for trading runs.

• Any resources that I harvest from planets have to be used right away or saved for a planned/underway project. Or stored in the large storage containers, but I don’t keep them in my backpack for hours on end.

There are a lot of others but these are some of the big ones that really change the feel of the game for those of us that enjoy slower...

Expedition rewards between characters [Question]

As someone who has never really done the Expeditions before, I must say I'm intrigued by the capes. I'm sure many people here are not surprised.

However, I remember hearing from previous expeditions that when you complete an expedition, your save turns into just a normal character save. My question is, if the expedition save is its own file, how would you get rewards from the expeditions on other characters? Are the rewards tracked in, say, the Nexus somehow and it can recognize you having done the expedition even on a different save file? How do these work?

#

FFS this is annoying [Discussion]

Started the new expedition. Blasted a sentinel depot. Chased by sentinel interceptors. Shoot them all down. More interceptors. Shoot them all down. Then more, and more, and more. NMS wouldn't let me land anywhere. Flew away, no timer countdown and disengagement. This is my life now? Fly, fight, fly, fight, fly, fight... Got a phone call, hit escape and came back to my guy initiating a new save. So not only do they come in never ending waves, they can kill you while you have the game paused. Fucking irritating.

/rant

#

So, I didn't know about the new update. [Discussion]

I have been playing and enjoying NMS for a few months now. Prior to the update, the only thing I dislike about the game was the fact that my settlement was attacked by sentinels EVERY TIME I fast traveled there. Every time!

This week I started playing and when I went to sell an item that was in my ships cargo, boom infinite money! I mean, the item does leave my inventory but the funds are transferred.

After leaving the space station, I was attacked by high level space pirates for the first time and thought that it had something to do with my dishonest riches!

But honestly, if this is the new normal, I am done with the game.

Help me love the game! [Discussion]

This has probably been discussed at length and will get removed/downvoted - I'm really bad at working Reddit, so couldn't check for similar stuff. ANYWAY.

Bought the game AGES ago and I've played a little here and there. I really love the premise of exploration and building in space and it makes me feel super happy to zoom into orbit and blast asteroids.

But thats where it ends for me. I don't know where to go or what to do. I've watched SO SO many guides, but they all presuppose that you're a regular gamer and I certainly am not that (I literally only play Hearthstone). The wiki stuff is exhaustive and completely impenetrable from a casual stand point.

The thing is. I want to love this game and waste hours of my life exploring and building. But I have no damn clue what anything does or why it is that I'm running around looking for wreckage or those weird alien landmark thingies. Had a look out for basic introductions, but they all seem to think I want to optimize and what not. The tutorial was helpful, but ultimately I don't really understand any of what I'm doing in the game. Which is a horrible indictment of my college education xD

So ! How do I get stuck in with this? Outside the tutorials and weird guides online. I wanna make money and buy ships and zoom around, instead of mindlessly planet skipping without understanding why. It seems so daunting and there aren't a lot of explanations handy.

Don't know if this is eh... weird or not. Help a girl out xD So I can impress my future boyfriend with my amazing skills as a deep space explorer xD

something never seen before [Question]

Just started a new game as my original saved I did all kinds of things wrong with. I just saw a humongous ship flying in the atmosphere of a planet I landed on. Had landing pads on the side of it and the normal npc ships were tiny in comparison. Did they add freighters that are planet side based now?

Not getting correct amount of Units while selling contraband. [Question]

So I just sold GrahGrah and Prismatic Feathers at about 160% profit, I bought in at about 9 mil, but after selling everything I had 7 million left. Is this a bug? I did the math and the numbers displayed where it sells “Sell item for X amount of Units” it easily surpassed 14 million in total, but when sold, my personal account goes up and then stops as if it didn’t get the full amount. Odd

Can't build [Question]

I'm on my freighter trying to build my exocraft orbital materializer but when I press up to open the build menu, I only get the most basic options like extra rooms and lamps, what am I missing?

#

So just an idea for some new mode [Suggestion]

A mode that let us players Liberate an aggressive-sentinel infested planet?

So players can post a notice on Anomaly to enlist some willing travelers (maybe up to 5?)

Then there would be like 5 phase (maybe) before the Liberation of a planet is complete. (it could be dogfights or some classic guerilla warfare between travelers and sentinels)

So when a planet is "Liberated", all the sentinels there will simply become not aggressive like other friendly planets since you really can't eliminate them completely (lore-wise i think).

#

A question about settlements [Question]

My settlement is very happy, at 95% of total happiness. It's also very bountiful, at 920k ptoduction, but it has only 26 people. That means - I'm in desperate need for more dudez. The only two ways I know to do that are to sometimes accept random guess who want to stay forever, and to build more living houses. But in terms of visitors I have no visitors, and in terms of buildings I wasn't ever suggested to build one. I get just "landing pad or market" choices, one after one, and with no variety at all. Is there a way to "reroll" which buildings I can make, or to get more dudez to move in, in some other way?

Bug with Holo-Terminus during Artemis mission. [Question]

I am at the point currently where it asks me to locate a long-distance transmitter. I went up into space, and did the scan, and was immediately told it was in another galaxy.

Missing Pirate Map 1 [Bug]

I’m missing the Expedition 6 Pirate map 1. All mission milestones have been completed and collected up to phase four Treasure Hunt. I talked to the freighter captain and took the freighter, but did not receive it. I cannot craft the it either. I reported this as a bug. Would someone be able to craft me one in the mean time?

On Xbox as olaithimh.

Station override in the expedition. [Question]

I was on the expedition save and one of the pirate missions had a station override as a reward so I took it. Did the mission kill dangerous plants and got the override. Went pulse jumping in a non-pirate system to try and get the hood mission to load. It didn't so I went to my normal save and have been warping to the pirate stations looking for another mission with the station override as a reward. Has anyone found one outside of the expeditions?

I know I’m literally late to the game but… [Discussion]

This game is amazing. From the details to the smoothness of the experience. I bought an Alienware a while ago but haven’t really played anything where the difference was noticeable until NMS. I’m not someone who binges games but I spent like 9+ hours on my first play. The characters, the story, the worlds, the gameplay experience. I’m just blown away. I’ve wanted to play for a while and knew it would be fun but wow. Just wow. This is a great game. This is a work of art. And I’m a n00b so I know there’s still so much more ahead.

Is the stutter when leaving planets fixed in Outlaws? (PC / Steam) [Bug]

Still hoping this eventually gets addressed. When leaving any planet's atmosphere, the game hangs for a solid 1-2 seconds, regardless of situation, PC specs, or graphics settings.

This bug was introduced with one of the updates over the years (maybe Beyond - it was not present with previous updates) and may only affect Steam players. There was recently a mod that purports to fix it.

Looks like there are many optimizations in Outlaws, but I won't be at my PC for a while.

Wondering if anyone has observed any changes/improvements here?

New-ish player here, got a few things I want to say. [Discussion]

I am not an English native, thus I am aware grammatical and spelling mistakes will probably occur. I have no idea if this is talked about frequently, if so then apologies for wasting your time. But I want to have my say nonetheless. This is not a rant, I just wanted to get this off of my chest so to speak.

With a playtime of over 50 hours already, not even done with the story (I got sidetracked but, that aside.) I feel directionless with no sense of real objective. I don't know if it's just me, or maybe because I decided to:

Find a settlement out of the bloom (which went horribly wrong considering I had like no resources), 2 abandoned freighters (the ones in space not on planets), a messenger of the atlas, a few living metalloids, set up 3 bases (with one of them being my main, giant base) and got to 30 ish planets before I got a second ship and yes I kept track of it all because why the hell not.

Speaking of which, the anomalies are great but I wish there were more, this is probably horribly incorrect but I could not find a list of every space anomaly.

With most of my interest coming from the exploration I have to admit that it's stale. Yes every planet is procedurally and yes it's not about the planets exlusively but for the little biomes that I found cool and interesting but it becomes a novelty after the second time. Just because I found another bubbling planet or light planet or whatever with slightly different creatures and minerals which look mostly the same mind you I don't get that same hit of dopamine even though they're supposed to be rare. There may be a certain amount of assets the game can use. Be it a head, body or leg. But it for sure does not feel like the 18 quintillion planets I was promised. I know there are other galaxies but I'm certain it will have the same effect. Be fun once and become the usual run of the mill galaxy with...

new colony...??? [Discussion]

Hello guys! Me and my friends decided to made our own Empire (something like galactic hub). We're located in Eissentam Galaxy (10th Galaxy in game). Our empire is completely separated from galactic hub and their colonies...so this isn't another galactic hub project. We get this idea because someone attacked us in past, So we texted on galactic hub..."we need help" but since they're located in Euclid Galaxy, they can't help us And nobody told us about EisHub. So our Quanrusean Empire can help you across galaxies, even if you're not citizen of our Quanrusean Empire, we'll try to help you at any cost. First 100 will get 250 million units in Its not much but it can help Somebody. https://discord.gg/cKVC4yTeHu

Expedition 6 Completion time [Information]

Hi folks!

This one wasn't too bad. 6hrs 45 min to complete. Most challenging part was stealing a multi-tool. I ended up getting a map to a mining facility and killing all the waves of walkers, it then shut down sentinels and gave me a pillar location, so I strolled over and got the tool.

The last task I completed was the recruit a pilot....because I kept looking for a new building part (hint...there aint one...you just have to click a new area on your freighters terminal & spend nanites lol) Probably could have finished in 6 :20 had I figured that bit earlier.

Anyway, this one was fun and not a huge time sink.

Good luck out there!

Can We Please Have the Ability to Remove the Photon Cannon? [Suggestion]

Some weapons remove shields and do little hull damage. Some weapons do little shield damage and lots of hull damage. So now you really need dual weapon systems on a ship and you need to switch between ship weapons if you want to be combat effective while dogfighting. This is good. I like this.

However....

If you want to use the Infra-Knife to drain shields and then switch to the Positron Ejector or Rockets to pummel the hull, you still have to weapon cycle through the Photon Cannon to do so.

Lots of long time players have been asking for ability to remove the photon cannon, and one of the previous expedition ships even teased it by giving the player a ship without a photon cannon.

They broke the infra-knife [Bug]

So before the last update with all the new pirate additions and changes to ships my infra-knife was the best weapon I had and fired so fast it destroyed any ship in seconds. Now it's fire rate and damage are both lower than the basic proton cannon and it's completely useless and I spent so many nanites and so much time trying to max it out just for it to be useless like wtf. Like is this a bug or some kind of stupid intentional nerf, because honestly I'm having a lot of trouble in ship combat now that it's so weak. The new tweaks to the pirates shields have made the rest of my weapons even my rocket launcher beyond weak and without the infra-knife at the strength it used to be it takes a ridiculous amount of time to take out the pirates especially if it's a big group which I've been running into massive groups a lot more since the update as well as my settlement being attacked literally every 5 minutes. This new update was supposed to be awesome but it honestly broke a lot that was fine how it was. Like why would they intentionally ruin so much by adding the pirate additions? Or is it really just a bug that they'll hopefully patch?

#

Help with Sentinels [Bug]

So I’m defending my settlement from sentinels in the mission A Trace Of Metal. However whenever I destroy the wave it says 3 remain and the ones I destroyed all respawn immediately. I’ve searched around for sentinels to kill before those ones but I can’t find any. Does anyone know how to fix this?

#

Tired of constantly being attacked by pirates? I have a simple work around. [Suggestion]

Every time you are about to take off, get in and out of your ship. That, as you know, creates a save. If you get attacked after taking off, reload that save. It takes awhile for them to attack again. On one attack I was able to land when the warning started. Got out of ship, reloaded save, pirates were gone. Yesterday I was getting attacked 4 times within ten minutes. Doing this annoying restart was quicker than having to fight and I have only had to deal with one attack in the past hour since starting this strategy.

I have quit Elite Dangerous, questions… [Question]

So I’ve put a ludacris amount of time into ED on Xbox, now with feet on the ground and interior exploration not coming to console I feel completely defeated. Having been a major trader and alien killer enthusiast, I have successfully completed my life goal on ED of owning every single ship and a Fleet Carrier. I have now moved on, and I want to get into nms. I played at launch and I loved every bit of the game, and now it’s just so much more it’s beautiful, but my issue lies with that it’s entirely overbearing because I don’t know what to do. I am very into player interaction, politics, pvp, or building a civilization with friends. I always wanted a space gang, or to basically play ark in space with l my friends. Basically I just want to know if my goals will be achievable? Like can you pvp other players? If so can it be only in ships or while on the ground also? Can I build a city and have someone randomly find it and utilize or destroy it? Can I destroy other people buildings? Can players raid? Am I able to tame creatures as pets? Can I make a farm? Fishing? And most importantly if I play with friends, i know I can be summoned to where they are, but if I log off and come back will I still be on their planet? If I have a bigger group than 4 can we all see each other if we are at the same place?

I know it’s a long one guys, and I appreciate anyone who reads/has input. I would love to have a replacement for ED that’s even more beautiful. o7 commanders

Starship appearance changed while doing Artemis Quest [Bug]

So I went through the portal while doing the Ghosts in the Machine section of the Artemist questline, and upon reaching my ship the appearance had completely changed. Everything else is the same (upgrades, class) but the appearance went from my beautiful Tie Fighter/X-wing looking ship to an ugly fighter I would never buy. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Steam controller prompts [Question]

Hey gusys. I have searched everywhere, but there is not a single mention about my problem. I have been playing NMS for 400 hours on my Steam Controller. This game had one of the best native support ever. But not anymore. game seems to not recognize my Steam Controller and shows me only Xbox prompts. Which sucks, because it was natively using many other stuff, like trackpads, paddles and so on.

Anyone have same issue? Do you know how to resolve this? How do you make it to show correct steam controller prompts again?

Thanx in advance!

Stuck on last step of phase 4 of expedition 6. [Question]

So I made it to the portal and went through. I'm on the treasure hunt step to follow the pirate map. I ended up going back to finish another part of the expedition and now I have no idea how I can locate the portal again. I went through my station list and didn't find anything.

How can I find my way back?

Freighter Rescue in Blight Expedition [Question]

Hey folks, trying to knock out the expedition and stuck on the one to rescue a freighter from pirates. I’ve rescued several and it doesn’t complete. The latest one I even accepted a freighter that I didn’t really want to see if that would complete it to no avail. The quest is selected, but won’t complete.

Anyone else having this issue or have any tips on how I might get it to complete? Thanks in advance.

Performance help please. [Question]

Hi,

I decide to try the game on the Xbox game pass for PC and thought it was great. I decided to buy it on Steam and now I'm having issues. It ran great on the Game pass version smooth and 100 FPS. On the steam version its very stuttery and I'm getting around 80fps. I noticed the steam version is using Vulcan. Is there any way to run the game with DX11 instead ? Please help.

Can't click on galactic core [Question]

I got to the point in the expedition where you're supposed to leave the galaxy but I can't click on the galactic core. I'm at the end of the line planet wise, the yellow line goes to the core, but there is no way to warp to it. I've had this problem before when playing the basic game and I eventually just gave up on changing galaxies because no solutions I could find would work. Is there something I'm doing wrong or am I just screwed?

Base Teleporter in Outlaw Systems? [Question]

I want to build a base on a planet in a outlaw/pirate controlled star system. I know that for some reason the game will not let me teleport from a regulated star system to the space station in a outlaw system.

If I have a base teleporter in a outlaw system, will the game allow me to go back and forth to places and other systems?

Any tips on getting walker brains? [Question]

I've just come off for the night after 1-2 hours of trying to get some walker brains, as ive been struggling to get one for a conflict scanner for the expedition. The way ive been trying is by pissing off the sentinels and killing them till a walker spawns, and trying to kill that, but I died several times. I just made an AI minotaur so hopefully thatll help me (I have no freinds who can help so thats my freind now). Still probably gonna struggle a bit so was hoping you guys had some tips. As for what ive got, I have a S-class multitool using the Neutron cannon with the P-field upgrade from the Anomaly, and the stun grenade things as my secondary, and ive managed to make it to a walker spawn, just die when i get there. Any tips would be helpful.

Going to play again after not playing for 18 months, should I start a new save or continue my old one? [Question]

I’ve been loosely keeping up with the new updates and additions, but it’s been so long since i’ve played that i’m considering just starting over. With all the new content, would it be more fun for me to play with a fresh save or try to continue with my current progress?

edit: for context, i beat the main story and i believe i have an S(?) class ship and jetpack (sorry if my lingo is off, it’s been a while)

Doors quit working, things disappeared from refiners [Question]

Having a really frustrating experience. I had a bunch of things refining in my main base. Went off and tried out the new Pirate system/Outlaw mission thing in this update. Come back to my base, and all the stuff I had refining is totally missing - there is nothing in the five refiners I had going. Plus, none of the doors on my biome/greenhouses work now. I had to remove power from the inverter to the door to get into them.

Is this happening to anyone else. Anyone have an idea of what is going on?

Rendezvous 5 [Question]

I'm a bit frustrated with the expedition. The freighter from phase 2 was stuck on a volcano and I couldn't reach it. I ready that if you keep warping far enough away it will restart and be on a different planet. So I figured I'd continue on through the different phases and hopefully when I get to rendezvous 5 it'll reset the freighter. I've warped about 75 times towards Rendezvous 5 and gone through a black hole and I still can't see the end. I can't really complete phase 3 since all the nautilus parts I get from the lost freighter mission.

Am I screwed? Do I need to restart the entire expedition and hope it doesn't glitch again?

Can’t see the base computer build option in Expedition 6 [Question]

Like the title says, I can’t find the option to build a base computer. I’m on mission 3 of phase one, so maybe I’m just not far in enough, but the base computer just isn’t showing up for me. Am I missing something, or am I just being impatient and need to progress through the expedition?

#

Its a question of power... [Question]

Ok so I have a question and here comes the context.

Ive built a base...its ace, plenty of glass, round stacked rooms, all that lovely jazz. I have stacks of round prefabs acting as my power plants - i snap in battaries and solar pannels and it all looks great, but here comes my boggle:

With no wiring done I noticed my batteries were charging from the solar pannels i had snapped in to another tower - the towers are joined via a corridore so i naturally assumed that if base power objects are snapped in to a structure and are within the same structure, they do not need wiring to work together collectivly.

Is that right? Do snapped solar pannels and batteries need wiring? I ask because my banks never seem to charge fully... But maybe I jist need a lot more panels. The base has grown a lot recently...

One of my nicer bases is underwater and happens to be in an Outlaw system where they make runs on it quite often. I discovered you can build landing pads under water too.

Now all I need is some defense turrets....

#

Expedition: The Blighted… [Discussion]

Having just finished the expedition, I have to say. This has got to be the best expedition yet… Major spoilers for the expedition ahead

Firstly coming across the wrecks of the blighters past victims, them threatening you as soon as you reach your ship, helping the survivors of the onslaughts truly made them feel like a real threat to the galaxy and only strengthened my resolve to stop them.

While in regular saves the regularity of pirate attacks is frustrating and little more than a nuisance to players with long lasting saves, in this expedition the frequent pirate attacks felt like the blighted doing there best to stop or slow me down and since I didn’t have endgame upgrades to my ship it was a genuine challenge to face the attacks.

Something not unique to this expedition was the increased difficulty of sentinel combat, while trying to retrieve a walker brain for the conflict scanner and find a sentinel hive, the new sentinel units posed a real danger now, I also noticed the new combat mechanics promote movement a lot more which I think is great!

Leaving some objectives to be discovered later was a great idea as it left some sense of mystery for the end of the expedition, the rendezvous were actually important and the objectives made sense with the narrative of the expedition.

And finally, the ending, finishing the expedition off with reaching the galactic core and beginning anew in this new galaxy was perfect, the soundtrack emphasising your triumph against the blighted and finally being able to rest.

Hello Games really knocked it out the park with this one.

Questions Regarding Multiplayer [Question]

I apologise if this is asked a lot, but upon researching its something I still have confusion about. I'm looking at getting No Mans Sky, but I'm slightly confused about the multiplayer.

Is the game running the same as an MMO, as in, will I see traces of other players or other players about as I go about my business. Or do I have to be invited to online sessions?

If it is 'open multiplayer'. will I be able to be griefed in any capacity? ie. Killed for my stuff, base raided or destroyed, ship stolen etc. either whilst I am online or offline, or is my stuff safe and I'm free to log out and pick up where I left off.

I am very interested in the multiplayer aspects as I love a world that feels lived in, and I remember the game upon its launch boasting the idea of a giant world shared by loads of players. However researching the topic seems to put up conflicting answers.

Any answers to these queries will be much appreciated, thanks guys:)

#

I played so long ago...Maybe some of my problematic gameplay issues addressed? [Question]

Let me enumerate some issues. Maybe that'll make it easier to respond to different points. The main point of frustration with this game came from attempts to mine materials in space. Inevitably, in less than a minute I'd get notified that hostiles are inbound. I'd try to warp away only to get knocked out of warp. I'd try to fly away, but there's no outrunning. So it was a lot of doing 180 turns to try to return fire on ships doing strafing passes. It got tedious. In atmosphere, I was odd to find locations on the map and not be able to set markers, so if I found a good spot to mine or a trader, I would get lost trying to get back to them without any aid. On the ground, some animal would start butting it's head on me, and as soon as I'd fire a shot, a sentinel would appear within seconds. Then after shooting it, another sentinel, and on and on. It'd never end, so I'd have to get in my ship and flying away at some point. \ pace stations were kind of lame. The huge station would have one lone alien manning a counter.

On a positive note, I did enjoy a lot of the exploration and crafting. I hear that's really been refined. I plan on coming back, depending on what I can hear from current players.

Help finding this ship please! [Question]

I was on a permadeath game and found my perfect ship. It was an explorer with Janus wings in white and possibly pale blue. Its name had "Speed" in it, I remember smiling when I saw it so it must have been something cute lol.

Obviously I died and forgot to save the coordinates or even the planet name. Has anyone seen this particular ship and can point me in its direction? pic added, its not exactly like the picture as I don't remember it having square lights at the front, but its a very similar shape :)

Exp 6 is hard to make money [Discussion]

Other than lucking into an Activated Indium source, can I ask how any of you are making money in this expedition? I'm struggling to make ends meet.

I got the gold rewards so now I have thousand of gold but it seems like no one values gold (ironic given this expedition is pirate themed). Even in a pirate-controlled system it always sells at a negative value.

My usual go-to is to send out frigates from my fleet but I can't make any frigate fuel (it needs to be researched and I have zero Salvaged Frigate modules). I guess I can go attack someone to get some.

I'm hoping I'll achieve some kind of phase reward that gives me half a million units or something cuz so far this is a real challenge.

How would you say the game is in it's current state? [Discussion]

At launch the game was a total disappointment and I couldn't believe that was the game we got at launch.

It's a completely different game now. Do you think it has what was promised now?

Is multiplayer still bugged? [Question]

Forgive me if I’m this has been asked to death, but my anomaly is always empty. I have multiplayer on, but since I started- it’s empty. Ive seen that it was an issue a year or so ago, but I’m not seeing anything recent about it and I’m still not seeing anyone at all. I’ve even seen posts that it was fixed. But I’ve yet to see a single player.

I’ve tried reloading, resummoning, nothing works.

Is it just me, or is it not fixed?

S class wingmen are surprisingly weak... [Discussion]

... so I got four S class wingmen, all four with almost all Excellent or Outstanding stats - figured they'd be pretty tough - but they're surprisingly weak in combat. They don't do any truly appreciable damage, just plink away at an enemies healthbars. I can't honestly say I've even seen them break shields on a single ship yet.

Am I missing something here?

I don't expect them to do the work for me - but I figured they'd be contributing more than they do for the nanite cost of a full squadron.

Smuggled goods not being worth a damn? [Bug]

I dont know it this is a bug or not but smuggled goods aren't being priced at what the game says they are, I bought out an entire store in a outlaw station and went to sell it at a normal station. game said I was suppose to make around 40 million in total but I only ended up making 11 million... is this a bug or is there some sort of huge market fee in this game now?

I'm playing the Expedition 6, and it's the first time in a long time I've played. I have a freighter, and it seems to come with one frigate. However, I want more. But I can't find any, or I'm doing something wrong. I've been to several systems, and I can find plenty purple freighters on the system map, but I don't see any green icons for frigates. I've flown around the freighters looking for them and don't see any. Is there a key to unlocking them, or am I overlooking something obvious? Thanks!

Next Update Wishlist? [Discussion]

So with Outlaws out what is everyone hoping they add to the game next? I'm personally hoping for more clothing options, fishing/underwater update, or reworks of the living ships.

Looking for a piggy back to Eissentam [Question]

Expedition 6 - lost expedition route [Question]

So I jumped through a black hole trying to unbug my 'Liberation' quest.

I succeeded but now my expedition route seems to have been scrambled - no matter how many times I jump, I am nowhere near the route. I also don't have a base to return to on the route.

Can someone help/provide any ideas? I literally need the 5th rendezvous point, everything else I can do.

A list of some stations on the route might help, in case they are part of my historic teleports.

Looking for ships [Question]

Howdy! I'm starting a new save, and would like to know if I can join up on anyone who has an s-class ship spawn? preferably a sail, fighter, or hauler. and preferably in red and black.

I'm too rich. [Discussion]

I need help. I have over 200 hours in this game. have been to all 255 galaxies. have hundreds of thousands of nanites and a very op fully upgraded S class main hauler with 9 other S class ships + an S class royal multitool with a ton of upgrades and over 4 billion units with a steady supply in my multi planet mining operation. I have a venator type S class freighter and a ton of other stuff I dont feel like getting into. basically what im trying to say Is the game feels dead now yet I still want to play because of how much I love this game. I need new things to do. Please give me suggestions or some tips on what to now that I have well reached endgame status.

Cannot complete Phase 1 of the Expedition...bugged? [Question]

The Liberation portion of the first phase is not completing for my friend. He has a freighter and is well onto his way to the forth phase, but Liberation is not finishing. He's defended dozens of freighters by now and we're about to quit because of it. Any ideas?

#

Hating the Update [Discussion]

I do love the game and the content is awesome. I am kind of at the beginning of the game. Fixing Artemis's ship beginning. Any time I take off, from any where, pirates come to attack. My ship cannot take the multiple shielded pirates that come in every time I try to do anything.

It is so over powering that I just cannot play it anymore. I really hope it gets adjusted because it is just too much.

#

Looking for a ship [Question]

Howdy! I'm starting a new save, and would like to know if I can join up on anyone who has a good looking longnose fighter spawn? Or a circle-wing hauler, or sail ship as well? im looking for all of those in particular. and preferably with a good chance of them being s-class within the system they're found in. and preferably in red and black.

Thank you!

Why are the starships so slow? [Question]

I haven't played since before the sentinel update and I just relaunched the game. I feel like my starships are so slow on regular acceleration compared to how I remember it. Pushing R2 to the maximum on my controller only brings me around the 300 400u/s in space.

Was it part of the past updates, just a bug or I just have no memory and it always has been the case?

#

Freighter Upgrade Modules [Question]

Basically do these exist? I want to add upgrades to my capitol ship like hyperdrive range (similar to my normal ship). Other than the like 2 blueprints purchasable in the main control room of your capitol ship, is there any way to get more upgrades?

#

starbirth glitched [Bug]

I'm stuck on the "cracking void egg" part. Not because I can't find the lost travellers but because if I find one 66% through it resets to 33% and then proceeds to loop I've been stuck on this for months on and off the game so if there's any fixes I need to know.

#

Weapon/Equipment upgrades [Question]

I’ve been under the impression we could only have one upgrade for any kind of equipment. apparently that’s totally false and there’s ppl using 3 S tier photon cannon upgrades?? How many upgrades can you actually have per piece of equipment?

I’ve been thinking my weapons couldn’t get any better with my one S upgrade per weapon so this changes things in a big way for me if true 😂

#

GPU utilization ratio spikes are ruining the game for me [Bug]

For the last 6 months or so I've had an issue where upon entering a planet atmosphere, my GPU utilization jumps from averaging around 75-80% to a constant 100%, and it cuts my framerate in half. If I reload the game into the same area, my utilization and my FPS will be back to normal. This happens so frequently but not all the time, it doesn't seem to be specific to any planets environments.

Does this happen to anyone else? What could I possibly do about it? It's so hard to play the game when I have to close the game completely and reload every 10-15 minutes.

#

I don’t have a base computer in the Blighted expedition [Question]

I haven’t been able to build a base computer since the start of the expedition, it just isn’t in my build menu at all. I’ve just ignored it since I haven’t needed to make a base, but I just unscrambled the last mission and it says I have to make a base in a new galaxy. How can I get the base computer so I can finish that last mission? I really don’t want to restart since I’ve already gotten a lot of progress (I only have like 3 missions left).

I think I messed up being able to finish Expedition 6 [Question]

I found the portal on New Koyntodos that takes you to the final system so you can jump to the core, but I didn't realize I needed to jump from there. The guide icon took me BACK through the portal, and now I can't find where that portal is again. Stupid me didn't leave a marker. Can anyone give a solid suggestion or help?

Exceedingly Stupid Question [Question]

I have a single game file that I started in 2017. I took a break and put another 5ish hour into it in 2019. I wanted to pick up the game again and see what it has to offer. I have only put 20 hours into the game so far (I know, a fraction of a fraction for most on here). Should I just start over from the very beginning? I am getting to be an old man without a lot of free time on my hands. Would it be smart to strat fresh and read/watch a guide to get going in the right direction?

As the title suggests, I know this might seem like a stupid question for most folk but I want to use my time as efficiently as possible because I just don't have much of it. 20hrs might not seem like much but it is to me.

Hope someone can help so I can move on with the Expedition <3

Help! [Question]

So, I noticed since the outlaw update space stations are selling resources in lower quantities. Like a space station terminal in a wealthy system would sell a quantity of 2000 ferrite dust, now the quantity seems to be around 600. Is it just me experiencing this or is this a known issue or change?

Question about the new mission: Under the red star [Question]

so ive been anjoying the new update, but i have a problem with the mission: under the red star. it says i need to hyperdrive to the system with the outlaw space station, but ive jumped about 150 times, and no outlaw spacestation in sight. is this normal or is the mission glitched? and if its glitched, is there a way to reset the mission?

#

System is messed up [Question]

So a few days ago I jumped to this Korvax controlled system. It was your pretty run of the mill system and nothing was weird about it. So I went exploring cause I'm trying to find a beautiful planet to set up a base that's nearby a storm planet. I discover 3 different planets and run around them and then decide to save and log off.

A few days later I'm finally able to log back in and everything seems normal. Until I go into the discoveries tab and find that the other planets are no longer hidden and have been discovered by a players 5 years ago.

Note: When I first jumped into the system there was no discovery at all about these planets.

But this was not all, it was now controlled by Outlaws. The Space Station that I picked up a quest from was now an Outlaw station.

So what exactly happened? Was there an update that changed my game? I tried to reload the game back to what I left it at but nothing worked. I'm on Xbox btw.

#

Are the prices supposed to be in Units? [Bug]

So I found a pirate system and flew in, and found the salvage guy. He had 50 each suspicious packets weapon, tech, and goods. The prices for them were in units not nanites...and even then not very much. I got 50k nanites in like 10 minutes.

Is this a bug or an oversight? Or is this intended? This seems even worse than the pugneum thing when the scrap dealer was first added.

Need ideas , help, Recommendations for my project! [Discussion]

I have posted a thread for a project I am currently trying to bring up, long story short I want to make a large city / central hub for a lot of No Man's Sky players. I am sorta new to reddit and don't fully understand how reddit works. I haven't picked up any traction on my current project post.

Original project located here

THIS IS NOT A REPOST!!!!!

Here is the deal, no matter what the challenge is, I want to do/make something game changing in No Mans Sky. My idea is the link posted above. If anyone has any other ideas or any ways I can go about it or hell, idk, maybe reddit posts are just slow to be viewed.

Any ideas for what someone can make for the community in No Man's sky that just requires hard work and dedication?

How buggy is the expedition? [Bug]

I was just waiting until Monday (figured the patch would have been out Friday), for them to get the hotfixes out, but got bored, and wondering if things are as bad for just doing the expedition? I watched some streams to get my twitch drops, and from the few moments I actually paid attention, it seemed mostly just visual bugs.

So, is the game at least pretty good, stable, and trouble free for just hopping into the expedition?

#

Void egg duplication [Bug]

I am rather new to this game and community so I don’t know if anyone has seen this/previously posted about it. If it is well known I apologize for being redundant.

I came across a way to duplicate the void egg (possibly other items idk). What happened was I started the quest when you first get the void egg in a friends galaxy. After a little while I was back in mine. Not wanting to go back to his to pick up where I left off (literally only made the consciousness bridge no further), I reset the mission to use local places. After that I had 2 active void eggs.

I am going to test if it works multiple times after I restart my game to see if the event was isolated. I’ll post back in the comments any updates.

Carnivorous plants? [Question]

S Class Freighter Spawn Issues [Question]

So I'm following the guides I've found to spawn an S Class freighter and I seem to be having issues. I've waited the 3 hours, spawned the battle, gone into the station to save my game as I'm told to. The first spawn is a unique freighter per usual, after that every time I reload autosave it is the same freighter over and over by appearance, but if I shoot down the pirates and board the ship and scan the freighter, it shows a different freighter than the one I've boarded. When I go to the captain, it shows the freighter I've currently boarded. I've done this 3 times now and I've no idea what I'm doing wrong. Anyone else dealing with this?

I spent almost all day mining, shooting astroids and going to various public mines to save up for one of those A class fighters in the starting system of the Expedition... [Discussion]

Made 13,000,000 space money and camped out for over an hour waiting for one to land. Eventually one did and I bought it on the spot, and was standing on the platform admiring my new ship and now ready to tackle the rest of the Expedition when it happened. An Exotic ship landed right beside me, priced at 5,000,000... And I only had 25,000 left. Oh well 😂

Base blueprint missing [Discussion]

Not sure if this is a bug with Outlaws release or I'm just missing something.

My Community Expedition does not have the blueprint for me to build a base. I cannot find it anywhere. I've looked on the Anomaly and at vendors to no avail.

I started a new game and it does not appear on my character at the start in it either, so I feel like I'm missing something.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Giving out “pirate map fragment 1” to players who have experienced a bug that causes them to be unable to get fragment 1 the normal way [Information]

So it has come to my attention taht players are experiencing an annoying bug that causes players whom are playing expedition 6 to not be given the Pirate map fragment 1.

If you have encountered this and you have completed the “liberation” milestone in “phase 1” and you haven’t received the fragment 1 please comment and I will provide you with 2 copies so that you are able to complete the expedition.

This may get patched in the upcoming patch however I hope to help out players that need it.

Redownloaded the game after hearing about the new update. I’ll help anyone who needs it.. [Suggestion]

I was active in this sub years ago and helped a few people get started on their own farms. I have a colossal farm built on my freighter that I could use because the game wasn’t stable enough to support the size of the farm. Those days are over. I haven’t fallen through the floor, even while sprinting around. If anyone needs plants by the thousand, or some upgrades, let me know. I’ve been hoarding since Foundation. I’m running out of inventory space, and don’t want to trash anything..

Clean Install vs Update [Question]

How often do you guys do a full reinstall of the game? ... and when you do, do you use your old save? I was wondering if an old save with with lots of mileage slows the game down.. or maybe doesn't match up well with a major update. .. I SO don't want to do all those beginning quests again, but will if needed.

Thanks in advance

Back after a year or so [Discussion]

It's been a minute since I played last, and I didn't backup my game files when I switched computers. Didn't even think about it. I had more units than I knew what to do with, 5 S-Class ships, an S-Class freighter, and an Indium farm to hit up when I wanted to top off the bank account.

So here I am, starting from scratch, and I wound up seeing a solar sail ship for the first time in an Outlaw base. I've been grinding money, selling anything of value, so I had enough to trade out my wee starter ship and grab it. It'll be interesting to see what it can do as I continue to explore!

#

Am I playing wrong? [Question]

Just loaded NMS up on game pass, after seeing the outlaws trailer sparked an interest for me, went on creative mode because I dont know if I'll get that much into the game, but there doesn't seem to be anything to point me towards an objective? Is that just because I've picked creative, if I went on the normal mode does it have missions? Sorry if it's a dumb question, I tried playing a couple years ago and I think I had a similar experience then when I just didn't know what I was supposed to do

Found a lot of other players in the anomaly! Is this normal? [Question]

I started playing again, on normal mode this time (I started survival and I was harder than Doom Eternal), and after 6 or so hours of playing, there was a mission where a black star appeared, inside there was a guy named Polo, and they were all about some Artemis guy. Anyways, when I first arrived there I saw some people using jetpacks but I assumed they were bots.

But after talking with some of the NPCs, some guy walked in, and I saw he was playing from a X Box. Then another one, playing from the PC. I started gesturing like I found people after being alone 100 years in the vacuum, but they didn't even respond to me. I guess they are used to it. Also, they all had those fancy ships, while mine is the standard red one. I felt silly, but happy at the same time. My first goal at the game was to see if I could meet some other player.But I saw at least 6!

#

New player. Groups? [Question]

#

PC control issue? [Question]

So who here knows how your supposed to warp to the center of the galaxy with a keyboard and mouse? As the way the game tells you to do it is not working, at least for me, in the blight expedition. I reloaded the game, tried to leaving and re-entering the system and nothing I did once I got into the galaxy map let me select the 'path' or initiate a warp to the center of the galaxy.

I had to exit the game and plug in a xbox controller. witch also has a pretty stupid default setup to do this, in order to select the 'path' then hold down the A button while still holding the right stick and was finally able to warp to the center.

Really why is it this difficult to do what should be a fairly simple thing for this game?

How the pirate raids should play out. [Discussion]

I’m happily pottering around in my base or settlement. Pirate raid begins. They see me summon The Golden Vector. They poop themselves and leave. Forever. Holy #$&@, we ain’t ever going back to that joint. Make a note, Steve.

#

Is this just a PS4 problem? I took a break after the settlement update was basically unplayable and now it's just worse than ever. [Discussion]

I mean, I thought the fact a new update hit meant settlements must work now...right?

Nope, they take forever to load on PS4, the shit is wonky as hell. Previously since it didn't work I assume they'd patch the bug that makes it so it won't let you expand it...nope. Still hitting a wall. Can't add any new buildings and at MOST some raiders come in and wipe a building so I have to spend time waiting for it to be rebuilt to even check if a building can open up...and I'm pretty positive it was just never fixed and they gave up on settlements as a feature.

I have checked EVERY settlement on my paradise homeworld...this is the only one that even let me get to the point of making my main base terminal to start expanding

Not to mention they swapped most of the buildings in the settlement so my previous work on beautifying it all went to total waste.

This is, deeply frustrating to see how little my time is respected playing this game at this point. I did the exploring, I have seen all the presets they shuffle, and so all that is left is making a home and the structure of the game just won't let me, how can you make a home when the game CONSTANTLY reshuffles the world around your work? Every time I take a break or a big update hits every single one of my bases becomes unusable due to all the mesh clipping and shit getting buried and things not lining up. Why am I investing my time in this game when every time I log back in it's just me cleaning up a mess Hello Games made?

Idk, it's so hard to log into this game and see that every update completely fucked you, that it doesn't work at a basic level, and that even when they do add stuff it's not even compelling.

At this point, I think I'm at the end of my wits with this game...I spent a solid 130 hours vibing in this game...

sentinels [Discussion]

Is anyone else getting irritated with the sentinels? I just had 8 of them chase me over 400u from where they first encountered me, WHILE I WAS UNDERGROUND!! Aren't they supposed to leave you alone when they lose track of you?

#

Frontiers mission bug. Pls help. [Question]

I've only recently got back to playing NMS. The reason for my return was primarily because eof the new ship (solar ship, I believe it was called). Whenever I tried to go to the destination where the supposed abandoned ship would be, I'll be sent to a planet, but once I land the--I don't know what to call it-- "title card" for the 1st Frontiers mission would keep popping up (its the one that flashes across the screen and you can "skip" it). I've tried pressing skip, I've tried letting it play through, but after that, and after the guide(the nifty mission guide that pops up with bullets points for the mission) pops up at the lower right corner of the screen, the title card would loop back again, and the process repeats it self--infinitely it would seem, stopping only once I leave said planet. This loop happens even if I switch my current mission.

What do I do to remedy this?

Note: I've never done the frontiers quest line. If I remember correctly, I didn't do it because the was a bug before that made doing the mission a bit of a chore... I think.

Mountains made frozen planets 1000 times better [Discussion]

I'm only recently getting back into NMS and the last time I played, planetary surfaces were pretty flat. Frozen planets always felt like they were missing something. Mountains make them so much more visually interesting and thematically they fit them so well. Massive snow-covered mountains surrounded by howling blizzards makes sense

By contrast I think sprawling flat terrain with the odd plateau here and there fits desert and radioactive planets better

Expedition 6 PSA: Sentinel Nest maps are one of the items you can get from packets of Suspicious Goods in pirate systems [Information]

imo this is far, far easier than trying to clear 5 waves of Sentinels. Packets of Suspicious Goods are super cheap so just buy a bunch and cross your fingers.

Also keep in mind the game tells you that you can find pirate systems with a conflict scanner but you actually only need an economy scanner which is easier/cheaper to craft.

#

The Last Piece [Question]

cannot find Cadmium to save my life [Discussion]

Going through the expedition but I can't find any cadmium to be able to fix the freighter hyperactive to travel to a red star.

Really don't know what to do at this point

Lost [Question]

After the outlaws update release I received the message from the abandoned vessel. I was also following the living ship quest line. So I got to a portal to get the ship first. Now I am back on activating the Under a Rebel Star quest but I endlessly warp towards the indicated location but I never seem to progress. Knowing that this universe is huge I wonder if I am going to do this for the rest of my life. Any help appreciated!

#

Base Defense? [Question]

In the new update my base is constantly being attacked by pirates. I have no difficulties getting on my starship to fend them off but at the frequency it's happening, it's getting kind of annoying.

Does anyone know if there are turrets or some kind of base defense mechanisms that can auto-defend against the pirates? If not, I think it would be a great thing for them to add into the game. Not only from a basebuilding perspective, but also brings in some QOL for this pirate update.

#

AI ship attacks need to be fixed asap [Bug]

Its legitimately no fun to explore planets anymore now that ships come by every 5 minutes and try to gun you down and theres no defence other than going back to your ship. Its made planetary traversal pointless, aggravating, and dangerous, which is kind of a shame since a large chunk of the game is based around just that.

Anyone Else's Freighter Get Changed? [Bug]

So good news; HGS seems to have fixed the bug that prevented you from recolouring your freighter if it was originally black. Bad news; my once max size Venator is now a stubby little thing.

Anyone else get hit with this?

#

Freighter transformation [Bug]

After recently purchasing a freighter I have seen in front of my eyes after jumping trough a few systems that the original design, a sentinel styled freighter has magically changed into a venator styled freighter, now I don't mind the change though i preferred the sentinel styled freighter mor. Does anyone know why this happened and if this could be fixed?

Translator [Question]

So I’ve got Artemis’s (1 word), the simple (1 word), the superior (2 words) and the advanced (3 words) translators in my inventory.

My question is do I need all 4? I mean is the advanced enough as it does three words by itself, or do I get a bonus for having the others? They do seem to buff each other as they have a highlight around them when placed together like other tech. Inventory space isn’t an issue as my suit is maxed btw

Squadrons were added way too early [Discussion]

Imo, squadrons shouldn't have been added yet. Space combat still feels like a one vs all and thats terrible. I see no point in spending more than 15k nanites to unlock the squad slots and even more to upgrade my non-S-class ones if all they are gonna do is fly infront of me and block my fire while doing near to none damage themselves. I think space combat should not be improved on the playerside but on the NPC side and me spending around 15k Nanites should actually make a difference in lenght of battles. Maybe it's just me but I have to rant somehow because I've been spending the last 6 hours trying to get an S-class freighter and the pirate battle annoys the fuck out of me

Expedition 6 warp hypercore blueprint [Question]

Hello,

In Expedition 6, I am looking for the Warp Hypercore blueprint.

It is necessary to repair the freighter.

I read that the blueprint can be get from a Manufacturing Facility.

So, I traded 2 Navigation Data for 2 Planetary Chart (secure site).

I used these 2 PC in space and 1 gave me the location to a Manufacturing Facility.

I went to the Manufacturing Facility and destroyed the door.

There was an alarm.

I went to the Terminal and had some choices (giving Carbon or Continue).

I selected Continue and nothing happened.

How do you get this blueprint please?

Thank you.

Best regards.

Free Golden Exotic in Space Anomaly [Bug]

I was walking back to my ship in the Space Anomaly and I noticed a golden exotic ship next to my ship. I approached it and it allowed me to fly it. It had the same name of my current ship and had all of the same items in it. I went through a portal to a different galaxy and tried to summon my ship and then it appeared as the golden exotic.

#

thinking of starting again [Question]

I stopped playing just before they re released the expeditions (I think thats just before emergence?) because the game slowed and glitched so bad on ps4. I was thinking of jumping back into my 500+hr file again. Looks like some interesting additions. Just wondering what I missed and any advice on how to best catch up?

#

My first experience with expeditions. [Bug]

Has so far been horrendous.

From game crashes + rollbacks to just rollbacks every time i log in... i have made sure that i have saved yet always load back in at the beginning of phase 3, which ive already completed 4 times so far...

Anyone else has this issue?

Looking for expedition rewards [Question]

So I jumped back into NMS yesterday and found out that there was an active expedition which is awesome. Not only that, but I’ve yet again missed the rerelease of previous expeditions, which is decidedly not awesome.

I would be forever grateful if anyone with an extra save could send me any of the 1-5 rewards (golden vector and whispering egg in particular). Thanks 🙏🏻

First wave exotic question [Question]

I was farming at a space station after I noticed a first wave exotic spawn. I left the system and then came back and it no longer seems to spawn… does it break it leaving the system?

#

hunger/thirst system could lead to planetary decision making [Suggestion]

Toxic planets could carry poisonous meats but nutritious plants, winter biomes could have good meat and slow recovering water, fire planets i dont recall having water.

Making the drop boxes found on your scanner serve a bigger purpose than random mats, make it have high food spawns, water bottles, burritos, ect.

Im a new player, and from what ive read i have an unpopular opinion, but ive been playing non stop permadeath, and im loving it. I just find once ive gotten out of the early game, i can toggle off my fear of enviromental hazzards.

#

Ship classes [Question]

What ship class should I invest more in? I have a fighter (C class, from the beginning of the game), two shuttles (A and C classes) and an explorer (B class) atm. Which one is considered an all-rounder? So far I've been investing more in my C class fighter as my main ship.

#

Ship drives [Question]

Do you need to install all of them, Indium, Cadmium, Emeril etc to be able to go everywhere? Or do the higher tiers cancel out the old ones?

#

Questions about Royal Multi-Tools [Question]

Is the only difference for royal multi-tools the cool cosmetic look? Or do they have higher base stats than regular multi-tools?

They only spawn from Sentinel pillars, correct?

I see screenshots but all are seemingly C-class. Do they only spawn as C-class and thus I’d need to pay the nanites to upgrade the class?

Escaping Space Combat [Question]

Just logged on for the first time in a few months and I swear you used to be able to flee space combat. Now I’m stuck locked on to ships and unable to leave. Is there any way to turn that off? Being forced to fight five waves of sentinel ships isn’t fun.

#

expedition issue [Question]

So I'm playing through the current expedition and I'm in the mission looking for the blighted freighter, the one that is crashed planet side. What do I do if the freighter is inside a volcano, along with the distress beacon I need to continue the expedition? I can't use terrain manipulator to get any closer because it won't edit anymore. Do I need to start over?

Expedition save - galaxy warp [Question]

When I warp to the galactic core on my expedition save I just get dumped back on Alph XII instead of re-initialising in the newly discovered galaxy. Are we locked in the expedition galaxy until saves convert to normal saves or am I experiencing a glitch?

#

Vortex Cube unlimited selling [Bug]

So I found 9 Vortex Cubes and needed some credits. I went to a space station to sell these for like 50k. But I was clicking "sell" uncountable times, still keeping the 9 cubes, but receiving the money.

the Request for it went down with every sale but I now went from 10k to 6.6 Million credits in 5 Minutes or so.

Is that a known glitch/bug?

Not that I don't like to have a lot of credits now, but kind of feels like I cheated.

#

Weapons Terminal [Question]

#

Is space combat getting more difficult ? [Question]

I really love the new outlaw update and the reworked space flight experience, but i can't help to notice that the difficulty is not that high even on survival/perma death. I basically press 'S' to lock on my target fire lasers a few times and finish the enemy with a rocket and repeat until everyone is dead.

My ship is not even upgraded, i understand that most people play on normal and are not looking for a challenging experience, but i feel like this game has so much potential especially when you decide to play on survival.

So does it get harder in other galaxy or on more difficult missions ?

#

Any way to deal with the constant attacks? Mods? Beta Build? [Question]

I read about those attacks being a bug that is in the works of being fixed. Having 2 free days, I would love to keep playing, but right now it's impossible.

Is there a way to do it? I have not found mods, but maybe something exists outside of nexus? Is participating in the beta build on steam working for that and if so, any downsides? Do i just have to cut my losses and wait?

#

Freighter shopping tips? [Question]

I used to play a while back and knew you could find freighters by warping to systems with the hyperdrive. But I noticed in the coordinate exchange that they'll show portal coordinates for freighters. Will it still trigger the pirate rescue interaction if you portal to a planet instead of warp? And if not is there a way to portal close so that you can warp there and get the pirate event? Or are these portal coordinates usually just to buy said freighters outright?

The Spirit of Exploration [Question]

With so much left out there to explore, I’m sure there are many groups out there dedicated to exploring more and more of the universe us players call home. After maxing out my ship, I want to help explore more. If anybody could point me in the direction of one of these groups I would be extremely grateful.

As always, stay safe out there and much love.

STUCKED IN EXPEDITION [Question]

Can’t claim Twitch drops [Bug]

I’ve claimed the last three days of drops of the Outlaws update on Twitch but when I went to Quicksilver, there’s not a “Claim Twitch Drops” option. Do I have to be further in the story? I have linked my Steam to my Twitch account so I’m not sure what’s up. Any ideas?

No space anomilies [Bug]

I’m not sure if this is a bug, but I can’t find any space anomalies, even when using items to find them (derelict freighter detector and anomaly detector). No matter how long I fly in pulse nothing happens. Anyone know how to fix this?

#

Base/Settlement Defenses Next update [Discussion]

This is all my speculation.

To me it seems like a natural progression. With SENTINEL we got better combat on the ground, in OUTLAWS we got better combat in flight, and both added attacks coming to settlements. In the next update some way to hold off the attacking forces would be a really cool inclusion.

What do you guys think?

#

Sentinel Quad Companion? [Question]

Hi everyone, I just had a question. Is it possible to get a quad companion still without the expedition? I'm sure previous expeditions and rewards will come available again at some point, but I was hoping to find a way to get a quad companion in the meantime

#

Do things like squadron pilot stats actually make much difference to the game? [Question]

Fairly new to the game (about 80 hours of normal so far) and I’m curious about how much stats really impact gameplay vs them being cosmetic, collectable attributes.

For example: has anyone ever lost a dogfight because their squadron pilots stats weren’t high enough? What impact does your freighter only being C class really have on gameplay? Or are people mainly just grinding to get S class everything because they’re collectors that want the best/rarest of everything?

For example the last game I got really grind-y in was Cyberpunk, but I could see the benefits of that stat grind every time I got into a firefight or had to hack something. In NMS the benefits don’t feel as obvious.

(To be clear: not asking to be judgey, more that I want to understand how it’ll impact my play through. I’m playing it from a kinda role play angle so far, where my character just rolls with the cards they’re dealt. Just want to be sure I’m not making the long game too hard for myself by not trying to get the best at all times?)

#

What is the new maximum stack size? [Question]

I saw in the patch notes that they increased the maximum stack size which is fantastic since I’m always out of inventory space even with 10 vaults. What did they increase it to? Is the max stack for everything increased or just the things that normally stack to 9999?

#

Walker Brain? [Question]

I’m having a little trouble with the expedition when it comes to the Walker Brain. Prior to the last Sentinel update, I knew how to get a walker brain reasonably easy, but now it seems next to impossible

I’ve laid waste to sentinels until there were no more and slaughtered a walker, but no Walker Brain.

I just want it for my conflict scanner. I know that it sometimes shows up in Nexus missions, but no dice thus far

Anyone have a good suggestion?

Is keeping pets a good idea if you want it for non-cosmetic purposes? [Question]

I have no idea where to get an exocraft, and a pet seems like a decent replacement. Are robot pets any better though? I can barely find any info online.

Also, how do i disown a pet? I adopted a weird crab tentacle thing and not only is it slow and incontrollable when i ride it, it constantly says super creepy stuff

#

The New Solar Sail Ship! [Discussion]

Is absolutely terrible. For one thing the sails ARE LOUD. I have to put my sound effects at 10 or less or it drowns everything out. It has the WORST cockpit view ever. Whoever thought of the sails blocking half your vision clearly does not play the game or what? I don't know why I would use one after the novelty of seeing a new ship. Everything else about it is great. Which blows the mind...

#

Always selling contraband at a loss? [Question]

Hey everyone,

I was able to discover an outlaw space station and wanted to try the new smuggling feature. I spent what I had in units in contraband goods hoping to turn a profit. When I got to the space station to sell it said demand was 160% and that I would be able to sell for basically 2 times more then what I paid.

When I sold what I had I barely made back what I purchased. Probably 500k less.

I don’t understand what to sell or where to actually make it worth while.

Frigate Modules [Question]

#

Network options being ignored? [Question]

I started expedition 6 and the first thing I did was to open the network tab and disable PvP. Then I carried on with my game as normal.

Just now, I land on a planet in a system between the expedition start and rendezvous 1, only to be attacked by someone in a starship seconds after getting out of mine. Luckily I was able to get back into my starship before taking too much damage.

Upon reopening the network tab, it tells me that PvP is allowed by no one, as I set it to. So I have disabled multiplayer completely until I complete this expedition.

I don't understand why such a thing was possible when my options shouldn't have allowed it.

#

Looking for expeditions rewards eggs [Question]

Hi,

I missed on the last couple expeditions, i had no time available to do them... So i missed on the awesome rewards. I know cosmetics like jetpack trails are long gone but i heard that some players kept companion rewards (horror, worm, sentinel dog) as eggs, and i was wondering if someone in that position was willing to trade those rewards with me ? I ideally need the 3 of them but any number would be awesome.

Thanks in advance for your help !

#

Seems that the enemies spawned by Horrific Nests on Derelict Freighters don't attack if you have no weapon installed in your multitool. [Bug]

Maybe this is a known issue and I was just not aware of it, but I just realized that the hostile creatures that are spawned on derelict freighters by horrific nests will not attack at all if your equipped multitool has no weapon.

I was running a derelict yesterday in the expedition, and accidentally had equipped a crappy multitool that I had just acquired from a sentinal pillar, just for the sake of checking off that milestone. It had no weapon installed.

I accidentally disturbed one of the nests, and to my surprise the little bugs just ran around and never attacked. It makes looting that type of derelict super easy! No more slow walking around, or holding still to wait for a nest to stop pulsing. Let them hatch! What do I care?

Now, I didn't really test this experimentally, so maybe it was a one-off glitch caused by something else, but having accidentally gone in with no weapon equipped is the only thing I can think about this freighter run that was different from the many other times I've done one.

Can anyone confirm my diagnosis, or let me know if it was a known issue already?

#

Solar Ship inventory size [Question]

Good day and happy Easter, fellow Travelers!

I was wondering if anyone has found a Solar ship with 48 slots? I've seen a couple of reddit posts here in this community showing them off, but I feel like they're using save editors... because all I have been able to find are max 25-slot main inventory solar ships.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

PSA: Don't go back through portal in Expedition 6. [Information]

DON'T GO BACK THROUGH PORTAL IN EXPEDITION 6.

I did thinking none the better. lol boy was I wrong.

I had to figure out my way back to the rendezvous 4 system and then re-find the portal at rendezvous 4 because none of those comm balls littered around portal would show up. I eventually found a set of coordinates to portal to a system near the center. I looked at galactic map and saw the green line appear again. I realized you had to jump from rendezvous 5 system to core for the expedition to trigger. So I had to jump from one system to the next around the galactic core to get to the rendezvous 5 system again. Jump in jump out, repeat 20+ times. I think I was close to opposite side of core. Finally made it back to rendezvous 5 system and jumped to core to finish expedition.

#

Possible bug? Same crashed starship spawned repeatedly. [Bug]

I decided yesterday to do some crash site hunting on one of the moons in the current expeditions first Rendevous system, when I had this weird experience.

I used a Transmission Tower to locate a crash site, it was an A class shuttle. Claimed it. Then I used maps to locate another site, it was the same A class shuttle. Claimed that one too. Located another site. Again, same A class shuttle. Same name, same model, but the installed upgrades on the three ships were different each time.

So that was three sites in a row, with the same ship model, and all of them claimable, no NPC.

On the fourth site, I could see from the air as I wa landing, that it was again the same ship model, and it was for sure claimable, no NPC pilot. I clearly saw the distress beacon, and landed next to it. But just as I got out of my ship, and scanned it to see its class and size (same as the other three), the game crashed. When I loaded back in from my autosave, though, the crashsite was no longer claimable. There was an NPC pilot now, and the distress beacon was gone.

It is this that makes me wonder if this was a bug of some kind. Finding 4 in a row of the same ship, all apparently the same class and size, with no "living pilot" sites in between, would be statistically unlikely, but entirely possible. But having that last one change to an NPC site after the crash/reload makes me wonder if before that the game was somehow incorrectly rendering the same crashsite over and over and over. Makes me wonder, if it hadn't crashed, if I could have just gone on claiming copy after copy of that A class shuttle.

(The three I did claim all gave me a storage augment and hyperdrive and shield upgrades, so it was a nice little boost for my main ship to start out the expedition with)

#

Expedition #6 Void Egg [Question]

We are given a Void Egg as part of the expedition rewards this time around.

I never actually saved up enough Quicksilver to get a living ship before, so I figured I would just keep playing through on this save.

Well, the Void Egg wants to go to a specific planet in the Euclid Galaxy which wouldn't normally be an issue. However, as far as I can tell... the expedition does not start us in the Euclid Galaxy.

If we did start in Euclid and I just didn't notice, we aren't given the Base Computer blueprints until after we leave the Galaxy we start in.

How would I get to Euclid without having one of my own bases to teleport to?

Should I start new game? [Question]

Selling Items from Starship Cargo Glitch [Information]

How glitch works: -Move items like Cobalt or Activated Indium to “Cargo” slots on starship. - Use Portal in space station to travel to another space station you’ve discovered. -Sell Items at the space station from starship cargo, crash economy. -Portal to another space station and repeat.

Had other users test and verified it worked.

New player - What's the gameplay loop after all the updates? [Question]

I haven't played the game for years but been thinking about jumping back in to check out the updates. What's the gameplay loop right now? Back when I played (after the first update that "revived the game"), I enjoyed the visuals but there wasn't much past that. At the end of the day, I didn't see the point of jumping between planets when my base was on a single one and I found moving around just to gather materials pretty boring. I love the idea of flying around in space and the visuals of the game always pull me back but I usually need something besides exploring and resource gathering to keep me hooked

Have they introduced any mechanics outside of base building and resource gathering/collectables? What do people recommend I check out/do first?

The Pirate attacks could be toned down [Discussion]

To be honest, I am getting a bit annoyed at how often my gameplay is being interrupted by hostile attackers. Anytime I go to my settlement it gets attacked within minutes, sometimes twice in a very short amount of time.

Is there a set of missions or something I haven't found yet to scare off the pirates or make my settlement able to defend itself?

#

missing expedition pirate map part 1 [Question]

#

Sad, Buggy Days. Any help? [Bug]

With the announcement of the new Outlaws update, me and my roommate decided to hop back into NMS and try out all the stuff we missed after taking about a year long break. Sad to say, coming back the game was waaaay buggier than it was last time we played. Quests don't work, collision issues, derelict freighter doors refusing to open. Its the worst state I've seen the game in. It did seem to work in singleplayer, but now my 'A Trace of Metal' quest is busted. I went to take my drone off the network at the Sentinel tower, killed all the guard sentinel's, but it keeps saying theres 1 Sentinel left, when there are none around. I left and came back after a reboot, but its the same thing. Anyone know a fix?

#

Loving the new solar starships! [Screenshot]

And here's my first...

Nephalim

Nephalim (stats)

Nephalim (in flight)

Nephalim (in orbit)

Overall, it's a really good ship. I consider it the best all-arounder in the game currently (and better than Exotics). Obviously, it's not quite as good at any one thing compared to the respective counterpart. In other words, Fighters are still capable of doing more damage, Explorers still have better hyperdrive range, and so on. But when fully loaded, the stats are very respectable AND of course, it's got cool animations.

If you're looking for a cool one of your own, here's a YouTube video link to a system that has plenty. Hope you all enjoy these new ships as much as I am!

I found a weird structure in the middle of space, sent me somewhere I thought I wouldn't go. [Information]

I just finished the intergalactic milestone for expedition 6 and I was heading to the space station to buy some stuff. Then I found a portal like structure and so my curiosity got the better of me, so I tried to go into it.

I didn't expect it to work, but it did. I didn't think much of it and thought it would send me somewhere in the galaxy like a black hole would.

Once the loading was done, I was transported to a normal looking system, but wait, that planet was discovered by hello games. I don't know how, or why but that portal I found teleported me BACK to the galaxy I had just gotten out of.

I am now 708,724 Light-years away from the galactic core, and very confused.

(Don't worry I'll be able to get back via the space station next to the core)

Expedition 6 not working [Bug]

I was made aware that Expedition 6 had dropped April 14th but for some reason I am unable to play it. I have a stable internet connection I let the update install I did all the works but it's just.not letting me.play it. I had the same problem with Expo 5 and it's getting to the point where I just avoid the game bc of it. Any ideas or suggestions would be great.

Golden Vector cargo bay size [Question]

Hey all, I grabbed my Golden Vector to run though the expedition the other day and it came with a cargo bay with 28 active slots and space for more. However, over on my main save, the Golden Vector I’ve had since the expedition was re-run got only 3 active slots and seems like it can’t be upgraded to anywhere close to 28, let alone the actual maximum of the ship in my expedition save.

What’s up with this? Is it possible to get that larger cargo hold on my main save? I spent 2 billion units on upgrades and only got a couple of cargo slots out of it. The size of the ship on my main file is disappointingly small after getting used to the expedition one.

#

contraband selling but not removed from inventory? [Bug]

Im sure this is just an early update bug but im just checking if i'm the only one or if this is actually not a bug. but my contraband items would sell and the demand would drop, but the item remains in my cargo. Any fixes or should we just wait for these bug patches

#

what is this game exactly about? (in the state right now) I need some help [Information]

I don't know if this falls under the rules, but it's not about should I buy it (I mean kinda) but more about what the game is now.

I read many things and from what it seems it looks like many things. Flight/Space Simulator Base Builder Shooter/Space Shooter Exploring

I read the flying is held rather simple, so not really a flight simulator. You can build bases and gather resources. You can shoot things, but I guess it's just there and not part of the core gameplay. From what it looks, its most about exploring? Like exploring new planets, but what I don't really get, is what can you do on each new planet, because all the other parts of the game don't seem to be part of the core gameplay. What I understand is, that it's mostly single player? With some form of multiplayer, but mostly focused on single.

I heard a a lot of good things with every new patch and that the game got better and better. With all the updates over the years, its difficult to tell what the game is right now. It really looks interesting, but I have no idea how I should feel about the game and what it is.

I hope this hasn't been asked too often or is against the rules, but with all the updates over the years its difficult to tell what the game is right now and what got added or changed over the years.

Thank you for all the help!

Help with getting my progress back? [Question]

So I tried out NomNom Save Editor so I could give myself some expedition items that I didn't want to grind for and when I saved I lost 8 hours of my in-game progress.

The save editor has a backup saved from a few minutes before this happened but I don't know how to apply it?

Google just tells me to paste the contents into the save folder, but I have the Xbox/Microsoft store version of the game so everything is encrypted. Can someone please help me get my progress back? I have used a UWP Dumper to make (duplicate?) game files but I can't seem to find a spot for save files.

I'm really sad because I lost all the progress I've made since April 4th. Please help if you can.

storyline *broken * - Nadas crashed freighter [Bug]

Hey so I bought this game recently, loved it, but now my game seems totally broken after investing 40 hours in it.

When I went to Nadas crashed freighter I kind of rushed ahead and read the log without looting the cargo containers first. Now the ball in the centre will not interact with me at all.

I read online that you need to find another crashed freighter to fix this bug, so, found another, looted all the cargo containers. This time, the ball in the middle has 2 options : Read Log and Leave.

Read log shows me a bit of a log, then kicks me out. The mission shows as still outstanding and it does not ever ask me to spend encryption data to do so!

I was PERPLEXED until I've seen on YouTube that the dialogue looks different for other players and you can actually SPEND data to view the log? (mine just says 'View Log'.

So looks like my game is broken and no way to fix it apart from restarting.

Years after release this game cba to fix a bug which is widely reported on here and elsewhere. I want my money back to be honest but before I launch a complaint, does anyone have any ideas I haven't tried to fix it?

I've done about 4 crashed freighters now - all the same.

How to claim Twitch Drops on Xbox? [Question]

I've been watching the streams this weekend for the twitch drops, but how does one reclaim those items once eligible in the game?

I saw Jason Plays on YouTube show a video clip that you need to go to the Quicksilver synthesis companion to claim the items, but there's no option there for that.....!

Is there another way I need to do this?

Freighter summoning difficulties. [Question]

Ever since the Outlaws update, I have been having a harder time summoning my freighter. Either too close to planet (even after flying quite a distance away) or a generic "Cannot summon freighter here". I have to spam click my mouse until it finally summons.

Anyone else notice this?

What do I build next? [Question]

I’ve built giant activated indium farms and now I’ve built a stasis device farm as well. I love the technology and practical building in this game but I don’t know what to build next. Is there something else in the same vein that I can make? I don’t care about the units I just want a new project to work on.

Expedition 6 / Rendezvous 3 -- Feels real far away, did I mess up? [Question]

I had an issue with my crashed freighter during this Expedition that I posted about here. The tl;dr was I had to go through a black hole so the game would spawn a new freighter for me.

Now I'm trying to get to Rendezvous 3 and it's taking... a long time. I've got a jump range of about 900 (well over what the map will show me) and I've just been leaping forward for hours. I was fortunate enough to find a super active planet with a ton of Storm Crystals along the way--but this feels like it's well beyond the scope of "a considerable voyage."

Is the Rendezvous set to a specific planet? And if so, did going through the black hole all but toss me entirely in the wrong direction? And lastly, is there any way to get back to the "right" part of the galaxy?

Bugged Quest, Please Help Me [Question]

I'm trying to do one of the main quests where you'd have to find a Holo Terminus. But unfortunately, it spawned INSIDE OF A VOLCANO. I couldn't even mine inside and I'm desperate. I've tried travelling Light Years away so that it might reset the quest but it just tells me to go back to that system.

I've tried finding a black hole through the warp map but felt like forever so ditched that idea.

Can someone please help me? I'm on PC so I'm interested in any method, like editing save files, finding a way to no clip, etc.

Can't create base in Expedition 6? [Question]

Is it just me that can't create a new base in Expedition 6? I looked at the older threads and didn't see any posts about it, so I'm guessing it's just me?

From what I can tell, I won't need a base for the objectives, though I suppose I could grow gravitino balls on the freighter.

Unplayable since update [Bug]

Ever since the last update, I can't leave my ship without getting wiped out by a squadron of hostile ships. Everytime I land somewhere and leave my ship, I'm getting absolutely butt fucked by hostile ships flying around me. Definitely an increased amount of hostiles on land and in space now. I literally can't play it.

Issues with the "Under a rebel star" quest [Bug]

First of all: I tried restarting the mission, it would not let me. It would not let me even if I teleported to a different Galaxy altogether and that usually works.

My problem is this: The mission goal reads "The distress call has prompted an alarm, corrupted sentinels remaining: unknown"

There is no marker as for where I am supposed to go.

Anyone else having this problem?
