We have a little shortage of parking slots at he moment, please stay calm. [Screenshot]

Something broke on this station. A lot of NPC starships outside the station just stuck next to the entrance, I was not even able to star landing procedure for a few minutes, my starship was just bumping into the walls. Here is what was going on inside.

Can’t sell to Salvage Dealer [Question]

So I found a salvage dealer in an outpost in a pirate galaxy who I should be able to sell Nitrogen Salt to for 48,880 Nanite Clusters. I crafted some but it’s greyed out. Am I maybe not far enough into the main quest?

Sorry if stupid question but can’t seem to find the answer anywhere!

not enough units after sell? is it a bug or am i doing something wrong? [Question]

I buy the illegal goods on the pirates space station and sell it in 3 star systems but everytime when i try to sell it i don't really get profit. i didn't remember at how much i bought the goods but before i sold i had 235M Units. The sale should give me 18M but it stopped going up at 242M units at my account. Am i doing something wrong or is it very buggy?

Ship inventory selling glitch / dupe [Bug]

Hi everyone,

I have encountered a very weird glitch (or maybe even bug) in my game. Almost every time im at a space station selling stuff, as soon as i start selling items from my ship inventory some of them actually remain in my inventory despite me getting the credits for them.

It does not matter what kind the item is, could be basic ferrite or even some expensive stuff. Right now i can spam selling "Buzzing Reservoir" for about a Million each. This is annoying, I want to play the game in a legit war - not cheat my way to glory. Really ruins the experience for me.

Anyone else encountered this problem?

PS5 Performance [Bug]

Hey

I bought NMS on ps5 after having it on pc for quite some time. the game is stuttering frequently on the starting plaent making it hard to play. is this a common issue? or is my ps5 completely fucked?

thanks

#

so what's the deal with squads? [Question]

Is there a breakdown over how they work and what I do with them? It's kind of dope. We fought a pirate raid and now they're cruising with me in the sky. Is this something I can do whenever or do they only appear during raids?

#

A PSA for anyone who has heard about the money glitch. Don't use it. [Information]

As a Day 1 player, this is mostly for the newer players. Yes, you can use a glitch to give infinite money/nanites. But please don't. It will ruin the experience for you. NMS is about exploring the galaxy, and building from the ground up. Quite literally in some players cases.

Having instant access to everything defeats the purpose of playing it, as there's suddenly nothing left to strive for. I've seen a few friends take this route, and the game got old for them real fast. A few started new games and are still here thankfully, but the rest just simply got bored.

This isn't a post telling you how to play the game. It's just an old Traveller sharing his opinion. Take it as you will, fellow Travellers, and I'll see you in the stars.

#

Constant stuttering any fix? [Question]

Basically trying to get into the game but any planet with lots of vegetation is a nightmare of stuttering.

I run it at 1080p on a 2060Super, 16gb ram, tried it on SSD, HDD etc no difference. So far I've spent several hours troubleshooting it. Tried all in-game settings, then tried using NVidia Vsync and FPS limiter etc.

Nothing has made an impact. The fps never drops regardless of settings. Everything on Ultra 60fps and stuttering. Everything on the lowest setting still the same. VSync off, still stutters. Tried using DLSS, still stutters exactly the same. FSR still the same.

It seems that the stuttering occurs when the game has to load assets into view such as when you move or spin the camera. Barren planets still stutter but due to having less vegetation they stutter less. More dense planets are stuttering constantly.

Anyone knows of some secret fix that could help me have smooth gameplay?

#

How do I reach certain coordinates? [Question]

I found a set of coordinates where I can supposedly find a cool ship (07FC:007D:07F7:017B). However, I don't have a clue how I'm gonna reach them. Is there a way to locate specific coordinates?

#

Weird bug when selling goods [Meme]

So I went to a space station with a stack of 9999 Indium, and when I hit "confirm", the Indium disappeared! 😮

Anyone else had this issue?

Yes, it's a joke, trying to counter the hundreds of posts about the resell bug.

#

inescapable sentinels. [Discussion]

Sooo I got on a planet that had inescapable sentinels, got in trouble and dug inderground. Well that wasn't working like it normally does. So next thing I try is fly into space and go to another planet. Not only did the wanted level not go away but they followed me all the way to the new planet which does have absent sentinels. So when it says inescapable it means you cannot get away. Unless you go to the anomaly like I did lol.

#

How do I land a spaceship? [Question]

I know, this sounds like a dumb question, but when I tried to land my spaceship at a waypoint after I returned from the space station I just crashed into the floor over and over again trying to land. I can't slow down below 20u/s and when I touch the ground I just bounce off and spin like crazy. It's so confusing. Am I doing something wrong? Please help.

#

Found a bug the other day... i could get around 1 billion units in less than 30 mins [Bug]

Build my new active indium base. Everything normal.

But im a little lazy of walking arount the base so i made an extension of the mining extractor's storage right next to my portal inside a cube building i made. I waited a couple of minutes until it had less than 50 % of capacity.. but there was something curious.. When i retrieved the activated indium, i got it on my exosuit, but i could retrieve it over and over again as long as i wanted. I filled like 2 exosuits hahah. I could keep going but i didnt want to ruin my game and erased the base forever. I somehow still feel guilty though. (I had like 700million and i wanted to reach to 1 billion for the first time and i did it... exploiting that bug, that moment.) But i erased it :( xD

I remember i got adrenaline when i was retrieving all that indium

That was my bug report. Hope u enjoyed reading my regrets. Blessings

slow ships in atmosphere [Question]

So since the new update (I guess?) there are these ships warping into the atmosphere of the planet I'm on, moving slowly before warping out again and doing absolutly nothing in the meantime. What are those supposed for?

#

What do you do to relax in game? [Discussion]

I mean RELAX relax (because the game is already rather relaxing)… but when you’re not grinding for upgrades, or to find your favorite ship, multi-tool, or planet… what do you do?

#

Expedition Maps [Question]

This is the first expedition I’ve played and I have just finished phase 3 milestone 4. I have taken the map from the underwater beacon but it says 3/3. Someone randomly gifted me #2 on the anomaly and I can’t find how to get the first one.

#

NMS is still not a game (but a prototype). [Suggestion]

I'm a day 1 player with 100 hours+.

I've uninstalled this game 6 or 7 times to try it again at each update. I'm always disappointed with it.

Why? The answer is simple: there's a lack of dynamic and organic content. Stuff like these: Destroy planets & defend your planet with your bases (from invaders?) Conquer and manage an empire of planets/systems that you can claim and dominate (and lose) A unique mystery/item legendary to find on each planet with vague tips to find it. A true treasure hunt which reveals some lore and requires skill, patience & intelligence. A unique giant/legendary animal to find & potentially fight on each system or planet. Something like 100meters high. Something like Shadow of Colossus.

This game lacks mystery and strategy. If you introduce these 4 things in the game, it stops being a prototype and becomes a real game. 6 years after the release it's still not a game. You just hop to a planet, see a few stuff around for a minute, grind resources. Planets are still extremely similar from one to another and there's never something unique to find, something mysterious which motivates to explore each planets.

I played a few hours this update and uninstalled again.

Can I get back to Euclid on my Expedition 6 save? [Question]

Hey everyone!

Well, my question is in the title, can I get back to Euclid on my Expedition 6 save?

I'm in Paholiang after finishing the Expedition, and I'm here for a while.

(so no recent stations in my backlog)

I thought about making this my new main save, but I would love to get back to Euclid for some Ship / Freighter hunting using /r/NMSCoordinateExchange/

What I gathered from my research are the following possibilities:

  • get back via someone's base

this seems to be the "normal" way, but since you only get the base-computer blueprint AFTER you already arrived in Paholiang, that's probably not working?

  • editing my save file

I'd rather not. I'm tech savvy, that's not the problem. But I'd rather keep my save "pure".

  • finishing the full round trip of another 165 galaxies to arrive in euclid again

Yikes. Not gonna happen.

Any ideas of how to get back there? Or better start another, fresh save?

Thanks in advance and have a great day!

Storage Containers (rant?) [Discussion]

I feel like it’s kind of bull that my suit has twice the amount of storage compared to the storage containers they are massive but can only handle what 20 items!? AND it’s a limited number of said items (depending on what it is) I just feel like they should have at least 50 slots or close to the same amount as what you have in your suit. And the fact that you have to go to each individual storage container to gain access to items is kind of annoying… I do however like the fact that if you put storage in your freighter then you can access them from your main menu however that’s only if you are on the actual ship unless I’m not aware of any items that allow for planetary/ freighter exchanging I know they have those boosters for item transfer but they don’t really seem to do anything? Anyway sorry just had to get that out. Games amazing but this one thing and I’m sure there are others that don’t bother me but may bother someone else… if anyone has anything they want to rant about on this game rant away!! 🙂

Temple of Atlas [Build]

My latest (little) project. It's fairly simple - nothing elaborate - but worth visiting.

Temple of Atlas

Galaxy: Eissentam

System: Proxima

Planet: Ganymede (paradise with water, no inclement weather, and no Sentinels)

Please feel free to build a base on this planet. It's perfect for it.

Bug - Under a Rebel Star [Bug]

PC/STEAM Platform - Event triggered and this issue occurred after today's patch. I did not have the quest before.

So I stumbled onto the sailor for the beginning of Under a Rebel Star, received the communication... and then nothing happened. The quest is always active, no matter what I do, and flashes red saying "The distress beacon's log has triggered and alarm! Corrupted Sentinels remaining: Unknown." I also cannot reset the quest.

Scanning reveals no freighter. While I got a confirmation of coordinates, none appear. Things tried: Going to each planet in the system and scanning on the starship and on foot (no change) Logging out and in (no change) Going back to the approximate location of the initial anomaly event. Reset will not trigger, attempts to prompt the reset option include: Black Hole jumps (4 so far, no avail) Changing galaxies using a portal back to Euclid (no dice)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

#

Ship cargo [Question]

I haven't played since probably before the companion release. I returned to find my hauler did not have all the cargo slots upgraded/ purchased. Can someone remind/ inform me; did ships always have a cargo tab or was it just the main inventory and technology? Trying to figure out if the missing slots are just new or if I lost them.

Outlaws Update 3.87 Patch (Now Live) ..... for the clicking-link-challenged people out there that just want a summary of the changes. [Discussion]

Fixed a number of issues that prevented pirates from attacking planetary buildings with the correct behaviors. Fixed a general issue that caused pirates to attack planetary buildings too frequently. Pirates will no longer attack players who are underground, underwater, or in their own base. Pirates no longer attack planets in low conflict systems. Fixed an issue that could cause the pirate raid warning message to display when there was no pirate attack incoming. Fixed an issue that caused pirates to deal too much damage when shooting at the player on the ground, and for the player to receive ship-related warning messages when hit. Fixed an issue that caused pirate raid markers to fail to clear from buildings when the raid ends.

  Fixed an issue that caused smuggling items to sell at an incorrect markup in regulated stations. Reduced the effectiveness of the Positron Ejector against starship shields. Hauler starships can now upgrade their cargo inventory to a greater capacity than other ships. Fixed an issue that could cause items in the ship cargo inventory to be incorrectly cleaned up when sold. Fixed an issue that caused repair kits to be too expensive when purchased with tainted metal.

  Fixed a number of glitches and other visual issues with player capes. Fixed an issue that caused squadron ship engines to be very loud while flying in formation. Fixed an issue that caused the solar ship engine vents to constantly flap open and closed in the inventory menu. Fixed an issue that could cause the camera to be out of focus when repairing or installing ship technologies while onboard the ship. Fixed a number of instances of missing audio effects. Fixed an issue that caused the starship utility menu to open on the wrong option. Improved the appearance of freighter fleet...

Where does the game go from here? [Discussion]

I can't help but feel that following the latest update for NMS that the game is winding down in terms of new features being added to the game, and there aren't really any large scale plans at Hello Games to tie things together. The complete lack of any 'end game' content (ie things to do once you've completed the main story and maxed out your build) is honestly incredibly frustrating as I want to find new things to enjoy about the game, but feel like I've seen everything and that the grind to get to that 'end game' wasn't rewarded in any way as the gameplay remains the same from the start to the end.

I'm very interested in hearing what the rest of the community (especially those who've played since launch for hundreds of hours like myself) thinks of the state of the game, where things should go next, what you hope will be added or improved, and what (if anything) is keeping you coming back for more. I really want a reason to stay invested in this game and it's community.

Am I the only one with the random every-5-secs freezing/stuttering problem on PS5!? [Bug]

Just bought the game, I get weird stuttering that follows the exact same pattern every time it happens: happens every 5 seconds, and it's two freezes following each other (first one shorter than the second one). Very routinely happen, and happen everywhere, even in the menu when the game is paused and I'm moving around the options. Really ruining the experience and I feel like there has to be a silly fix because I haven't found anyone else complaining from the same issue! Everyone actually talks about how smooth the game is on PS5 so why only me :[ (it's as if it's constantly trying to load something. I even tried to disconnect from the network thinking it has to do with a repeated attempt of connecting online or something but that wasn't it). help plz thx

Endgame Stats thread [Question]

hello fellow Interlopers! Yesterday various posts talked about Ship and weapon stats so I would like to discuss some arguments that I feel need some attention, clarification or I think that would benefit from small changes.

This are my personal opinions on the subject, I'd love your feedback A tutorial of how to minmax Modules (boxes over rows, 6 mods explanation for Inventory/tech) is needed Exosuit should have numerical stats displayed for:

  • shield strenght (hp or % damage reduction)

  • time before 0 protection in each hostile environment (diving included)

  • total propulsion time of the jetpack

  • total running time sprinting currently Phase Beam Damage stat on ships overrides all other weapons, so a ship with a base PB and a fully upgraded infraknife will show the Phase Beam damage base stat and ignore other weapons. possible solutions are:

  • display the highest possible dps among all weapons installed and functional

  • allow to remove the Phase Beam currently Bolt Caster damage stat overrides all other modules installed, so a MT will always display the BC stat. the solution should be similar to the ones for the ship Phase Beam class bonuses for ships should have a more clear impact for example:

  • cargo ships should have the extra cargo ina separate zone to raise understanding of the passive

  • explorer should show the extra range in the hyperdrive stat in a different color (white:base, yellow:modules, New color:class bonus)

  • same for figher damage and solar mobility

Dreams of the deep mission issue [Question]

I know I'm late to this, I didn't play for ages.. Anyway I was warping about, here and there, started the dreams of the deep mission, got most of the way through it and for what ever reason flew off to do something else, figured I would come back (think to upgrade the subs engines), stopped playing for a few months.. Now I have no idea where the planet was I started the mission on.. There are no indicators on the warp selections.. I can't seem to reset the mission like I have others in the past..

Please help I just want it ticked off my list

#

Am I making a mistake by making this Expedition save my main save? [Question]

Came back to the game after a long hiatus and started fresh with the Expedition. I figured I'd just go on and keep playing as normal since I don't have a "main save" like so many others.

I've got the Atlas questline running (which thankfully gave me a new waypoint after I changed galaxies), but are any other stories / quests going to be fine, or broken, etc. since I'm no longer in Euclid?

Best Game Mode for New Player/Advice [Discussion]

Hey all,

I just bought this game and have about 6-8 hours of play time in it. I ended up firing it up in survival. It's going pretty well now, after a pretty brutal grind at the start while I figured out how life support worked.

Before I get too much further though, I wanted to check whether survival I'm going to hit a wall in survival mode as a new player, or if it's just not recommended as a main save. Unless I hear that it's an unfun slog I'll probably stick with it at this point, but I wanted to check for traps.

Any other advice for a newbie that you wish you'd known?

Thanks!

escaping sentinels [Question]

So since the sentinel update those guys even follow you if you hop into your ship now. How am I supposed to shake them of?

#

LOD issues?? [Question]

I've reported this already but I'm curious to see if anyone else is having this really strange issue.. I always knew NMS had LOD/Texture issues on planets once you start building but ever since this update whenever I reload a save, teleport or warp sometimes certain things won't load in correctly??? Example:

https://preview.redd.it/i7er57w66iu81.png?width=1919&format=png&auto=webp&s=0ee5b53c6b971e6f71ca75877bbdca4f978a5ad2

#

New Update BUT... same problem. [Bug]

I don't know if this a general problem but I see that like me a lot of people can't complete the "hood mission" because is stuck in a silly message, no icons, no nothing, so wait more?... I raid zendesk with the petition for fix the bug but nothing in the patch...

In other hand the cap still bugged too, nothing change, the cape keeps going through the character and doing what he wants although they say they "fixed it".

I'm thankful that at least the pirates are no longer a nuisance.

#

When can I stop doing the Artemis quest line and jump to far away planets? [Question]

I’m very new and just got to the part where I was given coordinates to a black hole or atlas. I wanna go explore though and find a lush world and make a base and just explore but I don’t want to have to warp all the way back to where I am now to progress the story and unlock more things. If I warp to a different system will I be able to continue the quest line there?

#

warping with Friends in your freighter [Question]

Whenever me or my friend try to use our freighter to warp the person who doesn't own the freighter will fall through the floor and die. Does anybody know how to avoid this or do we both need to explore with our ships?

I'm stupid! [Question]

I made the mistake and purchased the thrustmaster to use when I get into my ship. Super stoked it came in. Found out NMS doesnt support it and makes sure keep you from using it with every update.... WHY!?

Ships without landing gear? [Question]

Over the past week or so since i came back to the game ive been seeing players with ships at the anomaly with no landing gear and they look like Podracers usually.. where can i find these kinds of ships? Or is the no landing gear a bug of some sort?

Ive never seen one of these kinds of ships that arent piloted by a player thats why im asking.

#

No option for a base computer [Question]

Hi all,

I recently started a new save for the most recent expedition, however I don't have the option to build a base computer using my Z menu (PC player). I've turned off multilayer and looked up as many guides as I can and nothing seems to fix it. Any ideas on how I can sort this?

#

Finally pulled the trigger and dove in [Question]

I’ve always been interested in the game, but obviously the reputation held me back as it did with many. I kept hearing how the developers have continued to work on it to make it into the product it is today, which is honestly awesome especially with it all being free.

So I picked it up finally, and man.. how did it take me this long? This game is incredible, I am in on it fully.

I will say it definitely is a bit overwhelming as a new player, but learning things as I go along has been a ton of fun.

With all that said, as a new player, what are some main things you would recommend? Tips? Looking forward to diving into this community!

Squadron full of Solar Ships [Discussion]

Decided to take advantage of the new-found wealth and splurge on a full squadron of solar ships, each one a different style with an "S" pilot. Pirates roll up now and find out quick. Totally worth the effort! :)

Preliminary Update For: Ship Stats (Found in the Wild) Quick Reference [Information]

Ship Stats (Found in the Wild) Quick Reference

  Added Solar Ships. Preliminary Solar Ship info added from the Wiki: Starship Catalog - Solar Added Cargo column for all non-Living ships (All items in Red need information)

 

I am much better at displaying data.... versus gathering it. If anyone has information (anything in Red) that needs to be added and/or changed... please post your observations.

 

General Reminder: This summary is for ships "found in the wild", not what their maximums can be via slot expansions, added modules, etc.

New to the game: can I build a base like I would in Valheim ? [Question]

Can I share a base with a friend so we both have editing rights ?

If not, can my friend create a base on the same planet ? Or in the same system ?

He currently hasn't got the game but would be willing to buy if we can cooperate in the manner I have described.

What are some of the big limits to co op in this game in your opinion ?

Expedition Bug? [Bug]

I’m currently on phase four of the expedition, and am currently doing the treasure hunt milestone. I’ve read the map, reached the destination, stepped through the portal, and am now investigating the maps secondary coordinates. I’ve arrived at the area, but firstly, I can’t mine anything? I can mine all the way down to a certain point, but I can’t mine around any of the structures. It says the chest is underneath me, but the problems is, I can’t mine down there for some reason. It definitely isn’t that I’ve gotten to the depth limit, because this is not that far down. I’m very confused why it’s not mining. I can mine no problem on the surface but once I try and mine around the ruins it won’t work (which I have to do).

#

No connection to match making services [Bug]

So I just bought the game and had a lot of problems online wise. Note that I can upload stuff though 1- when I go to the anomaly I don’t see anyone even in the nexus 2- can’t join my friend it says connecting and then nothing happens stays on the same screen 3- when I open network to try to invite a friend it says no connection to match making services

Anyone please help :(

#

Pirate raid frequency needs to be turned way the hell down. [Suggestion]

IDK about ya’ll, but i can’t visit a ground settlement, trade outpost, or literally any building on the ground minues my base without it getting attacked within 30 seconds of me getting there. and if i shoot those pirates down, another group of pirates will attack in another 30 seconds. its infuriating that if i land at a building i will be attacked.

forcing aerial combat is not good gameplay.

"Expanding the base" quest bug? overseer not spawning? [Bug]

Pretty much the title. I'm doing the "Expanding the base" quest as a requirement for "Ghosts in the machine" quest. I've placed a construction terminal and now it wants me to go to the space station to recruit an overseer but the overseer isn't spawning? The space station is an outlaw space station, if that matters. No matter how hard I look, they're not there.

#

Galactic Trade Terminal low inventory? [Question]

Need some advice.

I usually go to systems with "high economy" to restock with oxygen etc.. normally I find between 1500-5000 units of whatever I am looking for, but now I only find 300-600 units?! I have tried going to 20-30 different systems now and keep getting the same levels all the time??

PS5 Game constantly crashes [Bug]

My PS5 game applied the patch last night. The patched game consistently crashes my PS5 after a few minutes.

Happens if walking on a planet, afoot in my settlement, standing doing nothing in a base, standing doing nothing on my freighter, flying in the atmosphere, flying in space.

The game is just broken. Generating crash reports to Sony each time. Uggg!

#

[Expedition] Last Piece [Bug]

When I went underwater for the last map piece I immediately completed the quest despite not seeing the underwater wreck. At the time I haven't seen any playthroughs, so I thought it was strange, but whatever. Now that I'm at combining the 3 map pieces quest I realized that I still don't have the map piece, and I didn't unlock the recipe for it.

What do? Try to backtrack to the very system where I was supposed to find it or is there a way to restart that particular mission?

#

Hello! Im playing the new expedition and am at a part where I need 1 storm crystal, but have been searching for nearly 3 hours now and havent been able to find any at all?

Under a Rebel Star still bugged for me after patch. [Bug]

My mission bugged out on the very first step on the first day of the update. I found the ship in distress, and now my mission says "Corrupted Sentinals remaining: Unknown". Cannot un-pin the mission, can't reset it.

I've pulsed in the same system for 5 minutes and nothing has triggered again.

Any advice, or am I stuck with this mission in the corner of my screen forever with no hood?

Semi newbie- Exp6 update We can’t land starship when attacked?!! [Question]

I jumped into my ship when about to die in a sentinel battle, I tried to fly away only to be attacked by the sentinel starships and my ship was acting CRAZY!!

I couldn’t slow down near land, it kept auto turning like trying to lock on.

I looked in settings and didn’t see anything. I’ve never had this happen and is this a permanent change? Or what am I doing wrong that I couldn’t land?

Need some help with a laggy NMS [Question]

Hey yall, I'm just getting into nms and my game seems super laggy or slow when I'm in game. I googled and tried the set graphics to low, restart, then launch and go to standard and restart again but it didn't get rid of it. Are there any mods or tips I can try that will fix this? Preferably that will work after the latest update? I'm new to this game so I'm having trouble finding reliable information that isn't a year or two old.

Galaxy Core Warp Expedition 6 [Bug]

I can't find away to warp to the center of the core for the last phase of exped 6. I have a full hyperdrive tank. I am in the rendezvous 5 system. It has the line towards the core. It just will not let warp almost as if the core doesn't exsist. I have moved the camera every which possible while holding LMB and still nothing. I have tried this both in free look and not. When not in free look there is only one specific way to get the core on the map screen and it is just barely there. I have found a couple threads about this issue but no real solution. I find it incredibly odd I am the only one having this problem. This shit is driving me fucking nuts for real. Anybody know what the damn problem is? I have the intergalactic part of the exped set as my main mission I don't know.

How to get my expedition 5 rewards from PS4 to ps5 [Question]

I played the expedition and have all the rewards on my PS4 version. Even on the PS5, on the PS4 version they show up. But when you go on the PS5 version of the game they're not there, what gives? I have expedition 1-4 rewards and what I've unlocked from 6 so far. But all of five is acting like I didn't unlock it, when I did. How can I fix this, to get the expedition 5 rewards to show up? Because this is seriously annoying me.

Can you create your own ships? [Answered]

I purchased NMS when it first came out and have been hopping on and off for years. I haven't played in over a year now, so I'm not aware of the changes.

So my question is: can you create/customise the appearance of your own ships?

#

Biggest thing that I feel needs to be fixed even tho it doesn't involve pirates or combat: [Suggestion]

I understand what the 3 empty slots are for in you freighter... but if we aren't in a group and just solo, now that we can have 9 ships we should be able to have all available and not have to reload or reapawn etc. I know I know we kept asking for more ships and you gave it to us... but we also wanted to be able to have the availability but now... well... I'm probably just being a lil too picky... but.. I feel I can ratio this this and get backed heavily for it...

So Many Pirates After Update [Question]

Hello community! I am a new member of this community but been playing NMS for about 2 years. Did anyone else feel like pirates literally showed up everywhere after the update? I generally just like to fly around the universe and connect bases across systems via teleport gate but it seems like every new planet I land on, pirates show up within a few minutes. Am I the exception or the norm?

#

DragonballZ tech ? [Discussion]

Does anyone else think that the tech and architecture from DBZ would fit into the NMS world ? Like friezes grunts that had the hand blasters could be the multi tool, vegeta’s and nappa’s pods that could be used for long warps or something?

#

Where to build my main base? [Question]

So, I'm new in the game, and I'm wondering where to build a base, I see some people saying that galaxies will evolving so i wouldn't build on the first or second galaxy, but I'm not sure about it, I have a mini base on my first galaxy and at the moment i have explored 3, so what's the best to build my main base? If there is a best choice

#

just a suggestion [Suggestion]

I personal always deep down wanted a Qol update that reworks ships to be visually customizable color and all , I imagine it would go along well with a rework of the races and customization as the nms art style has been dated for a long time for a lively better textured races to match the newer bits. Would alleviate the dreaded pickiness that comes with upgrading a ship, if we could unlock certain ship customizations buy buying the ships and learning it forever. Just a thought. As the the actual customization station can pick apart the ship completely , maybe oneday🤞🤞🤞

#

Some certain types of fan are holding this game back [Discussion]

This game has so much potential but it's missing major staples that make games like this great, the sheer lack of personal customisation is a big part of that. Being able to feel like you have control over aspects like ship and tool colour is a major part of this.

They have the ability to change your own suit, your freighter, even the colours of your base and exocraft but not your biggest assets being your ship and tool.

Now to get to why certain players are responsible for this, even though a lot of players I've talked to want the option to change these things and even further than that a large portion (from what I can see) don't. The main reason for this I believe is because they themselves spent a long time looking for the perfect ships and therefore don't want others to have it easy by being able to simply change the colours or make new ships.

What these players don't seem to realise is it should of been a feature from the beginning, that this lack of customisation is a factor when newer players have issues with the game and a factor when other players (such as me) have to endure countless bugs that ruin when you do beat the odds and find a good looking ship such as the one we have currently.

Either way this will most likely get buried or downvoted but I had to say my piece.

#

Petition to Re-Color ships? [Suggestion]

Guys shouldn’t we try to start a petition to no mans sky that they finally let us change colors i dont wanna build or craft them i love hunting for nice ships and i think this also would destroy a part of the game if u could just build ships completely but finding a nice ship with wrong colors is super annoying isnt it?

Expedition 6: Solution for Quest marker under/inside a volcano [Information]

I've seen three different threads now with people asking for help with this, so thought I'd make a post with a solution.

In Expedition 6 Phase 2, you're sent to look for a crashed freighter ("A Blighted Freighter"). A few people have been stuck with a freighter half inside a volcano. I had this same problem.

If you hop in your ship or freighter and warp about 4-5000 ly* away from the system the quest is in, the game will offer to reset the quest using local planets due to the original target being too far away. Look at the quest in your log, it should have a red swirly next to it if you've travelled far enough away to reset it. Read the text at the bottom of the quest in the log telling you what button to press to reset the quest for your platform. I'm on PC (GOG), so it was middle clicking the mouse.

Reset the quest, then warp/portal back to the expedition system, and reset it again. The quest will choose a new freighter for you, and hopefully this time it's not one stuck in a volcano.

*Don't know what the limit is, I just know I had ~1400 ly warp range on my ship at the time, and made 3 warps to get far enough away)

#

Base ownership transfer, please? [Suggestion]

Hello Games,

I hope you see this. One of the biggest quality of life issues in your game for me is base building for another player. I have some friends I play with who enjoy this game, but they absolutely hate base building (to be blunt, they suck at it) but they still want to have a cool base. I've ended up building two bases for them (one each), and each time it was an absolutely awful process.

If we're able to build a base and then transfer ownership to another player (with acceptance confirmation from that player, of course), it would solve sooooo many issues with base building for other players, and it would really invigorate that aspect of the game.

If there's any QoL suggestion you'd be willing to consider, I hope it's this one.

Thanks for your time.

Headaches/nausea when playing, SOLUTION!! [Information]

I played this game for some hours when it came out and recently I started playing again. One thing I noticed back then and now is that I would start felling sick after 30mins of playing the game,this never happens with other games so I googled it and saw some posts here on Reddit but they never seem to have a solution other than messing with the FOV... So I when and increased my FOV and it looked like it was a bit better but I was still feeling sick after a while until I finally found what was the problem... The game by default comes with vignetting and some scan lines making it feel like you are watching it trough a CRT or something... It does look somewhat cool but it makes me feel sick, and by turning it off the game looks more clear and easier on the eyes!!

SOLUTION : Video options ->vignette & scanlines -> disabled

Maybe this is already common knowledge here but I couldn't find it, hope it helps someone specially newcomers to the game (like me)!!

#

Another suggestion [Suggestion]

Seeing that everyone is wearing the cape, I would love pvp specific customization for killing players. Some sort of bragging rights. A typical faction system good vs bad pretty basic type deal . Players aligning themselves to pirates or defenders . Invasion type teleportation system. The capes are giving me Star Wars vibes and I love it

Anyone know the name of the song that plays on the PS5 home screen for the game? [Question]

I really enjoy it but I can’t seem to find it anywhere. I’ve listened to most of the soundtrack but haven’t heard it yet. In case it’s unclear, it’s the song that plays when you’re idling over the game icon in the PS5 home menu, where the description and trophy progress is shown. not sure if it’s the same music on other systems.

any help would be appreciated!

#

Someone have new main menu theme ? [Question]

I just downloaded the latest update and the main menu music is very cool. Love the somber atmosphere.

If someone already has it or plans on putting it on YouTube, I would lobe a link.

Expedition 6: Conflict Scanner? [Question]

Hey all,

Really enjoying the update and my first expedition. Just wondering what people’s thoughts are on whether you really need the conflict scanner to find a pirate system or not? Been grinding on planets to kill walkers for a while but they keep dropping everything BUT a walker brain. Nexus and space station missions aren’t offering as a reward.

Worth it to keep grinding or just wait to come across one naturally?

concept for a new mechanic !BIG PARAGRAPH! (highly requested) [Discussion]

Custom ships. I think it's been talked about a lot. Now I'm saying it's needed, I love the ring that comes with looking for ships and the nmsCoordExchange do a phenomenal job. I just feel like why not? Like I understand how doing it could upset everything about finding ships and grinding to get that perfect S class but if you think about it I don't think it would.

First off the biggest issue that Ive heard players mention is that introducing custom ships would destroy the need to hunt around and buy ships. I totally disagree, in fact I believe it could be the most important aspect to ship building. Just making the method to getting ship pieces to use involve scrapping ships that you buy giving the player a % chance of getting a piece they can use in the shop building process makes hunting a very plausible thing. As getting those S class ships would give you higher chance at getting those better S class pieces. Plus like how I felt with my living ship, it's so much easier to just have my already fully upgraded S class ships that I can find than starting a new custom C class that I literally have to grind and build up to an S class. Plus that just sounds like a lot of fun tbh. I honestly doubt a brand new player or even mid level player would spend too much time with ship building mainly because of the materials and grind required to get that super badass looking ship. Although late game players who have too many resources to know what to do with and so much extra time would love being able to make their own fully custom dripped out ship.

Now another thing I've heard some players say about ship building is that there's just too many ship prefabs that would take forever to sort through. I honestly think that issue can be easily solved with some design choices. This is what I believe could be a perfect concept of a ship building system in NMS:...

Atlas path reset bug? [Bug]

I completed the atlas path mission a while back and moved to a new galaxy before leaving the game for a while. I just came back and started playing with my buddy who is brand new to the game. I joined his game and was following him around and noticed my Atlas Path mission seems to be reset somehow and is now telling me to find the next atlas station. The thing is, I already finished that mission on my game. But now even when I play solo it says that. Is this a known bug? Is there a way to fix my save?

Early game navigation data [Question]

So booted up NMS after a good while, completed expedition and decided to do a new fresh save. My first planet blessed me with tons of navigation data! More data structures then ive seen before collectively in my saves.

Now I've never been big on using lots of maps and my knowledge of the game is a bit rusty. I essentially steamrolled through the expedition doing only what was required, community also made a lot of helpful named bases that made it much easier to find stuff and get around.

Anyway, I'd like to use the nav data I got to get my save going and was wondering what you guys think is the general best general use of early maps? What would you guys spend them on if you'd use them in your first system? I'm personally considering looking for abandoned facilities for larval cores if they're still cheese-able (pretty decent source of early nanites and cash if I remember correctly)

But curious to see if there's someone with better ideas! :)

Save not showing up (PS5) [Bug]

The last time I played was about a year ago, just reinstalled the game and downloaded my (1 year old) save from ps plus but after starting the game I can not select it but only start over again. All I want is to upload my old save so I can continue on the PS5 version. Any of you that can help me?

Controller Issue (Switch Pro) [Bug]

Hi, playing NMS for the first time using a Switch Pro controller and I've encountered an issue. My look sensitivity is not the same looking right as it is left. Looking right seems to be half the speed as looking left and is getting kinda annoying. Tried looking online but didn't see a fix for this so I just thought I'd post here and see if anyone here knows how to resolve this issue?

‘Vibrating’ graphics all over the place (PS5) [Bug]

Since I transferred to the PS5 version, I’m seeing vibrating graphics literally everywhere. It’s really distracting and almost gamebreaking for me. It looks to be an issue where it is constantly shifting resolution for some reason.

It’s hard to capture it on video because of compression, but feel free to add footage if possible!

This issue was non existent on the PS4 Pro and I’m sure it’s on all PS5 systems. I started multiple new saves and reinstalled the game. No solution yet.

I hope others can contribute to this post so Hello Games will potentially notice and come up with a fix.

Build Custom Ships - a proposal [Discussion]

With lots of discussion lately about building custom ships, I gave it some thought. Trying to balance the pros and cons, I have a suggestion. (Please keep discussion civil and serious.)

Creation:

In order to build a custom ship, you have to unlock "ship station" (or any other name). It's like the farmer and exocraft and science stations on your base. Unlock method is similar to those. It requires an NPC like the other stations.

One you have the ship station, you start salvaging ships at your base or freighter, not just the space stations. Salvaging a ship gives you 1 piece of each ship part that was on the ship (wings, noses, engines, cockpits).

To unlock a ship part, you need a few pieces of that ship part. So, to unlock the rasa cockpit, you need to scrap a ship with it, get a rasa cockpit piece, and do that a few times to really understand/unlock it. Having to collect 5 pieces should be a balanced number. You can toss on a nanite cost as well. Freighter colors require 5,000 nanites to unlock. Requiring ship part unlock of 10,000 nanites sounds reasonable.

Once you have the ship parts unlocked, you can construct a new ship with that part, and other parts you unlocked. So, to build a complete ship, you need to unlock enough ship parts such as wings, engine, cockpit, nose, and so on. Since this will require salvaging several ships to get all the parts you need, this still requires a lot of ship hunting.

Construction costs should be based on materials such as magnetized ferrite, circuit boards, quantum computers, and so on. Something logical for the part. A unit cost can be added as well to avoid it being a money-making method. Have all the parts require materials and have the "assemble parts into a ship" cost units equal to the ship +10%.

All ships constructed start as C class.

Asymmetrical parts are allowed. You can have a V wing on one side and an X...

Haven't been on since the settlement update. This new content is amazing! [Discussion]

Started out with an expedition save since I figured it'd be a good way for the new content to easily be shown as I play. I'm impressed, dogfighting is a lot of fun with the combat autopilot, previously I'd just stay motionless and aim at them since it was simpler than trying to follow. Starship weapon changes are great, each one serves a purpose and you can feel it. Space pirates also give out some decent rewards compared to before where you'd just get a ton of magnetized ferrite and other easily obtained resources. At least with the black market upgrades I can sell them for some nanites if I prefer to just use stable S class upgrades instead. Second system I visited had a huge freighter gathering so I tried out the improvements to freighter raids, made 8 million. Finally worth actually doing, especially early game. I love the new ships, they look awesome and the benefits are great, I hate having to recharge my pulse engine and launch fuel normally lol. Smuggling is also a pretty cool feature though I'm not sure I understand how it works exactly yet since the amount the game says I was gonna get paid doesn't seem to match what I actually got for some reason. The pirate station quests are pretty cool too.

This was also my first time experiencing the new sentinel update content. Fighting sentinels is pretty fun now, used to just feel like a chore but having a couple show up is pretty fun. It's also significantly easier to actually end combat after fleeing which is nice.

Between the two combat is pretty decent in NMS. I'd still like to see a bit more variety to the things you fight like more biological enemies and land based pirates but at the moment it's at least fun and rewards you fairly well for your time.

TLDR: I'm loving the new updates! What's your favorite parts and what would you like to see in the future?

Who else liked the attacks pre-patch today? [Discussion]

I have almost 800 hours on the same save, and it was awesome with the Outlaws update how it felt dangerous. I was able to build and explore in my regular systems, but going to pirate systems felt like I was always on the verge of an attack and for the first time in like 700 hours I got semi-close to dying. It was exciting again and I felt I needed to be careful other than avoiding and/or shredding the brainless sentinels.

Since the newest patch, I was worried about that change immediately. And now I have been hanging out in a Pirate system and haven't gotten attacked, scanned, or anything once. Idk, I get that some people were getting attacked too often in low-conflict systems, but particularly for Pirate systems, they should've let the chaos ensue. To me, it added some cool action that felt challenging because, especially while on foot, Pirates could actually drain your shields and do some damage.

Just as a post-note, I have so many hours in this game that exploring I would sometimes drift off to sleep for a hot second. Not complaining, but I just had gotten used to it. After Outlaws, I was drifting off like that per usual, and Pirates starting firing upon me out of nowhere, and I was scared awake and had to react. It was awesome. I get it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I hope they at least add potential for some more 'oh shit' moments like that.

End of my little rant, curious to see what everyone else thought.

Player-run settlement/base [Discussion]

So I was thinking, and it'd be cool to have like a group of people set up like a mega base/settlement and sort of use it as a hub for themselves. Maybe if we have enough people doing it we can trade between them or start wars. I guess...sort of RPish but not really. Sort of just a community thing. I don't know, who'd be interested?

Between the updated sentinels and the new ship combat, what weapons are you using now? [Discussion]

I havnt played for a fair few updates so I wasn't aware of the new sentinel types and my multi-colour was only build for the basic bolt caster.

I have experimented alittle with the ship guns though and cyclonic combined with rockets seems very good. Just holding S with the laser seems to work aswell with the health leeching effect.

What do people use for each? And would you say there is a niche for a currently unused weapon type?

Personal opinion on the community's acceptance of exploits. [Discussion]

As many players had said, there is a problem with how common the use of exploits by players in this game.

And of course this should be something to work on, but for this we need to see what causes it.

For a player to get a large quantity of a certain item, it has 3 options: - building a farm - buying from another player like in TCTC - or simply grinding

The first two options aren't always possible, so the player gets a choice: Should I do the honest work or use a dupe glitch?

Ofc many choose the second option. I'll admit that I did so too, many times.

A more specific issue is Nanites: They are very useful and you constantly use them, but they can be obtained pretty much just from grinding. So of course that many players jumped on the latest infinite money glitch to get thousands of them in minutes, instead of grinding for them for hours.

Now, to clarify, I do not validate the use of exploits, nor do I blame Hello Games for the issue. But I do say that for changes in the community, there should also be changes in the game.

At last, sorry for all of the bad English, I'm not a native speaker.

My colony wants nothing but markets [Question]

The last 8 build requests I've had from my colony have all been markets and they just keep requesting them, I've built four of them and really don't want anymore.

I built the first market cos I didn't have one yet and then I built the next to because it increase to my productivity, I rejected the next two because at this point I had 3 markets, I built the next one thinking maybe it just kept giving me the same offer over and over until I accept it but then it's still gave me another market anyway.

Are markets just super common or am I just getting screwed by bad RNG?

Having trouble with twitch drops in game [Question]

I claimed all the twitch drops I was eligible for, but I do not have the option to redeem them at the quicksilver trader at the anomaly. I have made sure to connect my twitch to both hello games and steam (I know the steam portion is working because I just got the drops from the recent Rust event that went on as well and I have those in that game). I have tried unlinking and relinking to Hello Games numerous times with no luck.

I am a new player who just started playing again after the couple hours or so I played on launch. I am also playing the Expedition, so I'm wondering if I must be in a normal game to claim the drops?

Any help would be appreciated

Anyone else seeing reduced graphics with the latest update? [Bug]

This seems to be a new issue for me. My character and NPCs are all rendered in the lowest possible textures and detail. Posters and flags in my base are the same. Video settings are all on ultra. This is on PC (Steam), and my computer is more than up to those settings. This was not a problem on the original outlaw update, and reboots/restarting the game doesn't fix it.

Expeditions: What are they and how do they work? [FAQ] [Information]

So I've seen a lot of questions regarding Expeditions recently and I decided to make a FAQ post to answer these for any new players. Now just letting the blighted expedition was my first one, I'm no expert on them, but I did speed run it and have gotten a pretty good feel for what they are generally. So here we go:

Q. What is an Expedition? A. An Expedition is a limited time mode where players restart from scratch, they are given a slightly better ship and start on a pre-determined planet. Their goal is to complete a set of objectives laid out in a battle pass like starchart located in the players start menu. Completing said objectives progresses the player through a preset story with a special theme.

Q. Why do I want to do an Expedition, and how hard is it? A. It's actually pretty easy and completing the different phases rewards you with special cosmetics that can be collected from the quicksilver merchant in the nexus. This can even be done on all your saves which means you can have exclusive items on your main playthrough.

Q. Do I need to play the entire 5-6 week span, do I have to do each phase per week? A. No, you can speed through the Expedition at your own pace. It took me 5 hours personally. Also you can complete most of the objectives in any order you wish, even in the different phases. There are story specific ones that you must complete in order but you don't need to play all 5-6 weeks.

Q. Can I do it with friends? A. Absolutely, multiplayer is fully available and active in Expeditions. You'll also all start on the same planet in the same system, but where you go from there is mostly up to you, along the way you'll randevouse with a bunch of other players so that you stay on track with the story but the objectives can be completed anywhere in the galaxy.

I hope these help explain how Expeditions work. Have fun everyone :)

Is it worth it to get a S-class Freighter? [Question]

I have been searching and searching but the best I can find is a A class, which I own. I want to build a freighter base but I have been holding of spending resources on my capital ship so I can upgrade a S class Freighter when I find one.

Is it worth looking to go from A to S?

Are there any Freighter upgrades that would carry over to another ship if I upgrade in the future?

Did they increase the optimization for this game in one of the recent updates? [Question]

I enjoyed NMS when it came out but noticed that subsequent updates made it harder and harder for my PC to run.

So I stopped playing all together.

I now own a laptop that's comparable to my old gaming PC and decided to try playing Outlaws. I'm now noticing it runs far smoother than it ever has and I'm finally enjoying the game.

It's possible that my laptop CPU is just a bit better but still, the performance increase is massive.

Solar Ships and Existing Ship Pools [Question]

So earlier today, the I had the fine folks of the PanGalactic StarCabs Discord helped me get to a system that I found on the coordinate exchange.

I noticed that the system I went to had been updated to be an Outlaw System, and the original post for the ship I wanted was about 9 months old. I stayed at a trading post for about an hour and didn't see the ship I was looking for, but I saw 3-4 unique Solar Ships.

So I was wondering if anyone knows for sure if the Outlaw Update REPLACED ships in the current system's pools with the new Solar Ships.

Thanks in advance for any help/answers!

So my game crashed after I went through a stargate portal for the 1st time and met Atlas. I rebooted to find myself on an ice world filled with agressive Sentinels and my ship was on another planet. Think man think!

Get out your scan unit and use emergency navigation data to locate a crashed ship. After a long, long jetpack hike I find the crashed junker. Fix her up while slaying Sentinels and we have liftoff. Scrap her at the station and home in time for Nip Nip.

I know this isn't how the game is supposed to go, but if felt right. This should be the experience after every Stargate portal jump. Fight for your life.

Dying in the nexus hacker? [Question]

Hello,

I just recently played this game but I just joined a lobby and I died from combat somehow and alot of people did as well. Is this a hack or something?

I play the game on Steam with an Xbox controller, and if I don’t have the controller on before I start the game, the controller doesn’t work. [Question]

This seems like a very easily solvable problem, but it’s not really that easy when 90% of the games I boot up are mouse and keyboard games, so I’m constantly forgetting to turn on my controller before opening NMS, and then I have to restart the game. So I’m just wondering if anyone knows why this happens and is there is any sort of fix for this?

Blaze Javelin Not Hitting Sentinel Quad? [Bug]

Hey, I just recently got the blaze javelin after being a long time boltcaster user, and i was fighting sentinels. And for some reason, the blaze javelin has a really hard time hitting the quads. I shot one straight on and it hit the ground under it. I aimed higher to compensate for that and it shot completely straight. I just can’t hit the quads with the javelin. Is anyone else having this problem?

Problems with expedition 6 [Question]

I can't make more progress in phase one, given how i'm requested to rescue a freighter from a pirate attack, but none have spawned in the system that the game asks me to do so. And i got to rescue one on the way there, but it didn't count for some reason. Is this a known problem and there's a way to work in it?

Sentinels in settlement keep respawning? [Bug]

I went to my settlement and started to take care of killing the sentinels as usual, there were 8 to start. I started killing them, the counter went down on the little quest display in the lower left from 8 >7 >6 >5 >4 and as soon as it hit 4 the only one left appeared to be a mech looking guy. After i killed him, all 8 respawned in the middle of my settlement, I tried again and it happened again, and again, and even a 4th time. Anyone else have this issue?

The fix to stop pirate attacks on player base blocking other NPC ships spawning [Information]

HG fixed the constant planet-side pirate attacks by blocking all NPC ships from spawning when a player is standing still indoors and within the boundary of a player base.

When inside a player base, the NPC ships that would normally "interact" with player will no longer spawn. This includes not only pirate ships, but also includes NPC merchant ships that would regularly land on various public landing pads found at Trade Outposts, Minor Settlements, Player Settlements, and Planetary Archives.

This is a problem for ship hunters such as myself. Player bases are constructed to provide protection from storms and grant unobscured line-of-sight to all landing pads,. They also provide access to refiners, teleporter and trade terminals all within one spot. Now standing still inside of any structure (including NPC structure) will prevent NPC ships from spawning to land at Trade Outposts and Planetary Archives, as long as the spot is within player base boundary.

I hope HG find a more elegant way of fixing the constant pirate attacks on the player, without resorting to turning off the spawning of NPC merchant ships.

Does anyone else wish HG would stop releasing new content and instead just fix this broken game for once? [Discussion]

• Textures not loading. Happening for years • Constant crashing when entering freighter/anomaly. Happening for years. • Oxygen harvesters bug out and delete contents 90% of the time. Happening for years. • Freighters get stuck in combat, can’t dock until you fly away and respawn them.. Happening for years.

Plus tons more annoyances….

But we have pirates now!

How about you fix the broken shit BEFORE you add more broken shit?

(Apologies for the rant. But I just had four hard crashes in a row within 20 minutes. ALL because i docked with a freighter- something so fundamentally basic, you’d think it would be a priority to have it work as intended. But instead- they’re focusing on tons of new shit- that is even more bugged than the core game? Who’s in charge of this mess?)

#

How does ship upgrading work? [Question]

I know this probably seems like a stupid question, but I was curious in how it works. I managed to find a really nice solar sail ship that's c teir, so I was wondering, when I upgrade tiers, do all its stat's and storage space go up, or is it just stat's? Compared to other c tier solar sails I saw it seemed to have really high shield and damage potential as well, so does that carry over when upgrading or is it random? And does anyone know the Max capacity of a solar sail ship?

storrage containers not filling over time from mining drills. [Bug]

So ever seance the shortly before the outlaw update none of my mining fasilitys work anymore. they are hooked up correctly and if i stand there they slowly fill up but when i come back to them later by like an hour or so they are allways empty. not sure if its a bug or if the updates messed with wireing. ive tryed to unwire everything and re wire it but that dont seem to work. ive used the cordinance exchange to go to other massive mining farms and they work just fine. anyone know why mine would stop working like this?

note. as for the posibility that someone is going to my base and taking the resorces i can discount that because 1. i dont play online as i have multyplayer turned off most times. and 2 ive spent hours on the planet with my mining machines working when i left only for them to be empty when i come back from exploring the planet.

What are the conditions for spawning the Voice of Freedom mission? [Bug]

I was told to pulse around a non-pirate system and a comm message would trigger. That hasn’t happened yet.

Is there someone I have to talk to on the station?

Is it like freighter fights? Do I have to warp 5 times in a row while having played continuously for 3 hours?

Do I have to stand on my head and call Sean’s name 3 times?

I’m on normal, PS5. I’m on an 800 hour save file.

It would make a lot more sense if I could just ask the mission agent on a pirate station to initialize the mission. I mean, I have already done 3 pirate missions, but I don’t think they count since the Voice of Freedom is not in my log.

number of item you can buy [Question]

I am relatively new to no man's sky and i watch some video to help me do a good start and learning how the game work. That said, when i go in station to buy oxygen, in these video they bought oxygen by stack of couple thousand and i can only buy myself a stack of 200 to 500 max 800 if i'm lucky in a rich system.

Also when i sold 25k cobalt and try to buy them back i can only buy back less than 2k.

Is there any way to stop the freighter crewmember directly above the doorway from making a greeting noise every time I walk through? [Question]

I know this is a dumb question and people will no doubt brand me an idiot but I am at my wit's end. Maybe I've spent too much time in my freighter and I'm losing my mind. I don't know.

Every time I walk through the doorway into the little command area, the alien directly above the doorway senses me through the floor and greets me with a noise. It happens when I come in, and also when I leave. This didn't bother me at first, but after the zillionth time it has become a major source of irritation for me. I actually avoid going in there now simply because I dread hearing the noise. I accept that I'm nuts since I can't find anything about it bothering anyone anywhere, but is there some way to make this stop?

If I get a different freighter with a different crew species, will the noise at least be different?

Can I murder this crewmember or otherwise relieve them of their diligent greeting duties?

Insanely loud base furnishings/ambience. [Discussion]

Just finished making an awesome timber mansion that overlooks my settlement. Very cozy on the bottom floor, but I had to make some more tech-based rooms to fill up all the space.

Once finished, I plugged in my headset and was absolutely ear-nnihilated by the ambient sound. I could pinpoint some particularly noisy furnishings to get rid of, but that would only make a small dent in the headache-inducing noise coming from pretty much everything. NMS also has this annoying rumbly vacuum sound when you're in a building anyways.

Is there anything I can do about this besides turning down SFX? Or has anyone else found this to be an issue? I imagine mods on PC could edit the sound files, but I'm on PS4 sadly.

I need Help [Question]

Hello, I've recently re-downloaded NMS off of xbox gamepass PC so i could try the outlaws update, however with this update and the last update i played (sentinel) I cannot get the game to run properly after exiting the load screen (flying through space) It's constantly freezing as in 1 second im at 45 frames next second im frozen, 3 seconds down the line i can run for a half second again, then boom frozen, I would assume its my Graphics card, however i've played the game just fine at 60fps in the past (off of gamepass too) and i cant find any actual reason for this freezing pattern. no matter how long i wait it doesnt stop this, and the game is completely unplayable. I cannot edit any files either as microsoft doesnt seem to trust us to even dump the shader cache. Is there anything I can do to get this working? i've tried everything i can find online, including changing to bordered/window, reducing resolution (i even put it down to 720x480) and changing fields of view, disabling multiplayer, reinstalling, repairing and verifying, heck, i even moved the game from my 6tb HD0D to my 500gb SSD no change whatsoever and i just wanna play the damn game :( anyone dealt with the same thing and fixed it? any new suggestions ? should i just forget the game and move on to some other game?

Intense and frequent raiding events. [Question]

Played the game about a year and a half ago, recently bought it on steam and started a new campaign. Briefly read some of thr patch notes for the outlaws update and was really excited and I have been having a great time. Only issue is get frequent and disruptive raiding missions. I step outside of my base I automatically get a raid warning. Leave a space station or anomaly same thing. It doesn't harm my experience but it is becoming a bit insane.

Anyone else getting very frequent crash to desktops at the moment? [Bug]

I'm running an AMD 3600 with 32gb of ram and an RX 5700 game is loaded off an SSD.

I decided to come back after this latest update, however loading my old save crashes me within about 2-10 minutes, depending on what it is I'm doing, can just be flying around in space, landing, getting into a ship, out of a ship, etc.

I decided to start a new save to see if that would help, I crash less often but after about 2.5 hours of progress (only crashed four times in this period) I'm back to very frequent crashes.

I've completely reinstalled the game to check if that's what was causing it and no dice, is anyone else having a similar issues and/or has found a potential solution to this?

Won’t let me go back to the older version? [Question]

I really wanted to take advantage of the infinite money glitch and saw you can go back a version. I did all the steps I saw on a steam discussion form. However the one part that seems to be stopping me is the manifest ID. They seem to be different, when you click on the hyperlink of the manifest id gives you a different one. I also noticed at the end of the text it says manifest id changed, I tried the first one and it failed. Than I tried the second one and I was able to download a version, but when I got into the game the glitch didn’t work. So I am wondering if anyone was able to successfully go back to the money glitch version.

PSA ship scrapping mess [Bug]

I went in a space station with ship A

The ship B went in and I bought it

I scrapped ship B and immediately jumped back into ship A

Ship C was teleported in ship B's place while I was inside ship A

Ship A got ship C's inventory and stats and ship C's was showing no stats

Basically the game merged A and C because when you scrap a ship (B) another is teleported in its place (C) and is's selected as your main ship; this happened because at that time I was inside another ship (A). Had to reload a previous manual save to fix the issue.

I'll send a bug report but be careful and wait for a scrapped ship to completely disappear before jumping back into another ship.

How to find a good system? [Question]

I'm playing with a group, we all restarted for the most recent update. we've recently been system hopping, trying to find the perfect spot to set up our bases, but we can't seem to find a system that has everything we want.

Is there some kind of third party tool that can help us find a good system? Or any tips to find one that has what we want in-game?

We're looking for a system that has a nice star bulb planet to settle on with non-aggressive sentinels, a stormy planet with crystals, and a good mix of other biomes (hot, cold, toxic etc) on the other planets. Low conflict and rich economy would be nice but isn't a deal breaker.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Ideas for playing as an outlaw. [Discussion]

#

Ship Cargo tab [Question]

Hey. Just started playing at the weekend. Getting to a point where I'm trying to decide which ships to keep and upgrade and which to scrap.

One of the things I can't find any info on is what the max cargo slots are for each ship type/class. All the wiki info ive seen so far still needs updated for the more recent patches.

From my understanding each type of ship has different max general tab slots (Haulers can have a full 8x6 grid but fighters for example have less space) but I cant see any info on how the type and class effect the third "cargo" tab slots.

If anyone could provide up to date info on each ships max capacities for general/tech/cargo that would be amazing. Thanks in advance.

Questions before returning [Question]

I haven't played NMS since about 2017 but am well aware that they have basically transformed the game in that time. There were a few features that were mentioned back when I used to play that I'm hoping made it in. Purely because it will add to my idea of an outlaw playthrough

  1. Can you side with certain races/factions and that have an impact on how you interact with NPC's?

  2. Do planets have free roaming NPCs that you can either fight/leave alone or interact with?

  3. If wanted level is maxed out do 'police bots' (I have no idea what they're actually called) keep coming or can you kill them to a point where they stop still? I remember getting max wanted level and killing the big walker bots (which were rad btw) but it was capped at about 2-3 of them

  4. With PvP being opt-in, can you still play online and have crews travelling the galaxy with PvP being on the cards if you come across another crew, or is it opt-in and the universe basically just becomes a vs environment within a set area?

  5. Were waterworld's (Like the Kevin Costner film) and Dune/Tatooine world's ever added?

Thanks.

No Man’s Sky realism rules [Discussion]

Someone placed up a post the other day asking about people’s rules they play the game by, I could not find there original post and still wanted to share mine.

I play on survival mode and here are my ever expanding set of rules. I mainly stick to one section of the galaxy and slowly expand. Feel free to share your ideas or rules below! Would love to add to the challenge :) Fly Dangerous interlopers o7!

Rules: Freighters & storage * Only one ship can be owned till freighter is brought * Can’t take the free freighter * To change ship you must dock at freighter * Freighter can not be moved (summoned) between systems unless flown by the player * Freighter can not own the same “storage” as places on the ground. Only 9 storage units total can be used in the game - can not be doubled up between builds for free item transfer. Unless: * The Space stations above a planets ground facilities on a planet is allowed to use the same storage as the ones used on that planet. “Hubs for transporting goods.” * You build a second base with the same intended function but on a different planet Ships “storage” slots can’t be increased Player storage can’t be increased, (however technology slots can)

Multi tools * Each multi tool can only have one weapon attached, this includes mining laser (mining, terrain etc can all be done on the same tool however) * The “special” tool I.e. neutron cannon, geology cannon paralysis mortar etc - is classed as a weapon so must have its own multitool * Combat scope, force field, cloaking device can be installed on any gun - but only one at a time, not all.

Vehicles * Ground vehicles can’t be “re-summoned” by their station once deployed on a planet. * Ground vehicles must be emptied before being deployed on other planets otherwise items are deleted * Ground vehicles summoned by the freighter can only be spawned behind a large hauler...

Any news on possible expansion of the build limit (total limit per save)? [Discussion]

TLDR: Why 20k baseparts limit, i want more.

I am curious if there are any plans on expanding the parts limit to over 20k per save.

as i do understand that there needs to be a limit of some sorts to keep clutter and absolute huge savefiles in check i believe that with current hardware improvements higher limits are the current next step.

I found out about this limit in the most sad way possible. With a great idea in my head i started a new basebuild only to be stopped halfway that i reached the components limit. at that point i had to make a decision which old base i had to remove to continue my new build.

As base building is one of the most long term enjoyments of this game for me that was really a bummer. i take great pride in my work and if a base is not up to my high standard i would delete it right away. you could argue that you could start a new save and start from scratch but i rahter want al my bases within the same savefile.

in conclusion: with the grand scale this game has and technology that has improved a ton since schouldnt it be nice to increase the building parts limit?

Ariadne story [Discussion]

2 years ago, when Desolation update came out, we had this weekend missions that had a lot of lore in it. Every npc from the Anomaly were talking about the Void ( possible sentinel teritory) and also that a possible traitor can be among us. At the end of this missions we came to the conclusion that Ariadne is the primary suspect, but then the story came to an end.

Now almost 2 years later, i started doing the sentinel quest-line, and as Tethys said that he would help me restore the sentinel drone, he also send me to talk to the other travellers to help me doing it. I was very surprised that when i spoke to Ariadne she said that she would not help me, and also that she is not feeling herself lately. That’s when i remembered what happened 2 years ago.

What do you think about this? Do you believe the story will progress further? We will ever learn what really happened to Ariadne?

I feel that this must be something very important and yet i see nobody talking about this..

ENOUGH WITH THE SENTINALS ALREADY !!!!!!!!! [Discussion]

I got to the bit of the expedition where the settlement distress call arrives. Went to the settlement, nuked half a dozen sentinals, couldn't find any settlers to talk to because they were all underground and I couldn't talk to the tips of their heads ... Save, reload, woohoo settlers, and more sentinals. Nuked those and some ordinary red ones appeared.

And that was that. Wave after wave after wave after wave of the damn things. Ended up in my starship still fighting off wave after wave after wave, it never stopped. No idea where I am, the planet is full of settlement markers and I have no idea which one is mine, and every time I kill a wave of sentinals the next lot appear.

This has long ago stopped being fun. I'm out. Quit to desktop. Last save 17 minutes ago, are you sure ? Oh yes !

Help with expedition [Question]

I am stuck on expedition 6 in phase 2 where I need to build a conflict scanner. I have everything but can't seem to find a walker brain anywhere. I don't have any land vehicles, so can't fight on the ground to get long enough to spawn a walker and the one time I was able to live long enough to get one to spawn, I never got to see it and sentinel ships come after me if I jump into my ship. I can't seem to find any nexus missions with that reward and none of the space stations missions have one either. I feel like I either need to rely on the kindness of others or just stop playing. Am I missing another way to aquire one?

Did twitch rewards change? I'm not able to claim all of my rewards account wide, I got some of them but not all and now the menu no longer appears. [Question]

So here's my situation, I participated in the twitch drop stuff this past weekend and I had claimed everything that dropped on the first few days on my main save. Then over the next few days I was playing on my expedition save and claimed some of them in order to aid my expedition (like the ships), yesterday I completed the expedition and swapped back over to my main save and even though I hadn't yet grabbed the last few days worth of save ON THIS PARTICULAR save (such as the drops that gave the fighter ship/robotic fauna), the twitch menu no longer pops up at the quick silver vendor.

So my question is this, are they no longer account wide? I know there was a patch recently, could this have changed my ability to claim across my different saves? Or maybe the fact that the twitch drop period is over, I no longer have the ability to claim them on this save file? I got some of them on both accounts, like the shuttle ship but now I can't get anything.

Solar Ship Questions [Question]

So, I've been enjoying the update, and I love the added ship variety. But I still haven't nailed down exactly what solar ships bring to the table in terms of stats.

I have some questions. I'm sure given time I could answer them myself through experimentation, but my play time is limited lately, and I imagine someone else in the community has probably already tested these things, so:

  • What, if anything, do solar ships get bonuses in? The flavor text seems to imply that they have a bonus to maneuverability, but it hasn't been noticeable in ones I've flown so far. Do they have any bonus to hyperdrive range? If so, is it comparable to an explorer?

  • What are the natural inventory size ranges for solar ships in each class? Are there size tiers like there are for shuttles, fighters, haulers, and explorers? If so, how can one recognize the size from the parts used? I picked up an A class with only 15 slots, which leads me to think that solar ships tend to be smaller than the other types. An A-class figher or explorer would have had 19.

  • The Vesper Sail is said to allow recharging of the launch thrusters. Is this only happening when flying in space, when the sail is open, or is it actually the same as the Launch System Recharger upgrade, which works all the time?

Xbox Series X Issues [Question]

Hi all,

I am a long time fan of this game and decided to see how it plays on the Xbox Series X and get some achievements on there. I have come across a few bugs and I am not sure if it's just me or not:

  1. None of the achievements have popped and they should have because the milestone is maxed out.

  2. I can't change the name of anything. The option comes up and I change it but then it just doesn't save it.

Not sure if these are bugs with the consoles or just me but is very strange.

What is your favorite thing about the outlaws update? [Discussion]

For me personally it is the contraband and outlaw systems. I always wanted to do "illegal space things" like smuggling. And I also like how fleets in outlaw systems are transporting contraband. It makes me feel more like a space pirate when attacking fleets for their contraband.

Frigate invitation missed [Question]

Hey All,

My first proper playthrough of NMS. I know the event happens on your 5th warp jump or something.

I warped into a galaxy and immediately got the call to help kill pirates. Killed them all then jumped into the Station as I got the invite to the frigate. I had to log off and when I logged back on the frigates were gone.

Will I get this prompt again?

Have I broken the game?

Where the hell do I get enough oxygen to produce my chlorine!?

New Meta for Ship Weapons? [Question]

I was wondering if anyone has done any testing on whether there is a reason to now use a combo of shield damaging weapons and then hull damage weapons when doing ship to ship combat? I see now that there are weapons best used against shields and weapons best used against non shielded targets and was wondering if its best to use a weapon specific to each or just use one weapon that is okay against both?

Are earth like planets worth searching for? [Discussion]

I found two in my No Man Sky's playtime... one, i setup shop, then after an update, it was no longer earth like..... spend a good week finding another, then, another update, no earth like planet anymore. I'm coming back to the game after a couple of years to discover the latest one.

Is this an ongoing thing? Will it keep happening, cause if so, I see no point in this part of the exploration if planets completely change with certain updates.

Why can't I build bases during expedition? [Question]

Not entirely sure if it is a bug or purposely disabled for expeditions. But I cannot build bases because the base computer blueprint is not available to me. It has been a minute since I played, but I thought the base computer blueprint was automatically included at start of game.

Multiplayer Bug [Bug]

Hello fellow interlopers, I need help with a multiplayer issue I'm having. I am playing the game on an Xbox Series S, my friend is playing on my laptop via Steam, both have the latest updates. When we join each other, about 10 minutes later one of us realizes we aren't in the same group anymore. It doesn't matter if we're on a space station, in space, on a planet, in my base, or even in the same room, the group disbands without fail. I am also unable to invite him to my group from the network -> friends list menu, it only shows the option to unfriend him. How do we fix this so we can play together?

You may no longer be able to recruit S-Class pilots to your squadron with your preferred ship unless you're lucky [Discussion]

I'm sure many of you have read that you can "give" a ship to an S-Class pilot and then quickly recruit the pilot to your squadron with the ship you like before the pilot flies away, but I just tested this, and I think it no longer works (maybe after the recent patch).

I had a nice looking A-Class fighter that I wanted to get rid of, but I wanted to try recruiting an S-Class pilot to my squadron using that ship instead. I found an S-Class pilot, swapped ships and then quickly ran back to the new pilot at my old fighter, but the pilot reverted to a C-Class pilot.

I figured that maybe it was a fluke, so I swapped again and then ran back to where the original pilot was and the pilot was S-Class again. Interestingly, it wasn't the same pilot at either ship because they had different names. Just to test this, I swapped two more times, and the C-Class pilot returned to my ship with the same name as the first time. After swapping again, the original S-Class pilot returned to his original ship.

Unless I am just unlucky, or this is a glitch on my end, I think you can now possibly only recruit S-Class pilots with your preferred ship if you're lucky enough to have the newly generated pilot also be S-Class.

Of course, this needs more testing, but I thought that maybe some of you would like to know that maybe the swap/recruit tactic for pilots doesn't always work.

Technology slots [Question]

I see they max out ay 14, yet there are a total of 48 slots ... we know of a way to increase the current cap beyond 14?

#

Base Storage [Suggestion]

As a self-confessed game item hoarder... adding base storage options would be fantastic. Things like storage lockers, chests, wall safes, etc.

 

The containers shouldn't be linked to each other across other bases, but to be able to store your stuff in your own bases would be nice to have.

#

Allow Danger to Follow Indoors [Suggestion]

Disclaimer: Day one player. Love NMS. Game should preserve peaceful exploration where possible.

Right now, if you have a wanted level or are otherwise being attacked, you can just run indoors or fly into a station or other large ship and escape danger immediately. I’d like to see some consequences. While flying into a station, the docking procedure could include a scan for illegal goods or wanted levels to clear you. And if you get caught with something, you get detained by security or some other penalty. I think there should always be measures to possibly escape (like the scanning jammer) or maybe fight your way to escape.

#

Anyone else having issues with portals? [Bug]

So I'm on Series X, normal save, Eissentam. Ive been trying to reach a specific system (in Eissentam) from the NMSCE because there is a solar ship in that system that I want to get. The problem is, when I go to a portal and charge the glyphs (I have all of them), it won't let me input the address because it doesn't let me get past the "Charge the Glyphs" Screen. The glyphs are charged, it shows me that they are all charged and the resources have been taken from my inventory. So why in the ATLAS' name is it not letting me use the portal? I feel like I have tried everything: Reload the save, restart the game, restart my console, leave it for 2 hours and still it's not working. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is anyone else having this issue? Because it's getting really annoying now and it was working yesterday (after the patch) just fine.

#

Found something awesome! [Discussion]

I'm just exploring and while boosting to a planet I got some kind of notification telling me to slow down for a rare occurrence, I did and some kind of gate popped in front of my ship so I go through it. On the other side is a new star system that I've never been to and I see that someone has already set up base. I'm curious so I look and the name says owned by hello games, I'm more curious now and head to the base. It's a fully built base with landing pad and refiners/poratl/power all of it and it's a RUNAWAY MOLD FARM! I look at the other bases on this planet and they are all mold farms! Also while going through the bases in the teleporter, I noticed that they have quite a few bases I can visit that also have a set resource to collect like copper/ Uranium/ and gasses. Has anyone ever seen this before?

Can’t complete mission after outlaws update [Bug]

I can’t complete Ghosts in the Machine. Specifically the “Visit a multi tool technology trader in a Vy’keen system.”

The system the mission sends me to is now an Outlaw system. There is no technology trader that I can find in the outlaw station to complete this.

Am I missing something? Or is this a bug?

#

Replacing Elite [Discussion]

Most Elite players admit that NMS is a much better game. To be honest, Elite Dangerous is not even in the same class of games. Elite players also universally criticize Frontier (who are becoming notorious), while Hello Games have become an industry paragon.

However, even on Game Pass (where both games are freely available), many people opt to play Elite (despite Frontier officially abandoning the XBox version in an unfinished state).

The only reason anyone prefers Elite (IMO) is that Elite maintains the illusion of flying a spaceship, based on the ship's instrumentation, which greatly helps with emersion. In Elite, I feel like I am on an adventure through Space. In NMS, I feel like I'm controlling a little guy on his adventure through Space.

Everything else in Elite (trading, fighting etc) is just stuff to do. Doing it in a (pretend, but compelling) spaceship simulator is what makes Elite fun.

In No Man's Sky, the ship's cockpit provides some useful information, but it's half-baked. If NMS overhauled the cockpits to make them fully functional, and allowed users to disable auto-pilot and pilot-assists, so we could dock our ships manually etc, using our ship's instruments, NMS would realize the dream of the Elite franchise.

Tips for a returning player [Question]

I bought NMS the day it came out on PS. Like most I was underwhelmed but I did end up platinuming it. I've popped back in here and there to check out the updates and I was impressed every time.

Got some ideas for a future conflict update... [Suggestion]

So... I was taking a walk and thought of some interesting ideas to give a new sense of progression for No Man's Sky. I was thinking about how AC Oddysey had these regions that were at constant war and how the player can choose a side, sabotaging the enemy and eventually helping one side take control of the region. Imagine this in No Man's Sky:

You prepare to warp to a new system and you open the star map. You notice that a nearby system has a new conflict icon with a progress bar. On the sides of the bar, you can see a Gek symbol and a Vy'keen symbol. You decide to find out what this means and warp to the system in question.

Once you arrive you can see two frigate fleets in the middle of a space battle over a nearby planet. You can clearly identify one fleet as Gek and the other as Vy'keen. You decide to go in and have some fun, attacking some of the Vy'keen ships. This results in the rest of the Vy'keen ships targeting you. You also notice that the Freighters and frigates now have health and shield bars and you can in fact attack them (maybe even board enemy freighters and destroy them from the inside, good old Star Wars Battlefront 2 style).

Eventually, the Vy'keen freighter is destroyed and the rest of their forces warp away. You look around for the classic space station symbol but to your surprise, there is no one to be found. Instead, you notice two different starbase symbols in opposite locations of the system. One has a Gek symbol and the other has a Vy'keen symbol. You make a jump towards the Gek symbol and once you arrive, you find a huge battleship instead of a space station. The battleship is surrounded by smaller freighters frigates. This is the Gek armada in this system.

You notice that the hangar doors to the battleship are red (indicating that you cannot enter) but once you get closer, the comms channel flicks to life. It is the Gek...

To what extent does the outlaw update let you be a 'bad guy'? [Question]

I've pretty much always wanted to play a game where I could be a space pirate and saw this update recently. I haven't touched the game since early 2020 and made a new playthrough as I pretty forgot how to play.

How long do you guys think it would take to become a proper space pirate from fresh start, if its something you can do in this game?

A question about the void egg quest line and leaving the galaxy. [Question]

So I've done a few steps, collected some things, the membrane is hardening. When I skipped to a new galaxy it gave me a new egg and started over. Naturally I reloaded.

Am I going to have to collect everything again if I travel to that new galaxy? Or is there some shortcut because I have things in my inventory already? Am I better off just staying until the quest is done? I understand that would hold me back in that old galaxy for a few more days which is going to stunt my will to play the game, but I also don't want to start over.

Any advice?

A very weird bug after returning to NMS. [Bug]

Hello! I have just came back to NMS after a break and I can't warp from my ship or call in a space anomaly. I can warp just fine from my freighter or use any teleport. I keep getting this message upon trying to warp or call the anomaly "Planetary Interference" and I've tried to pulse drive away from planets to no avail.

a few questions [Question]

I played this game for a while at launch, it was fine but I felt like I experienced all that I needed to.

Any word on a release date for the switch version? Any word on hiw good the switch game will be?

I love switch and portable gaming is preferred for my life style at the moment.

My Idea for a New Update called the Archeology Update. [Discussion]

I got this idea from reading some of the posts about what people would like to see in a new update or what could be added next. I saw a lot of mentions about more exploration and I agree completely, but it got me thinking about what I would like to see and this is it:

Archeology Sites: These sites should be found by sending explorer frigates out on expeditions searching for the sites, or the player could come across them naturally while exploring. I believe both should be viable. These sites will range in rank from C to S. Explorer frigates with a higher rank has a higher chance of finding higher class Archeology Sites. If found naturally through exploration the rank will be random with a higher chance of finding lower class Archeology Sites. The rank of the Archeology Site will determine how many levels the Archeology Site has. C class will have 1 level or 1 dig. B class will have 2, A class 3 and S class 4. Each level or dig, will provide higher level artifacts and items. S class or the final level 4 dig will always provide an ancient ship part or an ancient schematic. The archeology sites can act as an alternative way of finding certain items like a Living Ship Egg and other similar ancient items like high value bones. These sites could also act as a dungeon, where the player must explore the ruins looking for the items while fighting ancient defense drones or something similar. Ancient bones will be found during the dig, but items such as the Void Egg and valuable treasure will be found from exploring the ruins. Each level will reveal more of the ruin. The ancient items can be given to a new npc on the Anomaly in return for units or nanites.

Quest: When you find an archeology site a quest will trigger that will add a path to excavating the site. Your first site will always be S class to guarantee an ancient ship part. This quest will involve you...

New Player Wanting to Know How to Mark Multiple POI [Question]

I've noticed that once you unlock the analysis visor you able to mark a singular point of interest, however you can't mark multiple POI. This is very inconvenient because you mark one spot, dig it up and or loot then analyze your surroundings again and rinse and repeat. Is there no way to mark multiple plots of buried tech, or knowledge nodes for example? It feels unnecessarily tedious when you need to farm a ton of tech.

#

Base with hidden Ship Hanger? [Discussion]

Has anyone created a base where you can hide your ship on its landing pad? For example, having the landing platform underground or in a building and having the roof open and close using a switch. Obviously you would have it set on open and when you're in your base you could close it to conceal your ship. You can do this with the Minotaur, having a ceiling that you manually open and shut, so you can jet boost your Minotaur out the top. Though a ship is a larger scale and I haven't figured out a way to achieve this yet.

starship help/ advice please. [Question]

Hi all,

This is my first time posting on here so if its in the wrong place I apologise. I'm looking for some help or advice regarding the starship. I have an exotic squid:

Damage - 440 Sheild - 388 Hyperdrive - 1468 Maneuverability - 629

Before the outlaw update I was hitting 900u speed on planet and 10500u in space. Since the update without changing any upgrades I'm now hitting 249u on planet and 2998u in space, also the pulse drive has become slower as well. Is this a bug or have they nerfed it? I spent quite a lot of time and money getting this squid to the beast it was. I've also tested my other starships and I can't get any of them over 2980u speed in space either. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks in advance.

Should I start over [Question]

I just opened up No Man's Sky for the first time since July 2019. I have some really nice ships, etc but walking around my freighter for the first time in years I had no idea what to do any more. I went out for a quick spin in one of my ships and couldn't remember how to fly. I managed to limp back into my freighter.

I have no idea how much has changed. Should I start over with a new save?

Returning player [Question]

Hello everyone. I’ve come back after playing a couple years ago. My question is pretty simple and probably a no brainer. From what I recall I just got the free freighter from the pirate portion and did some Atlas missions. At what point do I start getting involved with the outlaw and settlement updates? Do I need to get past the tutorial part to unlock that stuff?

Hope that all makes sense. Thanks!

I just can't understand how much this game is bugged... [Bug]

There's no single thing in the game that is not broken. Seriously. I play the game since day one and it's always the same - they add new content that's bugged as hell and it stays this way for years. Barely anything is fixed after a content drop.

I'm currently doing the current expedition. I've already encountered a a progress blocker with freighter acquisition (looping discussion with captain), ofc jumping straight into a freighter (which kills you and is in the game for !years! by now), falling under the ground while riding my mount, sentinels on 5th tier spawning under the ground after a long encounter, and now my fully upgraded weapon simply disappeared and I can't shoot anything.

Gather your trousers and finally fix the freaking game...

Anybody else getting game crashes on derelicts after this latest patch? (PC) [Discussion]

Maybe not the patch but that's all I can think of. Never had a problem before, now 3 times in a row today it's fed me the same derelict with scanners and security bots. After 2 or 3 rooms, I'll see incoming fire, my boltcaster has disappeared and I can't bring it back again, then 3-2-1 slowdown, freeze, and I need to manually force the game closed.

Excited new player [Discussion]

I’ve been wanting to play no mans sky for years now and never started for some reason. Just got it downloaded and gonna start my journey tonight.

Best first memory?

#

Real Spacewalk. Asteroid Hopping. [Suggestion]

do any of you really hope space walk and asteroid terraforming on foot is on the road map?

I know theres a way to cheat it just by jumping off the edge of a frigate, but this is of course a glitch. And obviously no zero g gravity. However, at least some of groundwork is there and i've always wondered if its a plan for the team to have a dedicated update for this.

I think theres a lot of fun to be had here. If you could mine asteroids on foot there could be smaller items that you couldnt get just by blowing one up with your ship. Also being able to jump out of the ship and do repairs by hand, 2001 style. And maybe even build a little base on an asteroid could be fun.

However I don't know whats possible in the games engine. I feel like they could apply the game's the games swimming physics to space somehow.

Outlaw Missions [Question]

I was attempting a mission last night that I got from one of the NPC’s at the outlaw station. I was supposed to use pulse drive to find a freighter I am supposed to attack and get cargo pods off of it.. Well, after defeating the ships protecting it and shooting every spot on the ship trying to find the cargo pods, I couldn’t finish it. It’s like they don’t exist? Is this a problem others have had as well?

(Currently at work, so I cannot provide the name of the mission at the moment, but I can provide this later today if it’s needed)

"Overwritten" Ships? [Question]

I LOVE this game first off, but in a happy-drunken adventure yesterday, I encountered a distress signal (downed ship) - fixed it up and tried to sell it but ran into other issues.

However, the ship I was piloting before (my favorite one full of goodies) is nowhere to be found - for context, I have a full collection of cheap ships for fun. Is there any way I can get back my ship?

Do I need the freighter for the expedition? How to call my freighter? [Question]

So after asking around on the subreddit I did the red skies objective using a cadmium drive instead of repairing my freighter since I didn’t have enough nanites for getting a warp hypercore.

Now I’m in a red star system and I can’t call my freighter since it’s damaged still. Do I need the freighter? I have enough nanites to unlock the warp hypercore recipe should I unlock it? How do I summon my freighter!

Without the portal, I’m pretty far from it so does anyone have the coordinates so that I may jump back there and complete it?

It’s a stupid mistake on my part but oh well

Planetary and Solar System Independence? [Discussion]

There are places called Hubs which have the most players living/operating/exploring in space. They were made so that players could play with and make friends. These days, things have gotten political, the founders of these hubs tend to want control of the entire hub which they play in. The people that found these don’t own them, they have no right, but that’s what they want to achieve in my opinion.

The Galactic Hub for example, has the Galactic Hub Defense Force, which is practically a Military Police Force. They even have their own military discipline. Groups of players who play on this Hub often claim to be Republics/Monarchy/Diarchy/Empire/Dictatorship/etc but have no true authority according to the Galactic Hub Defense Force, that can be a problem. Most of these Republics/Empire/etc don’t have an organized Military Force to create authority, sometimes not even the numbers.

Would it mean the Galactic Hub Defense Force would be in fact an empire? Cause they’re the only one in charge and if you go against them you get banned from the discord server.

They have a capital and have a role that claims to assume the role to belong to the Leader of the Galactic Hub(Called the Commander in Chief). There are several leaders in the hub but they work for different political entities. This makes the Galactic Hub more big and diverse in leadership.

Can there be Planet Independence? Solar System Independence?

Why should you, the reader, care? Cause if you’re a person who values freedom not just in real life but in No man’s sky then you should know this would prevent many possible outcomes from Happening. The Galactic Hub is large and it would take 584 billion years to explore it all. For them to just say to assume control of the entire galaxy is outrageous. There are several worlds in this game and they want it all? Let me know what you think. It’s been...

website with ship builder/location [Question]

There is a website that has all the ship types and their parts where you can select parts and see if there is that build found and it's location. Can anyone link it to me? I forgot the name of the site.

Base on top of expedition treasure chest site [Answered]

So some d*ck head put a base on top of the expedition 6 pirate treasure location. As a result it's not possible to dig the treasure up by normal means.

As a workaround, if you interact with the base computer and report the base for obsene content, the game will unload the base for your session and you should be able to dig again. It worked for me.

I had tried also going offline but that didn't work. Hope it helps

#

my complaint with pirate systems and their portal [Discussion]

What is the point of the smuggling system. You can use the portal in the pirate station, warp to your base, then warp to a terminal somewhere to sell everything. Where's the risk that is supposed to come with smuggling?

I was very excited last night to make a whole trade route, I was going to make bases on each system for the express purpose of teleporting to each station, but the fact there's just a portal in the outlaw station means you can get away with never touching space to buy however many illegal goods you want, and just sell them at a normal station.

No sentinel scans, no pirate attacks, just nothing. Seems like a big oversight and a slap in the face to this update.

Took all the fun away from me once I realized how broken that is.

Freighter battles not spawning [Question]

I've had 1 battle happen since the update, and it's been well over 3 hours of gameplay and i've warped well over 5 times since it happened, did this new update change something i'm not aware of?, am i getting unlucky? or is it just a bug i can't seem to fix?

Going to be going for my final Titles, requesting some guidance/clarification. Spoilers, obviously. [Discussion]

Information:

The titles I currently need are: Timeless, The Survivor, The Immortal.

The achievements I currently need are: Take a Deep Breath, To Live Forever

The Survivor/Deep Breath are for completing Survivor mode.

The Immortal/ToLiveForever are for completing Permadeath mode.

Timeless is for refusing to reset the simulation in the 16/16 mission.

(^If my information and obsessive googling is correct)

My plight: I would like to knock out all 5 of these in 1 go, so I guess I need some questions answered.

  1. Does completing the PermaDeath Titles/Achievements also unlock the respective Survivor Achievements?

  2. Does refusing to reset the simulation prevent completion of the Artemis Path and force the player to trek all the way to the center, or can you just turn around and 'change your mind' after refusing?

Ideally, I'd like to do the Artemis Path on Permadeath, refuse during 16/16, then 'change my mind' to complete and finish the quest, and boom, all 5 things done. However, these titles can be a bit finicky sometimes, and I know this might not be possible (if the title requires Artemis completion, if the title requires going to the center, if the title requires etc etc), and I might have to do multiple runs though. I hope not. ;D

In that regard, any information that anyone would like to provide would be welcomed here, as I plan on starting my Permadeath Run very soon. Any Permadeath tips are welcome too.

Under a Rebel Star stuck at Explore the Outlaw Station [Question]

I already made it here and spoke to everyone aboard, got a mission from bounty master, completed it then turned in. I got a passport as well.

Invisible Collision and What's in My Cargo Hold? [Question]

Hi! I'm new to the game. I've only been playing for about 2 weeks. I went into my freighter today to find I couldn't go into my cargo hold. I was planning to turn it into a hydroponics bay, but now there's a layer of invisible collision outside the doors to the bay, and these weird "cement blocks" all throughout the hold. All I had in there currently was a couple dozen Standing Planters and my appearance changing machine.

Anyone know what's happening here?

No man’s sky, quest 2, and windows 11 [Question]

Does anyone play no man’s sky with a quest 2 on windows 11?

I just got a vr headset and wanted to come back to no man’s sky to try it out in vr. It works ok when I’m on a planet but as soon as I get past the atmosphere it becomes a buggy mess with 100ms of latency. I’m guessing it’s probably something with steamvr not working well with windows 11 but was curious if anyone else had any problems.

Btw, elite dangerous works fine.

Public Service Request regarding pirate map 1. [Discussion]

Due to the amount of people who bugged out and didn't get map 1 or the blueprint to craft another, how would people feel about asking those that sit at the anomaly and send unit and nanites gifts, to instead send map 1 to everyone in the expedition saves?

This way, we can get those people their maps without them getting stressed or having to make more posts.

Just an idea? We already send gifts, so, why not send a specific gift to help with this bug?

Expansion Packs for Exosuit bug [Bug]

Nanites and Units [Question]

I'm just coming back into the game after about a year. I've been playing off and on for a few years and so I was wondering what's the best way to get nanites and units? I used to make this delicious soup that I sadly forgot how to make and would sell it on the anomaly one by one for anywhere between 60 and 150 nanites a piece. What are some other methods that would help?

Converting save after expedition [Question]

explore beyond the galactic core, I went back through the portal, WTF there was nothing that told me that I needed to finish in that system that took me to the center. How do I go about fixing this.

Unable to build a base.. Am now homeless roamer.. [Question]

In the latest Expedition, I don’t have the Base Computer as a buildable thing, at all. Been to empty planets and out of the way systems in case it was the expedition route being too crowded or something, but alas, no base for me. 😭 Using my freighter as a sort of roaming base, or bases built by other players, to store stuff. Bit frustrating and I can’t figure out what’s wrong. Bug maybe? Or is this Expedition just too popular, so there’s no place for my base? 😏

Settlements: Apparently, I chose the wrong option [Bug]

Chose Production over Upkeep... I was threatened with doom by the upkeep advocate and it seems like they've made good on the threat

Yeah... pretty sure this is a bug. I was working on my settlement. Had managed to get to, roughly 400k debt, 375k production, and maintenance as shown... then got a settlement decision of minus aprox. 35k maintenance cost or plus aprox. 75k production

I got the production... but also got five and a half million years worth of debt from it.

Should we get NPCs in Freighter? [Discussion]

Basically title. Playing no man’s sky while looking for a new freighter made me take a look at my interior and it feels kind of lonely. Feels weird to have this whole huge ship to ourselves right?

Water in No Man’s Sky [Discussion]

Water in No Man’s Sky is in many ways pretty nifty. Lakes and oceans, filled with life; can even build some amazing underwater places.

But, it’s not particularly realistic. Ok, granted, not everything is super realistic in the game, but water bodies, in particular, are really missing out.

Nothing drove this home more than playing both Subnautica and Horizon Forbidden West. Subnautica is pretty obvious, and they did a very nice job, especially with underwater lighting effects as the day progresses. But Horizon Forbidden West outdid even that.

I’ll pop a link in here to the subreddit and a thread there about it: Horizon Forbidden West water is incredible

I hope HG will take a page out of that and do something similar. It would have to be adapted to circumstances, obviously, given the procedural basis. But I hope it happens. I for one would love to build a neat place near the beach on a paradise world in NMS, be able to sit down, and watch breakers roll in like those in the video.

Help with free freighter missions: I currently can't get one [Bug]

So, I've played for over 10 hours, and I've warped over 10 different times. I have yet to trigger the freighter rescue mission so that I can claim a freighter. Is there anything I can do to fix it? I don't even care if it's a nice one at this point, I would just like to have anything.

Should I just buy one? If so, then do I just fly around until I see one that looks cool?

Maybe I was in the wrong [Discussion]

Story time, bois. (TL;DR at the bottom)

Im kinda new to the game (maybe like 40 hours and loving it so far) and 2 days ago i started to see what the 'Expeditions' are all about.

After fixing my ship and buying some things, i started gathering basic resources for the journey ahead. While exploring i found a Shelter, so i jumped out of my ship and enter but while i was there, a bunch of blue explosions started to appear around me and instantly died.

At first I was confused, I thought those were pirates, but the alarm didn't activate before i was sent to sleep forever, "bug maybe?". Luckily i just got out of my ship, so i spawn right outside and grabbed my stuff back.

After leaving i saw a ship that wasn't mine and a player next to it, the gears in my head started to turn and realized "oh, YOU killed me". A small thought of revenge crossed my mind, but i remembered that all i had was the basic 'Boltcaster', so i did the 'Wave gesture' and left... or at least, that's what i tried to do.

All of the sudden, a bunch of pewpews started flying at my direction, our friend wasn't satisfied sending me to the next existential plane ONCE. Fighting back wasn't an option, he was shooting me with the "shotgun module" way to quick to be the default one and i have no experience PVPing in No Man Sky.

I saw a small lake beside us and got an idea: "maybe i can swim through the plants so they absorb the projectiles instead", then i jumped into the water and gotta say; worked like a charm, our buddy jumped in the water as well and we started a very humid chase scene.

Realizing that i couldn't run forever, i swim onto the shore, summoned my ship and warped to a random system away from this dude.

During the pretty loading screen, i was reflecting on the situation "Should've? Would've? Could've?" and suddenly remembered something a streamer i saw days prior mention (twitch rewards...

Modification Overload on Exosuit [Question]

Hello,

Im a new player. I played for around 45 hrs back around when Atlas Rises came out and just got back into the game with my brother.

We are confused on how overloading works?

As pictured I have an S, B, C, and X mod on my suit and it works fine. But if I replace the C tier upgrade with an S tier it says its overloaded.

However if I replace the X tier with the S tier it works fine again.

How does this system work so that we can better plan upgrades around the system. How do the overload limits work. If I take 2 upgrades and leave them in general do they still provide bonuses even if they arent connected to "Life Support"

We Need More Alien Specie's [Discussion]

For a game that has 255 galaxies (which a few people have actually been to all of them) we only have 3 alien species we can interact with

We got the Gek, Korvax and the Vy'Keen.....yea...that's it. The only other species we can find is in the Anomaly and Only the Anomaly. Why can't we get there species out more in gameplay.

Also we could EASILY have a bit of a revamped of the Alien Creatures. Like there are some cool alien models but seriously tho, why tf most of em got like small heads? Like with Heads the size of our hand and the body the size of a tree. Also we can all agree that 90% of the creatures are the same for all planets but different by a small amount like size, colors, added horns or wings or stuff like that, and of course the shrinking of heads.

base computer and building problem [Bug]

hello, I just started to play no man's sky. when I first launched the game in normal mode with my friends, I was able to place a base computer and build. but then, I jumped into new save in expedition mode and now I can't see the base computer in building menu.

Freighter Help [Bug]

So I got my first Freighter on my newest save, built the command room etc but didn't interact with it. Came back today and the Command Console still exists, but the wall I built it on is blocked off as if there's nothing there. I can't get outside the ship to delete the structure, and any extra command room I build doesn't count towards the quest to interact with the console. Tried exchanging my freighter for another one, and now I just can't build on this one flat out, but I have the same issue. It's marked the command room on my HUD, but currently it's in space behind a wall I can't interact with. Any help would be great because currently I can't get the blueprint for freighter fuel or continue the freighter quest chain.

Do the rewards only apply to that save or to my steam account?

A few questions [Question]

Hi,

I am new to the game, started playing it last weekend and have spent now around 16-17 hours total. It is really an impressive game. There are very few which fascinate me in a way that it makes it hard to quit a session.

There are some things I am not sure if I am doing them „right“.

-There are many different upgrades for Exo Suit, Ship etc. I understood that they are also categorised into S, A, B, C and some in X. So if you have a couple of Shield upgrades with let’s say 15%, 8% and 28% Shield boost - do they add to each other? Or does the one which should be used need to be in a Tech-Slog instead of main or cargo? No right? Once you have them installed you can move them around to other slots and it won’t change anything.

-When you have them installed once, they can’t be transferred to another ship you buy or exchange. They can only be discarded for raw materials?

-I had a class A Shuttle with 23 Main Slots, 6 Tech Slots and 5 Cargo. Then I found the first Class „S“ Squid Ship. I read this is a solid and relatively rare one. So I had just enough cash to buy it while trading in the shuttle. Squid 🦑 has only 19 Slots but while I was thinking if it was the right decision to give away my Class A Shuttle with all the tech installed, I looked around and still saw my previous ship on the landing pod next to me. I went to the entity that sold me the squid and got the option to claim my old ship for free?! Klicked it and really got that one back. Why is that?

-Does it make sense in general to „stack“ tech like shield upgrades and occupy many inventory slots for that? Or do you just keep the upgrade with the best stats and get rid of others?

-Why can’t I get more Inventory Slots for the ship? At the console in the space station this option is always greyed out?

Thanks for any advice

Under a Rebel Star Glitch? [Bug]

The quest's glitched for me. Specifically, when I was trying to do it before, it would simply not allow me to search for the distress signal point of origin after landing on a planet. After a few failed attempts, it allowed me to do it- but then there was nothing at the actual point of origin.

Okay. Shame, but moving on. Except I can't move on. The current objective is permanently locked into displaying, and I quote "The distress beacon's log has triggered an alarm! Corrupted Sentinels remaining: Unknown."

There used to be a way to reset missions. I can't seem to find that anymore, so does anyone have a fix?

Finally fought through all 5 sentinel waves, even killed the Walker but, still no boundary map [Question]

This is the last major thing I have to do to finish Expedition 6 and I had the impression that surviving all 5 sentinel waves would get you a map.

I even reset and I fought back through the first wave before heading to the space station to check inventory but....NO MAP!!!

Need some help navigating Expedition 6 ending [Question]

I borked the end of phase 5.

I followed the pirate map to the pirate portal, went through to Rendezvous 5, then returned to some other systems to take care of some other missions before making the jump to the galaxy core. Now without the map I can't find the portal back to the Rendezvous 5 system. Going to the galaxy core any other way doesn't seem to work, it has to be from the Rendezvous 5 system.

I can get to the Rendezvous 4 system (Aktsahiro) since I visited the space station there, but can't find the pirate portal back to Rendezvous 5 so I can journey to the core.

Any helpful suggestions would be very welcome! Thanks!

Planet renaming - can it be changed (again) before upload [Question]

So, say for example I name a planet and make a mistake (or I name it something for just for a pic).

Can I change the name of the planet again before I upload) it?

Is there any way to "un-redeem" rewards? [Question]

I'm trying to un-redeem certain rewards as for some reason no matter how many new saves I make it's always redeemed.

In the RAW Editor I can see two folders one is "RedeemedSeasonRewards" and "RedeemedTwitchRewards" but I delete the internals of it and it doesn't do anything to my game.

Pretty much I broke my game and tried to start fresh but it's not working.

Ive been stuck on this quest for 3 years. Says to find apollos contact. Ive tried black holes, different galaxy, going back to start system. I acquired the cylindrical room and foundation. Ive re hired all of my staff multiple times. Idk what else to do. No matter how far I go it never gives me an option to reset the quest. I can do it with other quest just not that one. I AM NOT STARTING A NEW GAME. Waaaay to many hours would be wasted. This is what made me stop playing before and its looking like its gonna be the same this time. What a joke 3 years and the quest is still trashed. A quick google search will show you multiple people are STILL having this issue other then me. If anyone knows anything that can help pleeease tell me im going insane.

I need help [Question]

I have been playing the game for a few weeks now after a friend told me about it. So far, i found a paradise planet. Yet I am having trouble finding out how to play the game. I also do not understand how to get enough resources to unlock upgrades and structures. The main issue is the nanites and buried technology. What should I do?

#

What have I missed? The good, the bad, and the ugly? [Discussion]

I was gifted the game soon after it came out, and played past the Foundations update on PS4 before moving onto other games and life things. I haven't been back to my old base yet because this past weekend when I thought I'd pick it up again (fighting a cold) I jumped into this expedition thing. I just got to the system with the first rendezvous tonight, will actually hit the rendezvous tomorrow

What do I have to look forward to that is new? What should I avoid if I can? Is my old base going to be any good anymore?

Stuck in a rut [Question]

I need quantum computers to advance in the current expedition. I don’t have enough nanites to get the recipe. I can’t find anyone to buy them. I am at my wits end. Were they a reward from the missions in the expedition? Did I stupidly sell them? I need help. I’ve been at this since day one and I don’t play enough each days. It makes trying for that cape feel stupid.

Starter Freighter Issues - more details in body [Question]

Sorry if this is inappropriate for the sub

Some context: I recently began a new save file/playthrough and I'm about 12 hours in. I had a previous file at around 150 hours that I abandon around the Origins update, just about Next Generation. I've kept an eye on the latest updates the last couple years and finally got the itch to play again. I've immensely enjoyed this game as it's developed spectacularly.

To the point, I'm having some issues landing my first freighter again. I know you have to warp into a system after the 3hrs/5 warps, it has a 3 hour refractory period, and that it's an in-progress battle in which you receive the freighter's distress signal but it's been yet to happen for me.

Is this just a matter of patience?

Additional info: - I've warped over 40 times and killed 100+ pirate ships. - In the same file, I was able to get the freighter surprisingly quickly but through an awful mix up of an autosave vs manual save issue upon death, I lost my progress and am trying to rebuild. - Since my mistake (consequence of save summing), it's been 24 hours and there's been at least 4+ hours in-game time.

I suppose I'm just seeking some reassurance to keep trying, but I want to see if this has been an issue for anyone else, if I've misunderstood the trigger factors, or if perhaps it's a bug.

Thanks!

Expedition 6, save a freighter bugged? [Question]

So I did step 3 of phase 1 the other night, Liberation: Rescue an interstellar freighter, almost as soon as leaving my starting planet, got my rewards and free freighter, assessed what I would need to fix the cadmium drive, then called it a night and logged out without saving. I'm new to the game and keep forgetting it's not an MMO and was banking off of my autosaves.

I logged back in the following day and still had my freighter, but the milestone for Liberation: Rescue an interstellar freighter and the rewards I received for it were now unfulfilled and gone. I scoured nearby systems and continued the other milestones until I found another civilian freighter being attacked by pirates. I killed them off, got the milestone for killing 24 pirates in the process, but Liberation: Rescue an interstellar freighter is still not showing as completed. The quest still is in my log as unfulfilled.

I will repost in bug reports if needed, but I mainly need to know if theres something I can do to fix this or if I need to cut my losses and start a new Expedition 6 character before I waste any more time.

Thanks everyone.

Question about squadrons [Question]

If I’ve found an S class ship in a system that I already bought one of a long time ago, 1) can I go back to that system and recruit them into my squadron and 2) will they all be S class pilots? Thanks

#

Sentenals don't attack pirates? [Suggestion]

It makes sense for the most part but it does strike me as weird that I cant blast a piece of Yashcite for 2 seconds without having 10 sentenals on my ass. So why can pirates come in and attack sentenal structures and landscape and get left alone from the sentenal starships. Another example is you cant attack freighters in space without sentenal starships rolling up either. Idk just a thought.

#

Freighter upgrade modules?! [Question]

Ever since the update I’ve only seen them twice or so in freighter cargo pods. The grind to upgrade the freighter has slowed to a crawl. Anybody else notice this or have any suggestions?

#

So how do you veterans do it? [Discussion]

When I started this game I threw down bases on a ridiculous amount of planets. I have since cleaned up all that mess.

I have decided to place 1 base per galaxy and then warp and black hole around from that.

Am I close to your thinking?

I also need a link from someone about the codes and letters that describe a solar system..G4pf ...those codes

#

we should be able to teleport to our freighters [Suggestion]

As the title suggests. We should be able to teleport to our freighter. It would be useful since I use my freighter as my main base and it can be a big pain having to fly to my freighter every time I want to do something in my base. I know you can teleport the freighter to you, but I think it would be better if you could Teleport directly to the freighter.

#

Walker Brain, please? [Question]

I'm doing the expedition and I've killed 5 walkers and haven't gotten a brain yet. Would someone be willing to part with on perhaps so I can stop picking fights with sentinels? I would be ever so greatful.

Atlas Path v Long Trek [Question]

Hello World

So I've just reached the final part of the bio-ship quest and hit a snag, I'd entirely forgotten about the involvement of gates in getting to the last planet... and was mostly enjoying my time working with my Settlement rather than traveling about doing the Atlas Path to get the gate symbols.

So, which do you think would be the more expedited means of completing the bio-ship quest:

Running the Atlas Path from the beginning or simply flying the long way to the final planet with a 204 jump range and +20% efficiency drive? Advice on improving the drive would also be helpful since I'm apparently going to have this ship longer than intended either way.

Must have PC mods? [Question]

Played NMS for like 20 hrs or something on PS4, really liked it except for the inventory system. I'm now on PC and starting fresh. What mods are a must??

#

Ship overwritten? [Question]

So I went ship hunting for one of the new ones, ran into another player who was doing the same. We find the ship, he claims it. Whats weird is it gave me a prompt to get in like I already owned it. Now I have the ship, but it has the same slots, stats, technology, and name as the ship I somehow “replaced” by getting in the new ship. Normally Id just accept the glitch, since I wanted the ship anyways, but it means I dont have the vesper sail since it copied the same tech from my other ship and doesnt even act like I got the new ship. Is this a known glitch? Is there a way to revert it back?

#

New to the game [Question]

I just started playing today and I saw ships flying in the sky, do you get anything if you manage to shoot one down?

#

I think they should improve planetary exploration [Suggestion]

I feel like i just visiting the planet, not actually exploring them. More variety and multi biomes might be cool, also dungeons and mini puzzle would make it better too. Fighting sentinel inside a structure or cave would be nice, or even add more biological horror in caves and put high reward. On the exploration side you could add more biomes so you the other side of a mountain will be a different experience, add super rare flora or fauna and get high reward for finding them. It will add different play styles.

No Connection to Matchmaking Services [Bug]

So I just got back into this game after a while of putting it aside. Updated to latest patch and launched the game only to find the Anomaly a complete ghost town, when I go to network it gives me a "No connection to matchmaking services" error. I googled it and found out it's very common, and then I tried every fix I came across. Setting my timezone to auto, Restarting the game, adding firewall rules and resetting my internet connection. Nothing worked and I'm still stuck not being able to play with or see anyone, and it's pretty annoying AND weird, especially that this never happened to me before, and the online discovery servers are working properly.

Is there any permanent solution to this or will I never be able to play online again?

How exactly does the multiplayer work? [Question]

I've played sporadically since the NEXT update so I've seen multiplayer change a lot and I'm kinda lost on how it is now. I know per session you can have up to 4 but the Nexus let's you interact with 32. But, I also see systems being discovered by other players so is every player in the same galaxy?

#

Lost Progress? [Question]

Im not sure if i did but i don’t have anything in my inventory. did this happens to everyone with the worlds update? (idek if that’s a thing i think i saw someone say there was one)

"Collect twitch rewards" option no longer available at quicksilver merchant (Xbox One) [Bug]

I've seen others on this sub posting about the same thing, but I have tried everything I can think of to fix it, including all the tips commented on similar posts. During the latest twitch drop event, I were able to claim my rewards from the quicksilver merchant up until day two. After that the option dissapeared. I have tried the following:

Made sure that the rewards are claimed on twitch, all the accounts are linked, the "Online discovery services" are active in game, the items marked as "Success! Item unlocked" on HG:s twitch page, the items being claimed on twitch within 24h

Unlinking my xbox account from twitch, and unlinking my twitch account from NMS, and relinking them

Having the twitch app open and logged in when launching NMS

Reinstalling the game

After none of this worked, I filed a ticket to HG (report bug). The automated response I got said "We won't always reply back to bug reports unless we feel there's further information we need".

So now I turn to you. If anyone has found a fix for this, or gotten an actual response from HG, please share 🙏

can PC players not report bases? [Question]

I'm on a portal network run to collect glyphs and one of the portals had a base built right on top of it, I wandered a bit looking to see if there was a way out and shortly after a message popped up by another player who was also trapped with me stating that it was messed up and that there wasn't a way out.

As soon as I saw that message I immediately just reported the base and it disappeared freeing me, but the person who said there was no way out kept wandering inside eventually they went back to the DHD so I'm assuming they was dialing out or something. Can PC players not report bases? I'm on PS4 and was really wanting to inform them to just report the base but you can't access the in game chat on console (at least that I'm aware of)

Sentinel Quad [Question]

Two questions: are players able to trade quad eggs? And does anyone have one they're willing to trade for either a ton of tainted metal or some cargo bulkhead modules? I missed the last expedition unfortunately. I'm on PS4 if that makes any difference.

any tips on getting pirates to attack you now? [Question]

i am doing the expedition and i am really kicking myself for not realizing that there was an objective to kill pirates before the patch that lowered their attacks. i need to kill 32 and in the last 3 hours of playing, i have only run into 5. i have my inventory loaded up with valuable loot and i am in a high conflict system too. i have just been flying around waiting to be attacked. what am i doing wrong?

Where do I find the Antimatter and Antimatter Housing blueprint? [Question]

Hello, I created a new save since I messed up my former save... I have a blueprint for the Warp Cell bit I can't craft the Antimatter and Antimatter Housings, I still haven't done the "make a base" initial mission and I was thinking that I could place that base on a planet I like since my starting star system has some pretty ugly planets. I remember that my last playthrough from my previous save, I was able to jump into another star system before doing the "make a base" mission and I forgot how I did that since I already crafted a Warp Cell on my starting phase of the game.

Can't start the Under a Rebel Star quest [Question]

I'm trying to acquire the 'Shroud of Freedom' hood in the new Outlaws update, but I'm having issues triggering the quest to get it. I feel like I've done everything I'm supposed to do in order to start it up, including pulsing through normal (not pirate) systems, but nothing is working. Anybody else having any problems with this?
