nms-spoilers

[fallen warren]

okay

so

[storm shell]

Can someone please fucken take me there

[gusty berry]

so the title and banner should work now

[fallen warren]

i cant get anything to activate in normal mode

[astral karma]

but

[fallen warren]

so it might be unique to the expedition

[amber lava]

Okay well I was able to deploy the myth beacon, yay 😂

[astral karma]

more than likely

[fallen warren]

which is weird

[storm shell]

Will someone please take me there , please

[wind panther]

I swear when I saw that Normandy SR1 I started running through my memory to see if I had actually modded that in

[fallen warren]

cause i can buy the myth beacon in normal mode

but all i can really do with it is hold E and get a ping sound effect

[gusty berry]

I feel if you had you'd have shown us

[bitter hedge]

Guys seriously, what do I do?

[wind panther]

Very very good point

[gusty berry]

frigate and freighter replacements are tricky shit and are not often done

[storm shell]

Why is no one helping us

[wind panther]

Yeah, I think I looked at it and went, f* that

[gusty berry]

ah there we go, NORMANDYFRIGATE is the scene

[astral karma]

fuck, now I hope they add Doomguy as one very, very confused Traveller

[amber lava]

That's what happened to me, too. So then I looked around for an atlas looking icon (the diamond pyramid thing). I set a waypoint to a system, then warped, then it suddenly actually had a waypath thing for me to travel along (in the galaxy map).

[storm shell]

I'm fucken done

[astral karma]

xD

[tame shell]

Master Chief when

[fallen warren]

were you on normal, or expedition mode?

[timid mist]

for anyone who can't find it on the map, do you have discovery server connection? Same question for those who can (without modding)

[storm shell]

I'm not helping people anymore

[gusty berry]

master chef gordon ramsey when

[mighty rampart]

kinda funny it was playing supermoon

[astral karma]

@storm shell woo sah my dude

[amber lava]

Expedition, of course, that's where you get the reward

[wind panther]

Pin the milestone in the expedition window, then look around. Warp if it doesn't show anyhting yet

[scarlet holly]

I have the same problem, please can someone help 😦

[fallen warren]

its very strange you can buy the myth beacon in normal mode, despite it not seeming to do anything

[mighty rampart]

is it also part of the ME reference

[blazing river]

yup

[astral karma]

maybe they're putting it there so you can do something with it later (god that phrasing is bad but it's past my bedtime)

[amber lava]

Maybe it lets you add the normandy if you unlocked it with expedition? idk 😂

[wind panther]

A little too meta, though I'm saying that after just experiencing one of the biggest crossovers ever

[hazy lintel]

what the fuck did i walk into

[astral karma]

hell

[fallen warren]

no mans effect

[mighty rampart]

personally I have no opinion either way because I dont know the games but I think it is awesome in a way to add crossovers to other games when NMS is already incredibly meta

[fossil rapids]

wait so the mass effect ship is real? I thought that was a joke lol

[fallen warren]

so heres my question

[scarlet holly]

its 100% real

[mighty rampart]

the jokester got joked huh

[timid mist]

Yeah I can't get a location either

[fallen warren]

you can land on frigates to repair them right?

[mighty rampart]

cant land on the normandy

[fallen warren]

try landing on the normandy

[tame shell]

aw

[timid mist]

No connection to discovery servers, wonder if that matters for some reason

[wind panther]

No landing points

[royal osprey]

Normandy has no landing pads

[mighty rampart]

no landing spots

[tame shell]

thats a bummer

[wind panther]

But there's the mention of repairing damage in the expedition completion part

[cobalt scroll]

im still shocked this is so disappointing. Im off for a bit have a goodnight guys

[astral karma]

I give it three hours until someone figures out how to jump off of it and into a black hole

[bitter hedge]

Just tried that, still nothing

[sand karma]

Yeah couldn't land on the Normandy either

[timid mist]

Same

[mighty rampart]

honestly looks cool but yeah it being a frigate is a bummer because I dont do fleet expeditions

[gusty berry]

so their solution to interior compatibility is... not having one?

[fossil rapids]

it's real?

[mighty rampart]

its real

[tame shell]

its real

[scarlet holly]

its real

[fossil rapids]

thats cool

[wanton path]

interesting... from Bounday Failures: "There is a shape in darkness, their head turned away, their back and shoulders hunched"

[blazing river]

interesting that they went with sr1 instead of sr2

[astral karma]

fuck yea give me Doomguy

[gusty berry]

anyway the scene name is all I can get since we can't access reward table nor alien puzzle table as of now, so no instant gratification... yet

[timid mist]

@wanton path that was a community photo anyways

Sean just didn't credit it lol

[rapid palm]

I'm kinda happy it's a frigate and not a capital ship... Don't want to rebuild my ship base and I like my Star destroyer.

[wanton path]

yeah but... coincidence?

[astral karma]

escort quest to Raxxla, buddy cop-ing around the universe with Doomguy

[hazy lintel]

i'm shaking for the wrong reason, because i have a very slight feeling that reapers may very well be canon now

[wind panther]

He never credits stuff. You would think the legal people at HG wouldl talk to him about that

[bitter hedge]

So my expedition is literally bugged and unable to be completed because a badge is refusing to unlock. 4/5 phase 5 and the one that's bugged is acquire the myth beacon

[timid mist]

I'm glad it's a frigate cause I can more easily ignore it lol

[cobalt scroll]

same @timid mist

[blazing river]

right?! does kind of tie in, with the Crucible and all - the weapon reference in nms

[timid mist]

He does credit sometimes now after people pointed it out

[gusty berry]

NMS is technically HG's property lol

[mighty rampart]

well, fair point

[kind salmon]

Oh shot what's happening

[scarlet holly]

i have the same problem, does anyone have any ideas?

[kind salmon]

Just got here

[astral karma]

crossover frigate

[hazy lintel]

what seems to be no mans sky x mass effect

[kind salmon]

Wtf is mass effect

[astral karma]

a video game

[tame shell]

a buncha games

third person scifi rpg/shooter

[hazy lintel]

a lotta games

[blazing river]

very fun games 🥰

[kind salmon]

Mmmk anything else?

[tame shell]

ive yet to play them but ME looks fun

[mighty rampart]

ME is celebrating 25 years or something right?

[blazing river]

nah hahaha the first game came out in 2007

[tame shell]

they remastered the original trilogy recently

[hazy lintel]

story based 3rd person shooter with semi-social elements, my perspective since i've yet to play them

[wind panther]

They own NMS, but the individual screenshots get into very murky water. Best to be safe and just credit them.

[kind salmon]

?

[mighty rampart]

I was wondering if something special happened for them to include this crossover

[timid mist]

Yeah guess I'm waiting for a patch lol

[astral karma]

fwiw when Sean comes across an image on the sub or twitter, and decides to post it, I've seen him credit the original poster

[undone solar]

Still not too sure what I need to do with this myth beacon 🤔
Been using it every now and then but nothing happens and I'm following a path laid out on the galaxy map but it doesn't show an objective

[astral karma]

like I know he at least tries

[timid mist]

He's just not consistent with it

[astral karma]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

fair

[wind panther]

My brain still hasn't wrapped itself around this. Seems so weird

[timid mist]

I took a melatonin last night before bed so maybe this is a weird dream

[kind salmon]

So that's it? A new freighter?

[sand karma]

I still can't believe it

[wind panther]

That's better odds than this being real

[kind salmon]

Frigate

[astral karma]

pinch yourself, and welcome to Crossovers

[sand karma]

Frigate not freighter

[subtle gorge]

Inb4 hello games gets bought out by EA

[kind salmon]

ALL WE GET IS A FRIGATE?

[mighty rampart]

a COOL frigate

[fossil rapids]

They're really fun but make sure you do all sideobjectives in case you wan to get a perfect playthrough as the stuff carriers over to ME2

[kind salmon]

I haven't used a frigate in like a year

[astral karma]

oh fuck I was considering doing that prank for April Fool's

[wind panther]

It did only take like 4 hours of gameplay

[royal osprey]

It's alright

[mighty rampart]

I wont use it either

[royal osprey]

I prefer vanilla Frigates tbh

[tame shell]

stuff carries over?! i like 👀

[mighty rampart]

but hey for a short 2 week expedition I think its an alright reward

[timid mist]

I'll use it for like 10 seconds on my expedition save

[tame shell]

thats pretty cool

[fossil rapids]

yeah the story decisions carry over

[waxen garnet]

They tried to subvert people's expectations and ended up doing some random stuff.

[fossil rapids]

it can have a big impact on the story

[wind panther]

Super random

[gusty berry]

there we go, updated banner and titles

[sand karma]

My expectations have been thorougly subverted

[tame shell]

watch update 16 involve the lore teasers we had

[timid mist]

Btw does this have to be a specific boundary failure cause nothing causes it to show up on my galaxy map

[kind salmon]

Yeah... Idk about this call murray

[real sapphire]

Whats with all dem nomandy from ME

[mighty rampart]

so let's see how the dosimeter works in normal mode

[undone solar]

to be fair, this expedition is pretty short and easy to do, so a frigate doesn't sound that bad as a reward.
Just think of it this way, whatever will be the next reward is next week instead of 6 weeks away

[royal osprey]

It's the expedition reward

[real sapphire]

Oh?

[fossil rapids]

time to do the expedition later today lol

[bitter hedge]

Anyone got any suggestions to help me with my bug or am I just screaming into the void?

[blazing river]

would be nice to have some more collectibles like a Glyph statue or a shifty cow thing because that taps into the silly stuff that both games have

[sand karma]

Depending on what your bug is plenty of people have answered 😄

[mighty rampart]

cant wait for redditors to lose their minds

[timid mist]

@bitter hedge I'm guessing we probably need to wait on a patch

[leaden tapir]

careful when you go to the area. Some dude keeps griefing players and killing them

[gusty berry]

I want a Krogan waifu

[astral karma]

#nms-questions, but I will note you are absolutely not the only one experiencing it, as there's posts flooding the subreddit asking the same question.

[blazing river]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/600944807321534466/810088383011487764/makesweet.gif

[waxen garnet]

That's the actual content, there.

[astral karma]

I am already bracing for a slammed modqueue

believe me

[mighty rampart]

the real expeditions is the what the fuck we get

[vague oriole]

I just wanted fucking lore

[wind panther]

I think you just got some really weird lore

[waxen garnet]

This update will give you more work than it did to HG lol

[vague oriole]

That's not nms lore

[kind salmon]

I just wanted something exciting that actually makes sense

[gusty berry]

you'll prolly get more lore in the next expedition

[mighty rampart]

Well now it is NMS lore

[gusty berry]

...and the golden suit

[scarlet holly]

Guys, does anyone have any ideas as to why the "acquire myth beacon" badge isn't unlocking on the new expedition there is another guy having the same problem too, have unlocked it but the badge its self just isn't unlocking

i've tried everything...

Could it just be a case of waiting or something???

[vague oriole]

THAT'S NOT GEK VYKEEN AND KORVAX LORE

[mighty rampart]

The 3 races were involved with the characters in ME

I think it's fun and crazy to think about

Re-reading all the lines with this in mind

[tame shell]

Gek confirmed for ME Andromeda 2

[kind salmon]

#nms-questions would probably be a better place

[storm shell]

@mighty rampart can you take me to the system please?

[wind panther]

The cycles repeat, same in NMS and ME. Their appearances vary some, but maybe the same races?

[amber lava]

Mmm, I can see a Red Dwarf freighter in the future... 🤔

[gusty berry]

what if NMS is a simulation made for Shepard by the reapers

[small herald]

ummmm that expedition rewards is... kinda disappointing but at the same time pretty hilarious and interesting

[scarlet holly]

i don't want to spoil anything for anyone, is it still ok to ask there?

[gusty berry]

and we're the ones getting jacked in to rescue him

[astral karma]

yes

[sand karma]

I'm still adjusting, but getting more amused the more I think about it 😛

[scarlet holly]

Thank you

[mighty rampart]

Multiplayer doesn't work well for me, sorry

[kind salmon]

Just type "EXPEDITION SPOILERD: ||then hide your text like this||"

[storm shell]

Np

[blazing river]

apex legends did a tiny little collab with mass effect the other day i think, let me search it up

[waxen garnet]

I'm not romancing a GEK

[blazing river]

gotta be a geth sim tbh

[vague oriole]

Why does the very atlas looking thing summon mass effect tho

I made so many theories

[tame shell]

Theres so many cool collabs they can do in NMS

Imagine having a Cowboy Bebop freighter with an X-Wing and a Cobra MK3 parked inside. Also, pod racer exocrafts?

[small herald]

let me get this straight, is this mass effect ship that actual weapon talked about in the lore? if so that's even more hilarious

[kind salmon]

I figured the first game nms would ever cross over with would be subnautica

[blazing river]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TduVfNh45mQ

[mighty rampart]

I think its just so funny when our theories get shot down like this

[gusty berry]

that's the expedition reward page right

[mighty rampart]

yes

[gusty berry]

thank I gotta see if I can dig into that one instead

[mighty rampart]

like there is probably nobody who even thought that HG would add something from another game

[kind salmon]

What does the dosimeterr do in normal mode saves?

[scarlet holly]

ooo thank you

[gusty berry]

nop can't decomp unlockableseasonalrewards

[sand karma]

Testing right now

[tame shell]

itll probably give QS

[kind salmon]

Please update with results

[vague oriole]

It would be but it's mass fucking effect

[timid mist]

What's the name of the system for the myth beacon? And is it a good distance from rendezvous 5?

[kind salmon]

I mean I guess it worked, because now I want to see what ME actually I'd lol

[wind panther]

The frigate details page is kind of humorous

[sand karma]

Nope just go to Rendezvous 1

[wind panther]

Needs aquarium

[north bough]

I just started playing mass effect with the legendary edition and am really enjoying it so this is really awesome for me. Looking forward to unlocking it

[timid mist]

Oh is that all

[sand karma]

It's right next to R1

[blazing river]

oh yeah did you see that they put EDI as a VI and not as an unshackled AI? kinda funny imo

[timid mist]

Nice

[mighty rampart]

Seems like myth beacon would be useless to aquire in other modes

[astral karma]

inhales

Alright, so we're aware of the expedition reward, and we know you're all hyped to get it. Anyone experiencing problems with the expedition to complete it should verify game files through Steam, as that has been reported as a potential fix for the issue.

On console, a potential fix may be restarting the console.

SHOULD YOU STILL HAVE ISSUES, please report it to HG's Zendesk https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new, then ask for help in #nms-questions, using spoiler markdown || as necessary.

[mighty rampart]

You get the frigate as the reward

[kind salmon]

@scarlet holly ^

[fallen warren]

i mean, its the SR1, EDI wasnt in the SR1, cerberus made her for the SR2

[sand karma]

Can't transmit data from Monoliths on normal

[fallen warren]

SR1 just had a VI, as shown in bring down the sky

[gloomy isle]

IMPORTANT: On console, restarting the game can get the myth beacon to work as intended

[tame shell]

aw

[astral karma]

thank you, editing pin

[blazing river]

fair enough, but i believe it's just them playing it fast and loose with the continuity according to this line

[uncut harness]

So it's a frigate then? That's also nice

[wanton path]

ok wtf, this is for real? ME+NMS as easter or real fusion????

omg

[uncut harness]

Anyone could tell what colour scheme it features?

[sand karma]

As a boundary failure crossover 😛

[mighty rampart]

I guess they let you get the dosimeter in cross saves so you can read the lore again

[scarlet holly]

that didn't work 😦 i picked up the beacon before the patch dropped so it's bugged the expedition so that isn't working

[fallen warren]

i mean, battle of the citadel

[wanton path]

Imagine If Shepard spawns from a Portal...

[sand karma]

Can't read lore on normal at least right now :#

[blazing river]

did the normandy get damaged at all though if we go by the cutscenes?

just a very specific detail that seems a bit too on the nose

[fallen warren]

i mean, yes? we see it taking fire during the attack

[scarlet holly]

thank you for the tag 🙂 and thanks for trying to help @astral karma verifying just doesn't work 😦

[astral karma]

like I said

potential fix

see edited pin

[kind salmon]

So IK that the frigate is one of the rewards. but whats the other one? since there's stage 5 reward and the final expedition one.

[bitter hedge]

So I am aware of what is causing the bug, the bug is caused by buying the myth beacon before the patch dropped. Downloading the patch does not work nor does verifying the game cache.

[mental socket]

so umm

[scarlet holly]

Yeah 🙂 that's why i thanked for trying ❤️

[royal osprey]

Just two titles

[mental socket]

what happened

[timid mist]

Okay so if you warp to rendezvous 5 it seems to activate the galaxy map

[mental socket]

what is the rewards

[scarlet holly]

^

[mighty rampart]

yeah dosimeter doesnt work in normal mode

[bitter hedge]

Downloading the patch gives you the ability to continue the expedition with the myth beacon but will bug that progress badge

[kind salmon]

We got a crossover frigate for the final reward. ME

Mass Effect

[mental socket]

wait, not even a freighter

[wind panther]

There's probably some super huge deal hiding in the files that we are completely missing because we're so focused on Normandy. Oh well

[kind salmon]

mhm

[mental socket]

xD

[blazing river]

just to double check i went through the battle of the citadel cutscene right now, and the normandy isn't explictly shown taking damage, only surrounding frigates are damaged
||https://youtu.be/yVAq1br2how||

[tame shell]

The ultimate bamboozle

[gusty berry]

not that we can check it since 1/3 of the tables are updated rn

[mental socket]

well that was disappointment

[mighty rampart]

cant wait for next expedition, its rewards sound fun

[kind salmon]

We alreayd know it's reward!?

[mighty rampart]

golden themed suit

[royal osprey]

Next expedition is gonna be a crossover with fortnite

[mighty rampart]

yeah it was datamined a while ago

[scarlet holly]

LOL

[gusty berry]

can't wait to goddamn floss

[tame shell]

oh ye gods

nah watch it be a Putt-Putt exocraft

[royal osprey]

I would love that ngl

[kind salmon]

I already predicted that a longgggg time ago

[hearty karma]

I could get down with a Putt-Putt exocraft. ngl

[wind panther]

Next expedition is Doomguy in gold armor

[astral karma]

and you have to fly him to a Halo

[kind salmon]

#no-mans-sky message

[vague oriole]

Look i can get used to this I'm just dissapointed it's not atlas lore

[gusty berry]

unacceptable, not even unicorn armor

[kind salmon]

^Fortnite crossover

[gusty berry]

truly a visionary

[wind panther]

I just pray they have some sort of lore expansion that even tries to tie this in a little bit

[timid mist]

Boundary failure

[severe sun]

reality leak ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tame shell]

boundary failure is the lore, unfortunately

[vague oriole]

Me too

[gusty berry]

Shepard prolly said this to Atlas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oApBrFAtRrc

[sand karma]

Reality is brokennn

[blazing river]

HAHAHAHA

i bet yeah

[astral karma]

...damnit

[fallen warren]

i mean, since the entire thing is the universe is a simulation, someone moving a file into the wrong folder would be a simple enough explanation

[astral karma]

I will rename this channel nms-spoiler-gulag

[wind panther]

Wait, so ME was all a simulation, too?

[tame shell]

somebody modded the simulation by uploading a 3d model of the Normandy

[wind panther]

Or Atlas sampled ME for its simulation?

[gusty berry]

"reaper indoctrination" is the right phrase I think

[gusty berry]

can't believe HG modded their own game

[sand karma]

Sean is suspiciously queit still 😛

[subtle gorge]

It's also early

[blazing river]

but yeah @fallen warren (i apologize for pinging you) even if the SR1 was damaged it has to be either the battle of the Citadel or the Feros colonists climbing up on the ship, and i don't think the latter case has any lasting effects

[waxen garnet]

It's funny that in both games you end your journey picking a color.

[astral karma]

it's like 1PM in the UK

[wind panther]

I do not want to be him right now!

Busted!

[astral karma]

xD

[blazing river]

i spent too much time playing mass effect i lost touch with reality 😦

[storm shell]

A golden freighter would have been better lol

[blazing river]

i've been playing the games for like, 10 years now?

[vague oriole]

The path dissapeared

What now

[sand karma]

I have finished Andromeda recently and want to get the remaster 😛

[wind panther]

Oh wait, now we have a custom frigate model to play with/replace... good times

[blazing river]

sounds great! hope you have a good time

[sand karma]

Don't follow it. Just port to Rendezvous 1 and get there in a second.

[fallen warren]

naaah, just like this, this is clearly the lore explanation

[mental socket]

So umm, what do we do with the thing? It can't be landed so what if it's broken

[astral karma]

official lore confirm by Eva

[timid mist]

Might just be invincible

[mental socket]

ah

[sand karma]

Maybe it doesn't break

[grizzled apex]

Oh damn what's happening?

[mental socket]

what's the point tho, we can't even fly our frigates... :c

[small herald]

any interesting plot developments other than the mystery weapon being normandy?

[mental socket]

still, honestly a nice surprise

[blazing river]

really is!

[vague oriole]

Actually that couldn't be the lore

[storm shell]

Nein

[wind panther]

I think the point is just a funny/fun crossover thing to have

[mental socket]

not something I wanted but... still something unexpected

[vague oriole]

The atlas' crator was uploaded into the simualtion

[icy citrus]

I mean, it's free and optional - pretty cool nod imo

[wanton path]

Atlas creator just purchased ME legendary edition and get over excited

[icy citrus]

Nothing to get mad or disappointed about, not like this is the end of updates or anything

[timid mist]

Ok so the fact that we start by using exocraft is neat but it would've been such a better call-out if they had us use the Colossus

[fallen warren]

ngl, it makes the beachhead title extremely big brained

[timid mist]

Since it's clearly inspired by the mako in design

[wanton path]

what if the massive freighter from the last lore it's a Reaper?

[sand karma]

Definitely not mad, but my head is spinning a little 😂

[vague oriole]

I'm not mad, just a bit dissapointed that there is no atlas lore

[fallen warren]

wait

[kind salmon]

im waiting

[fallen warren]

someone wanna screenshot the various expedition phases for me?

[wanton path]

still waiting

[sand karma]

I'll DM em

[fallen warren]

i think this expedition, was litterally a reenactment of mass effect 1

[blazing river]

HAHAHAH

[wanton path]

could be

[fallen warren]

so hear me out here

[small herald]

now im really interested what the following expeditions bring in terms of rewards and lore

[fallen warren]

warping capital ship to redenvouz point, thats you going to the citadel for the first time

[vague oriole]

At least i get supermoon playing

[uncut harness]

Quite likely

[sand karma]

Sean: We'll try out some really different things with the Expeditions
NMS community: Haha sure you will
Sean laughs manically

[uncut harness]

what the fuck was that

i was not expecting that

like at all

[fallen warren]

helping people, this is representative of when your on the citadel and have to help people, like tali, to get your evidence

[undone solar]

I understand that some people probably aren't happy is a frigate that is the reward, but it is nice to know if you start a new save (like, say the next expeditions...), you'll get an extra one free.
But also... this expedition is only 2 weeks, so it's not gonna be long until you can try your hand at whatever is next.

[small herald]

wtf i just noticed that those paragon and renegade titles also come from ME

[sand karma]

Anyone who said they were is lying 😛

[blazing river]

think that's a bit of a stretch imo but it would be a nice touch hahaha

[fallen warren]

this is exploring based, not only would this be the point in mass effect you could freely explore, but the types of planet it tells you are story content

learning the alien words, representative of finding the prothean beacons

[sand karma]

Yeah it lines up fairly well

[subtle gorge]

I think I just saw the No Man's Sky discord go through the five stages of grief

[uncut harness]

HAHAHAHAHAH

[fallen warren]

this expedition

was litterally

[storm shell]

A mutli sword would have been better

[fallen warren]

you playing mass effect 1

xD

[blazing river]

everything aside from phase 2 seems to line up fairly well, i'm inclined to agree with ya eva

[amber lava]

I did get that feeling when deploying the rover

[uncut harness]

So is this supposed to be a tie in with Mass Effect Legendary Edition or something?

[amber lava]

How can it be a tie in when it was hidden from everyone? They aren't even promoting it 😂

[fallen warren]

the mere fact

they made the entire expedition

[edgy monolith]

WHAAAAAAAAT

[fallen warren]

modeled after mass effect 1s storys

is

just amazing

[meager stag]

Uh so... that happened.

[edgy monolith]

brilliant

yup

it sure did happen

[fallen warren]

i dunno what surprises me more

that this happened, or that EA said eh sure why not

[meager stag]

I was pretty shocked and intrigued at first when the ship appeared and I clocked it as the Normandy, but then idk... I got over it real fast haha

[blazing river]

this crossover seems way more well thought out than the apex legends one

[meager stag]

But sure, I have the Normandy now.

[amber lava]

or TMNT in SMITE

[uncut harness]

It's basically just an ad

[hazy lintel]

i mean, i'm actually pretty excited since ME is sort of in my backlog of to-play games

[amber lava]

Mass Effect + No Man's Sky goes together so much smoother than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and... gods 😂

[vague oriole]

WAIT I JUST REALSIED

[timid mist]

i've been replaying the trilogy via the remaster so this catered really well to my current gaming tendencies lol

[quartz trout]

This Expedition was definitely quicker than the last one 😂

[timid mist]

still kinda funky and meta but it's an optional thing and only a frigate. if it was a starship i'd have a lot more issues with it lol

[plush echo]

So the recent patch is 3 GB. Don't have time to sort through all the replies here, but has anyone started data mining this?

[icy citrus]

https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Overlord:_Atlas_Station

^ she brought this to my attention

[uncut harness]

Now I wonder if they'll do something similar for Starfield when it finally releases

[timid mist]

that's neat although it would be off since it's ME2 and the Normandy SR2 vs the reward being the SR1 lol

can't expect exact continuity tho and it could be explained easily

[blazing river]

^ yeah exactly

[outer cobalt]

I know it's off, but still. With the Command being "Under VI Control"... seems an obvious reference regardless

[timid mist]

yeah

[small herald]

this also seems like an interesting marketing stunt, since some news sites will almost certainly write about this crossover

[blazing river]

yeah i'm thinking that they're playing it fast and loose with the continuity

[wind panther]

Good point. They will get press out of this

[gusty berry]

whelp time to replace the colossus with the mako tonight

[blazing river]

HOORAY YOU GOTTA HAVE THE CRAPPY CONTROLS THO

[timid mist]

yeah i mean the entire point of this is to get articles about it while the expedition is halfway done so people hop in or buy the game to chekc it out lol

[gusty berry]

just think of the confusion it's gonna give people

[outer cobalt]

I am still wondering if there is some reference to be found for the "Aquarium"?

or lack thereof

[blazing river]

fish aquarium, arena of genocide

maybe the VI they're referring to is the fish aquarium VI you can buy in me3

[outer cobalt]

Yep, got ya, thanks

[timid mist]

they almost had the first task right, even the badge is the colossus lol

[outer cobalt]

lol

[vague oriole]

THEY DIDN'T EVEN GIVE US A FLAG

Wtf

[thin furnace]

uh im so confused

[outer cobalt]

Just a decal

[thin furnace]

im in the echo source system

but it wont give me any further info

i have no clue where to go from here

[storm shell]

It moved so maybe we can fly it

[timid mist]

nah it's just a frigate

possibly an invincible one

[vague oriole]

Why no flag

[storm shell]

Maybe flyable frigates

[timid mist]

Rendezvous 0: Pujarmu
Rendezvous 1: Moqemo
Rendezvous 2: Mappinerv
Rendezvous 3: Haykan-Hij
Rendezvous 4: Diykkist XIV
Rendezvous 5: Gauraz-Caeru

[vague oriole]

I was planning on collecting flags

[timid mist]

if you can't find 1 just follow the others

[gusty berry]

they prolly didn't have a lot of time to make new assets, the nomandy is prolly a ready made one from bioware

[timid mist]

wait wrong channellol

[thin furnace]

I'm actually so confused, where am I supposed to go?

I'm in the system but i have no further guide or icon telling me where to go

[quartz trout]

@timid mist I bought the NMS before they even introduced the Abandoned Freighters to explore

[timid mist]

nice

[quartz trout]

@timid mist saw this game getting even bigger than it already was

[wanton path]

next frigate the Sulaco please

PLEASEEE

[mental socket]

did they add DLSS btw?

[sand karma]

Rendezvous 1 and then you're almost there

[thin furnace]

So am I not supposed to go the the Current Mission system?

I have Deploy the Myth Beacon pinned

[sand karma]

That is the mission system

[timid mist]

@mental socket not yet, will require an nvidia driver update I believe so likely tied to that schedule

[thin furnace]

I am in the mission system

Where do I deploy the beacon?

[timid mist]

do you not have a little atlas icon in the system?

[thin furnace]

Nope

[timid mist]

maybe save and reload?

[sand karma]

Ah uh that's awkward yeah

[timid mist]

make sure mission is selected

[quartz trout]

I'd love to see the Infinity as an expedition reward next, either as a frigate or freighter

[outer cobalt]

I wanted a 'Space Hamster' ... 😢 🐹

[mighty rampart]

a few things I wanted to say about this expedition end - firstly, the way the Normandy spawned in was honestly pretty cool with the portal effect and then it coming out and flying across the planet while Supermoon was playing, really awesome touch especially for the people who must be big fans of the series. Secondly, the visor icon used when it spawned used is the same icon you see when an anomalous space encounter happens, which solidifies the theory that most if not all anomalous space encounters are also items that are NOT from the game's world, but from other worlds and it ties in to the whole "universes folding on to each other" bit of the recent lore and it does pave way for more crossovers to happen through expeditions or other means, as fun collectibles.

[timid mist]

yeah agreed

the warp in was sick af

[gusty berry]

whoa new effect? got a screenie?

[wind panther]

I didn't see the warp in, sadly, was watching the boundary failure

[mighty rampart]

no it lasted kinda short and at a distance

[thin furnace]

yep, i can confirm the icon will not appear for me

im stuck

[mighty rampart]

the warp in was a simple big white ring with particles coming out of it, kinda like black holes but removing all the colours and the black

[timid mist]

it's not much of a new effect, it almost looks like a slow version of the frigate warp in. Ther's some particle effects moving towards a point and then it flashes and appears

[gusty berry]

I may actually have to play this one if the compiler don't get updated soon enough for the mako screenie

[thin furnace]

mission is selected, im in the system it told me to go to

[quartz trout]

@thin furnace warp to a couple random systems, that's how I managed to get the last 2 Milestones to work

[mighty rampart]

the frigate warp ins are just a while dot and then the frigate zooming in

[uncut harness]

We fornite now bois

[timid mist]

yeah but they are very far away

[gloomy isle]

Gotta say, although I'm not a fan of the reward, the way it warps in is amazing. Imagine if frigates could do that normally, and drop supplies or just fly over. Maybe you could trade on them or something

[timid mist]

this was up close so I think it's similar

just easier to see lol

[mighty rampart]

could be

[timid mist]

but either way it looks cool

[thin furnace]

I went to another system

[brazen igloo]

What was the rewards?

[mighty rampart]

beachhead role when?? /s

[wind panther]

Nothing special

[thin furnace]

I have the mission pinned, but it won't direct me back to the mission system anymore

Am i screwed

[mighty rampart]

I didnt even bother to ask for pioneer because I'm already filled to the brim with roles

[timid mist]

just keep trying, it seems flaky

[mental socket]

Sounds cool. Wish they would redo freighter warps

[meager stag]

Yeah for real that was a moving frigate! We're getting closer to real moving fleets

[subtle gorge]

It's hard to be mad with how much effort was clearly put into this

[gloomy isle]

I followed the where I remember the line going and eventually reached it

[timid mist]

yeah some actually decent call outs

[mighty rampart]

yeah I have 0 idea about the series but it was still really cool

just slightly disappointed its a frigate, I dont really do fleet expeditions

[subtle gorge]

Like im personally against crossovers in most cases because they're more cross promotion with very little effort but at least the Hello Games team cared

[mighty rampart]

but it wouldnt have worked as a freighter either

[gloomy isle]

Has anyone datamined the update?

[forest jay]

So besides the frigate was there any other rewards?

[mighty rampart]

I wonder why they let us have the dosimeter in normal mode, unless its just bugged and we are supposed to be able to use it

[mighty rampart]

the decal, banner and two titles

[thin furnace]

Yeah, nothing I can do to make the mission objective appear

[uncut harness]

So does this mean there isn't a combat update?

[thin furnace]

I'm so pissed

[wind panther]

There was never going to be a combat update

[uncut harness]

:(

[mighty rampart]

well I'm not sure what led you to believe there was one?

[timid mist]

weapon

[forest jay]

Alrighty. Not sure when I can get on so just wanted to see what I had to look forward to. Thx.

[mighty rampart]

oof

[timid mist]

but yeah still a stretch lol

tho if someone told me normandy in NMS i would've said nah lol

[wind panther]

That idiotic 'Downfall' post

[timid mist]

oh you mean the generic wishlist put into paragraph form

[uncut harness]

I just want more types of sentinels to blast in the face.

[wind panther]

Yeah, exactly

[gloomy isle]

Downfall would never be an update name

[brazen igloo]

Y’all forget that we are coming up on the anniversary

There is going to be another update lol

[timid mist]

I hope they name the next update Updog

[wind panther]

Yeah, I totally forgot that

[keen bough]

Well, this new frigate is rather dissapointing

Yes, new update though

[brazen igloo]

It was a short expedition

[keen bough]

I will keep my hopes high

[timid mist]

I'm just hyped for DLSS

[mighty rampart]

there must have been one guy who was taking the piss and thought about it as a joke

[subtle gorge]

Inb4 the update is a full crossover

[timid mist]

Ok someone litereally did make a joke about it yesterday

[thin furnace]

I'm beyond pissed actually. I'm gonna miss out on the end of the expedition just because a bug is keeping me from doing so

[mighty rampart]

and now they must have pissed themselves

[timid mist]

They said "Nor-mans-sky-dy" or something

[mighty rampart]

you have 9 days, chill

[subtle gorge]

I'm gonna scream bloody murder if this happens

[thin furnace]

I have no idea how often I'll be able to get on in the next 5 days

[gloomy isle]

So my new prediction is that next expedition will be longer and will lead into the release of the anniversary update

[wind panther]

If you're on PC, there are ways around it, and there will probably be a hotfix

[mighty rampart]

go back to the 5th rendezvous, select a different mission, reload your game and select that mission and open the map

[timid mist]

#no-mans-sky message

[mighty rampart]

that worked for me, though in between it disappeared again but by then I saw the system I was supposed to go to (has a yellow atlas symbol hovering over it)

[timid mist]

@lean quiver you can't possibly understand how right you were

[mighty rampart]

buy a lottery ticket

[timid mist]

for me preferably

[sick ravine]

do you get anything out of buying the myth beacon and getting the historiographiacal dosimeter on your main save?

[timid mist]

don't think so

i think people tested and it doesn't do anything

[mighty rampart]

yeah it doesnt work right now

they might fix the dosimeter, but the myth beacon wont do anything

[halcyon pebble]

What is it exactly?

[sick ravine]

thanks

[mighty rampart]

myth beacon? have to use it at a boundary failure in a particular system

forgot the system name

dont buy more than 1

[hearty karma]

Soo... has anyone pointed out that the frigate is a reconnaissance class. With a "stealth drive"? All connections to Mass Effect aside, isn't this a new class of frigate?

[mighty rampart]

not really, just a unique frigate with top specs in combat and exploration

frigates usually specialize in one, this one specializes in two

[halcyon pebble]

Ah I was wondering if it was a hint to the next update or something to do with the expedition

[hearty karma]

Ahh gotcha, hope squished lol

But again I still find it weird that the myth beacon can be purchased in multiples. Doesn't make much sense if all it gives is one frigate, ya know?

[mighty rampart]

yeah it is weird alright, maybe in case someone loses it they can just buy it again?

[slender idol]

at least the fuel usage is good

[sand karma]

But you can only get the Normandy itself via the Expedition right?

[hearty karma]

I mean I guess.. if that were the case I'd think it'd just be a repeatable one purchase. Doesn't make sense to buy like a stock of 5+ of them like you could void eggs which actually have variety in their findings.

[sand karma]

So the beacon and the dosimeter don't really have a use on Normal either :3

[slender idol]

i mean, anything 9 tonnes and up is insta-dismiss

[hearty karma]

I would assume after the expedition they'd be available in normal saves.

[mighty rampart]

once you finish the expedition you can claim the normandy in all saves

[sand karma]

But for what use? :3

[sand karma]

The Normandy yeah, but why the items? :#

[mighty rampart]

might be for future content

[sand karma]

Will there just be a short path outside of Expeditions to claim it on normal or something?

Future content might work too. :3 Future crossovers

[mighty rampart]

its directly claimable

[sand karma]

I mean once the Expedition is over and can't be claimed that way anymore by people who didn't do it

[mighty rampart]

ah yes if you dont do the expedition then its gone

only the myth beacon will be purchasable

gonna cause quite the confusion for new players lol

unless they remove the item

[sand karma]

Yeah, seems weird

[slender idol]

it will probably be like the living ship intro

where the living ship had an intro quest, and then turned into a qs item

[sand karma]

Yeah that'd make sense

The way it warps in seems promising for future content as well though

[mighty rampart]

#nms-spoilers message

full list of cross save rewards

@glacial swallow

[green burrow]

so when I get the myth beacon , should I go to the system and deploy it from my ship ?

[sand karma]

Walk out and deploy 😄

[uncut harness]

hmm wonder if you can use the myth beacon in other boundary failures.... 👀

has anyone tried it outside Expeditions?

[green burrow]

the thing is , I am not getting a marker to go anywhere

[mighty rampart]

yeah, doesnt do anything

[sand karma]

So far neither item has done anything in normal

[green burrow]

should I deploy it in the atlas station ?

[paper tinsel]

Bruh i cant claim the Normandy because my fleet is full

[sand karma]

You can dimiss frigates

[paper tinsel]

fr?

[sand karma]

Yeah

[paper tinsel]

i am dumb can you tell me how

[sand karma]

Go to the panel in your freighter 🙂

[paper tinsel]

i have 800 hours in this game and i didnt know this

[hearty karma]

It's near the first Rendezvous, the system.

[sand karma]

Just go to the rendezvous 1 location. It's quite close from there.

[sand karma]

Learn something new every day right? 😄

Space station teleporter if you've been there before

[uncut harness]

aaah thought they would leave the dosi as another way to farm quicksilver 😦

bummer

[mighty rampart]

not really

[sand karma]

With 15 QS at a time it wouldn't be that unbalanced I guess

Maybe with a daily limit 😛

[mighty rampart]

you will have to visit 16 structures to get the same amount as doing one nexus mission

one nexus mission is much faster than finding 16 structures

all approaches

yep

[wary mesa]

The panel nearest the Freighter Captain.

[mighty rampart]

still feels like a giant shitpost

like I'll wake up any minute now

[vague oriole]

Me too

[mighty rampart]

they took their time to make a FAKE decal

and straight up didnt add the content for us to datamine

they REALLY like Mass Effect huh

[subtle gorge]

Still kinda collecting my thoughts

[hearty karma]

Same

[vague oriole]

It's just a massive decoration in space

[subtle gorge]

Ok but what are the implications?

Like how far are crossovers gonna go

[mighty rampart]

Well I already wasn't expecting anything big as the reward

[vague oriole]

I was expecting just a gold freighter paint

[mighty rampart]

They can go anywhere because of NMS meta also implying our world is a part of the game world

[sand karma]

There aren't really any. Things bled in from another universe and that's about it.

[subtle gorge]

Like im already kinda against crossovers? I feel like they're immersion breaking

[mighty rampart]

Well it says that directly

[paper tinsel]

I saw the ship warp in above me and i immediately ejaculated

[mighty rampart]

It shouldn't break your immersion because it's kinda intended

[subtle gorge]

But also the way they did it was really good

[sand karma]

That was pretty clever tbh 😄

[subtle gorge]

Like it was a really well done thing

[vague oriole]

It's a decorational piece

Not even some cool npc dialogue when you land on it

[mighty rampart]

A very cool one indeed

[vague oriole]

cos you can't land on it

[mighty rampart]

Eh

[subtle gorge]

I'm more worried about what if's I guess

[mighty rampart]

Probably would have been too much effort

[vague oriole]

Not gonna send this on an expedition ever

[sand karma]

I'm mostly entertained by the way it spawned in during the Expedition

[mighty rampart]

I think they'll do more crossovers in the future if that's what you mean

[vague oriole]

What if it breaks

[sand karma]

It was pretty cool

[sand karma]

What if it never beaks? 😛

[mighty rampart]

Really doubt it'll beeak

[subtle gorge]

Like, I think this kinda stuff needs to stay in expeditions

[mighty rampart]

It's an S class one with top stats

[vague oriole]

Also what if you get a second myth beacon

[mighty rampart]

Myth beacon doesn't do anything afterwards

[subtle gorge]

it was great

[sand karma]

Yeah, which I guess is why you have the option of not claiming it

[mighty rampart]

I tried it

[vague oriole]

Why do they let you get 1000 of them then

[subtle gorge]

I mean less in expeditions and not in major content updates

[mighty rampart]

Oh that's normal

[sand karma]

999 crossovers remaining.

[subtle gorge]

Just I don't wana see a full NMS X Star Trek update

[mighty rampart]

It's their way of letting you buy multiple, lest you waste one

And who knows maybe they'll be used again for more crossovers or another way of getting anomalous encounters

[sand karma]

Oh yeah the occasional thing like this would be fine, but it's pretty unlikely this is the standard going forward

It's just a nice little thing

[vague oriole]

Resurgent feighter but it's an actual star destroyer

Nvm i forgot disney owns star wars

[mighty rampart]

Imagine them adding one of the ships from warframe lol

[vague oriole]

Just add the entirety of elite dangerous

[sand karma]

Lol no there's enough toxicity between the two as is

[subtle gorge]

Ed community hates us

[vague oriole]

When you core warp from galaxy 256 it just gives you a free copy of elite

Imagine sean saying "I don't wanna make updates anymore just play elite"

[celest saddle]

Railjack would have more content in no man's sky than warframe

I'm still waiting for the ability to fly a freighter

[sand karma]

Oof 😛

[subtle gorge]

Honestly I just want moving freighters

Like we saw a frigate move

Can we have that more please

[prime spade]

Welp... I was just thought all the memery in here this morning was, well... memes. I did not expect that conclusion.

The histographic lore fits...

[subtle gorge]

I'm honestly concerned more than salty

[prime spade]

Yeah. I feel like it somehow 'sullies' the purity of the setting a bit, I get enough of my weird crossover stuff from playing PSO2 :p

[brazen igloo]

Hey man just wait for a reaper invasion force to show up

[subtle gorge]

As long as they keep it in expeditions sure

[thin furnace]

Is having the altas icon appear required to trigger the event?

is it at a specific boundary failure?

I've done all I can, but I don't think I'm gonna be able to fix the mission objective not appearing

Yes

Urdosso, right?

That's what the mission brought me to

[prime spade]

Are we talking about phase 5, part 4/5?

• Buy a myth beacon.

- Select the quest as your active objective in the log

• Follow the galaxy map to the right system, it has an atlas marker

• Travel to the marker on planet Nessie.

• use your multi-tool to home in on the exact target (it'll be a boundary failure)

• Use the myth beacon

• Watch the sky, and freak out

[thin furnace]

I've bought the myth beacon

I had the mission as my active mission

Galaxy map brought me to a system

No atlas icon

Galaxy map will now refuse to lead me anywhere else

[vague oriole]

When gumsk posted that first image i didn't recognise the ship and i was like "oh cool new ship type" while everyone else was going "WTF IS THAT THE THING FROM MASS EFFECT"

[thin furnace]

"Deploy the Myth Beacon" is my active mission

Can someone send me the name of the system I need to go to?

[vague oriole]

Go to the r1 sustem

[thin furnace]

Okay

[vague oriole]

And then take the path from there

[prime spade]

Dopperi VII is the system you want, it's close to rendevous 1

[thin furnace]

What's R1 system name again?

[dapper breach]

What's the best way to fully learn the Atlas language? The only way I remember how is from those blobs at the Atlas Interfaces.

[thin furnace]

Successfully completing a monolith's puzzle will reward you an atlas word

[prime spade]

You get 1 word per Monoilith you interact with successfully. So, grab an exo-craft and use it to scan for monoliths.

I'd suggest using an explorer and flying to them, driving to each could take a long time indeed

[merry tartan]

Ah. I was looking forward to having the silver ship (Hadach's Discovery KH3) transfer over to my normal save. Guess it doesn't.

[dapper breach]

Thanks

The only way I remembered was from those blobs, and I haven't seen them in a while on my save

[thin furnace]

Ok, it led me to the system

i shall report back soon, probably losing my mind

i have no idea what to expect

huh

well that was neat

so wait

is this straight up just ||a ship from mass effect||

||i have never played mass effect before||

[sand karma]

Yep!

[thin furnace]

so

an officially licensed crossover event

i did NOT expect that

[silver ferry]

but this is really cool

[jovial violet]

Yeah, idk how cool it'll be for non-ME fans. Even as a fan, I'm still kind of disappointed

[uncut harness]

I need a spoiler please

it says to deploy the myth becon and consult X for the echo?

what in the world am I supposed to be looking for?

and where

[thin furnace]

Go to Rendezvous 1

and then check the galaxy map

then go to the system with the Atlas icon next to it

[uncut harness]

maybe I'm dense but is there an easy way to do that?

[gloomy isle]

More info "very soon"

According to sean

As its the 5th anniversary

[thin furnace]

Space Station teleporter

[wheat moon]

of course i need 40 more quicksilver for the myth beacon

[uncut harness]

I apologize for being noob but how do I tell which SS to teleport to?

[indigo night]

just to 3 more monolith scans

[uncut harness]

Dude you called it

[thin furnace]

The fact that we can claim the Historiograph in our Normal saves is interesting

also the Anomalous Research mission is active in my Normal save

Just have to wait for the next tier to become available

[jovial violet]

The teleporter is pain to use effectively. My method is to choose the system I want to go to in my Discoveries menu, check the stats of the system (race, economy, conflict), and then choose one of the space stations which match those

[prime spade]

Still wish the weapon was a multi-sword

[dreamy oracle]

I have to admit I'm slightly annoyed that there isn't a flag, but I'll live

that was worth it

ooooooh and now I can get all the QS I need on any save

wait. can you use the myth thing to summon the weapon---anywhere?

[compact coyote]

So is there more dissapointment than happiness in the reveal?

[gloomy isle]

Pretty sure it's one time

[dreamy oracle]

teh trailer showed it on a lush planet but whatever

I of course bought like 6 myth things because I thought they'd be used up and need to be used again

[mental socket]

can you?

like you can activate it at least

so why not be able to summon the ship at any boundary failure?

[compact coyote]

I'm a little dissapointed ngl...

I don't care for mass effect

[hybrid pendant]

well like i always said

[compact coyote]

I want to know where we are. Where were going..

[hybrid pendant]

dont expect for crazy shit or u gonna be disapointed

people expected crazy shit here we are

[hardy flume]

Sean legit said they have more surprises in store for the fifth anniversary

[uncut harness]

"Very soon" as well :)

[compact coyote]

That's great

[hybrid pendant]

yep its only the begining the thing is that i think most of u thought a big update was right around the corner

[compact coyote]

This was just underwhelming for me. The expedition ending

[hybrid pendant]

i wasnt expecting something insane i always try to keep my expectation low

[uncut harness]

What are the cords for the deploy the myth beacon thing

[hybrid pendant]

that what happen when u have high expectation it will always be underwhelming

[uncut harness]

I traveled really really far' and am nowhere near

[compact coyote]

No one on planet earth saw this coming

[uncut harness]

im like 900k light years away from the myth beacon deployment site

so can somebody give me the planet cords pls

[halcyon pebble]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlHBalpdcWM Yall see this?

[uncut harness]

yeah

[halcyon pebble]

that is epic

[hybrid pendant]

yeah its freaking unexpected like

[prime spade]

I can't say I'm dissapointed more... a little bewildered. They better have a good reason for going crossover on us, and make good use of this new wrinkle in the setting

[hybrid pendant]

i dont remember seeing the normandy elsewhere than mass effect i know than in other games u could like build it urself

but that bioware litterarly collab with hello games that insane

[halcyon pebble]

So is this the Weapon he hinted?

[hybrid pendant]

no i dont think so

[dreamy oracle]

somebody on the planet dropped a bse, disabled editing, and locked away the base computer so nobody could drop comm beacons near the anomaly. which is irritating

[compact coyote]

I wish you could land on it at least

[nocturne zephyr]

is Hello Games pulling a Psyonix on us?

[halcyon pebble]

well bioware probably needs it because of the falure of games recently remastering Mass Effect was a smart choice on there part

[hybrid pendant]

like i never thought in a million years

having mass effect and no man's sky in the same phrase like

i think no man's sky and mass effect in terms of ambience are the best space games

also

the fucking music in this game

[prime spade]

Expedition 3 had better give us a Mako, with the same absurd traversal physics.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iky9ubskNMU

[hybrid pendant]

@prime spade well

doesent the big tank we have ressemble it?

[prime spade]

Though the colossus is a pretty clsoe relative visually

[hybrid pendant]

yeah the colossus really close in design

maybe more narrow at the tfront

[halcyon pebble]

Mass Effect is good but the last game kinda ruined it for me.

[hybrid pendant]

yeah

[halcyon pebble]

I wonder if this means more crossovers in the future

[hybrid pendant]

but the normandy isnt from the last game

[halcyon pebble]

I know

[hybrid pendant]

its from the trilogy

[halcyon pebble]

thats why im excited 🙂

[hybrid pendant]

i am actually like

it looks good like the normandy looks really good

i just wished it wasnt a fregate

but a freighter

also we need a mass effect armor

[halcyon pebble]

Maybe in the future it will change

[prime spade]

Yeah, I wouldn't been mad even if it had a fixed interior you couldn't edit.

[haughty bough]

Jut read about the Normandy frigate at the end of the Expedition, is that something that you can only add to your fleet in that Expedition save or does it become available in your normal saves as well somehow?

[hybrid pendant]

same yeah

@haughty bough every save

[haughty bough]

awesome, thx

[halcyon pebble]

I feel like NMS could maybe add warships in the future so maybe it could change idk

[hybrid pendant]

[haughty bough]

what happens, do you claim it at the Quicksilver dude in your normal save, and then it marks it in a system you have to travel to and then recruit it?

[prime spade]

The quicklsilver vendor, when you choose the option it brings up the frigate recruitment screen, as if you were hailing a frigate to buy, and adds it directly to your fleet

[haughty bough]

oh word, even easier, thx for the info

[hybrid pendant]

sooo i see now

that why the expedition is soo fast

[gusty berry]

laughs in mods

[mighty rampart]

I thought you already could?

or it was more convoluted and now its easier

[vague oriole]

Wait so they just wanted to pay tribute to mass effect

[dreamy quartz]

how do you transmit data for nada and polo?

I've been to every type of ancient structure there is and nothing

monolith, plague, ruin, and artifact site; none of them give me the option to do anything, including the ones you can interact with (it's just the normal interactions)

and yes, I do have the quest selected

[vague oriole]

In expeditions?

[dreamy quartz]

yes; that's why I'm asking in spoilers

[vague oriole]

Wierd

[dreamy quartz]

what's supposed to happen?

[vestal ledge]

So

if the normandy gets damaged how are we to fix it? there's no landing pads lmao

[indigo night]

@dreamy quartz you need to have this in your Inventory

[vestal ledge]

You need to visit 3 monolithic sites (Plaques or Monoliths) after you get that dosimeter in your inventory

[dreamy quartz]

@indigo night I have that

[indigo night]

@vestal ledge its a Stealth .. will never be damaged

[vestal ledge]

and select the option of Transmitting Findings to Nada when you interact with the plaque/monolith

[dreamy quartz]

it never gives me the option

the item is in my inventory right now

[indigo night]

maybe because its already at 100 %

I will test it

[mighty rampart]

wow rip

[dreamy quartz]

(selected correct option)

[real sapphire]

got my nomandy

[dreamy quartz]

@mighty rampart any ideas on what to do? I am on PC so I can edit my save file

[uncut harness]

How far is the myth beacon deployment site ???

[indigo night]

still working

[dreamy quartz]

@indigo night it's not working for me though; see the images I posted above

I have all other parts of the expedition done (that can be done)

[mighty rampart]

well I'm not sure what exactly you could do aside from reverting your 5th rendevous mission to being incomplete

[wheat moon]

to deploy the myth beacon you have to warp to a certain system right?

[hybrid pendant]

@real sapphire looks awesome

[indigo night]

@dreamy quartz you are on 3.41 ?

[dreamy quartz]

I'm on the latest as far as I know

[real sapphire]

well ngl i wasn't that interested, i spoiled myself, but dayum, the entrance is causing me goosebump

[indigo night]

latest update was this morning

[real sapphire]

good thing i didn't ask how to get it xD

[indigo night]

73058 3.41 - PC Steam

[dreamy quartz]

is this not working because I fucked off from the starting area after reaching the final rendezvous? it was annoying trying to find unvisited systems so I went through a portal to a random place

[mighty rampart]

not really

[real sapphire]

i only asked what's those normandy thingy

[mighty rampart]

close the game, verify file integrity and see if it downloads any file

[dreamy quartz]

okay

[mighty rampart]

noticed that some people had a 3.7GB update, mine was 4.2

[deep parrot]

So... the weapon is a Mass Effect ship?

[indigo night]

a frigate

[deep parrot]

I am... disappointed.

[mighty rampart]

ye and the readings were all related to ME events happening in the NMS world

[dreamy quartz]

okay it's downloading an update

[narrow tapir]

Hopefully the reapers will prove more of a challenge then the wimpy sents. However more then likely I'll be flying circles around it

[uncut harness]

Mine was 4.2 as well but idk why

[dreamy quartz]

if this doesn't fix it, does anyone know how I can edit my save file to mark that quest as completed?

[uncut harness]

Probably missed a different update 🤷‍♂️

[mighty rampart]

no, I think the 4.2 is the correct size

[deep parrot]

Did they fix the Beachhead decal and banner rewards?

[dreamy quartz]

mine is 3.7 GB

[mighty rampart]

and some people got bugged out and ended up being 3.7 and the same people also had issues

[uncut harness]

Well whatever it is, all I know is that I can’t find this myth beacon deployment site for the life of me

Like how far is it

[mighty rampart]

is it telling you to check the map or are you in the correct system

[uncut harness]

Check map

But I’ve warped like 11 times already

From rendezvous 5

[mighty rampart]

do it from 1

[deep parrot]

Is it using the Mystery 3 system?

[dreamy quartz]

is the location he/she is talking about random? or specific? if it's specific I might need some portal coordinates

[uncut harness]

It’s specific

[dreamy quartz]

because I went to another part of the galaxy thinking I wouldn't have to go to a specific location again

[uncut harness]

I just don’t have the cords 🤷‍♂️

[wheat moon]

mine is just telling me to warp a bunch of systems away

[dreamy quartz]

does anyone have the coordinates?

[mighty rampart]

select a different mission, go to 1st rendezvous system, close and open your game again, select the myth beacon mission, go out and check the map

[uncut harness]

I wish but I can’t find them sad

[mighty rampart]

that's what worked for me

[dreamy quartz]

I mean I took a snapshot of the coordinates in a system right next to the final rendezvous in case I needed to go back but Yerin can't find it from there

[uncut harness]

Yeah

[dreamy quartz]

@mighty rampart do you have coordinates for the first rendezvous?

thank you

[mighty rampart]

no wait

[dreamy quartz]

okay

[mighty rampart]

that's the system directly

it might not work

have you been to the 1st rendezvous' space station before?

[dreamy quartz]

I think so but it may have dropped off

[uncut harness]

Nope

[dreamy quartz]

what's the name of it?

[dreamy oracle]

it starts with a D

[mighty rampart]

if so then it will be listed in your teleporter, will even say "rendezvous 1"

[dreamy oracle]

it's like 400km from R1

[dreamy quartz]

also are you trying to tell me that system coordinates don't work? I always just assumed it would put you on a random planet in the system

[dreamy oracle]

400LY*

[mighty rampart]

no I mean if you directly went to the myth beacon system it might not work

[dreamy quartz]

I've never been there before

[uncut harness]

Can you give them cause I can just warp in and out

[dreamy quartz]

I wanted to save this for later after I fix the first issue I'm having, assuming it can be fixed

[uncut harness]

Oh god’ did anyone dove the tetrahedrons riddle

[vague oriole]

normandy frigate

[wheat moon]

worked ty

[mighty rampart]

nice

[dreamy quartz]

okay thankfully my dosimeter or whatever it's called is working now

[icy citrus]

You realize there are fixes as well?

[prime spade]

That was it.

[icy citrus]

I don't get the disgust or hate for something free and optional

[prime spade]

Ironically, for all the fixes and stuff, the game keeps crashing on me in VR since today's patch when it's been stable for months xD

[hybrid pendant]

lol

@icy citrus because people overhype themself

[prime urchin]

I'm pretty hyped for the DLSS stuff, but this left me a bit cold, I must admit

[hybrid pendant]

they expect crazy shit because of the lore and think something gonna come right after it

when it could be in a few months and not at the end of expedition 2

people expect stuff right now when we have a few months to go before the aniversary

it show the impatience most people in the comunity have i think

[balmy nimbus]

new lore from dosimeter is ||mass effect|| related

[uncut harness]

I’m going to have an army of mass effect ships

Sage editing time

Ngl wasn’t worth the wait

[cursive kernel]

Hey what the fuck?

[compact coyote]

Bruh...

[hybrid pendant]

also

[icy citrus]

Lol, the wait of 3 days

[uncut harness]

Hey I’m impatient

[hybrid pendant]

u were really expecting to have full blown a aniversary update in fucking june?

[compact coyote]

I was so excited about the new lore. Is that all mass effect related?

[uncut harness]

Nah lol

[compact coyote]

No

[cursive kernel]

How does the crossover fit into the lore 🗿

[hybrid pendant]

well that the problem with nms and always has been

u expect too much and get dissapointed origins was a good exemple

people keept their expection low with sean saying small upate

[prime urchin]

I liked Origins

[hybrid pendant]

@north rock doesent really look like the way people are talking also people forget that the expedition doesent last fucking 2 months

[balmy nimbus]

absolutely

[hybrid pendant]

and that next week we getting new stuff or a new expedition

[compact coyote]

Dude Origins was awesome

Best update

[prime urchin]

I was very sceptical when they devoted a lot of time to introducing VR.... and then I got a VR headset lol

[uncut harness]

Also guys don’t try to save edit the new frigate. It crashed the save editor and game lmao

At least for me *

[hybrid pendant]

ok

https://twitter.com/bborgzz/status/1395686093266292736 here some interesting facts

anomaly bborgz (@bborgzz)

Some type of combat event coming with recent community discoveries. The expedition ends around referenced D-Day WWII - June 6th - references beach head, a weapon coming. Phase 5 reward is “SSV Normandy” 😮😬🚀 #NoMansSky

@balmy nimbus wasnt before in other versions ? https://twitter.com/bborgzz/status/1395691469156069376

anomaly bborgz (@bborgzz)

First thing I noticed is major sound changes in 3.41 🔊🔊🔊 Ships flying over scream and howl, some type of combat event is on the horizon😳🚀 #NoMansSky https://t.co/bPIobMuIqf

[timid mist]

I tihnk they missed the point that the weapon is the normandy lol

[mental socket]

but isn't that a sound tweak in the ship overfly

[uncut harness]

No the weapon is the sword of history isn’t it

[balmy nimbus]

they modified the ship sound, yes

[hybrid pendant]

ok thanks

wanted to be sure i wasnt posting fake stuff

[timid mist]

The weapon is the normandy, it's even in the mission text when you get it

[mighty rampart]

I've heard this before the update
