Well finished the expedition second time! 2 Exotic star ship, Rare multi tool and Dream Aerial. Don't think I can do much better.

Class A freighter, Class S and Class A frigate. Missing combat Frigate.. Would have made this better.

Whew! Two weeks remaining

covert wigeon
#

Does a new expedition typically start right after the last or is there a bit of a grace period between expeditions?

compact bane
#

new update then about a week after new exp

#

so wait for news about new update

ashen shore
#

Right now we're nearing the anniversary of the game and expecting the next content update, the 4.0 version of the game

#

After that HG might launch a new expedition or reruns of previous ones

covert wigeon
#

Epic responsiveness, very helpful community thank you very much

They are probably going to do that expedition retry thing so everyone has a second chance

alright

i don't know what to do in this expedition... it's my first time

wide vault
#

sorry to ask this again, but can someone help me with the 2nd optional milestone? The one where you enter someone else's freighter base

idle egret
#

Go to the anomaly then ask some people to let you into there freighter

wide vault
#

yeah already did that, no luck

idle egret
#

I didnteven bother to do it when I did the expedition

wide vault
#

yeah but it would be quicker for the 9m money

as you get 5m from it

idle egret

True

I did a bit of the cl trick

Question. What can prove completion of latest expodition?

They changed it to where it automatically converts to normal

Thanks @fringe agate

Can't wait until work slows down so I can get back into endless hours of nms

ashen shore

Check the Quicksilver vendor at Space Anomaly

latent wigeon
#

Ah

ashen shore
#

Wait wait

#

Are you asking because you want to prove the completion for the role here on server?

#

If so, you can self assign it

#

As for the proof, got another idea

#

Go to menu - Milestones tab, on the bottom of the list on the left side there should be a button that opens the expdition milestones

#

Example from previous expedition which converted to Normal mode

alpine canopy
#

Hey just started to get back into the game needed some tips and maybe a group to play with to get me back up to speed

ashen shore
#

For the expedition?

alpine canopy
#

Yeah

#

I haven't played since nxt first dropped

ashen shore
#

Well you can find many tips and tricks for expedition here in pinned messages

#

But I'd like to recommend starting a Normal mode first and learning some stuff

#

Lots of things changed in since what, 3 years?

alpine canopy
#

Yeah

ashen shore
#

OR maybe 4. Anyway, you got 2 weeks left to complete the expedition, I'd advise 1 week in Normal to learn basics, 1 week for expedition

rapid dirge
#

what's rendezvous point?

ashen shore
#

It's a location you have to visit in order to complete a milestone

#

Usually some kind of landmark / structure on a planet

#

The game gives you approximate coordinates for it, you have to find the exact location yourself

rapid dirge
#

alright

rapid dirge
#

question

#

can i save it and leave the game?

#

I'm not sure if the expedition is one shot thing or i can get back to the save after some time

in this exp its crashed freigters at sea or on land

so should be hard to miss

rapid dirge

did everyone have the same rendezvous point or it's random?

Should be the same place

You go through the same systems and start on the same planets, for some exped

If you see a metric fuckton of comm balls and bases around, you're probably in the right place

Yea, the easiest way to find it

But don't be fool, there are some places that have a ton and weren't the point, from what I've seen

how do you get drop pod coords?

this expedition is so boring 😭

@teal jetty use signal booster and it will point you to the drop pod provided you have the drop pod item in inventory

teal jetty
topaz yoke
#

Ah, I buy them at outposts. Many planet side locations have they for sale

topaz yoke
#

Sure thing, the trading outpost I always look for is small, has a single guy in the main room and another guy down a short hallway that offers blueprints and components. Under components he always has a few, and they respawn after a short time. I usually build a base next to it and max out the suit inventories but it takes time. Other option is to just explore and get 1 slot per new station you visit

obsidian lake

is there an easy way to finish this expedition fast cause it's so boring 😭

is there an easy way to get salvaged frigate modules?

I’ve found piracy most effective but I feel like they’re super rare :/ pretty much just from nexus missions and from certain freighter cargo things in outlaw systems

They are also a reward for practically every milestone in this expedition so use wisely or save a few

snow turret
#

Anyone know when these expeditions are typically scheduled for? I’m a little annoyed that I missed out on the first 7!!! LOL!
There was some very good rewards handed out.

ashen shore
#

There is no schedule / roadmap

#

Usually a new expedition starts a week or so after a content update

#

We don't know if that will be the case with the next content update, we hope for HG to introduce expedition reruns at the end of the year

south dune
#

I would love reruns. I missed all the previous ones, but really liked Polestar

snow turret
#

Oh that would be great!!! I would love to do them all!

#

I’m just now finding out them since this latest one.

gilded tiger
#

Yeah kinda sucks. There's a really cool backpack from a previous expedition but I didn't have the game then ☹️

#

I heard they've done reruns before so 🤞

indigo falcon
#

we'll likely find out later this fall

tough slate
#

hoping for a rerun too.

busy schedule & my gamesharing buddy had a slight change of plan, for the time being

I've just been chilling and drawing up plans after phase 1, heh 😆

#

I suppose I could get a used physical copy too

#

Either way, loving all the freighter stuff so far :D

vague vine
#

I wonder if the next game update will coincide with the ninth expedition...

#

Haven't they done that in the past?

compact bane
#

expeditions come out within 2 weeks of a new update
its always been that way

vague vine
#

Ah, so there could be a delay after polestar finishes until the next update

ashen shore
#

Yes, because expeditions are a way to showcase people who are coming back just for the rewards all the new stuff the game offers after a content update

#

In Blighted you started with a solar ship, the new type of ship introduced with Outlaws update and there were few pirate-related milestones

#

Now in Polestar the game lets you learn all the new stuff about freighters after they were reworked with the Endurance update

#

So the pattern is there

plush plinth
#

Everyone wants a rerun

analog moon
#

So can the derelict freighters in each expedition system only be looted once per person?

I also seem to have broken the main door on this one, the scanning counter just keeps going up past 100.

compact bane
vestal veldt

No, the refiner makes sure it does not get consumed

basically, activate it, put it in the refiner, go run the derelict, take it out after you leave, I'm not sure if you can just pulse again or what (it's not a trick I use but many many players do)

fiery minnow
#

2 more weeks

#

I wonder what will be the next expedition

#

Artemis (the irl one) themed?

indigo falcon
#

maybe we'll get reruns instead

raw dragon
#

can i visit somebodys freighter

random ridge
#

pretty sure reruns will be done to give the Switch players a chance to get the goodies too 🙂

vestal veldt
#

Seems like going away from your freighter can still wipe your refiners :/

#

Thankfully I had the nanites for the squadron slots already.

#

Otherwise that would've been very painful

ashen shore
# plush plinth Everyone wants a rerun

When they did the rerun before there were only 4 expeditions, there are a lot now so it would be a very long rerun.
Maybe if they made it a pick and choose so you could do the expo you want instead of revisiting every single one

#

As nice as a rerun would be it might just be too much

tough slate
#

or it could be for the next 4 that followed(?)

A full rerun would take a good while, yeah.

Although, I suppose it may be helpful for the devs, since they'll get a bit of extra development time in the meantime, heh :P

i wouldn't complain if all of them came back though

How long does it take to complete this expo

ashen shore
#

so I'm a bit new, to this all, I tried is a year ago on Normal didn't like than realized there was a creative mode... Now I'm loving it... But how does the community Expedition thing work exactly for that mode

#

It doesn't

#

The expedition is a separate game mode, alongside Normal, Survival, Permadeath and Creative

#

You start a new game, create a new same, choose the Expedition mode and start playing

#

The focus is on completing challenges (refered to as milestones) in order to gain exclusive rewards

#

Those rewards can be then redeemed on any other save

#

Expedition is a limited time event, but if you have some recent experience with creative mode then you should be fine

Select any other milestone and work towards it

Also you don't have to do them in order

Most milestones aren't "locked" till the moment you complete previous ones

Only the "story" related ones would require you to finish other milestones before

Like how to start it? It’s a fresh save you have to start. And the goal is to complete different objectives.

grand torrent
#

Ohh

wheat spade
#

There’s one part you’ll need to be in a group to board another players freighter. Other than that it’s manageable solo. Takes a few days at a casual pace. Then the save rolls over to a regular save you can keep playing or you can just go back to your regular save.

grand torrent
#

Huh i might have to try that out because i was tryna get the expedition rewards but couldnt figure out how to do them

For sure worth it IMO. The rewards will be on any save from the past or future you make. Pretty cool IMO.

Ty ill try lol

raw dragon
#

are hirable frigates not appearing for anyone else

ashen shore
#

I think for the expedition they have a lower spawn rate to make the buying 8 frigates challenge and 8 expeditions challenge more challenging

raw dragon
#

k that makes sense

ashen shore
#

On my normal save there would be 4 to 5 frigates spawning at most systems but on the exp I rarely get more than 1

raw dragon

thanks

Someone please help me get excited to play this expedition. I know I should be excited for the building and the journey etc, but it's not doing it for me. So the main reward is a jellyfish companion? That's kind meh in my mind. What's the coolest part of this expedtion which I should be most excited about? Thanks in advance for the thoughts.

Hey. So yeah. I picked up NMS again about a month ago and I just finished the new expedition and between my main normal save and this new save it's about 50/50 what should I do? On the one hand I have all the rare ships and a few living ships I want, and a killer mine, etc etc. On the new save I have all the freighter stuff unlocked. I'm so torn on what to do.

I'm at the rendezvous system in phase 1, but for the life of me can't find the rendezvous point from my ship. What am I missing?

ashen shore
#

The coordinates you get initially are just the approximate coordinates

#

You have to look for the actual RV point with your visor

#

It will give you visual and sound clues to the direction and proximity

It's usually some kind of structure or a landmark

It's always crashed freighters this time around

Quick question for the expedition gurus: What's the path to get a base computer blueprint in expedition 8 (Polestar)? I've finished all the expedition quests except the optional one to visit a friend's freighter, but still don't have the ability to build a base computer...and I'd really like to set up some bases.

ashen shore
#

Then those rewards become available on other saves / game modes, you can get them from the Quicksilver vendor in Space Anomaly

Was I supposed to get all the glyphs at the end of the Expedition? I did. Just wondering if that was supposed to happen. I had only a few unlocked on a previous save. I did finish the story on that save though.

I can’t find anything online so imma guess that was a bug.

I got the glyphs on mine too actually

Thanks Vail. It must be intended then. I wonder if that transfers between saves or not? I hope so because tracking down the regular was was going to be a grind.

Can anyone doing expeditions help me out with a storm Crystal?

#

@everyone

wanton raft
#

What's one of the best planets with storm crystals near the expedition? I know I need to look on planets with activated metals, but not running into many. The problem is that I used the one Warp Hypercore I was given as a reward and constructing freighter drive modules which allow me to go to the red, green, blue systems requires a Warp Hypercore. Am I in a catch 22 or is there a storm crystal source in one of the main systems of the expedition I've missed?

trim aurora
#

@wanton raft im trying to see if someone can trade me one but i guess no luck lmao

nova lake
#

trim aurora
#

@nova lake you got a storm crystal?

wanton raft

#

@wanton raft and @trim aurora there’s a pinned message on where to find storm crystals. 📌

wanton raft
#

Doh! I looked in the pins before making that big message, but must have missed it.

brave ice
wanton raft
#

I assume those systems mentioned do not require using the hyperdrive modules we need them for? If you were going to fly there instead of traveling by portal that is.

#

Anyway, I made my mistake on my PS4 NMS account. I'm going to start on my PC account later today and I won't make the same mistake. I'll just save up a bunch of storm crystals when I do that and give them to my PS4 account when I do that optional visit milestone.

well the twitch drop rewards are gone, too.

Maybe we will see them returning this year if HG is kind enough

hollow shuttle
#

"that's the way it is" != "you have to be happy about it"

ashen shore
#

I didn't say anything like that. The content isn't locked, HG made it available, you just missed it. Maybe they will make it available again.

#

Or if you can't wait and you're willing to cheat, use save editor to unlock it

hollow shuttle
#

Correct me if I'm wrong, but save editor doesn't bake it into the account, just the device, correct?

ashen shore
#

What do you mean by "baking into the device"?

#

Haven't used save editor myself so I could be wrong

#

But I think it just edits the profile file / data in the save folder

#

Whatever happens afterwards, dunno, If you got Steam Cloud sync enabled it should sync that accross all devices with Steam

hollow shuttle
#

To my knowledge, Steam Cloud does not sync your actual account information which stores unlockables - I'm quite certain those are created when you first start the game

ashen shore
#

The very 1st file reads "account data" so I would assume it does sync

#

And the contents of it do suggest unlocked expedition rewards

hollow shuttle
#

Yeah, I had looked at that prior. There was concern, though, that it only worked on the device it was used on - that if I downloaded NMS on my laptop, for example, those unlocked things would not carry over.

ashen shore
#

They show up on my Steam Deck after I completed expedition on my PC

hollow shuttle
#

Which is a small concern. I don't like cheating, however, I am also opposed to time-sensitive content that can't be obtained again in a non-competitive game. But eh, that's me.

hollow shuttle
bronze orchid
#

Does anyone know the location of a crashed hauler in the second system of the expedition?

#

An alternate one then the one shown in Xaines World’s guide

ashen shore
#

I still fail to see what's the difference between: letting the game write data to profile file VS letting the save editor write data to profile file

bronze orchid
#

Hm

hollow shuttle
#

:L because I'm not really 100% sure how that information is validated. For instance, you'll note that if you use it for Twitch unlockables, you have to be offline. That would imply that at LEAST for Twitch, there's an additional check besides just being on the profile file

ashen shore
#

Haven't used Twitch rewards so I can't say

solid orchid
#

Guys, idk if it’s a glitch, or what, but while just sitting in space, durring the expedition, I got a distress signal for a freighter rescue mission and offered a free one at the end of the fight. I haven’t been using my starship warp because I haven’t finished the expedition yet and unlocked it. Are these casually occurring space battles supposed to happen in these scenarios?

foggy hedge
# hollow shuttle :L because I'm not really 100% sure how that information is validated. For insta...

Twitch as it's third party program that your account is linked is supposed to be in constant connection to the internet. You can bypass that by going offline and changing the values with Save Editor. But it has to be offline. Meanwhile your savefile is stored on your PC, that doesn't have to have a connection to the internet meaning that you can change stuff all the time, even online. But in order to access the same savefile on other devices like extra laptop or steam deck you have to enable Steam Cloud that stores a copy of the savefile.

#

from previous expeditions, does the ending of one mean a new update is on the horizon

#

?

molten laurel
#

2 questions.

  1. I want to help a friend today, does it count, if if I teleport to the first meetingpoint, host the game and he joins, so he can instantly visit the meetingpoint?
  2. If we are in a coop session and I teleport to another location, will he automatically come with me?
ashen shore
#

We know at least one date, October 7th when the Switch version launches

#

We should get a content update on that date, some speculate we might get it earlier

cobalt kiln
#

Or they could rerelease all the old expedition then when the switch version comes outs

ashen shore
#

That is also a possibilty, but we have no concrete info on that, only wishful thinking

compact bane
#

I mean is Shaun wakes up on Twitter that means update is like 2-3 weeks away

finite rover
#

they'll do it but only for switch players. :)

Anyone around where I can pay a visit to their freighter?

Start a new save at least 48hrs before expedition ends....
Whats that all about please anyone?

ashen shore
#

The game doesn't let you start an expedition save with 24 hours remaining

#

Could be different value but the idea is the same

#

That's why we recommend to start at least 48 hours before (1 day for playing before the 1 day of lockdown)

fringe agate
#

It's 48h now

#

Have to start 48h before

fierce aspen
#

Do I need to just systems to find more frigates? I found 2 in 2 days and not sure I'll find the other 6 before expedition ends.

indigo falcon
#

you'll find them. in any inhabited system just take off from a planet or space station, hang around there for a bit instead of pulsing right away, wait for freighters to pop in nearby or look for them... then,

#

head towards them, when you get close enough you'll see the green frigate icon for recruitables

fierce aspen
#

ok, i'll try that. Thanks.

fierce aspen
#

Well dang, I got in the game, left my freighter, saw a group of freighters in the distance, approached them, was able to recruit 3 frigates there. Thank you so much!!

#

I did not have that kind of luck yesterday

fervent umbra
#

Anyone available to let me tour their freighter for the milestone?

#

Nvm got it done on the space anomaly

ashen shore
#

What is the optional milestone of phase 3?
it doesnt tell me what is the objective

cobalt kiln
#

Visit a party member’s freighter

fervent umbra
#

I just want to make sure but is my freighter supposed to be a C class? I know on the, I think, Leviathan expedition, you were supposed to get an S class multi-tool and ship but it could be C Class occasionally and you had to restart to get S class.

#

I finished it on Xbox and I'm playing on PS5 now but I want to know if I need to restart to get a better freighter or if it really matters.

#

I didn't see it in the FAQ in the pins but I figured I'd ask just to be safe.

orchid cave
#

I think you normally start with a C class freighter on this expedition

How long is the gap between expeditions?

fervent umbra
#

There is no defined time period. Basically whenever hello games decides they want to put out a new expedition.

# ashen shore Do the units & nanites transfer to saved game?

Sorry for the late reply, but I was not aware I had been tagged in this channel until now...in response to your question, the Units and Nanites obtained during the expedition will continue to be there once the expedition is completed and can be used in the game even after it converts to a Normal save file, but they do not transfer to any other save file and the only one you can spend that will transfer the purchases between saves is the Quicksilver so that would be the only useful one if your expedition save isn't your main save file

regal valley
#

Can someone tell me by chance what I should do or send me a page where it says so?

ashen shore
# regal valley

IIRC there shouldn't be any optional objectives in phase 1 of the expedition

regal valley
#

ok

ashen shore
#

But you don't have to worry, you can get all the main rewards without completing the optional objective (Hospitality)

#

Without it you won't be able to convert earlier to normal mode, but with less than a week remaining it doesn't really matter

What do you need help with exactly?

crystal basin
#

@ashen shore its the home planet beacon, when i press on it, i dont get anything

ashen shore
#

I think you're supposed to activate it and pulse with it

#

Till you get a message about random space encounter

crystal basin
#

in space u mean ?

#

tnx, that whas it

analog moon
#

Does the save convert when you finish the milestones or when time runs out?

ashen shore
#

Both actually

#

You can convert earlier if you complete all milestones, including the optional one (Hospitality, visit a freighter)

#

If not, the save will automatically convert at the end of the expedition

analog moon
#

Thanks. I guess it hasn't switched because I didn't do hospitality yet.

ashen shore
#

what did sean mean by this?

wraith junco
#

Buy frigates?

ashen shore
#

how do

#

that

cobalt kiln
#

Turn off multiplayer when in a system and pulse for frigates to spawn

#

Whoever wrote this instruction text in the game didn't didn't consult the recipes! LOL!

fervent umbra
#

I love that you can abort an expedition and it counts for the milestone 😅

fervent umbra
south dune
#

There’s the “water” descriptor from the galaxy map view which I think is what that is

fervent umbra
south dune
#

Yeah me neither 😅 I only recently found out what the number/letter sequence thing on each system meant

fervent umbra
cobalt kiln
#

What color it is

south dune
#

I don’t think the last digits mean anything but this sketchy website I found says the number corresponds to weather Hmm

fervent umbra
#

Could be useful for colorblind people though so I guess it's a good thing to have even though the game doesn't tell you about it.

south dune
#

Oh yeah good point! From the nms wiki:
First character: spectral class (?) and color of primary star
Number: brightness within class (so probably high number = higher temperature?)
Lowercase: “oddities for the star” not sure what that means tbh. Maybe certain letters correspond to the weird planets?

I asume its still the ship expedition?

Ah, yeah. That's a bug then! LOL!

#

When’s the next expedition?

wanton raft
#

No one knows.

fervent umbra
#

It only counts that you've started an expedition. I guess it should really only count it when you complete it so I guess it's a bug but it is one that I will take full advantage of haha

wanton raft
#

Interesting. It didn't count my expeditions until I'd completed them.

fervent umbra
#

I guess it considers an aborted expedition completed since it did leave your fleet if only for a little bit.

wanton raft
#

The expedition has been brain dead simple compared to the last one so I didn't need cheats.

fervent umbra
#

I'm fine with that. I finished it on Xbox but accidentally killed myself with like 2 milestones to go on PS5 in the last few hours until it closed so I gave up at that point. I like one that isn't a huge point of stress.

wanton raft
fervent umbra
#

I hadn't been setting up bases towards the end because I only had a little bit of time before I had to leave for work and there was no way to finish it at that point before I had to leave.

wanton raft
#

I did something like that too, but luckily for me it was early on.

fervent umbra
#

I thought it was a really good expedition don't get me wrong but it was also a pain in the ass sometimes.

#

I'm hoping we get to a point in the game's development where we can have cross platform saves so I don't have to do the expeditions on every platform to get the rewards.

wanton raft
#

The two free frigates from the previous expeditions sure do come in handy in this one!

fervent umbra
#

I didn't get the PS5 version until like the 4th or 5th expedition so I don't have access to the Normandy and I didn't finish the last one so I don't have the Leviathan. harold

#

I think I can still finish it but it would be nice to have those.

wanton raft
#

But luckily this game throws money at you like crazy so buying a bunch of frigates isn't a problem.

fervent umbra
#

I did have those on Xbox though so that did help on that one.

wanton raft
#

You make way too much money in NMS and Elite Dangerous, but that sure isn't the case in Star Citizen!

#

I sure do like the new convenience features Hello Games has added in this release! I finally actually like using my freighter.

#

I haven't tried it yet, but believe I saw a feature where you can teleport to each frigate? How awesome if that's true!

ashen shore
#

@fervent umbra wait I can abort the Expeditions and it still counts .. dear God I been doing it the long way

#

It's the last one I need for Phase 3 and after that I already finished all of phase for except for read the logs and get to the renedviez point..

@wanton raft my biggest issue was the very first System I got dropped into had a base where I could get a ton of Silver but I is no longer popping up on my previously visited bases ..

wanton raft

#

I wonder if there is a way to find that very first System Spawned in. Is it the same one for everyone

fervent umbra
fervent umbra
ashen shore
#

I also Wish there was a way to Favorite certain bases to warp too .. I have done I have been basically farming silver from like crazy, I actually want to learn how to make those mega Mining bases that mine me tons of Silver ..

wanton raft
ashen shore
#

@fervent umbra yea I don't think I went to the space station in that first system

fervent umbra
#

I think it's lemmium at least

#

No sorry, Herox Aronium and dirty bronze each refine into 250 silver.

ashen shore
#

@fervent umbra oh no this guy's base had like a ton of machines just pumping silver and I had 15 slots take up. Y the max amount of silver you can vrt

#

Than I sold it all and was set early game

#

For this expedition... Also used the teleporter that takes you to a crashed exotic

fervent umbra
#

Ah yeah I saw some of those. But if you need quick silver, and you have any of those alloys then it's a good way to get some.

#

I just found the first crashed ship base I could see and fixed it up then sold it at the space station.

#

Don't even have to fix the shield, you can just do launch system and pulse engine.

#

I just picked up a ton of silver early just to build on the freighter lol

ashen shore
#

I wonder if there any of those type of bases in just a regular mode... I'm thinking about playing a Regular mode game, right now I'm playing. Creative but wouldn't mind playing where ha ing to build actually matters

#

I just kinda wish the had an easy mode other than. Creative like I want to be have some risk of death lol

fervent umbra
#

I'm sure there are bases like that but most of the systems you'll come across in a normal save will have probably only been visited by maybe one or two people so you're not going to get a whole big selection.

fervent umbra
#

I'll usually grab my golden vector if on Xbox or a twitch drop ship if on PS5 to make things easier on me.

so that also means I am unable to land on it to scavenge it....

Yeah the broken freighter isn't the same as the derelict freighter. I think you might get pirates to show up if you shoot at the broken one but I don't remember exactly.

stoic tundra
#

okie dokie.... what's with @unkempt kraken post about creating a new save at least two days before the end of Exp #8

fervent umbra
#

Creeper used the !exptime command and that means that if you want to participate in the expedition you have to start a save at least 48 hours before it ends because otherwise it just won't let you start it.

#

I don't know why he used the command, and I don't think it was in response to your question.

stoic tundra
#

start what.... another expedition?

#

true in terms of my question

fervent umbra
#

No just this one.

stoic tundra
#

but aren't we all participating???? soooooo confused

fervent umbra
#

You can run it as many times as you want but you have to start the save for the expedition at least 48 hours before or you can't start one.

stoic tundra
#

huh?

#

run what

fervent umbra
#

Once you finish it once it resets to a normal save and you could set up a new save to run the expedition again

stoic tundra
#

but with the clock counting down... what would be the point... it's going to convert over to a normal game anyways

#

right?

fervent umbra
#

Some people like to run the expeditions multiple times

stoic tundra
#

but how do they do that beyond the time frame which ends in four days....

#

and why would anyone run it again,,, and again,,,, and again... and so forth???

fervent umbra
#

This one can be done in a single day if you want. It doesn't have to take 4 days but they've also had weeks to play it so it's just there to let people know how long they have to complete it

stoic tundra
#

true

fervent umbra
#

You're asking the wrong person about that but I know some people do

stoic tundra
#

more power to those do ....

#

that do

#

anywho... thanks for the clarification....

I always do them twice on two different accounts, PC and PS4.

fervent umbra
#

All I have left to do on PS5 is one more fleet expedition (I've exhausted all five available today) and the last 2 milestones of phase 5 and probably the optional one after that.

stone lotus
#

okay does the expedition end on the 9th or the 11th? in-game it says I have 3 days which puts it at the 9th

fervent umbra
#

I kind of wish the optional milestone gave you something big, like account-wide unlock big. It would be a nice incentive to do it.

ashen shore
#

@fervent umbra right, hey once this event is done is this game mode going to be normal or Survival game save. I heard it reverts to one of those but do we get to chose?

ashen shore
#

@fervent umbra Interesting so should try and stock up on the resources, like the Silver farms and what not... Or does it also reset you back to the beggining..with nothing.

I kinda wonder if there are any bases where players uploaded them. And have resources there to share. Though

fervent umbra
#

You keep everything you had during the expedition. If you want to stock up on silver you can but it doesn't remove anything from you.

So the ending of this expedition is a bit confusing to me. ||It basically didn't tell me anything. It just jumped me to a new system and that was it. I thought it would have a bit of explanation about the ship which was encountered in the"deep space cruise" milestone. Anyone else understand more?||

#

if i cancel an expedition halfway through does it count as a completion towards the milestone? the expeditions are 21+ hours 🙃

wanton raft

#

no im talking about a milestone which is complete fleet expeditions

#

im trying to complete it but each expedition is 21+ hours & wanted to figure out a way to do it faster

wanton raft
#

Ah, I get ya. I didn't do that during the expedition, but I heard talk that there may be a bug which allows you to cancel them and still get credit. No sure if that's true.

shy zealot
#

word, ill try it out see what happens

wanton raft
#

I'm actually kinda glad I didn't know about it when I was doing my frigate expeditions. May have been tempted.

#

But try it for science.

shy zealot

it works

#

dont have time to wait 26 hours lol

That's good for those trying to get done later this week I guess ... UNLESS Hello Games fixes the bug that is.

#

This expedition as been so easy compared to the last one even without that.

the info about being able to abort expeditions right away and have it still count for the milestone, that's in the pins here, which I recommend folks look at as they try to wrap things up quickly before the end of the event, lots of useful info in there
