I just get lost when I don't know if the milestone can be completed before or after reaching the rendezvous
ops task
indigo falcon
that is a complicated question but we'll have a rough outline for that too. this is a very special expedition and so the way the milestones work is more interesting than usual.
pine relic
Just from my general experience with expeditions that will vary on a milestone per milestone basis. Some stuff will be more efficient if done out of order, some will be better done in order... usually this means doing milestones 'before' their respective rendezvous, more rarely done after, but it can go either way. In any case, once the expedition actually starts, we should have most if not all the specific information posted, and probably pinned, within a day. @short sierra
indigo falcon
there are some that must be done on a specific world (there are exactly 4 of those).... but whether that is before or after you visit the rednezvous point can vary dpeneding on the run. more about this in the tips later 😉

Quick question regarding expo 8. Anyone found a user for the singularity engine outside of the expo? I know it hasn't started yet... But my question remains...

pine relic
Quick question regarding expo 8. Anyone found a user for the singularity engine ...
that's from Polestar, 8.
pine relic
Only expedition saves have the technology / blueprint, but it works basically as a portable black hole as far as I'm aware.
you activate the thing and it acts exactly like if you had jumped thru a black hole, putting you on some random system far far away.
brave knot
I saved my OG expo 8 as a normal save. But irl happened. And just never got around to playing around with it in a normal save. Then 4.0 v came and I never re set it up. So it's kinda sitting still lol

remote thunder
singularity engine doesn't always lead to the same location, even if triggered from the same system
as bliss mentioned, it's something similar to a space encounter black hole
pine relic
yeah that was my understanding from talks over in #nms-questions at the time, but it has been a while and I never bothered to confirm myself
there was also some discussion if it caused tech damage or not but I don't remember how that part went... I think there was none?
indigo falcon
anecdotal but I used it multiple times and never saw any
I figured that was a perk of the tech
remote thunder
and it makes sense that it would be
pine relic
yep makes sense to me. I can't think of anything that causes tech damage on freighters... at least up until 4.0.
Not sure if the difficulty settings for tech damage changed anything in relation to that
remote thunder
i warped a bh yesterday on normal mode, didn't see any damage, but then again, before 4.0 the answer was already like "may or may not damage 1 or more random tech per bh warp"
need to test a few more
indigo falcon
yeah it ould be nice if we knew where in the game files that was, pre 4.0, and could compare to current
assuming there even was a setting
could have just been baked in behaviour
pine relic
I assume that was the case but I'm not a dataminer
remote thunder
yes - at least so far i haven't encountered where if anywhere in game files core or bh warping is actually a thing, an event that has properties that we can tweak
so i'm tempted to agree that it's a exe thing

Hey I play on ps4 and I don’t see the expedition when I try to make a new save
pine relic
Hey I play on ps4 and I don’t see the expedition when I try to make a new save
That's because they close the expedition for new saves two days before the timer runs out. Next one opens in 14 ish hours.
indigo falcon
expeditions require you to start a new save at least 2 days before the end time. this is to avoid people starting it and running into time gates or other issues and being disappointed, I would guess
but you can track the times of current runs (and the one coming up) by checking the pins in here.
it will have start and end times in your local timezone even

tight for us casual players, mate. besides, I have to go snooze soon for work, and I wouldn't be able to do much before work, so at least for me it was for sure tight
indigo falcon
someone without a lot of experience with expeditions will not finish it all that fast. and also someone who didn't do the original run of this too
anyways, you got it done, that's the main thing
pine relic
I'm not so sure, the other day a switch player had like a two and a half hours clear time for it...
indigo falcon
and I've seen people come in with a lot more time on the run. it all depends
pine relic
Of course. Sidetracking can inflate that by a lot, too.
indigo falcon
sidetracking, not planning ahead of time for what's most efficient, all that
and to be fair, speed running these things is probably not the intended mode of play
you're supposed to wander around and see the sights
pine relic
Well, no idea what a speedrun time for it would be, I eneded up getting distracted by other games and didn't try it :P
indigo falcon
yeah, didn't see a lot of that this time around. people burned out on speedrunning with the original I think
pine relic
But I think it comes down primarily to experience with the game mode, really. With a bunch of expeditions under one's belt, focusing on the actual milestone tasks and whatnot starts coming more naturally, instead of treating it like a regular save.
indigo falcon
I'm gonna have to disagree; I did them all and I don't like to just concentrate on the milestones and etc. I want to explore around
pine relic
I've seen people talking about farming like, 50 million units or whatever while doing this expedition... which is really, really not necessary, for example, tho it could make sense if one intends to keep the save.
indigo falcon
and I would be willing to bet a virtual beer or other beverage of choice that a lot of players do the same, because they would be atttracted to this game in the first place
oh sure. people farm units, build fancy bases, all that
pine relic
That makes some sense but I do enough of that in my regular saves so I don't feel as inclined in expeditions
indigo falcon
of course, and I''m not knocking the 'get it done' playstyle at all
you do what works for you, and if you're wanting to get done and get back to the main save, that makes all kinds of sense too
pine relic
I'm sure we are in agreement, its just more of a perspective thing. If someone feels that this particular expedition took too long to finish, I'm inclined to believe that it was because the player didn't really focus on finishing it, for whatever reason, so its not really an issue with the design of the expedition itself in that case.
indigo falcon
oh, indeed. there's time to get it done in the two weeks even if your gaming hours are pretty limited.
we'll see about the next one 🙂
pine relic
Yeah, next one might be a very different case in that regard. :P
indigo falcon
it's gonna be interesting!
pine relic
Depends on how much they change... I'm curious to see.
indigo falcon
same!
pine relic
I'm intending to go at it in much the same task-oriented fashion as this one tho, mostly because a certain game I've been playing on and off for like ten years recently released on steam so I'm gonna throw some more money at the devs and deep dive that for a bit. :P

I'm pretty ok with them personally but I'm used to playing mmos and other games that have time-limited cosmetics, so I'm pretty much ok with it. I don't really expect to be able to get carved pumpkin hats if I don't play during Halloween, so I may be more tolerant of that sort of stuff.

Hey guys, I already finished the expedition 6. It was the first time I played the game and I was trying to find the best way to clear the sentinel waves. I managed to create a minotaur exocraft and found it amazing, extremely useful. Would having this exocraft be the endgame ?

I wouldn't say that NMS has an endgame, but you can think that the minotaur is it if that makes you happier. :P you can get it relatively early if you want to, however.

Nice, thanks 😄 It was gamechanger for me. I spent like 2 hours trying to fight the sentinel waves (I was trying to get the walker brain), with the minotaur it was very fast, something like 15 mins.

to be a little less facetious, I would classify the stages as 'early, mid and late' game. Since late game is basically infinite unless you get bored and decide to start over, there isn't much of an 'end' game.

It really depends. I would advise to prioritize looks first, because combat is not challenging enough to demand a super optimized multi tool, but if you want to min-max for the sake of personal satisfaction, if you get a MT with a decent overcharge slot layout, that can be worthwhile to upgrade with nanites.
pine relic

use a space station to teleport back to the r4 system. Both the system name and the coordinates and planet for the rendezvous location are in the pins.
pine relic

Incidentally, your trouble with sentinels is probably more due to being new to the game rather than it being difficult. I linked a video somewhere around here of myself beating all 5 sentinel waves in a hostile planet with just the starter multi tool and freebie technologies from milestones in the expedition, I can fetch that if you want. Its not particularly entertaining, no narration, just a demonstration really.

Oh send me please, I'll watch it
pine relic
If I upgrade with nanites, will upgrading slots get cheaper again?
Nope, but you should avoid upgrading slots with units anyway. You can get free MT slot upgrade items from manufacturing facilities, which you can easily buy charts to locate at the cost of one navigation data each, and if you use the save point next to the manufacturing facility you locate, you get a navigation data back, so its essentially free.
clever wren
Ohhhh I didn't know that, thank you again

Some of it is taught during the story / tutorial in non-expedition saves (you can also start it in expedition saves after its converted to normal mode, tho it skips the earliest stuff I think). Most of it comes with just experience and, you know, people sharing their strategies and whatnot. :P
@clever wren in regards to sentinel fighting, the main thing is to prioritize killing the pyramid shaped summoner dudes and the little healer bots first, unless you need to kill a 'regular' sentinel for a shield / hazard recharge from their dropped canisters. A good strategy is to not open the canisters until you need shield recharges, tho I don't make use of that particular strategy in the video because frankly I didn't need it. The big walkers require some armor-stripping (legs first, which stuns them, then torso) but you can pick that up from the video if you watch that far, I suppose.
pine relic
it really isn't. I'm not much of an FPS player and my reflexes are terrible, but the game has so much aim assist that it basically negates any natural handicaps lol
clever wren
lol 😄
pine relic
lol 😄
oh, and the quad (dog-like) sentinels most damaging move is a lunge / body slam type thing. When they're about to do that move, they jump away from you, and if you keep closing the distance they keep trying to jump backwards and get stuck not attacking, so that makes 'em pretty easy to deal with.
clever wren
I 'll try to deal with them again with MT on the next expedition haha
pine relic
I 'll try to deal with them again with MT on the next expedition haha
Once you get any multi-tool weapon with 3 S class or better upgrades, sentinels become pretty trivial to deal with. The easiest one to use at the moment is the pulse spitter (functions like a smg / full-auto rifle) but they're all comparable in effectiveness, it just depends on which one you feel more comfortable using. Scatter blaster is a shotgun, boltcaster is a semi-auto / 3 round burst rifle, and blaze javelin is basically a bow. The weapon tech upgrades are the main factor in determining your damage, the effect of the multi-tool itself is minor by comparison.

If you're having problems finding a specific color Star system, a quick trick you can do is go to the in-game encyclopedia section that lists all the different minerals and metals. Click on a mineral that is found in that particular type of system, pin it to your Mission Log, and when you pull up the Galaxy Map in space it'll point to that particular type of system under the "Current Mission" filter.
-Cadmium, will always be found in Red Systems (also required for Emeril Drive in order to access Green Star Systems).
-Emeril, will always be found in Green Systems (also required for Indium Drive in order to access Blue Star Systems)
-Indium, will always be found in Blue Systems
Hope that helps.

In the original run, there was also a time-based progression of the random mods system that they added with the expedition, at the start opening those random mods would mostly get you C class stuff, while at the end it was all S+ and X mods with buffed stat rolls.
To me it felt like the expedition was very inspired by roguelike stuff, at least in the original run. We'll see if any of that changes in any significant way.

Bases created by you remain, including freighter base, but no contents in containers, nor any other inventory; if you build bases on each anchor world you can go there from the first space station and save a lot of travel and warp fuel.
The partners in time milestone remains, when you go to Polo the first time after the reset you get this again.
You will automatically get the Iterate/Repeat milestone shortly after spawning in.
Any discoveries you made or animals you scanned stay scanned, so you get secondary minerals automatically, and if you scanned all fauna you can get the nanites again.

Getting things done in Leviathan (Serious Spoilers Ahead)
Put base computers as you go, at every anchor point world, at every point of interest you may need in case you die and must start over. That includes a sentinel pillar, a crashed freighter, an abandoned building, a world with storm crystals, and a building with shelter on a high sentinel world (for sentinel killing).
Every anchor point is a grave but don't bother putting down bases by these, since you get new gravesite locations on every loop.
Put down bases by portals so you can get back to the anchor points instead of using the locator scan. Report bases already there if you need to, so they disappear for you and let you do your business.
Do not upload any of your bases unless you are sure they will be useful to other players. A sentinel pillar base is fine, the rest can be easily found with nav data. Do not upload portal bases.
Also, build containers and any other unlocked items on your freighter; as part of a base, they too will be available after death, although their contents will not. Note that you start with a freighter when you spawn in.
Your goal should be to stay alive after the obligatory first death, to do all of phase 1, to get to all 5 gravesites (milestones To Crave the Stars (Ph2), Obsession (Ph3), Monomania (Ph4), and to do all of phase 5. Note that each gravesite is on the corresponding anchor point world. Once you have done this, you will have broken the loop. You can then go on to do more dangerous milestones without losing progress if you die, though items you had in the suit will be lost. See Persistence after death in Leviathan (#nms-expedition message) for more on what progress is kept after death.

In Leviathan the “rendezvous” are called “anchor points”. Just a smol tip.

Blueprint and Upgrade info for Leviathan
Blueprints and modules that you are not given along the way will cost you 10 times as much as normal. This is not a bug! You are intended to rely on milestone rewards and memory fragments. I.e. the base teleporter will cost not 2 but 20 salvaged data; an S class starship shield upgrade will cost you around 5k nanites rather than 500. Some blueprints at the Space Anomaly will be locked; use the weapon memory fragments you are given or go back through the loop and hope for better.
The memory resonator needs 16 ancestral memories, 40 gold, and 32 chromatic metal. Make sure you keep that many spare memories from creatures.
The Whalesong flute needs 32 liquid sun, 32 ancestral memories, and 32 somnal dust; make sure you keep that much spare dust from any derelict(s) you run.

you spawn in with survival mode settings. a couple of those can be adjusted but most cannot

if not, just "run" past them

I was forced against my will to breathe some toxic air though.
Also I have found that aside of majority of difficulties is locked up, I can tone down to normal stuff like grinding (resource scarcity), annoying 💩 like technology breaking and enemy damage, which surprised me.
Also I was surprised that creature and sentinel difficulty is set to hostile level, yet not every creature is hostile. 🤔
I even saw a predator killing another creature.
But not being hostile towards me.
pine relic
if not, just "run" past them
doing it more for the milestone and figured I might as well get a stack of dust while here... also for the tainted metal since rv2 requires emeril drive which seems to be easier to buy even with inflation... either way, seems to be going well even at a slow pace
patent canyon
And in Derelicts you can usually sneak behind enemies.
In case of monstrosity nests or the turrets.
There is one exception though and that are drones and jellyfishes.
These ones need to be blasted.

sadly storm crystals from derelicts don't count towards that milestone >.>

can you find your grave in this expedition?
indigo falcon
survival mode means no graves for recovering items, it doesn't work like that
see the pins in here for what happens after death, and other useful info

ok, haven't tried survival mode
pine relic
its more of a feature of the pseudo-permadeath of the expedition since it kicks you out to menu whenever you die
indigo falcon
survival mode doesn't give you graves though, so that's consistent
patent canyon
This expedition has mandatory "loose items upon death" difficulty.
So no player traveller graves.
patent canyon
its more of a feature of the pseudo-permadeath of the expedition since it kicks ...
That's annoying.
fleet hollow
and i had found some runaway mold, too. i should have put down a marker.
pine relic
That's annoying.
That's the design of the expedition tho.
patent canyon
Yep. But why return to main menu per every death instead of just reset instantly?
That's lazy programming.
pine relic
nope, that's how permadeath works. Except it skips the part about deleting your save since that would be counter to how the expedition is implemented :P
patent canyon
So the expedition is purposely broken permadeath then... 
pine relic
infested is different from toxic
indigo falcon
no, it has to have the specific floar and the worm burrows and the whispering eggs around
it's very recognizable, let me get a link
pine relic
it can be a sub-type of toxic, but it can be a sub-type of pretty much any other biome too. RV1 planet works for it.
indigo falcon
patent canyon
Though I am not sure if infested can have toxic atmosphere too.
But it's unique from toxic with its own stuff.
indigo falcon
it's a sub-biome, you might find frozen ones of these or toxic or etc

Then I remembered I had a freighter
But if I didn't I was done
patent canyon
For me and that's regardless of multiplayer, there is one annoying 🐛 , still not fixed - sometimes a sentinel flies away from you and if you then come near it, the wanted level goes down as if you left the sentinels instead.
Which makes almost impossible to do objectives or recipes requiring stuff like Walker brain.
Or if you just want to shut down sentinels by defeating all their waves.

In the original run I joked about farming nanites to buy freighter paints
I still wanna do it for the lols, but I think there won't be enough time for that
pine relic
not hard to farm memory fragments by feeding animals if you find a good enough planet for it so... it shouldn't take long
frank galleon
so this expedition more than most, you really want to be choosy about which freighter layout you accept.
ive been using npc freighters to access things like large refiners without unlocking them, ymmv
pine relic
tho all that crap was from a stack of dust I got from the derelict freighter
frank galleon
oh yeah, meleeing the infested pustules
pine relic
You start with a freighter so I don't think there's any freebie ones
frank galleon
oh wait, shooting them probably gives somnal dust now in the exp
pine relic
to be fair I didn't run into any rescue events yet to confirm
frank galleon
You start with a freighter so I don't think there's any freebie ones
well, i can still keep track of which systems have npc freighters with refiners
pine relic
I just built a freighter refiner since its cheap enough and you start with the blueprint unlocked
45 gold, 60 silver, 2 jelly
maybe two minutes of asteroid shooting
frank galleon

third really

Well i just got here xolyon, if that even is your real name
steady shore
but early on, yes
I mean I literally did it first lok
Also don't u need it to escape the system?
Idk if that's another milestone can't remember
indigo falcon
you can die before that
before getting to the ship even, and that's recommended for the first loop
after that one death your goal should be to stay alive
steady shore
you can die before that
Yeah that's what I'm saying
Oh yh btw since I gave coords to the sential Pillar
You can do two in one
Fight some sentials, shut down the pillar and receive the rewards for the kill aswell

I don't think I understand this expedition very well. So when you die, you lose ...

Bases created by you remain, including freighter base, but no contents in containers, nor any other inventory; if you build bases on each anchor world you can go there from the first space station and save a lot of travel and warp fuel.
The partners in time milestone remains, when you go to Polo the first time after the reset you get this again.
You will automatically get the Iterate/Repeat milestone shortly after spawning in.
Any discoveries you made or animals you scanned stay scanned, so you get secondary minerals automatically, and if you scanned all fauna you can get the nanites again.

Thank you, I understand better now. I appreciate the help. I also didn't know discord pins existed. Very cool. 👍

Anyone done with the expedition already?

Haven't started yet, but from what I have read here this seems pretty difficult. If I botch it, can you start a brand new run at the expedition?
fringe agate
You don't need to, but yes -- you can start as many fresh saves as you'd like in the timeframe
pine relic
Haven't started yet, but from what I have read here this seems pretty difficult....
no need, you can die infinitely its just very inconvenient
there are steps to mitigate it tho (in the pins)

Well I hope I won't need to but I can botch up boiling water. 🙂

I've done everything on the first system
Just need to get crystals, memories and anchors
golden condor
Nice. Everyone is still working on it. I haven’t started myself. Plan to do it after dinner tonight. Seems like this is gonna be hard. Guess I’ll switch between Warframe and NMS for the next few days
pine relic
yeah I just got to rv2, this one is gonna be significantly slower than blighted
indigo falcon
back in a while, meeting
pine relic
granted I took a half hour break for lunch lol
pine relic
you can, but probably shouldn't if its just some random stranger
steady shore
Just a little trolling
indigo falcon
fastest meeting ever, back already
griefing is crap, don't do it
so: did not find a storm crystal world in any of the anchor point systems, I'll need to go to each planet and wait a day-night cycle to double check I guess, meh
also no pugneum at any of the space stations
indigo falcon
gotta buy it I guess, which is unfortunate
let me triple check the milestones
nope, nothing there
pine relic
yep, gotta buy it.
possible source of storm crystals at rv2 tho, so I'm heading over to check if it has any...

i found storm crystal 
omg perma death! this going to ber bad

not really, but a decent introduction

That's why I have turned off PVP.

The resource shop difficulty is forced to be scarce.

not all griefing is pvp

Fortunately you can scale down damage of enemies to normal.
And for all cases it's good idea to have prepared creature pellets for predators. (There is also objective to befriend a hostile creature.)
ashen shore
not really, but a decent introduction
that makes it better 😄
opaque crest
If I'm looking to do a little bit of cheesing, could I quickly close out my game if I die, and have the death not save?
indigo falcon
yes, that was reported to work for players during the previous run
opaque crest
Very cool, thank you apergos
pine relic
Never worked for me but I suppose it depends on computer speed...
at least in regular permadeath, didn't try for the expedition
opaque crest
Ah. On console. Well, better to try than not I suppose
steady shore
i found storm crystal <a:bcaHappy2Want:474892073636593665>
Ok where fam
ashen shore
Is this one going to be another easy one if you know what you’re doing and just stay online all day?
indigo falcon
no
steady shore
Yes
pine relic
Is this one going to be another easy one if you know what you’re doing and just ...
knowing what you're doing will be helpful, staying online all day is very much optional
indigo falcon
this is the hardest of the expeditions that has run so far, it will not be easy, though it should be entirely manageable
ashen shore
Ok where fam
do u want to come to me
pine relic
the only noticeable hurdle so far has been emeril drive for rv2, the rest seems pretty standard
steady shore
do u want to come to me
I can't play rn
Can u say where it is
System + planet + anchor
ashen shore
between rv1 and rv2
a system named kolars
uhhh
i dont think that will be helpful
indigo falcon
I will say that the anchor poits do not seem to have the hellscape going on that one did the last time
pine relic
i dont think that will be helpful
dominant lifeform and economy rating would be helpful for filtering
steady shore
between rv1 and rv2
Can u send a screenshot of the star system
Yeah
I mean galaxy map
pine relic
I will say that the anchor poits do not seem to have the hellscape going on that...
rv3 was a infested planet with non-stormy extreme storms so yeah, comparatively easier
steady shore
Galaxy map position
Suitable with a beacon like an anchor point
Or just stay their and I'll join u tomorrow lol

not really necessary, you can just teleport to the station when needed...

I'm not that far yet, stuck in between 3 and 4 trying to get some hyperdrive fuel going lol
indigo falcon
I'm investigating systems on another save with enemy settings set appropriately to know which worlds have what sentinel level, or I was, at this point I'm now just poking around

got a hypercore from a crashed freighter so that ought to help a bit...

Location tips for Leviathan Redux
These worlds in these systems have predators: Lowest Mano, starter world in starter system (Kusinst), creature Z. Gallemotae (has two humps, weird upturned trunk with eyes on it for head, not player-hostile)
For outlaw systems, see this post <#nms-expedition message>
No worlds at anchor systems have been found to have storm crystals so far. For planets off the route that have them, see this post <#nms-expedition message> or this one <#nms-expedition message>
The world Abuj Tau in the starter system (Kuinst) has a sentinel pillar at coordinates -16.25, +42.75.
No space stations in anchor systems sell pugneum (needed to build memory fragments and the minotaur eobay) at the terminal, but some NPCs at the station in the anchor 3 system (Satands) sell it.
These space stations sell silver (needed to build memory fragments): starter system (Kusinst) back room, anchor 4 system (Vedneya) front terminal, anchor 5 system (Hantury VIII) back room
This derelict has only jellyfish so you can safely run it for the phase 5 "Shattered Past" milestone after visiting the phase 2 gravesite to get the glyphs: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/v1k85r/fyi_you_can_do_the_phase_5_expedition_7_derelict/ The system derelict SV Ihonjot XVII in the Anchor 3 System (Satands) has only jellyfish as well.
This exotic world has only one fauna, register after scanning for completion for 250 easy nanites: Yillis, capped planet, anchor 1 system (Denayanov) (also has gold deposits). You can also hoard and sell off unwanted memory fragments for nanites.

I used a handy toxic plant but that works too
indigo falcon
go punch an animal and let it kill you. whatever works
ashen shore
so i am stuck on phase 1 milestone 5
pine relic
so i am stuck on phase 1 milestone 5
why?
indigo falcon
"bounds testing"?
ashen shore
yes that one
Polo needs materials, i got the solar ray, but its not doing anything but destroying the ground
pine relic
you gotta use it on deposits
ashen shore
ohhhh
pine relic
copper, sodium, faecium, whatever
indigo falcon
if you prefer you can feed fauna and harvest memories, that works fine too
anything to get the milestone done
pine relic
yep, if short on carbon shooting the ground / trees with your ship works wonders still
indigo falcon
later you will need liquid sun for a blueprint but that's whenever you like before phase 5

urff... i did a stupid.. i warped to new systems but didn't do the memory resonator, and now i need to backtrack somehow

did you visit space stations?

teleport from station
indigo falcon
if so, go to the nearest one and check the list, system names are all in a pin in here
pine relic
I did the exact same thing right after leaving the rv1 system >.>
pine relic
this one will not be a speedrun at all... hours in and I still have like two phases almost completely blank
indigo falcon
once you know the lay of the land you cna speed on through
naive prism
we need the location of an outlaw station too, meh
ow i have a base for that
will post shortly
ashen shore
does the DF need to be finished?
pine relic
contraband will be another situation...
ashen shore
that and storm crystals
i have storm crystal
naive prism
indigo falcon
we'll want an image of it selected on the galaxy map from the anchor system it's closest to, and the world name (also if it has aggro sentinels), if you can get that at some point, Miki
indigo falcon
it would be great to have an image showing the distance of that in ly from the closest anchor system.
ashen shore
the tortuga system
ive heard that name from soemthing but cant place it
indigo falcon
what's it close to, which anchor system?
indigo falcon
I'll go to Denayanov and see if I see it in the galaxy map
ashen shore
how do i

yeah i'm working on that :)
pine relic
I'd just teleport to a base and then from there back to a regular station
naive prism
base 1 is in rdv1, tortuga is down from rdv2, there was this weird gap/void between those 2 that forced you to go way round
pine relic
not that I've set up teleporters at any of my bases lol

is that 55ly from anchor 1 or anchor 2?
pine relic
teleport, don't warp.
indigo falcon
ah um... yeah if you can give an image from the one it's closest to, sorry to make you do the extra work
pine relic
or you can teleport to tortuga and click on rv1 / rv2 to get the distance, it works both ways
indigo falcon
pic please?? pretty please?
pine relic
I'll get one, hang on.
indigo falcon
lemme work on it
ashen shore
kolars system is 67ly away from that one
