i warped maybe some 1000LY away from expedition route first, then asked polo for a black hole, and took that one

[woven shadow]

Yeah I jumped in one and all the systems near the exit seem to be discovered already

[full sun]

If you add a couple of good upgrades to your drive you can do a couple of very long jumps and get out of discovered space pretty quick

[remote thunder]

there's at least 2 rdv system stations with s-class ship hyperdrive modules, starter system station included if needed

[woven shadow]

I am already far from the expedition route after my first black hole jump. I asked Nada for more black hole coordinates

We’ll see where this takes me

Yes! A fresh system

[robust atlas]

Got undiscovered systems when I warpend in the opposite direction of the first phase ending point…
There were a few already discovered, but after the third Jump the remaining 5 systems were no problem…

[woven shadow]

Oh I’ve found an area with undiscovered systems and I’m just jumping through them

I think I have enough fuel that I won’t have to go mine copper and make more chromatic metal or anything like that

Yay, all done!

I will go back to my main save and get the rewards

[muted granite]

I jumped through two consecutive black holes to find my systems. Worked well enough 🍻

[formal thicket]

How does one tell that a system is undiscovered?

[severe inlet]

”First contact”

[remote thunder]

basically, no one been there before - iow, no one uploaded the discovery of that system yet. hints lower right of the hud can be force cycled by pressing H or dpad left multiple times

check <#nms-expedition message>, pinned post

[fleet maple]

Just started the expedition, and the first task it's asking me to do is 'Repair Atmospheric Control Unit' but doesn't give me any other info, or show me where it is? Am I being a big Dumb Dumb? 😆

[remote thunder]

open freighter inventory tab, cursor over flashing damaged tech

remember that you get x1 repair kit to start

[unkempt kraken]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Inventory Management - Using Repair Kits

Repair Kit can be obtained from multiple sources (e.g. Contraband Agent npc in Outlaw stations, Mission Boards, Scrap Dealer, Autophage Synthesis terminals), and is applied to damaged sub-components.

1. Cursor over the damaged tech or slot, and press Repair
2. Cursor over the damaged sub-component and press Apply Repair Kit.

I have completed Phase 5

• Collected Flux readings for Nada
  -Selected ”collective consciousness” (then select Anomalous research)
• Now I’m stumped after a good 40 min trying to figure it out

[fleet maple]

Thanks, turns out yes, I am a big dumb dumb 😆

[remote thunder]

select collective consciousness in the mission Log, force cycle hints lower right by pressing H or dpad left - buy myth beacon from quicksilver shop

[severe inlet]

Ahh! Thank you!

[tiny gale]

someone last night said somethign about turning off somethign for when you do the 8 systems mission- does anyone remember what it is or what he was talking about

[remote thunder]

disconnect from internet to cut off the connection to online discovery services server

without that connection, every system will be undiscovered for you

the game is unable to download discovery data uploaded by anyone

[tiny gale]

ty

after the BS last night I just wanna get teh expedition done

[frozen sequoia]

Hello! I am on the 5th phase of the expedition, I have this quest at the moment and I want to make sure which types of charts do I really need here so to now mess something up😅 (there are many types of planetary charts..)

[remote thunder]

Phase 5: Historiography Lesson: Make sure to have Historiographical Dosimeter on exosuit cargo; Get 3 alien charts from the Space Station Cartographer, use them all (spam use through any errors till it adds the next marker). Any Rdv system planet will work; Visit them all, pick the relevant option to progress milestone.

[frozen sequoia]

Thanks!

[white perch]

I’m trying to do uncharted but I think I’ve lost all hope

[frozen sequoia]

I did 3 of them but I am still in the same place, so no progress on the quest, why could that be? I checked I have the dosimeter

[remote thunder]

@white perch ^

[frozen sequoia]

ah wait I may have chosen the wrong answer...

I went with the story one but I think history and language then

[remote thunder]

did you select this option?

[white perch]

Didn’t even know that was an option

[remote thunder]

alternatively, if you'd prefer not to:

Phase 4: Uncharted: Have to actually discover systems (just the system, no need to land on any planet). Make sure you visited the station of the last rendezvous system you've been to, take a few warps away from expedition systems (up/down/left/right, you pick), then get black hole coordinates from Polo@Space Anomaly, and go through it. Finally, warp again away from that position at the current max range of your ship, 1-3 times - that should take you into undiscovered areas.

[frozen sequoia]

yes I did go for that one but I assume thats not what I needed

[white perch]

Bless

[remote thunder]

take dosimeter reading for nada, 3 times, would have worked yes, to progress and complete historiography lesson milestone from phase 5 - is that not the milestone you're running?

[frozen sequoia]

I was running this

[white perch]

Mind if I DM you?

[remote thunder]

that's not the same milestone as this one here ^

[frozen sequoia]

the other picture I sent was from the Anomalous research mission which this refers to as I understand..

[remote thunder]

uh

[white perch]

This maybe a pure idiotic question but how can I tell if it’s uncharted?

[remote thunder]

@frozen sequoia sorry about that then, mb

Phase 5: Collective Consciousness: Myth Beacon is purchased from Space Anomaly Quicksilver shop, switch filter to Other Curiosities see example image :externallink:

[white perch]

If the info isn’t there shouldn’t it be not discovered

I go to an area that doesn’t have info but it says it was discovered

Should everything be blank?

[remote thunder]

"first contact" instead of "discovered by"

alternatively, force cycle hints by pressing H or dpad left to see milestone counter

[white perch]

I warp to this and sometimes it says it’s discovered

I’m in free explore

[remote thunder]

sorry, atm i would prefer you ask here directly

[white perch]

It’s ok bk

Understandable

[remote thunder]

you can't figure out what systems are discovered from the galaxy map, you actually have to warp to a system to find out

[frozen sequoia]

Is there anypoint in collecting vocabulary in an expedition save?

does it carry over?

[remote thunder]

not that i'm aware of, no

[frozen sequoia]

okay then I wont bother more than is neccessary

[white perch]

I also wanted to know if it was worth adopting a pet

I loved seeing rolling balls (sorry for that reference lol)

[remote thunder]

pets also do not merge over to primary save, but you can transfer eggs to another player

that said, it would have to be someone that started from a new save

[white perch]

So apparently any side stuff is just a distraction

[uncut grotto]

Start it on 15th

[frozen sequoia]

well the inventory and money does carry over as I have heard? I am new here tho haha

or at least the inventory gets to be sold or something of the sort..

[remote thunder]

money nanites and quicksilver merge over to primary; if started from existing save, you got expedition terminus that has 24 cargo and 8 tech slots to bring back stuff to primary (not eggs though), and you can even do that process multiple times

[feral scaffold]

Does switching off multiplayer have any effect on the Uncharted milestone?

Okay thanks 🙂

[remote thunder]

nope, need to cut off connection to online discovery services server

[tiny gale]

they told me disconnect form teh net and do that part

[remote thunder]

well

that's an alternative

in the pins there's suggested course of action for that milestone

[tiny gale]

i didnt know how to turn off discovery services

[remote thunder]

can't turn it off actually through an ingame option

would need to go offline/block game on firewall/disconnect internet

[tiny gale]

and for that 5 waypoint part, instead of buying maps and jsut randomly flying around- use the signal beacon

[frozen sequoia]

okay to add to the question about stuff carrying over.. Is it also possible to then take tech with you?

[remote thunder]

nice one yep, thanks

[frozen sequoia]

the same way, through that expedition terminus

[feral scaffold]

I'm following the alt suggestion in the pins. Found a new system in my first warp.

[remote thunder]

8 tech slots in the expedition terminus yep, will work both ways

[frozen sequoia]

great! good to hear

[tiny gale]

not installing any tech so I can jsut transfer it over easier without having to uninstall it from the slot

[remote thunder]

remember that if it's about tech/modules installed in ship or MT, you'd be able to clone those once back in primary save, multiple times if needed, then store tech/modules into primary save. it's also possible to use expedition terminus more than once, to get around the 8+24 slot limit

[tiny gale]

wait, so i can clone them numerous times and then say dismantle them for parts and money

[remote thunder]

yep

[tiny gale]

yeah, so i can take that s class mt with me

but it has to be the one you have on you when you finish right?

[remote thunder]

as long as you don't actually press that finish button, you can "modify" exp terminus stash/equipped ship/MT, save, pause/options/return to primary, do <things> e.g. clone ship, pause/options/resume expedition, <do more things> e.g. add other items to stash, switch to a diff ship/MT, save, pause/options/return to primary, etc

[white perch]

Ok the no internet thing insanely works 😂

[remote thunder]

and can even copy the same ship multiple times - no need to scrap before copying again

[white perch]

I still think the ancient ruins is broken

Is there multiple types of ancient ruins?

[tiny gale]

what about your exo suit, what if you bought upgraded slots while in expedition?

[remote thunder]

nameless history milestone?

[remote thunder]

none of it merges

[white perch]

Yes

I wrote this before

I uncover the keys unlock the chest

Nothing pops up

I dig so far I can’t dig anymore

[remote thunder]

wrong type of ruin, need one of these

[white perch]

The hell is that

😂

[remote thunder]

Phase 3: Nameless History: Get 3 Alien charts from the cartographer, use them all spamming use chart through any errors. Ignore monolith marker, visit one of the other markers and pick ''Seek help with language'' option. Optional: Drop and claim a base computer on this planet/visit station to return later for Phase 5: Historiography Lesson milestone.

[white perch]

Bk just wondering - how many hours you invested in this game? 😂

[granite jewel]

what to bring?

[remote thunder]

lots/thousands 😄

[remote thunder]

if you're going to start from existing save, bring crafting, refining, recharging and freighter base building basics (dust, cmetal, o2, carbon, tritium, gold, silver, warp hypercores etc); something to sell/refine for nanites (e.g. sus packets tech/arms, tainted metal/runaway mould) and sell for units (e.g. stasis device, illegal goods)

cond carbon
o2
ferrite dust
gold
silver
ionised cobalt
sodium
ion battery
faecium
tritium
chlorine

opt: bionic lure, amino chamber

[white perch]

Awesome 😎

I started fresh

[remote thunder]

def one of my dailies

[white perch]

I think they give you enough

[remote thunder]

my first run was also started from new save yep

[white perch]

I just don’t wanna super cheese my way through it. I got tons of resources in my old game but fresh is fun

[remote thunder]

very glad that there are two ways to start expedition, fits all use cases

[white perch]

I can’t wait for the next one

I forgot to take a pic of the airy planet and jumped systems without going to the space station 😦

[tiny gale]

what happened to all the bases showing up, last night there were alot with resources and spots for frieghters and ruins, now today its mostly fishing spots

[remote thunder]

each system has a limit of parts that can be uploaded by all players - eventually some bases are just going to "fall off" the list.

[tiny gale]

i guess that one system wanted nothing but fishing sites showing

[formal thicket]

What do I do with myth beacon?

[remote thunder]

select collective consciousness in expedition tab/mission Log, unpause, wait for/force cycle hints lower right by pressing H or dpad left, what does the hint want you to do?

[remote thunder]

airless? any planet with rusted metal will work

[formal thicket]

Ah ha! It finally gave me a relevant hint! Thank you

[white perch]

I found the OG system

[white perch]

Thanks 😊

[copper trail]

honestly screw this objective in particular

[turbid edge]

I agree. Took me 30-40 minutes just to find 8 systems that weren't already discovered

[copper trail]

because of that goal this is the first expedition ive whipped out the save editor for

gave myself the glyphs so I could use a portal and warp to a completely random and undiscovered part of the galaxy

[tiny gale]

next time just disconnect from discovery services or unplug the inter net for a few minutes

[copper trail]

didnt want to do that

[half coral]

Has anyone else had a glitch with the Echo through the ages mission with it not working ?

I have deployed the myth beacon several times and nothing is working, doing it next to the building thing too and it won't say it's done. I have checked YouTube and what I am doing is right but clearly something is wrong

[tiny gale]

its prob cause of all that shit around it, all those bases, taking forever to upload data

[half coral]

So like go offline and try it that way ?

[tiny gale]

im about to, cause i cant even land anywhere within 300u of it right now

[half coral]

Hmm

[tiny gale]

that seemed to do the trick, disconnected from the net

[wintry void]

I had same earlier, i went to a nearby system, turned mp off, saved and reloaded then jumped back into system and did it. You near enough need to be stood on the structure

[tiny gale]

yeah, im cool, i have my base builtinto the ring, or im cool i have my base in the air in teh path of the ship

[half coral]

I'll give it a go

If I'm offline/ turned multiplayer disabled, why do I still see save beacons and bases ?

Omg it worked

So like is the Normandy on my main save fleet now too ?

[tiny gale]

is this a new save or were you playing on this character before?

[remote thunder]

it will be claimable in anomaly like you're thinking regardless of that Mike

[tiny gale]

now i know why people dont "finish" the expeditions until teh very end, more units and nanites

[half coral]

Same character as before

[tiny gale]

then like Bk just said, its available for collection at teh quicksilver vendor

[half coral]

Awesome

[dire mirage]

uh, how exactly do you do Signs to Nowhere?

is there an easy way to find more of these?

[tiny gale]

use youe signal beacon

[remote thunder]

quick scanning with ship, signal booster, secure charts

[dire mirage]

niec thank you

uh. using Signal Booster doesn't do anything?

[copper trail]

alright that expedition is done now, I started it a couple days late cause I didnt know it was happening

[dire mirage]

yeah I did this and it found nothing?

it iddn't seem to do anything at all

[tiny gale]

it didnt find any buildings for you

[dire mirage]

nothing

it's like it didn't do anything at all

[tiny gale]

you did open the menu on it right?

[dire mirage]

oh. is it because I'm on an Airless world?

[copper trail]

just fly in your ship on a planet and spam the scanner until it finds an "unknown building"

[tiny gale]

👆 this works too

[remote thunder]

signal booster has limited range btw

5 secure charts, fire 3, spam use through errors; visit 2, fire remaining charts, visit rest of markers

[haughty nimbus]

i completed the expedition but cant claim my boundary herald or any of the phase rewards on any save. what am i doing wrong lol

[remote thunder]

sometimes flying around randomly doesn't pick up any; charts always do if used in an inhabited system

[remote thunder]

do note that live right now isn't expedition 16: it's expedition 2 redux

sure you completed exp16 when it was still live?

[haughty nimbus]

o crap im dumb lol. i thought i was doing that expedition with the herald

[remote thunder]

not to worry, surely exp16 will get a rerun if you didn't get a chance to finish it

[serene flax]

im starting the expedition, what should i bring with me to make my time super super quick and easy

oh hi BK

[remote thunder]

cond carbon
o2
ferrite dust
gold
cmetal
silver
ionised cobalt
sodium
ion battery
faecium
tritium
chlorine

opt: bionic lure, amino chamber

bring crafting, refining, recharging and freighter base building basics (dust, cmetal, o2, carbon, tritium, gold, silver, warp hypercores etc); something to sell/refine for nanites (e.g. sus packets tech/arms, tainted metal/runaway mould) and sell for units (e.g. stasis device, illegal goods)

[serene flax]

fab thanks!

always know imma get a perfect answer when i see your name

[remote thunder]

hopefully i'll keep on meeting that expectation! 😄

[serene flax]

well ive been a part of the discord and community for a long long time now and ive not seen you fail even once XD

[ocean gorge]

I’ve also found, if you have a lot of salvaged glass sitting around, cracking that and sending the sentinel shard tech into expedition is good for selling for nanites (really any tech you aren’t using but often people who’ve played a lot have glass just sitting around, like me😂)

[remote thunder]

oh definitely

[serene flax]

ok thanks, ill have a look to see if i can find any nanite stuff

i really need to make a nanite farm,... its criminal that in all my years playing ive never made one

been to busy living in my freighter

[ocean gorge]

Fighting sentinel waves (the non dissonant kind) drops salvaged glass

[remote thunder]

i suggested sus packets tech/arms because they're easy to buy from outlaw systems

[neon merlin]

I would add one slot of activated metals, like cadmium, indium or emeril. At the late game on a main save all of those should be available, and give a lot of chromatic metal or be sold for a good money

[remote thunder]

thought i added cmetal to the list lol

[ocean gorge]

I’m taking plenty of chromatic metal which was on the bottom part of bk’s list

[remote thunder]

ah it wass 😄

i was kinda joining 2 diff posts i had made

need to make a new pinned post for those like soon, later, tomorrow at the most

[ocean gorge]

Do you need lures in this one? I know in Cursed you didn’t really have to use lures

[remote thunder]

mealworms will do just fine, which is why i added bionic lure as optional, but it will help with the icy fish+uncommon milestone

[neon merlin]

Oh, I did not recognized.
Basically as you know activated metals give 2-3 times more cmetal, so equal about three expeditions slots, and have a good value. It requires a personal refiner v2 tech slot, but that’s seems to be okay for me

[feral scaffold]

Are there any announcements made for when a new expedition starts? I only happened to check in-game and noticed the expedition had gone from 16 back to 2 for some reason

[remote thunder]

to be clear, you can refine activated indium on a 1 input slot refiner (>1 input slots does mean you can do recipes like act indium+pure ferrite though)

[feral scaffold]

Want to make sure I keep up to date and not miss any re-runs over the winter period

[remote thunder]

i'd subscribe #nms-announcements

[ocean gorge]

This is my planning area for expedition, I have a mk2 personal refiner plus the exped freighter I can refine on I’m guessing to make things like Cond carbon and ion cobalt. I think this should suffice along with bringing over my MT and ship

[feral scaffold]

I am but I still managed to miss it. I saw the post but I thought it was just about cross-play and the PS5. My bad, I should have read it more thoroughly

[ocean gorge]

Don’t know if I need the glass but I hate refining glass

[neon merlin]

I know, but having v2 refiner is better for early game, it should be unlocked on a main save anyway

[ocean gorge]

I like mk2 refiner mainly for oxygen expansion (make more stuff of the stuff you’re making)

[neon merlin]

Parafinium is useful

[remote thunder]

you're both right; i just didn't feel the need to refine anything - i mostly buy mats

[ocean gorge]

You get way more condensed carbon if you add carbon and oxygen for example

[ocean gorge]

For? Exocraft?

I never use parafinnium for much of anything regularly

[neon merlin]

Yeah, having 120m creds in one slot is enough to buy any s-class ship just from the beginning and skim through any expedition

[neon merlin]

Geobay is quite useful, but I would agree that at that stage it could be bought in any shop

[ocean gorge]

Parafinnium usually isn’t too hard to find, one way or another

[white perch]

Any k

any known way to find an icy world with water?

Also Shadow, some merchants carry it. I just bought Chlorine

[neon merlin]

I’m just “fill all slots with 9999 resources from extractors and do not think about resources at all”

[ocean gorge]

The pins are very helpful
Check this one (there’s info about that milestone)

[humble fulcrum]

so that means no?

[remote thunder]

1060 would be superior to 1050, so i guess that's a no from the developers

[humble fulcrum]

ok

[tiny gale]

i thought about living on my freighter all the time and only making bases for mineral harvesting

[serene flax]

It’s fun to do

But a bit sad as no one will ever see my freighter naturally

[tiny gale]

i wouldnt mind having the freighters refiner and extractor rooms for base builds

[muted granite]

The experimental in starting system is a reload at Bruthac Delta, right?

[remote thunder]

Iirc yes

[muted granite]

Just wrapping up expedition now, claiming MT.

now to see if I can figure out this multi-step item transfer process for the first time..

[remote thunder]

Will you want to bring more than 8 tech items and 24 cargo items, or more than 1 ship and/or mt?

[muted granite]

yep

Some freighter modules, some MT modules, some exosuit modules, and one or two starship modules. Everything else I can fit in one go.

I recently ditched my original main save, so my new main save is... two weeks old? These modules will go a long way.

[remote thunder]

Easy then. Feel free to ask in case you get questions

[muted granite]

You bet - I do have one starting question...

If I claim the final phase of the expedition, does it automatically end it?

[remote thunder]

No

[muted granite]

and if I put the MT modules onto the MT I copy over, I don't need to put em in the tech slots then, eh?

[remote thunder]

basically, starting from existing save, it always waits on user input at exp terminus to finish

[muted granite]

perfect

[remote thunder]

correct

[muted granite]

Beauty, that simplifies it a bit

[remote thunder]

so idea is

you complete all so that exp terminus lets you edit stash again

add your stuff in, make sure you got the desired ship and MT equipped

if that's all you'll want to do, you can actually end expedition

if you want to use the mechanic more than once, don't end

edit stash, equip desired ship+MT, save, pause/options/return to primary

(goto anomaly, get stuff, copy gear if you want, etc - when done, save, pause/options/resume expedition)

repeat as many times as you want, for copying different ships or MTs even

[muted granite]

You rock, will have to get to that later, baby woke up

[bleak turret]

and its mine 😄

[remote thunder]

Congrats!

[bleak turret]

only missing one

guess what it is

[remote thunder]

Uncharted

[bleak turret]

yep

time to go black hole hunting

[remote thunder]

Take a few warps away from expedition route, then grab a black hole

[bleak turret]

i have my own ship

so it should be easier

[sharp basin]

be sure to use your freighter to explore as far away from the main path to galaxy center as possible.

[bleak turret]

wait, i need to use freighter?

[remote thunder]

No

[sharp basin]

need..No.. distance gains..perhaps yes

[remote thunder]

I'd remind that galaxy map goes up/down/left/right

[sharp basin]

i use my freighter because of the auto discovery device you can place on board to discover all planets in a quick second

[bleak turret]

yeah but my expedition freighter doesnt have as big range as my ship

[sharp basin]

time to farm a few derelict freighters for upgrade modules then

[remote thunder]

(Also, To be clear, only system discovery is needed, not the planets)

[bleak turret]

why would i do that on expedition when i have my own ship with big range

your tips dont seem too usefull

[sharp basin]

just offering alternatives.. you do you

[remote thunder]

Easy

[bleak turret]

you sounding like i need to use freighter for jumping

and giving extra work

when i said i already have my own ship

[remote thunder]

i think that if it's solely about a few warps, a few s-class ship hyperdrive modules will do just fine. true enough, freighter warping does have a few advantages, but i think they meant it more like an alternative but didn't come out right at first

let's chill 🙂

[bleak turret]

also how do i know if a system was already visited?

[tiny gale]

i love the distance a freighter can go compared to a reg ship

[remote thunder]

warp to any system, if you can then also do red/green/blue stars, if milestone hints counts it, you discovered a system (welcome UI says "first contact")

[bleak turret]

i mean, before jumping in

[remote thunder]

nope

[bleak turret]

also

i might bring this to my main save

will save on a lot of salvaged modules

[tiny gale]

Of its already on our exosuit when we start, why do we have to buy it

[bleak turret]

thats to craft another one

(you dont need to craft another one)

but if you want mk2 then yeah

[tiny gale]

thats sstupid

[bleak turret]

thats why i brink mk2 with me at the start

[bleak turret]

but its quite cheap

farm a few runaway mold, process them to nanites

and you get it fast

[tiny gale]

that wasnt the problem, if it was given to us it should have been free alrady

just saying

[bleak turret]

they give mk1

[tiny gale]

if you start a new character for expedition

[bleak turret]

then just farm the nanites

run !faq-nanites in #bot-spam

[tiny gale]

i already did, jsut thought it was stupid to have to buy it when we already have it

[bleak turret]

yeah

it is what it is

[bleak turret]

done

[remote thunder]

congrats 🙂

it is done

[tender stone]

Wow

I just found a natural S class sentinel pistol lol

[wanton frigate]

Glyphs or it didnt happen 😉

[tender stone]

Oh im in the wrong chat, I thought this was gen chat

gimme a sec tho

+33.21 +18.27

[bleak turret]

whats their disposition?

[tender stone]

?

[bleak turret]

the sc slots

[tender stone]

oh actually kinda alright

I can only see 3 tho

[bleak turret]

also, i think #nms-multitools is the right channell too

[bleak turret]

you can see 4

[tender stone]

Yeah I was gonna bring it up in gen chat and realized that Im in the wrong one

oh yeah ur right

I missed that one

[tender stone]

this is kinda nice actually lmao

ill post it there ig

[lilac heart]

if it's for expedition and you already have it you prob don;t have to buy it again

[smoky wolf]

not sure if im missing something but the last part of the expidition we need to deploy the myth beacon and i have been to a few dozen of those echos and nothing happening. any tips?

[barren quartz]

Guys any tips of doing the discover systems challenge?

[smoky wolf]

i jsut warped really far off the main path and once i hit one "first discovered" explored everysystem around that one.

[barren quartz]

Cause I think I jumped like couple 20 systems and only progressed 3 for the quest

[tiny gale]

disconnect your internet

[remote thunder]

select echo through the ages milestone, unpause, follow hint lower right of the hud (force cycle hints by pressing H or dpad left). there will be a different building to go to, stand next to, and activate myth beacon.

[barren quartz]

Ok

[tiny gale]

when you do that discovery services wont be on, so it will be first encounters for you until you plug net back in

[remote thunder]

@smoky wolf echo through the ages should be selected - then yeah, check the hint

[bleak turret]

🫡

[barren quartz]

Oh nice, I didn't know it

[tiny gale]

credit goes to @remote thunder he is the one who told me how to do it

[bleak turret]

🫡

see you all next expedition

[tiny gale]

possibly, maybe

[barren quartz]

Nice, thanks anyway man

[smoky wolf]

i ahve stood next to a few dozen of those things and ntohing is happening for me

[remote thunder]

disable multiplayer, save+reload from main menu, try again

[tiny gale]

might need to disconnect from discovery services/net too, thats what worked for me and several others

[remote thunder]

i was connected, had mp disabled, didn't have a problem

[smoky wolf]

disabling multiplayer and reconnecting worked for me

[white perch]

I caught 4 uncommon rare fish and it didn’t go towards my count wtf?

I made sure I had inventory and it’s the same icy world I caught two others

[remote thunder]

Use rarity bait e.g. Mealworms, Only fish with rarity=uncommon or higher with ''frozen waters'' in description count, see example image :externallink:.

https://imgur.com/rslXVI4

"found in icy and frozen waters", not just "all across the galaxy"

[white perch]

I caught two with mealworms in the water

I’m in the same place

[remote thunder]

can't just be uncommon

has to be uncommon (or rarer) AND say in description "Icy/frozen waters"

[white perch]

Ah

I think when I caught my others it was during the storm

Bk you are my good luck charm. Two of those isopods in a row

[remote thunder]

yay! 🥳

i got lucky too

got 4 out of 7 tries - felt awesome haha

[fringe sierra]

Wife used the rancid meat caught em like it was nothing

[smoky wolf]

is the SRV one oh those ships you can claim on any save or is it not a :reward: in the normal sense

[fringe sierra]

U can claim on any save u have a freighter on I believe. I don't have a freighter on my main save yet (made a new one) so I hadn't tried claiming it

[remote thunder]

is the SRV one oh those ships you can claim on any save
it is, yes

must own a freighter already ofc, but yes

like Gatekeeper said

[smoky wolf]

ill keep looking then. i got one thing left in phase 3 then this expidition is fully finished

[fringe sierra]

What u looking for

[balmy void]

I'm confused. I've warped to well over 8 systems and the "Uncharted" mission still says 0/8.

Does it want me to warp with my freighter?

[muted granite]

They’ve got to be unvisited systems, the entrance page will say “first contact” rather than “Discovered by JoeSchmo”

[balmy void]

ah okay

[magic portal]

For echo through the ages mission, do I just follow the green line? It's the myth beacon track the renegade echo one

[remote thunder]

just follow the galaxy map line yep,

[balmy void]

Why is it suddenly so hard to find uncharted systems. Usually you see a few without trying too hard.

[fringe sierra]

Cause everyone's in that area. I played the first run on switch so it wasn't too difficult

[red peak]

How much more time is in the expedition?

[cold tulip]

!exptime

[fringe sierra]

More then enough time to do 2 more speed runs

[magic portal]

I got to the end of the green line and now I see an orange line

Should this be the right system?

[exotic timber]

Make sure the expedition milestone is selected in the quest log and the galaxy map filter is on “current mission”

[remote thunder]

you're looking at a mission icon like this, not far off from where you selected the milestone the first time

[magic portal]

I scanned on the planet with my myth beacon, followed the atlas icon, scanned again and now I don't see any atlas icon

[fringe sierra]

Targeted visor used?

[magic portal]

Says service unavailable, do I have to be in my ship to do this?

[fringe sierra]

No

[magic portal]

It says destination reached, I don't get it

[remote thunder]

what do you see

[fringe sierra]

Ur looking for a big circle thing on like a metal foot. Idk how to best describe it

[magic portal]

Not much really just nature

[faint compass]

Do expeditions repeat themselves or?

[fringe sierra]

Yea

[faint compass]

Okay good.

[fringe sierra]

This one is a rerun

[remote thunder]

did you goto the marker you were supposed to go to?

[faint compass]

Cuz I want that expedition 16 ship or whatever.

[magic portal]

Ya

[fringe sierra]

Well I imagine as that one ended 6 days ago it'll be awhile

[remote thunder]

disable multiplayer in network settings, save+reload from main menu -

[faint compass]

How long do expeditions last?

[remote thunder]

depends

[magic portal]

Oh why?

[remote thunder]

exp16 lasted only for 2 weeks

[magic portal]

But yeah I'm playing with brother

[fringe sierra]

This rerun is 2 weeks

[remote thunder]

because you should be standing next to a building that you were guided to using target sweep

[remote thunder]

target sweep fails in a group

[magic portal]

Oh yeah I can see it

[faint compass]

So i completely missed exp16… Dang.

[fringe sierra]

Yea by about a week ish

[faint compass]

Do we have any idea on the next one?

[fringe sierra]

Bk has a theory iirc

[remote thunder]

me? probably confusing me with someone else 😄

i have no idea what the next expedition is or when

[faint compass]

What’s your theory? Huh? WHAT IS THE THEORY!?!?!?

[remote thunder]

lol

i've been surprised by HG more than once

[fringe sierra]

Wait do u ACTUALLY know

[faint compass]

Pretend I’m shaking you fiercely.

[remote thunder]

i am shaking

[fringe sierra]

Lol ok but wasn't it u though who made a comment about the next 2 week dead time and one they may re run

[faint compass]

Good good. lol jk. Though I’m piss I missed 16

That ship looked so freakin cool.

[fringe sierra]

Lol I did exp 16 4x

[faint compass]

So when we complete the expedition how does one gain the rewards?

[fringe sierra]

Wifes pc and switch. My pc and switch

[fringe sierra]

Qs wall-e robot dude in space anomoly

[faint compass]

I’ve completed zero expeditions. I didn’t even know it was a thing.

[fringe sierra]

I'm a legacy player I took a brake before they were a thing and only joined back on exp 16 cause of the eldritch horror mask I got

[faint compass]

So I just return back to main save then collect a reward?

[fringe sierra]

Yup

Once per any game save connect to ur game profile

[faint compass]

Okay. I’ll be getting on after work. lol after complaining about how stupid the fish challenge is I caught 5 rare ice fish back to back. 🤣

Is there anyways to complete the freighters expedition fast? I dont want to wait for 20+ minutes.

Waiting for them to complete.

[tiny gale]

start them, then turn around and abort

[worn ingot]

so I don't understand this fish challenge
I'm on a frozen world, and i just caught two fish it said were uncommon

and my count is still at 0/5

[fringe sierra]

Uncommon

ANNND

Found in icy frozen waters.

Not across multiple habitats

[remote thunder]

has to be uncommon (or rarer) AND say in description "Icy/frozen waters" https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/aBb6ZJZou3jC9wEWqUYwrec_xn03uUlC_q2KEce8wvE/https/i.imgur.com/rslXVI4.png?format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1156&height=650

[fringe sierra]

This message

Ooooo I'm orange now

I think its orange I'm color blind

[worn ingot]

so only certain waters on a frozen planet are icy?

[fringe sierra]

No

[worn ingot]

ok so any of them are, just not all fish have that description

[fringe sierra]

U have to fish u till u find the right fish.

Storm conditions worked.

Better bait helps

My wife used rancid meat and caught em like nothing were as I spent 30 plus min getting 2

[frank vale]

When did the expedition start?

[remote thunder]

last week

[fringe sierra]

6 days ago

[frank vale]

Ahhhh okay so it’s a short one

[fringe sierra]

I guess so lol idk last was 2 weeks too and before that it's been a hot minute since I played

[worn ingot]

in this game, do fleet expeditions happen in real time like skills in EVE Online? or do they have to be done while you're in game

[remote thunder]

in this game, do fleet expeditions happen in real time
yes

Phase 3: Called by the Stars: 1) Send frigate on expedition, 2) interact with Fleet Command Room, 3) Abort Expedition, 4) interact again and Debrief Captain/End Expedition, repeat process.

[worn ingot]

also i've warped to 2 systems so far. At what point will I know I've gone far enough to reach the 1st rendevous? And can i warp too far and miss i

[remote thunder]

if you look at the expedition route destination in the galaxy map, with rdv1 milestone selected, it would be the first one one the list

[magic portal]

just curious, what does rdv1 mean?

finished the expedition, so happy

[fringe sierra]

Rendezvous

I think is how it's spelled.

But a synonym phrase is meeting place

[magic portal]

oh ok

[bright moth]

Why did they make the rendezvous points portals if they don't give us glyphs to use them? Lol

[frank bloom]

Wait until you have to discover 8 systems

[bright moth]

It's a struggle already

[stray needle]

for the discover systems you can turn off your internet

[frank bloom]

Mine is off and it’s registering other discoveries

[bright moth]

I didn't think nms could even run offline

[fringe sierra]

O yea

Lol I play on switch offline nearly 24/7

And on pc it's just a simple network setting

[bright moth]

Oh wow 😮

[fringe sierra]

It was originally not even mp when it first came out.... I remember the days

[frank bloom]

The days when your save was deleted if you played

Or you’d get serious lag

[worn ingot]

so what do I need to do to get the Historical Dosimeter? It says Tier 1 research complete. It says "Complete milestones in expedition tab" to acquire it,and i've completed several milestones already. And there's no count for how manymore I need to do.

[frank bloom]

Did you reach r5?

[fringe sierra]

U get it by completing the fifth rdv point

[worn ingot]

ok so i gotta complete the whole expedition then

[fringe sierra]

It's literally the reward for the milestone

Naw just all first 4 phases I think

Then start phase 5 and u get it practically

[worn ingot]

hm ok. Just a little out of order to see it in the Log right now even tho i didn't pin it

[wanton raft]

Anything new with the Normany expedition (can't remember the number: maybe #1)?

[faint compass]

Umm fastest way to chart waypoints?

[frank bloom]

Man I dislike people who build bases right on top of the r points

Can’t even report the base

Isn’t that just lovely

[wanton raft]

Especially in expeditions. You can report the base and it will wipe ot for you.

[frank bloom]

Can’t

The computer is inside

[wanton raft]

I thought you could report the base even if you can't get to the computer. I may be imagining that though.

[frank bloom]

They glitch built it

[wanton raft]

Can't you bring out the report base thing from the settings menu?

[frank bloom]

Ahhhh yes you can

[meager scroll]

Quick menu - report base

[wanton raft]

Yeah, that menu

[meager scroll]

Need to be in base radius

[wanton raft]

Good, I'm not delusional (about that anyway).

[frank bloom]

I find it really hard to believe all of the systems in a 2000LY radius are discovered already

[wintry void]

Not really, say 1,000 people have done the expedition, and all need 8, thats 8000 systems

Just get 2000ly away, find a blackhole and go through it

[faint compass]

Should I wait till I hit the last Rez before going off to find 8 undiscovered systems?

[misty plinth]

You can decide to jump whenever is convenient.

There is no should when it comes to that task.

[indigo falcon]

go to polo at the anomaly, get black hole coords. go through. max warp jump a couple times. go to polo again, go through another blck hole, max jump a couple more times. that ought to be enough to get you to an area with a bunch of undiscovered stuff

anyone trying the above should make sure they visit the space station in their current expd system before setting off, so they can get back easily

[frank bloom]

Thank you!

[faint compass]

Umm I have no idea how to get a Myth Beacon.

It looks like i completed the Anomalous but when I try to talk to polo all I get is Atlas and black hole coords

Nvm.

I be dumb sometimes

[finite rover]

the find 8 unfound systems quest is... silly to put it politely.

[marsh charm]

Wtf? I got in but now I cant leave?

[lucid obsidian]

It might be some glitch, but I have had some already discovered systems count towards this quest

[teal fable]

Whats the grand prize of this expedition?

Thinking about comin back to play

[marsh charm]

I reported this

[lucid obsidian]

When I warped into them (in freighter) the interface said they are undiscovered, but from inside the system they were already marked as one (several days back)

[teal fable]

Again?

[rocky fern]

I mean, it's been years.

[teal fable]

Didnt they give it on another expedition already

[rocky fern]

Yeah. I never finished the Expedition the first time, so I'm glad for another chance at it.

[finite scaffold]

I did it from a new save and my main save. So 16 from me alone and I imagine more people did it twice also

[gloomy carbon]

oh shoot i had no idea they were doing a rerun

i gotta get this quick

[rocky fern]

So, um...

[marsh charm]

You can report the base and it vanishes

[rocky fern]

You have to report it at the Base Computer though, right?

I think it's... inside there.

And I can't find one anywhere in the area outside. 🖥️

[wintry void]

Quick menu

Wish they could have a no build zone around expedition stuff to stop this kind of thing, surely cant be hard to implement

[feral scaffold]

I don't know why Hello Games don't just add a perimeter around milestone points to stop people building there. For me, reaching the final quest point was completely ruined by all the messages left at the portal and all the janky built models left around there. It looked a mess and I kept having messages pop up

[feral scaffold]

Yeah same

I mean I'm old and grumpy about this kind of thing anyway but good to know I'm not the only one

[wintry void]

Weirdly I've seen very few messages

[rocky fern]

oh, there usually is a barrier!

[feral scaffold]

The cursed expedition was the worst

[rocky fern]

but people are finding ways to claim the area way above it & stuff

[feral scaffold]

I kept just getting constant 'Trump 2024' messages around the message

Not all of us care about American politics while we're floating around in space

[marsh charm]

The NNS: Chelada following the Normandy, my expidition is fully complete, anyone know what or when the next one starts?

[indigo falcon]

and even those who do should not need to see campaign crap in these games

[marsh charm]

couldnt agree more

[warm gyro]

Old and grumpy? I`m a tad past 75 yo lol

Election is over.

Night kids lol Cheers

[indigo falcon]

nice to see an elder in here, rest well!

[alpine topaz]

how do you guys use a portal to go to a random location?

when i was at the portal, i have no glyphs

[misty plinth]

Need to discover them as you do the expedition then once you have as many as you want find and go to a portal

[alpine topaz]

oh okay

i wont do that method then lol

[misty plinth]

Just key them in randomly

[alpine topaz]

i couldnt get in the glyphs since the grey icons were all empty

[misty plinth]

You can't input any glyph symbols until after you learn them

[indigo falcon]

black hole coords from polo and jump as fas as possible a couple tmies in random directions once you go through it, that's the best way to get to undiscovered areas w/o portal glyphs

[alpine topaz]

got it

okay ill try

[mint coyote]

did the cursed expedition already end? only 3 weeks?

The Myth Beacon:
Do I need to be anywhere specific as I deploy it?
Currently on the Anomaly.

[urban compass]

no it said theres location u need to get there to use beacon

if u dont see anythig like dat then ur on right place

[steep shale]

I don't understand this.

[urban compass]

uhh im sry i suck at explaining

damn no sad emote

just this will do

[steep shale]

I got it figured.
Using the Myth Beacon reveals a destination within the Galaxy Map.

[urban compass]

oh dats weird i used dat and lead me to 300 meter away from same planet

have fun i guess

[steep shale]

Still brings me to this.

theres quick menu could report to poof dat base

Helllo is the last part of the expedition mission bugged? one of them asks me to do some research for the anomaly guys but it says its already done too. when i go to them theres nothing to talk with them related to the mission

[steep shale]

Have you been to 3 ancient locations & used the Myth Beacon?

@torn blaze

[torn blaze]

yes that was for the previous part

i have one mission telling me to go back the anomaly then that

[faint compass]

I don’t know if you’re still stuck, but go to the quicksilver merchant dude, shift tabs and try to find it there.

[rocky fern]

Go to the “Craft exotic items from Quicksilver” option

It’s in there somewhere.

[faint compass]

^^^

[torn blaze]

it was sending me to speak with Nada and Polo dunno if their names in english are the same

ok yea i was missreading as allways, found the thing

[steep shale]

For me, activating the thing put a marker in the Galaxy Map.

[torn blaze]

yea it was the craft exotics thing where i was stuck... i was going staright to polo cause it said that he created something

[steep shale]

Ssme.

[torn blaze]

it was 2am tomorrow when i was doing it so i prolly missread it 😂

[dusty elm]

Hi, in the expedition I want to upgrade my freighters warp drive. Under base parts and upgrades which one of these do I need or do I need all just to warp. I see warp shielding ,warp injector ,chromatic warp Shield

[torn blaze]

anyways ill be able to finish it later today

[steep shale]

Check your inventory.
I believe it was a module you received.

[dusty elm]

I haven't finished Phase 5 yet could it possibly be there. I've been able to warp with it but not for an extended warps like further out

[steep shale]

Not sure.
I think it was within 3 or 4.
Reviewing the Phases will show.

[lusty slate]

You can use your ship to warp, if it goes farther. Freighter warp is only required for that first jump.

[steep shale]

Do the given ships have a hyper-drive?

Last expo they didn't so I assumed there wasn't.

[wintry void]

any1 got coordinates for final RV on final Planet before you pick up the Normandy, Been in touch with HG about this base but they need the name of it to perminantly delete it

[indigo folio]

You can still reach it by pressing against one of the walls, but yeah, whoever put that there is a jarkface. Also, I SWEAR that Uncharted hates me.

[bold cairn]

I'm at the second rendezvous point, and when I try to use the portal, it asks for a planet code. Am I not supposed to go through the portal? Am I supposed to just continue warping to the next point?

[indigo folio]

You never have to use portals, just keep warping to the next point.

[bold cairn]

Awesome, thanks @indigo folio

[wintry void]

Yer I just made a suggestion on Zendesk about maybe in future putting a 2k no build bubble around expedition objectives, cause people build grief bases like this. They replied asking for name of base to perminantly delete it, but it wasnt me who took photo and Ive completed all but freighter expedition objectives on this save, so I cant get coordinates of last RV on final planet to find out the name of the base

[faint compass]

How pathetic can this community be…?

[wintry void]

whats coordinates and planet grimm?

just post a visor view with coodinates on, or tell me base name

[indigo folio]

I wish I recorded the base name when I was there...

[faint compass]

No base name I don’t think, but this is ridiculous

[faint compass]

It’s on uda minor

[wintry void]

thanks

[feral scaffold]

And this is why we can't have nice things

[faint compass]

How do I do this?

“I miss all the com ballz” bro you don’t have balls if you gotta troll on a PvE game…

[wintry void]

I cant even land near it to see what name it is

[steep shale]

I had found an opening on one of the broadsides.
Plus it was slow to render on my PS, so I just jumped the short wall that was there before it fully resolved.

[feral scaffold]

I've just gone to those coordinates and got inside the box before it spawned in I think

Eitehrway I'm inside it

[wintry void]

well for me there are 20+ bases here, im assuming the base computer is inside

[feral scaffold]

It keeps opening up ands closing though

[dusty elm]

I really wanted to keep jumping and exploring, love doing that. Going to turn freighter into my home base and not build on planets in this expedition.

[feral scaffold]

I'm at that location now Are you able to get in?

There's huge sides of it missing

This is the computer I found inside but then it disappeared

Maybe Hello Games are fixing it as we speak?

[faint compass]

Probably I already got it.

[ocean gorge]

They should’ve done this a long time ago tbh

[feral scaffold]

This base is here now

[ocean gorge]

Usually in areas like that if you go to quick menu like to report, there’s like 5 bases that show up

[wintry void]

Yer i reported it safe landing pad by Whisky

[ocean gorge]

Even if people choose to make a base in expedition areas like these, they should just choose to NOT UPLOAD THEM

[feral scaffold]

I don't know, It's quite nice to see what insightful things other mature gamers can say to one another...

[steep shale]

I'd argue that comm bombs are a pointless mechanic to begin with. Especially when they're being abused.

[teal socket]

I've never found anything insightful from the comm bombs and glad they got rid of them

they were literal walls of word vomit

[faint compass]

Well I did it. My first expedition. Dropping off my loot and going back home.

Killed 1 sent got 500 nanites. Let’s go lol 😂

[steep shale]

I'm just here for the Normandy.
(Honestly thought it'd be a ship. Not a freighter)

||I'm new. Leave me alone||

[wraith venture]

frigate*

and i'm glad you're able to get it this round

[primal smelt]

yeah, currenlty also at this dead-end. Wall hugging doesnt seem to work, hope HG can delete this quick, I dont have a lot of time to play and this is ruining it for me... Can I maybe launch with multiplayer disabled to remove this base?

[faint compass]

So just place down the myth beacon. You don’t have to place it right on the point.

[wintry void]

Try Reporting base by Whiskey "Safe Landing Pad" via quick menu

Or if you can use cursor to find base computer name, and report that base if it is not the same one

[ocean gorge]

Playing the expedition with multiplayer off is really the best way imo

But that alone doesn’t disable the bases. If you find a problematic one, you’ll still have to use the quick menu to report them

[thick umbra]

what about playing offline ?

[iron cedar]

That’s the kind of message that really drives home the immersion when you’ve just invested a load of time getting to a significant part of the expedition.

[worn ingot]

So I'm at the milestone to map 8 new systems. I went to one with my freighter but nothing seems to have happened

1. The instructions seem to say I need to warp to new systems with my starfighter and not the freighter. The default Starfighter i was given doesn't have a hyperdrive.
2. Do I need to warp to completely new systems that no one has been to previously to get credit for the milestone? All 8 of them?

[marsh charm]

2 yes

[tiny gale]

turn off discovery services/disconnect internet, and warp to 8 other planets to do this

[marsh charm]

I had to go 2-3k ly for all mine

[tiny gale]

turning off net worked for alot of other people, go it done in 8 jumps, nearest systems

[remote thunder]

that's always going to work for everyone

because that server is literally what stores and serves discovery data, uploaded bases - for everyone

you disable or block that connection, it can't use anything else other than the data the game has access to, locally

if it cant possibly know whether another player discovered something or not, the milestone has to accept every warp as valid

even ones to rendezvous systems - lol - that you haven't been to before that point

[worn ingot]

Is there a way to plot your course through the warps in the galaxy map? Kind of easy to get lost and forget where you were

[remote thunder]

travel relevant to either galactic core or expedition route pathlines

[worn ingot]

When should I turn the network back on to get credit for the milestone

[remote thunder]

i'd recommend going up/down/left/right, not coreward or away from core

[remote thunder]

can do it at any time after getting the Uncharted milestone completed

complete it, claim it, internet back on

[haughty atlas]

I'm bringing back these things, I wanna bring back every special collectible/rare item. Am I missing anything??

[grim viper]

You can get both in main save

1 from rewards

One for 80 quicksilver

[true junco]

im trying to complete the interstellar rescue mission but anytime i use the distress signal nothing happens at all, i tried like 20 distress signals with the milestone selected and it never does anything, anybody know how to fix this or what to do?

[grim viper]

Tlaking about the first 2 and 3 in 2nd row

[shy geyser]

get the emergency signal chart fro the station, thats what i did

[true junco]

ill try that, this has been annoying me for so many hours now

[shy geyser]

Does anyone know a good way to find a portion of unexp[lored space? i burned 3 full tanks of freither warp fuel, and EVERYTHIG has ben discovered already 😦

[true junco]

i read somewhere to just go into offline mode, like on steam go offline mode or something like that

[cold tulip]

Get an indium drive, then try blue stars

[wanton frigate]

Black holes are revelations 😉

[shy geyser]

shhhit i havent come across any of the red or the blue metal to upgrade the drives 😦

[true junco]

okay problem with this is, i've used the emergency signal chart and thats the chart where it does nothing lol

this is so weird

[cold tulip]

You only need copper for the first one

[shy geyser]

Is there a ez way to find one? the guy on the station hasnt pointed me to one in this playthrough yet?

[cold tulip]

Then the rest on red/green stars

[wanton frigate]

Ask Polo

[true junco]

i really dont understand this, is my save file bugged? if i unselect the interstellar rescue mission, the emergency chart works and finds stuff, but with the mission selected it does nothing and eat through the charts anyway

[full sun]

But a few good hyperdrive upgrades and you’ll be able to get out to an unexplored area of space in a couple of jumps

[shy geyser]

try jumping to a fresh system and start by using the chart

[true junco]

oh ive already done that

ive jumped like 5 systems and tried in every single one

[shy geyser]

standing on planet right, i donthtink they work from the ship

[true junco]

i tried both

[shy geyser]

hmm, buummer dude, idk what to say at that point.

[true junco]

from any planet, from any ship, from any space station, IF the mission is selected, it literally does nothing

yea it sucks honestly

[wintry void]

what do you mean it does nothing? Find a crash site with a pilot there, talk to pilot, then click on ships, give items to ship then click on pilot

[full sun]

You can also try getting the Minotaur radar and have it search for it

[shy geyser]

did you try the signal booster and using the "quantum booster battery:" or whatever it was they gave you?

[true junco]

its not giving me a distress signal, thats what i mean by it does nothing

[wintry void]

Use the emergency charts from reward

[true junco]

well i got lucky rn

i unselected the mission and just spammed the emergency charts until it found distress signals

and this one actually has a living guy here

all the ones that i did before didnt have pilots

but its weird that it wasnt working for me with the mission selected

[shy geyser]

sounds like you had some kind of a glitch, glad you got it resolved

[haughty atlas]

I had to go more than 2000 units of distance. But i had a starship that could travel 1000 in a single warp. You could also find a black hole and get a random location.

[true junco]

yea idk how it got glitched, atleast its finally going to be done

[full sun]

Not that uncommon. I found about 6 unattended crashed ships before I found one with a pilot

Seems to work the other way for me when I’m looking for ships to claim lol

[white perch]

im sorry if this has been said, but is there a way to soft reset for getting the correct ancient ruin?

[wise meteor]

Im not aware of one but an easier way for you may to be to check the other peoples bases at a space station teleport terminal. Some bases are right next to ruins. That is how I did it

[wintry void]

Just use alien charts from cartographer

[white perch]

I just used a bunch of navigational data and didnt get the correct one, so yeah, lol

[white perch]

thanks

[wise meteor]

Some nice people even make the ruin visible in the base screenshot 🙂

[wintry void]

You need 4 anyway, 3 others for last phase

[worn ingot]

so all I have to do for the milestone to map 8 new systems, is disable multiplayer? Or do I have to do something else too

[white perch]

You have to disable the internet access to your system

very easy in system settings

In order for me to see other peoples bases at the space station do i have to have plus?

I have multiplayer activated, but i dont see other peoples bases, just mine

is this only through atlas?

[remote thunder]

@worn ingot start reading from here ^

[worn ingot]

I did
So that means I have to disconnect internet completely i guess?

[white perch]

yes

[remote thunder]

pause/Discoveries tab, lower right: the connection to Online discovery services is what gives your game the ability to see and download uploaded player bases and discoveries

[white perch]

just switch it off under system settings, do a lil jumpy jump to non identified systems

then you can switch it back on

[steep shale]

Oh, sure!
Nowwww this gets stated!
(30 minutes of jumping around wasted)

[remote thunder]

get the 8 discoveries, then turning back on

[white perch]

my discoveries online services have been activated bk

oh i had multiplayer deactivated

[remote thunder]

that doesn't matter for ODS

multiplayer and ODS are two diff connections

we have the ability to turn multiplayer matchmaking on and off

but not to disable the connection to ODS

thus being forced to cut the wire/firewall block

[bright moth]

I finally got lucky after jumping through 4 black holes so it's not as horribly impossible as it seems lol just checked out neighboring systems around the last one, gotta watch out for random pirate battles sometimes though

[remote thunder]

this has been observed behavior in some expeditions: freighter rescue battles triggering every 3 ship warps

everyone, remember to

anything just ask

[tiny gale]

just loved when you warp to a base and its not there at all

[white perch]

I've already done this, but is the rondevous points completly random or fixed?

I just found all insanely close to each other

i thought it would be more of a challenge

[lost heart]

I guess I was lucky… a did a few hops from the exp area and managed to find my 8

[tiny gale]

remember, this is a rerun of the 2nd expedition, im sure they got harder as they went on

[remote thunder]

fixed for all players

[white perch]

I wanan buy navi data Q_Q

[remote thunder]

2w for completion, can't really expect players to travel thousands of LY to reach next system, plus, galaxy map doesn't lend itself well to long distance tracking of objectives

[white perch]

it def is a great way to experience the mechanics of the game. I didn't try fishing yet, and I enjoyed it a bit

[feral scaffold]

Either

Both works afaik

The Normandy was added to my fleet in both my main save and my exp save in my experience

[indigo falcon]

if your expedition save was started from your main save, then only the main save normandy will be permanent

but while you are playing the expd, if you want it on your fleet to send it on expeditions, sure, why not

the game is going to make sure you can get it 🙂

[steep shale]

Agreed.
I had yet to muck about with freighters.

[white perch]

They are a good tool to have def

[muted granite]

Hey @remote thunder - your instructions worked like a charm, thank you 🙏 Got all the stuff I wanted over to my main save.

[white perch]

this navigtational thing is killing me

[wintry void]

navigational thing?

[white perch]

getting navi data, but found a farming trick i still hope works

[wintry void]

oh i just scan for poi on planet whilst flying low on ground and use the save posts, there are also the yellow boxes that can be found on stations randomly

[little torrent]

You can farm Nav Data by just flying around & hitting 'Scan' every few seconds.

[wintry void]

The poi thing is an objective anyway

[white perch]

will it actually say navigational data when you hit the scan button?

[wintry void]

you get it from the save point of a poi

[little torrent]

When flying around, scanning will reveal a waypoint on occasion.

But only when you're near the ground, not high up.

When a scan reveals a waypoint, simply land at it.

With this info in mind, getting that milestone becomes very easy.

[opaque hinge]

Where do I get the fishing rod?

[ocean gorge]

Milestone: The Pilgrim

All you gotta do is walk some

[opaque hinge]

I finished The Pilgrim but don’t see it just two lures

[ocean gorge]

You installed the prepackaged tech on the Multitool?

[opaque hinge]

Not sure let me check

[ocean gorge]

Oh wait it might not be prepackaged, you may have to build it this expedition

(Sorry, sometimes they give it to you prepackaged)

[opaque hinge]

Yea okay thank you I need to install thank you

[white perch]

Just did the barrel Fabricator trick and got some navigational data 🙂

[worn ingot]

so I took historiographical readings. Where do I submit them? Aboard the Anomaly? I summoned it

[white perch]

a freigther just crashed into my ship causing me to be stuck and instantly killed me Q_Q

lost all my cargo on my ship

😦

[cold tulip]

Dont remember having to submit anything. Get all 3 and check what the mission log says

[worn ingot]

well it took me leaving to look at another acient artifact site (4 total) but now it says to go to the anomaly to get the next milestone

well i still can't get it from the quicksilver synthesis companion

i've been submitting historiographical data

do I need to just submit the maps I purchase, instead of using them to find ancient sites?

[woeful bolt]

#nms-expedition message

[worn ingot]

ok so it is not a reward, it is purchased

[cunning lagoon]

ok I NEED this on my main save

[worn ingot]

yeah i brought back tons of exosuit movement stuff from the last expedition lol

rocket boots are a godsend

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo why can't i land anywhere on this planet to deploy the beacon and look for the echo?

is it because it's a capped planet or what

[sleek viper]

For the expedition, im strugglign with finding where to deploy the myth beacon

every time i do it in space it does nothing ,and when i check my galaxy map it just keeps having me warp endlessly

[woeful bolt]

It'd be cool if you could eject from your ship or do a freefall from your freighter in orbit

[sleek viper]

nvm, found it. warped back to 4th rendevouz and checked there

[late kiln]

I'm actually fuming. Some asshole has blocked off the target for the final part of the expedition.

[worn ingot]

i heard someone did previously but like, I was able to stand right behind it just now and activate the beacon

[woeful bolt]

You should be able to report it

[late kiln]

Yeah, I just realised that you can still activate the beacon

[worn ingot]

So i've finished the expedition. In my main save I dont have a freighter yet.
*How will I keep the Normandy, and the other ship that is apart of my fleet on this expedition, once I go to my main save?
*Can I copy the freighter I'm in now to my main save?

[woeful bolt]

Normandy is a frigate, not a freighter.

If it's like other expedition goodies you should be able to get to it from the quicksilver shop on the Anomaly.

[remote thunder]

cant claim normandy before owning a freighter, but it will be there permanently

[worn ingot]

yes but how do I keep it? Will it stay in my fleet even if I don't have a freighter yet

[woeful bolt]

If you don't have a freighter how can you have a fleet?

I don't understand the question, sorry.

[remote thunder]

once you complete exp and unlock it acct wide, you'll just go to any save's quicksilver shop/collect expedition rewards and claim it - granted, save needs to have a freighter

[worn ingot]

because i was given a freighter inside the expedition

[remote thunder]

different saves

wont merge freighter owned in expedition back to primary

you'll just claim it when you can basically

[worn ingot]

ok so since I don't have a freighter in my other save, will the normandy wait in my fleet until I own a freighter then

[faint compass]

Yeah I landed on a landing pad and I just run around finding it.

[slender portal]

Any suggestions for discovering uncharted star systems for expo everywhere I go is discovered

[worn ingot]

yeah there were plenty of pads to land on
Just wierd i couldn't land anywhere else

[remote thunder]

once unlocked account wide, it's unlocked permanently - but you can only claim it from the quicksilver shop after the save you want to claim it in has a freighter

[worn ingot]

turn off internet while you do

[woeful bolt]

black hole time!

[remote thunder]

see <#nms-expedition message>, scroll down

[woeful bolt]

exploring is one of my favorite parts of this game

I love jumping black holes and seeing how far away I can get

[faint compass]

Had the same issue.

[worn ingot]

ok
And the other ship that came with my fleet in this expedition, is gone and won't come back when I end it. Even if I get a freighter later in my main save?

[woeful bolt]

You can only transfer expedition rewards between saves afaik

Or rather, redeem them in all saves.

[faint compass]

lol I just spent two hrs getting all the hyper engines and just went to those. 😅

[woeful bolt]

black holes are fun to fly through

[remote thunder]

freighter, frigates - none of that transfers over to primary save. no way to copy them via expedition terminus either

[woeful bolt]

crank the dubstep

[worn ingot]

alr

[remote thunder]

don't worry, frigates, freighter - all that will come soon enough in your primary save

[white perch]

I was buying the wrong kind of chart

So help me god 😂

[remote thunder]

need alien, not dig site

[white perch]

I’m stupid

I bought digs

[remote thunder]

nah, just reading too fast

[white perch]

So many

[woeful bolt]

you can still profit

[remote thunder]

can you still reload to before buying them?

[white perch]

I bought about 50 of em 😂

[woeful bolt]

lessons from the Gek

[remote thunder]

you only need 4 alien charts

[white perch]

No this was already used 😂

I was on it for about two days 😂

Live and learn moments

[remote thunder]

1 plaque for nameless history, another 3 for hist lesson from phase 5 (any of the poi alien chart can mark will work for this milestone)

[sleek viper]

is there any way to make frigate missions faster? or am i SOL and just gotta wait

finished all other tasks but this, and have 2hrs left on my final one

[remote thunder]

Sometimes I think I’m too rich for this games good…

Like that artifact that sells for a mil was like dropping a penny in a bank vault 😅🤣

[solid slate]

This seems impossible to find an unexplored system

[worn ingot]

should I keep the Dosimeter or get rid of it? Will it be of any use in the main save

[remote thunder]

Will it be of any use in the main save
nope

[worn ingot]

the game will accept any system as unexplored if you turn your connection off while you do it

[remote thunder]

alternatively, check this pinned post <#nms-expedition message>

[faint compass]

Hit those other system hyper engines. You have like 4 days i grind for 2 hours to get all three or four.

[remote thunder]

easily get cadmium for an emeril drive by buying+installing+dismantling c-class ship weapon positron ejector/infra knife modules

[white perch]

Thanks for whomever told me alien

[faint compass]

Green and blue systems are mostly untouched. Red and yellow are mostly explored.

[white perch]

I’m getting this all done now 🙂

Now to figure out the myth beacon nonsense

[faint compass]

Do you have the beacon?

[remote thunder]

yeah - did you get it from anomaly qs shop already? make sure you select echoes from the ages

[white perch]

I don’t I gotta go to the anaomly and buy it with quickies

[remote thunder]

correct

[faint compass]

Okay good.

[remote thunder]

then exit anomaly, select echoes from the ages, and force cycle hint lower right if needed by pressing H or dpad left

[white perch]

and just like that 1-4 completed

2/5 for phase 5

I’m excited

[faint compass]

Also note people been building on site, but you don’t have to place the beacon exactly on the site.

[remote thunder]

just watch the hint

@white perch the hint will tell you when to use it

[faint compass]

Ummm that’s weird?

[white perch]

????

[faint compass]

I didn’t do that.

[remote thunder]

sure you did lol

[faint compass]

Nope. I think I would remember approaching a giant alien thingie like that.

[remote thunder]

may not have been the same building type

but the gist of it is

you get to where it tells you to go, it tells you when to use it

[faint compass]

Oooh lol okay I’m just stupid ignore me.

[remote thunder]

you're not

[faint compass]

Mmmm maybe that’s what that guy covered up.

[remote thunder]

quite possible

all others that i've seen going through this stage were at the same building type

but i also wasn't discarding the possibility of game picking at random, albeit seemingly unlikely so far

[white perch]

Any of the expeditions seem to be gut wrenching?

[remote thunder]

sorry, not sure i understand the question

could you please rephrase? "gut wrenching" especially

[white perch]

The griiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind 🙂

Something that just seemed so impossible you didn’t wanna do it again

Also sorry for the insanely stupid question but….

Once I get the Normandy is it unlocked on all accounts?

Or do I need to transfer it to main game?

[marsh charm]

Yes, and forever most expeditions shouldn't take more than a week doing it casually

Do it once have it forever

[white perch]

If I wasn’t that dumb I woulda been able to do this in three days, sweet ignorant bliss..

[remote thunder]

all saves, present and future, under the same account

[white perch]

This is why this game rocks so much

I frequent STO mainly because of there timed content but this game is getting there to be the best at exploration

||3 everyone’s beacons ❤️ ||

🥹I’m getting the feels

[warm gyro]

I haven`t finished the 1st one yet.I spend too much time planet scrounging.

[remote thunder]

expedition mode is more about completing objectives first, then if you'd like you can go out exploring

[white perch]

Math they have guides- just don’t be distracted… my play time with it was 17hrs

I was distracted too much with my ADHD self

Bk so I collected my reward but when I am trying to use it I don’t see it to summon it. Is there a trick?

Is it a visual skin I gotta apply?

[remote thunder]

which reward? normandy?

[white perch]

Yes

I already added it to my fleet from the anomaly

[remote thunder]

normandy is a frigate - did you see it warp in?

ah ok

so just resummon your freighter

it will be parked near it

[white perch]

Ooooooh lame 😂

I want it to be my main one

Odd I still don’t see it parked but my other one is there
