do I not get to take my multitools and ship into the expedition or smth?
what purpose does putting items and mods there serve?

remote thunder
#

costs nanites to copy ship/MT

#

basically, making your life easier

warm gyro
#

Question please. I made more freighter storage. When I say transfer for suit or starship to it it only has a handful of storage slots. How do I connect the 40-50 or so I crafted?

remote thunder
#

for example, i knew i was going to need an amino chamber to build a teleporter room because its a milestone objective

icy frigate
#

I don't follow

#

is the expedition like a new save or something?

#

like disconnected from all my stuff in my save?

remote thunder
#

correct

icy frigate
#

oh weird

remote thunder
#

with the exception of the expedition terminus, you're playing a new char

quaint urchin
icy frigate
#

so I just need like some resources to recharge my things and idk what else

warm gyro
#

How do I add stuff to them? while on the freighter?

remote thunder
warm gyro
#

kk

icy frigate
#

guess I need to gather some stuff before I begin then

warm gyro
#

Oh, Im about to go to phase three. I havent used the anomoly yet.

remote thunder
hazy sparrow
#

This expedition is the most doable without cloning stuff from your main save, but I like having my good ship and multitool anyway.

icy frigate
#

do I get my money in the expedition?

remote thunder
#

nope, you can bring items over into expedition to sell for units

#

won't need much

warm gyro
#

I dint know the game and just dove in feet first lol. Same same expedition, because to me if I dint finish expedition, Cant lose what I never had:)

remote thunder
#

and how are you liking it so far?

warm gyro
#

Aside from this forum I`ve watched a lot of YT. I have that on speed dial lol, to keep from asking so many new guy questions in here.

#

Me? Number 1 game in my stack!

How to get started with Fishing

  1. Unlock Fishing Rig multi-tool tech from the respective NPC in the Space Anomaly, then install it.
    -# Note: Specialized bait crafting recipes will also be taught when unlocking Fishing Rig.
  2. Goto any planet with underwater fauna.
  3. Optional: In the Multi-Tool inventory, cursor over Fishing Rig, press Apply Bait if you wish to use a bait to fish with.
  4. Aim at the water surface, and primary fire.
  5. When line gets fully stretched and colors Green, press and hold primary fire.

Caught fish is dropped as an item in inventory.

#

Exps for me, so far, are a little like crash course in the game. I1m off to the diner table lol. Cheers

icy frigate
#

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

#

oh boy I ain't done no fishing

remote thunder
#

fishing is pretty easy and chill

#

try it out in your main save first if you can

#

all in all, this is an expedition that is quite easy to do, if you havent played in a while i'd suggest just playing your main save for a bit, get your bearings back, a few hours to remember the basics, crafting, following mission objectives, how to force cycle hints lower right of the screen (press H or dpad left)- there's still plenty of days left to complete expedition 2 redux and get the normandy.

icy frigate
#

um

#

who do I talk to for fishing?

warm gyro
#

This is the 3rd Exp they have had in a couple months it seems like

remote thunder
remote thunder
#

@icy frigate in expedition2 redux there will be a milestone that when claimed, will reward the fishing rig blueprint; just click on a free multitool slot to add it from the list.

icy frigate
#

I got the fishing rig

remote thunder
#

that's basically the flow of things: complete mission aka milestone, get reward, move on to the next

icy frigate
#

dis yeah?

remote thunder
#

yeah

icy frigate
#

just that and bait right?
no other bits?

remote thunder
#

yeah, not much else to it - cast line in water, when line turns green press and hold till it catches it

warm gyro
#

Last question:) Can I complete go to phase 3 before completing phase 2?

remote thunder
#

you add bait to the bait box

remote thunder
icy frigate
#

so I gotta bring that to the expedition for Normandy?

remote thunder
icy frigate
#

okay

remote thunder
#

despite being started from existing save, and having access to the expedition terminus mechanic, the expedition run is in practice a different save

Are the dosimeter and myth beacon good for anything once done with the quests? I still have the historical data quest in my log even though I'm ready to end the expedition.

frank galleon
#

I don't recall if the dosimeter still gives QS after the milestone completes. Even if it didn't before, they might have changed it. Might be worth testing.
Myth Beacon does nothing after the expedition

well all I can get is that it says "two weeks remaining" both on the splash screen lower right, and at the anomaly terminal (I"m not actually in the expd to check how many days it thinks are left)

hazy sparrow

#

Nope. Greyed out from the transfer menu.

indigo falcon

the dosimeter is available for purchase at the qs shop I do believe

or maybe that's the myth beacon... (which does nothing on a regular save)

#

What's difficult about discovering 8 systems?

warm gyro
#

how to use the MT expansions

#

At the MT upgrade kiosk?

frank galleon
elder yarrow
#

biggest i have with warps is that i'm using my kitted out S rank ship from the main save as the expedition ship

#

so i bascially hop from destination to destination without any intermediate systems because i have that much warp range

#

but... that's not THAT hard to work around that...

frank galleon
#

that just makes finding undiscovered systems easier imo

#

you can go further out than the typical new player with low HD range

#

you can also ask Polo for black hole directions but i didnt even bother

elder yarrow
#

what, black hole => atlas route hopping as innefficiently as possible?

frank galleon
#

black hole once to get you away from expedition route, then look for undiscovered systems from there

#

or just jump to a red star >1000LY away from the expedition route and continue from there, thats what i did

ashen shore
#

I'm just doing the last 3 missions then I'll do a random blackhole jump praying it's into an undiscovered area

zealous tundra
#

How do send a frigate on expeditions?

supple sedge
#

talk to the guy who stands by the center console

zealous tundra
#

I need to do this 3 times apparently and i see no options

low jackal
#

have you built a fleet command room

zealous tundra
#

no, apparently that was a pre-req, think i got it now

supple sedge
#

if you talk to the guy he should give you a quest to do that

warm gyro
#

Someone said it doesn`t matter where we catch the fish? I caught 3 uncommon and a rare in under 10 minutes. Just water radio planet, not ice planet

#

You can just go to warp console and warp if you have the correct stuff right? I never talk to that layabout lol

#

Nite folks I`m toast lol.

cobalt socket
#

So what all is worth taking from the expedition lol

#

I saved all my upgrades, didn't use any, well maybe 1-2

quaint urchin
#

You can take all you want. Just load up the terminal and "only" use the Options menu to "Return to primary save". Once in primary save, unload the terminal. Then create a restore point (hop in and out of ship) and use the terminal to return to the expedition. Then load up the terminal again and repeat as needed.

cobalt socket
#

Cool, didn't know if there was some stuff worth not taking or what

#

Cause we cant take whole ships or freighters right?

#

only items

supple sedge
#

you can take (a copy of) the currently active ship and multitool

quaint urchin
#

Can take any ship, just change the active ship while in the expedition and then claim it for Nanites in your primary save. Freighters cannot be copied, but the modules can be transferred if you don't have them on your primary. Also, you can copy any Multi-tool you happened to have found as long as it is your primary. If you found more than one ship or multi-tool, just remember to set them as active when in the Expedition save and claim them in your primary.

cobalt socket
#

Cool thanks for the help (:

#

My primary save only had like 9 hours

#

before starting the expedition

#

Wanted to make sure I took everything I could lol

ashen shore
#

Wait so it's just a freighter ship??

quaint urchin
# ashen shore Wait so it's just a freighter ship??

I don't fully understand the question, but if you are referring to the ship you receive for completing the Expedition it is a Frigate. The Freighter is your base and Frigates can do missions. The SS Normandy is a frigate you can add to your fleet to do missions from your Freighter. While you can claim it in the Expedition, you can also claim it after completing the expedition on any other save by visiting the Quicksilver vendor in the Anomaly. Once you add it to your fleet, you can use it to send on missions from your freighter.

ashen shore
#

I thought it was an actual ship not just a frigate :<

Uh simple question but how do I reel in fish? Same button as casting?

Releasing the fish helps towards the 4,500 nanite goal.

yeah, bait equipped ofc. But it seems that even tho i'm on a frosty planet, i'm only catching fish that are "common across the galaxy"

that's expected

#

don't worry about that

#

just keep fishing

#

just rng

damn, i think i've did similiar milestones way faster, during the aquarius exp tho 🙂

#

well, back to fishing then

#

cheers bk

knotty marsh
#

Yeah, the RNG is definetely different now, than it was back in the Aquarius.

knotty marsh
#

For what it's worth, it makes more sense to use better quality baits now. Previously, the rng was, perhaps too generous

remote thunder
#

i did it with mealworms fairly sucessfully i'd say

wanton frigate
#

Another vote for Mealworms, cheap and done in 23 casts I think. 22 if you don't count the one I immediately pulled back in by mistake.

last flower
#

Been a while since I have played how does one fix the frigate?

#

In doing community expeditions

wanton frigate
#

Go to the frigate command station and teleport over to it, then visit the damaged stations

#

You can also just land on the frigate in your ship

last flower
#

Ok ty

remote thunder
#

@last flower cheese, if you'd like:

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.

that said, !faq-frigates in #bot-spam for when you're not in expedition

warm gyro
#

Someone said it doesn`t have to be frozen planet water for the fish? Yes or no?

#

I see above, nm. A day late and a dollar short, again lol

toxic elk
#

We had some issues catching fish on frozen planets also, but when I noticed in the description of the planet it said something about fish being there (some did say no fish), I went and was able to catch mine...it did take A LOT of casting but it finally happened.

#

To answer your question Math...it DOES have to be a frozen planet.

wished they gave the last expedition an extension. i was only a few hours away from completing it

Tho, I wonder. Omega was originally designed for the free weekends they did. Maybe they have plans to do that again for Omega redux and didn't want it running during a holiday? Dunno, just speculating.

I know they're UK based, but there are a lot of American players.

I heard that you can disconnect Internet to trick the phase 4 milestone for discovering new systems. Is that accurate?

blazing fossil

If the game can’t connect to ODS it will think all systems are undiscovered

wise meteor

The later folks do this expedition, the harder that step will become

#

bad enough for me a week ago

indigo falcon
#

bounce through a couple black holes, maximum warp in random directions between each hop, you'll find a region. even if late to the party

lusty slate
#

Not necessarily. Just go far enough from the expedition area and use a black hole. Or 2.

#

A large percentage of Euclid is still untouched.

indigo falcon
#

the vast majority of it is still untouched

wise meteor
#

based on the game size the discovered stuff is viturally nothing in percentage terms

do I get to keep all the random stuff I've gathered?
I've never had this many frigate expansion thingies

#

oop I think I just answered my own question

remote thunder
#

did you start from existing save? then yes, you can put them in the expedition terminus to bring back

#

if you didn't, could still bring them back, but would need another player

icy frigate
#

I think I should be able to bring back everything I want

#

this and the resources I initially brought were what I was mainly concerned with

#

I suppose another question, can I bring tech upgrades from the ship and multitool I synthesized while here?

#

I suppose it doesn't matter too much
tech upgrades aren't that hard to come by

you don't need to treasure those on the save because you wouldn't be able to get them again, you're free to get them again

Is there any problem with swapping my freighter on this expedition? And when I swap freighters does the tech get swapped too (I know cargo can be transferred)? Or do I need to pack them into my inventory first?

broken tusk
#

tech doesnt swap over on transfer just cargo

remote thunder
#

(freighter core cargo can be transferred, but won't happen automatically to be clear)

broken tusk
#

yes, that. You can move it over but not tech

#

good clarifiation bk

#

also, not sure ive ever tried to pack tech back into inventory. Does that work?

severe pendant
#

guys i just finished the expedtion, i put some stuff to take with me when i return to my main save, what happens to technologies still on equipment and other cargo that i won't specify to take with me? and can i take exosuit and/or multitool with me?

by Exosuit you mean the upgrades?

i mean the actual exosuit and multitool, loads of cargo space on the exp exosuit

remote thunder

@severe pendant basically, you store exosuit techs, copy MT and ship into primary save after finishing (equip the ones you want first)

broken tusk
remote thunder
#

it only has 1 reason why it won't come when you summon it: insufficient hyperdrive tech

broken tusk
#

I thought it was because it didnt have the upgrade for that colour star

remote thunder
#

most likely

broken tusk
#

ok yeah, i know it costs no fuel.

remote thunder
#

feel there's a "but" coming

broken tusk
#

i swear it didnt matter once upon a time

remote thunder
#

possibly, long ago

broken tusk

it would just come when called regardless

and yea i stored the techs that are nice

remote thunder

#

at the kiosk you started the expedition

#

if you have good MTs or ships you can take em with from the start too

#

from your main save

i would like the expedition multitool to be moved to my main save

not moved, copied

then recycle em at the MT station?

yep, if there's some tech you'd like to package, multiple times, to have several copies to install on different owned tools for example

copy, package techs you want, scrap it, copy it again, package same techs again, scrap

also remember that you can use the expedition terminus multiple times, if 8+24 isnt enough

serene flax

so i gotta only take the best

i can?

how?

remote thunder
# serene flax how?

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, save, 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

serene flax
#

huh ok

remote thunder
#

the expedition terminus stash is like a shared inventory between the two "saves", the primary and the expedition run "overlay"

#

but since both are actually in the same save file

#

if you save on one side, it's gonna update on the other too

#

so as long as you don't finish/end expedition run..

nvm i just remembered i make a spreadsheet to calculate what the best upgrades are from a group

#

you need to make sure you didn't skip any rendezvous milestones

hollow wing
#

i only see this

remote thunder
# hollow wing i only see this

you don't have the right milestone selected - that's rendezvous 3 - are you trying to do the rendezvous 3 milestone, phase 3?

#

look at this image:

oooowww.. shame on my..... thanks for pointing out not to skip a milestone :/ i'm so sorry...

"rendezvous 3" appears because i have it selected in expedition

@hollow wing yeah no worries, rendezvous milestones are the only ones that you shouldn't ever skip/do out of order, on any expedition

wich i did :/

it's okay, no harm done

@hollow wing another tip: be sure to always visit rendezvous system space stations: should you ever need to return back to expedition route, just teleport back to last rendezvous you were in, and carry on from there

you want to max warp a couple of times in a random direction, then ask Polo for black hole coords, then go through. If you're sill not in a first contact system, do that one more time.

# warm gyro well I`m back with a question lol. Discover 8 systems. Start warping to various ...

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, again, up/down/left/right - that should take you into undiscovered areas.

#

alternatively, could also disconnect from internet/go offline to kill the connection to the discovery services server, and then all systems will be undiscovered to you till you turn it back on/reconnect

cold marsh

then in game, pause/discoveries tab, lower left: connection to ODS server must be down

# warm gyro Last question. Freighter warp or just my star ship?

there's several stations with ship upgrade module shops that have s-class hyperdrive modules; if you got the nanites, starting to invest on those will help a lot for this milestone. buy 2 s-class modules (save+reload restocks upgrade module shops), install them, should get you easy to 500+ LY range, +200% efficiency, so definitely worth it imo

I made a base early in exp and someone else has made a base which is half in my base. I know during exp, bases don't show up allowing multiple bases in same area. Thing is, they put their mineral extractors on a floor above mine so I'm guessing they saw my base when building. My question is, if I report the base, does it just disappear? It's not that it's offensive and I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble, it just messed up my base.

#

Ok, I think the message said something about them reviewing it as offensive

remote thunder
#

you'll be fine

slim elm
#

I mean ya, it's a bit offensive but I don't blame them. I've seen this thing happen before.

remote thunder
#

the other player will be fine too

#

don't think they had a ill intent anyway

#

but they shouldn't have gone that far imo

#

that said, yeah, just report

slim elm
#

I'm sure not, it's about 600u away from the portal on one of the exp planets. There's a lot of bases showing up now all around me.

remote thunder
#

did you upload your base?

slim elm
#

Yes

remote thunder
#

then the only way they'd have been able to build there was to see your base, go offline, build the base, then go back online and upload it i think

slim elm
#

I notice it disappears at times then shows up. Does a person have to be online for their bases to be seen? I still see the big crater in the ground where it is.

#

He might have uploaded a different base on the planet too, and this one wouldn't show up I think.

remote thunder
#

only 1 uploaded base per planet per account

slim elm
#

My base is Portal across Lake on Gaxaral - Tarum 17/E9

#

Small base, was really helpful during exp. Probably won't elaborate much on it though. Dissodent planet, I can't remember which sentinel ship is on that one.

remote thunder
#

you may want to raise a report to hello games on this, but yeah reporting base via on foot quick menu for example will basically despawn the base for you and you alone.

#

sets a flag in your save file that base is to be hidden

slim elm
#

I think I will, thanks

remote thunder
# warm gyro I`ve seen several around the map but can`t place my marker to warp to it, just g...

you don't need a marker. once you decided to warp to a system in the galaxy map, you just deselect current system (right mouse button), then you move "yourself" with WASD, and you look around with the mouse. when you highlighted the system you want to go to, you just press left mouse button to select the system you want to warp to, and then just press and hold left mouse button again till it warps

#

as long as that system is within hyperdrive range, and your ship has the tech needed to warp to it if it's not a yellow star system, you can warp to it, regardless of what destination lines say that you should go through

<:info:850810445577453658> Obtaining Nav Data

To be able to get specific planetary charts from the Station Cartographer, we need nav data. Easily gathered from lootable objects around Space Stations.

Alternative sources:

  • Some Component/Tech Vendor npcs in Minor Settlements/Planetary Archives;
  • Waypoint/windmill save points, often next to buildings, the first time they're interacted with.
  • Ancient Data Structure clusters on some planets;

Weird, I'm back from the expedition and the systems I visited are in my Discoveries list, and the base I built shows up under Your Bases, but the space stations I visited in each system do not. As a matter of fact, the space station list is VERY abbreviated from the list of systems in Discovery, and I almost always land on the station.

#

This leaves my discoveries list full of systems that, if I have no base there, I cannot get back to.

remote thunder
#

i'll be able to check this tomorrow

remote thunder
hazy sparrow
#

The difference again this expedition is that I swapped between my main save and the expedition one extra time before ending. I swear the game loses data when one does that.
And yes, my backup plan has been to land on at least one planet and record the portal coordinates. I document everywhere I care about having been offline.

Finally! I either always landed in a fight immediately, or just my luck it never said black hole spotted. At last. I was blind and now I see. It appeared right in front of me. I had to warp to like 8-10 galaxies close to the BH icons. RNG? Luck a that draw?

#

hazy sparrow
#

The most time-consuming task is the fishing one, and no one can do that for you. The most help someone could be would be to give you materials.

#

Lol during the expedition I saw 3 red squid exotics land on the rendezvous 5 station in the span of 15 minutes. Now that I'm done and back I have yet to see one. The difference is I warped in the first time, so I may try warping out and back to see if it helps.

warm gyro
#

We can do this again if we don`t make it? And get the Normandy?

hazy sparrow
#

But seriously, it goes quick, I was 4/5 done before I ever left the first system.

I just now found black holes. Now everytime I warp, yup black hole

Finally finished!

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask or not.

I started my expedition from the anomaly and know how to take items back to my main save.

Is there a way to take/transfer base location back to the main save. Found a place I think is cool and would like to keep it.

Is there a trick to finding unexplored systems? I went through 2 black holes and I'm still warping into discovered territory lol

So far Beachhead and Cartographers are the only two expeditions that have been brought back after their holiday redux. Both with reward changes.

It's possible you got unlucky and got black holes someone else in the expedition already went through.

no mistake about it

heady meteor
#

bleh what now? just would like to get the Normandy

#

oops sec

remote thunder
#

none of this sentinel ship claiming is needed to complete expedition/get the normandy

#

this is a side goal you chose to pursue

#

just a random space encounter that you could have just simply ignored after going through it and getting that mission

#

remember, expeditions is about milestone completion

#

whatever's not directly related to a milestone can be straight up ignored here and/or left for later, for after you got your milestones done

heady meteor
#

most my previous milestones completed by doing side missions 😆

remote thunder
#

what i meant is that you should focus on completing milestones: sentinel ship would help because of its large hyperdrive range for example, when it comes to the uncharted milestone from phase 4

#

or reaching next rdv in a single warp

heady meteor
#

uncharted not a problem, i disconnect internet/wifi before load my game

remote thunder
#

right

#

up to you - i personally went through exp2 redux twice now, neither time i disabled internet, had no issues doing it, left it for the end

heady meteor
#

guess just gotta find the hiding planets am missing somewhere. this sentinel ship can wait, if it poofs it poofs though

remote thunder
#

just make sure to visit the station of the system - and of any rdv systems btw - or drop and claim a base computer so you can return later

heady meteor

reseting freighter base was indeed the easiest way out, and rebuilding fleet command room(s) shouldn't ever pose problem: when they're rebuilt, game should gracefully use them for each of the running expeditions
