wait what

i somehow

i dont even know what

i got it

no it just opens it

nothing else

[naive crypt]

Just like with beachhead I get to start this expedition with Boundary Herald

For 0 cost

[naive crypt]

Retrace your steps

Go full monke

If it worked once it will work again

[shrewd pollen]

Hmm, I just realized there are no Deep-Sea gloves to go with the rest of the armor set for Aquarius

[lusty slate]

How's the community milestone progression or is it too early to tell?

[pine hull]

Yes you can start the expedition from a new save, the expedition rewards like limited time cosmetics are redeemable on any save file you start on your account

[plucky moon]

Really the Rendezvous 2 is on a different galaxy? and I've been waiting for 45 min...

[hollow shore]

All Expedition Rendezvous locations are in the Euclid galaxy. You meant star system instead?

[plucky moon]

Oh okay but its so far away?

[hollow shore]

Not all that far, similar to the distance for rendezvous 1

[plucky moon]

thann my game is buggy

how i can find a portal

[keen bloom]

done

[hollow shore]

Just make sure you have the milestone for it active and it will show the Expedition Route in the Galaxy Map

[plucky moon]

Yeah i do this like 45 min

and i see i dont have glypsh in expdition iam fuckt

[hollow shore]

You do not use a portal to get to those Rendezvous locations

[spare parrot]

Redux time!

[hollow shore]

@plucky moon You fly there using your ship once you have the Hyperdrive and warp cells

[plucky moon]

wow now is the rendevou there.. the game fuckt me 1 hour

[lusty slate]

Hey, they didn't sneak in a fishing milestone this time, at least

[sudden ether]

Oh man..i thought for expeditions you need specifici equipment...so early game players can't do them

Thank you!

[naive crypt]

No no no, anyone can do them

[sudden ether]

I skipped most of the ones from this year cause I bought the game but didn't make it past the tutorial

[naive crypt]

If you start expedition as fresh save, after it ends you can convert that save to a normal one

[sudden ether]

Thinking you need to reach specific elvel

[lusty slate]

All expeditions are able to be completed without bringing anything. It's just an option to speed things up.

[sudden ether]

Still, rewards (e.g. ships) would be shared across saves?

[naive crypt]

Yes

Those are tied to your account

[sudden ether]

I understood expeditions are special missions, something you can't do if you miss the time slot by which they are available

[gilded orchid]

I see things on expedition planets I rarely see elsewhere

[naive crypt]

If you have a save converted from exped, it will be a custom mode save, but it will have a bunch of stuff unlocked and lot of the tutorial done

Plus you will have stuff you collected for milestones

[lusty slate]

Correct, they are time limited. But they don't require a minimum progression in the game to start.

In fact, the original run of Omega was specifically designed for complete newbies

[sudden ether]

Awesome..thank you! So rewards tied to account, not save game

[naive crypt]

Which makes total sense now that I look at the milestones

Jared Leto is in No Man's Sky?!!!

[lusty slate]

The original Omega was run as a free demo weekend. So yeah

[gilded orchid]

Most expeditions seem to act as tutorials for new and basic game mechanics

[naive crypt]

Oh right right right

Everyone was invited to play the game for free

I forgot

Well I practically brought nothing with me, might not even collect the 800 Indium imported from my main save

[gilded orchid]

I brought nothing with, but not as a flex

[naive crypt]

It ain't a flex

[gilded orchid]

I mean for me

[naive crypt]

I just, feel like doing this one raw

[gilded orchid]

It just launched that way

[naive crypt]

Hey you can still claim a boundary herald to help you out

[gilded orchid]

At the anomaly?

[naive crypt]

Yep

If you don't install the A and X class upgrades you get you will get more than enough nannies by selling them to either redeem BH or copy your own ship

[gilded orchid]

I think I miss my MT more lol

[naive crypt]

Or your MT

[remote thunder]

i brought these the last time, havent started exp12 redux yet

[pastel aurora]

MT?

[remote thunder]

multitool

[pastel aurora]

Ah. I see

[gilded orchid]

All hip with the lingo I am

[pastel aurora]

I picked up an S Class multitool at the first station I went to last expedition lol

[naive crypt]

MegaTron

[remote thunder]

when you type multi-tool, or multitool enough times, you start using MT

😆

[naive crypt]

Similarly, OP is Optimus Prime

[gilded orchid]

I feel MT

[pastel aurora]

When are we going to see a boxing match between you and @noble token?

[naive crypt]

Boxing?

What tf do I do with these claymores then?

[gilded orchid]

Boxing Day

[naive crypt]

You have no idea how much effort it took for me to just make the hilt and the handle

[pastel aurora]

The only reason I even know what this is is because of the 2004 tsunami

[pastel aurora]

Fine, it can be a sword fight

[gilded orchid]

⚔️

[pastel aurora]

Wait I didn't even realize this was expedition chat

[gilded orchid]

It happens

[still junco]

do we have an item-to-bring list?

[gilded orchid]

Not really, just what might make it a little easier

Chromatic metal, some multi tool mods you favor

Most everything you need you get during the expedition

[remote thunder]

this is what i brought the last time; this post and its sublinks (which are actually posted before it) <#nms-expedition message> can show you what the milestone objectives are, and from there learn/search/anything just ask what you'd need to accomplish such a task

[gilded orchid]

Just depends how fast you want to complete the experience

[remote thunder]

yes, well, exp12, i did like 5 or 6 runs because of the quicksilver rewards

[gilded orchid]

There is that

[remote thunder]

that was like... one of my last, and the first started from existing save

mostly did it to get screenshots for faq-expedition

since exp12 was the one that intro'd exp terminus

[gilded orchid]

I see expeditions almost as tutorials

Or camping for more experienced players

[remote thunder]

they need to hold player hands a lot, since you get new players pretty much everytime

[gilded orchid]

And that’s fine… it’s a nice change of pace

[remote thunder]

i'm a fan of lore themed expeditions, but i enjoy the different starting scenarios as well

[gilded orchid]

Yeah, starting over in a controlled environment is fun

Specific goals and such

[remote thunder]

which still feel like a big quest sometimes, and that's when i love it

[keen bloom]

atlas staff thing

[remote thunder]

pretty

[gilded orchid]

Sometimes focusing on small picture again is better than more bombast

[tiny gale]

what is "Ticket to Freedom"

[plucky moon]

Where i find Airless Planet

[tiny gale]

look for a planet with rusted metal

[rich pilot]

sweet, Omega. I didn't finish it last time. Isn't it the one that gives the multitool staff?

[spare parrot]

And starborn runner

[plucky moon]

ty

[plucky moon]

tell me if u know it

[swift swan]

question: can you still do the trick to copy/clone the Starborn Runner to get multiple Photonix Cores in your main save if you already have the Starborn Runner?

[atomic estuary]

Yeah, copy it to the expedition and then create as many copies as you want on the primary save

Or claim it in the expedition and copy to the primary as many times as you wish to

[swift swan]

ok, let me see if I get this right cause I've never done this before:
1st. Star expedition on main save having Starborn Runner as the active ship
2nd. Copy the ship TO the expedition.
3rd. Return to main save, and just make additional copies, salvaging each after extracting its Photonix Core.
4th. Rinse and repeat the copy. Correct?

[ashen shore]

Needing a airless planet will really make you annoyed how scorched look from space lol

[plucky moon]

Is there a airless planet in near the start area of the expedition

[atomic estuary]

Yeah, pretty much

[swift swan]

2 questions if I may:

A. what happens to my current Starborn Runner? (the one I got back when Omega expedition first came out?) Can I still copy it if I already have it?
B. what happens to the unfinished expedition that I start on my main save? (I've always done expeditions on new saves, old habit, is it automatically removed after this current expedition is finished in 2 weeks?)

[atomic estuary]

A. When you create a copy the original remains unaffected and yes you can copy it

B. I recommend progressing the expedition untill you get the space anomaly (usually after the first warp). When time runs out you won't be able to progress the expedition and when you load the expedition the game will direct you to close it at the expedition terminus on the space anomaly. That can be a problem if you didn't unlock the space anomaly in the expedition

Well, you need the anomaly for the whole copying process either way

[swift swan]

A. cool, thanks, I just wasn't sure since I have the og one
B. great, that's where I am in the expedition, I was going to do it ENTIRELY again to get the ship to THEN copy it back to main save, but you just saved me a ton of time, I didn't think about first copying it from main save -> to expedition, I'll just need to bring around 28k nanites to the expedition first (I'll get some stacks of runaway mould or something, enough for 30k). I'll let the expedition run out in 2 weeks as I don't really need to complete it then.

Thanks for your help ❤️

[turbid lake]

how do I get glass because I literally can’t get frost crystals

need the hazmat gauntlet which I don’t have

wait a sec I can do the milestones in any order nvm

[winged orchid]

you can also smelt silicate powder for it

[hushed oasis]

ironic coming from someone name of Sand LOL

[quick tusk]

I’m a little lost on what phase one want me to do. I repair ship and I can see it want me to go to another system in the same galaxy however i do not have the pulse drive to jump to it

[craggy siren]

I was hoping they would do some of the older expeditions

[cold tulip]

[keen bloom]

phase 4 done

how am i going to find one

[remote thunder]

what does the milestone hint lower right of the screen say you need to do?

[tiny gale]

i made a base on a grave site, labeled Grave site, if you can find that

[remote thunder]

force cycle hints by pressing H or dpad left

[keen bloom]

oh wait i didnt see it at first

now its there

[tiny gale]

wait, 4 is done, i jsut started phase 2- dang

[atomic estuary]

[ashen river]

I need an airless world bru

[turbid lake]

how do u do the document the worlds option things

[ashen river]

Just let the community do it

[turbid lake]

no

you have to

I need the eggs

[ashen river]

Just scan

[keen bloom]

finished the expedition

[regal scarab]

Scan all animals, plants, and rocks on the planet. That's what you need to do.

[turbid lake]

nuh uh

wait up I’m on phase 3

[keen bloom]

too late

im back on my main save now

||(yes i start new saves for expeditions)||

[turbid lake]

same

I do too don’t worry

[tiny gale]

are all teh redux going to be this fast and easy, or are they supposed to take time?

[blazing fossil]

They are shortened to fit the shorter timeframe

[fickle night]

i wish they increase the MT slots :") i got a 4-SC class C gun from the Cursed Expedition, but i can't copy cuz my MT full 😭

[tiny gale]

bases i make in expedition wont carry over will they?

[turbid lake]

Supposed to take time and be easy, but they’re dhortened so we can have more of them

[vivid stream]

oh i just completed any 5 expeditions

before holiday announced

[turbid lake]

how do u make unstable gel?

[turbid lake]

nope

[gilded orchid]

Do you have the recipe for it?

[turbid lake]

nop

[tawdry swallow]

smack your face twice against the dashboard.

[turbid lake]

maybe

[gilded orchid]

Then you can’t make it yet

[tawdry swallow]

smack it

HARD

[turbid lake]

it’s an anomaly item apparently

Like from the anomaly
blueprint place

[tawdry swallow]

no a dashboard

[turbid lake]

yes

[tawdry swallow]

🤙

[gilded orchid]

You will most likely be awarded the recipe as you complete phases and milestones

[keen bloom]

you dont

the game tells you to get it from the anomaly

same with the ceiling lamp in that one part

[gilded orchid]

There you go

[ashen river]

I opened the relic and it gave me a lewd relic bro

Hands up who's playing Omega again for QS.

[wraith junco]

🦗

[tiny gale]

SINCE when did systems change back from being an outlaw system, i was in one, left, came back and its a reg system now

[wheat roost]

Is there an easy Airless planet to find?

[pine hull]

If you go into the materials catalogue and search for rusted metal it’ll guide you to an airless planet

[tiny gale]

not working

[pine hull]

Wym not working

[wheat roost]

Materials Catalogue?

[tiny gale]

Aint giving me anything

[pine hull]

That’s weird, I could’ve sworn that worked

[gaunt path]

Wait is the next expedition already here?

The cursed just happened🫠

[pine hull]

Check if dioxite works

[winged orchid]

dioxite is just frozen planets, doesnt have to be airless

so it might not help

[pine hull]

I know I just wanna see if they disabled that feature for the expedition or if I am just wrong

Dioxite almost certainly won’t take you to an airless planet

[tiny gale]

it will let me find frozen

[winged orchid]

finally I found a dead planet

[pine hull]

Hmm I could’ve sworn that worked for me in the past, sorry for the fake news 😂

[tiny gale]

i need to find a dead planet and lots of cactus plants

[wary siren]

does things like knowledge gained from knowledge stones carry over when your done the expedition

[remote thunder]

afaik no

[wary siren]

kk cool, ill ignore them

[blazing fossil]

Why does everyone say they’re gonna do me…?

[winged orchid]

how do you complete the optional milestones?

[blazing fossil]

Community milestones

[winged orchid]

ah

[blazing fossil]

Gotta wait for people to also do them

(Or for HG to make sure they’re hit on time)

[winged orchid]

can I claim them outside of the expedition?

[pine hull]

I would just play it safe and wait

[winged orchid]

thats what im doing

[blazing fossil]

No

Need to be on exped

[winged orchid]

ok

thats mildly annoying

[remote thunder]

you can just pause/options/return to primary if you did start from existing save, and hop back in after you hear first community milestone has finished

if you don't have any other milestone to do ofc

[winged orchid]

Oh alright

[wheat roost]

It aint working for me either

[pine hull]

Yeah sorry I was wrong my bad

[remote thunder]

for airless, just look for any planet with rusted metal on rendezvous systems

start there

as you keep on pushing through the phases

remember that in rendezvous systems, you can just pause/Discoveries and see info about planets in the system

if there's none with the needed resource - rusted metal because it's the dead aka empty aka airless biome native mineral - then just move on, another system along the route will probably have one

[acoustic jacinth]

How do I do the Optional Milestone? I just wait the Bar to get to 100% like the Liquidator Expedition? Or do i gotta do something?

[remote thunder]

I just wait the Bar to get to 100% like the Liquidator Expedition?
you wait, or you help progress it by doing its objective

ofc, i'd suggest doing so after all non-optionals have been completedd

[acoustic jacinth]

I will wait for the Bar to get to 100% after I complete my other Milestones. Plus I already got Phase 1. But i also gotta ask. When I complete all the Mandatory milestone and Phase, do I get the Starahip then or do i gotta wait. And what do the Optional Milestone give?

[remote thunder]

optionals are optionals; to get starborn runner, the ship, which is the final expedition reward, you need to complete all phases and then claim the final expedition reward, but optionals aren't required to complete phases

if it's doing it like original exp12, then the eggs from optional milestone rwards in phases 2-5 are also unlocked account wide

[elder yarrow]

Any point in doing the expeditions a second time?

[teal socket]

huh, weird. just started the expedition and Escape Velocity was completed when I interacted with a waypoint on land while getting resources. haven't even lifted off yet.

[alpine topaz]

I don't think I did Omega earlier this year

[atomic estuary]

In case of Omega a whole bunch of quicksilver you can bring back to your primary save

[alpine topaz]

So il definitely try it this round

When I start an expedition it's exciting, then by the end I just want to get it all done. after some of the grind sets in.🎲🎲

[remote thunder]

known behavior - it's that aerial zoom out after interaction that does it

[acoustic jacinth]

Ok. Thx.

[wraith junco]

And pet eggs!!! For optional milestones.

[elder yarrow]

We got an omega import cheese list?

[tiny gale]

so far, every system i have been to has no airless planets, but has had pirate ships every time

[remote thunder]

personally - when it originally released - i ran it multiple times, after optionals were completed, and now, guaranteed, on exp12 redux, just counted it, 10800 quicksilver per run .

again, counting optionals

[remote thunder]

<#nms-expedition message>

[ripe summit]

How do the optional milestones work?

[wintry void]

reward for unbounded bugged?

[ashen shore]

what should i pack for the expedition beforehand?

[remote thunder]

community research milestone, all players contribute; when goal is reached, milestone completes for all, all players can claim it and get its reward. not needed to progress on to the next phase

[remote thunder]

possibly yeah, try to restart game?

[ripe summit]

Does this count for switch players too?

[wintry void]

yep, ive deleted 1 save already cause of it, and same on a new save

[remote thunder]

<#nms-expedition message> this should work, let me know if you can't really make it all out from that image

[ashen shore]

alright, thanks bk!

[remote thunder]

hmm, let me start a save, see what i get

but it's just the reward string that's missing?

gameplay works fine?

@wintry void ^

[tiny gale]

it worked for me, did you talk to the jelly fish then the statue in space

[remote thunder]

ah nvm, not there yet sorry

[ashen shore]

@remote thunder is there a nanite milestone in this expedition? i normally pack for these bc it’s annoying to do them in the expedition

[remote thunder]

ah there you go, ty

[wintry void]

yep, i dont get the reward though to build the thing for next objective at next rv

[tiny gale]

memory of ocean, memory of conquest, then memory of bones

[remote thunder]

nah, but always worth having an easy source of them to get through quicker, in case any unlocks/upgrade module purchases/copy gear from primary save is needed

[wintry void]

yep didnt get memory of bones recipe

[ashen shore]

oka

[tiny gale]

try going back and talkig to him, again

[wintry void]

hmm was a mod conflict

[remote thunder]

yeah, definitely always worth disabling mods for a bit just to see if everything works

[tiny gale]

is everyones atlas staff a class A

[remote thunder]

atlas scepter? yes

[tiny gale]

upgrade that thing when i get back to other side. lol

[lost arrow]

Ay just got this game with the steam sale, how far into the game should I go before im ready for these expeditions?

[ashen river]

What do I do for palate cleanser I made basic biscuits but it didn't complete

[ashen river]

Completion

[keen bloom]

the current expedition is probably the most "tutorial"-like expedition so uh

[remote thunder]

well, this game is pretty extensive, has been running since 2016, since then multiple changes, while the core remains more or less the same. depends on how well you get into it, i guess, hard to say. who knows, maybe you'll be patient and are able to pace yourself down a bit, in order to properly follow and complete missions and their sub objectives. the mission hints that pop lower right of the screen when you're playing are your main way of knowing what the game expects you to do next when it comes to progressing that mission and expedition missions aka milestones arent really all that different, but there's stuff that they assume the player knows. for example, you may have no idea how to identify a airless aka dead biome planet.

that said, i'd say progress at least until you get access to the anomaly

See Pins in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam

[remote thunder]

@lost arrow lots and lots of time to complete exp12 redux, even if you do end up spending 2 or 3 days playing another mode. !faq in #bot-spam can share a list of commands that might help you quite a bit, but there's lots of info

[ashen river]

Guys

For palate cleanser what do I do

I already made the bisucits

[remote thunder]

select that milestone, unpause, force cycle hints lower right of the screen by pressing H or dpad left multiple times if needed: what does it want you to do?

[ashen river]

Rn wants me to make sourdough again

I already made some

[keen bloom]

you need to get something else to make a biscuit

like a hexaberry or something

thats what i used

[ashen river]

Oooooh

[keen bloom]

so just something that doesnt make it plain

[remote thunder]

make it, then read the hint again

[zinc wharf]

I completed my expedition with 6 hours to spare

[remote thunder]

(just taking this as an example to try and raise awareness for that sometimes pacing down, seeing what else info game is willing to provide is important) @lost arrow ^ see this "issue" here? "player somewhat lost in what to do next"? all they really would need to do is to cook/craft the needed product, then wait again for (or force cycle hints lower right) the newly updated hint of the same mission, to learn what the next step is. they probably didn't, and that led them to "run around in circles" for a bit, not quite sure on what to do next.

the game has this way of hand holding; once you pace down and observe the screen for a few seconds after completing a mission subjective, the next one will be revealed

a lot of "issues" we see around here kinda just pop up sometimes due to some players kinda wanting the game to go faster

sorry if it feels like i'm overstressing this, but

NMS really isn't a race, iow

[lost arrow]

Gotcha, kinda have to adjust from the pace of other games and take my time here

[remote thunder]

yeah

[lost arrow]

Do you risk missing out on limited time items by not doing the expeditions?

[remote thunder]

well

[lost arrow]

Cause the fomo can suck lol

[remote thunder]

the devs ofc know that there's rewards that are really popular

which is why they do these reruns (exp12 released at the beginning of this year)

however they are indeed time limited

but

mindful of that, objectives to complete and get the rewards are.. easy.

they..

plan out the expedition route systems in order to facilitate, even more, and in addition to milestone rewards being quite useful to complete other milestones..

[lost arrow]

Ok cause I saw we were on expedition 14? Or something like that

[remote thunder]

..the fast completion of an expedition within a few hours

nah

this year they released 5 new expeditions

[ashen river]

Jt worked

[remote thunder]

exp12, 13, 14, 15, and 16

then

[lost arrow]

Wait so do they ever run back the expeditions from previous years or only the last year recap?

[remote thunder]

after exp16, they did a redux of exp2 (a new habit they started out last year, run really old expeditions a third time, with a mixed set of rewards)

see above ^

[lost arrow]

Gotcha thanks, that does help with the fomo

[remote thunder]

rn it's exp12 omega redux, but just for you to get a better sense, these were the rewards of exp2 2024 redux:

For this edition of Beachheads Redux, some rewards from other early expeditions have been added:
• Golden First Spawn Battle Mask (Pioneers, expedition 1)
• Wayward Cube (The Blighted, expedition 6)
• Reality Glitch Trail (Exobiology, expedition 5)
• Fleet Commander's Cape (Polestar, expedition 8)

so they started doing it like, if the exp being rerun is not from the same year, then it will have some rewards from that expdition, but also other rewards from other past, off year, expeditions

ah also

[lost arrow]

Ok I kinda like that tbh

[remote thunder]

these rewards are unlocked account wide

and can be claimed in all saves under same account, once per save

[lost arrow]

Ok so any character you make will have it?

[remote thunder]

yeah

[lost arrow]

Nice

[remote thunder]

present or future saves ofc

even future expedition runs haha

in any case, there's lots of time left to do this one

any questions about other modes, feel free to ask in #nms-questions

probably best that way

[ashen river]

Now I need cadmium bro I hate this

[wintry void]

Class A Multi-Tool on start planet not checked the other variations

maybe ill do tomorrow

unless someone finds an S class

[remote thunder]

buy, install and dismantle c-class ship weapon positron ejector or infra knife upgrade modules for 125 cadmium+1 wiring loom each

[zealous tundra]

When i played through the last expedition there seemed to be a load of player bases that were giving away tons of resources. Would all of those still be there?

[remote thunder]

maybe not right now, since it's a "new" expedition and it just started, but a few days from now, yeah, probably/most likely there will be

[ashen river]

I did that bit already but uhh my pre packaged drive didn't hey put into my inventory because no free slots

[remote thunder]

press quick transfer on a free ship cargo slot, see if you can find it on that long list

[zealous tundra]

I mean, like, if I go to the planet from the last expedition. Is it usually the case that people just leave that stuff up?

[remote thunder]

no, you'd not be able to access those, as they're now in a different game mode than you are playing rn

exp2 redux ended, every exp2 redux save and their bases got converted, "pulled" into normal mode

they're only visible in normal mode - we're on expedition (12)

[tiny gale]

i made biscuits, and it didnt register- fun fun

[remote thunder]

what does the hint want you to do

[tiny gale]

had to make 2 kinds i guess

[elfin portal]

Do I have to wait for community research to complete in order to complete the optional milestones for documenting the rendevous planets?

[remote thunder]

yes

[elfin portal]

So I should just leave and wait for other people to finish it?

[remote thunder]

you can pause/return to primary save if you started from existing save, and hop back in when optionals you want have been completed so you can claim them

[elfin portal]

I just started the expedition so I'll just knock out the main stuff.

[winter tapir]

I can’t do the expedition because my cousin abducted my console. 😨

[elfin portal]

Abduct him and demand the console as ransom. Problem solved.

[winter tapir]

Great idea, I’ll tell you how that goes.

[elfin portal]

[ashen river]

Hey I need a system for the xenophile mission

[lunar vector]

does anyone know if you can reroll on the a staff reward after you finish the expedition to get the 4 supercharged slots??

[remote thunder]

look for planets with gold on resource list

[ashen river]

Ok

[remote thunder]

afaik that was patched out, but i'd suggest trying to copy it via expedition terminus multiple times if you started from existing save

[lunar vector]

ok

[tiny gale]

might do optional tasks on a different character

[teal socket]

I usually do a quick derelict frigate run before the expedition and get enough twisted metal from salvage and sell off the manifest/captain's log for more twisted metal to transfer over and usually get enough nanites from that

[ashen shore]

oooo smart

[remote thunder]

i would spend the 5M getting sus packets 😄

but yeah, lots of options

(for you to get an example, i opened less than 20 sus packets in a exp2 redux run, got 7k nanites in less than 5min after having collected them from the anomaly)

i love derelict freighter missions though, i really do

[winter tapir]

@elfin portal , That didn’t work, and as a punishment, I had to give a few air soft guns to him. :/

[remote thunder]

i thought you had the guns to begin with? 😅

[tiny gale]

if i put cargo in my ship and then finish the expedition, does it copy over of just the tech

[winter tapir]

I didn’t use them, would’ve gotten into a shitload of trouble. (Multitool charge was depleted. )

[remote thunder]

😄

[remote thunder]

just tech

that said..

if it will let you use the expedition terminus to add items, you may have an option

[elfin portal]

Now you gotta drop a smoke bomb to escape and change your name and face!

[winter tapir]

Should I get my squadron on him?

[remote thunder]

let's try and keep it on topic, remember there's #off-topic-bond-james-bond

[tiny gale]

is your squadron full of sentinel or living ships

[bleak turret]

anything i should bring to this expedition?

[remote thunder]

check <#nms-expedition message> and <#nms-expedition message>

[tiny gale]

is that updated for redux?

cause i see nothign for nanites. lol

[remote thunder]

with how many nanites we get from milestones, i didn't see a need to bring any at the time, and most likely the same will happen with this run - but you're right, and that's also why i mentioned this link <#nms-expedition message>

[elfin portal]

[bleak turret]

so nothing especial this expedition?

alr

[remote thunder]

rad shards+inv mirror, illegal goods are a couple that come to mind

[bleak turret]

naa

i bring the bare minimum

to enjoy the expedition the most i can

but thx for the sugestion

[remote thunder]

anytime

[winter tapir]

No, I own the best trio in the galaxy- Fred the korvax, Timothy the gek, George the v’keen! (They’re all C tier. 🦅)

[lunar vector]

@remote thunder when you mentioned to copy the staff via terminal did you mean to try to grab it by restarting the restablishment save or else???

[tiny gale]

too bad we cant copy our mt to go into the expedition

[muted granite]

We can’t?

[remote thunder]

you equip the tool and ship you want to copy in expedition later, before starting

then all needed is to unlock anomaly in expedition and have the nanites to copy gear

[tiny gale]

so i can take my staff mt with me on a new expedition?

[lunar vector]

sorry if i didn't make myself clear, i meant that i didn't completely understand what this is supposed to do

[remote thunder]

if you get atlas scepter in expedition run started from existing save, you can equip it, then save, pause/options/return to primary, and goto anomaly/expedition terminus, and copy it once; check supercharged slot layout; copy it again, again check supercharged layout: is it different than the first time? then this wasn't patched

[lunar vector]

okay thx

[remote thunder]

yep

well, ofc, you always have to get to anomaly in expedition

[tiny gale]

ok, i dont think i saw it on the bottom as an option last time, ill check here after i start on this one

[remote thunder]

once you get to anomaly, should see your items (which i had already taken out), + the two copy buttons lower right

[stray needle]

should I do the under the rebel star quest?

[remote thunder]

no point

@stray needle unless you want easy access to an outlaw system

to buy illegal goods

[stray needle]

i mean there is a quest to smuggle

[remote thunder]

correct, but you don't need to actually do the quest - you only want it to lead you to an outlaw system, no need to progress it further than that

otherwise, you'd just get eco scanner and find an outlaw system on your own

[stray needle]

does the game give me a way to get a sential ship?

[tiny gale]

yup, its actually a mission in this expedition

[remote thunder]

reason why i wouldnt bring echo locator or carrier ai frag,but would bring 3 shards+1 inv mirror

wouldn't even need to bring those

[wary siren]

im following a guide on the expedition and its saying to goto a planet Nash....i cant find it anywhere

[remote thunder]

what system is it in

[wary siren]

no chance these names would change could it? the video is old

im currently in the system it started in bezhgo-Zam

[remote thunder]

don't use a video from the original expedition 12 run

remember that this is the redux, it doesn't happen in the same systems

[wary siren]

noooo

hahahah

[remote thunder]

what milestone are you doing?

[wary siren]

awesome thanks, , i really just started...gathering resources so all good

[lusty slate]

Also, @wary siren, the redux tends to have easier milestones due to the more limited time frame. Older Omega guides will likely confuse more than help.

I'm impressed they're keeping the QS payout despite not being a free weekend again. That's cool of them.

[remote thunder]

so sweet

doing a few runs these next few days for sure

[lusty slate]

I had approx 14k when I ended it last time. rubs hands like a fly

[remote thunder]

haha same here! 😄

did the math on quicksilver from milestones alone, including optionals, came up to 10k and change

[lusty slate]

Wait until Friday to start and throw in two weekend QS + at least two dailies...

[remote thunder]

yep yep, those too!

forgot to include those, but was just focusing on milestones

[lusty slate]

I don't use the reset exploit, but I WILL exploit the exped terminal for QS shenanigans.

[remote thunder]

what's the reset exploit?

[lusty slate]

Tank some QS, save, spend it. Then quit immediately before auto save and reload.

[remote thunder]

ahh that

yeah never used it

[gilded orchid]

Tank? Sorry…

[lusty slate]

Yeah, too cheap for me. I like working towards things

[lusty slate]

Tank = save up. Sorry, 90s slang. I'm in my 40s.

[gilded orchid]

Ok, like top off

[lusty slate]

More like hoard

[gilded orchid]

Like a dragon

[dense wave]

How long would these optional mile stones get done?

[lusty slate]

Where's the counter at currently? Still tier 1?

[toxic ore]

cus you breathe life into the universe pookie!

[dense wave]

Haha

[random zenith]

disclaimer this is not fact checked and could be wrong
some say red star systems have more airless planets 🤷‍♂️ i found mine there, could've been a fluke

[ripe summit]

I'll start checking red stars now thanks

[void cairn]

What are some good items to take on this expedition?

[ripe summit]

OMG THANK YOU

[random zenith]

honestly, personally bringing items to be sold for nanites was the nicest for me. 4k or thereabouts worth of suspicious arms/tech from a pirate station and you can buy your multitool and ship from the nexus
then maybe half a stack of ferrite dust to save time mining that. uranium/stack of launch fuel is nice too
some hydrogen is nice though, but that can be farmed easily as well

it goes so quickly when you have your spaceship with its fully upgraded hyperdrive and mining tool with upgrades
i brought (copper cadeium + green blue variants) that I definitively could've left behind

[random zenith]

anytime <3

[atomic estuary]

Afaik probability for dead biome is the same for any star colour in normal type galaxies (like Euclid)

[random zenith]

is airless just dead biomes?

😩

thank you kindly

[atomic estuary]

Yep, airless is a synonym for dead biome

One of the rewards is starborn runner, a ship

[void cairn]

I accepted some sort of an Ticket to Freedom invitation and I don't see a waypoint. What did this do, exactly?

[ashen shore]

Oooo the MT is in this one I've been wanting since i started

[blazing raven]

I'm on the Assembly Required mission from my main save. I have everything unlocked already as my main save has already done all that. The first step in the mission requires me to learn the Unstable Gel recipe, but I can not as its already unlocked. Anyone know a solution besides restarting the campaign?

[ripe summit]

You have to reunlock it

Unless I'm misreading this

[blazing raven]

I think you may be. In the expedition, I started it from my main character. The 3rd phase has a mission called Assembly Required. The first step is to unlock the recipe. I went to the computer to do just that, but it's already unlocked. I can't spend nanites to purchase it as it's already done. I tried building an Unstable Gel since I've already learned the recipe but it won't skip the first step to research the Unstable Gel recipe.

[solid horizon]

Woah. There's a rare flying rideable creature along the expedition route from 1st to 2nd rendezvous

[blazing raven]

@ripe summit I posted screenshots of the issue

[ripe summit]

Oh no that's unstable plasma unstable gel is on the other page

[blazing raven]

you hero

thank you

[ripe summit]

Np bro

[blazing raven]

must be the time lol

[open dagger]

Hummm... and for those who already know how to make from cactus? Any thoughts? Solutions before restarting the whole thing?

[solid horizon]

What's with the optional milestones?

[atomic estuary]

Don't post non-NMS media in NMS channels
@tribal iris

[balmy current]

at the risk of being the 1000th person asking this, are expedition reward ships special in any way? I heard about one having huge hyperdrive range

[gilded orchid]

How far away is rendezvous 2?

[dry spade]

I can't find an airless planet to photograph, I've been to more than a dozen systems and nothing. How rare are they?

[atomic estuary]

You are looking for dead biome, planets that have rusted metal as a resource listed on their info card

It doesnt necessarily have to say "airless". It's one of couple of synonyms for dead biome

They aren't particularly rare

[dusky oracle]

Thanks!

[atomic estuary]

Starborn runner can have a decent range

It doesn't differ that much from a normal ship in terms of stats

• it has a unique model (cockpit looks like fighter in 1st person, even tho ship is of exotic type)

• it can hover in planets atmosphere

• it comes preinstalled with special technology that buffs pulse drive, the photonix core (it can be packed and move to a different ship of you wish to do it). Photonix core cannot be aquired normally outside of coming with starborn runner

[balmy current]

hovering is huge

any other ship with unique stuff?

[atomic estuary]

In general expedition ships aren't super special, they have some quirks but aren't especially better then regular ships

Iron vulture from adrift expedition that will be rerun later can hover too

It can be taken a for parts, its a hauler and if you build a another hauler with ir9n vulture wings it'll hover too

[split moat]

Hello , what are The rewards for the Omega expedition ?

a hauler that can hover sounds amazing imo

[split moat]

Thank you !!

So i have this ship , i Guess i did The expedition before

So , if i repeat The expedition i Will get another 4800 quicksilver ?

[atomic estuary]

Pretty much

Yeah

I think you can get even more if you wait for the optional milestones

[spare parrot]

Through phase 1 and 2 and almost 3 (aside from base building. Which I hate)

[dense wave]

I know I'll be waiting for the optionals

[random zenith]

speaking of which... im clueless on how that works.
1: Can you scan everything on that planet and have it count even though the previous randevouz planets' objectives haven't been accomplished?
2: do you just scan everything/as much as you can and that's all there is to it?

[ashen shore]

Will returned expeditions like beachhead ever return if they’ve returned once already

[dense wave]

Yes

[atomic estuary]

So for the community research everyone has to contribute to finish them, you can't finish them by yourself

When community reaches certain threshold it'll complete and if you contributed to the goal you will be able to claim the reward, if you didn't untill then then you just have to scan couple of things on rendezvous planet to qualify for the rewards

As per specifically your questions.

1. Honestly I don't remember how it worked during the original omega, I just went and scanned things to qualify for the rewards when community completes the optionals :v

2. Yeah pretty much, you do your part, either bare minimum or fully commit or anything in between

[random zenith]

I see. Thanks!

[dense wave]

I hope pioneers gets a redux again soon

I hate I missed my gold ship-

Stage one is nearing the halfway point

Optional milestone to clarify

[fringe sierra]

So would it be safe to say I need to be connected to online services for this expedition

[atomic estuary]

generally yeah, I would say so. the community research for optional milestones requires a connection to Online discovery service, they are optional tho, you dont have to complete them to finish the expedition
ODS will still work even if your multiplayer is disabled

[fringe sierra]

We're there optional ones on the last two exp

I also tend to play in airplane mode fully disconnected. (Switch playin)

But I need more living ships which means more QS is needed so online I go

[open dagger]

Humm.. still have not figured out how to unlearn a recipe for Unstable Gell so i can complete this item - anyone else solved this when starting with an existing save?

[atomic estuary]

optional milestones were only in Omega and in liquidators

Liquidators had a community research too, We had to contribute by killing certain enemies. rewards were liquidators mech parts, when community unlocked them they were unlocked for everyone in quicksilver shop, even if they didn't do the expedition they could just buy them with quicksilver

[open dagger]

I do not believe you can skip one segment and still complete the final segment for the end rewards if you skip one - anyone know?

[fringe sierra]

I meean in the last 2 exp I completed nearly 3.5-4 phases before leaving the first system

O no u need to do all milestones

Sorry I missread

[open dagger]

So i cannot start from my existing save - fuzz... have to start all over or just skip this event

[fringe sierra]

O no u can

I'm confused

Skip what segment

[atomic estuary]

no, with exception of optional milestones, you have to complete all milestones to complete a phase and all phases to complete the expedition
They don't have to be done in the order presented to you, you can do them in any order

[open dagger]

I already know how to make everything including the gell so cannot use a save that knows the recipe

[fringe sierra]

What

That can't be right

[open dagger]

You have to learn a recipe for unstable gell - if you know it already you cannot complete this step

[fringe sierra]

I've bought recipes and then had them taught to me again

[atomic estuary]

when you start the expedition from an existing save its as if you started a new save, no recipes or blueprints transfer
Only things that transfers between primary and expedition are things that can be sent via the expedition terminus on the space anomaly

[snow ruin]

Uh, the expedition started from an existing save will still start you out as if it was a new save, it doesn't "inherit" the things you know in your main save

[fringe sierra]

Yea

[open dagger]

Oh wow, that is fantastic news!! Thank you so much for this

I was going to drown myself in cookies but now: Onward!! TYVM all!!

[atomic estuary]

Godspeed 🫡

[fringe sierra]

Could still drwon in cookies..... happily

Dannnng I could get almost 3 void eggs after this exp

[dry spade]

I found a downed sentinel interceptor, but I can't interact with it and it's not progressing my expedition. What's wrong?

[ripe summit]

Have you destroyed the sentinel frieghter? (The big boy)

[fringe sierra]

Ur supposed to aquire not destroy

[ripe summit]

Oh wait nvm you said found-

[fringe sierra]

Lol I missed found

Lmao

[dry spade]

Well it's a downed one, like the downed ships you can find and claim. I just fought sentinels until it gave me coordinates to it

[fringe sierra]

Yea yea ur good lmao I can't read

[ripe summit]

Same-

[dry spade]

No worries. Did I just get unlucky with it being bugged?

[ripe summit]

Perhaps, can you try reloading?

Also should I stay in the expedition for the optional milestones?

[dry spade]

Still broken after reloading

[fringe sierra]

Then find a new one

[quaint urchin]

Well, I did the best I could... I cannot find those last three minerals.

[fringe sierra]

Daaaaaaaaaaannnnng

Come on ppl

Find those minerals letttsssss goooooo

[fringe sierra]

Now go work on the other 4 lmao

[median goblet]

Can I get atlas staff with 4 square supercharged like before they nerfed it?

[ripe summit]

I guess it's time for me to go back to all the rendezvous planets and start scanning

[fringe sierra]

[left carbon]

guys any tips before starting omega expedition ?

[blazing fossil]

It was originally released as a tutorial expedition during free trial weekends so most of it is pretty easy/self explanatory

[left carbon]

i see

[ionic chasm]

Omg, I was struggling with the exact same thing. Glad I came and read this. Haha.

[ripe summit]

Tbh it took me a moment to figure out what I needed 😭

[sinful dust]

Does anyone have tips for this expedition?

[stray breach]

What is this expedition

What one is on rn

Omega

What one was that

[sinful dust]

Atlas stuff right?

[stray breach]

Oh I've done that one

Ye idk

Gives u the mad starborn runner thing

[sinful dust]

Just gives cosmetics i really want

[stray breach]

I want emergence rerun

[sinful dust]

How do i get the construction research unit?

[blazing fossil]

It's pretty easy as it was released as part of a free weekend trial period

[wraith junco]

U can get pets eggs for optional milestones i think

[blazing fossil]

Just talk to the base computer

[sinful dust]

So this one shouldn’t drag on for too long?

[blazing fossil]

Not really no

[sinful dust]

I find i get burnt out on the long ones

[blazing fossil]

It's also been shortened slightly becasue reduxes are only 2 weeks

[sinful dust]

I also really want the stealth paint but thats in two weeks

[wraith junco]

Maybe i will do a rerun just for runner photonix cores.

[inland rain]

This omega tutorial like phases really tire you out

[sinful dust]

At least the base building one basically gives you everything you need

[inland saddle]

is there any nanit farm in this expedition?

[sudden ether]

Question about expeditions : I suppose expeditions released before 2023 are likely not be run again?

[wraith junco]

Exp 2 Beachhead had rerun just now. Rewards from old expeditions can come back as twitch rewards. Hg also did expedition with mixtape of rewards from diffrent expeditions. So there is a chance for getting missed rewards in the future. But for the expeditions themself chances are lower. If u are on pc there is a mod that lets u play all expeditions.

[meager scroll]

Or you can use mods / save editors / service bot delivery to get the rewards directly

That is ofc depending on your platform

[feral scaffold]

Does the mod then unlock the items in the QS store?

[jagged sedge]

I'm kinda surprised the Devs didn't throw a fishing goal in the current redux

[wraith junco]

Yes. There is a mod for all qs items

[honest olive]

Guys if you keep the interceptor you get until the end of the expedition, you can copy it to your character for ~3000 nanites and sell for ~30m

After you’ve sold it, you can buy it back again

So if you got a few extra nanites and you’re really short on cash, that’s an easy way to spend them

Plus you can convert units into cash by using the outlaw stations

[honest olive]

Oh shoot I didn’t notice

To be fair I haven’t been around that long

[dense wave]

Hello interlopers

[honest olive]

Hello

[proper gazelle]

Do you have any tips on finding the interceptor? I have an echo locator and have been to 8 different dissonant systems but I’m coming up empty

[honest olive]

If you really can’t use it, you can always resort to killing a sentinel capital ship for the carrier ai fragment

[proper gazelle]

Thank you, I’m going to try one more system and then go for the carrier ai fragment

[honest olive]

Alright, best of luck

Try and get a infra-knife/ positron on your ship if you haven’t already

Makes those easier

[mortal marsh]

meanwhile me getting free carry

[wise meteor]

Hello, is there a list of what exactly is needed for the construct a base milestone in phase 1 of the expedition?

You can ignore that.... it finally popped up a message

[proper gazelle]

Sentinel capital ship worked, thanks again!

[feral scaffold]

How exactly does the community milestone work at the end of Phase 1? I've scanned a bunch of stuff but do I now have to wait around on he planet for it to reach 100% before I continue?

[remote thunder]

community research milestone, all players contribute; when goal is reached, milestone completes for all, all players can claim it and get its reward. not needed to progress on to the next phase

[feral scaffold]

Thanks bk201 🙂

[naive crypt]

If the dissonant planet is dead or exotic you won't find any Jabroni camps

[remote thunder]

exactly; iow, requires a inhabited (gek/korvax/vykeen) dissonant system with at least 1 dissonant planet that doesn't have rusted metal or gold in resource list, and it's not infested either

jabroni 😂

autocorrect does it again

[molten leaf]

Does anyone know where an airless planet is

[unique glen]

Are all the “redux” awards the same for Omega? I can’t recall. But I know I’ve done it already.

[elfin portal]

Look for any system that doesn't say it has water and warp to that system. I think those systems always have airless planets.

[molten leaf]

Thanks

[turbid lake]

how many biscuits does the exped want me to make?

I have 30 now

[naive crypt]

Okay, bring an advanced mining laser package with you

[cold tulip]

Red the mission log, i think it has to be a certain type

[turbid lake]

doesn’t say what type

just says prepare the ingredients

and then cook it

and I’ve done it like 59 times now

[gilded orchid]

I feel like I’m doing something wrong… never seem to get closer to rendezvous 2

[grim vortex]

So I went through the black hole as part of Phase 2. Will it be quicker to just teleport back to the Phase 1 base to reach Rendezvous point 2?

OR should I just start following the expedition path from wherever the black hole dumped me out?

Found my own answer. Warped to one of the many helpful player bases. 🙂

[gilded orchid]

Do they have a portal there?

I might need to do the same

[grim vortex]

Not that I see, but the bases are easy to find in the Space Station teleport list

[gilded orchid]

Cool

[wintry void]

You make the dough then add another ingredient like gek nip or star bulb or something

Only need 1

[median sparrow]

Is scanning all the fauna the only thing needed for the community research?

[feral scaffold]

Have you found one yet?

I found one in the galaxy I arrived at when I went through a blackhole

The planet was named by another player as AIRLESS which really helped...

[bronze solstice]

It adds some progress (minimal for each player) for every new thing you scan on said planets

[turbid lake]

Done it now, I had to cook 2 diff types of biscuits

[bronze solstice]

That's odd, you should only need to make one

[jolly fable]

how do you find the 8th extinct animal?

[bronze solstice]

To my knowledge, you cannot

Either that, or it would be in a data cache

[jolly fable]

Thanks, just didn't wanna search forever for nothing.

[bronze solstice]

Fair

[swift crane]

I'm having some trouble finding planet without atmosphere

[bronze solstice]

"Airless" based planets have the following names:

Terraforming Catastrophe
Dead
Empty
Desolate
Lifeless
Forsaken
Life-Incompatible
Low Atmosphere
Airless
Abandoned

Find a planet without most natural resources

Most have Metal Scrap/(Stellar Metal) as a major resource

[cold tulip]

Try on red stars

[feral scaffold]

I found one straight away after I went through a blackhole for that milestone

Have you been through a blackhole yet?

[tribal iris]

For research project 1, do i have to complete it or os that even possible?

Its at 89%

[bronze solstice]

Black Holes are completely random, it won't guarantee any form of planet or system

[bronze solstice]

It's the Community part, everyone has to contribute, you cannot complete it alone

[gilded orchid]

You don’t have to worry about it

Still complete without it

[tribal iris]

thx

[bronze solstice]

And yeah, that too

It and all other [Optional] Milestones (one per Rendezvous planet) are not required for Phase milestone rewards

[tribal iris]

The planet has that much stuff? I thought the nexus has missions where you have to do something like this but solo

[gilded orchid]

No, just a percentage of total players need to participate

[swift crane]

If I complete (and leave) expedition before these rewards become claimable do I have option to get them, or it's not possible?

[gilded orchid]

They will be available to collect in your main save at the anomaly Quicksilver vendor

[random zenith]

Do you see where those feats are tracked in game? I see the milestones (steps traveled, units earned etc), but nothing about ships :<

Can we preview our nanite earnings if we were to exit the expedition without actually leaving?

[swift crane]

Still looking for this one airless planet.... Normally I find them regurally, but when I want one I can't find it

[random zenith]

try dead planets, second

Terraforming Catastrophe
Dead
Empty
Desolate
Lifeless
Forsaken
Life-Incompatible
Low Atmosphere
Airless
Abandoned
source: #nms-expedition message

[bronze solstice]

Stay to Red Star system, they have the highest chance (with Blue's having second highest)

[random zenith]

in normal galaxies they're equal, also: #nms-expedition message

:)

[swift crane]

Are there any near meeting points, cuz it's getting anoying (I traveled through multiple (like 20) red star systems and still nothing)

[random zenith]

not sure, but the list should be bigger than just "airless", like the one just a couple posts above

abandoned, desolate, empty, dead, etc

[swift crane]

I know but I can't find any of those

[random zenith]

hm

i'll hunt with ya, shooting you an invite once i have one

[tiny gale]

24 hours and were at a 92% phase 1, went to bed last night it was at 35%

[swift crane]

Nah, I'll take care of myself

[bronze solstice]

Also, since I have already completed it and returned to my save, any idea if I will gain access to the optional phase stuff after they are completed?

[random zenith]

actually. in one of the expedition systems Apulang-Ersk there's an abandoned planet

[swift crane]

Thanks for info

[tiny gale]

what rendevous?

[random zenith]

juuust a second

[swift crane]

near 1 I think

[bronze solstice]

I wanna know specifically because I want the Sentinel Quad egg from the phase 4, but already hit the complete button

[swift crane]

abondoned don't count for this quest, just checked

[random zenith]

3!

[tiny gale]

ty

[bronze solstice]

I have an answer, I ain't happy though T^T

[random zenith]

thanks! @atomic estuary 💔 airless means airless, appreciating ya

[bronze solstice]

I have to set up another expedition save to be able to claim the optional rewards T^T

[tiny gale]

any planet with rusted metal as an item counts as airless

[random zenith]

@swift crane ^

[random zenith]

ty <3

[swift crane]

Thanks for info, now the only problem is finding it xD

[turbid lake]

will someone remind me when the research exped objectives are finished

[tiny gale]

are in/near rendevous 2 system

[swift crane]

Ok, I found one, red system called Rogopol-Irtz near expedition starting point, dead planet

[tiny gale]

Those looking for airless. Just south of rendevous 2 world. Red star. Planet called Swestle VIII- life incompatible planet

[elfin portal]

You can also jump to any system without water.

[random zenith]

how is there rust when there's no oxygen 😩

[tiny gale]

its just in teh game man, i dont make the rules or science

[random zenith]

yeye im just having fun

🏃‍♂️

[tiny gale]

its the holidays, my brains isnt braining- sorry

[random zenith]

you're alright

[mortal marsh]

can anyone give me rendezvous 3 gylph

[finite scaffold]

If I copied a ship for exped to use and upgrade and I want to return it to main save is it a second ship or does it replace the original?

[muted granite]

It should be possible to track rusted metal if you have encountered it before (or refined oxygen with ferrite). Should be a way to get contextual prompts if you’re in a system where it is present.

[wintry void]

Tier 1 complete

[random zenith]

pog!

[bronze solstice]

I seem to be stuck at the 99% on the tier 1 optional-

[elfin portal]

||Magic rust goblins||

[wraith junco]

Its unlocked now

For me at least

[elfin portal]

How's the tier 2 doing?

[wraith junco]

Just started

0%

[elfin portal]

I scanned a few things for the tier 2 before tier 1 finished so I hope it counts.

[austere meteor]

any airless planets near RD 4?

[gloomy lily]

Can anyone confirm that supercharged slots on atlas scepter and starborn runner are in the same spots for everyone?

[wraith junco]

They should be yes.

I think there was a way to reroll them tho

[hidden flame]

Just saw the announcment...so excited to get to do some of the expeditions that I didn't get to do!

[hidden flame]

It should...check the quest. You can do them in any order

[gloomy lily]

Just for my peace of mind - on a starborn runner there are two sc slots in the second column of the first two rows, right? Vertically adjacent

[acoustic jacinth]

Is there a Airless Planet anywhere in the Randezvous Systems?

[wraith junco]

[gloomy lily]

Expedition terminus says I have optional milestones not completed. Do I have to wait for them to complete before finishing the expedition? Don't want to miss the rewards

[wraith junco]

U can wait unitl others do their part.

[gloomy lily]

Ye, but do I have to? I mean if I complete the expo now I'll forfeit the rewards for the milestones not yet completed, right?

[low light]

If they aren't completed then they aren't completed, I'd imagine

You can complete all the other stuff without fully ending the expedition

[gloomy lily]

That's what I just found out just now. If I go back to the main save without completing the expo I can still claim all the rewards that I already claimed in the expo

It's transferring the items that has to wait until all the milestones are done

[gloomy lily]

Yes, the same for me too

[vast yacht]

Guys how to find airless planet?

[remote thunder]

look for any planet with rusted metal on resource list

make use of discoveries tab as you pass through rendezvous systems

remember that while you'll need to complete it eventually, you don't need to complete this milestone before moving on to the next milestone in this phase, or even onto the next phase's

[vast yacht]

Thank you, I'll give it a shot

[lapis forge]

Does copying ship/multitool just copy? Or are they further linked?

[remote thunder]

just copy

[lapis forge]

Thx

[hidden flame]

Thanks

"Airless" based planets have the following names:

Terraforming Catastrophe
Dead
Empty
Desolate
Lifeless
Forsaken
Life-Incompatible
Low Atmosphere
Airless
Abandoned
Find a planet without most natural resources

Most have Metal Scrap/(Stellar Metal) as a major resource

[random zenith]

Love ya
Is there any way to make more nanites at the end of the expedition through accruing/spending units?

[remote thunder]

@hidden flame , @bronze solstice to avoid having to remember all those synonyms, just remember this: rusted metal is dead biome's (aka "airless") native mineral; any planet with rusted metal in the resource list is a dead/"airless" biome planet

[random zenith]

Ships, freighters, just amassing units, anything

[hidden flame]

thanks so much!

[remote thunder]

find an outlaw system, buy sus packets tech/arms with units, unpack and sell upgrade modules for nanites

[bronze solstice]

Yeah, I did cover that, but thank you for stating it more noticeably, I tend to have trouble in englishing gooderestestly

[random zenith]

I see. Here I thought units earned/ships etc bought would help 😄 thank you as always! <3 (nanites get transfered to main save right during exiting the expedition right?)

[bronze solstice]

You gain more nanites at the end for

Discoveries
Gained Nanites
Sold Technologies

[random zenith]

oh wow

[remote thunder]

yep

[random zenith]

outlaw systems away!

[bronze solstice]

Yep! All spent nanites are negated (you will still gain the full amount earned total)

[remote thunder]

they get merged too if you don't spend them, just to be clear

[random zenith]

then um idk if it's known, but is it more efficient to buy/sell sus modules than to discover species/minerals?

[bronze solstice]

It's more worth to do technology selling for time/nanite ratios

[remote thunder]

depends on how lucky you get on rng unpack sus packets; if you get lots of hazard prot modules, that's 720 nanites each

[random zenith]

aha

[remote thunder]

remember that trade outposts in outlaw systems also sell sus packets

[random zenith]

yup

[bronze solstice]

And there are the rare chances of black market dealers landing nearby (they get marked on the rare occurances)

[remote thunder]

hmm, but with those you're buying modules with nanites

that i recall they only sell modules (+the odd one selling nipnip)

[bronze solstice]

They do sell contraband since the pirate updates

it's just most of their wares will be modules

[remote thunder]

interesting..

i'll be sure to check that out

[bronze solstice]

Yeah, they aren't usually useful for making money, but it's decent for if you need quick upgrades

[remote thunder]

this was primarily about sus packets tech/arms, not random illegal goods

(which nipnip buds is)

[bronze solstice]

Yeeah, I did kinda side track the discussion-

[remote thunder]

nah you're fine, just saying really

[bronze solstice]

Though you can destroy pirate ships for the suspicious packets, but that's a toss-up on what you get

[remote thunder]

yeah, thankfully contraband agent and trade terminals restock over real time

[bronze solstice]

Yeah, otherwise it'd be... quite annoying

[still junco]

i just need an exotic planet

[remote thunder]

any planet with gold on resource list

[still junco]

cool thx

[random zenith]

forgive the questions, but would you get more nanites from this than from doing the same in a main save?

something something double dipping

[remote thunder]

thing is, you can do nanite farming on any game mode at any time; for example, last time i did this, took me 10-15min to get about 30 sus packets tech/arms, opened about 12 of them, sold modules, got 7k nanites, and probably spent like less than 4M

imo, the thing worth running exp12 besides the phase and final rewards is the large quicksilver amount one gets

from milestones alone, including optionals, that's 10800 qs

[random zenith]

aha. so the expeditions have no mechanics where it's more efficient to farm nanites than in a regular save?

[random zenith]

hella neat amount

though.. if any amount of nanites spent is also recovered. couldn't one just buy S-class ship reactors, sell them for purchase price, repeat for infinite nanites?

I do appreciate all of your answers <3 can also appreciate that I'm asking many of em :kek:

[remote thunder]

well, but you're not getting that spent amount refunded immediately

you only get the "refunded", or to be more accurate, the bonus for spending nanites, on finish

[random zenith]

yes

should mention i don't know if you can even sell reactors to the merchant, or if you do so with a loss

[remote thunder]

wait

reactors

iirc they weren't showing up in a report recently

[random zenith]

since the nanites will be recovered at the end anyway I'll volunteer as tribute

[charred finch]

i hate this...9i can't find an airless planet to save my life

[random zenith]

try third randevouz, one second

yup third

it's got an abandoned one

[remote thunder]

any planet with rusted metal on resource list

[tiny gale]

I like how close rendevous 4 is to rendevous 2

should i use all thes MT modules to expand the sceptor while in expedition or wait til main save

[charred finch]

Well been 1h of touring the universe, and can't find any airless planet

[tiny gale]

where you at, what rendevous?

[remote thunder]

check rendezvous systems first..

discoveries tab

[random zenith]

@remote thunder reactors do indeed not show up when selling to the starship merchant, at least not on the same station

pulse engine upgrade does though

[remote thunder]

yeah, normal modules show up just fine

[charred finch]

i'm at Bezhgo-Zam

[tiny gale]

well if your near rendevous 2 or 4 systems(right next to each other). this might help #nms-expedition message

[lapis forge]

Man I’m struggling to find an airless planet. What are some names to look for from space?

[tiny gale]

see above

[remote thunder]

^ @lapis forge

travelers - whenever a milestone needs a specific planet biome, look towards other rendezvous systems first

even rendezvous systems still to come

do not "panic"

[tiny gale]

wouldnt let me skip the rendevous systems to look ahead, like I could not go to 3 if i hadnt gone to 2 yet

[random zenith]

didn't expect a hitchiker's guide to the galaxy qoute here 🏃‍♂️

[remote thunder]

well, yes.

rendezvous milestones really require a specific location

[pulsar helm]

is it a known bug that the black hole in the Tusynoya system doesnt work? i cant travel through it

[charred finch]

i had to log out and back in, then another appeared in a different system

[remote thunder]

no idea where that is; that said, disable multiplayer;

black hole system would be marked with ^

@random zenith, @bronze solstice i was almost sure there were more, but had to go and double check. we also get bonus nanites at the end of an expedition started from existing save with:

• purchased ships
• words learnt
• frigates recruited
  about purchased upgrades: bonus is a lot less than it was spent - i spent over 600 nanites, only got 150 nanites "back"

[random zenith]

thanks!!

aha dude you're awesome

there was a member here who showed them getting 130k nanites at the end of their exped from ships/frigates mainly

did the source mention if it's a set amount of nanites per ship/frigate, if it's linear or diminishing returns, anything along those lines?

[remote thunder]

sorry i don't know that much

[random zenith]

totally alright

[remote thunder]

1 frigate = 2k nanites

don't know if there's any diminshing returns but i could figure out

[tiny gale]

wait, we were supposed to get a freighter and frigates theis run?

[remote thunder]

no

[tiny gale]

oh whew

[remote thunder]

😄

[grave arrow]

Ok what plants and rocks could I be missing ive gotten just about everything even did o2 Na D, the alluring specimen,been in the caves been to the mountains,been to the forests been on the beach idk what else im missing

[remote thunder]

sorry, won't really be of much help here

it's basically mindless exploration

underwater caves, checked those?

[grave arrow]

I couldn't find any

[soft pumice]

hi. so this is the first time I started an expedition from anomaly. I've finished it, but I've not claimed my last reward as I am waiting for the community goals to complete. but what do I do at the end to take my stuff back into the main save? does all the quicksilver get carried back. how do you end the expedition ?

[grave arrow]

In the anomaly just like you started

Yes qs gets carried

[soft pumice]

so when i'm ready to claim the end reward, i go to the anomaly and end it from there?

[grave arrow]

If you want to be able to make an extra copy of the starboard runner id have that as your ship when you go to leave

[remote thunder]

1. can only edit expedition terminus inventory after you complete and claim all non-optional milestones, phase and final rewards
2. yes, but non-quicksilver quicksilver purchases are unlocked account wide
3. complete and claim all non optional milestones, phase and final rewards, goto expedition terminus, finish expedition

[cold tulip]

You claim them from the exp tab

And just finish on the anomaly

[soft pumice]

should i wait for the community rewards to complete before claiming the runner?

[remote thunder]

no need

[grave arrow]

I am

Kinda

[remote thunder]

@soft pumice if you want to get the optional community rewards or not though? claim everything you can, then pause/options/return to primary: that will leave expedition running

when an optional is completed, hop back in, claim it

save, return to primary again

repeat with other optionals as time goes on

[soft pumice]

oh so you can switch back and forth?

[remote thunder]

yes

[grave arrow]

Make sure whatever tool and ship you want to copy on main save is your main equipped when you leave

[remote thunder]

if any

[soft pumice]

gotcha. thanks. sorry. this is the first time I've done it from the anomaly. I typically start new. ok - so i will have the staff equipped and claim the runner before i leave it - thanks for all the help

[remote thunder]

may want to do multiple copies of runner for multiple photonix core tech copies

[grave arrow]

I can make multiple atlas scepters now hehehehe

[jolly fable]

can i get the bonus objectives on my regular save?

[remote thunder]

if it'll be like exp12's original run phase 2-5 optional milestone rewards are unlocked account wide when claimed, yes

[pearl nacelle]

We're redoing Omega now? Nice

That was my first expedition

[tiny gale]

ummm, is the space station at rendevous 5 empty for anyone else

[ripe summit]

Yeah it's abandoned

[tiny gale]

just making sure my game wasnt fubar'd

[ripe summit]

Nah you're all good 😭

I love the abandoned space stations they're so cool

[tiny gale]

too bad we cant make it our own

[lusty slate]

Oooh, I forgot about the photonix core. Might as well strip it and get another.

[turbid lake]

I’ve wanted that as a feature, making custom ones would be cool too

[wraith junco]

Meh. Cant transfer memory spheres to main save.

[grim vortex]

Once I've captured the Sentinel Interceptor, is there any reason to keep it? My primary ship is a better interceptor

[random zenith]

Is that module not counting towards the 'max three upgrades per tech' thingine?

[pearl turtle]

Man photo mode on Xbox is pretty scuffed

[remote thunder]

not if you don't like it - can find plenty of interceptors in your main save anyway

[grim vortex]

I was worried it might be required to complete the expedition. Thank you

[pearl turtle]

Managed to take photos of a frozen and hot planet by using the method of pressing the Xbox button, backing out and pressing A

Which has worked so far, until I tried doing the same on the Abandoned planet

Just won't work

[remote thunder]

pc user here, but try:

Consoles: enter photo mode, press the Xbox or the Create button on the controller, take/save screenshot.

oh same thing sorry

[pearl turtle]

NMS doesn't register the actual console taking a screenshot

[remote thunder]

until I tried doing the same on the Abandoned planet
does planet have rusted metal on resource list?

[pearl turtle]

On Tewke V, Third Rendezvous system

[pearl turtle]

Nope

[supple sedge]

then its not the right type of planet im pretty sure

[pearl turtle]

Probably

[remote thunder]

correct, not the right biome

abandoned synonym can also be used by barren biome (has cactus flesh on resource list)

[pearl turtle]

Makes sense

Any idea where to go?

[remote thunder]

rdv3 system Apulang-Ersk has such a suitable planet
