nms-expedition

[turbid steeple]

oh u can do that, i though it only unlocked once u completed the expedition

[solemn bane]

Well, there's a difference between completing it and ending it, heh. There's a phase between the two where you can hop back and forth sending items to your primary.

[turbid steeple]

do i have to end expedition for it to work? Cuz i cant deposite anything

[solemn bane]

In this state it means you haven't completed the optional milestones. You can either complete those or click end and it will put you in the transfer state.

[turbid steeple]

havent been able to find anyone to help me 😂

[solemn bane]

I just hopped in a ship on the Rendezvous 5 space station because the Anomaly was too buggy. But it's just 500 qs so no big deal.

[turbid steeple]

but how od i return to my primary now?

like without ending

[solemn bane]

If that's all you need to send you can just end it. If you had more than the slots allowed, you could switch to your primary via the pause menu (you always could)

[turbid steeple]

oh i didnt know u could do that thx

i thought u had those slots and thats it

[ashen shore]

wait how do u send stuff between the expedition and primary without ending the expedition

[solemn bane]

Finish all the milestones, collect all the rewards. After that put stuff in the terminal and switch to your primary save via the pause menu.

[ashen shore]

nice tu

[round panther]

to the traveller whos name i forgot.
i just offered to help with the tandem corvette mission. we left anomaly in my corv, aaand my game crashed.
am sorry T T

i hope you are well, out there

[lilac dagger]

They're probably still floating through space

[west moth]

Im pretty new and doing the expedition, i activated a resonator and found a crashed sentinal starship. Im being blocked by player bases from setting up anyway for me to return to it once i complete the expedition, is there any work around or is this just a tough lesson learned?

[faint mesa]

You can report the bases via quick menu, they will disappear for you

[west moth]

I did that but the local area is still uneditable unfortunately

Also disabled multiplayer

[faint mesa]

Tried save + reload after reporting and MP off?

[unkempt kraken]

@jolly island

No gifs in this channel please

[jolly island]

shaking with rage

[west moth]

Yeah that and going back to main menu hasnt worked

Well rip ig, lesson learned like I said

[faint mesa]

Oh, you were trying to set up your own base there?... I guess that wouldn't work indeed

Not even save beacon works? I'd be a bit surprised, but honestly, never tried myself

[west moth]

Yeah, im just gonna sum it up to me not being familiar with the resonator as an item, i thought it was a part of the objectives.

[left hull]

hi, i am new here

[west moth]

Hello

[faint mesa]

Oh, yep. For this expedition you only need to find that sentinel pillar and an harmonic camp if I recall correctly

[left hull]

I Just bought ps5, never used discord, iam just trying out,
is it ok to share some of my video links from youtube, about nms!

[west moth]

So the ship still has an uncompleted mission in my log so im hoping thats enough for the game to keep it there since its not the same occurrence as a regular abandoned ship finding

[solemn bane]

Problem with Sentinel ships in this expedition is most of the Dissonant planets you come across convert to non-dissonant planets when the expedition is over, so not only can you not claim any other ships on the expedition, most of the interceptors vanish.

[solemn bane]

Probably only if they are on-topic for the specific channel.

[stark whale]

self-promotion is not allowed here, but you can check out the pinned messages in #content-creator-corner

[solemn bane]

oof, welp, that ain't it

[atomic estuary]

!mute 1h 1043207021488517131 I explained to you we don't allow for self-promotion

[unkempt kraken]

@left hull (kardashev9980) muted for 1 hour.

[west moth]

What if I have a friend join my game, then once he's at the ship i load my main game location save then exit and join him

Seems pretty big brained

[solemn bane]

When you're on the expedition you can't interact with people who are not on the expedition, and if they are off the expedition they won't see the interceptor if that planet isn't a Dissonant planet outside of the expedition. You can throw a base down on the planet and hope it's Dissonant when you're done with the expedition, but chances are it won't be.

[west moth]

Well this is unfortunate, its 51million units, everything ive found up til now was 4 or 5

Ill call it growing pains lol

[solemn bane]

Oh, don't worry about that. Interceptors are all the hell over the place. The only issue is if you want THAT one. They're easy to get tons of.

[west moth]

Well thanks for helping/ informing, i appreciate it

[stable obsidian]

Any tips on freefalling milestone?

[solemn bane]

Pulse towards a planet, then fly down until you get the entering atmosphere message, jump out the back of your corvette and jet pack on the way down. Bring an Orbital Uplink so you can warp back to the space station when you hit the 60 seconds.

[young warren]

I just read this and experienced grave emotional damage.

[solemn bane]

Well, you did get a lot of units for everything you left behind 😆

[feral meadow]

i think i figured it out. i started the expedition when i was in a group with someone. as in someone else was a host. and we both started the expedition in the anomaly together. this created a new save file for me but the host is able to use their main save. so i guess to prevent this from happening in the future we need to start our expeditions individually, then only group up once we both are in an expedition save

[solemn bane]

What in the hell, lol

[feral meadow]

guess im gonna replay the first four phases. is okie. at least its pretty fun this time 😄

[split merlin]

How often do they release expeditions? I've completed the corvette one and I enjoyed going through it! 🙂

[feral meadow]

feels like every few months to me. you can check https://www.nomanssky.com/release-log/ to see the neat progress hellogames has done over the years 😄

[split merlin]

UFO styled starship (expedition 16). Man...sorry I missed that!!!

[feral meadow]

they tend to repeat expeditions so you might have a chance yet

[stable obsidian]

On phase 5 the explore the derelict one. You have to find all rooms? Do you need to get all the crew manifest and captain logs and all that? Just trying to finish the expedition quick😂

Its the last thing I have to do

[thick umbra]

No need to loot the boxes ..

All you need is to act with this 3 Terminals:
Records Terminal, Secure Mainframe, Engineering Control

[signal pier]

Anyone able to take me hitchhiking for the Expedition mission? 🙏

[stark basalt]

Id suggest you just stowaway on a ship at the anomaly. I tried helping someone get theirs last week.. it was rough getting it to work.

[slate rivet]

Anyone free to let me hitchhiking ?

i need additional quest complete

[lilac dagger]

Head to a rendezvous space station and hop on someone's vette

[reef valve]

or the anomoly.

[warm gyro]

If we buy the Corvette nodules that we don`t have at first go at the buildstation, the idea is really what ever I can affordm at the moment and upgrade later, at this station?

I got to the SS and was running around like a 1 legged man chasing his wife at a Mall.

[solemn bane]

Three reads and I am no closer to understanding what you are asking

[warm gyro]

That`s what "can be modified later" means? Can upgrade later?

[solemn bane]

You can modify your ship as many times as you like, yes

[warm gyro]

I just went and reread it, seems we can upgrade later, just make one now for exp right?

tyvm, sorry for the ramble.

I`m older than dirt and well, you see above lams. Thanks

[lilac dagger]

I'm pretty sure you can own 4 corvettes so you can make several builds

Maybe I'm trippin

[solemn bane]

I think you do indeed be trippin. Should be able to own up to 12 per save.

Only one can be made/owned in this expedition, though.

[lilac dagger]

12 corvettes?? Omg

Corvette heaven

[warm gyro]

Trying to make the Corvette here. I can`t get the cockpit to stick, it stays red. One places the cockpit first?

[solemn bane]

Nope. Place a habitation module landing gear, then a habitation module.

[warm gyro]

Ahh thankee kindly. Been gone a while and cant remember the "subtle" clues. Ill git er done, tyvm

[tired kettle]

Hey guys, I have a question, since this is my first expedition 🙂 I played through it all now. Does it make sense to stay in the expedition for any reason? Or should I just go back to the main save?

Also: When I return to the main save, do I keep the Covette? 😄

[near bison]

You can transfer your corvette from the expedition to your main save via the Expedition Terminal aboard the Anomaly (once you go back to main save). It does cost nanites though.

Same with your multi-tool

[hazy sparrow]

Anyone else having issues with this expedition where interactions stop working? I had one instance where the ramp would not lower, and another where the E prompt to pick stuff up would not show up. Thank goodness for autosave restoration, but still.

[wide totem]

Noooo I have to run this entire expedition today since I dropped my game pass plan down two tiers

[hazy sparrow]

There's a guide on Reddit for running it fairly quickly

[wraith junco]

I done it in like 5h. Dont need to do optional tasks imo.

Check pins for tips

There are probably already guides on youtube

[wide totem]

I feel crazy, but how do I grow plants in my corvette?

[solemn bane]

Build the.. uh, growing wall thingies (in the build menu while in your corvette), then once you have the plant recipes (the milestone reward calls them "seeds") you can plant them in those wall units (also using the build menu). I recommend Frostwart as it grows the fastest (12 minutes in this expedition).

[wide totem]

How long does gamma weed take?

[solemn bane]

More than 12 minutes. You can google the grow times and divide by 5 for this expedition.

[wide totem]

Oh jeez, no thanks. I guess I need to go grab some frost stuff

Is there anything else time based in this expedition?

[lavish steeple]

I mean...the expedition itself.

Really...everything.

It's all time based.

[solemn bane]

No.

[lavish steeple]

Y'know...16 minutes and all.

[wide totem]

Now to find a lush world

[solemn bane]

Any world with Star Bulb listed as the plant.

[wide totem]

I don’t remember, what are all the descriptors a lush planet can have

Nvm

[regal nexus]

can players gift/trade rewards from older expedition i kind of new but there are some cosmetics i really want but cannot get anymore 😄

[wide totem]

No

However at the end of the year usually they remix old expeditions

[solemn bane]

Some rewards (namely, items), yes. Not cosmetics. There's a bot out there that can give them to you but it requires a Patreon sign-up for limited free "deliveries"

[regal nexus]

ohh oki thanks, so friends and such cant gift me ( outlaw cape, sputtering starship trail or deep sea armors) ?

[solemn bane]

Outlaw cape no, deep sea armors no, but they can make a sputtering starship trail, package it and give it to you.

[regal nexus]

ohh really nice then i need to find someone who has it it's all the way back to expidition 6 xD

any trade community between players in NMS anywhere?

[solemn bane]

#nms-lfg-or-trades would be my guess

[regal nexus]

ohh thanks missed that

[wide totem]

How do I star dive?

Never mind

[fair dagger]

where do I find more thrusters? the thruster pack I got from one of the milestones wasn't enough for me to finish the advance move milestone 🙁

[solemn bane]

Buy them from the corvette builder terminal or dig up more scrap.

[fair dagger]

ok thanks 🙂

[fair dagger]

how long does it take for an extreme weather event to end?

[wintry orchid]

OK stupid question I can't seem to find any habitation modules. Can I buy them from somewhere?

Ohhey there's a "purchase modules" button disregard

[fair dagger]

how long does it take to complete a derelict freighter?

[wintry orchid]

20-30 minutes.

15 if you yolo

45 if you're drunk

[fair dagger]

lol

[solemn bane]

A few hours if you're really drunk

[strong coral]

anyone down to help me with current expedition? new to game and tryng to have fun

[fair dagger]

I finished the derelict freighter for whatever reason the quest reset but oh well I finished the milestone which is what I had wanted

alright time to finish the expedition how do I send my newly built corvette over?

[frozen laurel]

From the terminal in the Anomaly, pay with nanites (~2500)

[solemn bane]

(After you're back on your primary save)

[fair dagger]

ok so anything I don't put in the cargo thing in the terminus gets nuked including the corvette parts in the storage terminal right?

[warm gyro]

Is an accessway the access rampo thing I put on my corvette? Cant finalize until I add an Accessway. I dont see that anywhere

[solemn bane]

It gets sold. Worth noting you can put items in there and switch back to your primary save via the pause menu so you can collect items multiple times if you have a lot of stuff to send and not enough slots.

[fair dagger]

ok thanks I'll do that before ending the expedition glad I asked lol

[solemn bane]

Like the entrance in the back? Yeah you need one of those, and I think it needs to path to the cockpit.

[warm gyro]

Ohhh maybe thats the rub cw its on the back. I`ll try that. I have no idea where my starting crap ship is but I can bring it to the anomoly yes?

Oh, once finalized I can move it to the back again?

[solemn bane]

No, you have to swap the starter ship for your new corvette

[solemn bane]

I can't really visualize what you're asking about, so I'm not sure what you're having issues with.

[fair dagger]

time to officially end the expedition what a long journey that was hope to never do it again

[solemn bane]

I've done it seven times so far, lol.

[fair dagger]

yeah I couldn't imagine, I wouldn't've bothered doing the expedition if there was no guide tbh lol.

[warm gyro]

NM the corvette question. Once swapped the corvette is my primary atm yes?

[solemn bane]

It's your only ship, and the only one you can have in this expedition.

[warm gyro]

Thankee very much cw. I see the pinned stuff you have tons of info there. Thanks for the patience. It`s hard getting old, harder being obsolete hehe. Cheers

[solemn bane]

Don't worry, y'all are my free ride to dopamine city.

[wanton terrace]

what happens if I use a black hole in the expedition?

[solemn bane]

You die.

Nah you just get warped far away. You'll need to take a space station teleporter back to a Rendezvous space station to get back on track.

[wanton terrace]

so, really no reason lol

I still need to do the derelict freighter

[solemn bane]

so, really no reason lol

Nah. A couple expeditions had a milestone to take a black hole and SO many people got lost because of it.

[wanton terrace]

makes sense

[proud kernel]

Need a partner for Zero, One expedition achievement anyone available?

[solemn bane]

You can use the Sentinel Boundary Map to find a Sentinel Pillar and disable the sentinels by interacting with the console

[proud kernel]

You buy that with navigation data?

[solemn bane]

You get one as a reward from a previous milestone.

[proud kernel]

@solemn bane grock i'll go dig

@solemn bane found it thanks for pointing it out

[north crown]

Im on my way again in my first Expedition ever, so does someone wanna help?

[dreamy juniper]

You can say that again

[rose finch]

In the expedition, is it not possible to claim starship though nanites?

[hazy sparrow]

I was not able to. I have not been able to claim crashed ships either.

[rose finch]

it seems normal ships are disabled in this expedition

[lilac dagger]

That is correct

You can only fly your corvette

[solemn bane]

Specifically only the corvette you make. No other ships, no other corvettes.

[fickle lion]

If you still need help hmu

[true bronze]

Man, learning that a corvette can hover, that you can scan for stuff from it without landing, jump out, teleport back in....this is like a completely new game

[hazy sparrow]

What is the best way to transfer all those corvette pieces you get back to your main save? Build a Frankenvette?

[solemn bane]

You can also teleport down with the left button, which is faster. Also once you mark the salvageable scraps you can shoot them from your ship so you don't have to get out.

[solemn bane]

I've done that, but I've also just put items in the terminal, switched to my primary save from the pause menu, collected them from the terminal, then switched back to the expedition via the terminal and repeated (three times, I went kinda crazy collecting on my last run).

[hazy sparrow]

I am hesitant to do that, ever since the Omega expedition trashed my discovery data due to me hopping back and forth. Starting from Eissentam and switching back each weekend may have compounded it. I keep backups of my saves, though, so I can always try again or recover.
But the last few expeditions have gone off without a hitch, so I may try it.

[true bronze]

I didn't realize the red button did anything because nothing pops up when I look at it, unlike the handle on the right.

[earnest belfry]

Do any of the recent Expeditions use the "Explore Extreme worlds on foot" type of milestones? I know Expedition 1 has it when Steam players are replaying using the archived json file but I wondered if it was ever done since then.

The reason I ask is that Voyager has unintentionally allowed an exploit for that type of milestone that nullifies the challenge... steps taken INSIDE a Corvette while hovering on an Extreme planet count for the milestone. If it was never done again then I probably won't report it to the Zendesk but if it pops up occasionally then I will.

[earnest belfry]

That red button should have a hover tooltip. Be aware that it can be "blocked" by structures directly below you. Crashed Freighters are a bit of a pest in that regard, causing you to back off a bit.

[azure rover]

can someone help me get hitchhiking im on the 5th rendezvous station rn

[toxic salmon]

Can we trade for higher numbers of a paricular corvette part?

[solemn bane]

Yep. Whatever buttons you use to increase items counts you can use on the parts list screen. For example on PC when I am hovering over a part I can press q for fewer, e for more. I don't think the number shows anywhere though, so you have to wait til you click and see the trade screen before you see how many you're trading for.

I discovered this on my seventh run, lol.

[toxic salmon]

Peak game design. 12 out of 10.

[faint mesa]

Ohhh dear lord. Not sure if that's intended, but I sure hope it is lol.

Will make getting those thermal grille caps easier...

[toxic salmon]

Is there any optimal ratio figured out for parts? Like 1:10 or something?

[solemn bane]

I think it varies based on the part wanted and the part offered. Maybe even the space station, who knows. Sometimes I could get 7 dinky parts for a torpedo launcher, sometimes I needed to add more stuff.

[toxic salmon]

Good for variety, not ideal for the actual gaming :/
I am half-inclined to switch to creative for building my corvette, but I don't wanna lose achievements

At least while waiting and going back and forth, I got an exotic starship

[cunning lagoon]

gonna be rushing this one lads, anything i can bring aside from the standard stuff to help with milestones?

[solemn bane]

200 Dioxite and 400 Frostwart could get you the plants a little faster. Then some warp fuel unless you're good about getting hyperdrive upgrades. Or, well, I guess just hyperdrive upgrades.

Everything else they give you really.

[cunning lagoon]

thanks man

also thanks for all the tips in pins, very helpful

[hazy sparrow]

A hyperdrive module and a few ship expansion modules would have helped slightly. Uranium and gamma root for launch fuel and growing the gamma root.
The big thing I like bringing now is tainted metal for quickly generating nanites for getting my multitool. Fungal mold works also but generates at a slower rate. Money was no problem, though it makes buying corvette parts easier.

[solemn bane]

FYI Gamma Weed takes 4x longer to grow than Frostwart.

Though in this expedition, plants grow 5x faster, so it's not as big a deal.

[hazy sparrow]

Ah true. Going by the walkthrough guide, I thought you had to grow gamma weed, but I guess the walkthrough said gamma because it was on a nearby planet. Good clarification, thanks.

[lavish steeple]

I have started the weed farm.

I mean NipNip farm.

[ashen shore]

Is there anyone here who’d like to do the expidition together? I always play solo would like to see how fun it it with others.

[rain pollen]

Hey there explorers, I’m fairly new to NMS and haven’t done an expedition yet. I have collected tons of corvette parts during normal play and even have my exosuit inventory maxed (I have about 200 hours in my main save), so I was wondering if this expedition is even worth it (do you get any unique rewards, for example I saw a space station teleportation device in a YT tutorial), and if the expedition is therefore worth doing, is it best to do it on your main save file (after backing up my AppData/Roaming…/st_XXXXXXXX save folder) or does the expedition sort of force you into a new save and reset you to a fresh start? I saw at the Anomaly that you could do a loadout for the expedition. I also have seen some issues on transferring the expedition Corvette into your main save, so any suggestions to make this smooth and stress free would be greatly appreciated!

[lavish steeple]

Fairly new with 200hr. Lol.

[solemn bane]

Yeah it's fun. Start it from your main save and you'll get to send stuff back to it when you're done.

[warm gyro]

Can I use my first cobbled together lol, Corvette for all the Expedition?

I`m not much on building ships and such:(

[solemn bane]

It's the only ship you can use.

[warm gyro]

tyvm dang I just can`t remember that tidbit:( thankee kindlee A mind is a terrible thing to waste

[sharp grotto]

sometimes i fall into- wait

there IS nms on the switch?

what am i doing in the expedition channel-

[turbid vapor]

Hi!
I'm new here and want to try expedition. I never done expeditions before - what should I take in?

[dim salmon]

The expedition provides everything you'll need to complete it. Bringing a bit of basic materials can save you some time though

Oh, bringing some storage augmentation could help though, jumpstart your corvette inventory.

[rain pollen]

I'm assuming they take the ship storage augmentations and not the freighter cargo bulkheads, right?

[vapid breach]

[lethal torrent]

hey so im a little lost, how exactly do we install the pirate scanner or the emergency warp module?

[lilac dagger]

You'll get them as a mission rewards for a previous mission and then you just install it like a module

[lethal torrent]

but I cant the corvette doesnt have any open tech slots?

[solemn bane]

Either remove the parts that are adding tech or package your non-corvette tech and install the stuff you need temporarily.

[solemn bane]

Also this:

12. You can expand your corvette's tech slots by removing as many parts that cause tech modules to appear in the tech slots as you can, filling your tech slots up with any cheap tech modules, then putting all your corvette parts back on. This will expand your tech slots permanently.

[hazy sparrow]

Wait, adding corvette parts automatically adds a tech slot to the ship if they are all full? If so, wish I had realized that earlier in the expedition lol.

[brittle parcel]

Hi im looking for help with unlocking the rewards in the expedition

[turbid vapor]

What is the reward for an expedition if I can't keep my 'vette?

[wraith junco]

U can? I fought u can transfer last used ship to main save

Rewards are base parts ,trails , pet, gun tech

[turbid vapor]

Ah ok, ty

[brittle parcel]

I have completed phase 1 need help with the rest

[solemn bane]

If you're stuck just tell us where and someone can usually help.

Okay thank you

[hexed ravine]

About to embark on my first ever Expedition. But question regarding that. Is there a way to do previous expeditions?

I missed out on getting the hardshell body for the mech etc and would like to have a chance to get them

[faint mesa]

If you are on PC, you can use a little mod for that. Check cwmonkey's profile #nms-expedition message

[hexed ravine]

But without mods, its not a possibility right?

[faint mesa]

Aside from the reruns HG usually do by the end of the year, nope, I'm afraid

[hexed ravine]

Ah

[faint mesa]

They usually just rerun the ones from the current year though

You know its an optional mission?You may also ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[brittle parcel]

Ok i will when I get back on

[solemn bane]

Also you can sneak onto someone’s ship. The Anomaly was too buggy for me so I did it in a few tries on the Rendezvous 5 space station. I used the Anomaly teleported to get there.

Now that I think about it, I bet the first station (Killur VII) may be better since everyone will be building simpler corvettes.

[hexed ravine]

Okay so...

how the heck do you get credits to buy corvette parts?

you cant repair your ship

you cant get off the space station either

[blazing fossil]

You get a set of default corvette parts from one of the earliest milestones

[hexed ravine]

how do I check if I have them?

[blazing fossil]

Make sure you’ve claimed all milestones you’ve finished

Then just go into the corvette builder

[pseudo gate]

SOS....I need help finishing the expedition, I would appreciate anyone will to help assist me complete under there noses and fast scramble, these two missions I just cant seem to figured out how to complete. Please help, thanks 😆

[thick umbra]

wrong 🙂

[solemn bane]

Under Their Noses, you buy items with purple text under them from the vendor in the back of a pirate station.

[solemn bane]

Fast Scramble, you build the emergency warp tech and use it in space from the quick menu

[pseudo gate]

Im dont have the ability to see pirate systems

[thick umbra]

Under the nose .. visit a Pirat system and buy black market stuff .. sell that on a normal SpaceStation
Fast Scramble .. you should have that emergency warp .. you could do that if you want to leave that pirat system

[pseudo gate]

I've been looking on the solar map, but dont see them

[solemn bane]

Build the conflict scanner (you get the recipe from a previous milestone), look at the galaxy map and go to a system with a skull on it.

[brittle parcel]

All good I have finished the expedition

[pseudo gate]

Trouble is, I dont see the ability to create the conflict scanner

[solemn bane]

Make sure you finish the previous milestones. It'll be built from your ship's tech area

[pseudo gate]

Advance destroy, completed but I dont think I received the reward

Is it possible the expedition is bugged?

[solemn bane]

Possible but I'd say not likely. Post a screenshot of what you can build from the tech section of your ship

[pseudo gate]

Are you talking about from the workshop or inside the ship?

[thick umbra]

Your ship tech

[solemn bane]

The tech module section, the top section above the items you have in your ship.

[solemn bane]

Yes now build the conflict scanner in that top section. You'll need to delete or package something to make room, you don't need the trail in the bottom row.

[livid lagoon]

How did u even open the game....?

[pseudo gate]

Thank you so much for your help. This will definitely help me complete the expedition. I cant thank you enough

[quick plaza]

anyone wanna join me for this expedition?

i will add im not new to the game but if anyone is and wants to learn i can teach you if you want to learn

[strong otter]

The last optional milestone is completed how? After the expedition is ended?

[solemn bane]

Go to a space station you haven't been to before and talk to the console in the back like you did for the other milestones.

[pseudo gate]

Shouting, what platform are you playing on

Shountai

[strong otter]

Got it. Thank ya!

On to the derelict freighter and then I’ll be 100% finished

[alpine hemlock]

Hey, I'm trying to do the expedition quest to ride someone else's ship and I'm having some bad luck with some mean players so I'm just wondering if someone will join later tonight?

[solemn bane]

fwiw I ended up doing it on the Rendezvous 5 space station since the Anomaly was too buggy for me. Might also want to try the first space station (Killur VII) since I'm guessing there will be more people and simpler corvettes

[alpine hemlock]

Alright I'll try that

[alpine hemlock]

Thanks!

[halcyon elbow]

Anyone on Steam want to group to complete the One, Zero milestone?
Have to eliminate the 5 waves of sentinels.
Also need to hitchhike on someone’s corvette ship!

[solemn bane]

FYI One, Zero can be done with the Sentinel Boundary Map you got in the previous milestone. Just go there and interact with the console.

[halcyon elbow]

Does it negate having to clear the 5 waves?

[solemn bane]

yep

[halcyon elbow]

Oh thank you

[dreamy raven]

Hi there. I am very new to NMS, about 70 hours in, and my friend is even newer. They would like to know, regarding the Corvette expedition, if they can keep the corvette they've built if they don't complete all the phases/mandatory steps. (Granted they will not get step/phase rewards; they understand that part. Just not sure about the ship.)

[solemn bane]

Yeah they will be able to keep the ship. If they started from an existing save they can purchase it for nanites. If it's a new save you just get to keep it.

[dreamy raven]

Thank you!

Is it a ton of nanites? Just so I can prepare them.

[solemn bane]

Depends on the tech installed I think. I wanna say between 2,500 and 7,000

[dreamy raven]

ty

[reef valve]

so what galaxy is the current expedition in?

[solemn bane]

Euclid.

[reef valve]

anyone have a map of the systems the expedition is plotted through? freind of mine is trying to see if one of the planets he landed on is dissonent in the normal version.

[solemn bane]

Of the starter and rendezvous systems, I believe the only Dissonant system outside of the expedition is the starting one (Killur VII). Glyphs are in the pins.

[reef valve]

ahh that will help..

yeah i told him that not all the planets will be dissonet..

[reef valve]

well well lucky us the ship was in the 1st system

[hoary sapphire]

can someone help me with the stardiving milestone it doesn't work

[solemn bane]

Pulse to a planet and fly down until you get the entering atmosphere message. Stand up, jump out the back of your ship and jet pack all the way down. Take an Orbital Uplink so you can quickly return to the space station when you hit the 60 second mark.

[hoary sapphire]

how do u get a orbital uplink

[solemn bane]

Make it.

[hoary sapphire]

oh ok

[chilly junco]

Hello all, pretty new to NMS, and jumped straight into Expedition 19... Now I've got all this new, cool stuff, and I'd like to know how to maximize what I can take back to my main save. I watched a couple of videos, one had no explanations, and the other was from a previous expedition so not sure how helpful they were... at any rate, Id like to take as much loot/credits/nanites/quicksilver as I can, and not lose the Exo suit, corvette and multitool I got from the expedition... Thank you!

[exotic oar]

Yo, anyone want to give me a quick corvette ride for the expedition achivement?

[solemn bane]

All your currency will follow you back, plus extra for certain accomplishments. Once you are able to put items in the expedition terminal, you can put most stuff in there (no eggs), and if you have to much you can return to your primary save via the pause menu, get the stuff out of the terminal, then return to the expedition via the terminal. If you don't have more stuff that the terminal allows you to send, you can just put what you want in there and end the expedition.

While on your primary save, you can also copy your ship and multitool for nanites if you want. This will be available until the next expedition starts, so you can use the nanites you earned on the expedition to copy your ship/tool back once you have ended the expedition.

[solemn bane]

FYI I did this by stowing away on the Rendezvous 5 space station since the Anomaly was too glitchy for me. I have a theory the first space station at Killur VII would be easier.

[chilly junco]

Do you recommend selling all the elements then, since they can be easily recovered? Do I need to take any of the upgrades off the exosuit/starship/multi tool or will they all be there when I copy them back to the primary save? What happens to all the stuff in the corvette workshop cache?

[solemn bane]

Oh sorry, forgot to mention anything in any of your inventories (including workshop cache) is automatically sold once you end it.

[solemn bane]

All tech is lost, so you can package it and send it back. However all tech on ships and multitools will be copied over if you copy them with nanites.

[chilly junco]

OK, so package the tech on the exosuit and take it with, the tech on the ship and multitool will copy over if I pay for them.

[solemn bane]

Yep.

[chilly junco]

Cool, thank you. I just didnt want to do it wrong, or miss a step and lose stuff. I hate it when that happens. 😜

Do you know how many nanites is needed to copy the ship and mulitool?

[solemn bane]

Depends on the tech and class. I remember copying a ship for 2,500, and my last ship cost me 7,000. Multitool will probably be less.

[chilly junco]

OK, I 've got 6500, hopefully thats enough

[solemn bane]

You'll get more

[chilly junco]

Ah, the ship and or multitool will be available for a while?

[solemn bane]

Yep, until the next expedition. But this expedition gives you so much I'm pretty sure you'll be able to copy them right away. My 7k ship was pretty loaded.

[chilly junco]

👍 Thanks for all the help! Appreciate it!

[young warren]

My regular save is a class C...
So sad I can not bring this back.
Also so sad it's only two letters away from Dead Space (delete duplicate s at the front and replace the last s with an r) .

[clever sail]

Can we not transfer our duder to our original save?

I'll have to remove everything and start brand new then

[solemn bane]

You will be able to copy your ship for nanites when you're on your primary save, if that's what you're asking.

[swift rock]

So, can we transfer freighter to the main save?

[soft socket]

Why can’t I find a pirate system 😭😭😭I have the economy scanner on my ship

[leaden jay]

This might be a very basic silly question, but I've never done an expedition before. If I start one with a new save, will any of the rewards spill over into .. my main save?

[leaden jay]

Ah, I guess this anwers my question as well. Should've scrolled first, sry

[thick umbra]

#bot-spam message

[barren sage]

just a quick question, when was the last expedition on the Nitendo Switch ( Not Switch 2) version and what do expaditions give you?

[wraith junco]

Relics expedition. 4.06.25

Living stone armor, basilisk staff mt

[young warren]

They may be asking about the egg. That also can be gotten for nanites from the Anomaly

[young warren]

Nope, that's why I am going to be sad.
I need to pump up my numbers in main save and get lucky since in main save I have never seen one better than A class. I assume if I ever was lucky and ran into an S I liked I will need to have massive creds on hand.

[swift rock]

So sad, rly, but dont worry cause to get an S class a little bit easier than you think

I got S class freighter (pirate) with 3 SC together randomly in expedition yesterday, so i understand your pain

[young warren]

Yes, it just feels like a grind. I know RNGesus will one day smile upon me.

I have only little time for playing.

[swift rock]

Same, two weeks ago opened this beautiful game, but now i read a lot about it

[livid hornet]

As someone with no friends on NMS and online social anxiety, how do I go about getting the hitchhiker achievement? Or is it better to just forego the cake award?

[pure spoke]

I personally didn’t bother with it but if you are a completionist you may be able to find someone here that could help you out

[leaden jay]

So this is a bit of a rough start. Left the planet. On a station. "Build a Corvette" is the next goal, but it says I need to claim the rewards of Link to the Stars first. Which I don't know how to do

[leaden jay]

Okay. That's .. entirely unintuitive and never explained, but I can click on things in the "Expedition" tab and that magically gives me rewards.

Now, everything is full of Sentinels here. Is that a common theme for the the whole expedition? Because then I might just drop out at the start, that's not fun/worth my time

[simple raptor]

yeah everythings aggressive or dissonant sentinels to fit with the expedition's lore
but you can do almost all of it with only like dissonant planets and avoid annoying aggressive sentinels

[wanton frigate]

you don't need to talk to anyone or join voice chat, assuming that's even an option. Just go to the Anomaly and board someone's corvette. You can try to hide but it's impossible. I know from bitter experience. There's a dot on you they can see through walls and from miles away. Anyway, board and then refuse to get out 😄
At worst you'll need to do a thumbs up gesture.
Apparently you can also get this if you - over a couple of iterations - get on top of someone else's ship and ride it out of the launch tube as far as it will let you. Racks up a few Us each time.

[solemn bane]

You can also do it on space stations. I did it on the Rendezvous 5 space station since the Anomaly was too glitchy for me. I have a theory the first space station (Killur VII) may be better since it'll be smaller corvettes and theoretically more people.

[hazy sparrow]

You have to manually look for pirate systems, the conflict indicator just lets you see them. From the galaxy map (where you warp), right click to go into freelook mode and look around for a system with a skull mark by its name.
Near Resist 5 is a yellow star system named "Infamous", I used that one. Defeat 5 pirate fighters once you are there for the milestone.

[hazy sparrow]

A suggestion for everyone looking to do Hitchhiker:

• turn on multiplayer (duh I know, but many of us leave it off most of the time)
• all go to Resist 5 system station. Yes, I know you don't have to be in the same system, but it might help.
• take off and summon the anomaly if it's not already there.
• land on the anomaly and see if another player shows up. If not, take off, resummon, and land again. Hopefully you will meet someone and can take turns flying around the anomaly until you get the 10k.

[solemn bane]

I was lucky to ever see a full ship fly in to the Anomaly, lol.

[hazy sparrow]

Yeah, I figure it's rare, but trying that might increase the chances maybe.

[solemn bane]

Just too much for my piddly computer, that's why I used the space station instead

[neon osprey]

question for the milestone "Advance: Move" which modules do i add to my ship to make the number go up?

[solemn bane]

Thrusters

Even if you're at "max"

[worthy horizon]

Hey folks,
Anyone have any tips on how to complete the "shut down all sentinel forces" milestone?

[faint mesa]

Check pins. Good info there.

[worthy horizon]

Thank you

Checked pins, but could not find info there 😩

[solemn bane]

Use the Sentinel Boundary Map and shut them down via the console

[worthy horizon]

Okay. Will try.
Any tips that might help with that? Gear, strategy, etc.?

[solemn bane]

it's easy

[worthy horizon]

Okay thx

[worthy horizon]

How do i land on a derelict freighter with my corvette? It wont let me use the landing pads

[solemn bane]

The blue hologram circle things on the side should turn green and you can use your landing button.

[worthy horizon]

Okay thank you

[livid hornet]

Well ... this is how I got Hitchhiking accidentally. I was on a redezvous station and was looking for inspiration in the corvettes there. My game glitched out while I was on board and the screen faded to white with an occasional moving "loading" icon on the bottom right. A few minutes later, I hear a warping sound and then the milestone music (which was the entire fanfare because I had everything else done). I waited a couple of minutes, screen still white with the "loading" icon, and decided to kill the game. Restarted, and milestone was already completed.

Thanks to @pure spoke, @wanton frigate, @solemn bane, and @hazy sparrow

[solemn bane]

lol, sounds very No Man's Sky

[modern willow]

Why can't I input the glyphs in this harmonic camp? is it because someone else was at the same one and them doing it counted the terminal as "lifted"? I want the multitool but it's not letting me claim it cuz I didn't do the terminal, should I try reloading my game?

Okay nvm, saving and reloaded fixed it!

[chilly junco]

Is there a list somewhere of the corvette modules and their trade in value? I'm trying for advanced parts, but none of the modules I have available to trade have much value.

[solemn bane]

Weapons are pretty beefy. Main components like that will probably be worth more than the just-for-show components.

[chilly junco]

So if I buy a few basic weapons systems, they'll be worth more in a trade?

[solemn bane]

I was getting like 5-6 decoration parts for each core component. Sometimes I'd need to bump it up a big.

[solemn bane]

Can't trade the stuff you can buy.

[chilly junco]

Oh, that's bogus... Thats why not all the stuff in my workshop shows up in the trade window. 😛

They really want you go ssearch for parts, eh?

[livid hornet]

I started this expedition from my other save (i.e., from the Anomaly terminal). What happens to the Quicksilver I earned from the multiplayer milestones when I end the expedition? I'm getting mixed answers from the 'net, though I think it might be people starting new saves vs. old saves.

[livid hornet]

build a junker and go salvage in it

[solemn bane]

Scan from your ship and mark them, then shoot them with the photon cannon. You can get a ton pretty fast that way.

[livid hornet]

you can get a lot of scrap really fast

[solemn bane]

All currency follows you back to your primary save.

[chilly junco]

Oh, you can shoot them from the air? Cool, Ill give that a try.

[livid hornet]

@solemn bane thanks

[hexed ravine]

Hey so, what are we supposed to do with the anomalies?

[solemn bane]

Say "ok" and move on

[hexed ravine]

But its not completing the goal

[solemn bane]

Oh, in that case you may need to disable multiplayer and relog and find another one.

[hexed ravine]

ah..

[chilly junco]

Does anyone know if I buy a different multi tool in a expedition, when I end the expedion will I be able to keep it?

Or does the game only give you the choice to keep the Sentinal multi tool that you find in the camp?

[solemn bane]

When you switch back to your primary save (either after you end the expedition or via the pause menu), you can copy your active expedition multi tool in the expedition terminal for nanites. All the installed tech will be maintained.

[chilly junco]

Just to make sure I'm following.... which ever multitool is in use, thats the one that will be available to copy over...

[solemn bane]

Yep. So you can swap back multiple times if you want to copy different ones.

[chilly junco]

So, I started a new save just for the Expedition, does it simply turn into a regular save when I end the expedition? I plan on just playing on this save from now on.

[chilly junco]

👍

[solemn bane]

Oh, I should have prefaced everything I just said with "if you started the expedition on an existing save" - if you started a new save on the expedition you keep everything you find, but only on that save.

And I had to edit that, whoops, lol.

[chilly junco]

Oh very cool... keep everything I find. So no having to swap back and forth, I won't get an option to copy, etc?

[solemn bane]

Right. When you end the expedition it turns into a normal save and you'll start the Artemis stuff like usual.

[chilly junco]

Excellent...

[solemn bane]

Cool mod

Another thing about starting a new save on this expedition is you keep the Orbital Uplink pattern, something that regular saves cannot get.

[livid hornet]

This is the behemoth I'm using to bring my corvette parts back to my main save.

[chilly junco]

Last Q for a bit... How much better is the Sentinal mining laser on a C multitool than the regular minining laser on an A multitool?

[livid hornet]

if you use add the mining laser to the sentinel laser, it's totally incomparable

[solemn bane]

You can google that. All I remember about sentinel weapons is they have higher damage, which is all I care about, lol.

[chilly junco]

Thanks CW, Appreciate all the patience.

[solemn bane]

ok apparently I should google this, lol

[simple raptor]

does this apply to cloaking device aswell
will cloaking device + runic lens cloaking mode be better than just the lens

[livid hornet]

I haven't tried. it might simply not let you do that

[solemn bane]

Tempted to run the expedition again, haha

[livid hornet]

with the dual laser ?

[solemn bane]

Yeah. I wonder if it would be viable as a weapon, heh.

[livid hornet]

I use it for most enemies 🙂

probably the other weapons are better but I can't seem to change weapons when I'm internally panicking 🙂

[solemn bane]

With the way enemies scale, you can take out Sentinels pretty easy with a C class multi-tool (especially a sentinel weapon), with a bolt caster all alone in a supercharged slot with no other upgrades. I never tested to see if the mining beam makes sentinels scale up.

[zinc stratus]

if I'm playing the expedition on my main save will things like multi-tools transfer back to my main play once i finish ?

[solemn bane]

When you switch back to your primary save (either after you end the expedition or via the pause menu), you can copy your active expedition multi tool and/or ship in the expedition terminal for nanites. All the installed tech will be maintained.

[zinc stratus]

so just make sure i'm holding it when I finish then. I got dumb lucky and got a S tier Royal multi tool from shutting down the sentinel pillar lol better than my main save one XD

[solemn bane]

Yeah. Or to be doubly safe you can switch to your primary save from the pause menu and copy your multi-tool over now.

[zinc stratus]

and when i'm finished I just swap from the pause menu ? This is the 1st time I've ever started from my main instead of a new run

[solemn bane]

You can swap whenever you want. But when you end the expedition it will kick you back to your primary save for good.

[zinc stratus]

uhhmmm i finished and i'm still chillin in the space station

[solemn bane]

You finished it, you didn't end it. You end it at the expedition terminal on the Anomaly.

[zinc stratus]

ahhhh ok

[errant mural]

The hijacked Lazer can be better if you do add a normal Lazer and the upgrades to it, it super quick.

[simple raptor]

oh what which expedition had this

[solemn bane]

Apparently that's just what happens when you put a regular mining laser on a sentinel weapon

[simple raptor]

oh

[vapid breach]

Is anyone currently on the expedition if you are I’m willing to pay if you will let me ride on your Corvette

[solemn bane]

You can try sneaking onto a ship on the Anomaly or a space station (I did it on the Rendezvous 5 space station since the Anomaly was too buggy for me). Might also try the first space station (Killur VII).

[vapid breach]

It seems to kick me off every time

I can easily get more, but that’s what I got right now after spending money but definitely willing to give it to someone who will let me complete the mission. After it is completed.

Doesn’t hurt me I’m more than happy to give it to someone because no one’s giving me a chance

[solemn bane]

You tried the space stations?

[vapid breach]

Yeah, it seems unless I’m in a group and I fly down to a separate planet. I can’t ride on anyone’s Corvette.

[cobalt heron]

Anyone got tips to finish the expedition really quickly? I can only play on weekends (strict parents) and I really want to finish it.

[gaunt bison]

Can i replicate the corvette i made during the expedition after i finish, or should i just send the parts back

[solemn bane]

There's a guide on youtube to do it quickly. It's pretty easy though, you can always ask here if you get stuck.

[solemn bane]

Assuming you started from an existing save, you can copy it back to your primary save for nanites.

[finite meteor]

New player here, and I just finished my first expedition. What items should I transfer back to my main save?

[solemn bane]

There's nothing super exciting, I wouldn't worry about missing stuff. Just send back whatever looks mildly interesting. Though your corvette cache does not transfer back (all cargo everywhere is sold), so you may want to send corvette parts back if you have extras.

[pulsar seal]

How do i go back to old expeditions

[wraith junco]

Cant

Expeditions are time limited events. Once per year there are reruns of all expeditions from whole year.

It starts usualy around end of november.

[tranquil spruce]

@vapid breach Hi, I am happy to help, but can't get back into Multiplayer [Network option is missing] I disabled that when starting exp:19, I am playing on Xbox series X, so if you can give me instructions how to get that enabled, i assume we can meet at some station?

[analog harbor]

how do i scan from my ship my ship don't have scans!

[livid hornet]

You can attach everything to a corvette and copy the monster back for dismantling.

I took a picture of mine for a remembrance 🙂

[tranquil spruce]

Question about the Pillars of the Stars 28V/R13/Z98, it has the Mining beam + Advanced Mining Beam and the terrain Manipulater, but I cant get the mining or the advanced mining to get to work to get some Shards I need the advanced Mining, if I remember well my other weapon comes normally up with: You need the advanced Mining, you want to swap? or something like that, why is this not working? and how to solve?

[prime zinc]

i'm having a lot of trouble landing, it keeps telling me the landing area is not clear

like this ground looks wide enough

reloading the save worked

[blazing fossil]

Expedition done

[velvet plinth]

The occasions I had this happen I found that if I tucked into the ground just a tiny bit closer it stopped telling me that

[solemn bane]

Don't land. Get up from your seat and use the button on the left to teleport down.

Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players ( ) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

[solemn bane]

There should be a blue hologram landing area to the side, wait til it turns green and press your land button.

e: oops, misread

[wraith junco]

Yes. It lands beside derelict. Use button near door to teleport to derelict

[neon osprey]

oh so thats what that button does... annoying that it didnt seem to mention that anywhere... ty

how would i get back to my corvette after beaming down to the freighter?

[solemn bane]

The teleporter you landed next to

[distant knot]

Just completed the Expedition.. I have several corvette modules in my Corvette Workshop Cache Inventory. Will those come back to my main save or nah?

[solemn bane]

They will be sold. You can take them out and put them in the expedition terminal to send them back.

[distant knot]

Alright, thnx.

[earnest coyote]

When I'm trying to place a portable refiner down it says I don't have edit permissions
What does that mean

It mean u are in proximity of other player base

Use the quick menu to report the base, that'll make it vanish

[earnest coyote]

Any screenshot or do I gotta find their base comp

[solemn bane]

It's just in the quick menu

[earnest coyote]

Ye but to report it's asking for ss

im just letting my life support run out so i die and i can go back in ship to get my stuff back

[earnest coyote]

An expedition got 7 phases
Completing these 7 phases completes the expedition right
And the rewards from these 7 phases should be transferred over to the main save before ending the expedition right

[solemn bane]

5 phases. Most of the phase rewards are account-wide unlocks you can claim at the QuickSilver vendor.

[haughty crater]

i can't get "Spacewreck" to complete. any tips on how to explore the wreck "completely"?

[wraith junco]

Visit all rooms.

[solemn bane]

Turn multiplayer off. You won't get credit for completing it unless you see the checkboxes in the bottom right. You need to get those checkboxes checked to complete it.

[haughty crater]

i visited all rooms and got all 3 terminals

[solemn bane]

Most likely a multiplayer issue.

And you don't need to visit every room, you can intentionally skip the ones with a big O (iirc) above them. You just need to read pads until you get the credentials, then visit the three terminals.

[haughty crater]

i will try . thanks

[solemn bane]

Here is what the mission tooltip with the checkboxes will look like when it's properly recording your progress:

[proper girder]

Is anyone available for the optional milestone Hitchhiking?

Not sure how to meet up for it.

[solemn bane]

I'd recommend trying to sneak on board ships while you wait, either on the Anomaly or on Rendezvous space stations (I had better luck on the rendezvous 5 space station, the Anomaly was too buggy for me).

[proper girder]

...All you have to do is just walk onto other players' ships?

Well no, it can't just be that.

[solemn bane]

Nah, you have to wait there until thy fly off. I got built into someone's corvette and couldn't get out, lol. Luckily I had the Chromatic Metal to create an Orbital Uplink

[haughty crater]

it was because of multiplayer. thanks again, i got it completed 🙂

[earnest coyote]

Whatever corvette modules I get in this , will they transfer over or will they be sold and I'll get units instead

[solemn bane]

Assuming you started from an existing save, they will get transferred over if you put them in the expedition terminal, or you can put them on your ship and copy the ship for nanites when you're on your primary save. Otherwise they get sold.

[earnest coyote]

How many nanites does it take

[solemn bane]

If you started a new save on the expedition, you just keep everything on that save.

[solemn bane]

Like 2,500 to 7,000. Depends on the tech on the ship. Could go higher with class upgrades.

[proper girder]

Actually... none of the optional objectives have unlockables do they? Just quicksilver and items?

[solemn bane]

Yeah. The hitchhiking one isn't really worth it. The last one is real easy though.

[proper girder]

How is the last one done?

[earnest coyote]

But if I pack up the modules ( I assume corvette parts can be packed similar to upgrade modules ) i can transfer them over for no charge right

[solemn bane]

Just go to a space station you haven't been to and interact with the console in the back like you did for the other milestones.

[solemn bane]

In the expedition terminal, yeah.

[earnest coyote]

I can perform multiple transfers between expedition save and main save before ending the expedition or is it limited?

[solemn bane]

Once the transfer slots are available in the expedition terminal, you can put items in them then go back to your primary save via the pause menu to pick them up, then go back to the expedition via the terminal and repeat.

[earnest coyote]

So infinite transfers
Aight
Also is the scan flora and fauna mission necessary or I can skip that mission

[solemn bane]

All the missions are required except the ones that say Optional

[wide berry]

Optional is dtill eady to do just stalk someone

[warm shuttle]

if I dont want to do the expedition anymore, can I just leave it?

[cold tulip]

If you started from an existing save, yes

[warm shuttle]

I just jumped right into from my original save. I finished phase 1 and just need the grow 8 plants to finish the second one.

[pseudo bane]

I'm in the Tuna Trooper Land space station selling some stuff. If you want a ride in about 10 minutes I'll be there.

Looks like no takers.

[proper girder]

Good god

I fucking hate Pirate station corvette pads

they have no teleporter

so you gotta run all the way from your spot

[wraith junco]

Somehow I never landed on one in expedition lol. I got the contraband from derelict freighter.

[lilac dagger]

Same, a base I visited in one of the first systems had a nipnip farm that I looted

[pseudo bane]

Pretty damned sick of rare, underground creatures

this is the third planet today I'm being stymied on the last fauna for completion by uncommon or rare underground

[knotty flint]

Does anyone know when the next expedition is due to start?

Current one ended a while back right?

Not 100% sure on that

[solemn bane]

No.

[solemn bane]

No.

[knotty flint]

Thank you

Will probably check it out since it’s still on

[earnest coyote]

In expedition I can use the corvette cache to free up storage without losing any modules yes?

[crimson badger]

where to find new shield and weapon part for my corvette?

all I can savage is hull and decoration

[prime zinc]

was this such a long process?

[vital vine]

how did i start this save expedition with a hyperdrive distance of 305 ly when my 2 other expeditions it was only 114ly ? i wonder what i did different aside from start from the start menu

[solemn bane]

Yep, but remember to retrieve them before you end the expedition if you started from an existing save.

[solemn bane]

You can either dig up modules from salvageable scrap (either on the ground or by shooting them with your ship's photon cannon) or you can trade for them in the advanced modules section at space stations.

[solemn bane]

You don't have any +jump distance modules in there? I know there's a X class hyperdrive upgrade that can vary from really bad to really good.

[teal socket]

Just to clarify: You can’t complete the actual expedition without multiplayer? (Travel with corvette of other travelers).

You can't complete all the milestones, but you can finish and end the expedition without multiplayer.

[molten laurel]

Ok, thx, there is nothin in the description that tis milstone is NOT mandatory - so you are sure about this?

[solemn bane]

You can actually complete the last optional milestone without multiplayer as well, it's just the other optional milestone that requires it, and the reward is kinda meh.

[molten laurel]

Lol, ok, thx!

[molten laurel]

Optional 🙈🙈🙈

[earnest coyote]

Yo is there a criteria to do the item transfer stuff from the anomaly for expedition save to main save ?
Cuz I am trying to do it and the item slots are blacked out and I can't do anything

[wicked oriole]

you have to complete the expedition and mark it as complete in the terminal before they become enabled

if you started the expedition in a fresh save, you can't transfer them as far as i understand

[earnest coyote]

But won't that instantly end the expedition and all the items I have acquired will be lost ?

I thought I can do multiple item transfers between saves before properly ending the expedition

[solemn bane]

It means you haven't finished the optional milestones and/or haven't claimed all the rewards. If you want to skip the optional milestones, click end and it will enable the slots.

[earnest coyote]

The vigilant tail customisation is unlocked everywhere right
Like I don't see an item for this so I'm assuming it is a bp or a feature

[solemn bane]

Yeah the bp is available from the QuickSilver vendor on any save once unlocked (and right away when you claim the reward on your expedition save). You build it by clicking an empty space in your ship's tech inventory.

[earnest coyote]

Ight
Also when I use the anomaly detector to detect deepspace anomalies I am stopped by a sentinel ship and I gotta follow it

Will doing this sentinel ship side quest give me the anomaly task completion message or did I waste an anomaly detector

[solemn bane]

I would have thought it would complete as soon as you used it and the ship showed up. I know people have brought it up before so maybe not. You might have to get another anomaly detector from mining asteroids or something. Either way make sure multiplayer is off just in case.

[vital vine]

not untill i earned some nannites, i held off on doing and refiner glitch stuff to do a i put all the components i was given on ahhh yes i now that i think i did find a x hyperdrive one in a buried cache weird the one i bought on expedition 1 must have sucked Thx monkey

[solemn bane]

Yeah I think one time it gave me like 60ly and one time it was 200+

[glass tusk]

Ahhhh I gotta do this expedition

[boreal owl]

Well, it's night on this side of Earth. Time to sleep. Bye!

[pseudo bane]

Will all the cargo and nutrient processor inventory copy over with the corvette at the end?

I'll happily read for myself if there's a bot command for that

[solemn bane]

No cargo, just tech, modules and building parts.

[pseudo bane]

thanks, what about the cache in the station?

[solemn bane]

Nope, no cargo in any containers

[pseudo bane]

Do I have to bolt everything on that I want to keep? :p

[solemn bane]

Once you can put items in the expedition terminal you can put everything in there, then if you have too much you can switch to your primary save and retrieve it, then go back to the expedition via the terminal and repeat.

[pseudo bane]

ah sweet, I thought that was a one shot deal. Excellent.

[plucky lichen]

I need major help kinda urgently with the spacewreck mission [typing]

||I park outide of the derelic tfreighter. As soon as I step outside the boundary the blue lines around my corvette gives me, I fall. I fall OUTSIDE of the little entrance area. I cannot move my ship, Or get ANYWHERE because I can't use my jetpack. I obviously don't have a secondary ship to use unfortunately.
I managed to fall down and off the derelict entirely, but that resulted in free-falling with no jetpack usage allowed. I was teleported back onto my Corvette with more damage taken.
Do I just have to leave and get a regular ship? Is there an obvious answer I'm not seeing? Help.||

[hidden merlin]

There is a button on the corvette to beam down

Next to the door operating switch

[hidden merlin]

^

[plucky lichen]

Tried that. It wouldn't give me the option.
Thank you!
I did manage to got onto the platform though via hurting myself falling and then glitching through the freighter.

So I guess we're resolved ;-;

[idle atlas]

Idk if this is the right place, but do we know what the next expedition will be?

[earnest coyote]

In the derilec frieghter it says I need to do 3 terminals
I did 2 but the third one ain't letting me proceed
It says I need security credentials so where do I get those

[thick umbra]

collect some more and go back to that terminal

[faint mesa]

Check all the logs you can; you can scan for them (press "C" if on PC).
One of them will give information for the security credentials

[remote thunder]

anyone having issues docking with derelict freighter? mp off etc etc

[earnest coyote]

The gravity wonky over there

[remote thunder]

my corvette didnt want to dock with the blue orb thingy

just went straight through it

[earnest coyote]

Try press and hold the landing button
For pc it's E

Ay what do I do with the creature egg I get in the end
Do I hatch it in this save or transfer it to main save and hatch it there

[wet mirage]

I occasionally have trouble docking my corvette with my freighter, it sometimes takes several attempts.
I have never docked my corvette on a derelict, but there has definitely been a change. With a regular ship, I used to get concentric rings above the landing pad I'm heading for. Now I get concentric rings perpendicular to my POV as I approach the derelict.

[stark basalt]

Question regarding expeditions in general.. is there always one up? like will it cycle to a new(or old) one immediately? or will there be a period without one up?

[regal knoll]

Not always.

[stark basalt]

ah cool. ty for the info 🙂

[remote thunder]

@earnest coyote @wet mirage thank you both - for some reason the first pad i tried to approach didnt turn green, or if it did it was so subtle against skybox background that i didn't even notice. i tried again and yeah this time i could see the orb "pulsating green"

[solemn bane]

I've had landing issues where I've flown through those things like that. Angle and speed seem to matter. Same deal with regular freighters.

[stark basalt]

Yeah. I always make a point to slow on approach

Seems to help

Oh crap

I should go finish the Expedition

I already got a sick sentinel multitool from it

Or I should at least take my lovely Perseverence outta it

[queen dust]

I just started NMS for this expedition, but I still see the Relics rewards (previous expedition), do I need to clear that before it starts or does this start another way?

[solemn bane]

Yep, gotta end the previous expedition first

[queen dust]

ah, thank you 🙂

[remote thunder]

that could have been it i guess, i really didnt see the green pulse

[haughty atlas]

Are there any special items in this expedition that are rare/impossible to get otherwise that I should bring back to my main save?

[solemn bane]

I think the only rare/impossible things are the Orbital Uplink schematic and items, but you can only keep those if you start a new save on the expedition.

[haughty atlas]

I can't bring those back to my old save?

[solemn bane]

nope

[haughty atlas]

I guess only an extra Deadeye Cannon

[solemn bane]

Oh that's true, you can't get a deadeye cannon as an item like that (or the windows as items) outside of the expedition.

After realizing that I've been considering doing the old expeditions and collecting items like that (I remember getting a number of exocrafts as items like that).

[haughty atlas]

Ohhh I think I didn't place the windows yet, so I'll have to grab those too. Yeah I have a lot of rare items from past expeditions, I always bring them back with me.

[solemn bane]

I think those were the only things I wasn't sending back. Oh well, another excuse to play more game, lol.

[solemn bane]

It occurred to me in #nms-modding that the other thing you get is pre-packaged technology modules. You can only get these through rewards and (theoretically) memory fragments from graves.

[soft socket]

So how does one find a pirate controlled system doing the expedition I have the conflict scanner and economy scanner installed

[faint mesa]

Galaxy map, look for a skull icon in the system's information

[soft socket]

Found one lol

[lofty sable]

Bro I’m just trying to hitchhike but I’ve seen nobody in hours

[solemn bane]

I’ll send you my friend code then I’ll help you out

Give me a couple mins

[lofty sable]

Thanks 🙏

[soft socket]

Sent it

[plucky bay]

just finished the expedition and this marker is in the final system with no name, what is it?

also thats my beautiful corvette 🙂

[solemn bane]

A bug that I think started showing up recently. At least I only recently remember it showing up.

[plucky bay]

Ok

[hybrid comet]

Question for people who have completed exp 19, the ||deadeye cannon reward comes with a recipe to make more of them|| -- if you build a 2nd or 3rd one or whatever, and then you delete the item during the corvette build, do you get the completed item back or the materials needed to make it?

[solemn bane]

Materials

[hybrid comet]

Great. Thank you!

[ripe birch]

Anyone mind letting me hitch a ride on their ship?

[solemn bane]

FYI I ended up doing this by sneaking onto a ship on the 5th rendezvous space station (the Anomaly was too buggy for me)

[ripe birch]

Lol yeah i tried to do that at a soace station, their ship went invisible and i got trapped

I played “mime” for a bit, trapped in an invisible box

[meager charm]

Better off going to a planet, than in anomaly or space station to get hijacked! I still have the expedition on my game so if anyone needs any help let me know by replying to this message, I can be in game Friday around 17:00/17:30 GMT (UK Time)

[potent geyser]

anyone else just falling through freighters and warping when you land in the corvettes? it may have cost me my wreck scanner =/

[solemn bane]

So the landing hologram turned from blue to green, you pressed your land button, then you used the left red circle teleport button to go to the derelict freighter?

[potent geyser]

i guess i didnt see any teleport so that explains a lot 😄 tried to find a way in spacewalking. on steam fwiw, ill have to look after i try to find another signal scanner if i can

[solemn bane]

Back of the space station, bottom right

[soft socket]

Should I sell everything I have on the expedition to get the units and nanites?

At least when I done

[solemn bane]

It will automatically get sold when you end it

[soft socket]

Oh

Like everything even corvette parts?

[solemn bane]

Everything in any storage or cargo, unless you send it back to your primary save.

This is assuming you started from an existing save. If you started a new save on the expedition then you keep everything.

[soft socket]

It’s all on an existing save

[cold tulip]

Am i supposed to have the refiner blueprint unlocked at the start?

Cant seem to make one

[solemn bane]

Yep, open the build menu

[cold tulip]

Damn its not there

[solemn bane]

[cold tulip]

Ohh build menu

Lmao

[solemn bane]

That's not the build menu. Close all that and press Z, assuming you're on pc

[cold tulip]

Ty!

[long tinsel]

Question for the derelict freighter milestone, I have completed exploring a derelict freighter and gotten milestone credit- however how do i get back to my corvette outside?

[solemn bane]

There's a teleporter about where you teleported down

[long tinsel]

ty i didnt see that because i flew in as my corvette wouldnt land

[slender sinew]

I'm starting the expedition today
😅

Are there any resources I should send via terminal?

[solemn bane]

They pretty much give you what you need. Maybe some warp fuel and/or hyperdrive upgrades for the longer jumps.

[slender sinew]

Alright thanks

[solemn bane]

Oh, 400 Frostwart and 200 Dioxite to grow Frostwart on your ship quickly

[slender sinew]

Appreciate the help fellow Traveler

[arctic shoal]

Hey, im still new to the game. Started the expedition, found a portal, powered it and now im stranded nowhere. I am completely lost 🙂 could someone assist me in voice chat (ger / eng)?

[thick umbra]

In expedition is no need to power/use a portal .. use a Teleporter and teleport back to you starting System

[arctic shoal]

there is none

teleporter

[thick umbra]

all Space Station have one

[arctic shoal]

my ship doesnt even fly 🙂 and i am lost on a planet. feeling dumb

[thick umbra]

which expedition ?

[arctic shoal]

corvette

[thick umbra]

and your corvette does not fly ?

[arctic shoal]

my initial ship 🫣

i archieved NOTHING

[thick umbra]

in expedition 19 only corvette are allowed .. no other ships

[arctic shoal]

would you help me in voicechat - i am totally lost

[thick umbra]

Sorry .. no mic

[arctic shoal]

k tx

[thick umbra]

Create your Orbital Link .. use it and you will end up in a SpaceStation

[arctic shoal]

i tried to get copper, but it was occuied and i couldt get it. i dont find any where i am now

[thick umbra]

Check with your visor for copper... most planets have copper

[arctic shoal]

will do. tx

[arctic shoal]

got it. thank you and appologies for all that spam 🙂

[thick umbra]

You don't have to apologize for asking for help. 🙂

[arctic shoal]

ok 🙂 where do i get stuff that i send to myself prior to the expedition? anomaly?

[remote thunder]

if you dismantle rocket launcher from your starter ship, you'll get 100 copper+50 cond carbon

wont need rocket launcher, so might as well turn it into something useful

in space stations, check trade terminals and some npc pilots at least for jellies, copper or cmetal, dioxite to recharge life support, ferrite dust, cobalt, etc

during my run, i hit "land" when above a planet a couple times, out of habit, instead of leaving seat+beam down lol

[sullen meteor]

about to start, anything in particular I should bring with me?

[remote thunder]

the basics i guess <#nms-expedition message>, wont need anything special

i started from new save as usual, still finished in 2h30m

strong suggestion - personal refiner mk2, either bring nanites or it already stored

i did zoology on some planet in the starter system, that was probably the longest i was on a planet during the entire expedition

13 species, over 3k nanites, and i was good to go

[remote thunder]

i didnt try spacewreck elsewhere, but rdv5 DF is pretty easy, jellyfish only

[sullen meteor]

So... the refiner unit takes materials that don't seem to be available before you leave the starter system... so how do you get all the chromatic metal you need to repair the hyperdrive? the only source I found was as a secondary resource from the little rocks on the starter planet

oh I can make a portable refiner

[fickle lion]

This is the way

[glass tusk]

5 more days!

[sullen meteor]

.... oh. corvettes can't use normal starship landing pads? lol

[sullen meteor]

... I warped and somehow immediately had a sentinel wanted level. then it went away when the milestone completed. wtf? lol

[remote thunder]

phase 1 milestone 6 auto spawns sentinel ships when selected (or automatically selected)

maybe that was it

[sullen meteor]

yeah I figured, I'm just stunned at HG's audacity lol

"ok hope your space brick is ready to fight because you're in combat now lmao"

[remote thunder]

it should be ok at that point, because of damage scaling; at least i didnt have any issues dealing with them

[remote thunder]

yeah, at least not yet. that said, you probably will always want to hover+leave seat+beam down

[sullen meteor]

I might not have had weapons installed, who knows? It's not cool of them to just artifically give you a wanted level because you clicked something in a menu, or worse, had it auto-selected because you completed the previous one

[remote thunder]

yeah, i do empathize with that perspective

[keen finch]

How much time is left on the expedition?

[remote thunder]

5 days or so

[keen finch]

Good lord

[wanton frigate]

4 more than you need, depending on how much time you can give it. If you've not started it's still doable.

just don't get seduced by the Corvette Building system - attach only the pieces you need for milestones and build your perfect ship when you've got your 5 phases rewards!

[wraith junco]

I did expedition in 2h35min yesterday without optional stuff. So 5h is more than enough to do it. I recomend to have mp off

[lilac dagger]

Did my second playthrough in 3.5 hours without exploring extra stuff

[solemn bane]

Be happy this isn't Cartographers. I had the difficulty settings turned up and the damage was scaled up more because I was in an S class with zero upgrades. On my way to the space station I got attacked and was barely able to make it to a planet, but not before they destroyed most of my tech, so I had to re-repair everything, lol.

[brittle flower]

Hi new to nms. Picked it up last week off steam sale. What's expedition about? Worth doing as a beginner?

[solemn bane]

Probably better to play the main game. You're not missing too much as far as rewards for this expedition, and some things may trip you up. But if you don't mind getting tripped up and/or watching a guide on youtube then it may be fine, it's still a pretty easy expedition. I dunno, flip a coin, lol.

[rare cove]

If you manage to collect enough nanites and do the expedition tied to your main save then yes as you can get yourself a corvette early game

But at least learn basics before you do

[chrome fjord]

does anyone want to help me with completing the hitchhiker thing

i keep getting glitched out of people's ship in the anomaly

[manic nacelle]

would the best way to get all the corvette modules back into your regular game, by placing as many as them as possible on your corvette. then cloning it after?

[solemn bane]

Depends on how you define best. Modules may raise the nanite cost of the ship (I'm not totally sure), but I know passing them through the expedition terminal is free.

[manic nacelle]

ohhh that makes sense. i wasnt sure if you got it for free after or had to buy it

so put as many in the inventory thing, then put the other on the ship

[solemn bane]

You can put them in the terminal then switch back to your primary save via the pause menu, pick them up at the terminal then switch back to the expedition via the terminal.

[manic nacelle]

you can do mutlipe transfers? i figured it was one and done. this is the first expedition ive actually taken part in

[solemn bane]

Yeah, I forgot to say "repeat" at the end 😆

[manic nacelle]

cool thanks 👍

[winged dove]

are we only allowed to have 1 corvette during the expedition?

[solemn bane]

Only ship total, the corvette you build.

[sage finch]

I'm real stuck. The only thing I have left to do is the 2nd last task, killing the sentinels. On my 300+ hr main save I can pop sentinel drones in one hit so I'm really not used to these underpowered peashooters.

I've installed what I can on a sentinel weapon and bought upgrade modules from a space station. It's B class. Barely makes a dent on the sentinels. any ideas?

[solemn bane]

You just need to use the Sentinel Boundary Map they gave you and shut them down at the terminal.

[solemn bane]

However if you do want to overpower them:

5. Weapons: I tend to use a Bolt Caster in a supercharged slot with no upgrades on a C class multi-tool, because Sentinels start scaling up quickly when you upgrade your multi-tool/weapon. After that, I collect Neutron Cannon upgrades (there are two S class on the expedition path, and 1 A class) then I switch to a fully upgraded Neutron Cannon (learned at the Anomaly) and laugh as I two shot a group of 6 sentinels.

[sage finch]

oh shit no way really? I didn't even notice I got one lol and I'm pretty lazy so I'm glad I don't have to fight them

[harsh surge]

[pseudo bane]

Do the phase milestones eventually upgrade the ship to S. by the end? I'm at A and I only upgraded from C to B to get more storage.

[brisk sorrel]

Adding to this short conversation: I wrote a small steam guide about this two weeks ago. The cloning cost does not increase at this time. My scrapship guide contains spoilers for players who like to stock up on corvette pieces with limited grind, but without creative mode settings or save editing. So this might be interesting for some during the last days of the expedition. Cheers.

[brisk sorrel]

Not this time.

[pseudo bane]

Thanks, I might as well blow these nanites then before I end the expedition

[brisk sorrel]

You may prefer to upgrade the class of your main corvette after assembling one with a decent super-charge-configuration. Keep in mind all nanites transfer to your main anyway, so nothing is lost.

[pseudo bane]

I've got two on one weapon and one on the pulse engine right now. Ironically the weapon can't shoot straight and phase beam is the only one that does, but it's working well enough for now. What would be a good layout for a corvette in your opinion?

[brisk sorrel]

"Good is subjective". I'd be fine with any layout that has them in a 3x2 rectangle. Some players insist on finding a perfect T or square. Super charged slots are not only a topic for corvettes, you can find plenty of information on this subject e.g. in the pinned messages on the other channels here. For corvettes specifically, the layout outcome is purely random on creation.
EDIT: I think I am going off topic here. Short: Anything you like personally is fine, the rest is min-maxing.

[pseudo bane]

Does it come out the same every time in the same location?

[brisk sorrel]

It seemed nondeterministic to me, in contrast to the seed based rules for spaceships and multitools.

[pseudo bane]

After you build and it isn't good for what you want, do you salvage it using the same terminal as regular ships?

[manic nacelle]

to clone my corvette it was like 2800nan. just started over because im low on nanites but have billions of credits on my main 😅

[brisk sorrel]

No, corvettes cannot be salvaged directly, but you can trade them for spaceships. This is covered in more detail in the steam guide I mentioned.

[pseudo bane]

I'm just confused, it seems like once you've built a corvette there is no way to delete it because the interface won't even let you out without having the basics

[solemn bane]

Is this true for parts that add tech to your ship as well?

[brisk sorrel]

Haha, I see. I found that really cheap compared to e.g. a class upgrade. You might want to trade some of your units to nanites before you hit the hard maximum. Not difficult to find spoilers explaining how.

[solemn bane]

My last one was 7k, lol

[brisk sorrel]

Yes, unless there have been rule changes in the past two weeks. I cloned some near the 100 piece limit and never observed a different cost.

[brisk sorrel]

Ah, that is interesting! * runs to the terminal to check*

[solemn bane]

I assume it was from all the other tech I added. It was completely maxed out.

[brisk sorrel]

Or could it have been based on the class? Never had anything above C as scrapship.

[solemn bane]

Oh you know what it might be, it could be that I did the +tech spaces exploit all the way to the max. I notice that also gives you all three supercharged slots, so it could have been counting me as having an S class in some way.

This thing:

12. You can expand your corvette's tech slots by removing as many parts that cause tech modules to appear in the tech slots as you can, filling your tech slots up with any cheap tech modules, then putting all your corvette parts back on. This will expand your tech slots permanently.

Which I did on accident like three times before I figured out what the hell was going on, lol.

[brisk sorrel]

I certainly had different tech inventory sizes across copy attempts.

[solemn bane]

In that case it was probably just all the tech I had

[brisk sorrel]

I still see cloning costs of 2'800 for a scrapship with 42 tech slots and 46 cargo slots. Mine also had 3SC clots despite its C class. It might be the regular spaceship tech then? On this one I have little, some 5 upgrade modules and a few weapons. I think it was more on earlier copies of the same cost, though. There could be thresholds for tech contained.

[solemn bane]

It might be the regular spaceship tech then?

Yeah that's what I meant

[brisk sorrel]

I still think some 8k nanites minus the scrap is a fair price for conveniently transferring some 90 vette parts 😄

[astral fulcrum]

How do I tell if a system is pirate controlled? I have the conflict scanner but I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for

[solemn bane]

Skull on the system info in the galaxy map

[solemn bane]

Could probably bump that number up more, lol.

oof, what's that shield module doing there 😅

[astral fulcrum]

IS this the right skull icon?

[brisk sorrel]

Yes

[solemn bane]

Any skull will do

[sonic sierra]

Dear devs, just remove the time limit from expeditions and make them all available for all players at any time!!

[pseudo bane]

Oh man, the ambassador cockpit is so much better, it's what I love about the ball type exotics.

I'd love to see them do a sentinel cockpit type upgrade to the minotaur, and fix the point of aim in third person while their at it.

[naive halo]

We kinda do

It's called the hardframe upgrade

Which you get via a quest

[pseudo bane]

Oh, I mean the see-through inside like when you close the cockpit of an interceptor. I've got hardframe and liquidator, I was just hoping for a better first person visibility.

[naive halo]

Fair

That's fair

Plenty of in game content to flesh out by devs eventually

[naive halo]

I swear people will one day make a gundam style cockpit for it lmaoo

[pseudo bane]

Indeed

[sullen meteor]

Uhh what is this? lol I saw something zoom past my ship and an icon appeared on my hud that looks like an orange hexagon with what looks like a white wall with a door inside it. I pulsed to it and it brought me out to the middle of nowhere, but... there's nothing here?

[solemn bane]

Yeah new (I think) bug

[remote thunder]

yeah, since voyagers

[harsh surge]

First actual try on doing something coherent with my corvette during expedition, any thoughts?

[sullen meteor]

am I dumb or can reactors just not be rotated

[solemn bane]

I dunno about the first part but yeah they can't be rotated for some reason.

[sullen meteor]

how do I find a harmonic camp? the mission seems to be bugged

it's telling me the mission target is "very distant" and the reset button doesn't seem to do anything

I'm in a dissonant system, on a dissonant world

oh, the echo locator worked

[remote thunder]

yeah, echo locator is the way to go here

[terse root]

where do we get the echo locators i am also struggling with this?

[remote thunder]

complete and claim phase 3 milestone 4

[terse root]

ty!

[sullen meteor]

I got that one immediately from the starter planet because I scanned fauna

[remote thunder]

i sometimes hold back on claiming them right away after completing - just to not clutter my inventory

i'll often just claim them when i'm actually ready to do whatever other milestone basically

remember to

cwmonkey went above and beyond and made really useful posts

huge thanks goes out to them and everyone else who might have contributed to the posts

[true solar]

Which expedition is on rn?

[sullen meteor]

!exptime

[unkempt kraken]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Expedition 19 - Corvette
Event ends <t:1760540400>

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

[steel tiger]

Will another expedition start after corvette ends? Or will there be a wait?

[wraith junco]

We dont know

[steel tiger]

Dam

[wraith junco]

Usualy around end of nov the exp reruns starts

[steel tiger]

Is there a way to play old expeditions other than editing the games files?

[wet mirage]

Maybe at their next major anniversary, Hello Games will let us play all previous expeditions as a celebration. Here's hoping. 🤞 😀

[wraith junco]

Option to replay all exps could mean no more new expeditions tho

[chrome fjord]

im new to the game what happens to my stuff when i complete the expedition?

Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players ( ) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

[chrome fjord]

if I want to keep everything does stuffing them in storage modules circumvent the need to sell?

[mossy breach]

Not how it works

[mossy breach]

First off, how'd you start the expedition?

[chrome fjord]

from an existing save

[mossy breach]

Then, at the end of the expedition, when you claim the final phase reward and choose to stop your expedition, you should be able to choose some things to bring back to your main save

• items in your inventory
• technology stored in your inventory
• ships
• weapons

Though in this expedition you can't transfer your Corvette

There's also a limit to the different amount of things you can move over

[remote thunder]

you can copy equipped corvette from expedition once back in primary save

[mossy breach]

And you need nanites to claim them

[mossy breach]

Oh?

[remote thunder]

we can't copy ships into exp19, but we can in reverse

also, the limit of 8 tech+24 slots, we can work around that

[chrome fjord]

how?

stick them all in the corvette?

[mossy breach]

👀

[remote thunder]

@chrome fjord @mossy breach in short, once you're able to add items to expedition terminus, at this point, you could add items in, exit interaction, save, pause/options/return to primary, get items into primary char inventory, save, resume expedition again, add more items, repeat as many times as needed

[mossy breach]

Ooooo interesting!!

I had no idea :3

Thank!!!

[remote thunder]

ofc, this can be used as well to copy different gear - diff ships, diff multitools; just change gear before saving, it will be reflected in the exp terminus

[chrome fjord]

oh nice danke

[echo terrace]

Why don't I have the cargo I took before launching the expedition from the space anomaly?

[arctic shoal]

Hey, how do i get the advanced mining laser in expedition 19?

[cold tulip]

You get it from the anomaly, same place you left it in

[arctic shoal]

oh - i have to take it along?

[cold tulip]

You can get the blueprint from the anomaly

[arctic shoal]

thank you!

i appreciate the help here - is easy to get lost!

[echo terrace]

ok thx

[turbid vapor]

What is the first rendezvous station in expedtion?

[solemn bane]

Killur VII. See pins.

[finite scaffold]

The end (of the expedition) is near! Was a good one and I definitely enjoyed it.

[turbid vapor]

kk

[turbid vapor]

Wait I just was there... Not understand.

Gonna re-visit.

[solemn bane]

Oh, you said Rendezvous, sorry that was the starting system station. See pins 😆

[echo terrace]

Will I be able to recover all the items I unlock during the expedition from my main save (outside the expedition)?

[solemn bane]

Yep. They are account-wide unlocks, so any saves can get them.

[echo terrace]

That is to say that if I have corvette modules in my inventory, at the end of the expedition I will be able to recover them or did I misunderstand?

[solemn bane]

Misunderstandings on both ends. "Unlock" tends to imply the unlocked rewards at the end of phases. As for all the other stuff, you can send it to your primary save via the expedition terminal, assuming you started the expedition from an existing save. Can't send eggs or Orbital Uplinks, though.

[echo terrace]

ok thx

[turbid vapor]

If I'll struggle, I can ask someone to join me and help, right?

[solemn bane]

You probably won't struggle, aside from one optional milestone. Ask here if you get stuck.

[turbid vapor]

I'm mostly afraid that I may not finish in time, because my dumb butt jumped in unprepared.

[solemn bane]

It's easy.

[turbid vapor]

... And I'm only started recently the normal game

[solemn bane]

Yep, still easy. Just ask here if you get stuck.

[turbid vapor]

Anyway, I'll cry here if something will be wrong 👍

[outer leaf]

Hey folks, what's the most common way to accomplish the optional milestone of taking a ride in someone else's corvette, for those who don't have friends that play the game? Just sending out chat messages at the space station and/or anomaly?

[turbid vapor]

Also accidentally did the kill sentinel ceptors pretty fast

[solemn bane]

I snuck onto a ship in the Rendezvous 5 space station because the Anomaly was too buggy for me. Rendezvous 1 may be better.

[outer leaf]

Surely most people aren't actually taking the anti-social route? 😂

[solemn bane]

I wouldn't know, I don't interact with most people.

[finite scaffold]

People in #nms-lfg-or-trades are very nice and are usually happy to help with multiplayer stuff

[silver spruce]

What's the anti-social route?

[sand grail]

I didn't have time to do the expedition up until now, but I can't finish it, because I'm stuck on this quest. Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong? I have completely explored the derelict freighter opened every single loot, interacted with every piece of log/lore, killed enemies, activated teleports, been to every room and did basically everything what I can etc. but I'm still not getting the quest any suggestions?

[reef valve]

didi you take the logs back and sell them to the scrap guy or donate them to the guild at station?

also interacted with last console and got the loot..

[sand grail]

yes I did all that

this is my second derelict freighter purchased another one from the scrap guy but still nothing

[reef valve]

hmm i got the scanner free from something.. also got lucky and kept running into them via pulse drive so i came out of expedition with like 4 of the scanners..

[sand grail]

i used the free one from the quest but after delivering the logs back to the space station and I didn't get the quest I bought one from the scrap guy did everything again delivered the log and the quest is still not complete so I don't know what am I doing wrong

[solemn bane]

Disable multiplayer and try again.

[solemn bane]

Sneak onto a ship

[sand grail]

it was disabled since the start of the expedition

[solemn bane]

The only things you HAVE to do are: Summon the derelict freighter and enter it, read pads until you get credentials, interact with the three terminals. If you don't see this mission tooltip in the bottom right corner after you unseal the door, you are not getting credit for it and you will need to disable multiplayer and/or relog until it comes up:

[solemn bane]

Also after relogging you may lose the freighter. You can buy another beacon in the back of a space station, to the right on the bottom.

[sand grail]

ye I didn't have the mission tooltip the whole time, but right quest was selected the whole time:(

[sand grail]

I already bought one so it cost 10million now and I don't have that much going to wait for the daily reset

Thanks for the help!

[sinful yew]

I finished a couple parts of the first stage and built a relatively cool looking Vette. If I don't finish the expedition can i still keep what I built in other saves

[solemn bane]

"in other saves" no, but if you started the expedition on an existing save you'll be able to copy it over when you're back on the primary save. If you started a new save on the expedition you'll keep everything you got when it ends.

[sinful yew]

Ohh alright, I thought you got to keep expedition rewards across saves

[solemn bane]

Unlocks from Phase rewards are account-wide.

[random lynx]

Expedition still not available for Switch?

[grand hinge]

Apologies if im late, but I snuck aboard someones, and someone snuck aboard mine, so thats always a good option lol

[sinful yew]

Thanks man

[cobalt heron]

No. I have switch one and I don't even have Corvette building yet

[dapper depot]

switch ain’t getting corvettes

[unkempt kraken]

@cobalt heron

No gifs in this channel please

[cobalt heron]

I know but I still have foolish hope 😭

[turbid vapor]

It means "increse inentory" or install internall box, like on base?

[wraith junco]

Place more hab modules that rise slots

[arctic shoal]

I know that at the end of expedition 19 units and nanits will be transferred. but what about corvette modules in the cache? what about upgrades and other items? do i have to transfer them manually at the anomally?

[solemn bane]

You have to transfer them or they get sold

[arctic shoal]

thank you

[turbid vapor]

viridescent planet is not lush?

oh nvm

[tepid mauve]

shoutout to Lemoon on youtube for one of the best razor crest build, the amount of glitches they used is nothing short of incredible, like look at how accurate this looks!

another angle

[dawn mauve]

Q....having started with nms only a month ago, I assume it's not possible to do previous expeditions before 19?

[meager scroll]

Not in vanilla game

Expeditions are limited time events

Accessible only in specific time windows when HG decides

At the end of the year HG should rerun expeds from this year

In shorter form, less tasks, less time to complete

[dawn mauve]

Q2... has anyone else created a captains quarters in their freighter? If so, how did you decorate or kit out to make it feel.... in command and different from the rest of the ship?

[meager scroll]

Imo better suited for #nms-base-building or general channel

[dawn mauve]

Yep, sorry, thought I had changed channel
