[ashen phoenix]

these small ship is sht

[tender tusk]

None

[primal wagon]

No corvettes in swarm exp

[ashen phoenix]

F

[primal wagon]

You can’t even transfer your main save non corvette ship over.

[tender tusk]

i wonder if people are having multitools resetting the missions because they have multiplayer on

[wraith junco]

I had it off i think

[primal wagon]

I have multiplayer off when I do these missions. Still resetting

[wraith junco]

And it can still bug out.

[swift crane]

Sometimes missions may even auto complete once you land on a planet (happened to me once)

[median sparrow]

TIL that the answers matter. Well that's upsetting lmao.

[wraith junco]

Meh. Not that much .

[median sparrow]

I didn't want royals. 😠

[hasty rampart]

Aw dang it

[rapid flicker]

literally 9k more wth

[hasty rampart]

Damn

[wraith junco]

Cmon xbox and switch where are u. Royals and sages need u

[hasty rampart]

I haven’t been given the update which freaking sucks this expedition seems so neat

[molten mulch]

WEAVERS ➔ WINNERS

[late fulcrum]

Literally the ones I wanted to join

Anomaly lobby there's only Xbox players

[median sparrow]

I yolo'd the questions and got Royals.

[hasty rampart]

Questions?

[rapid flicker]

the questions unfortunately matter none

[median sparrow]

So I can still be Weavers? Like I intended before I even started

[rapid flicker]

no, it just means that you'd get sorted randomly no matter your answers

[median sparrow]

Oooh.

[tender tusk]

I've literally seen two different NMS streams answer the exact same and one got royals and one got sage; so the questions / answers don't matter

[median sparrow]

Okay if it's random that's fine

I'll live iwth it.

[hasty rampart]

Isn’t it predetermined for each account or something like that idk

[tender tusk]

yes probably based off account

[novel aspen]

some people believe your answers matter but it definitely doesnt feel like it based on how even the teams are

only real way to tell is have a bunch of new accounts give the same answers and be placed into a team

[hasty rampart]

Honestly I’d love to actually play the expedition but can’t and it sucks and I’m kinda bummed about

[novel aspen]

its mediocre youre not missing much

[rapid flicker]

i thought being on whatever consoler mattered barely, as weavers were just much higher than everyone else and would represent playstation

[hasty rampart]

So it’s alright at best

[novel aspen]

on day 1 weavers were losing

[atomic estuary]

I'm a weaver and I'm on PC Steam

[rapid flicker]

then they got a rapid 200 players advantage at the end of day one

[atomic estuary]

I don't think platform matters in the slightest

[daring iron]

Will nms come out with an expedition patch?

[atomic estuary]

Would be a really weird design choice to make it matter in something like this

[novel aspen]

you get dropped into a random team, you get to do a maximum of 9 missions a day assuming you play every 8 hours for mission resets, and your contribution means nothing in the grand scheme of progress. on top of all that your rewards at the end are locked based on whatever team you are, so if you get dropped into your least favorite color, tough luck

[rapid flicker]

snowball into being the first to get a thousand points over the others

[hasty rampart]

Wonder what I am weaver royal or sage

[hasty rampart]

Alright

[novel aspen]

like every single person playing the expedition right now have nothing to do except wait for mission reset to do 3 more 5 minute long missions

[atomic estuary]

your rewards at the end are locked based on whatever team you are
Only a set of flags

[hasty rampart]

Yeah

[atomic estuary]

You get everything else the same as every other player

And the flags are nothing to write home about unless you are really fixated on logo they have

[hasty rampart]

So the only rewards that are locked are flags and team based stuff

[novel aspen]

i mean yeah the armor set is cool and everyone gets that, but what if i dont want green flags and never plan to use them entirely because theyre green?

[atomic estuary]

There are other coloured flags in the game

[wraith junco]

What? Fought that u get all rewards variants. Regardless of faction. Locking it behind something u dont have impact on is stupid.

[novel aspen]

dropping FOMO of what color decor items you get when you cant control your team is just silly

[atomic estuary]

Then don't use them? The flags are inconsequential, a token for particpating in a given team. Is one base part going to ruin base building for you forever?

[novel aspen]

its the premise

[atomic estuary]

There are whole sets of parts you can't use

Think of legacy parts

[hasty rampart]

Curious

[atomic estuary]

Unless you are on PC and can save edit/mod or have a save when they were available

[novel aspen]

the principal of giving out awards and then also saying "you cant have these awards because we placed you in a different color team during an inconsequential time"

[wraith junco]

Hg removed them tho

[past oasis]

arguement of a reward in a video game 😭

[atomic estuary]

Man, it's always the same argument, just have someone come and build it for you and then you can copy it and have it in your build.

Don't get upset over the colour of a flag that you would get bored with after using it once or twice

[wraith junco]

Would be cool if u could scan it and learn the bp

[kind jasper]

oh shit i didnt do my restore or sabotage task and im not home

[novel aspen]

theres a reason AAA mmos are moving away from FOMO man, you can say who cares all day, but it is historically just bad design that devs in bigger companies are figuring out

[atomic estuary]

Tell them that

[novel aspen]

i did day one

[atomic estuary]

Good

Now going back to what matters

[novel aspen]

like i also understand what were getting in NMS is testing playground for LNF

[atomic estuary]

Weavers step on it 🗣️ 📣

[wraith junco]

Buh, buh my catalouge 🥺

[kind jasper]

im not home 😭

[quaint stone]

bruh my missiosn are being so jank, its bringing me to swarm pods that already have all the parts removed somehow

[kind jasper]

im so cooked

[tender tusk]

weavers and royals so far ahead they can take a break

[wraith junco]

Already done .

[novel aspen]

but if LNF is going to drop in faction wars with fomo rewards it wont be good for the overall health of the game

[atomic estuary]

Royals, yes. Weavers get no breaks

[wraith junco]

Next my shift is around 9am . So i do 12 missions total with refresh

[novel aspen]

I also put in a suggestion that once all the consoles are on the update and in the same boat as the rest of us that they remove the mission timegate, because again, if AAA companies recognize that dailies are bad, HG should also recognize that asking players for 15 minutes of gameplay every 8 hours is bad

[hasty rampart]

So purge restore and sabotage are mission types correct?

[novel aspen]

yes

[hasty rampart]

Ok

[rapid flicker]

i've seen plenty of the hauler exotic ships already but i've never seen someone build a new colored one from one of its parts yet

[hasty rampart]

That looks neat

[supple cairn]

Oooh, pretty

Need to get myself one soon

[quaint stone]

i cant get the purge missions to work, it just brings me to pods that are already dissasembled

[proper girder]

You know, at least expedition missions seem to be on some kind of 6 hour interval for reset. If these were all 24 hour time gates I think I'd lose my mind.

[hasty rampart]

What are purge missions

[quaint stone]

you have to rip chunks off a fallen pod

[hasty rampart]

I see

[quaint stone]

but i find them already ripped up, so the mission is just unfinishable

[hasty rampart]

Damn that must kinda suck

[tender tusk]

Turn

Off

Multiplayer

[quaint stone]

already did

[novel aspen]

did you reload after doing so

[quaint stone]

i relaunched yeah, maybe i should try one more time tho

[rigid flare]

When are the challenges?

[coarse forum]

lets go weavers. took a massive lead

[chilly latch]

TBH I hate how there's a cooldown tiemr for these missions

[hasty rampart]

Cool I think

[hasty rampart]

That does sound annoying

[proper girder]

Very

The game is basically time gated to like

at least 40 more days

[hasty rampart]

Yeah that sucks

[proper girder]

based on current progress

We're at 9% completed core

[novel aspen]

the things thats really weird is that they made it a competition but dont allow the tryhards to actually play for their team

[proper girder]

It started on...Thursday

[novel aspen]

its counterintuitive

[rigid flare]

Extremely long timer at that. Instead of taking me 4 hours to finish this it will take me around 20 or maybe more

[pastel iron]

Not for xbox

[novel aspen]

if some dude wants to slam sabotage missions for 16 hours a day for his team, let him

[proper girder]

No one really cares about Xbox. Microsoft certainly doesn't.

[chilly latch]

I want to reduce a heap of swarm scum into corvette parts

[pastel iron]

People who play xbox do care

[hasty rampart]

Oooooh that seams cool

[novel aspen]

just play xbox on the pc 😂

theres an app for it

[proper girder]

Why would I want to play an inferior experience on my PC?

I have Steam

[chilly latch]

TBH I would love for like, the ability to have a base piece that lets you turn Swarm Drone Scrap into new corvette pieces

[chilly latch]

I mean they killed the Xbox Avatars and I still grieve for their death

[hasty rampart]

Yeah sounds interesting

[novel aspen]

true and based

[woven stirrup]

Okay WE can’t build corvette but in the trailer they can?

[hasty rampart]

Huh

[woven stirrup]

I want my corvette

[chilly latch]

TBH this expedition might be the first one of its kind to be a stinker in terms of how they handled a lot of it

[inland niche]

They might have disabled corvettes after some playtesting

[proper girder]

Because fuck you, player.

Honestly this expedition I would put down as their worst ever.

[chilly latch]

like why do we need to do a community objective when we have barely even reached a quarter fo the way there?

[woven stirrup]

Fair point

Sloppy expedition

[woven shadow]

All right time to get back to fixing up my ship.

Then the rest of the Expedition. I need to turn multiplayer off.

[novel aspen]

just remember this is all a playground for LNF

[inland niche]

Not all of it

[quick stag]

Well the networking isnt working so LNF wont be coming soon

[rapid flicker]

I see many changes from past expeditions, base parts load much better than for the colossus expedition

[knotty tangle]

I see the cooperation aspect was a lie; I got gunned down by a Royal or Weaver from the sky.

[maiden kiln]

The reason i turn off multiplayer

[inland niche]

Turn off pvp and then just walk up to them

[rapid flicker]

Please turn off pvp if you haven't already, the simple existence of it in this game brings all kinds of griefers

[jade junco]

Im just waiting to join in xbox is still waiting and it sucks

[maiden kiln]

Hows the milestone doin?

[tough tendon]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@tough tendon

COUNTERMEASURES

Core Construction: 9.6%
Weaver: 3.3%
Sage: 3.1%
Royal: 3.2%

Mission timer resets: <t:1780272000:R>

[inland niche]

I turned pvp off at the start, and when I go into multiplayer, I like to hang out around mission locations, charging and firing at players I see preventing others from doing the missions

[maiden kiln]

Doin god’s work

[knotty tangle]

The existence of a competitive expedition brought them up.

[maiden kiln]

Nms felt like rust in this expedition didnt like it

[rapid spindle]

I can't remember if you can one way kill someone in PvP, if they have PvP on and you don't can you still hurt the player with PvP on?

[inland niche]

In my experience, no

But you can still cause them trouble

And I... ran a test where I initiated a sentinel battle at a mission location

I know how annoying that can be, but I noticed something rather important

Far less players died when the sentinels were attacking

[knotty tangle]

People actually worked together to put down the ATST?

[inland niche]

No

[maiden kiln]

Only through the milestone

[inland niche]

The sentinels get in everyone's way, including the griefers

Kinda hard to focus on sniping people when a quad starts laser beaming you

[maiden kiln]

When did the expedition start?

[inland niche]

This past wednesday

[knotty tangle]

All I can say is my killer is lucky he was hitting me with his starship. I got an A class multitool on a fresh character.

[maiden kiln]

And still 9% this gonna take awhile

[chilly latch]

I still question why the hell they chose to make sabotage missions as a whole

[inland niche]

Its currently progressing at about 2% per day, and thats before the other consoles get it

[inland niche]

They dont reduce global progress

[chilly latch]

Still

[inland niche]

They are missions to sabotage the hive

[chilly latch]

yet they take away score

[inland niche]

From other teams

Its basically you making your own team get more credit for victory

[maiden kiln]

Whats actually the advantage of a team having a higher score?

[inland niche]

Bragging rights and something in the anomaly being decorated in the theme of the winning team

[hasty rampart]

What are sabotage missions

[maiden kiln]

sabotaging the swarm hive

[hasty rampart]

Mmmhhhmmmm

[knotty tangle]

Too bad ramming the hive with a derelict freighter wasnt thought of.

[inland niche]

Dude, I was focusing most of my attack on the hive when it was targeting the atlas interface

[normal sentinel]

For example:
making the hive not know what’s going on in a certain system

[inland niche]

It took 0 damage

[hasty rampart]

So blocking access to certain info for the hive is the premise

?

[normal sentinel]

Yeah

[hasty rampart]

Ok restore is the third type correct?

[normal sentinel]

Yeah

[hasty rampart]

What is restore missions?

[inland niche]

Basically counteracting the damage caused by the hive

[topaz spruce]

i had to report 9 bases just so i could do the missions before reset. such trolls 🙁

[hasty rampart]

So repairing systems that the hive has damaged?

[normal sentinel]

Yep

[maiden kiln]

Is there a way to contribute to the milestone beside the missions?

[topaz spruce]

just do all 3 every reset. 9 per day max

[hasty rampart]

Ok ok thanks for the information

I just need to wait for my system to get the damn update

[inland niche]

No

[normal sentinel]

No problem, don’t be afraid to ask around here, more then 2 brain cells here

[hasty rampart]

Alright though apparently the switch thing came out 27th of may for me it’s the 31st so 4 days and nothing

So I’m kinda sad

COUNTERMEASURES

[kind jasper]

guys is it ok if i forgot to do my sabo and my restore tasks but did my purge before i left

[quaint stone]

yeah ive restarted game a few times after turning multiplayer off

and i still cant get a disassemble mission that isnt broken

rip

[hasty rampart]

Damn that sucks

Scale of one to ten how good would you consider this expedition currently

[quaint stone]

ive found it kinda frustrating, but also its free content for a game i love so im not really gonna be a hater

better than nothing for sure

[rapid flicker]

Time gate is taking a big toll on the enjoyment

[hasty rampart]

Yeah that’s understandable

I can’t even play it yet so that currently sucks it seems kinda cool but I can’t experience it

[inland niche]

I just did a disassembly mission, and it auto completed because it was already apart

[quaint stone]

mine just says 0/3 parts removed and nothing happens 🤔

[grave mauve]

9.6%?! Man, this core is taking slow to assemble.

[normal sentinel]

Good thing we got like 2 months

[inland niche]

We need the Xbox and switch players to boost the speed, lol

[rapid flicker]

A decent part of the community is hanging on the hope that it's gonna change once it hits every platform

[hasty rampart]

Biggest hindrance of fun the expedition has given

[inland niche]

It was definitely progressing at a slower rate in the first two days, I think

[hasty rampart]

?

[inland niche]

By the end of day 2, it wasnt even 3%, iirc

[open glen]

am i supposed to do something after i deconstruct the swarm wreck or do i just sit here and look pretty

[rapid flicker]

I'm just "preparing" for other things and trying to test for other ways to make points for my team

[hasty rampart]

Neat

[open glen]

thanks for answering lads

[frosty snow]

So I finally got to the prismatic core construction… I see what everyone is talking about now.

[scarlet relic]

Im gonna be curious which of the 3 factions will win, seems interesting

[frosty snow]

Why do I have to wait 30 minutes to do these😭

[hasty rampart]

Prismatic core?

[frosty snow]

In the anomaly

[hasty rampart]

Ooooooh ok

[inland niche]

Hahaha! 30 minutes... oh, thats funny

[frosty snow]

Don’t tell me it gets worse

[rapid flicker]

8 hours on every reset actually, the next refresh is just soon

[frosty snow]

Oh god I was so misinformed

[rapid flicker]

9 missions per day if you play on and off all day

[frosty snow]

🫠

[mental saddle]

Your quest was disassembly, right?
Did you finish it?

[hasty rampart]

Yeah that sounds awful

[inland niche]

Honestly, right now is the best time to be doing missions

[open glen]

yeah i didn't do the front core thing

[inland niche]

With the reset so soon, you can do 6 missions rather quickly

[analog ferry]

im using it to collect and max out gear, level up the ship and colossus and multi tool to the max

[hasty rampart]

Neat

[woven shadow]

Uh-oh! Did I get ||sent to the World of Glass for a bit|| there?

[rigid flare]

Ready to spread some sage propaganda!

[hasty rampart]

That looks very cool

[rigid flare]

Thanks! Its Custom made s class to help with the expedition, will probably make a replica on my main save as a trophy and reminder of this stupid expedition

[agile canyon]

I understand the time gating to make sure one team doesn't just suddenly run away with the score (you'd be amazed what a couple of dedicated players could do in such an event), but...

[woven shadow]

LOL this planet is ||Nerf Herder|| major

[hasty rampart]

Very nice

[chilly latch]

I feel like Countermeasures should've been a commnuity goal while the expedition is basically creating your own mirror against the hive and maybe even repurposing disassembled drones as a temporary fleet

[hasty rampart]

Sound like something that would happen

[rigid flare]

Oh hohoh definitely, you give 3 guys an entire day and they can pull it off

[normal sentinel]

I do like how they show the expedition progress in game

[hasty rampart]

Wouldn’t be surprised

[rigid flare]

Neat

[hasty rampart]

That is very cool

[reef skiff]

does anyone know when the expedition for swicth leaves

[gloomy carbon]

is it possible to win the emperor of glass fight? i had no idea what to do my target wouldnt lock on anything

[hasty rampart]

What is the emperor of glass

[agile canyon]

big spikey space starfish

[rigid flare]

Its scripted to lose, so you can continue on to the rest of the quest line

[hasty rampart]

Oooooooohh

[rigid flare]

Metal ball

[hasty rampart]

Ok

[tribal tulip]

gotta love it... my expedition progress is blocked because the first swarmer wreckage is just.. not there.

[rigid flare]

lol

[rigid flare]

😭

[hasty rampart]

I’m gonna keep bringing up the annoyance of being unable to play it

[tribal tulip]

why not

[hasty rampart]

Cause it’s so annoying

Cause this is my second expedition ever and my first time being able to have the full window

[quaint stone]

its gonna be another 2 months so you'll have time

[hasty rampart]

Yeah I know

Which is great I only discovered this expedition was available like 2 days ago

[small mulch]

hey all question, is it possible to find a sentinel ship on the starter planet of the expedition considering its a disonant planet?

[hasty rampart]

I mean probably

[tribal tulip]

I mean I don't see why not

[small mulch]

i been destroying dissonat resonators but no luck getting an echo locator thingy yet

[hasty rampart]

Oh you can see what it will drop if you get close enough so yeah

Good luck

[hasty rampart]

I tink

[tender tusk]

I've done it and you can get a sentinel ship on the starter planet or any other Dissonant planet

[small mulch]

kk thanks guys

im still new to the game so thought maybe it wasnt posible

[small mulch]

how can i tell what it drops if i get closer?

[hasty rampart]

It should say next to what it’s called idk haven’t tested it so don’t take my word too seriously

[small mulch]

oh it says what it has lol nvm

yeah just walked up to one, shows inverted mirror

[hasty rampart]

Oh so I was unknowingly correct

Yay

[zealous lance]

I just learned we don't have the portal glyphs in these saves so I can't go get a green sentinel ship for it to rep sages the way I was hoping I could :(

[hasty rampart]

Good luck on your sentinel ship search

[small mulch]

thanks!

[remote thunder]

sorry, just saw that you got it

[hasty rampart]

Yeah 😁

[small mulch]

what are the red circles supposed to mean?

[hasty rampart]

Sentinels

They are chasing you

[small mulch]

i mean on the image posted above

[remote thunder]

it was just me circling to identify things to look for when using visor - and in the case of the lower image, to illustrate that sometimes a dissonance resonator wont have an icon, but the sentinels guarding it will

[topaz spruce]

well for those that might've been curious about it... you are able to learn the Portal glyphs still on the expedition. i happened to find a leyline on a planet and got a couple of graves in the process

[small mulch]

ohh

[hasty rampart]

Circle on the sentinel indicator on the compass

[remote thunder]

there wouldnt be a blocker learning them, just that it's not as easy as usual

[mental saddle]

Impossible to get a corvette in expedition?

[topaz spruce]

still nice to know they didn't outright block it

[hasty rampart]

Looks it

[remote thunder]

correct

[hasty rampart]

Wasn’t there a trailer or something and they used a corvette class ship

[small mulch]

woo echo locator

[remote thunder]

keyword: "trailer" 😄

ig

[hasty rampart]

Hell yeah

[mental saddle]

Lame

[remote thunder]

remember that each sentinel ship will need 1 inv mirror+3 shards to do the claim process

[mental saddle]

They teased me

[remote thunder]

same

[mental saddle]

[hasty rampart]

I don’t watch trailers really so I don’t know

[mental saddle]

Although

The new multitool is pretty good

[hasty rampart]

The one from rewards?

[small mulch]

welp found something new at least hah

[hasty rampart]

Wanna know what I thought of when I saw the direwasp set

[topaz spruce]

the swarm planet i got has activated indium on it. might need to grab some.

[hasty rampart]

Nice

[pseudo jolt]

Perhaps they are planning to add active swarms to the main game? Otherwise the trailer was misleading indeed

[small mulch]

a new multi

now to see what ship i get

[hasty rampart]

Also nice

[mental saddle]

I mean, those are from old expeditions and not really part of this expedition's exclusive rewards

But it's nice

Ok, this sand planet looks REALLY GOOD

[small mulch]

i just wanted to get sentinel stuff cuz i never got one xD

[hasty rampart]

Nice

[hasty rampart]

Yeah it looks great

[hasty rampart]

Oooooh planet coords

[small mulch]

i got the game when the corvette expedition launched, completed that and life got in the way so never touched it again haha

[hasty rampart]

I got the game near the end of the remnant expedition

[topaz spruce]

i can't remember when i got the game anymore. it's been a long time

game finally had enough of me and crashed >.<

[hasty rampart]

Haha

[hasty rampart]

Damn

[small mulch]

woooooo

[topaz spruce]

stop farming nanites sir, this isn't a wendy's

[high wing]

Hey all, I've looked and can't find any official announcement. Is Hello Games working on a hotfix for XBOX, so that we can have crossplay back? Or is it planned for later? Kind of bummed that I can't play this expedition with xbox friends as a group, because their version is different. Thanks

[hasty rampart]

Oooh hell yeah

[hasty rampart]

No

[small mulch]

oh crap need a harmonic brain x.x

[hasty rampart]

Yep

[small mulch]

thought the ship was supposed to give a hyaline brain?

this one has nothing ::S

[hasty rampart]

Huh that’s odd

[topaz spruce]

normally it should, if you had multiplayer on it might've glitched

try turning it off and logging out and back into the game

[small mulch]

mmm says to get a hyaline brain i need to take down an interceptor

[inland niche]

Maybe the hive stole it, lol

[hasty rampart]

That would make sense

Also how do I access multiplayer settings

[small mulch]

:S

[hasty rampart]

I still don’t know

[small mulch]

from network options

[hasty rampart]

I seeeeeee

[small mulch]

it only has this option

how do i get interceptors to spawn tho..just shoot sentinels?

[hasty rampart]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[hasty rampart]

These ships are procedurally generated you don’t shoot down sentinel ships

[woven shadow]

Oh! I have to wait until tomorrow for more missions?

[small mulch]

see sayig to increase my wanted level in space

[hasty rampart]

That’s for a brain it says

[inland niche]

Yeah, a hyaline brain is needed to make a harmonic brain

[topaz spruce]

there is one other way to get a hyaline brain but .... not exactly safe. shoot the sentinels on the planet, fly up into space and fight them in the space above the planet. there's a chance one of the interceptors will drop a brain for you

[small mulch]

cool thanks

[hasty rampart]

Hmmmm new info nice

[topaz spruce]

you might have to get to Alert 3 or 4 though

[small mulch]

space as in outside the planet or just flying?

[topaz spruce]

literally up in space

so fly up until it says you're not in the atmosphere anymore

or if you want to be super cheeky .... just shoot the actual space station and go immediately to level 4 and fight an entire fleet of them at once >.<

[inland niche]

I do think just flying will have interceptors show up

[burnt chasm]

dude all of these bases i cant make a refiner!! lol

[hasty rampart]

The farthest I’ve gotten in interceptor fights is the sentinel freighter

[topaz spruce]

i like to destroy Sentinel Dreadnaughts for fun so i picked up tons of hyaline brains in the process. they refine into 250 nanites each also

[hasty rampart]

Very cool

[topaz spruce]

drop it literally next to your spaceship

[hasty rampart]

So is that what the sentinel freighter led are called

[topaz spruce]

yeah the Dreadnaughts also drop AI Carrier Fragments that let you get another sentinel ship as well so worth fighting just for that if you aren't lucky with Echo Locators

[floral dust]

quick menu, scroll right, report, no more base

[burnt chasm]

i wandered off lol, ill head back

[hasty rampart]

I haven’t beaten any dreadnaughts yet

[inland niche]

Expedition systems can have several bases located in the same area

[delicate elk]

omg fellow hk fan

[hasty rampart]

Yes hello

[topaz spruce]

they're not easy cause they keep spawning sentinel interceptors forever. it's one of the few battles having your own fighter squadron actually kind of helps cause they can draw fire

[burnt chasm]

that worked thanks

[hasty rampart]

Yeah I saw one after a while of interceptors and left cause I doubt I can kill it if I can’t kill pirate Freighters

[kind jasper]

hi [fellow] HK fan

[high wing]

friend me in game and we'll go get you an S-Class pirate freighter. It's not difficult. Or, there's a thousand tuts online that you can follow.

[hasty rampart]

Well I haven’t exactly tried pirate freighters

[topaz spruce]

Pirate Freighters are 100 times easier. you just blow up the engines and take out their freighter cannons. the Sentinel Dreadnaught you have to blow it up entirely

[floral dust]

I came across a base, I think last night, built around a swarm wreckage, not covering it up like others have done. It was accessible, and as soon as I got near it, the mission completed. I still don't understand how it happened.

[hasty rampart]

How do I friend people in nms I haven’t even seen any other players

[hasty rampart]

Yep that’s why I left when I saw it I just noped out of it

[high wing]

A pirate freighter is a Dreadnaught. It's the capital freighter.

[hasty rampart]

Mmmmhhhhmmmmm

[topaz spruce]

turn multiplayer on so you can actually see them. but if you got steam friends give them your friend code they can join you in main saves

[hasty rampart]

I haven’t had multiplayer off I don’t think

[mental saddle]

Decent ship I found during expedition... I forgot where I found it

[hasty rampart]

I don’t have steam

[mental saddle]

[hasty rampart]

That’s cool

[hasty rampart]

Or a pc that works yet

[topaz spruce]

that's weird. first time i took a mission at core and didn't get auto warped after leaving anomaly

[kind jasper]

that can happen?????

[topaz spruce]

yeah i guess it can.

[floral dust]

sometimes it happens if you've visited that particular area

in that case you'd just teleport to the space station

[topaz spruce]

it didn't even do that. i left anomaly and it said "target is in another system. access galaxy map"

[gilded orchid]

Is ichor just for refining to nanites?

[hasty rampart]

Ichor?

[small mulch]

i give up, bunch of interceptors spawned, all i got was a damn mirror

[kind jasper]

YOu CaN DO ThAt!?!!?

[small mulch]

then a capital sentinel ship spawned

[hasty rampart]

Oh hell yeah I like that

[kind jasper]

thats fire

[gilded orchid]

Yes, but not the greatest ratio

[eternal dagger]

I am Sorry fellow Weavers but. I'm very eepy and can't do This batch of missions I promise I'll do all of em tomorrow lmao

[hasty rampart]

What is ichor?

[inland niche]

Its 5 times better than pugneum

[mental saddle]

What mission you at?

[gilded orchid]

So that’s good

[hasty rampart]

Pungeum?

[mental saddle]

You may have to disable multiplayer temporarily for some missions, since they can be bugged

[kind jasper]

👀 its ok i forgot to do the last cycles restore and sabo missions

[small mulch]

very beginning was trying to get a sentinel ship on the starter planet but someone took the brain

[mental saddle]

It's so much annoying to get tho

[kind jasper]

wait

[topaz spruce]

right now... we're not sure if we need it for the last couple steps.

[kind jasper]

what does refining pugneum result in….

[hasty rampart]

Wait I know what pungeum is I have over 4000

[mental saddle]

Nanite

[kind jasper]

wtf

how did i not know this

[hasty rampart]

You can refine pungeum?

[topaz spruce]

Pugneum is a nanites.

[gilded orchid]

I wonder if you can cook with ichor

[inland niche]

Pugneum is 25:1 nanites
Ichor is 5:1 nanites

[hasty rampart]

I didn’t know either

[inland niche]

Basically its the same as refining runaway mould

[kind jasper]

so i should go farm sentinels for all the mats they drop in the expedition….

[topaz spruce]

that's why i farm Atlantedium .... Atlantedium refines into Pugnuem 1 into 2, then Pugneum refines into Nanites i think 15 to 1 or 10 to 1.

[kind jasper]

It DOrED

what

[inland niche]

Pugneum is 25:1

[kind jasper]

how tf did i bot know atlant goes to pugn which goes to nanites

[hasty rampart]

So 4000 pungeum would refin into?

[topaz spruce]

it's not super efficient but it is useful

[inland niche]

160 nanites

[kind jasper]

160 nanites?

[gilded orchid]

Can’t cook with ichor unfortunately

[hasty rampart]

Network settings for multiplayer correct?

Do I need be in a save or

[topaz spruce]

all i know is when i drive around in my Colossus, it scoops up atlantideum while i'm shooting radiant shards and dissonance resonators and the combination gives me a good stack of nanites just for driving around

[hasty rampart]

Oh hell yeah

[inland niche]

The radiant shards and resonators are where most of those nanites come from

[hasty rampart]

I’m very confused

[small mulch]

holy christ why are kmb so shit for piloting the ship, im nauseous cant even land

[topaz spruce]

is true, but when you drive around long enough for your colossus to stack 9,999 atlantideum still a nice bonus

[topaz spruce]

try switching to first person. i find it easy to pilot the ship that way

[mental saddle]

Kmb?

[small mulch]

im just waiting on my controller to charge, this is insane xD never got dizzy before with a game

keyboard and mouse

[kind jasper]

can you put a refiner on ur colossus maybe so u csn run around more?

[topaz spruce]

see i can't play this game with a controller at all. too sluggish.

[tender tusk]

my ship control style is more on locked but with really low sensitivity

[hasty rampart]

Not from what I’ve seen

[small mulch]

maybeits the sensitivity i cant stand it

[topaz spruce]

you can't make the refiner since no quartzite. i just pop it in my backpack as i go

[kind jasper]

like physically on top of it i meant

like glitch it ontop

[mental saddle]

Oooohh... Yeah, I only play with a controller, unless I'm building stuff or tryharding against sentinels on land...

[topaz spruce]

normally you can put a large refiner on the colossus but it requires activated quartzite. we don't get purple systems right now

[gloomy carbon]

idk how people play nms on consoles im constantly clicking the wrong buttons

[hasty rampart]

Damn

[kind jasper]

how is there enough buttons on console like???? i use like 20 on pc

[gloomy carbon]

real

[topaz spruce]

double button binds

[hasty rampart]

Nothing on the network stuff

[topaz spruce]

like X+Y to do one thing, L1+L2 for another, etc

[gloomy carbon]

im still trying to get used to nms on my switch so i can play offline whenever but im hopeless so far lol

[inland niche]

What?

Since when?

[azure stream]

[hasty rampart]

How do I access network settings or whatever multiplayer stuff

[inland niche]

The colossus refiner thing existed before purple systems did

[azure stream]

it'll just say "network"

or sumn

uhh guys what happened?

[mental saddle]

Covertte parts exist, but I can't use them at all

thats

[mental saddle]

Network...? What?

[inland niche]

You can make a mineral processing rig using magnetized ferrite, hydraulic wiring, and microprocessors

[topaz spruce]

you could store the ones you really, really want for transfer at the end of it. or sell them for the millions of units

I’m on switch and confused about multiplayer settings

And the fact I can’t play the damn expedition

[topaz spruce]

expedition reset is every 8 hours

[eternal dagger]

What expedition was it from

[topaz spruce]

Switch hasn't updated yet probably.

[hasty rampart]

From what I’ve seen the update came out the 27th and for me it’s the 31st

[strong otter]

Ok. I wasn’t sure. I did 6 this evening and it wasn’t resetting so I wasn’t sure if I had to go to a different system or wait for a timer

[topaz spruce]

if you pull up the Countermeasures task in your log and open the progress bit and hover over one of the completed bits, it'll show the reset timer

[kind jasper]

i started playing again yesterday and started the exp

[strong otter]

Sweet, thank ya!

[hasty rampart]

From what I saw 10 singularity

[signal igloo]

feels like today the interval is 7 hours- not 8? anyone notice that?

[topaz spruce]

some of the planets do if you want to make a colossus and haul it. i've done it a couple times.

just nanites from what i've seen.

[inland niche]

not all the consoles are updated yet

[solemn pebble]

I'm on pc.

[hasty rampart]

I can’t either it’s been four days for me

[solemn pebble]

steam

[topaz spruce]

then you should be able to

[tender tusk]

Go to the Anomaly

[solemn pebble]

ive gotten no update or anything

I wish extreme planets gave double points.

[solemn pebble]

I'm at the anomaly lmao

it says no expedition available

[hasty rampart]

Same here

[solemn pebble]

nevermind it literally just updated

Switch?

[hasty rampart]

Yes

[sharp turtle]

it's not on switch

current update

[signal igloo]

i opted for the diverse groups of weapons

[sharp turtle]

also I think it's not available on PC through the Microsoft store either

[signal igloo]

well one miner one digger one shooter

[sharp turtle]

only steam and GOG

[hasty rampart]

What the hell I looked it up and it said it came to switch and it came to switch the 27th

[signal igloo]

its the shoty tho very productive

[topaz spruce]

check #nms-news-ticker and scroll up a bit to see what your update might've been then

there's nothing about the expedition update there for it

[hasty rampart]

6.36 ok

I’m very confused

[sharp turtle]

that version is xenoarena

the previous update

[hasty rampart]

I know that but actually I’m not really surprised the internet or the ai overview was wrong

[sharp turtle]

Yeah

the AI answer is not always trustworthy

[hasty rampart]

Not surprised just annoyed

[mental saddle]

Anyways, not my favorite

[hasty rampart]

When did this expedition come out first

[topaz spruce]

the 28th

[hasty rampart]

That’s a lot of damage

[hasty rampart]

Ok

[mental saddle]

Meh

It was supposed to be focused on mining, but without double laser it is meh

[hasty rampart]

My dedicated harmy multitool has half

[mental saddle]

I can make it for damage, would probably be better

[hasty rampart]

Double laser?

[mental saddle]

Main save mt

[topaz spruce]

Sentinel Multitools have a Hijacked Laser, you can add the Regular Laser to it for extra .
Same with a staff tool, it has that Runic Lens and you can add Laser to it.

[hasty rampart]

Oooh I haven’t gotten any sentinel tools I actually like over my staff

[hasty rampart]

Damn 16k damage potential

[topaz spruce]

not even the final form.

[hasty rampart]

W hv at the hell

[topaz spruce]

you can push those to around 20,000

[hasty rampart]

Ahem what the hell

[hasty rampart]

What the what the hell

[mental saddle]

For damage it is better than mining, for sure

If it had better positions on supercharged slot, probably even higher potential

We take what we get

[hasty rampart]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I am feeling a bit of jealousy at those damage numbers

[mental saddle]

This is without any tricks, btw. Pure vanilla gun.

[mental saddle]

Find yourself a couple of these

(it took me way too long)

[hasty rampart]

I haven’t the space on my tools

[mental saddle]

Normal, save the gun for when you get on main save, then you can grind it more easily

Though you are supposed to get some expansion slots from missions, no?

[hasty rampart]

Expedition or normal save?

[topaz spruce]

this one is my main save sentinel and it's not even optimized yet. i just kinda slapped it together as i went

[hasty rampart]

Damn jealousy again

[tranquil pewter]

Hg has reallllly gotta turn off pvp by default, there was a griefer killing everyone at one of the mission objectives

[hasty rampart]

I’m confused why double laser though

[tender tusk]

Neutron Cannon 4SC Square

[topaz spruce]

more damage output and better mining. the benefits of the lasers stack

[hasty rampart]

Oooooooooih yummy

[topaz spruce]

honestly if i spent an hour or so optimizing the layout i could probably break 30,000 damage potential on this

[mental saddle]

Yeah, same weapon as me, but way better position for stuff

Although I use mine exclusively for mining

[mental saddle]

You can fire it for WAY TOO LONG without overheating

[hasty rampart]

More tasty

[mental saddle]

It's like

Minutes of continuous laser?

[hasty rampart]

Now with that image of continued laser yummy even more

Truly scrumptious

[topaz spruce]

this one is my korvax staff tool i never finished adding stuff to

[hasty rampart]

Korvax staff?

[topaz spruce]

expedition reward

[hasty rampart]

I find the name funny

[hasty rampart]

Which one if you recall

[topaz spruce]

uh.... gimme a minute LUL

[hasty rampart]

My staff has merely 445 damage potential so I’m jealous of seeing high damage potential

[hasty rampart]

What’s that red orb thing in the tool

[topaz spruce]

it's from Expedition 12. it's called the Atlas Sceptre

[hasty rampart]

Very cool

What this

[topaz spruce]

the red orb is a model of the Atlas itself. the in-game desc says it was used by a priest of the Korvax to honor the Atlas

[hasty rampart]

I seeeeeeee I love that very cool

[topaz spruce]

that bit is the Runic Lens for the staff... it's a combination Mining Laser & Cloaking Device

[hasty rampart]

Ok very cool

[topaz spruce]

that's why certain multi tools you can stack double lasers cause the existing one is a "special" item even though it still links to laser mods

[hasty rampart]

The name of the staff I find funny come get some

[hasty rampart]

I see more damage

[topaz spruce]

i used to be a competitive Duke Nukem 3D player. "come get some" was one of his lines in the game

[hasty rampart]

Cool

[topaz spruce]

almost 10% core progress yo.

[hasty rampart]

Cool I think

[chrome orchid]

Indeed a fun fact

[mental saddle]

So, it took 17 minutes and 20 seconds for it to overheat

And after overheating it reset back to 0 in one second

[topaz spruce]

one of my friends made his Atlas Sceptre in such a way it never hit overheat. it was infinite mining

[mental saddle]

Not infinite, you run out of fuel

As I almost did lol

[topaz spruce]

well fuel aside, his overheat bar never moved

[mental saddle]

I think 1 more supercharged aside and I'd be on that level

My overheat bar stayed on max for like

2 minutes

You start a new save

As an expedition

if you start the Expedition as a new file no

So if you’re brand new to the game, you start the expedition as a new file, that’s your first experience in the game. Can that afterwards be transferred to a regular save file to kind of give you a head start?

Or

[topaz spruce]

yes

it'll become your main save that way

[molten mulch]

Okay

[hasty rampart]

It’s a normal file just you get started in an expedition

[topaz spruce]

either way, your time and effort isn't wasted

[normal sentinel]

Don’t worry about it, I got to do an irl job, can’t be here as much as I want

[molten mulch]

Okay because my friend is getting started playing and I was just wondering if it would be best for him to just start on the expedition and go from there

[topaz spruce]

well good thing the bit we're on is an 8-hour reset. so you can literally do missions, go to work, come home and do missions. at least get 6 out of the 9 per day done that way

[topaz spruce]

expeditions aren't made for newbies cause it skips some vital steps, but if they help it isn't so bad

[kind jasper]

r u fcking kidding me.

if u switch off of terrain manipulator during the restore quest you lose all progress

[molten mulch]

He got started but on my account, he knows the basics but now he has his own device to play on

[rapid flicker]

Considering the expedition takes a month at best, he's better off making a main save, as he'll miss a good couple of features for that time

[topaz spruce]

ye, people found out the hard way.

[molten mulch]

Restore is actually cooked

[molten mulch]

Understood thank you

[rapid flicker]

Entering any exocraft also resets it

[kind jasper]

thats why the first time i did it, it took like 20 debri 😭

[kind jasper]

good to know

[topaz spruce]

a good way to get around that is to buy the Minotaur Geobay, deck it out enough so it can fight with AI and summon it to your side

[chilly latch]

It'd be really cool if the rocket actually went INTO the space station and de-rendered when it goes into the lil doorway

[topaz spruce]

let the Minotaur bodyguard you while you move

[clear spear]

Countermeasures is going to take all 2 months it feels like...

[chilly latch]

I wish we could get on the top of the minotaur and direct it around
I know you can just pilot it but people usually use the mech as a big ol' bodyguard

[burnt chasm]

do we just wait now?

[chilly latch]

They should really make these missions clientside and change when you finish them

[clear spear]

Pretty much, I have Multiplayer turned off and I am at 9% as well

[burnt chasm]

they probably shoulda done it a little different

im just gonna return to my main save then

[topaz spruce]

yep. come back in 6 hours. or farm nanites and scrap ships and things while you wait.

this expedition is a gold mine for sentinel ships, and harmonic camp multi tools to get expansion slots

[thin bone]

Anyone notice the point amounts don't account for the other teams' sabotages?

[abstract tinsel]

no it does

[thin bone]

Does it? The math isn't mathing then

[mental saddle]

If 1000 people sabotage for -2 and 1000 people complete mission for +2, what do you think will happen?

[thin bone]

Sabotages are -1 for each of the other two factions though

[formal cape]

if all factions are getting -1'd equally...

[topaz spruce]

if you do all 3 missions yourself... your faction gets +5 and the other two will get +1

[undone lance]

What faction are yall in?

[abstract tinsel]

royal

[kind jasper]

weavers prob just have most active players

[undone lance]

I’m a weaver and I can confirm

[kind jasper]

especially now that others r more demoralized due to the high gap

[topaz spruce]

it'll help when switch & xbox finally join the party.

[thin bone]

Let me write out the math, if it'll help
taking these numbers, I'll do the math for weavers
100,656 * 3 = 301,968 (Purge)
2 * (92,967 + 88,631 + 86,337) = 535,870 (Restore missions from all factions, since each is +2 to all)
301,968 + 535,870 = 837,838 (Which is the same as the total point value for weavers seen in the screenshot)

[thin bone]

People don't complete all 3 all the time though

[mental saddle]

People shouldn't be doing sabotage, if the progress is all 3 scores added

[icy hazel]

It’s not

[mental saddle]

Then do sabotage

[icy hazel]

Granted, I still think it’s time based

I hope things change when all consoles get access and a few days to join up

But we’ll see

[thin bone]

Why isn't it though?
This line from the countermeasures mission gives the impression the progress is dictated by the total points between the three factions

If it only counted the amount of missions done, then there would be no differences in impact

[icy hazel]

I interpret it different, the rate and balance being score, but the missions themselves all go against the swarm

Which is working towards building core. Until someone gives a 100% answer based off code, we’ll never know.

[chilly latch]

Someone made a Mold Farm so now I have the nanites for the Wraith

[lavish stream]

how far along is the community? Last I checked we were 9%

Trying archive and reinstalling

Cause most everywhere said it was out

Faaaaaaah

[thin bone]

Okay yeah you're right, I did the math

[hasty rampart]

Didn’t work

[topaz spruce]

i would trust the discord bot Gunter's update in #nms-news-ticker over anything else

[hasty rampart]

Yeah probably

[topaz spruce]

tomorrow is Monday and everyone is back in the office for the console companies so maybe it'll drop then

[hasty rampart]

That would make sense

[sly pewter]

can't dig powders to make glass

[topaz spruce]

report the bases around you in the quick menu

[gilded grove]

To confirm.. This expedition doesn't allow us to use corvettes?

[icy hazel]

Correct

[gilded grove]

Sadge... 🙁

[topaz spruce]

no corvettes at all, no bringing ships from your safe file, but you can copy your expedition reward ships in

[icy hazel]

Can also find ships

[charred magnet]

You should have the terrain manipulator installed, and just aim at the ground

[gilded grove]

I'll wait till the next expedition, need me that corvette life. Hehe

[icy hazel]

Move away from bases

[delicate elk]

10% y'all

we're almost doneeee

why did I say we're almost done

my bad

[icy hazel]

Lmaoooo

[delicate elk]

I am so tired lmao

[topaz spruce]

he might be dealing with the trolling base computers everywhere too. that prevents terrain manip

[thin bone]

My math has also shown me the likely amount of missions that need to be completed, somewhere around 8.25 million

[charred magnet]

1% is 250k

[sly pewter]

how was the extra permission block from base? 600u or 100u sth?

[thin bone]

If that were the case we would be less than 4% complete

[kind jasper]

since when were we 9k ahead of royals 👀

[icy hazel]

The radius is 300 from a base computer

insane

[charred magnet]

I just remember that the weavers and sage were at 1% and sage were 0% but the total was 3%

[thin bone]

1% is around 82,500 if we say 8.25 mil is 100%

[icy hazel]

If that’s true, not doubting your math, that’s another reason why I think it’s currently time gated

The rate of missions completion will absolutely fall off after a month (at best)

[thin bone]

Yeah lol, the problem is that currently I don't exactly think we have enough people doing their missions rn
hopefully console players boost it by a bit

[icy hazel]

They will, for a couple of weeks, but I also think hg will change the rate if it’s not time gated, or it will pretty much prove it is

[kind jasper]

since when did radiant shards give 50 nanites each when refined

[icy hazel]

Think since always

[thin bone]

really? ig I never tried to do that

[icy hazel]

I can check the fandom for confirmation

[charred magnet]

Less useful but inverted mirrors give 95 nanites each

[boreal sleet]

Weaver for life, im painting all my bases blue, im putting flags

[sly pewter]

400u away from any player base and i still cannt dig with manipulator

[kind jasper]

tbf i was just driving in a colossus just farming shit so i got like 100 shards

[icy hazel]

Keep moving then, or report the base and reload game

[glacial pelican]

can u use glypth travel while on expedition?

If you managed to unlock all the glyphs yea

LOOK AT MY TEAM WINNING AS USUAL LETS GO

[kind jasper]

so like if we just dont ever do sabotage we can win faster……

[glacial pelican]

I HAVE NO CLUE HOW BUT LETS GO

[thin bone]

I was talking in amount of missions, still unsure if it is based on missions or amount of points

[glacial pelican]

wonder how long ill take for the 100%

[icy hazel]

There’s no proof of points being related to progress

[charred magnet]

It's kinda hard to quantify due to number of missions though, but if you do all 3 it's closer to your number

It does seem to be based on points though

[glacial pelican]

is this possible or dissabled?

[icy hazel]

If you find all the glyphs you could

[tender tusk]

I've seen travellers at stations and trade outposts so it might be possible

[glacial pelican]

do u have acess to glypth travel in the expedition?

i want to check some sentinel ships

but i cant

and since i cant use my corvetter i want to see a nice ship while i play :3

[solemn bane]

Yeah, unlock you get the glyphs

[glacial pelican]

can i dm them to u?

[thin bone]

I think it might just be amount of missions, lemme write out the math rq lol

[glacial pelican]

i got screenshots!

[solemn bane]

Oh, lol, sorry, I thought you were asking of glyph travel was possible

[glacial pelican]

yeah

i didnt find the glyps on my main save yet so idk how to use them

[sly pewter]

no player base within 1000u and still cannot.

[icy hazel]

That’d be accurate atm, but if you want to be sure, you’ll have to check at different times, probably check around this time tomorrow or Tuesday and do the math again to confirm if it’s still accurate

[solemn bane]

No, I mean I took "do u have acess to glypth travel in the expedition?" to mean "is it possible to glyph travel in this expedition?"

I do not have the glyphs unlocked.

[glacial pelican]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

my bad then

does anyone have them unlocked on expedition?

[solemn bane]

My bad too, for not reading the context, lol

[surreal raven]

so, at this point do we wait/do until the prisim is constructed?

[glacial pelican]

nah dont worry

[icy hazel]

Yes

What

[glacial pelican]

yes to what message? im confused

[icy hazel]

The message directly above what you tagged

[glacial pelican]

ohhhhhh

[icy hazel]

To answer your question, people might have them, but finding the glyphs manually would be a long process so people probably aren’t actively trying to

[glacial pelican]

do u know someone that might have them unlocked?

[icy hazel]

Your best bet is looking through bases if they marked them, all I can tell you

[glacial pelican]

the chances of that are so low, even more when u consier the base trolling

[icy hazel]

Just go to a space station or anamoly and scroll through player bases

[solemn bane]

You got time

[icy hazel]

There’s probably s rank ships marked anyway

[glacial pelican]

i have an s rank, i care more about the looks tho

thats why im looking for glyps

[kind jasper]

i got one glyph accidently

[thin bone]

If it were based off points and not missions, the total number of points needed for the core to be finished would be 25 million
Weavers here would only have 3.4% (846,658 / 25,000,000 = 0.03386)
Royals would have 3.3% (836,902 / 25,000,000 = 0.03347)
Sages would also have 3.3% (830,206 / 25,000,000 = 0.03320)
And again I'm still pretty sure that point total for each team doesn't account for the other teams' sabotages
Pretty sure these percentages don't align with the tiers on the tier command either

Do this again at a later date and see if the rate is still consistent

[kind jasper]

what r some good ways to get money in the exp

[solemn bane]

Sell interceptors

[tender tusk]

Find harmonic camps, get sentinel ships and salvage them for AI valves

[thin bone]

Yeah i will likely do that, but just sayin that the mission %'s line up better

[kind jasper]

so just go fly around dissonance planets

[mental saddle]

We broke through 10% 🔥

[kind jasper]

holy shit i found an alien MT

[mental saddle]

If you find freighters, blast them
Then sell their stuff too
Also, sentinels and dissonant stuff

[solemn bane]

You can look for the inverted mirror guys and they sometimes have maps. Or you can kill all the waves of corrupted sentinels and they will tell you where an interceptor is.

[tender tusk]

yes as some planets have bases on them or communication balls to mark sentinel ship locations

[sweet axle]

I can only copy one tool from the expedition to the main save right? the experimental I copied stays in the expedition if I copy the expedition tool, right?

[solemn bane]

If you get a Neutron Cannon with three S tier upgrades the sentinels will become comically easy

[mental saddle]

You will be able to copy to main save the tool you have equipped at the end of the expedition

So make sure you have the one you want equipped

After expeditions end, you can't go back

[sweet axle]

I can already copy right now mid expedition, I'm just going to copy the expedition one, I'll get another experimental for scanning later

[turbid bluff]

So once you get to phase 2 step 4 you just have to wait on a community event to move on? I thought there were people that completed the expedition already and got the new armor set

[mental saddle]

[sweet axle]

you mean phase 3 step 4, yeah it's a waiting game, people who got the armor save edit somehow probably

[turbid bluff]

Oh I see and yes phase 3

[mental saddle]

We are stuck on phase 3

And yes

Every expedition is like that, although this one is specially slow

[sweet axle]

55 days is a lot, but, the rewards are pretty good, multitool, backpack and armor set, super nice

[mental saddle]

It's always like that

Although we usually get a special ship at the end, so we'll see

[sweet axle]

yeah I'm not taking that starter fighter

[mental saddle]

Nah, we usually get unique ships

That one is just a generic crappy ship you can find anywhere

[lavish stream]

what % are we at right now?

[tender tusk]

10.1%

[full sun]

Does anyone know if I can play this expedition offline? I can connect thru my phone to get into my current expedition save, but Im currently camping, and have completed the main part of the expedition. I just want to see if I can do the community stuff on my steam deck and connect when I get home to credit the missions I have done.

[lavish stream]

I believe so? Can someone confirm

[solemn bane]

You need to be online to download the expedition config. Once you have that you can go offline until phase 3. In phase 3 you need to be online to get the swarm qeusts from the core.

[full sun]

Ok, so just connect long enough to complete the three quests

[solemn bane]

Aye. On the experimental branch they say you'll be able to interact with the core offline.

[sweet axle]

I probably didn't understand something but, I copied the tool into the main save and after that got a message that I can also collect one from the quicksilver companion, and it seems I can claim a new one... also apparently my experimental is still available in the main save so cool beans

<:expedition:950228868080467978> **Expedition Tips**

Leviathan Expedition ends <t:1657062000:f>
⚠️ You must start your save at least 48 hours before that time. Give yourself ample time for completing this expedition as it's a "roguelike" survival / permadeath experience.

• Save often: Auto-save with starship, manual save with save points. Keep manual and auto saves synchronized.

• Save before claiming a reward, in case the reward glitches. Save after receiving the reward, in case the game crashes after.

• Don't hoard stuff early on. Exosuit storage is not abundant when you start out. Before you can upgrade storage, only keep items for active quests or what you need for survival (e.g., oxygen or life support gel, sodium or sodium nitrate for hazard protection). Sell or discard everything else. Hover over loot you come across, the item card says what you can use it for.

• Update Multiplayer configurations: Disable PvP and Base permissions to reduce potential headaches, like being griefed by other players. If you experience glitches, especially in heavily populated areas, including the Space Anomaly or warping with your freighter, disable Multiplayer and reload your save. See multiplayer visual guide »

[lofty crest]

If you need units early on try farming Ancestral Memories! I got all of these from a single creature pellet and still have the extra 200 not shown in the screenshot to turn in for the quest, just find a big group of animals, throw a creature pellet on the ground, and once they all converge on the pellet repeatedly harvest them for ancestral memories! Only requirements are some creature pellets and a big group of animals

Leviathan woot woot!

[pale light]

hello

can someone tell me what im supposed to do now? https://i.imgur.com/l3kSgo1.jpeg

[fringe agate]

Sigh, forgot discord pins shenanigans

[pale light]

i did 7 missions in the first loop but im not sure what to do now game isnt really clear

[fringe agate]

Link doesn't work for me on mobile, says it's gone

[indigo falcon]

you should be able to go work on the second phase

[pale light]

its just the first loop with me finishing 7 out of 8 "missions"

[obtuse mirage]

How do you find them is it just random

[pale light]

oh so i just pick any of the missions in loop 2?

[indigo falcon]

the optional one you can move on for now

I don't know how much order plays into things in this expd

I think you can collect the phase 1 reward already though

[pale light]

well its the best i can try tbh. so i will. thanks for your help. wish the game would tell me "hey you finished loop 1, move on to loop 2 idiot"

[indigo falcon]

😄

[pale light]

oh you mean the blueprints for the posters? yeah got those. do i have them on every save now?

[indigo falcon]

yes you do.

[rich mural]

Question about expeditions from a newbie… is the current expedition the same as the ones under the community ones in the game where it says 6 Weeks?

[indigo falcon]

although I would claim them aon another save just to make sure
