let alone the fact nobody will actually help and only tell me what to

that's because you're asking questions in the #nms-expedition channel
nimble wing
i tried in normal and got yelled at by a mod to go here 😐
remote thunder
have you tried #nms-lfg-or-trades ?
"lfg" looking for group
this being said, it really shouldn't take more than a few hours to complete it on your own, especially if you already know the ropes
review all the milestone rewards, see what you can easily complete , push towards anchor points first, anchor point 1 system has a toxic moon that has storm crystals, can gather a few of those to sell for units
in single player, use photo mode to become immune to weather effects if you don't want to die
see pinned posts here for more tips too
latent brook
all the planets i land on make my hazard protection look like a 3 second timer
All you have to do is wait for the storm to clear on the first planet, look for bones, get off of the first planet, use the money to buy 100 life support and shield recharge
Never have to worry about weather again
I just ran for 10 minutes in a storm that drained my shielding in 7 seconds

The rewards for the 5th tier is just more memory fragments and inventory slot upgrades right?
indigo falcon
@nimble wing you're on at a different time than I am so I'm not going to be able to help much. But I can say that once you get to Anchor point 1 and put a small base (16 pieces I think) down there, you can claim the milestone "The Anchor" and get the minotaur geobay. This will let you worry a whole lot less about environmental hazards.
Of course you have to get that far first; after the first time you talk to Polo at the Anomaly, all 4 of the completed community milestones become claimable, and that includes some memory fragments. The Iterate/Repeat milestone gives a couple memory fragments too; one of these might include some sort of environmental protection. Of course that's no guarantee.
When I did this run, as an exclusively normal-mode player, I got to the ship as quickly as possible, gathering whatever resources I could find directly en route with no detours. I waited out all storms in the ship, waited out all predators in the ship (yep, that's slow, that's also life, my life in particular! :-P), let hazard protection fully recharge, and ran out for short stints only to gather things I was missing. DiHydrogen was high on that list. As soon as I had 50 dihy and 50 carbon I repaired the terrain manipulator, which allowed me to stay out of the ship longer, and actually get mats for repairs. I also made use of the 2 ion batteries we start with, and the 5 life support gels and 8 ion batteries we got for reaching the ship. Oh also, when I needed to refine anything, I put down the portable refiner right next to the ship, started it up, and hopped back in the ship to wait a little while before checking to see if it was done. Overly cautious? Maybe. Slow? Yep. Lived to tell the tale? Also yep.
@nimble wing I wanted a little spending money so I could buy more life support gels and ion batteries after visiting Polo/the space station; digging up salvaged data for a few salvaged data modules, or if you happen to be very fortunate and be near some, digging up some ancient bones, can get you that. Then you're ready to leave. Low-fly and strafe plants and rocks before you head to space for more materials, and when you are done talking to Polo and have gotten those basic supplies at the space station, you can head to another planet in the system, Mezenus Uttsu, toxic but no storms or predators, to look for cobalt, gather ancestral memories, mine liquid sun, get more things to sell for units, stock up on materials for lanuch fuel and all that. At this point you should be out of the "jfc everything is trying to kill me" mode and back to more usual survival tactics.
Hope this helps, good luck!

Bases created by you remain, including freighter base, but no contents in containers, nor any other inventory; if you build bases on each anchor world you can go there from the first space station and save a lot of travel and warp fuel.
The partners in time milestone remains, when you go to Polo the first time after the reset you get this again.
You will automatically get the Iterate/Repeat milestone shortly after spawning in.
Any discoveries you made or animals you scanned stay scanned, so you get secondary minerals automatically, and if you scanned all fauna you can get the nanites again.
sick kelp
if it's the environment killing before making ship focus on repairing your terrain manipulator as soon as you spawn then you can just dig a tunnel for the storms and such to recharge shield when away from ship
indigo falcon
you have two goals initially: avoid storms and predators, get to your ship. note that you have two ion batteries to help you get there, no life support gel though, so grab carbon and dihydrogen en route if you see it. and get away from any red paw thing. jetpack a tiny bit (carefully) if you have to. as soon as you see the paw get a move on.
you can do this.

if you want it trying to hook you up with a ton of stuff including units just gotta add me

Finding Outlaw Systems
Requires economy scanner or conflict scanner installed on ship.
In the galaxy map, look for systems with a small pirate skull left of the Economy type icon and identified as Black Market, or with Conflict level set to Pirate Controlled.

economy scanner is the cheapest way
select the system and look for "Black Market" at the end of the economy description

I finished the expedition last night and now am going to try getting to the cent...
oh! ok that's a great challenge
in the meantime if you want the server role for the expedition, you can get it! see the pins in here on how to do it 🙂
minor laurel
As soon as I could summon the anomaly in the expedition, I switched the starter ship for the Golden Vector and scrapped some twitch reward ships for instant money. So that's a bit of a boost straight away.
indigo falcon
who cares indeed
minor laurel
Without more upgrades, my hyperdrive range is limited to 750 LY, so it'll take at least another 7000 jumps to get there unless I can get some kind of upgrade
It's a nice ship. The vector is my favourite style of starfighter.
indigo falcon
and that means via the fragments right
minor laurel
Yep, because all the worthwhile upgrades are thousands of nanites each at the merchants 😦
indigo falcon
well you could work around that by whacking sentinels, opening the glass and selling off the modules
could probably finance a few A hyperdrive modules that way
if the constraints of your challenge are absolute (notthing but fragments no matter what) then it's harder
minor laurel
Only constraint is no portal, otherwise I could just go to 
and be there
indigo falcon
well then I would advise stocking up on nanites one way or another
sudden aspen
Do I actually have to deal with the loop collapse spawns or can I just run away lol

I'm not. I can't see my computer screen during the daytime. We just moved and the glare is horrible. And lowe's messed up oour blinds order
I tried playing during the day and got bad sentinal aggro at anchor point 1 and nearly died again lol. I was in an ice storm with the sun glare in my eyes
But i made it as far as 2 milestones left in chapter 5 before dying on a derelict.

steel pagoda
Yea. I got greedy. When i just needed enough for the flute. And I didn't know how health and shields worked. But I do now
I went into the derelict 3/6 bars. And opened a door with 3 drones that ambushed me
Thankfully I have bases everywhere but anchor point 2
indigo falcon
you should be ok
steel pagoda
I just need the sun to go down so I can play again lol.
I had bad luck this time around with the tech and inventory. It overloaded my multi tool with inventory slots to the point of having the leftover items fill up my exosuit.
I wanted exosuit upgrades. So I'm still flying system to system to do inventory upgrades manually.
indigo falcon
stuff extra things at the freighter (all that free storage if you want to build some containers)
steel pagoda
Had bad luck on weapons also. Like I'm not using the geocannon on perma lol
steel pagoda
Yea. I built like 6 containers
I forget the weapon it gave me for the ship this time. But that one I like. And I always install rockets for pirates.
indigo falcon
good good
steel pagoda
Rockets are worth a side track. Though I can't cheese freighter battles with them now since they have shields.
When i was doing the grind for an s tier with my fighter on a normal save I had every freighter battle down to 35 seconds with rockets.
steel pagoda
Yea.
Now i've had a few close deaths with the solar ship on freighter battles. But so far I've never died in the ship
I just need to get lucky on shield tech thia playthrough.
So if you roll crap from the milestones, the best thing to do is grind stuff for polo right?
The fact that everything is X tier cuz of the community loops, as soon as you start over from death is a help

because you need that to do the memory loop bit
you can do them out of order, see
obviously if you already have it you don't have to construct another 😄
steel pagoda
Do you save the wild milk for derelict health recovery? I've never used food for combat before
steel pagoda
Health back
indigo falcon
how much
steel pagoda
Or life support power. 20%
indigo falcon
oh, if it's life support then you probably don't care, you have life support gels for that
meaty chunks and such do core health
steel pagoda
Oh life support nvm. That's for jetpack and running
Yea
I want health instead. There is a clinical definition difference in both system
indigo falcon
health is 'my shields are gone and I'm still taking damage'
it's annoying that the health indicators are ... shield shaped 🙄
steel pagoda
Yea I knew logging on was a mistake durong the day time lol. Before I could land to scan for anchor 1 I got ambushed by 3 pirates and I had to survive during an ice storm
steel pagoda
it's annoying that the health indicators are ... shield shaped 🙄
Yea. All the indicators are a little similar.
Those turrets on derelict hit really hard.
indigo falcon
ya gotta take 'em out from cover or avoid hitting them
steel pagoda
Yea i'm terrible about cover
They aggro when i destroy cargo under them cuz i'm a hoarder.
wise rune
Not sure if it works this way, but does anyone have coordinates for a downed freighter in the Sophis system?
indigo falcon
no but try from the space station looking for player bases that have one
steel pagoda
Not sure if it works this way, but does anyone have coordinates for a downed fre...
||base marked one at anchor point 5||
Another trick is to use 6 distress maps in the same location.
wise rune
Oh good to know, I'm having a hard time finding navigation data. How do I know which player bases have them?
steel pagoda
You can see them from space if they're labelled.
Find one with a name of crashed freighter or whatever
But maps work better now than they used to. Like if one got you an abandoned building, another can get you a crashed ship and a 3rd can get you a freighter ectm
wise rune
Oh my God just found one, you're awesome, thank you so much!
steel pagoda
So do 6 and save between each one in case they bork
indigo falcon
woo hoo, glad it worked out!
steel pagoda
Np
Dang. They didn't give me an S launch tech this time. So i can go through half as much star fuel
Think i'm just gonna find a planet with uranium and mine the crap out of it another day.
elfin wyvern
woo hoo, glad it worked out!
Oh nvm, it says that the loop refused to yield and that i need a dreadful wailing
steel pagoda
The launch fuel can bog me down on this expedition and hyperdrive fuel
elfin wyvern
Oh okay
steel pagoda
When in doubt do the anchor point before the rest of that phase.
steel pagoda
So remind me. You can ||turn off permadeath|| only after everything is completed or specific milestones and I can go back to phase 2 3 & 4 later?
indigo falcon
So remind me. You can ||turn off permadeath|| only after everything is completed...
||phase 1 all. phase 2/3/4 memory (grave). phase 5 all.||
steel pagoda
Ah ok.thanks that's right
Might try it this time. Since I did all the legwork the hard way the first time
Also i have no pulse spitter experience. How is it? The tech was one this time around.
indigo falcon
long range is good I hear
steel pagoda
Lmao anchor 1 has flying barrels and drops
indigo falcon
(fully upgraded of course)
remote thunder
pew pew
indigo falcon
gets th job done!
steel pagoda
So i defend my colony with the scatter mostly on normal. But I have a beefed up boltcaster. And I use plasma for doggies and factory doors.
indigo falcon
never got over the 'death by cat' incident. no plasma launcher for me
steel pagoda
Dang need gold for the resonator.
Lol
I died a lot from my own plasma until i practiced enough. It has a learning curve.
indigo falcon
nice!
steel pagoda
Of course as soon as I got them, pirates scanned me for cargo
steel pagoda
I mistook a ship for the pirate and aggrod a sentinal.
indigo falcon
woops! 😄
steel pagoda
Sums up my perma life in a nutshell
indigo falcon
good thing the Anomaly is one summons away
steel pagoda
I was 9 seconds from the station. All good.
I forgot you can summon the anomaly in combat.
When they upsated combat and pirates to fly low atmosphere, you'd think they'd disable the anomaly in combat.
steel pagoda
I get sick of pirates. I was about to land and theh warp in cuz they found meat on me. Like 2 pieces from an animal
indigo falcon
yep they be like that
steel pagoda
Gonna wait out the storm before I walk to the grave 😞
indigo falcon
that or get your minotaur on
steel pagoda
But at least I'm almost done with phase 1 for the 4th time.
I don't have the minotaur yet.
This time
indigo falcon
didn't visit your base?
soon as you visit it (I presume you got one there on anchor 1) you get the milestone that gives it to you
anyways nbd to wait for the storm either
steel pagoda
That's phase 2. But yea I never triggered it.
indigo falcon
the base on anchor 1 is on an in fested world. it counts.
steel pagoda
I just gotta port to it via the space station than
I never visited my base at anchor 1 lol is why.
indigo falcon
oh! heh
steel pagoda
I flew from the station like 3x
indigo falcon
yeah so second time through for me, I went there direct from starter system teleporter
no mattter
make sure you got launchf fuel before you set out and you're all good
steel pagoda
Wait. I believe I teleported to my base first time. Than when i had sentinal aggro i flew to the station. So idk why it never counted
These ice storms are frequent and long.
indigo falcon
yep
did you put down the minotaur geobay on anchor 1?
if so you might be able to summon it once out of the ship (when the storm ends)
steel pagoda
No i never did last save. I threw it in a storage bay on my freighter lol
indigo falcon
d'oh!
steel pagoda
I'm just not an exocraft person
Esp the minotaur.
I only use it when I'm kinda forced to on expeditions
indigo falcon
ok, well there's always digging your way over if you need to
steel pagoda
I usually just hop crystal to crystal via starship lol. But I used an S explorer on normal
indigo falcon
right
steel pagoda
That toxic planet expedition with the minotaur made me hate it lol
steel pagoda
Forgot about the horrors lmao. And an ice storm came in. I dug a hole super fast.
Call me super mole
indigo falcon
that's why you needed to check that you had launch fuel
call it in at every grave 😄
anyways still alive? good enough!
indigo falcon
yep
steel pagoda
Well they won't despawn this time. They have before
indigo falcon
call it in close, line it up so as soon as you're done with the dialogue you can run straight for it
click, click, click, run!
storm still going on?
steel pagoda
They finally left after the storm. Was slow
indigo falcon
whew
steel pagoda
If I have to start over a 5th time I'll cry. So I'm playing extra cautious
No Mr. Bean or Rambo shenanigans
indigo falcon
keep it up!
steel pagoda
Lol stupid rng. I got 2 hazmat gaunlet techs from the grave.
indigo falcon
😄
steel pagoda
My tech rng on this expedition has been all over the place on each save.
indigo falcon
sell 'em for nanites if you like
steel pagoda
I kept one just incase I ever wanna harvest and sold the other.
sick kelp
@steel pagoda if you're after a certain tech i probably have some spare i can give ya me and brother did a lot of new save creations and farmed up tech and put them all on one save
steel pagoda
Thanks I'm not really right now I dont think. Maybe just an S for landing for my solar ship. But not necessary
sick kelp
have them if you want them
steel pagoda
The exstablish a base on an infested world won't trigger when i port to mine
indigo falcon
Do you know if we get any exocraft inventory memorys as reward?
there's no such thing in the game, exocraft inventory is fixed size
elfin wyvern
O fr
indigo falcon
The exstablish a base on an infested world won't trigger when i port to mine
select the milestone for a second
see how many pieces it says you have in the lower right
elfin wyvern
I never used them
sudden aspen
What’s the best load out for taking out sentinels on the cheap?
indigo falcon
in the expedition you're going to have the tech you have
elfin wyvern
I did it with my ship lmao
sudden aspen
On my main save I’m running neutron cannons, but then again I also run full S class and sentinel upgrades in an alien
Which isn’t very feasable lmfao
indigo falcon
I guess you could hunt around for a good mt with the weapon of your choice but that would take a lot of extra time
sudden aspen
Alright I’ll see what I have
indigo falcon
you get a certain weapon from memory fragments and you're kind of stuck with that
sick kelp
i like positron for ship and scatter blaster
sudden aspen
I think the best I have is a blaze javelin rn tho, which is like the worst for this sort of thing
Dunno if I have scatter plaster
Will check
sick kelp
i have 10ish of each left if you want one
sudden aspen
Also, when did they add the hold s to autoaim for ships? It’s super useful and I never noticed
sudden aspen
i have 10ish of each left if you want one
Maybe, I’ll see when I can get online
indigo falcon
Outlaws I think
steel pagoda
I endd up with a 3rd base computer and new structure lol.
indigo falcon
I endd up with a 3rd base computer and new structure lol.
uh ok. but you should have been able to just extend the one to 16 pieces
steel pagoda
I hate base controls. It waste my mats placing multiple walls at once in weird locations.
sick kelp
i ended up rebinding mine cause wanting to slow down to aim at someone and it turning me to another made me rage a little lol
indigo falcon
that's why I suggested selecting the milestone and see how many pieces it said in the lower right
yeah because the milestone could have been for some other base that had the right number of parts
oh well doesn't matter, you have a base, the milestone, the minotaur if you want it
steel pagoda
I missed it. Iwas already building lol.
indigo falcon
no worries!
sick kelp
heh just found a planet with landing pads for everyone
steel pagoda
Is ot better to plop the minotaur on my freighter?
sick kelp
sudden aspen
Is it any good using the Minotaur for sentinels?
Or waste of time
Also, are the anchor points actually respawn points or is that a myth
steel pagoda
Ok
steel pagoda
Or waste of time
I mean you don't start with combat tech
indigo falcon
Also, are the anchor points actually respawn points or is that a myth
they are not respawn points
steel pagoda
Supoose that answer depends on rng
indigo falcon
see 'persistence after death' pin in here for what actually persists
indigo falcon
good idea
sinful nebula
So i just got the game, have i missed out on all the other expedition?
indigo falcon
I take it you have already done the one obligtory death, @sudden aspen ?
sick kelp
i just noticed i think there's an exotic in the pic i just posted
sick kelp
on the mid far left
indigo falcon
So i just got the game, have i missed out on all the other expedition?
for now, yes. Hello Games may decide to rerun them at some point, we just don't know
sinful nebula
😔
sudden aspen
The only one I’m sad about missing is the golden vector one
I got beachhead already so I really don’t care about the others
And leviathan obv
sick kelp
last year i think around novemember i think they ran all the previous expeditions for liek 2 weeks each if i remember right
sinful nebula
well do i have to start a new game when i start this expedition? Or can i use my main save?
sick kelp
so no reason not to think they won't be doing it again
sudden aspen
New game
sudden aspen
so no reason not to think they won't be doing it again
I thought they said that was the final rerun?
Idk
steel pagoda
well do i have to start a new game when i start this expedition? Or can i use my...
Read the pins before you start
sinful nebula
Ah thanks!
steel pagoda
Permadeath may not be beginner friendly.
sudden aspen
Yeah it isn’t
indigo falcon
so no reason not to think they won't be doing it again
if they rerun them all, that's 8 (probably) of them at 2 weeks each or now 16 weeks (4 months).... you see how that's gonna become a problem over time
we just don't know what they will do until they announce it
sudden aspen
I’ve been playing on and off for a year or two now and it’s gotten dicey a few times for me
In this expedition
steel pagoda
They reran 1-4 already. So i bet december is 5-8
indigo falcon
not making any bets at all
steel pagoda
It's just a hunch assumption. But who knows
indigo falcon
it's not true permadeath but it is a rougher start than you would normally get, for sure
sudden aspen
and obv you can't really take it slow and grind up for upgrades, unless u plan on playing for 10 hours a day or smthing
indigo falcon
you do get the best gear to start so that's something
steel pagoda
you do get the best gear to start so that's something
I still died falling off a mountain cliff before I fixed my ship lol
That was death bumber 3. After I restarted when I was on phase 5
indigo falcon
fall damage can get you until you know to be super careful
sudden aspen
tbf if you're not super rash and don't get jet-pack happy you'll probably be fine
indigo falcon
except for
steel pagoda
I climbed it for carbon to fix the ship. My ship spawned in a bad area for carbon trees.
steel pagoda
I didn't jetpack the landing cuz as I was falling i noticed my hazard was out and I was trying to refill it.
indigo falcon
heh
sudden aspen
What happens at AP4?
steel pagoda
What happens at AP4?
Go see 😀
glass solstice
Anchor Point 4
What’s wrong with it tho? It was fairly unremarkable for me
steel pagoda
Also the derelict freighter at 5.
indigo falcon
you know how they say 'nice place to visit, wouldn't want to live there'?
you wouldn't evenwant to visit
sudden aspen
is it just like super hazard protection hungry or smthing?
or are there actually active threats
sick kelp
was there a quick patch today or something?
indigo falcon
(I got a bad roll for the grave location, vertical cliffs, minotaur got lodged in one wall, had to reload, went on without, other side I took a nasty slip, even proceeding very carefully)
glass solstice
indigo falcon
terrain is bad. weather is bad. sentinels are bad. generally, just bad.
sudden aspen
lmao
glass solstice
Oh yeah that
sudden aspen
good to know
steel pagoda
||volcano one?|| i smacked my ship into cliff walls and almost self destructed from it. I was blind as a bat on the landing
indigo falcon
was there a quick patch today or something?
what platform are you on?
sick kelp
pc
glass solstice
Yeah that’s where I bumped the fuck out of my ship lmao
steel pagoda
Yeah that’s where I bumped the fuck out of my ship lmao
Same.
steel pagoda
One good accidental dealth planet.
sick kelp
i swear my positron was firing faster and a few more shots earlier this morning
indigo falcon
anyways that's the only patch I know about going around
steel pagoda
On perma
glass solstice
And the fog omg
sick kelp
now it's slower and like 5 shots before over heating
sudden aspen
Also the derelict freighter at 5.
Oh nice, I dont need to look for one
steel pagoda
Well you still use the scanner from polo
But the freighter at 5 is nasty if you're clumsy like me. That's how i died.
indigo falcon
there are ways around it (for example, you can choose to do the one in system 3 with just bugs if you prefer those, or to do one anywhere in the galaxy -- since you have portal glyphs -- that you know has only jellyfish)
always workarounds
steel pagoda
I've learned a few things since that death. Like how health works lol.
I might get the cake first next time lol
sudden aspen
But the freighter at 5 is nasty if you're clumsy like me. That's how i died.
how is it nasty?
indigo falcon
uh I don't see one in the milestone rewards list
steel pagoda
how is it nasty?
You get ||turrets and drone sentinals instead of nests||
Hmm i thought i remmber getting some crafted cake
indigo falcon
whispering omelette
steel pagoda
Oh well. I can always leech off someone's processor and craft meat or food
indigo falcon
or just shoot a few antelope-things for meaty chunks
opaque ingot
Is fall damage increased in Leviathan??
steel pagoda
how is it nasty?
I opened a door || got ambushed by 3 drones with low shields already||
sudden aspen
You get ||turrets and drone sentinals instead of nests||
Oh, yeah I'd rather do the one at 3 if its just a standard one then. The standard ones just have the slime dudes right?
opaque ingot
Oh, that explains it.
indigo falcon
all hazards are worse, all damage from hostiles is more, shields and hazard protection recover more slowly
steel pagoda
Oh, yeah I'd rather do the one at 3 if its just a standard one then. The standar...
Yep
indigo falcon
the nests that you have to move slow, that's the one in 3 yeah
opaque ingot
Man, this might take a WHOLE lot longer than I thought.
glass solstice
I opened a door || got ambushed by 3 drones with low shields already||
Oor
steel pagoda
It was my second freighter back to back. I was already at 3/6 health from first freighter lol
I did like half a dozen things wrong
Gotta play more defensively cautiously in perma
sudden aspen
wait
ok for this whole time I thought derelict freighter was the requirement
I just checked, it says crashed freighter
indigo falcon
how you getting on, speaking of requirements?
steel pagoda
Trying to get to point 2 before I have to log off for my first cortisone injection in my shoulder lol
I keep stopping to buy expsuit upgrades.
I wanna plop a base computer at point 2 this time
Also had to stop and farm carbon. Ran out of hyperdrivr fuel.
indigo falcon
woopsie!
though if you zip around via space stations and bases now, you shouldn't need much
steel pagoda
Just point 2 i don't have a base.
But since rng got me a crap ton of tool inventory slots. I'm paying for ecosuit manually.
indigo falcon
gotcha
steel pagoda
I have another 9M units left before I need to scrap another ship at least.
indigo falcon
that can get you a long way
steel pagoda
Twitch drops are handy 😀
indigo falcon
nah
ashen shore
Delete that please. Quickly.
indigo falcon
you did that extra work, you get the perks, can't see hg changing that
steel pagoda
Delete that please. Quickly.
Lmao I know right?
glass solstice
Wait, there are twitch drops?
steel pagoda
Level the playing field for beginners.
ashen shore
🤣
steel pagoda
Wait, there are twitch drops?
Yea over the years
indigo falcon
there are
glass solstice
indigo falcon
I missed one set (multitools in that one), the rest I've got I think
steel pagoda
I missed a couple.
steel pagoda
Base down for point 2
sudden aspen
Uhhh
I just lifted off and now my ship cant move
its just hovering in the air
Ive tried reloading
nvm
another reload fixed it lol
indigo falcon
whew!
sudden aspen
was the weirdest thing ever
no hud
no nothing
and I was just floating in mid air, stationary

remote thunder
that can happen when there's a building, a mega flora object, possibly others in front of the ship
indigo falcon
I've seen a bit too many instances of that lately
steel pagoda
Knock on wood I haven't fallen to my death on the freighter bug yet.
sudden aspen
I landed next to one of those boundary things, the big rings
indigo falcon
in theory, people who die from falling in space will get relocated to a nearby safe space now (like a space station), at least according to earlier patch notes
steel pagoda
Having to scale a massive cliff drains your life support 😞. Thanks gravesite.
indigo falcon
can you tunnel or not so much?
steel pagoda
Would of been a long one. Probably to Moria. I'm lazy on tunneling
I don't see it as a viable option for the next massive moutain cliff.
indigo falcon
some people have done it. I didn't try it myself
steel pagoda
Crap. I gotta log before I run late. I'll head to point 3 tonight or tomorrow.
Stupid pirates won't let me log
Gonna log on the anomaly.

ok! see ya, good luck!

Having the hardest time collecting storm crystals, any tips?
indigo falcon
yep see pinned message "mini-faq" in here with info on a planet that has them
calm flax
Having the hardest time collecting storm crystals, any tips?
I just collected my storm crystals a little earlier. I just make sure I have plenty of launch fuel or uranium. Then I just fly around and land by the storm crystals. This way I can pick out the spots with multiple storm crystals.
wise rune
Found the pinned message, thanks!
calm flax
I don't know what the pinned message says. Haven't checked it out.
I did just finish my 4th expedition save. I think that's enough for this expedition.
tacit sparrow
Do i need to complete all milestones to get the quicksilver rewards?
indigo falcon
you need to complete them all to get the end expedition reward
if you complete only all the milestones in a given phase, you can get that phase reward
and so on
tacit sparrow
Should i upgrade my expedition ship or buy one that by default has more slots
tacit sparrow
C solar, unless theres a milestone that ups your class
indigo falcon
when did you start the expedition?
tacit sparrow
Today
tacit sparrow
I only recently restarted playing ok
tacit sparrow
Yeah
indigo falcon
hrm
can you do me a favour
can you check the discovery tab and look in the lower left and see what it says
wraith venture
try saving and reloading the save by the way.
tacit sparrow
Online discovery systems active
indigo falcon
ugh
tacit sparrow
Am i supposed to have an s class?
indigo falcon
yes
tacit sparrow
O
wraith venture
it could be a glitch. i believe someone else reported it here.
indigo falcon
you should have started with S ship and multitool
wraith venture
save and reload save.
@remote thunder was it you who reported this issue? i forget.
tacit sparrow
I'll try it, lemme land on a station rq
indigo falcon
the last one of these I saw (maybe yesterday) it was the player connectivity to ods issue. haven't seen this before
wraith venture
i'm having all sorts of issues with the tech not being the right class either. i have to keep reloading my save to re-roll them.
wraith venture
rogue-lite-kinda-sorta-with-glitches
tacit sparrow
Reloading my autosave now
tacit sparrow
Still c class
wraith venture
Still c class
sad times. how far along are you?
indigo falcon
wraith venture
could try creating a brand new save for giggles
tacit sparrow
I just hit first anchor and havent made the memory thing yet
Is all my stuff supposed to be s class? Or just the ship
wraith venture
i've created a bunch of new expo saves. beginning is easy cuz i just gotta kill myself right away and can confirm if things look right. but anchor point 1 sounds father long. yuck
wraith venture
Is all my stuff supposed to be s class? Or just the ship
ship and multitool
indigo falcon
and the modules should all be X
tacit sparrow
Ah yeah, i had a poopoo multitool
indigo falcon
(except for specific upgrades that are only S or whatever)
wraith venture
my freighter was c class. not sure if that's to be expected. found it a little odd
wraith venture
and the modules should all be X
"should" for sure 
tacit sparrow
If its 2 S's i think 3ish hours is an even exchange
tacit sparrow
Guess im making a new one
wraith venture
If its 2 S's i think 3ish hours is an even exchange
i concur
indigo falcon
don't toss the old one until you actually get S gear
tacit sparrow
Is it both S on initial? Or death first
wraith venture
Is it both S on initial? Or death first
i honestly don't recall. could be on death? i can test again later
indigo falcon
initial
tacit sparrow
Time to commit die
wraith venture
Both S's nice
tacit sparrow
Do my milestones reset on death?
wraith venture
Do my milestones reset on death?
yes that's why you wanna die right away
indigo falcon
Do my milestones reset on death?
see the pinned message "persistence after death"
and really, see all the pins in here, lots of useful info
sudden aspen
I just realized that the weapon my milestones are giving me memories for is the blaze javelin
Man i am unlucky
indigo falcon
(prolly why the previous you died :-P)
sudden aspen
If I have to get a new weapon type anyway, should I go pulse splitter, scatter blaster, or neutron cannon?
Lol yeah
Also I’m on a budget nanites wise
indigo falcon
you can't get one easily, you can only maybe find an mt with it equipped
those will be locked against purchase at the anomaly
sudden aspen
Can I not buy the blueprints at the anomaly?
Seriously?
Bruh
That’s actually horrible
wraith venture
can get a mod at the space station too, no? but yeah, everything's super expensive
wraith venture
ooh wow
sudden aspen
I mean even the bolt caster would be a better weapon at this point lmfao
indigo falcon
besides costs of everything being 10x as much
you'll be paying dearly for those upgrades too
wraith venture
it's another reason why i re-rolled my tech cuz some of the options i was getting were crap
sudden aspen
Sigh
indigo falcon
that is something you can decide almost right away
the mw weapon choice is made for you in uh
sudden aspen
And I’ve already almost gotten to AP3
indigo falcon
the very first milestone (Remembrance)
sudden aspen
Yeah
wraith venture
the mw weapon choice is made for you in uh
oh right. i did cheat and grabbed a multi from twitch rewards 
i forgot
indigo falcon
just deal with what you have, boltcaster if you like
sudden aspen
Like, I’ve got some experience with combat
indigo falcon
oh yeah or buy one with the tool of your choice
sudden aspen
But I don’t think I’m experienced enough to kill a sentinel pillar with a fucking blaze javelin lmao
Yeah I’ll look around
sudden aspen
What?
indigo falcon
literally you walk up to the pillar once you have the location
you punch the buttons
wraith venture
you can run up to it and disable it
sudden aspen
I still have to kill my way up to alert level 5 tho
wraith venture
i also cheated for that cuz someone made a base in one. i go to the space station and check list of bases and get easy freebies from folks lol
indigo falcon
you get a map from shooting 20 sentinels
AND
there are player bases
now let's say you want to shoot 20 sentinels
make them all be drones
be near a building (like, your base)
pick a fight with a drone, shoot everything BUT summoners
let them keep bringing in drones
heat get too much? go in the building
sudden aspen
Got an image of summoners?
sudden aspen
Also yeah I guess I can one shot drones
So it’s better than I thought
Still have to clear a derelict freighter tho
indigo falcon
image from bk, I just added the white text box
sudden aspen
And those swarms are gonna be nasty
indigo falcon
the derelict: in system 5, turrets (walk around those), drones (shoot those from cover)
or
OR
you have portal glyphs, or you will
you can go to a known "easy" derelict
there are even posts about this on the subreddit just for this expedition
sudden aspen
Mmm true
indigo falcon
so. lots of workarounds.
sudden aspen
All of those are summoners?
wraith venture
you can go to a known "easy" derelict
do we have any posted here btw? easy derelict?
indigo falcon
sudden aspen
Ty
indigo falcon
no, let me find the link I have to one
sudden aspen
Alright then, I’ll do the combat missions ASAP in case I die
indigo falcon
sudden aspen
So I don’t loose too much progress
indigo falcon
the trick here is that you want to leave one milestone NOT done of the pre-phase 5 ones
sudden aspen
Or should I wait until I’m more armored up?
indigo falcon
then do phase 5 milestones 1,2
this will unlock phase 5 milestone 3, the derelict. DO NOT PIN it yet.
get to portal, go to system with the easy derelict.
NOW pin the mission
sudden aspen
Ah I see
indigo falcon
pulse,
you get the easy derelict, for that milestone.
no broadcast receiver is used, see
screw this up by pulsing in some other system, that's the derelict you get
wraith venture
Alright then, I’ll do the combat missions ASAP in case I die
if you're close to death, close game too. easy workaround. and make sure to save often for this workaround
indigo falcon
and then of course after the derelict you can go back and do that other mission any time, the one you left
