you should be able to claim the expedition rewards in the anomaly on each save.

Yup.. all I was really interested in was my squid ship and the 'living lens' exosuit upgrade. So it goes.

The problem with using your main save, you can get locked into the expedition until you finish it. This one was time gated so you were stuck not playing your main save for a couple of months.

For sure. I just misunderstood the folk online about save transfers.
 
... and I think I am good on NMS for while. Well, until an interesting update happens or my buddy starts plateauing his play through and wants to try 'co-op'.

Hibert wasn't the best so jumped to Calypso and maybe that'll get me a squid ship in the future.

Man you discovered a whole new galaxy and i never got out of the solar system. Oh well i think i'll go play expanse ;)
 
I read an article headline theorizing that Murray may keep updating it indefinitely, lost where it was from though. He said if people keep playing he will keep updating basically.

New Cosmos patch out today, early reports of typical jankyness so beware as per usual. New update includes claiming your own starbase in systems, new alien outposts in space that buy/sell/trade and give missions. You can now build your own starbase free floating in space as well. New star map system in cockpit mode and a way to create alliances with other players.

How do I start playing this?

Just the new stuff or the expedition? The expedition hasn't started yet, probably next week after they work out any new bugs. Twitch drops start tomorrow and go for five days. A good way to get nice multi tools and free A class ships.

Like, ah, the whole thing. Bought it by accident (late night shopping with wine) when it came out, played it a little after a clean install, and just forgot about it.

So total noob.

Just fire that shit up. They have a pretty good tutorial to get you in to it these days. You wake up, crashed on a planet, not sure how you got there, and you'll have a mission to fix your ship. That mission will have you harvest some shit, build some shit, then you get your ship working and can start exploring the galaxy. It's a sandbox game so you do what you want at your own pace, but there's generally missions to guide you to all the different sorts of things like base building, freighters and so on. You also can basically get/change anything in game later so there's no worry about doing it "wrong" or having a "bad build" or something. Just play and see where it takes you.
 
Man if only I enjoyed this game. It just keeps giving.
I gave it like 50 hours. I certainly didn't do nearly half of the things that the game offers , but there was an aimlessness to it almost a pointlessness , it felt like, as far as what keeps me engaged in a game, so I put it down. I guess I could return to it at some point just for sightseeing. I just don't care about building bases or taming creatures. And it's a little too cartoony for me. And the storyline and NPC interactions all felt pretty shallow. Plus the multiplayer is half-assed and bolted on.
But man , you have to respect those developers for all the TLC they're giving the game.

Baller. That's what I needed to hear. Otherwise it seems so overwhelming at this point.

There's an overwhelming amount of stuff you can do but you don't have to do most of it. The only thing you really HAVE to do is harvest resources as if you don't, well you aren't going anywhere. The rest, really up to you if and when you do it. If you try something and don't like it, skip it. You can come back to it later, or not.

Also if you end up needing something because you want it but don't want to go through with getting it, there's probably someone on here who can help you. The game is multi-player so it is a situation where I could log in, meet you with my big freighter, and give you a bunch of resources and that sort of thing. There's tons of info online if you need guides on how to do things, or locations of good stuff peopel have discovered, but those can also all be ignored and you can just do what you want.

It is always going to be a problem with a massive, literally galaxy sized, procedurally generated game like this: Everything is going to be a bit samey and shallow. There's no way to have all that, and have it be a deep, well written, story. More or less the bigger a game world is, the more pointless much of it will be.

For some, that works well, like a literal sandbox it is a "make your own fun" situation and that works for some people. For others, that's boring, they want something more that someone else curated to enjoy.

What Sycraft said. Just follow the starter quest lines to learn how things work. Eventually you will get a prompt to go to the Anomoly in space to learn more things. After awhile you will get a chance to nab a freighter, I won't spoil how. Take it and learn how that works. Eventually it leads you down the path for corvettes, owning your own town etc..

Also along those lines: Early on you'll start off building a base, it'll walk you through that. Your first base will be crap. No big deal, because you can, and probably will, build LOTS of bases. You can have little crap ones that are just for warping to, or for harvesting resources, and a big elaborate "main base" and so on. Your starter base can forever stay the jank building you make, you never need to redo it if you don't want to (though you of course can).
 
So off to try to speed run Expedition 23. Papa wants to ride his diplo and vintage sentinel ship.

Saw this ah.. statue? building? near one of the starter locations. Bless the builders and not griefers. A few other points had 30+ comm orbs left by previous folk. Also amusing.

Also it was nice to see some of the old station setups again. Pretty fun. Thamium9 made a reappearance.

Yeah, some nice memories. For much of the first section you can't use 3rd person because it wasn't in the game at the time. Same with other players being just floating orbs.

Seems the Expedition turns on PvP by default so check the settings and avoid getting attacked by folk.
