Hi everyone. New to the fediverse and Lemmy, like many others have said I’m more determined to get involved and to talk and contribute here. I don’t know why exactly. It just feels more authentic.
I’ve played the game since launch for several years. Last three years I’ve had a bit of a break. I’ve come back to so much content that I’m quite overwhelmed!
So my question is this. What are you all working towards in game now? What are your goals? What are you enjoying doing in game?
I’ve decided to try and get my fleet organised as I’ve never really even looked into that part of the game. Seems like a nice way to make some money and the new freighter redesign looks great! I don’t really understand the fleet mechanics at all.
I’m also trying to use the glyph exchange to find a nice exotic ship but I’ve just spent half an hour sat in a space port so far without the desired ship showing up.
Looking forward to hearing what everyone is up to in game!
I’m brand new and don’t really know what I’m doing. I’m still working on the main quest so please no spoilers. For the most part I’ve just been running around and scrapping abandoned ships, upgrading my exosuit so i can fly forever, and I’m trying to find new vehicles. I know I want a freighter and an exocraft but i dont know how to get them. I also want a second starship that is better than my current class 3 but I’m hesitant to sink all my resources into one.
Should I wait to find an abandoned class A and rebuild it or should i grind out units and buy one?
The “I don’t know how to…” questions are mostly answered by doing exactly what you’re already doing… playing through those main questlines at the top of the list. But don’t hesitate to explore the secondary quests; there can be some good stuff there, too.
One of the things I like the most about NMS is that there’s no real sense of urgency to any of it, other than what you imbue it with yourself… so picking and choosing whichever quest strikes your fancy at the moment can be quite satisfying.
Also, I suggest that you don’t stress too much about units; if you can’t afford something right now, just look into it later. Even if you never read a single spoiler, in time you will no doubt discover a few methods on your own to obtain an overabundance of units.
Mate, I’ve got about 200 hours into the game and I still don’t really know what I’m doing. Keep following that quest as it really helps! I would say that there are lots of good money making methods out there. You can play the market and have a decent ship sooner than you think. If I remember correctly it might be more of a faff to fix up an a class. It might require a few things that are harder to find.
Have you built a base yet? They’re also really useful and I think fleets are a good money maker too. Don’t worry about buying a freighter as you will get a chance to get one much more easily.
