Seeing lots of questions about this, so hoping a single thread will help (maybe get this stickied or something?)

Phase 5 Step 3 of Expedition 2 requires you to get the Myth Beacon from the Quicksilver agent. But Oh No – it seems to be locked! That’s because this portion requires THE ENTIRE NO MAN’S SKY COMMUNITY to work together to progress it.

HOW DO I HELP?

The previous step only asked you to visit 3 ancient artefacts and scan them for Polo and Nada. That’s the minimum requirement. You can help by doing MORE THAN 3. There are two ways to do this efficiently:

1. Go sell all of your Navigation Data for Planetary Charts, and start using them!
2. Unlock the scanner modules for your Exocraft, find a big planet, and start scanning!

Either way, sending this scan data to Polo is what drives the progression, so the more you do, the faster we get to 100%

HOW DO I CHECK THE PERCENTAGE?

If you’re in-game, you can visit the Quicksilver merchant on board the Anomaly. You can also select the related mission in your Primary Log tab to see the status.

But honestly, that’s kind of a pain. It’s much easier to use this site: https://galacticatlas.nomanssky.com/poi/anomalous-research

HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO GET THIS DONE?

Well, technically, we have 13 days (14 days from Monday, May 17th). HOWEVER, we’re only on Step 3 of 5, so who knows what will be required for Steps 4 and 5. Thus, the faster we can get through this step, the faster we can find out what else might be needed from the community.

Dear HelloGames,

(Yes this is for you)

It is My personal belief that the game you have made is going Great places, Sure it could use some fine tuning and more food variety. And sure it has a fair number of glitches but I know For a fact that This game (No Man’s Sky) is one of if not The best games I’ve ever played.

Take your time with the updates (Don’t do a Bethesda). You don’t need to rush. And hey, from the community… We love y’all and your work.

Keep it up -Reaper2050

It’s just that I find this expedition really slow and boring compared to the previous ones, but I feel I have to do it or I will miss out on some really cool rewards.

I don’t think expeditions or their rewards should be time-limited. The rest of no man’s sky is about the freedom to do anything you want, but with expeditions…

I mean I want a robo dog, but I don’t want to milk every cow in the galaxy within the next dix weeks for fear of missing out.

This is just my personal opinion.
