Living ships? – jfc I’m getting farscape flashbacks. The clock reset trick didn’t work so I’m.waiting 4 days for this damn quest. And reading a bit further you endn up getting a series of glyphs for the final part? I havnt even beat the main story yet?

Mounts? The hell did I miss? I couldn’t figure out why people had bubbles with a rocket pack on them like some mr bubbles meets predator meets Boba fett thing.

I can’t believe the differences that are in the game. Since when have there been giant dune-esque sand worms in the game? The goddamn thing was probably 3 times the width of my spaceship, and flipped me over, onky to see him go off into the distance.

And booiiiiiii if you saw my face when the first random ass anomaly showed up in flight. Not even the giant ass skulls, the weird ass other ones. One was a GIANT FUCKING BRAIN.

I FEEL LIKE A COMPLETE NOOB. But thats good. 10/10 will play again.

I’m mostly an explorer. I’ve played for around 100 hours, and have about 80m units that I’ve just ended up with over the course of casual play and feel like that’s more than I could ever need. I see people talking about making farms and factories to make all this ridiculous amount of money and I feel like I’m missing something really obvious, because all I can wonder is – why? Other than ships, what is there to purchase? Is there a use for crafting other than just making an end product to sell for more units?

So I decided I was going to go visit Eissentam finally, and starting in my home galaxy of Calypso, I figured hey, I’ll do the thing everyone suggests, go through center, find ancient ruin, find portal, input glyphs that warp near center, go through center, rinse and repeat.

Well, I figured I’d visit an Atlas station first, thinking that if I “recreate the galaxy” again, I could just select paradise systems and I’d find Eissentam. I visited an Atlas station right near the center of Calypso, however, despite having a new Heart of the Sun, it wouldn’t let me recreate a new universe — instead, the quest log just tells me to locate a black hole. Which I did, but obviously didn’t do much since I was already near the center, and actually just erased the Atlas Path quest from my log.

I tell you this because the process of going through a black hole triggers a bit of a glitch.

When I went through the center of the galaxy and dropped into the new one, I was about 3500 LY from the new galaxy’s core.

Turns out, this is an actual thing: it’s called a Core to Core jump. If you enter a black hole before entering the galactic center, you will enter the new galaxy about the same distance that you were when you went into that black hole. This stays active, you don’t need to visit new black holes — I’m jumping my way to Eissentam right now: go through center, fix and fuel ship’s hyperdrive, go through center. No locating ruins, no inputting portal coordinates.
