This is surely old news to most of you, but hey, maybe it will help a few people.

When I first started playing, I didn’t bother to name systems because I figured it would be too much trouble. THEN I realized it’s really helpful for remembering places you might want to return to.

Problem is, my custom names weren’t showing up in the list of terminus stations in the teleporter. It still showed the original system name. So if I wanted to go back to “Eden Prime” or whatever, I had to remember which it was, making naming pointless.

THEN I realized that if you named the system BEFORE visiting a space station, the station would have your custom name when you visited, and in turn the custom name would show up in your list of terminus destinations.

Okay, cool. So name systems right away so the name attaches to the space station.

I like to name a system with something that reflects its character, though, so that still presented a problem, since I like to get some missions before going to the planets. A small problem, but a problem all the same.

THEN I realized that a station will rename itself after your name if you revisit it. This works even for systems you left behind.

In other words, you arrive in Ozikark VI and go to the station, it will be the Ozikark VI terminus and that’s how it will show up in your list of teleport destinations. If you leave the station, rename the system “Meshedsabre’s Discovery,” and return to the station, the station will rename itself and the new name will show up in the teleport destinations.

You can teleport back to old systems with incoherent names, fly out real quick, turn around, go right back in, and your new name will then replace the old one in the list of ‘port destinations.

Again, I’m sure this is very obvious to most of you and I’m way way behind, but I only JUST discovered it after 80 hours of play. D’oh!!

TL;DNR – Your list of terminus destinations in the teleporter uses whatever the system was named the last time you flew into the system’s space station. If your custom name isn’t showing up in your list of destinations, go back to the station, fly out, then fly back in. It should change the station name to your custom name.

Are these decent ships? I know S class is, but are the ones with these sails good? I found it on a space station and bought it from the pilot for 14M units. Had to have it because it’s my first S class ship. I’m out of town rn so can’t take screenshots but was just curious about these solar sails.

Thanks

You can also drop a quick tip!

Tip #1: Always try to be doing multiple things. Pick up the portable refiner so you can refine something from your inventory while exploring and mining.

Tip #2: Avoid multiplayer until unlocking the anomaly, can be stranded if not.

Tip #3: Exotic worlds only have 1 fauna so it’s easy to scan all of them.

Tip #4: Need glyphs? All 16 are on one planet here

Q- “I was on the Anomaly and a bunch of expensive stuff showed up in my inventory. What do I do with it? A:” Congrats! Another player has bestowed you with a gift. Most likely it is an item to sell for some quick and easy cash. Usually the item description will tell you what it is used for.

Q: “Help, I claimed a broken ship and now I can’t find my starter ship! Is it gone forever?” A:” If you merely selected to “claim” the broken ship and not “swap” it, then your old ship is still around. If you left it with launch fuel in the tank, you can summon it with the quick-menu. If it does not have fuel, it can be summoned on the Anomaly (once you unlock it), your freighter (once you acquire one).

Q- “Are crashed ships worth repairing?” A-” Unless it is an exotic, no. Scrap the ship at the space station, sell the items it gives you, and use those units to buy a better, working version of a ship in that system.

Q- “Any advice for new players?” A-“For new players, make sure you read the guide in-game. It’s an excellent beginner’s guide for traveling, learning about the alien races, building, and etc. Take a look over the catalogue of items too. Also, I’d strongly suggest mining a massive amount of carbon, oxygen, and sodium. These three items will be some of your most used and critical items in the game
