Hi,
Not a dig at the game, 100 hours for the price I paid for this game a few months after release is absolutely a bargain in terms of price per hour entertainment. I believe I paid £6 after the initial scathing reviews tanked nms sales, but I believed in the developers statement that they would bring the game closer to their vision, and they have exceeded that.
Now I have started and stopped playing nms over the years, a few weeks ago I finally gave it the focus it deserves, and by coincidence this was just after autophage expansion dropped.
So I’ve done most assigned quests (except call of the deep), I have a decent sentinel ship, an s class exotic, a living ship, and a couple of others.
I’ve built a functional base, I have a full squadron, a full frigate compliment, a decent super capital ship, a fully built settlement and around a billion space bucks that I can’t spend.
My modules allow me to survive anywhere and kill anything the game throws at me with little challenge, I’ve seen all planet types and have a few interesting pets.
Everything that has seemed interesting to me to do has been done, all that is left is to grind for slightly better things that don’t actually matter. And that isn’t fun.
I doubt it’s an especially hot take, but nms is a huge game with unlimited scope with very little to do. There is no end game, there is no reason to get 10% better to defeat a mission or quest. There is no actual depth to anything. Literally all of the available activities could be expanded upon to give a better sense of achievement and depth.
Why can’t my settlement grow into a city?
Why can’t ships be fully modular allowing my own designs? (within reason).
Why can’t I go on missions with my frigates?
Why can’t I engage other freighters / systems with my fleet?
Literally every activity is endless in scope but limited in its execution, there is no need for money, better mods, better shops or weapons. You don’t need a base for any reason, and exploration gains nothing.
But it does take 100 hours to get to this point and that is value for money, but anything further is grinding for the sake of grinding, which I acknowledge some people do still enjoy, but for people like me who have had their fill of grindy games, it’s not good enough.
So, nms, thank you for your time, and you have improved so much, I hope one day you become the game you should be, because you have the foundation already, you just need a little extra push, and I can’t wait for it.

Hi fellow travelers. I’m building this guide with images and all and I’ll share with the community soon. Please let me know if there’s anything to add, like some quick tips/reminders. ………………………………………….. Starting the expedition from an existing save or from scratch– If you want a new character, a new save, start the expedition from scratch on the main menu. You’ll keep your character, the ships you found, freighter, all multi-tools and items after you end the expedition – the game will convert your expedition save to a normal save. – If you want you can use an existing character, start the expedition from the Space Anomaly on the Expedition Terminus, then transfer items and copy multi-tools/ships between your main character and the expedition character at any time using the terminus. Recommended items to transfer– Before starting the expedition, it’s recommended to transfer some items in the terminus, to save some time and give you more comfort during the journey, like: • Liquid Explosive (or Acid + Unstable Gel, or 25 Mordite + 200 Cactus Flesh + 200 Fungal Mold) – The current equipped multi-tool and ship of your main character can be copied to your expedition character and it’ll cost you nanites to do so. – Your main character looks will be copied/transferred to your expedition character once you start the expedition. – After you end the expedition, everything that remains in your inventories will be converted to units and your nanites and quicksilver will also be transferred to your main character. – Don’t forget to copy the Starborn Runner ship (including the Photonix Core tech pre-installed in the ship) and the Atlas multi-tool from the expedition to your main character. ………………………………………….. Reward: Starborn Runner ship with Photonix Core pulse driveAfter you complete every phase of the expedition, you can claim your Starborn Runner ship. This ship will have a Photonix Core tech installed. Using the expedition terminus in the Anomaly, you can copy this ship (with the techs installed, but not the cargo items) to your main save. You’ll then have a Starborn Runner on your expedition save and on your main save. Before ending the expedition, you can pack the Photonix Core of your ship and send this tech to your main save using the terminus in the Anomaly. …………………………………………..
