Here’s my notes on this. I saw different posts covering parts of this, but I want to try and capture them all here for some traveler out there.

Before you End the Expedition:

• Note that you’ve accumulated a lot of quicksilver currency. You can use this at the vendor near the floating mission computer to unlock cool stuff. Quicksilver is the hardest currency to find, so you don’t want to waste it. Any items you unlock with Quicksilver, can be reclaimed at the same vendor freely on any other save file.
• Note that each tier of the Omega expedition has an optional achievement for scanning aliens, minerals, and plants on each Rendezvous planet. If you missed these and want to finish them and you can’t remember where those planets are, don’t worry, all you need to do is visit the portal in a space station and view the previous space stations you’ve visited. You’ll notice that some of these will have extra text on them like (Rendezvous #1). That will take you to the star where the Rendezvous planet is. Look for a lot of bases which are the purple icons you see on the planet surface from space. That should get you on the right planet.

And now assuming you really are ready to finish:

• Did you transfer important tech upgrades from your suit/multitool/ship?
  • Then make sure you transfer it back. Your main save does not have them now. You need to send them back!
• Transfer any other items back that you want to keep. If you’re new to New Man’s Sky, I’d suggest keeping rare eggs you received, Good S-Class upgrades you need, and especially any upgrade modules for your freighter (like +1 inventory to freighter, because freighter stuff is hard to find.
• When you arrive back in your main save, anything you stored back in the Expedition terminal on the Anomaly will be waiting for you, kind of like a locker.

Hey, I was on one of those abandoned freighters , and well, I died. Now my grave is in space and I can’t collect it, my ship inventory is empty, and when I fly trough it or shoot it, nothing happens.

I heard people mentioning that a ship exchange scam is finally over.

I was told once by a traveller that people call me an NPC in NMS, don’t know what that means but that is who I am right now. I’ve forgotten my real name years ago.

I travelled the universe trying to make a living. I’ve done some really bad deeds to be able to provide for my family. Killed wildlife, smuggled goods, destroyed natural resources, colonized planets without managing them and many more that I dare not to mention. After all that I’ve done, I’ve decided to put everything on a Hauler. Brought my family with me and lived life through sweet and sour.

One day, a traveller came to me at a station, offered me a really good deal for my hauler. A trade in for his S class ship plus some extra money and in total it will be an amount that will set me up for life. I accepted under the interstellar guidelines and rules. Money was deposited into my E-Wallet. One second later, I saw the traveller putting my dear Hauler into recycling. All those memories, all those adventures, were all gone in a second. That traveller was a destroyer of ships and a destroyer of dreams. I swallowed my pain and tried to ignore his actions since he already paid me.

After that, I saw him coming back to me and somehow hacked into MY SHIP (the one that he owned before), got access into it and threw me out. I was left with NOTHING. And before I say anything, he flew away, leaving me and my family on that station without shelter, no money, and no way of going to a planet to get my life back together.

The station’s security were not joking, they told me that I need to leave. I explained, no one cared. After an hour, they threw my kid into space were I saw him explode into thousands of pieces and they told me that me and my wife are next if I don’t solve this.

I went into the station’s lobby, and saw a GEK named Snoopy Doggo. He looked rich and had something in his mouth that spreads some kind of aroma in the air that’s makes everyone around him vulnerable. I begged him to help me. He agreed on the terms that I give up everything I ever cherish for this. I accepted and he sent me to some dark alleys behind the station. I lost my honor and saw my wife do disgusting things thinking we will be out of this soon. The monsters took turns on both of us. I saw the money piling up in Doggo’s pockets, I thought I will get paid. That never happened. Even at this moment, I am still being used as a slave. A kind master accepted to let me use this device to spread my message before he spreads my “message”. There are thousands of us here in the alleys and no one is getting paid. WE ARE SLAVES FOREVER. I asked the others and it was the same traveller who did this to all of us. Some also were scammed by travellers using something called “steam” to gain access into our galaxy. Life will never be the same again but I am glad that we will not see more brothers and sister enter the dark alleys after the recent news. Intertellar E-crime can’t let this go by after all those missing entities’ claims. I hope that one day they will find us. Help us. NMS NPC, out.

I’m obsessed with this game but I don’t usually play multi-player games so am a bit dumb. Now me and my boyfriend want to play together but we have some questions.

1. What is the best way for him to meet me at my base, like how does he get there the first time? He doesn’t have all his glyphs unlocked yet (still far from it).

2. How can he access the items in my storage containers?

3. Can I gift him one of my ships?

So, I’m trying to stay unspoiled and slowly play through No Man’s Sky at my own pace for the first play through or so. I jump into a new system and start looking at the planets and see one labeled, “Cabled.” And I’m like, “Wat.” I just gotta go look. I’m thinking, “It’s really close to the star, maybe that has to do with it…?”

I swoop down and I instantly get goosebumps. WTF ARE THOSE?! The balls, the war of the world looking walker-ish things. So many ball looking things! I’m instantly getting flash backs to The Matrix and how the surface looked then. ARE THERE PEOPLE IN THOSE BALLS?!

I just fly along the surface, too scared to land. There’s little nodules on the sides of some of those balls, are they lasers? If I land, are they gonna cut my ship to ribbons?

Finally, it cuts over from night to day and I get up the courage to land. I’m terrified that I’m going to like, wake up the planet and the entire thing is going to blast me into smithereens for daring to land on the planet of the balls. However, I land without issue and quickly start scanning the balls. “Inorganic material” and “Plantlife” and I’m like… “Huh. Okay. Well, maybe that’s just a limitation of the game engine. It could still like, wake the giant war-of-the-worlds looking MFs if I poke one.”

Eventually, I do get up the courage to poke one. It’s at this point my relief washes over me as I’m not immediately incinerated. Just a funny looking rock as far as the game is concerned. Okay. Fair enough.

Though, now, in my head I’m inventing lore upon lore about how that world came to be. I still steer clear of it, just because it’s still creepy AF but it’s been a while since a game has triggered my imagination so hard that I legitimately felt fear.

I still wonder… Could that be a Korvax hive world? A world given over completely to computation and memory storage? When I mined that one ball, did I incinerate the stored memories of millions of Korvax? Did I kill digital Korvax babies?!
