Dont buy slots! they will cost you hundreds of millions! Instead scrap exotic ships and it will give you 1-3 Starship Storage Augumentations.

Best way to farm exotics is to find a Trading Outpost on a paradise/low-storm planet in a tier 3 economy system. Storms are a bother if you have to stand outside and oversee all 7 ship landing pads.

Then just wait for any exotic to spawn and instantly buy it. they cost from 2M to 20M.

After buying it fly/teleport to the space station and scrap it. you’ll get the Storage upgrades along with random upgrade modules and valuable scrap. This is A LOT cheaper than directly buying slots but takes some time.

You can also try to do it in a space station but as soon as you scrap one ship then your default ship will occupy a pad and lower your chances of getting a exotic.

With literally hundreds of bases on the one planet already.

But many more spread through the solar system and nearby galaxy. You can’t warp to a star from Gisto Major that isn’t already colonized by several players.

I love it.

It’s like a colonized region of space with its epicenter on You Know Where. It’s very cool and very Sci fi. Reminds me a lot of Asimov’s universe with Trantor and all that.

I hope some future expeditions accomplish the same thing so there end up being multiple different civilized bubbles in the galaxy all with their own epicenter.

I’m looking at and firing at an enemy torpedo and if I try to lock onto it my ships spins in some random direction because it’s locked on to an enemy ship that’s in completely the opposite direction.

Once I’m in the enemy freighters shield brakes on my ship seem to stop working so I end up bouncing off the ship. I can’t run through the lines to destroy the shield generators when I’m getting bounced back into space.

I’m decent at space combat otherwise but the it feels like the game is handicapping me during freighter attacks. I keep getting dropped into the middle of an asteroid field with friendlies blocking my shots.

Extra fun is that the freighter you’re saving has an RNG controlling the class. When I actually did save a freighter it was a C class ship, a huge step backwards from the A class I have. Sorry but the new mechanic kinda sucks, the ships being saved should Always be an A class or better or it’s not worth the time. The free freighter that the Atlas questline gives you was better than what I got when I saved a freighter. That’s the level of time the new system wastes.
