Okay, so been playing this game for a few weeks now with some friends (on PS4) and the one thing that has kind of been annoying is when we want to travel to a new system to explore together.

I’m aware of the Anomaly method of allowing people in a group to instantly come to your system, but there doesn’t seem to be any way for a group to do this in game (as Freighters are subject to extreme problems and apparently not advised to be used as a taxi service)

The issue with this obviously being if people are in a group but in different systems, it could potentially be exploited and abused for quick easy travel for multiple people (yes I know, I managed to say that with a straight face despite portals and gateways being a thing).

So, that got me to thinking, how could it work, potentially if something like this were implemented. Starbases wouldn’t work because not every system has a starbase. But what about something that could be constructed and then deployed while in space, like a satellite?

A player deploys it, then the group each activate it, syncing them together and allowing the one who deployed it to set a jump destination based on the minimum jump distance range of the group.

This would allow groups to jump together to other systems, and be a fun little project for groups who enjoy building communities within the game.

That or, just, you know, if they fixed it so people could ride in freighters without getting glitched.

So I’m not even sure if my new hero reads this Reddit. But they saved my expedition. And I wanted to acknowledge them. Long story short phase 3 stuck on an island in the middle of an ocean with zero launch thruster fuel, and empty launch thrusters. (When you have thrusters rechargers on your main game you take thruster fuel for granted) I had no options no chromatic metal to build a base. No exocraft. And I was an 11 hour walk to my base. I was seriously stranded. Then I happen to see an interloper in the area. I took the chance and messaged them politely asking for assistance. This outstanding individual came to my aid and rescued me with 2 launch thruster fuels. Absolutely saved my bacon. And my expedition. I don’t want to mention their name. Privacy and all. But I hope they read this and know that the help they gave a random person is so very much appreciated. Proof positive that this is the best community in gaming. I’m a day one player before we had multi-player and I’m so glad this game has it now cause this community is amazing. And to my hero thank you again for saving my expedition I only hope that I am able to pass it forward and help someone else.
