You can also drop a quick tip!

Tip #1: Always try to multitask. Too many new players seem to be hyper focused on farming for something rather than enjoying the game. You’ll get tons of units and nanites as you play. 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.

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, unless it is some form of egg (companion eggs for pets, void eggs to begin a quest for a living ship). 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 you select the summon icon, you can find current ship, exocraft, freighter and other ships). If it does not have fuel, it can be summoned on the Anomaly (once you unlock it), your freighter (once you acquire one), or it will magically show up in the space station if you decide to scrap the new ship.”

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. It’ll come in handy when you need to learn how to craft materials. Turn off pvp. 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.

Best method for me: Just rip the fleets in space apart,don’t bother looking for the cargo pods withe the modules. Destroy everything,so the freighters as well. Easy targets and they give you great loot(s-class freighter upgrades+dumbloads of bulkhead storage modules which you need to expand the storage and tech slots on your freighter)as well. Just have enough sodium to recharge your shields. You can do that with 3-4 fleets in every system before they stop spawning. Then just jump to the next system and repeat.

Note: Try to go to rich systems. I don’t know if you get s-class upgrades in poorer systems as well. Always keep an eye on the race of the system(Gek,Korvax,Vykeen). Stick with one race,cause after all you gonna destroy your own reputation pretty quickly. So loose it on one and not all three of them.

End of the song: Keep expanding your freighter slots with the bulkhead storage modules(you can choose if you wanna use them for tech or storage,just click on a tech slot and it will be used for that), soon you will have more bulkhead storage modules and freighter upgrades than you need so you can sell them for nanites at the space station. Meanwhile your ‘salvaged frigate modules’ keep filling up. Still gonna take time but you gonna kill a LOT of bird’s with one stone.
