It is finished. I can’t remember when I started, but Galaxy 128 was 6 months ago. I arrived in Galaxy 255 last night, dropping a base computer in each one behind me. Solo. Mission accomplished. I’ll make my way to Galaxy 256 after a break.

I’m sure it can be done faster but managing a job and a relationship has a pesky way of getting in the way of an endeavor like this.

99% of my bases are in 3 star economy, Yellow star systems. Either Paradise planets (no predators) or empty/dead planets. All my bases are next to Portals for easy access to any part of any Galaxy if ya got the Glyphs.

Props to my broken multi-tool, my Living Ship, and the Endurance update with the planetary scanner. Absolute gold. It really sped up the last 50 or so hops.

I’m settling down in Galaxy 250. Willing to transport anyone who has a specific Galaxy in mind.

Have fun interlopers.

Below are a few popular questions that we’ve received from our past FAQ thread. As always we ask that everyone be respectful and we welcome everyone’s contribution so have fun!

Q- I’m keen to start a new passive money making pursuit. What are some good ideas or guides post-Waypoint?

A#1-Gold farm, then take that stack and sell it at a terminal (not traders) in systems that sell gold. Sell all your gold to the terminal and crash the economy. Then buy it all back at 80% off discount. You just got free money and keep all the gold. All this takes is an initial investment on a gold farm, then you carry all that gold with you and just sell/buy back when you get to another system that sells gold. With 50 stacks in my ship’s cargo hold, I can make somewhere around 150 million units in each system I do this in.

A#2-Start a Farm, Fusion Igniters or Statis Devices Farm which will increase your profits to 100- 200 mil fairly quickly and you can even send out multiple freighter missions which will help you get aronium, magno-gold, Enriched carbon and more which will increase the profits even more.

A#3-Quickest way I’ve found to make a TON of units: Harvesting Storm Crystals. Find a VERY hot planet that has frequent fire storms. DURING STORMS ONLY – you can see the bright white light from Storm Crystals if you fly around low enough. Fly to them, land, quickly harvest them, get back in your ship and fly to the next before you burn up.

Q-How do I get the Advanced Mining Laser? I don’t have the option to craft one, and the multi-tool upgrade vendor at the space station doesn’t have the blueprint for sale.

A-In order to get it, you have to look for the blueprints in crashed ships or abandoned facilities. You get it from the main story (awakenings) or you can buy it on the anomaly.

Q-What do I actually do in the game? I finished the tutorial, is there anything else beside gathering stuff, building a base and repeat?

A#1-It’s really whatever you want, there’s a base story, (assuming you haven’t completed it already), follow the quest log and you’ll figure it out, but things You’d want to do for end game? You can collect multiple multitools, ships, built a fleet for your freighter, etc.

Q-Is there a planet that is populated by many players, and they built their base close to each others like a city?

A- Yeah its the Galactic Hub Project, Its a place where many people have bases and each day the numbers grow. Please help yourself. There are many factions in NMS that do this, even NMS Pirates Hub.

Q-I’m still pretty early into the game, just making my way to the center of the galaxy, what should I be spending my credits on?

A-Go hang around a outlaw/pirate trading post. Cheapest S-class start at around 8-8.5 million without a trade-in. I recommend Vikeen pirate, as then you have two good and 1 remote chances at high-maneuverability S-class: fighter, solar, exotic.

I designed this to be a fast paced “hockey with guns instead of sticks” type of game. It’s on a low gravity moon for maximum physics kick to the ball.

The scoreboards go from 0-99 but you can actually play to higher scores as the system wraps back to 0 after 99. If a shorter game is desired, just shoot the reset button above either scoreboard display to wipe both scores after you’ve reached your goal to start a new game.

There is a glass bottom platform hovering above surrounding the sphere creator for any spectators/referees. On it is buttons to reset the ball to center court and a switch to override the light sensor (solar panel hooked to an inverter) for the colored lights on the sides of the stadiums if you’d like them on constantly.

If the ball gets fouled (knocked out of the stadium), there are also ball reset buttons on the bottom of the referee platform that can be shot to activate.

Best weapons to have on your multi-tool are mining beam, boltcaster, pulse spitter, and scatter blaster. Each has it’s use.

Weapons to leave behind: plasma launcher (amazingly it usually barely moves the ball), geology cannon (same), and the blaze javelin (fully charged it packs as much punch as a pea shooter to the ball).

The glyphs are in the pics. Hope some of you at least enjoy it and please do let me know if there are any rendering issues or other problems (some parts may lose their custom color.. I had issues with having to “repaint” pieces while building).

Any and all feedback is welcome including ideas for improvement, bugs, frame rate issues, etc. Built it on a PS4 Pro and it runs smooth for me, your milage may vary as it’s pushing the edge of the upload limit.

BTW, this was done without any glitch building techniques, all since Frontiers, with mostly legacy concrete parts (they color nice and don’t have context sensitive weirdness).

Enjoy!
