I’ve now completed the Beachhead Expedition twice (on PS5 and PC), and both times I encountered trolls who thought it would be funny to try and seal off something from other players. From crashed ships boxed in via a base to Traveler graves either boxed in or even erased via a carefully placed comm ball.

If you come across something like this, it’s trivial to defeat. For a base, report the base and it will vanish, allowing you access whatever was hidden. To report, either access the base computer or bring up your build menu, then bring up the secondary delete/color change menu and go to the right. You’ll find a report option there. Highlight a base part (if you can’t access the base computer) and report it. Same thing with a comm ball. If the object you’re seeking has vanished, save and reload after you’ve reported the base/comm ball and it should reappear.

If you’re one of the mouthbreathers who thinks this is funny, it’s not. It’s a jerk move that annoys experienced players and frustrates beginners. Don’t do it. Remember the words of the Wyld Stallyns…

Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes!

I’ve got about 70 hours in the game and feel like I’m in a rut, grinding for A/B class ships and upgrades, doing the same things over and over… running back and forth between trade posts, space station, base. It’s getting repetitive and I’m kinda not having as much fun as I did to start.

I see players on Reddit with upgraded S class ships, freighters, etc having only put 100-150 hours in the game

I know there really is no wrong way to play the game but obviously I’m not doing it right, either

Any advice to get beyond this plateau I’ve reached?
