So I’m fairly early on in the game (I think). I was warping between systems/galaxies, whatever they are, trying to trigger a space fight to get my free freighter. I warp and see what looks like a black hole hanging around in space straight after I warp. It’s not the system I was told to warp to as part of the main story mission that has something to do with black holes…There’s no dialogue boxes or icons on the compass at the top of the screen telling me what it is. So I fly into it, and then the standard warp loading screen plays. Nothing like the videos I’ve just watched from others flying through a black hole in this game. Then it spits me out in some random system and I have no idea where I am or what I’m supposed to do! In the Galaxy Map I can’t find any of the places I previously visited (I’d only warped like twice, maybe three times before this and close by my starter stuff). I seem to have lost one of the three main quests also…

So, do I stay and do stuff in this far away system, no where near any of the main story quests or previous stuff? Or do I leave and go back to where I was, though I may never get back here? Sorry this is rambling but I’m beyond confused at what the hell just happened.

I see a lot of posts complaining about the Permadeath aspect of this expedition and I don’t get it. I mean, it’s harder, sure. And you have to manage your resources, sure. And I’m no gaming expert…I’m a casual 40 y/o player.

That said, the only time I’ve died is when I had to for that one milestone. And I’ve been fighting sentinels, hanging out in the elements, and fighting in dog fights in space with absolutely NO issues.

Sure, I’ve pulled off a few fights. Sure, I’ve dug into the ground to hide and take a breather when the sentinels we’re getting the better of me. I’ve lost my shields quite a few times. But I’ve fought back.

This isn’t meant to be a “get good” post. Just play smart, manage your resources, and you’ll walk through it with relative ease y’all. 😁👍🏼

KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON, TRAVELLERS!
