Anyone else have nothing but bad experiences with Nexus missions?
I’ve done around half a dozen Nexus missions over the last week or so, and it’s getting annoying. Pretty much every time, I’m told to find something, and sent to the system it’s supposed to be in, and told to land on the planet that has the item I’m supposed to be getting. I land on every planet in the system, and the “Land on the right planet” prompt never updates, so I’m stuck in a system that doesn’t have what I need, and have no idea how to get back to the system I started in.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, my last mission was a Survey mission, and it literally killed my character. I surveyed everything I needed to, and was directed to find a location to upload the info. I use a Signal Booster to find a location, get into my Sentinel ship (this will be important), and take off. There’s a storm, so I can’t see, and run into something. Not as in “I hit it and bounce off”, but as in “I hit it, somehow phase through it (it’s a giant flower-bud type thing), and am now stuck inside it, and every time I try to get out, I run into invisible walls that damage my ship until I die”. Dying sucks, but at least I’m out, so let’s move on- wait, nope, my Launch Thruster is damaged so I can’t take off, it needs Pugneum to repair, and all my Pugneum was in my Starship inventory, which is now an hour walk away. And I don’t have a second ship. And I can’t get Pugneum on this planet.
So I make the hour walk, find the place where I’m apparently supposed to upload all the data I’ve gathered along the way, but there’s no way to upload anything (it’s just a Waypoint to a Minor Settlement over 7 hours away), so I can’t finish the mission, and when I get to the location where my starship inventory is, it’s still in the flower bulb I died in, which I have no way to get up to.
My character has no working ship, has found no settlements or trade outposts where they could buy another ship, can’t get the materials to repair their existing ship, and the nearest location they know of where they might be able to get something is over 7 hours away. At that point, I wrote the character off and deleted them.
Frankly, of the last half-dozen Nexus missions I’ve done, I’ve only managed to complete one. Every other mission stands me across the galaxy in a system that doesn’t have what it’s supposed to have, and I don’t know how to get back to the system I started in, so I end up abandoning the character and starting again, only to get screwed the next time I decide to try one, thinking “This one will be different”.
Is this what everyone deals with when doing Nexus missions? Or am I just dumb and doing something wrong?
