I have photon cannons upgraded up to 26% Damage, 61% Heat dispersion and 62% Fire rate, the peak damage potential is 10,662 DPS, and i also have a phase beam with upgrades up to 69% Damage and 226% Heat dispersion, and peak damage potential of 6,245, i am curious if there’s a weapon that can do better than the photon cannons when upgraded, i don’t wanna use a lot of nanites for upgrades for different weapons and then in the end they won’t even get to the same level

I’ve seen with the 4.0 update and now the redux expeditions, along with quite a few posts that a lot of players are stressed about what they HAVE to get or do.

Don’t be a completionist. You don’t need the “best” freighter, ship, multi tool, or anything else. Just do what you want. Get the first freighter that’s free of it looks cool to you. Use a subpar multi tool because it does what you need. Build a lame 4 room base. It’s OK.

This whole game revolves around a story of repeated failing simulations in which the actions of those within really don’t matter. That gives you the freedom to do whatever you want. Don’t hamper your fun with obsessively reloading saves to get the “right” ship or freighter, just get what you want. Don’t stress about missing out on an expedition, all the rewards are pixels on a screen.

This isn’t against the completionist players or the min-maxers. If that’s what you WANT to do, I just see too many posts of people asking if they should do this or that, and you need to know this-

In a universe of infinite possibilities, all of them are correct. Have fun – don’t complete goals.
