I posted coordinates to my garden base I made over a year ago and just now stumbled across a special “thank you” from a Traveller named Fujins Sky. Not sure how I missed it, but if Fujins Sky is reading this, you’re very welcome!

I think most of us share our bases, ships, cool finds, etc., without any expectation of a thank you, but it’s really nice to have something spend the time to show appreciation like this 🙂

(original post to my garden base)

I play on Switch and this might be a Switch-specific bug, but wanted to post a warning to others just in case: I spent 20+ hours over a couple of weeks save-scumming for an S class pirate freighter. After dozens of space battles and a disheartening number of C classes, I finally found an S class. I went up to the captain to claim the ship, elected to transfer the base from my current freighter to my sweet new S class pirate freighter…and the game crashed. Restore point and autosave were from prior to defeating the freighter and it had changed to a C class when I reloaded and tried again.

It was pretty damn devastating…

So I dismantled my current freighter base and as a test I tried claiming the next pirate freighter I encountered (C class…of course), and sure enough I had no problem when I chose to claim the freighter and said “no” to transferring my existing base.

Like I said, maybe it’s only a Switch problem but pretty horrible if you encounter it. Especially since my base isn’t all that special so if I knew the bug existed, I gladly would’ve ditched my existing base.

Importantly in my test I accidentally left a couple materials from dismantling my freighter base in the core freighter storage, so I got an additional warning about the freighter inventory before the base transfer question. So out of paranoia I’m leaving 1 carbon in my freighter inventory so the next time I find an S class, I’ll be replicating the exact scenario where it didn’t crash. But my guess is the inventory warning doesn’t matter.

FWIW I have reported the bug on ZenDesk, not the most critical bug but pretty frustrating for people in my situation.

How exactly does getting a second living ship work, do you buy and activate the egg and then warp to where you want to go? And what’s up with people and posting the specific coordinates(the numbers) in the system shouldn’t it already be marked once you warp?

I have 80 hrs in the game and have loved it. I think I’m hitting a wall though. I’m starting to feel like money is no longer an issue, and I’m becoming bored. ** **I’ve been doing several things to earn money, to get things I am looking forward to (more frigates, ships, etc). I’ve been trading, buying plants/materials for cheap to make and sell more expensive products, scanning things on planets (with scanner upgrade that gives a ton of money), using distress signal maps to find downed ships to sell, etc.

I’ve reached the point now where I have a freighter I’m happy with, plenty of frigates (though I plan to buy a few more, for about 8 mil units), 2 S class solar sails and S class explorer, and an A class fighter. I do plan on getting a good S class hauler, fighter, and hopefully some exotics. These are expensive, sure, but I’m currently at 130 mil units, and feel like money is getting easy to make between high end products, millions for trade goods with less than an hour’s work, frigate missions, etc. Let alone when my settlement finally comes online.

A lot of my favorite things are becoming boring. Waiting at a trading post to buy cheap trading goods and plant products because pointless. Frigate missions have some interesting items but usually I just sell the items, so these become less valuable. Missions that award credits (and much less than I can make in the same amount of time) feel like a waste of time.

Not trying to be cynical, but just explaining the situation I’m in. I love this game and want to keep playing and enjoying it, but my motivation and interest is hitting a wall as I feel like I’m reaching the point where money is not an issue and I can get everything I want, which leaves nothing left to work for.

Anyone deal with this situation? Am I missing some context? Are there other big purchase things I can try to get?

TL;DR: money is getting super easy to get, which feels like I’ve reached the end game, and I’m becoming bored. With so much money I can buy anything it feels like, which means I have nothing to work forward to. Anyone deal with this? Is there something I’m missing? Are there expensive things to look forward to besides ships?
