A Recovering Addict's Travels through No Man's Sky (Part 3)

Hello, all! It’s good to be back and posting. I got back from visiting my friends pretty late last night, and there was a lot of driving that I had to do to get back, so I ended up crashing in bed before I could get online! I was really itching to play today, though, and got on pretty much as soon as I got home from work, and binged a few hours of game-time. Lots of really exciting stuff happened today, and I’m truly glad to have so many fine people following along on my journey! I’ll likely say this every time, but seriously, thank you all so much for your support. I make sure to read every comment and message, and I’m glad that my writing has been able to help so many other people.

Today, I was a spaceman on a mission. I was going to get off-planet and finally explore this system. Looking up from the irradiated ground of Az Kaban, I searched the skies, looking for any heavenly bodies, but my efforts remained fruitless. Oddly enough, there ended up being several other planets in my star system, but I just happened to be at the right place on my planet to not be able to see any of them! I cobbled together a Portable Refiner and began to refine the materials to repair my ship, and also mined some Uranium from the rocks around my makeshift campsite, as I figured out that I could use it to fuel part of my ship, in a pinch. After a few minutes of work, I had my launch thrusters repaired, and set off into the final frontier.

And man, this game doesn’t disappoint. This wasn’t my first time experiencing space travel in this game, as I did play it a bit on launch, so I had an idea of what to expect, but the view was still incredibly breathtaking. There were several other planets floating somewhat close-together far in the distance, and one of them even had rings, which I’ll get back to later in this journal. A strange transmission came across my screen, directing me to a crashed satellite on a nearby Hyperborean planet. After activating my pulse engine (the third person view of this is seriously insane. WOW!), and a few seconds of travel, I landed on the planet. The original name of the planet was “Nokaric,” and I honestly thought that sounded really cool, so I went ahead and registered that as the permanent name. Despite the temperature being colder than -50 degrees Celsius, Nokaric was an incredibly beautiful world. I’ve always appreciated the stark beauty of winter, and this planet demonstrates multiple aspects of winter quite well. At night, the world is a place of calm, dark blue hues and gentle winds, and during the day, the ground is bright and almost shining in the sunlight, and small hints of life peak through the snow.

I adventured around the planet for a good while, finding some old boxes and gear, scanning the flora and fauna of the planet, and eventually made my way to a crashed satellite, which the mysterious signal had directed me to. I gained some new technology from this satellite, one of which was the Base Computer! I had heard that the base building in this game was pretty extensive, and I was really looking forward to building my own base (or two!) in this universe. I saved the plans for later, and after some more exploring, found a hyperdrive upgrade module in another crashed satellite a few hills over. This looks really valuable, so I’m saving it for later in case I want to use it on a better ship. I learned some of the Korvax language from a weird stone tablet I found also. I wonder if they can get that on Duolingo?

Anyhow, I finally left Nokaric to check out the other worlds in my star system. I landed next on a very rainy planet – the system called it an “Endless Morass.” Not entirely sure what it means, but the planet was seriously cool. High cliffs and small flora made this planet feel like I was on perhaps one of the British Isles, and the rain and fog definately contributed to that feeling. I ended up naming this planet as “Naiadia,” after the greek name for their river goddesses, due to how much water there was on the planet. I also met my first real alien on this planet! Shortly after entering the atmosphere, I noticed a metal structure similar to ones I had seen before. They even had a landing pad, which I ended up using to dock my ship. When I went inside, there was a Korvax manning a technology blueprint stand, as well as his friend, who was moving about inside the base, tending to the plants and making sure the technology was all in working order. After a poor attempt at conversation, my new Korvax friends sold me a blueprint for a teleport receiver (I think), and I sold my cobalt and some other goods to the galactic trade module embedded in the far wall of the station. The rain was absolutely tanking my framerate, however, so I went on my way after not too long.

The last thing I did today was stop at the ringed planet. This was a garden planet, with sunshine, grass, forests, cliffs, and beaches that looked like something out of Super Mario Sunshine. An incredibly gorgeous place, truly. I soon learned that the local wildlife was not as friendly to me as on other planets, as some medium sized animals soon began to make their presence known. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem like they travel in packs, so I never had to worry about more than one chasing me at a time. I snapped a lot of pictures here. I ended up ending my adventures for the day here, after naming the planet Alethia. The word is greek for “truth,” I think, which I find appropriate in some ways to my own personal journey, outside of the game. That, and I think it sounds really pretty anyhow. I plan on exploring the rest of the planets in the system next time, and hopefully choosing one to build my base on. I think I would eventually like to build bases on all of the planets in my star system (yes, even Az Kaban), just to really make it feel more like home, but we’ll see. If you’re still with me, thanks for reading along!

Leaving Az Kaban for good (Look at the cool patterns on the surface!)

Haha starship go brrrrrr

Good Morning, Nokaric!

Some green peeks through the snow

No way this is a natural formation, right?

Can I create a custom squadron from ships I would be scrapping otherwise?

So here’s what I was thinking. You can hire an NPC to your squadron from any space station for example, right? Now what happens if BEFORE hiring them I buy their ship by swapping it with one of my ships that I would be scrapping otherwise? Will I get THAT ship to join my squadron?

Obviously it depends on the pilot too how well they will do in a fight, but this way I could have a squadron made up of Living Ships or fully equipped Sentinel Interceptors, right? Or, in theory I can claim the Starborn Runner as many times as I want if I’ve finished the expedition, can I just keep selling a Starborn Runner by swapping with them AND hire said pilot equipped with the Starborn Runner now? Can I have a full squadron of them?

I’ll test this out soon with a sentinel that I’d scrap otherwise and get back to you, but if this works I think it is huge, so much potential to create an amazing fight squadron this way!

FREIGHTERS, my newest

I missed out on a lot of great stuff, not playing the first several Expeditions. Here in the NMS Reddits, I saw lots of talk about freighters. Naturally I got curious about them. I chose one, then learned that there are two basic classes of freighters. The very common System Freighters, and there are a bunch to choose from. Then, there are the Capital Freighters. Now comes in three flavors, Sentinel, Venator and Pirate Dreadnought. I have flown in all three, and now, in each of their variations. Though, until today, never even one ‘S’ Class.
I was doing the time pulsing my starship around trying my best to scare up just one Organic Frigate. I went to my Pirate freighters bridge, thought better of taking my Capital ship in first, and short teleported to the Hangar Bay, jumped into a new Sentinel starship, launched, then opened the Galaxy Map. I chose a nearby Pirate controlled system. And, jumped. Arrived smack in the middle of a big battle, with a Pirate Dreadnought attacking a big Venator Resurgent freighter. Aw, why not… I flew right to the rear of the Pirate, shot up all its warp engines, then eased up into the Shield Gen channels, blew all of those out, got the message to go get or destroy the Pirate ship….as usual, ya have to dock in its landing bay just to see what class it is and all that. I did, saw it was a C and that one lost out instantly. I flew out and shot it to bits. Then, just for giggles, I thought to check out that big ol Resurgent. I have two in other saved games, but alas, never an S Class. When I landed, I used F to check the deck for its info. What?! An S class??!! COOL! I exited, called in my Pirate Freighter, landed back in the Resurgent, ran up to the command deck (it’s forward!) (ha!) and I was gonna buy it outright. BUT the game has other ideas. It let me trade mine for this one. Oh gee, a B class loaded up at 193 millions for this S class at 23 millions? HECK YES IT’S A DEAL! Units. Nanites. Quicksilver. I gots them! I now also have a lovely S Class Resurgent level Venator type Freighter! FINALLY! I HAVE ONE! Yeah all it takes is just stumbling on one, lucky as THAT! LOL! Thanks for listening in folks, this was fun!

I finally GOT ONE! Yaaaay ME! :oD
