Why I’m asking this: I’m new to this game. Been at the station a few times and have seen a few A ships pop in that I kind of like. I’ve never bought any and am still in the OG because I always feel like a better one will pop up (better as in nicer or more powerful), or that spending money on these NPC ships is useless because the best ships are crashed on planets.

So I want to hear your thoughts on purchasing NPC ships at the station/anomaly.

Bit of a weird question, but it’s been on my mind since I picked this game back up. I started originally on PS4, put it down for a long time, and then started playing on PC/Deck. While I have a far better understanding of the game now, the base I had on the PS4 was honestly my favorite. Two big biodomes, a huge garage complex for my ship and exocraft, a warehouse for storing my stuff, and all that on an absolutely gorgeous paradise planet that looked amazing during nighttime…

Which got me thinking about the chances of possibly running into that planet and the base. Which then got me thinking about others who might have gotten lucky and come across their old bases in different playthroughs.

Basically: What exactly are my chances of possibly finding the system that contained my old base (which was uploaded while online), and has anyone gotten lucky and done exactly that with one of their old bases?
