So I used my last echo locator to find a harmonious camp. It directed me to a ship that looked pretty sweet. Then my visor pointed me to the dissonance resonator.

Last time It led me to an echo locator so I decided to mark the resonator and come back after I searched around for another locator.

Found another resonator (no locator) and decided to call off the hunt and went back to the 1st resonator. Grabbed the resonator and looked for the inverted mirror but my visor was ‘blank’ and the location of the ship was lost. A restore just put me at the 2nd resonator I found & still no ship marker on the HUD

Sure learning a lot of hard lessons lately. I did get a nice multi-tool from the camp tho as a consolation prize

I started playing on Wednesday. Was exploring and found a corrupted sentinel planet, took out some resonators and got a few echo locators. Found an interceptor ship and claimed it then used another echo locator which lead me to another ship that looked the same but had 1 less slot for tech and cargo, so claimed that too and sold it for 26 million. I’m guessing different ships on the same planet look the same but have different classes, slots and base stats.

Do I need to find a different corrupted sentinel planet to get a different design of ship. If yes, will traveling to that new planet in a different system to get the new ship design then traveling back to the original planet refresh the design or not.

Tldr: do I need to travel to 100 dissonant systems and 100 corrupted sentinel planets to see different ship designs or can I bounce between 2?

So I decided I was going to go visit Eissentam finally, and starting in my home galaxy of Calypso, I figured hey, I’ll do the thing everyone suggests, go through center, find ancient ruin, find portal, input glyphs that warp near center, go through center, rinse and repeat.

Well, I figured I’d visit an Atlas station first, thinking that if I “recreate the galaxy” again, I could just select paradise systems and I’d find Eissentam. I visited an Atlas station right near the center of Calypso, however, despite having a new Heart of the Sun, it wouldn’t let me recreate a new universe — instead, the quest log just tells me to locate a black hole. Which I did, but obviously didn’t do much since I was already near the center, and actually just erased the Atlas Path quest from my log.

I tell you this because the process of going through a black hole triggers a bit of a glitch.

When I went through the center of the galaxy and dropped into the new one, I was about 3500 LY from the new galaxy’s core.

Turns out, this is an actual thing: it’s called a Core to Core jump. If you enter a black hole before entering the galactic center, you will enter the new galaxy about the same distance that you were when you went into that black hole. This stays active, you don’t need to visit new black holes — I’m jumping my way to Eissentam right now: go through center, fix and fuel ship’s hyperdrive, go through center. No locating ruins, no inputting portal coordinates.

Finally managed to hatch my void egg and got lovely living ship. My only concern is that it has very poor jump range. I can only go to the nearest system and that’s it – I get “out of range” message. My everyday ride is sentinel ship (A class, first one that I found) and I can do several jumps before reaching range limit (I believe that max is 700-800 ly).

Is there a way to upgrade my living ship range?
