Is there a better way to repair found ships? It seems like a crazy amount of resources to to fix it all up

Unless you want a specific ship model, it would be easier to find a crashed sentinel interceptor on a dissonant planet. They come with all the modules already repaired.

screaden posted:Is there a better way to repair found ships? It seems like a crazy amount of resources to to fix it all up There is not, with the sole mentioned caveat of "buying repair kits", which makes the actual repairing just as much of a hassle but the combination of easily-found materials and repair kits for the more expensive/harder to source bits can help speed up/make the process cheaper. That said, every system's ship pool is fixed-- if you find a crashed one you like the look of, you can head to the space station or trade outpost and wait for that exact design to show up eventually and buy it outright, without needing to repair it at all. Whether or not "waiting for a ship to spawn" is faster than "repairing the ship you already have" will vary based on how much of the poo poo you already have in your pockets, but it is an option

It's a good Day 1 way to make some money but yeah, don't bother repairing them above the minimum needed to get them to the station and scrap them, recovering sentinel ships are way more profitable for this reason.

You can also just claim the ship, set it to your ship at the nexus or your freighter, warp to the space station, and sell it that way.

Don't even bother repairing the launcher. Just make sure your working ship is nearby when you claim the broken one or you'll be stuck with having to repair it just to leave the planet.

Can't you set your current ship thru the menu, similar to setting your current weapon? Then just summon it to you.

You can summon any ship while on a planet but whichever you most recently got in is your "current" ship.

There's a decent stretch of the game where you'll end up with one or more of your ships out of launch thruster fuel which means they won't come to you when called.

The quests seem to take forever If you can afford the recipes then go for it, but some of the stuff they give are difficult to get, expensive and at least used to be time gated (not sure if it still works this way but it used to be you could only get so many recipes from factories in a certain amount of time)

Finally got the expedition done. The crash issue I had hasn't been fixed but I got the game to start by unplugging the ethernet cable.  Probably the lamest expedition to date, just painful all around even without the progress-killing bugs. The rewards are neat at least, got my little Fix-It from Batteries Not Included hovering around.

I didn't find it all that hard, just boring. I didn't find the rewards all that great either, mainly because I already have one robot pet and now I have to choose between them. Give me the ability to have more robots! I cheated for the hostile planet and one other achievement though, just found coords on reddit.

Yeah I had to look up glyphs for the corrosive creature back when it was bugged so I just logged out on that planet, then it was fixed, but the game crashed every time I tried to log back in until I did the ethernet cable trick and got the milestone. Anyway, I wish I could do gestures for photo mode on PS5, would've made this picture even jollier

All of the major biome-specific minerals (ammonia / toxic, dioxite / cold, paraffinium / lush, phosphorus / hot, pyrite / desert, uranium / radioactive) can be purchased randomly from landed pilots (such as at a space station) if you're patient enough. Even if you're not in a system which includes any planet of that flavor.

The real solution is to buy insane amounts of ferrite, gold, metal plates and other base building materials and then put down extraction bases for every element you don't want to waste time searching for. Though if you go down that route, eventually you'll have so many multiple 9999 stacks of everything, that poo poo will fill up every single attempt of you expanding your inventory.

Cadmium is a chromatic metal, and chromatic metals are reliably found on every planet orbiting a star of that metal’s color. You can’t mine them in systems of a different color. So to progress through the star access upgrades on the ship(s) engines, you need copper, then cadmium, then emeril. To get those metals, you go specifically to the stars your last engine upgrade gave you access to. The issue you’re probably running into is that a substantial majority of red-class systems are uninhabited. If you’re only going to inhabited systems, you’ll have a hard time mining.

Yeah, if you find a planet with cadmium listed at position 1, migjt as well build a mini base with teleporter there. Same for emeril and other rare resources.

Hell, the anomaly still allows you open access to the current MVP-player-bases, even. They're just harder to find, except for the couple planets that are completely overflowing with population. Any planet near the galactic core will often have multiple player messages and poo poo blasting your UI, for example.

Is there a trick to killing sentinel battleships? I have taken down their shields and blown up all their weapon turrets. The UI says "Shields Disabled // Hull Vulnerable". I blast it with the main guns and the shot gun and nothing happens. The game UI registers the hits but no damage numbers come up. I have shot it all over but there doesn't seem to be a weak point. Googling gives some results but almost every reply to someone asking this question says they have never seen it before nor is there a work around. It also does not seem to be an acknowledged bug so maybe there is something that I am doing or not doing that is causing this? A video of what is going on https://streamable.com/94iv5w Additional information if it matters- B class ship. Have several S or A class enhancements mounted on the ship for the weapons. Do I just need a better ship before I can take these down? edit: I am partially inclined to think there is something obvious I am not doing because every time I have triggered this and/or run into 2 separate pirate battles, the capital ships and or occasionally fighters ships cannot be damaged. But some people claim it is a bug. MikeC fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Sep 23, 2023 |

That sounds like a bug-- I need to double check but I'm pretty sure on the Pirate battleships, you can do some damage on bare hull, with full shields. It's not a ton and it's way more efficient to hit the weak spots that take huge chunks of health off the health bar, but it's not "no damage at all" either. I killed a sentinel battleship with a super undergeared ship early in the expedition, but I think that was also before sentinel battleships had been explicitly retrofitted with the shield generators and poo poo-- so it wouldn't shock me in the slightest if that retrofitting resulted in some unexpected issues. Gonna test and report back.

If you are right at the edge of atmosphere then the battleship will not be hittable, in my case it also doesn't render -- but it can fire at you just fine. Looks to me like that is what's going on. Get higher above the planet and make really sure you're damaging it, it's annoying because the capital ship will just sit there right at the border like a shithead.

Thanks for checking it out / suggestions. I don't think it is the atmosphere thing. Like I am 0 for 6 being able to damage capital ships. Maybe it is the ship I am in that is bugged. Will try to buy a new one.

After being cock blocked again on my ship, I plunked down 10 million for a class A ship, moved all my weapons over and it worked. Not sure if it is coincidence or whether it was that particular ship that was bugged or whether the class of ship is an issue or not.

So I've been playing for some time now and a lot of bugs are starting to show up. On my ROG Ally, it runs fine but some models just don't show up, like chunks of ships are missing and poo poo takes waaaay longer than it used to to load a scene like the inside of freighter. On my PC last night I had to protect my settlement from sentinels but wound up having to run away because they are just so loving strong plus they make my PC chug hard when I try to fight them making it tough to fight them. Oh and there are graphical glitches that make things hard to see. I'm enjoying the game but drat some poo poo doesn't work right sometimes. Also, the physics of freighter is weird. If you fall of your freighter near a planet you'll fall all the way down to the planet's surface. Not a bug, just interesting.
