I think I just lost my freighter. I got one after the patch for free after killing some pirates, and just now stumbled upon another freighter under attack and got it for free too, but now that freighter is my default one and I can't find a way to go back to the old one (where all my stuff is.) Am I hosed?

It feels a lot harder to find properly habitable worlds now. I remember before I'd stumble on total paradise planets frequently, now it's all completely frozen/toxic/fiery hellholes and when I do find a place that seems promising (bountiful etc.) with low Sentinel activity, tons of flora and fauna and a nice 25C temperature, it's 700C firestorms or scalding rain or Sentinels up my rear end every five minutes.  I had a "blissful" world saved, where my old base used to be but it's like 600,000LY away so fuuuuck that.

I think I broke the Traveler questline. I needed to get good standing with the Mercenary guys and was directed to a questgiver, did one of the missions and went back for another but the only one there sucked so I figured I'd go into another system and presto, found a much better mission to do which I then turned in at the same station I got it from. Now it's guiding me back to the first guy, considering that step of the quest complete, but even with the icon over his head he's not advancing the quest and the little tip box says the mission is in another system. I can't roll back a save or anything. Anyone encountered this?

Phobeste posted:Are quest texts broken for other people? Like when I hand in quests to non mission desk guys, like random ones at trading posts, they’ll say something that’s clearly an unreplacdd localization tag like NPC_PLANET_MISSION_RES_SUCCESS. At first it was Korvath and I thought it was on purpose and cute but they all do it lol Actually, yeah. I've been thinking it was intentional sort of computery gibberish but now that you mentioned it, that totally is a missing bit of flagged dialogue that's supposed to be there. On a related note, completing those missions is completely hit or miss for me, sometimes I go through turning them in and despite acknowledgement from the NPC I get no reward and the quest stays active and tells me to go to another system to turn it in. Whaaaaat?

I found a cool ship but the first person cockpit view stinks. My normal one is a jet-like fighter type I can look around great in (and see all the instruments/displays) but the other one barely shows the top of the radar. Adjusting FoV doesn't seem to help. Oh well.

Very claustrophobic. .. yes! The cockpit protrudes out from the front and opens up like a mouth. It was also an A class like my fighter, but with loads more cargo room so I repaired it and figured I'd use it for farming within systems (the hyperdrive on it is poo poo) but there's only a very limited front view out of the cockpit and barely any view of the instruments.

I wish you could move upgrades and things around in your inventory since coupling upgrades with weapons/thrusters whatever yields such a huge benefit. Libluini posted:Ha ha ha ha, now I've hosed myself over again: I got back to the huge, expensive ship I found and claimed it again. But this time, I wanted to repair the thrusters because I saw how easy that was. Can you not just use the quick menu to select and summon it on a planet? It should work for any ship you've claimed.

By the way, you can prevent your mining laser from overheating if you stop using it right as the bar is about to reach the end and immediately firing it back up. Old tip but still in the game and maybe someone doesn't know about it.

I found the coolest place, a "Glassy" planet. Dead silent with really unnerving, but chill ambient music, no life, barely any plants, but it did have these:  Floating mineral formations that give Ferrite Dust. They even reflect sunlight really intensely.  Bonus Freighter picture:

Big McHuge posted:Nope, it's got an overlay that says damaged module, it appears red when I'm flying around in space, and when I land on each of them they give me a message indicating that there is damage. Prior to the patch, when I got out it listed a single damaged module, but said module wasn't appearing anywhere. Now it's saying "0" damaged modules to repair. I can walk around for a bit, and when I take off it will give me the Frigate Repair Complete message, but then go immediately back to being broken. I have 1 damaged module but it doesn't show up anywhere on the actual Frigate.

Just got an S-class Frigate, sent it on an easy mission and just a couple of minutes later it was critically damaged, same thing, says there's two damaged components, I repair one and the other one is nowhere to be seen. I leave the Friagte and the quest to repair it completes but it's still hosed. Screw the Freighter crap until they fix this.

In my experience, things do start getting weirder the more you progress; I got all three of the special hyperdrive things (is it really true you only need one of them?) and I'm jumping into some pretty weird systems now. Never saw anything like the floating shiny metal pillar planet or this:  until I left the comfort of the standard yellow star systems.

Just throwing it out there, six S-grade movement upgrades are loving godly. Your feet will never touch the ground. Get some with a bonus to initial boost too and just tapping the button will send you up into the sky. I can't wait for them to fix the rocket boots, it's going to be insane.

Anyone else found something like this? You found what most old players are currently looking for, including me. There are some spots like that that are currently the only way to reclaim an old pre-Next base, but they're borderline impossible to find because, surprise surprise, it's bugged.

Macaluso posted:How the gently caress do I complete photo missions? I'm following the criteria the mission wants but taking a photo does nothing but simply provide me with a screenshot. It doesn't give me credit for taking a picture Related to this, hint for PS4 players; if you have the "quick screenshot" function on (tap Share button, take screenshot/double tap to record video,) for these missions activate photo mode, hold the Share button until the side menu pops up, and press Triangle. That'll do it. For the "normal" mode I think you only need to press the Share button once in photo mode. NMS is weird about this for some reason.

They fixed reclaiming your old base! The quest now shows an actual in the wild base computer you can use to teleport your pre-Next base to it. Mine is.. not quite as cool as I remembered but hey, it works now. And it gave me back a bunch of buildable stuff I had pre-Next too. Finally got the blueprint analyser back!  Now to fix my frigates!

I have a new base on a nice planet that I just flew around in (with the mission active), scanned around until it said it had found a suitable location and it was on the same planet. Went to the icon and there was the base computer that allowed me to restore the old base, done. Also they didn't fix fixing the friggin' frigates. My frigates are still hosed.

For anyone having problems making money, just land on planets and scan creatures (and flora, why not) after you get 3 S-grade scanner upgrades. I'm hemorrhaging money and I'm still at 60 mil just from that. Scanning plants is a guaranteed 60k per pop (even resource plants that you pick up with the interact button) and creatures range from 100k (common) to 350k (rare) and it adds up mighty quick. I'm so tempted to start a new save just to unfuck my pre-Next game but I must have hundreds of Gek/Korvax/Vy'keen words already and I don't want to get them all again.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:If you’re on PC and this is all you particularly care about you can actually use a save editor to both see all the words you have and give a new save those same words so you’re starting fresh without losing that. PS4, so nope. This game needs a new game+ or an option to start over with discoveries/upgrades/words, especially with how much patches gently caress and unfuck the game if you're playing on an old save.

I don't know about that but I'd imagine it still carries everything from the old save when you do that, I mean a completely fresh slate, just with discoveries and upgrades and words, everything else is freshly generated, including quests. That would be nice.

TjyvTompa posted:Does anyone know how to fix the problem where no atlas station will "talk" to you? I have that exact same problem, at the exact same point no less, with a Heart of a Sun sitting in my inventory. Nada and Polo don't give me waypoints to new Atlas stations, the ones they point to are ones I've already visited since there are no language spheres and no terminal I can interact with. I'm guessing it's bugged, so just focus on other things until they patch it out.

TjyvTompa posted:I saw old references to a similar problem and the solution then was to go to a system without an atlas station. Save, reload, jump to system with atlas station in it. Some people also said to just play and after a (long) while you will discover a new atlas station. Haven't tried either yet, doubt it will work since that bug is so old that we probably have a new bug. I think what broke it for me was visiting a friends 1st atlas station after visiting my 10th. Yeah I remember that being in the game pre-Next too. I'm not exactly sure what broke it for me but as with just about everything else with this game, doing something even slightly unexpected or going about it a bit differently screws it up. I've tried a few solutions to that but they didn't work so now I'm just doing other things that do work until a patch where that quest works again.

Look out for "Metal Fingers" when you're on a planet; they give TONS of resources each, mostly gold and uranium from what I've seen. I ignore the gold because gently caress, when do you need gold and you can just mine it off asteroids anyway, but the uranium is basically a super-cheap, infinite refill to your launch boosters so make sure to get every metal finger that has uranium in it. It takes a while to mine but a single one will net you around 200 to 250!

Oh that's good to know. I have tons of pyrite stashed in my freighter because I didn't know what to do with it and I'm constantly pulsing around and have to stop to gather tritium. Not that it's that big of a hassle, takes a few seconds at most but still, good tip!
