the cobalt cheese is definitely the easiest way of making money and as a bonus you can upgrade your exosuit at every station on the way it's great for the early game

also you can just buy them outright if you see them floating around a system, fly towards the fleet and an icon should pop up over one of them 3 star economies have better chances of spawning high class freighters

Are there any functional or stat differences between S and A class multitools if they have the same number of slots? I've got a 24 slot A class that I really like the look of and I'm not sure if I should be bothered hunting for an S class version.

is it just me or is the amount of nanites needed to upgrade a ship just ridiculous even compared to some of the other grinds in this game

hakimashou posted:Its a shitload faster to sit at a space station mulching A-grade ships and selling the upgrades they poop out for nanites than it is to sit at a trading post save scumming until an s-class appears. it's just annoying that you have to farm in a way that feels like an exploit to get even anywhere close to the amount of required nanites like it's 500 nanites for an S-Class mod and you need maybe 16 each of those for your ship, exosuit and multitool but then you need 50k to go from an A-Class ship to an S-Class? every other resource in the game has a way of minimising the grind but for nanites, nope, go sit in a space station for three hours in order to farm up an order of magnitude more than you'd need for any other purpose

Judge Tesla posted:I'm not really sure why someone in the Anomaly gave me 78 million worth of goods but maybe I gave off a new player vibe? I guess my ship looks similar to the starter one but its an A Class fighter with fully upgraded inventory slots, though I guess they can't see that. sometimes i'm in a rush and i just offload a bunch of junk to whoever's closest

Kestral posted:I'm considering finally checking NMS out, but I'm wondering: is there any kind of structure or progression to gameplay? Are you working toward something, or is it essentially hopping around planets looking for interesting visuals? There's a pretty solid crafting progression, upgrading your ship, your suit, your multitool, eventually your base, your space car, your mech, your freighter, your army of frigates. What hooked me was that it always felt like there was just one more thing you could upgrade or optimise or discover that would noticeably improve your gameplay in some way or another.

if there's no nice planets at all in your starting system then you should be pretty close to building a warp drive so you can start scouring the galaxy

You can delete stuff you've built by holding down Ctrl while in the build menu on keyboard, not sure for controller. You get all your materials refunded.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:In case anyone else runs into the same issue-- Portals absolutely work on frigates (as outgoing, not incoming, but still), but you may need to inexplicably just...drop and re-place it a couple times to get it to recognize that it's powered?

Gadzuko posted:What's the best way to get the freighter upgrades? I think they're called salvaged frigate modules. The wiki seems to be saying that searching abandoned ships is the easiest way other than attacking random ships for a rep loss. iirc as long as you only pop the cargo containers on the big frigates and don't blow up the frigates and fighters you don't lose any rep far and away the fastest way to do it

Muscle Tracer posted:the ultimate lol about this game is that if you want to do the thing it advertises on the tin, namely just explore the universe, you can actually do a pretty fine job of that in the starter ship. launch fuel and hyperdrive fuel aren't that expensive, and all those hundreds of squares of inventory space don't enhance the exploration experience much at all. all that other stuff is nice if you want it, but it's technically all tangential to the core gameplay loop. you say this like my lizard brain responds to reason

Are gravitino balls the best choice if you don't want to craft?) Circuit boards only require 4 plants to craft and are easily the best bang for your buck if you want to make easy money from farming.

You can view sentinel activity from orbit which means if that's all you're looking for you can scan pretty much the entire system from your warp in point. Jumping from system to system it shouldn't take too long to find a sentinel free non-radioactive hellhole. Any planet that doesn't specifically list high sentinel activity should be pretty chill.

It's been a while since I've done the starting quest but yeah I'm pretty sure you can complete the quest anywhere and you don't have to delete anything. Worst case scenario you can warp back to the old base.

Just to be clear that means the very first one to ever spawn, if you skip out on that encounter or turn down the freighter the next encounter will have a chance to be a capital ship but will still be free.
