Hi everyone. New to the fediverse and Lemmy, like many others have said I’m more determined to get involved and to talk and contribute here. I don’t know why exactly. It just feels more authentic.

I’ve played the game since launch for several years. Last three years I’ve had a bit of a break. I’ve come back to so much content that I’m quite overwhelmed!

So my question is this. What are you all working towards in game now? What are your goals? What are you enjoying doing in game?

I’ve decided to try and get my fleet organised as I’ve never really even looked into that part of the game. Seems like a nice way to make some money and the new freighter redesign looks great! I don’t really understand the fleet mechanics at all.

I’m also trying to use the glyph exchange to find a nice exotic ship but I’ve just spent half an hour sat in a space port so far without the desired ship showing up.

Looking forward to hearing what everyone is up to in game!

    A while back I started a Permadeath save specifically for the purpose of finishing off that last Steam task… so lately, I’ve mostly just been beefing up that save. Got a crap-ton of upgrades to my primary ship and Multitool, started a settlement, upgraded my Minotaur and got an S-class freighter – which I don’t even have on my original save with >500 hours!

    So now, I’m actually finding it next to impossible to repeat the process, and find an S-class freighter for my other saves.

        First, head to the Anomaly station and buy all of the blueprints, if you haven’t already. That is always the right way to start upgrading any of your tech.

        Next, have you claimed a settlement yet? If not, do that. After working a few cycles through the settlement questline, you’ll get something interesting for your Minotaur.

        And of course, always check the exocraft salesman on the stations; they don’t always have the same upgrades, but you should eventually find some good options that’ll make your Minotaur more useful. I personally recommend only buying S class upgrades, if you can afford it.

        And if you haven’t already discovered this: there are two exocrafts that can navigate underwater… not just one.
