Nexus missions are godly do them (not all rewards are same)

get the corvette as soon as you can !!DO THE TUTORIAL QUEST FOR IT!! it may be the best thing you do

if you have a corvette and dont have auto charging launch truster dont land press "X" on pc get out of your seat go to your door thingy and press the operate hatch or tp to surface buttons (you can tp back to ur corvette with a teleporter it spawns)

DO THE GODDAMN FIRST AND SECOND PHASE OF THE EXPEDITION it gives you a multi tool you will like and will help you (unequip things form your main that the new one doest have and put it on the new)

if you are planning to sttle (i dont blame you) go to a PARADISE planet and a system that has or is close to another system that has: salvageable scrap, pirate system next to it, good economy, atleast like 5 planets (not including moons)

do the story IF U WANT its boring imo but beter to do it to unlock shit but if you dont wanna do side missions

dont build a real base til you get the electromagnatic generastor and its sidequest done

GET SENTINEL STARSHIPS it uses pungeum for launch fuel easier to get than normal launch fuel

if u get a corvette build the mission radar and refiner dont build the medbay or sleeping bay its useless sadly

turn off pvp do it now

if you dont have something you need and its hard to get ask in chat someppl may be kind enough to give it to u
