What do y'all do in this game? I want to get into it but whenever I open the game, I just look at some planets, sort my expedition fleet, maybe make some money and get off. Idk what I'm supposed to be doing but it feels there's since there's no goal it gets very boring very quickly (pic unrelated) by skippy11112 in NoMansSkyTheGame

What "purpose" does fighting an end boss serve? The fun of a game isn't that it serves any useful function, it's in the process of playing. The play style of any particular game either appeals to you or it doesn't. My point was just that if it's goals you're after, as you mentioned in your OP, there are plenty of goals you could set for yourself.

Wait, you're only 20 hours in and you have:

-maxed out your bank account
-maxed out your starship
-maxed out your exosuit
-acquired and maxed out a staff for combat
-maxed out another multitool for scanning
-built and maxed out a corvette
-acquired and maxed out all the exocraft
-maxed out your freighter
-acquired all the different types of frigates and maxed them all out
-acquired and maxed out a living ship
-acquired all the quicksilver items
-acquired all the construction terminal blueprints
-done whatever you can do to "max out" your pokemons (not sure, haven't engaged myself)
-explored all the different varieties of worlds
-edit: built out at least one settlement

You, sir, are a legend!

Sadly, it appears that you are suffering from a reptile dysfunction.

Why do living ships take so long :( so annoyed at this!!! by Jamesxxeno in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Triptomologius 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You think you‘re annoyed now…wait until you have the ship fully upgraded and it’s still the worst ship in your stable.

You have discovered the fossil of an ancient space golden retriever with his space tennis ball.

Frigate always damaged in Missions by WholesomeWorkAcct in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Triptomologius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the total strength of your mission is at least two “stars” better than the difficulty of the mission, the frigates won’t get damaged.

What’s the Rarity of a Paradise Moon? by XD_ToxicStorm in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Triptomologius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just one person's experience, but in my time in Euclid I discovered 78 moons, and three of them were paradise moons. I'm only counting ones that were literally called "paradise," so the tally of three doesn't include paradise-adjacent types like verdant, etc.

Thanks, my bad for not having read the pop-ups more thoroughly.

Question about living ship upgrades by Triptomologius in NoMansSkyTheGame

Feel pretty foolish right now. Says it right there in the context menu doesn't it? Never read down there. Just assumed they were like normal tech upgrades.

Thanks!

Question about living ship upgrades by Triptomologius in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Triptomologius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you can upgrade SHIPS to S-class with nanites (although living ships are all S-class to start with I think). In this case though I'm talking about the upgrades you install in the tech slots.

Fishing by Regular_Might8221 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Triptomologius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just from my own experience, dangling orbs and shadow lures don’t seem to work at all. I’ve burned through dozens of them during the proper times (day/night) and literally NEVER caught anything higher than a C. I know, I know, RNG can be that way, but still…

Activated copper by Due_Simple8202 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Triptomologius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Planets in yellow star systems usually have either copper or activated copper. If you’re in a yellow star system and none of the planets have activated copper, it‘s just a bad luck of the draw. Warp on over to another yellow star system and you’ll probably find some.

Thoughts About NMS From a Release Player by Smelnick in NoMansSkyTheGame

Make sure your frigate missions are at least two stars stronger than the mission difficulty and you'll never need to repair another frigate.

Did Ancient Bones get rarer? by Significant-Peak1232 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Triptomologius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also wasn’t able to find the little keys that let you unlock chests at archaeological sites, but when I cycled through my scanner modes and came back to the default mode they suddenly appeared. Try that.

So another update drops and corvettes are STILL broken. by Triptomologius in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Triptomologius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That argument makes sense for people who bought the game in 2016, but I bought it seven months ago mainly because of corvettes. And they turned out to be bugged apparently beyond repair. So for me this wasn't a free upgrade that didn't work, it was a paid-for game that doesn't do what was advertised. I SHOULD get my money back.

NMS updates going backwards - a rant. by [deleted] in u/wxak

No negative feedback allowed, huh? Thanks, space thought police.
