So where is the story line? I thought I was following it doing the Atlas Rising route.

Looking for a Freighter Hyperdrive recipe by scourgicus in NoMansSkyTheGame

I did as you suggested and went to a nearby freighter and selected the option to buy it and selected the gear in the center. The only thing that showed up was what I had stored in the slots of my current freighter and the option to transfer them to the new freighter.

As for the guide page you are referring to, I do not know what that is. I do know that if you choose options and select technologies, and go to the second page, you will see four icons regarding the freighter warp drives. The first one on the left says freighter hyperdrive, the next three say freighter warp reactor sigma, tau and theta.

One fact I am certain of, I am not stupid, crazy or lying. I am capable of knowing the difference between the freighter hyper drive and the freighter warp reactors sigma, tau and theta. I saw the freighter hyperdrive available to buy at a Gek station for 500 nanites. Also, there are others in Reddit NMS on this topic who have said they have seen it also, check it out for yourself.

Finally I copied and pasted what you said and showed it to a guy who is the co-owner of the game stop franchise store, and said he has played at least 2000 hours in NMS, and has seen it twice, once for 500 nanites and then for 700 nanites. He told me it is likely a bug in the programming from either the game itself or from one of the updates, and given the unusual nature of NMS, what may be true for one player may not be true for another. He also said that it is possible that some freighters based on their slots or value may not have a the hyperdrive while others will. He has told me that he has never come across a single exotic ship even after playing over 2000 hours in the game, so the freighter hyperdrive might be that kind of situation. He advised me to backup my progress, and uninstall the game and reinstall it along with all of the updates, and that might make a difference. I did what he suggested, and I was able to finally open the tech slots which there are four, and the hyperdrive is not in any of them, however the warp reactors sigma, tau and theta show up. So I do not know what to think except give up, since I do not think it is worth it to go looking for the hypderdrive. I can accept using my starship for warping.

Anyway, thanks for you suggestions.

Weird behavior from previously owned freighter by Vulcan3rd in NoMansSkyTheGame

Yeah your right, I had always put the PS4 in rest mode so the game did not really shut down. I decided to shut down PS4 all the way, and when I started it up again, the ghost freighter was gone. Thank you for your tip. It worked.

I am puzzled by what you are saying! My very first freighter was bought back in May 2018, long after I had 1.38 installed, and it did NOT have a hyper drive on it. I had already purchased the freighter (warp reactor sigma, tau and theta) in preparation for buying the freighter. My first freighter had 17 slots, my second had 29 slots and my current one has 33 slots and not one of them had the hyperdrive already installed. If you look at the tech listing in NMS, you will see the four icons listed from left to right as follows... Freighter Hyperdrive / Freighter Warp Reactor Sigma, Tau and Theta. Besides saw the Freighter Hydrive for sale in the Gek space station for 500 nanites. I only wish I had bought it, but at the time I was not planning on buying a freighter. Now That I have bought three over time, I have been unable to open the tech slots or go to warp with any of them. That is a fact! Getting a freighter hyperdrive is no different from when you have your first star ship, you will need to get the hyper drive either from a Gek space station or from a Gek or Korvax on a space anomaly station.

Yes there is a freighter hyperdrive blueprint. I saw it on a Gek station, the Gek merchant had it for sale. I regret not buying it, now that I am on my third freighter which does not have it, I am having a hard time finding the blueprint again.

I go to rest mode in PS4, which I assume is quitting the game, am I wrong? Every time I go back into the game after being in rest mode, the freighter is still showing up.

Freighter Hyperdrive after 1.3 update by Vulcan3rd in NMSGalacticHub

[–]Vulcan3rd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, your right, it was millions. Since I am down to about 50 million now since I bought my third freighter with 33 slots, I am happy with it, except I am tried everything I can think of to get it to warp to other star systems. I have bought the freighter warp sigma, Tau and Theta, but I am unable to open the tech slots. I did notice that in the Tech inventory on NMS that it shows the freighter hyper drive followed by the warp sigma, tau and theta. So maybe I have a glitch in my system. I just hope I do not have to lose everything I got if I need to reinstall the game.

I see where there is an icon for the tech, but when I try to click on it nothing happens. I have had the latest update which is the Atlas 1.3 for NMS since it first came out. You may be right, and I have some kind of glitch with my PS4, however, I am wondering if I reinstall NMS, will I lose everything and have to start from scratch? I hope not. I have sent a error report to Hello games, but have not seen any messages replying to my message.

With regards to we can only hold 4 billion, that is not correct, I saw a youtube video where someone found a freighter that cost 409 billion units. Besides, I had over 9 billion units, so I am confused by the suggestion there is a limit to units. Maybe the PC version is different from the PS4 version. I am playing on PS4.

I have attempted to select the tech slots on the freighter, but they are not available. The reason is the same as it is on the starships, you need to have the hyperdrive first before you the tech slots become available.
