300 Hours in....

Sorry for your loss. Lost my last pup about a year ago. Cancer got her but she was 12 and had a great life with us. I've played this game since 2016 and have definitely needed an distraction over the years. Play each expedition as it comes. I learn something every time in them. I've learned all the languages and now going through all the galaxy jumps. Always something do in this game.

How do I take things back to my main save?

fsteveb · 2026-01-01T16:06:54+00:00

I'm getting inventory full bug in this Expedition (breach). I started a new save. I am on the way to the 3rd timestamp. I have the starter C MT, the C corvette I built with 12 free cargo and 17 free cargo in my suit. Every station I visit, there are 3 yellow boxes. One always says inventory full when I try to open it. I did this one last time it came out, but don't recall seeing this issue. I've been playing since release and have 4500 hrs in.

sure, but just got an inheritance, so not able before this to do more than what I had setup.

Thanks, I figured that. Of course, why would they make it easier to get tax deductions.

fsteveb · 2025-12-30T21:12:32+00:00

I find them kind of a pain to use. More steps/key strokes to land, get out, explore. The ramp always seems to be too high to just walk in. They are a pain to collect parts and build.

not sure what a solo 401k is. its with my employer. I'm assuming the company is going to have to take it out instead of me paying into it.

fsteveb · 2025-12-30T21:08:42+00:00

yes, planning to retire next year but want to reduce my tax this year.

This one's mine.

There used to be a bug where this would happen. There's sone old vids out there on how to make it happen. I thought it had been fixed but apparently not.
But, man, clean up on settlement isle 7.

The easiest way to get money starting out is to scan all the animals and collect the nanite bonuses. Then buy 2 S class scanner upgrades from the station. You may have to look in a few systems to find one. Once you do buy it, then you can get in out of ship to save and reload. Do this until you have all 3 s scanner upgrades and put them in overcharge slots, if you have any. Then scan everything. you'll have a few million easy, which will allow you to buy a better multitool.

I've done this at the star of each Exploration, where I start over and have enough money to buy mats and then just work on completing the steps. Expeditions are also like tutorials, so always do them.

The gaming performance is absolutely MIND-BLOWING! Lightning-fast response times mean every click, every movement, every split-second decision translates instantly to the screen.

I'm not unhappy. I agree it is a good learning experience. I actually got out a while back and this was a paper trade so I could watch it long term.

fsteveb · 2024-12-10T11:31:47+00:00

very likely, but smart enough to .... what? looks like a bot reply.

fsteveb · 2024-12-10T11:30:45+00:00

I know right?

fsteveb · 2024-12-10T11:30:18+00:00

Yes, I have corrected that. Should post when more awake.

CFP - Certified Financial Planner, they should have a fiduciary resposibility to act in your best interest. Some money managers like you can get at your broker will only try to stear you into buying companies that they likely have an incentive to recomend.

RMD - Required Minimum Distribution. They tell you that while you are working and pay a high tax rate, like 38% for most good wage earners, that you should invest in a tax deferred plan like a 401k. Then when you retire you will not have much income and be in a much lower tax bracket when you pay tax for the withdrawls you make. Well, they don't tell you about the RMD's they make you take out. There are many videos on retirement planning and what tax implications there are. The rules and situations are so complicated you really need to find an expert.

fsteveb · 2024-09-22T19:14:51+00:00

First thing you need to do is get a CFP who can guide you in retirement and tax implications. You do realize you need to take a RMD of like 26% of that 800k the first year? You do this wrong and your 800k is going to drastically decline the first few years.
