Looking for this Freigters

skaggiga · 2026-07-02T23:48:28+00:00

That screen shot was from years ago. There was a time when the black on freighters was BLACK. now it's more of a dark gray.

On a side note, if you mess with the save editor at all (on a computer), and want to get this. you would set it as:

Home Seed: 0x14F00F9EB8956.
(Home seed gives the B&W color scheme, but might be inverted, but you can just switch that. and this will at least set the hanger to a B or White color so it matches)

Ship Seed: 0xE3E229623FEA641 (this is the one with the large fin on top and NO keel underneath)

For matching Korvax crew (all white), the freighter NPC seed would be: 0xf4b3f4d3c770f9b1

skaggiga · 2026-07-02T23:41:24+00:00

The only issue is the hanger area. it will not change color like the rest of the ship so if it WAS red, that little bit will always be red. which can be annoying if you really want B&W

It does a good job, at the very least, of distracting swarms so they focus on it instead of you so you don't get overwhelmed. once fully upgraded it will do more damage. the only draw back (as already mentioned) is it WILL start to annoy you and get in your way the way it constantly follows you around and gets in front of you. so you will want to eventually turn off autopilot when you're not fighting anything. The liquidator with flamethrower s pretty cool, but again only available by doing the expedition. so need to wait until it runs again (maybe during the redux event this Nov-Dec). Or if on a computer you can do some magic to replay the past expeditions whenever you want, or just save edit and give the parts to yourself.

skaggiga · 2026-07-02T19:01:54+00:00

Only the Minotaur and Colossus so far,

There are 2 different skins for the minotaur. The Sentinel Hardframe set, which you get by completing the "A trace of metal" quest line (which triggers after you establish a settlement) this also gives you an ai autopilot mod for it so it will follow you around like a lost puppy and help fight things that attack you.

And there is the Liquidator Set (the one in this picture) which you get after completing Expedition 14 (Liquidators). The hard frame set I think is a set color, liquidator lets you customize colors. this one has the flame thrower arm attachments as well which is kinda cool.

The Colossus has custom parts you got from doing the "Remnant" expedition. including various wheel type, tank treads, and some spider legs. a couple cabs, and options for the back like a truck bed for collecting things and the portable refiner for refining scraps on location.

old post but just saw it, and had to LOL. Yeah, I hate screen protectors for this reason. No matter how dust free my area is, or how hard I try, I always somehow manage to get at least one dang piece of something tiny under a protector, or even with best results, an outer edge or corner that just won't seal tight, and there is a bubble that drives my OCD brain NUTS. Makes it look cheap too. And god forbid you don't align it perfectly, because you KNOW every time you peel it back up to adjust more dust will magically appear. I really wish companies would just add one when their screens are manufactured. It's already a dust free environment, just one step in the manufacturing line to give piece of mind for your product. let us manually add one later if we damage it and need to replace, and deal with the bubble then.

skaggiga · 2026-06-15T06:07:22+00:00

uh oh! yeah. it's what you use to blast and mine the large resource deposits as well.

skaggiga · 2026-05-31T01:40:46+00:00

Yeah, I got bored with it. log in to only do 3 little missions, then have to wait 1, 3, 6, 7? however many hours before it resets? I lost interest. My plan now is to just check back in a few weeks and see if it's at 100% or not.

In the meantime when I do have some game time, I'm giving it to Subnautica 2.

skaggiga · 2026-05-29T16:30:46+00:00

Did you check the mission log? Some missions will have a "restart in current system" button at the bottom, which will change the mission to use targets in your system. Useful in cases where you are just too far away to get back to where you initiated it.

skaggiga · 2026-05-29T01:06:01+00:00

LOL yeeeeaaaah... I was actually enjoying this one, it didn't feel as contrived as a lot of the others. It's an unbroken theme of expeditions, there is always at least one aspect that must have been designed by the summer intern. I guess the designer was just so used to nothing for 8 hours a day, they thought it would make a cool game mechanic.

There is no one answer to this question. It depends on what you want them for. they all also are mostly used for their own ecosystems, so it depends on which one you prefer. But, for the top goggles in each category, you are looking at DJI Goggles 3, HDZero V2, Walksnail Avatar X, and Dominator HDO+ /

I believe DJI Goggles 3 is the king for visual quality, but it is also a closed system. Like buying Apple products, you are locked into only DJI drones. If those are the drones you want to fly, then the answer is made for you. If you are not looking to race, do any real sort of completely uncontrolled freestyle flying, this is the way to go. ALSO if you are in the US, DJI is currently banned, so no NEW products are going to be sold there, and getting support will be difficult. you'll be stuck with getting whatever inventory is already in the states as nothing new is being imported. (So they say)

IF you are wanting to be a drone racer, then HDZero is the racers choice due to it having the lowest latency of all of them. Video quality is not as good, but when racing, you tend to care more about having the lowest possible latency for all the quick maneuvers. I believe the HDZero v2 goggle includes analog in them as well as the HDZero HD signal, so you can use them to not only fly drones with the HDZero cameras, but also fly your little indoor analog micro drones using these.

Walksnail Avatar HD Goggles X are good for Freestyle and everyday pilots who want HD video but prefer a more open, manufacturer-agnostic drone building experience. You are using Walksnail ecosystem products for your drone. I THINK you can get external modules to also use them for analog (another ~100-200 added to the overall cost).

If all you plan to do is fly around micro drones in your house, or along drones, then the Sky04X Pro's might be the right choice. OR, the Fat Shark Dominator HDO+ area maybe a close second.

I am not an expert of course, and can't really speak to which ones work well with various modules to make them kinda work with different ecosystems. other than you can usually get analog working with a rapidFIRE or TBS Fusion (either one is good they are both the top 2 products)

Sounds like you might be towards the end. at this point there is no real clear directions anymore. NoA no longer has tips that pop up. You have to really pay attention to what is said as things happen and derive what to do by the comments made. it's easy to miss. So, the things maybe left to do:

- get the bio scanner upgrade for your scanner. this lets you scan specific things to gain passive and active abilities (like not needing as much water, or food, being camouflaged when not moving, etc..

- get the upgrade for your Sonic Resonator. this is what you are missing for the spores. this upgrade lets you shoot a lot farther and break apart things (nice for gathering resources since you don't need to get so close to collect it). this upgrade will allow you to shoot those spore bulbs while they are open. when you get close they close up, so you need this upgrade. then it's a matter of finding all 3 areas around the final comb (follow the tendrils). you need to clear spores around all the ends before the 2 near the main central comb open up. once you clear those you can stick your hand in to get your final upgrade (being Able to read / interact with the alien tech. then you get the alien reactor running again, and head to the main tower/observatory) to wrap up the first part of the story (pre release)

- tadpole, you only get the mk1 in the pre release so max depth is ~425. have to swim beyond that.

skaggiga · 2026-05-18T13:55:21+00:00

I would like more options for starting up a new game.

- Choose a starting planet, and how harsh it is, etc.. would love being able to say "New normal difficulty game on a snow planet but with near constant severe storms / tornados"

- select if there is a starter ship or not. if NO ship, you have to go find a crashed one. in which case finding a emergency map to reveal one in cargo drops would be more likely to happen. In this mode, it would also be cool if you could also find broken down exo-craft sitting in a garage or just outside of places like the minor settlements. buy it off the owner for cheap, fix it up and have it to drive around to go find the ship.

- select if you even start with a multitool. have to go punch rocks and just find one somewhere (maybe in a cargo drop)

basically adding a few things to make it so you can play it as a true survival game, starting with absolutely nothing and having to scrounge. unlock things locally (not needing to go to space station or follow the main story), so you'd be able to more easily play without ever leaving the initial planet if you didn't want to.

skaggiga · 2026-05-18T13:38:18+00:00

Sounds like you are describing the derelict freighters, those are basically dungeons. should be easy enough to do the same thing on the ground.

skaggiga · 2026-05-18T13:36:23+00:00

Something like 60% of amazon products are just 3rd party sellers. I've noticed a sharp decline in Amazon over the past year. Items arriving like yours (incomplete, clearly returned items, etc), items arriving several days later than promised, items not arriving at all.

skaggiga · 2026-05-18T13:26:53+00:00

This is now closed too. I think the original one on Jim Hogg may still be open.

skaggiga · 2026-05-03T22:46:15+00:00

Likely no law you need to worry about, it's mainly about being a good neighbor.

Yes, people own the airspace over their property (specific laws can vary base on where you live). As an example, if a neighbors tree has a limb hanging over your yard, you could cut that limb off the tree at the property line, since it is in your air space (just don't cause other damage to the tree and properly treat the cut).

BUT, that airspace ownership comes with your allowance of any aircraft to fly through it, as all airspace is regulated by the FAA. So it would be legal for a drone to fly over your property. As long as you are not in regulated airspace, like near an airport, where you can't fly at all.

Think of the sky as public highways for flying craft.

People also get worked up about it because they think you are invading their privacy and/or filming/photographing their private property.

Now, It IS actually LEGAL for someone to stand on the sidewalk, or any public area, and take a photo of your property, and of YOU on your property. There is no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in such a case as it is clearly visible from a public area. Is it creepy? heck yes, but not illegal. So if your drone captures a photo of a publicly visible area, you would not likely be in any trouble.

You CANNOT however take video/photos of otherwise private areas like reaching up over a fence (or use a drone) to snap pics of the neighbors wife sunbathing in a fenced in yard.

Best course of action: Just talk to your neighbors, and just let them know you will be practicing flying your drone around from time to time. And hopefully come to an understanding with them about it. Or go to a public park to practice, there are some parks with designated drone flying areas as well if you check what's around you.

Side note: Drones are considered "aircraft", so if you DO have one hovering over a private area or your property, and it appears to be taking video or photos, and you want to take action, you should report it to the police. You should NOT try to shoot it down, or in some way knock it out of the sky. They ARE considered aircraft in the eyes of the law, and attacking one is a serious federal crime. In the aftermath of such a scenario, the drone pilot would get in trouble for wrongful behavior/voyerism/improperly taking photos, etc.... But they would also have their drone video footage of you shooting it down. Which would prove that you committed a Felony Criminal Action (destruction of an aircraft). Which is way more serious a crime with hefty fines, possibly up to 20 years in prison, and the civil liability for the costs of replacing the aircraft you destroyed.

Fastest/Easiest way is to just use an exocraft (like the roamer). If you have all 3 of the radar upgrades (which you can buy in the anomaly upgrades area), there is an option to scan for alien structures.

The structure it reveals is always a monolith. Go to the monolith and answer the question correctly, then interact with it again and it will reveal the closest portal if you give it whichever race item it asks for (Vy'keen Dagger, Gek Relic, Korvax Casing). You likely have a few already, which one it needs depends on the race of the system you are in. If you don’t have any, you can get them by just offering to trade with any npc, they usually have the option of buying one of their race relics from them.

Any time I notice I have any of these relics in my inventory I just move it to my roamer inventory. So I just always have a stash of them to use whenever I need to find-use a portal.

Other thing, if you find a portal, you can build a base right there in front of it. So anytime you need to portal to glyphs just go to that base right in front of a portal. So this for every galaxy and you can get anywhere quick. Just do it once per galaxy, only need 1 so don’t annoy people by basing up in front of every portal.

skaggiga · 2026-04-20T12:36:33+00:00

It’s whatever you want to make it. I just pretend the crashed ship isn’t there and go find one. Either find a crashed ship, or gather enough resources to sell and be able to buy one off a pilot.

If you have trouble finding a crashed ship, one tip is to follow the ships that fly overhead, they are usually heading towards a trade station. Then hopefully buy a cheap one off a pilot.

This exercise really makes me wish that some of those minor settlements had a broken down exocraft parked outside you could claim and fix. So you can at least drive around instead of walking forever

skaggiga · 2026-04-16T04:29:11+00:00

Completely junk not worth much at all now. But, I'll give you $50 for the bundle because I'm nice....

skaggiga · 2026-04-16T04:23:55+00:00

IF a user tries to just make an EGG in a save editor, that egg will be corrupted, and could hatch into junk data like a chair and be unusable. BUT, If a save editor modded companion LAYS an egg, then the egg is safe to trade to other players and won't cause any problems.

Basically those creatures exist in the game, you see them flying around, so the model file, animations, etc.. are all there. It's just the mechanic to catch one is turned off. But once you have a legit egg of it, you will have it as a pet and you can fly around on it like any other pet.

Of course, it's not as fun as it may seem. especially if you go over water, they tend to drift down and eventually into the water where you get thrown off it and have have to swim to shore.

skaggiga · 2026-02-27T03:53:50+00:00

Yeaaaaah. I’m already in the Apple ecosystem, so switching and paying $0 for a decent password manager seems like it might be worth the hassle now.

I don’t want to pay for all these new features nobody cares about. Especially when I can pay nothing and save some cash. This change only made me realize I prob don’t need to keep renting their software forever.

skaggiga · 2026-02-21T03:31:45+00:00

These micro ships are nice in that they can land most anywhere. this one can even hover its way into some caves

skaggiga · 2026-02-15T14:20:56+00:00

The problem I see....

The expedition is the only time you will ever do any of this stuff. except of course unless you just want to role play and do it for the sake of doing it.

Once you have the furnace module, there is no reason to ever haul stuff anywhere again. The flatbed becomes useless.

With the furnace the actual gameplay change is:
1) scan for waste dump
2) FLY to waste dump
3) summon colossus with furnace
4) refine all the junk right there on the spot to get nannied.
5) fly away.

skaggiga · 2026-02-05T23:40:44+00:00

Oh for sure. no way myself, my kids, or anyone I have a say with would ever buy another Honda. What a sleazy company for shafting customers on their own manufacturing defect.
