I just accepted it as a fact of life for flying a giant ship. I think the root of my problem was that I was jumping out before I had the ship in the atmosphere. If you get in the atmosphere it places a teleport link under where it is hovering.

Yet another adventure in idiocyâŚ
Random guy wants to group. I figure maybe he is a hitchhiker, so I say yes. Turns out random guy understands Spanish, not English, and since he is on PS he doesnât speak at all. Iâm trying to tell him I already did the ride and invite him into my ship, but he runs into his. I figure heâll give me a ride even though I donât need it, then weâll do his.
Dude lands me four hours from my ship, which is when I figure out my launch thrusters need fuel. Communication is a complete bust, and Iâm torn between hiking four hours or building another emergency base teleporterâŚwhich will require mining copperâŚplanning ahead is soooooo overrated.
Meanwhile, messages in Spanish are trying to tell meâŚmy new amigo is in some massive battle with sentinels. I figure he brought me here for a reason, like he needs help, so off I go to join the fightâŚbut hey, itâs an unguarded sentinel pillar, I can just shut them off. Apparently that was the plan.
SoâŚback to trying to say âI need a ride to my ship.â I run thirty units or so towards it, then lob a nav marker in that direction. Seems like a good messageâŚhe seems to be nodding and jumping up and downâŚI follow him into his shipâŚand we fly straight over my ship, accelerating all the way.
Today I learned that if you are riding with someone and they dock at a derelict freighter, your ship docks there too, even if it has no thruster fuel.
Life is good.

Possibly the only book I would recommend higher than mine. Hunter IMO the funniest writer of all time.

OMG! Iâm finally out of the starter system. Starter system had aggressive sentinels on every planet or extreme weather conditions.

In the final rendezvous system, thereâs a planet called Sosindson. Thereâs a sentinel pillar there, and I bult a little base right next to it. If you go there, and find the base, you can turn off the sentinels for the whole planet. The base is called âGoodbye Sentinelsâ.
I canât help you with the rest of the expedition, but I can guarantee you one sentinel-free planet.

It might be better to wait for the redux of this one!

It seems to be working well enough. I just started another new game so I could help my daughter in the expedition.
I took off from the space station to help her get the milestone and after about 10 seconds, she fell out of the ship and into space. She was able to call her emergency pickup in. We tried again and it worked the second time.
One big caution; when we did the skydive, I got attacked by sentinels and my ship was stuck in space. Canât call it in combat. And hiding was not cancelling the alert.
I had no such issue when I did this alone. But I called my ship the moment I touched the ground

I accidentaly picked up a gravitino ball while collecting other stuff. That immediately set the sentinels swarming, and nothing would persuade them to give up. In the end, I had to warp out of the system and come back.

I decided to start a new game, and run through the expedition again, now there are some patches in place. I think there are some tricks I didnât understand the first time round.

Mad-Hatter: How ⌠so ⌠blue? 
Thanks, that was very helpful, I went there as well. It made my corvette stand on one eerily long leg to park, that was funny.

Itâs the blue with a touch of yellow colour in the choices with the metalic finish. (I think)
Also, the blue lights & metalic red make it âpopâ a bit more. Pity the design is so boxy⌠Iâm working on collecting better bits.
