Welcome to the forum @Father!
And good questions @AdaRynin . I did not reset but manually deleted every little thing…and I wonder if there are old or new parts if you get a new Freighter @unique
So far, in 3xperimental, there is a strange bright flash that sometimes happens while moving around on my Freighter and for some reason, newly applied colors were not staying on. It was like one of my crew members was sneaking around and repainting the original red/white. After reapplying the color a couple of times, things seem to be staying now. Maybe it was that suspicious looking Gek that was in the tech room when I deleted it.
This is cool
That’s one of the reasons for starting again, as my old freighter was a mess and looking forward to getting a brand new randomly decorated one.
But it looks like I’ll be visiting a black hole beforehand though.
I encountered a fun upgraded anomoly today.
It was the familiar half freighter wreckage floating in space but this one was surrounded by boiling clouds & lightning.
When I backed up away from it a bit to try & get a pic of it was very cool & spooky looking. (Unfortunately the NMS camera looses the detail for storm images).
Had a real Event Horizon eeriness to it.
Has anyone triggered the new quest line? I have been so busy building, I am just now flying around.
Ok. I found a vid. Send your living frigate on a mission and you will get a Dream Aerial to install. This allows you to add more living frigates. If you did not complete the Leviathan expedition, you will still eventually get the Dream Aerial.
The Kyle Culver cinematic videos are all excellent.
The immersion I feel when in No Man’s Sky keeps getting better.
I lust for a new PC with a high end graphics card so that I can now fully appreciate the universe’s environment. My poor old GTX 960 4GB card suffices, but can’t handle enhanced settings well.
A little tip: if you love the new freighter piece colors and would like to have them on furniture, highlight a freighter piece and choose the color you want, then without leaving the build menu, choose and place a piece of furniture. If it is colorable, it will take on the new freighter coloring that you chose for the freighter piece. Hope that makes sense.
This works the other way around as well. Place another object, select a colour the rooms/corridors would normally not have, place it, then without leaving menu, place a freighter room/corridor.
This works with many objects, although not all,
HUD in space has gotten a little bit better. Sometimes it shows my freighter but not the space station.
Icons while in space are still finicky. When trying to align with them, they disappear.
Strange icons
On the ground, my starship icon doesn’t show. Embarrassing during the daily mission when I’m fighting sentinels, it’s dark, and I don’t know where I left my ship.
Those icons are pointing to asteroid resources.
Here is the new freighter window in the old freighter walls.
Also works in the middle of a room as a passthrough or appliance cubby
I have nine starships. Only my current ship and five others are present on my freighter at a time.
Correct. But you should be able to call the others in while in your hangar
Didn’t our freighter parts use to include a staircase or ramp? I am watching a streamer who is glitch angling catwalks to build ramps…? How do we get to another floor?
we have a ladder that can only be placed in a hallway
Ladders in hallways are currently the only way to build multiple floors. I really hate post-Next ladders though. Crazy hostile alien entities that violently grab you from across the room and glue you down onto their bodies, completely disoriented… you struggle to move, inching ever so slowly to break free from their dastardly grasp, and just as you finally manage to stagger free they snag you once again!
I really miss ramps. The new freighter parts are taller now, so unfortunately the old ramps just wouldn’t fit. They’d probably look silly at the new steeper angle too. Seems like a staircase hallway would be a reasonable alternative though. I hate the ladders so much that I spent this afternoon replacing all of mine with short-range teleporters. It’s a little jarring, but at least I can move around quickly again (and without constantly swearing at my screen every time the ladder monsters snatch me).
According to the release notes, that’s supposed to be expandable with bulkheads like the other freighter slots. Is it not working?
I have some Cargo Bulkheads but the first option of the Upgrade Control is greyed out.
The new freighter Scanner Room is nice.
But I like scanning planets… That’s why I didn’t install it. (For my first frigate module, I restored the exocraft teleporter.)
Does it actually depict the right number of planets and moons, or did they reuse the same star map as the one in one of the locked buildings?
They reused it so the pretty middle image is not an accurate representation of the system. When activated, it brings up the third image.
