I saw a fix mentioned in one of the experimental patch notes
Meanwhile, I’m still confused by the two flaming Pillars that I can not only summon planetside, but also appear in my freighter bay. I can put them in cold storage and they reappear in the hangar. I can install all necessary tech, but upon reloading, there they are again, on fire and techless.
I had no issue in Steam experimental in claiming my Vintage ship
Forgot to mention including Tips & Tricks and Rendezvous Locations to the top post.
Taking this old girl back with me was maybe the best reward from the expedition. I missed you, my Rasa ![]()
I’m most of the way through the expedition & have quite enjoyed myself despite a couple of bugs.
What I really wanted to comment on, is how classy the artwork is for each of the expedition’s ‘milestone achieved’ pop-ups. I’m yet to have a look through the records & I’m really hoping the new artwork can be looked through again. Are the nice posters the same (but cropped) images or are they unique as well.
ORIA V
I can’t help wonder if it is possible to find the location on Oria 5 where the very first NMS trailer was ‘filmed’ from?
Between all the changes to everything over the past 175200+ NMS sols, I wonder if there is enough left to find?
I did note that there is the shadow directions & a destictive mountain in the distance but with no scan info, finding the spot would be quite an undertaking.
Wouldnt it be cool if SM left a little something hidden in the mouth of that cave, just in case somebody actually ever located it? ![]()
I don’t think it is possible, because of NEXT. If our bases was submerged by terrain, we can imagine what happen to the very first filmed landscape.
The new base deco are the covers for the game versions.
I remember when many people were sharing before & after pics & one thing that seemed to remain constant was mountain shapes. They got bigger, and more tectured but the overall shape stayed much the same.
I do agree that it is unlikely that the original location would be recognisable but I do like to hope that there was enough left that some diligent traveller might eventually locate the area.
I think what you saw in that first trailer had been heavily modified by hand. I don’t think the engine was up to it at that early stage, and some things you see have never actually been implemented (we got flora reacting to environmental conditions only recently, and it still doesn’t interact with creatures, for example).
I think Oria V is just a planet that looks close enough to what we saw in that trailer that they picked it.
The system itself is actually not called ‘Paroi Major’, but ‘Hilodi-Nau’. It has been altered for the expedition. ‘Oria V’ is one of the planets, which name has also been altered. Both can be found in the expedition’s discovery data.
Just reached the end of the expedition.
What a blast that was !
I’m not leaving just yet but I’m sure I’ll remember this one for a long time !
PS : Seems like I need to run some errands to repair my ship
Just started the expedition today, knocked out the first 3 stages and now I’m at Waking Titan. Wow, what an amazing tribute! As a day one player, and one of the lucky 10,ooo Atlas Lvl 4 card recipients, I got a little misty during some of Sean’s commentary.
Fair warning for the 4th rendezvous location: Expedition 23 - Rendezvous IV Portal Bug
I just finished too & I must say, that the final ‘reward’ from the Atlas was not expected ![]()
I did giggle a bit as I hid from a storm, in a cave, on an extremly toxic planet, in a differerent galaxy, pondering my life’s choices. Was even funnier when my backup ship arrived…empty of launch fuel.
I should have known better. I mean, I’ve been yeeted by the Atlas before.
Very… Funny… Sean…
It was such a mess, I grabbed the address then went in on my PC where I had to repeat the process. But I grabbed a ship I rarely use then was able to call in my regular ship. I have tons of supplies in my main PC save so I was able to deal with the situation.
Due to the ending of this expedition, I highly recommend starting a new game for it.
However, you will not be able to carry the Rasa thru if you start a new game… So maybe it is worth running it with a main save… Just be well supplied.
For the reason of the Rasa, I may repeat this exp with my experimental save…
I’d just finished S modding EVERYTHING! ![]()
I had scrapped the the basic Rasa & a couple of wrecks & gone to town on my multitool, custom starship & suit, thinking I’d possibly keep this save. My Corvette is just a box, purely designed for the expected space-junk mission that didn’t come and the reward ships were archived. I utterly nerfed myself ![]()
Next thing I know I’m running for my life on an extreme planet ![]()

I’ve renamed it Hilbert Cast Away & will come back to it with a plan a bit later on. I’ll probably delete it anyway as I’m thinking of running this expedition again. It was good fun.
Im going to run it again, get to the bit with the atlas pass v4 and then proceed no further, wait the six weeks, transfer save to PC, meet myself in game on console and trade the atlas pass v4.
Hopefully its not like thamium 9 and its a renamed resource that turns back into a pumpkin when the magic of the expedition fades.
I was so sad when the thamium I smuggled back to main save reality was no longer thamium.
