Expedition 4 Emergence 5 weeks

I didn’t read your spoilers, but… I’m sure I’d like them. :laughing:

And rather than clutter up with another post, @sheralmyst you always have such sweet pics to share. And I love seeing dark space, if not black, with SOME nebula. That’s very pretty.

I still haven’t been in that alternate universe yet, but I’m getting that itch…

One more edit. @temp Those critters almost look like something from an awful scene I wrote.

If anyone happens to pass through system Dieshi…( I think that is how it is spelled) I was able to claim the ringed planet in that system. It has lots of water and was were I searched for my Hadal Cores. I am currently working on a base but it is not ready for upload.



Claimed this Freighter on my 3rd jump

Heh… rescued that exact same freighter. They thanked me over coms and invited me aboard, but when I came in to dock I almost ended like a bug on a wiendshield because the bastards wouldn’t lower their hangar shields! :unamused:

Just a thought:
“Across the universe, planets have been blighted by the activity of Titan Worms.”

sandworms …? then Dune, and “sleeper must awaken” ? Titan… ? like Waking Titan ?

Is the Titan awaken now ?

Tha fault of the new trailer, I thought i’ll see Emily with this start :sweat_smile:

Same happened to me. Was stuck with an outside camera view and had to quit to get out of it.

I understand both sides. Some like the “special” feeling that a limited expedition of getting unique rewards. Some buy the game after an expedition and can’t play it. Some don’t have the time to play right now (like me) and can’t play it later.

It’s no-win situation for Hello Games.

I’m unhappy because I’ve had little time to even play, let alone play an expedition.
::worried:

I’m loving No Man’s Sky vicariously through the forum and, maybe later, a video. (Sigh)

I’m wondering why HG didn’t implement temporary ground disturbance where the Titan Worms leave & contact the ground?

With the Terrain Manupulator providing the mechanic for this, I’m curious why HG didn’t include a temporary ‘hole’ (say about 10 units deep) at these points.
It could then close in again a minute or so later, like when we ‘restore’ much like a collapsing loose material tunnel would.
Could’ve added to the realism a little as the ‘ghost’ worms don’t damage the surface & it takes a direct hit from the head to knock you flying. The rest of the body can be passed through uninhibited. I understand this limited body mass is probably necessary due to collision/size issues but the terrain manipulation is already a thing so why not use it? :thinking:

I knocked with the mining laser but nobody heard me.

Gee… if you need Grenades to get in but they don’t provide a way to have them, that’s a little mean. Or is it that you haven’t done that upgrade?

Several weapon types will also work for those doors. I usually use boltcaster or blaze javelin.

The only weapons that don’t work on those doors is mining laser and terrain manipulator. Everything else will destroy it.

That’s the only type of weapon that doesn’t work on it

Running and ramming with the head doesn’t work either :laughing: (even with jetpack).

I generally blow the doors off with my ship weapons. OTT, I know, but it’s a little aerial combat aiming challenge I set myself. Then, when the sentinels get upset, I try to take them out as well.

There’s lots of ways to make this game more amusing.

Didn’t think that I’d need Grenades for the Expedition. So I was concentrating on strengthening my Laser.

I only had the Laser. I should have remembered @Polyphemus’s solution.

I’m impressed with @kerdorin 's attempted technique. Thank you for testing that out. :joy:

I don’t know, but just seeing it from the point of view of a programmer: there are lots of things that can be done, but do they add to the gameplay, are they worth the time invested? You can add sandworms to Tetris and Skyrim etc :slight_smile: , but how would that make the game better? And you have to make all these decisions like “what if a player is standing in that hole or building a base in it, when it closes?” and you’d roll your eyes and you couldn’t be bothered :wink:
And from many voxel-based games I heard that, the more terrain changes, the slower it renders, so I’d avoid adding 1-min decorational holes.

Done. Derelict Freighter took the most time. After dying, decided to stop and buy a lot of upgrades.
