Uncharted blue or green is best 🙂

And warp into the sytem with your living ship. I have a feeling that if you use a regular ship then switch when in the system, there maybe a bug. i don’t seem to find eggs if i do that but I need to get confirmation that it isn’t just me.

Thanks for the “warp in” suggestion. My main normal mode base is in an uncharted green system, but I would have used my base portal to get there. Either way I will have the living ship as my primary (since its the one thing I need to complete.) Can the living ships warp to colored stars?

Perhaps I should test teleporting and lifting off in an uncharted system with the living ship?

Can you warp to green and blue systems without upgrades, though?

Yes. Living ships have access to all star types without enhancement.

You can’t (so far) buy living ship upgrades. You have to go hunting for them.

But you _can_ trade in any unwanted or spare ones for nanites.

Can you pass these extra upgrades to other players? I tried and it didn’t let me select any recipients.

Fun fact of the day: In VR, your seat inside the living ship looks like a tongue. 😝

Did the Uncharted System Pulse & Reload thing, (as described previously) & managed to get a heathy mixed bag of space egg modules for my permadeath save.  
Each was just 10 seconds of pulse to find. 👍

Main point I noted was: Immediately after acquiring said egg, call in your freighter & establish a restore point to reload from.  
Once you disturb the ‘good luck’, it may take several tries to get the sweetspot in the pattern again.

Mrs Mad-Hatter has fired up her long abandoned Legacy Save, (nothing since BEYOND 😲), All the bases are unpowered & dead. 😆  
But she wants a Living Ship of her own, (don’t we all), so it’s off on a co-ordinate hunting adventure she goes. First planet was a storm ridden, hostile sentinel world 😁.  
This is going to be fun to watch 😏

My first planet is an extreme low pressure environment with ok sentinels but lots of aggressive fauna. I’m back to my home planet to finally finish the exocraft missions. I hope this will make it easier.  
When I was flying to the coordinates and the storm kicked in I was not able to see which part was up or down. So I crashed into the scenery a lot.  
Worse, now I remember I forgot to put a beacon.

How many times have we all thought that?

You spend three days travelling 17 systems to gather rare ingredients - and then you realise you can’t find your way back to do the job you wanted them for! 😀

I wrote a suggestion to HG a long while ago for a travel log that just tracks in which star systems and on which planets we’ve been.  
Optimally with links to Discoveries and screenshots. Optimally searchable and sortable (by last-visited or discovered date and type resource etc.)  
I can survive a black hole and carry more materials in my pocket than a hauler, but I can’t log where I’ve been? 🤔

Satisfied with my storage augmentation harvesting, I finally got back to finishing the living ship quest and started hunting for a ship. I really want some specific features to make it fit in nicely with the rest of my fleet. So, I’ve been hatching the egg, flying to its location, and reloading the pre-hatch save if it’s not what I’m looking for. Well after a dozen or so times, this happened:

 ![20200227043209_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/1/5/15a3df458d1c715d1680386de6b1e1eba1b2c7c9.jpeg)

Additional reloads just kept spawning normal crashed ships that apparently the game thought were alive. 🤪 In hindsight I should have selected “begin biogenesis” just to see what happens! It took a quit to desktop & re-run to fix.

I was able to get 4 living ship upgrades in an hour of pulse jetting around my uncharted system with teleportation into a base and no reloading.

I also had 1 broken freighter, 2 gek first spawn relics, and a hyperspace station.

I upgraded living ship (3x s rank upgrades per tech type) and Compared to my “over” upgraded fighter ( 6x s rank nanite purchased upgrades and all buildable upgrade) in the pics below.

Hopefully I can find more upgrades for the livingship to completely max it out.

Has anyone found a way to upgrade things like transfer distance? Even as this distance I cannot transfer anything between myself and my ship.

About done mines fully, apart from adding 3 launch modules. Cool ships but not particularly good at anything right now. Wont keep me out of my exotics or fighter for too long.

I’ve been enjoying myself, pulsing around new systems, collecting upgrades, making new discoveries, and seeing the new sights. It’s an amusing pursuit in its own right.

Of course, eventually it begins to pale. After a few days, almost everything you find is a repeat of stuff you’ve found before. And I thought that was a bit sad.

Then I thought “Hold on - a few days? That’s more than some whole games have given me”. And it is. This almost throwaway free upgrade has held my interest and kept me entertained more than some complete premium games did.

Nice one, HG.
