Do we all get the same starter system? The one I was in had a hot planet, with activated indium and storm crystals.
I didn’t move on until I’d converted 10,000 chromatic metal, and sold 20 million worth of crystals. Coupled with the Vector, I should be OK for resources.
I started on an ice world too. Dummy me forgot that i can claim the golden vector would have saved me a ton of time but I liked having the slight struggle of having no space in my ship so I decided after a few hours to just stick with the ugly ship I got.
For resources, I only gathered enough to last a few minutes and went strait to gathering a few nanites to buy two scanner upgrades to get credits from scans. Made about 2 million per planet visited. Purchased everything I needed from there.
Went on a quicksilver mission for Quad Servos. I only got three before I had to eliminate the big guy - which shut down all the sentinels. Wasn’t sure how to proceed. Finally got the additional Quad Servos from Storage in order to complete the mission.
