tell me about it…

Went through the portal (offline due to crash issues I often have with random joins).
Lots of comms & some of the earth tremors I’d been hearing about from other events I’ve missed.
Shot some drones for supplies then went home to find my ship waving at me from another planet.

It just did not show up on the other side of the portal. I was able to call it though. It is all okay.

I already had whatever it needed! I think I clicked automatically and it said mission complete. Huh? Oh, ok. My cargo backpack does contain about 3 (guesstimate) tons of 48 different substances so I guess it had to happen one day. I assume because I don’t really exist, this makes the stuff lighter. Or maybe I exist, but the galaxy doesn’t? Or both?
Must get back, something is cooking in my backpack and hopefully it will finally be a new ship? Maybe. Hopefully. Either that or another quest for impossible things leading to a 26 hour wait.

I did not bring an egg, nor do I own at this point, a living ship. I’m wondering if that will make any difference to these quests.

anomalous jam takes Hexaberries and Processed Sugar.
Processed Sugar can be cooked using a Nutrient Processor with the following ingredients:
-
Grahberry x1 → 
Processed Sugar x1 ( “Nutrient Refining” , 5 sec./unit output) -
Sweetroot x1 → Processed Sugar x1 ( “Nutrient Refining” , 5 sec./unit output) -
Cactus Nectar x1 → Processed Sugar x1 ( “Nutrient Refining” , 5 sec./unit output)
Edited to give more clear info on the components.

I got lucky and someone gave me the needed items. 
That last one describes how I feel at all weekend events.
I did, however, sit down and watch some stuff happening at the portal.
And this was a very nice design by the Galactic Hub.

I made a compilation of all the “story” bits from the weekly missions in February. Watch it if you missed them or you want to see them all together again for comparision.

I notice there seems to be a growing anti-living ships movement. I came across various statements along the lines of “Living ships are not made by the Korvax - they’re an Abyss creation”.
Even if this were true, I don’t see why this would make living ships a bad thing. All we know so far about Abyss is the name - other than it is “like Atlas, but different”, we have absolutely zero evidence about its nature.
And the Atlas, who wantonly destroys entire civilisations on a whim, can hardly be considered one of the good guys.
Have the data miners found something we don’t know? Are Hello Games drip feeding us more clues? Or is it just idle speculation?

I also noticed that hardly anyone is using their living ship. The only negative trait mine has is no teleport range for goods and summoning.
It is interesting, and I still refer back to the story line. Something must be going on.
Whatever it is, I am staying in my living ship because I want to be ‘all in’ when it goes down.

They’re time-consuming to get and to upgrade. I suspect we’ll be seeing more of them as time goes on, but it’s not unexpected that people would still be using their decked out ships a lot.

I had a queasy feeling about the Living Ships, following the special weaponry used to slaughter creatures & take their essence, the multiple traveller’s souls used in liveship re-creation & also the fact mordite is one of the fuels. It all felt a bit sinister in a Frankenstein/mad Korvax scientist sort of way. 
Plus, there’s the fact they’ve ‘returned’ to the NMS universe at precisely the same time some other rather unpleasant anomalous entities have.
It feels like a rift has occurred in the once happy NMS universe and what is spilling through is not entirely wholesome.
Perhaps the reasons behind why the Atlas does its periodic, destructive resets are more justified than we realised. 
I’d have to trawl through all the lore again but maybe those ‘Abyss’, ‘World of Glass’ & ‘Boundary Failure’ references & text hold more clues now we’ve met some of what was beyond the ‘boundary’.
Spooky

You very well captured many of my concerns story-wise about the Living Ships. It seems as if we needed to do a number of sinister things to bring these things back, and at the same time we are seeing an encroaching infestation of horrors that also seems to prey upon travelers.
At the very least, I am enjoying the intrigue.
