Oh god this will be good . I've lost countless resources this way. Looks like a dupe glitch is back too . I'm actually going to use it to dupe modules to pimp my starship fleet .

dam did you not even do frigate missions? i can''t even go under 250 million b/c i got the missions running as much as possible
If you can't collect hourly like me just add storage. I collect once per day only so having storage is most important
Update - you may want to avoid multiplayer nexus for the next while if you don't want free items messing up your progress.(ppl who don't want help)... it's like Xmas in there with the dupe glitch in full swing. Expect to receive multiple stacks of stuff per minute and they're not doing it out of kindness lol

Lots of people don't want to make the game trivial or easy or use exploits to get ahead. Goes for any game really . So if you're one of those people and you go into nexus and get 3 stacks of activated indium in 5 minutes that could be a big deal for some. I was giving away full stacks of platinum all night while duping starship modules only . I wanted to equip my whole fleet for travel but I also didn't want to dupe everything I earned either. However I will say if I had freighter salvage on me I would have duped that shit to hell and back.
Oh god yes, I found one in the opening hours of the game and no more in 150 hours... I feel I may need to do some guilt free duping if its still possible. They're rare as rocking horse shit :P
Gotcha makes sense. I've dumped quite a bit of hours into NMS at this point but I still haven't used my fleet much at all because the first couple of times having to crawl over the thing to repair it was too tedious for me. I wouldn't mind doing some things to make that less likely. Duping is only in the Nexus I take it?
Someone mentioned earlier in the thread (though I forget who, apologies) that frigates won't become damaged if you have a combat strength higher than 40. I've not had anything come back damaged after trying that, though I have only done a handful of missions.
Duping is on the nexus Exit ship to force save > transfer what you want duped from ship to suit > Transfer something you don't want from suit to random player > reload save... You'll end up with a copy of what you want duped in your ship and suit, combine back to ship and then repeat.. There are some clearer guides out there though just in case.
After my previous post I have partaken, though only for a handful the freighter modules, at one per 150 hours (and I've done quite a bit of freighter salvaging) I have no qualms about "cheating" this time :D
I'm of the the same mind set. Half the fun in the game is resource management so I don't mind putting in the work with farming etc but I've yet to find a single module and I imagine I'll want to do the same thing when I finally come across one lol
Yeah I've not really "cheated" any aspect of the game, but the drop rates for the modules are just terrible, even post change you'd sill be looking at hundreds of hours for the... is it 20 something you need in total now? I have a few stacks to give out if and when people need after my fun in the nexus :D
What platform you on? I may hit you up at some point. I haven't actually used the Nexus once in all my 60hrs or so lol
PS4, let me know whenever you're free and I can chuck you a stack, same goes for you joecanada.
I'm so glad I held onto the one I got in the first 1/2 dozen hours despite slots being at a premium. :)
Im on pc unfortunately but i feel fortunate now i actually have found 5 in 100 hrs. All on frigate midsions
Fastest way to get frigate modules is to attack the cargo pods on random freighters. There's around 2 per ship.
Oh dammit, really? I never tried that, mind you I've never deliberately attacked a freighter ever, and certainly not even accidentally since before NEXT I think. Oh well. :)
Oh wait is this also true of sentinel ships because that may be how I got five
I tried shooting up a sentinel ship but I didn't get anything. You may have received them from frigate expeditions or nexus missions. I've read that you can get them from crashed/sunken freighter pods, but I have never received any from those.
Huh so just attack any frigate in the system and run away ? Will try this
Yes. However, you will lose standing with the system's race for every ship you attack though. So I only attacked ships with a lot of cargo pods like this:
Each pod has random loot, including salvaged frigate data. Afterwards you may have to destroy a few sentinel ships before you can warp away.
Pfft I'll destroy them too I have a fighter with 6 shields ready to roll.
Thanks for the tips
Update - got my one frigate salvage now I'll be duping it to like 50. Not taking any chances lol

The game just gets boring pretty quickly, even with all of the updates. I only played 15 hours or so after Beyond went live.
Well I'm still playing.... Not much need to come back here and talk about it tho. Wouldn't read too much into it....
I checked out the PSVR patch 1 but haven't been back since the first improvement to the image quality. Have they got it to look any better since that first patch? Any news on better pro support?
I just picked this up again; I waited for all the bugs from the Beyond release to settle down. I've got 200+ hours in to NMS and still enjoy picking the game up time and again. It's a very chill and meditative experience. The Beyond update has plenty of new stuff to do, I'm working may way through some industrial mining setups and just got started on cooking. It's fun! I'll get bored of it before too long, like I always have before. Beyond is impressive but I'm beginning to think it's time for Hello to move on to a new game engine, something not so wedded to this particular type of inventory and economy, and something with a different set of generative world algorithms.
The odd thing to me in Beyond is how aggressively multiplayer it is. The Space Anomaly stuff with its default to group quests is really, really strikingly different than the lonely experience of the original game. I actually worked my butt off to warp to the Galactic Hub back in the days when that was really difficult, just to have some sort of very limited social experience in the game. I'm not sure if this new stuff is fun or not, but it's definitely social!

Still hoping they add actual room scale or even 360 degree support to PCVR. Not holding my breath though. I can live without it and still enjoy playing, but it would be SO much better with it which kind of makes me not want to play as much right now.
I think once people get to grips with the new content there are fewer reasons to come here and ask questions about how x and y work (which TBH makes up a goodly part of the usual back and forth), people just content themselves with whatever goal they have at that time and it doesn't really necessitate much interaction.
I'd also posit that though the game has added more and more social aspects there are still a lot of players who still play it as that original solitary experience.
I've put an equal amount of time into BEYOND as prior updates (perhaps a little too much) and are still as happy to dip in, like afrodubs says though I've not really anything exciting to talk about here. That and other games are abound, tried a little more Destiny 2, Outer Worlds out soon... I've also persuaded my wife to binge watch Babylon 5 for the first time so not as many hours free to play :P
[edit] Though I do really want to try PSVR again, not touched it since day 1, and I was more excited to get my fresh save started than getting to grips with VR.
[edit 2] Its kind of the same for the Discord and Xbox Club we setup back during NEXT(?), Its not the kind of game that particularly thrives nor requires a constant buzz so after a few weeks of post launch excitement people just settle back to doing what they want and don't really need much conversation, at least in my experience.

2.15 downloading, almost 5GB
So for a few weeks now I can't get my controller to work right (steam). I tried with the generic Xbox one controller (pdp brand) that I've been using for over a year, I tried my steam controller, and I even paired up another controller, but nothing is working right. Even loading up community profiles results on nothing. A button consistently opens chat lol. Most other buttons do nothing.
Help?
Help?
Yes also this. It's the only reason I stopped playing VR and ps4.
Patch landed today fixed the controller bullshit. Community mission kept breaking as I went to turn it in multiple times. This was the straw that broke the camel's back and I finally downloaded a save editor. Got enough QS to not ever have to be pissed if a mission breaks again in the future.
I just did the first "weekend mission", the special community mission. It was... fine? It also seemed like an awfully hamhanded way to keep people interested with scripted content. Between that and the heavy emphasis on multiplayer interaction I'm left a little confused with the direction NMS has taken in 2.0. It's all OK but nothing great and seems like a far remove from the unique things about NMS. Those are still present though, so far enough.
I've enjoyed building up some industrial resource collection operations. I finally figured out that while you can't run short range teleporters very far you can pipe the collected materials a long way, particularly with a depot or two on the path to help bridge them. So now I can just go to one spot where my electrical, mineral, and gas collection all gets funneled into a simple-to-collect place.

Hopefully some of those QoL updates are improvements to the VR implementation that people have been asking for.
100% on all platforms. Now my dilemma of rocking my years-long Gek self or to switch over to Ares the see-through brain synapse dream.
Unfortunate Ares doesn't have as much customization as the other 2 added races. I think that's what's holding me back the most - don't want to be homogeneous with all the others.

This patch seems so great. There are a lot of improvements.
Bulk uploading of discoveries!!
Functional improvements to the base building snapping system!
Also, I'm looking forward to this one:

I will be getting so many nanites now. Because it was too tedious I stopped uploading my discoveries...

Incredible. This means my beautiful C class Hauler will stop handling like the titanic.
Holy shit. No more sliding puzzle!
So when they say they improved the space map what they mean is they improved the cockpit radar. It basically looks like the cockpit radar in Elite now.
The discovery screen is improved -- what I really want though is the ability to put a waypoint on any planet in a system from anywhere in a system so I don't have to turn towards a planet to find it, or potentially fly around another planet to see if the planet I'm looking for is hiding behind it.
