Spent most of the weekend playing #NoMansSky attempting to go through this new “expedition” and get that sweet looking space-ship.

Only got about half-way though. Spent far too long trying to build a mech-suit to go collecting storm-crystals, but it was all a waste and I ended up just flying the ship around looking for 'em and jumping out to weather the storm for the few seconds it takes to collect 'em.

Which means I still ain’t done the worm-monster-murdering or the fishing-trip.

Think it has to be done by the end of next weekend if I’m to get that sweet sweet spaceship.

    I’ve not played in areas so crowded before really. Other people’s save-markers all over the worlds. If there’s a way to turn that off I’d turn it on and off a lot. Mostly off.

    I keep losing my ship because I can’t tell it apart from the forest of distant-world save-markers of random players, and for some reason the icons seem to not load properly all the time.

    Can’t believe I was supposed to write down the phone-numbers of all those portals? They’re not even numbers. Bird-bird-moon-wigwam? Eh.

    Should be taking more screen-shots. It’s beautiful.

      I did it! I got the fancy ship. It’s not all that fancy really. Quite surprisingly constrained in cargo-space, even having spent 20 million credits extending it. Pulse-lasers are overheating too quick.

      Gonna have to spend some time improving it’s systems I suspect, but this is no longer urgent as it doesn’t have to be done during the two-week expedition.

      I flew around some beautiful planets and my home base taking photos but they’ve all come out shit because it fails at taking these things in VR mode. So here’s a couple in the station from the flatscreen version.

      Closer shot of the spaceman in yellow and black standing on his spaceship.
      Failed VR screenshot. Looks like looking through binoculars or something but the nose of the binoculars blocks the focus of the picture! so it's just some hills and a bit of a space-ship.

        Would like to repaint my ship black and yellow but probably that’s not a thing so maybe I’ll have to change the suit to grey and red instead.

        Surprised to find I can still warp to the bases I constructed during the expedition.

        And now also do normal star-jumps between them and the nearest stars.

        Surprising number of them are explored already. I’m used to being out in the sticks where every planet I find it just me the first to find it.

        The expedition has made this part of the galaxy quite crowded by comparison and it’s hard to find a planet nobody has landed on before even four or so jumps away in random directions.
