I agree with this. Could we kindly ask the mods to actually rename the topic? For all intents and purposes, this is an OT at this point.

Yeah i sort of wish OP would drop back in too so we could get it updated with all the stuff you've been keeping track of, Hawkian.
Don't know if they wanted to own maintaining the OP when they probably thought they were just making a quick 10-20 page thread...
Yeah I know they're also still using the OT in the gaming community too, so, not sure...

Yeh, I keep noticing it as well but felt like it was too petty to bring up so thank you for taking the bullet on that. At the very least it should have been the new 30hr story, which is the figurehead on top of which a lot of the others sit.
It should be an OT at this point too, I agree. The other thread harbours barely any of the excitement of activity that this one has seen.
Brilliant.

Quick question: How far into the base building stuff do you need to go to get the buggy exocraft? I've done base building pre-1.3 but never played the vehicle patch.
Top stuff. I'm so thankful to have this thread, makes my day seeing active discussion over this game again.

Awesome, thank you!
Nice title!
Nice update thanks Ghaleon, if only all the handy guides were in the OP 
Been enjoying a quiet play through the new content this evening with a sleeping toddler next to me (she's scared of the thunder), and I've had a string of grotty systems. Almost all of them are baking/freezing (or both), radioactive and teeming with pissed off Fauna or peeved sentinels. The only planet which looked lovely (lush, and with just the right amount of pools of refreshing looking water) was practically barren in terms of day-to-day materials.
Worst day for quality planets this week

I think Hawkian should PM the OP.
He's our de facto NMS sherpa
=)
Yayyy thanks Ghal :3
If you don't have the Exocraft Terminal blueprint yet I'm not sure though..
If you already have a base, I believe you can build an Exocraft Terminal, then hire a Vy'keen Technician if you don't have one yet to build the geobays for each exocraft. I haven't done it yet myself eitherThe ๖ۜBronx;246435648 said:

If someone can link them I can migrate them to the OP.

Yeh, I don't have any blueprints but at the same time don't have a base so I'm guessing that's it with regards to them. Still looking for a spot to hunker down haha. Thanks for the info.
I wonder if in future updates they'll allow you to somehow transport your craft to other planets, or is that a thing already?

One question about bases. Does investing in one change up how you approach all planets from that point onward, or is it more of a matter of investing in one planet in particular?
Say I build a base and get some vehicles, can I use those anywhere? Or just on my home world?
All the base stuff is new to me. Haven't really dipped a toe into it all yet, but am interested in checking it all out. Is there anything I should look for in particular with a home world? Am currently spending all my time on a very chill planet with kumbaya sentinels and no fauna. Its hard to find a place more relaxing but I wonder if the lack of animal life would be a problem.

Oh wow, came back to quite a surprise! Thank you and and definitely jump back in when you can.
Interesting question- this is actually sorta up to you.
You can return to your base easily from any space station, even on the other side of the galaxy. So it might or might not change how you approach future exploration depending on what you use it for. As far as investing in one planet in particular, you could do that especially if it's resource-rich and you want to make it a kind of wealth-generating investment for yourself, or you could not put much into it and kind of planet-hop and claim a new base whenever you felt like it.
Just learned about this myself, once you have a base with the geobays (housing for each type of craft), you can build an exocraft terminal on any planet to summon them.
Same here.

Appreciate the answers (and the guide!) Hawkian. Thanks.
Will see what I can manage this weekend.

Thanks Ghaleon, sorry I wasn't being lazy I'm on mobile and a sleepy toddler between me and the laptop.

Vehicle stations I believe can be built anywhere on any planet, not just the one you have set as your home base.
Edit: ah, Hawkian answered it better.
Any homing weapons for space combat? I have done a few of the
quests and installed the new weapons I got for that. They pretty much all suck in the same way that the basic plasma cannons suck. I'm tired of losing all my shields while I plink away at low level fighters. There has got to be a way to kill them faster...

2 or 3 days I think.
Perfect. Worst case my bare bones base needs to be expanded for farming.

Thanks to the mod who OT'd this. I'd apparently gone to see Nada & Polo so many times already that I got no dialogue from them on subsequent visits after the "this is the first time you found the anomaly, and here's the atlas quest" starter.
I'm worried about "Fixed terrain editor being built with full charge" because that's the only thing that makes the tool even remotely possible to use in normal mode. It's basically an official statement that it's only there to dig up freighter crates and that fun is banned. Also, if S-class ships are made even more expensive I'm going to scream. They're as much as an entire freighter already. I had huge stockpiles of everything and about 100M units banked and I even can't afford this stuff. Farming is the easiest way to make larger sums of money but without a fix that remains obscenely tedious.
Remember to keep some oxides or shielding plates around for quick shield recharges mid-battle... D-pad down, select shield with X, press again immediate to use first element that pops up... can be done indefinitely. Slow with L2 for a moment after a ship makes it pass at you to turn quickly and get behind them with a boost. Check random ships at bases for ones that might sell defense chits... seems restricted to Vy'keen systems and the orbital station. They're cheap!

The phase beam use to have some auto-aim but it got a nerf bat. My suggestion for a more dependable weapon is still the phase beam, however. You take more damage than you used to regardless of combat style now so how do you take advantage of that? If something has you lined up that perfectly it assures you get the same accuracy the other way. The phase beam has a good range, good stopping power, and is instantaneous. The new weapons might be better with upgrades so maybe others can comment on that.

I found one pre-1.3 in permadeath. I setup a base immediately.
That's all decent advice but I really hope at some point they can make the dogfighting... yaknow... fun. Recharging my shields twice in the course of fighting a single ship is beyond tedious.
Got the photos
The ships' name is: Bushunat S95
Nice, that's definitely at the top end of the hyperdrive bonus.
You'll be able to do 2600ly+ jumps with that bad boy. I'll be on the lookout for an explorer ship once I start towards the center.

What's the difference between the 3 main ground vehicles. I built the buggy and accidentally built a hovering one on another planet by mistake, but it looked the same minus the wheels.

And it's an explorer.
And it's got 29 slots.
And here I am with my c class hauler with 25.
Legit flippin tables over here.
The Nomad is the fastest, has least cargo space and can glide over water
The Roamer is good all-around, medium cargo space and can drive on sea floors
The Colossus is the slowest and has the most cargo space by far
yeah I can't even
that's the exact kind of ship I'd want
