Having weighed all the pluses and minuses about NMS, I decided to take the plunge anyway. As someone who enjoyed taking in the scenery in FUEL for hours on end and just walking around the landscapes in open world RPGs, I think I could overlook some of the issues this game has. Still, Minecraft grew pretty stale for me after a dozen or so hours, so I guess it's a toss up!
edit: Is the Atlas path still recommended if I just want to bounce around planets and explore? Could I forget about it mid-way and return to it later, or get on it in the game if I chose the exploration path?

No, seriously, you should be able to sell pretty much anything and every single buy/sell transaction will let you sell the same articles. Only the price you can sell them at will differ based on the buyer. What is it that you are trying to sell and cannot?
Did the planet actually look any different from all the others or did you actually just stumble on a story that you could probably find on any planet as long as you keep visiting those research pods?
Fascination Pearls, I believe they are called, and some kind of ceremonial dagger. Is my game bugged? I literally cannot sell them. Or maybe I'm just fucking stupid and am missing something obvious.
Sellable literally anywhere you can trade. Scroll pages with L1/R1? You usually have much more than a single pages worth of shit and the every trader has around 3 pages worth of shit to sell.
Or this, yeah
I was always able to sell everything I had in the inventory. Everywhere I tried.
My only idea is that you have them in your ship's cargo and you're away from the ship so it's not picking them up. (Or switch between exosuit and ship options when in the sell menu)
You should definitely be able to sell them.
What happens when you try? Is it greyed out, does it appear in the list at all? Have you selected the right inventory (you can switch between the suit inventory and the ship one as long as the ship is nearby/on a nearby landing pod)?

I have about 1.8 million credits at the moment, and the pre-order dlc ship with 16 slots is not cutting it anymore I need something better.
What's the process of getting a better ship? Should I just spend the money on something that lands at the station?
*edit*
nevermind I see the answer above

2 options. Find a crashed ship and fix it up. Very grindy though as crashed ships usually only have one more slot. Or wait at a space station/trading post and check out the ships that are landing. They'll cost you though. I think about 1.8-2 million will buy you a ship with about 23 slots, off the top of my head.

So far the only use for them I've found is to sell them. If you're still on a planet that has them and you know a nearby location with a trading terminal you can farm them and make a few million credits.

Only in my 2nd star system, but found my favorite planet yet. Wintry Forest ^_^
Reading the guide it says to buy a 24 slot shop and then use the transmission towers to find crashed ships.
Does it have to be a gek tower though, I'm in a Vorvax system at the moment.

Right I found a guy in the space station willing to sell me this cool looking 26 slot ship for 2.7 million. I got the money then waited on him coming back, he eventually did and now he wants 2.8 million. I go get that from selling some stuff and he's gone, so I wait an hour for him to come back. Now he wants 3 million.
Will this ever end? is this ship designed to be always just out of reach no matter how much money I have? I'm getting sick of waiting on him coming back now.

So the planets definitely rotate right?
I stood atop a mountain on a low atmosphere planet looking up into space and you can clearly see a planet, the space station and the stars in the back round. You can see the stars moving across the sky as the planet rotates.
Does that then mean that planets, moons and space stations are static and don't have orbits and have fixed positions?
Sorry if it's been discussed, it is the first time I have actually looked up and noticed the rotation.

I tried this but it just kept giving me the same crashed ship.
Theory that hasn't been investigated all that much, but does match what I and others have observed: Everything points at the ship prices being partially dependent on some of the assets that you currently have in your possession, especially all the assets in your current ship.
Try dismantling every single possible piece of tech on your ship and move all expensive elements and such to your suit inventory. The next time you see the ship, there should be a noticeable drop in the price. The trade-off is that the next ship will have less advanced components on it. As long as you don't trigger a save after the dismantling, you can easily test it and load something goes awry.
Umm, shit. You're not supposed to just follow the path?
Last task I was given was to build
a warp drive

I found a abandoned kind of space lab on a planet. All spookey music and shit.
It had green eggs inside it. Reminded me of Alien movie Series.

I found a few of those. One had some long-dead robotic lifeform in it, trapped within some kind of floral experiment for longer than it could recall (it still had a kind of memory I could read). It was a little sad.

The Gek towers are bugged and it apparently lets you use the same tower as many times as you want.
On non-Gek planets, you need to:
Activate a beacon, ask for a transmission tower, go to the tower, activate it, go to the ship, repair it, find a beacon, repeat from start.

As soon as i read that you can enable the Gek Transmission Towers more than once, i fired up the game and from a 38 slot ship i got a 48 in less than an hour!
When my search for the 48 slot started i was anxius because i wanted to find a good looking one fast and this is the first one i found:
I loved it!
I need to upgrade the Hyperdrive now, but this is in general how i manage my slots:

Is there a glitch with technology not showing up in the install screen?
Twice now I've gotten Warp Reactor Theta tech that it says I already know, but when I go to install it on my ship, which doesn't already have the Theta version installed, it isn't in my list of tech that can be installed.

Uhh, where is the plasma beam on that ship?
Was it on a Gek system? Apparently you can't save outside the transmission tower either or the glitch wont work.
I've yet to try it myself though.
Spent an hour last night duping Emeril at a space station. Got 15mil units and upgraded to a 32 slot ship.
I also got my first Atlas Pass. I feel the game is just starting to open up for me now (20 hours in).

I don't like plasma beam! Photon Cannon is pretty much all i need!

Cheers, I did try dismantling what I had in my current ship and when the guy came back he wanted 2.9 million. This has been going on for about 3 hours now. I'll go and farm up another 200k tonight and see if he still puts his price to just out of my reach again.
More like a glitch with the game trying to give you tech that it has actually gated to other events and you were not supposed to get it from whatever you were doing in the first place. I've had plenty of such messages, but I have eventually gotten the same techs from other sources.

You can't delete default technology, can you?

Ah, that's a bummer. Well, I guess I can at least look forward to getting it eventually.

Plasma Beam isn't default. Only Photon Cannon can't be deleted! Try it and see for yourself.

How do you find a specific system for a species? Like a Gek system? Is this information labelled on the star map or is it by chance?

I've found that the really big asteroidss are copper...(but some are nickel too!)
noomi

Sorry to bother guys, but I just want to be sure I understand this correctly.
Step 1: Be on Gek Planet
Step 2: Find the Orange Light thingy
Step 3: Search for Transmission
Step 4a: To go Transmission & solve puzzle (this is what I am unclear about)
Step 4b: The puzzle reward should be a crashed ship waypoint? If it isn't just keep doing it over and over until a crashed ship waypoint shows up?
Step 4c: Keep solving puzzle until you have a bunch of crashed ship waypoints.
Step 5: Go to crashed ship waypoints and keep upgrading until 48 slot ship happens?
The only other question I have is, what about all the other non crashed ship waypoints I get. Will they just sit on my screen as waypoints forever, until I physically go them them to clear it?
Just keep shooting the larger asteroids, those that aren't destroyed in one hit. They might give you copper, nickel, even iridium and probably more. I think some vendors might sell copper as well, but not in huge quantities.
You might want to try different star systems too. I have only found one where the asteroids gave me iridium, for example.
So this happened and it was cool and sad at the same time.
I parked my ship to mine some minerals and notice there is a heard of animals walking around. I scan sone of them just for kicks and notice that a big large weird dinossaur looking one is running around in circles. I thought it might be a glitch or something and went in closer to investigate. The big guy stopped circling and came straight at me and attacked. It was also screaming which added to the weirdness of it all. My instant reaction was to shoot back before it got another chance to atrack so I killed it.
Still thinking it was a glitch I moved a bit further to check where it was circling around and... shit... It was a cub... dead. It was protecting its dead baby.
Felt really sad. It was a cool thing, but also sad.
Awesome shit you got here Sean, please keep working on it because there is definitely something here.

Apparently. I had been following the path for a bit and thought "man, nothing has happened" and then looked at the star map and saw some Atlas objective waypoint over my original star system.

The first 3 steps can be skipped. Just travel with your ship close to the ground and watch for a Transimission Tower. Because that Orange Light thingy as you say, can send you to a beacon or an observatory too and i hate it when my screen is full of landmarks i don't want to visit.
There are 2 kinds of Shelters as far as i know. It's the Observatory and the Transmission.
An Observatory:
A Transmission:
You need to find a Transmission tower.
Solve the puzzle 5-6 times so you get the Crash Site landmarks and then go to them. After that repeat the process until you get a 48 slot ship.

I had a 33 slots ship
not really worth it, but since the slots make duping got faster I got back up to 55M in a few hours so I might buy a 48 slots again when I find a ship design I like
last night I got the 48 slot ship for 66M used the extra slots to dupe my inventory to sell watched a movie while doing this and was back up to 55M when I turned the game off
I must have wasted 300M credits on stuff but my exosuit also has 48 slots now so I am pretty much done with what I can spend on upgrades
I guess its my inventory then because I aways keep it half full with slots of 500s so I had like 10 slots of 500 I forgot the name of what I was selling but it was selling at 308 per unit
duping there is not really much I like to do in this game so I just wanted to upgrade to max and wait and see what features the developer adds in the future
Quite a few planets will have copper, as it is a relatively common element. The most usual form it takes are these dark bronze colored, giant-ass egg-shapes floating above the ground. Once you've seen them, take heed of the color, because it can also show up in various pillar or mound formations, though those are more rare.
