Wait, what? You don't need to do a new save, to start an expedition?! ~~I'VE BEEN STARTING NEW GAMES FOR NO REASON THIS WHOLE TIME~~ Oh okay that's new, got it 😅

Thanks for the post. Just learned there was a new expedition in the first place and will be trying out the new feature to use my current save.

Just finished (obv. minus the optional community milestones which aren't done yet).

I have to admit, while the staff and ship are great rewards, the expedition itself was, IMO, the weakest one yet for old-timers.

That's not really a surprise--this whole expedition is a marketing vehicle to pull in new players and is really a tutorial for a lot of the game mechanics--but it was still a little disappointing. I'm kinda glad that, unlike past expeditions where I've tended to take my time, I just powered through this one.

I'd be very curious to hear the thoughts of any newcomers, though!

As one parting thought, the very fact this was basically an extended tutorial tells me HG has plans for additional content, and the fears of the use of the term "omega" were unfounded. You don't try to draw new players into a game you plan to EOL.

I too decided to start a new save. I have always liked starting an expedition from scratch as well. I did not get too far as I decided to try using the psvr2, only to be reminded I am blind without my glasses. Hopefully I will get a lot done tomorrow though.

I think you made the right call. I DID use the Anomaly expedition feature and loaded up with elements and tech I thought might be useful, but none of that was available when the expedition started; even when I got off planet, calling the Anomaly wasn't immediately an option. I'm only a few milestones in, I'm sure I'll see it any minute now, but if I'd thought it through I might have stored more mid-game materials! I'll update when I get there; very curious about what else I can bring over from my main save.

It looks like the expedition is finally over since the last optional milestone was reached; however when I go to collect the rewards and officially end the expedition, the game locks up. My character just stands there and the controls have no effect. Hopefully they get that fixed soon.

Moderately frustrating but for me it's part-and-parcel to the early game of NMS. I'm not that fond of the early game but the extrinsic rewards of some of the expeditions are too good to ignore. I look forward to bringing the staff and ship to my main save and hunting a pirate capital ship.

I cannot finish it on ps5 because i somehow have to wait till the community research milestone on planet 5 is done :S I dont know if it is a bug or something similar, but i wanted to finish it so i can start playing regular ( came back to playing NMS right when omega started )
