Am I missing something, I redeemed my preorder bonus of 10,000 credits and a different tool but start the game with nothing?

Have you gone into NMS itself and then Options - Redeem Bonus Content?

Greboth · 10 Aug 2016 at 19:44

Ah thanks, I was just being too blind to see that option

I didn't get a ship as a bonus just credits and a multitool. Time to head off on my first planet.

Until you find upgrades, yes. Prioritize your mats.

Start crafting them into things, depends what you've got. Look out for drop pods as they can give you more exo slots.

Cool thanks, what does the Move and Stack option mean in the Inventory? I thought you could 'stack' all kinds of one material , i.e. all Iron into one but doesnt appear so

Suicidal Ferret · 10 Aug 2016 at 19:54

Moves the item to your ships inventory. Don't have to be close either. However to swap mats from ship to suit youll have to be near the ship.

Just found an abandoned outpost in my starter solar system called 'gayboy outpost'! I'm setting up camp there until I'm ready to hyperspace.

I've played a good 4 ish hours today. Haven't had a single crash. Had a couple last night however.

Seen a vast amount of planets so far. Lush rich planets brimming with huge, and small creatures. Also very barren planets with a hell of a lot of ore (love these. Especially gold outcrops

) got about 600k units so far. Just saving up for a ship! Haven't found any crashed ships yet no matter how carefully I look. Or how many transmission posts I activate :/ I've only hyper jumped 3 ish jumps so far. So not very far in !!

Edit. If you come across a planet with aggressive / erratic sentinel behaviour there are very good items you can get on these. I won't give anything away. But they can be picked up. You get a full wanted level however

DAIR · 10 Aug 2016 at 20:33

How have you managed to get 600k?

I'm still in the early stages of this. I've just fitted the ship with the hyper drive module thingy. I also attempted to take one a lone ship in space . .... Got my backside handed to me lol

Mobius 1 · 10 Aug 2016 at 20:36

Just got lucky and found a planet full of gold ore. Mined it for half an hour and sold it all to a space station.

I'm still in the starter / bonus ship. Really want something else but they're all so expensive !! Like in the millions !

I've had my a** handed to me a few times, randomly being jumped by space pirates :rolleyes:

so glad this isn't true MP. I could see myself getting very frustrated with people ganking noob players lol.

mid_gen · 10 Aug 2016 at 20:50

Ian M Banks quotes = win. Just got jumped by some hostile ships and died

I've just opened the galactic map for the first time and had a look around the universe.... OH MY GOD at the size of this game

DAIR · 10 Aug 2016 at 20:52

I've forgotten do download my bonus ship

montymint · 10 Aug 2016 at 20:55

you lot are making me jealous

Mobius 1 · 10 Aug 2016 at 20:56

I couldn't put off downloading it any longer. It kept nagging me like every twenty seconds that I've still got bonus content To download via the options menu.

Lokai · 10 Aug 2016 at 20:57

Ggrr my second complete freeze now.

Fight with the mining lazer instead. It locks on if they are in your view finder.

Mobius 1 · 10 Aug 2016 at 21:30

Well I never... I've got a mining laser on my ship !?

Emlyn_Dewar · 10 Aug 2016 at 22:04

Caught in a storm on one planet, temperature dropped like a stone!
Managed to get a couple more suit inventory slots from drop pods. Failing badly to find zinc right now!

Greboth · 10 Aug 2016 at 22:05

Hmmmm so wandering off in to a cave was a bad idea, took me an hour to find an exit :eek:

I really should leave the starter planet though, been here for 4 hours and it keeps trying to kill me

mid_gen · 10 Aug 2016 at 22:18

Done for the night. 600k banked, think I'm gonna save for a 1mil+ ship from someone in a station. Love it so far.
