Feels like a flashback of what happened to me in the first 40 hours, back in ... hmmm... I think it was end of 2019. I literally had to force myself to stop playing.
I got captured by a memorized emotion of happiness & sadness in the same thought. I looked up in the sky from a planet Realized every star I look at is a possible system I can visit. O.o!...................O.O! 😢There are 18 quadrillion systems in the Euclid Galaxy alone. 😄Mankind can explore this game for entity.
2:40 the negative stats are fixed by leveling up. Some of my best S class frigates started as C class with neg stats.. I have a name system to track their progress.
Wow! I thought I knew all there was to know about my frigates. All S class now and do very well. But didn't know that those not sent out are helping me fight pirates. Just thought they were the squadron pilots. And can't wait to see what the frigates not assigned have for resources. Thanks. This adds even more to my game!
I did not know frigates produce materials or can be used to scan. I got tired of having to repair the frigates after expeditions and frigates asking me for help during their expedition. So I removed all frigates and have begun farming space whales. They do not require aid or repairs and it just looks awesome having a pod of space whales.
I love the frigate system, just jump into them when they are not out. I get almost every high end thing I need passively and sell what I don't use and buy what I do. So simple and it gives me time to just enjoy doing whatever I feel, like hunting pirates or doing my own pirating, building my bases and settlement or simply jumping to all the systems I can and claiming their names for my own.
did you know that pirate dreadnaught freighters fires back at your enemy ,when enemy is inbound summon before the fights begins and watch how your dreadnaught freighters fires its weaponry
Only buy C class is a good general rule of thumb, but I did find an S class recently that had even better stats than my other S class that I had ranked up from C. So, I bought it.
Yah have to agree especially in the early game 1 or 2 better ships isn't a bad score my survival saves first ship I hired was an s class support that had better all round stats than anything I could get after it.
I have a lot of hours into NMS and have amassed an A-class Pirate Dreadnaught and a full roster of S-Class frigates, including a dozen combat ships, in addition to my roster of spaceships with all of their supercharged weaponry. I'm only saying this because when I'm messing around in a system with my armada and I get the pirate notification, in the back of my mind, it's like, "Really?". I just imagine the pirates thinking it will be any easy score and then warping into an absolute hellstorm of death around them.
Great stuff. Didn't know some of it. I'm glad I bought mostly C class frigates and let them advance themselves. One thing I'm thinking about which I can test out myself anyway is... do living frigates ever get damaged? You can't teleport to them so it seems living frigates would be less maintenance since you can't board them to fix anything.
@@goodguysfree Cool. I don't mind feeding them, it's kind of fun and you really don't need to worry too much about selecting their specialty when you first recruit them since you can change their specialty by which foods you feed them. That's a whole other video though.
Very true, although I've been researching this issue for the deep-dive video I am still planning, and ... well... the data is scarce, and mostly speculative. No hard-facts about how different foods affect the stats.
I love this game, and have since launch. But ffs there is so much about it that the game never ever tells you. Sure, too many help messages would be frustrating, but sometimes the complete lack of information is far far worse. So, cheers for the video telling us a lot that the game either doesn't mention at all or leaves as a tiny barely comprehensible line on a single screen you need to look out for.
Do you have any tips on how to get a good first freighter and what to look for? I recently started playing and learned that you didnt have to take the first freighter, but I haven't had much luck at finding any good freighters
This is a tough one. I don't have a video about that. The issue is that having a freighter will enable you to gain units much faster than without. So there's a trade off between waiting to find the best freighter and taking some freighter and swapping later. There are many videos out there explaining how to get an S class freighter. Just search.
The first two are always system freighters, the third will always be a capital one. For the pirate, you need to already own a freighter. To have a better chance at finding an s class, you should go to 3 star or pirate systems. If I'm not mistaken, the chances are: - Abandoned and 1 star: 0% - 2 Star: 1% - 3 Star: 2% - Pirate: 5% Before jumping to another system, hop in the station and exit your ship to create a restore point so if you encounter a freighter battle you can reload. Try different system until you find a model you like, then complete the battle and check the class, if it is not S, you can reload and jump into that system again to reroll the class, but the model will be the same. If you want the pirate freighter, you first need any freighter, then jump into pirate systems so a special battle can appear. To make it surrender, destroy the engines and then the anti freighter turrets and shields. Once it surrenders, hop inside and check the quality. Reroll if you don't get S class. The pirate freighters are always free as you seize it instead of buying it.
@goodguysfree I had to come back and share the good news! I just started playing again tonight, and after completing my first space battle I inspected the freighter and it is an S class!!! I lucked out and got an S class for my very first freighter! 🍻
I just bought some frigates and started sending them out, this is great info, thanks! I haven't received any missions for living frigates yet, but I have several anomaly detectors. Do you know if I need to wait for the story/mission, or can I just use them to "shortcut" the mission and get some living ones by waiting for whalesong?
You CAN'T shortcut. Keep sending expedition missions until you get a Dream Aerial. This will get you the first living frigate. Only try the anomaly detector afterwards, and never twice in the same system.
Search coordinates exchange for S class derelict freighters and you can get S class upgrades for your freighter. The upgrades will also help your frigates. If you haven't already done it I would strongly suggest installing the matter beam and the storage containers on your freighter. Other upgrades are nice if you want to warp in your freighter and have the ability to go to different color star systems like you can with the upgrades for your ship.
Been playing for a couple of years and I had no clue the frigates provided resources.. Damn, this game schools me at every turn. Thanks for these tips! I have been trying to figure out how to increase my frigate game and this will help a lot.
Also, did you know you can TRAIN your living frigates? If you want higher trade, send them out on a trade mission with a higher ranked trader and their trade stat increases. You can also change stats by feeding them
No. You need to wait until one of the expeditions you send your frigates on returns a Dream Aerial, and then you need to pulse through space with that Dream Aerial in your ship's inventory (probably works in your suit as well) until you encounter the first living frigate. The Anomaly Detector will not find any living frigates before then.
Oh my god, if that is the case, that means all my frigates has a billion resources (not really mechanically of course =P) o_o Because I do not touch frigates at all and I been playing for 3 years
The question is different - does the simulation we live in know that we invented another simulation in a simulation? We think not (echo: we think not...). ;-)
Apparently your player character, the Anomaly, was made by the Atlas after the creator of the Atlas itself! So, you are created in God's image. The universe is rightfully yours to conquer
I picked this up a few years back after they finally got it to a point where it was recognized as one of gaming's best success stories. I'd like to revisit it again sometime - once they are done fiddling with it. It's not a real MMO where players must work together to overcome difficult content and look forward to more variety. I refuse to learn a game and then have to relearn it over and over. Too many games - too few years left.
I knew the facts pertaining to standard frigates; I’ve been less clear on how the living frigates work though, thanks for the tips. …Anyone else hoping for some kind of Light No Fire announcement today? For the anniversary of the reveal?
Why are you asking children to fill out forms for apparently free ships? I took a look at it and you demand a voice call as well as other information. What is going on here?
I tried to give ships with chat only, and it is very difficult to get it right. Children you say? I don't know their age, and I don't ask. I may ask which country they're from and timezone because it helps coordinate an in game meeting. And there's nothing "apparently" here. People have received ships ftom me. Plenty. You don't believe me? Try me. The form is only used to help me track who received their requests and who I still need to get to. Nothing else. It also helps me because many times, the UA-cam username is different than the name in game, and different than the name in Discord, etc. FWIW, anyone who had a voice call with me and feels there's a risk here, please come forward and tell. As for how I care about privacy, I specifically selected "do not collect email addresses" in the Google form. I don't ask people their age, their beliefs or anything that has nothing to do with the game. Nobody except me has access to see the responses. When I complete a transaction, the only thing that remains are the Discord chat logs, UA-cam comments, and the fact that this player and I are friends in the game. And before you ask: the only thing I ask in return is for the player who got something from me to continue watching my videos and comment to tell me if they're good or bad. I really hope this reduces your concerns, but if not, please DM me and we'll work together to make this even safer.

Just got this game five days ago, and I already have almost 40 hours in it. I can't remember the last time a game has captured me so completely.
Feels like a flashback of what happened to me in the first 40 hours, back in ... hmmm... I think it was end of 2019. I literally had to force myself to stop playing.
Wait till you find a portal and how to use them.
Same 💯
Yep. Great game. Great community.

Realized every star I look at is a possible system I can visit.

Great Video!, you can also feed your living Frigates different types of food to change their stats.
Thank you very much KZZZT.
I stretch out my hand in a gesture of gratitude. I have learnt something this day thanks to this lost traveller.
2:40 the negative stats are fixed by leveling up. Some of my best S class frigates started as C class with neg stats.. I have a name system to track their progress.
I can attest to this, some of my high stat frigates started with flaws!
@juliancain6128 good to know. Thanks.
I generally build up my fleet then filter better frigates in.
had no idea that the idle frigates generate materials over time! worth watching within the first 1min!
I'm just glad I had the thought that this has to be the first tip...

And it's just those un-obvious things, not a comprehensive guide. Still planning to make a comprehensive guide, but that will take a little longer.

Living frigates can get damaged, and then you need to feed them. At least that's what I read in the NMS wiki - but never seen this happen.

Really glad I could help!
Sure they produce resources... But is it really worth it? 100 material every 25 minutes is a pathetic number 😂
It is, except when you need that exact resource. But yeah - it's not that helpful. Maybe in survival, or relatively early in the game?
Also, did you know you can TRAIN your living frigates? If you want higher trade, send them out on a trade mission with a higher ranked trader and their trade stat increases. You can also change stats by feeding them
Did know about changing stats by feeding. Didn't know about training. Thanks!
@@goodguysfree It's a really cool hidden mechanic. Have a play with it. I don't think anyone else ever covered it
Well, I might. If I do - I'll mention I learned this from you.
@@goodguysfree I'll be interested to see what you think. You're bit more thorough than I am 😆
I am not sure about that, but I tend to be able to get the data many times.
Can you get the whale from the anomaly detector before going through the story.? Or is that when you finish that part of the story.?
No. You need to wait until one of the expeditions you send your frigates on returns a Dream Aerial, and then you need to pulse through space with that Dream Aerial in your ship's inventory (probably works in your suit as well) until you encounter the first living frigate. The Anomaly Detector will not find any living frigates before then.
Hi, well, thanks, personally, I didn't knew how to get a living frigate (didn't looked for it neither… 😁), that tip will be useful for me.
Well, if you don't have a living frigate yet, pulsing won't work. You need to get the Dream Aerial first. That's the spoiler part I'm trying to avoid.
I did not know that the trade frigates no longer give you credits.
Yeah. I made sure this isn't related to game mode. I was in Normal...
Oh my god, if that is the case, that means all my frigates has a billion resources (not really mechanically of course =P) o_o Because I do not touch frigates at all and I been playing for 3 years
Not really - only up to 100 mag-ferrite and 100 condensed-C per frigate...
I'm just sad you cannot board the Normandy :(
You and me both ... That would have been amazing if we could.
To make up for that, I'm re-playing the ME trilogy right now! 😆
did you know that this game is not real, you play a simulation of a simulation inside a computer on your computer xD
The question is different - does the simulation we live in know that we invented another simulation in a simulation? We think not (echo: we think not...). ;-)
