You lose almost everything on NG+?

[dormdude]

After 120 hours decided to beat the main questline and I'm immensely disappointed to find out that you lose everything. You keep your levels at least but all my ships i designed, the 50000 pounds of cargo I had, my inventory, all gone! What absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I was looking forward to just having fun exploring the new universe while I just did and built whatever I wanted. So much for that. If I want to continue this character I might as well reload an old save and not bother with NG+. What a terrible design choice.

Yes, everything except: powers, char level and any perk points spent/available. Everything else is gone.

Its why I reccomend new players to speed run the main story while making sure to do barretts companion quest for the power (You can't get the quest till AFTER A high price to pay so make sure you keep him alive) He won't give the mission till around the "In their footsteps" main story mission, get to NG+, do main story again (as in NG+ you can prevent what happens in A High price to Pay) and after you get past A high price to pay THEN finally start to do side stuff and explore. Only point to higher NG+'s is just to level the powers to 10, thats it really, which you could just cheat and do that once you get to the end of main story again in your first ng+ and save the time.

Feels the whole reason NG+ even exists is because of A high price to pay, as there is no reason why you couldn't level up powers and ♥♥♥♥/starborn armor in a different way.

It is intended as a new play through but you keep your skills and get to keep and upgrade your new armour and ship.

I did NG+ at 193 hours in. I made it to NG+4 and settled down. It doesn't take that long to get new gear, resources and money. I'm actually having more fun now with the powers that I never even bothered with in my first run.

Your going to mis out on a lot of content up until at least NG+ 10 and that is IF everything goes as planned. More likely NG+15 or so is where you can expect to have seen all content the game might offer.

Its somehwat nice, you get a lot stronger. Your skills and lvl are rememberd ontop of your researches. But yeah for everything else you wil have lost it all. Its a pro/con/worth thing. For me it was handy to use that NG1 to understand every mechanic the game offers and it actually made my second start a lot faster.

At some point i wil settle down on a NG+ and play propperly.

Too me the NG+ is somewhat worth it, but i can see it might not be your thing especially when you have put in so much time and effort in your creations.

Ok whiner.

the game tells you this multiple times before entering ng+
clearly you didnt listen/read

Or you could turn around and walk out of the Unity, like the game tells you. Or did you skip the dialog?

[Krash Megiddo]

I enjoy the new dialog options in NG+
Also its a way to start a new game without losing levels or skills. When my game became corrupted after about 100 hrs, I was very happy to have the NG+ option.

What I would like to have seen at the very least, is anything you stored in the infinite safe in the lodge bedroom be carried over to NG+ so you could store materials and your favourite gear before making the jump.

Not news ..hehe

There are also variant universes. There's a 15% chance for the universe to be different when you start a NG+, and there are 10 different variants.

At least they did not make us go naked.
We get a cool spacesuit a starborn ship and start with a fresh Frontier to work on again.
Yep you get to keep all your levels, stats and powers, the more you jump the better your suit and starship gets better stats.

....

Of note: You do not loose any of your research(1).... So if you have say your Weapons research maxed out, it will be the same in ALL your NG+'s

(1) I've spent about 3 minutes in the ship builder so I cannot comment on what you loose in that area.

Geldric!! Nice to know about the persistent research. I'm in NG1 and already thinking about what I'll do differently in NG2

Do you have a favorite side quest?
