Not gaining Navigator Insights?

[Veleck]

Anyone else notice you aren't gaining any Navigator Insights except for when chart new routes and you gain 1? Seems to have ground my game to nearly a halt.

You can get some in an event on yellow and orange warp travel route. It's a willpower check regarding something with warp reefs.

Aren't you also supposed to get them from exploring a system and stuff like that? I seem to only get a single one since the patch and I now can't reach any systems I haven't already been to. Unless I guess I go farming on those routes to hope it pops up.

Don't make green lanes, just go to yellow at most, you'll be fine.

When you have excess you can create direct lanes between your colonies and make those green.

You get 1 point when you chart routes from every new system you visit. The random event gives you 6 if I'm not mistaken. You can always savescum and go back and forth on a yellow line. I'm not a big fan of this system especially considering there's systems you need to chart a custom route with 3 points to reach them.

[tempest.of.emptiness]

You get one new insight every time you scan for routes in a new system.

Poking around a system doesn't normally give you any new insights, but there may be isolated cases where certain choices in resolving an encounter in a system might yield insights.

So, if you are low on insights you should focus on flying to any systems you haven't scanned yet to pick up your one insight per such system. While you are doing that, if you are flying non-green routes, you might get lucky and get some insights from random warp encounters.

If there is absolutely no new system that you can reach with any amount of travel, and you don't have the minimum of 3 insights you need to chart a new route, then you can try farming warp encounters by traveling non-green routes until you get more insights.

There's more than one random event. One gives 6. But I've had others that give 2-3 points. Usually its a 'navigator suggests a shortcut' type one that leads to a fight. But you get the points after the fight.

Yeah there's one like that where the answer is "trust in your navigator", that gives 2 points. Then there's the skill check regarding warp reefs that gives 6 on a success (no idea what the consequence is for failure, haven't failed it yet).

Failure just damages your ship. One big oof/bug is that ship events only use the skills of the party members you last brought on land. So if you don't have a high warp skill party member in your active party, you're out of luck for ship events too. Which makes no sense since every party member is with you when you're travelling.

Easy XP when you go orange. I have yet to successfully traverse a red.

This, yellow and orange mean you get free loot and XP.

Hell, the only thing left lacking is suprise ship battle to farm void cargo.

As this thread suggests, travel up and down Orange (or even Yellow) routes and pray for events that don't give you combat.

You can rack up damage if you travel yellows with only bad events or failing skill rolls.
