What triggers freighter rescues?

[Lailantie]

So I'm around 10 hours into my new creative save and warped 77 times. I only got three freighter rescue missions. I don't like the freighter I have, but I can't seem to trigger a new freighter salvage. I'm sure I make a mistake, there was something like two hours waiting, but I can't find anything about that. Usually after I log in, I start warping and nothing happens. After around 10 systems I give up and do something else.

I know there's a mod for triggering those missions, but I'm sure it should be doable without. Any hints greatly appreciated.

Creative is different in that some features from other modes are not in the game; additionally it's difficult to keep track about the changes because HG changes the game with every version. AFAIK, normally you must warp 5 times and play some hours before you trigger a new space battle when going in a *new* system, an old one you have visited will not trigger it. In Creative? Who damn knows the answer...
You need to read the answer from someone playing Creative for long, those are rare players I would say...For me Creative is just experimenting with base-building and nothing more, you must realize it's not very challenging. I hope you get feedbacks.

Normaly, 3hrs + 5 warps.

Creative.. is not the point.

So I must spend 3 hours in game, and it sums up in several sessions, and then, if I have warped 5 times, I'll get a battle. I usually learn glitch building in this save and get frustrated before 3 hours have passed :)

And I'm around 11 hours into the game so it makes perfect sense that I got 3 freighter offers so far.

Thank you both :)

I played more than 500 hours in creative in the beginning and I loved it. But I don't remember having so few freighter offers. Maybe I had them more often because I was busy learning stuff and doing all the missions at the time.

It is 2.5 hours of play and 5 warps approximately. Usually in the start after you first talk to Nada and ask for help in exploration you get a black hole location. That should trigger the first one as you travel that path. I've had it trigger three times coming out the other side of the black hole.
