How to enter next galaxy

[davidself1001]

I have jumped to the last system (closest to the center). How do i progress thru to the next galaxy? when in my ship i open the map and see the center (it say's contact next to it) but you can't jump or fly to it. when i fly toward the light i just pass it. i can't select it with LMB so i'm stumped on how to proceed. I am doing this in the free exploration mode. I did finish all the ATLAS stuff (got all polo handouts) but i just asked for resources from nada and the selected the ATLAS mission with a "explore the universy" as my goal. Help please. I googled but everyone just tells you how to get to the center not how to get it to start the initialization step.

Possible spoiler - Make sure that your Hyperdrive is FULL of warp cells before selecting the the center to make the 'jump'. Hint - it needs to be fully powered.

As i mentioned there is no way to select the center. I just see a big ball of light. if i press the LMB nothing is selected so i can't jump. I do have all 5 warp cells in.

I think I read somewhere that you can only change galaxies in normal and beyond. In Creative Mode, you can't even do Black Holes, so ... I tend to believe it.

I got it to work. Not sure what i did differently but... on i go. thanks for the feedback.

As a side note, you do get to go to another galaxy, a 1 of 4 choice, at the end of the artemis quests, without actually hitting the center. But after that, you'd be on your own.

I did not get to pick the galaxy type when i did this in free exploration mode. Do i get to pick the type for future galaxy's? Also, is there anywhere in game you can see the name of the galaxy you are in?

Most of the time you can't select the center directly, but rather it automatically selects it after a sec or 2 when opening the galaxy map while you are close to it, you may need to have the path to center waypoint selected.

The other way of switching galaxies is finishing the artemis quest, but that is a 1 time deal.

You can see the galaxy you are in whenever you warp to a new system among other places.

thanks. i just made it to eissentam. cool.

You can do black holes in Creative. Don't know if they're as common or not as other modes, but that's just another false myth about Creative.

At best you can meet black holes by chance in Creative by entering such a system, but guess how lucky you must be ...there will be no pointers on the map for them.
This doesn't matter at all: you get to do all hyperdrives for free anyway.

What happens if you keep flying AWAY from the Center in Euclid? You never come to another galaxy?? Or has no one ever tried it?

That's what I'm doing currently in the Budu galaxy: I try to reach the border. What will happen is very simple: at some point there are no systems more outside, so you cannot hyperdrive to non-existant systems, and NO: you cannot leave a system without hyperdriving, and from the Galaxy Map you cannot hyperdrive in open space.

Leaving the galaxy by hyperdriving would be cool new feature for the game, so you can see the galaxy as a whole if you move away from it enough.

..., and also, see other galaxies as whole as you move towards them! That would be another cool achievement for a future patch. In RL, we don't even know 100% what our own galaxy looks like... But we can see other galaxies around us, it's not just empty. A way to travel back to the previous galaxy? A quest to hunt down the God-of-the-Gaps, perhaps? ;-)

More types of interactive objects, and more options of travel would be cool. E.g. flying into a sun could dramatically slingshot us to a random close-by system... With a stunning outside view of the systems while leaving and approaching...

They never said anything of that sort, though, guess they have enough other stuff to work on.

In fact, all the stars you see in a system if it happens to be dark enough are TRUE stars in that their position is exact as for the galactic map. This means if you could hyperdrive in open space and get further away from the galaxy border you would see more and more a high concentration of stars (a dense star cluster like the picutres shown in big telescopes like Hubble etc.)
Currently you would'nt see other galaxies because only 1 galaxy and star groups of it is present in the game, as shown one at a time only.
I'll make a feature suggestion I think...

I'm in the place of trying to leave the 2nd galaxy too, and am unable to select the center. I've no mods, a full 5 charges of warp cells, it's an easy jump. What did you do davidself1001?
