Another expedition begins tomorrow: disable PvP right after starting the expedition!

[Zak]

Another expedition begins tomorrow and losers are getting ready to grief players who don't know that PvP can be disabled!

You can set PvP to "No one" in NMS Network settings. This way you won't take any weapon fire damage from other players, both on foot and while flying your ship. This is generally a good idea, even in other saves, so you don't get accidentally killed by other players during the Nexus missions.

PvP is a per-save setting and it's enabled by default for every new save or each expedition. So, right after spawning on the planet go to the game settings and change the PvP settings.

While at it, you can also hide your on-foot and ship markers (that white diamond over your head) so people won't be able to locate you easily or just enable it for friends only.

If you don't care about any of the multiplayer stuff at all, then just disable multiplayer altogether. Expeditions don't require multiplayer to be enabled. You will still be able to complete the milestones and see other people's bases but you will never see another player and nobody will bother you. The game may even run better as multiplayer is known to cause lag and stutter.

Disable people's access to your bases and terrain editing features too or limit them to friends only. Jerks will mess up your bases just because they can.

Someone in another thread just made a point: allow everyone access to your refiners. They won't be able to take your materials from them, but it can help some players during the expedition.

I think it's a little rude to call people losers simply because they like to torment others in a video game.
I've already completed voyagers and plan on starting it simply for this reason.

I agree with almost everything you said... except this:

Turn on access to your refiners if you're going to upload your base. It doesn't let people take your stuff out, it merely allows them to use them at all. Like Ender chests in Minecraft, the stuff inside them is player-specific.

It's silly to visit someone's "mining base" or "mould farm" that has a row of a dozen refiners sitting there, and none of them are accessible.

Rude??? It's rude to bully people like this. I have ZERO sympathy and understanding for griefers. They are total losers.

they can use your refiners if you allow it AND you are there at the base when they are there... if you leave or move too far away, they won't be able to use them... i think they can get their stuff out if they put it in while you are there and then you leave but i've not tested this specific point... i do know that you have to be there with the permission enabled for them to use your refiners...

I have never experienced this issue; my wife and I play, both together and separately, and we have never been unable to use each others' refiners, even when one or the other of us is offline.

I'm not sure. I was never able to use other players's refiners but that may be because people don't know they have to make them available to everyone. It'd be nice to be able to test this.

You can't edit a friend's base unless they're there, that I know, but this may be different.

It's a video game man, I don't think anything could constitute as "bullying" with verbal harassment being the only exception.

This is a recent change and unless you alter the default setting, no one but you can access them.

Sorry dude, it is bullying. Ruining people's fun for laughs is bullying. It doesn't matter that this is just a video game. It's an activity people enjoy and some jackass ruins it for them for his own pleasure.

But, it's OK, you don't have to agree. Let's agree to disagree.
