Beachhead Expedition Uncharted Milestone Advice

[Bistro]

Quick math example: 10000 players will need to discover 80000 to achieve this milestone.

1. Pack some sandwiches, bunch of Warp Cells and enjoy the ride.
2. Invest at least in Warp Core Resonator to get more Hiperdrive Range (I had 457 LY, remember about supercharged slot).
3. Fly consistently in one direction, the farther you go, the better, cause the "sphere" of discovered system will get bigger and bigger. Don't bother searching systems near expedition area. You will waste a lot of time. Don't stay in one area, just cut through galaxy.
4. It took my about an hour, maybe hour and half, finished! It's not that hard.

Good luck Travellers!

First thing i did was look around for any black holes, because that would solve the crowding problem, but Hello Games in their wisdom seem to have picked a region of space with NONE.

You might want to add "invest in full hyperdrive upgrades".

I only needed to make 8 jumps to discover 8 systems when I did that milestone yesterday, most likely because I first upgraded my hyperdrive and that first jump I did was large. I never needed to even refuel my hyperdrive.

Edit: I also agree with @mystikmind2005. Just using a black hole first, or even just using a portal with entirely random glyphs punched in would also likely work to get the milestone done super fast. It's what I would have done if I hadn't discovered a new system with just one max-distance jump (at which point I just did the 7 closest systems to get the milestone complete)

Yeah Black Hole also a good way to go. But from what I remember you need some technology to see them. Those who gonna start later will simply have to fly a little farther.

I looked at the portal, but i had no glyphs, and that is NOT a small job collecting them, so that options out too.

How hard is it to get that technology compared to just 'flying a little further'?

No technology is needed, you can just ask polo to point you to one.

I wouldn't think you would need all the glyphs, just a couple would suffice. Someone mentioned that there were travelers at the station of first 2 expedition systems. So I think it's a realistic, and not particularly time-consuming, option if it saves an hour of trying to find undiscovered systems.

Keep in mind that black holes also have fixed destinations (now), so the blackholes nearest the expedition area aren't going to be as effective either the longer the expedition is running (as more people use those nearest black holes).

[Jaggid Edje]

What they really should have done is made sure everyone doing the expedition started with a Singularity drive. That thing is the equivalent of a random black hole iirc, would have been perfect as a starting point for discovering 8 systems.

Tip 1: The systems can be discovered in ANY galaxy. The Nexus bases offer different galaxies.
Tip 2: You should have at least one glyph which is all you need to get close the the center, if you go thru the center you will be "almost" (99.95%) guaranteed where you spawn will be undiscovered

Hm don't remember what tech that was. Other way you need to finish Atlas Path to see black holes, so.... And Polo yes.

[Shadow Strider]

you can simply play offline to complete that mission too...
If the game doesn't connect to community data, then any system you haven't already got data on will suffice...

After completing the mission, then you can go online again.

Its not hard. People tend to think 2 dimensionally instead of spherically in a radius to explore from. I warped about 4 hops away and was completely surrounded by unexplored systems and got them pretty quickly. even if 100k people were doing this, its still mathematically going to be possible to do.

Dont forget, from the space anomaly you also have access to other jump points too.....

Not to mention entirely different galaxies. 3 of the featured bases right now are not in Euclid. That's a very good point, @retsam1.

Using a Nexus mission at the anomaly is also a good way to get spit out into 'random area' in the galaxy.

Another quick tip is to remember that the galaxy is 3D. So don't head in the same direction as the expedition. I did the milestone by going back to the 2nd rendezvous and warping 'up' in the iron vulture. You can use any reward ships you have unlocked from the quicksilver vendor.

If you don't have one, as mentioned above, either Apollo's black holes, or randomly entering the 2 glyphs that the travellers in the 1st two stations give in any portal, or using an anomaly base to another galaxy should yield undiscovered systems. Don't forget you can use *any* base from the anomaly, not just the community highlights. Using your personal ship with a couple of hyper-drive upgrades will make life easier as well.

The 'other bases' you see are based on who is in the anomaly with you, afaik, so during an expedition odds are all of those would be bases along the expedition route.

Yeah, as always in NMS there is few ways to do it. Even 100Kx8 is still very small value compare to size of Euclid. Fishing was funny, almost died due to cold storm and cold water XD,
