With a simple mod you can play any and all of the expeditions any time you want...

Otherwise, there is a decent chance HG will run a redux of the expos at some point, but there is no publicly disclosed roadmap for this, so your guess is as good as mine as to when that might happen (apparently they often do so around the year end, but given they just ran the cursed expo, it may or may not be included)

If you want, I can try to help you finish it, especially to find the 8 unexplored systems. You just have to send me a contact request.

I don't understand how you joining them would be more effective/faster than simply putting steam on offline mode to visit 8 undiscovered systems (yes, this works and is the easiest method)...

Apparently, going offline doesn't seem to work for all players. One player I recommended it to told me it didn't work for him.

From what I've seen, people keep making the mistake of thinking that turning multiplayer off is the same as going offline....

It's possible. I didn't ask him.

Yah, going offline for real will work for everyone. There's no scenario in which it wouldn't work other than the scenario where they fail to actually go offline.

I really don't see the problem. I am not a swiftie on these expeditions, but even I consider this Expedition to be about a total 4 to 8 hour event.

And you've got a couple of evenings to put into it. And you have already started it.

My tip: For 8 unexplored systems:
- Highlight the 8 Systems task in the expedition tracker and the Log.
- Call the anomaly.
- Talk to Polo. Get nearby Black Hole coordinates.
- Proceed directly to the Black Hole; DON'T get distracted by anything. (If you pass through an undiscovered system on your way to the Black Hole, more power to you. But don't stop.)
-Jump the Black hole.
- You will be hundreds of thousands of ly away from the crowded Expedition area. Start jumping system to system around the system the BH dumped you in. The chances are very high that out of first 12 systems you visit, 8 will be unknown.
- On the remote chance that you land in a heavily explored area, call the Anomaly again and repeat.
- as soon as you have your 8, go to local Station, or call the Anomaly, and teleport back to your last visited Rendevous.

My offer to help you on the expedition and help you complete it still stands. But of course, you don't have to accept it.
You can leave the quest for the 8 undiscovered planets after going to the 5th meeting.

Follow the link that was given in the first reply to this thread, it has the instructions for doing older expeditions in offline mode.

If you're still in the middle of the current expedition though, finish it first, before time runs out, or you'll have to do that one again in offline mode too.

okay thanks

You don't have to "reach" the 8 systems quest.
Other than getting to your ship initially, you don't have to "reach" any particular quest.

You can do any of the steps of any Phase of the Expedition in any order.
It is quite common for players to to do over half the steps from every Phase of an Expedition before leaving the first system.

Oh, it is true that you pretty much have to do the last 4 quests in order, because they are "encrypted". the nature of the quest is not released until the preceding quest is completed. But they are mostly short and direct.

To play offline, before you launch NMS, open Steam, click on the "Steam" drop menu (top left of the screen), click "Go Offline...", then launch NMS as normal...
Once you've completed the mission, you can go online again ;)

To play the old expeditions via the mod linked above, you will need to have Steam in offline mode while playing the expos ;)
