NEW Expeditions for holidays

[Reece]

Anyone know why I cannot take anything back after completion, its grayed out and wont let me take anything back. I have completed all except for the optional ones track planet stuff, but retrieved all rewards shows its done and my only option is to end event or go to real world. I have done events before and know how to bring stuff back since its worked for me before but this time it does not.

Go to the termiinal at the Anomaly, behind Nexus (The thing that hands out quests)

You have to end the expedition to get the active transfer from the Expedition inventories to the terminal.
Until it is ended, the transfer is still set up in the other direction (from the terminal to your Expedition inventory).

The optional milestones are also complete now, btw.

If you aren't able to collect them, either you didn't scan enough on the planet(s) yourself, or you just need to go back to the planet and put boots on the ground to trigger the completion. For whatever reason I needed to return to rendezvous 3 and 4 planets to collect the optional milestones, even though I didn't need to scan any more things.

Same, except I only needed to fly into the atmosphere, didn't need to land (I didn't lay down bases on any of them to be able to teleport directly back).

Heh, nice. I just teleported to them so wasn't even aware that just entering the atmosphere would have been enough.

If you had clicked the button to end expedition (at the anomaly terminal) it would have allowed you to do that without doing the optional milestones. That's what the "optional" part means, you can end it early, it just won't automatically end it for you like it does if all milestones are completed and collected.

Yep.... i was VERY glad to not have to do those optional milestones..... because i know that type of mission always comes down to a couple of things that are hard to find, which is going to frustrate me and is not my idea of fun at all.

Those optional milestones were community milestones. A lot of other people contributed to their completion.

In this case all you had to do was scan 3 things on each Rendezvous world, so 15 total scans, and the community did so too, when it reached a set number they unlocked for everyone who did 15 scans
It was incredibly easy
It was neither difficult or frustrating
And everyone who did so helped the community to unlock it
You shouldnt really be VERY glad of missing out on easy rewards, and not helping the community, but each to their own

I just did 1 flora, 1 mineral and 1 fauna per rendezvous world, but it couldve been 3 flora or 3 minerals or 3 fauna, any combination
For the less than 30 seconds this took, it was well worth the reward
It wasn't "Scan everything on every planet in the Rendezvous system", that wouldve been frustrating

I actually did more than this because im used to scanning everything i see when i first get out of my ship, and scan more while im walking around
Ive usually scanned 15+ things per world before i even think "Why am i doing this?"
Im just built that way now, i dont walk past 15 free nanites even if i have over 500k of nanites
On expeditions this is converted into credits or nanites, plus you can also claim more by talking to Helios and/or Ares
Just like every other non-compulsory thing you do on expeditions, like learning extra words and similar
Whether i need it or not, if i do stuff i like to get paid for it
