The Purge..?

[rdouglass1]

I think the Mission I am looking for is The Purge..?
Where the Atlas has Four Stars to Pick from to Reset the Game in a New Galaxy..???
I want to know if that Star Pick can be Repeated more than once, and if so How??

I have gotten back into the Atlas. but it only offers LEAVE as an Option..

Yes, the Purge is the mission you are thinking of. But it does not reset the game, it simply moves you to a new galaxy.
No, the Purge cannot be repeated within a single save (nor can any other story missions).
The only way to reach a new galaxy after that mission is complete is to reach the core of your current galaxy. You wont get an option for the next galaxy, you'll just go to the next one in the list.

edit: actually, it's also possible to reach a new galaxy by joining another player in one and then claiming a base so you can return there after leaving the session.
Or by teleporting to a base via the anomaly (afaik there are only 2 or 3 that can be reached that way)

When you finish the quest by going to another galaxy remember to put down a base otherwise you don't go back except by reaching the galactic center.

You can also teleport to a space station so long as you visit one (and it remains in your teleport list). But yes, a base is probably the wisest method of ensuring you can return to a given galaxy

A good way to get to another galaxy, if you're on a new playthrough and don't feel like doing the Artemis/Purge missions again this time, is to go to one of the featured bases via the teleporter that's in the Anomaly. Some of the featured bases are in other galaxies. You also don't get any damage to your tech with this method.

I go to the featured Apothecary base whenever I want to go to Isdoraijung galaxy. It's one of the lush galaxies with more than the usual amount of nice weather planets.

If you do the Artemis/Purge way of going to a lush galaxy, then choosing the green one from the four choices will also take you to the next lush galaxy that comes after whichever galaxy you're in at the moment.

I will check them out. Thanks.

Combine the methods so that you get put into a galaxy "deeper" down the list of galaxies:

If you complete The Purge from #1 Euclid galaxy, and pick Lush, you end up in #10 Eissentam.

BUT INSTEAD: If you go to Isdoraijung galaxy first (via that featured Apothecary base), then "reset" The Purge so it works from within Isdoraijung - and then do The Purge (from within Isdoraijung) - if you pick Lush from there, you end up in #30 Sudzerbal instead.

That's a pretty nice jump to deeper down in the galaxy list.

I've done that exact thing a couple of times. :)

I think that that - or variations of it - will be part of my normal progression in new games from now on. :)
