Explain update omega.
I don't understand it thus it looks blend right now, maybe it's just a small update but basicaly you get AI generatedd quests on planet and you can capture a big pirate ship after a fight, I think.

Kinda curious about this too. Does the pirate ship replace your Frigate?

You can still only have one freighter.

I'll be honest it's been 2 years since I've played the game so I don't even remember, I know you can have like 6 big ship to send on missions but I don't remember only having 1 big ship.

There's freighters and frigates.

You get one freighter and up to 30 frigates that run missions from your freighter.

And you get 12 personal ships to fly (fighters, explorers, shuttles, etc)

if you don't understand read the patch notes (near the bottom of the very long page is a large list of fixes to go with the new features... ) seems all good to me

If you have a freighter and frigates, the ones you get on the expedition are lost.

I did, I don't get it, maybe because it's been 2 years hence I wanted an explanation.

Oooooh ok that make sense now, damn 30 frigates 0.0, I think I had 6 back then so I've missed a lot of stuff I suppose.

Thanks for the infos.

You will lose your freighter, since you can only have one. If you have an item in the freighter inventory, you can transfer a lot of your stuff. Frigates not on an expedition transfer no matter what. I don't know if tech and rooms you made transfer. They may if you have something in your freighter inventory. I think it asks you if you want to swap when you have that item there.

If you "start a new game" then nothing is lost. If you 'transfer' from another save game at the end of the expedition anything left over will be converted to nanites/units and put in your current 'bank'.

I think the six ships you are thinking about are your six fighter squadron ships.

Yeah I think that's it, so there is more to it like I could command 30 ship in battle for content that also have you fight more ships ? I'm way behind on infos. I think the last update I saw was settlements and sending ships on exploration/combat/mining/??? mission.

So Hello games has come up with a brilliant new update so that we can play expeditions with our main save game?

But it immediately screws up again because one of the tasks is that we have to conquer a freighter and then it overwrites our freighter, maybe even the upgrades?

Yes, that doesn't sound very intelligent. Great then I'll just use the savegame editor to unlock everything.

Or can I decide at the end of the expedition whether I keep the freighter from the expedition or the one in my game? Then I'll take it all back.

I would really like to go on an expedition. Most of the time I either didn't have the time or inclination or was late. The new game state was also annoying and starting from scratch, like in the past.

I think if you have the choice of what to overwrite, expiditons will now receive more attention than before.

I think that is a bit harsh. For years peeps have begged, pleaded, threatened cajoled HG to let them play the expeditions on their main saves. Any way you look at it, no one is going to be happy about all their choices.

The way it works is your save is stripped of all their accumulated stuff and even level of difficulty is changed to normal, then they allow you to bring in a tool and a ship and some junk. Nothing whatsoever is mentioned about "freighters" (and can we please get the terminology correct?) so they aren't a part of the package for expeditions on old saves "at this point". Gotta remember, this is new for HG too? Maybe it was an oversight but more than likely it is the price you pay for using that old save you demanded.

On your expedition there is no freighter to over-ride, it does not exist on an OLD save. That is one of many reasons why using an old save is less than optimal idea.

In life ya gotta make choices, and one of them at-this-point appears to be noted above. And more than likely there are or will be other things that each one of us disagrees with and hates. Weigh your options and decide whether than S class (that would be cruel as they are so rare) you will leave behind at the end of the expedition is the price you pay.

The other option is enough folks send requests to the zendesk and maybe HG can do something about it, if not for this expedition, then for others. There is one that actually is all about freighters, not sure how that will work.

Consider treating the issues as works in progress instead of "OMG HG is F'ing us over again, bad devs, terrible game - blah blah blah.

I didn't say they were bad developers. Like us, we are constantly receiving new DLC level patches for free.

I'm just saying, and I stand by it, that this new idea that we can use our save game for the expedition was a waste because no one will do it who has really pimped up so many things like I have.

S freighters, countless ships, three S multitools etc... Plus all the work I put into decorating my freighter (well it gets redecorated after every patch anyway, seems to be a general patch problem with freighters) and my base and into finding a nice planet for a base (man was that an act).

Sorry, I'll either use a new save state if I can get the rewards and the tasks aren't pure grind (on some expeditions they were). Or I'll just cheat everything.

This is my way of playing NMS. I play the game regularly with a few mods and when I get to the point where I notice the grind is having a negative effect on my RL then I use the save game editor.

I had to do that at some point because at one point in the game I sat at the spaceport for hours (I'd rather not say how many hours^^) and rolled the dice for a ship layout that I liked.

Thanks to NMS Seeds I was able to easily make my current ship look the way I wanted. With the freighter it was even more annoying. Find an S freighter that is perfect but looks boring. Until both fit, you don't have to be a math genius to be able to figure out that a human life isn't enough to have both perfect.^^
