Normandy Ship

Can you still get the Normandy in NMS or was that just a limited time event?

You can also cheat to get it if you didn't earn it back then. Save editing and mods are both a thing easily done with the game, and either one can unlock the normandy for you.

the Normandy is one of the rewards for completing Expedition 2... so far, there has been only one redux run of the expeditions that have been provided... we don't know if HG plans to run them any more or not...

with that said, there's two ways you can get it... the 1st and easiest is via save editor... the 2nd is a bit harder and requires downloading the data file for the expedition as well as turning your clock back and playing offline (to avoid the clock updating and knocking you out of the expedition and also to avoid the data file being updated which will also knock you out of the expedition)...

i guess there's a 3rd way but it may never appear... that being to play the expedition when it comes around again... if it does...

@wkitty42, just an fyi, but the person who had been hosting the files so that you can change your pc clock and run old expeditions no longer is hosting those particular files.

What he is hosting now are instead "instant completion" files. They are set such that you do not need to change date/time on your pc nor do you get to "do" the expedition; they just insta complete. You do still need to be offline for it though.

I'm not aware of anyone who is hosting files that let you actually "do" the old expeditions at this point in time.

There is a mod called "Consumerism" that lets you buy all the previous expedition rewards at the quicksilver shop, but you have to use quicksilver -- the items aren't free, as if you actually completed the expedition.

I have a friend who uses it but I don't, myself. I hope they run the mission again some day, and I have a feeling they probably will.

oh... that may explain why it all looks so different from what it used to look like... that sucks but i can see it if HG contacted them and asked them to take the files down like they've asked data miners to not reveal some things they have found in the files...

I don't think HG asked them to do it, but rather they changed their approach to make it easier to maintain.

The only way to be sure 'everything works' with the files after game updates, especially big game updates, is to actually run each expedition. That's a lot of work.

By changing it to instant completion, it becomes significantly easier to check each expedition still is working. Basically he went from needing to spend 10 to 20 hours to verify things to needing to spend 5-10 minutes.
