Polo rewards after Atlas path end? *minor spoilers

[IRWorm]

So I've seen on the wiki that I get Warp Reactor Theta and several other things from Polo, but I just reached the end of the Atlas path (surprisingly) before getting those rewards. I only met Polo because I was getting Atlas orb thingies. Now how do I keep finding Polo for the other rewards?

That spherical station keeps on appearing occasionally, even though you've completed the Atlas path. AFAIK, you'll see Nada & Polo just as frequently as you travel. You just wont see the Atlas stations anymore. Be sure to check out he multi-tool at each station.

yea, you're fine.. I finished atlas interface in the euclid system and I'm in Calypso now and the Space Anomaly still keeps spawning sporadically for me even though I got the WR theta while I was still in the euclid galaxy and neither Nada or Polo have anything to offer me..

I've noticed I can get closer to center by warping to a BH 2k+ LY away using my explorer/science ship and then jump thru that BH.. whereas Nada usually pinpoints a BH close to your current system, if not further away from center; so in the end, the distance to the center after either BH is negligible usually.. so now the only thing I check when the Space Anomalies appear is the multi-tool to see if it's a usable upgrade..

According to a Wiki, their sphere will appear in the star system you're in after two hours. I've had them appear a few times near my home planet because I spent a lot of time doing renovations and farming.

I always thought it was related to achievements or progression I made while on planet(s)/moon(s) of a system.. but I can confirm I have seen the Space Anomalies appear in my current system where they were not there before..

Doesn't seem to be. I've got all but a few milestones under my belt, but the Polo sphere only appears either one star system after I've visited the Atlas, or after I've lingered in a star system for hours.

that's what I meant by "appear in my current system where they were not there before.."

Yes, while I did find the pattern of Anomalies appearing one system after an atlas interface interaction, I have been past the atlas interface for quite some time; so the rest is unapplicable.. once you're past the atlas path, it seems as though the space anomaly sporadically appears as you enter a system as opposed to proceeding an Atlas interface.. but the appearing in the current system after playing around in the system does seem to hold true.. I just figured it was achievement based as I've gotten one to appear after interacting with only the space station alien immediately upon entering the system..

I entered the system, landed on the space station, successfully helped/answered the AI's interaction and my standing with that race went up to the next level and I got the achievement bars.. flew out into space and there was the anomaly that wasn't there when I warped in.. so naturally I figured it was achievement based... who knows, maybe it's achievement or time, whichever happens first...

Great help. Thanks everyone.

Does Polo just repeat the last milestone quest over an over again? Everytime I go to the anomaly he gives me the warp drive theta again.

He actually gives a black hole close to your closest to center system, i noticed this when at my base and them showing up in my system. I asked for a black hole, and he put one next to the place i had teleported from, not next to the current system. And this was already after i went through a BH that was some huge number on the other side of galaxy.
^ i think this is what happened i was tired. and found it neat, maybe someone can confirm it.

[p0pt@rt]

yea, black hole closest to my closest progression to center does make sense... but since I'm usually at my closest, he marks a near-by black hole.. granted it does put me closer to center than typical ones I use, but I can usually negate that distance gained by just selecting a normal black hole at the range of my hyperdrive, closest to the center..

oh is that what it is. I did find it would randomly show up when i was traveling around planets so that would explain it.

after completing atlas, you'll keep getting new rewards as you complete the milestones up to the theta warp reactor for zoology 10 reward.

Yes
