The purge, can I avoid the Atlas reset?
Several times I choose the option to avoid the reset of the galaxy and after using the hyperdrive even from a trajectory different from that of the Atlas, first the communication starts with Apollo who tells me that he will reach the center of the galaxy giving me a melancholic farewell and then I meet -Null- who tells me that it's not right that I reach the center of the galaxy. Any answer I choose for -Null- always forces me to choose that I must necessarily get to the center of the galaxy... I am a novice and I read that if I choose to get to the center of the galaxy I am forced to reset everything, even all my experience of game, except the freighter and ships but they were old reviews. Has something changed with the latest updates or am I forced to undergo a reset? Is there any way to avoid this?

As it explains, you can refuse to reset the galaxy if you want. Resetting gives you the chance to travel to another galaxy, but you don't actually lose anything if you take that option. Your bases and all the systems you have explored can still be visited from the new galaxy. The only downside is that the tech in your ship, multitool and suit will all be damaged and need repairing, though you can avoid most of this if you equip a spare multitool and ship instead of your main ones, or you can package up the tech and store it in your inventory where it can't be damaged.

like i said, u can also leave quest where it left. why finish it at all? i think u can travel to other galaxies by portal glyphs if u wish to do so.

Portal glyphs only work for travel within the galaxy you are in, but you can use them to get to the galaxy centre and jump to the next one from there. The advantage of resetting in the purge quest is that you get a choice of which type of galaxy you jump to, instead of just having to jump to the next one in sequence.

From the Wiki...

"A portal address is a string of twelve glyph characters. Just as an Earth address details streets and cities, a portal address details planets, star systems, and regions of space within a galaxy. Reading from left to right, the first character in a portal address is the Planet Index and it is the address for a specific planet or moon within the given star system. The next three characters combine as the Solar System Index, giving the address for a specific star system within the given region. The final characters combine as the Voxel position, which is the specific address for a region in a galaxy. The Voxel position can be further broken into Y, Z, and X coordinates with its eight characters representing height-width-length, YY-ZZZ-XXX (see Voxel Position section, below).

It is not necessary to have discovered all sixteen glyphs to use a portal for travel. Some addresses require only a few glyphs. The benefit to discovering all the glyphs is to have unlimited options."

i guess i was wrong then, i though i readt it somewhere in some posts.

it's is still valid option to leave the quest, and ask other players help to get other galaxies.

anyway, the one galaxy is absolutely huge, so there is enough to explore.

Just for the sake of the game history:

There was a time when changing galaxies was pretty permanent. Everything you did in the former galaxy was no longer accessible to you...except your freighter which you could call in.

You could never go back to Euclid unless you managed to go through all the galaxies (255 to 257 approx) to get back to the first galaxy so it was not something easy to do.

So they gave players the option to stay in Euclid for that mission. Now, it makes no sense to not see the final set pieces for the mission. It is easy to return to Euclid if you go forward. There is no actual consequence to resetting Atlas other then the lore knowledge you gain.
