Day Two of hunting for the new Solar ship in No Man's Sky was far more successful than yesterday! I found 4 pirate controlled systems, and in obsessive-compulsive fashion I warped to each and every one of them in a little cycle.
It had gotten to the point where I was seeing C-class Solar Sail ships everywhere! But I didn't want a lowly C-class. I wanted the best. I wanted an S-class.
After several hours, I had almost given up. I was just going to settle for an A-class which seemed to be just as rare. I had seen one A-class, but snubbed it. Boy, was I regretting that decision.
But with patience comes good things, and as I was hunting for an A-class, I finally found two S-classes at the exact same time! xD Both were identical except their colours. Unfortunately, it's hard to determine the colour of ships whilst in the outlaw stations -- everything is lit up in red.
So I got a boring copper one. But that's okay! I got one! And its sails are purple!!
Then I proceeded to install all the necessary upgrades. xD Good thing I got so much extra of all those materials yesterday so I could make more hyperdrive modules.
One of the planets around one of the pirate controlled systems was rather nice-looking too.
I decided to put a base computer there for building up a base later on. Right on that spot pictured above. Which has a very lovely afternoon view!! 😁
There's also green moths there, similar to the pink one that I tamed a couple months back. So my pet moth, Frega-Frega, will feel at home on that planet with her distant cousins. 😜
Now that my main goal was complete -- find an S-class solar ship! -- it was time to find more money, haha! Buying and upgrading that ship cost heaps, and then I found a cool multi-tool that I wanted for 6 million and couldn't even afford that.
So. It was money hunting time.
Thankfully my salt farm was producing enough salt to transform into chlorine. I got about 6 million straight off the bat after visiting my salt mines planet. Then I found a system with massive amounts of activated indium, so I just hopped around gathering that until I had another 6 million worth.
Once I had a small build up of coin once more, I forgot which system the spiffy multi-tool was in. xD So just kept system-hopping, exploring, and finding interesting planets to look at.
Then I remembered that I had some anomaly detectors that have been sitting in my storage. I didn't want to use them at the time, but now that I had a spiffy new ship, I thought to myself, yes! Time to use these things!
Ironically, the very first one I used sent me to an abandoned solar sail ship. xD WHICH IN TURN started me off on the quest to find pirates and outlaw stations and everything.
If only I had just used one of these detectors earlier. Haha!! Not that I could claim the abandoned ship for my own, sadly, but just... it would've saved so much trouble trying to work out where the outlaw systems were yesterday. So much time and trouble!
So, I embarked upon the great pirate quest I should've done to begin with!
Which sent me all around the system until, at last, it told me to go to an outlaw station and showed me where one was. HAH!
I think the lesson here is, just play the game and you will find things. Haha. Don't be an impatient butt-head like I was being. 😝
Until next time!! ✨🚀
I'm also obsessive when I like some character/item or something in the games so I also get impatient and end up messing up. good thing you already have your S class ship. Nice octopus at the end hahaha
Haha!! That octopus was the first one I had ever seen in the game! I landed on this planet and was just, "Are those tentacles????" and had to go up for a closer look, haha! xD
I haven't played this game but looks intriguing. Seeing the diversity of the planetary environments is very interesting.
That's one of my favourite things about this game -- exploring different planets and seeing all of the environments on offer!
No se porque a mi me parece que todos los planetas de este juego son hermosos eh interesantes
Most are! 😊 Sometimes you'll land on a really terrible planet though, haha.
Nice system that can gives this beautiful planet, I love afternoon views, it's great step to achieve at this class
