Randomly? I thought it was players giving stuff to others which I never figured out how it's done. Same with chat - I have no clue if you can send message to other player. Is kinda awkward.

It is a bit terrifying but quite unique. It also explains the whole universe. Pretty ingenious.It's really good, and actually rather affecting. Did it last night and I'm still thinking about it. Did I make the right choices? Would it have changed anything if I'd made different ones?
Anyone reading this - if you haven't completed it to its end - you definitely should. It'll flip your ideas about the game, even when you know the basic outline. Well, it has mine anyway.
16...16...16...
When in the vicinity of other players (e.g. at the anomaly) when you transfer stuffz between inventories, one of the options it will give you is to transfer to another player nearby. Someone obviously did that with their Void Egg, and I was the lucky recipient. On a previous save, someone gave me 3 things worth about 50 million units each. I don't know who they were in either event, it was just completely random.
As for chat - no idea. You can invite other players to your 'group', and then I assume there's a group chat of some description, but I've never done that. There may be a way to /tell another player individually, but I've never tried.
Yeah, didn't find out how invite fuctions. Not that I needed it. None of my friends play it anyway. So you need to be close to player and then you can shove over inventory items?
Basically, yes.
Invite works by holding 'E' when looking at a player. It happens by accident most of the time, usually when players are crowded around consoles at the anomaly since it's the same key action.
Ive had over 3 allready during NMS updates... stations rejects them as Fake items... wont give access to station core...Awesome, well done.
Can I ask a favour of you? If you got a Station Override as part of expo 3, can you create a manual save and then try and use it in a station? Curious to know the results.
Ah okay, just wondered if completing expo 3 triggered something new. Thanks anyway.
Yes, multiple phases, and several steps in each. I quite enjoyed it. Also, you don't have to play multiplayer. I played solo. Apparently, the multiplayer has been bugging out, low framerate, crashes, and more, so it's probably better to turn it off for this event.
Did I tell you guys how long it took me to realise that mods on equipment boost neighbouring mods of the similar family? And that is probably not the only thing I'm doing wrong or haven't even figured out. I played 2 weeks without realising I still had another ship that I could use. I didn't even know it was there and had assumed it would be exchanged and there was ever only 1 slot you could use for ships.
So true. It really is all about having fun and exploring.
And I think this expedition event shows what can be done in an open world game, even in Elite Dangerous. Imagine if Distant Worlds was like this? Only problem that there's only 5 things to discover out in space in Elite, while NMS have 5,000 things just in a single system! (/s)
One of the problems with HG and how they've evolved NMS is how there are different blueprints and items in different categories. The ones you get by buying using quicksilver from the quicksilver trader in the Nexus, those you keep and are permanent over all saves, the other ones you keep in this save file (that's converted from expedition to normal at end of event), but aren't transferred to the other save files. I know. It's not obvious some of this stuff.
I wouldn't beat yourself up too badly about it - everyone goes through that (think I found the stacking bonus entirely by accident), because there's so many little things like that which the game doesn't explicitly tell you, but then you realise or discover it, and it's "Ahhhhh!". Learning the finer points of the game are as much exploration as... well... exploring in NMS.
Was interesting watching Drew Wagar's first playthrough of NMS - because I was almost screaming at the monitor sometimes "Noooo! You're missing this!!". But of course, he has to discover these things on his own.

I mean, there's so much in the game in the larger perspective, so it's easy to forget all the minor details and tricks. All the how-to's. And it's changing over the versions as well, for instance, just like having multiple ships, or multiple multi-tools even. Not sure how many know you can have three different multi-tools. That way you can specialize each one if you want.
My new save, Yellow Guy, is getting to be quite the experience. I'm having to learn all over again. I can sympathize with Drew Wagar...
Playing for more than an hour drains my batteries. It's intense.
I tried my old saves, and it's like they are frozen in another time. My take is that you need a new save with each major update.

Wow.
This new save is doing incredible things.
Please note that I play at a much lower lever than many others do. This save is like my first Elite session. I found a crashed ship, and can now start building far beyond my starter ship. Your characters might yawn at this, but it's like getting out of my starting Sidewinder.
I feel much better about NMS, now.

I'm actually going to reinstall (grrrrr) and try the expeditions. My stuffz are on hold for nowWhere are the usual suspects asking for your stuff?
oh right, most that play NMS are pretty laid back and don’t need passive aggressive behaviour to try and belittle someone for expressing an opinion
Apologies for the passive aggressive
Wow.
Just waiting for some minerals to extract, pretty much done all of phase 1-3, most of 4. This was absolutely great, having so much fun. About half the milestones were filling gaps in things i hadn't tried before. The only bugs i encountered were not being able to place a exocraft bay inside your base.
- Im amazed at how much fun exocraft are. This is interesting because they're exactly the srv.. i had no idea one of the headline usecases in odysee had been done before in no mans sky.. and so effectively. The only way people are positive about elite is if you haven't played no mans sky.. because after experiencing this, elite suddenly becomes 1% of no mans sky, not the best game in the universe. The srv driving is so much fun. I guess elites is as well, but its just that bit extra, like the developers finished the game or something.
- Im getting used to the art style, ie im not noticing it. Recommend setting post processing to ultra for the cheapest quality upgrades.
- The new flight model im really starting to like.
- I almost wept how i found out.. one of my fantasies for a class of passenger missions was basically timed canyon boosting. Frontier of course just gave us cargo transport from a different menu. No mans sky just ripped that fantasy out of my head and made it a milestone. Don't know what to say. I didn't even tell them.
- Yeah no mans sky is what odysee should have been. Or something like it. Sure they're in different games, but it makes sense to be playing it now. How did we ever give so much praise to frontier for elite when this exists? Guess we didn't know.
- ... Its good that these expeditions are infrequent. I couldn't imagine doing another one of these until long after the last one was forgotten. But the fact that they go all out with 5 days worth of great twitch drops as well makes a good event.
Also yeah this would be pretty brutal for new players. I even reloaded a save because i thought i needed a medium refiner to make horax, but one of the other milestones gave the blueprints (and its inventory crafted). Also my s class class explorer doesn't have a fin like other players. Booo. Don't really care though, not keeping this save.
Yeah wow, that's great.

Keep the save anyway. You might find the ship you want and add it to your "fleet" later on. You can have up to 6 ships. I wish they would allow more, but in reality, you end up using only one anyway.
