I decided to start a new save and forgo the new expedition feature in the Anomaly. I feel like part of the fun is starting from scratch and finding shortcuts to get units, complete milestones, etc. Plus I often play my expedition saves even after the expedition is over.
I made it to Phase 3 before I quit playing today. Overall I like the expedition. Nothing has been particularly annoying but I guess that could change in the next phases.
How's it going for everyone else?
I ended up building out a base on Nash 33/W4 because I came across an S-Class Sodium spot and I liked the nearby cave system.
It's adjacent to a crashed freighter as well.
I'll keep expanding on it while I wait for the expedition to end so I can complete the main quests.
