I've played every NMS expedition and while there have always been a problem Communication Stations, it wasn't until this latest expedition that I felt like trolling was getting worse.

On the first day of the expedition, I claimed a spot at the 2nd rendezvous system around some Runaway Mould, built a small base, and uploaded it. I slowly kept adding to the base over time, especially once I completed the expedition. So far I've had at least 8 different people build on top of it, which means I have to report their bases just so I can walk around my own. While I've had some people build close to my base, I have never had anyone literally build on the same spot, much less multiple people.

It stinks that Hello Games isn't doing a better job of making sure bases can't overlap, but it stinks even more that people take advantage of it.

I've converted a system in Euclid into a Stasis Device factory. I've built a base on every planet with a local Mineral, Gas, and Flora. Each base has Refiners and access to Storage.

Feel free to stop by if you're low on Units.

Remember to turn off Multiplayer before emptying the Supply Depots.

Looking not unlike the Batplane

Has anyone still in the Liquidator Expedition managed to get one of the new insect helmets by killing a Vile Queen? I've seen people on YouTube do it with Normal saves, but I am wondering the Expedition saves are bugged (pun intended). I've been farming for a while and gotten nothing. Maybe I'm just unlucky.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Did you keep playing once you completed the Omega Expedition?

I decided to build out my base on Nash 33/W4. It has an S-Class Sodium mine and all of the crops except NipNip. It is mostly built with stone with some prefab structures.

I actually hit the base part limit and had to back off so it could still be uploaded.

It's built into the nearby landscape...

A portion of the base is under ground but I did not use the Terrain Manipulator so I don't have to worry about it filling in later...

It sits across from a crashed freighter...

Now, I will probably take a break for a little bit until the next major update.

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?
