No Man’s Sky



Got a Battle Computer component for my freighter this week, so that gives my missions +15% Expedition Defenses.

Had the first frigate mission ever, that didn’t cost any fuel.

I usually send two support vessels with each mission to make sure the fuel cost is as low as possible.

I only have two or three frigates that aren’t at S-Class level yet, but they are getting there. After i get all of them to S-Class, i’m gonna try to optimize them with regard to fuel cost. Anything else can be balanced out with items and traits, but fuel cost is a tough one to deal with.

I’m storing all my salvaged goods and not selling them, at least for now, so I can get some to fuel my next expedition, same with the nanite items.

I still haven’t scrapped my ship from the last expedition i played, i got to take all the tech out of it and then do that.

Slowly working on getting my black sentinel ship’s tech and cargo slots expanded.

Same goes for the staff multi tool from the expedition.

Wednesday
Found a really good tech module for the pulse on April Pvd. It was so good that when I went looking for living frigates I actually got over 12 minutes pulse time which is crazy. I wish I had duped it before I used it so I spent a good 45 minutes trying to find a similarly good one.



It’s allowed me to pulse for over 12 minutes. I use the dupe thing to make multiples and then put some in a supercharged slot so I can go and go.

Thursday



I found this beauty on April Pvd on the flat screen and now I’m getting ready to bring in Sebastian and Epril to get her as well. I’ve gotten obsessed. at one point I got to the living frigate I want it on Sebastian on the flat screen, and I went to take a screenshot, but I accidentally hit the spacebar and pulsed away and no matter how many times I tried and that system I couldn’t get it to come back. So I think you only get one tribe per system. Just to be sure I jumped to another system and tried and I did get a forget, but it was an a class and not an S class. I don’t think I need to be so obsessed about getting an S class because they were all change as they are sent out they will develop into the next class but I’ve gotten addicted to finding the ones that are shown in YouTube videos and on Reddit.

Friday


Did some more farming for a living frigates.

Saturday

Found out that you can dismiss a pet by clicking on the same button. I feel really sad about this because I had often gotten in and out of ships and taken off from a planet because I just wanted to dismiss it. I didn’t wanna call another one. I just wanted to dismiss it and now I found it all I gotta do is go back to the same button and press dismiss and the pet goes away so that was that was really neat to find out.

Decided to work on my living ships

April Pvd went to all of her settlements and actually did some quest with her staff, the engineers and the multitool people and worked on some EXO crafts

Sunday


Decided to work on the sentinel weapons that I had gotten. I use the copy of the multitool that I got from the expedition basically got all the tech modules out of it and then put it in the different multi tools so they could be up-to-date and I also named some of these because it was getting confusing, which ones were which. For some reason when I switched them out in In on the flat screen, I can’t see them. They just show a little shadow instead of the actual picture. I tried upping the graphic session in the same thing happened. I’m gonna try it on my gaming laptop because this is what happens when I’m on my Macintosh Pro so it might just be the computer.

I have towers in all three of my settlements, but the first time I tried to use it in the VR they would crash my game. I decided to try to see if they had fixed it and they have.

No Man's Sky | Tips & Tricks | All About Bobbleheads! | Breach 6.1 | 2026

Spent some time falling around with bobble heads in the game. It was interesting. I just like the way they look on the dashboard.


How Organic Frigates Work in No Man's Sky.

Always wanted to figure out how to feed my living frigate so I watched this video and hopefully I’ll learn something. Especially since I have so many. but first I had to debrief them.

Had AprilPvd logged in in space so the other characters could join and look for LF and forgot she was on on the gaming laptop. When I went back she was in an abandoned space station and her Living ship was damaged with no cargo.

 day all.. Kep here! 


Sadly Legion Remix ended on in the early hours of January the 20th (EU). 


So Legion Remix was an event where you start in an alternative timeline. It’s basically the Legion expansion (with changes) as a stand a lone event. It’s fast paced and your character can become very OP! 


I took annual leave from work (a Wowcation) so I can play as much as possible and level as many Alts as possible! My final count was 24 Alts levelled from 10 to 80! 

By the end of the event my main character (an Earthen Horde Paladin) was very OP! I enjoyed tanking in Raids and Dungeons and soloing things easily in the Heroic tier was fun too! I managed to collected pretty much everything except a few toys, which I’m not really bothered about collecting. 


I am very much missing the event, it was great fun and a fantastic experience to play! I loved it from start to finish! I cannot wait to see which expansion they decide to Remix next! 


These last few weeks I have collected various mounts, mostly from Legion [some screen shots attached]. 


The Midnight pre-patch was released and (as per usual) it broke everything! They have implemented a new transmog system, which is sort of a bit confusing at first.. but like everything you get used to it after a few days. The new Void spec for Demon Hunters (Devourer) has been released. I am not sure if I will try it as I’m not much of an Elf player.. 


I am thinking of checking out the Housing system this week. They have implemented a new system called “Endeavours”, where you have to complete various tasks to unlock more rewards. I am not 100% on how it all works, yet.. 


Anyway.. hope you are all well and enjoying all the various games?! 


Take care all 

Kep
