I just recently got into NMS just before the Aquarius update. I’ve really enjoyed things so far, but I’m at a weird point now. Every one of my primary missions has some vague objective that I can’t actually complete. The story (as it is) seems to have completely stalled out. I’m left to repetitious side missions like the Base Computer Archives and Settlers.

Is there anything else in terms of story, or am I on my own now? I just figured there would be some sort of resolution to Artemis, Atlas, or any of the really cool and interesting plots that seem to be going on here.

      Good to know. I’ve seen people online almost Stargating with this big teleporter and figured things would eventually resolve somehow. I suppose I just need to keep exploring!

      I’ve started a settlement, I have a freighter with a bunch of frigates. I have S or A class in every type of ship. I’ve done a could of derelict frigates. I’m still trying to customize my freighter, but man finding modules is hard! Haven’t found any glyphs yet though …

      I’m still planning on exploring and playing, I just wasn’t sure if I did something wrong in terms of the story. I think it’s super interesting and compelling, so when it just ended I was thrown for a loop.

          Sorry for the potato quality. These are all of my current missions and, for example, I have really nothing else to do to find Artemis (even though I haven’t. Last thing was them sending me some coordinates to a signal tower). I’ve spent just so many nanites on blueprints and I’ve done 1 Nexus mission, but it wasn’t with another player because I play at weird times and have only ever seen someone in the Nexus once.

          To fill things out, my objective for Ghosts in the Machine is “collect nanites to buy technology upgrades” which I’ve done a bunch, and for Atlas Eternal it’s “find a wonder to show the Atlas” which I’ve done a few times with no change (this one feels just like the Base Computer Archives mission that just keeps sending me to the same place over and over).

      I could use those tips on resolving the big quests. I thought they didn’t end for years.

    Do whatever you want. I like setting goals for myself like building stasis chamber farms, maxing equipment, getting all the techs, building beautiful bases, collecting rare ships, etc.

    I honestly don’t really remember the main quest progression (I last did it a really long time ago), but I think there were a couple of steps that were time or exploration/research gated…

    I can say that the story of Artemis has an ending, you should probably just try go on and research some Archive related things on the Base computer or jump around to new systems

    As a general rule, IMHO, to really enjoy it you should treat NMS as a sandbox game that happens to have a story that sometimes pops up

    If you’ve been through the center of the Galaxy, now you’re on your own. There is no further resolution.

    Now, you’re there to explore and experience.

    There are more story elements, but they are told in a much more subtle way. There’s lots to discover.

      Haven’t been to the center of the galaxy yet. I made the Heart of the Sun for Atlas, but then it just wants wonders. I’ve done this about 5 times and it just keeps repeating.

    Yeah for some reason most of the quests never actually the o away, they just have vague messages as the objective when they’re done.
