It’s a wise idea to recruit frigates that you’ve got the option to send on expeditions.
This meanseasy work for fantastic profits.
First, though, you’ll need to buy yourself some frigates and fill out your fleet.
We’ve got you covered, though.
you might buy them from other freighters around space.
When you’re flying around a system,you’ll sometimes notice large freighters that spawn in.
If there are some green nav points around the freighter,they’ve got some frigates for sale.
Open up communication with the captain of the frigate, andthey’ll offer to join your fleet.
From here,you’re able to view the frigate and all of its qualities.
Here is what all the things on this screen mean:
OrganicorLiving Frigates are acquired differently from regular frigates.
Living Frigates arefound randomly while pulsing through space after constructing a Dream Aerial.
Hiring an Organic Frigate is also expensive, with prices ranging from 7,500,000 to 62,500,000 units.
About Stats and Ranks
The stats and rank of a frigateindicate how it will perform during expeditions.
Here’s when each rank-up occurs:
So, let’s use thefrigate pictured above as an example.
The base stat total for this frigate is 8.
Remember,the range of base stat totals is -5 to 14, so this frigate is fairly decent.
Additionally, as it ranks up, it will also improve.
Stats are not the only thing to consider, though.
Watch for frigates with good positive traits and at least halfway decent stats.
In other words,an exploration specialist will still benefit from numbers in combat, industrial, or trade.
Each of them also has another bonus, outlined below.
There is another key in of expedition called “Balanced.”
These expeditions are not associated with one specific frigate throw in.
For these,send a mix of the different specializations.
No Man’s Sky Frigate Expeditions
Sending frigates on an expedition is easy and pretty straightforward.
The first thing you’ll need to do isbuild a Fleet Command Room on your Freighter.
Enter thebuildable base sectionof your Freighter and fire up the base building menu.
A Fleet Command Room costs the following materials to build:120 Silver,40 Gold,10 Tritium.
Next,head down to the cockpit of your fighter.
When selecting an expedition, you’ll notice it has a star rating.
You’ll need one for each ongoing expedition.
Fuelling Frigates
to send your fleet on expeditions,you’ll need to fuel the frigates.
When selecting an expedition, it will show you how much fuel the selected frigates will consume.
No Man’s Sky now offerscustomizable difficulty options that allow you to ignore the fuel requirements of frigates.
There arethree separate Frigate Fuel recipes, each of which is the same but in varying amounts.
However, support specialist frigates themselves use fuel, soit’s often better to use them for shorter expeditions.
Sending support frigates on a longer expedition can increase the total fuel the expedition fleet uses.
Be sure to review an expedition’s fuel costs carefully before sending support frigates with a fleet.
On the left-hand side of this tech tree, you’ll see the Fuel Oxidiser.
You’ll be given the option to call it back from the mission.
Other decisions can involve taking an unplanned detour to explore strange space phenomena.
Some might evenrequest assistance fending off a pirate attack.
Yourchoices will impact the outcome and rewardsoffered on frigate expeditions.
Travelers can finally make their own custom ship in No Man’s Sky: Orbital.
