The run energy changes - I think it’s worth rebalancing but I just hope they don’t change it so much that you can sprint through the early game. I feel like a big part of getting attached to the world is plodding your way through it at the beginning.
Character screen (where you switch your gear and weapons), menu on the bottom left if memory serves. Should have your cyberdeck, health item, and grenade/cyberwear (like optimal camo) all in that area.
Yes consumables are on a recharge system now. Finding/buying/crafting say, a particular legendary grenade is a big deal now, as it becomes a permanent part of your arsenal.
Personally I’m all for the change since it removes the whole “I’ll save this for when I really need it but never actually use it” temptation. Plus more choices about how to spend resources.
Just dropping a comment because I’m curious too. This happened to me last night in the expedition, latest patch. Portaled from one station to another, gained like 4 outlaw rep and lost 7 gek.
Just FYI - ammo doesn’t weigh anything. I didn’t notice this for quite a while. If you have some cash go by a couple of gun/ammo shops and just buy out like, all of it. Pretty quickly you’ll get to the point where you have plenty of ammo for any gun you pick up. IMO the upfront cost is super worth not having to worry about having ammo for one gun or the other.
Thanks for the tips! I completely forgot about the mission boards. That sounds like the best way to specifically take on some space combat missions. I’ll keep an eye out for those scanner activity points too though.
It SEEMS so, but they also don’t have any HDR options and no way to tweak brightness so even if it’s technically “on” it doesn’t look right. I bought it from the Xbox store for pc/Xbox cross saves so I may experiment with it on the series x tomorrow. I just don’t want to choose between high frame rate and HDR.
This is most likely just coping, but I’m thinking MAYBE the big day 1 patch might fix this stuff? It’s pretty close to false advertising to list HDR10 on the msft store and have it simply not be there on the platform I primarily bought it for.
Not in this case. I’m using a 3090 and an LG C2 OLED, both extremely competent for HDR games. In fact I’m not sure if I’ve played anything this year that didn’t support it (outside of a few indie games).
There’s simply no option to enable it in settings, and it doesn’t kick on automatically. This TV will also flash an HDR logo if it gets an HDR signal, and very obviously kick into that mode.
I just want to see enough folks from some of the gaming communities move over: (Most of these have small communities already, I just want growth!)

Really any game with a fun online community, these are just a few of the ones I enjoy.
Just my take - if you’re planning on playing the same save file for 100s of hours like some people (myself included) the minor bonuses and ‘flex’ factor of an s class freighter can be worth it. For any normal ‘I’m going to play for a while and then move on’ save it’s absolutely not worth it and you shouldn’t worry.
Without save scumming, freighter events occur every 3 hours ish of active play. At a roughly 2% chance in T3 systems that’s 150 hours on AVERAGE. That assumes you’re also warping to a new eligible system every time that internal clock is running out. The only realistic way to get one is the reload method that others have mentioned. It’s up to you whether or not you go that route, I just wanted to emphasize that you really shouldn’t count on ever finding one naturally.
P.s. I think it goes up to 5% in pirate systems but the storage and tech slots are drastically reduced, so it’s kind of a wash time wise since bulkheads are time intensive to acquire.
I just resub’d today since the mgp event is going on. Played the MSQ from start to finish (vanilla to endwalker) during the wow exodus period before dropping off for some single player stuff. Maxed all of my crafting and gathering jobs but never did much that would be called difficult.
Thinking I might have to learn a new job and finally give some of the raids and trials I never did a try.
Oh interesting, sounds pretty good to me. Didn’t realize some details had already been discussed. I do kind of like that idea that was raised a while back about like “resting” in bars to regen energy. Create little social hubs for early game players to congregate. Maybe make energy a bit worse early, but offer a way to recharge - just thinking out loud.
