Do the Community Expeditions. They only come around once in a while, and there should be one currently active for a little while longer. You get good stuff with them, and this one in particular is especially good, imo.
Just create a new save. They are set up so that you will get upgrades and inventory slots as you go. When you’re done, you can then roll it into a normal save with everything you collected and unlocked. Great way to jumpstart the game and get cool loot!
Awesome. Don’t wait too long or feel intimidated. Despite the name, you can play them entirely solo, and they’re great introductions to the mechanics of the game. You don’t need to “get used to” the game beforehand; just jump right into one!
Also, there’s only two weeks left, and it might take you the full two weeks to get through it, since you’re new. Worth it, though! Also, feel free to contact me if you need help.
Yeah! Don’t skip out. There’s always free stuff that’s often very cool and unique.
ETA: and I do recommend turning on the setting so you can see user bases (which can show up even if you turn off multiplayer). People who start early will often make helpful bases to boost players along.
FYI, you don’t need to set up a new save for the expeditions if you’ve started a Normal save and want to keep that one going. Just join the expedition at the anomaly and you can switch in and out of it as much as you want.
The anomaly becomes available once you reach the ability to travel to another system. After that, while in space, press down on the D-pad and left until you see the entry to call it. It’ll then spawn in front of you.
Its basically a multi-player hub (I like to go gaze at other people’s cool ships, but with access to upgrades and a portal, as well as a station to join an expedition.

Thank you! I started a ‘normal’ game last night but I’ll look into starting a Community Expedition soon.

Huh, TIL - I’ve played NMS on and off for years, but never tried the community expeditions as I just prefer solo gaming. Will need to check them out!

Ah ok, I haven’t gotten to the anomaly yet.
