No Man's Sky Adventures - Bank Holiday Weekend - COTA (Cult of the Atlas) May 2019 - Captian Steve NMSA Progress

Hello Chum's,

This bank holiday weekend I worked on a new channel trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls7HArvTdbo



The start of this new trailer has me taking my helmet off in game.
I made this segment using Photoshop and Flash.

I created a GIF and shared this on Discord in the COTA contest for media.



To find out more about the Cult of the Atlas (COTA) watch this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrH8eXfS54pTkmPDL7kU_m5Ax3e6nZxMN

(One video from the playlist, also created this bank holiday weekend).

I have also grown to 720 subscribers, very happy.

Captain’s Log 23082018:
All previous log entries I have deleted, I have asked Exo to remove all entries…
For those reading who know not who Exo is… Exo is an Artificial Intelligence, grafted to my Exo suit, I named this A.I as Exo, their real name is Talamon… a mouthful, hence the rename.
And I name you the reader(s) as Chums…
I requested a reboot to the Euclid Universe, without the memory wipe the Atlas would normally gift one with… Ah… you don’t know who or what the Atlas is, well Chums, I don’t either really.
All I know is what Exo has told me, and that is The Atlas created a simulation, that simulation started to fail, corruption, The Atlas then made a version of the creator of the Atlas, and placed it into a virtual like body known as an anomaly, I am that anomaly and Exo was brought online to assist me.
Assist me in scanning and exploring this vast universe and understand the reason behind the corruption, what that source is still remains a mystery… technically The Atlas is Exo’s boss, and my creator…however I am also the creator of The Atlas, so to hades with it, I will call myself Captain.

Exo wishes me to make an entry here that they don’t recognize that title… he will call me Steve… He also wishes to point out he is neither male nor female, but doesn’t mind me calling him a he…

Right, well a reboot means I am back at square one, a new arrival, with a busted up crud ship called Radiant Pillar BC1…. Trust me there is nothing radiant about it.
Yet… right now I can’t find the dang thing… And my Exo suits environment systems are half fueled on a scorching hot planet, fun times Chums…


YouTube: No Man's Sky | [NMSA] | New Game Taking Off - Log SE03 EP01

I have to find some Sodium and quick, however my scanner is shot to shite… I have to repair that using some ferrite dust… Oh the fun…

I have approx. 5mins to do all this else I die on this Dante’s Inferno type hellhole.

My mining laser runs hot far too quickly, it’s a race against time, I get the scanner up and running with fractions of seconds remaining, I take critical heat damage just as a stumble across Sodium.  Exo is confident I will live, rates my chances in the high 90’s, this raises my confidence.
I find my ship… broken and battered.

I have to get the Engines online before I can venture into yonder and get off this planet Chums…  Wondering if the BC on the end of the ships name stands for Broken Crap…

I also come across the Atlas interface, and gain a note from the boss:

I gather the materials I need and Get the Radiant Pillar BC1 to lift off… no sooner than I do, I gain a message… 

It tells me I am not alone… and nothing more…
I head to the space station, and take a rest, here ends my log for today Chums.

Captain’s Log 24082018:
Hello there Chums, I start my day in a strange old machine working on how I look…

I settle on a Red and Black looking little number… Sort of says “don’t mess with me, I look like I own a super bike!”…

Totally bad arse….

The station is full of alien’s, or am I the alien???
They look at me like I am…  I don’t stick around long, I hop back into my ship, as we have what might be the origins of the communication I gained telling me I am not alone to track down. 


It’s on frosty ice world… I land, hesitant to venture out of the ship, I don’t like the cold Chums…


The log is marked with 16 / 16 / 16

It would appear I can now build a base… on this Glacial Moon, sounds much nicer than it is… that sounds romantic, but it’s really isn’t... It’s fricken cold… could do with some elemental modules that negate icicles forming in my pants.

However… limited on options and following Exo’s instructions I build a base, it’s far from awesome and I build a blue print analyser… the base does a good job at keeping out the elements… the icicles thaw out, hurray for none ice cubed testicles Chums.

No Man's Sky | [NMSA] | Blueprint Analyser - Log SE03 EP02


I dig up a few salvaged modules...

I then sleep on the floor, in my loving crafted shed of a base… I could tell you what I hoped to dream about, but then this log would become adult-rated, so I shall adapt this part slightly, I hoped to dream of where this communication originated, is it another traveler, one well-endowed with great assets, able to help me find meaning among the stars.  I shall end this entry here, until the morrow Chums.

Captain’s Log 25082018:
I awake, and go out again looking for buried tech, and I gain the blue print for a mini portal to get me from the base to the station with ease and a save point… before I can build them though I gain an incoming transmission…. I have to venture back into space, I head into space and I am asked to speak to a life form to gain the message, very odd !!


Before I took off though I gained an award a new mile stone, for walking !!

In the Space station I come across a Korvax that seems to have been hacked with the transmission, very bizarre.
I gain life sign signals to follow out in the vastness of space, with very few units I am left to having to craft items. 

I see a multi-tool that is over 1million units… WOW… that’s crazy, 1million units seems impossible at this stage.


Launch thruster fuel seems to be my main concern right now, I am getting through at a pretty alarming rate and it costs a fair bit from the trade terminal.  Will have to add a new multi-tool to my Christmas list… hope Exo is listening. 


No Man's Sky | [NMSA] | Warp Drive and Fuel - Log SE03 EP03 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb6FzQCItEU


I track the distress signal to a planet in this very system, to a crashed freighter….

I select to Request the Log…. 

Microprocessors, sure I saw those for sale for oodles of units at the station… feel I may have a grind on my hands soon.
I can refine the Chromatic Metal, just need copper….

I gain new co-ordinates, however I feel I should get this Hyper drive installed.
I try earning units by scanning fauna, I discovered all on a planet, gave me nanites, not units, sure nanites will come in handy, but for now units are what I am after… Gained another Milestone:


Naturalist kind of sounds slightly rude, won’t be running around as nature intended on this frozen planet that’s for sure… bet if I did I would have earned a whole different mile stone.


I found Albumen pearls, loads of them, in Humming Eggs, and they fetch a fair few units and are easy to find and harvest, think I have found my Golden Egg’s here Chums. 
(Not to be confused with Whisper Eggs Chums)

Whispering eggs contain some nasty monsters according to Exo… Hummm… I want to find a Whispering egg now…

I also feel mining some asteroids and gaining gold to sell will help me reach enough units.
After an hours work I buy the Circuit boards.

Now to get the Copper.
Back to my base on New Amuel, and I harvest the Copper I need to refine into the Chromatic Metal.

I install the warp drive, the nears an end Chums, I launch into space, gain a new transmission, I need fuel for the new Warp drive, and this signal appears to be in the same system at an eerie abandoned building.

I venture inside…
And hey presto, like the universe read my mind I am gifted with Antimatter, just what I need to fuel my new drive… phew…
And then new message…

 Humm… starting to doubt this is a female traveler, it says US, as in plural… Well there is only one of me to go around… And ends off….
What is this 16 16 16 all about?

I gained the Blue print for the casing to put the fuel in… it’s like I am being guided, almost like I am in some kind of simulation tutorial…

I know I am in a simulation… but this almost feels like I am in a computer game, not some sort of complex matrix of the universe…

Think Exo is holding information from me Chums !!
(I have seen Space Odyssey don’t always trust an AI).

I sleep in the Radiant Pillar… one day I will craft a bed… I end the log here for now. 


Captain’s Log 26082018:
I fuel the warp drive, and open the galactic map and jump to a new system.

As soon as I do I pick up the 16 / 16 / 16 signal, on yet another Icey planet…

Why oh why can’t the planet be a paradise planet, or one with beaches and awesome fauna and flora…

Hey hoe, away we go Chums.

And that signal takes me to another Korvax entity that gives me a Blue Print.
I buy the main items I need, and craft enough to refuel to jump to another system.

This system, is a Vy’Keen system… and as soon as I do I gain an incoming broadcast:


I accept and route is given, a scolding planet, the fun I am having, out of the freezer and into the microwave, like a ready meal…. Exo wonders if this might be Artemis.

And we land at a Monolith, oh ad this planet is an extreme sentinel planet… Learn some Vy’Keen words, and interact with the Monolith… I am asked a strange question:


I select It is Friend
Followed by Both



No Man’s Sky | [NMSA] | Following the 16 16 16 Signal - Log SE03 EP04

I then get this message... another odd one,...



Well l I think that is enough for today, all this warping around has me dizzy.
Captain’s Log 27082018:

I continue on with my mission. 


No Man's Sky | [NMSA] | Lucky Day While Speaking to 30 Aliens for Polo - Log SE03 EP05

A space anomaly appears, I know that it contains Polo and Nada, however they won’t know that I know that they don’t know my mind hasn’t been wiped… hope that makes sense…

Polo, the Gek, asks I meet 30 aliens.

And Nada, the Korvax, offers to upload my milestones.

I have only met 5 alien’s so far… so I head off to look for more, station’s and trading posts are my best bet Chums.  I jump to a new system after visiting this sectors station.


A upon entering a new system I stumble across a freighter in need of help, I assist by taking out the pirates attacking it, and board to speak to the captain who gives me the freighter for free !!

I name her The Fox.
Has cute ears and is red like a fox.



I head to a station, and start speaking to the different races, and I come across a Vy’Keen who offers me a free multi-tool, it’s a bit broken, but I can fix that in time.
It’s not even my birthday and I got two free gifts…. Luck normally comes in 3’s.
I learn the 30 words and head back to Polo.
And here comes the 3rd luck free gift:

Hazmat Gloves, I can now pick the farming materials I need…. I was only just saying I wanted a pair… J

This has been a super lucky day Chums!!

Ending off for today.



Captain’s Log 28082018:
Today I spent most of time crafting the Hazmat gloves 

Took me sometime to gain and refine the materials I needed. 


I did give Polo some more data and he gave me a gift !!

Atlas Pass V1, I can open basic doors and containers with this !!


No Man's Sky | [NMSA] | Hazmat Gloves - Log SE03 EP08

I need these gloves for farming mainly, very handy gloves.


I picked some odd pearls… and the Sentinels got pretty upset…

I escaped them, but it did make me realize that I need to upgrade my Exo-suit and my multi-tool.

I make a portable refiner by a drop pod, and I craft the materials I need to expand my Exo-Suite’s storage, and I make and install the Hazmat Gloves.

And I end of Log.



Captain’s Log 28082018:
Well… it’s still the same day…. And I still have the energy of a Mexican tunnel digger, just as well as I am given a task to earn 500,000 units by Polo.

I do gain a few milestones for gaining Units as I do this and I upgrade my Exo-Suit a little.

I also gain an advanced mining laser for my Multi-Tool.

No Man's Sky | [NMSA] | 5000,000 Units for Polo - Log SE03 EP09

I feel I could earn units sending frigates on missions from my freighter… but I don’t have a command room in my freighter, so I build one, and send my one frigate out on a mission Chums.

Humm… I would like to have at least one star higher than the mission, good chance my Frigate will get smashed up.

And the mission will take an hour, not great for my video log… so I head to a relic site and dig up some buried shizzle, this stuff sells for a fair bit.

I also farm Albumen Pearls, I then sell all this and make the 500k that I need for Polo.

And he gave me an Economy Scanner for my ship.

Ending off the Log for the day now Chums.




Captain’s Log 29082018:

I head back to Polo to see if he has finished analyzing the data to find he has, and he has another task for me, we wants me to down star ships… doesn’t specify what kind, just any… Myself, I opt to take down Sentinel ships.

I have a cunning plan Chums, fly down to a planet, upset a sentinel, and fly into space to bring the Sentinel ships to me without having to be a galactic upset and lower my status with a race.

Doing this gives some pretty cool items you can use to boost chances of success on frigate missions.

These Sentinels are pretty fancy flyers, but I seem to be able to outgun them.  Once you shoot one down, fly back into the planet’s atmosphere, and the wanted level returns to one, then fly back up and fight another, rinse and repeat Chums.

Horrah !!!!

No Man's Sky | [NMSA] | Sentinel Ship Farming (Polo Mission 15 ships destroyed) - Log SE03 EP10

I return to Polo who gives me a personal force field for my multi-tool.

I tried using it, and felt slightly underwhelmed, yeah, it looks cool, but if I upgrade my main shields I doubt I would ever use it.

Could do with a Bolt Caster upgrade…

Oh well, maybe next time.

I use the modules I gained to send out a few Frigate Missions, will show this another time Chums.

I am signing off for today....
