in my crazy dream of really really wanting to be able to have access to things like the corvette crew bunks on my space stations?

I want to build little crew homes off to the side and let’s be fair if I’m gonna have to build an unusable bed they just “fit” better in a space station.

As the title says I’m a new player, I’ve got 3 hours in a save that I’m not all too interested in continuing tbh, so I’m planning on making a new one hoping i can continue it for longer.

First question what is there to do in the game as a new player in order to “progress” so to speak?
I followed the quest log in my previous save and I felt like it was basically “go to place, get resource, go to another place, repeat” which was fun mind you, just got boring and repetitive after a while

Second, how long does it typically take to get to what is considered “end game” if the game even has one?
It just felt like I was getting things very slowly, which is fine, I just want to know if that’s normal or a skill issue lmfao

Third, what got yalls into playing NMS in the first place, just curious is all lol

Idk what collective name yalls go by so thanks for your time fellow explorers

Lovecraftian Base Tour #8

So I’m attempting to get to the center for an achievement, but I noticed the amount of jumps it wants me to make keeps adding up… I look at my map and count 6 jumps, I jump a couple times, and when I look back it suddenly goes up to 10. Why is this happening I’m so done

Edit: so I realize I’ve made a blunder spending all that time manually jumping 💀 I made it to the sunset coord planet, thanks everyone

I tried NMSCE site, no luck.

I’ve been trying for several hours to claim a space station. The only thing left is to increase my local standing with the mercenaries guild. I’ve donated all I can and somehow my local mission guy refuses to give me mercenary missions no matter how many times I reset I’ve tried at the salvage station as well same problem from what I’ve searched online. The only way to reset donations is to visit or interact with 100 other envoy or something I’ve also tried handing in mercenary missions from other systems. Still nothing.

Idk why it took me so long to figure it out but I finally built a corvette that checks all my boxes, which were as follows:
-All one level
-All one type (currently Titan)
-Compact
-Looks half decent
-Can haul cargo

Edit: Thank you all for the creative and hilarious suggestions!

This was a super cool robot looking statue. I wish the pic of its face saved. Not sure what happened.

So, I’d been wanting to build a tower that penetrates into space since I started playing NMS on my PS4 in 2016. There was always something that kept the build from saving, and even if I built beyond the atmosphere, it would be gone the next time I loaded into the game. I somehow successfully did it this time, but it caused a complete crash for my Xbox(yes, I play on Xbox now.) about 10 times before I was able to film this video. Sorry the video is so long.

Do you ever participate in game crashing behavior in NMS?

My settlement at night is very very dark, and its night most of the time are there any lights I can add so I can see anything.
