For begginers I recommend using only units of 50 tonnes, to keep your fuel using only a single inventory slot at a time.

This all happens within your freighter inventory. If a mission needs 50 tonnes, and you have a unit of 200 tonne, it will use the 200 tonne, and give you back a 100 tonne and a 50 tonne. When using fuel for missions, it works like a currency. You can start right off making and selling these to finance your early fleet. These are cheap to make, and worth a LOT of money early on. One unit of 200 tonnes is identical to four units of 50 tonnes. They are functionally identical and there is no cost or usage difference. But, they send fighters to help when you are attacked by pirates!Īnd Exploration ships say something about "Still charging up the Artifact Scanner." I have no idea what that's about.įuel: "These Ships must run on pure Credits!!!"įirst off, as part of the new quests you got for getting started with missions, you get 3 blueprints for Fuel. 100 magnetized Ferrite is enough fuel to recharge your Terrain Manipulator FIVE times! Don't bother with dust or carbon on their own unless absolutely necessary, it's a waste.Ĭombat ships don't give any resources. Now if you don't yet know, higher tier resources recharge MUCH more efficiently. Industrial ships give Magnetized Ferrite! That's right, 1-2 trade ships and you should never have to refine any again! Land on your frigates landing pad to collect up to 100 of a given resource, which refreshes in as little as 20 min! That means you can collect 100 before you dock with your freighter, and most likely, another 100 when you leave. Something a lot of people seem unaware of, just by having certain frigates parked in your fleet, they will automatically accumulate resources for you when not on missions. Now, before we even get to missions, let's talk about: Exploration, Trading, Industrial, Combat, and the jack of all trades Support class. (If you are not yet aware, 1-2 milion units in NMS IS very cheap.Ĭlasses are fairly self explanatory, each class excelling at it's related stat. It's up to you whether you want to risk it or not, but 'healthy' C class frigates are cheap enough to pass on any with negative stats. Now, as far as I can tell, those negative stats will disappear as part of the leveling up progress. The one important thing you should be aware of when buying any frigate is Negative stats! Each ship will have some random bonuses, if one of those bonuses is red it gives a negative value.

Trust me, it's worth it, they are super cheap and will pay for themselves a hundred times over. So you won't be stuck with C classes forever if you just want to buy in now.

NO MANS SKY FLEET UPGRADE
But don't worry, Frigates will upgrade as you send them on missions. It is very rare, but possible (try higher economy systems), to find a frigate higher than class C. Open communications with them when you get close to see stats and cost.įrigates come in five varieties, with four basic stats, classed C, B, A and S. Flying up to another freighter fleet you may get a few green icons for frigates you can hire (Not all fleets have hireable frigates). Follow the newly unlocked freighter questline to be able to send it on missions.Īlong with your starter frigate, you are now able to buy new frigates. Once you have a Freighter, you should get a random starter frigate as well. Just know it exists if you like that kind of thing. There is an exploty method of rerolling this freighter for better stats, but I'm not going to share it here. If you defeat all the pirates, accept the communication from the freighter captain, then dock with the freighter, they will give it to you for FREE! If things go according to plan, one of the first few systems you warp to will have a battle going on between a freighter and some pirates. I'm sure someone else has written some of this, but this sub is so active now things get buried pretty fast.īefore you can get your first frigate, you must of course have a freighter.

I don't know everything, so feel free to correct any information I may have gotten wrong. I haven't seen a lot of information shared about this, so I thought I'd write up a little guide with some tips about frigates.
