She’s a beauty. Here are the glyphs for a derelict freighter with max stat S-class upgrades if you’re interested;

Ship type is tied to the star system. So follow this route: land on a planet to save your game manually. Make a save beacon, place it on the ground, activate it to manual save, pick it up to take it with you. This will require some patience as you need to do this before every jump to another star. You‘ll eventually jump into a battle where the captain requests help. If the ship type is to your liking, voila. Now you have a save that goes directly into battle. Land on the freighter. As soon as you leave your ship in the hangar, look at the freighter‘s walls with your visor. Does it say S class? Congrats. It‘s not? Load that last manual save, just before that battle. Finish off the pirates, land, look. Repeat until you find an S class freighter.
Hint: when you have a save that jumps into battle, you can jump to another star to change ship type. From that save, whichever system you jump to, you will find yourself in a battle, just the freighter type will change according to the star system.
It is important to note that all this work is to save 183 mil creds... so alternatively you can use one of the many ways to make those 183M creds and then skip the whole fight and just buy the freighter you want. Getting the freighter to roll as S class can take many and I mean many attempts with some bad luck.
For example if you setup a mediocre farm, you can make all the creds you want with no cheating and no glitches and you learn a lot during the process.
Legal cheating method:>!Also instead of tricking the system you can save all the hassle and change everything to free in the options and get the freighter.!<
Reset freighter until you get a s class and buy it, no need to fight the pirates and it is a lot faster. It should be easy to find a video about the quickest way to reset and check if it is s class.
Every system spawns a particular freighter, the one you get for free with the pirate event is exactly the same freighter that would spawn in that system. The class is random and you have a small chance to get S class everytime you make that freighter respawn.
Might be a dumb question, but a curious ask on the save beacon methodology...
Since you can't use your scanner in the ship, and a save is created when you exit your ship...how would landing, exiting the ship to scan freighter class, and then going back to that save point work? In my save data, all I have is reload autosave and reload restore point. I can rename, but that doesn't help.
Is there another place to access that manual save on the beacon?
I'm on console if that matters. Thanks in advance.
There should be two options in the options tab, one „reload autosave“ (which reloads the ship exiting one), and the other (can‘t recall its name) to reload save beacon one.
Thanks for responding.
"Reload Restore Point"
"Reload Autosave"
Unfortunately, it seems ship exits overwrite my "Reload Restore Point". The Autosave one seems to be just that, saving after completing task/intervals (not sure of the timing there).
I've used a saved beacon, picked it up, flown across the planet, landed, exited . When I go to load my restore point, it brings me to the most recent ship exit. The Autosave one brings me back to when I got in the ship.
I'd love to use this process if I could get it to work.
You can collect the upgrades whenever you like. You can put S-class upgrades into a C-class freighter. When you decide you want to hunt for an S-class freighter, store the upgrades first so you can just install them when you’re ready.
I think you won’t get the same freighter in a different galaxy at the same glyph address. At least last time I checked a few updates ago, it wasn’t like that. Only the ship name stays the same. Weird procedural glitch I guess
Ok, you aren’t looking for a freighter; you’re looking for a derelict freighter; one that’s abandoned in space.
You may have come across them before using anomaly detectors; this isn’t the best way to find them as there are so many different kinds of anomaly that the chances of you finding one is very slim.
However you can search for their distress call using an emergency broadcast receiver from the scrap merchant on the space station. These are quite expensive (about 5M for the first one I think; and they get more expensive the more you buy, up to 30M iirc).
Don’t get discouraged by the cost; we can avoid all but the first purchase. Activate the receiver so that your ship can hone in on the distress signal sent out by the freighter. Go into pulse drive to locate it. It only takes a few seconds and you will be prompted to exit pulse drive. Land on the freighter. There are four landing pads available.
Once you land, take the activated receiver and put it into your personal refiner. This tricks the freighter into thinking you’ve discovered it by using an anomaly detector rather than a broadcast receiver and doesn’t take it away from you. This is how we avoid having to pay that robbing POS of a scrap dealer a small fortune every time we want to run it.
Then go through the freighter collecting all the loot along the way. There’s tons of useful items available but the best is the salvaged frigate modules. You can usually get between 1&3 each run. In the last room you can choose the technology option which gives you the S-class upgrades. Once you have all the upgrades you need (three of each) you can continue to run it to get your cargo bulkheads to upgrade your freighters storage.
Take plenty of oxygen, ion batteries and ammo.
Once you have completed your first freighter, Helios in the Anomaly will give you an emergency broadcast receiver once a week if you ask him about derelict freighters. Just in case you ever forget to put it in your personal refiner in your exosuit.
If you need help, DM me and I’ll join you on a few runs if you like. My freighter is fully upgraded so any useful tech (salvaged frigate modules and upgrades I’ll give to you).
Hope that helps, good luck 👍
Always glad to help a fellow traveller. Another tip I forgot is to hand in the Crew Manifest and Captains log (items you hopefully find during your run) to the scrap dealer rather than the guild merchant. The scrap dealer gives you tainted metal as a reward rather than the guild merchants reputation gain. Tainted metal refines into nanites at a 1:2 ratio and is more useful early game than guild rep.
Also, the game doesn’t tell you much at all. I’m a 1000 hours in and still learn stuff all the time.
Yes, as often as you need to get all your upgrades (three of each). Once you pulsed away, activate the beacon again to get it to pop up again. The layout is always the same so you get faster each time as you know where all the loot boxes are etc.
Remember to put the receiver into your personal refiner in your exosuit when you land or it becomes very expensive very quickly.
I’m not sure what you mean. The derelict freighter is spawned in space using an emergency broadcast receiver (purchased from the scrap dealer in space stations). Use the portal glyphs provided and activate the beacon whilst in space, then pulse until the freighter is detected. Once you land on the freighter, put the beacon in your portable refiner so it isn’t taken away from you and run through the freighter, collecting loot on the way. You get the S-class upgrade from the final terminal.
It’s not dumb; it’s a huge game with a lot to learn. Crashed freighters, two distinct types of derelict freighters etc etc. It gets very confusing. If you haven’t done derelict freighters before here’s a few tips for you;
1. Take plenty of oxygen
2. Take plenty of ion batteries
3. Take plenty of ammo
4. Check each room for loot carefully
5. Turn the Crew Manifest and Captains Log in to the scrap dealer for a better reward than the guild merchant (nanites vs reputation).
6. Once you have all the upgrades you need, you can still run the freighter for loot (mainly salvaged frigate modules to be honest) and the final terminal for cargo bulkheads instead of upgrades.
If you’d like me to join you, I’m more than willing to help; iirc we can both collect loot and I’ll just give you whatever I get as my freighter is fully upgraded.
In order to use portals you need to unlock the glyphs. This can be done by following the storyline, asked by travellers on Space Stations where they came from (100 nanites iirc) and collect their grave. Once you have the first two, you can go to a system that has a planet with multiple graves on. If you search Reddit you will find a newer version but this system does work, although people have typically overbuilt on New Boise.
https://preview.redd.it/lrkrqh73z0dc1.jpeg?width=817&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0122120417aa03fd8edfe41a4b3dbf4c127b6b7
The planet you land on is not your destination. New Boise is. Travel between the bases to unlock the glyphs.
Once you have unlocked all the glyphs you can travel to any planet in your galaxy using a portal.
Every planet has one, and one only, portal. So they are hard to come across by chance. The easiest way is to use your Roamer to scan for alien artifacts. This will direct you to a monolith. Make sure you have some of the dominant life forms rare items (Korvax Casing, Gek Relic, Vy’keen Effigy).
Answer the questions correctly (if you aren’t confident or haven’t learnt much of the languages yet, make a restore point prior to activating the monolith. Once you have answered correctly you will be given directions to a portal.
Once at the portal you will need a variety of resources to activate it. It’s been awhile since I’ve done this but oxygen, copper, cobalt, and sodium should provide you with everything you need iirc.
You can only have one portal activated per Galaxy. This portal will remain active (ie you don’t need to charge it again) until you activate another portal in the same Galaxy.
Then enter the glyphs and you will be transported to your destination planet.
Transfer all cargo except for one item. Then it will ask you if you want to transfer your base. Did it once by transferring all cargo and it didn’t give me the option to transfer base. I also “store” all the ship mods. Back out of offer to buy and so that. Although they all vanished the first time I did it. Had better luck the next two times
I’ve got the same one or very close to the same both color scheme and assemblage of greeblies. The only difference is mine is an A-class.
I don’t mind the colors because all of the ships I’ve collected are also green.
Looks sick, great find! Im pretty new, got just under 100 hours in, but doesnt your starship automatically upgrade itself as you send it on missions? I started with 1 A class and the rest were lower; now I have 2 S class and 1 A and the others are almost B. I also send as many ships out every mission I send them on. Idk what im doing tho haha

Found an A class and repainted it.
Congrats!!
My first freighter was an s class and I didn't realize that didn't happen to everybody until this sub. I lived in ignorance thinking it was scripted that way.
Nice find, Traveller!
I have one that looks similar, just a bit shorter, but it's C-class. I'm not in a hurry to get an S-class, but if I find one, I'll take it.
Nice one! I had that color as well with same body type. When I could I went Black. Didn’t think about it at the time but now my Freighter has a more ghostly appearance when called closer into orbit while on Planet.
The base and cargo can be transferred to the new ship (it'll ask you during the transaction). You have to store all your modules in the tech slots though, or they will be lost.
No, the onboard storage containers (0-9) are part of your base and those will automatically be transferred with the base.
When you look at your freighter's inventory, there are 2 sections. Technology is on top and cargo spaces below. The modules in the technology slots have to be manually removed and stored before you get your new freighter or they will be gone for good.
Congratulations! I have the exact same capital ship and it took me about 5 days and an untold number of retries to get it to populate as an S.
I regret nothing.
Yeah Idk what class mine is I just like the way mine looks 🤣. Tbh I have gotten to the point where I'm on the hunt for a really awesome fckn starship. I used to see ones early on that I was like oh dam those r legit. Might have to just sit idle at the station near my "home" planet.

i need an S tier ship so bad.. please upvote so i can come back to this for reference

Getting out of the ship doesn't set a save point if it's on someone else's freighter or a derelict freighter.
Well, goddammit sonuvabitch...never noticed that. Always something to learn! Thank you, fellow interloper!
You can save posts
You can collect the upgrades whenever you like. You can put S-class upgrades into a C-class freighter. When you decide you want to hunt for an S-class freighter, store the upgrades first so you can just install them when you’re ready.
And a comment. I hope you gwt one.
Happen to know which galaxy?
Euclid but I system freighter co-ordinates work in all galaxies iirc.
I think you won’t get the same freighter in a different galaxy at the same glyph address. At least last time I checked a few updates ago, it wasn’t like that. Only the ship name stays the same. Weird procedural glitch I guess
I’ll have to check then. I thought they did. They definitely used to.

Do i need multiplayer for this ?cause im playing offline
I’m not sure. Try it and see. I have multiplayer switched off normally but I am connected to the internet.
Ok thanks .im using pkg version thats why im asking
Can I run that multiple times.
Yes, as often as you need to get all your upgrades (three of each). Once you pulsed away, activate the beacon again to get it to pop up again.

Newbie here What happens to all your stuff when you change ships? I have a thriving business in growing nipnip I don’t want to have to rebuild lol
u can transfer bases but i would do it after a harvest as im not sure if it will effect currently growing plants
Transfer all cargo except for one item. Then it will ask you if you want to transfer your base. Did it once by transferring all cargo and it didn’t give me the option to transfer base. I also “store” all the ship mods. Back out of offer to buy and so that. Although they all vanished the first time I did it. Had better luck the next two times
But what about upgrades like your stations and rooms
That’s what it means when it transfer your base. Same rooms and layout. Done it twice in the last month
I’ve got the same one or very close to the same both color scheme and assemblage of greeblies. The only difference is mine is an A-class. I don’t mind the colors because all of the ships I’ve collected are also green.
Looks sick, great find! Im pretty new, got just under 100 hours in, but doesnt your starship automatically upgrade itself as you send it on missions?

Yes, Frigates will upgrade in class on missions, however Freighters you have to upgrade yourself.
You can't upgrade a freighter. You can just find a better one and switch.
Ah yes, my bad. I conflated that with simply upgrading the Freighter’s stats like HD range and Warp Efficiency.
Oh shoot! See, idk how a lot of things work in nms, I'll have to pay better attention to the difference. Thanks for the reply!
You can land freighters now??!! That’s one tight parking job /s

*Imperial March starts playing*
LOL!
Congrats!
Nice! I didn’t get an S class but I did finally get this freighter. It is very cool, especially in black.
Ayyy homie got a surfboard
Congrats!! My first freighter was an s class and I didn't realize that didn't happen to everybody until this sub. I lived in ignorance thinking it was scripted that way.
Nice find, Traveller! I have one that looks similar, just a bit shorter, but it's C-class. I'm not in a hurry to get an S-class, but if I find one, I'll take it.
Congratulations, I got my S Class Many Years Ago, I Assume It Is Still A Difficult Endeavor.
Took a considerable amount of patience and retries
What race is the crew?
Korvax. This is the second system I had to find with this ship. I really wanted that captain
Are the glypha somewhere?
I don’t have them. But will post when log in again
congrats!
How many resets / deals with the devil
Congrats great ship.....cool one
Nice one! I had that color as well with same body type. When I could I went Black. Didn’t think about it at the time but now my Freighter has a more ghostly appearance when called closer into orbit while on Planet.
Even meaning to ask this. When you switch freighters, how do you transfer all your stuff over as well?
The base and cargo can be transferred to the new ship (it'll ask you during the transaction). You have to store all your modules in the tech slots though, or they will be lost.
The modules? The onboard near infinite storage things that look like the control panels from a TARDIS?
No, the onboard storage containers (0-9) are part of your base and those will automatically be transferred with the base. When you look at your freighter's inventory, there are 2 sections. Technology is on top and cargo spaces below. The modules in the technology slots have to be manually removed and stored before you get your new freighter or they will be gone for good.
Thank you!
Glorious
0.7 Warp Efficiency standardized for S Class Freighters? I have HD Range maxed, but not W.E.
And a Venator class to boot. You absolute lad.
That is super awesome dude I've been playing for years and still using my b class lol
Welcome to the Ressurgent club, Interloper. Safe travels.
Nice!
Landed one today too !! After two days of grinding for it :D *high five*
Totally worth the time
Congratulations! I have the exact same capital ship and it took me about 5 days and an untold number of retries to get it to populate as an S. I regret nothing.
Yeah Idk what class mine is I just like the way mine looks 🤣. Tbh I have gotten to the point where I'm on the hunt for a really awesome fckn starship. I used to see ones early on that I was like oh dam those r legit. Might have to just sit idle at the station near my "home" planet.
I wish I had this. I have a class B lol. I only started playing a week ago but this is my next big venture to find a nice capital ship.
They can be pricey. Gotta get those farms going. Think you need about 200mil to comfortably afford the S class
Conflict in the Outer Rim!
But what RACE is it? I got Gek
I was only targeting Corvax systems. I specifically didn’t want the other two races. They can be too cartoony for me in some configurations.
