Okay, I actually activated one of these beacons with a bypsss chip at the first outpost I landed at on this planet. I was wondering what it was for. But then I flew miles away before landing again and losing my ship. It's long way back to the beacon. How do I even find my way back to that outpost? Is there a map, or a waypoint I can set? I only see nearby outposts on my HUD.

Low gravity planets confirmed. I hope you got video of that. That's definitely the craziest bug I've heard of in this game.

It sounds like buying the new ship and using it is what solved the problem. Still debating whether or not to delete my save since I only played for 26 minutes this morning.
Its got full controller support listed on steam, if not https://twitter.com/NoMansSky on twitter might be the place to ask.

What problem? I'm about to switch to my DLC ship while doing this hyperdrive quest which this ship has.
Should I not do that???
What happened to me was that I claimed the pre-order ship pretty much right away, because it popped up with a thing telling me to do that literally right after the game started.
It already has a fueled hyperdrive installed though, so the game skipped that part of the tutorial where it sends you to objectives to get the hyperdrive and antimatter crafting recipes. When I saw a really cool ship in a star station and bartered it from the pilot who docked there, that ship didn't have a hyperdrive installed, so that tutorial mission flipped back on to create a hyperdrive but I didn't know how to proceed, because I presume it never sent me the incoming signal to where that hyperdrive recipe is. But by using the L3 star scanner out in space I was able to get the signal to where it was, which was on a planet I had not visited yet in the star system.
You could just grab the pre-order ship now and try doing it the way I did, but if you want to play it safe you could just wait and not redeem it and switch ships until you do the initial tutorial quests up through creating and fueling your first hyperdrive.

What do the Beacons generally have if you find one after searching a star system??
1. Scan with L3.
2. Just keep trucking until you come across one.
3. Use the melee->jetpack trick to travel on foot faster. Just run, melee then immediately hit jetpack and hold. Repeat to haul ass.

Yeah, ok. I'll start doing that.

I recommend waiting and using the DLC later in the game.
The DLC ship seems to mess with the early progress of the game. Some tutorial prompts you usually would get regarding antimatter blueprints and warp cores don't appear.
I haven't experienced it yet myself but there is a big thread on Reddit about it.

This right here is what the game is about, not about what you do in it.

My first planet was absolute garbage. Tons of Sentboyz hovering around, stopping me from doing anything (even by cave entrances), the game doesn't explain shit, and the materials were too dispersed. I ended up having to do another save after an hour of absolute bullshittery. As amazing as this game is, some of the design flaws are really dumb and head-scratchingly bad.

ahahha
my spawn planet was insane liertally the first 10 seconds i see a dinosaws ass
it was a hot ass planet with avatar floating islands everywhere
i stayed there for over 5 hours alone lol
There really wasn't a problem until I bought the new ship. The tutorial quest had gone away and as far as I knew was completed until I switched ships. I could have made the system jump using the pre-order ship, I just happened to buy the new ship in the first system before making the first jump.
There is people who will hate that and people who will love that. That sounds awesome getting lost but still have a way to get out if ya do

I'm at work.
Then I have to workout (I really have to), then a match of soccer, then shower, dinner, and just maybe 3hs of gaming before going to bed to sleep 4hs. :'(

Some places will have locked doors (mostly Steel reinforced so far) that you can break open by shooting at. Fair warning, it will spawn Sentinels to come attack you, but if you have a weapon capable of breaking open the doors, you probably have one capable to fighting off the Sentinels too. Maybe not, depending on your world, my Sentinels are chumps - my wife's on the other hand... they don't fuck around.
So far, most of the facilities I've broken into have 1 piece of tech for free and another you get by solving some puzzle inside. Although sometimes it's not tech, its a waypoint to more cool shit.
I also just ran into an alien dude trying to sell his 26 slot ship for 2.7m credits. I just about lost my shit seeing 26 slots but I only have about 1m cred at the moment, way out of my current price range.

The PS4 LE is REALLY nice. Wasn't expecting that.
Sounds like that preorder ship kinda ruins some of the fun. To me creating your first hyperdrive and then blasting out of the planet sounds like a blast. Kinda of like Star Trek First Contact (Sweet Jesus!). So, I'm not touching that ship on my PC game until at least after I've built my first hyperdrive.
Another reason to hate pre-order bonuses.

You can only blast your way out if you have the proper upgrades. You get them fairly soon if you explore, but I can imagine starting out being a huge pain.

I've updated this post to make it a bit clearer.
ANTI-MATTER & ANTI-MATTER RECIPE WITHOUT THE DLC VECTOR SHIP
Almost immediately after leaving your home planet you’ll be given the quest to build and fuel a hyper drive. Building the drive is fairly straight-forward, but the real confusion seems to be coming from fueling the damned thing. In order to fuel your hyper drive, you’ll need to craft a warp cell. In order to craft a warp cell, you’ll need a couple of ingredients, most of which are readily available. Where you’re likely getting stuck is looking for anti-matter. The game doesn’t make it explicitly clear that won’t be able to craft the element just yet, you’ll get your first taste thanks to a generous alien on a nearby planet outpost.
After building your hyper drive, scan the planets in your system until you find, what I believe is a distress beacon. This will lead you to an on-planet outpost where you’ll meet the alien with the anti-matter. There’s nothing special you have to do, just talk to it. Assuming you’ve gathered the rest of the ingredients, you’re ready to fuel your drive and leave the system.
Upon reaching the new system you’ll discover another beacon. In my case, it was an abandoned facility that I had to break into, but it may differ from person to person. Either way, you’ll have a beacon that you’ll need to travel to, and this is how you’ll get the anti-matter recipe, which is necessary to continue the game.
ANTI-MATTER & ANTI-MATTER RECIPE WITH DLC VECTOR SHIP
One of the perks of redeeming and using the Vector ship is that you’ll be able to skip most of the above. The ship is already equipped with a fueled hyper drive, allowing you to leave the system shortly after your initial repairs.
Once you leave the first system, the steps remain the same. You’ll scan for a beacon and find the required recipe. There’s no way to skip over it, because it’s required to continue the game. I switched to the Vector shortly after arriving at the nearest space station in the new system. From there I went on to acquire the recipe needed to continue my journey.

Some of the best advice I can give to anyone playing this game is not to worry about trying to find the right way to do things, as the game will lead you towards the center of the universe. Scan when you're near a planet in space, and continue to scan while you're walking about the planet.
Find your own path. Don't be afraid to change up your waypoint, or explore the universe because you might miss something. You won't. If you're in the star map and see an interesting looking sun, start heading there and see what's up. The game has a narrative and you'll get all of that as you continue towards the center.

My point was that it shouldn't be something HG should have to worry about, it should be done at system level, like the XBO.

I don't know why it never occurred to me to head towards a sun. I know what I'm doing tonight.
I wonder what the different flags represent.

It seems to only count animals. It doesn't seem to be affected by plants or waypoints.

Why would you turn down an opportunity to get units?
Yeah I don't see why not.
There seems to be a lot of stats tracked in the discoveries panel.
Is the online server still offline ? Yesterday night or this morning I couldnt connect.
you can change it in the PS4 system options
