I'm also following some guy on an atlas path. At first it was two people, one named SPACECOMPANY oddly enough. Now i'm following to guy with a name beginning with K but I can't remember off hand.
Thanks! Was just about to email them - this is great, really looking forward to seeing what they can do.

My ship transfer was successful. Way, way smoother experience than the first one even though the environment was a lot harsher. I gain just one extra slot but the layout is way better. Going to explore this system and then the next jump should take me to my second Atlas stop.

Yup.
Wow, it's like a giant slug and a T-Rex had some kinky fucking sex.

That's reassuring, this game will live or die on the updates and improvements thereof
Being able to set up your own space business would be amazing, after you've hoarded so much shit, just space ebay it all
Since I couldn't figure out what else to play for the next few days, I decided to continue just by messing around.
My first mission, upgrade my 28 slot ship all the way to 48 doing Crashed ship swap.
Is it possible to amass a decent amount of mats by just breaking everything down from my older ship? All I need to fix is hyper and pulse drives, so I figure I can gather some mats from breaking all other extras.

Yup.
I see many of them on my planets. What is more difficult to find is something as disturbing as the early bushes that I have come across. The best vegetation on my 5th planet.
Well I guess I got my response, same copy/paste email people have been posting on the past page. Really sucks to lose all discoveries like this on a character that's traveled a lot.

Whoa whoa... all discoveries on just one planet, or all discoveries you've made period?

I want to see dinosaurs, and all I get is a T-Rex with the head of an octopus. Come on.
Edit: Ah, yours has the head of a fish.
No discoveries at all, even the planet I was currently on had its discoveries disappear. It's as if I'm a fresh character on the current planet I'm on. Which sucks because I've been to a good amount of planets where I scanned and uploaded everything.

The atlas path was a waste of time and inventory slots. Just not worth it.
Well, I'll spoiler tag anyway, just in case, but it's nothing terrible
Atlas Path is not the end of game, you can still continue towards center
I find it interesting that most people (including me) went that way, guess the fact that it has some sort of narrative/quest structure really means something, even in a game which lets you do whatever the hell you want.

Same here, following two people. Kinda neat, I sent them PSN messages with screenshots.

40-50 hours in and I'm still astounded by the beauty this game is capable of sometimes.
Awesome.

They really need to fix the bug where it shows the wrong planet name on both your ship scanner as well as the UI.
I got that guy last night but as a different color.
Yup.

Didn't realize there was an OT 2 already. OT 1 isn't locked yet. :/
Anyway, here's my post from the last page of that thread!
Played for about two hours yesterday, got my exosuit up to 43 slots. Just five more to go!
I also found a planet with those ambupearl or whatever they're called, so I farmed a bit of that and how have about 2 million units. Small beans compared to others and their massive fortunes, but it's the most I've had! I've been hunting on my planet for drop pods and pearls. One planet had a ton of aquaspheres, so I spent some time farming that, but then I went to the other and found the pearls. I think in this sector, I'm getting more for the pearls than the spheres.
My goal tonight is to max out my exosuit, and then go ship hunting. A trader had one with 24 slots (my current ship has only 19), but I was about 100K short of being able to buy it! I figured by the time I was ready to buy a ship, I'd have more money saved up. I also stripped a crashed ship of its goods, which I'll do every time I come across one.
I also took on 5 pirates in my poorly defended ship and came out on top. It was a fun (and profitable!) session last night. Can't wait for tonight!

Regarding the end of the game, I'm a long way off presumably, but can someone tell me....
Once I collect all 10 of the Atlas Stones, does the game automatically send me to the new galaxy? Can I elect not to go right away and still choose to do so later?
Can I deviate from the Atlas path and then get back on it later? Getting tiresome always visiting Yellow Star systems.

Make one more warp to one more Atlas Interface, and redeem 10 stones there for the end of Atlas questline.
I went straightaway, but I think you can stray and visit other planets, then get back to Atlas path using the map

One of my favorite aspects of the game so far personally. I love wandering and the sensation of noticing something I haven't yet encountered. I do wish it were easier to scan flying creatures like birds. I don't want to kill anything, and even using my actual mouse it can be very tough to trigger the scan.
Your discoveries are not part of the database until you upload them. Before uploading them (whether or not you name them), it's basically the equivalent of playing in offline mode- where multiple people could "discover" the same thing. If you're offline I assume you can still "name and upload" things, but this isn't actually doing anything- if someone online went to the same planet obviously that stuff would be undiscovered.
Yesterday in the thread someone said they realized they were on the same planet as someone else and they were seeing discoveries pop up on the page from the other player, so essentially they were racing each to discover and upload stuff in real time, which I actually found kinda cool.

Saw a huge lump of Emeril on a fairly boring world and decided to mine some by hand just for fun (well it gives better returns and is weirdly soothing hehe).
Was a bit odd - there was a solid core of the substance that would not break either by hand or with the tool. After chiseling away and filling 1500 worth in my inventory, I decided to dig down and see how far it went - pretty far! So then decided to walk off a way to see how large it is on a scan - fecking HUGE. I chipped away some more before filling my inventory at 2000 pieces... but that thing must be near 10,000 total going by the scan... at 275 units a piece.
And now the thing looks to be taking some kind of shape, so I'm tempted to keep chipping away

I'm for this all the way.
I've spent two days so far trying to locate the last species - literally tried looking everywhere - starting to wonder if it's just bugging out. Somebody posted a few pages back that in the species list the aquatic lifeforms are listed last. If this is true it means my last remaing little monster is on land somewhere - I'll verify when I get home..

Got pretty lucky finding an amazing solar system. I know it's not the photo thread buuut:
Wow. That might be the prettiest NMS shot I've seen.

Fuuuuuuck. The last three systems I've hit have been full of dull, mostly lifeless barren wastelands with extreme hazards, angry sentinels and an abundance of space pirates. On the occasion I do find a critter, it's some angry crab or a crocodile-fish hybrid that has me "nope"ing right off the planet. Vy'keen systems are shit.

Wait, you can mine resources without the mining laser? Via Melee? Better returns?

Have you tried all system classes? I think the blue and green star systems have a higher probability of containing lush environments.at least, my experience has been that way.
Just wanted to post links to some basic guides/info:
- Beginner Tips & Tricks (Bunch of stuff here including how to boost dash to get around planets quicker, stripping crashed ships for parts, finding early exosuit upgrades, grouping tech for bonuses, etc.)
- How to Set On-planet Waypoints (While limited for now, this works to find your way back to points of interest on planets you don't want to lose.)
- The AtlasPass and You (Info on how to get the AtlasPass V1 and what it can do for you.)
- Ship Progression Guide (credit to HalfBakedProphet, a look at some of the logistics behind acquiring better ships and example plans you can follow to do so.)

After 45 hours, and completing the atlas path, I think I'm done until some content is added. It's all just so dull. My suit is maxed out, my ship can take out pirate squadrons of 18+ and my multi tool is very powerful(thanks to the rail shot mod). I'm just seeing the same things over and over, grinding warp cells, and constantly warping. And no end in sight.
Such a let down for a game I had very little hype for.

You can mine with the laser, melee, plasma grenades, and I believe the railgun adapter tech for the boltcaster. No idea what the bit about better returns meant though

That's what that white dot in my game last night was! That's awesome, I didn't know this either! Thank you!
Well, I kinda hit the jackpot, and these are by far the prettiest planets I've encountered in over 70 hours of (too much) playing the game. This is my 46th solar system I visited and that last shot is from my 116th planet I visited.
Also, for whoever ever wants to find it:
