    Awesome. Don’t wait too long or feel intimidated. Despite the name, you can play them entirely solo, and they’re great introductions to the mechanics of the game. You don’t need to “get used to” the game beforehand; just jump right into one!

    Also, there’s only two weeks left, and it might take you the full two weeks to get through it, since you’re new. Worth it, though! Also, feel free to contact me if you need help.

      Huh, TIL - I’ve played NMS on and off for years, but never tried the community expeditions as I just prefer solo gaming. Will need to check them out!

        Yeah! Don’t skip out. There’s always free stuff that’s often very cool and unique.

        ETA: and I do recommend turning on the setting so you can see user bases (which can show up even if you turn off multiplayer). People who start early will often make helpful bases to boost players along.
