I just recently got into NMS just before the Aquarius update. I’ve really enjoyed things so far, but I’m at a weird point now. Every one of my primary missions has some vague objective that I can’t actually complete. The story (as it is) seems to have completely stalled out. I’m left to repetitious side missions like the Base Computer Archives and Settlers.
Is there anything else in terms of story, or am I on my own now? I just figured there would be some sort of resolution to Artemis, Atlas, or any of the really cool and interesting plots that seem to be going on here.
I honestly don’t really remember the main quest progression (I last did it a really long time ago), but I think there were a couple of steps that were time or exploration/research gated…
I can say that the story of Artemis has an ending, you should probably just try go on and research some Archive related things on the Base computer or jump around to new systems
As a general rule, IMHO, to really enjoy it you should treat NMS as a sandbox game that happens to have a story that sometimes pops up
