No Man's Sky

Hey guys. Looking for some guidance or a point in the right direction for it please.

I got to the center, I'd already done lots of the side missions (autophage etc). I wasn't sure what to do in the 2nd galaxy so spent some time building a base and a little earning quicksilver. I then saw the void egg for purchase.

A Google search compels me to buy it (it's almost all my quicksilver) as it starts a new quest. I stopped reading as I don't want spoilers but I'm guessing it's the whole live ship thing. I don't really care what it is, what I want is more quests so I'm happy either way.

The advice I'm looking for is regarding other things to do, now I'm in the end game. Are there other missions that I can start like this? I initially started playing when the game first came out. Then stopped, way before all the updates (next / live ships etc), and returned recently after world's p1.

Thanks in advance
