It's a brand-new feature! All previous Expeditions required a new save.
Added to the sidebar!
Sounds like it'll have even more of a multiplayer focus than No Man's Sky does!
I can't wait to see everyone there, and you know the Galactic Hub is already making plans for our sister-group to be based on the new planet.
I think Hello Games is doing something big behind the scenes. Last Expedition was the worst one so far imo, it was the first one to have ZERO narrative of any kind, 100% just chores and fetch quests. PC received an Experimental update weeks ago that Console still hasn't received. And this next update represents part 4 out of 4 of the Void Mother narrative, the grand finale.
All of that makes me feel like a lot of the core team is working on something else.
So I don't have a direct answer to your question, but I will say, to me, it's another indication that something huge is on the way.
Personally, as someone who has unlocked every single Expedition item legitimately, I think exclusivity culture is lame and dumb. I don't like these things more just because I know other people don't have them. If anything, it makes me feel slightly guilty for using them lmao
Note that if you join our Discord, all event times will be automatically converted to your local timezone, so you dont have to manually convert from Pacific time.

#The Galactic Hub Project
Largest & Oldest Active Civilization
11,000+ Player Bases, 75,000+ Subreddit Subscribers, 12,000+ Discord Members
The Galactic Hub Project (r/NMSGalacticHub), founded October 2016, is Euclid's multiplayer hotspot. With a greater concentration of players than anywhere else in No Man's Sky, there's no better location to experience Civilized Space gameplay!
A few of our features include:
-
Chapters - The Galactic Hub has a variety of sub-organizations called Chapters, like the GH Exobiology Corps (focused on fauna), the GH Defense Force (focused on defense & combating griefers), the GH Star League (focused on hosting multiplayer "simulation sports" competitions), & more!
-
Colonies - In the Hub, colonies are communities of multiple players collaborating in some way. This always includes building bases, which are often built under the same theme. Colonies may be as big as a whole system, or as small as a single trade post. The most active colonies are managed by Governors. Governors are interlopers who volunteer to run a colony. A governor's main focus is keeping their colony active - this often involves writing missions or hosting events for their colonists. Some colonies even have Mayors, which manage even smaller communities known as Territories within a Colony. Anyone may set up their own colony in Hub space and act as a Governor!
-
Multiplayer Events - From laid-back Social Nights to the NMS take on eSports Star League, the Galactic Hub has multiplayer social events nearly every week - sometimes multiple each week. Come meet your neighbors!
-
Economy - The GH has its own native currency, HubCoin. It is rewarded exclusively for activity representing the Galactic Hub on various platforms (Reddit, Discord, Wiki, Twitter). HubCoin is never available for sale for dollars, pounds, etc - "real world money" is never required or involved. HubCoin is used to facilitate a metagame economy. For example, to earn coin, players can open their own Businesses with in-game locations in Hub space. To spend coin, players might browse our Discord server's Marketplace and buy goods like custom ships, custom companions, services-of-convenience (ie construction materials), or even 100%-free real-world Hub merch. (Real-world merch availability may vary.)
-
Canonization - Hello Games was kind enough to canonize the Galactic Hub. In other words, we're official in-game content! The "Pilgrim" title can only be unlocked by visiting our old capital planet, New Lennon. Our emblem can be purchased at the QuickSilver store as a base decal or player banner. We're also referenced in the Mission Board and the dialogue of a Traveller, as well as being referenced in the Waking Titan ARG!
That's just a quick look at some of our features. We also have interactions with other civilizations, we're a founding member of the United Federation of Travelers, and much more - but above all else, what really defines the Galactic Hub is our thriving and friendly community. Join us and find your new home in the stars!
Of course! I love Halloween so I wanted to give the community a fun way to celebrate, plus this is great for people who can't make the multiplayer events we usually host. Let me know what you think, and happy early Halloween interloper
I think it should all work for you on Switch! This is all meant to be playable entirely solo, except one mission which requires you to send 3 screenshots to me because I couldn't work out a smarter way to do it π Thank you interloper!
It seems like both the class and the color are determined by your location (can vary from one camp to another on the same planet) and the Head you use.
I just upgraded it at the space station to be S-Class
A lot of people find that civilized space is the thing that gets them to stay engaged in the end game. Helping to contribute to a community, helping new players, opening your own business to provide resources, stuff like that. I, of course, recommend the Galactic Hub as your first consideration for a civilization.
Kind of. You can just ignore them and do your own thing, but I don't think there's any way to get rid of the persistent messages.
Nice! The one on the upper-left does it for me. Glowing red, Sith-style diplo logo? Yes
