I just wanted to make this little post to say that after losing my previous permadeath save after 12 hours, I persisted, and made it to the center on my second attempt.
I kind of cheesed it though, thanks to the teleporter on the anomaly, and a guy named Jeff Pesos who happened to have a base one hop away from the galaxy’s center.
I did manage to do this on the Playstation many years ago, but I recently got back into the game on PC and wanted to 100% it.
Anyway, that’s it, thanks Jeff Pesos!
Yeah, I was working on the missions to get glyphs, but with an eye on player bases at the same time.
I still plan to finish the main story and see how long I can keep my permadeath save alive. It would be cool to build a significant base and get really comfortable, and then heartbreaking to die to something stupid and avoidable one day. :-D
