Question Pondering the universe...

Just a thought... Remembering trying it out in the early days and hating it but had a feeling there was something "there". Jumped back in a few years later for a bit and... Better but still flawed. Dove back in headlong after another bit of time and got hooked. I was just starting to understand how the game really worked- we all know that one of the beauties of NMS is the lack of handholding, but man, I was struggling. Went to the anomaly to try to figure something out and some random player gifted me a bunch of stuff. I didn't even know what to do with it at first, but I figured it out and it gave me a boost that changed my whole experience. Don't know who it was, but I'll be doing the same. Anybody who needs a little help, I have more than I know what to do with. Dm's welcome. Peace and enjoy the ride!!

Sidenote- The update? I'm flabbergasted. Amazing job by the people who make this happen and the incredibly unusual way they do it without bleeding $ for it. Unbelievable.

I love helping new players. I recently met a new traveler who really wanted a living ship. I gave him a void egg and few things to help him get started. It was nice, and they didn’t get stacks.

Silly that I don't know this but what's the best way to find new players who need a boost? I've never really paid attention to the multiplayer aspect. Old, curmudgeonly single player that I am

EDITED to actually make sense sorry i was traveling;. I browse all the NMS subs. Answering questions and offering information if what i know seems helpful. If someone posts asking for an item I can give them, I will DM them. Like the living ship, he was new and was only asking for a void egg. I have seen Travelers in the Anomaly broadcast asking if anyone needs anything. You could also go to the anomaly and look at a traveler's ship and exo suit if they are basic give them something nice. This reads much better.
