My edition of NMS is the ps5 console version, so no save editing. On a normal save

i am very close to the center of the euclid galaxy, so in the mean time, i am trying to roll for an S class freighter. i warped over four times, then afk’d in a space station for over three hours, then warped to a T3 rich system (never figured out the galaxy map economy filter, colors told me nothing), and on two restore points, i rolled a sentinel freighter. instead of saving it, i went to the space station to make another restore save, then flew out of the station to see the sentinel freighter gone. sadge

i’ve been researching all the youtube vids on how to potentially roll a good freighter, but they just go on and on about useless crap when all i care for and want to know is only the essential details on how i can best roll/manipulate RNG to give me some good crap. Some other dude on a different forum said the echoes update potentially ruined all known freighter farm methods. so level with me, the galactic hub, are there any spots in there that are good for freighter farming, or am i essentially SOL and at the unrelenting merciless whims of RNG?

    The pirates always follow you, so just fly a bit further away from the freighter and they’ll follow and won’t be able to duck in and out the freighter shields.

      about half of the pirates i shoot try to follow and shoot me, otherwise i always get either two or three that clip in and out of the freighter, some right at the hanger area, the one area i can’t approach unless i want the freighter to vanish out of nowhere. it works, sort of, but its still absolutely infuriating
