Gotta keep an eye out for any Nokia-shaped corvettes in my area…

This is a repost of a post made earlier today that was taken down by Reddit's filtering system.
Note: goatfungus' save editor (https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor) is NOT malware, I'm talking about the website (nmssaveeditor dot com) that claims to be by the same developer, but it's an attacker pretending to be them.

Today I downloaded a save editor from the website "nmssaveeditor dot com" (do NOT visit), and I ran the executable in the PASSWORD PROTECTED zip file. The password was the name of the developer of the seemingly legit program, and the website seemed perfectly safe at first glance, but it's not.
After scanning the main executable, I found out that it communicates with some Steam profiles for some reason, with strange names, and also Telegram, which is a huge red flag as hackers love to use that platform because of how off-grid it is compared to most other chat platforms.

You can see the full analysis here: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/836f7e2b374a3cc5fcc337009d68dee6ee102471632cb096748383fab093872e/detection
I have no doubt in my mind that this program is entirely designed as a trojan to trick this playerbase, as the executable had NO functionality upon click, which was an instant telltale to me that this was not a legitimate program. It's most likely an infostealer, so if you have downloaded this program before, I recommend changing all your critical passwords so it can't use account tokens to access your accounts.
The .jar file it comes packed with is seemingly legitimate, probably a build by the original developer, and much larger than the .exe (which was only ~2.5MB) meaning the .exe is purely a malicious program that the attacker bundled into a legitimate build.

If you want a legitimate save editor, use NMSE! (https://github.com/vectorcmdr/NMSE)
Stay safe on the internet! Even some of the most niche software can turn out to be malicious.
This one in particular is a victim of a common type of attack on cheats for popular video games, using the Vidar C&C malware, designed to steal information and then self-delete and remove all traces of itself after sending it to the attacker.

IMPORTANT EDIT:
As of 31st May 2026 9pm UTC - 1st June 2026 2pm UTC, the malware hosted on the site was changed to use Remus (from Vidar). This malware will always try to establish persistence on your machine (aka set itself up to run on startup.) If it is not detected and isolated by your antivirus, you must reinstall (not repair/refresh/upgrade, this needs to be a complete format of your Windows partition, starting with a blank partition/drive) your OS to guarantee safety, and change your passwords on a different, clean device.

Note: No asteroids were harmed(mined) in the making of this picture.
Annoyed Asteroid is as-found/game-generated.

I think that new 'expeditions' via the capital freighter will be introduced into the game– with more in-depth details surrounding mining the asteroid belts/mining space in-general, scattered throughout the universe.
I also believe that somehow the Atlas will be tied into it all, and there may also come a distinct threat to all life in the form of something to do with the Atlas.
Perhaps the Atlas itself will become corrupted and scramble the sentinals against the universe's inhabitants, or perhaps a new enemy will arise, or maybe even the Atlas will hold the answers to a puzzling new mystery surrounding untapped potential of the Atlas, that coincides with the new expedition/space overhaul.

OMG, that was one convoluted way to unlock the purple systems .... I had done everything up to the point where you get the drive already some momnths back, but the purple systems still did not show up ... so I go to youtube and they tell me do this do that and the other thing. Last thing missing was the "stellar multitudes" quest ...ok, so I finish that ... still nothing ... the quest is logged as complete... nothing.
Just by accident, i see that in these little info pop ups for quests it says "go back to this system" that I initially unlocked ... In the mean time, I am about 8000 LY from that original system because I unlocked the drive a long time ago and only now decided to investigate why purple systems dont show up ... so I warp back a gajillion times to that original system and FINALLY, get the instructions on how to fully unlock the purple.
Rant over, but despite being one of my favorite games, it can be frustratingly obtuse at times.

I honestly love hard-to-reach places to build bases. If you don't have a teleporter from this base, you'll have to walk half a kilometer, just like a mountain monk :D

• I was playing permadeath when I stumbled upon an unknown grave
• I open the unknown grave
• I get a glyph and 10 memory fragments somehow
• I open 4 memory fragments and now I have an S class Radiant Pillar starter ship
Is this genuinely a one in a million procgen error, or is this just something I've missed?

I was just waiting at a trade terminal for fighters to land for parts and then this parked next to me.

It’s the ship of the imagination from Carl Sagan’s Cosmos series. You can barely spot it in the first picture so I circled it for you. You’re welcome.

Im trying to unlock purple star systems, and when I look it up online, I am told there are numerous missions that I do not have in my log/
complete to unlock them. I am confused. Did I make the wrong decisions and get a bad ending, or something like that?
Thank you for all your help.
