if my math adds up you need 3mil for 5 skill points, and then if you didn't do the first expedition you need 1.5mil for those 5, so 4.5mil for 10 skill points. It's the full stash value not just coins.

From what I've read, one can't gain (up to) 10 skill points if doing the next expedition but the first one was skipped.
Its now a moot point for me in terms of coins I need, my stash + coin value is now in the region of 7mil, way over the 5mil that I would need (given that it's my first expedition).
I am leaning towards skipping the reset again, because I don't have time to grind again starting with nothing. Or one could argue just do the reset and slowly work my way up again and ignore any time pressures to level up and hoard.
If I don't reset on this next expedition, then I could potentially see myself never ever resetting and rather just enjoy having millions of coins and lots of equipment and blueprints to then have less gear fear.

Who here is doing the 2nd expedition, or their 1st one even?
I have so many weapons and items I didn't ever use yet, I don't think I will be able to pull the trigger to flush it all down the drain by departing during the next expedition window.
I'm reluctant to reset for the extra 12 stash space and 5 skills points... if i just use my items battling Arc then stash space won't be a problem. And if I need to respec skills then that's no issue in terms of cost as I have so many millions of coins now.

I didn't do the 1st one so I'm definitely doing this upcoming one, sitting on 9.5 mil space coins, 65 BPs, not sure what my stash value is but . . . lets go!

What do you plan to do with your stash?
If I do the expedition I'd rather give the stuff away than let it just disappear into nothingness

I decided I will skip this 2nd expedition departure window as well. I'd rather try use / and lose my high tier stash over the next 8 weeks seeing as I wont have a lot of time to play, and what little time I play I'd rather be living it up than be grinding for loot once again.
I had a look at respeccing my skill tree, if I dont dump 37 points into Survival it seems like I have more than enough points to put into what I want into Mobility and Conditioning, and that's with 76 points total.
280 stash lots is mainly just a problem due to gear fear and too much hoarding, so I need to let go and play more loosey goosey...
Edit: At 7.5 million stash value I overshot the mark by more than double, but I was at that point under the impression 5 million stash value would be required for the 5 skills points. Who knew they would revise and retroactively apply the less stringent stash value requirement for 5 skill points as required for Expedition 1. Also it's irritating they only let you easily see your total stash value during the Expedition departure window.

I didn't do any of the expeditions, stash items is sitting at 368/280, upon every return to Speranza ammo gets moved in there, or crafted/recycled items go in there but are inaccessible....

I gave some Queen cores and Matriarch cores away, the rest I just lost so now I get to start all over again

Damn lol, I needed some queen cores! I'm now on 375 stash slots used, Scrappy is on 50/50 limit for everything, I can't claim any of it due to no free slotsI gave some Queen cores and Matriarch cores away, the rest I just lost so now I get to start all over again

I just do what I did last time, I run Stella for an hour or so, make about 100 to 200 space credits at a time. Just before the expedition I had about 10 mil credits

Is that like four or five Stella speed runs an hour at maybe 30k coins per run?

It slowly devolved into this situation over the last 10 - 14 days or so.Yikes! How did you manage that?
I was holding some stuff for a friend and then I couldn't get any Scrappy items without selling more items I needed to keep.
Every raid I went on, upon return it deloads my weapons and puts some ammo into inaccessible Stash slots. Anything I try to craft, if there isn't a slot available with that item partially filling that slot, the new items then are placed in Stash but greyed out and inaccessible of course.
Now I'm in a predicament where I need to sell giveaway or recycle 100 stash slots
But I don't really need anything inaccessible currently. So I could just keeping going like this.
Definitely noticing the aggression based match making. My solo runs are 0 aggression so all week I run solos and build up my stash, then weekends i team up with friends and we go killing, first couple raids no one is aggro at all but by the end it's pure PVP. Then my solos are PVP for a day or 2 but slowly return to PVE.
Really clever way of dealing with all the people who wanted a PVE mode.

Yeah when I go in solos still zero aggression in my matches, but two nights ago I went in with a friend who is hardly playing and we got sniped by another duo on Buried City on that broken highway to the east, we ran away, got distracted then headed to Red Tower, then we got too relaxed again, I did have a hunch the other duo might hunt us down, looting on the upper level of Red Tower I saw another player on one of the roofs heading our way, I didn't pay it enough attention, next thing we were getting jumped on the lower level as we were about to depart. My squad mate went down and I had to run away lol, they toyed with him while he was down and I suppose that's the only reason I made an escape

I've yet to load into a map since the big update, and I see they did another 654MB patch today.
Scrappy changes are confusing to me, I don't know when I can ever use him again, my stash is way too full!
Edit: What does this mean, is Scrappy waiting to give me 450 seeds and 375 pieces of everything else provided I have enough Stash space?
