In No Man’s Sky, you can currently earn the ship from Mass Effect. We will show you how to get the SSV Normandy SR1.
No Man’s Sky is one of those very few games that managed to turn things around and improve after a rocky launch. It has now become one of the best space games on the market and continues to get better. There’s now a small event where players can unlock a legendary ship from another game: the SSV Normandy SR1 from Mass Effect.
What is the Normandy? The SSV Normandy should be familiar to any Mass Effect player. It is the ship with which Commander Shepard (the player character) and his crew travel through the galaxy in the sci-fi trilogy, experiencing a huge story surrounding a million-year-old species.
The Normandy is not just the “taxi” that takes you from planet to planet, but also the mobile main base where you plan missions, have long conversations with your crew members, and build relationships.
In No Man’s Sky, that is the SSV Normandy SR1 from the first Mass Effect. In later installments, the ship is slightly altered.
No Man’s Sky was also considered one of the best survival games you can play in 2021:
How do you get the ship? It’s quite simple. You just need to complete the tasks of the second expedition. Expeditions are like seasonal quests that offer different rewards. If you successfully complete the expedition, the SSV Normandy SR1 will be available as a frigate that you can send out from then on. A short trailer shows how cool this can look in No Man’s Sky:
Until when does it last? Anyone interested in the Normandy shouldn’t take too much time. The tasks can only be tackled until May 31, after which the reward will expire. Whether the Normandy will be available again after that is rather questionable.
Why is the event happening now? It is likely no coincidence that the event coincides almost exactly with the launch of the “Mass Effect: Legendary Edition.” This remastered the original trilogy of the series, allowing new fans or old veterans to experience the extensive story of Commander Shepard once again.
