Exploration & Ships
Galaxy-spanning busywork: visiting systems, landing on planets, capturing ships, smuggling and activities. The two big ones — visit every star system and complete 30 activities — are the most time-consuming, but everything here stacks naturally with the level-100 grind.

Visit 20 star systems.
Stellar Cartography
BronzeFull guideCollapseWhat it asks
Grav-jump to 20 different star systems.
How to earn it

The Stars My Destination

Visit every star system.
The Stars My Destination
BronzeFull guideCollapseWhat it asks
Grav-jump to all 100+ star systems on the starmap.
How to earn it
- Upgrade your ship's grav-drive so you can reach distant, high-level systems.
- Work across the starmap node by node — a system counts the moment you arrive.
- Outer systems are high-level, so do this once you're strong; it pairs perfectly with the level-100 grind.
Pro tips
- Use a full system checklist so you don't miss a remote one.
- One of the longest trophies — chip at it across NG+ loops.

BronzeFull guideCollapseWhat it asks
Add 10 ships to your name.
How to earn it
- Disable enemy ships in space by targeting their engines, dock and board, kill the crew, then take the pilot seat and fly it out.

I Use Them For Smuggling
BronzeFull guideCollapseWhat it asks
Get contraband past a system security scan undetected.
How to earn it
- Acquire contraband (pirates and some vendors carry it).
