How To Get Living Frigates In No Man's Sky Endurance Freighter Update

[@Iceblade2230]

That's so cool how the choices you make with the living frigate dialogue decide what role it will have in your fleet

Exactly!

I noticed that. Choose violence and you'll get a combat frigate. Etc.

In order to find more living frigates, you’ll need to get the anomaly detector, from shooting asteroids, then activate it. Go into hyperdrive then keep scanning until you come across whale song detected, then you’ll find a living frigate.

[@johnP0908]

And because of the Desolation update they already have a lot of things they could use to make models for the interior of these fleshy ships.

[@RioManegos]

From what I've heard, to get another, you have to have this item in your ship inventory, and get it as a random space encounter. For best results, use the item that makes a space encounter spawn, and only stop your ship once you get the sign "Whale Song Detected". You can only get one frigate per system.

[@tonybossaller4074]

The nature of the questions you were being asked sounded like it was trying to determine the TYPE of frigates they'll be. Exploration, Support, Combat, Industrial and Trade. (Rather than just being "Other" as Leviathon was...) IE if you fired on the attacking vessle, it would lean to Combat. If you collected all resources on the planet, Industrial. Etc. Very cool and will be interesting to see the combos that could be made.

I agree that seems to be where it's going. My only issue is.. after I got mine & fed it, it's stats & type changed :( I might need to feed it something different. It might be that there are specific items that will change it's stats but then OTHER items that work JUST as food. It had really good stats when I got it too, then it rerolled after feeding it a wiggling tart & I lost a bunch of points in 3 of the 5 categories :(

Can you imagine if something like the living frigate actually existed out there in space? A massive cosmic whale of some kind that feeds on gasses and solar energies to survive, drifting upon the solar winds as if they were sea currents, going into hibernation during voyages between star systems. Seeing how weird life can get just on our own planet, I wouldn’t be surprised if something like this is out there somewhere. Definitely going to need one of these space whales in my fleet.

[@Charlie-Mouse]

I love this mission, I think it has made me more attached to the living ships.

[@catwhowalksbyhimself]

Update. Based on some reddit posts, it seems like this is the only one you can get this way. However, more will show up on the Anomaly detector, although they will cost units.

[@daenithriuszanathos9306]

You can have freighter upgrades that shorten the expedition times (you can find them on derelict freighters). Also, some frigates may provide a built-in time bonus. And finally, there's a usable item that speeds up the expedtion time, too.

As of now (Aug 2024) you need to use anomaly detectors after getting your first living frigate to find other ones. According to the description, you can find one in each star system. To not waste them, you can activate it and then use the pulse drive in any direction, once it finds something, you can check the "icon" in the bottom right corner to see what it found.
