How to get the living ship?

In order to get your first living ship in No Man's Sky you first need to get a related item and complete a special mission.

With the egg in your possession, board your ship and travel to space. Using the pulse skip speed you should shortly receive a transmission from an unknown source. Accept this transmission and you will contact "The Guest". Now press the "Confirm synthesis" dialog option. This will cost you the egg you purchased and in exchange, you will immediately receive the new quest called "Star Birth".

Get more living ships

That is, you must do the following:

  • Purchase a Void Egg: again in the Space Anomaly for 3,200 Mercury.
  • Go out into space and receive the transmission: with the signal from The Host and confirm the synthesis.
