Pilgrim Star Path by: pahefu
The Pilgrim Star Process is a guide about a method of navigation.
Summary[ | ]
Before understanding the Pilgrim Star Process you need to understand the Pilgrim Star Path Web Application. The app was developed by pahefu and is a feature that many feel is missing from the core NMS game. The web app gives players the ability to use the ingame coordinate data string to plot a course to another location anywhere in a given galaxy. Unlike mods the Pilgrim Star Path web app simply plots your location from extracted Signal Booster data on a map and provides guidance for adjusting your height (y) and heading (x,z) to reach a selected or entered destination. The app also provides distance in light-years to your destination and estimated jumps.
Procedure[ | ]
The Pilgrim Star Process can be utilized by PC , PS4 and Xbox Players. The procedure adds a layer of real-world navigation when using the Free Exploration mode of NMS Galactic Map and opens the possibility of exploration on a truly galactic scale.
Signal Booster Data String
- First you will need the coordinate string from a Signal Booster for your current planet or moon.
- Enter the string into the User Location box on the Pilgrim Star Path website.
- Press the Draw Location button. Your current location will be plotted on the map.
- If you press Draw B. Hole ring, the app will draw a ring of where you can expect to exit from a Black Hole warp.
- Below the map you will find guidance for navigating to the The Pilgrim Star and Galactic Hub Project.
NOTE: You can change the navigational guidance at any time to any other Federation civilization. - You can enter a coordinate string in the destinations box for guidance to a custom location, if desired.
- Note the height and compass guidance and open your Galactic Map in-game.
- Follow guidance to navigate to the destination of your choice.
Notes[ | ]
- If you are near (used loosely) your destination, you will want to warp at the max distance of your ship's ability in the free exploration mode of the Galactic Map.
- The method is very much trial and error, but allows for a galactic exploratory / discovery experience that many feel adds to the gameplay.
- If you are on PC and want to teleport to a location then consider a location manager such as No Man's Connect by: jaszhix
Tips[ | ]

AGT Outposts circling Euclid Galaxy
- Deconstruct your Signal Booster after getting your coordinate data to save some resource gathering on the next placement.
- Utilize Alliance of Galactic Travellers Outposts as rest stops and iVc Navigational Aids for location reference.
- Reference the iVc Galactic Guide for information on navigating across the galaxy.
- Stock up on Warp Cells and consider building a supply chain at your Base or Freighter for construction.
