no-mans-sky

[keen ginkgo]

Neither are generic, they defined the genre, lol thats why I was confused

[plush shard]

Gather>upgrade>repeat? Guess I'm playing No Mans Fallout Sky

[narrow vigil]

Like how Beth put build and settlement mechanics in Fallout because why not

But it's not the core of those games. They may have crafting and gathering but they are still story driven and often linear RPGs

It is the core of the game if you're talking about this game, minecraft, ark, Terraria and others

[manic ravine]

I would make my attack dramatic, like you know how on gas giants there's those random electrical storms that look like the size of nuclear bombs? yeah that shit would be happening around me to let people know im about to fire

[keen ginkgo]

Id argue it isnt for nms and minecraft. The core is a different thing, upgrading and "progression" makes doing the core gameplay easier

[manic ravine]

man tat would be so cool if it wasnt clientside only

[sand jasper]

i mean, you build something you defeat a boss grind sort of thing lol
my Englishs are trashs im still learning lol

[keen ginkgo]

I think I may be too immersed in the genre, lol. Most games I play are like that

[manic ravine]

wouldnt it be cool if you could cause thunderstorms before firing ur strongest gun?

[sand jasper]

i do like sandbox tho

[narrow vigil]

It is at the core. Because you can't access multiple stars or purple star content in this game or things like the ender in MC without engaging in that simple Craft>upgrade>craft>upgrade>craft cycle

[manic ravine]

nobody thinks that a cool effect idea?

[narrow vigil]

You don't have to if you don't want to. But you are locked out of content if you don't engage in it. Because it's required.

[manic ravine]

ah , guess im too original

[keen ginkgo]

Sure, but neither are the core of the gameplay

[narrow vigil]

In a lot of the RPGs and linear games that implement crafting and gathering they truly make an optional. And you can get to the game without much of it

[chrome rock]

A lot of people don't like the game for the tutorial, but after that it gets incredibly better

[manic ravine]

im gonna make a mod that does what i am describing

[narrow vigil]

The beginnings of this game was single player Minecraft with spaceships. Almost everything else has come after.

[sharp raft]

evolution over time.. and requests from player base.. which is WHY it won "best ongoing game"

[narrow vigil]

They even tried to steer the game early on towards the horror survival direction like Minecraft was going to.

[coral notch]

Now it’s just Single player Minecraft with spaceships on steroids and 10 years of content

[narrow vigil]

They all just learned Gamers prefer fantastical and beautiful rather than spooky horror

[keen ginkgo]

The core gameplay of a sandbox game isn't upgrading your shovel and bucket

[manic ravine]

Ok so , the mod would be , prior to firing ur blaze javelin, the sky turns dark, and the longer you hold it down, electrical storms begin happening, and a loud sound happens , then like 2 billion damage and a giant explosion happens

ill make that if it kills me

[sharp raft]

@narrow vigil Mitey just put some stuff in Alpha Site that makes it feel more like home. Mitey swear.. will build a permadeath community heheh

[coral notch]

You should name the mod “Cloudy with a chance of death”

[sharp raft]

oh shoot. should settle on that one world that was good weather and less sentinels. hmm green grass and blue sky..

[chrome rock]

Do you guys know if LNF will have nms style sp with mp, mostly mp or full on mmo? Has it been mentioned?

[narrow vigil]

I don't see them going the MMO direction.

[chrome rock]

God I hate autocorrect

[narrow vigil]

You're talking about upgrading their server in infrastructure and changing how they handle the hosting of multiplayer

[coral notch]

Highly doubt it’ll go full mmo

[manic ravine]

but you know how gas giants have those giant blue electrical storms in the distance, if only i could tie that same effect to my player character and trigger it upon holding down the charge button for a long enough time

[chrome rock]

Was really hoping it to be mmo

[narrow vigil]

That would be a big change for them. And I think the cost would be too high for them to eat themselves. Without having to source more revenue streams.

[chrome rock]

Change isn't bad, would probably bring a much higher playerbase as a mmo

[coral notch]

You’d know way better than I do so all I can say is uh good luck but yes I know what effect you are talking about

[narrow vigil]

It's as if they're intentionally keeping themselves small. So they never have to worry about expansion, bloating infrastructure or executives/investors

[manic ravine]

and then change the size of the laser beam to be like 10,000 times its size (you can do this)

its in the files

you can actually change those values

[plush shard]

I would leave NMS if it turns into a MMO

[manic ravine]

clientside only unfortunately

[manic ravine]

but that would be so dramatic if people could see it too

[chrome rock]

That's one thing I think sucks is it's all clientside

Save editing is bleh

[coral notch]

Aren’t the vast majority of those affect client side?

[manic ravine]

again unfortunately

[coral notch]

How would you even go about making it server sided?

[manic ravine]

no idea

but man that would be soo cool

[chrome rock]

Design it to be server sided? Like the vast majority of other modern rpgs

[manic ravine]

i know the sand worm mod isnt only clientsided

because my friend complained about all the sand worms

and im like oh shit you can see that too?

was on a water world where thats not possible

and there were like a few of them every second due to me changing the values

crashed myself

[keen ginkgo]

Its possible on water worlds, im fairly sure

[coral notch]

That moment when HG won’t even make cape physics server side and now we are trying to figure out how to make the god damn wrath of Zeus server sided 🤣

[manic ravine]

no im serious , you remember that snow planet on beachhead where theres like 0 sand worms? well he was seeing all of them and hearing them at the same time i was and i have the mod that gum made installed

was in vc with me and was saying wtf

[sharp raft]

oh yay! it has water! ::quickly settles to encourage other people to come:: verdanant planet.. nice weather from time to time. sentinels but they aren't nearly as aggressive

[manic ravine]

so yeah the sand worm mod works online

that must have been disturbing

[chrome rock]

The amount of planets you encounter with aggressive sentinels isn't affected by difficulty, correct? It's all generated before you visit systems

[manic ravine]

randevus 4 on beachhead , that snow world, i tested it out, when the mod is uninstalled no sand worms spawn, but when its on, two of them happen every 10 seconds or so, and i didnt even tell him about it he was like oh wtf is that

yes i know they can happen on all planets

but not that frequency

what would be really scary is if it happened on a deep water world, oh thats right it did

now that's something scary that the under-water needs more of

needs more sound effects too

[chrome rock]

Underwater sentinels

[manic ravine]

that's nothing

nothing compared to what i would have in store

heheheh

[chrome rock]

I want to blast some eel looking sentinels with my nautilon

Pew pew

[manic ravine]

boss battle

music would change too

[chrome rock]

Like what's the practical use of the nautilon cannon?

[manic ravine]

exactly

if there was boss stuff that would be valuble

plus you can already fire ur guns in water

so knda dont even need it

it does less damage then ur multitool guns

or at least in my case, but i can change that ahahahah

[chrome rock]

Yea but movement speed is bad underwater compared to nautilon

[manic ravine]

not for me

infact nautlion slows me down

and that thing orbits the planet

god why do i make everything so extreme? am i that bored?

[upper tendon]

i like how i can make all my shit modded in multiplayer on nms, and i have yet to be banned, but on a game like a fps shooter, or hell, even minecraft, the moment ur even suspected , dont have to actually have anything, just simply suspected of having a mod, its curtains for you

thats what i love about nms

so much freedom

[narrow vigil]

Today on "how did I never see that?"

When you are loading up your save file in the game you can see the remaining expedition time in the bottom right corner.

[manic ravine]

today on , "what will yutaka break" , find out , or not

why did HG make nms such a literal weapons of mass destruction simulator

*if you mod

such a great engine that didnt deserve its bad rep

its as moldable as clay

sure theres stuff you cannot do, buut that's a hard bridge to cross, and theres so much in between

[vital raptor]

Anyone else having problems with NMS on Mac OS? I haven’t been able to play in a couple of months.

[manic ravine]

the person behind whatever engine this game uses , id put them up there with einstien because they made literal perfection, i mean yeah there's glitches, but the game is so modder friendly

take that unreal engine

cant even come close

[rigid void]

Where can I find exosuit expansion modules again?

I want to say it’s from the various buildings you can get planet charts for but

[blazing wraith]

They are for sale at some NPCs like in Minor Settlements or Archives, or some Trade Terminals at Trading Posts, etc.

Note if you find any at a Minor Settlement for example, each time you save and reload NPCs restock their wares, so you could get an arbitrary number.

[sharp raft]

Good starter home is it not? Verdant planet. Ever-resent sentinels (but haven't attacked me yet!) salvagable scrap. Water. Decent flora and fauna! oh.. and PERMADEATH! Join Mitey! Build your way in the universe an community shall be ours!

[rigid void]

I’d very much like to tag along for a little while, trying to get myself to the Galaxy core in PD

It’d be nice to have somewhere to call home while I stock up on supplies

[dreamy kayak]

hey guys

just got off work

man I feel tired though lol

[sharp raft]

sure thing! Shall we exchange friend codes?

[chrome rock]

Realistically all you need to do galactic center on pd is getting to the first glyph

[dreamy kayak]

gotta extend your hyperdrive a bit but yeah

[rigid void]

!myfriendcode

been scannning creatures from 10 mill to 35 mill a piece

[chrome rock]

Love that nectar island

And a good experimental

[rigid void]

I shall add yours at my earliest convenience Mitey, got some things to do this evening

Unfortunately

[sharp raft]

quite alright. added you.. and there is room right across the river for a base at least 300u! 🙂

[junior trench]

How did i only JUST figure out you can use the pulse drive with A & D

[sharp raft]

just let Mitey know 🙂

[rigid void]

Shall do

[sharp raft]

of course the invitation is open to anyone else in Permadeath! Mitey's using this planet to look for salvagable scrap and finally build a starship

[dreamy kayak]

i might consider it, if you got a camp set up already with stuff

I already did permadeath on xbox

dont want to experience the beginnning again lol

[sharp raft]

heheh this is why you join Mitey and make his world your starter world. you will have weather from the beginnin but then when you PASS that stage.. the weather changes to match planet .:)

[sharp raft]

besides that.. Mitey will help you with oxygen to make sure you can get to your ship.. gather materials and begin to make a tiny house.. expand upon it later. Riiight on the river 🙂

[open lantern]

it works like that without editing a file

[sharp raft]

just moved to a Verdant planet on purpose for the corvette parts. 🙂 MUCH nicer than the hostile planet it dropped me on

[manic ravine]

oh but editing a file, you can do oh so much... so much..

[dreamy kayak]

nice

yeah i remember those days of permadeath

think it took me like 2 deaths to finally get going

[open lantern]

you risk losinng interest

[dreamy kayak]

once you are fixed up its gets easy

[manic ravine]

not me

[dreamy kayak]

but before that its tough

[sharp raft]

when you start it.. you gotta do the mode select and STAR a permadeath so you end up on my world first instead of mitey having to come and get you out 🙂

[manic ravine]

but then again , i'm autistic so its hard for me to lose interest in something

[sharp raft]

Mitey understand where you are coming from. but see.. he doesn't understand no risk no reward. He's just interested in breaking as many things as he can sir.

[open lantern]

well, i can't account for that - it's a great unlnown

[rigid void]

I’m kinda doing it just for the last achievement but it has made me appreciate the game a little more

[sharp raft]

Mitey only two days old! its so much FUN! 🙂

[rigid void]

High risk-high reward

[open lantern]

what one?

[rigid void]

Reach the core in permadeath

[sharp raft]

Live forever.. the core jump one 🙂

[manic ravine]

for us , something doesn't get boring until we are prevented from continuing

[sharp raft]

ohh it will be cool if both @dreamy kayak and @rigid void end up living around the same body of water.. mmm the teamwork! the progress!

and the making sure PVP is turned off. heh

[dreamy kayak]

yeah maybe i dont do neutron gun on this one

maybe just scatter blaster or something like that

[open lantern]

i have done PD there is no safety for game glitching

[sharp raft]

Mitey has one. its fine with pvp off. just not GEOLOGY cannon thank you

[dreamy kayak]

don't you remember the derlict freighter?

[open lantern]

bolt caster baby all the way tot he end

[sharp raft]

no risk.. no reward 🙂

[dreamy kayak]

that was neutron gun I did

when I tk'd whats her name

[sharp raft]

Mitey does. but also Mitey has a neutron cannon and we were fighitn sentinels. Other player took no damage. besides.. Mitey not gonna fire with you IN the way

[sharp raft]

they had pvp on 🙂

[dreamy kayak]

lol

[dreamy kayak]

oh they did?

[sharp raft]

you wants Mitey to shoot when you in the way? lords.

[dreamy kayak]

ok that makes more sense then

[sharp raft]

apparently so. that and you neve r know how upgraded someone is

[open lantern]

funny part is every PD run I tried I get crashed S class - first freighter S class - the first small settlement S classs... theme eh?

[dreamy kayak]

i was freaking out that neutron gun can tk people lol

[sharp raft]

thats some serious luck sir.

[open lantern]

no really they wre in three attempts! HA

[sharp raft]

Mitey still using C class multitool. nanites to upgrade. ugh. but will get there

[umbral sequoia]

A lot easier now with portals and corvettes make finding graves quite simple. Many new players will never know how to do it legit...finding an S explorer, putting together some solid upgrades and warping to the center.

[open lantern]

back then there were creators making these crazy vids iron man no ship challenges

i'd gotten 15-18 hours in one

[sharp raft]

was the weirdest thing. Was attempting a core jump from a corvette and the other player got kicked off the ship as it was jumping. SWEAR it was suppose to take us both

[open lantern]

the last one i lost was 37 hours

[sharp raft]

oh my gosh. Well if it makes you feel any better.. Mitey died 5 hours in because.. well.. Mitey had to go to the bathroom and partner did not keep an eye out for sentinels... and well.. they pew pew

[open lantern]

i was going to ask about center jump - most of the warp and holes etc work just fine

[sharp raft]

see. if you want to get to the center.. Mitey set up a base at the planet closest to the center. After anomaly unlock its simple to get a permadeath player there.. and then BACK. because also set up an emergency site in Hilbert.

Thats why Mitey wants to get parts.. to create a rescue corvette.

[sharp raft]

dunno if it was because they lost connection or what.

[manic ravine]

pretty easy to mod when you can do it in notepad...

[sharp raft]

Allllmost got @dreamy kayak convinced Mitey thinks 🙂

[dreamy kayak]

yeah ill log on now, sorry just feeling a bit sick today

toilet time after work was no bueno

[open lantern]

i have been Multiplaying with my PS5 guy a lot over three years and it has it's weirds, but in all works pretty well

[sharp raft]

well if you sick sir you should rest

[open lantern]

it was really good to see how far we got in beach head

[chrome rock]

Just remember all mt and ship placements on normal are the same on permadeath

[sharp raft]

flipped my noodle the first time boarding and flying on someone else's ship and the BEAM DOWN! ohhh my god

[open lantern]

placement yes, but i've had the most uncanny luck in my attempts

[umbral sequoia]

I mean, I like to think HG at least block totally free rides through the center in survival and permadeath...but I don't have much faith. Maybe the player just jumped out of the ship.

[sharp raft]

hmm well can at least get you there 🙂

ohh @dreamy kayak is loading in! Mitey preparing for rescue

[dreamy kayak]

im loading in

[chrome rock]

As long as you have a Corvette to call you can be dumped out of someone elses Corvette and just appear in your driver seat

[open lantern]

takl about jumping off a corvette - my buddy was impatient getting in the atmosphere and bailed on me, shot past me like a freakin rocket tap tap jet pack and landed unharmed beat me to surface by 20-30 seconds

which is forever in NMS time

the other night they were talking about the time corvettes save normal play - not waiting on animations is huge

[umbral sequoia]

You can call non corvettes too. Doesn't matter if you have a corvette, you can jump out of another player's corvette and call your ship.

[chrome rock]

I thought it was only Corvette, good to know

[open lantern]

the one small thing corvettes changed was how much damages we take in quiet space

[umbral sequoia]

Nah, you can call any ship...you just can't get out of a normal ship in space.

[plush shard]

Expedition SpeedRun mode on

[manic ravine]

this expedition sucked ngl

eh still kinda fun

[naive mist]

What?

[manic ravine]

not as fun as breached

or corvette

breached was great

[umbral sequoia]

Oh yeah...I was looking at that today when doing derelicts...outside in space my basic hazard survival lasts over 3200 minutes...did the math...it would take me 2 days and 6 hours real time before my character would start to freeze to death lmao.

Inside the derelict only 20 minutes but outside my character could space walk all day...literally.

[naive mist]

MATH!

[hybrid sierra]

🔢

[timber haven]

I might eventually design a planet explorer corvette, right now mine i have to exit seat and run through 2 habs and a walkway section to get to the rear landing bay, which isn't saving much time vs my sentinel ship landing or taking off.

Open sides and teleporter access directly off the cockpit is absolutely necessary. Can't do without it

[cloud schooner]

Hello! I'm from a group that has coded a 3d community map! Trying to spread the word to get more people to try it!
The link is pinned in this channel if you're interested!
If you have any questions or suggestions pls feel free to DM me!

[umbral sequoia]

I mean, I wouldn't design a tiny corvette. You could have the ramp up close to the ramp and then design the rest of the corvette around it but it's awkward. I just accept the walk, doesn't bother me. This is how long mine is, the ramp is at the back just under where the wings split from:

[narrow vigil]

It's why I also usually have only two storage units and swap out what I need in the moment. I hate walking all over a big Corvette. To tighten clunky

[manic ravine]

thats so cool

you did well

red is my fav color

[open lantern]

right after getting corvette i was on an airless and the monstrosity punted me to space... so weird

[timber haven]

The current one i have now was designed as a flying factory if you will...
So probably should have made it more like a two hull design with cockpit and landing bay in the center, and other stuff in pods to the side.

[umbral sequoia]

Thanks. I tried to design it first and foremost to have all the upgrades I wanted, space for everything, mostly all on one level so I don't have to deal with stairs(though I do have one set of stairs to get to the exit ramp, and maximum cockpit visibility.

[narrow vigil]

Space for everything? 😂

[umbral sequoia]

Yeah that can happen lol...especially airless moons.

[open lantern]

what i find frustrating with the corvette link and "Dead" parts they don't have reliable side snaps - i mean heck it's a block to connect things to, why won't a wing or motor or GUN mount on thhe side of it

[narrow vigil]

9 reactors and 6 guns in that little thing

[open lantern]

and you can't flip the cheap reactor to make them neat

[narrow vigil]

With a backwards, forwards and 90° rotation in the same space you can put three reactors on top of each other. Shrinking the needed space for all those different reactors and the resulting profile of the Corvette.

[umbral sequoia]

No space for all the corvette tech. And there's quite a bit I have on mine...Corvette body attachments: 6x shield attachments, 3 engines, 3 landing gears, 3 weapons, and 3 hyperdrive reactors.

[narrow vigil]

It built right your sacrificing nothing with a small corvette. Just saving yourself time walking around inside of it

[narrow vigil]

As I was saying it has nine reactors on it. Three medusa, three zenith and the one for landing gear.

All of them meshed into each other.

[serene iron]

wooooohooo I just got my first Venator

and it's the T2 one.

[queen ridge]

How’s everyone doing?

[umbral sequoia]

Those are all cheated...those shouldn't stay on when the game generates the corvette...without a mod or exploit the game would check, see they're not installed on your corvette, and remove them.

[serene iron]

nah, you can install however many you like, but only the first three count in the grid.

[narrow vigil]

Cheated 😂

Did we forget which game we're playing.

I mean if the final argument is manipulating build mechanics you're going to lose that argument in this game. That's like saying glitch building is wrong when it comes to Base building.

[timber haven]

I know you can accidentally stuff parts together without trying, so not hard to see it actually working.

[narrow vigil]

Yep

[umbral sequoia]

His ship physically doesn't have most of that stuff installed on it. It's not that he's not allowed to have it it's that he literally doesn't...to still have the tech in the tech slots without the physical counterparts you have to cheat or exploit the game.

[narrow vigil]

The parts are still there. Did you think I removed them?

Like the zenith reactor is one place forward, one place backwards and another one placed 90°. All on top of each other so all three of them are there and all three of them are in my tech slots

I didn't delete the parts after the fact. If I did that it would disappear from my tech slot and I wouldn't get the stat boost.

[serene iron]

it goes the other way around. I can bolt 100 reactors to my corvette until it glows like its own personal star.. but in the actual tech slots I'll only see the first three by default.

[timber haven]

So many of those parts can mesh together...
I didn't try on mine but could probably shrink the reactor mess on top of mine just looked odd unless covered and out of sight.

[narrow vigil]

Hell the reactor for Shields meshes with everything so badly. It's almost as if it's completely invisible

A good chunk of our Corvette parts are just a small physical snap point with meshable visual assets surrounding it.

[serene iron]

I found if you build a single space cavity, you can put an aeron shield on the sides of the space and the orbs will mesh cleanly.

[queen ridge]

The game glitches hard when it comes to corvette building I have a few thrusters that don’t even register in the tech slots yet I have open slots.

[umbral sequoia]

Well they're not on there legitimately...not sure if you glitched a bunch of parts into each other, and I don't mean minor clipping either...that ship is massively screwed...your cockpit isn't even properly connected to a habitation module or exit ramp.

[narrow vigil]

Well in that case you only get a maximum of three in your Tech slots

The rest are just cosmetic

[serene iron]

that's because only the first three will show in the slots

[queen ridge]

🤦🏼‍♂️

[timber haven]

Early version of my corvette...

[narrow vigil]

That's just the core of the ship. A cutaway after I took off the sides

This is what that exact same ship looks like when I have a shell around it

[umbral sequoia]

That's not a glitch...it's an intended limit. You can only have 3 of a kind reflected in tech slots.

[serene iron]

I've got six because symmetry

[timber haven]

After the retrofit...

[narrow vigil]

That is my whole point. You can build a slimmed down inner core with all the tech you need inside of it. And a small frame around that core

I'm not flying away around that hodge-podge Corvette 😂

That was just its bare Bones before adding all of the hull pieces

[timber haven]

It looks better from underneath

[narrow vigil]

This is also that exact same inner core with a different shell around it

So I have a replicable inner core with everything Tech wise necessary. And I can just build around that core to change it up.

Rather than just building a whole new Corvette from the ground up.

Again. Same core just different hull

[brazen lantern]

@steep smelt
I need arabic players to be friends

[timber haven]

Im probably going to try messing with mine tonight if I get a chance, planning on a second one more specialized but have to think about it.

[narrow vigil]

With my big Corvettes I have to move a lot of stuff around to change the looks of them. With this one I just strip off the outside and replace it with something new. While leaving the inner parts with all the essentials intact

[umbral sequoia]

That works...though I'd try to cover up the hyperdrive reactors...they look too blocky. I hid two by building them umder the ship, covered up by cosmetic bits, and I installed a dish on top of the one on the top of the ship. I didn't like how blocky and weird they look because you can't paint them and they glow so they stick out like a sore thumb.

[timber haven]

Yeah it looks like a mess from the top

[keen ginkgo]

Usually the parts that are 2 spaces long

[narrow vigil]

Yep

But it sure isn't cheating 😂

[keen ginkgo]

Though i find that the cetus reactor kinda meshes well, I genuinely never use it aside from looks because it doesnt have adjacency with anything but itself

[narrow vigil]

And it's damn near unnecessary.

I've never once lost my shield in a corvette. And I'm just using the basic shield Tech with no Tech upgrades attached.

I know they already had one but with these Corvettes we do need a new combat update. Something that balances out how strong they are

Hell just scale it up. Recognize we are in a Corvette and increase their strength and number

[umbral sequoia]

I always want to have my ships as sturdy as possible. Nothing comes close to getting through my shields now but who knows how combat will change in the future...last thing you want is a dark souls style update to catch you with shields lacking. I always go out of my way to max them though mostly with 0 or 1 SC slot into shields depending on the ship...it's usually 1 SC slot on all ships except my warp explorer and my fighter.

[narrow vigil]

If they ever drop that update I'll just take one of the stacks of shield modules out of storage and equip them.

Same with phase beams. Best we got now but it's also best to have infra knife Tech ready to go. Because they will eventually change phase beams

Roll it now and package it for later

[umbral sequoia]

Sure I guess you can do that but then you'd also have to rework your corvette for all the shield tech and you wouldn't have amazing X modules for your shields either. All my ships have 3x +38% X class modules.

[narrow vigil]

I highly doubt if they ever introduce a new combat update they will take the difficulty to the level that top Max x-class shield/weapon Tech will be necessary.

This game will never be that difficult.

"Where were you when Hello games turned no man's Sky into Elite dangerous?"

[umbral sequoia]

Probably not but better too much than too little. Plus there are only so many things worth doing once you've done everything in the game. Hunting/building and kitting maxed ships, MTs, freighter and frigate fleet, and exocraft is one of my top activities. Even my exosuit has tech I spent many hours getting an optimizing.

[quiet crow]

Yo I only have like 9 hours in NMS is there any tips u guys have for me?

[narrow vigil]

Did you get all of that legitimately or did you cheat by save scumming and manipulating RNG drops?

[keen ginkgo]

Ngl they might be offended that you assumed that, lol

[narrow vigil]

Yeah I went there 😆

[umbral sequoia]

Follow the main story...has a lot of good tutorial stuff.

[timber haven]

I like the shields being good on my ships but they dont seem to get as much use as I thought.

[narrow vigil]

Hey if rotating Corvette parts is cheating......so is save scumming Tech

I don't mind doing either one myself. To each their own

[quiet crow]

Ok, Right now im looking for a unknown traveler is that part of the main story or no?

[umbral sequoia]

100% legit...rerolling for all those maxed X modules has literally cost me millions of nanites. I think I spent over 3 million nanites rerolling for modules.

[keen ginkgo]

I dont think it was rotation, but the thought that you kept corvette modules in tech after they were removed, which would be cheating, but it can be hard to tell from looking at a vette which was done

[narrow vigil]

But no Tech was removed. Like by using the second build terminal. It's all just rotated into the same place

[timber haven]

On the mission list certain ones will be under "main missions" and the rest in the next category.
Unknown traveler one sounds like the main.

[keen ginkgo]

Yeah, im just saying thats not necessarily visually obvious

[umbral sequoia]

That should the main story yeah.

[narrow vigil]

Visually obvious is a loose term 😂

[quiet crow]

Ok tysm

Like is said im pretty new

[narrow vigil]

Hell look at Hash's bases

So much of his stuff is just items jammed under the floor simulating something else by sticking above.

[quiet crow]

Also how do i build a corvette?

[narrow vigil]

Freaking used tent poles as table legs with 90% of the tent under the floor....

[stark tendon]

are these sentinal ships good to repair im new to the game and im almost done fixing it

[keen ginkgo]

I guess i mean something like whether a player could recreate something just by looking at it

[narrow vigil]

You need to either loot salvage scrap to collect the basics or purchase your first from the build terminal in the station. Will run you about 8 million units

[quiet crow]

Ok

I have around 1 million

[narrow vigil]

You'll need a cockpit, landing pads, access bay, hab/ walkway, one reactor, one booster and one weapon. Once you have your first it's much easier to collect parts. Since you can scan and shoot them from the air.

#nms-corvette-discussion is also available if you need more in-depth information on Corvettes

[timber haven]

Sentinel ones usually are good but have a huge variation in looks.
Fairly well rounded and still use tech upgrades the regular ships do.

[quiet crow]

Thats ill try to remember this

[stark tendon]

well im still using the standard ship so is the upgrade worth it?

[stark tendon]

i got everything i need

[timber haven]

The starter ship is still usable all the way through if you want, main thing the sentinel ships had up until corvettes came along is they can stop and hover in the atmosphere.

[umbral sequoia]

Ehhhh...I don't know about that. I mean you could dump 85k nanites in it to upgrade it to S but is the damage roll even good? If not then do you at least have 3 SC slots together to fortify a weapon? Is the shield roll good? Any naturally spawned S class fighter in a non-pirate system will have within 1% of max damage bonus, with a bit of luck it has better than average shield roll and you immediately have better without having to blow 85k nanites on the Radiant Pillar.

[keen ginkgo]

All ive heard is that the radiant pillar is pretty good when upgraded, but idk anything specific

But either way, the starting ship is usable through the entire game

[narrow vigil]

I used it all through an abandoned survival run. Yeah there's better options but it's still viable.

[keen ginkgo]

Ngl I feel like any time I start a new save from here on (aside from expeditions) I'm gonna gun for a corvette first thing

[umbral sequoia]

Abandoned is a different thing because you really don't have the ability to get truly elite ships for most types. But there is no space combat in abandoned so sticking with a fighter which even at S class will have no better than 0% hyperdrive bonus and has the worst launch trhuster efficiency is the worst idea. Best case is get a corvette and build it for hyperdrive range.

[keen ginkgo]

Hold up

Types of starships have launch thruster efficiency?

[narrow vigil]

When it comes to survival, perms death and abandoned I feel Corvettes partially enhanced those modes while significantly taking away from them. Like claiming expedition rewards from the Quicksilver vendor.

[keen ginkgo]

Don't forget that new players gotta be kept in mind for difficulty

[umbral sequoia]

Yes...they did since starships started having classes and stat bonuses...explorers consume the least launch thruster fuel and shuttles(lol) have the second best.

[narrow vigil]

The difficulty slide in PD and survival is definitely reduced with a Corvette at least

[keen ginkgo]

I genuinely never noticed this

This is not true, tbh, though the main example im thinking of is the personal exocraft summoning tech

[hasty delta]

frigate expeditions being interrupted until I get back ingame and interact with the expedition has gotta be the lamest game design
If I don't respond after 30 minutes it should just continue, pain in the butt

[keen ginkgo]

But theres also the thing you gotta consider when talking about progression in games like these

[junior trench]

No such thing as efficiency, only expensive and tedious, and expensive but less tedious

[keen ginkgo]

And?

[narrow vigil]

"No real endgame content"

Best Ongoing Game 2025 🎉

The end game is what you make it.

[keen ginkgo]

This kinda reminds me of that one minecraft video where the guy complained that players can access ancient cities on day one

Like... this isnt that kind of game

The core gameplay isnt progression its exploration, discovery, and creativity

[narrow vigil]

Step one: dig down

It's not that serious

[quaint shard]

hell no

[narrow vigil]

It has more of a combat difficulty and threat to back that need up though.

[quaint shard]

within the first like 10 minutes you can get to the second highest tier of progression in terms of gear

[narrow vigil]

We don't have that need

[quaint shard]

(diamond) and enchantment comes right after that

[narrow vigil]

The radiant pillar would piss itself in front of the warden....

Laughs at dreadnoughts

[quaint shard]

i mean, i beat it with a bow and arrows with no armor lol i just went high and shot it dead

[keen ginkgo]

Progression isnt the core of either game

Both minecraft and nms use progression as a guide more than a restriction

[quaint shard]

(i havent played in a while idk if they buffed it or made it harder to do thatr)

[crimson oasis]

if there anyone willing to maybe help me get some units? im new.

[quaint shard]

but is the pirate dread thing with a starter ship the experience of most players? while yes it doesnt need cheesing most people dont do it with a starter ship

also, nice pfp 😭 i forgot to mention

[umbral sequoia]

Holy crap I was looking through my screenshots for the ship I did my permadeath run to the center with and I couldn't find it then, just found it now...sadly it was not quite finished...still had to install the emeril and indium drives in it when I took this screenshot but holy crap man. The memories of 2019 NMS hit hard lol:

[quaint shard]

imo there is kinda some challenge

like not in the conventional sense of difficulty, but more in the way that its really repetitive and getting a shit ton of materiels for every upgrade and everything costs alot and takes alot of time

space combat is just annoying to me

[narrow vigil]

It was like going against fighter jets in a flying minivan

[quaint shard]

especially on mkb

[umbral sequoia]

I had no problem with it and I played since launch in August 2016.

[quaint shard]

sine

[umbral sequoia]

You were mostly just vulnerable before you got upgrades going but beyond that combat wasn't a problem.

[crimson oasis]

well if anyone wants to help me get units please message me today.

[desert sun]

I could give you a boost in a couple hours

[keen ginkgo]

I dont get offended at the criticism of lack of challenge, I got more annoyed with the "enforced progression" idea, even though you probably didnt intend that

[umbral sequoia]

I got killed a few times when I was upgrading my ship to 48 slots in the launch version because I kept trying to fly ships without repairing their shields to the next crash site. I wasn't going to own most of those ships for more than 5 minute anyway so I only fixed launch thruster and pulse drive lol.

[royal orchid]

can you stack 3 or 2 of each reactor?

[narrow vigil]

Three of each reactor and three of each weapon stack

But three of any landing gear and three of any booster stack. Not 3 of each of these

[umbral sequoia]

For corvettes? Yes but it's not wise to just cram all the corvette tech you can because those will take up a lot of your tech slots so you're going to have to give up something somewhere...if you cram all corvette tech you won't have much space in your tech slots for anything else.

[narrow vigil]

It seems like you can fit a lot more in there early on. But once you start getting ship trails in bobbleheads you run out of space quickly

[manic ravine]

i invented a machinegun geology cannon

and now im orbitally bombarding

AHAHHAHHAHAH

[umbral sequoia]

Forget ship trails and bobbleheads...you won't fit all the actually good upgrades like S and X class modules...especially if you cram it full of useless weapons and all the reactors.

[manic ravine]

I AM DESTROYER OF WORLDS

laughs evily

ive never seen this before

i searched all over nexus mods for something like this , and i seem to be the only one of an asshat enough to mess up the game that much, but its all for science

this works online too, but i would never use it

[blazing gale]

can i found the S class of it ?

or it always be C ?

[manic ravine]

please watch my video to see why im yellinhg

why im so happy

[blazing gale]

its from dream aerial mission

anyone?

[umbral sequoia]

Oh yes...S class living frigates are the best...the ones that naturally spawn as S class can have up to 40 core stat points before perk bonuses and level ups.

[manic ravine]

this is the first time ive ever seen a rapid fire geology cannon

[blazing gale]

so i can get s CLASS not c if im lucky ?

[manic ravine]

its full auto too

i created it myself

nobody cares got it

[umbral sequoia]

Forget the dream aerial mission, just accept whatever and dismiss it, it's going to be trash no matter what.

[manic ravine]

i understand

[blazing gale]

oh ok

[white bluff]

Wierd -- I was on this world - near this position and took this shot from roof of my corvette.

I then went inside and out the side window I saw this:

Briefly it was rendering the to-horizon ocean without water - only thru the side corvette window

[blazing gale]

you found shapeshifting planet

[white bluff]

It's like that childhood fable where there were the two chinese kids and one sucked all of the water in the ocean into his mouth for some reason

[rapid orbit]

When is the next expedition? Finished this one yesterday

[white bluff]

I can't remember the rest of the story.

Does your inventory ever not have just like random holes in it?

[smoky jasper]

working on a kitchen

[desert sun]

Only doesn't because every time I move something I use the sort button

[patent berry]

I’m just looking fore someone to play with and show me how to get good, I only know the basics

[narrow vigil]

#nms-lfg-or-trades LFG=looking for group. Can find people to play with there. There's also #1418605454300549120 which have many groups you can join. Most at any level of gameplay

[white bluff]

Damn - OBS vidcap is quite choppy with DLAA on (vs TAA, as I used to use).

[patent berry]

Thank youuuuuu

[desert sun]

I'd be happy to help tonight in a few hours

If you don't mind me not using voice chat

[short stump]

I think I just found the planet with the most radiation if the game is right about its records

Mines in my bio

[manic ravine]

how is this NOT fun?

please enlighten me

because ive never hadthis much fun in any videogame ever

[sharp raft]

Pulled THIS out of my behind. Damn. C-class with bare parts that Mitey has scrounged up so far in Permadeath! Mmm the Starhip Endeavor.. community begins 🙂

[sharp raft]

what exacty are you trying to show in this video?

[manic ravine]

are you blind

nope

[queen ridge]

Is there a specific solar system that you’ll find red and black living ships in?

Or is it just random

[sharp raft]

thats a helluva ship sir 🙂

[sharp raft]

you've now lost my interest.

[manic ravine]

Don't make this about me.

good

[sharp raft]

how is it not about you when you ask "how is this not fun?" GLad you're having a good time but that's why I asked what you were tryin to show. .

[manic ravine]

a superweapon

[sharp raft]

and.. again.. my interest has waned. so thanks

[umbral sequoia]

Honestly it looks like a complete waste of time...why would I aimlessly shoot the ground and clutter my inventory with random junk? I can mine more of exactly what I want and more efficiently with a properly kitted multitool equipped for maximum resources mined with the nutrient processor having the right food...but far beyond that I don't need to mine much at all because I have bases that automate most essential resources. I can jetpack that much or close enough with the aid of the nutrient processor, without even any cheating.

[narrow vigil]

Hey look....a majestic buttercow

[sharp raft]

you got butter from that cow?

[narrow vigil]

🦋+🐮 =buttercow

[manic ravine]

i was testing a weapon out...

[sharp raft]

most intriguing

[manic ravine]

i can always delete the random junk

and i can always delete the mod

its too dangerous

[umbral sequoia]

Honestly when I want to test weapons I fight sentinels...mainly walkers and minotaurs really...nothing else matters or poses much of a threat. Not sure how flattening terrain of rocks and trees helps assess a weapon's viability.

[manic ravine]

not viability

obviously that is never useable

[raw monolith]

Yo

[manic ravine]

it doesn't..... never in any situation would someone want to use that thing

im just trying to see the limits of what the game will do

for fire rate

but wow its fun to do something the game doesnt let you do

*to me

not to anyone eelse

it is what it is

i don't care , you don't care, we all don't care, have a good day

[umbral sequoia]

I like to reach the limits of what is legitimately achievable...best modules with the best rolls on equipment with the best bonus rolls and specific use of supercharged slots, how do I want to spread their use or if I want all 4 in one tech, that sort of thing. I have no interest in breaking the game. I've got over 6000 hours in my main save and over 7800 hours in NMS total. I'm not risking losing that by screwing around with mods.

[manic ravine]

you like to obey the rules of a game

i like to bend them

[narrow vigil]

As the rule keeper said in Fatal Deviation:

"There are no rules"

[manic ravine]

to each their damn own

[narrow vigil]

Which makes you question why they have a rule keeper 🤔

[manic ravine]

maybe i should gtfo?

nah

it will be a cold day in hell

[umbral sequoia]

There probably are quite a few if you want to keep your save file alive. My main save started here...the save I took this screenshot on I still play today...it has been through every version of the game and still works today...not many were able to do that. Most day one saves did not survive to 2020, much less to today:

[manic ravine]

I'll be sure to tell my therapist about it

[manic ravine]

why do i have fun shooting rocks? hmmm.. well... I can't think of anything else to do. ship building is laggy

if i had something.. anything to do that was concrete maybe i wouldnt try to get entertainment from nothing

in this game i mean

im very bored

[sharp raft]

then go play something else.

[manic ravine]

burnt out honestly

yeah

[sharp raft]

then thats the excellent time to go play something else so you can recharge

[keen ginkgo]

Id probably advise something less sandboxy, maybe?

[manic ravine]

i just dont wanna think that i wasted my life..

[cerulean beacon]

yeah i quit this game for months at a time and come back when a new update comes out that seems interesting. this genre isn't desingned for you to play it nonstop

[keen ginkgo]

Honestly, I dont think anyone can decide that except for you

[manic ravine]

i did have fun , but...its wrong?

[desert sun]

Pretty sure most of us play like this

[keen ginkgo]

Why would it be wrong?

[sharp raft]

Mitey doesn't 🙂 Then again Mitey finds new stuff to do heheh

[desert sun]

I have a life and other games though 😂

[sharp raft]

Mitey now gonna go and eat the foods to gain the energy and get stuff done so can play a wee bit more 🙂

[manic ravine]

cmon don't make me quit

[sharp raft]

enjoy your other games. And yes. Mitey has a life 🙂

[umbral sequoia]

Did you hunt down all lore? All legitimately obtainable player titles? Are all factions and races medals maxed out? Do you have maxed upgrade modules on all ships, multitools, exocraft, freighter and exosuit? Does all your equipment have max or near max base bonuses? How is your frigate fleet? Have you put thought into the frigate type composition, which are best recruited as S class and which should be recruited as C class and raised to S? Have you learned all alien languages? Have a stasis device farm? Nanite farm? Etc. There is a lot to do in the game when you don't cheat everything.

[cerulean beacon]

less emphasis on life and more emphasis on other games:)

[keen ginkgo]

For me, I just wish that the kind of games I like weren't all massive time sinks

[desert sun]

Yup, it's what I get for being a PC gamer 😉

[manic ravine]

i played this to get away from shitty gatcha games, and it worked

[cerulean beacon]

lol

[manic ravine]

but at what cost

[narrow vigil]

X class is a gacha game though 🤔

[sharp raft]

so very true.

[keen ginkgo]

Cost? Discovering silly and interesting ways to break the game

[manic ravine]

yes

i really really have fun doing this

[agile latch]

This is actually super cute

[manic ravine]

im sorry but i do

i cant explain it

[keen ginkgo]

I dont see why youd be sorry

[manic ravine]

well some people are annoyed

[keen ginkgo]

Its kinda like lets game it out

[keen ginkgo]

One of my favorite youtubers

[narrow vigil]

Blobs better be in LNF

[cerulean beacon]

some people are always annoyed. ignore them

[narrow vigil]

All new fauna for LNF. But keep the blobs

[keen ginkgo]

Rotate blob forward 90° and we now have worm

[manic ravine]

and i can see that im annoying

[sharp raft]

objection your honor! 🙂

[keen ginkgo]

That will be lnf blob

Short worm

[cerulean beacon]

what?

[sharp raft]

okay look.

life choices and determining your place in the universe is not discussion fit for this channel.

[narrow vigil]

A lot of those style of games have blobs/flan types

[keen ginkgo]

It isnt?

[manic ravine]

umm

[sharp raft]

it isn't 🙂

[narrow vigil]

This is why I'm posting blobs. Because I'm trying to move us on from this 😂

[keen ginkgo]

Its... kinda the core theme of the game, lol

[manic ravine]

i wasnt refering to my life

[sharp raft]

talkin about this game that we all love and come together to play.. thats what this channel is for 🙂

so lets get back to that shall we? 😉

[narrow vigil]

On to proto Gek

[keen ginkgo]

I mean... this game is about that kind of existential crisis, isnt it?

[narrow vigil]

It's a freaking teddy bear

[sharp raft]

how dare you insullt my people! We did not come from THAT. ::giggles::

[keen ginkgo]

Or is that kinda more spoilers?

[narrow vigil]

||Atlas is just a 16 year old edgelord gamer going through late puberty||

[sharp raft]

its a little bit of a spoiler. but know what you mean

[forest hollow]

i wonder if living freighter's will ever be added
-# i know about living frigates btw

[cerulean beacon]

this looks really cool

[cerulean beacon]

how'd you do that?

[tulip oar]

do what

[narrow vigil]

The cat is lore

[manic ravine]

well, there goes my mood.

[sharp raft]

holy mother of overgrowth. well now THAT is hydroponics

[manic ravine]

im going back to the game..

[cerulean beacon]

all the grass and shrubs

[manic ravine]

discord waste of time right now

[tulip oar]

they are decorations you can get from the quicksilver shop

the hanging vines and stuff

[cerulean beacon]

ohhhhhh

[tulip oar]

they're really nice for the freighter farming rooms

[blazing wraith]

Maybe it's like Portals and the Nexus Anomaly: I found both of those in-game before they were functional (the Nexus Anomaly in particular weirded me out amazingly 🤣) and then NMS finished implementing them. Perhaps the Living Freighters are already out there, and we just haven't stumbled across them to tell us of Things to Come. 😉

[sharp raft]

Zark.. he needs a doctor.

I mean good heavens.. how he swallow the foods?

[forest hollow]

beauty incarnate

[cerulean beacon]

haven't gotten into quicksilver stuff much yet

[narrow vigil]

I bet he tastes like sirloin marinated in a watermelon

[manic ravine]

have you seen those flying geometric shape things?

[tulip oar]

there's a lot of good stuff there

[forest hollow]

you're probable right

[tulip oar]

i would recommend looking into it

[manic ravine]

theres animals that look like polygons

or something

[forest hollow]

until then, imma stick with my pirate frieghter that looks really cool

[sharp raft]

you might be onto somethin there!

[manic ravine]

also have you been to one of those planets that have those weird tower things with the pod on top of them? and the metal cables

[desert sun]

Oh... Those are interesting

[manic ravine]

like everywhere

[desert sun]

Don't look too closely

[manic ravine]

you can destroy those with your ship

[desert sun]

Yup

[steady mango]

freaky ahh "plants"

[manic ravine]

crash into them

they cannot be taken down any other way

[tulip oar]

let's not get into that

[steady mango]

okay

[manic ravine]

trust me i shot at them for a few mins

[steady mango]

[manic ravine]

no matter what i did they just didnt go rdown

[steady mango]

they should add some sort of boss to that area

[narrow vigil]

[desert sun]

Yup I've messed with em before

[manic ravine]

so i basically used my ship like a lawnmower

[next nimbus]

collecting these stabilized glitches is driving me batty

[manic ravine]

and mowed them down

[desert sun]

[steady mango]

those types of biomes should have more on them

they are very cool

but there really isn't anything there

[next nimbus]

how many years before I get them all

[steady mango]

same lol

[sharp raft]

...20.

[manic ravine]

im not the only one that crashes into those to destroy them?

[sharp raft]

what. He asked!

[narrow vigil]

16

[manic ravine]

the tower pod thingd

[next nimbus]

I may not have that many 🙁

[sharp raft]

well then yo uknow what they say.. make it count! 🙂

[steady mango]

when i find them I always accidentally destroy them

[manic ravine]

well i do it on purpose

[next nimbus]

any hints to finding them?

[sharp raft]

Sorry Mitey is gonna have to call PETA now..

[manic ravine]

those are not alive...

[sharp raft]

::dials up holographic transmitter::

[manic ravine]

they cannot even be scanned

[steady mango]

idk abt that...

I feel like they should be some kind of boss

where if you do something specific

[next nimbus]

like find "p" systems with lots. of moons or something

[manic ravine]

like a tripod robot thing?

[steady mango]

they all wake up

and you have to fight them off

[sharp raft]

what if they are prot-autophage.. hmmm.

[steady mango]

yes

[manic ravine]

did you know you can stand on top of them

[steady mango]

yes

[manic ravine]

unlike the rocks that float around on gas giants

those are not even solid

[next nimbus]

oh shoot, didn't realize it went past midnight UTC. Time to send my frigates out.

[steady mango]

it would be cool if they like bounced off of your ship

[manic ravine]

i tried to get on one and fell thru it

also there is sometimes lakes on gas giants

[steady mango]

ik i have seen them

they really need to add proper black holes

[manic ravine]

oh no

too sccarry

[steady mango]

im going through one rn and they are so underwhelming

they should be called wormholes

[steady mango]

imagine if they were like 2x the size of gas giants

[manic ravine]

no no

what about if we could visit the stars themselves

[steady mango]

and if you went in them they could do some weird interstellar shi

[steady mango]

that would be cool too

[timber haven]

Probably a good thing they aren't solid, would be a fast way to destroy a ship if you met a tornado full of them.

[steady mango]

they could bounce off your ship

[manic ravine]

i meant the weird ones that look like you could stand on them and ride them

[steady mango]

or break your windows

[manic ravine]

i wanted to make a house on one

[timber haven]

Or everything...

[steady mango]

yeahhh it would be sick if corvettes when they get damaged too often you have to walk around and repair them

like a broken window

or

a fuel leak

[manic ravine]

it would be sick, but it would get old fast

[steady mango]

you could just toggle it off

[manic ravine]

and then become a choire

[steady mango]

if it were a thing

[noble merlin]

This already happens with ship damage and tech modules

[manic ravine]

and i hate when things become a chore

[steady mango]

sentinel corvettes would be cool

[steady mango]

well yeah but it would require you to complete tasks inside your corvette

like

erm

idk among us

[noble merlin]

NPC corvettes in general would be cool

[steady mango]

yes

but back to the topic of black holes

what if

[manic ravine]

sure, building is work, but it is your work, not work you are required to do to get things you need,

[steady mango]

when you went in them they take you to a new type of star system

[opal glade]

hey so what do i do, it says use passport at space station core to disrupt records

[steady mango]

and these black holes could be ultra rare

[manic ravine]

work is different when you chose to do it

[opal glade]

what does it mean

[manic ravine]

vs having to

[steady mango]

I have 200 hours on nms and I have no idea what that does

[little halo]

Go to an outlaw station and use the terminal at the back

[steady mango]

270*

[manic ravine]

grinding is different when you do it voluntarily

[little halo]

The big GLADOS thing

[steady mango]

cargo runs or smth would be cool

where you cant take that much damage or smth

[narrow vigil]

Me....in a Corvette with phase beams

"What's damage?" 🧐

[manic ravine]

playing hardest difficulty ... it makes for a good time as much as being allowed to only use 1 arm

[steady mango]

you still would get shot though

maybe not have it be based on damage

but based on how many times you have been damaged

[manic ravine]

i dont know how to use phase beam. if i remember correctly they werent always good

[steady mango]

I use infra knife

more satisfying

[keen ginkgo]

Idk why that would be the case ever tbh

[manic ravine]

i use a fully powerd up photon cannon

inmy legit play i mean

[keen ginkgo]

Any laser weapon is gonna be good

Sustained laser, at least

[manic ravine]

right but.. idk it just, you can't exactly auto-aim with it

[steady mango]

thats the point

[manic ravine]

what?

[steady mango]

makes space fights less easy

[keen ginkgo]

True, but once the auto aim points you in the right direction you dont need it anymore

[steady mango]

cause rn even with a bad ship space fights are usually easy

[manic ravine]

i like that

[keen ginkgo]

Wait I didnt say that

[manic ravine]

id like it to stay like that

fights are annoying when they are all the time

[keen ginkgo]

I tend to use auto target for turning quickly to face the enemy

[steady mango]

or hg should just make space fights more interesting

[manic ravine]

a boss ship?

[steady mango]

[manic ravine]

one with all the same weapons you have?

[steady mango]

that would be sick

[manic ravine]

same stats as your ship too

same upgrades

[keen ginkgo]

Sentinel dreadnaught warps in, now featuring phase beams

[steady mango]

and have them use corvettes

[manic ravine]

so if you are all powerd up , so it would be

a sort of rival enemy

[steady mango]

and if you sre using a corvette you can space walk over to their ship and salvage parts

like in the breach expedition

[manic ravine]

what harder of a dogfight would it be to go against... yourself

[keen ginkgo]

Well I cant hit myself

[manic ravine]

or rather , a ship with all the same stuff you have on your ship

[keen ginkgo]

In my ship, at least

[narrow vigil]

Not with that attitude you can't

[manic ravine]

and it actually use them

instead of only 1 weapon

[steady mango]

ram into a space station

[manic ravine]

you dont know what im saying do you

[keen ginkgo]

Thats not hitting myself, thats crashing

[steady mango]

yes

[keen ginkgo]

I definitely do, actually

[narrow vigil]

No Kamikaze sky

[keen ginkgo]

Your idea made me think of terratech

[manic ravine]

i meant an enemy that is a copy of the ship ur using

[steady mango]

yes

[manic ravine]

with all those x class upgrades

[keen ginkgo]

Well, your idea combined with swoomish's idea

[manic ravine]

so if i fly my modded ship im screwed

if i go against it

haha

[steady mango]

cause having the salvage feature from breach actually be used would be cool

[steady mango]

its not the ship its the pilot

[keen ginkgo]

Trying to think back to another space game with custom ships and AI combat

Because those guys had problems too

[manic ravine]

that is partly true

but false to some extent

[steady mango]

[manic ravine]

unless you are some kinda ace

[opal glade]

Are black market space ship upgrades considered illegal too?

[narrow vigil]

Elite dangerous didn't do ship customization for a reason

[steady mango]

who said im not

[keen ginkgo]

I remember the AI having trouble using the range of its weapons, but that would be fine in nms because most players dont do that

[steady mango]

I dont think so

[narrow vigil]

And it was more of a flight Sim than NMS

[manic ravine]

I don't think you are

because i don't know

[quartz trellis]

The only other games I can think of with customizable space ships are the gummi ships from kingdom hearts lmao.

[steady mango]

exactly

[opal glade]

So someone scanned my ship and started chasing me and I escaped into a black hole. Cinema

[keen ginkgo]

You gotta play more space games dude, lol

[manic ravine]

i don't know *how * well you fly

[narrow vigil]

GOATED spaceship building mechanics.

[manic ravine]

so i can't just go off of discussion

[keen ginkgo]

I made a category in my steam library specifically for spaceship building games

[narrow vigil]

Like there was nothing wrong with Kingdom hearts shipbuilding. It was perfect as it was

[keen ginkgo]

I was so happy to add nms to that category

[narrow vigil]

No man's Kerbal 3

[manic ravine]

ever heard "you gotta see it to believe it"

[quartz trellis]

I don't know that many tbh. No man's sky is just perfect for me.

[manic ravine]

starfield is dissapointing

i tried right before coming here

i was not impressed

[keen ginkgo]

A lot of those games have more physics to them though

[manic ravine]

bethesda physics be like brrrrr

[narrow vigil]

Starfield proved that if you're going to make a space game at this point in time you're going to have to lure no man's Sky players in the process.

[serene iron]

like space engineers

[quartz trellis]

I agree.

[narrow vigil]

In other words you have to catch up to hello games and no man's sky. On release

[manic ravine]

ragdoll mania

[steady mango]

nms should have more flight stuff

rn it feels too

how do I put this

simple maybe

cause like

[keen ginkgo]

Man, imagine how people wouldve reacted if that was said closer to release, lol

[manic ravine]

if we can have such powerful weapons, what is there to use them on?

[steady mango]

lol

[narrow vigil]

No man's sky is not about the flight. It's exploration. What you do at point a and point b. Not the in between

[manic ravine]

what is there in the game to actually need to use them on

[steady mango]

exactly

[manic ravine]

if there was bosses

[steady mango]

we need more combat encounters

[manic ravine]

then that would make sense

[steady mango]

hard ones

[serene iron]

Space Engineers is great fun with people... though mods can so seriously cause problems with servers getting bad memory leaks when you do things like build a ship with the laser drill mod (which offsets the spherical cut of a drill by a little distance) and bore a hole STRAIGHT THROUGH an asteroid.

[narrow vigil]

Derelict freighters, space anomalies, things to do in space all came later. After the exploration and everything else

[keen ginkgo]

Hey! The journey is as important as the destination, thats why corvettes fit well

[manic ravine]

like if ur task is to destroy a whole fleet within a time limit

[steady mango]

more enjoyable flight = more enjoyable exploration

[manic ravine]

like multiple pirate vessels

can you imagine if you had to go against like 3 or 4 of the pirate ships

[quartz trellis]

Just imagine giant bosses where you can go inside and take down a core and have to escape.

[narrow vigil]

I'm sure you can find a middle ground between no man's sky and Elite dangerous. But you don't want to turn it into that game

[keen ginkgo]

Station contracts having a time limit, maybe

[steady mango]

ig

[manic ravine]

4 pirate dreadnaughts

cant claim them you have to destroy them

[keen ginkgo]

Ooh! Maybe something like the exocraft specialist quests

[narrow vigil]

I'm not spending 2 hours in pulse flight for a damn Gek coffee mug 😂

[keen ginkgo]

But for other stuff

[steady mango]

imagine having a sentinel swarm as a combat encounter

[keen ginkgo]

Those quests were actually on a time limit

[steady mango]

like

a sentinel dreadnought appearing over your planet

and swarms of them flying down

it would obviously be very rare

[stark tendon]

anyone know like a good way to get money to buy a freighter

[keen ginkgo]

I... hmmmm

How do I put this...

Thats not a winnable scenario

[steady mango]

but the

neutron

cannon

[keen ginkgo]

If anything like that happens, im running

[steady mango]

or just fight them off until a timer ends

[naive mist]

One could argue that corvettes dont fit bc they break game loops. Theyr are not set in the game world (only player can have a cotvette, npc dont even know about their existance etc.)

[steady mango]

wait i have a sick idea

[quartz trellis]

The larvae thing that can be encountered I really want to see what it would look like. Make it a fight too.

[steady mango]

sentinel roamers or pilgrims

dropping down front the dreadnought

[keen ginkgo]

That one would definitely be a "survive to escape in time" type encounter

[serene iron]

I mean... if the Sentinel Interceptors were a limited number, like when you fight the capitals, I'd be down for tearing apart a Sentinel equivalent of a Roberts.

[quartz trellis]

I only discovered it once and It was really creepy imo.

[keen ginkgo]

Did you shoot it?

[serene iron]

which, the whispering eggs?

[keen ginkgo]

The asteroid larva

[quartz trellis]

Yes and I realized you couldn't hurt it. But hurts you the player.

[keen ginkgo]

Yup

[serene iron]

oh, that encounter

[keen ginkgo]

It cant be hurt

And it can hurt you, easily

[balmy quail]

meh. the salvage material is inside some giant plant that isn't destroyable 🙁

[keen ginkgo]

Drive your ship through it

Might work

Might not, idk

[balmy quail]

it's those gigantic plant thingies 😐

[steady mango]

what

[keen ginkgo]

Worth a shot

[steady mango]

the cable ones

[balmy quail]

well, mushroom.

[steady mango]

the rocket league looking ones

oh nvm

[keen ginkgo]

The tall cables are the equivalent of such structures

[balmy quail]

😄

[keen ginkgo]

I think

[keen ginkgo]

Oh also I wanna remind you that sentinel encounters usually escalate from where they start at

[balmy quail]

found a bunch of sodium rich plants beside it. how does the game know i'm salty? 😄

[steady mango]

[keen ginkgo]

Also the sentinels go easy on us

[balmy quail]

are we able to recolour our starships yet?

[keen ginkgo]

Not entirely sure why at the moment, but its true

[nocturne sonnet]

u can color when building ship

idk after

[steady mango]

it would be cool if they dont go easy on us

[signal violet]

Is there an easy way to get the "to live forever" achievement?

[stark heath]

So like... What glyphs do i use

[nocturne sonnet]

is that warp to galaxy center in permadeath

[signal violet]

Yes

[nocturne sonnet]

watch a speedrun on youtube

[signal violet]

Ah, thanks

[stark heath]

Its the autophage mission

[little halo]

You need to look at the preceding screen, I believe

[nocturne sonnet]

i remember there should be a hint somewhere

[little halo]

Gives you clues to which ones to use

[stark heath]

Yeah and i might have had lost the hint

Unless its supposed to be at the panel

[little halo]

Just back out

[nocturne sonnet]

exit and read what the guy says

[narrow vigil]

"drink more Ovaltine"

Wtf

[nocturne sonnet]

just copy what they do

[stark heath]

Oh yeah thanks

[nocturne sonnet]

what

😳

[narrow vigil]

No man's Christmas story

All I want for Christmas is a Red Rider multi-tool

[nocturne sonnet]

all i want for christmas

is to be happy 😄

[signal violet]

I will attempt it legit, and then if that doesn't work, speedrun then..

[peak garden]

Baby sentinel

[keen ginkgo]

No, it wouldnt

[steady mango]

yes

as like

[keen ginkgo]

It might be cool for the first 10 or 20 minutes

[steady mango]

a bossfight

[little halo]

We have boss fights at home

[keen ginkgo]

Thats what we have now

Thats them going easy on us

The fact that they stop attacking

[little halo]

I think HG's opinion of 'difficult' is very casual

[keen ginkgo]

Sure

I can agree with that

[steady mango]

the sentinel dog somehow does more damage to me than the walker boss has ever done

[steady mango]

yeah

[little halo]

Sentinel doggo is the most deadly in the game probably

Maybe biological horror the first time you encounter them

[keen ginkgo]

My point is more that the sentinels attacking in more... intense ways would mean something really really bad

[steady mango]

not so intense that they destroy systems but like

[narrow vigil]

I don't play with the sentinel quad dog on PD. Not without the Minotaur

[steady mango]

harder bossfights

[nocturne sonnet]

sentinel easy

[steady mango]

yeah

[nocturne sonnet]

u just go in a building

they give up

[steady mango]

that laser decimates you

[dreamy kayak]

if I have paralysis mortar, it doesns't matter who I fight

[little halo]

Mainly because the hitbox is just so damned weird on the quad

[keen ginkgo]

The quad charges, too

Freaking superspeed

[steady mango]

that too

[narrow vigil]

"This is my private domicile and I will not be harassed!"

[keen ginkgo]

Meanwhile the quad as companion moves at a brisk jog when it sprints

[quartz trellis]

I mean I know this game was made for exploration and such but yeah I would love to have tougher fights even if they are boss fights.

[nocturne sonnet]

u play survival/permadeath

[dreamy kayak]

the real boss fight is getting passed the cologne salesman at the local mall

[little halo]

One of the original "pillars" was combat

[nocturne sonnet]

sentinel everywhere

[keen ginkgo]

Tbh a "lore accurate" difficulty mode would be kinda funny

[pliant plinth]

Hello

[little halo]

If your base exceed 100 pieces, instant swarm death

[quartz trellis]

Lol true.

[keen ginkgo]

Not instant

Slow build

Like always

But the difference is that they dont stop

[nocturne sonnet]

i want a difficulty called "very hard math" and they make u solve calculus for the sentinel terminal

[balmy quail]

is there a way to see my list of starships and their stats?

[quartz trellis]

True there too.

[keen ginkgo]

Put the observatory puzzles in sentinel pillars, lol

[little halo]

Save editor is all

[steep aurora]

hello nms gen, popped in here bc im bored

[balmy quail]

:\

[pliant plinth]

Im thinking about getting no mans sky would you guys say its worth it for a casual player to just chill after work and stuff?

[nocturne sonnet]

isnt that also easy

[steady mango]

that would be sick

just have sentinels be unkillable

[keen ginkgo]

Depends on the person

[little halo]

That's the thing it's best at

[keen ginkgo]

No, they can be killed

Its just that at some point they decided to stop escalating in their retaliations

[quartz trellis]

Please no!

[nocturne sonnet]

nms is super chill you will like it 😄

[steady mango]

almost unkillable

[little halo]

The Vy'keen were actually winning against the Sentinels, until a certain group...
