nms-spoilers

[dense quartz]

I heard people say this is like a multi-part release of one update. Like we're being spoonfed the whole intended update.
No idea how anyone could know this.

The joys of HG communication..

[knotty mountain]

This update is the first time that I've felt like the lack of communication was dodging responsibility tho

It feels deliberate

[glass flare]

I don't feel like HG are dodging anything, it just feels like some internal mismanagement is going on

[dense quartz]

Yeah everyone was waiting for the update and Sean just tweeted someone's fanart.. I mean, surely he knows everyone's waiting for him to do the thing, right?

Yeah, if it's some internal mismanagement, I get the feeling we won't ever know what happened and they'll just pick themselves back up and get back to work.

[knotty mountain]

I meant what I said in a more general sense, normally I feel like it's fine that hg doesn't communicate hardly at all, but this time I feel like they have more of a responsibility to say something, and this is the first time I've seen the lack of communication be an issue

The only thing that feels really weird is the lack of release log notes

Like if it was that they were rolling out the release in stages, wouldn't it make the most sense to say that before putting out stage one?

Maybe that's what the emojis mean but if so it was too cryptic

[summer hearth]

Isnt it always red?

[glass flare]

I think the main misstep in my estimation is not putting up the patch notes and video today and saying, "expedition starts on XX". instead they push out the update with no explanation, no notes, no Sean tweets, just silence. they've pushed out patch notes before an update goes live before, not sure why this would need to be different

[summer hearth]

Thats why it feels unfinished

This update has an uncanny feel to it

No explanation no nothing

Its just here

[royal copper]

It feels like something else was supposed to happen and it didn't

Very bizarre

[summer hearth]

It feels incomplete

Like its missing something

[dense quartz]

Like a coherent theme.

[summer hearth]

maybe thats what it is

we got atlas thing and a pirate thing

its all kinda just scattered

[full meadow]

Is it?

[dense quartz]

And a random new chart for buried ruins of all things.
Starships have a start screen for when we take off.
Some NPCs on planets have missions..

It's all so random.

[summer hearth]

it doesnt feel like an update

[lyric coral]

Well we can get clarification when the update is fully detailed in announcements and such

[summer hearth]

it is for me

[lyric coral]

I’m hoping that fleet combat is added, perhaps allow us to fight other player’s fleets

[summer hearth]

maybe

[lyric coral]

And NPCs

[summer hearth]

but considering we cant see other players freighters unless theyre in our party

probably not coming soon

[subtle gorge]

you should've been here for exo mech lol

[summer hearth]

well i wasnt

so lets talk about now

instead of past

[subtle gorge]

my point is that HG does smaller updates usually at the beginning of the year to give bigger stuff more time while still offering new bits of content

Exo mech was basically just the Minotaur

[summer hearth]

giving us smaller things to keep us occupied

[uncut harness]

Can we talk about how fn huge the atless staff is

[summer hearth]

but ive basically already did everything noteworthy like an hour of the update

[subtle gorge]

that's a lot of nms updates

[versed meadow]

Is there something special you have to do to get the pirate freighter?

[subtle gorge]

Fractal which was the first update of last year didn't really add anything new

it was a VR overhaul and some new UI stuff and some added particle effects that weren't done in time for Waypoint and that's about it
there was also Synthesis in 2019 which was another QOL update, and Prisms in 2021 which was just graphical enhancements

gamedev just be like that

(also Utopia which was one of the better expeditions)

(but still)

[full meadow]

There are 3 torpedos under the pirate dreadnought hangars lol

[subtle gorge]

lol, lmao

[uncut harness]

They are pretty cool looking I think if you are talking about the ones on the frigates they do have collision and you can actually walk on them

[summer hearth]

no

you just have to destroy the engines

and the anti freighter cannons

then you can board it

its not that hard

[full meadow]

I know about the frigate ones, I mean the actual dreadnought has 3

[late tusk]

this update feels... strange in the fact it feels like a mess up or something idk how to put it

[summer hearth]

i know

thats what i said

it feels like it was released early

where did the 8gb come from

[warm light]

Maybe your expectations were too high?

[late tusk]

no it wasnt that

[uncut harness]

Pic of it pls

[subtle gorge]

often update size doesn't correlate to what's actually been added or changed, it's them updating or replacing files

[late tusk]

i kind of did expect the space stations tho since we saw the trailer with the new ship

[summer hearth]

i mean yeah

i wasnt expecting much

[subtle gorge]

the game has had like, several 10gb+ updates and the game is still at most 25 gigs

[summer hearth]

i was mostly just expecting pirate freighters and space stations

we got the freighters

[subtle gorge]

Exo mech was like 8 gigs and again it was just the mech

[summer hearth]

where space station

[late tusk]

?

yeah see that looks finished

[summer hearth]

then where is it

[late tusk]

it just feels wierd

im still thinking some one did a oopsie

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[full meadow]

I can’t send images here

[late tusk]

like you cant look at that space station and say its not finished

[subtle gorge]

i think the most recent example of this is them showing Endurance content like , several months in advance in stuff like switch promotional images and this was before even Outlaws was out

[late tusk]

because it really does look like it

[uncut harness]

Oh you don't have the role yet send them in dms

[subtle gorge]

(different freighter bridges, the overhauled asteroid fields, etc)

[iron vine]

Wait

what is that??

[warm light]

https://youtu.be/HPgdHZn3hs0?feature=shared&t=72

[iron vine]

Ah I see

Theres more than just boarding dreadnoughts

[subtle gorge]

eventually yeag

[snow stream]

my thoughts regarding the stations and their current lack of appearance in the update is-
Hello Games chooses what to show off. They don't have anyone telling them they need to make x y or z trailer and make it flashy or whatever.
And most of the time, in fact the vast vast majority of the time, they show off nothing, specifically because it bit them in the ass before
So, when they finally choose to once more give a rare early tease of upcoming content, they show the new stations, the reward ship, the pirate freighter, and one of those atlantid orb things
3 of those things are here, they exist in the game
one of those currently does not
We had every reason to expect the stations to appear in the very next update, they showed them off! they dont do that! So why wouldn't they be coming in the next update?
Couple that with this strange, disjointed launch, with no fanfare and no patch notes, and we're left sitting here wondering what this "and much more!" is
without knowing what it is, it's hard to make a judgement call on if this update has lots of smaller content, or if it's just a haphazard mess

[shy lava]

My second pirate freighter spawn was an S-Class. Quite surprised and didn't hasitate to trade in my S-Class Venator for it.

[plain oasis]

Got mine on first. I prepared for a grind and I nearly jumped out my chair

[shy lava]

First one I found was a C-Class. Didn't bother trading in mine and was prepared for a massive grind as well.

Not needed 😄

[plain oasis]

Than someone gave me 450 starship ai valves and idk what to do with myself

[dusky gazelle]

So I'm totally wrong. Xbox gets it up the tail pipe again......

[gusty stream]

Waiting for that dreadnought to show itself

COWARDS

[livid zinc]

Tantrums 😆 (xbox)

[summer hearth]

glad people agree with me

[gusty stream]

Oh my god can these people shut up

[summer hearth]

wake me up when expedition is live

[livid zinc]

Wake me up when xbox update is live 💤

2am

[frigid valley]

Whaaa!? Update dropped announced in the middle of a week and people aren't dropping whatever they were doing to play!?

[livid zinc]

He plays xbox like me but I have patience 😆

[dense quartz]

... How did HG srew us over?
How is this guy looking at Steam player numbers for update day when there hasnt been an official trailer or patch notes?

[dusky gazelle]

Plus xbox isn't updated.

[livid zinc]

I think that's the tantrum

& pc had early access in experimental 😆

[dusky gazelle]

I'm pissed... Not the first time xbox gets screwed. Now I know it's Microsoft and it's certification process but still.

[uncut harness]

Valentine's Day too, why are these guys on Twitter 🤔

[livid zinc]

Yeah we waited a month for last update

[dense quartz]

That guy was absolutely mad at HG for that one.. For some reason.

[livid zinc]

"Because pc users are stealing content to use & clickbate" 😆

[uncut harness]

Hey are the new space stations in the update like they promised

Xbox is the last platform that needs the sale

[gaunt oracle]

Screwing over the community how??

[uncut harness]

Maybe, but not right now

[livid zinc]

Nintendo 2 hours ago:
Download no man's sky to console
Was £39.99 now £19.99(-50%)
Offer until: 25/02/2024
Price on Nintendo eShop (inc. VAT)

[uncut harness]

Wait seriously

[uncut harness]

But we also haven't gotten patch notes, and it's not on all platforms

It's not super likely

[livid zinc]

Waiting on xbox

[uncut harness]

But I'm huffing a little hopium

[livid zinc]

Not to worry you but last xbox update we were a month behind 😲

V4.48

[dusky gazelle]

but only a bug fix not a major update

[livid zinc]

Whatever 4.48 was

[dusky gazelle]

Just go to bed it'll be there in the morning

4.48 was a bug fix

[flat jetty]

[dusky gazelle]

the one that should be worried is the Switch

[uncut harness]

F I wish

[dusky gazelle]

It'll be there

[uncut harness]

I'm a switch user shut

[rancid flax]

@wind panther correct me if im wrong but as far as i know hello games has never put seemingly the entire update in experimental. i cant fault people who might of gotten confused by this

[uncut harness]

[dusky gazelle]

lol switch users are going to wait

[uncut harness]

Hush

[full meadow]

[wind panther]

Living Ships had a lot, not sure if all

[full meadow]

What role do I need to send images again?

[dusky gazelle]

I'm okay waiting at this point. Didn't get the new space stations which is what I really wanted.

[rancid flax]

that would of been around the time i started playing, so i dont really remember

[uncut harness]

Yeah, this does seem like a big deal at least the expedition change and demo stuff actually changes how save files work, so it makes sense to get a lot of testing done then slow release it and bug fix

[wind panther]

People were just looking for reasons to believe more would be in the final. I even thought the final expedition would change slightly. But people were actively trying to find reasons to believe in more.

[runic mesa]

Fractal was a much bigger deal on the Switch. That's when the offline Nexus and the non-settlement Trace of Metal was added for Switch.

[slate sentinel]

took about 40 minutes but I got an S-class pirate freighter woo, the coloring options for it are weird though

[dusky gazelle]

I just wish Sean of the Murray's would come out and at least tell why the xbox/switch hasn't come out and when it would.

[uncut harness]

I really just wanted the space stations, but the expedition, missions, and dreadnaught are awesome so I'm happy either way

[uncut harness]

I believe familiar

[wind panther]

They will never do that. have never commented on those delays in the past

[dusky gazelle]

I know

[rancid flax]

its been discussed to death already but an argument could be made that its poor communication on the devs half. an example of this is showing the new expedition ship along with the fancy new space station (that we donnt yet have) would naturally get most people thinking that they belong together in the same update

[wind panther]

Yeah, anyone who saw the stations has been wanting them for what, a year now? They are beautiful

[runic mesa]

Given that this feels unfinished and early, I'm totally fine waiting for the Switch to get a more polished update.

[uncut harness]

There are a lot of interactions in the game with the 3 races now which is sick

[wind panther]

Except it was specifically a trailer for the year, I believe. People chose to think they would go together, with no basis

[uncut harness]

Hopefully this update doesn't curupt my save and delete it like the update that added sentinel ships did

[rancid flax]

yep. again, communication

[uncut harness]

Well, thinking isn't a crime. Especially when you get 2 of the 3 things in one update

[rancid flax]

i just think the devs need to start being cleaer on things. like with waypoint

[wind panther]

It's exactly why some of the users on the LNF reddit so forcefully try to keep people from speculating wildly in an expectation sort of language

[uncut harness]

Like that actually stops anything

[wind panther]

Thinking is definitely not a crime, but expecting without justification is illogical and causes those kinds of reactions

[rancid flax]

i dont know much about that. there can be fun in wild speculation but i do agree that it can go no where

[uncut harness]

I believe the reason why the full update isn't out yet is because it's like it was in the beta they updated the beta several times before everything was available and it seems to me like it's going in the same order on the actual game rn we got the anomaly stuff we got the freighters we got the atless stuff but nothing else yet and the same was said for the beta

[rancid flax]

question for you guys: rare but big updates or lots of smaller updates?

[wind panther]

If people would listen when older users say "they don't communicate...at all. Expect that and don't expect anything based on speculation", then everything would be fine. There's nothing wrong with a solid policy of no communication, until users start posting unfounded things as fact

[uncut harness]

Lol, imagine trying to claim reason and logic about a game update. I think people just like raining on fun, and yeah just like this some people take their own wishes too seriously

[uncut harness]

Chances are it may be a week or less before the rest is here

[rancid flax]

i think its the full update. it wouldnt make much sense for it to get the 4.5 lable otherwise

[uncut harness]

Unfounded speculation isn't the problem, it's just people taking things too seriously

[rancid flax]

correct

[wind panther]

They udpated experimental multiple times to fix early bugs. Then the updates all hit internal, which I think was to test the demo system

[rancid flax]

i dont know. maybe people expected a surprise. hello games never puts the entire update in experimental first

[uncut harness]

See exactly what I mean

[wind panther]

There is nothing to indicate more is coming other than unfounded speculation

Sure, more could come, but I doubt it

[rancid flax]

^ correct

[uncut harness]

Have you seen the videos of the experimental

[uncut harness]

This is a very fun, and engaging way to think

💀

[rancid flax]

i know someone who played it. he showed me pretty much every major point of it

[wind panther]

Certain youtubers drive this kind of thing a lot, too, all for hits.

[uncut harness]

I'm giving you a hard time, but I'm not serious, I just like wild speculation regardless of it happening, I think it's fun on it's own. But I am very happy about the update so far

The missions on land with the 3 races sound like something I'll really enjoy, along with a new expedition

[uncut harness]

All im saying is the updates from experimental are probably slowly working there way through into the actual game

[wind panther]

And the worst part is it's so disingenuous comign from some people that you know know better. The hidden video has always been there. Stations were in the files a year ago. Ship racing has been in the files for years. Parts of ship customization have been in the files for years. They often accidentally leave hints in the files of upcoming changes and then pull them out later.

[uncut harness]

They are most likely working out bugs

[grand horizon]

Anyone got info on why the experimental branch isn't getting patch notes on the steam message board? Lol. Last update I see is from the 8th. Am I missing something or is this the same for everyone? Lol

[wind panther]

Because the updates were likely intended to be kept secret, such as the demo mode

[subtle gorge]

I love the entitlement here sdklghhj

[uncut harness]

It's better to hope for the best and prepare for the worst then to think negative and expect the worst to happen first

[subtle gorge]

also, that's fair!

[wind panther]

The best is to have experience with updates, dig into the files to see what is actually there, speculate about what could come based on that data, while also stating that you know it's only a possibility and the date is unknown

[subtle gorge]

a lot of features will just loiter in the game files for years

[uncut harness]

The more we all worry instead of being patient the more things get worse

Just relax and wait

[subtle gorge]

i mean, i joked about this earlier

[autumn berry]

Surprised it's not a single update. Betcha they are priming the game and making sure people dont have issues before they release the real meat of the patch.

[runic mesa]

I'm pretty optimistic that this will all be cleared up tomorrow.

[subtle gorge]

the NMS update cycle especially with smaller updates like this is overspeculation and overhype based on a lack of information, followed immediately by the five stages of grief

[wind panther]

Yes

[uncut harness]

That's the spirit

[subtle gorge]

it's the ultimate downside of HG's deliberate lack of PR

[cobalt siren]

Looking forward to the patch notes yeah

[wind panther]

I'm optimistic enough that it's close to done that I'm spending hours updating and uploading all my mods 🙂

[autumn berry]

Nothing wrong with some mystery :3

[subtle gorge]

i mean same

[cobalt siren]

We probably missing a lot because we don't know what we're looking for

[raw glacier]

Game related, but regarding artemis' fate...how can you choose whether or not to kill.

by your hand, to end pain and suffering, or to let times cruel grasp slowly take hold for your indecision...

ive only been able to complete MS once but alone in the stars....really has an all new meaning after artemis enters the simulated universe, the first voice you ever hear in a universe...just to turn out to be an echo of a broken, fractured, lonely mind

[autumn berry]

actually, I'd be fun if the patch notes said 'we fixed all this stuff, we added stuff but we wont say what we added just yet' XD

[wind panther]

But at the same time, it's a microcosm of exactly what the player is living, only controlled by the atlas. It's a perfect allegory

[uncut harness]

Stop jinxing sh##

[autumn berry]

Depends on ethics. Would you want to have immortality or an end to the story?

[flat jetty]

[autumn berry]

I'd love it at least XD

[runic mesa]

It could be they just ran into an unexpected issue with the update launch and ran out of time today to fix it properly.

[wind panther]

It could be, but is unlikely

[cobalt siren]

Yeh it could be a partial release because there was some bug with other content

[wind panther]

That's part of why they never tell you when releases are coming

So they can just delay things if they want

[subtle gorge]

it's best not to assume "other content" exists at this stage tbqh

[raw glacier]

my interpretation of the star seed story line is that the atlas IS the player in a sense, one in the same concept at heart. the player, like the atlas, unable to act, create, destroy, or die, or live without input, without being observed

[cobalt siren]

Yeah I'm just coping

I got myself too hyped for those space stations smh

[subtle gorge]

they'll happen soon, just not now

[autumn berry]

Quantum Physics becomes Quantum Philosophy

[runic mesa]

Eh, I'm used to waiting. This is business as usual for the Switch Club. No big.

[wind panther]

They've been working on this update primarily for about 6 months now, if you look at how the last update was just expedition redux. They had it in experimental for a week with plenty of updates in that time. There's no indication they ran out of time on anything

[uncut harness]

I'll be playing Pokemon for a while until the update is actually fully released someone let me know and DM me when everything is in the game on switch

[subtle gorge]

I remember when the cycle of every update release for like, NMS veterans was "oh is it a variety update" and then everyone hated it just on the principle of it not being a variety update

[runic mesa]

Sure.

[rancid flax]

i understand if people feel the update is too little too late. i think its perfectly justified to think that. but look on the bright side. at least there are no genuine complaints with what we do have

[cobalt siren]

true

[uncut harness]

I'll probably be playing Pokemon Violet and some dauntless maybe warface until then

[wind panther]

I need to finish a few missions in DRG for the old year hats 🙂

After I update mods

Then play the expedition finally

[runic mesa]

I might go back to ACNH and continue cataloging...

[raw glacier]

the atlas and the player live in a world 16 minutes from death afterall, atlas being a console being destroyed irl somewhere (possibly due to a black hole). they are both beings that adore creation and order but cant do either without input. which is why, when we start, when a USER opens a save for the first time, the console is elated to have a user again

[subtle gorge]

did i hear a rock and stone?

[wind panther]

For Karl!

I just started recently, so I'm still a newb. Just want hats while I can get them 🙂

[autumn berry]

Oh I'm sure. However the ATLAS also has an observation component as you never quite know what time you are seeing it. 16 minutes could be at any point and it could be stuck in all existences at once. Even with input, unless you go out and observe things, that input is likely ignored for the specific instance you deal with ATLAS

If that makes any sense

XD

[raw glacier]

it does, i love getting to talk like this

[autumn berry]

I talk about it all the time with a friend on here. I've just taken a small break waiting for the next patch :3

[livid zinc]

For those that missed it

[white inlet]

Ok I can't wait anymore. Is there anything new to do in the update besides expedition?

[frigid valley]

You can board and take over a pirate dreadnought
Some NPC give quests
There are some changes to Atlas Path

Just some expamples

[livid zinc]

And autophage now have staffs 👀

[white inlet]

Thank you. Seems nothing of real interest to me

[white inlet]

You mean NPC autophage?

[iron vine]

Do the dreadnoughts have any differences in appearance besides color?

[shy lava]

Had them for a while

[livid zinc]

All of them?

[shy lava]

No, not all of them

[livid zinc]

They have custom ones now

[shy lava]

They also have custom boots and other bits on them we don't have 😡

[raw glacier]

we dunno what takes place outside the simulation at the very least

[gusty stream]

They do?

Any pics

[full meadow]

Uh, my sentinel freighters hangar and control room, turned into that of a Pirate freighters??

lmao

[real sapphire]

Just asking, is claiming pirate frigate new to omega? Or was it already a thing during singularity

[frigid valley]

It's new

[peak thicket]

So whats in the new update

[real sapphire]

Oh cool, i recruited one, but only c class 🫠

[frigid valley]

I just got one for myself

[real sapphire]

Heh, nice, now i really hope we can own multiple freighters...

[full meadow]

We can’t

[real sapphire]

I cant let go of my bronze plated sentinel freighter...

[frigid valley]

Mb, recruitment of pirate frigates was possible even before update
I meant that pirate freighters (dreadnoughts) are a new thing

[real sapphire]

Oh ok

Thanks for clarifying. I wasnt playinf during singularity

Ok thanks !

[peak thicket]

Is the pirate freighter good

I farmed so hard for my S class freighter 😭

I cant let it go

[frigid valley]

Interior changed to that of a normal freighter...
I'm disappointed

[full meadow]

That happened to me but the other way around, my normal freighter has pirate freighter interior

[full meadow]

My other save did that too with pirate freighter, it fixed itself after awhile

[frigid valley]

They're a new thing, just it

A cool new thing ofc, but still

[real sapphire]

Huh.. seems like there's a bug with freighter bridge?

[plain oasis]

You're a towel

[frigid valley]

Restart of the games fixed the issue it seems

[quaint remnant]

OMEGA update?

[wind panther]

Yes

[white inlet]

Do we know when expedition starts?

[rancid flax]

nope

[quaint remnant]

I assume you find pirate dreadnought in freighter rescue battle?

[heady wyvern]

From what I'm hearing, it's all a matter of shooting up a dreadnaught until they surrender.

[full meadow]

ah ok

[quaint remnant]

well time to fuck around and find out

time to check outlaw systems

[ripe verge]

DRIPPED UP

[quaint remnant]

nah

[unborn bough]

To board the dreadnought

• Damage the engines so it doesn’t try to escape.
• Damage the shield generators in the trenches.
• Damage the weaponry.

This will bring the dreadnought to almost zero health, that’s when it will surrender. You will receive a prompt, and the option to either board the freighter or destroy it for a lot of money.

[spice gorge]

Any patch notes yet?

[quaint remnant]

haven't find much else except you can board and claim pirate dreadnought after a freighter rescue battle

[unborn bough]

None.

[quaint remnant]

my lazy ass is just gonna wait til proper patch note come out zzz

[spice gorge]

Hmm

Odd that it launched late today without the normal accompaniment.

[unborn bough]

They’re not ready yet, I think the patch notes will be out when the expedition is out.

[full meadow]

You can blow up just the guns and the engines, you don’t need to do all of the shields too

[unborn bough]

Maybe they want to have some content ready for the upcoming “free promotional demo” of the expedition for anyone to play without purchasing the game.

[unborn bough]

I’ve been blowing up the shields, guns, engines, unlike HeRo who blew up the guns first. 😉

[pine flame]

in GCUSERSETTINGS.MXML what are the item names for the new expedition rewards?

[quasi oyster]

Yeah, something is really weird ATM if there’s not patch notes yet or even trailer. Wonder if it’s a case where PS/Steam versions dropped earlier than they were supposed to, and the official roll-out was tomorrow?

[quaint remnant]

mfs be unlocking new reward before they are even out lol

[quaint remnant]

probably OMEGA or sth

[pine flame]

ik i tried like any name i could think off

[unborn bough]

Rewards are out in the game files, visible at the QS store but grayed out.

All expedition related files are already downloaded if you have the 4.5 update. You can save edit the rewards.

[pine flame]

darn

[pine flame]

save editing?

[unborn bough]

Yeah? Wassup?

[pine flame]

never heard of that

[unborn bough]

Ohh! Check out pinned messages in #nms-modding

[quaint remnant]

I think save editor needs an update btw, tried it and it said save corrupted

[pine flame]

oh ty

[unborn bough]

Our saves are stored locally, so we can edit them to add or remove stuff (for PC mostly).

Save editor will need an update, indeed.

[wind panther]

Yeah neither is updated yet

I think Winder's Consumerism mod will still work on public if you want the new items for quicksilver

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2062

[peak slate]

I heard that you Pirate Ship can actually shoot at ships that attack you? Is this correct?

[wind panther]

@hard stirrup Please remember this instance in your future calculations of consistent patch notes and trailer release times

[dusky gazelle]

Tried and when I launched NMS it said that it was an incompatible mod.

[wind panther]

Ahh maybe needs an update then, unfortunately. I'll test it when I get home and let him know if it fails for me too

Or you can run the script through AMUMSS yourself

[hard stirrup]

Trailer time has been consistent and it may yet still be. Them removing the trailer launch from release of the update doesn't necessarily mean they won't still release it at the usual time when they do release it.

[ripe verge]

DRIPPED UP

[dusky gazelle]

Plus xbox still hasn't released....

[peak thicket]

Is the praite frighten the biggest one?

[quaint remnant]

I don't think so

[dusky gazelle]

size matters not..... lol

[peak thicket]

Oh

I know but its cool having a huge ship

[quaint remnant]

I think the biggest ventor is probably longer

[peak thicket]

I have a vetenatot

S class

Idk if i should switch to pirate frighter

[quaint remnant]

if they do something else cool I guess

[wind panther]

Harrower (modded) is best freighter

[dusky gazelle]

I'm probably going to wait for someone to figure out how to change your ship via a mod or save editor. I don't want to rebuild my storage and modules.

[wind panther]

Changing your ship in save editors is easy, once it gets updated

[dusky gazelle]

yup

[ripe verge]

I CAN DO

EXPEDTION

[rancid flax]

oh nice

[ripe verge]

IDK ICOULD CONTNIUE FROM EXPERMENTAL

[quaint remnant]

is this a new quest?

[heady wyvern]

Yep. Never seen it before in my life.

[quaint remnant]

nice, gonna check what it is about

[hard stirrup]

Kind of new...it's the new end of the Atlas path where you can just turn in discoveries to the Atlas in exchange for learning Atlas words and some nanites. Nothing exciting, unfortunately.

[ripe verge]

flying carpet

DRIPPED UP

[cosmic ember]

are the pirate freighters only on experimental?

[proven aurora]

whats going on in the new experimental

[rustic haven]

Was there an update to experimental? What do you mean new experimental?

[proven aurora]

yes

there was a new update to experimental\

[rustic haven]

When

[proven aurora]

today

[rustic haven]

Not very specific

[proven aurora]

2x today

nvm

[spice gorge]

Experimental and Public are now in sync / the same.

[rustic haven]

Yeah experimental and main match

[proven aurora]

o

kinda sad was hoping for stations

[rustic haven]

Nothing indicates them coming any time soon, just sometime within 2024

[ionic crane]

@wind panther

Standing still and just opening and closing the dialog.

[wind panther]

Nope

Just live with this and be happy. It's a free update you didn't have yesterday

How is that disappointing?

[wind panther]

Very odd. @sharp inlet any thoughts?

Afaik, the Nexus is a fixed point in a system, not moving

[ionic crane]

Yeah, I figured it was an instance in a given system, since you can still access your freighter if your entry shared a system with it

Perhaps it was due to being online?

Was it being reseeded by Travelers as they joined?

[sharp inlet]

I thought it was a fixed point in Likholu, because all we actually "summon" is an Access Point 🤷‍♂️

[ionic crane]

At first I thought it was relative to what multitool I had equipped, but then I reopened with the same one and realized that it was different anyway.

[ionic crane]

At the very least it connects to the system you were in, given the Freighter access. I think.

[hard stirrup]

I mean there is the expedition that hasn't started but otherwise no. We might find out something about the update that nobody has found out yet but that seems unlikely. People are good at digging up the secrets of these things. This is it. A few bits and the expedition, which hasn't started yet.

[sharp inlet]

It connects to any system - that's kinda the point of an MP Nexus, no? 🤷‍♂️

[ionic crane]

No, I realize that.

But if that were completely the case, why can I only access my freighter SOMETIMES.

If it's accessing all systems at once in a quantum sense, surely my Freighter should either connect always or never

[hard stirrup]

No.

[sharp inlet]

Ohhh, that actually is the result of how the game checks outlaw vs regulated for teleporters - it has zero relation to being at the Anomaly, and everything to do with "where you came from." Make sense?

[ionic crane]

This was also the case prior to outlaw teleporters tbf.

But what I was saying was my instance was in relation to my entrance.

Eh, it was a quest to end the storyline.

They've got another update if they want to start something new.

[wind panther]

Yeah my point is that if you are standing still at the Nexus, no location should be changing at all, so that should affect multitool stats

[sharp inlet]

Yeah but it's ad hoc ergo propter hoc - it took HG quite a while to sort out teleporting to Freighter to begin with.

[ionic crane]

I didn't mean teleporting, I meant inventory.

[sharp inlet]

I havent forgotten that, I do have thoughts lol

[hard stirrup]

Hello Games didn't say much of anything. People did the hyping for themselves. We'll have to see how the story is in the final expedition, which might be different than it was in experimental as HG said "a version" of it would go public.

[ionic crane]

Before teleporting to the Freighter was even an option

[sharp inlet]

Again, nothing to do with where you are, just where you came from.

[wind panther]

Right was commenting in general not just to you 🙂

[ionic crane]

No. I get that.

[wind panther]

Nope

[ionic crane]

That's why I said my instance is influenced by my entrance.

[sharp inlet]

That's an assumption that's totally unfounded lmao

[wind panther]

Expedition activation does not require a client update

It's a server side change

[hard stirrup]

Not likely. Maybe a bug patch or two but otherwise no. The expedition was part of the already released update, we just can't play it yet.

[ionic crane]

Regardless of whether the Anomaly is influenced by "where I am" or "where I was," I assume it shouldn't mean that this number changes while standing still

[sharp inlet]

I think you and I see eye to eye - setting up "maintenance mode" so they just need to toss together an expedition + unlocks quarterly, maybe a yearly cleanup of old issues.

We love questions 😄

[wind panther]

I hate you! 😉 jk

Don't expect anything from HG, ever

They could have even pulled stuff out of the experimental

[ionic crane]

I think it's always nice to see the update video when it drops.

[wind panther]

Haha don't worry

[ionic crane]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g2YqU-_GtA

Like just watching these and remembering "oh yeah, that's what this had!"

[wind panther]

I don't think anyone has any negative feelings towards you

[sharp inlet]

Anyways, since I believe the plan is to hand us toys we'll later get to customize, I speculate that the "magic damage numbers" is a code conflict relating to how we'll be able to tweak the internals on our spiffy new ship and MT.

[ionic crane]

I always thought the better choice than full universal ship customization is a customizable ship class.

It worked pretty well for the staves already.

[sharp inlet]

#nms-spoilers message

[wind panther]

You're overreacting, relax

[sharp inlet]

Yeah, I think that was simply Proof of Concept. 😉

[ionic crane]

My Atlas Scepter was fluctuating from 8000ish to 14000ish when viewed.

[ionic crane]

Yeah, I figured it might be :P

[wind panther]

Nah, you should see how many people think exactly the same

Let me guess, you were on Reddit or YouTube videos?

[sharp inlet]

Good! We need all the smartasses we can GET! 😝

[wind panther]

They peddle expectations

[rancid flax]

@uncut harness a lot of people thought there could be more to the update than just an expedition. some people still do. you are not the only one

[gentle saffron]

Ship customisation was a bit of wish fired up by a fanart retweeted by sean showing some races working together on a ship 🙂

[sharp inlet]

There's a difference between debate and hostility. Youre missing it in this case.

[wind panther]

There was some ship customization new stuff in some files, but it was sparse and not at all implemented yet

[sharp inlet]

[sour fossil]

Noone has any negative feelings towards you. There is nothing wrong with asking. There is however much wrong with being toxic over not getting content dreamed out in some unrealistic expectations or fueled by armchair gaming professors from YT making clickbait for a living

[wind panther]

Don't feel sorry, just have fun

[sharp inlet]

I would feel honoured to see this copy/pasted by anyone else 😄

[wind panther]

We're having fun right now

Take 73 deep breaths

[rancid flax]

73? why 73?

[wind panther]

Prime number

[sour fossil]

I joked around with pinning Gumsk's message because of it's meaning - the update is done, delaying it further a few days wouldn't change anything given the immense scope of changes. Take what you get FOR FREE FOR 7TH YEAR and try having fun with it. If you don't - there's nothing wrong with giving NMS a break and trying other games and coming back with the next content release.

[sharp inlet]

Stop apologizing for making a mistake. You've convinced us it was an honest one so we're all good. 😉

[quaint remnant]

is this new? found on the dreadnought don't think I saw this before

[sharp inlet]

Already accomplished. 👍

[wind panther]

You're not being toxic, you're just apologizing too much

Are you Canadian? 😉

No we aren't n

!

[sharp inlet]

May I DM you?

[wind panther]

No one is making fun of you

[sour fossil]

No, that's just a proc gen freighter base, it can spawn with random decorations

[sharp inlet]

I got dis everyone. ;)

[quaint remnant]

cool

[hard stirrup]

kind of new, the end of the atlas path now lets you infinitely turn in discoveries to the atlas in exchange for atlas words and some nanites...nothing exciting though.

[quaint remnant]

guess I just don't have that deco piece unlocked

[sour fossil]

It's called Cyclonic (?) Lathe if memory serves right

[wind panther]

@uncut harness I apologize if I made you feel attacked or unwelcome. It was never intended and I like you 🙂

Big hugs

Nope you said you weren't and I believe you

[crude sand]

Ya correct, the annoying one that makes lots of noise

@uncut harness matey, we believe ya there is no harm done

[wind panther]

[crude sand]

We know you don’t matey, it’s all good

[quaint remnant]

Don't worry about it, this is the internet

[wind panther]

This is the sentiment I was replying to

[quaint remnant]

no one will care in 5 minutes

[wind panther]

I didn't care 5 minutes ago

[crude sand]

Ya we are like goldfish

[quaint remnant]

see

[wind panther]

What are we even not caring about? I don't remember 🙂

[hard stirrup]

Personally I think the big focus for them for this update was figuring out how to restructure the save files to make expeditions sort of work with existing saves and allow us to transfer stuff back and forth to and from the expedition which I think is a still underappreciated change that will let us to a lot of cool stuff.

[wind panther]

Ok I'm completely done with the forgotten thing. Not going to comment on it at all for any reason

[sour fossil]

In other news, looks like HG dropped the Star Seeds expedition name

Now all language files just say Omega

Which is... weird

[gentle saffron]

Definetly. If we really can use our good save will it be a lot more fun. No more switching between saves to do daily chores and jump back to expedition save. More immersive like Nada discovered a signal and sends you along 😄

[wind panther]

That's good to know. Thanks for the update

[rancid flax]

please. just forget about it

[hard stirrup]

Plus the Omega expedition is more packed with big rewards than any other expedition in the past...the ship, multitool, helmet, and backpack could each have been final rewards in their own expeditions. Definitely a massive step up from pets as final rewards.

[gentle saffron]

Hold up... the rewards are known?? 😄

[wind panther]

I need to work on reskinning all the different rewards

[sour fossil]

YEES, I was sick of capes and pets

[quaint remnant]

looks like the atlas eternal quest is just another endless quest...?

[crude sand]

Yeppers.

[sour fossil]

Though Singularity had the whole robotic attire, which was awesome

[wind panther]

Yeah

[quaint remnant]

sadage

[hard stirrup]

The expedition rewards you can see at the quicksilver merchant where you normally claim expedition rewards from...you just can't earn them yet until the expedition starts. Plus this expedition has been in experimental for a week now so we've known the rewards for over a week now.

[sour fossil]

Though it's painful to see HG continuing the trend of having a unique starship locked behind an expedition

[gentle saffron]

No update on xbox so I did not see it yet 😛 But that is awesome

[rancid flax]

@uncut harness sorry but i must ask: are you playing us here? there is nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about anymore. everyone here knows you meant well

[sour fossil]

Hmmmm

[crude sand]

No mate please don’t say that, trust me and us when we say it’s all good.

[sour fossil]

I could have sworn I've seen the Atlas staff having a light texture variant as well

[drowsy dune]

There is nothing wrong with feeling disappointed, and yeah we should be appreciative of what we get for free, but based on context and planned features like the new space stations and the name “Omega” it seemed like this would be a bigger update, and it wasn’t so oh well. Yeah I agree we should be happy we got anything. Being disappointed in the scale of an update is an opinion based on the update, not an attack on the developers or game. IMO the forced positivity of CERTAIN members of this community is almost worse than full on negativity 😐
And I’m not trying to attack anyone, this is just how I’m feeling 🤷‍♂️. I’m just tired of people attacking others for not liking an update or being disappointed.

But so this message fits the theme of the channel, yeah Im glad they’ve moved away from pets as final rewards, I think that it’s weird to lock certain creatures behind expedition rewards when two clicks in a save editor can turn any animal with an arbitrary restriction on adoption into a pet.

[sour fossil]

Mate I blocked you because you're spamming now

[drowsy dune]

🫵👼 Be not afraid, you are forgiven

[hard stirrup]

You worry too much about what people on the internet think.

[sour fossil]

Stop whining and start talking about the update

That's all I have to say in this matter

[gentle saffron]

@drowsy dune I do not think Omega is the last update of 2024 so the roadmap is still valid - it is february. So we will likely get another 1-2 updates this year 🙂

[rancid flax]

yes the update is underwhelming in comparison to some others. no that does not make it a bad game

[gentle saffron]

damn wrong answer clicked

[rancid flax]

if you think about it every little bit makes the game better

its better now than it was then

[sour fossil]

Yeah so there were plans to have a light variant of the Atlas staff: #nms-spoilers message

But these files aren't available anymore

[cunning plinth]

Love the game lots but I have to say the use of Omega as the title for this update is a bit ominous in light of Light No Fire being released soon.

[wind panther]

No doom spreading, it's just a name

[plain oasis]

The rewards for the expo are def worth the wait for the update, and a ship and pirate freighters

[sour fossil]

No wait actually there are still there

[wind panther]

Everything points to continued updates for the foreseeable future, particularly because of LNF

It uses the same or very similar engine, so updates there can be ported to NMS probably

[plain oasis]

I'm cool with the "slow drip".

[hard stirrup]

LNF isn't likely releasing anytime soon...not this year anyway. We don't even know all the platforms it's coming to at launch as only Steam has been confirmed so far.

[plain oasis]

That's Games not coming till 2025 lol

[wind panther]

I think this year is likely, but noone knows

[plain oasis]

It'll come out before Metroid prime 4 and halo 3 though

[drowsy dune]

It’s coming out tommorow and it will be available only on a windows phone

[hard stirrup]

lmao

[plain oasis]

Nokia Windows phone

[wind panther]

Atari 2600

[cunning plinth]

Boooo...

[uncut harness]

samsung smart fridge

[gentle saffron]

And it will start with the original snake game to determine the unchangeable difficulty. the higher your score the more overpowered you will be in the wilds of LNF

[plain oasis]

Virtual boy

[drowsy dune]

That doesn’t seem very disability friendly, how about after playing snake you also submit your full medical record, a photo of your birth certificate, and both sides of your drivers license for additional in game items

[uncut harness]

no mans sky added a second difficulty called "difficult math equations" so when u want to open harmonic camp u gotta solve a calculus equation

[hard stirrup]

Soulja Boy Console Exclusive, you heard it here first!

[plain oasis]

You win this one

[gentle saffron]

DIsability friendly on a windows phone? 😉

[uncut harness]

pls both side of credit card too

[wind panther]

KFC console

[raw girder]

Do we consider omega as an update?

[sour fossil]

Folks keep it on topic please

[wind panther]

Yes

[plain oasis]

It runs on the tamagotchis from the 90s

[gentle saffron]

of course. version changed from 4.48 to 4.50. That is an update

[wind panther]

Omega is an update and there will be other updates, and there was no 2024 roadmap published afaik

[mild scarab]

Did Sean eat the fucking patch notes??

[drowsy dune]

Yeah 😔 hopefully we’ll get them today

[crude sand]

I bet they were tasty

[plain oasis]

I'm excited for the expedition

[raw girder]

Ok thanks I liked the 2023 year end developer update which fixed many bugs than omega

[hard stirrup]

Well it is an update...a fairly slim one outside of the expedition but not the smallest. Bytebeat and exo-mech updates were smaller. But this is the biggest expedition so far, at least as far as rewards go.

[drowsy dune]

I mean leviathan was an expedition but ended up being my favorite update of that year, so I’m hoping this expedition will be good

[plain oasis]

But the bytebeats are fresh

[sour fossil]

There are much more changes behind the scenes than you see

If it weren't the case, mod authors would not need to upload 90% of all mods to be compatible again

[drowsy dune]

Good thing hello games gave us a list where we can read about all these changes ☺️

[sour fossil]

That's a fuckup, I'm not denying that

[quaint remnant]

So far I have only found dreadnought you can claim and a new endless quest

not sure what this is about

[sour fossil]

But trust us modders when we say there are some proper changes

To all kinds of missions

[uncut harness]

i have high hopes that since we can use our current saves its going to be a difficult expedition

like leviathan

[sour fossil]

Alright time to stop spamming and start updating shit

[wind panther]

Yeah a decent amount of structural changes

[crude sand]

So like because I’m a Xbox pleb and haven’t got the update, what do you have to do to claim the pirate dreadnought?

[quaint remnant]

in rescue battle

[wind panther]

Damage it but don't destroy it

Wait for a message of surrender

[quaint remnant]

just beat it up until it gives up

[hard stirrup]

Random RNG missions you can get from NPCs are minor settlements...but there is not much reason to bother with them imo.

[gentle saffron]

doubt that as new players would have issues then (like me with a fresh 8hrs save cause switched to xbox XD)

[crude sand]

Ah ok so you get a message

[raw girder]

Yeah but I feel like stretching updates to make them available throughout the year but in small quantities to make people coming back. I think after 7 years they could just release one big update once per year no other updates

[uncut harness]

destroy engine, destroy the turrets

[plain oasis]

I'm liking the farming of nanites through the atlas. Nifty

[wind panther]

You don't get to bring all your stuff, just a selection of packed tech and items and you gave to get to the Nexus before you get them

[drowsy dune]

Yay I love no mans sky missions! now we can take 11 photos of our favorite geks left nut for planetary NPCs too!

[wind panther]

So it's not a big balance change

[uncut harness]

u will have a month dont worry

[crude sand]

Them specifically? Or can you go for just shield? Is it dependent on the ships hull damage or “structures” you destroy?

[uncut harness]

idk it seems like thats how it works

[hard stirrup]

I don't think Hello Games are deliberately trying to keep updates small...after all Echoes was the biggest one yet with a new race, new questline, two new factions, a whole new language to learn, two new types of multitools, ect. But you know...that stuff takes time to make. Not all updates can be massive.

[plain oasis]

Whenever the space stations drop will probably be a big one.

[quaint remnant]

either
destroy turret > engine
or
deal enough damage for it to run then destroy engine

[hard stirrup]

Probably yes.

[crude sand]

Oh kay den

[quaint remnant]

I haven't try just shooting the hull

[summer hearth]

Its faster to ignore torpedoes and just shoot engines and cannons

[crude sand]

Ah ok sweet seems pretty simple.

[quaint remnant]

I think if it still has the engine it will try to run instead of surrender

[wind panther]

Yeah get engines for sure

[drowsy dune]

Guys if you analyze Sean Murray’s latest tweet you’ll see that it showcases a brand new feature. New lights

[wind panther]

Please God say this is sarcasm

[hard stirrup]

lol

[crude sand]

We not gonna talk about the open cockpit

[plain oasis]

LMAO

The lighting is fabulous

[wind panther]

I could honestly see a non ironic post like this on Reddit

[sour fossil]

You misspelled Steam forums

[wind panther]

Haha they're more just confused people that don't understand anything

[crude sand]

Sad part is I know there will be people analysing this as if it’s HG sending us a message.

[wind panther]

Yeah

[plain oasis]

Dudes a troll. Drops art depicting them customizing a ship an hour before dropping an update lol

[crude sand]

It’s good fan art tho I dig it

[plain oasis]

It's good trolling too lol

[drowsy dune]

“Guys are these building parts new? I’m getting back into the game again”

[crude sand]

Should have been a fan wing tho

[crude sand]

Damn, I’m getting PTSD

[plain oasis]

I went from 4 billion credits to 282 mil

[crude sand]

Ya there will be 4 engines

I think

[hard stirrup]

Buying slots does that lol. Have to be careful and not just spam the buy slot button.

[plain oasis]

I spent it on nip nip

[hard stirrup]

At any rate, just 6 hours and 36 minutes until we can play the new expedition woohoo!!

[plain oasis]

This reminds me I need to sleep lol

I need to use the sleep

[crude sand]

Destroy engines then just go for shield, if required take out turrets if they are causing trouble, but shield mainly so you can deal hull, after the update I’m not sure how much changed so yeh

[hard stirrup]

Also the expedition start time is that time again that Hello Games like so much, 2pm uk time. That's probably when we get the new trailer and patch notes shouldn't be too far behind.

If someone minds that you shouldn't care lol.

[wind panther]

I look forward to expeditions. They are the only time I really play the game much anymore

That's normal for NMS updates

It's because of how files are stored

I think most of the spoilers are out now. We're just relegated here because some people don't have it yet

I'll post some reskins in here shortly

[hard stirrup]

I need to jump in game and put some stuff together to send to my expedition save like some stasis devices, a few stacks of Runaway Mould, that sort of stuff. Don't have to bother with tech as I'll be able to copy a ship and MT into expedition save from my main save.

[wind panther]

Anyone have patterns they like for the ship? I'll do some digital camo versions

[raw girder]

Nah I don't feel any of last year's update if seen individually as major. battling pirate freighter could have easily an update in the first three years but they added after seven years and owning a dreadnaught could have easily another feature of echoes but no they moved that to omega.new type multi tool,new language? seriously that are good cosmetic additions only the new starship type from interceptor update and the robot spiders were the cool and actual updates we got last year.

[wind panther]

Sentinels was a huge undertaking. The model work that went into those parts working together in procgen should not be understated

[hard stirrup]

What do you guys plan to transfer to the expedition? What would be good beyond obvious stuff like sellables for units and stuff that refines into nanaites? Maybe a pre-crafter portable refiner Mk. 2.

[wind panther]

Need to look at the milestones to see what is needed. I'll probably just do a fresh save

[hard stirrup]

Some tech for exosuit maybe since I don't think our main exosuit starts with our main save slots and tech. Maybe I could fish aound some dissonant capms for a few exosuit expansion slot items I can transfer...seems like a good idea but time consuming.

You start on the same planet but I highly recommend you immediately disable all multiplayer...when there are that many people in one place the game can get laggy, buggy, and you all compete for loot...if there's a great multitool at the space station and someone buys it you won't see it, etc....unless you disabled multiplayer before someone grabbed it.

You don't start with that stuff though. You have to make it to the anomaly before you can claim it. Plus disabling multiplayer will likely save you a few crashes anyway.

[gentle saffron]

Or if you like to have multiplayer: At least disable pvp in this case.

[crude sand]

Oh actually I got a question, how is transferring the freighter base over to pirate? Any discrepancies or does it work as normal and the same as any other?

[hard stirrup]

Yeah, at minimum disable PvP.

[wind panther]

Thanks for the shot

[subtle gorge]

if you look at the image that sean posted you'll notice that a vykeen is giving a gek a fucking wedgie this means that the first spawn are finally coming back guys!

when is the gek wedgie emote sean

[summer hearth]

is the pirate freighter considered a capital freighter or a system freighter?

[sour fossil]

Yeah it's a nice touch

[hard stirrup]

Capital. Need special encounter to see one.

[vivid terrace]

The OMEGA update invites everybody to embark upon a new shared interstellar expedition. Featuring a complete overhaul of expeditions, new on-planet missions, claimable pirate

freighters, and much more!

• A new expedition system allows Travellers to join with bespoke provisions, favourite starships, custom Multi-Tools and return with loot and exciting rewards.

• New Omega expedition invites all Travellers to answer the call of the universe together.

• A huge array of new planetary missions challenge players with quests specific to an alien lifeform's locale, climate and personality.

• Defeat pirate freighters in combat and board them to demand control.

• For the first time, take on the universe with a fleet of frigates led by a dreadnought capital ship.

New in-game patch notes
Idk if people have seen this yet

No idea

[summer hearth]

custom multi tools?

[hard stirrup]

NPCs at minor settlements.

[vivid terrace]

I just wish we had more building stuff. Or more ship additions 😦

[summer hearth]

freighter battles would be nice

want to actually use my anti freighter cannons

[subtle gorge]

i mean the missions were always there they just were kinda ass

im hoping you can still chain several autophage camps together

that's how i grinded out autophage rep early

[hard stirrup]

New building parts usually come from community missions slowly over time.

[subtle gorge]

i don't know

i haven't played the game in a bit

[wind panther]

oh crap, I guess I need to add trails to the new ship probably

[sour fossil]

Make them wide bois

The exhausts are like what, 1 meter across?

Prolly even more lol

[subtle gorge]

honestly the rework to expeditions has me excited

in general the update just seems pretty good

just, nothing groundbreaking

[wind panther]

Unfortunately, can't change the trail shape. I've tried before

[subtle gorge]

someones pet

[wind panther]

I also tried placing a metric @$^-ton of trails really close together to simulate a bar for the Millenium Falcon, but it didn't work

It doesn't look right I mean

I had 60 trails on that model 😛

[subtle gorge]

how did it run

[sour fossil]

Add 60 temporal trails

I dare you

[subtle gorge]

:3

[wind panther]

Fine ,no lag that I noticed. hah, 60 temporals might cause issues

Normal trails are just a very low res texture stretched

[hard stirrup]

It is huge. Being able to transfer stuff back to the main save has me thinking of shenanigans like having both the Star Seed and mark of the denier on my main save at once lol. But I also kind of want to have Artemis' Translator on my main save because I finished the Artemis questline before it was rewritten to include that tech. It would do nothing for me because I already learned all the words of all the languages but I still want it lol.

[sour fossil]

@wind panther do you know if there are any new substances this update?

[hard stirrup]

Language stones and monoliths.

[wind panther]

hmm, just those two engines, guess it doesn't need more trails

[subtle gorge]

it means that anything you accumulate in the expeditions isn't just wasted anymore

[wind panther]

I can look, don't think there are new ones

[subtle gorge]

i can't believe no mans skys economy is broken again /j

[hard stirrup]

Yeah. If future expeditions start with crazy ships that have unique tech we can transfer them to the main save. Or that unique warp tech the freighters got at one point. I hope HG re-run some of those expeditions now that we can link them and transfer stuff to our main saves from them.

[subtle gorge]

honestly something i'd like to see now that expeditions are just being integrated into the core experience wholesale is just..being allowed to run through them whenever you want?

[hard stirrup]

No idea. Never used it, never will. But it might be broken now since the save file structure changed.

[subtle gorge]

change the non-exclusive rewards just a smidge so that they aren't as power-creepy for late arrivers

heck like

speedrunning expeditions is a subset of the community

make that part of it

[hard stirrup]

That would be nice. There is a ton of stuff I'd like to transfer to my main save from previous expeditions.

[subtle gorge]

it'd also allow them to make more story-oriented expeditions that don't feel as superficial

like as good as Singularity was it's story was basically just a prologue to Echoes. not a bad thing inherently but it's main appeal was teasing a much better story

which is ironic because Interceptor seems to be considered the prologue

i think expeditions as like these small self-contained experiences that aren't tethered to fomo is an interesting space

Jesus, that took longer than expected

[sour fossil]

Im sorry to say this but I asked about substances

[wind panther]

And of course now that I think about it, I could have done it a far easier way. Oh well

I hate you

[soft sonnet]

"Against all the evil the sentinels can conjure..."

[wind panther]

No new substances

None removed either, fyi

[sour fossil]

Gracias

[wind panther]

De nada

[glad palm]

The white/gray things next to the engines look terrible

[wind panther]

I'm not sure what you're talking about

[exotic iron]

what does showing a wonder to the atlas do

does anyone know

[glad palm]

This things

Like...why?

[granite blaze]

featuring DLCs: The Ancient Machines part 1 and The Ancient Machines part 2

[wind panther]

Hmm, I'll load it up in Blender later and take a look. I could take them out of the model I suppose

[granite blaze]

still no patchlog?

[wind panther]

I doubt it would be a very popular mod though, probably not worth the effort

I'm loading up the playercharacter model now to mess with the new helm, pack, and staff

Need to see how they are implemented

[unborn bough]

Some tiny bit is in the pins, if you wanna look at it.

[wind panther]

The joys of loading up the playercharacter model

[hard stirrup]

2pm uk time when the Omega expedition starts...expect trailer and patch notes around that time.

[analog breach]

This update highlights lack of communication with HG. We dont know what it going on. If it was meant to happen or its a major bug or hg got flooded again. We can only wonder and wait. Sometines zendesk is not enough.

[wind panther]

If you've never seen it, this is the monstrosity of the playercharacter model

[crude sand]

So beautiful

[sour fossil]

Still better than a Vykeen

[analog breach]

All cosmetics ?

[sour fossil]

/jk

[soft sonnet]

peak performance

[wind panther]

Yeah, all player appearances are stacked in one scene

[sour fossil]

Show them the merge of all Interceptor parts

PC proceeds to explode

[exotic iron]

like all possible combinations?

or all pieces

[sour fossil]

All pieces active at once

You get a biblically accurate starship

[analog breach]

It looks metal.

[hard stirrup]

Hello Games never communicated with us and never really told us anything until stuff dopped. But no, I don't think anything is wrong, I just think they didn't feel like saying anything before the expedition start time, which is in about 5 hours and 20 minutes or so. You'd think after over 7 years of this people would be used to it.

[wind panther]

Oh god, I don't remember how long the interceptors take to load on this laptop

[exotic iron]

what body size positions do the pieces default to

[unborn bough]

Everything

Body size, all cosmetics, all of it stacked at origin

Same stuff as it is with any ship

[analog breach]

Thx. gumsk already confimed it 🙂

[unborn bough]

Interceptors were fun. 🤩

[wind panther]

Much better

[glad palm]

@granite blaze

[unborn bough]

Most of the interceptor

[analog breach]

Would want

[exotic iron]

why is there two lines about the expedition lol

[glad palm]

I was wondering the same lol

[exotic iron]

they goofin

[glad palm]

Lack of stuff to write? no idea

[soft sonnet]

I dont understand the "planetary missions" part, whats that mean? space station mission? and they just added a bunch more variants to them?

[unborn bough]

These are in game patch notes, they’re never complete or detailed. Correct patch notes will be available on the website when they release them.

[analog breach]

Missions that you do on planets maybe?

[soft sonnet]

what missions

[exotic iron]

i kinda wish they'd go more in depth on more of their systems instead of adding more

they're getting minecraft disease

[sour fossil]

LMAO poor guy

[unborn bough]

Interesting, now they all have staves?

[sour fossil]

Not sure if all of them, I'd say majority

[unborn bough]

That’s cool

[soft sonnet]

so are those the missiosn you get from space station mission agents? or is there a mission thing on planets ive somehow not known about this entire time

[unborn bough]

The title of that post says “planetary NPC mission”…

[sour fossil]

It says "Planetary NPC"

So prolly from talking to NPCs found at various planetary PoIs

[analog breach]

They are upgrading. Soon they will look super high tech like monolith mt 😆

[soft sonnet]

I dont recall ever getting a mission from an npc on a planet, besides doing something with another quest that has me interact with them

[unborn bough]

That’s… the new thing?

[analog breach]

Cough autophages

[unborn bough]

Why do you wanna over complicate stuff for yourself?

[exotic iron]

this update is feeling kinda underwhelming so far

[soft sonnet]

ok so its not me somehow having missed it and its an entire new system, the wording seemed like it was already a system that was expanded upon

[white inlet]

Expedition rewards look pretty cool so there's that

[clear orbit]

anything new about if there will be a trailer (i mean because of the experimental stuff before the update they might have not been making a trailer)

[midnight stream]

thats on purpose, so that future updates will seem even more awesome

[unborn bough]

Nah! It’s a new system they are trying to implement

[exotic iron]

well i mean after the expeditions over you have a bland update

[soft sonnet]

I haven't found any of the new stuff really, besides the atlas eternal quest which just seems to be another infinite thing you can do for some nanites idk where the rest of the update is

[white inlet]

I'll get my fix from expedition so I'm good with just that

[wind panther]

After the update is over, you still have more content than you did a week ago

[exotic iron]

you got nanites?

[unborn bough]

main topic of interest for me is why they’re trying to release a “demo” version of NMS freely available for everyone to try.

[soft sonnet]

yeah I did it twice, both times the atlas just gave me nanites and nothing else really happened

[real merlin]

Most are not game changing updates

[wind panther]

Probably like most things, it's a trial for LNF?

[unborn bough]

The demo will have the expedition for everyone to play, even if they don’t own the game

[midnight stream]

what? 4 real?

[unborn bough]

Yeah

[white inlet]

That's pretty neat. That's like a 15 hour demo

[midnight stream]

weird move for a game of so many years of lifetime and of such great fame

[soft sonnet]

sounds neat, if a little odd

[glad palm]

But once expeditions finish?

[soft sonnet]

like thats a really strange thing to do but I cant think of any reason to say no to it

[unborn bough]

I think this is how they wanna up the sales, bring in more people.

[unborn bough]

Then you buy the game if you like.

[midnight stream]

u probably buy the game

[unborn bough]

Expeditions will never finish, technically. That’s the new system in this update

[glad palm]

Explain

[fleet nacelle]

i updated nms and nothing different xD

[midnight stream]

well, the new system changes and spicies up things, but does it really ensure a never-ending stream of expeditions?

[glad palm]

But tell what is changed

[soft sonnet]

so does that mean they're finally phasing out timed exclusive content? cause that has been one of my biggest issues with the game, slightly aleviated with them redoing expeditions occasionally but still a problem

[glad palm]

I used to do expeditions back in the days but havent done the last few

[analog breach]

I like the demo idea

[midnight stream]

u no longer need to make a new save to partake on an expedition, instead u use a new thingy on the anom from ur main save and can even choose tech and items to bring to the exped

[unborn bough]

Once we have the expedition available to us, hopefully starting in less than 5 hours, we will be able to access the “expedition save” from the sapce anomaly at any time.

[glad palm]

Wait wait, i can bring stuff from main save to expedition? Like what? and how many and what happens when i finish the expedition?

[unborn bough]

This update is setting up the foundation of a major gameplay change for the future

[soft sonnet]

so no more playing as random joe with a crap ship and doing the expedition as your actual self

[midnight stream]

the update snippet also mentioned smth implying u can even take ur ship from ur main save to the exped i think

[wind panther]

New Atlas gear is doing something I don't understand for the colors. Have to dig into it more and learn new stuff I think

[unborn bough]

Yes. 10 technology, 30 or 40 cargo

[glad palm]

I can bring my S class tool my S ship ?

[unborn bough]

You can bring your best in slot stuff into the expediton

[unborn bough]

Yes!

[glad palm]

Noiceeeeeeeeeeeee

[midnight stream]

im not sure on the details but this has already been covered by videos of utubers who took part in the experimental branch of the update, such as cpt steve

[unborn bough]

Wait, not the tool or ship

Modules

[analog breach]

Taking tech from main save is very op feature imo. (Brings stack of stasis devices and infra knife modules)

[soft sonnet]

now before I start an expedition instead of thinking "ok start new game and here we go"

I can think "Gentlemen...lock and load."

[unborn bough]

You can get your S class stuff normally from the previous expd at QS vendor. Golden vector, Utopia speedster… but you’ll have to upgrade them and stuff

[wind panther]

You have to get to the Nexus before you can get the stuff, so the first system will be without extra stuff

[midnight stream]

then why does the changelog snippet mention "favorite ship"

[unborn bough]

But the best modules you have it can be ported over to the expedition

[fleet nacelle]

What atucally changed in the game bc i cant find anything different xD

[midnight stream]

the version number has increased

[unborn bough]

Oh I did not see this line… lol!

[fleet nacelle]

that be it ? XD

was like 14gb

[midnight stream]

that and new content

[unborn bough]

When i tried to activate shit in anomaly it said no expeditions available yet, so most of my testing is based on what others have done on experimental

[soft sonnet]

I still cant find any trace of my game downloading the update despite it clearly being applied in game

steam ninja installed that shit

[unborn bough]

Lol

[analog breach]

You can peek exp rewards in qs shop . New terminal on anomaly

[fleet nacelle]

i sad i was hoping for something to look different xD

[waxen abyss]

theres a bunch of qol improvements too

[unborn bough]

New terminal, new Beam portal right under the multi-tool decommissioning area.

[midnight stream]

#nms-spoilers message

[unborn bough]

better lighting

for some reason.

[soft sonnet]

I did notice the "main engine ignition started" thing, thats kinda neat

[unborn bough]

new decals

[soft sonnet]

oh yeah and the teleport thats useful

[unborn bough]

new mission icons and stuff

[fleet nacelle]

wut ? im in spoilers already haha

[midnight stream]

click and read the changelog snippet

[unborn bough]

Everything feels different in the game after this update, as if it's laying the bricks for what's to come.

[unborn bough]

they're pointing you to the message.

[waxen abyss]

opening locked things like atlaspass stuff doesnt waste a second unlocking stuff first, it just opens directly now

[analog breach]

Imo that portal is useless. Move it to landing pad area in front on nexus. Other one to the back with tech vendors

[waxen abyss]

that speeds things up a little bit

[unborn bough]

they're not telling you to go to spoilers channel... lol

[midnight stream]

nope, we are not

[unborn bough]

I found it funny to be there.

I can already see a lot of accidents xD

[fleet nacelle]

I looked at the expo rewards - ||i wasted all my time upgrading my staff just for them to pull that thing out || lol

[unborn bough]

kek!

also, since it's the spoiler channel you don't need to spoiler tag stuff here xD

[midnight stream]

imho its impressive but a bit over-the-top

[unborn bough]

anyone looking at chat here is ready to be spoiled.

[midnight stream]

i was a spoiled brat long b4 coming in here

[unborn bough]

lol

[fleet nacelle]

yeah but jus for people here for spoilers outside the update haha

[soft sonnet]

ive seen someone in the anomaly with the expedition ship already, im guessing they save edited it in

[sour fossil]

Does it? That's a nice little QoL improvement

[fleet nacelle]

Pingu

[fleet nacelle]

save editor having updates before nms xD

[soft sonnet]

hey no harm doing that, im guilty of save editing stuff too its fun

(mostly to max out X upgrades)

[fleet nacelle]

are pirate freighters all the same size

[midnight stream]

yep. size doesnt matter

[unborn bough]

just saying, it makes no sense xD

[sour fossil]

Playing with my mods off, I can't understand how you folks can play with all those streak lines when pulsing

God bless whoever made the mod that Im using to reduce them

[unborn bough]

the channel is nms-spoiler. kekw!

[soft sonnet]

they never bothered me

[fleet nacelle]

gonna make me black out xD

i hate them

[unborn bough]

Doesn't bother me.

[soft sonnet]

hey you can just move your upgrades over to the new one

[midnight stream]

our brain has developed pulse streak line neural dampening since years now

[unborn bough]

makes for great screenshots too.

[wind panther]

Save editors aren't updated, unless it just happened. Only way right now to get the rewards is Consumerism mod, I believe

[sour fossil]

Or raw JSON edits?

Or does this require updated mapping as well?

Dunno if product IDs are coded as well

[fleet nacelle]

spent over 20 hours hunting my combo haha

[wind panther]

If you can get into it. NMSSE won't load it to let you raw json, and not sure if the other will

[analog breach]

Already sended feedback with moving request.

[soft sonnet]

waiting for the stuff to start up here now

[ripe verge]

Drip check?

[fleet nacelle]

how does one get a pirate ship if it exploded xD

[ripe verge]

Fallen visionary of atlas

[wind panther]

You don't explode it

[ripe verge]

Status: disconnected from atlas

Ship status: intact

[fleet nacelle]

no kapow ? what i meant to do ?

[uncut harness]

How is everyone doing

[ripe verge]

FURRY ENTITY???

[wind panther]

Take out engines, then shields, do some damage until you get a surrender message

[soft sonnet]

same way you hire pirate frigates after defeating them: you dont blow them apart first

[uncut harness]

Yes I'm a actual furry why did you respond like that lol 💀

[wind panther]

don't blow it up. They are less likely to surrender if they don't exist anymore

[fleet nacelle]

oh i hired pirates before and ive always blown them to pieces xD

[ripe verge]

No all good with that where omega sign?

Ω

Here you go

(:

[uncut harness]

I'm not putting on until the full update is released on all platforms

[ripe verge]

Ahhh

Ok

[fleet nacelle]

oh mine just said preparing to hyper jump then i blew them up, guessing i didnt blow up the engies

[wind panther]

Yeah, if the engines are gone they can't escape

Engines first

[soft sonnet]

I always took out the engine first regardless because in the event I cant defeat them before the freighter goes down

they're not going anywhere...

[uncut harness]

HG aint isn't getting my respect until they fix their crap and update the game completely and release it all on switch

[analog breach]

So never???

[uncut harness]

I have a feeling they will be releasing all the update soon

[ripe verge]

Looks cool ngl

[hard stirrup]

That's never happening. It's not a realistic expectation either. Be happy it runs on Switch at all.

[wind panther]

There's not more to the update coming. Other platforms likely aren't being held back by HG, more likely by the platform companies

[uncut harness]

Im talking about the new update that everyone has already

It's going to be on switch eventually

[wind panther]

PS and Steam have it. Xbox, GoG, and Switch don't have it. I wouldn't say 'everyone else'

Sorry, Apple has it too

[hard stirrup]

Nintendo is bad hardware. It takes extra time to make stuff work for it. Expecting stuff day one for it is also not really realistic.

[wind panther]

Pretty sure they don't release to one platform until they are ready to release to all platforms. It's just up to the platforms to handle it after that, which is where the discrepancies come in

[uncut harness]

Why is everyone here so negative about switch and saying it isn't going to get the update eventually sure it won't be at the same time as everyone else it may be late but it's going to come to switch

Did you not see the videos talking about how it's confirmed to be on switch

[granite blaze]

is this how every game makes character customization

[wind panther]

No one said Switch isn't going to get the update ever. I think there's some miscommunication happening

[uncut harness]

Learn how to be optimistic

Instead of relying on negativity

[wind panther]

What are you even talking about?

[granite blaze]

slapping every cosmetic on the scene sounds both weird and reasonable to me at the same time

[hard stirrup]

Yeah but nintendo is particularly bad hardware...and very different from the main consoles and PC. Development for main consoles and PC can be done basically at the same time with relatively minor tweaks. But for Switch everything has to be handled separately and is far more difficult.

[ripe verge]

My literal covo regarding that

[wind panther]

I don't think they handle it separately. I'm pretty sure they have their process setup to do everything at once then some sort of handler that makes necessary changes for each particular console automatically. I don't know for sure, but I can't imagine they would do it separately

[sand karma]

They would generally submit them at the same time. Unless there is a platform specific bug or blocker. Though GOG not getting it yet is interesting. Might require a different trial setup

[wind panther]

The packed files are almost identical, once you deal with different compression methods

[sour fossil]

Considering we are seeing Switch assets in files unpacked from PC versions

There are likely to use the same codebase

So once they get it done for PC, it should be only a matter of authentication / verification from the platform provider

[hard stirrup]

If that were true NMS would have been on Switch several years before it was actually released.

[unborn bough]

Chill out with this conversation on Switch's update scene or I start handing out mutes (an in some cases, bans). Ever since the release of the game on Switch it has received all of the following updates. We have strict rules on platform war, baiting, instigating, take a gander in #server-rules.

[sour fossil]

By the same logic we could argue that Xbox version should be released the same time as PS and PC

Which it did not

[wind panther]

What?! That doesn't make any sense. The time they spent was developing the process to convert what they have to work on Switch, but once they have the process, it runs every time. They don't go in and redo it every time

[sour fossil]

There's more to game development than just hammering the code

[hard stirrup]

I didn't realize it was such a hot topic lol.

[gentle saffron]

no. The NMS codebase needed huge changes to convert anything to settings. Hence the switch is has settlements disabled. They needed to change evrything to toogles. Available: Yes/No and do not break the game. That was the difficulty on switch nothing else.

[past shuttle]

Sean just tweeted the update list with an omega at the end

[safe kiln]

seems the update is considered yet to come

[wind panther]

Some reduction of model complexity in some places, but yeah, it's a set process they run once the core codebase is ready

[past shuttle]

Hopefully they actually drop some official patch notes soon

[sour fossil]

Yeah but on the other hand

[gentle saffron]

uh. three placeholders in the tweet. that is very interesting

[sour fossil]

People will use these patch notes to justify their toxicity

LOOK HOW LITTLE WE GOT

WHERE DEM SPACE STATIONS AT

[unborn bough]

1708005600

[sour fossil]

That aint my phone number

[unborn bough]

convert the epoch time to human timestamp

https://www.epochconverter.com/

[sand karma]

Nah, people never need a reason to justify toxicity. 😁

[past shuttle]

Hopefully they're gaps and not ellipses from the shock of how this update has dropped haha

[safe kiln]

i don't think they're placeholders, more like just a ...

[unborn bough]

in 4 hours, give or take 🙂

[sour fossil]

I dont need reason, I just am toxic

But not in regards to the update content
