nms-spoilers

[safe quarry]

True but only because we've taken the time to even consider it. With the way HG writes the computing jargon that some things spill out, there's a temptation to skip that and assume its all nonsense.

[grizzled apex]

Thats why they market it as a "narrative-enhanced" expedition, and not a narrative-driven expedition like emergence or singularity. You can safely skip the station core dialogue and still have the entire exped's premise make sense.

If you choose to read the core dialogue, then great, you get an explanation for why the sentinels are more hostile and how you're fixing it. Didn't read the dialogue? You're still trying to survive in a hostile universe at least

[safe quarry]

So really the community component was all just narrative smoke and mirrors to tie into the idea that in that iteration the sentinels were hostile towards travellers? I suppose it makes sense. Makes it also a little disappointing!

HG needs to stop giving the illusion of consequence.

[grizzled apex]

HG's heavy on puffing up their patch notes to sound better than they really are at times. Best not to take things past face value with them

[safe quarry]

its back to the atlas vs Vm choice all over again.

[cosmic anvil]

At least I hope this update doesn't break anything 🙂

Just recovered from Corvettes

[safe quarry]

Waking Titan did a good job of making us feel involved in the narrative. Maybe they'd been trying to rekindle that feeling in-game with some of these.

[grizzled apex]

It makes sense why they're averse to player choice given how much you'd have to replay to experience a different choice. So I assume whenever we're given a choice that w/ HG's reasoning, it won't really have any meaningful changes.

[gloomy isle]

I'd be happy if they only fixed corvette windows 😂😂

[safe quarry]

everytime the patch notes mentioned windows, i hoped!

[safe quarry]

Hehe tell that to Morgiel, she had to play the entire storyline twice just to get both titles!

[safe quarry]

I actually think its in their favour to encourage people to abandon their hundreds of hours saves once in a while for new ones. We always complain about how shallow new content is because we have enough currency and resources to burn through it or not see it as any more than a time sink. I started a new save for corvettes, and appreciated a lot more about other updates i'd shrugged off. Granted I could just fix up an interceptor and become rich, but avoiding that I appreciated updates i didn't care for at launch like relics. Making the displays was a valid and fun way to make early game currency. It wasn't necessarily the best or most efficient, but I appreciated more of the tapestry that HG is (very) slowly building when i had to scrounge my way up from the bottom of the food chain again!

[gloomy isle]

As much as I love the genre, I don't think there's actually a space game that's both wide and deep

[safe quarry]

Plus my corvette really did feel more like this thing that grew alongside me when i had to build it up piece by piece.

[gloomy isle]

At least, one that will likely release

[safe quarry]

I think you're right. Procedural generation could be used more generously for content in NMS than it is now, but like planets it would only be time before we start to see the patterns.

Its about how long before u do. Derelicts feel samey because the patterns become obvious too soon.

[grizzled apex]

New saves are always fun since you get to experience a lot of things you generally don't bother with in game generally, but its always nice when HG adds or changes something in a way that ties it to existing features well too.

[safe quarry]

And I feel they still need to actually play their own content once in a while. There's very small changes which could benefit some things

Like I had a chat with @ebon spoke about. Smuggling is pointless when you warp right outside the station you're going to sell at

better if it was a planetary black market vendor you then had to travel to

making sentinel interdictions more likely.

[grizzled apex]

There's an official HG Twitch channel lying dormant if y'all look into this btw, lurking HG employees 👀

[safe quarry]

It's not really smuggling if you're at risk of being found out for all of 10 seconds between landing in the system and the station entrance :p

[grizzled apex]

Yea there isn't much emergent gameplay currently, which is what they touted as a big selling point initially. Things like space stations locking down when attacked, or requesting verification before boarding etc (tied to player standing maybe?) would add some much needed depth to features which feel pretty shallow rn, and still be tied to player actions

[safe quarry]

Same with trading economy goods for the exact same reason. It becomes a loadscreen/warpscreen simulator.

[grizzled apex]

Feeling like you're at the mercy of the universe, or that your day-to-day choices can have some outcome later on would go a long way in making the game feel more alive

[safe quarry]

Better if you could sell at the station, but going the extra mile to deliver it to a trade depot on planet directly, gave you an extra bonus to the sale price depending on the distance from the space station.

Its the difference between the courier who delivers it to the depot (space station.) opposed to the one who takes the added risk of delivering it to your doorstep.

Thematically all the trade goods you're selling are likely making their way to the planetary settlements anyway.

[safe quarry]

I'd definitely love to feel like actions had more consequence, even if they just pertain to me rather than the galaxy.

It feels like things like the trade discounts go some way to that feeling, but the problem is you can maximise everything. It might not make sense in the lore, but it would be good if you couldn't max out relations with every species. That actions that benefit one's relations were detrimental to anothers. That would make us pay attention to mechanics like which species runs a system, which for now doesn't bare much weight.

Imagine if a high enough outlaw ranking actually made regular systems hostile to you and lock down if they scanned you and found out who you were. But conversely pirate scans backed off when they realise you're a notorious renowned pirate :p Sometimes inconveniencing a player makes them appreciate the weight of their actions.

[hot trout]

Nonononono please no

I forget when I have illegal cargo sometimes and theres been times I get "randomly scanned" every time I leave an atmosphere in some systems

[safe quarry]

Hehe see! Consequences good. Now you remember to drop off that illegal cargo :p

She says after always forgetting one of her ships has a forged passport in it and always gets scanned when flying it.

I still haven't moved that out of my inventory :p

But also I don't mean 'more likely' like that

[hot trout]

I swear, ive only ever been scanned twice when I didnt have any contraband

[safe quarry]

I mean that if you are actively smuggling, you are more likely to get scanned if you have to sell it at a planet and pulse there. Than just sell it at the space station you literally drop on top of

So less that its more frequent, and just that smuggling actually feels like smuggling.

rn smuggling and trading are the most dull 'professions' in NMS. They are virtually more loadscreen/warpdrive screen than they are actual gameplay.

[late tusk]

Doors...doors are opening...they are adding vampires

[cosmic anvil]

The heck is Yor doing here? Don't you have another assignment from the Shopkeeper to maintain the peace?? /s

[late tusk]

id post a gif responce but i cant 😭

[runic mesa]

So we're thinking a tomorrow drop? Time to get every platform up to speed (side-eyes Switch 1) before the expedition starts?

[cosmic anvil]

Expect disappointment and you won't be disappointed - Michelle Jones, Spiderman No Way Home

[grizzled apex]

Exped starts time's at 3 PM BST on Wednesday, pretty standard stuff. Id expect the update will drop and hour or two before that, enough time for most platforms to get the patch

Now whether switch 1's included in that list 🤷

[night helm]

door also rhymes with war

[ebon spoke]

and there are a myriad of emojis more appropriate for a war update

[icy citrus]

Door rhymes with chore, house cleaning update. Vacuums, dusters, the works

[livid zinc]

🚪 = Door
🚪 🚪 🚪 = More door
= Mordor
= LOTR confirmed 😆

[molten karma]

So we thinking its expedition only?

[timber crescent]

Someone mentioned Arrival as the update name and world of glass procedural dungeons like derelicts.

Wouldn't say no to that

[late tusk]

dust added to NMS now you have to have filters in your exo suit or you die from dust inhalation and have to periodicaly clean your base of dust bunnies and dust build up or they summon a special boss. the lint mother.

[glass flare]

door could mean portal

sorry if someone said that 10 hours ago

[hot trout]

I think someone said it like 10 minutes after the emoji was posted, lol

[glass flare]

portal to the world of glass

although I feel like every emoji lately is Sean trolling the community because they can be interpreted as "the final update"

[hot trout]

The like one consistent thing I've gathered is that nms keeps getting updated, lol

[glass flare]

yeah I never try to take ongoing support for granted, but it feels like a train that just never stops

[hot trout]

I usually dont either, but the stuff they keep adding always surprises me

[latent parcel]

I honestly hope they'll be doing some kind of update to the Sentinel freighters

Compared to the Pirate Dreadnoughts, they're pretty easy to take down nowadays, and the updates made to them since the Pirate Dreadnoughts have been added felt more tacked on if anything.

Compared to the Sentinel Interceptors now, I'd argue they're quite out of date, and are due for a makeover

I feel if they do get redesigned though, they'll probably have the same design philosophy as the Pirate dreadnoughts, where since the Pirate Dreads resemble the Venator freighters, maybe the Sentinel Carrier redesign will resemble the current Sentinel freighters

I wonder if the dragons refered to the Living frigates tbh

what

Okay, so if that's the case. I feel we're probably going to get redesigns for the freighters then honestly

The only freighters I could see not needing redesigns are the Dreadnought and Venator freighters because of how wide they are

[hot trout]

I wouldnt be too surprised

[hot trout]

But those two lines having higher quality textures would be nice, lol

[latent parcel]

Yeah

My hopes for there being Sentinel Dreadnought redesigns are higher now :]

[hot trout]

I don't think theyd be more than an overhaul though

Both capital ship designs are pretty iconic

[latent parcel]

yeah

I'd expect them to update the current sentinel dreadnought though

(the one that spawns when you reach level 5 of the sentinel bar in space)

[hot trout]

I think yes and no? That's been the reason the sentinel class freighters are called that in the first place

But if the models get an overhaul, it would apply to that one too

[latent parcel]

going off the Sentinel rifle and the current sentinel fighters proc gen parts, I feel it's possible they could make a new model for the Sentinel carrier without replacing the current ones

from what I assume, they'd only really have to make a seperate file path for the new proc gen files for the Sentinel Carriers, and as a bonus, the new models would probably resemble the OG design quite a lot

[hot trout]

But then they aren't sentinel freighters anymore

[latent parcel]

Technically they are

they just have a sentinel theme instead of the capital one

[hot trout]

Tbh I'm not sure how the sentinel theme would be conveyed on that scale

[latent parcel]

They could make it look a giant PC

I've also got this design I made on the reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1obg2vv/sentinel_dreadnought_redesign/

[hot trout]

Oh thats a pretty neat concept

[latent parcel]

Ty :D

It was basically me trying to mash a Sentinel Fighter with a Gaming PC and the current design

I'd imagine it also has trenches like the Pirate Dreadnought, but they're a lot harder to maneuver through

I feel that's how they'd redesign it

[hot trout]

That does make sense, though Id kinda want venators to have trenches too, lol

[latent parcel]

Fair tbh

The Pirate Dreadnought does look like a venator though if you squint enough

[cosmic anvil]

Update is out??

[molten karma]

No

[dense quartz]

Update will release in 30~ hours.

[safe quarry]

I wonder if the 3 door emoji being posted on a Saturday was a scheduling mistake for the tweet?

Assuming the community has got it right that its a sign as to how many days until the drop, that would make it today. Which we only ever get drops on a wednesday?

At least as far back as I can see, thats tracked that the 3 door emoji means 3 days from when its posted that the update will drop?

[cosmic anvil]

Seems we have a new door

And this one looks like the entrance of a house

Oh wait sorry

It's just the same emoji but on different platforms 🤦🏾

[safe quarry]

I think we can assume not much will happen until tomorrow now 💔 As much as I hope the 3 door emoji wasn't a fluke and it'll surprise drop today, I doubt it very much.

I am crossing my fingers for some kind of repeatable gameplay content in the vain of Desolation. Going through gateways or tears in space to some kind of content we can do.

[spiral patrol]

facts

[gloomy isle]

It would make sense for Halloween, and old content/ updates have been getting love this year

[zenith perch]

They should make something that works well with Corvettes

Like space walking into a freighter or something

[safe quarry]

If its going through a portal into some uncharted transdimensional space, that would work well both for the platforms that have corvettes and those that don't 🙂

And i can see a swirly, surrealist starscape that feels eldritch being absolutely breathtaking if done right.

[icy citrus]

Boundary failures wake up, ship portals

[safe quarry]

just googled and got an image almost exactly what i mean. Imagine if space, and the skybox for planets in this transdimensional plane looked something like this (maybe with less visual noise)

[cosmic anvil]

this for the World of Glass?

[eternal radish]

No news about the contents of the update yet?

[safe quarry]

no just random screenshots i found of what I envision it to be

[charred nebula]

It better include a living freighter

[safe quarry]

I am still never sure what a living freighter would even look like. Like how would we land on something like that?

[eternal radish]

Imagine how nasty the inside of it will be lmao.

[cosmic anvil]

PEGI will instantly upgrade the rating to 15 XD

and no need of the nutrition processor, just eat the freighter

[charred nebula]

I imagine it would be quite snug

[eternal radish]

Yeah. Well, at least we can have ground combat with NPC's then hahaha

[safe quarry]

Being swallowed every time you land will do that to the rating

[eternal radish]

Not even gonna talk about exiting.

[cosmic anvil]

Corvettes were speculated to include a bathroom based on the datamined info so .............

[eternal radish]

Yes? Can you tell me more?

[cosmic anvil]

@safe quarry knows more than me about datamined stuff but let me see if i can find older posts

@eternal radish

Found it

[livid zinc]

I imagine something like the inside of the crashed ship in Alien 😎

[icy citrus]

I can hear the footstep right now.. squelch squelch

[eternal radish]

Interesting.

[cosmic anvil]

bruhh 😭

[eternal radish]

The freighter corridors are their guts.

:/

[cosmic anvil]

how do we feed a living freighter??? maybe Galactus style of yeeting planets into its mouth

ugh... then how would nutrition work.... ngl I don't really want living freighters lolll

[icy citrus]

They could have blowholes like whales and that's how we dock and then leave in a geyser

[gloomy isle]

I'm more concerned about the boarding hatch 😭

[icy citrus]

Right in the mouth

Cargo is what you should worry about

[cosmic anvil]

9999 Faecium items ??

[native carbon]

they finally added skibedi i recommended in 2024

[grizzled apex]

More readying up?

[safe quarry]

I know its arbitrary because it could just be lots of small changes, but what kind of size would you hazard the change implies?

[grizzled apex]

oh no, the changenumber on steamDB has absolutely nothing to do with changes to NMS itself

The difference b/w 2 changenumbers for NMS on steamDB is just how many other games had changes between NMS's last change and this one

[safe quarry]

oooh i see i see!

Implies whatever it is they are playtesting tho! Assuming they're patching even the day before?

[grizzled apex]

They've always pushed internals a day or so before the release before.

[safe quarry]

I only know what @ebon spoke and @grizzled apex Tell us! I am in no way a dataminer or any good at that kind of thing!

[grizzled apex]

I can definitely imagine a living freighter and I kinda envision it like the leviathan interior mission from Devil May Cry 3, minus the demons. Would be really neat if they had the same type of mysterious, dark atmosphere

[safe quarry]

I am apposed to the idea of living freighters on so many icky levels.

[grizzled apex]

Id guess they'd have to come up with alternatives for the crew though, unless the crew's a bunch of other unlucky souls who got swallowed up

[safe quarry]

I can just picture the puckering effect of the landing bay doors opening as we come in to land and I am already noping right out of the idea.

[cosmic anvil]

well at least we'll never have a faecium shortage

[safe quarry]

Thanks, I hate it.

[safe quarry]

Well now the door emoji makes sense... the backdoor.

I saw a clip of that star citizen game and they have to actually navigate what I think were wormholes to travel. Would peeps be opposed to longer load times if it meant some sort've minigame where you have to navigate the warp tunnel?

I'd absolutely give in to longer load times without hitching when warping, if it meant i could get up and walk around in my corvette seeing the warp tunnel whizz by out the windows.

In that Sea of Thieves game I mentioned they let you if you use the similar fast travel thing, and its super atmospheric.

Your boat dives under the water and you can walk around on deck as you see all the corals and whales swim by as I assume the game is loading.

Would make it feel like we are actually warping between systems, rather than getting a screensaver while the solar system rejigs itself into the illusion of a new one.

[eternal radish]

That's the best and minor friendly solution hahaha

[merry helm]

Does the AI pilot for minotaur only work in combat? It does not seem to gather resources by its own.

[mental socket]

It never has gathered resources. The description has been erroneous ever since the autopilot was added

yes I would, one of the best parts of upgrading from PS4 -> PS5 was reducing NMS load times by 10s of seconds

[deep mountain]

Data mining dudes and dudets is there anything about switch in the upcoming patch

Update

[gloomy isle]

I don't like the look of the SC warp tunnel, but I'd definitely like some sort of a slower cruise mode for the corvettes, to you can have more time to sit about

[gloomy isle]

Imprisoned in goo like in Aliens 😭

[toxic totem]

any spoilers or what the new patch will be?

[analog breach]

We have no confirmed info about what new update will have

[deep mountain]

Damn I picked the worst time to buy nms hopefully fr lol guess I'll just wait and see

[dense quartz]

I kinda wish some skyboxes had that "graveyard" skybox from Homeworld.
Just gigantic structures super far away but they take up like half of the skybox.

Stuff like this.

[molten karma]

People need to stop blaming PEGI for the lack of ground combat. Fortnite is PEGI 12 and has more "realistic" weapons and actual humans shooting them and not only that they have collabs with horror icons and media in general that is more mature/adult.

[eternal radish]

Idk I don't play Fortnite

To me it does seem more cartoony that NMS, however.

[molten karma]

Weapons are still more realistic and characters are more humanoid then NMS. Not only that if the gibbing horrors didn't give it a 15/16 rating I doubt on ground combat with regular NPCs will.

They literally explode it's dismemberment. Yeah sure there is no blood spilling mechanics but usually dismemberment of any form would generally bump up the rating but it didn't so I think NMS would maintain that rating either way due to it being more sci-fi and not as realistic as some may think. The visuals DID change a lot but it still isn't realistic looking. It's still a very stylized look.

[cosmic anvil]

I'm still convinced it's going to be a freighter overhaul

No World of Glass yet but at the same, not just a new expedition

Or could be a derelict overhaul... Goes well with the spooky season as well

[hot trout]

Part of the overhaul would be adding a hangar for corvettes

[jovial basalt]

Freighters definitely need an overhaul after all of this, their purpose was quickly overshadowed by corvettes even if they still have some unique elements

At least in the sense that they were primarily unique for being a portable and in space base

They still have the fleet missions and whatnot but they definitely lost some value

[humble kayak]

I'm hoping we just see an expansion to corvettes

Corvettes have great bones and greater potential, but there's a lot more HG can do with them

To spend one update working on them just to go work on something completely different would be a mistake imo

[hot trout]

It would be more likely that theyd release something new, then go back to expand corvettes. That's how some past updates have gone

[grizzled apex]

Xbox sale up

[gloomy isle]

Imo it's more likely we'll see more corvette parts rolled I to other updates and expeditions

[humble kayak]

Yeah it's been up for a little while now

I got rid of my game pass so I don't have NMS anymore, im planning on taking advantage of the sale once the update comes out

[humble kayak]

Seems like that's what they'd do

I know they generally don't dedicate two updates to the same content (aside from Worlds) I just hope they don't abandon the corvettes

[fresh elk]

What time does the patch generally hit?

[fervent fern]

Around 12h GMT? More or less.

[plain sluice]

<t:1761138000:f>

or <t:1761138000:R>

[fervent fern]

Curious about Switch's release on this one. That is, if there's no delay.

[deep mountain]

I just seen the Facebook groups say that the update comes out in twelve hours

[deep mountain]

Me too fam I still didn't get what I bought NMS for

[fervent fern]

I'm still a bit hopeful S1 players will get at least a limited version of corvette building.

Perhaps tomorrow's update will give us a better picture on the whole situation

[deep mountain]

Well c

[late tusk]

to add onto the topic of the game rating changing if they added killing npcs on planets or something. you can already blow up frigates and other starships. think about how many people are on those lmao

this is coming from some one who exclusivley makes thier money in NMS via smuggling and space piracy

[ebon spoke]

Yeah but there's no blood or ragdoll when you do that

[silent thunder]

I can’t decide if I should let Artemis die or upload her

[molten karma]

Overwatch and Fortnite are both pegi 12 I'm sure NMS would be fine with on foot combat. The multitools hardly resemble actual guns to begin with.

[compact berry]

@grizzled apex Is it Content Update alongside Expedition

[grizzled apex]

no way to know until it drops. all we do know is that there's an expedition, and since it starts the same day as the update drops, I'd say theres a good chance its just an expedition. Might be small content + exped similar to aquarius in terms of size though

[compact berry]

Relics was content update and we got expedition same day

Hopefully it's content update and expedition

[grizzled apex]

personally leaning towards a The Cursed continuation as a halloween event, but we'll find out in < 12 hours anyway

[compact berry]

We shall see

[spiral patrol]

i wont be home to play till like 6-8 pm my time and the update is gonna be prolly at 2 pm bruh

if its just an expedition then whatever but id love to see new content

[spiral patrol]

in pretty sure if we just get and expedition we will also get a lot of corvette parts with it

[viral geyser]

Any expedition on the servers?

[compact berry]

@viral geyser Yup he saw but it's possible there is content update as well

[native carbon]

3 hours till PS4 will get the update

[spiral patrol]

lets go

[cosmic anvil]

3 hours to the truth buddy 🫠

[native carbon]

as the smartest person alive, im never wrong

[deep mountain]

3 hours till they fix the bugs the phantom patch gave switch let's goooo

[lime birch]

I have woken up, this is the period where I'll be incapable of focusing on anything for the next few hours.. 🫠

[cosmic anvil]

Imagine it really is like @native carbon said... Just an expedition and nothing else 🤣

[native carbon]

it will be like that

[cosmic anvil]

Oh we'll see 😏

[native carbon]

mhhhh

[zenith perch]

They're not going to abandon Corvettes

[zenith perch]

Can't see that happening honestly, nsw1 running nms in the first place is a miracle

[gloomy isle]

I feel like it's fishing sized at maximum, realistically

[zenith perch]

We got one in endurance though

I think it was endurance

[gloomy isle]

I wonder if they might have to make it so switch players can EVA from regular starships

Yeah it was endurance

[zenith perch]

If this is an update and not just an expedition I wonder if it'll be a corvette expansion one

Like being able to space walk onto asteroids

[compact berry]

I think possible HG will find way to optimize

They definitely just needed more time to optimize it

[safe quarry]

I think so too. Either a way to introduce some of those mechanics into the game properly, or expanding on this concept with maybe us going to whatever dimension the jellies were bleeding through from.

[zenith perch]

There are no settlements on Switch 1, they basically didn't get an update when Voyagers came out, their version of Beacon was very limited and they still have no MP.

I'm leaning towards this is probably just an expedition I won't care about to finish off the year before they do redux.

[safe quarry]

I'd be okay with an expedition only 🙂 I always like things that permanently improve the game, but if this turns out to be another emergence or the cursed, I would be fine with that 🙂 Just so long as its not a low effort copy/paste expedition!

[dense quartz]

They've had multiple updates in a row that added to the wonders feature and fishing.
Granted those are "smaller" pieces of content but still.

[safe quarry]

I would like to think that the reception to corvettes was too strong for them to ignore them. But that hasn't exactly stopped them in the past!

[dense quartz]

Also, I thought Sean doesn't post an emoji days ahead if it's just an expedition, I remember him doing it barely a day before it launches.

[safe quarry]

I feel to moderate hype he tends to give less of a lead time to an expedition only with his emoji

[icy citrus]

Nothing has ever been just an expedition anyways, always lots of fixes and quiet tweaks as well

[safe quarry]

at one point i don't think he even did emojis for expedition only

[safe quarry]

This is why I would be okay if the expedition was to pad out them just adding a few new corvette parts

because at this point 'just a few new corvette parts' even a dozen or so, would be huge. Doors, hatches, alternatives to the small stairs, etc.

[icy citrus]

The reception of the update to the non core players was crazy, they would be silly to not build on them over the next years

[safe quarry]

I mean they had their highest player count since... beyond? or was it launch?

[deep mountain]

Fb says the update coming out in just 1 more hour

[safe quarry]

Even the worlds part 1 and 2 updates which were huge for us, didn't draw in as much of a crowd as corvettes did

[deep mountain]

Voyagers made me buy nms because of how cool it looked, even tho the console I picked never got it lol

[safe quarry]

It makes sense tho, corvettes was quite Multiplayer focused

[gloomy isle]

Yeah, launch

It even beat out next iirc

[dense quartz]

Since NEXT or even launch, I think.

[safe quarry]

people who love NMS got their friends playing it to experience corvettes. So every one advocate brought maybe 3-4 new/returning players.

[gloomy isle]

Corvettes are super transformative for MP and solo too

Basically player housing in a much more meaningful way than a base can be, imo

[safe quarry]

That says it all. And i'm not surprised, it captured I think what most people want from a space sim aside from the galaxy to explore

[dense quartz]

It's just a little funny how everyone universally said the game needs more variation, and they added so much that it needed 2 updates to contain all the new exploration content...
But it didn't draw in as many players as corvettes did, something that people weren't advocating for that much lol.

[safe quarry]

If anything, corvettes are more in line with the original design intent than static bases

the point was always to be nomadic and travelling for the centre.

corvettes lets you take most of the features of a base on the road with you.

[safe quarry]

But then you think about things like that Star Citizen game

most of the conversation is about the spaceships rather than the worlds.

And by giving us a ship builder, HG just outdid the whole catalogue of ships in most games

by giving us a nearly endless one

and the more parts they give, the more that 'catalogue' increases in variety.

[gloomy isle]

That's the biggest thing for me. With a base, you have to go out of your way to visit it and you leave as soon as you've done what you need in a lot of cases.

With corvettes, you naturally return to it after every planet etc and you by default end up essentially living out of it

[dense quartz]

Yeah I was actually amazed how endless the corvettes builds are. Way more varied than sentinel ships, and I remember being amazed by their variety when they were added.

I still want them to add more ship parts to haulers, explorers, fighters and solars lol.

[gloomy isle]

Basically unlimited potential for future content too

[gloomy isle]

Part of me wants some old ship classes redone and updated to be large ships like corvettes

Even if the interiors aren't varied or anything

Especially haulers and maybe explorers

[austere hull]

ps5 got 6.10

i wonder what it is

[gloomy isle]

That's like

IM DOIN IT

[next lagoon]

File size?

[uncut harness]

Screenshots

[safe quarry]

It kind of makes the ship builder for them feel a bit limited. I know there's good reason for that. But I kind of wish they ported over some of the UI of the corvette building.

[swift turret]

6gb

[safe quarry]

Like imagine if the windows for choosing a part were full screen and showed all options

rather than a small scrolling window

[wind panther]

That's pretty small for a PS update

[safe quarry]

It's also only indicative of how many files have been interfered with

[swift turret]

im on australian wifi so its gonna take like 30 min

[safe quarry]

the update will only be a portion of that

[wind panther]

Yes, that's what I'm trying to figure out 🙂

[ebon spoke]

and what kind of files

[wind panther]

That means they probably didn't mess with the scene or geometry files

[native carbon]

Already?

[gloomy isle]

I thought ship building to the extent of corvettes would totally ruin ship hunting. And I guess it kinda has for me. But it's also just... Better??

[swift turret]

gonna need yall americans downloading the update because yall have faster wifi

[delicate sparrow]

They are procedurally generated. Editor just overrides some components after that generation is complete. so only fixed archtypes

[native carbon]

Heh @cosmic anvil

:)

[heavy light]

First things first, expedition or nah? I need to know if my frigates and freighter is doomed or nah

[native carbon]

Expedition only it seems

[dense quartz]

I think the starship builder is fine, I just want waaaaay more parts for existing ships lol.
Maybe even a dedicated ship parts shop that can also trade other parts with or something.

[safe quarry]

Yes this is why I understand it is the way it is.

[heavy light]

I WIN MY PACT!

[gloomy isle]

Yeah feels like it'll just be a spooky expedition

[wind panther]

Adding new pieces to ships would be a huge PITA for HG

[native carbon]

Same goes to me

I also made a pact

[rapid reef]

any news on whats in this new update?

[midnight stream]

any news on the rewards?

[delicate sparrow]

But if it required update, then there is new content?

[compact berry]

@native carbon You saw or someone showed you?

[icy citrus]

I already told you you blew it

[native carbon]

Im from the future

[icy citrus]

This is massive in my eyes

[safe quarry]

is it confirmed as an expedition only? or suspected because of size?

[native carbon]

Gleamskie

Shhhh

[wind panther]

Not confirmed in the slightest

[uncut harness]

There has been no confirmation of anything yet

[spiral patrol]

itd probably both corvette expansion as there was so much pieces leaked and exp

[native carbon]

Suspected

[wind panther]

It will take quite a bit of time to confirm that

[safe quarry]

oh oki

[compact berry]

We shall see what the patch notes says when people finish downloading

[midnight stream]

we just got ping from news ticker that 6.10 is released for ps5

[wind panther]

There were only a few corvette pieces that weren't released yet

[safe quarry]

I still suspect content with an expedition to show it off

[native carbon]

Its very likely for it to be small

[swift turret]

no cowboy or anything from sean

[wind panther]

Even with patch notes, you need to wait for people to dig around the files to see if anything else changed

[native carbon]

Thats why i think this way

[icy citrus]

Nope, it's giant

[gloomy isle]

Tbf the line between expedition updates and feature updates is a lil blurred now

Looking specifically at relics

[native carbon]

Gleam Shhhhhh

[icy citrus]

Pact L

[spiral patrol]

switch shouldnt be supported ngl because of switch updates take longer and that agme barely runs on the ns1

[native carbon]

Gleamskie

How do i report a mod aboos

[icy citrus]

Talk to an admin

[spiral patrol]

the corvette one was quite boring

[native carbon]

Gleam im being mod aboos'ed

[icy citrus]

Good

Next!

[wind panther]

You might want to ping Gleam and tell them that Gleam is being abusive

[charred nebula]

Eh, it was pretty much just tutorial to corvettes

[spiral patrol]

also he posted it earlier than usual

[dense quartz]

Wha, I feel like the only person on Earth who thinks Relics overhauled a specific part of the game and expanded it and tied it with other parts of the game.

Meanwhile everyone else pretends like it did literally nothing...

[native carbon]

He gonna get you tonight

[swift turret]

is it single?

[wind panther]

Lots of people say most updates are nothing big, if it's not the one specific thing they wanted

[charred nebula]

Relics was great, expanding on extremely shallow parts of the game like archeology is great thing

[native carbon]

Yes 🥵

[spiral patrol]

we need free rotate mode and rotating habs large rooms etc

[vestal trellis]

wtf.

GOD

I CAN'T WAIT FOR PC DROP

[green wasp]

How long does it usually take for update/patch notes after they come out?

[safe quarry]

I want to be able to control the room size more for sure

[uncut harness]

Fishing update was huge

[wind panther]

WPI: No PvP overhaul?!?!? Literally unplayable!

[native carbon]

3 hours till patch notes most likely

[swift turret]

WHO ELSE IS DOWNLOADING, IT CANT JUST BE ME!?

[wind panther]

When most platforms get it

No real fixed time

[green wasp]

[uncut harness]

It might just be you 🫡

[deep mountain]

[toxic cradle]

whats the update about?

[native carbon]

Just so i can win my juicy patch

[toxic cradle]

cant seem to find notes. just a patch or a doozy?

[safe quarry]

No one has it downloaded to tell us yet

[uncut harness]

Ps5 got the update, nobody else yet

[safe quarry]

so chop chop playstation players

[heavy light]

Send a screenshot of the ingame patch notes when you've updated please PS5 users!

[toxic cradle]

blasphemy

[heavy light]

Update out on ps5, patch notes won't be on the website for a few hours most likely

[charred nebula]

Honestly, if all it does is it adds internal doors to corvettes, Ill be happy

[dense quartz]

Patiently waiting for Steam to drop.

[toxic cradle]

but it is supposed to have content or just fixes?

[safe quarry]

someone on reddit said door = shore, but i think that's rubbish.

[wind panther]

Oh, I hadn't noticed that PS5 release isn't regional like PS4

[native carbon]

Be ready for the tiniest update to ever exist

[heavy light]

We dont know!

[wind panther]

There is no "supposed to be" in NMS

[toxic cradle]

ahh time to loose my mind

[native carbon]

😈 😈 😈

[zenith perch]

The patch notes won't drop till at least 2 pm uk time

[wind panther]

HG gives us exactly what they intend to give us

[icy citrus]

Door = Lore = Rewrite of everything

[toxic cradle]

yeah they do catch us off guard

[zenith perch]

Door = Discovery or a related word

[uncut harness]

It'd have to be tiny relative to other updates, which isn't likely

[zenith perch]

My source? Trust me.

[wind panther]

You should make a pact on that if you're so confident 😄

[safe quarry]

Door = Floor. New flooring.

[icy citrus]

Door = Poor = All your money reset

[gloomy isle]

Door= Floor

New carpets

[uncut harness]

You are now the good guy

[native carbon]

Door can be opened, steam can also be opened, whats on steam? Silksong.

Nms x silksong confirmed today trust me /jk

[muted inlet]

So wait, is the update actually out or nah? Never been here on launch of an update.

[safe quarry]

Door = Bore. Game is just a wallpaper of a starscape you stare at now.

[swift turret]

Well I’ll try get the scoop

[wind panther]

Only PS5

[zenith perch]

It's out on ps5 but nobody knows what it is yet

[icy citrus]

On PS5

[heavy light]

How's progress on downloading the update PS5 people?

[deep mountain]

[dense quartz]

No need for that.
Are you tired of bieng a giga-ultra-trilionaire?
Just buy 5 multitool slots! There you go! You're broke!

[zenith perch]

We're just waiting for someone to show us an image of the in game patch notes blurb.

[swift turret]

My wifi is slow

[native carbon]

Only on ps5 but poor guys only have 1 bit/hour internet

[zenith perch]

If it came out on xbox I''d have had the update within like 25 minutes ish

[safe quarry]

5 gb will be the whole game size because its a 4k texture.

[wind panther]

Sad, I could get it in a minute or so, but no Steam 🙁

[uncut harness]

You'll probably be done by the time it's on pc

[wind panther]

Wild Boars?

[native carbon]

Door = nothing

[muted inlet]

Maaaaaaan I was about to go to bed too. Oh well, guess I'll wake up to patch notes at least.

[native carbon]

Hear me out its the nothing update

[muted inlet]

Big if true

[native carbon]

Joan 👀

[fallow beacon]

guys. important questions. new base parts?

[swift turret]

Should be quicker than that

[spiral patrol]

finally i dont see guys saying its the last update

[native carbon]

We dont know

[wind panther]

We don't know anything yet

[deep mountain]

The update is not out on switch if anyone was wondering

[fallow beacon]

RAAAAH

[vestal trellis]

yet

[wind panther]

Other than PS5=5gb and the version is 6.10

[native carbon]

I theorise its the nothing update

[quartz thistle]

No man's sky, door update coming soon
They're literally adding doors

[uncut harness]

What about switch 2? /s

[swift turret]

6gb technicallyish

[vestal trellis]

Nothing in release log page yet

[safe quarry]

if they're on corvettes, i'll take it!

[waxen chasm]

so it's only an expedition update?

[wind panther]

We don't know

[quartz thistle]

No idea

[gloomy isle]

It does seem like it'll be a Halloween expedition ngl

[wind panther]

We can say we don't know again, if it helps

[native carbon]

Most likely but we dont know

[gloomy isle]

Imo

[quartz thistle]

Open your heart to halloween

[spiral patrol]

the corvette updates was also around 5gb but on stesm it was like 20+ cux you had to redoenload the game

[muted inlet]

Ohhhh the trick or treat update, we are knocking on the door

[heavy light]

I think it could be that the team for ps5 released the update early on accident since we dont have cowboy or gib and it's unusually early drop time

[wind panther]

I'm just going to type "We don't know" so I have it ready to go

[uncut harness]

Trick or treat, was a solid door guess

[spiral patrol]

true should be like 2 hours from now

[wind panther]

It is 2 hours earlier than normal

[quartz thistle]

We don't know
Copy
Paste
Paste
Paste

[icy citrus]

It's adding fake fangs and horns and such for costumes

[native carbon]

😭

[icy citrus]

And a basket for candy

[wind panther]

I would love that update

[native carbon]

Anyone here with ps5 and decent internet? Ya all broke ngl

[viral geyser]

Is anyone downloading the update,

[uncut harness]

Costume update would be crazy

[wind panther]

At least one person says they are downloading

[safe quarry]

Trick or Treat = They've introduced ways to troll other players even harder now. The corvette abductions are a feature, not a bug.

[wind panther]

But their connection is slow

[uncut harness]

Redo character customization

[swift turret]

It’ll be done in 20 mins

[quartz thistle]

It adds trick or treating emotes, the trick is transforming you into a fish

[zenith perch]

If its just 5gb its a smaller patch potentially.

[spiral patrol]

like if its 5 gigs how come yall download it for ages

[ebon spoke]

what if the update is only 6gb because they actually figured out how to do crazy compression and the update overhauls everything

[heavy light]

We don't know what's in the update yet
We are still waiting for PS5 players to check.
The update will release for other platforms in due time
Patch notes will release later today

[swift turret]

MY UPDATE WILL BE DONE IN 20 MINs

[zenith perch]

If it was only 5gb I'd have it in about 5 minutes.

[heavy light]

Copied to clipboard

[safe quarry]

that's 20 mins too long

[native carbon]

Buy a better internet or smth /jk

[viral geyser]

BROTHER ITS 5gb in 2025

[hard stirrup]

Am I allowed to say anything from what I see in game here, in the spoiler section? I can also put in spoiler tags to hide the text too.

[spiral patrol]

get better wifi bro

[zenith perch]

yes

[viral geyser]

Bro on the 5mbs internet

[swift turret]

Nah y’all mean

[fallow beacon]

that's me. i'm cursed by the fact i live in the spanish countryside

[zenith perch]

If you have the update send a screenshot of the blurb or just a phone pic or something.

[green wasp]

I have 1.6GBps and it's still saying 30 minutes on the PS5

[wind panther]

I doubt the wifi is the bottleneck

[native carbon]

Your wifi is buns tho /jk

[icy citrus]

You can freely discuss anything here, no spoiler tag needed

[zenith perch]

ay carrumba /s

[safe quarry]

playstation servers are normally quite slow aren't they?

[zenith perch]

Spoiler alert:

[swift turret]

It ain’t even my fault that’s my countries fault dude, we still usin old optic fibers and shi

[safe quarry]

its probably not people's fault

[quartz thistle]

I have 250 Mbps and I think that portal two (about the same size) was 4-7 minutes
Just I don't have a PS5 to play the game rn

[zenith perch]

Gleam is NOT a door.

[deep tundra]

It takes longer to install updates than downloading them on ps5

[icy citrus]

WHAT

[heavy light]

In game patch notes please!

[native carbon]

Dont worry we are joking

[zenith perch]

I'm sorry to inform you.

[native carbon]

Omega not yet

Later'ish pls

[icy citrus]

That's ok, can switch to a Halloween name now

[uncut harness]

Patch notes are going to be a knock knock joke

[zenith perch]

Count Gleamula

[native carbon]

Help

[icy citrus]

Gotta rock the format

[zenith perch]

no you are not being helped door

[icy citrus]

Probably Singular Scream

[quartz thistle]

@spiral patrol

No stickers in this channel please

[quartz thistle]

Yunnauhwannaittabetauhwatana

Thanks korn

[heavy light]

Sticker fail

[uncut harness]

Gunter got warned

[zenith perch]

Several people are typing

[native carbon]

Guys we need to chill the update aint going nowhere

[spiral patrol]

ok papa gunter i wont anymore

[zenith perch]

I just want my info to see if I play today

[quartz thistle]

It's going somewhere soon and that somewhere is on people's devices

[zenith perch]

If its just an expedition I will be heavily unlikely to play it

[dense quartz]

Same lol

[hard stirrup]

From what I can tell this is just an expedition. The main menu does not show new patch notes. It still says voyagers. In game the QS bot shows rewards for Expedition 20, the Breach Expedition....rewards are a ton of corvette parts...new engine, new shield generator and 7 cosmetic hull parts.

[wind panther]

Chill is not how this channel works at update time

Learn to read and type faster 😉

[zenith perch]

oh so it is just an expedition

[muted inlet]

So what's everyone's predictions? I have no clue since I just jumped back in the corvette update lol

[fallow beacon]

i mean it's the most obvious outcome, at least for me, an expedition is expected

[quartz thistle]

Welp

[native carbon]

Hmm....

[heavy light]

I WON MY PACT!!!! RAAAAHHHHHHHH

[zenith perch]

Insert my comment again about hg and their emoji stuff not setting good expectations

[native carbon]

I won my pact

Im always right

[swift turret]

lets groove tonight

[zenith perch]

Breach does make sense for an expedition name.

Oh well.

[safe quarry]

Breach. neat. and new corvette parts, also neat.

[fallow beacon]

expedition. don't rise your hopes too much, but it means new base parts! so i'm very happy

[ebon spoke]

not my screenshots, from twitter:

[native carbon]

Joantastic im right

[gloomy isle]

Yay new Corvette parts! That's honestly really nice

[safe quarry]

Depends what we do in the expedition. Could be something really cool!

[undone forge]

YOOOO

[deep mountain]

Damn a exp around corvetts rip switch again

[wind panther]

Ah, Aeron style

[native carbon]

These are kinda buns tho

😦

[zenith perch]

We JUST got a Corvette expedition btw.

[heavy light]

Fucking cool parts wow

[zenith perch]

Switch 1 not getting another update gg

[safe quarry]

omg you're right.

[uncut harness]

Atlas themed, breach must be lore

[waxen chasm]

the new corvette parts are expedition only?

[undone forge]

More like Atlas themed

[native carbon]

Lmao switch 1

[gloomy isle]

Corvette parts are going to be a staple reward going forward tbh

[dense quartz]

Switch has been left behind by the last 3 updates in a row, damn.

[safe quarry]

Unless this is where they will get their corvette update?

[zenith perch]

The parts can be as cool as they want idc about expedition only updates.

[gloomy isle]

Atlas parts hell yeah

[native carbon]

Trueee

[zenith perch]

I thought something was up when someone said it was only 5gb

I suppose I'll see if they've snuck some good QoL in, otherwise idc too much.

[safe quarry]

I mean come on its called breach it's not going to be a dull expedition

I think we are going to be travelling through tears in space

or something is coming through

[green wasp]

maybe it's just really efficient 🤷🏽‍♂️

[wind panther]

Aeron are sentinels, not Atlas

[zenith perch]

As a rule I don't really care about expeditions.

[fallow beacon]

indeed, joantastic

[delicate sparrow]

THerewas breach expedition once..

[swift turret]

we should get a trailer in like 5 hours

[zenith perch]

The only one I truly enjoyed was Aquarius

[muted inlet]

I've only done a few expeditions, so I'm more than happy to do another 😄

[gloomy isle]

Only downside is that it looks like there's no new interiors to match

But that makes sense

[zenith perch]

Titan didn't show off nearly enough of the then at the time new planets

Relics was an unfortunate slog towards the end with the collect 50 bones that shoulda been like, 25 to 30 at most.

[safe quarry]

What about the cursed, emergence? or one of the more thematically unique ones like leviathan?

[zenith perch]

The Corvette expedition I didn't do

[ebon spoke]

I thought the Arcadia parts were Sentinel themed, since they match the interceptors so well. But now the "Aeron" parts are seemingly Atlas themed? 🤔

[zenith perch]

Never played em

I didn't play expeditions till aquarius

[wind panther]

Wait until we can do a diff on the files and we will tell you if there are other new things

[swift turret]

Aquarius is my favourite expedition still

[safe quarry]

They had unique mechanics exclusive to the expedition. They were good

[zenith perch]

I thought they were past doing expedition only updates but ig not, hope for the qol ig.

[ebon spoke]

oh yeah also a squid poster apparently

[undone forge]

Idk the parts look a bit like ones you’d find on a messenger of Atlas and the Atlas Staff more than it does resemble Sentinels

[native carbon]

@cosmic anvil heh

[safe quarry]

I think this will have expedition exclusive mechanics

[zenith perch]

It's been a good year overall at least

[wind panther]

The lore tells you that Aerons are Sentinels

[native carbon]

Squib, yay

[zenith perch]

WP2 was the best update ever imo, relics was okay, beacon could do with some tweaks but its a good one

[safe quarry]

that event horizon poster

that could hint at something kewl!

[zenith perch]

Voyagers was HG flexing their creative and programming power.

[deep mountain]

I guess I can finally start playing nms since now we know they just leaving it behind lol

[wind panther]

What the hell are you on about?

[zenith perch]

I hate it when muchos sirena de las estrellas appear

[delicate sparrow]

Why someone posts screenshots in not a common trade language for this purpose,lol

[icy citrus]

What

Lol

People are so weird

[wind panther]

I think you are looking for #unfoundedconspiracytheories

[spiral patrol]

imagine we got blackhole updates

[zenith perch]

Switch 1 does not get full updates.

[native carbon]

@icy citrus oh gleeeaaam

[undone forge]

How strange, oh well considering the sentinels are related to Atlas anyways I guess it makes sense why the parts look like that lol

[zenith perch]

Now unless nsw1 gets corvettes this update they're losing out on another one again

[icy citrus]

It's massive

[zenith perch]

They have no mp, no settlements so they lost out on beacons basically entirely

[icy citrus]

New parts

[safe quarry]

Yes the fact they just released a game changing update in voyagers with the promise its the start of something big, smacks of 'we're packing up.'

[icy citrus]

Sorry, you lose

[zenith perch]

Voyagers if it ever runs on nsw1 will be beyond a miracle.

[native carbon]

Bubba, cursed added like a new ship and base parts, and u said its small. So yeah

[zenith perch]

MP is looking like a never overall

[deep mountain]

What was weird about what I said I bought nms after voyagers update announced didn't get the voyagers update on the console I picked and waited to see if I got it later
0% weirdness

[icy citrus]

Shoulda thought of that before making Gunter insult me I suppose

[delicate sparrow]

Bubba? O.o

[native carbon]

Gleamskie u dont have to be the bad guy

[dense quartz]

Literally every single update now has people thinking it's the very last one.
Because.... of they're working on a new game that 1. Doesn't guarantee it'll be a hit 2. it's not even out yet.
Amazing logic, honestly.

[heavy light]

3 updates in a row then

[safe quarry]

Especially as NMS pulls in 20 million annually. Why would they abandon a sure fire revenue channel?

[wind panther]

Yay, Steam

[zenith perch]

No you're misunderstanding.

[uncut harness]

Steam!

[native carbon]

Steam is out 👀

[zenith perch]

They're talking about the switch 1 updates

They get very, very little because nsw1 nms existing in the first place is nothing short of a miracle.

[spiral patrol]

no gib and no cowboy plus realesed earlier

[undone forge]

LET’S GO!!!

[spiral patrol]

strsnge

[native carbon]

Why ns"W" ?

[safe quarry]

This always happens

[icy citrus]

Nintendo Switch 1

[delicate sparrow]

nsw1 - not-safely-working-one

[safe quarry]

the updates actually go live well ahead of sean tweeting that stuff

Usually playstation gets it hours ahead of Sean saying anything

[deep mountain]

the switch 1 icon was on the voyagers update page to be fair yall

[zenith perch]

I have no doubt in my mind we'll reach the 10th anniversary, maybe a 15th if we're lucky.

If switch 1 does somehow get corvettes I can imagine it being quite size limited.

[uncut harness]

I think we'll live a lot longer than that

[spiral patrol]

10th anni is just no brainer

[native carbon]

Steam updating guys

[icy citrus]

If we get to 15 I'm quitting

[wind panther]

It's usually 1 emoji, 3 emoji, cowboy morning of update, gib right when update is released

[spiral patrol]

25 parts limit lol

[native carbon]

Old

Dinosaur

[wind panther]

launching

[spiral patrol]

how much gb on steam

[icy citrus]

No, just getting to the end of dealing with people

[zenith perch]

Could do 50 to 100 ish maybe

[uncut harness]

5.5gb

[zenith perch]

Gleam can I have your admin role when you go /s

[icy citrus]

Getting pretty old to volunteer my time and get shit on for it tbh

[native carbon]

Well, can i take over if u gonna quit?

[delicate sparrow]

People, launching update takes at LEASt a workday. So it already is happenign or finished successfully when an official post would be made. It still needs to be processed after that. Both by platform and them

[orchid bronze]

Wait update already? Sean only posted the emoji 3 times where cowboy an Gib?

[heavy light]

Hey let’s stop bothering gleam, poor man was around when big bang happened he’s probably tired

[native carbon]

No cowboy and gib cuz its the smallest update ever, ant sized

[safe quarry]

Calling it now: the big splash page image for the patch notes page will be a ship flying towards a purple tear in the fabric of space. You heard it here first.

[vestal trellis]

EXPEDITION 20??!

[rapid breach]

usually wednesday is update day, with announcemnts to be expected in about 2 hours

[dense quartz]

Updates come out before Sean even starts his "it's about to release" speech. 😄

[rapid breach]

19 hasn’t even ended yet

[wind panther]

Celestial is the new title

[vestal trellis]

whew

[grizzled apex]

I think someone said there isn't a new patch notes splash page

[wind panther]

And Aeron ship trail

[gloomy isle]

Oooo an atlas ship trail

[heavy light]

I mean last one was 19

[vestal trellis]

I think it already ended?

[native carbon]

Are you celestial gumsk?

[vestal trellis]

yea

[heavy light]

Yes it has…

[orchid bronze]

Damn 🙁 I love when he posts the cowboy and gib

[dense quartz]

Wait, come to think of it, Sean hasn't been doing "release speeches" lately, right?

[safe quarry]

Sorry i mean the one on the website!

[rapid breach]

i thought october 25

[native carbon]

Wait no im joking dont worry

[vestal trellis]

alr ended like 10 day ago

[heavy light]

Give it time, those never release before most platforms have it (or at the end of the day)

[safe quarry]

mhm, just predicting what the headline image of it is going to be

[heavy light]

Breach

[safe quarry]

and I guess by extension what the expedition image is gonna be

Yes i mean the visual hehe

[wind panther]

I'm always Iteration 1

[safe quarry]

not the name

[native carbon]

omg guys new update added nothing!!!! /jk

[uncut harness]

I wonder if we're going through black holes

[heavy light]

Im getting PTSD from Nintendo Beacons

[uncut harness]

I also wonder if they figured out how to hide patch notes till full release

[spiral patrol]

i hope so

[safe quarry]

https://www.nomanssky.com/media/legacy/uploads/2022/07/nms-endurance-book-cover.png

Like my prediction for this image on the new expedition patch notes page will be a corvette flying towards a purple tear in space.

[wind panther]

I'll start the diff process. Might be about 40 minutes

[heavy light]

New text on the splash image but still said relics

[azure scroll]

how are they leaving it behind, it's at the height of popularity and they're using it also to test LNF mechanics

[spiral patrol]

so has anyone got the update yet

[safe quarry]

Yes I know i was being sarcastic because someone said they were hehe

[azure scroll]

ah my bad

[heavy light]

PS5 and Steam

[grizzled apex]

Someone's beaten you it seems 😛

[icy citrus]

This got confused with all the chatter, they are referring to Switch 1 being left behind not the game itself

[hard scaffold]

So what’s it about?

[spiral patrol]

yeah but like has someone downloaded it yet

[azure scroll]

people on reddit have yes

[heavy light]

Yes, it’s expedition only

[zenith perch]

Doesn't seem like there is one.

[azure scroll]

so just an expedition 🙁

[safe quarry]

Yes I mean the website patch notes, not the in-game one

[wind panther]

Yeah, Babscoole already got it done 😄

Reddit Gona be mad 🤣

[wind panther]

Looking through it now

[heavy light]

Expedition 20: Breach

[undone forge]

Almost there

[heavy light]

At least I win my pact @icy citrus

[deep mountain]

[icy citrus]

Yep

[proper stone]

Very expected tbh, we had .0 update less than 2 months ago and most of its bugs are not fixed yet

[prime urchin]

6 GB for an expedition... hmm

[azure scroll]

i mean yeh tbf

[wind panther]

Hmm, they are using NET and NWTB as acronyms in the new part names. I don't know what those stand for

[proper stone]

NeW TimBer?

[rapid breach]

Nitrogen Electron Transmitter

[night girder]

Update downloadable already?

[orchid bronze]

So what is this a doorway into?

[azure scroll]

for some

[acoustic dew]

On ps5 and and steam

[safe quarry]

well i was wrong anyway hehe

[zenith perch]

NintendosWitch1ToBebannedfromgettingupdates /s

[rustic rivet]

So what is it?!

[dense quartz]

Beat me to it lol

[night girder]

oh nice

[undone forge]

what

[safe quarry]

hehe i went to look what the image was to see if i was right hehe

[azure scroll]

steam updating now!

[night girder]

any patchnotes?

[wind panther]

It looks like some new corvette decorations

[dense quartz]

Omg please have spacewalking gameplay...

[uncut harness]

shipless start in space?

[acoustic dew]

Thank God

[gloomy isle]

Eva content in the expedition? Seems cool

[proper stone]

I swear the door means Emergence again

[vestal barn]

Is there new corvette parts ?

[wind panther]

I see 3 new guns

[zenith perch]

Did they not have any in Corvettes

[rapid breach]

probably stepping out into space

[proper stone]

That actually makes a lot of sence

[gloomy isle]

I do really hope we get atlas interiors too but I know that's a stretch

[zenith perch]

Why are Corvettes getting a second expedition in a row is my question

[gloomy isle]

No

[spark pecan]

guys is it out on steam bc i just reinstalled windows

[hard stirrup]

Breach expedition...that's the update.

[heavy light]

One mission

[undone forge]

In the expedition reward ye

[orchid bronze]

We do have spacewalking with the corvettes

[azure scroll]

just now yes

[safe quarry]

Don't see any bits in that image that are new assets. Derelict, the lightning storms, an asteroid

[heavy light]

Expedition 20: Breach
That appears to be it

[spark pecan]

thank you

[wind panther]

Something called a ZENGINE

[native carbon]

they still didnt fixed the windows...

[dense quartz]

Load in, take a single step forward, bubbles in front of my eyes.
Ah, they still didn't fix that bug. 2 seconds in and I see a bug lmao.

[gloomy isle]

Is the interior geometry better at least?

[safe quarry]

I am surprised that bubble glitch is still there

[night girder]

I was hoping for an update that has something to do with a new raid like the freighters

[ebon spoke]

new space pois maybe 👀

[grizzled apex]

Oo, something called SpaceDebris

[proper stone]

Man i wish they fixed that xtupid window overlap, its so ass

[vestal barn]

where bro ? 😮

[wind panther]

Some ATLAS effects, ATLASSHIELD, ATLASWINGDIAMOND, ATLASWINGORB. Those might be for the new parts

[safe quarry]

that could be the debris in the picture

[azure scroll]

how you find that?

[zenith perch]

Datamining

[gloomy isle]

Exciting! Maybe it's added a lil something to loot in space

[zenith perch]

Bomber is a dataminer

[rapid breach]

could still happen, expeditions usually bring minor new features outside of the actual expedition

[grizzled apex]

Seems like it's supposed to be a broken corvette from the filenames?

[zenith perch]

Are these new additions in this update or just unused stuff

[uncut harness]

I was hoping they'd fix the catalog of decorations that can be placed in freighter vs base vs corvette and make it more uniform

[orchid bronze]

Might be a space exploration/walking update

[zenith perch]

Time to add space fishing /s

[wind panther]

New pulse engine effects

[safe quarry]

I mean as an alternative way to get corvette parts I like this

[grizzled apex]

The expedition hasn't started yet so its hard to see what's exactly unused

[uncut harness]

That's not a joke, I want that

[vestal barn]

yes. that's great

[rapid breach]

loose the/s this would be a fire feature

[night girder]

Are there no patch notes included in the update title screen

[vestal barn]

so we got new parts and new pulse engine ?

[heavy light]

It seems to only be Expedition 20: Breach

[shadow harbor]

this about the doors ?

[native carbon]

THEY FIXED THE CORVETTE STAIRS

[wind panther]

Something called FULLHAB

[heavy light]

Yup, Door = Breach

[heavy light]

LETS FUCKING GO

[shadow harbor]

what was wrong with the stairs

[azure scroll]

fixed stairs how?

[undone forge]

LET ME IN

[safe quarry]

zoom and 'enhance'!:

[dense quartz]

There's a bunch of new corvette parts.

[proper stone]

Usually we get some new bits with expedition update. Like new parts or smyh

[wind panther]

Several new plants in the expedition rewards

[safe quarry]

Definitely a generic derelict in the background

[wind panther]

buildable plants

[proper stone]

Maybe they finally allow us corvette infraknife lol

[safe quarry]

But the foreground debris could be what @grizzled apex has found?

[orchid bronze]

Expedition only updates aren't really new

So yeah this might that

[heavy light]

Is that a fucking heart?

[grizzled apex]

Probably the new space poi instead

[ebon spoke]

METADATA/ENGINESETTINGS/USERSETTINGS/GCUSERSETTINGSDATAGDKHANDHELD.MBIN new file

[zenith perch]

Its less might and more, is

[safe quarry]

no its just an asteroid

[wind panther]

Quicksilver vendor items

[zenith perch]

GDK handheld sounds like a new platform

[heavy light]

It has spikes in it

[ebon spoke]

Steamdeck specific settings file too

[zenith perch]

I can't remember what gdk stands for

[proper stone]

Guys its just an asteroid lol, its not a new space poi

[grizzled apex]

New type of handheld or more steamdeck stuff?

[zenith perch]

Oh they might be trying to do a Steam Deck optimized version.

[rapid breach]

Mobile would be fire

[safe quarry]

Yeah I've seen those asteroids before

[zenith perch]

They have like 20 seperate platforms to do updates for atp

[native carbon]

corvettes appear to me more laggy tho

🙁

[ebon spoke]

both

[undone vigil]

rip the anomaly xD

[heavy light]

They’re adding support for the Stadia guys!

[zenith perch]

Yeah that's a steam deck version incoming

gdk handheld sounds like the rog ally if i had to guess

[uncut harness]

Did you know you can mine asteroids with your multitool?

[safe quarry]

https://preview.redd.it/ive-never-seen-so-many-gold-and-platinum-crystal-asteroids-v0-g2eca8rrd1i91.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=8f5387356e206e8ebdf462416b1303c6773af9c0

It's just one of them. nothing new

[heavy light]

Oh yeah those

[native carbon]

this isnt new?

[eternal radish]

NMS on my iPad Pro.

[proper stone]

Its not

[vestal barn]

any pic for expedition rewards

[safe quarry]

nu uh

[heavy light]

Forgot those exist

[grizzled apex]

GDK is just a generic term for Game Development Kit, not a specific platform

[zenith perch]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/gdk/docs/gdk-dev/intro/welcome

GDK, very likely a ROG ALLY version or whatever they're calling their handheld.

[ebon spoke]

new effects for 'salvage explosions'

[zenith perch]

It is but it depends on how the rog does games

[heavy light]

#nms-spoilers message

#nms-spoilers message

[native carbon]

new icons

[rancid flax]

hope so. no mans sky on my rog ally x runs absolutely terrible

[zenith perch]

Maybe they'll just re-use the microsoft store version idk

[safe quarry]

They're a bit more readable.

[thick falcon]

So whats the update, just corvette parts and expedition?

[safe quarry]

The perspective before made them hard to tell apart

[azure scroll]

looks like it 🙁

[safe quarry]

isometric is better

[zenith perch]

Yeah but it does specifically say gdkhandheld so maybe its also just settings specifically for portable devices

[zenith perch]

Seems to just be that

[thick falcon]

"Its an actual update ill tell you that much"

• Omega

[zenith perch]

Might be some minor qol stuff

[shadow harbor]

Wait what new corvette parts are there?

[eternal radish]

Hmmm. Tasty.

[ebon spoke]

ooh, looks like there are broken corvettes in space?!

[native carbon]

HOLD ON

NEW PARTS

[icy citrus]

The pattern they established years ago, Update that introduces something new, followed by expedition focused

[azure scroll]

where's that quote from?

[safe quarry]

Actually in the game???

[dense quartz]

Yes, there's new parts.

[undone vigil]

i like the legs

[heavy light]

”Its the actual update”

[zenith perch]

Omega tbf was an overhaul to expeditions.

[cunning flower]

the update is out ? i don't see a trailer

[proper stone]

L E G S

[ebon spoke]

in the files, with the other new space poi

[zenith perch]

I'll await the patch notes to see if they've snuck in QoL

[sonic kernel]

just downloaded in steam

[zenith perch]

Still wanting my please let me toggle ship boosting setting.

[heavy light]

I didn’t say an actual update, I said it’s the update, meaning the update Sean has been teasing not a patch

[cunning flower]

omg sideways ramps 😭

[safe quarry]

oooh i hope its for more than just the expedition

[ebon spoke]

those are hype parts

[thick falcon]

And I said its a Voyagers patch, which this is.

[heavy light]

Me in #no-mans-sky but misquoted

[thick falcon]

They've added parts in a patch before

[solar turret]

well ....... gues im rebuilding my corvette lol

[safe quarry]

Looks like its actually what I predicted: An expedition to pad out a corvette parts update.

[heavy light]

No it’s not it’s a new update with a new expedition, it just doesn’t have a new splash card

[icy citrus]

It's an Update

[eternal radish]

Same

[shadow harbor]

Any new hab things?

[native carbon]

NEW PARTS @icy citrus i lost 🙁

[heavy light]

If it was a voyagers patch it would be 6.07 not 6.10

[thick falcon]

Its literally 6.10 its not even a new update number

[safe quarry]

Any sign of the doors for corvettes?

[zenith perch]

This is just an expedition not a full on named update type thing like Aquarius was

[heavy light]

Brother what are you smoking
That is the literal definition of a new update number

[spiral patrol]

no new cockpits?

[undone vigil]

look at the little almost-snowmobile =]

[uncut harness]

what that

[snow wharf]

what part is this

[heavy light]

Guys bacon said updates that don’t start on a new number aren’t actual updates, the game has only had 5 updates ever

[native carbon]

infra knife gun

[proper stone]

New big ass wing

[hasty nova]

I just went to load up nms to get my frigate stuff before work and hyyyype

[cunning flower]

they added Interceptor-inspired corvette parts in the quicksilver shop

[solar turret]

goodbye photon cannon , HELLO INFRAKNIFE

[safe quarry]

Does this replace the 'dead eye cannon'??

[thick falcon]

If the definition of a new update is a few new parts and an expedition thats lame as hell why even tease that

[safe quarry]

the cyclotron one

[icy citrus]

I know

[zenith perch]

I've said many times over the years HG has a setting expectations issue and I've been continually shot down for it.

[uncut harness]

so, its mainly new corevtte parts, right?

[heavy light]

Rip Fi

What’s your punishment

[wind panther]

Hmm, somethign significant changed in the corvette globals file, can't tell what yet

[icy citrus]

He tweets an emoji and people make up things in their head.

That's on them

[acoustic dew]

How do they keep cooking endlessly. 🔥

[safe quarry]

I am fine with new corvette parts. But I wish there was some hab elements like doors etc.

[hard stirrup]

No new parts though, was hoping for a trade terminal for corvettes but nope. And Medi-Pod is still broken.

[wind panther]

HG doesn't set expectations in any way

[deft beacon]

ARE THERE DOORS THO? i need to know

[native carbon]

new icons

[solar turret]

what was broken about the med pod

[proper stone]

Maybe some extra spacewalking mechanics, coz the expedition seems to be about spacewalking

[spiral patrol]

not rlly he does that on purpose to hype ppl

[native carbon]

there are new parts goober

look

[zenith perch]

I honestly think they'd be better off just tweeting an emoji and the update name or doing actual advertising that isn't just the trailers when stuff comes out but I've said this enough times atp to where its never happening.

[deft beacon]

but is there doors?

[thick falcon]

Are there not even door parts, wtf does the door emoji mean

[icy citrus]

So because someone sends out an emoji it's their fault the fan base then does tinfoil hat type shit? I don't think so

[grizzled apex]

Yep, definitely space wrecked corvettes

[safe quarry]

Looks like the deadeyecannon is now just a reskin of the cyclotron

which is good

[hard stirrup]

I meant internally. For the living space.

[cunning flower]

did they fix the fact that some parts can't be rotated !?

[hasty nova]

Wrecked space corvettes hyyyyype

[safe quarry]

shouldn't exclude people for not playing that expedition

[wind panther]

Advertising costs money. They get free advertising this way

[heavy light]

”Cyclotron defense canon”
So they changed the torpedo launchers finally?

[uncut harness]

deadeye was supposed to be positron, no?

[deft beacon]

im still not seeing any doors

[zenith perch]

Restricting certain ship types to certain content is a new thing.

[icy citrus]

You'd think at this point we'd all understand the emoji doesn't mean we are getting a revolutionary and massive update and yet....

[undone vigil]

fun! randomly crossing a dead corvette then EVAing out to explore sounds awesome =]

[proper stone]

Door = breach

[deft beacon]

breaching what?

[safe quarry]

Salvaging in space. I HOPE this is either already added as a feature, or will be post expedition.

[wind panther]

Living Ships, Freighters

[zenith perch]

Wel they're the ones doing the emoji marketing

[thick falcon]

Ok but then why even do an emoji

[proper stone]

Nothing, its new expedition name

[carmine jolt]

expedition name

[deft beacon]

oh

is expedition started?

[icy citrus]

Why not? Most of us have fun with the guessing and don't weird out when it isn't what we guessed
