#

I'm still searching for a perfect planet

vital halo Jul 28, 2020, 2:48 PM

Nvm I didn't hold down click

#

In I go!

#

Just to make a house and come back

#

But hey how many people have actually gone to the core lol

#

This is some good times tho

Isn't there like 100 other cores to warp to lol

Looking back at all the distance I covered as it gets "wiped away" with some good music playin

vital halo Jul 28, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

Now to go back and never go through again lol

#

Oh wait gotta make a base first

#

It's like traveling one galaxy is traveling earth, but traveling to another is landing on the moon

#

Yeah not many people have but it's pointless

#

Ok ok I'm sorry but

#

-716k-

#

HOW FAR OUT??

#

Do I have to travel to the core AGAIN

mental socket Jul 28, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

Nope. You can use teleporters to travel back to your bases in Euclid

#

remember, if you don't have a base in the other galaxy, only way there again is the painful warp that breaks everything

mighty rampart Jul 28, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

you can use teleporters to travel back to your space stations in Euclid

#

not just bases (like it was before)

violet narwhal Jul 28, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

The text for the new base stuff (that has been there since desolation first released) suggests there should be at least 3 new buildable rooms, as well as the decoration stuff.

mighty rampart Jul 28, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

really? considering we already saw the 14 base parts in question

#

unless they're now going to add 3 rooms

#

assuming those are those rooms with the different wall panelling you see in these derelicts

violet narwhal Jul 28, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

Well yeah, but it hasn't made public yet... They may come later, or not at all.

mighty rampart Jul 28, 2020, 2:59 PM

hopefully the former

it really is jarring how these derelicts use the interiors of frigates over freighters

Looking at the above picture; what's an "unclaimed base"?

mental socket Jul 29, 2020, 9:26 AM

A generated base computer in the wild

with a nice flat circular area of ground around it

Before NEXT we could only build a base on those pre-determined spots with a base computer room thing

And only have one

@mental socket you were only allowed to have one base at predetermined spots? Glad I started playing recently then as that would have put me off.

uncut harness Jul 29, 2020, 12:45 PM

Some of the tech upgrades will be damaged and in need of repair (just like at start of the game)

#

Bases will be fine, you can still teleport to Euclid

#

The teleporters save last X bases / stations visited, as long as you have Euclid in those recently visited, you can go there

#

So when you get to Hilbert's core, are you given another "pick one of 4" option or does it just hurl you into another teal galaxy

#

Cause I really regret not going any of the other colors

#

And on that note, is there actually no statistical difference between red galaxies and teal ones because that's funny as hell

uncut harness Jul 29, 2020, 3:18 PM

Galaxy type of affects yellow stars

#

https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Galaxy#Galaxy_types

No Man's Sky Wiki

Galaxy

A galaxy is the second largest named object in No Man's Sky.

#

So according to that chart, the only difference is that Red has extra chance of having extreme weather

Idk if this is of interest to anyone, but I thought it was. I'm doing the Artemis quest line and just went through the portal and saw the hex world. I managed to scan a couple plants and get the planet name. After I talked to atlas it dumped me out on a random planet, but it's actually the same planet. Same name, and the hex plants I scanned are even in the discoveries for it. Guess the world you go to doesn't actually exist in the universe, its just an illusion.

I keep going because I want to find a very spefic MT 😖

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:06 AM

#

yep. i built my billions per day farms. But with a 4 bil balance cap its pointless actually harvesting them,

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:07 AM

#

I keep my farm at 80 million

#

That's generally enough for Alot of things 🙃

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:09 AM

#

its somewhat ironic - IA farms are thinking small. I couldnt make "only 80 mil" with a sweep of a SD farm.

#

But, once the effort has gone into setting it up (and the arguably lower material cost than an IA farm), its just as pointless

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:10 AM

#

This game lacks a end game

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:11 AM

#

I think it has an end game. if you take it at its original face value

#

its about exploration.

prime inlet Jul 30, 2020, 11:11 AM

#

what they need to now is to improve that part, a lot.

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:11 AM

#

Yea but exploration.. Its all kind of the same

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:12 AM

#

if you play it ultra casual, then its full of goodies to find. wierd ass Gek statues in space. derelict freighters have storylines worthy of cthulu mythos

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:13 AM

I find derelicts boring as feck now

Just reading a bunch of stuff that will never effect you

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:16 AM

yeah the freighter texts are a little less varied than expected

#

starting to get the same ones now

#

unless its just my luck

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:16 AM

I just keep getting the same Freighter. SS Sister of Sysomething

no matter which system i try

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:16 AM

that's weird

prime inlet Jul 30, 2020, 11:17 AM

yeah, i agree

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:17 AM

#

I havent had a freighter name repeat itself

#

actually I've gotten some interesting ones

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:17 AM

#

I've had 2 the same

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:17 AM

#

interestingly the freighter I keep getting repeats of is different to the freighter that is the "owner" of any upgrades I find by searching alien artifact sites in the system

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:18 AM

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:18 AM

It's all the same objectives anyway

quite a large one

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:18 AM

Why not over load the power core and blow a infected one up

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:18 AM

#

now I wonder how many other references like this I've missed

#

well there was that one traveller named Raj

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

Why not be able to rescue some crew ☹️

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

are you sure its a reference? not just The [prefix]+[suffix] Hauler where prefixes included "Sap" and suffixes included "poro" ?

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

Bing bop. Everyone's dead. Go to 3 terminals zzzz

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

that is one hell of a coincidence if true

#

but I think only planets use that naming because freighters, ships etc always have proper words in them

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

prefixes = [Hel, Sap], suffixes = [sinki, poro] is sometimes going to make Helsinki, or Sapporo, and sometimes Helporo or Sapsinki

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

hmm fair I suppose

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

Be cool if a freighter was captured by the 1st spawn. And u had to join local forces to disable it. Then board it and kill them all

#

Or if infected ones had a boss battle where u had to kill a queen or blow it up ect

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:24 AM

#

HG needs to take those swam pods and retroactively apply them to abandoned stations

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

They need to do Alot of things 😭

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

I have a list (tm) 😛

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

Me 2

#

Need faction wars. Movable freighters docks for freighters. More space stations

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:26 AM

#

my list just starts with bug fixes and "controller" fixes.

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:27 AM

#

Systems need to feel more lived in ☹️

#

Aka ship yards too

#

This game has endless possibilities

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:30 AM

#

orbital bases are a thing i;d like.
additional ship slots. so i can try out a living ship without loosing my ability to salvage ships
freighter base transfer would obviate the need for freighter class upgrades - to a degree
controller buton remapping and "normalization" so that one button isnt used differently all over the damn game. and the buttons that are supposed to work actually do

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

Rather Alot to fix and do

#

Zombie a question

#

Do you feel HG lack focus 🤔

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

I dont understand the interest in orbital bases

#

isnt that like, what freighter bases do?

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

i want glass tubes in orbit

#

not what freighter bases do at all.

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

@mighty rampart have u ever seen a farm 🤔

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:36 AM

#

I feel like I should be answering that with a yes and you will reply with "yeah but have you seen one?"

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:37 AM

#

I really dont know about the lack of focus... theyre a small team with a big project with a ... savage history.

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:37 AM

#

Orbital farms

#

Dunno living ships feel kind of unfinished

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:38 AM

#

its not exactly "lack of focus" that's the problem

#

but rather them playing tightrope on every step of where they want the game to go

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:38 AM

#

i think theres a lack of overaching vision

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:38 AM

#

Knd of feels like thier rushing updates out to increase spikes in player numbers sometimes

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:39 AM

#

living ships. great idea. kind of. but theyre different. And we have only 6 ship slots. And 5 existing ship types. and ship salvage is a gameplay mechanic.

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:40 AM

#

more like their vision is contradicted every step of the way, they first got the game to be a walking sim exploration, then decided to make said exploration less grindy, then thought "wait we need a better story" and then it spiralled into pleasing everyone by adding a little bit of every genre of games

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:40 AM

#

so... how does one, who collects ships, which was previously encouraged, do so, with a living ship. You either lock yourself out of a classic ship collection. ship salvage as a gameplay thing. or living ships. Choose 2.

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:40 AM

#

so I think their vision is to just make everyone happy somehow

uncut harness Jul 30, 2020, 11:40 AM

#

Maybe an orbital base for multiple players and their freighters

#

Advanced upgrades, customisation for your capital ship

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

galaxies, kind of suck.

uncut harness Jul 30, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

Kinda silly we can customize freighters from terminals inside them

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

cross play is allowed.

#

but so are mods on steam

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

so yeah its not that they lack focus, but they're focussing on things we dont care for

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:42 AM

#

and save games are not forward only. so duping and item editing is rampant

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:42 AM

#

Sean's main issue is

#

He probably wants to please everyone

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:42 AM

#

probably

#

its also equally likely he wants to add all the things he ends up enjoying from other games

#

hence this mishmash of all genres

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:43 AM

#

im like - if we keep mods - figure out how to make them cross platform.

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:43 AM

#

when he was talking about mp he kept talking about destiny

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:43 AM

#

Eww

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:43 AM

#

or, lock modded players out of the MP ecosystem.

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:43 AM

#

Destiny didn't have the best start in life

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:44 AM

#

but they're at a pretty decent position now that they're independent

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:44 AM

#

It was decent but just bugger all to do and short story and no information about the universe

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:45 AM

#

and get rid of explicit save games. Modern games that are cloud synced don't do that any more.

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:45 AM

#

wdym explicit save games

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:45 AM

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

Probably kill off the player base abit

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

like an absolute "fuck no I am passing by a 10 meter distance"

#

they better always keep save files physical

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

no. not a ban on save editing.

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

They need to grab some mods and put em onto the game 🙃

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

just - no "reload" on cloud hosted save games.

#

you dont reload your diablo 3 character.

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

until the game is 95% bug free that I'm not worried about doing backups for every hour

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

they need to add explicit support for mods. with a language like lua for ui mods. and then allow cloud hosted mods and approved mods to sync to console versions of the game

prime inlet Jul 30, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

i try to play as "honestly" as the game allows me to, and i don't use any mods that give me godly anomaly powers, like infinite jetpack or 48 slots on a living ship. but i do like more variation, and i dislike high clouds for example, and how asteroids are everywhere in vanilla. so i feel locking players with mods out of mp would be too harsh, until HG introduces some of these mods into vanilla.

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 11:49 AM

#

lua with api access to build mode would be amazing.

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 11:49 AM

#

Asteroids and freighter spawn everywhere 🙄

#

Reduce asteroids and have a break down service in the game xD

haughty rover Jul 30, 2020, 12:16 PM

#

Living multi tool next I bet

slender idol Jul 30, 2020, 12:26 PM

#

i keep ending up with asteroids in my freighter hangar. annoying AF

fluid obsidian Jul 30, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

its still just an exploration game at heart. I believe the game became confused when they targeted 'casual gamers', that is why difficulty is artificial cheap things like more grind and updates are 'now omg wow features' and not like game improvements such a player driven economy. The latest I tested, I've never done such a small and easy "dungeon", was very lackluster compared to skyrim. To give me an illusion of suspense they force me to walk slow 'aka magboots no gravity', but all loot is stuck to the ground in place so easy.

Personally I hope they always let me edit my saves and use mods in MP as I am finding most people play normal mode (even if they tell me they are playing survival), so the mods I work on actually make the game more difficult and I just want to explore with other people in a game thats fun but also brutal from skill/chance not a game that's grindy for the sake of grind.

Because if it wasn't, that's the way they should approach it

like flamethrower or some other type of tech like idk, freezing ray?

nocturne zephyr Jul 30, 2020, 6:51 PM

for sure

flamethrower more effective against the little bio horrors and jelly fish

#

freeze ray more effective against mechanical enemies

mighty rampart Jul 30, 2020, 7:01 PM

@fading edge those items can usually be given to all sorts of things mainly the races to improve reputation

#

u can sometimes also use them at monoliths to discover a portal location

#

not rly a reason to keep them on u tho unless u need them at hand

they can mostly be bought if u go to any spaceship npc on a trading station on a planet and not those in space

Same tbh

We have walkers and they're way too easy to beat LOL. My major wish personally is an update to provide very difficult combat challenges (and other sorts of challenges) for even folks who have the highest possible upgrades, and to generally just make combat harder through the entire game. The AI is not good, and the exploits are many.

Aside from that, I think something I really find myself thinking about with this game is my disinterest with the story and world building. I find the NMS narrative quite boring, repetitive, and artificially lengthened by busy work. In my opinion, they should do a complete re-work of the existing story (dropping the boring, done-to-death-reality-is-a-lie narrative) - This game has a lot of potential for cool villains, boss fights, frightening creature encounters, and more. Additionally, they need to make the world feel more alive, whether they keep with the simulation stuff or not. We need more variation in alien races. 3 doesn't cut it.

Additionally, everything from trade outposts to space stations need variation. The problem for me throughout the story and my experience in general was that not only was everything a simulation from a narrative perspective, but also just from a visual and gameplay perspective it all LOOKED and FELT like a simulation too. Very little variation. All rather boring to look at. Ships fly around and freighter fleets warp in without purpose other than for you to shoot at them with barely any resistance, or buy them without any argument because apparently every freighter captain in the game is bored and hates their life. When you finally realize "What? It was all a simulation?" it should be a surprising revelation, not "Oh. Yeah I guess that makes a lot of sense now 😒 "

I'm not trying to come off as ranting. I actually enjoy this game, but I don't enjoy it for the reasons I'd prefer. I like the community, helping people, and building random things with them. There's not much else there for me 🤷‍♂️

#

inquire TL;DR - Quack Quack

uncut harness Jul 31, 2020, 12:44 PM

@golden rain While you raise a valid point regarding combat, please consider that the game is also running on VR. Never used it, but I don't think you could get the same precise movement and aiming as with PC / console. Bumping up the mechanical difficulty of combat might hurt the VR players.

subtle portal Jul 31, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

Perhaps a way for enemies to scale to the amount of upgrades the player has? That might improve difficulty

@uncut harness I know the game is running on VR. I have played the game numerous times on both the Vive and Oculus, and it was even easier because you can teleport using VR, essentially being able to "VWOOP" your way out of any negative situation.

#

So that's actually not even helping the difficulty argument unfortunately. I find it way easier to kill with VR because I have that precise realistic aiming, being able to aim around corners my moving my head, and teleport towards enemies, defeat them with a shotgun blast, then quickly teleport away to reload or pick a better firing position.

@muted ember I'd be okay with that. Ever since I started the game, even with my little mining beam, I was murdering the strongest enemies and yawning. I don't want things to be bullet sponges. I want removal of exploitable tactics and better AI.

I never said that's what you meant, I'm just stating that the difference needs to be taken into account if the devs decide to make changes

golden rain Jul 31, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

Anyway, my biggest issue remains with the narrative though. Not a big fan.

#

Like I said, pacing and lack of originality had me and my friends involved with the story more for unlocks and less for that "What's going to happen next?" mentality.

vestal ledge Jul 31, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

Gotta keep in mind this game is really massive. Which means implementation takes time and effort. Even with derelict freighters we got a plethora of bugs, HG probably will instill a lot of your ideas eventually. They just dont have enough people/time with covid to make it all happen within the next 3 months

golden rain Jul 31, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

Which would concern me if I was asking for them to do it within three months. Thankfully though I was not so impatient as to create a desired timeline. Nor should anyone, for the exact reasons you just cited.

Just want to confirm something: Finishing the Atlas Path will not send me to another galaxy, right? If I finish it as part of the Artemis Path before the choice, I will still be able to make the choice I want to?

@mighty rampart You're correct. I wasn't surprised.

timid mist Jul 31, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

Eh I enjoyed the Artemis line, the Atlas line is sort of the Vanilla "story" but definitely lacks in interesting engaging content.

#

I don't feel it's hamfisted either, it ties in pretty well with the existing lore and adds some cool flair and unique characters which I think help the game overall.

willow stirrup Jul 31, 2020, 2:36 PM

Atlas was sort of the original "Story", though even then it wasn't what it is now

golden rain Jul 31, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

I wouldn't necessarily call the story hamfisted either. I think it was executed with precision and intent to fit into the world they wanted to make. I just don't find it particularly interesting. I am convinced at the moment that the story will likely stay as it is, but these are just my hopes. An interesting and emotional story is important because it sets up the player's engagement with the world they're in throughout the narrative and after. I just feel like I didn't develop any meaningful relationships with any characters I interacted with in the story, so the world being reset felt like it had no impact for me. But hey, I'm happy for the people that really enjoyed it. I actually was thinking that I'd create a few of my own brief story improvement ideas in a document and share it here for fun.

mighty rampart Jul 31, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

of course they put quite an effort, but for the end player like me it still lacks so much it feels like an afterthought rather than a good depth storyline

#

I feel the optional logs and stuff are more interesting

#

along with the OG Atlas storyline

nocturne zephyr Jul 31, 2020, 3:07 PM

#

I really enjoyed Artemis's story and it really made the journey more meaningful. I am hopeful future story content will have more flavor visually since we now have walking/sitting NPCs. Would be cool to go to a planet and find one of the missing anomaly NPCs on a planet beside their ship stranded

timid mist Jul 31, 2020, 3:07 PM

#

I think they all compliment each other, I don't feel like looking at each specific type of story engagement on its own is a fair way to assess it

golden rain Jul 31, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

I didn't really care for it even looking at everything tied together. I could have broken down why I think the story telling is severely lacking, since it expands beyond the reasons I've stated, but I really just wanted to summarize my wishes for the future in general.

#

Overall, when it comes to story, like Sohail said there were certain aspects I thought played really well into the world building, like different data pads, terminals, yadda yadda.

timid mist Jul 31, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

Oh yeah I was mostly talking to Sohail, I can understand people having different opinions on the story and all that. Imo it felt pretty cohesive and played along with the themes that have been present in NMS since the beginning, so it was very satisfying. But people enjoy things differently

timid mist Jul 31, 2020, 3:15 PM

The writing is done in a way I really enjoy too, even aside from the actual storyline. The sort of mysterious tone behind almost everything is something I like, so as long as they keep that up I'm happy. And they seem to be, given the stuff we got with the derelicts

#

Derelicts are nice too cause they sprinkle in some humor

#

I agree tho

nocturne zephyr Jul 31, 2020, 3:27 PM

They should add living and dead NPCs to derelicts. Or at least the possibility of them. And have that tied into the procedural storytelling

golden rain Jul 31, 2020, 4:00 PM

I really enjoy derelict freighters despite the fact they're pretty easy even with a super basic loadout. There's just something really fun to me about the randomness of it, and taking one or two people in with you who haven't done it before, and then surprising them by giving them all the loot you got to combine with what they found (which I do 100% of the time because I don't actually need or want any of it.)

As far as the story goes though, and how I feel about maybe just adding on rather than replacing - Considering after you reset the universe at the end of the story, they're already set up to create a second narrative that doesn't have to piggyback off the first. Their current story may have been an unintentional stroke of genius for that reason, or intentional. Who knows until they do... stuff.
I wouldn't mind an expansion to the current story that gives us a proper opposing force of some sort (perhaps some sort of menacing central villain in a new faction with the intention to insert nefarious goals here), an emotionally gripping reason to oppose that villain, more fleshed out relationships with different characters, and a positive, satisfying payoff. Perhaps even, meaningful choices. Throughout the current story I noticed many dialogue options, and I can't recall one option where what I said mattered. Granted, a good story doesn't NEED meaningful choices to be good. Not by a long shot. I just think we're to the point in gaming where if you CAN do it, and do it in a way that makes sense and has actual consequences, you might as well do it. Especially considering you can make multiple save files so easily that you could go back and maybe make choices you went against the first time around. I don't know, just a thought. If they do nothing and just focus on more engaging end-game, I'd still be satisfied.

I had to uninstall Geology Cannon because I was more of a danger to myself than the enemies I was firing it at.

timid mist Jul 31, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

thankfully it doesn't hurt you, the problem is when you enter a room with like 10 nests and think to yourself "I will fight one at a time"

#

then you see the "hostile creature count" tooltip go to 50+

#

I have full shield upgrades and I almost died for the first time in like ayear

golden rain Jul 31, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

I've never fought one of those nests in the 50,000 derelicts I've done.

#

I have only witnessed other people in my party fight them and murder them all before I could do anything. Slipping by them is really easy. You can even walk right by them while they're stirring as long as you occasionally let off movement for half a second.

timid mist Jul 31, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

I just don't like to tiptoe even a little bit so I take the time to wipe them out

golden rain Jul 31, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

What I think they should do is create some additional stories and enemies to tie into them, like some crazy abyssal horror type creatures stalking the halls in some crazy Predator type storyline told through the data pads.

timid mist Jul 31, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

I agree

#

Definiitely ripe for addiitions, though I wouldn't be upset if they just took the systems they used to create the derelicts and applied them to other POIs, maybe some on-planet ruin dungeons

golden rain Jul 31, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

They already clearly took a lot of inspiration from Dead Space and Alien Isolation, so they may as well shamelessly rip off some concepts lol.

timid mist Jul 31, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

Lol yeah, i think it's a very general sci-fi trope too and that's sort of their thing

golden rain Jul 31, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

I agree. The game could use some difficult boss type encounters and randomized on foot ruins or abandoned bases of sorts.

timid mist Jul 31, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

but imagining being able to find some sprawling underground ruins with a new "ancient sentinel" type or something would be cool

golden rain Jul 31, 2020, 4:11 PM

#

YOU LISTENING, DEVS?

timid mist Jul 31, 2020, 4:11 PM

#

I think what will really create a lot of possibilities would be having NPCs freely traverse environments. So much to be done w that

#

I think they are inching closer to that, personally

golden rain Jul 31, 2020, 4:15 PM

#

That plays into the world building I mentioned. I realize it is a simulation, but that revelation would be more impactful if the player looked at the lively environments and thought... "Wow... You're telling me this world is a simulation? Geez. Everything I know is a lie. I thought video games were real life."

Jokes aside, NPCs playing a bigger role than they do now would be nice. I also think at least a few more alien races and NPCs doing a large variety of things both on their own and directly to/for the players would contribute to the game's world feeling less "wide as an ocean but deep as a puddle". It really needs to feel alive not only because that's what makes a massive universe game like this interesting, but because that would fit perfectly into the current story's layout.

#

Edited what I said in the middle of the last bit because it completely changed what I meant.

timid mist Jul 31, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

I think it will be hard for them to really introduce more races without stomping on the lore they have set in stone, unless they do a sort of "big event' that creates a new race. All of the lore mentions 3 races specifically so it would be major retconning to just dump in more. The travelers worked because they're meant to be outside observers in a way, so maybe just sub-species of travelers being their own thing would be cool

golden rain Jul 31, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

So I think our conclusion is basically that what's best for everyone would be improved world building through more exciting, difficult, random environments; better NPC interactions and seeing them do more, and literally shamelessly copy-pasting everything from Dead Space for Derelict Freighters including exact enemy model rips from the Dead Space games, along with a very nice "please do not sue us" letter from Hello Games to EA.

Disturbance pre-fix: || The corruption welcomes me, claiming that it has met me, time and time again. I hear it's static in my mind, now. It demands gifts. It claims to have given me so many... ||

Disturbance post-fix: || The Anomaly ceases. I think back to Mercury's doubts... to the failures of Hesperus. My fellow Travellers are doing their best. We much help each other, I know.

If not try going through a portal and pulse a while/warp

uncut harness Aug 1, 2020, 4:49 PM

@twilit steeple you dont need to warp theres a bad YouTube tutorial out there

#

Use pulse drive in a straight line

#

It will say anomalous signal and you'll see a living ship in formation with yours

#

Use trade frequency

#

Just make sure you're holding the egg

#

And dont expect to finish it in less than a week lol @twilit steeple

I picked eissentam

willow stirrup Aug 1, 2020, 9:29 PM

I like Eissentam, but I moved there before finishing the quests. Now I'm getting close to that choice myself and I'm trying to decide if I want to go to Isdoraijung or if I want to see if I can find someone with a base there before my choice and go all the way to Sudzerbal

rocky pelican Aug 1, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

In a previous run I picked Calypso but I realized such a galaxy is kinda pointless. You go to extreme planets for activated metals which are now super common for sure, but most people go for activated indium which is in star systems unaffected by galaxy type

#

Budullangr is in a similar boat tbh. There are stars you can go to that already have more weird planets. And who finds as much entertainment in a dead planet as, say, literally any other type?

#

I'm not much of a base person but I made this just so I can return to Eissentam whenever if I decide to piggyback somewhere else

idk, i've found interesting stuff in Calypso. and i do seem to be finding s class hotspots a lot more frequently than in my previous attempts in euclid when setting up my grows, and i'm redoing the same farms i did in euclid. i'm very much a fan of extreme planets myself, i like the hazards, and there's plenty of those in Calypso.

yea ive found calypso to be pretty fun in terms of challenge though there isn’t really much in the way of difficulty, I don’t really care for indium farming either so

I was flying in hilbert, grinding blackholes at endgame, main quests done, artemis messaged me though, saying something something "The key: euclid"

Kind of a dumb question but is there anything extra with the Atlas after the main quest?

@uncut harness it's not cheating when it's a design flaw 😛

More seriously, that's just more reason to contact HG & request that they provide another way to attain living ships that doesn't involve crappy timegates

idle jay Aug 2, 2020, 4:58 AM

#

Or if they want to keep the timegates then just shorten them a lot more

crisp fern Aug 2, 2020, 5:10 AM

Nope

#

Timegates are literally nothing content. Instead of anything, they chose to implement nothing between tasks, for no other reason than to pad things out

rocky pelican Aug 2, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

It sucks that the Atlas is dying. It's dying really freaking slow at least, but still dying

#

holy crap I just realized something

#

Our character is so good at building, installing stuff, repairing stuff, etc because he/she is the result of a brain scan of the Atlas' creator, who obviously was likely a genius at all that stuff

karmic coyote Aug 2, 2020, 5:34 AM

Atlas injected code into that exosuit though, so it may be doing more work than normal travelers' exosuits

I agree, this game isnt Ark Survivak Evolved. They could've gave us ways to speed up the timer by achieving goals, warping, or anything

Because warping is technically time travel

On completing the main quest, I thought I read you can get an S-class Fighter ship as sort of a final reward. Is that wrong and the final reward is the 'simulation restart' / free galaxy travel?

yeah you can

#

not just the bases but even the space stations

can go aahead and build that base now

just make sure to build a base in the new galaxy too just in case

ye, there were threads by people not being able to tp back to stations n such

#

okay, thx, will keep that in mind

#

out of curiousity, did everyone have a planet of light in the euclid center?

you mean near the center?

#

they're all discovered systems

dapper eagle Aug 3, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

in my galaxy it was all unchartered territory

#

every single system

#

i was just wondering if the procedural generation gave everyone a planet of light in their last system, the center of the euclid galaxy

#

i havent done the living ship questline in the anomaly

#

can i still do that in a new galaxy?

#

or does the galaxy reset function as a new game +, where i have to start all over again, beginning with basic questlines

#

and another question - am i right to assume most players choose a lush galaxy (e.g. eissentam) for their new galaxy? i hear that galaxy name more often than others

uncut harness Aug 3, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

eissentam is probably the most popular choice

and about that living ship thing

Lush - This type is referred to in-game as Halcyon, Inspiring, Serene or Tranquil galaxy, and displayed with a green hologram.
The following numbered galaxies belong to this type: 10, 19, 30, 39, 50, 59, 70 etc, a total of 25.

i played 50 hours in the past 5 days, im kinda takin a small break now that i finally beat the campaign and made it to the next galaxy, at least for tonight.

fluid obsidian Aug 3, 2020, 4:11 PM

#

I'm guessing Ess is the best out of the 25 lush galaxies

dapper eagle Aug 3, 2020, 4:12 PM

#

idk what determines if u get to eisentamm or another galaxy, or if u always get to eisentamm first when u choose lush

#

i was happy i got to eisentamm, as i had already seen it in pictures n videos, and knew that was how i would want my NMS to look like

yeah its a set hop

#

euclid is so incredibly dull, it almost makes it look like lower budget

fluid obsidian Aug 3, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

like you will always go to ess from eucalid if you pick the green option

dapper eagle Aug 3, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

yes

#

the last few missions before event 16 were cool tho

#

u had more exotic biomes

#

and generally speakin sth to break up the dull routine of "seen it all"

#

there was a planet of light

#

which i enjoyed very much

#

u just had this feeling of discovery again

fluid obsidian Aug 3, 2020, 4:14 PM

#

in Ess?

dapper eagle Aug 3, 2020, 4:14 PM

#

that had gone missing after 2-3 h into the campaign

#

no, euclid still

#

once i got the purge quest

#

i boarded every station in every system on my way to atlas

#

so i could go back and explore

#

i ended up liking the last few system so much that i built bases in systems 10-16

#

so picture this: i built roughly the same amount of bases until i got to that point

#

oh, btw, in case u havent gotten to Ess yet

#

stash up on all ur resources

#

u gonna need it

fluid obsidian Aug 3, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

nice, I read on the net ppl suggest you just leave 1 base in eucalid but Im guessing that was back when you only had limited base amounts

dapper eagle Aug 3, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

especially the looms, i forgot their name, those loom tablets (blue in color)

#

u still got 50 base cap

fluid obsidian Aug 3, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

the glyphs for portal addy?

dapper eagle Aug 3, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

no

fluid obsidian Aug 3, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

there is a hard cap? dammit. Internet is bullshit.

Wiring Loom

Wiring Loom is a consumable product.

#

when u get to the new galaxy all ur techs get busted

fluid obsidian Aug 3, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

oh yep

#

they are expensive baddies

dapper eagle Aug 3, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

except those in the spaceship technology tab and your exosuit tech tab

#

so u need to repair a lot

fluid obsidian Aug 3, 2020, 4:19 PM

#

I am not far in on this char new char for desolate. I am spending all my money on looms bastards

dapper eagle Aug 3, 2020, 4:19 PM

#

for me that was 25ish wiring looms

#

u should definitely keep ur bases in euclid

#

so u can always go back

#

and build a base in the new galaxy

#

dont rely on the space station
