nms-the-future

[gloomy patrol]

If they could make this work without being super framey and buggy I might simply die

[brazen oasis]

It’s been quite awhile since the last major update… any idea when the next one might be?

[unreal dome]

teleporter and discoveries menu overhaul would be useful, to add more grouping and sorting, as well as somewhat simplified galaxy map for both and ability to select any specific thing from there as target

oh and hud marker control as well

[fringe dirge]

Update to creatures would be really nice, something like a biodome that you can put an egg in it & then you'll just have a little enclosure for a creature to roam about in. Prefabs like "Creature Habitat (small/medium/large)" depending on the size of the companion egg. Honestly the one thing I feel like I'm missing with base building.

[marble moss]

exotic ship type that look like UFOs

[gloomy hazel]

space.... rain? space rain sounds? I kinda need this now lol

[gloomy hazel]

I want better combat with star battles

[idle tundra]

I would like to see them add motion controls for switch

Gameplay would feel much smoother with that option.

[granite cosmos]

Background noise emitters would be cool
Rain, storm, wind
Like byte jukeboxes

[rigid lantern]

more structures with lots of space to explore, kinda like the abandoned freighters ( i forgot the name) but bigger and on planets and stuff

[hasty spade]

Healing bots getting nerfed and a targeting system for the minotaur so you can get him to attack a specific enemy

[stuck umbra]

I would like to see the ability to Trade/Rename our Squadron's ships. (Example: i have an S class pilot with a C class ship i would like to give him an A or S class ship)
I would also like for EVERYTHING to stop getting right in front of me 🤣
Its annoying when youre trying to scan stuff and your Pet/bot keeps getting in your face and blocking you or you're in a dog fight and your squad keeps blocking your shots lmao.

[hasty spade]

I just blow up that ship that walks in fromt of me, team or not, you get in my way you die

[stuck umbra]

It would also be cool to see different types of rings on planets. Like maybe some of them could have more than one ring or something.

[toxic slate]

So Apple announced new Macbook Pros and Mac minis today and they featured No Man's Sky as part of the announcement video. Is it odd to anyone else that Apple is marketing a game that doesn't even exist yet. This is from the Mac mini product page Jump into graphics-intensive AAA games like No Man’s Sky and Resident Evil Village with fluid frame rates and high fidelity — all enabled by the incredible GPU performance of M2 or M2 Pro.

Surely NMS for Mac must be coming soon?

[visual cloak]

probably

though i thought they were already planning that

[toxic slate]

they have been yes, but it was announced in the spring of last year

[rich jacinth]

I'd even buy at junkyards.... I know r/NMS has suggested this a lot but mix-matching parts on a chassis you like provided you still have to go find the parts whether at a junkyard or scrapping ships.

(Plus, you still need to hunt for high-end ships for amazing parts and even paint if HG decides to ever add this.)

[stuck umbra]

They should add Hunger to atleast Survival difficulty. I understand that we already have multiple things to do upkeep on. But i feel like cooking is pointless. Gimme a reaaon to hunt/forage for food.

I would say drinking too but that might be a bit much to ask for i feel. I would love it. Many others not so much.

And it would be kinda cool to have some form of player guilds. Maybe call them Fleets?

[toxic slate]

It makes sense to add Hunger as an extra survival difficulty option, as long as they make it an optional game state. I definitely don't want to interact with the cooking system, but I'm sure others would

[unkempt mountain]

I would build a quad sail solar and cram as many upgrades to mobility and dps in it as possible mostly to see how effective a blitzkrieg is in NMD

Would be a awesome feature but the over powered stuff made and sold by engineers would reck anything and everything

[icy onyx]

I wish there was a mode that only allows auto save.
Manual save is impossible at all.
It is auto saved and turned off when you turn off the game.

[gloomy hazel]

Maybe even an effects thing, for calm peaceful rain on your freighter or something

[naive tartan]

more customization for your ships, and ability to mod it even more. maybe even add a new "Medium" size type ship, where you can walk around inside, but not as big as a capital ship or freighter. so you can still more around inside of it. maybe pull a witcher 3 and add community mods to the games? theres a lot of amazing mods made by the community, so if you were able to possibly get persmission to get those mods and polish them a bit and add them to the game itself, that would be amazing, like world generation mods and such. maybe add some form of infinitely generating quests, just to keep stuff going? also just add more depth to the colony system and such, such as more buildings and maybe make all the buildings more upgradable and customizable. back to adding community mods, i definitely believe that to be something achievable, id love to see world gen mods and optimization mods get some official polish and be made universal, since optimization for this game should be important in general. but same with just graphic mods, and all other kinds of amazing community content that could be reworked into the game itself. maybe make physics more indepth, since i like doing stuff like crashing ships and seeing what effects those things cause. maybe even have a planetary landing pad for freighters or capital ships, like for example the landing pad from wall e lol, though that might be a bit too much which i understand. maybe just add more settlements or societies in space overall. theres so many civilizations mentioned and great empires, but the only thing we see is the common outpost here and there, sometimes we come across some highly advanced looking technical buildings, but they dont really fill much of a purpose. idk lol

[granite cosmos]

I wish there were more animated robotic head options for travelers and/or anomalies
So far both only have one option each like that

[naive tartan]

thats so true ncr ranger, so true. id love to have more robotic heads, and more unique heads in general

vr support for the gog version of game as well would be an amazing addon

[naive tartan]

id love that

[brazen nova]

I'd love to have more armour options.

Such as the armour and accessories these Legacy Travellers wear.

[naive tartan]

I'd love more accessories in general

[gloomy hazel]

I’d love easier ways to learn the languages without a translator lol

Maybe a npc that can sell you words

[obsidian verge]

Yeah I'm all for customizable ships, they already modular so I would love to swap parts. Mb getting random parts from scrapping

Same for the multi tools

That would encourage more exploring and hunting if you would get only one random part of than multi tool/ship

I'm sure everyone wants to make it "your our"

[naive tartan]

id love to see mods integrated like witcher 3 did, especially stuff like Better Planet Generation and such

[naive tartan]

the dream for every nms player

[neat robin]

Hi everyone

[hallow storm]

More weapons for the living ships?

[obsidian verge]

Also slot progression and class progression is way too expensive 240k nanites for the pet slot. Come on now no one would grind this stuff if there was no CD farming / duping available and those options are not intended in game play.

[oblique smelt]

You can change it in difficulty options

[obsidian verge]

I can play creative as far as I know, that's not the point. Point is this is 60 dollars game and I want content instead of grind bandaid

I don't think anything is normal about 240k nanite slots in normal difficulty if you won't count CD farming and duping in.

[left blade]

I didn’t even realize it costed that much woah

I don’t have a ton on pets I only have like 15

It’s a decent amount but nowhere near the max amount, slots are only about 25k nanites for me, atleast for now

[obsidian verge]

I'm staying corrected it's 240k for the last 2 pages. Slots are 20k still I find this way too high

[tidal reef]

you know i really wish

they were more uses for some stuff in the game

like walker brains and hardframe engines

especially fragmented qualia and liquid sun

like

liquid sun actually being something sounds so cool

like imagine if you could built a literally pool of liquid sun

[gloomy hazel]

would love to see a way to attack enemy freighters with like boarding crews

and you can go in with guns

[granite cosmos]

Another function for building
We got axis rotation but how about axis movement for minor adjustments
Instead of trying to get just the right camera angle

[oblique smelt]

More moving parts for bases.

[unreal dome]

one thing i would like to see is ability to select what location to load into, if i was either on station, in Anomaly, or base/freighter/settlement with teleporter when saved the progress and quit the game. and possible options should be teleporters too.

[obsidian verge]

1. Fixing refiners dupe expoit
   1.1 Fix stuff disappearing from refiners...
2. Introducing automation input/output to from containers/refiners
3. Removing base limit on refiners

[pure bay]

Don't be touching my ways to break the game

[obsidian verge]

might as well fix curious deposits farming 😄

[pure bay]

NO

[obsidian verge]

not gonna lie I enjoyed both but I think it corrupted me 😭

[obsidian verge]

Seriously next update should be about refiners 😄

[pure bay]

I still want a space station base/ settlement thing

[obsidian verge]

Would be cool to start your own space station in unoccupied systems

Here is another one: customizing MTs and Ships:

1. Scraping give u one random part from the ship/mt (yes can we scrap mts?)
2. U then can apply it to your ship/mt ~drum roll~ by paying nanites 😄
3. Also custom paint, perhaps scrapable too, like color scheme part
   Obviously you can put alien parts on the riffle and so on as they are from different categories/types

[raw crescent]

i would love to see varied biomes on planets, if at all possible

or megacities :>

[hoary plinth]

equatorial biomes, temprate biomes, and polar biomes

also for each galaxy to have different sapient species, like, random between six, the three guaranteed for euclid, then three that can randomly replace them for further galaxies, my ideas for the three replacement species are:
-hive like bug peeps, cureous, but also assimalationist and parasitoid, have odd concepts of reincarnation (can replace korvax)
-void like creatures based on the living ships and void plants, emotionally detached from most things on planets and has no problem killing planetborn stuff to supply their own space ecosystem, gorgeous language and dreams (can replace gek)
-living metal lifeforms, almost robotically militaristic, silent for the most part, restricted to few words per sentence, only enough to get the point across (can replace vy'keen)

and you can end up with a galexy that replaces all three, or just one, or mabey two

question is, should the next galexy have a guaranteed replacement of all three base species with the new ones?

also player vs sapient combat, such as frigate boarding, where you fight korvax, vykeem, or gek man on man, multitool vs multitool

and finally for tonight, nonhumanoid sapients, mabey even playable, like crab like bodies, octopoid bodies, or worm like bodies, and mabey nonhumanoid sapient other than the big three to give planets a more unique feel

though i imagen thoes would be rare, VERY rare

and no stations and such, i imagen codeing wise they would have a similar place to travelers except having outpost and ships occasionally

[unreal dome]

the point of all(with several exceptions) playable/interactable characters being humanoids is that you can apply same animations to everyone

[upper scarab]

two of the things I wish they would fix if it's called a paradise planet there should be no storms & should be a chill place. Two if the planet doesn't supposed to have sentinels on it it shouldn't have sentinels on it 🤣

[granite cosmos]

Why can't Vy'Keen wear capes?
It'd make sense for them
Warlords, hunters, clan leaders

Maybe a special hide/fur cape

[hoary plinth]

I was thinking they'd use the same animation as their non sapient counterparts besides adding a grip animation and the emotes

[unreal dome]

i would like to have easier destination target select and more visible indication on where you are going using pulse

like, to which marker

as well as ability to see list of all markers and filter through them

and renaming save beacons too

[pure bay]

Rip established lore

[hoary plinth]

Fair

[pure bay]

I do like the diversity idea, makes no sense the planets in a [Dominant Race here] are the only ones populating planets. When all 3 can be found in The SS

[oblique smelt]

Game needs diversity i general. Im probably repeating myself but game needs more diversity in types of fauna ,flora, biomes, buildings, ship types, ship parts ,color options or ships in general. More mt , more types of buildings to find and more diverse current ones (freighter wrecks ). More capital freighter types, energy gathering tech and sources like wind, wave, geotermal , more moving parts for bases , etc.etc.

[pure bay]

Wind farms do sound nice.

And crashed capital freighters...

[lone lake]

There 100% needs to be some form of industrial refiners where extractors can pipe in a material (say oxygen) it then goes straight into a refiner and gets refined (oxygen->carbon) then it gets stored in the tanks as the new material (carbon)

[hoary plinth]

swords please

[oblique smelt]

You mean production chains. I had that idea like 2 y ago . It would save some time not needing to run between refiners and storage ui constantly

[open wave]

What is this server for? I have a suggestion, If I write it here will anyone give a damn lol? Haha

[hot flame]

This channel is for the community's ideas, if you want to make sure HG see it, you can submit directly to them.

!hg

[misty iris]

You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[open wave]

Thank you, I submitted it there, im gonna submit it here as well curious to hear what people think

Guild system, planetary control/wars

Hi all I’m a pretty new player, but since I found the game I became obsessed with it, playing it non-stop until I got everything I wanted (ships, multi-tool etc.) and I’m starting to get bored in the game and I was I was thinking, what’s preventing the game from having a guild system, with actual planetary control, planetary wars etc.

Wouldn’t it be cool if each player could create or join a guild, conquer galaxies against other guilds, have guild flagships base planets, build a community.

I feel like if the game had this a lot more players would show up and the ones playing now will be less likely to leave as this would give us all an incentive to keep going further especially since we’d also build communities for ourselves.

[gloomy hazel]

We kinda have this but in a more community made way such as the player hubs we have

[pure bay]

I personally play the game as antisocial as possible.

[open wave]

Yes civ spaces as well, but, violence and fighting is key to keeping people engaged. Whats the point if we’re all happy wholesome and nice to each other

[pure bay]

I wouldn't use the guild features

[open wave]

Well you wouldn’t have to haha

[pure bay]

That's.... That's NMS tho

We don't even have much in the ways of PvP.

[open wave]

Ye thats why its ver realistic haha

[open wave]

Well having the option to strive for something once you have the coolest ships etc wouldn’t be bad I think, you wouldn’t have to part-take in this if you didn’t want to

[pure bay]

I guess. But the focal point is Exploration

[gloomy hazel]

Considering it's an exploration sandbox game then I don't think PvP is much needed

Ever

[pure bay]

I already had to discuss gear balancing, and managing griefers

[gloomy hazel]

With it being cross platform and all there will always be major advantages from the pc players with their mods and save editors

[pure bay]

Trolls etc

[open wave]

I feel like most people would be more inclined to explore if there was a bigger purpose, settlements behind it especially considering that after a point all bioms and creatures are similar

[pure bay]

Yeah, you're absolutely right. Many advocate for biome diversity on planets. More shio customization. More creatures, more discoverable races.

[gloomy hazel]

Yes more biomes and creatures would be nice but PvP is not the answer to being bored

[open wave]

Doesn’t necessarily have to be PvP it can be just a competition

[gloomy hazel]

You have multiple other games for that

[open wave]

Whoever has better economy more llayers etc

Nothing like this, on this scale

[gloomy hazel]

This scale being small or large?

[open wave]

Is the nms scale small or large?

[lone lake]

Yeh agreed

[gloomy hazel]

I'm uncertain to what you was getting at with the scale thing

[pure bay]

It depends

Like... The player height is maybe .8m tall

[gloomy hazel]

Truuuuuue

[pure bay]

But the universe is larger than our observable universe

[gloomy hazel]

One galaxy is larger than my house

[open wave]

Which is why you could have all these features without them conflicting

[pure bay]

Yeah, but there are already dedicated communities that do this

[open wave]

Unofficially yes.

[gloomy hazel]

But they kinda do conflict just not in the gameplay sense, you need to keep in mind the specs of people's devices because as good of a game as this is I'm sure many people will agree it's not the most optimized

[pure bay]

Why does it need to be official, if that's isn't the focus of the game?

[gloomy hazel]

Unofficial is better than none right?

[pure bay]

We still get occasional loading issues

[gloomy hazel]

Also the devs acknowledge all the communities and know they exist so why would they change what their playerbase enjoys doing

[open wave]

Ok

[pure bay]

I still like that biome diversity idea

[gloomy hazel]

Biome diversity plus multiple biome planets

[pure bay]

Like, there are different named regions on planets. Why can't they at least LOOK different

[gloomy hazel]

Yeah

If that's an update we got I would still like to see single biome planets but alongside multi-biome planets

[pure bay]

That would be interesting

[unreal dome]

you know what would be cool to see? dynamically generated skyboxes for each system, depending on your position in galaxy.

[pure bay]

How would they look?

[unreal dome]

not much different, but you can look at the random star during night on your base and think "that star looks beatiful! i surely will get to it one day"

meaning it's not just random jpg, but real in-game star you can fly to

you would be right if you'd say that it is pointless in every way imaginable

[pure bay]

All that has me thinking is "if I see a constellation ... And go to the star in the constellation, do I get to name a new one from where I came from?

[urban folio]

This used to be the case before the prisms update. The stars around you were a rough representation of the galaxy map, but when the skybox got updated to show more stars they started faking it.

[toxic slate]

I never heard anyone claim they started faking the skybox, but can't say I paid enough attention to the starfield to tell the difference

[urban folio]

If you go to the edge of the galaxy now there are stars on all sides of the skybox with the same density, before prisims it would be half dark

[toxic slate]

hm interesting. that's disappointing, but I guess if I had to make a choice I'd rather have all the glorious stars

i'm not sure why they would have to fake it though, not like there is a lack of stars in the galaxies

[unreal dome]

oh. there is no way i could know this considering i am rather new player xD

[unreal dome]

i believe there might be performance reasons behind it, but who said you have to render them all again and again each frame, when you can render them all once?

at least planets and moons aren't fake and fully visitable

there's isn't a lot of games with this level of detail and scale

[pure bay]

Until you see a funny system and two planets are merged

[unreal dome]

uhhh what, this can happen?

just, how

either way, i might submit this one to HG: split the list of bases of other players in current system into separate from "other bases" list in teleporter menu and also display at least rough distance to those, in units most applicable for this

[copper dawn]

Also planet or moon can be in a ring of other planet.

[pure bay]

Yeah. Happens occasionally. Just an error in proc gen

Although landing on the planet results is very weird generation. And jumping into the event field of the merge.... Does things

You basically get sent into the phantom plane.

[unreal dome]

can you give portal coordinates please then? i want to see myself

[pure bay]

The one I found was in Galaxy 16.

And even then, I'd have to dig in my list to find it again

[rigid lantern]

FSR 2.1 implementation for pc players

its much better than the current 2.0

[rapid tinsel]

Any footage I would like to see

[pure bay]

I'll see if I can find it in my discoveries tab

[stark ingot]

Ngl I wish the conversations in systems would be different depending on the system's conflict and economy level

[gloomy hazel]

lowest economy and highest conflict systems

Just a bunch of vy’keen wishing death on everyone else

[rigid lantern]

at least double the max upload base limit ( so 6000 base items or more) and at least the max base contruction amount for the people who like to make big or complex bases ( maybe switch and xbox 1 and playstation 4 wont have those changes so the console can still handle bases

base building overhaul in general, bigger base boundaries, much higher base construction and upload limits more customisation in colour etc

yeah the 16000 base objects per save is really really frustrating

[gloomy hazel]

yessss

me and a group are tryna make a base that encompassses a full moon and with current nms its not possible

[rigid lantern]

yes that needs to be possible

[gloomy hazel]

wanna join the project

we can cover about half a small moon

[rigid lantern]

i have reached my max construction limit sadly, but if they update it hell yeah

[gloomy hazel]

you could deconstruct all your stuff and move it all to our moon if u wanted to

or maybe just work as a backer supplying us stuff

[rigid lantern]

i couuuld

[rigid lantern]

that works!

[gloomy hazel]

bet

[sly abyss]

It is not worth it. I just narrowly escaped from the space between the spaces.

I can't warp or teleport out of the glitched system

Force quitting the game and reloading it fixed the problem

[ember lichen]

can we please get the ability to rename planets? it'd be a really nice feature to have!

[keen valve]

@ember lichen you can??

[ember lichen]

you can only rename them once iirc?

[keen valve]

Ahh gotcha

[ember lichen]

yeye

[gloomy hazel]

Let people transfer units for gods sake it’s such a. Pain to just buy exspensive crap and transfer it for them to sell

[wicked tiger]

Anyone else think there should be furniture that you can sit in, that would add a cool RP aspect to those of us who like to find random planets to relax in? I love finding a random lookout over a cliff with a view and make a small chill shack to vibe in.

like chairs you can sit in valhiem style would be cool imo

[toxic slate]

I mean... you can sit on buildable chairs already?

[pure bay]

I found it!

[pastel minnow]

I wish they brough back first person exit and enter animations, they're pretty immersive compared to what we have now, just cut to black

[oblique smelt]

More corupted sentinel enemy types. Corupted robo dogs, walkers, ships , corupted sentinel freighter

[brazen nova]

I want to be able to lay in a bed.

[gloomy hazel]

I want to be able to drill to the core of planets where i can build harvesters to collect the core resources

Petition for Apollo to be meetable in one of the galaxy’s (idk if he is or not the wiki is 5 years outdated)

[chilly valley]

I love that idea

Or like a planet eating ship that harvest a ton of resources from it

[gloomy hazel]

Yeah tho I don’t think anything that can actually destroy a planet will be added sadly

[chilly valley]

Yea unfortunately.

A better freighter combat system would also be pretty cool

[gloomy hazel]

Yeah

[chilly valley]

What if they make it so u cant do it to planets with has bases on it and instead if destroying it they add a new planet type called a harvested planet that is devoid of life and most resources?

[gloomy hazel]

Ooh I like that

[chilly valley]

Obv the ship would be an extemly hard to obtain item though cause it would be kinda op

[gloomy hazel]

Well duh

Maybe it would be a living ship attachment

Cause that’s currently the hardest ship to get

[chilly valley]

I woouldnt put it on a basic ship cause people would dupe it and it would just stop being rare

Id make it like an item that u had to build almost like a exocraft

[unreal dome]

opinion: base should do a beep once it goes back online after power outage

like irl A/C units do, for example

[pure bay]

There is a lore reason explaining this one.

[pure bay]

Sent in media channel

[hoary plinth]

Maybe more varied exotic planet life forms? I'm tired of every bubble planet having the same blood bubbles, or bone planets with just bone diggers, mabey for bubbles planets there can be hopping froth puddles and bubbles with bubbles inside, or skeleton like life on bone worlds, thoes squishy pink blobs on shell worlds, exc

I just want a reason to land on every new exotic planet I encountered

On the same note, meat planets exotics filled with parasites?

[unreal dome]

opinion: items obtained via creative mode should have "creative mode" tag, stuff cheated via dupes or save editing (maybe except for "broken" rates) - "cheated" tag. those items, multitools, starships and freighters should have lower price than legit ones, but not zero

also proper player trading system should be introduced

so players can safely exchange items, mts, starships, freighters

[unreal dome]

this would discourage cheating and giving cheated items away in huge amounts

[pure bay]

Player to player trading would always be inflated

That, and how would you track it?

[unreal dome]

save editing could be tracked by keeping save copy and hash somewhere out of player's reach, but still giving player ability and freedom to edit the save

if discrepancy is found - anything cheated is marked as cheated

[pure bay]

Yeah, but it doesn't stop duping

[unreal dome]

depends on dupe type

[pure bay]

It's the one consoles use. Abuses the auto save functions

[unreal dome]

never heard of that one, huh

mainly because i'm a pc player

[pure bay]

I play console. It's archaic compared to what PC uses. But yeah it's still there

[unreal dome]

i guess it still can be tracked somehow with similar means?

[pure bay]

It would be hard. Essentially, you need a copy. That is usually gotten through legit means

Then you can dupe with that one

[unreal dome]

whole point of this anti-cheating thing is to mark cheated only items

but not to affect legit ones

[pure bay]

Right.

The dupe uses a legit one to make copies or "cheated ones"

Separating what's legit and what isn't from a dupe is pretty hard. Since it abuses saves and inventory saves

I can send a video of how it works using the personal refiner

[unreal dome]

does it dupe whole stack creating new one?

or whole inventory, creating copy of existing stacks?

[pure bay]

It used to

Before the save rework. You could essentially dupe an entire Collosus inventory of stacks

As long as the stacks more or less match the max stack in the exosuit

[pure bay]

If the stack fits in the inventory, then yes. It can

[rapid tinsel]

Don’t you just put item into portable refiner and stack them right on top then break them all and you have multiple

[sturdy bramble]

I kinda want new, more freighter to freighter oriented frieghters.

[rapid widget]

good point

or maybe an update that allows freighters to remotely mine from planets

its kind of Op, but imagine automining

[pale island]

I would love to see expanded increased storage in the backpack, that you have to pay to double with the costs increasing for each slot doubled.

How about an expedition to find the sentinel home world with lots of battles, and another the cooking challenge

How about unlimited objects in base building , and the ability to build in your settlement like you would your regular base

[zenith marten]

is 120 slots not enough? We already have to scroll for quite a distance to reach the bottom slots 😅

[unreal dome]

this would be great

what about ability to list all the charted/visited/saved locations/bases and filter trough that list, and flexibly control all the the markers you see?

this would prevent marker clutter as well as make life of those with LOTS of save markers, and those who "i recall i saw that location there earlier but i forgot where it was"

win-win for everyone

[somber lantern]

You know what I've wanted in nms for a really long time? Modular suit AI voices. Ala, Titanfall 1. I mean the regular suit AI is fine if not more than a little monotonous, but there is so much room for innovation there.

Or even better, the ability to add custom files in a designated folder. You want to hear Dr.Robotnik to yell PINGAS whenever you take critical damage? Just pop Pingas.wav into your custom sounds folder.

You could download community made sound packs for your game. Or commission voice actors to make one.

[pale zealot]

If the next update is only focused on VR (wich it looks like it might be) then I will die happy

[rancid sky]

Yeah an overhaul for psvr2 will be awesome

[visual cloak]

i got a little bit of enjoyment out of NMS on psvr, but for a game with such far distances and vistas, resolution was lacking. I'm looking forward to trying NMS with little to no screen-door effect, much higher resolution, better colors and with controllers that aren't sticks with glow balls on the ends

though i would rather jump back in with VR after a large planetary variation/water/flora fauna update hits

[somber lantern]

I haven't played nms VR in quite some time, but of it is I will certainly be hopping on!

[hoary plinth]

Centipede/millipede aliens

[idle moon]

orbital bases would be pretty cool, i wanna make my own cloud city

[main hound]

You can already make orbital bases kinda

Like go into the upper atmosphere

[idle moon]

Yeah but it's not really officially supported, I'm thinking specialized structures and more capabilities

[hoary plinth]

Plants having the same randomization as animals, different stems, different branches, and different leaves

[pure bay]

Some causal reminders: people on console cannot add .wav files

[sturdy bramble]

late game feature?

[rapid widget]

ig yes

like automining, or autoharvesting

[hoary plinth]

Void armor themed after the void plants and eggs

Mabey a void race? Hopefully insectoid somewhat

[pure bay]

More armors in general. Like the rest of the traveller armor, Apollo armor, and absolutely "fleshy" armor

[hoary plinth]

Hell yes!

[little ridge]

we need something that is halo spartan themed

[vast hazel]

We should get an update where we can build ships

And multitools

[pure bay]

That's gonna be a copyright thing if it happens

[little ridge]

nah not like directly just something that looks a lil like one

[little ridge]

YES
I HAVE WANTED THIS FOREVER

[vast hazel]

I know right

[pure bay]

It would still spark copyright stuff

[nocturne kraken]

More armor/ cosmetics would rule

[little ridge]

like imagine if they added something where you could add wings and new engines and you had to think about weight and you could mod top speed with better engines, ofc there still be the tech parts but like these would allow you to add functionality and make every starship you wanted your own, have the scrap feature in your freighter (only in like s class or something to make it late game) to keep certian parts that you want and sell the other that you dont , if the devs see this i can guarentee that most of the community wants this, obviously u cant get like living or exotic ship parts you still have to find those the normal way because that just ruins the point of it, and solar sails would have to be suuuper expensive but still the next update just being that would be the coolest thing ever, and maybe something like this with the exocrafts as well

[pure bay]

Might be a bit too in depth for NMS sadly

[novel halo]

Empty galaxies should have much more uncharted systems rather than inhabited.

[gray brook]

I agree

I think the galaxies should have a bit more that makes them really them

[forest jacinth]

frigite tech upgrades!

[tough shadow]

suggestion : sidethrusters on backpack to boost left or right . auto arrange button for inventory . be able to place stickers and decals on starships or even on multitools and armor ( preferably with free and not locked placement on each part ) .

[harsh herald]

Two freighter improvements I would love to see are the ability to use your freighter teleporter to travel to the space station upon first contact with a star system and the ability to repaint the hangar component of your freighter.

[pure bay]

These are technically freight upgrades too. Some change expedition stats and costs

[upper scarab]

I would love to make my own ships & multi-tools the way I would want to see it look & customize it uniquely. Also I agree I would love to have more armor in the game and we could replace parts and maybe make our own parts from parts on planets or just finding things from resources. I don't know I'm just spitballing we could also do that with ships, multi-tools and armor, so that way we can make our own ships, multi-tools and armor uniquely ours.

I would also love to see more variations on the planets. like some of the things we've seen in the lore have some planets like that.

I hope at some point we can come across mysterious cities and stuff. Cities & temples underneath the ground.

The one thing I really do love is expeditions ❤️

Maybe have mini expeditions on the weekends sometimes 👍 that can take a few hours or so. That would give us more lore that would give us ways to craft more armor, ship parts, multi-tools parts, and other things for a freighters too. are things that are limited that you can only get on the weekend that are very rare. To make them more valuable. like the golden glider that we got in the first expedition that is my favorite ship . Then send as to a point in the history back in time Of things that went on. Like I said I'm just throwing things out there. 👍

[obsidian verge]

Make SC slots positions visible so I don't spend all units and nanites in the world upgrading garbage...

[forest jacinth]

What do you mean do you mean there?

[pure bay]

That there are freighter upgrades that affect the frigates.

[grim hemlock]

What if, to prepare for the PS VR 2 Port coming soon, the next update was about making the game more immersive and realistic. I mean it would make sense and if they made it more immersive for ps vr 2 then pc/console would feel more realistic too. And by doing this it would probably be filled with a lot of quality of life improvements

[turbid fossil]

Uh yeah. And you do that how?

Like whats the actual changes

[digital mason]

Perhaps adding a little bit more of ground combat, more than sentinels, perhaps some pirates.

But idk if HG would like to give us the chance to shoot Geks, Vykeen or Korvax pirates on ground.

Or raiders.

[grim hemlock]

Yeah or like more diverse space combat, water biome revamp, or being able to fly to the sun just because

[amber pelican]

on the topic of ground combat tho, they really need to give laylaps a permanently blue light or something bc ive almost shot him multiple times on hostile sentinel worlds lmao

especially with those color filter worlds lol

[olive barn]

I can't remember if I posted this here in the past or not, BUT. The abandoned space stations, let us take one over, and have it be like a settlement, but a space station, instead

[pastel minnow]

That's a common request I see

I'd like that too if space stations were overhauled and made more lively too

More varied too

[pure bay]

YES

I remember that suggestion, because I took typed that!

[digital mason]

Or perhaps those cargo ships that were abandoned, you could claim them and pay Units to repair it.

Decide between tech, cargo space, and repair the cargo ship to replace it with your current one.

[pure bay]

Those things are all rectangles tho

[digital mason]

Different kinds of ships could be added later on I guess.

[pure bay]

That would be neat

Like a derelict dreadnought

[polar tendon]

Imagine decorating your own space station and having stairs and floors

People would go wild

[olive barn]

yaaa

[harsh herald]

It would be fun to have stat tracking on multi tools and ships, etc.

[static canopy]

I think pre made planets would be awesome

Like a replica of earth made specifically from the creators

And other ones like Star Wars planets or the planet from avatar

[rigid ridge]

there is alomost a replica of earth

idk

[kindred otter]

how about actual cities with people and stuff instead of really small out posts and maybe city planets

[torn fractal]

Good luck getting a stable framerate with that

[ocean wraith]

Hive city's from warhammer40k

[hoary plinth]

more head options for each traveller head? we only get like, three options per head, and it shows in gameplay there is more options per head, just like how it is with vy'keen and gek heads

[pastel minnow]

I'd be fine with settlements instead of cities, but I don't understand why the buildings are so randomly plopped around instead of something coherent. Or why there's tall grass all over the settlement instead of being stomped out

Another thing that bugs me is when you're fighting sentinels in settlements, you randomly holster your weapon if you accidentally point your crosshair at a citizen for even a fraction of a second.. and there's like a cooldown for when you can take your multitool out again

[amber pelican]

Also they don’t allow the terrain manipulator in settlements which sucks bc the sentinels still have grenades

I have a few holes from when I learned that the hard way lol

[chrome patio]

maybe more crossover expeditions?

idk

[granite cosmos]

General, non-expedition crossovers
I dislike expeditions a lot
Maybe for limited time you can find items from other games in your normal saves in the world

[turbid fossil]

I am once again asking for twoseaters

:P

[violet vortex]

For starship? Exocraft? All of the above?

[turbid fossil]

Starship. Exo would be interesting, but just imagine how amazing it would be to be able to properly taxi someone with a twoseater

[mild laurel]

Two seater bathrooms?

[turbid fossil]

Meet at anomaly, have them enter behind you, warp to the system, drop them off mid-flight if feeling cool or just land and let them exit and walk away

Instead of haha I rip a hole into space and time and appear in your system

[pure bay]

I would put my companion in that seat (if they small enough) before any travellers

[soft garden]

I think someone saw The Mandalorian Season 3 trailer and wants to re-enact it.

[pure bay]

Jokes on you. I Havent seen s1

[turbid fossil]

You can also do that but the point is for travellers

[upper scarab]

We could take it over and rebuild it up to turn it into a big space station and put upgrades and stuff into it. To make it fully functional again.

[gray brook]

That would be dope

But how do we remove all the biological horror stuff

[turbid fossil]

If in question, shoot it

[main hound]

Kill them all and let God sort them out

[gloomy hazel]

I wouldn't mind a grogu fellow inside my starship

[chilly osprey]

I hope we get the option to make bases in space sometime soon

[main hound]

Maybe not, it's no man's sky after all

[sturdy bramble]

it would be nice if we could be able different freighter weapon types instead of just phase beam and photon cannon being randomized for each freighter.

[pastel minnow]

Wait wha? Freighter weapons?

[compact wadi]

freighters

[chilly osprey]

Freighters don't count

[gilded lance]

Like a space station?

[bold fable]

Yeah I wish there was an actual way to do that

[olive sage]

I wish you could fly your freighter next to other's then blow them up from some kinda freighter- battlement-thing or have your freighter attacked by other freighters in outlaw systems, or maybe even be able to fly frigates as if they were your ship and blow pirates up that way

I just want bigger shooty things

Space stations would be cool

Frigate battles would be cooler

[novel root]

I kinda like the idea of being able to have your freighter fire at specific spots on planets on command, kinda like an airstrike for battles

[gilded lance]

I would love to see orbital bombardment in the future.. freighter blasting the ground from space would be amazing to see 😁

[digital mason]

And what will you use that against?

Aggressive flora?

[gloomy hazel]

yes, nuke the aggressive flora

[balmy cove]

We need 2 level high(or more) rooms in the freighters and more decorations for them and the ability to drop down from the freighter in the minotaur

[digital mason]

Okay, that I like.

[gloomy hazel]

You can actually do the Minotaur thing

[balmy cove]

what

how

[gloomy hazel]

It requires glitch building but isn't impossible

[balmy cove]

oh

[gloomy hazel]

I'll try find the yt vid

[balmy cove]

make it a default feature

[gloomy hazel]

https://youtu.be/iED9NN-KpoY

Here's the video. It's really easy to do so might as well be a default feature

[grim hemlock]

2 words

Planet collisions

Stupid

[main hound]

Technically it already exists

[grim hemlock]

And probably near impossible to add

But hey

If they could port it to hardware barly more powerful then a ps3 (switch) I don’t see what they can’t do

[grim hemlock]

Yeah but that’s just a buggy graphical mess

I wanna see explosions

[grim hemlock]

PVP Update

Along side psvr 2

[pale zealot]

Or just remove the disability to place it without cache, just pin and place

What I want is a really good VR body and all the VR bugs fixed, except photo mode because photo mode bugs are funny

[unkempt narwhal]

Even I'm trya explore planets and forgot the sentinel level is extreme

That would be very helpful even when running back to my ship

[digital mason]

You can easily evade them by digging a hole or a tunnel.

[unkempt narwhal]

Ik but I was on a hunt for some new companions so I can make a goofy baby one

[grim hemlock]

February 22ndddd

[lean lodge]

Y’all should make the largest sentinel freighters where you can actually explore more of the interior. You have all that space, but you can’t get into any of it.

Also, large sentinel or destroyer freighters should have a much larger hangar bay, or where you can fit more starships in there, with the organization much like what you’d see in Star Wars resistance ships and not.. Yknow.. limited like the game is now. The game should allow up to six extra ships in squadrons with choices of set flight patterns, and possibly if a larger hangar bay is an option, it would be cool to see your squadrons landed inside. You could probably make it where you can upgrade your squadron ships however you want as well! should also be allowed to have multiple squadrons to switch between if you like going with different styles, and allow multiple of the same ship in a squadron for if you want a genuine same-model set. (Summoning multiple squadrons (up to 3) would be a great asset if it were possible to also instruct the squadrons to attack what you want and not just enemies.

The game should have it where you can upgrade the number of ships you can own, as well as organize them in personal categories.

As i believe I’ve mentioned before, adding a buildable hangar bay and bay expansion room set for bases would be a great asset over those tacky landing pads. If you want starships indoors, you’d have to quite literally glitch the game, which is impossible. Lol

Yes it’s a lot but this could’ve been done a looong time ago instead of like.. the Minotaur n small stuff like that. Hopefully devs read this and take some of these into account for development

[pastel minnow]

Sentinel, outlaws, endurance and waypoint focused on improving and expanding areas in the game that we visit a lot; fights, freighters, space itself..
I hope HG continues this trend and heavily expands on space stations. We visit them so often but they're nowhere near as lively as you'd expect them to be.

[lean lodge]

A space station should be constantly busy, and much bigger on the inside

[pastel minnow]

Much wider landing tracks so ships don't clip into everything, freighter-like short ranged teleporters to go between both sides, pilots actually going up to the market places to interact with stuff and others.. aliens also using the teleporter to enter and leave the place so you don't feel like they're permanently there etc..

Also QoL improvements like switching your ship in the space station and being able to scrap your multitool

Oh and give the station override chip an actual purpose lol

[lean lodge]

Or maybe custom build your own starship (for a large price)

[lean lodge]

Hangar bays that you can combine and customize like freighter rooms for PLANETARY bases is a big thing I’d love to see. Landing pads are honestly completely useless since in reality, if someone was to attack your base, your starships would be completely exposed to destruction. There’s a reason why in Star Wars films, there’s almost always hangars or foliage cover.

[lean lodge]

Honestly this and anti-aircraft turrets would be great as part of like- a base defense update? And would be fun if your squadron could land with some of the extra pads/hangars.

[toxic slate]

I wish space stations were a lot more procedurally varied on the inside. Right now it's just such a boring experience to see almost the same layout on every station. It's hard to get immersed in being a trader visiting stations across the galaxy when they all look copy-pasted

[wintry siren]

I agree with this. If Pirates can repurpose stations, it would be cool to see stations generated in the themes of the various races as well.

Shops can be placed in random slots rather than all be the same layout.

Maybe some randomized furniture, etc.

[toxic slate]

yeah, I mean they obviously have the procedural building tech in a good place now, and there's certainly no lack of space inside those huge stations... I'd love to see corridors and rooms that I can explore, Star Wars cantina style bars, NPCs that I can find out local lore from, establish trading partnerships, etc. the stations are used in the most boring way right now but they could feel much more organic and thriving

[spare tangle]

Any news on a potential new update?

[violet vortex]

No news yet. But we can assume some form of update shall come soon, even if just the update for VR2.

[hushed bobcat]

The trend has always been platform release + major update so hopefully we get something nice to start off the year

[torn fractal]

Image requests have been made which suggests an update won't be long

[olive sage]

I'd love to see freighters fighting freighters, like your freighter can engage enemy frigates or freighters and you can move it without warping but then again, I am a freighter fanatic

[wind gale]

I like the trend of more open world space and planet exploration games in the coming years : starfield , ubisoft's star wars game and cough BGE2 cough .

[gloomy hazel]

On Reddit I saw something from 2015 saying this ‘the developer of no man’s sky states that the ps5 version of the game will have 565 Billion Multiverses And Your Goal Is Too Reach the center of the Omniverse

[wind moat]

I want to see smaller ships with interiors, living spaces etc. i know it’s a big ask but having that and a better multiplayer experience would be amazing

Would be nice to be able to walk around on ships

[olive sage]

I think frigates' interiors would be cool, I mean not just for repairs I also think dropships/ multiplayer ships with interiors would bring less of a "solitary" feel because it feels like a single player game even when you have people in-game with you.

[hot flame]

Amazing you saw something from 2015 about the ps5 release of NMS

With random numbers too, sounds like you saw a meme, a false post, or are making stuff up

[violet vortex]

See comment above

Let's refrain from shitposting and memery per the channel's pinned rules.

[grim hemlock]

Wow

[wind moat]

I think that would be so cool, I feel like as good as this game is, it has so much more untapped potential. I hope the Devs continue to build upon it and add more, hell I don’t even mind if they charge for the next big update provided it’s good quality content.

[torn hinge]

Oh yeah frigate / freighter battle would be cool. Also boarding the sentinel dread ship to disable it.

[lime canyon]

I think we will have maybe a new update soon, the last was in october if i remember 🤔🤔

[violet vortex]

[pastel minnow]

4.1 update with VR2 this month, Sean please uwu

[boreal ibex]

Yeah, being able to manually fly a freighter would be cool

[olive sage]

I agree

[dire shoal]

i would honestly love if they made the minotaur in space glitch an intentional feature and you could use it to travel asteroid fields

like spacewalks and that to repair your freighter, or making deep space bases

really just make more out of deep space really

[unreal dome]

creative mode could get a few more tools and additions like mt/ss/freighter/frigate creator

[gloomy hazel]

i don't think anyone will agree with me, but it would be awesome if we could change what version of the game we play in, i'd love to go back to Beyond and that era for playthrough

[vagrant jasper]

Last official update is October last content update is July lmao

[cloud solstice]

I'd want an update that expands the derelict freighter dungeons and brings them to the planet's surfaces.

And allow us to fight pirates on the ground and gunfights in spaceships.

[unreal dome]

would be cool if bodies of water got a rework to introduce rivers and oceans/lakes of varying depths and danger levels

[mild dawn]

Please release the Pirate titles from Outlaw systems.

https://www.reddit.com/r/no_mans_sky/comments/110q1dr/avast_hoist_the_black_sails/

[gloomy hazel]

Buying extra freighters to have in your fleet like the system fleets would be cool

[rich jacinth]

How about some expeds that take you back in those times lmao

Just a small nostalgia trip into the past versions while trying to finish objectives

[gloomy hazel]

Not a bad idea

[gloomy hazel]

Then add the ability for our fleets to engage in space battles with NPC or other player fleets, put those freighter guns to good use

[shell wraith]

It would be pretty cool if you could make decisions on settlements that change their product output. You have to invest a good deal of time into making a random one profitable to even figure out what it produces, and by then it's so much that you'd rather not have to start it over

[toxic slate]

Would be nice if freighter battles actually mattered, both good and bad consequences. and please some capital ship to ship battles like BSG

[vast wave]

For freighter battles I would propose a new system

Where space rescue events are much more common, but result in system freighter models

And for capitals you need to use Conflict Scanner to pick up distress calls from other systems

[toxic slate]

Well I'd like to see pirates or "factions" attacking your capital ship for reasons, and allow players to invest in defensive and offensive capabilities they can add to the freighter. also recruiting NPC crew to enhance the ship's performance based on their stats in different areas. But I think battles without consequence and reason is kind of dull, so I think they should revamp Factions to be more of their original idea of gangs that have territory throughout the galaxy that can shift over time, and players can have their own Faction

[pastel minnow]

I'd also like if pirate attacks on planets weren't just for show.
Like they could actually ruin outposts if you let them.
And then the people who live there could go on a mining trip to get resources to repair the ruined outpost (cause everything has to reset, this at least provides context)

[elfin jungle]

Storage box that other players can access the inventory when player adds or gives access, I’ve always wanted a way to give items to people outside of my own timezone I otherwise wouldn’t get a chance to be on at same time.

[long zenith]

Putting in my ticket for Abyss 2: Electric Boogaloo. I want to tame sharks and pointy fish. You would "ride" them by summoning them in water, then grab on to a fin or such, and they would provide a swimspeed boost, water mounts effectively. I want to be able to build an alien aquarium then go zipping around for treasure. My second suggestion is perhaps are more far out there and bizarre: A way to let companions roam around a player base even when the owner isn't present. It could be as simple as a hologram or constructing a tether/pillar that allows the companion to roam in a predefined space. I imagine that would be a lot more difficult to code but it would be cool. If you require a visualization, the inspiration is from modded Starbound (might be in vanilla?), which has "pet tethers" that allow captured pets to wander around in a small space around a player's constructed base.

[gloomy hazel]

warframe has a feature like this where your companion can just roam the boundaries of your spaceship, definitely would like this

[long zenith]

Yeah, it would be nice. I love my pets, want to show them off too haha.

[crimson atlas]

Personally, I'd want an expansion on the main story. ||Never done it personally, but seen it/watched walkthroughs/etc and always been disappointed in how anti-climactic it is... it seems almost predictable, even with drip-fed storyline hints.||
Also... expand the Multiplayer! Sure, having 4 people warp their fleets in at once is epic AF, but I'd love more MMORPG elements that, for example, allow us to see bases of people that aren't even in my party etc (or at least the option to see everyone else's bases other than those in my squadron).
I might not be able to interact with them unless invited (as per the settings), but damn would it make the world feel more alive!
Imagine building a base, then realising another actual player lives not far from you! You might not be able to interact unless invited, but the possibilities! The planets in this game are still big enough for that to happen too!

Also, apart from frigate missions, what else can I use my fleet for? Not a lot by the looks of it, unless it's a mobile base. I want wars, Sentinel escalations, full-blown Fleet engagements!

[wind gale]

I want low atmosphere ship cargo transport missions between settlements/minor settlements in planets (pulse drive disabled during missions)

[daring turret]

I think attacking and killing space stations would be cool or something

😄

[crimson atlas]

Sharks with Underwater Propulsion packs and "frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!"

[dense widget]

Visionary

[dusk yew]

space battles

[dusk yew]

correct.

[vital bane]

Option to show galaxy name and username in photomode next to the glyphs would be a good.

[cloud solstice]

I would like to see pirates get expanded on; have them more than just starship pilots, have them on foot, in bases planetside, and have us take the fight to their spacecrafts, too. Boarding actions In frigates, freighters, and space stations.

[gloomy hazel]

An option to start a new save alongside friends, at the same location. Perhaps an emphasis on co-op (or, even linked iterations)

[dire shoal]

expand on deep space. have an exocraft made for asteroid exploration, and the ability to make various types of bases in space, with airlocks and everything

[gloomy hazel]

You can see other peoples bases if they are uploaded to the network

[raw crescent]

would love to see the “snap to grid” feature worked on

currently you have to aim slightly away from the place you want to snap a piece to

and the fact that it goes through walls…

[glad onyx]

Inventory search ffs

Make sure to submit your suggestions to HG as well, guys & gals

[static ridge]

I'd like to see the outlaw NPC titles made available to us as seen in the outlaw stations

[cloud solstice]

How about allowing us to grow food plants like aloe, fireberry, and pulpy root plants in planters.

[dire shoal]

allow for takeover of space stations from sentonrl/outlaw forces. make it a reallllllly difficult fight, but reward is that you can either permanently remove sentinels from all planets or convert an outlaw system to a normal one

also allow colonisation of dead planets, where you start off with a tiny habitable area and grow it into a lush paradise

[floral fox]

I always see a planet with a plant or flower that I would like to have in my base, so it would be nice to be able to get the seed of the tree or plant that you want and plant it in your base, planet, or where you want

[raw crescent]

there are filters

[oblique smelt]

Multitool storage container or rack

[cold lion]

I would add biomechanical models for the exosuit to the game

and logical elements (OR; NOT; IF)

[dense widget]

A planet or system search would be helpful.

[vast wave]

You can use the Catalogue and Guide tab to have the game pinpoint planetary resources for you

You can select a system in Discovery screen list to put a waypoint on it and have the game calculate a path to it in galaxy map

[toxic slate]

Five days until HG supposedly releases their next update (PSVR2 + ?) and Sean is eerily silent. No emoji, no Steam builds, .... what's going on

[severe magnet]

i would like an actual map of the planets we explore so we can set navigation waypoints for say, a body of water on the opposite hemisphere, or map markers to return to discovered settlements like trading posts

[elfin jungle]

You can place a marker down with analysis visor

I’m not sure if they stick per planet tho

[soft garden]

You can drop a base computer,.

[severe magnet]

the problems wjth those are, limited range for visor marker, limited amount of bases you can have total on console (switch for me)

having a planetary map with QoL features would be good i feel

[severe magnet]

oh yes, console QoL: please normal menu controls and not the cursor...possibly allow controller remapping as well

[soft garden]

With a 400+ base amount and the ability to pick them up and delete them again, I thought I'd offer a temporary fix.

[spice ore]

For a future update, I want there to be a room in your freighter that you can see all your companions, like a terrarium, but for your pets. You can see all your ships on your freighter so it would make sense to see all your pets.

[severe magnet]

400+
not on the switch lmao

[wind moat]

I want to walk in my ships, they could make some new ships with interiors that would be cool. Also multiplayer is needed for the switch version

[empty jetty]

Not a deal breaker, but actually being able to separately name your character customization presets would be nice for roleplay purposes. And keep those separate from the console account name. (The name defaulting to Nintendo account name with no way to change it lowkey really annoys me).

[bleak knoll]

I'm hoping for like multi-biome planets. Like parts on the north will be polar, and areas near the equator will be hot or tropical. And stuff like deserts, jungles, mountains, and forests. I want a planetary environment overhaul

[tidal pier]

I'm hoping we can build space stations or builds in space. I also hope we get gas giants

[restive zenith]

Maybe with some kind of atmospheric fauna like in Carl Sagan’s cosmos

[brazen nova]

I want snow to make crunch noises, like irl

[icy onyx]

There is already a player title.

[hushed bobcat]

This update is 100% diversity, it has to be

[oblique smelt]

❄️ emoji maybe means jumping to snowdrop engine?

[empty jetty]

On Switch the player title is the same as the Nintendo account ID with no option to pick a different name.

[wind moat]

I got that same problem on the deck

Also they need to add multiplayer to switch. It’s basically a half assed game at the moment missing key features.

[empty jetty]

I wouldn't say half assed, I have 200+ hours on mine. But it does feel incomplete.

I'm glad they let us get expeditions, that went a long way to feeling less isolated from the community.

[chrome schooner]

Probably something that must be very cool in VR

since it launches with VR 2

[visual cloak]

personally wouldn’t care to jump back into vr on the new headset unless there was something major changed to planet generation

[visual cloak]

👏 👏

[hot flame]

Yuck

You want a bunch of earths?

I'll pass

More Exotic biomes

[visual cloak]

pls no more earths

[oblique smelt]

More biomes please. Every planet biome unique like ❄️

[visual cloak]

adds new snowflake cape

[hushed bobcat]

Imagine this is just a snow planet expedition and that's it 🥲

[visual cloak]

you might be onto something

[chrome schooner]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR5Ipy-sgfQ

[tawdry dock]

Finally adding Frosty as a playable race. Snow Man's Sky is a reality.

[hushed bobcat]

What if the snowflake just means connecting a lot of platforms together

That would be disappointing

[tawdry dock]

I'm really hoping for an exploration update.. A reason to stay and explore planets, etc

[hushed bobcat]

Yeah, a reason to actually stay on planets would make NMS my most played game probably

Currently i barely ever land, i just buy everything i need from space stations

[tawdry dock]

I usually land, look at the planet if it's cool, check out the types of creatures (fairly limited in what you'll see in any given system), and take off

If it's really interesting I'll build a small base with a teleporter so I can come back some day

[turbid stump]

I want more flora variety

[oblique smelt]

More diversity in general. Flora,fauna,biomes,mt, ships, buildings, freighters etc.

[knotty mesa]

temperature regions on planets would be cool. Otherwise maybe its referring to better weather. in both cases this could be a more in depth atmosphere / orbit system maybe (probably not). Otherwise it might be more variety as others have said.

[kindred otter]

Could nms run on quest 3 because it should have I think 8 - 12 gb of ram so it should be able to run on low settings and have it dlss? I can't remember if the switch has 4 or 8 gb but if it is 4gb it should be able to run at 30 - 50 frames on the next quest

[fading mural]

Do we have any datamines or solid theories on what this next update will be? I mean we just had a large update back in November so this can't be to large right?

[brazen nova]

Exotic biomes with snow?

Ice skating!

[brazen nova]

Maybe not all planets

Hmmm. Snowflakes have a crystalline structure. What if the update has to do with crystals?

[unique radish]

“We roam the still, cold world. No end in sight.”

[brazen nova]

Is that from the Dreams of the Deep quest? I vaguely remember this.

[raw crescent]

really wish you could give orders to your minotaur; like stay, follow, scout, etc.

[brittle olive]

Mm, I really wish they would fix freighters and let you upgrade them. Spamming to get a particular freighter at S, burnt me right out of wanting to play and I haven't loaded back in for months now. You shouldn't have to cheat/cheese to achieve a reasonable chance of success in any component of the game within a reasonable amount of time. Especially for a component that isn't just cosmetic and provides bonuses for income and items at higher classes. Upgrading the freighter at a later time requires you to repeat the process of upgrading it, deleting your progress with the previous freighter for the sake of doing it again. 3 hrs on a 2 minute cycle of jumping to a system, docking, checking the ship, and then reloading the game is the expectation + each event being independent probabilities that might make it longer + relying that nothing will glitch in those 3 hours... Simply isn't fun and shouldn't be a thing in the game.

[manic fractal]

Accepted an "A" nobody got time for all that 😁

[dense widget]

Hoping for a more stable platform on the switch.

[left blade]

I found an S class capitol freighter once but I had no money to buy it with, since I spent it all on ship inventory upgrades. I haven’t gotten over it to this day

[manic fractal]

Oof

[grim isle]

Hey, is there a supposed release date (or something similar idk) of the snowflake update thing? I don't know if they tease an update does it mean that it's near to release?

[hollow kernel]

Please let me upgrade my exocraft inventory 😭😭😭

[copper dawn]

I think that at this Wednesday is supposed to be released the PSVR2 version of the game. And they will probably release some update along it too. Like in case of the VR and Nintendo Switch release.

But it can also be just new expedition.

[grim isle]

Aight, I know its not sure but at least it's something

[hushed bobcat]

last time we were supposed to get an overhaul to the procgen it ended up being the leviathan expedition

hope the update doesn't disappoint this time

[grim isle]

I mean there wasn't an update for like 3 months so I hope it's something good too

I recently had an urge to get back NMS but I just have nothing to do on my full save

[hushed bobcat]

i was tempted to start a new one but as is the game is just too boring to play again given i know everything about it, i just wish the game wasn't this straight forward at times

like there's barely any variation to playtroughs

[dense widget]

Just out of curiosity ... the only thing i've seen definitive would be support VR2 support for the sony console I think

Would anyone on here use those VR googles to play NMS?

[grim isle]

I know right, its the same feeling with Astroneer idk if you played it. I just wish you could erase your memory and experience everything all over again...

[hushed bobcat]

actually reached 100 hours on it recently

tried playing it again but it gets boring quickly after you've finished it, it's only fun with friends

me and the only guy that played it with me had an argument and haven't been talking in a year so i don't really have a reason to play it

[grim isle]

I've recently 100%'d it and finished the new update to the story (which wrapped the game up pretty much so I doubt there'd be new story updates) so theres nothing to do there either

[grim isle]

Yes, but only for 1 playthrough...

Which don't get me wrong was still fun and I believe I got my money's worth but it's a bit sad or idk

(Btw are we allowed to have off topic conversations like these here? Since this is a future content related channel)

[hushed bobcat]

oh yeah didn't notice this was a nms channel lmao

[grim isle]

Yeah I don't know how strict the rules are for each channel (topic-wise) so idk if its wise to continue this lol

I was present on the server for some time now but I didn't chat till now sooo

[hushed bobcat]

i just appear here every time an update is about to release

[grim isle]

Btw I'm fine with a new expedition too

At least there is something to do lol

But I'd complete it in a few days anyways

[hushed bobcat]

yeah we haven't gotten an expedition in about 7 months

actually precisely 7 months i didn't think i'd nail that

[grim isle]

I actually didn't play the earlier expeditions (I think I started playing them at exp 5?) and I'm so sad that I didn't get the golden ship

[hushed bobcat]

the only expedition i didn't finish was the normandy one and i'm slightly pissed about it

it's not like i really care about the normandy frigate, i just wanted the rewards for collector's sake

[grim isle]

Yeah I understand

Playing hunt btw so I'll reply a bit slower lol

[hushed bobcat]

sent you a friend request, i noticed you're also a deep rock galactic and barotrauma player

[grim isle]

Yeah love those games, but my friends rarely want to play baro

[hushed bobcat]

exact same thing for me lmao

they never wanna play

[grim isle]

same with a lot of things actually, been playing gtfo(the game) recently and I'd like to finish most(if not all) levels but they rarely want to play

And I'm stuck with bots and a non adjustable difficulty where bots are next to useless

[hushed bobcat]

i play with 3 people and barely ever do they wanna play with me, one of them is addicted to war thunder and never plays anything with the rest of us

[grim isle]

actually the same lol

And that one person who has a good pc is playing WT and other games most of the time, the others have pretty crappy pcs

[hushed bobcat]

it's actually the exact same for me

me and the war thunder addict are the only two with decent pcs, we used to have a guy that had an awful pc that could barely run roblox but just today he built his new pc

[grim isle]

Why are there so many coincidences? My friend who has the worst pc of the 4 of us will hopefully build a pretty good pc this summer

And I offered to help him assemble it and do the bios settings, drivers etc

[dense shore]

A feature where you had to physically land and repair parts of your damaged ship would be interesting

Not saying whether it’d be a good or bad addition since I can think of lots of arguments both for and against it

[gloomy hazel]

custom Frigate and Ship colorization like with the Freighter and Exosuit would by a huge plus

[spark sky]

Make it a gimmick of some kind of new jalopy-type ship, maybe with the trade off that the ship a bit better in combat than a fighter-type, or not.

Honestly I just like the idea of flying around space in a ship that looks like it’s just badly holding itself together.

[empty jetty]

I'm honestly surprised we still can't upgrade freighter classes yet. We can for everything else.

[hushed bobcat]

What if the update added rogue planets? Those would be nice to find as a really rare space anomaly to explore

Maybe they could have exclusive resources even

[forest light]

I know its something small but it'd be cool if they add some 1st person starship animations like hands and feet depending on your character, yes like e.d

[brazen nova]

I thought vr already has it

[raw crescent]

[slate herald]

What if this is in fact a weather update and planets with anomalous weather/no storms, now have terrible weather? I.e. planets with bilious storms now actually have bilious storms instead of beautiful weather.

[dire shoal]

i think it will be secondary weather effects

[visual cloak]

hope they bring this water back

with improvements of course

[olive spruce]

Would also love to be able to see underwater fauna with my scanner without having to go underwater. We used to be able to but they took it out for some reason.

[visual cloak]

that would be a necessary change if they made water clear again

or at least a scale from clear to unclear

[olive spruce]

Maybe it was a performance thing? They don't even spawn until you go underwater and even then it's not right away. Really annoying actually

[visual cloak]

probably

[weary flume]

I still want ship customization because I’m about to get a living ship and I really want it in red and black

[fathom tusk]

Here's how an Aquatic Horror anglerfish companion can work it can clear creatures such as sharks and defend you from the Sea larvae

[hard widget]

Check ship hunting, theres a red/black living ship there

[fickle axle]

I just want older style planets in general. I mean NMS is a simulation right? So it can be a glitch in the system that allows older assets and generation to be used and it would make perfect sense. Yes there'd be a bit of a art style clash but man I really miss Pathfinder and Atlas Rises NMS.

[timid vigil]

Get ready lads. Update is likely tomorrow.

[fickle axle]

I just mostly want color/terrain variety and that acid trip of older planets I still think Atlas Rises had my favorite style. This is a screenshot I took from Atlas Rises of a desert planet and there is no way you'd see something like this in modern No Man's Sky at least not yet.

[unique radish]

Seems like we’re not getting anything we thought we were

[balmy cove]

Might have considered spoilering that for those which might not have reached that point yet

[nocturne urchin]

Hi, I'm a former player of NMS and I was wondering if the problem of buildings not being visible for all players in a group (shard problem?) is still here...?
And, if it's the case, are there plans to correct that in the future?

[chrome schooner]

Soooo

I think NMS is now on every thinkable platform except mobile phones?

so I think next updates should focus on content again? 🤔

[pale zealot]

Not Mac yet and that was confirmed last year

[chrome schooner]

Right, I forgot

and iPads were confirmed by the Apple site, but I don't know if HG confirmed it themselves anywhere

I think Legacy Zero thought the Mac version was coming along this PS VR 2 version

[hushed bobcat]

I think all of these qol updates are bringing us towards our beloved exploration update 👀

[knotty mesa]

what I kinda want:

• different stars are different sizes and the planets surrounding them are affected by the light colour of the star.
• planets have a few different biomes / regions like poles or an equator. we already have oceans so the groundwork seems to be there maybe.
• different orbits for planets, like tidally locked planets. close orbits lead to high temperatures, far orbits lead to dark cold planets, etc
• new assets for decorations and stuff
• more extreme inhospitable planets, like giant ice sheets and glaciers, molten planets, gas planets.
• fix water shader

all of these do seem a bit extreme, especially that last one

• endgame mech customisation, i want to be able to make a full on gundam

[lost robin]

they keep letting us own more ships. Do people think we will ever get more space for them on our freighters?

[visual cloak]

🙏

[chrome schooner]

I have a suggestion in the zendesk to allow us to own multiple freighters

and then ships cap would rise per freighter lol

(but from years ago now I think)

[chrome patio]

more collaborations like they did with mass effect?

it would be so cool to have an imperial light cruiser as a frigate

[hollow sleet]

I put in a request a while back that I was curious what you guys thought
food as it stands has very little functionality but its very in depth. As a catalog completionist I felt a lot of dread going through making all of those cakes and ice creams.
Then I realized that there is no base building parts that even closely resemble food when i was making my bar, yet there are things like antique plates and other small dishes so why not just go all out and have placeable food decorations and more dishes giving the food items at least some more functionality. Let me place and display my cakes and butters and cheeses

[knotty mesa]

I had no idea there was butter and cheese and cake in this game??!

being able to display that would be amazign

[hollow sleet]

ye its a pain in the ass to make and takes hours of going through for very little reward (typically things like health, jetpack boosts, etc..)

there are tons of food processer recipes too

there is many different egg recipes, cake, meats,ice creams, creams, butters, donuts...

[hollow sleet]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Cooking_Products

its insane but the reward is... a consumable that has a like 4 second effect

[lost robin]

hey some of them are decent effects!

the jetpack boost stuff seemed good when I last tried it

[gloomy hazel]

Mass Effect is owned by EA. Perhaps they could bring over the ship from Dead Space 😄

[severe magnet]

i kinda want even more interactions with the alien lifeforms, like context based conversations along with asking strangers for language lessons (discuss your reputation, local customs, rumors for missions, ect), talk to your squadmates and give 'em a morale boost (so maybe they actually do damage...), maybe romancable companions (functionally similar to your base staff)...

[lunar widget]

I wonder if anything else might come up relating to Utopia...

[gloomy hazel]

I want my own station base... give me my deathstar!!!

Complete with customised interior, like freighter... maybe add base area around where APass 3 entrance is... with all the parts you need. Plus extras unique to a station base. This also is a private area only to your group, it also give you ownership to the system, including the economy of system. So you get profits from any trading!!! And to top it all off a space port for capital ships to park and be customised including bays for each frigate....

All this can be added built or bought for the spacestation you own. Even expand it as far to create its own star port World so people can visit with their fleets too.

It could expand so far you'd end up with a sort of star port planet, resembling CYBERTRON!!!!

Now a man can dream am I right?

[rough rampart]

I just want to place down foods

[rough rampart]

And normal rain, not firey rain.

[gloomy hazel]

Gotta be more ambitious than that lol @rough rampart

[rough rampart]

I just want simple changes, nothing too extreme. i have extreme ideas, but I want normal rain and placing foods more than a complete overhaul of weather events.

[gloomy hazel]

I get that, but them normal changes need to be implemented aswell as jaw dropping ones too all mixed in each update... problem with just have subtle changes... Content gets stale... hense with they've done this update for example. The subtle changes people want, the quality of life, tucked behind a load of good, epic content.

[rough rampart]

I guess so, but perhaps they'll just add the normal rain and placing down foods as a part of a much larger update.

[gloomy hazel]

I'm sure they will one day

[chrome patio]

that would be sick!

[knotty mesa]

lmao amazing

[hoary plinth]

more creature gen options please, or revamp the creature gen alltogether, preferribly let people keep legacy pets ofc

[weary flume]

You know, I really wish that no man sky‘s can have a collaboration with Star Wars because there’s a lot of things similar between those two things that a Star Wars collaboration, adding a tie fighter in the death star or the Jedi and Sith would be a pretty cool expedition or even thing in the game

[gray cove]

So I have an idea for a future update if ship customization get added to the game. What if there was an option in the space stations that instead of scrapping a ship for units you could break down and catalogue the ship’s components which could then be used for customization. You would still be able to hunt ships as well as collect ship components to customize. Like if you have a specific ship part you want to use you would have to first find a ship that has that part on it then turn it in at the space station in order to use that specific part.

I hope I’m able to convey this idea as well as it sounds in my head

[glacial dagger]

cool idea, impossible in theory

due to how ships are simply a single seed

would probably require reworking the entire ship system, meaning every ship would change appearance

[gray cove]

Thank you. It was a random thought I had at work and thought it sounded neat

[glad onyx]

that sounds like cooking but for ships

[glacial dagger]

If you want ship customization, there is a website and discord for it!

[gray cove]

Personally I enjoy hunting ships and was just brainstorming ideas that could maybe satisfy those who like the hunt as well as players that want ship customization

[gray cove]

I’ve never really dabbled into cooking in the game, I’ve been told it’s a decent money maker

@glacial dagger @glad onyx Thanks to the both of you honestly, I really appreciate the input!

[buoyant cliff]

That would be dope! And it wouldn’t be impossible… they could start out simple by giving you the ability to change out the engine style, wings, and color. Then as time goes on, make it more in depth by giving you the option to change what weapons can be seen, change the color and styling of the cockpit, and eventually the styling of the exterior (nose cones, etc.). I think that would totally be possible!

[hoary plinth]

i wish you could do more to a frigate as a pirate, rather than just destroying cargo pods, you could go on the frigate and cause some major havok inside too, and automated humanoid sentinals could go up against ya

[dry compass]

I want this but for the sentinel freighter. Cause it’s boring. You shoot it’s turrets and then it just wave assaults your with interceptors. I want to be able to go inside and destroy stuff, and then get the loots

I think that’s be cool

[hoary plinth]

yesss

[daring turret]

multiplayer on switch

[stone sparrow]

Do you guys think that it'll just be bug fixes from here on? I have a reoccurring nasty feeling that No Man's Sky has only a few team members left working on it, whilst the rest of Hello Games are already developing their next project.

Multiple content creators are postulating this theory, and I hope this theory proves false.

[oblique smelt]

I Hope not. From day one devs tried to shape the game into state from the trailers. After over 6 years they delivered the promises with small fev exceptions. Now when they finally catched up, they should build on these fundations and expand the game. In terms of content, story, world diversity. Sean many times said that "nms is still far from finished" and he and his team have " lots of ideas".
Diversity is what the game needs most at the moment imo. More types of buildings , biomes, ships , mt, fauna and flora etc.etc. Game takes so little space on hdd in comparison to other games. HG jave my blessing to take 5x more space from my hdd and fill it with new assets and content.

[cedar onyx]

I highly doubt it because they said they had an even bigger year than 2022 planned for 2023 in the community post

Also i found some new WIP emotes (presumably future quicksilver rewards) in the files. I have a google drive link to a video of them if im allowed to post it

They are holograms of a blob, ship, frigate, system and multi tool in different colors

[toxic slate]

They typically have different smaller teams working on different things, sometimes big things that take a while, alongside smaller content pieces. Of course I wouldn't be surprised if some of their team have bounced back and forth between the new game and NMS as need arises, but I don't think NMS is manned by a skeleton crew. Some of these QoL updates may be things they wanted to get out in order to support future content

[hot flame]

Any datamined content can go in #nms-spoilers

[brazen nova]

That’s maybe why some updates are bigger than others.

[crimson stone]

im starting to wonder if its a good idea to keep doing updates...

seeing how people have sorta reacted to updates for the last 6-12 months maybe it time to stop before things gets worse and worse

if people always think what ur doing has no purpose or it makes thing worse why do the effort and make the comunity and the dev split even more might as well focus on the next big project

[sudden sun]

I think there a a few content creators that like to make click bait videos about the updates being bad and that HG owes them something. Honestly I don't think the vast majority of the community feels like these updates aren't good. We can't expect a small team like HG to turn out hug updates ever 3 months.

[floral grail]

and honestly some of these changes were desperately needed

like having options in the main menu

[crimson stone]

yeah but i think people dont see that it is important that those changes happen

and that not every update can be massive and that they think omg we didnt needed that or i didnt asked for that soo it shouldnt be in the game some people say waypoint wasnt a needed update when it was needed

its just because waypoint doesnt have what they wanted in it but if it had everything that waypoint had that we got today and + what they were asking im sure they would say waypoint a great update

[sudden sun]

Again I think the people who think it's not important are the content creators who want the anger clicks. I thought Waypoints was a pretty good update honestly.

[crimson stone]

same i thought it was messy at launch but with the patchs it became better and better

and i feel like fractal is a waypoint part 2

[gloomy hazel]

I'm new to the game and so saw videos of hate for waypoint. All I had in my mind was 'you don't have to change the options, and in no way does any gamer have that big of an impact on any other in terms of affecting each others gameplay'. As mentioned by Quickdrawman, these complainers are loud because they have a network, but are small when it comes to the impact on gameplay.

[pastel minnow]

They're nms content creators. You'll get burnout from anything if you focus on it too much.
They're just looking at it from a lens as if all they did for 5 months is just make one helmet and ship.. But this was a VR2 focused update, if they added more stuff, headlines wouldn't mention it and wouldn't grab people.
Plus, Sean said NMS is far from finished, stated recently that they want to make 2023 a bigger year than 2022 (which imo was ready big in content) and shortly before waypoint's release, Sean said they were already working on 4.1 and 4.2
So it's likely we'll get more content focused stuff next

Imo it's best to treat the current build of NMS as the last one and remember how amazing it is that the game evolved so much from it's launch.
It's silly to get mad over an update 6 years after launch that it didn't have what you wanted, especially if the update added objectively good QoL stuff

[fierce cove]

I'm still waiting on more puzzles, whether they are mathematic based or physics based puzzles like you'd see in Zelda: BotW, just to add that element into the game as well. Combat has never really developed to the point that I think underground dungeons could take place, but I do feel that we could create some new lore that is locked away, hidden, underground...either via catacombs, or some other mysterious/foreboding environment. We do have the derelict ships now and the abandoned buildings, but I'd love to have something underground that's also "inside."

[swift bolt]

Here me out. The next crossover is with Destiny 2. Acardia-Class Jumpship, Ghost companion, maybe a Pyramid ship frigate??

[forest light]

A discord suggestion but how about race roles? Anomaly,Vykeen, gek, korvax, traveller?

[gentle totem]

I mean I like the idea but all I can think of now is ... well... egg slicer
If you know, you know

[hot flame]

[sturdy bramble]

what we need is a UNSC ship

[gentle totem]

More building options. Stone Wood and metal are OK but I'd like to see more shapes as well as new material options. Carpet for example would be nice as an initial thought

Here's another idea

Programming a landing pad so that a ship that lands on it is rotated to the direction of choice

[vast wave]

If you had the game before the Frontiers update you should have access to legacy building parts

Wood, concrete and metal

The new ones are timber, stone and alloy

[gentle totem]

I had them once

Then made a new save without thinking about it

[oblique smelt]

You can kinda do it now . Use landing pad terminal as point of reference and rotate it acordingly

[gentle totem]

I'm thinking more an aesthetic thing, like having the terminal near the doorway onto the landing pad but having the ship pointed on a different exit angle than the base one

If that makes sense

[dark patio]

I do agree about the terminal. All they'd have to do is rotate it 90 to make it better.

What is like to see is:

• invisible floors that spawn npc that, kind of like the ones in the freighter.

• an assortment of invisible light sources with level intensity to them ranging from 1 to 10

• simple programming robots that can do basic tasks.
  Ex:
  Go to X, Pick up A, got to Y, unload A.
  This simple command can take all the resources from the mining storage and place it in the actual storage, where I can have remote access.

• npc squad for groud.
  Similar to the exocraft.

[turbid fossil]

I like those ideas except for the robots

The level of automation we have right now is just fine IMO

[gloomy hazel]

Plushie decoration parts

Need I say more?

[dark patio]

Ship customisation.

[cyan bloom]

Mhmmm

Maybe more utility for tamed animals. Example, Ark: Survival Evolved has different creatures able to use different abilities/harvest resources more efficiently/ allow for easier travel over different types of terrain. It'd be cool if different creatures in NMS has similar effects to them, rather than just riding (which is often not very efficient other than flyers) and scanning resources (which I can do myself).

[lofty burrow]

I’d like the ability to tame high flying creatures sometime in the future, it was difficult actually managing to land on one via hopping off a low flying pet and it’ll be worth the effort once you score one

[cyan bloom]

Sounds cool

[ashen thunder]

ability to change prop colour while building in vr

what if you could own space stations

either by buying or using a space station override chip

maybe it would work like owning a settlement

[dark patio]

That be cool, whoud give another meaning for getting your reputation high, like a pre requisite of owning it.

[ashen thunder]

yeah

[cyan bloom]

Maybe a way to make like some passive income too

[hollow sedge]

Being able to build more robots?

Like exo craft, but not x3

Another weapon would be awsome...

Or a placeable turret to help defend against sentinels or angry animals

[jovial pewter]

Does NMS have ship interiors? IF not, that.

[remote yew]

all i want is to be able to see my own body when flying in first-person

like elite dangerous

please sean

[royal lodge]

I just came up with a really cool idea imho. (Its probably already in this chat). We can tell GPT-3 about the lore in different details and put different models in to npcs to be able to talk to them.

[hollow sedge]

It would ve awsome if we could find broken ships, like exotic ships that arent meant to exist or work, abstract forms with abstract and exotic sytems you can find via those large fault rings on the wierd planets

You coukd have an entire quest dedicated to finding the source of an anomaly and have it ending up being a alien ship that crossed dimensions or sumthn

[ashen thunder]

they do

[ashen thunder]

even behind the camera, there's alot of detail behind you in the ship

[knotty mesa]

I really want to see the players body in first person. someone once posted an image in here showing the multitool with an arm holding it in first person and it was a way more pleasant view than the current system of showing it as a static block in the corner

I think it would be cool to see the player interacting with the ship controls in first person as well, atm the ship controls just hover there unused and its really jarring

[fallen hawk]

I mostly just want every "engine" to have a trail, tbh

[hollow sedge]

Stationary shields would be cool

Like what the sentinels do?

Maybe even the ability to shield bases/setlments with karge towers?

[violet belfry]

Some possibly simple additions:

Tiny planetoids/landable asteroids

Display cases for items/weapons we want to save/show off

Cleaning up/junking/retrofitting abandoned freighters

[violet belfry]

I’m pretty sure they have hands in VR, so that’s probably what the screenshot was

I wouldn’t mind them implementing that for sure

[hollow sedge]

Super lazar

[rugged mist]

Can we all agree the ability to place a trade terminal on a frigate would be a great thing

[mellow grotto]

will no man's sky support ukrainian in future?

[ashen thunder]

they have hands and full body

[fallen hawk]

? why

just go to your freighter

[real reef]

My list still very long... 😦

EVA walking
Proper space base building
Factories for automated manufacturing (connectig refiners with fabricators / storages via pipes)
Planetary / raid bosses
Pirate ground combat
Proc gen ground dungeons
Proc gen ground buildings
Player stats page (with damage, vitality, protection and so, summarized, like the classics rpgs)
Atmospheric jumping from ship (like the old good game MDK)
Landable and minable asteroids
Gas giants (for gas scooping)

[rugged mist]

Sorry I meant freighter can you place a trade terminal on there thought you couldn’t?

[fallen hawk]

There’s a trade terminal piece, yes

Check the freighter unlock menu at the bridge, I think?

It’s a room piece

[rugged mist]

Oh sorry never seen it

[gloomy hazel]

With how they collaborated with EA to bring the Normandy to NMS, I think at some point once the sales of the remake of Dead Space have started to dip, they should add the Ishimura for either a freighter scrap mission or to have it in your fleet. T'wud be sweet my dear fellows.

[storm lagoon]

I want more additions that bring variety to various part of the random generation and having some rarity to a some of those additions. For a game focused so much on exploration, it really suffers from having everything feel so sameish after a while

Larger cave systems that go deep into a planet would be cool aswell

[hollow sedge]

I would like better ship variability

Both in design and function... the living ships are just normal ships but fleshy and ...they use diffrent stuff. Other than that they dont bring much to the table..

[spice plover]

A comet update would be appreciated.

Comets could slowly travel through the system and you can like chip away at them by shooting to collect hyperclusters of tritium or gold or platinum or ferrite dust or uranium. You know like the build blocks to a civilisation and life but the longer you spend in the trail of the comet the more damage you sustain on your starship and you need some serious freeze hazard protection if you could land on these

[hollow sedge]

Fusion reactors would be awsome..

Maybe a questline to gain super good upgrades for ships?

[raw crescent]

outer wilds flashbacks

[polar tendon]

I’m still a stickler for a variety/points of interest update. The current PoI system makes them all the same and practically look the same everywhere

Where are the cool ancient underground structures and puzzles and caves, rare unique items that can do stuff outside of you using your multi tool

[hollow sedge]

It would be awsome to have exo planets. Just entire systems devoid of a star and only having a single planet?

[hollow sedge]

Romance options would be nice :3

[pastel minnow]

I'm hoping 4.2 is a big content update.
Sean mentioned in an interview before Waypoint's release that they were already working on 4. 1 and 4.2 and Fractal didn't have much outside of VR stuff cause it would've been ignored by articles or people reporting on features for the update most likeky, so pushing content back a bit would make it a highlight for 4.2 I think

I just have a feeling 4.2 has already been cooking for months instead of started now after Fractal.

[hollow sedge]

Is that an ENA style pfp?

[pastel minnow]

Yep

[hollow sedge]

Toit

[knotty mesa]

ah that makes sense

[knotty mesa]

BIG ASTEROID BASES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

also I love the idea of huge comets that you can get ice and rare resources from that would be sick

[violet belfry]

A roving one that’s kinda hard to land on like in The Outer Wilds would be amazing

[gloomy hazel]

I would like to see more dynamic elements from AI/factions

[pastel minnow]

Yeah I wish factions had... any mechanics at all
You can restore it with a forged passport but.. why? You can still go to a system where the race "hates" you, you can recruit their frigates, pilots, do missions for them, buy their ships etc..

You can't tell if your standing with a faction is at 100+ or 999-

[fallen hawk]

honestly, I'm hoping we get more ships referencing popular scifi ships

either like the utopia speeder or as new parts for procedural gen

like, maybe a Hauler that's modeled after the Razor Crest

[gloomy hazel]

I think the game also needs a new type of anomaly but that has a whole new set of features like mini-games to make quicksilver or win random prizes. Maybe a bunch of new quest types that could introduce a new powerful enemy,

[weary flume]

You know, I think refining silver could give us bismuth

[hollow sedge]

I still think they should add easter egg ships/caneos, maybe like stargate ship frighters/frugates?

Maybe even a flyable police box wink wink nudge nudge

[granite cosmos]

I wish i could build an orbital space base
Maybe even near other static space objects
A static derelict freighter or a black hole observation station

[storm lagoon]

More low atmosphere planets

They shouldn't be as rare as they are

And there should be more varieties

[turbid fossil]

What sort of variety? Kinda hard without much life

[knotty mesa]

Tbf there are lots of cool lifeless planets irl

[storm lagoon]

Stuff like planets with volcanic planets with low atmospheres

A lot of the current biomes would work in lower atmospheres

If you take the plants and stuff away

[knotty mesa]

Tidally locked planets. Planets where the surface is molten metal or it rains glass. Planets of giant flat ice sheets with boiling liquid geysers of methane or something

[turbid fossil]

Not that interesting though, but thats partly fault of planet generation

[knotty mesa]

Different weather patterns and skies based on distance from the sun would be cool, like if the sun was quite small far away and the planet was dark and cold, but then close to the sun its bright and boiling hot

[turbid fossil]

How do you land on molten metal

[storm lagoon]

I mean ideally I'd overhaul the entire planet generation but id be asking for too much lol

[turbid fossil]

Yeah that would be a giant undertake

[knotty mesa]

Mercury probes landed on the surface and fell apart very quickly

[real reef]

jump from the ship and hover with jetpack

[knotty mesa]

Yeah

[storm lagoon]

I really want gas planets, tidally locked planets, visiting a systems star etc but that's never happenin

So at the very least I just want low atmospheres possible on more biomes lol

[knotty mesa]

Tbh the problem is that a lot of space is terrifyingly dangerous and making NMS utterly inhospitable might not be inkeeping with the theme of the game

[turbid fossil]

And where does the ship stay meanwhile?

[knotty mesa]

Juzt slowly meltz

[storm lagoon]

I mean you can make inhospitable planets aslong as there's enough hospitable ones to make up for it

[knotty mesa]

True

[real reef]

at the point you jumped

[turbid fossil]

And as long as they are still explorable

[turbid fossil]

Would need a ship overhaul as well

[knotty mesa]

If only we had giant mechs that could help us explore

[real reef]

OR, titanfall jump from your freighter with the mecha

[storm lagoon]

I dunno, I wouldn't mind planets you can't land on tbh

Especially if they're few and far between

I'd love to fly over a systems star for example

And you wouldn't be able to land on that

[turbid fossil]

Its an exploration game, I want to explore. Its the reason we dont have gas giants as well

[real reef]

the ship could return to your freighter and, after you explore the planet, recall and get aboard again

[storm lagoon]

Yeah but exploring space is part of exploration aswell

[turbid fossil]

Sure but that doesnt reduce the importance of planet exploration

You can explore space anyway

[real reef]

the molten surface is indeed an awesome idea for a extreme planet

[turbid fossil]

And you get in how?

[storm lagoon]

Having 1 gas giant every so often wouldn't take away from planet exploration, since there's an infinite universe to still explore

There's more then enough planets you can land on

[knotty mesa]

It would make moons more important

[real reef]

you can get in mid air now

try it

[turbid fossil]

What you mean?

[real reef]

call for your ship, and while landing, jump and get in

[knotty mesa]

Or imagine a gas giant or hazardous planet with an asteroid base, or being able to fly your ship into the atmosphere and collect materials from on board mining equipment before returning up into space to safely deposited them

[turbid fossil]

It seems to be NMS philosophy that you can land on all planets

[turbid fossil]

Like I said, needs a ship overhaul

[storm lagoon]

I mean that's fair, but I think that philosophy is hurting planet variety which the game already very much lacks

[real reef]

not problem for HG

[turbid fossil]

No but its still a lot of work.

[turbid fossil]

Meh. What do I do with a gas giant other than looking at it for five seconds?

There isnt that much to Explore in space itself

[real reef]

worth it, every new gampleay mechanics worth it

we need new mechanics

molten surfaces, gas giants, landable asteroids, eva walking

[turbid fossil]

EVA walking? Whats that supposed to be?

[storm lagoon]

I mean I play this game for the pretty sights

[real reef]

get out of your ship middle space

[storm lagoon]

I'd love to fly over a gas giant

[turbid fossil]

And then die because your suit isnt made for that

Summa summarum: Overhauls are needed

[real reef]

add new tech for the suit

[knotty mesa]

s p a c e w a l k s

[real reef]

yeah, totally agree. new mechanics needs an overhaul

[turbid fossil]

I did infact submit a suggestion for doubleseater ships, which includes getting out midflights

[knotty mesa]

You can summon your ship ij space to rescue you

Or if you were stuck you could have an emergency bouy and a rescue cruiser comes for you

[real reef]

there is already sort of newtonians physics inside delerict freighters

[storm lagoon]

Gas Giants would be super cool to fly near because they'd be totally different from anything we have currently

[real reef]

things floating zero gravity

[turbid fossil]

Theres gravity on gas giants too

[knotty mesa]

The frigates have landing pads and stuff so you could pay the NPCs or do a quest for them and then retrieve your ship and fly off

[real reef]

yeah, i was talking about space walk

[turbid fossil]

Mh.

[storm lagoon]

Gas Giants could potentially even host life

[turbid fossil]

I stand by my summary

[storm lagoon]

I mean yeah

[knotty mesa]

The Cool flying worm boys and butterflies would fit, and they could make new creatures like jellyfish or man o wars with large floatation bladders and stuff

[rough rampart]

Dont gas giants have an insane amount of gravitational force on its insides, enough to rip someone apart?

[storm lagoon]

I mean yeah but so do black holes

And our ship handles it just fine

[rough rampart]

Fair enough.

Forgot about black holes.

[storm lagoon]

Fair lol

They are kinda just there

[rough rampart]

But, i think that certain tech would be needed for gas giants, to be able to scan any fauna inside if there are.

[storm lagoon]

That'd be cool

[rough rampart]

Gas giants should probably also throw rocks and stuff around, which you can shoot for materials.

Or get hit by.

[storm lagoon]

Would be a great stop to get some minerals lol

[oblique smelt]

Wonders discovery records in catalouge are useless imo without portall address pined to the discovery. Hg please add some sort of favorites tab with portal addresses of discoveries.

[hot flame]

Add portal address to discovery screen for any planet you have been to

[oblique smelt]

There should be fav discoveries because discovery tab has limited memory and forgets your finds with time and as you discover more and more. After 256 galaxy jurney i had to discover again my main dase system.

[flint dragon]

A way to save discoveries and maybe even waypoint them on the galaxy map from the discoveries tab would be great

Though I would also like to see more modules for creatures since right now there isn't really enough variety to make discoveries that worthwhile in terms of fauna. The randomness of creature generation in launch was silly, but there was quite a lot more variety

Like making creatures randomly bipedal lol

[hollow sedge]

Sub orbital animals/upper atmosphere anamolys like mysterious orbs mission things or places where you can build bases/harvest special materials/gases

[cold lion]

I would add decorations with letter shapes

[hollow sedge]

Pretty sure those exist?

Letters and numbers

[raw crescent]

just numbers

no letters

[worn idol]

Late reply but man this is a great idea that I really hope HG takes note of

[violet belfry]

Yeah like those things that pop up in space during warp, but like in the atmosphere would be cool

[hollow sedge]

The .. asteriods?

Oh the anamoly

Ye

They woukd be kewl

Maybe sky jellys >:3

[violet belfry]

Would be cool to have like Gas Giant style planets with super small solid cores but massively cloudy and harsh atmospheres

Like the nuke zones in Fallout 76

[hollow sedge]

You mean like the golowing sea?

[harsh solstice]

I love that they added so much more volumetric fog to the game.. but speaking of Fallout.. I want more..more

[violet belfry]

Oh yeah the new fog effects are awesome sauce! MOAAARRR!

[violet belfry]

Hehe haven’t actually been there yet but definitely hazardous areas of immense atmospheric madness.

Probably like a more intense version of the hazardous storms they have. Maybe with wind effects/tornadoes!

[sturdy bramble]

railguns would be nice

[hollow sedge]

We technically have that

Kinda

[severe magnet]

the Predators On setting is a bit disappointing for me as it's more like, "very rarely some large animal might headbutt you irritably." if we're going to be "hunted by aggressive predators" i wanna see T-Rex type threats, and im a huge wuss that always likes peaceful modes

[severe magnet]

also i wish we didn't have to scan the standard same glowing oxygen/sodium flowers on every planet, we don't even have to scan raw mineral crystals

[hollow sedge]

Bro

Its free nanites

[severe magnet]

true

just feels a bit "really, this same plant?" even with limited assets

i hope someday they can add even more variety, there's a lot right now don't get me wrong but it doesn't take long to get repeat scenery

[lyric sphinx]

Would love if we could get mnk support on console tbh

[toxic slate]

I think the idea is that they are easily identifiable to players who might be desperate to grab some basic resources if they are about to die etc

[real reef]

just scan for it

[hollow sedge]

Wus dat?

[severe magnet]

well oxygen is easy enough to get, the idea is literally just "hey these two plants are literally the same on every single planet, why do we have to scan them when we don't even have to scan the also identical raw crystals"

[crimson stone]

the problem with that is that they have a network and can have a big impact on the comunity because those wont say no ur wrong they be like yeah ur right

[violet belfry]

I agree. I think if they just varied them up a bit more, same bright colors and all, it’d be fine

If it’s a “for beginners” reason they could definitely stop it being an issue for the systems that normally require engine upgrades.

[pastel minnow]

Yet another reason why I want a variation update that focuses on existing assets and not adding brand new hand-crafted assets

[barren dawn]

I had an idea the other day for a possibly future addition to the game. I'm new and I've been seeing a lot about expedition rewards. I realized that the expedition rewards are only available during the time they were released. I am aware that they made the expeditions that way to make it an achievement to get them, but that was saddening to me since I knew that even though I hadn't know about nms before this, I wouldn't be able to get the rewards. I had an idea that would change that, whether in a good or bad way, it's up to your opinion. I was thinking that they could bring expeditions back, but as a monthly thing that happened once a month and a random expedition would be chosen. Noobs or people new to the game would get the chance for the rewards...but what about the people who had already completed said expeditions? I thought for those that had already gotten the rewards, they would get a different reward. I was thinking that a unique space station would spawn. This space station could have rare goods or things in big quantities, and the biggest thing I thought of was a choice in race (for certain ships to spawn depending what you want) and to be able to choose either a primary color or secondary color.

While this does go against the RNG that the game goes for in finding ships, it would still have the RNG for the ships, it's parts, and the secondary color, as well as the ship itself. This would be an easier way for someone to help get a certain ship that they want. The thing that would balance this out is that you would only be able to buy one ship and then the space station would disappear, meaning you would have to wait and complete the next monthly expedition. This idea is open to be expanded upon and any feedback is appreciated (As long as it's nice). Something I just came up with that would not discourage new players, while also being able to get old players to come back.

[marble orchid]

So ive been thinking on this and letting it moulder since 4.0 ... i didnt mind the cutting down of the tech from 6 to 3 as a relatively new player AND i acknowledge SOMETHING did need to be done but the longer i play i feel like the supercharged slots have taken away some of the magic of nms. That magic came from ships/multitools largely being cosmetic once they were s class... now two S classes can be vastly different... im not a min maxer BUT i have rouble turning away a ship with 4 adjacent SC slots on a ship i despise the look of compared to my cool looking "decent" ship. In the end this is my problem i know... but with so many difficulty options they should have just given the option to bump tech number to 6 if people wanted but thats probably not gonna happen... so perhaps to get the magic of having your dream ship WITH awesome SC slots by being able to transfer SC formats YOU own to another ship YOU own. Still necessitates you to find that format but lets you keep your dream ship... i still miss my fav ship that had 4 SC slots nowhere near each other... as i already said its my problem but i hope its fixed one day.

[pastel minnow]

I'm torn between liking and not liking supercharged slots.
They're cool in a lot of scenarios, but definitely took away from the 'balance' HG tried to implement originally

[hollow sedge]

I still generally hate the 'overhaul' and would like to to be ...put back xp minus the sorting of course... its ... ... I never use it actually... how many people do?

[marble orchid]

I dont. I sort my own stuff. Basically i just want all ships, multitools, and even freighters to be generally equal again. Supercharge ruined that for me.... its hard to devote 3 hrs ship hunting for that perfect tie/xwing hybrid when you know it supercharged slots make it sub par -_-

I dont think anyone would much care about the overhaul if they had just given exosuit/ships 6 slots... i know i appreciate how the elemental shields finally work as advertised. I play on permadeath setting (minus the perma death after losing a 300 hr save to a insta death bug while driving an exocraft over a medium sized rock) so the extra storm shielding is nice

I guess super charged slots dont mean as much if you are ok with just looking stuff up on the exchange. I bask in the exploration part and dont use it hehe. I have a word doc with my best finds lol

[wicked drum]

I can deliver your dream ship with 4 adjacent sc slots if you like. I feel the pain finding that one ship
