oh, and while on that subject - can we get "double volume" rooms for freighters. Basically rooms that, if placed over other rooms, don't build their floor so that you get a 2 floor high room (or 3 or 4 etc if you keep stacking them)

#

It would be nice to build some large interior hangar spaces in my freighter

#

and a warp core room

#

Also, on the subject of enabling nice builds - lets stop messing around. HG can just give us a "orbital base base station" base computer variant, that automatically creates a 2000u orbit base above itself.
Give it a anchor point for a short range teleporter beam and you can teleport yourself up to a starting platform, with an identical BC with an anchor point you can hook up to teleport back down.

#

the ability to actually drive freighters

#

and control the turrets in the freighters

olive sentinel
#

What's the point in controlling the freighters if there's literally nothing to defend your own freighter from

#

No one really attacks it

#

So a random event where you have to defend your own freighter from pirates would be neat

gloomy hazel
#

i'm basing that off of sea of thieves because in both nms and sea of thieves you can randomly encounter other player's ships but unlike that game there is not really a true way to pvp in nms

#

or teamwork

gloomy hazel
#

I'd really love to have full glass windows in the game and maybe make floor connect seamlessly, it'd be frickin great and Itd make the building much better, seamless walls, glass walls, seamless wood floor just imagine how it'd look like

cedar canopy
#

im not sure if this has been mentioned, but i think it'd be really cool if we could have auroras on icy planets

tidal agate
#

I would like creative mode to actually be a creative mode instead of the same game but just you not being able to die.

rapid grotto
#

Water-world planets, where the water level is much higher than normal planets to allow for new depths, would be fun.

#

I'd love to be able to build a base 100s of metres underwater.

proven shale
#

I heard the game will stop getting updates, is it true?

west hinge
#

sounds very unlikely given the history of the game

#

at least not without a big heads up

proven shale
#

Ok thanks

#

No man’s sky mobile

gloomy hazel
#

You would literally need a Quantum Phone to run that

#

NMS Mobile is like saying Skyrim should be ported to the NES

tardy wave
#

It was mostly a joke but yeah that’s the idea

#

New idea: NMS + Star Wars

gloomy hazel
#

Sentinel Droids would be a really cool thing though

#

Perhaps they'd look like more Sentinel-ish Korvax

peak edge
#

Obviously not immediately implementable any time soon, but how about "minor races"?

#

They'd be proc-genned races localized to a single region

gloomy hazel
#

With the Pre-Established lore we have, that could both work, yet not work, explanation: (spoilers obviously) ||The Atlas is dying, and while it's dying, all it's systems are going wack and glitching out. The Gek, Korvax and Vy'keen are the only species because of this, as they are stuck in some sort of loop where they always exist in reality. It is said that as the Atlas nears death more and more, reality becomes more unstable. At, iirc, like 11 Atlas Minutes remaining until it's death, the walls between Reality break, allowing for multiplayer. Now, this could mean that Updates are just the dying Atlas falling deeper into malfunctioning, with more chaotic things occuring, it could also mean that, eventually, there may be some sort of system failure that interferes with the 3 Species thingy and allows for new ones to exist. I'm not too sure about all of this, and I'm far from a lore expert, but I think most of this is right. So yes, it all depends..||

Please correct me if I'm wrong

Is sean actually see discussion in steam?

#

There's many great ideas to

#

Also here, just scroll up

gloomy hazel
#

I'm still working on that huge update suggestion that im gonna send them directly on the forums

empty swallow
#

I see, thx man
Btw, is forum and NMS reddit is the most seen by the team?
I feel useless to send my ideas in steam discussion before

tardy wave
#

For the most direct way to contact the team look at the pinned message.

empty swallow
#

Already do that, so i do the right way, thx for the inform.

We seriously need the ability to keep our favorite animal, even if its just a single one, as a pet that follows us around when summoned. I want this minotaur-sized oaf I found to be my space traveling buddy.

#

I think they should publish the ODS API.
This would allow for an official, and 3rd party, mobile companion discovery browser applications.

haughty ore
#

I think they should add 2(or maybe even more) player ships

wheat acorn
#

the problem is that making ships that require multiplayer in a game that you can play 100% singleplayer

#

You think it's not ready for DLCs?

hollow root
#

It's not

torn fractal
#

What else needs to be done before DLCs?

hollow root
#

Bugfixes?

torn fractal
#

They're pretty minor nowadays or at least in my experience with it

gloomy hazel
#

Yeah no, can't agree on that one

#

Alt-Tabbing for more than a minute is a guaranteed crash

#

Entering planets' atmosphere can crash the game

torn fractal
#

Only Crash I've had which happened many versions ago on PC is a crash when travelling to a new system

gloomy hazel
#

Anyway, tis not a place to talk about crashes, just acknowledging stuff is still wonky

empty swallow
# hollow root This game needs to be perfect first to have DLC's

kinda, the game is very unstable today, yes
but its already good in contents (and yes, the contents is also unstable)
its just supply and demand paradox, less money = small team, more money = big team
and now they want to leave past generation platforms, because small team? task to big? it will lower their market ranges, also bad for them
and yes, i keep telling them to fix the game first, new content later, because you cant add more furniture to your existing messy and unorderly furniture in your sleeping room

gloomy hazel
#

terrain looking washed, terrain not being affected by terrain manipulator sometimes, the big ships, falling in space, atmosphere bases, falling through worlds, moons being in rings, planets crashing into each other, are all super annoying bugs

#

and that's just to name a few

#

and not being able to land on planets for what seems like forever sometimes for no reason at all...

empty swallow
#

terrain not being affected by terrain manipulator sometimes
its maxed terrain edit limit, and you cant lower it somehow
you need new save to get 0 terrain edit limit
which is crazy

hollow root
gloomy hazel
#

no, i mean when you just simply cannot dig through terrain for a while because of a bug, then after a while you can

empty swallow
#

and not being able to land on planets for what seems like forever sometimes for no reason at all...
you need to let the terrain loading first by flying lower to the ground

gloomy hazel
#

Im already as low to the ground as possible lmao

#

im not stupid

#

i know how to land a ship

torn fractal
#

I must admit terrain can be quite buggy, my base for example is basically buried

empty swallow
hollow root
#

Bcs on previus version it did not exist at all

haughty fossil
#

terrain is super glitchy, I agree they should try to address it soon

#

I've fallen through the world a couple times and sentinels quads constantly spawn inside the ground when im trying to farm them

#

also when I was a noob i died many, many times trying to farm sentinels for the nanites, and the dog walkers lunged and killed me through a wall

gloomy hazel
#

PvP like Sea of Thieves. perhaps it can be activated in the nexus and it gives a reason for freighters to be drivable

empty swallow
# hollow root then they should add DLC's for cosmetics, missions/features that are not importa...

idk to, its so paradox, because i have less inform about thier problems, im not their employee too

Nah, it happens no matter what
Bcs on previus version it did not existed at all
yeah, thats my point, their game only good at newest platform hardware, not past hardware
so somehow they need to simulate it to past platform hardware
it now shows in crossplay even more, like PS4 with other platforms
.
this become bugs topic, lets move to #nms-questions

tardy wave
south crow
#

More options in upgrading freighters: Turrets, Protection, Abilities. More possibilities in manipulating it from the bridge. It would be especially useful for pirates which want to raid othe freighters with more than just one tiny spaceship.

As for PvP. Why not make it more arranged? Instead of open world pvp, there could be a possibility to group up with othe players and report to an npc, which begins a mission and transports you to an instanced piece of space where battle takes place.

#

NMS on Stadia planned? Would be awesome to play it from anywhere ❤️

gloomy hazel
#

IIRC Geforce Now supports NMS, so maybe try this for now

ivory timber
#

Yeah, I guess I will have to. Unfortunately GFN performance is rather poor most of the time

#

at least in comparison to Stadia. GFN has better hardware but Google's server infrastructure is way better

gloomy hazel
hollow root
#

Freighter with airstrike ability that can be used on planet

gloomy hazel
#

and i said this before but remove/fix all the duplication glitches and cheating glitches (autosave when you fail a manufacturing facility riddle and such). i know some people aren't gonna be happy about that but like i said that isn't how the game is supposed to be played (still no pay to win stuff plz)

empty swallow
hollow root
#

freighter can attack pirates if im right

#

and thats it

empty swallow
empty swallow
# hollow root what do you mean structures?

obliterated any living crap in circle range of 1000u, included any enemy NPCs or players (if pvp turned off, not get damaged, except in pvp session) inside any buildings

freighter can attack pirates if im right
yes, because i also suggest about big land battle, like a big wave of sentinels, or a CQC wars between faction and pirates
so you need something to delete entire enemy batallion and the fleets who support them
the fleets will be the hardest one to kill since freighter will be super tanky and almost immune from normal starships
im talking about PVE to, idk about PVP room session, if planned PVP session like galactic hub have, also idk

hollow root
#

wait so freighter already can attack something on land?

empty swallow
#

if freighter main gun is super photon laser (still not make suggestion about weapon variety for freighter)

wait so freighter already can attack something on land?
no, all of them not even exist today, i talking about a connection from your suggest to my suggest
freighter and frigates today only dead object, while freighter not even considered as ship but as space base in vanilla, while the frigates only true dead objects

#

i also already suggest about a player's base defense turrent that can attack freighter in certain distance and attack tanky land units
but the dmg is still low againts them, at least, your base can attack back and do damage to them, so the gameplay will be focused more for freighter vs freighter

NMS is a game about exploration. Allowing more pvp would detract heavily from the game

torn fractal
#

Boss fights would be interesting, have something quite powerful with lots of hp to fight

olive sentinel
#

There are tons of weapons to choose from, so it might make sense to actually put it to some use

marble bison
#

PvE boss fights might be interesting but that might even detract from the game's core design

olive sentinel
#

The plot makes sentinels a much bigger threat than they are actually

#

The only threat from them is low framerates

marble bison
#

unless it's a Sentinel sweep, which makes sense for PvE battles

olive sentinel
#

Yeah, waves of sentinels, or something would be nice

#

more types of sentinels (three and a half aren't exactly many)

torn fractal
#

That get harder after each wave

marble bison
#

well, tbh.. they did lay the groundwork for it by the space-sentinel battles. They stopped at one capitol ship though

olive sentinel
#

Sentinels actually want to defeat you, not just give you a slight headsmack

#

That would be great

marble bison
#

Would be neat to actually be able to destroy the capitol ship once you defeat the turrets but given the context, it sounds like HG does not want you to. So, I think it should retreat rather than just sit there

supple warren
# torn fractal That get harder after each wave

that's kinda how it's supposed to operate now, even more than before, but they made improvements to difficulty around the same time they also made it possible to buff yourself even more than before via stacked upgrade modules so it kinda cancelled out

marble bison
#

I do think the waves should be much greater threat. Make it possible even in Normal mode to be defeated easily

torn fractal
#

Have it scale like in borderlands

marble bison
#

Ye

supple warren
#

they would want to further improve combat first tho

marble bison
#

though, it seems like HG is conflicted about introducing combat mechanics

olive sentinel
#

They shouldn't be

supple warren
#

part of the reason combat's in an easy spot now is largely because the community keeps complaining about combat and not liking it

olive sentinel
#

There are so many weapons, but totally no use to them

torn fractal
#

There is this divide between pvpers and none, can't please everyone unless it's manually triggered as a mission or something

supple warren
#

so they keep minimizing combat, or just giving more health/durability to Sentinels, rather than giving it more serious focus

marble bison
#

yes but this isn't a pvp game. At all.

supple warren
#

Also i thought we were discussing PvE combat

torn fractal
#

Sorry, yea pve

brave plinth
#

Wait are we discussing a mass sentinel event like ||when they killed everything in an hour||? Because that would insanely crazy as a weekend event.

marble bison
#

you know.. that actually would be awesome

brave plinth
#

god help those on permadeath

#

it quite literally becomes The Purge

marble bison
#

get 20 players or so to battle 100+ sentinels in space and planetside

brave plinth
#

They all die to bugs

#

lol

supple warren
#

sounds dull tbh

torn fractal
#

Hah

marble bison
#

There's an event in Star Trek Online like that... to fight those crystal entities

olive sentinel
#

I've probably annoyed the heck out of everyone at this point, but

#

SETTLEMENTS 👏 SHOULD 👏 BE 👏 OVERHAULED

#

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

marble bison
#

erf...

#

you don't have to spam emojis lol

olive sentinel
#

I swear it will be good

brave plinth
#

Yeah, put a . in an edit por favor

#

Is there anything wrong with players expanding the settlements?

#

I build bases into npc structures all the time

olive sentinel
#

Nah, they are just pretty empty on their own

#

They could expand, they could grow further, the sentinels could invade them or something

supple warren
marble bison
#

that would be an interesting mechanic. Larger your base / settlement is, sentinels would investigate / get mad

brave plinth
#

Well, yeah, but now were just getting nihilistic about everything in the game.
"Everything sucks, so I dont want to play anymore," is definitely not going to improve the game.

olive sentinel
#

You could add lines of defense to the settlements to help evade the sentinels

#

You could have actual workers there, it's quite a lot of possibility

#

You could also receive random distress calls to help defend a settlement

olive sentinel
brave plinth
#

I hope hope hope that the planetary chart machine adds more types of locations in the future. That would also be awesome

marble bison
#

Yeah, I have 300+ hrs into it, probably won't be slowing down until the 1000 hr mark 😛

brave plinth
#

Yeah, sorry, that was directed to the "all bases are empty shells" commentary

olive sentinel
#

Isn't this chat about the things that we want to be added or changed in the game?

brave plinth
#

This channel is often a mix of crazy ideas and straight up nihilism

#

Yeah, for sure. Some of the ideas are awesome, some are out of scope, and some are just bitter.

marble bison
#

bases are kinda what you make em - Only thing that really needs to change is placement issues.

#

addition of parts is moot until bugs are fixed

olive sentinel
#

I don't remember staying in a settlement for too long

brave plinth
#

Well, yeah, if you dont have other players join you, then they'll be pretty lifeless.
I build into the npc structures for that reason. My bases have more activity going on that way. Its like a dual boost feature of making the settlements better and bases more lively

#

But base building is also not really required after the first couple missions. You're free to pretend the game doesnt even have the feature for the most part.

olive sentinel
#

I have nothing against base building. Apart from some small bugs it's pretty polished imo

#

Combat and generated buildings are where NMS is totally lacking

marble bison
#

the constant Z-fighting for snap points is irritating beyond words

#

it's mostly because they work off of the CENTER of the part not an edge

olive sentinel
#

I understand you, that's really a disaster sometimes

#

And the ability to move a base computer would be a really welcome addition

brave plinth
#

It reminds me a lot of kerbal space program, when you have to delete something, but its attached to the root part. Sometimes a major nightmare

marble bison
#

what I did find interesting was that I accidently deleted a room full of stuff and put the part back where it was, everything came back.

supple warren
olive sentinel
#

Oh, and NMS does not support typing in cyrillic, that's a shame

brave plinth
supple warren
#

when i say that about bases, the implicit suggestion (which I've made elsewhere, maybe even here by now) is that they should feed into the exploration of planets instead of just being art pieces or min/max moneyprinters

brave plinth
#

I 100% agree with that

#

The community however, is another story entirely

olive sentinel
#

Oh, and by the way, do animals actually have different sounds?

marble bison
#

happened to me yesterday so maybe they changed something?

supple warren
#

or to put it more simply, be more than whatever they are now, which is mostly what i've described in three ways now, lol

brave plinth
#

I do use bases as passive resource locations, but after 300 hours in, i feel ive earned the right to not have to grind out oxygen with a mining beam. The simple fix is, remove the sell value of resources.

#

Or just kill off activated metals entirely.
The only one that is even used for anything is Activated Coppr

olive sentinel
#

I didn't ever grind out oxygen or any other stuff, I just buy it out and that's it

supple warren
supple warren
brave plinth
#

I shoot the plants man.

marble bison
#

I usually just find mines for all my resources and setup depots to store about a stack at a time

brave plinth
#

fuck them flytrap mfs

#

Actually wait

marble bison
#

LOL I actually think we need more predatory plants

brave plinth
#

Remove the fly traps. NMS 2021

olive sentinel
#

They have a bag with quite a lot of oxygen

olive sentinel
marble bison
#

they are annoying af but it makes for some great traps

brave plinth
#

Ok, but my exocraft should be able to run them over at least

olive sentinel
#

I hate being hurt by a fly trap that's not even close to me, 10 meters or even more

#

sprinting around randomly and snap - there goes some of your health

marble bison
#

Neurotoxin (tm)

olive sentinel
#

it's voodoo magic, not neurotoxins

marble bison
#

well, if you aerosol the toxin, it makes sense that you get affected 10ft away

#

even 30

brave plinth
#

yeah, but if im flying 10 ft over a flytrap, its not jumping to get me

marble bison
#

🤔

supple warren
brave plinth
#

same goes for the clams too, they're hitbox is cray big

supple warren
#

i feel like you get just as much from the smol oxygen plants dotting the land

brave plinth
#

Yeah, sometimes im out though, and theres no red glow nearby

#

i do play new saves quite often

olive sentinel
#

boomflowers are pretty op tho

#

they have quite a lot of oxygen on them

marble bison
#

what are the boomflowers again?

brave plinth
#

the stretchy stretchy boom boom ones

marble bison
#

OH those

olive sentinel
#

couldn't even say that better myself

brave plinth
#

not to be confused with the barnacle bastards (gassy cave bois)

olive sentinel
#

i always snipe them down, since they don't even give you anything to be worth getting close to them

supple warren
#

improve hazardous flora HG pls & ty

#

make the risk/reward more worth poking them seanbomination

marble bison
#

I actually want more env hazards

brave plinth
#

bigger cave elements would be cool though, like old mans sky

marble bison
#

a pool of lava or acid would be nice

brave plinth
#

back when the cave pillars were twice your height

olive sentinel
#

Oh yeah, toxic or lava oceans

brave plinth
#

we already have toxic oceans

olive sentinel
#

Do we?

brave plinth
#

Yeah, on toxic planets haha

#

the water is very toxic

#

same with rad and cold

#

hot planets, the oceans actually cool you off though

marble bison
#

would be nice though if your shields would just melt in those cases

olive sentinel
#

Oh, I haven't really looked at any toxic ocean planets

marble bison
#

I feel invulnerable bc i can recharge it so easily

brave plinth
#

Its usually worse than being on the surface, so its almost storm level of depletion

gloomy hazel
#

yeah they need to fix the duping before pvp

supple warren
#

the problem tho is that it's like any of the environmental hazards, it's indistinguishable from any other outside of what the suit calls it & the HUD hazard protection bar color

brave plinth
#

or just no pvp, since the game isnt even remotely set up for it

olive sentinel
#

It's too late for PVP

brave plinth
#

@supple warren how did you feel about Origins adding the storm buffs?

supple warren
#

Environmental hazards could really serve to be more tangible or given better distinguishing characteristics than hazard bar color/text & voice description

#

Did it?

brave plinth
#

Yes

#

There are buffs during different storms now

#

Jetpack in a firestorm is wild, for example

supple warren
#

I noticed the different weather effects and those are a good step, but they also tend to have the usual frontloading issue of being easy to find

#

Oh, the actual buffs

#

I think those are bad personally

brave plinth
#

May i ask why?

supple warren
#

The point of a storm is difficulty imo

olive sentinel
#

It makes it more risk/rewardy in my opinion

brave plinth
#

I think the difficulty is plenty there, but most people play on normal where storms take 2 minutes to kill you

#

Survival storms drop you in about 15 seconds without a hazard upgrade

supple warren
#

Adding a buff is just another attempt of them trying to get you to weather the storms, but when the only reward tends to be storm crystals (if memory serves) and the costs are increased hazard drain & inability to see much of anything even those buffs aren't enough

gloomy hazel
#

Can storms even kill you in normal mode after you get some upgrades?

olive sentinel
#

Not at all

#

Unless you fall asleep or something

brave plinth
#

Yeah, i could easily get the hermetic seal when i rolled up a normal save by just walking to the location

supple warren
#

Same with survival to a lesser degree

#

(after you get upgrades being the conditional here)

brave plinth
#

Survival in the beginning is more like, "jesus, where tf is a cave at"

olive sentinel
#

I've decided to start with survival for some reason

supple warren
#

For me it's: where's my ship, where's nearest sodium

#

ship acts as a cave in its own right

gloomy hazel
#

the difficulty curve is pretty wonky. The very beginning is a total lotery. Then a couple of hours later everything is piss easy

brave plinth
#

Survival is the better game mode imo. The way things are set up makes it feel like its intended you play survival

olive sentinel
#

3 hours in, I've decided to have a ride on an animal, and then I fell out of the map with all my stuff lost due to a bug

brave plinth
#

The way cargo slots actually double the stack size. ship inventory makes more sense, freighter inventory too.

supple warren
#

i think it's almost better, but falls short through the difficulty plateau being hit quickly and the only changes to difficulty relating to higher costs/faster hazard drains/higher damage/etc.

brave plinth
#

A bunch of exploits are also less feasible with survival too, so the units fast track is not as present

#

I wonder if theres a mod that removes all vendor module stock. Can only upgrade with modules youve found

supple warren
#

Like last time I put some more time into any of the "standard" gameplay modes was survival a bit after Next, and it just felt like much of what I disliked about Normal, but made excessively more annoying

gloomy hazel
#

The worst thing are the stack sizes

#

refining is obnoxious because of it

#

tons of menu fiddling

brave plinth
#

Its not exactly a refining sim though

supple warren
#

Tbh to me the stack sizes aren't as annoying as the constant recharging

#

And having to gather more to craft/repair crap

brave plinth
#

The typical complaints about refining stack sizes are usually related to expanding chlorine too, so again, not exactly the focus of the game

gloomy hazel
#

Say, you want to turn turn some di-hydrogen blobs into di-hydrogen

#

the refiner only takes 5 at a time

brave plinth
#

And youre limited to 5 gels, which is half a stack?

gloomy hazel
#

and refining takes like 2 seconds

supple warren
#

refining is just annoying anyway

gloomy hazel
#

so you have to stand in front of the refiner feeding it one stack at the time, super annoyting

olive sentinel
#

oh, automated stuff retrieval would be really great

brave plinth
#

Youre doing this in a medium refiner?

#

I just use the personal refiner for that

#

much quicker in my experience

supple warren
#

refining just adds a bunch of micro-timers to some crafting processes that makes it like, "really?"

olive sentinel
#

by that I mean connecting your refiners or mining things to a storage and then getting it all automatically

supple warren
#

especially given how crafting didn't have it before for ages and it was snappy & more tolerable in that regard

brave plinth
#

and then double the times in survival too.

supple warren
#

like the partial crafting stuff is also just a big, "but why does it have to flip me to a different screen for this?"

gloomy hazel
#

yeah i think it's pretty pointless, feels very tacked-on

brave plinth
#

A lot of this game is very much, "pin the idea on project board"

supple warren
#

i wish there was a toggle for the partial repair/crafting stuff so you could just skip the flip to screen to slot in resources

brave plinth
#

I drag and drop, then hit B (controller)

supple warren
#

Just have it show in the context menu when hovering over the crafted/repair tech

south crow
#

Ejected seats for spaceships usable only in atmosphere. For stuff such as: In case ship crashes ever gets implemented instead of just bouncing against the surface, teamkilling (which is fun) and if you are about to get absolutely wrecked by a requiring space enemy.

Maybe a escape tiny pod in space?

fiery comet
#

being able to raid sentinel freighters once you get 5 stars would be sweet. not to keep them, but to destroy/sell. could have a similar implementation to derelicts

peak edge
#

Something I'd love would be more Sentinel interactions/behaviors.

#

For example, their ability to demonstrate retreat tactics during combat, the ability for animals to "hunt Sentinel drones" based on their description, and maybe even subvariations of individual types, like larger/smaller drone models.

fiery comet
#

it would be cool to turn up to a factory and already have vy'keen raiding it, help them out like a the capital ship events

empty swallow
#

Yeah, mostly my suggest is about PVE battle, and improvement of the core game, improve exploration features, and improve existing features, etc

#

What is the point have multiple kind of weapons and vehicles in this game?
Freighter? "Combat" frigates? Lol

#

They already existing, yet have no clue what to do with them

marble bison
#

It's really not. Combat is a side product.

#

only reason combat frigates exist (sofar) is for those missions you send them on.

#

a bunch of weapons is just variety

toxic lake
#

only one seems to come to your aid though, so no need to keep more than one around

marble bison
#

is that new?

#

I've never heard of that

toxic lake
#

idk how new it is, only been playing for a week, but it's definitely a thing

marble bison
#

ahh.

woven void
#

Can multiple freighters be owned?

marble bison
#

No. Sadly

woven void
#

Ok

marble bison
#

I would love to own more than one - even if the rest were auxiliary. No base building.

fiery comet

Well, if you could store extra ships on it, then it would be worth it

supple warren

tbh ships are just stored in the void anymore given you don't even need a freighter to have more than one

you can't claim more than 6 though...

supple warren
#

yeah, it's just a carryover from when you did have to have a freighter

#

now it's just there

marble bison
#

interesting. Though, there's only 9 slots on a freighter... does that mean we should be able to claim 9?

supple warren
#

nah 3 were left open for traders i think

empty swallow
#

Players to have more than 1 freighter, like 9 freighters
In the end the space battle become like stellaris or sins of solar empire
But idk, for that, let devs decide, atleast not to focus to free for all pvp, no p2w, no extra super long unbrainny grinds

#

Alien heads are waaay to big imo

#

I think they have an option to shrink them

And also I think the game could use more character customization in general

#

The game needs a ... threat gradient.
Warping towards the core should increase the chance of hostile space encounters.
Abandoned systems should actually have some kind of risk, not just be an opportunity to harvest larval cores. I think some of the mechanics from derelict freighters should be retrofitted so that the abandoned trading posts and the creepy space station has an actual infestation.

empty swallow
#

agree, some of the existing features and contents need to get improved to

supple warren
# sharp widget The game needs a ... threat gradient. Warping towards the core should increase t...

or a complexity/difficulty gradient, not necessarily contingent on violence

the game falters in intentional challenges because it's reluctant to indulge in typical gamey violence, but in turn just resorts to typical gamey tedium in the form of grinds & timegates

Amusingly, they violate their own attempts to minimize the centrality of typical violence in the play by failing to recognize the alternative environmental exploitations involved in various grinds as also violent.

sharp widget
#

I like the exploration angle of the game. And I like .. emergent game mechanics. The games sandbox is large. The question of how much .. danger the players are comfortable with is easilly answered by simply letting them find it themselves.
And while I agree that violence does detract from what I like about the game - the game mechanics we have - a wide selection of guns and shields - all point to difficult combat situations that currently do not manifest.

#

So, we either need to bring in some targets for the guns to be used on. But in a way that doesn't force poeple into combat if thats not what they are here for,
Or, actually embrace the exploration angle of the game. And that means working on the scanners and so on, such that they can produce maps, persistent / sharable POI's. scan for more than one thing at a time.
I feel weirdly blind in this game at the moment. Which is strange for a game about exploration.

empty swallow
#

yes

#

but NMS itself already force ppls into combat when get robbed by pirates, or get attacked by them

#

a game with fully long unbrainy grinds is not good, at least you put gameplay on it, like VRchat did
because game is exist for us to "game" with, not "working" in game while sacrificing to much time and brain sels to get "virtual" items

#

but in the end grinds is also get positive opinion from players, IF the grinds is not to crazy, or you can choose hardest way or easiest way to grind
like NMS did
creative? or normal? or survival? or fight against your dead?

#

normal grind? faster grind? or tricky grind? or exploit grind?

#

lol

#

this is why i like NMS

supple warren
#

as to grind though? I don't think it matters what sort of grind is present, if you're referring to it as a grind it's a failure of game design.

It presents no interesting choices, no engaging gameplay, and is nothing more than a repetition of some gameplay mechanic to death, which is to say, till it's lost all its interest and fun.

empty swallow
#

And yes, until it lost all the fun, you just repeat the samething for years

supple warren
#

whatever game you're referring to, that's what i call a bad game, personally

and i'm not terribly clear on what you're trying to suggest about NMS' grinds other than that you tolerate them and want something tweaked about them yet kept grindy

sharp widget
#

Any game that wants to have longevity is going to reuse game mechanics.
And reusing game mecanics is always going to be called - by some proportion of the playerbase.
Nonetheless, the tedium of an activity is all on the eye of the beholder. And is determined by wether of not they consider the activity the content, or the gate to the content.

Just submitted a suggestion for a Refining Depot

Example 1: Connect harvesting Copper supply tubes to a *Refining Depot to collect the refined Chromatic Metal.

Example 2: Connect harvesting Nitrogen and example 1's supply tubes to a Refining Depot to collect the refined Sulphurine.

Example 3: Connect refining Sulphurine from example 2, and Chromatic Metal from Example 1 to an additional Refining Depot to collect refined Radon.

#

Thoughts?

brave plinth
#

@astral saffron can i make a suggestion? Use indium to make chromatic metal.
1 indium + 1 gold +1 silver = 30 chromatic metal

astral saffron
#

Its an example 😛

brave plinth
#

Right, just thought id give that tip since a lot of players dont know that one.

astral saffron
#

Not to worry, it's more in the interest of being able to harvest things that would usually have to be refined

#

If I could post the example pic here it'd be a bit easier but I'll put it in #no-mans-art if anyones interested

#

Nevermind, can't even post there it seems

brave plinth

Well, refiners already lose things as it is, so im not sure how effective that would be

It's not a screenshot but alright

#

Wacko discord setup lol

#

I'm not sure what you mean roarin

brave plinth
#

Youre suggesting automation, i think thats pretty clear. I just dont know how it would jive with the refiner void bug

#

Refiners eat things if you walk away from them

astral saffron
#

Well it wouldn't be a refiner

#

It would work like a supply depot, if certain connections are made, it holds the refined material

brave plinth
#

Oh i see

#

So...were making refiners obsolete then? Or?

astral saffron
#

The places in which this would be possible would be incredibly hard to locate, but yes, after 1000 hours, I would like an option to automate certain things

#

namely nitrogen refining

brave plinth
#

I gues theyre not totally obsolete, but i dont think the majority of players will continue to use them

#

I get what youre after, single location stasis device farm (or FI).

astral saffron
#

I mean kinda, I get so much run off of other material, it only makes sense to boil it down to that right

#

so I get stuck refining nitrogen because my inventory piles up

brave plinth
#

You dont have to collect it all. You can just leave half of it in there. Otherwise youll just end up with runoff of chromatic metal too (or sulph, radon, etc)

astral saffron
#

Collect all what?

#

I just mean run-off as in, whilst doing other things I gather enough material to make nitrogen the only hurdle in making stasis devices

#

and the amount of nitrogen I need to refine to clear up a full storage takes about 2 hours to refine

#

and that's with about 16 refiners going

brave plinth
#

Yeah, i think youre describing an extreme case here though. Majority of players arent running 16 refiners at once. Thats like super-niche
Also, at that point, you should really invest in a sulph or radon farm spot. That takes 5 minutes to warp to and collect instead of 2 hours of refining

#

actually I think two things:

  1. NMS needs to do the thing a lot of mmos do, and have a Documents/Addons folder that is scraped for UI addons. UI addons are scripts written in lua typically.
  2. NMS needs to expose its HUD elements - and a building API - to lua.
  3. NMS needs to have a public host for these where creators can upload addons, and an in-game addon browser where hosted addons cen be discovered.
    This would let PC users author UI addons, that could be consumed by Console users. The UI addons would allow the input system and HUD to be modified by 'the community to create totally new ways of working with POIs etc. Also, pro builders could get addons that in build mode allow for the exact, and scripted placement, and translation of objects.

Thats 3 things. but who's counting.

NMS has a really good soundtrack that you only rarely hear ingame. Asimov is a nice example, it only plays when you enter a space station for the first time, which isn't very fitting in my opinion

@gloomy hazel how did you find out?

#

this one video, Chimera I think, its like a mod that enables or uses more of the No Man's Sky engine

#

in short, this engine could emulate erosion in its worlds, allow ice on water, fully dynamic weather

#

if could generate every individual leaf differently, if given the option

#

that would require a ton more computing power though

#

but im assuming due to the low power of last gen, most of these were turned off

#

game already runs pretty poorly as it is

#

True, but next gen should allow some of these settings to run

erosion, ice on water, fully dynamic weather are not just cosmetic changes my guy

#

and he said it himself, doesn't require loading screen, just wait till it generates

#

and since there isnt anything between star systems, besides astroids, I think this would work perfectly

#

But tbh i think this would be difficult to create

as you would then need an actual star, No skybox, and some more optimization

To do that the game would require a large update.

#

The only reason the game has such a small file for its literal unlimited space is because of its file compression. If you could manually travel to a star system, the one you left and every other one in the game would require to still be running

#

The only way to stop this is to de-load and re-load, which is why we have the warp feature

Give MTs a new "nav data" inventory. if you have navigation data in your inventory you can scan a poi with your MT and it stores the result as a chart item in the MTs nav data inventory.
At any time you can open your MT inventory, and activate POI's if they are in the current system. or delete them if you no longer want them saved.

#

Also you can directly create charts in your current MT by browsing through discoveries and choosing a waypoint by browsing to a planets and to its waypoints.

# sharp widget As, if you solve the Observatory puzzle, there is a chance at a distress call.

Observatories always lead to alien poi's. Transmission Towers lead to distress signals (and possibly crashed freighters iirc). I get both of these from Inhabited Outpost charts, and I get Observatories from Emergency charts as well. After using a total of 15 emergency charts earlier, only 1 directly led me to a distress beacon. This is pretty inconsistent since other systems might have given me at least 5 or 6 in the past.
(And yes, i visit every location marked between each use of a chart).

Even a simple on-screen message shown on login would suffice, but a screenshot of the visitor would be that much more awesome.

Would be cool to have a trading place for players.
This, in activating a random found BC that once activated is popping up a kind of city center with a trade place plus a mailbox system for players.
Also once the BC and city center has been activated it would allow up to 16 players to add to the city their builds with each a maximum of 5000 pcs build limit but it would not count towards the players max build limit of 20k.
I have by the way sent this suggestion to HG.
Would be cool having cities.
On top imagine we could have such in space in an asteroid belt / outer rim of a cluster.

We need another two hangars in our freighters.
One - a Dry Dock - for storing ships over the 6 active ship limit that the player wants to keep to salvage, repair, or fly later.
Two a hangar in the belly where a base can be built. When the base is ready, the base computer can be activated, causing the hangar doors to open and the base to be deposited at the hangars position, as an orbital base.

#

Player space stations can be constructed by placing the players freighter anywhere, and then deploying the starting base.
Or orbital bases by summoning the freighter into orbit, which guarantees the placement is correctly oriented low over the planet

About Bases in general. We've experienced abandoned buildings/space stations and freighters...subject over time to looting, degradation and infestation. When we build our bases, however, the NMS universe seems to be very kind. I've built maybe 50 or 60 bases and although I may never visit 3/4 of these bases, I know that no matter how much time passes nor how infrequently I visit them, I will never have to expend another unit or resource to keep them as pristine as they were the day I built them. Since decay/infestation and looting (along with an established break/repair mechanism for ships and exo-suit) are already part of the NMS universe...why not make these environmental factors and external threats be a part of the player's base experience as well?

#

For example, if you build a base and do not visit it for a certain length of time, the base will be marked as abandoned and will eventually and gradually become infested and will start to fall apart like other abandoned structures. Then, at a certain point, if you do not visit the base and make the required fixes (clear infestation/ repair wires/ walls, equipment, etc.), the base becomes permanently abandoned and is available to be looted by other players. Forced with the future expense in time and resources to maintain these bases, players will tend to be more thoughtful before building bases, understanding that a failure to return to the base will eventually result in loss of the resources and time invested in building. As it stands right now, there is nothing to prevent users from collecting resources and building bases where they happen to, for the moment, find it useful. These bases are all over, permanently peppering planets, which leads players who happen upon such planets to draw the false conclusion that the existence of 30 or 40 bases on a planet will result in more players encounters, only to find out...eventually and after building a base nice new base ready for company...that they just moved into a ghost-town of a planet, probably populated by a rush of players who followed a redit post, and who have long left the planet for good to move on to a new mission.

landing pads should refuel your ship for units at the little console

merry pivot

launch thruster, namely

hyperdrive is for you to do, don't wanna phase that out. but the launch thruster is just a pain in the ass to refuel bc theonly two feasible ways are to hoard mass amounts of uranium OR have tons of launch fuel, which both take up inventory slots and make me sad

there's the dripfeed recharger for it, in case ya didn't know

it would be nice to switch the behaviour from having a call starship button even when your ship is landed to something useful, even if its particular niche is filled in

#

one less thing to worry about. and it's a nice touch

(Another addition to my custom animations concept/project) "Stealth" - Using this form of movement will reduce the range in which you get detected by sentinels and/or hostile fauna. This will allow you to get away or pass certain sentinels without being detected. If you get close enougth to a unsuspecting sentinel drone (or quad, which can be unlocked via upgrades) that is either passive, or searching for you, you have the oppertunity to perform a "Lethal Takedown" using a melee-weapon. (laser-sword, dagger, knife, etc. Different weapon are unlockable through different NPC's.) Performing a successful melee takedown results in the instant death of the sentinel, without raising your wanted level/claling reinforcements or other sentinels investigating the sentinel's place of death. (Custom images below.)

What if.. sentinels stopped spawning on top of you. And what if you could kill them and they would simply stop spawning at that location for a while?

So much that.

Sentinels should defend things more than each other.

There is a nexus mission , to collect quad cores - which I dont bother with. Because wherever you find one quad - thats all. Kill it and you're fighting a quad and walkers.

we should be able to avoid escalating encounters to walker spawns so quickly.

I don't think sentinels are hard. Just annoying as hell.

so if you want to do something there you have to run away until they are gone and pray there won't be any spawning right on top of you while you're doing whatever it is you are doing

its quite fun fighting through them but it just gets quite easy

Instead

  • remove derelict freighters as a way to obtain the bulkheads as a way to extend freighter storage.
    the alternative mechanisim
  • make freighter bases transfer when players buy new freighter.
  • each time you buy a new freighter, the previous freighter is scrapped, returning all the bulkheads previously installed, plus extra depending on the freighter being scrapped's class. In this way you upgrade your freighter, over time, by buying new ones.
  • rather than limiting the freighters max cargo, the freighters class can be forced by giving it an inventory impossible for its class: i.e. having sufficient bulkheads to upgrade even a C class system freigther to ~43+15 or better will force it to S Class.

I'd like to see Tennant beacons. Like, after you earn enough clout with one of the races, you can purchase a beacon from a representative, which you can then place at your base to spawn a friendly alien who wanders around a configurable distance from the beacon. This would let us create really cool living settlements/cities.

gloomy hazel
#

i'd like to see more variety in ancient ruins. id like there to be more than just one layout, and id also like there to be different types of ruins with different architecture, implying different societies build them. Maybe what type of architecture the ancient ruin is built by determines the pool of rewards you might get by solving the puzzle. There could also be rare structures that are entire large temples you can venture through. Obviously i dont want nms to become a dungeon crawler for a few minutes so the temples would be pretty simple. Maybe there could be a super rare planet type that is an abandoned city planet. Some ruined city planets could have a very futuristic style(still in a long abandoned state) while others could be more gothic, or have other architectural styles. Maybe some city planets could have been ones affected by glitches in the galaxy, resulting them having several anomalous features.

sharp widget
#

i've probably mentioned this before but it bears repeating: a QoL upgrade related to build mode
a. build mode, where it says "editing <base name>" needs to have a green bar to indicate how many base parts can still be placed.
b. the base computer needs to have a menu that shows a more detailed breakdown of base parts that are associated with that base computer.

#

And, on that subject, this is both a question and a nms future topic
What happens to items that inadvertently get orphaned?
Base computers - up until the 70? - can be selected from a menu so you can always, in theory, find them and delete them and all their buildings.
But Ive managed to loose a lot of signal boosters and other portable items by accident. I pretty much only notice I forgot to pick up my last one when I try to place it, and realise the game is trying to craft one. Do portable items lost somewhere in the galaxy ever expire? Or, over a long enough game, will I eventually accumulate 30k lost portable items and be unable to build ever again?

#

Which is to say, I think either the Base Salvage Unit needs a menu where portable items throughout the galaxies can just be purged.
or...

gloomy hazel
#

Yeah, some kind of meter displaying the # of items / limit of a base would be nice for base builders, especially with the changes in Next Gen

#

As for expiration - dunno, what about a situation where player goes on few months break from the game? Stuff like that happens

brave plinth
gloomy hazel
#

Then what about comms stations? People have been using them to mark stuff for NMSCE, eg. minor settlements with S-class cabinets

brave plinth
#

I would be happy to see those expire. People drop those everywhere.
I taxid someone to a popular system for something and got bombarded by messages as soon as i arrived.

gloomy hazel
#

Then maybe some kind of community beacon could be introduced? One beacon to guide them all and get rid of multitude of these balls which serve the same purpose

supple warren
#

Add a network option to filter comms stations, e.g.
Comms Stations:
-Enabled
-Friends Only
-Disabled

Given that now you can add friends & such, the middle option becomes possible. For most tho, there's a good chance they'd just switch right away to disabled, lol

onyx jasper
#

I have been thinking for a while now that while building we should have a HUD that displays the part counts and limits. I imagine it as three bars that fill up from green to red. The would show local, base and global counts.

#

Re: lost beacons etc. I think there is a safe way to expire them without effecting the game play. When a system or its station does not appear in the discovery list, and it does not have a base. Then it would be safe to remove the beacons etc.

#

The hard bit is to reliably sync the deletions from the users game to the HG servers.

merry pivot

ideally give a warning that just says "you're approaching the base limit, we can't recommend going beyond but you can if you want"

#

never did like hardcoded size limitations

#

i would like also... sleep. sleep would be ideal

#

sleep in a bed, sleep on the ground, sleep everywhere

sharp widget
#

if comms stations are visible to other players, that means they are being saved in ODS.
Which other portable items are saved in ODS and are available when the owner is offline? I presume none. It would be nice to think that my lost exocraft basestation is providing some benefit to players who chance upon it.

#

While on the subject, why arn't exocraft base stations proper portable items?

gloomy hazel
#

Maybe (just maybe) cause they are like doors to underground garage, implying there's a whole garage beneath them

#

And that just doesn't seem portable

#

But on the other hand, we can summon starships and freighters wherever we want, so

#

I don't really know

sharp widget
#

But, otherwise, a rather reasonable mechanic would be to have a limited pool - perhaps 200 - portable items. when you have that many portable items in the wild, if you keep placing without picking up, the oldest / 201'th item gets recovered, as raw materials, into the bast salvage module for collection.

sharp widget
#

at the very least - the exo craft station needs a central bottom anchor point so it can be properly snapped to the roof of large circular rooms.

I think scanning should only say what resources those things give you and if you want to get deeper in the information you should take a sample and analyse it a "lab" in your freighter/base. I think this would make exploration more dynamic.

Yeah base building has some rough patches like that.... I couldn't place the minotaur bay on wooden platform it needed to be on the ground then i found all other exocrafts could be placed on wooden platform i was like wtf is the logic here🤦

#

At least moving the base computer would be nice

#

also just do a full universe reset and make it so you can save and move bases

winged ermine
#

another thing is how you can't build pretty much anything without a base computer

#

why, for the love of god, can't we have a electromagnetic generator without the base computer near it

#

is a single generator already a base?

#

also yeah, i know it's a science fiction game, but i don't really like needing energy to do pretty much anything in my base

#

i guess that's just me though

gloomy hazel
#

fat mood from me

#

The energy mechanic is just annoying

@winged ermine try checking the pins in #nms-questions regarding base radius and how to extend it to hotspots.

@winged ermine base computers serve as a way to, otherwise in an infinite universe, define exactly which player modifications are saved vs which reset over time to stop your savegame from growing to petabytes in size.

winged ermine
#

i guess that makes some sense. i bet I'm gonna regret asking whoever builds enough stuff for their save file to grow to the apparent petabytes in size?

sharp widget
#

well, the base computers do two things - they serve as a locus to place building parts around. And they also save terrain edits in their vicinity. Without a base computer the game cant tell the dfference between a tunnel made to escape a storm or walker or just to search for caves, and a legitimate sculpt that you wish to preserve.

#

if the game was forced to preserve every edit you did with a terrain modifier to every planet you ever visited...

winged ermine
#

i wasn't talking about that though - my main issue with the base computers are: 1. you can't move them around 2. you can't build something as irrelevant as a generator without it

#

i guess they might as well stay if you wanna build an actual base

#

but do we really need them for anything else?

#

just make it impossible to place rooms, floors, walls etc without the base computer, that's my point

#

i think it would be cool if di-hydrogen, carbon, and sodium crystals had a differnt look depending on which reigion of a planet/planet/system it is in

#

also can the devs pls fix the lod and texture loading issues i get in the uwp version of the game

winged ermine
#

i really don't need to have a BC called "[PLANET NAME] Base" just to have a BC called "[PLANET NAME] Hotspot" 300u way from it

sharp widget
#

@winged ermine you really are doing BCs wrong. you can build in a 2ku diameter around a BC, ask about it in #nms-questions or check the pins there

it would be quite great if we had a unlimited amount of save files

#

or at least more

As a newbie, it would be great if NMS had a search function that highlights items in the inventory, with all the Freighter inventories, it looks like it will be a bit hard for me to find something later on.

#

Yeah I think an inventory ui update would be nice

#

It's just a little chaotic and hard to organize

lime ravine
#

The freighter inventories would be nice if you could stack them instead of having tabs

#

Something like a scrollable vertical chain of expandable tabs

#

Specifically for the 0-9 inventories

#

Would make switching between inventories a lot quicker as well, I suppose

#

And the highlighting would be more intuitive, without having to go through everything until you find the right one (just highlight the expandable tab and items)

Yeahhhh fr

maybe one day 😔

Derelict freighter logic, bio scan to confirm no captain and all crew dead/gone, accepts security credentials of known dead/gone crew member. No sense lol

one of the things that bothered me the most about space is the asteroid mechanic. It's super static and cheese. For High-Ultra settings, would be nice to get rag-doll physics for asteroids if not broken in one shot. Also.. asteroid belts. not this "asteroids everywhere" thing

Not sure why -23c is consider extreme cold, that's every winter where I am. -40 is when it gets extreme

#

While on the subject, can we please have an endgame way to add a row or two the exosuits tech inventory.

#

I dont' as a matter of principal, put tech except in the tech tab, and the exosuit leaves me very limited.

#

and on that, when/how is the bottom row of the storage units going to be unlocked?

#

and, also on the subject of inventories and their maxima - can the bounding box that represents the maximum upgrade capability actually represent the maximum upgrade capability? If ships are upgraded to S class the bounding boxes should immediately reflect the new totals. A and S class freighters need boxes that show to new players without being told on forums/discord, that an S class freighter can use salvage bulkheads up to 48+21, but A class only 42+14.

lol, that's still pretty static but it's much better than it was. I get over 120fps in space which means there's room to have some physics-enabled things. They do it inside derelict freighters. No reason to enable it for asteroids (after they are hit once)

sharp widget
#

at the very least they could despawn asteroids when you summon the anomaly or your freighter - as they do with derelicts.

#

and, for all that things are "static" that doesn't mean you dont find space stations in planetary rings. Or moons. Or other such odd occlusions.

#

and, on the one hand, while the asteroids as "space noise" are interesting, it is a bit disconcerting to realize from the way they pop in, that we should be able to see nothing beyond a couple of 10ku

#

so it might be more ... interesting to have asteroid belts as something that can be found using the radar, rather than encountered all the time.

their implementation right now is to save you from running out of fuel and having a very slow flight to a source for it

#

no mans sky should have more save files

#

i already used up all of them

#

and i do not want to delete any saves that have bases

#

also random space encounters should be more interactive

#

^^ yeah.. but on the other hand, it's not that hard to stock pile a bunch of Tritium either

#

With a little bit of planning you won't ever run out.

if you do.. well it's your own damn fault lol

The living ships are the space whales. Thats why they have hyper intelligence and like to sing.

Kind of a necro post, but why don't you use the general tab for tech? If you use that and the tech tab, you still have some room left over in general, but have all of the cargo tab. What do you carry on you that you need so much room for lol? Plus you can get the matter beam for the storage containers in your freighter, assuming you have some. If not, that's definitely a thing that can happen. You may have actually been the one i heard it from but yknow idk.

allow us to trade with players and sell stuff to other players, something more than just giving something to your friend real quick\

It would be awesome if more vr was integrated into the game but first i would rather more bug fixes and patches as among my friends its known as the laggy vr game. This isnt a diss on the game at all because i know how tough it is to turn a screen game to vr but i think once some patches are made making the game more playable with better graphics then there should be ship customization. Like in vr add a edit button to your ship that allows you to move around different things like the control sticks and make buttons that do things like shoot or show a little hud of the ships inventory. I always found the game to be amazing and horrible to fly in. Amazing because i have the stomach of a fighter pilot and its so cool to completely flip eveeywhere on planet screwing with your sense of up. But horrible in the sense that i often find myself just using my right hand for all the flying. Like ill just crank the speed and then im good i would like to add my own hud and see all of the stats my ship has. Like i know there are like four huds in every ship but i found them mostly to be for the looks. Also i want to play with my friends more and it just doesnt really seem like a very good multiplayer game so i would recommend giving multi person ships. They would cost way more but you could have the advantage of one of you friends aiming down a turret at enemys targeting you and your doing barrel rolls and flipping around your opponent’s to give your friend a better shot. Just kinda thought of this as a was playing and thought it might be a fun idea to add to the roadmap
