I think back to when Shawn said that at the moment they could land on comets.

#

If they actually got that to work I hope it returns at some point.

oi, for the foreseeable future, any requests for crossover ships/frigates/freighters/Atlas Stations/Sentinel skins should be directed to this channel, as it's the most apt for receiving them.

Cobra MK3 (S Hauler) and/or Anaconda (S Explorer) from Elite Dangerous
Or maybe a thargoid ship (S Exotic/Living)

#

I want a crossover

#

with mods

#

because all of the top posts on reddit we already have in mods

karmic tiger
#

all the top posts on reddit that are crossovers that are newer than 12 hours old or below karma threshold are actually...gone

#

but yea, I'm aware most of what HG can do with the official game can be done with mods

modern magnet
karmic tiger
#

that said, because I just went through a 90 item modqueue, crossover suggestions will be put here c:

they even locked my Mako screenie

which is an actual in game screenie

timid summit
#

That would break the laws of physics

regal mica
#

can the altimeter make a comeback at lower altitudes? trying to land with no vision of the ground is kinda hard without an altimeter

#

maybe flip and show coordinates at high altitudes?

sharp widget
#

expediton1 and 2 are making clear the deficiencies in the galactic map:
Can we please get ODS to show previously explored systems without having to visit them first.

#

And its bloody bizarre that one has to warp away to a radius that must encompass about 100,000 stars before finding clear stars when there are probably way less than 10,000 explored stars as a consequence of the community effort.

lilac crane
#

There's a contrast in NMS compromised between the civilization and the wild.

#

I wonder if many people feel jarred by that.

lilac crane
#

So what happens, when people want cities, the people who like the wild don't tend to like that.

#

When people want more isolation, the people who like the civilization part don't tend to like that.

#

Duality is hard to attain, but NMS isn't NMS without both. However, these 2 halves need to work together better.

spark sky
#

Have a ā€œPopulationā€ stat on the planets and systems you explore? Systems with higher populations have more planets with cities compared to systems with lower populations. Works the same way on planets too, a planet with a high population means itā€™ll have a ton more cities and settlements on it compared to a lower-population one.

#

And the planets with cities on them will still have huge stretches of land that are uninhabited and wild.

regal mica
#

and show it in a cool way by varying the intensity of the race icon on the map

lilac crane
#

That would make sense, population stats.

#

But I feel like it needs another axis.

#

So, population vs wild?

#

I was thinking, planets with low pops have more things to find that are a lot more "natural"?

#

Maybe you could have "Abyss" kind of settlements instead of just infested that are a lot more common on low pops?

sullen grove
#

when i talk about civilzation population, this is an awesome idea right here

#

someone built a base, that's a little village

#

That's awesome.

#

Meanwhile my own base says it has no idea who lives there and is an abandoned structure...

static ridge
#

I always try to build my bases around a minor settlement with trading post

#

The ones that have the raised landing pad and normally 2 NPC's

#

Setup the base computer in one corner of the landing pad

#

Then place buildings around it

#

They've nearly always got a manual save point as well

#

An update that would really change things up though I think is to make it so a normal save has a random look for your char with a random ship and maybe even have them able to start in a random galaxy?

spark sky
#

You know what'd be cool?

To find creatures in Space itself, something a bit different from the normal asteroids, freighters and space stations. I know you can sometimes find black holes and destroyed freighters too but seeing something like a giant space jellyfish or worm would make space itself look a bit more lively when travelling across planets.

static ridge
#

There are space creatures

#

I've found two so far, one of which was a giant space jellyfish

#

when you are pulsing between worlds if you choose to fully explore systems, you will ofen get some kind of alert that could be anything

#

from a destroyed freighter, to a pilot needing emergency repair supplies, to a trader or a giant space creature that attempts to communicate with you

spark sky
#

Ooooo

#

I guess I haven't seen all this game has to offer, then~

I've only been playing this game a week so far, but already have 36+ hrs in it

#

some planets are more heavily guarded than others

#

thats all it is

#

where a planet has high sentinel activity, you cant do anything without them jumping on you

#

"an exocraft room" would be cool to have a way to not summon for sure but for repairs or modifcation prior to launch to the planets surface would be cool but harsher environments with skyfall meks would be cool too.. Titanfallcough

got news for you - the walkers drop in on you now

sullen grove

especially if you have a base on your freighter in the system then summon it

sleek dock
onyx fable
#

since it has no function there other than being able to access inventory and not what I was suggesting it would not help everyone. Also as while INI might not be cheating it is manipulation of files like cheating I personally dont approve.

spark sky
#

Like come on, give a reason to why it's heavily guarded.

#

Something other than Gravitio balls which, yeah look they look cool, but they're hardly worth anything and they're farmable-

#

Gimme a heavily guarded planet that offers something you can't get normally.

balmy cove
#

A landing pad which can close up to form a dome as to protect your ship

#

I hope one day we can name our saves in the character selection menu. Rather than just saying Normal, Survival, etc. Just a quality of life change.

lilac crane
limber dragon
#

can there be a day where we can actually tunnel bore into planets, rather than going down like 20 feet and being cut off entirely. would make for some really good building concepts for underground bunkers/mines etc

Observatory building with a telescope for seeing into space

I just hopefully we will get a Tree overhaul with different trees making planets more dense and overall just nicer the gen is perfect rn the planets just feel barren

balmy cove
#

Quality of life

vagrant jasper
#

Just planets with 5-20 trees in a clump then 100 ft away more clumps and just a lot of barren land

onyx fable
#

Yes we need density.

#

More multibiome planets

vagrant jasper
#

EXACTLY

sullen grove
#

Trees are such a pain to fly with though

#

I have bonked into many

#

of course, mountains can be that way, too

#

i found one world, storms. Couldn't see five feet ahead of me, tried to land. SUPER HIGH MOUNTAINS LITERALLY EVERYWHERE. i was in a fast fighter, ramming into mountains that reached the atmosphere... until i FINALLY did find a spot to land, and found DINOS

onyx fable
#

Yea but it sounds absurd to say "visibility is low on some planets can we make effortless to fly on them because i hate bumping into the environment instead of navigating carefully"

lilac crane
# onyx fable More multibiome planets

There are lots of ways in which a biome can appear. Example of deserts on earth: Chihuahuan Desert(Mexico and US South-East Border states), Mojave Desert(California + Nevada, fallout fans should be familiar with this), Sahara(Northern Africa), Great Victoria Desert(Australia), Simpson Desert(Australia, infamous for its Emus).

#

And those are "Earth-like deserts" that are natural in origin.

#

You can have plenty of much more alien deserts.

onyx fable
#

I mean contrasting biomes not comparative ones. The game identifies a planet based on a sigle biome in which encompasses the entire planet.

#

For example, if a planet had desert swamp and a volcanic region..

lilac crane
#

Desert and swamp are contradictions.

#

No thanks.,

#

I want to do multibiome in an entirely different way.

#

A way in which the same planet biome has varieties.

onyx fable
#

You are thinking there should be a mojave desert, sahara desert, and Victoria Desert on same planet and call it multibiome instead of just a desert planet. Those r regions... not so much biomes.

lilac crane
#

I disagree, I consider them biomes.

#

You are playing with semantics.

onyx fable
#

No just using my years of playing video games and terminology learned through environmental studies

lilac crane
#

The scientific definition is for scientific purposes, not for these kinds of purposes.,

#

Lets not plays these kinds of games, the creation of definitions is not exactly scientific.

onyx fable
#

Right.. we will just have to agree to disagree.

lilac crane
#

Planet biomes are they are, are way too monolithic, don't you agree?

#

Once you have been on a spot of the planet, you have seen pretty much everything on the planet.

#

Well, there's some variations.

lilac crane
#

Ideas:
-Crystal desert: A normal desert filled with weird crystals.
-Rusty desert: Basically a desert created by civilizations past or present. The galaxy's junk heap if you will. Think Mad Max maybe?

vagrant jasper
lilac crane
#

Feel free to create your own ideas.

#

Thats what this channel is for.

vagrant jasper
#

I just want more flora

#

like denser

lilac crane
#

How dense is denser?

vagrant jasper
#

idk id like to see jungle and forests

#

like actual forests

#

maybe water features aswell

#

gas giants

#

more lore centered items and planets

upbeat oracle
vagrant jasper
upbeat oracle
#

Yep 100% agree

static ridge
#

It would be amazing to see heavily colonised planets as well with cities on them

#

Only some people have experimented with the city idea by building out bases in a civilisation hub to create a city sized scape then realised the consoles couldnt handle it and would crash

#

Thats why we dont get large forests and cities - consoles cannot render them without crashing

#

this game ultimately has to cater to the lowest common denominator which is the limt of the Xbox One's capabilities

#

The xbox one can just about handle this game provided draw disatnces and object clutter are kept low and simple

vagrant jasper
#

A NMS developer was tweeting a lot about PROC Gen cities he is working on

zenith marten
#

And they did add files in NMS regarding the WFC method he is using on the city generator

#

If my memory serves me right they were cleared out in the 2GB cleanup patch right before Companions, along with other files

spark sky
#

I don't know how anyone else would feel about it but a crossover between No Man's Sky and Starbound would be neat.

lilac crane
#

No crossovers please, how about nods instead?

#

Similar to the portal network basically being a Stargate network, complete with DHD.

#

Also: Is Starbound even still alive?

vagrant jasper
#

yeah starbound is

vagrant jasper
zenith marten
#

or possibly never

vagrant jasper
#

ah

zenith marten
#

there is a lot of stuff in the files that was never used

vagrant jasper
#

idk the devoloper twitter gen thing might be a sign or not idk

zenith marten
#

for example they also have wind power and windmill in the power generation structures that was never used

vagrant jasper
#

true

zenith marten
#

but ye, kinda weird that marian even likes tweets that talk about his city stuff being added in nms

QS Shop, 1,000,000QS, Storm Breaker:

Permanently stops storms on a single planet, forever. May change Sentinel behavior as well.

#

Good idea or awful?

hot flame
#

That's a lot of Qs, but I could see pc players rolling around stopping storms on AI farming planets - would removing the storms remove Activated metals also?

karmic tiger
#

who knows, it was an idea barely thought out šŸ˜›

hot flame
#

Lol

karmic tiger
#

the price point is supposed to dissuade easy acquisition

#

so it'd be a rare thing

#

but save editing for QS (if that's a thing) would make any price point meaningless

gloomy hazel
#

That;s the thing

#

Removing 1 gameplay mechanics can potentially break others

#

Collecting stuff like Activated metals, Storm Crystals, milestones for surviving in extreme biomes

hot flame
#

Maybe drop the price some, and make it not permanent, like a couple weeks or something

gloomy hazel
#

Generally Im opposed to any changes like that

#

Same with removing Sentinels

#

Do I have a better idea? No

karmic tiger
#

hmm, okay compromise for my theoretical idea:

Still permanent, but requires a time-gated "cook" time, where you leave the planet while the item changes the planet's layout, so as not to break other game systems that require storms

#

since we know hitting the atmosphere of a planet is the "loading screen", after that, the player should load in with no issue

hot flame
#

Maybe a restriction to undiscovered planets? So people that do like having extreme weather for a base or something couldn't be affected?

#

Like a probe you fire from space

karmic tiger
#

I mean, the original intention was for a First Contact situation, where you find a marvelous planet in a nice system to kip down and make a base, but then ridiculous storms happen

#

this item would fix that, but it needs to be a rare, if not "single use ever" thing

#

maybe lock it behind a certain, rare-rotation Nexus mission or something

hot flame
#

Yeah, would definitely need to be very rare imo

karmic tiger
#

"The Wedding Ring of Systems" sounds like an alternate, funnier name xD

hot flame
#

Lol

stray sun
#

I'd love to see a multicrew frigate. players can use advanced systems to mine asteroids faster, scan planets for a little more detail before making the decision to explore it on foot and maybe even engage combat in a frigate you can actually fly around, but not enter planet's atmosphere. something like the "pulsar: lost colony" concept.

#

I'd want a black market

#

The X class upgrades are sometimes referred to as "black market upgrades"

#

And since i noticed that i want a black market

#

Not just for X class upgrades

#

Maybe rare/exclusive items/colectibles

regal mica
lilac crane
#

When it comes to storm visibility, how about a night mode? Think Eliteā€™s night mode.

sterile frost
#

i am completely opposed to changing any basic mechanics

modern magnet
#

what if you are the black market

sterile frost
#

perhaps

lilac crane
sterile frost
#

A night mode would be togglable right

#

Smth that you need to do yourself

lilac crane
#

Exactly.

#

For spaceships, your ship barely has instruments to begin with.,

lilac crane
#

However, the only information you need is the necessary information to be able to fly your ship or drive your vehicle, as well as use its appropriate functions.

fervent sedge
#

They should let us construct treasure chests that could be filled with Units or resources that do not show up on any scans. Then players could bury treasure on a planet and send people on a treasure hunt. In the planet info section it could have a stat or page that shows the amount of treasure chests buried on the planet and how many have been found already.

#

if it gets lost... well, then the treausre becomes a legend

#

until someone finds it

lilac crane
#

That only works on hub worlds and civs.

fervent sedge
#

nah I think friends could leave it for each other and what not

#

or places like here or reddit could post a treasure hunt and give out clues

lilac crane
#

Inb4 someone buried 1 salvaged tech module as a treasure. It becomes lost and a legend, people try to find the treasure for years, someone finds it and everyone is dissapointed.

#

Treasure needs value indicators.

#

So you can consider cost-benefit for finding a treasure. If the treasure is 1 mill credits, people may want to find it sooner than 100 creds.

lilac crane
#

Do you have any idea how close or far you are from your friends?

#

If you want to do that, you need a "treasure map"

fervent sedge
#

I mean no one has to do it.. would just be lost treasure.. they could all have expirartions so they dont sit out there for infinite

lilac crane
#

Which means 90% of treasures will not be found.

fervent sedge
#

it would be risk for the person burying it for the sake that others have fun

lilac crane
#

High risk, low benefit for others.

#

Have you ever found someone naturally, without help from a hub/civ or space anomaly?

fervent sedge
#

kinda the same idea as random people giving untis or other things at space stations or Nexus

#

but with extra steps

#

in the name of fun

#

no big deal if people dont like it

#

just a suggestion

#

a way for players to engage other players in the spirit of doing something fun

lilac crane
#

Then, why?

fervent sedge
#

fun

#

ways for players to connect

lilac crane
#

There are better methods for connecting.

fervent sedge
#

Yeah I agree

#

fun to have variety

#

What do you want added to the game?

lilac crane
#

For example, you can build a gigantic base on a planet and upload it, but unless you point towards it, nobody will ever find it unless its either hub/civ, onroute, or core. Latter 2 if lucky.

fervent sedge
#

yeah I understand, I think the idea of burying something for someone to find would need some promotion of sorts

#

like a message board on the internet

lilac crane
#

I would rather have the ability to share locations via items. You give an item to someone, they can turn it on/off like scanners, and it will point towards a place on the galactic map, then to a place on planet.

fervent sedge
#

they person burying it would have to be creative if they wanted anyone to find it

lilac crane
#

No, you share coords this way.

fervent sedge
dusky junco
#

I was thinking about adding an abandoned space station (in abandoned systems) filled with pirates, and if you liberate it you get tons of loot+reputation

#

Could work like before landing in it you gotta destroy it's defenses and stuff

naive orchid
#

Iā€™d like if we could put fauna discoveries weā€™ve found in the aquariums or the terrariums you can buy at the quicksilver synthesis companion. For example, if you were on a lush planet, and you found an interesting fish (that isnā€™t a whale or a shark-like creature) you could put it in the aquarium. Or if you found a cute small creature on a planet, you could put it in the terrarium.

naive orchid
#

Yeah! And it would be interesting if there were at least different variations of fish tanks you could buy. Like square box ones with different type fish, or massive ones that would take up a wall with dozens of fish and perhaps a narwhal creature of some sort. (That would be awesome. Hello Games if you see this please do it. I will make the best aquarium ever)

onyx fable
#

What if it being scanned and in your discoveries you could materialize them in your terrarium and aquarium?

#

@summer hatch

#

Yup yup! =)

Disveries should have more value

#

At least fauna and flora

They don't even show up as discovered by you

well, i've encountered something i could conceivably call a forest, i'm hoping small settlements are (leading to cities) are next

gloomy hazel
#

Anyone suggested UFO's as a thing for the future?. The idea of something mysterious we can chase occasionally but not quite get there (or it warps out when you get too close just to tease us). Maybe with a hint / galaxy map trail of one day finding its home unique planet, or even a very rare ufo mothership as a derelict, as a veeery long term achievement and another unique extended mission and unique decorations to add to the trophys' we can adorn our Freighter / bases with. Dont allow us to find the Mothership until we are near the Centre should be long enough. Something the game still needs is an extremely long term hook to help keep us searching the many systems for clues :). Mars attacks! stylee.

#

PS The derelict ought to be of epic proportions, 25-30 levels with unique Aliens guarding the place.

#

PS PS The start of this quest should not be Galaxy dependant, so those who have already got to the Centre and gone beyond would be able to experience it in the next, then nobody misses out on it šŸ™‚

#

And, the prize?, maybe the UFO star ship which was so elusive leading you to seek the Mothership.

#

Or maybe something mysterious, some unknown crashed ship (the UFO) with a huge backstory

gloomy hazel
#

Yep, however it starts doesn't matter, whether its an elusive UFO you get a glimpse of in space or a unique crashed one which kicks off a quest in your log which is going to take a very long time to achieve. Plus wherever the Mothership derelict is, make it randomly close to the centre of current Galaxy and not a fixed address people can pass around on reddit etcetera .. Make us earn it, so we dont get an Anomaly full of UFO Starships one week later. Flight characteristics / unique abilities are probably best for the devs to decide on.

mighty grove
#

hey, something that would be really cool to have is the ability to have livestock that will stay in your base. right now, you have to bribe local animals, but when you go to do anything else, they run away or despawn, so you need to sit here and watch. but like, the ability to have animal stalls, and have them permanently in the base would help out alot. milk is so hard to get in bulk, and as a donut farmer, this would help me tons.

it'd be nice to see the exocraft have better combat potential then just your jetpack. they have weapons, but in addition to them not really being vehicle-grade, they also have no shields and any damage taken goes directly to your unarmored health. Which is a shame, since there's no benefit tradeoff for lowering your mobility like that as it is.

I would love for the discoveries/maps to be more extensive, like you could bookmark coordinates on maps and maybe share them with friends. Iā€™d also like to be able to sort and search the list of systems and planets.

something a bit more like coffSporescoff Catalog

#

with the option to view and sort by Fauna, Flora, Scanned spacecraft. Because lets not kid around - a library of spacecraft models is what we want right?

#

I would like the ability to build a spacecraft. Like collect a bunch of resources, and craft ship parts like the wings, tails, engines, cockpits, anything. then assemble those parts into a full ship. then you upgrade it from scratch via the ship upgrader thing in the space stations. It would be very expensive but at least you have a ship that looks exactly the way you want it too!

Ok

#

Hear me out:

#

A replacement for the discovery page, the index page. It has lists of all the systems planets and POIs visited, all fauna and flora discovered, and all ships and multitools encountered. You can pin anything there and the game will guide you to it. Waypoint beacons become uploadable, when you chart all of them on a planet, a planetary map with terrain and POIs is created for you and other players to use, also uploadable.

how would you even sort somethng like that when theres over a million worlds been discovered across 255 galaxies?

#

The game is SO big that its impossible to catalog the database

#

thats the thing with this game being procedural - it has no limits

#

it will keep on generating stuff for as long as you play it

#

they reckon theres enough to explore that it would take someone over 750 years to see just euclid alone.......

#

Elite:dangerous is limited to a one to one scale of our actual galaxy, and they once calculated that if every single person on the planet played the game 24/7 they could maybe discover everything in the galaxy within 250 years

# sterile frost How do you think currrent discoveries are stored in 50 mb

Thats not exactly true. They arent stored on your system entirely. They are stored for upload typically and only the minimal amount of info necessary. A thumbnail and some text. But the more you discover and if you play offline the worse your system would run because the game would require more space to run. This would not be ideal. Also multitools and ships are not "catalogued" anywhere for you to see as is except when connected to your character so that would add another layer of info. If you chose to play online this "index" would become even larger. This could be done but would be something not quite like u r wanting. My suggestion:
Go old school...find something u like.. take a pen and paper and write down the system and planet name also could make a base computer there because you can teleport to bade computers. It takes 30 chromatic metal and you can name the BC

do you think they'll ever add ship customization? it would be cool to be able to get the parts of each ship and when you get the ones you want you can build your own ship.

#

also increase the amount of ships you can own

visual cloak
#

in some way shape or form, yes

#

I figure if HG are working on that kinda update, they're also working on how to strike a balance so they can please the ones who want to customize but also the ones who like playing to discover new ships through rng

#

giving the player the ease of being able to choose any generative part cheapens the whole experience and removes the experience we have on our journey

#

so there'd need to be a fun, new way to explore and discover unlockable ship parts/colors/textures

#

and by fun, i don't mean putting ship parts in the quicksilver shop

#

that's not fun

One really nice quality of life tweak that it would be nice to see is for conversations with aliens to go back to the menu after you've selected an option rather than having to restart the conversation each time you want to interact with them.

warm lion
#

Technically a ship builder already exists in the game.

#

It just doesn't have a user interface.

#

Every time we go to a system. It also generates the ships. The ships aren't entered in a fixed configuration, but rather, a seed is hashed, and it spits out different components for the ship, slaps it together, and assigns it to the system's ship roster.

#

So, the technology for a ship builder exists.

merry spade
# visual cloak in some way shape or form, yes

to have both customization and the exploring part we could scrap the ships and choose one of the parts that the ship has. maybe they'll find another way to do it, but quicksilver isn't fun at all

muted verge
#

I feel like we need to be able too have more ships, yeah 6 is a good amount, but having 6 ships I really like, and then I see another I want thats better than like a few I like, I have to then decide which ship to abandon for the new ship, and having more starships wouldn't be overpowered in my opinion, it would just allow us to have more diversity along our ships

#

And if they added more ship customization, like changing parts and everything, having more ships would allow for ppl too have normal ships and some of their own personal creations to again, allow for more diversity and utility along our ships

keen glen
#

Another good move would be to create a way to turn unwanted Salvaged Frigate modules into random freighter upgrades.

rotund stratus
#

I have an idea for a middle ground involving ship customisation

#

Keep customisation to normal ship types completely minimal (colour and decals at the most)

#

BUT

#

Create a new ship type (maybe make it nexus themed or something) that's entirely modular and customisable

#

So you keep ship hunting, and get to customise ships without devaluing people's finds

zenith aurora
# visual cloak I figure if HG are working on that kinda update, they're also working on how to ...

I imagine they could implement a system where you unlock the ships parts by owning the ship with those parts. Only by owning the ship will you be able to ā€œlearnā€ everything about it to be able to craft the parts. And in order to craft the parts, you could feed the resources into a construction bay on your capital ship, and it will then take time (like the fleet expeditions) to complete the single part. Then that part is stored in the bay and you can then craft another. Once all parts are constructed, you then can assemble them in the bay via a menu than shows you all the parts in stock and visually displays what they will look like on your ship. Bear in mind that this whole process could be very expensive. Once the ship is completed, you could have to upgrade itā€™s class and storage from scratch.

visual cloak
zenith aurora
#

Yeah timers have their place. Expeditions and ship construction makes sense to have a timer cuz it takes time to travel that far or craft something that large. I could even see them making the bay visually show the part being 3D printed.

and then when you rip out the engine you have a ship in your arsenal that can't fucking fly

Kind of wish they'd do something more interesting than gold. I'd be more excited for reskins as further future rewards if the customisation was something cooler, like unique themed colour schemes, or exclusive parts not found in the current part pools

zenith marten
#

They would have to get rid of a global water level on planets and change it to something else

#

fluid physics might be out of question due to how players can interact with the terrain

#

last gen would literally end up freezing in certain situations and higher end hardware would stutter quite a bit. Also syncing that would be a pain

#

Still, rivers and waterfalls would be a nice addition

visual cloak
#

at this point iā€™d think they would just add a nice flowing river/waterfall shader with splashy particle effects

#

this way they can generate new river terrain

#

and if they do add river terrain, i hope theyā€™re thinking about the variation that could come with it

#

harsher rivers with rocks and more white water, clear water with large rock walls, erosion, smaller creeks

#

ohhh underground rivers too

Yeah they could generate rivers using paths and place streams like are present in skyrim

I'm still suspecting this one to be more combat focused, given we got the Normandy. Genetic manipulation for plants and trees like we got with companions would be nice, along with planting food crops, but I don't think it'll fit the theme of the next one. More base building pieces without having to use mods would be good, too.

gloomy hazel
#

I still want more variation updates

brave plinth
#

They've been sneaking in more assets quietly btw

#

Some of it hidden in patch notes, others just added with no notice.

scenic furnace
#

I thought about it, and I think the game might work well with craftable starships like people want but rather than just let you build a ship with the existing assets and thereby removing the need to hunt for ships, they could add another interesting style which would be its own unique ship class, think living ships but you actually construct it to your liking with tons of variation possible but since it would only be a particular aesthetic it can still be an option that people might skip in favour of older ships

#

it could tie into main game progression too, like slowly building out a pretty competent ship that would be comparable to an exotic that the player can use as a jack of all trades master of none build

gloomy hazel
#

I think they should add special warp effects to when you warp with a freighter where a warp portal would open an the freighter would go through it like in elite dangerous

brave plinth
#

So just copy Elite Dangerous. Got it

gloomy hazel
#

No I mean something like ed

sullen grove
#

to be honest, elite dangerous seems like NMS' big brother

#

NMS has a better control scheme, but a lot of things NMS needs..ED has

#

Also i think "18 Quintilian planets" is a problem. there's not THAT many players in the game.. atlas should be rebooted, with a smaller, more manageable amount of planets

#

so they can make them more unique and focus on making stuff for planets

scenic furnace
#

That's absolutely against the whole idea of the game

zenith marten
#

people already struggle discovering new stuff around the expedition area

#

the game has so much unique and varied stuff as junk data lying around in there which I would rather see implemented. It could easily make planets very unique and varied

scenic furnace
#

The main selling point of the game is that the universe is so big that you can always have your own corner no matter what, be pleasantly surprised if you end up discovering someone else's, and with Expedition mode as Azure pointed out you get faced with the reality of what happens if you did have a small universe to work with

brave plinth
zenith marten
#

I find it silly how ED would be NMS' "big brother". NMS exceeds ED in many aspects except for the visuals of warping and the sense of danger during traversal

scenic furnace
#

Same thing with planets, the appeal of them is that HG did not hand craft them, the algorithm spat it out with just some numbers and math so you can find a planet that maybe someone might find a similar looking one but never an exact one

zenith marten
#

For example, NMS has far superior online and planetary traversal features than elite

scenic furnace
#

Your experience will always be unique no matter what

#

I don't think any other studio will be able to pull off what HG did without coming off as a copycat, or eventually resorting to hand crafting some planets or whatever

I hope they add more save slots and change the expeditions from their current FOMO approach. Having the ability to play back through an expedition would be pretty great, especially for new players who may not have time to complete the current expedition event. This would also be good for people who don't have time to spend in NMS during the relatively short/restrictive timeframe that an expedition is open.

I understand why Expedition #2 had to be short, especially since it does use another company's property, but it would be nice for new players down the line to have the opportunity to experience why an expedition event was such a big deal when it released

a Freighter observation deck would be so great for taking in all of these new stars. Also, how about a stable on your freighter?

I honestly think the game is probably one of the most enjoyable exploration type game I've ever played , although it would be cool if they added a way to explore the actual stars as well other than that seems like its a perfect game as many hours as countless people continue to put into It

late game freighter planet probe tech that displays biome probabilities in galactic map because šŸ¤· why not

#

ditch the planetary charts and on-foot signal booster in favor of exosuit signal booster tech that allows for POI scan from quick menu, similar to exocraft signal boosters albeit different scan options

ashen dock
#

Even better : allow us to use our frigates' "skills" from the freighter bridge. We could collect the money / resources from there or scan planets for POIs. I mean, landing on each one of them is tiring. I don't think anybody does it regularly.

It'd be nice if there was a way to basically transfer one ship to another. Take a ship you own and copy the inventory, modules, and slots over to a different ship that you own, losing the first one in the process.

I hope that the ability to transfer a freighter base from one freighter to another means that in the future we will be able to transfer a planetary base to another planet

Maybe a decent middle ground would be creating blueprints out of bases. Probably wouldn't be able to tag an entire base in a blueprint but could could divide a large one into several blueprints. Then it's a matter of having a fat stack of resources in your inventory to place the saved blueprint somewhere else

#

Hopefully they add the ability to have multiple player freighters in system at once. Playing with my friends is a serious chore because we all base out of our freighters and only one of us can access our stuff at a time. It's a really unpleasant experience, especially in survival mode.

#

Either that or let us access our container inventories via freighter storage rooms on one friends freighter.

2 updates that I would love to see for NMS is a combat update and a space exploration update. In the combat update they improve the PVP of the game and for the space exploration update they allow you to fly your space ship through space to other stars if you don't want to fast travel. Similarly to how Elite Dangerous does it. It would also be cool if you could go to stars and stuff

I think it would be cool if people could leave messages or donate quicksilver/units to a bases base computer. Sometimes I come across amazing bases and wish I could leave a simple "You're base is awesome" somewhere that is not a communication station.. or leave a tip of some sort for all the work they put into it.

#

Also it would be really awesome if they figured out how to make bases pieces appear at the same time instead of the piece by piece loading that happens sometimes/alot of times

Iā€™m unsure if you can do this by pointing at a creature, I havenā€™t really gotten that to work if you can, but regardless an easier way to force your pet to attack would be nice, right now they only seem to attack creatures that try to hurt you, and only when they hurt you. If youā€™re being swarmed and get hurt by one hostile enemy, theyā€™ll only go after that enemy and then go back to being idle when itā€™s dead, which is kinda annoying-

Update/Content wishlist:

  1. Have big settlements in planets with more traders and quest givers.
  2. More quest variety
  3. More random structures
  4. Planets with multiple biomes
  5. Add more sentinel varieties.
  6. Add super rare boss like fauna
  7. More ship customization
  8. More player cosmetics
  9. Have melee weapons
  10. Be able to walk inside ur starship
  11. Freighter battles
  12. Fishing
  13. Take on quests/bounties that require you taking down an outpost of pirates located in a planet (would be super fun doing it in co-op)
  14. Huge caves with ancient structures inside like dungeons.
  15. More materials, ingredients, and items.
  16. PLAYER DRIVEN MARKET!! (Good example is Escape From Tarkovā€™s Flea Market, would need to rework money making methods tho)
  17. Be able to land on asteroids
  18. Physical suns
#

Just some ideas

Bigger flyable ships with possible to walk inside(would be so awesome to design it)

Ayo hear me out... if the anniversary update adds to the main story (I think it's not over yet), I think a great ending would be Artemis coming back as a vision or hallucination and speaks to your character, then speaks to you, the player and tells you that were not alone in the universe.

(This future idea involves spoilers about the center of the galaxy)
Reaching the center of the galaxy ||has lost most of its value/luster since Origins.||

#

||Consider the following suggested change:||
|| - Player warps through center of galaxy||
|| - Once arrived, the player receives an unknown distress signal||
|| - At the signal location is a wild Base Computer||
|| - The BC is similar to the base archives recovery, except this one was "glitched" partway through a pre-Next base reconstruction||
|| - The player can choose to "clear corrupted module", claim the BC, and allow it to continue reconstruction||
|| - BC becomes marked as a mission location instead of an owned base||
|| - Over the next few days, the BC procedurally constructs a new base using a seed value tied to the character in some way (ie. active ship or multitool, etc).||
|| - Each day, the player can return to see the current features of the build||
|| - Player can choose to end reconstruction at any time and "unlock" the base for their own customization||

#

There was not a nice way to spoiler tag that tbh

It's possible to have a more intelligent fauna in the future? I mean, something like a primitive society maybe with a rudimentar language?

#

I mean there would be no purpose to that other than ā€œoh cavemenā€ (or caveliens)

#

But still a good idea

manic forum
#

Well, the core of NMS is the "oh, a thing"

vale hornet
#

What about like you ship hunt for ships with parts that u like then scrap them and are able to take the part combine parts to make a customized ship this would mean ship hunting would still exist and maybe make ships more procedural so finding cool parts would be like finding cool fauna

#

Hereā€™s an feature Iā€™ve wanted to see for a while. Allow players to upload a blueprint of their base so other players can download them and use them.

lofty monolith
#

but I think the coolest thing they could add to the game now would a para-glider module for the exosuit and hook-shot module for multitools, it would give a whole different way of exploring planets, plus we could use that para-glider when our jetpack fuel runs out.

I wish there was some sort of PVP event where there is two freighters and tons of players in a star system battling it out, and this would all happen within an active star system so you could just be in a planet then see two freighters appear and a skirmish happening while your on the planets surface.

#

It'd be really cool not gonna lie.

#

also it'd be nice to be able to be an actual space pirate like imagine a freighter with high level loot passing by a star system and you are able to attack it and hijack the freighter to steal it's items.

#

Also an actual faction system would be cool, like teaming up with a large group of players to dominate star systems or invade other star systems for resources and power.

digital zealot
#

the thing holding pvp back imo is that u lose inventory when u die, if u die twice u lose it permanently

#

like i sometimes wanna troll friends and rain down infraknife from my ship to them on the ground

#

but i couldnt cause they'll lose inventory

#

and losing inventory can sometimes be buggy and glitch out and never get ur inventory back

#

which would really sucks

balmy laurel
#

Something I think would be really cool is, if npcs could fight in person, if pirates (or even other players) could attempt to board and loot your freighter (it may work with bases as well, Iā€™m not sure) and you have to defend it. You could also have a new station where you could buy and upgrade freighter defences (Iā€™m thinking specifically onboard defences, but I guess you could also have one for external defences e.g. extras turrets, missiles, maybe even drones and a shield of some kind?) which may consist of: retractable cover for your character to hide behind, turrets and drones like the ones I think you can find on some derelict freighters, and maybe even other defenders, be them crew mates or robotic soldiers.

I donā€™t know how much of this would be viable, if any, but it seems like it would be a fun idea.

Hey all! Please don't mind me while I put a few ideas down I had... came hunting for this server with this in mind šŸ™‚ - what a great community NMS is! Love it! Been playing for years now, and I really love what Hello Games has been doing with NMS. I nominate this game for labor of love everytimeit comes up on Steam.

Just a couple features I thought would be really cool and hopefully I'm not alone šŸ˜… !

**Multi-crew Ships **---
I really think this might be the most important one out of my random ideas. For friends & family who enjoy playing together but have different skill levels when it comes to gaming, Multi-crew ships have been a god-send in cooperative gameplay in some other games I've played.

Options for Harder Gameplay - More endgame content
More endgame content. The Derelict Freighters are awesome, but not very challenging. (Maybe also a game difficulty mode that has the same difficulty as perma-death, but with the perma-death?) Or allow difficulty selection in normal mode?

Boats & Fishing (alien style?)
Sailboating & Fishing has been a pretty large part of many MMOs. I would LOVE to be able to build a sailboat on my paradise planet that I put so much effort into selecting the one with the right details... Being able to take a few friends fishing on it and maybe drinking a few virtual brews while doing so could be really enjoyable.

Proper player groups (guilds/clans/fleets)
Honestly, this probably isn't necessary, but seemed like it would allow for group owned and cooperatively built colonies (maybe player owned stations too!) with permissions for different parts of constructions / resource donation / etc... . **Basically, players running missions together isn't enough - there needs to be more group oriented tasks that a group of 3-6 players can stake their claim on and have something permanent to show for when they're done.

#

More Depth to Manufacturing
Like the ability to chain gas / mineral extractors to refineries (maybe also chained together) to allow for automatic production of higher level materials. Possibly allow for the random manufacturing of ships / freighters / multitools / upgrades -- other items used by players (or higher level items that maybe involve new features or were exclusively obtainable from Nexus missions) rather than mostly stuff to be vendored. (Having supply chains from different planets feeding to a "home base" via portal would be pretty awesome too!)

Player market board
To give more purpose to manufacturing mentioned above - allow players to sell to eachother, maybe just at a few core systems in each galaxy. Allow the selling of manufactured goods as well as raw materials on the Market Board for players who don't want to waste time farming a bunch of base materials.

this is at galactic hub which is an entire region filled with colonized systems where people live right next to each other etc

Outside of core gameplay improvements, my number one wish is something I've been asking them for years now: Extend the day-night cycle to something far beyond 20 minutes. It doesn't make sense to have planet-sized planets and not have day-sized days. Having a small window of time to wander around in the daylight is frustrating, and beautiful sunsets are exceptionally fleeting. MMOs get this and most have day-night cycles in the hours, not minutes.
