I don’t interact with like 50% of the games content anyway so if something optional like shipbuilding will make me upset I can just ignore it like I ignore pets and farming and auto miners and literally any space combat. I haven’t played the update yet but the one thing that I do hope for is for unmodified naturally generated ships be unmarked while visually customized ships have some kind of tag in the UI. But if not it’s not a big deal.

So having played a number of multiplayer/MMO games, I have found that most player communities (especially veteran players) are not kind toward new players. For some there appears to be no greater joy than destroying some unsuspecting newb.

It was therefore a pleasant surprise when some random player gave me 150 mil worth of trade goods! While this may be nothing to a veteran player, for me it was hitting the lottery! Not sure who the player was but wanted to just generally say thank you to the community.

It seems that this is actually pretty common for No Man’s Sky. I can say it is a welcome change to usual player interaction I have experienced in the past.

BTW – Really like this game. Lots to learn though. And so much to explore.
