If you haven’t seen them yet, grab a pirate-hunting mission and check them out. Your space battles will feel twice as epic as they did yesterday.

To whoever at Hello Games decided to add this bit of greatness to a random patch on a Wednesday morning: Thank you.

Let me preface by saying that any new free content, on a game of No Mans Sky age, should be welcomed and appreciated…regardless of what’s entailed within it. So I am very appreciative of Hello Games continued support and development of No Mans Sky.

With that out of the way let’s get down to the reason behind this post. I am a day one player of NMS, and own the game on (3) platforms. I love where it started at ( yes even on day one amazingly ) and I loved almost all, if not all, content drops since.

Let’s be real though, NMS hasn’t really given its veteran community any substantial content in the last (2) content drops. Some would contend that expeditions are content, and sure they are, for those that enjoy expeditions….some don’t and I’m real big against time locked rewards of any kind…especially if those time locked rewards are pit behind tedious repetitive content walls.

I understand that Hello Games needed to address Switch players problems and bring that version into line with other versions, as well as PSVR, but what about is that have been around for years?

Ultimately limited content updates like this one will not keep me from playing one of the most impactful games of the last decade, but Id be remised if I didn’t say I was disappointed. We all love this game and want this game to continue to grow, let’s just hope that sooner than later we get an update that actually adds content for the vets still playing the game.

I’m playing this morning, cataloging animals, when I spot a Predator Diplo standing over two dead Grazer Diplos. Yeah I know, circle of life and all that; it didn’t stop me from killing the Predator anyway. Sometimes it just bothers me, maybe because the prey is often cute.

So three dead animals are sitting on the ice and snow and part of me thinks “I don’t like this, just leaving them out like this”. So through a combination of digging under them and Creating terrain over them, I effectively buried them.

I don’t think Hello Games ever thought about players doing that . . .
