Take some time to tour your current batch of star system’s freighters. Fly around, dock with them, and check out their “bases” – there are some really unique ideas in play for the procedurally-generated layouts. I found one last night that totally inspired me. I was actually kind of shocked. Way at the back of one of these bases I found a solitary ladder. It went up several floors, and ended in a single room with doors on all four sides. Outside? A massive exterior area, with walkways that let you look down through the windows into the freighter’s main bridge. It was really amazing.

I’ve also found NipNip grow rooms, and complete kitchen areas, with multiple cooking stations you can, um, “raid” for rare cooking ingredients.

This has now become one of my favorite things to do, usually right before I leave a star system for good, for the most part. Some really cool stuff lurking in NMS now in the distant, hidden places we kind of take for granted (system freighters).
