Well I finally did it. Last night I found an extremely well rolled sentinel interceptor so I went all out and duplicated all of my best pulse engine mods and put them all on the super charged slots. Mind you these are just S-class mods and not X-class and I’m playing on Series X which is no slouch when it comes to performance. 3 super charged pulse drive mods and one super charged sublight amplifier. My ship is so fast it now breaks the games ability to load properly. It seems that extremely fast speeds somehow breaks the engines ability to properly load assets. For example if I pulse drive to a planet my ship can make it from the top of the atmosphere to ground level in only a few seconds but for some reason my console will now spend the next two minutes before it finally loads the blank terrain beneath me. Having a slower ship doesn’t create the same problem for some reason. I could imagine that installing well rolled X-class mods would make this problem even worse. I guess the moral of this story is that speed is only good up until your system craps out on being able to load the game properly at which point the wait time for loading offsets the time you saved traveling. Its funny that I have now had to downgrade my ship somewhat so it doesn’t break the game so badly.

Hey NMS community! As the title says, my friend group is looking for our next survival sandbox game to play and No Man’s Sky is popping up on our radar! After discovering all of the updates this game has undergone over the years, we are hopeful that this is something that we can all play together and put a bunch time into for the foreseeable future..

However;

We are aware that the game allows up to groups of 4 and after some light research on YouTube and Reddit, we are NOT quite sure what all that entails:

We see that 32 people can be in the same instance at a time on PC.. Does this mean we can all play with each other, build bases, quest together etc. in multiple groups of 4 (or less) at the same time?

In other sandbox-survival type games that we have played together thus far (Age of Conan, Ark, Terraria, Minecraft etc.) we had the freedom to pretty much play through those games together, interacting and doing objectives with eachother as a whole as much as we pleased.

So our main concern is are we going to be able to play most of the game together as a collective? Since we are pretty unfamiliar with how the game works and plays (we didn’t want to over-research on youtube and spoil the gameplay), we weren’t sure that, being such a large group, would we be relatively alienated from each other via the limited 4-man group sizes and if NMS is the type of game we are looking to play together as a full goon squad!

Thanks for any and all info guys!!
