Ever since we got the ocean update it was great, but with some base ideas and opening my eyes the oceans suck. First of all there ridiculously shallow if your going to make a specific excoraft for being underwater give it purpose because everybody can just buy 1 or 2 S class oxygen upgrades and you completely defeat the reason for having the nautilon thats why hello games should make the oceans vastly deeper to give better places to build bases and to give the nautilon purpose.

Secondly improve the wildlife and plants underwater every time I for some reason go into the oceans of a random planet I always see the same godamn stone or prism underwater I know this happens on land and yes its annoying to see the same animal or rock all the time. For the wildlife I recommend hello games take a look at some animals from barotrauma or subnautica for the simple reason of how big and vast the creatures are but also because the creatures of both of these animals give a sense of genuine fear and to not go close to said creature but in nms jellyfish simply dont cut it.

I think another reason to add this is to think of the possibilities of having long forgotten sentinel archives or crashed freighters in a pitch black while a creature roars in the distance, mabey adding another exocraft for exploring the deep meanwhile the nautalon is designed for shallow operations.

Anyways that’s what I think could be tweaked or added in an update that I think lots of base builders and players would greatly enjoy what do you guys think?

I am IN LOVE with the low-orbit frigates flying over top of me. It never ceases to stop me in my tracks and jumping into my ship and flying next to one just makes me happy. It makes me feel like there’s an actual “world” going on around me, like the game is more “alive”. That addition brings me back to when the visuals for weather changed to being able to see a storm growing over us as we hear the “Warning: Incoming storm” and the first time I saw clouds building up I just stopped and watched it happen.

So. What other relativley small changes could Hello Games add to make our beloved space sim feel more Alive?
