So, way back in Permadeath I found this Freezing Hell near the core of Calypso, so far nothing special right. But, the place had open ocean and I thought about building a small fishing boat right then and there. So now, in normal mode I did. So what is so special about it? First of all, the nearest places to land were this two pieces of rock located 2000 and 2500 units away, there is nothing out there. Also, the sounds are pretty eerie and there is some growling coming from the ocean, somewhere near my ship. So this is my fishing ship, named it The Orca… turns out quite convenient actually. Now, with the nightfall and storms, things get quite different, a lot. Most of these actually hit quite close to the ship, but that’s nothing. Think I’m gonna need a bigger boat… If you ever encountered a sea worm in the middle of nowhere, you will know it’s quite a sight. I’ve seen tons of them on the land and kinda got used to them, this one was quite a surprise. So, in part it’s the planet, in part the location if figured I’d try and build my boat… Anyway, figured I’d share. Built this in normal mode. Took me a while to find the damn planet again. submitted by /u/nightshift_syndicate |

Though the community is so wide and ranging in play styles thanks to this brilliant games’ design, I shout from my tiny hilltop in the corner; The frigates with their empty interiors and invisible walls in front of sealed doors, the capital ships visual presentation starting to look outdated compared to the rest of the game, still lacking a sense of crew, and retaining technical bugs and issues, all reaching back to when it was introduced around 2017, going on 4 years ago.
In my humble opinion, it’s time, Hello games.
It’s time.
(which is not to say they haven’t relatively optimized the experience aboard them, HG has certainly put in time on that front)

Honestly, I’ve played Facebook “City Sim” games with more depth and interactivity.
They bring literally nothing to the table except a time and resource sink with no real return or fun.
Nothing you build can be interacted with or do anything unique, except the “Starports” which require you to pay materials to build a roof, but then just turn out to be a single “Alternative” landing pad that random ships can land on, and have no roof in sight
Nothing you build creates related items that can be harvested, or sold. Markets are completely empty and don’t house traders. The hazard control building is literally just an empty 1×1 box that doesn’t do anything or cause your settlement to act differently if their are hazards. Every building is filled with storage items and nothing else. No unique living quarters.
All the buildings are literally just made from the players base building kit and are incredibly uninspired and pop up with no structure or thought to pathways and lane flow. Citizens just amble around doing absolutely nothing except looking at data pads, hovering 4 feet above the places they try to sit, and have the least inspired Sims style mood indicators that also cant be changed or interacted with and have no actual meaningful purpose.
The output materials your base generate are randomized, un-customizable, and have nothing to do with the building you build or the citizens you hire and they accrue incredibly slowly at rates that make worthless for selling or building.
My base has a Jelly Donut Farm as a status modifier. Is there a farm? No. Is there a restaurant? No. Is there a chef npc somewhere I can talk to to buy donuts from? No. Does it switch Settlement production rewards to donuts for me to sell or eat? No.
Settlements are ugly, hollow, shells that sit around and wait for arbitrary decisions that cost you both resources and hours of your life as it can take up to 4 hours per tier of a building to complete, with each building having 3 tiers. 12 entire IRL hours and decent amounts of resources to build a landing pad that isn’t even a unique asset, that I can plop down in 6 seconds in base building mode for like 25 pure ferrite.
It feels so under-baked, it’s basically raw.
But thanks for the base building overhaul I guess… even though its incredibly buggy now, it was a semi-thoughtful overhaul but still left the base building at “Pretty much pointless after a certain progression and lacking decorative assets.

So here’s what I was thinking. You can hire an NPC to your squadron from any space station for example, right? Now what happens if BEFORE hiring them I buy their ship by swapping it with one of my ships that I would be scrapping otherwise? Will I get THAT ship to join my squadron?
Obviously it depends on the pilot too how well they will do in a fight, but this way I could have a squadron made up of Living Ships or fully equipped Sentinel Interceptors, right? Or, in theory I can claim the Starborn Runner as many times as I want if I’ve finished the expedition, can I just keep selling a Starborn Runner by swapping with them AND hire said pilot equipped with the Starborn Runner now? Can I have a full squadron of them?
I’ll test this out soon with a sentinel that I’d scrap otherwise and get back to you, but if this works I think it is huge, so much potential to create an amazing fight squadron this way!

Circa, 2020 (Colorized) Took this when I got back into the game during lockdown, still think its one of my best screenshots to this day. submitted by /u/ShelterJolly8 [link] [comments]

I missed out on a lot of great stuff, not playing the first several Expeditions. Here in the NMS Reddits, I saw lots of talk about freighters. Naturally I got curious about them. I chose one, then learned that there are two basic classes of freighters. The very common System Freighters, and there are a bunch to choose from. Then, there are the Capital Freighters. Now comes in three flavors, Sentinel, Venator and Pirate Dreadnought. I have flown in all three, and now, in each of their variations. Though, until today, never even one ‘S’ Class.
I was doing the time pulsing my starship around trying my best to scare up just one Organic Frigate. I went to my Pirate freighters bridge, thought better of taking my Capital ship in first, and short teleported to the Hangar Bay, jumped into a new Sentinel starship, launched, then opened the Galaxy Map. I chose a nearby Pirate controlled system. And, jumped. Arrived smack in the middle of a big battle, with a Pirate Dreadnought attacking a big Venator Resurgent freighter. Aw, why not… I flew right to the rear of the Pirate, shot up all its warp engines, then eased up into the Shield Gen channels, blew all of those out, got the message to go get or destroy the Pirate ship….as usual, ya have to dock in its landing bay just to see what class it is and all that. I did, saw it was a C and that one lost out instantly. I flew out and shot it to bits. Then, just for giggles, I thought to check out that big ol Resurgent. I have two in other saved games, but alas, never an S Class. When I landed, I used F to check the deck for its info. What?! An S class??!! COOL! I exited, called in my Pirate Freighter, landed back in the Resurgent, ran up to the command deck (it’s forward!) (ha!) and I was gonna buy it outright. BUT the game has other ideas. It let me trade mine for this one. Oh gee, a B class loaded up at 193 millions for this S class at 23 millions? HECK YES IT’S A DEAL! Units. Nanites. Quicksilver. I gots them! I now also have a lovely S Class Resurgent level Venator type Freighter! FINALLY! I HAVE ONE! Yeah all it takes is just stumbling on one, lucky as THAT! LOL! Thanks for listening in folks, this was fun!
I finally GOT ONE! Yaaaay ME! :oD
