I’ve recently gotten this game to run on my PC again and though I’m once again loving the experience I’m already back to grinding my teeth over the UI spam that No Man’s Sky LOVES to do. Yes, it’s just holding one button to get rid of it. Yes, it’s for showing you information on the place you just joined. But it’s unbelievably annoying how it temporarily locks you out of certain controls when you’re trying to explore systems and doing frequent jumps, let alone having to deal with forced pirate encounters that already lock out your ability to pulse/warp/summon.

On the topic of UI spam, as someone who missed out on the second, third, and forth expansions, it’s also not fun to get a planet entrance message, then a planetary info message, then get an expedition complete all one after the other. No Man’s Sky is a wonderful game and it does a lot of things right but UI spam is not one of them. It would really be a nice little QOL change to allow us to disable it or make it far less intrusive.
