No Man's Sky, Psychedelic 70s Spaceship Art & Me: A Photo-Heavy Love Letter

No Man's Sky, Psychedelic 70s Spaceship Art & Me: A Photo-Heavy Love Letter

When I was six or seven years old, I checked out a copy of Terran Trade Authority: Spacecraft 2000 – 2100 AD by Stewart Crowley and paintings by Colin Hay (1978). This book rocked my world. It wasn’t just that it was filled with gloriously psychedelic paintings of spacecraft by Colin Hay: It also featured commentary and backstory about those ships. My brain was set on fire!

Fast forward to 2021: I’m a middle aged guy, but I still love spaceships. I stumbled across some NMS screenshots on Reddit, and decided to buy a new Xbox just so I could play this amazing looking game. Everything that I loved about that old book I live in NMS: Piecing together an understanding of alien civilizations through narrative snippets, mysterious alien relics, and the shattered skeletons of wrecked freighters whether they’re half-buried in an ancient landscape or drifting in the cold vacuum.

I finally got my living ship, which has proved to be the climax of an incredible experience. When I first saw it through the neon orange and green clouds of a radioactive superstorm, I was floored. Not only is my ship a color pattern that I wanted, but none of the screenshots I had seen previously did the color-shifting organic shapes justice. Looking around in the cockpit, I was especially tickled by the biological vents spewing a breathable atmosphere for me.

Love at First Sight

It hit me when I was flying around taking photos of my ship — NMS has captured and recreated the visuals and atmosphere of those old 70s psychedelic space ship paintings I loved so much.

I do fly my living ship (named Ikizukuri), but I finally found my “keeper” end game ship in Eissentam. I’ve loved that the NMS community shares coordinates for cool ships, but it was really important to me (and fun) for me to spend the time finding the exact ship I wanted for myself. I’ve included coordinates for this ship in the attached screenshots, in case anyone playing in Eissentam wants to grab it. I’ve still got a lot more pimping/customization to do on my exotic (named Anima), which is itself a lot of fun. I’m optimizing it for maneuverability and hyperspace range — they’re currently sitting at 877.3 & 2,709.0, which is a good start.

Long story short — I freaking love this game, since it lets me bring those old 70s psychedelic spaceship paintings I loved as a kid to life. I’m 200 hours in, and there’s still a lot of Eissentam to explore!

Question weapon technologies with Sentinel Pillars

Probably a dumb question, however I just wanna know how this works before I commit to doing this.

If you find a MT(multi-tool) at a sentinel pillar could you build and upload a base to servers near that pillar for people to grab the MT, or would it be a thing of once someone grabs that multi-tool its just gone and can not be gotten by anyone else? Just wanna know if it’s better to do the base thing or just share the glyph codes for the planet in which I have found a B-Class royal MT.

Any way to get these storage boxes level?

Any way to get these storage boxes level?

So I’m trying to put down the storage boxes. However, no matter what I try, they always end up being slightly misaligned when I use the snapping function. I already excavated the ground away underneath and placed a floor for them to sit on. What am I doing wrong?

I'd really appreciate some kind of "vault" for MTs and ships.

I’m a collector, and I like keeping unique things. I have a couple of expedition ships, as well as the Atlas Staff from the last expedition. The staff and ships are not in my regular use pool of stuff, but getting rid of them appears to mean that I can’t ever get them back. At the expedition rewards vendor, all these things say “previously claimed.” which I’m assuming means they’re one and done. With such a small number of ships and MT’s that we’re able to keep (relative to the massive number of cool looking stuff you can collect.) I feel like a lot of very precious space is getting eaten up by keeping these unique things.

I feel stuck between a rock and hard place. I want to keep the cool looking unique stuff that I don’t think I can get back if I scrap, but I also would like more room.

Even if we can’t keep anything other than the most essential tech on them in “storage” I think it would be great if we had some way to keep more than just 6 MTs and 12 ships. For a game that’s primarily about seeing everything and discovering stuff, we don’t get much in the way of space for the things that matter.
