I’m relatively new to this game (if 80 hours can be considered new), most of my time has been spent just messing around exploring – you know how it is. I have little story to tell.

Honestly haven’t had the best day today, went to a badminton tournament and felt pretty rough, didn’t play well etc. so as any sane person would do, I hopped on no mans sky when I got home.

Wasn’t expecting much, just looking to lose myself in space and found myself in the anomaly and completely out of the blue came a player by the name of “Craftyblock#2284 the undying”, didn’t say anything or invite me to a party but he gifted me 2 void Eggs. I thought there must be a mistake so I sent them back, he then proceeded to send me them back along with 10 others! TWELVE TOTAL! This might not seem like a lot to many but I don’t know the value and that wasn’t what mattered to me personally.

I had barely anything in return but I’d just completed a nexus mission so I handed over all my ancient bones as some form of “payment” if you can even call it that. He then continued to gift me stuff: an AI dreadnought fragment, 50 suspicious packets of tech and items worth 12 million units! I tried to invite him to my party but he didn’t accept, he simply said Yes! To my Thank you and left.

I don’t know if you are out there my friend but just know you made a man’s day, I don’t care about the items personally but the simple kind gesture made me go from having a pretty rough weekend to a much more wholesome one. As someone who has come across from the rocket league community (if ykyk lol) this made me realise just how good this community is. If you’ve managed to sit around and read this, have a wonderful weekend travellers! <3

Okay, so been playing this game for a few weeks now with some friends (on PS4) and the one thing that has kind of been annoying is when we want to travel to a new system to explore together.

I’m aware of the Anomaly method of allowing people in a group to instantly come to your system, but there doesn’t seem to be any way for a group to do this in game (as Freighters are subject to extreme problems and apparently not advised to be used as a taxi service)

The issue with this obviously being if people are in a group but in different systems, it could potentially be exploited and abused for quick easy travel for multiple people (yes I know, I managed to say that with a straight face despite portals and gateways being a thing).

So, that got me to thinking, how could it work, potentially if something like this were implemented. Starbases wouldn’t work because not every system has a starbase. But what about something that could be constructed and then deployed while in space, like a satellite?

A player deploys it, then the group each activate it, syncing them together and allowing the one who deployed it to set a jump destination based on the minimum jump distance range of the group.

This would allow groups to jump together to other systems, and be a fun little project for groups who enjoy building communities within the game.

That or, just, you know, if they fixed it so people could ride in freighters without getting glitched.
