I absolutely love hunting for Exotic Ships and especially the Squid Ship in the wild; watching out to see if one appears. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely LOVE the Living Ship and the Outlaw/Pirate Ships with their Solar Sails but I’d love to find some more exotic ones out in the wild – I was thinking what if they introduced “Anomaly Ships” or ships themed after glitched biomes?

I just don’t see the fascination with the Living Ships. Most (if not all) of them look like wriggling raw oysters.

Hatching them from an egg is tedious, getting upgrades for them is a giant pain the ass, and they are technologically inferior to their mechanical counterparts.

Just one travelers unpopular opinion.

I’ve been trying to get into the game on and off since it launched, and I thought today would be a good time to pick it up and try out this whole expeditions mode. Holy Fuck was I wrong. I spent a good hour trying to actually get my ship fixed because I kept getting buzzed by idiots shooting me and my ship with rockets. Finally get into space, I get blown to smithereens because apparently I cant have nice things. All this on top of NMS’s typical confusing and annoying UI and explanation of mechanics make it REALLY hard to try and enjoy what by all measures should be exactly my type of game.
