Unification Day is a semi-fan-made, semi-canon holiday based in the No Man’s Sky simulation.

Excerpt from a Distress Beacon at a Crashed Ship:

The logs reveal that the pilot was celebrating a festival known as ‘Unification Day’. Groups of similar minds, unable to meet but attempting to find one another, to claim worlds across time and space. Once a year their various alliances, federations, hubs, and empires united to remember all that they were, and could become in time…

This year, Unification Day is being organized by the Galactic Hub. That doesn’t mean it’s being hosted in our space, that just means I’m the one who is responsible for compiling the schedule and reaching out to participants.

So that’s what I’m doing! If you’re a member of a civilization, and you have any bases which would be suitable for hosting a Unification Day activity (minigame, PVP, racing, etc), let me know! I’ll also send you an invite to the Unification Day Council planning server.

My hyper drive is maxed and I’ve spent an hour now just warping along the expedition route. WHY?! This literally adds nothing to the expedition other than pointless time sink. Every 3 jumps I check the space station to see if there’s magically a station or base warp at R5 and there never is. ARGH

Haven’t player No Man’s Sky before, and I’m not into survival games. Subnautica is not my thing. I do love games like Skyrim, Cyberpunk and Witcher 3, but also space combat sims like Everspace 2, traditional X-Wing and Tie Fighter, Star Wars Squadrons, etc. I actually loved Starlink Battle For Atlas and I thought it looked like No Man’s Sky lite, although I never played NMS before.

I’m open to new experiences and love to let a game surprise me. I always was afraid of MMO’s but gave Elder Scrolls Online a chance and loved it, albeit only the single player story experience 🙂

It’s on Xbox Game Pass, which I have. So I wonder: will I enjoy this game? And if so, do you have any advice on how to get invested in any main campaign? Thanks!
