Coming into No Mans Sky from the wonderful universe of Elite Dangerous, I’d never heard much good(any, really) about NMS. And i’d like to preface this with a Dont Get Me Wrong I Love Elite.

But holy freakin crap is this game a nice change of pace. Do yall know what i had to do to get a fleet carrier in elite dangerous?! Christ on a pancake. I got a little A-class freighter for free in NMS at my third system in my first playthrough. You know what i got in my third system in Elite Dangerous? TRAUMA.

Landing on planets and being able to interact with the terrain, however buggy and simplistic and perhaps not as dynamic as we’d like, is quite simply mindblowing.

And can i just say what a DELIGHT it is to hop around these galaxies??!! Im in a crappy little fighter with a SEVEN HUNDRED LIGHT YEAR JUMP RANGE. AND IT DOESNT HAVE TO CHARGE FOR 15 FRICKIN MINUTES.

Honestly. Great game. Glad to be here. Thanks for having me.

Oh and can i say just how freaking lovely it is to run into other players on a regular basis who want to wave and say hi, instead of blow up my ship to satisfy some inner sociopathic tendencies.

Thanks Hello Games.

You can also drop a quick tip!

Tip #1: Always try to be doing multiple things. Pick up the portable refiner so you can refine something from your inventory while exploring and mining.

Tip #2: Avoid multiplayer until unlocking the anomaly, can be stranded if not.

Tip #3: Exotic worlds only have 1 fauna so it’s easy to scan all of them.

Tip #4: Need glyphs? All 16 are on one planet here

Q- “I was on the Anomaly and a bunch of expensive stuff showed up in my inventory. What do I do with it? A:” Congrats! Another player has bestowed you with a gift. Most likely it is an item to sell for some quick and easy cash. Usually the item description will tell you what it is used for.

Q: “Help, I claimed a broken ship and now I can’t find my starter ship! Is it gone forever?” A:” If you merely selected to “claim” the broken ship and not “swap” it, then your old ship is still around. If you left it with launch fuel in the tank, you can summon it with the quick-menu. If it does not have fuel, it can be summoned on the Anomaly (once you unlock it), your freighter (once you acquire one).

Q- “Are crashed ships worth repairing?” A-” Unless it is an exotic, no. Scrap the ship at the space station, sell the items it gives you, and use those units to buy a better, working version of a ship in that system.

Q- “Any advice for new players?” A-“For new players, make sure you read the guide in-game. It’s an excellent beginner’s guide for traveling, learning about the alien races, building, and etc. Take a look over the catalogue of items too. Also, I’d strongly suggest mining a massive amount of carbon, oxygen, and sodium. These three items will be some of your most used and critical items in the game
