The exploration of NMS may its main draw and purpose, but I’ve always been someone who enjoys a good amount of butt-kicking while in space. And it feels like there just isn’t a lot there. You have…

​

-A few varieties of sentinels

-Predators that mostly act the same. Charge at you, get shot, die.

-A few types of aggressive plants

-Biological Horrors (I actually love these guys though)

-Pirates and Sentinel ships in space

​

Personally, I’d love to see more combat related content for those of us who live for the thrill of battle, be it in space or planetside. And with No Man’s Sky, I feel like there’s tons of possibilities. Especially with The Nexus and its co-op focus. I’m imagining things like

-Pirate Space Station Raids. First you have to disable their defenses with your ship, then you land inside them and fight your way through, securing loot along the way like rare resources, units, nanites, etc, with your ultimate goal being something like destroying or disabling the station’s core.

-Pirate Capital Ships/Freighters. Give us something big to shoot down!

-Planets with more aggressive wildlife. Stuff that’s akin to the biological horrors. Things that want you dead and make sure you know it.

-More sentinel types. Preferably between Quad and Walker class. I feel like things ramp up too quickly there.

Am I the only one who wants more stuff like this? Though I admit I haven’t explored Derelicts yet, which looks REALLY fun.
