On June 1st I woke up at 445am to a guy screaming “FIRE! GET OUT OF THE BUILDING! THERE’S A FIRE!!”

Immediately I could smell burning carpet. My wife and I raced to put clothes on and opened the door to the hall of our apartment. We were met with a solid wall of smoke. Not thinking and in a panic I ran out without taking a breath. I inhaled a lot of smoke, I had never experienced anything like that. When I got outside I could see the flames engulfing the west side of the building. It looked like the gates to hell.

After an hour we were told our unit was not fire damaged, but would not be livable any longer due to smoke damage and water damage. My wife and I were left without a home.

My dad decided to let us stay in his garage for the time being. On Friday the 20th, we were finally able to move into a new unit. I have finally been able to plug my pc in and play this game. 3 weeks isn’t a long time to go without playing I suppose, but when shit like this happens I think time feels a lot slower. Anyways I’m super happy to be back. This game is bringing me some normalcy back into my life (:

As NMS now has crossplay I think we (as a community) could make a city planet similar to Coruscant. Players from all the Galaxy would be able to gather there, interact with others and build the most intricate projects to impress their neighbours.

I’m thinking of doing a survey or something so the community can vote for the best type of planet to do this project, the location, etc. 🙂

Anyone interested? Ideas?

Of course the game isn’t perfect by any means and you may say “well they promised this, this, and that. So we’re just getting what was owed”

But

It would be very easy for them to have said “this is the full game” and make the base building, living ships, etc as DLC

It would also be easy for them to jump on the loot box train “play online every day to receive a loot box” etc

Most indie devs do that, or just leave the game as is all together.

So I for one definitely have to commend them for doing not only what’s right and catching up with the promises, but also producing more content that we never expected.

That is exactly what game development should be. Especially with such a small team. This is truly the only AAA game I can think of in recent memory that hasn’t taken the easy way out.

So give em a break, sure keep the suggestions coming, but I for one accept the game as is and honestly would rather see them put further efforts into something completely different – a new game that will continue to push out the garbage money grabs that most games have become.

So Hello Games I absolutely thank you for pushing the trend in the right direction, keep it up.
