Hello there

I love No Man’s Sky, and I think it’s incredibly rich in content. I’m just over 300 hours into the game and have completed all the challenges/accomplishments. However, I still want to play it, but every time I do, my gaming sessions come to a halt rather quickly, due to a lack of objectives.

That’s why I’ve had this idea in my head for a while, where No Man’s Sky could make its universe more lively and dynamic by creating more indirect interaction between players.

Let me explain: my idea is simply to create an in-game Guild system to bring communities together under a single banner.

Then, a guild would have to be able to conquer a star system, by destroying specific targets on the ground or in space. By default, these systems would be defended by the npc and then by the conquering guild.

These defenses could be strengthened/improved by the guild players’ investment of resources/money.

There could be a guild experience level per player, with guild rewards (similar to current community rewards).

I know that No Man’s Sky is not a PvP / war game. However, Hello Games continues to develop and improve combat and space battles. What’s more, it wouldn’t be direct frontal PvP, but more indirect, a bit like Ogame.

And the No Man’s Sky universe is vast enough to be enjoyed outside any guild-controlled zone.

I’d be curious to see how many systems a guild would be able to conquer.

I wonder if many of you would appreciate this feature in the game?

So, I started playing back in like 2017 or 2018. I’ll play a few months then drop it for a few months and come back and start a new save… rinse and repeat. Today, for the first time ever, I’ve seen the Personal Refiner M.K.2… when the hell did we get this MASTERPIECE?!?! Lol. Just wanted to come and say “THANKS HELLO GAMES!” Lol. Days of waiting at my medium/large refiners is OVER! Lol

I bought this game in anticipation for the VR2 launch and it has blown me away from day one!

Even before the new graphics update it was my favorite game purely for the insane depth and freedom of gameplay.

I know I’m late to the party but I’m 40 hours in and can’t get away from it.

After watching a bunch of flat screen videos of the game I feel like fans of this game are missing out in a massive way by not playing in VR.

Man, when you make that first planetary approach in VR…it’s like, ok.. THIS is the stuff I dreamed about with my mates in 1989 while playing Sonic and Mario.

THIS is what I paid for.

Hello Games…I salute you!

I guess you could say I’m an OG NMS player. I had preordered the game, as it was one of my most hyped games back in the day. Like most people who played on release, I was a bit confused and underwhelmed upon first booting up the game; it was nothing like the pre-release footage (I know, old news at this point). Even still, I clocked in around 50 hours, as I was able to find some enjoyment in its simplicity, and could see potential in it (and perhaps I hoped to discover more depth hidden somewhere).

After those initial 50 hours, I uninstalled and didn’t touch it again until the Pathfinder update. I messed around a little, liking the improvements, but ultimately moved on again after about 10 hours. It wasn’t until the Next update that I tried again, and this is where I really started to see some of that initial potential shining through.

All of this is to say, I am just now coming back to the game all these years later. It is absolutely astonishing how much this game has evolved. I started a new save, wanting to experience the game how we all wish it had launched, and I’m loving it. HG have added SO MUCH to this game, it’s honestly a bit overwhelming. Playing NMS today vs the launch version is one hell of a trip, let me tell you. The ability to make bases ANYWHERE you want, and the massive amount of base customization now compared to Foundation…the new planet types…the fact there are now actual deep oceans, and you can even build underwater…the improved cave systems…the look & feel of space, and the improved combat depth…the vehicles and mechs…the improved land combat and sentinels…the new fauna types…the expanded crafting…there is just SO. MUCH.

I honestly don’t even know the point of this post, other than to say this game always has had a special place in my heart, and playing it in its current form is one hell of a ride. This is one of those games I’ll probably never uninstall again. I can’t even put a finger on why I love this game so much…there’s just something…special about it. It gives me a inexplicable feeling when I play it. It’s like a warm mug of coffee on a Winter’s morning.

Thanks, Hello Games. You did right by us players. I can’t wait to see where you take NMS next.

Anyway, sorry for the long-winded post, and thanks for reading!
