I was just minding my own business when I noticed a bunch of players sitting down in front of the nexus. I decided to join them since I wasn’t really in much of a rush. To my surprise, someone named Crow sent me items that amounted to a big amount of units. I’m new to the game, so I’ve never held so much cash at any point in time.

I thanked him and went on my way. The next time I came back, I noticed a lone traveller sitting in front of the Nexus. I thought to keep them company because everyone deserves a friend, even if it’s just for a little while. I went AFK to get some water, but when I came back, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was Crow! I knew because there was a string of messages saying that he gave me another generous package.

I’m new, so I don’t really have much yet, and I haven’t had too many MP experiences, but this is a great indicator for me that the people in No Man’s Sky are good.

I don’t interact with like 50% of the games content anyway so if something optional like shipbuilding will make me upset I can just ignore it like I ignore pets and farming and auto miners and literally any space combat. I haven’t played the update yet but the one thing that I do hope for is for unmodified naturally generated ships be unmarked while visually customized ships have some kind of tag in the UI. But if not it’s not a big deal.

✅ Sean posted the emoji.

✅ Internal Steam branch was updated.

✅ Just now the game is 50% off on one of the platforms… most likely it’ll be 50% off on other platforms as well.

✅ It’s a Wednesday.

All the usual signs are now here that we’re most likely getting the new update today!
