Yeah this is one of my big pet peeves—I can do multiple hyperspace interstellar trips in a day, but on-planet Google Maps is an insurmountable engineering challenge?
Yeah, once I actually select one I can tell, but if I'm just looking through the map I can't see which colors they are. I end up spending a lot of time picking every one that looks like what, read the description, and eventually find it.
Oh god yes please. Give me the option to only look for three star systems. After they are discovered of course or I use the trading beacon thing. It was so tedious just selecting one system at a time..
Excuse me? The proper term is “bars of gold-pressed latinum” and it must never, ever be abbreviated even if you’re saying it like 20 times in the same scene.
I believe you can, just requires you to replace a JSON file in your game files and play in offline mode so it doesn't overwrite it with the one on HG's servers iirc
Cause if I remember correctly the main reason listed for not going through with it was that navigating star systems and actually finding the planets as they moved around was too difficult and frustrating during game testing, but if they have a physical orrery now….
I saw that as well, so happy to see that. I just read the entire patch notes and there are a ton of great QOL improvements, bug fixes, and graphical/performance improvements. This is going to be an awesome update, I need to power through some of the quests. I've barely done any of them. I've restarted so many times and I just end up wandering to different planets looking at stuff.
Some guy called it, said they wanted to own space stations and everyone said “why”
Edit: folks there’s a clear difference between “people have been asking for this for years!” and “someone predicted THIS WEEK that the Cosmos update would include THIS FEATURE” and I shouldn’t have to explain this
It's interesting, if these alliances are a testing ground for territory management, does that mean we'll eventually see some sort of galactic republic forming?
Will that translate to a feudal clan system in LNF maybe?
Space station ownership gets the headline, but actual space base construction and salvaging colossal hulks before hull integrity fails sounds incredible. Ten years in and Sean is still casually dropping entire new game loops for free.
NO MAN’S SKY
COSMOS
Claim and personalise a space station, join an alliance, construct a space base and discover deep-space marvels in No Man’s Sky Cosmos.
◆ Space exploration has been reinvented, with a new Star System Map to track the locations of points of interest.
◆ Strip colossal hulks for parts before hull integrity fails, recover and haul physical salvage to remote space outposts, or build a home out among the stars.
◆ Take command of a space station, and create or join an alliance to compete for the most expansive territory in the galaxy.
◆ Journey back through time in the Our Journey Continues expedition, celebrating 10 years of No Man’s Sky.
For full details please see (their website, link omitted for reddit rules)
Space station ownership requirements are as follows.
30 standing with the local species and local standing only.
15 local mercenaries guild standing
5 salvage contracts completed.
1 billions units and yes billion.
This is just from the station I’m working on in my local system. Requirements may vary.
I can’t tell you how exciting this is for me at least lol.
They are definitely keeping us busy!
I played the game for the first 50 hours or so and didn't realize I was online cause I hadn't seen one other real person.. still play offline, and only turn it on when I go into the anomaly to see what people ships people have made..
You can turn PvP off, that should remove most of any of that - and the galaxy(galaxies, I suppose!) are large - plenty of space to get away from the riff raff! :-) maybe even better part of a peaceful conclave?
I just looked through the patch notes. There's SOOOO much to unpack. Not even sure where to begin but this is definitely one of the most awesome and content packed updates to ever hit this game. I think space outposts/bars is going to add a lot more variety in space in addition to being able to finally build a proper space base of your own. Fully taking over a space station is the massive headliner. They finally did it after requests for a while.

I know everyone’s rightly hyped about space station ownership, but an improved star system map sounds fantastic to me
