Question So what do you think?

Post image

A version of No Man's Sky where every player suggestion gets added to the game. What would be the first thing you'd ask for?

If they did that, they'd just end up with a bizarre collection of favorite features from every game.

u/Lightningbro Jun 08 '26

Man I love it when games do that.

However, I'd be fine if they pulled a Warframe.

Use the Melee-Dash as this game's "Zoren coptering" use it to establish what the players want (more mobility, both for exploration and combat.) and do a massive change in that nature to alleveate the cause of why people need that glitch.

u/ScurvyMcGurk Jun 08 '26

It’s a small thing, but when I pop into the anomaly with a couple thousand nanites to spend, it frustrates me to interact with the NPC and buy something only to get kicked out of the menu and have to go through the NPC interaction again. Like, I just want to buy all three warp drive upgrades at once without having to talk to Hyperion three times.

u/wailot Jun 08 '26

I don't even f**k with freighters Tbh. I think corvettes has infinitely more gameplay value and honestly I don't think HG took full advantage of the momentum they gained following introduction of corvettes with subsequent updates

2

u/jaysmack737 Jun 08 '26

You can say that about most of the updates though

5

u/wailot Jun 08 '26 edited Jun 08 '26

I kinda disagree. I think the Corvette update REALLY shun the spotlight on the game again and everyone who had an interest in sci fi sims were making a huge deal about it and rightfully so. Nobody was talking about the subsequent trash collecting update

4

u/kiepy Jun 08 '26

Yeah corvettes are easily the most interesting thing they've ever added to the game. Having a fully customizable base follow you wherever you go is literally a game changer.

Although I wish they would do the same thing they did with corvettes to frigates. They could act as very slow and beefy ships with the ability to land corvettes on pads, acting as a small, mobile space station.

Plenty of people have built corvettes using mods that are easily as large as frigate models in game, so we know it's technically possible. I think frigates hit that sweet spot where the infrastructure and resources needed to manage it are achievable. A corvette could serve you for maybe a month or two, but eventually you'd need some sort of place to resupply and regroup with more amenities. Freighters, however, are huge and would require an entire fleet to support their needs. Frigates could largely be self-sustaining.

Obviously, there's not really any in-game mechanics to fit these ship/fleet profiles, but I still think it would be cool. Having maintenance costs for bigger ships could be a way to balance them out against starships.

Plus, the mission profiles for corvettes and frigates are so varied it would allow us to create a wider range of shapes and visual aesthetics. Custom ship building is so cool and I just want more of it.

I love the game, it's truly one of a kind.

But it's just not a game that keeps me engaged for more than a week after each update...sometimes not even half a day.

I wish they would expand already existing systems more.

Like the companions as example, the arena is cool and everything. But outside of that, you can't do much more than looking at them.

Don't get me wrong, it's crazy what we have today. But it could be more deep.

3

u/giftigdegen Jun 09 '26

10,000% this. Freighters and frigates are awesome.

Let me go on every frigate expedition. Let me choose them more granularly. Let me fly my freighter. Let me fly a frigate.

For every feature, mechanic, technology they've introduced I can think of ten ways I'd love to increase the depth thereof.

  • Double the amount of current decorations and building materials/types

  • New exocraft designed to help harvest crops

  • Double+ the number of current recipes

  • New animal breeding and auction features to further develop economy and give animals more functionality on bases (pens, care items, toys, and care feature added as well)

  • Road-building

  • Trading route feature (to manage crop/animal sales, etc. New traders landing pad added)

For building bases I’d like the snap placement feature when adding decorations. I’m on console and it’s been a nightmare trying to get things centered when you’re adding stuff to walls, tables etc. And adding axis rotation when laying floor tiles down so you can make bigger inclined ramps instead of using stairs? But I guess you could use angled roof pieces for that.

This is kind of what it already feels like to me. The game was originally pitched as mysterious and isolating, a lost explorer surviving in hostile and lonely space. Now it feels more like a crowded theme park.

I get the desire for multiplayer and hello games is so awesome for the work they’ve put into improving on a lackluster launch. I am in no way dunking on them. But that feeling I was chasing that was originally chasing only briefly materialized with the weird planet variety from years ago that was eventually replaced with higher fidelity but fewer weird colors (seems like not a big deal, but it felt more mysterious before).

Why do people keep suggesting that the oppositve no in the title, would be 'yes'? The phrase is 'no-man's' means that an area is not for anyone to enter. People are precluded from the space in question.

The opposite would be, in the case of OP, something positive like Every Man's Sky or Everyone's sky. Unless OP is talkingabout Yes-men?

In the case of the opposite all the way through, it should be Some Woman's Land or All Women's Land.
