That reminds me of Starfield, where a mission has you land, create a base and then having to defend it in a mission.

I gave this NMS another play today with the updates.
They improved the clouds a lot. Now they seem more realistic than before, as they line up in the sky at a certain height and can be flown through more convincingly.

Also, when flying to the planet, clouds don't completely cover the vision for more than a second, so it's a more fluent switch to the ground. Although there is a big pop in of the land from the basic texture for the planet that disappears as you get near the ground.

Unfortunately, the planets still have that "all the same terrain" style to them, so there is almost zero mystery to exploring for new sights.

Even so, a clever game and there are not many games with endless planets.

I will be going after the Freighter next, then possibly a new ship. The Nu Hotness is getting old.

The Freighters are interesting and when it first launched, a nice addition as you can walk around in them. I should check out the starports as those were cut/paste sameness each time. Maybe they're more varied now.

I did find an outpost on a planet that has ladders on it and stairs, so that was different at least.

Have you tried Creative Mode? I like it but there is no challenge to it. I should probably go back to normal mode and test that out again. I had a hundred of hours progress in Normal mode, and then Hello Games put out a major revision to NMS which automatically erased all of my progress, back in 2018 I think. I'm sure that put a damper on my enthusiasm after that.

No I have not tried creator mode yet. Was just getting back into things, had not played the game since last year. I am going to explore all the new stuff. It is prety weird that this game will be 10 years old next year.

I checked the new options, just wish there was an easy button press to change the camera view from 1st to 3rd to 1st. Instead, the game makes you go into options settings in the onscreen lower icon menu to select it in a list of items.

10 years went fast. 2016, 2026 already. Good point.

The dinosaur bones feature seems timed. When I started the game, it said 2 more weeks for Dinosaur fossils. I didn't understand that. Didn't find any bones yet though.

Yes I saw that on the menu when I loaded in. I guess I will stumble upon those by accident.

Good to see pedestrians finally walking around. I hope their new game approaches things where you can visit villages and there are people walking around, going about their business. For most of NMS's lifetime as a game, the "towns" have been mostly vacant other than beings standing at their booths to sell stuff. Or pilots by their ships.

The sky diving looks fun.
The crater looks good.
If you pause that video at 0:59 seconds, notice the vertical lines during the warp drive flight. Those were there from day 1 launch, and they still haven't fixed those. Why would there be vertical lines during a warping effect? It looks like a glitch.

Only main thing I want to see aside from more more terrain variety per planet, would be the ability to actually fully control your ship when near the ground so you can crash it if you want or aren't paying attention. There is light bumping into stuff, but no serious damage allowed. The game should take off the training wheels after all these years since 2016, now 2025.

What is going on with their Light a Fire game? That thing was announced years ago.

That is actually pretty cool. Thanks. Being able to walk around during flight in the ship and hop out and float in space.

I am about to spend weeks making a new ship.
