Thought this was a teaser but it's out now, with an exobiology expedition to follow "shortly". Multitool cap upped from 3 to 6, "royal" (exotic) multitools, companions upped from 6 to 18, active camo and a couple new weapon types for the multitool, exomech assistant AI and upgradeable setinel-based exomech components, exomech control has been "overhauled" with a faster turning radius and the ability to, uh, walk backwards Looks like several new setinel drone enemy types too this is one hell of an update to drop out of literally nowhere lol

I was wondering what they would do for the next patch. This is quite a pleasant surprise. Are the dragon-wing jetpack cosmetics in the trailer new as well? Looks like one of the people streaming on YouTube right now also has a different set of wing cosmetics on their back too, I haven't seen any of that before.

The dragon wing jetpack is new and a reward for the upcoming expedition; a couple other jetpack styles have come out from previous expeditions/as quicksilver rewards.

Just on foot I think. Kinda weird of them to frame it as changes to combat when there was barely any combat before at all. All I want is reloading to be easier in VR, really. Not sure why they're leaning on mechs so hard either, all they do is slow you down. Maybe there's a big roleplaying community who get a kick out of it or something. Still, yet another free update out of the blue, that alone is worth commending them for.

Patch Notes posted:The underlying navigation of both planetary creatures and Sentinel enemies has been significantly improved, bringing better and more realistic behaviours, as well as allowing Sentinels to hunt the player within buildings and in caves. There goes my primary way of avoiding Sentinels when raiding production depots.

When they said they buffed the mech's turning radius they weren't kidding, the thing pivots on a dime now. It's siginificantly more convenient to steer now, with a turn rate about on par or better than the wheeled exocraft options.

also, as far as ive seen, all ship combat occurs in space in exactly the same kind of random encounters. so it could definitely be expanded to include fighting in the atmosphere of planets, like trading posts defending themselves against pirates or whoever, and also include ship vs. ground vehicle/building missions and battles

Yeah, all pirate bounties are pretty much the same. I have fun with them, but they’re not terribly challenging. Maybe the higher difficulty ones could eventually incorporate a pirate frigate you have to take down? I agree that the freighter/frigate aspects of the game could use an extensive upgrade like this. The rerun of the Normandy expedition giving a free freighter was a big part of what made the game finally stick for me. I know the difference is only marginal, but I would like to be able to upgrade my freighter from C all the way to S-class anyway, even if it were a proportionally bigger grind. It would be seriously cool to dock with my frigates and join them on a mission, rather than getting a dry if sometimes humorous list of mission results the next time I play. And directly commanding your freighter and frigates in combat would be the ultimate, although I believe it’s still only one player freighter per system? It feels like they’ve got the framework in place to keep improving this game for a long time. I hope the sales and attention bumps from these periodic updates are enough to keep it going.

TheWorldsaStage posted:gently caress. I liked the dummy ai They are still exceptionally dummy, I did the usual "blast the door open and walk in" and they did the usual "fly in and look around but can't see or shoot me" I actually don't know what they "fixed" in that regard lol combat feels about the same, I think the only real thing they did was "significantly nerf plasma grenades/shotguns" but holy hell the AI mech with a cannon can snipe with those slow projectiles like a motherfucker, it's rad as hell and draws fire and appears to be effectively immortal if you're not in it sentinel waves don't spawn forever anymore, just 5 waves and then they shut down planetwide in surrender and give you coordinates to the nearest sentinel pillar to loot for lore and a multitool cabinet i haven't played with the stealth functionality or the "bonus damage on stun" since I need to hunt down some basalt for it yet, but plasma grenades still knock things out fast enough that they're still probably the "endgame" of weapons without switching bugs aside my biggest complaint is probably the fact that since some of the sentinels can do terrain deforming attacks I keep strafing into holes I can't see, if they hadn't nerfed self plasma damage I would have absolutely killed myself a dozen times over from grenading right when I drop into a hole lol

The update broke my game. I'm getting constant dips to 10FPS on planet and in space, down from my usual 90-140. I'm still getting 140 on space stations though. Logitech lost my mouse profile too. That's on Logitech's horrible software though.

Just got the game, and it's got me in its clutches. So, here's my first mod question: I'm following the tutorial up to the point where I built my crappy hut on my ugly planet, and I'm really taken with how frequent and just low to the ground other space planes are flying. They fly so often I figure this planet must have a greater population than earth, which of course it doesn't. This place is a wasteland, and it's ugly. Is there a mod to lessen this, get rid of it, or maybe have them fly at a more realistic altitude? Just lines in the sky is good enough, NMS. This assumes, though, that flybys are constant at every planet, regardless of population. Maybe they become more realistic once I get to a certain point in the main questline.

the plot has no impact on the ship amount. that does vary depending on the system's economy, and they are rare in uninhabited systems. you might be getting the max number if you are near a trade outpost in a three star economy system. you can follow the ships and they might lead you to an outpost. no idea about mods since i'm on playstation.

I just accepted it and treat NMS as a fantasy sci-fi game. Almost every single planet has life, almost every single planet has settlements and traffic, every single system has a giant rear end space station, every single system has multiple planets that are pretty close to each other. There are other games which probably represent space as much more barren and empty.

Honestly if there are some planets that are just dead that could be an exploration goal. (Don't spoil me tho) Failing that I don't mind a mod that would do the trick. I'll search later. Or hey if I want a dead universe I could just play Elite Dangerous.

i wouldnt say the flybys are ever "realistic" but they certainly do better on flatter planets, and there are planets where they are less frequent mountains were a fairly late addition to the game and the ai ships never learned to handle them well, they often clip right through the ground on planets with any kind of interesting topography

I've played this game for years. YEARS. S-rank everything, all the achievements, multiple bases in multiple galaxies. Just now figured out the reason my freighter's Orbital Exocraft Materialiser hasn't been working this whole time is because whenever I built Exocraft Summoning Stations to spawn in my vehicles, I would always destroy them afterwards to get back the building materials. Turns out you need a vehicle's summoning station to be built somewhere for your freighter to be able to spawn that vehicle in anywhere. God I'm stupid.
