Bah, a lot of ships and freighters already look like dicks anyway, what's the difference? I'm rewatching the VGA trailer for NMS and the really quick preview of what's coming, and.... New space stations? Oh man, they look soooo nice.

I'm so glad they let you pulp multi-tools on the Anomaly now. I only have a Royal one, one junky Sentinel rifle-looking one and like three different colored staves because they look slick.

you can absolutely spend two minutes taking your tech outta the slots before you core jump if you really want to, but the game does give you reasons to have multiple mts. that's 500 minutes swapping mods going to every galaxy. it also doesn't randomly swap mts, you probably just hit the button.

I'm playing on PS5 and I feel tremendous relief about my multitools only being reachable for switching when I go into a submenu of a submenu, no way I could accidentally switch my tools.

There's a thing on the left (looking straight at the whole Anomaly) that lets you dismantle multi-tools, yeah. Just like you can dismantle ships. It nets you a bunch of good stuff too to the point where hunting high-quality multi-tools is a worthwhile pursuit now. Wiki link

the most annoying thing about the staves is that other players only see the default colours, so to them my sick white and purple staff is just boring green and whatever.

Weeeeelp, lost my 15+ hour permadeath save in a ship battle for a freighter. Zigged when I should have zagged, and I STILL want to keep trying. Lost my ships, lost my bases (I mean, technically not, but c'mon). Also, I landed on a planet last night called Beth Prime (undiscovered) and that sounds VERY familiar. I googled it and all I got were Rick and Morty links, and I've never watched that show, so

fun fact: if you accept an invite from another player and start a new save to do so, it will put you in their galaxy. so if you want to start in a lush, empty or, if you're feeling real spicy, harsh galaxy in a new permadeath save, let me know~

Did you know you can repair your shield in combat just like you do the hazard protection and oxygen on foot? Also use the lock on / auto follow option, makes it much easier. Somehow your ship can turn much faster using it.

I just want that drat achievement. Well achievements, plural, as getting the permadeath one also gives you the survival one at the same time. You still on the east coast, in  like I am, or am I mis-remembering from the old Minecraft days?

Fellow travellers, iterations, goons, and friends, it is starting to really look like modular starships are on their way. There's this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j09RffLT_lE ... along with a number of prominent NMS community members on Twitter and other places who have been really digging around what's coming (likely this week, tbh), and have pretty much all come to the same conclusion. Also possibly coming are (note: what's under the spoiler tag here is also mentioned in the above video!) ship races, as evidenced by the checkered flag Gek decal on the newest starship type found, as well as a few mentions of the word 'race' in the experimental files. Man, I haven't even done the Echoes content yet, since I took like a year off from this game, but I feel like, if the update happens this week, I'll have a shitload of content that'll essentially be new to me. Can't wait.

Just Another Lurker posted:Modular ships are what i have wanted for quite some time. You and me and I think the majority of the fanbase. Now, I could see the angle of someone looking at that and thinking "so? That code could just be referring to how the ships in-game are generated via the procedural generation of the game itself", but two things kind of argue against that. 1) this stuff is new, as of this experimental build, and b) apparently, and I'm no developer, so I don't fully understand it, this is very similarly coded or organized to how the modular staff system introduced in Echoes is in-game. Please, Sean..... please.

Mokinokaro posted:7.5 GB update. Think it's out. It is, but it's a very weird update. The expedition isn't ready, though the terminal is in the Anomaly now. Sean hasn't tweeted anything about it yet. There are some other weird things about it, apparently. https://twitter.com/Bear2003Logi/status/1757848628738060469?t=ezWds1oX-kcg0GjNO4V1kQ&s=19 You can see the latest brief patch notes from the game's main menu, though.

Correct, normally patch day has sean tweeting the tldr and an official patch notes list posted to steam, hellogame's website, all that jazz And this one has none of the above, and at this point it's after midnight local time for HG so not really likely to change

I saw something about it possibly due to HG maybe making this expedition free to anyone (on PC) who doesn't own the game, and they want to maybe get them to try it and only it out, like a new, timed demo. That would require a whole new bunch of stuff to coordinate, in terms of what's uploaded and released to Steam, and perhaps there was a problem there. This comes from someone digging up a file in the update thay featured text and I think an image that went along with that.
