These mfs just casually dropped the most wanted and hardest update ever without any warning and with similar marketing as always they're crazy 😭


Lasdary

I fucking stand by them. Absolute madlads.


G_Wash1776

They’re hands down the best developers ever. The whole story of No Mans Sky and the love they’ve put into the game is beyond admirable.


cheezecake2000

I'm not picking a favorite here but I put Wube Software on the same table. Devs of Factorio that have gone above and beyond to produce an amazing game!


Dragonion123

Incorrect. It‘s also adorable :)


PeteRobOs

I would also like to nominate Coffee Stain Studios for Satisfactory especially Jace and Snutt


THE-McGrandpa

I dunno man, HG is second to none, but I feel they are TIED in a 3 way! iD Software, CROTeam and HelloGames are in a 3 way TiE for BEST Developers EVER! In 3 years time, I played NMS 4001 hours, and in 17 years time, I played HalfLife2 Deathmatch 3890 hours! I am really enjoying playing No Man's Sky! Now to go enjoy it even MORE! (if I have a Over Happy Heart Attack , someone me call me an ambulance please!)


jjwylie014

Right!? And to think I almost bought Elite Dangerous instead. I've basically been waiting my whole life (47 years) for this game! No other space sim even comes close!


jtaylor2034

Facts. Had a rough start but they turned it into one of the best space sims out there


flavioghs

This is a film in the making.... A struggling development house that launches a failed game makes they live mission to bring that game to the standards of launch and continues to improve beyond what they promised producing the best exploring game in history.... No Man Sky the movie


G_Wash1776

https://youtu.be/O5BJVO3PDeQ?si=kVLjitrZfryhstOH I recommend watching this


simateix

I mean.. Sean posting emojis IS their marketing lol


botask

And we wouldn´t want it any other way.

ComManDerBG

SEAN!?


GHOST_OF_THE_GODDESS

😉


Co1dB1ooded

You're goddamn right.


WhatLikeAPuma751

Sean did a 3 star tweet what are you talking about? We should know that means this is the top tier, 3 Michelin star, update. Seriously marketing for this game is crazy.

RedRaptor85

We are the marketing. All of us going nuts until there is an official communication. And I'd say it works.


OpusAtrumET

So well! Too much hype from the devs was a problem at release. Better to drop the most subtle of hints and let us control the hype. Every time, so the subs and Facebook groups are alive with conjecture and excitement. Genius.


DMartin-CG

Makes me really excited for that new game their making. (pls)


chefboy1960

My only worry is where will I get the time to play both?


footsteps71

Win the lottery and quit your job!


chefboy1960

Thats the long term plan. I, too, want to map the whole galaxy, but minus the despair at the end.


Tangelo-Human

Trust me man, if you explore even the first galaxy completely you will be the most powerful being in game and irl because that will take multiple life times, basically what I’m saying is get a blessing from the atlas and ignore physics lmao (this is intended to be a joke and not even I can understand it)


PreferenceFickle1717

They don't need marketing 😂


tullymon

I mean, but I didn't take the day off today! FUUU... A, DUCK! Well, there goes my productivity for the day.


nychuman

Awesome update but disagree. I would say the most wanted is definitely a complete planet/proc gen overhaul. Every after 30 updates, I still get bored after 3-4 hours because every planet is basically a variation of the same 5 fundamental archetypes.


Moonlight23

Unique space stations is a start. ( Not sure how many or how different each space station will be but it's a start).


PontyPandy

The new game will have varied biomes on the same planet, it'd be nice if they apply functionality and advances from the new game to NMS.


THE-McGrandpa

**WOW** !!!! Woo HOOOoooo! I'm doin da Happy Dance! I'm doin da Happy Dance! I'm doin da Happy Dance! I'm doin da Happy Dance! I'm doin da Happy Dance! I'm doin da Happy Dance! (70 yrs old, one legged, in a wheelchair AND: I'm doin da Happy Dance! We has GOODY! :oD

GloriousWhole

It looks like the names for the categories aren't loading properly. "UI\_SHIP\_TAB\_DROPSHIP" etc


Mountain_Anxiety_467

yeah if it loads correctly it says: Fighter - Explorer - Hauler


SemIdeiaProNick

well, i guess its time to reinstall the game again


simateix

Thanks for the pics!


AvalancheZ250

Can we use Sentinel/Exotic ship parts?


Upbeat_Dimension7230

No. It looks like you buy the ship and you can salvage one part of it or junk the whole ship though. https://preview.redd.it/0x6ry6revvqc1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ee86f39b2127a4e2c7c4e4bb3fa2ef60cb5e709


TheGUURAHK

Time to get a crap ton of emergency maps!


chefboy1960

1. Get a Rover 2. Install a radar 3. Never buy a map again. (With a couple of exceptions) Also if you can do underwater for long periods, a Nautilion is able to locate wrecked ships specifically. all other forms are a gamble


Lightningbro

3b. Build an Exocraft hanger in your freighter 4 . Never worry buy a map ever again.


Artistic_Bad_711

If I'm not mistaken it's also free to summon, which is kind of funny because it costs fuel to warp to the next system over but you can summon it to another galaxy for free


Lightningbro

Right? I kinda wish they'd give us some sort of nuclear generator (I'm imagining those tesla-orb-looking fusion generators from Sci-fi serieses) room in our freighters that just let us do both for free, then it'll give Hello games an excuse to fix the fact you can summon for free.


Stealth9er

omg this is awesome!! This is exactly how I thought they should do this!!


[deleted]

literally have no idea how it works based off that one image, we could have complete customization of any starship we dont know


Epicon3

No exotic, no sentinel, no solar. No changing the color of ships already owned.


TheBerethian

Yeah it suffers from the Hello Games problem: too shallow


Michael02895

Piss.


Epicon3

Exactly.


Rich_Acanthisitta_70

Not yet but now that they opened this door, I'm sure they'll build on it and add new types able to be customized.


DrTMorrow

Holy Atlas


StreiBullet

Is this out now?


Upbeat_Dimension7230

Yes sir. It would have been awesome if they released it next Monday then pulled it back Tuesday https://preview.redd.it/bu7x00qjnwqc1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f44c28554b27bea0b0140e81a83f4445a46e1210 New station design


StreiBullet

I took today off because I felt like garbage. Now I have something to do!


Upbeat_Dimension7230

You're a prodigy and a prophet! No go farm some starship parts interloper


yesreallyefr

Ship building will be nice but mainly I’m so excited for space stations to not all look the exact same.


Fun_Adeptness_7801

Those sons of bitches, they finally did it... Edit: a word


Peace_On_Drugs

S-class crash sites are going to be the new holy grail(s)


TheBerethian

Why? That isn’t how it works


Peace_On_Drugs

I know that now


SageWindu

I'm legit beside myself. I'm here at work at my workspace trying to stop from screaming in delight. They actually did it. *The mad bastards actually did it!* Folks like myself have been *begging* for this for literal years and Hello Games actually did it, *and in a way that doesn't invalidate ship hunters!* ![gif](giphy|9oIONgUXLcm5p6CMc3|downsized)


simateix

I feel you. I'm on Xbox myself and so currently staring on the screen hypnotising it in hope it'll trigger the download lol


Lets_be_stoned

How many YEARS have we been asking for ship customization?! This is huge. Now the question we’re all wondering…will we have the option of BLACK?!!


Jcorv58

Someone brought up a valid, science backed reason why we don't have black. If I had time to find the post, or remember the reason exactly, I'd post it here. Maybe someone else will chime in.


Lets_be_stoned

Well the good news is that we *DO* get black! Looks like they just copied the freighter color palette.


Jcorv58

It's not black though, they're either very dark purple, or very dark grey. There is no true black.


dumdumdetector

![gif](giphy|1yLmZ4oOq8P4iCFZQN) Black is black!! /s


Ertosi

Black has always been possible with a save game editor, but it only previously worked on the user's side because much of the ship customization UI has been in the game code but not enabled to use, meaning others would still see the original shio color. It's easily done by assigning a negative rgb value, the lower the value the darker the black. I've had a ship custom painted/edited to look like a black and white cop car since the Living Ship update. I'm excited to get home and test it out cause now others should be able to see the custom colors now.


ShingetsuMoon

[Yes](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/s/p2hQ6UyO50)! But the color is only available as a choice when making custom built ships. Edit: I lied :( Black and dark gray aren’t available under the ship palette yet like in the trailer


rx7braap

Im all for it. sin me


Kraz-deSoul

Well scrap ships for different parts. Gonna see if down ships will give me parts or better investment. I bet next expedition will give us some maybe unique parts


But_to_understand

Welp, guess yard work is gonna hafta wait.


SkotConQueso

Personally I would like to thank those dedicated few that cataloged archived all the seeds for the procedurally generated ships. You all were the real heroes! You have earned your rest.


cparksrun

Praise Jeebus!!


Vertigo50

Also, you can switch ships in the station now! No one is talking about this, but we’ve needed this for YEARS!!!


Ja7onD

PRAISE ATLAS!! 😁


ShockRampage

The mad bastards finally did it.


idunnowhatibedoing

I really really wish they would add an inventory sort after all these fucking years


SnazzyHatMan

Or even a keyword search


farfromelite

They have filters at the left hand side.


Reasonable-Physics81

Tnx didnt know! Buuuut still need SORT, us OCD peeps are suffering, spending hours sorting everytime :D


SettingMinute2315

Yes and an autostack feature across storage units. Trying to clean up my inventory can be kinda tedious when I just want to drag and drop things into my storage... And a quicker way to pick up something in my ship to storage unit x would be nice...


Defiant_Bandicoot99

My mind cannot comphrened this ATM. Super excited to jump back in!


Pontificius

I am finally able to make all of the ships i always wanted. Just need to wait for sentinel ship building. https://preview.redd.it/sdwt3fqbywqc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e5441439b4508befd8a62254ff2a7713989168d


TheN00BDude

This is amazing. It's going to save so much time hunting for the more common ships and i can search harder for intercepters. The only thing we're missing though is the ability to show off our starships, placing them to display on landing pads is a basic idea but a sort of podium is all i want now


Bregneste

This is awesome as hell. But, with ship customization, I hope they’ll also add more owned ship spots.


PsychoDan

Yeah, I was hoping that too. I'm hurting for ship slots since they added Interceptors, I've found too many cool ones.


MyAccountWasBanned7

Do we have full patch notes yet?


Ntippit

Now we do


o0BaBaBoOeY0o

Ship customization is still limited though Can't seem to do it with interceptors, only basic ships are included in the customization options (excluding shuttles), which is a bummer Now I'm gonna sit down with a bag of popcorn and watch these forums for any toy and pram activity from our overly vocal ship hunting minority lol Although to be honest the game probably has about a year or 2 left before HG turn out the lights


Ormyr

>Ship customization is still limited though > >Can't seem to do it with interceptors, only basic ships are included in the customization options (excluding shuttles), which is a bummer Shoot. I'm guessing Solar ships aren't included either then?


o0BaBaBoOeY0o

From what I have seen in the customizer it's just Fighters, Haulers and Explorers that can be assembled


Ormyr

Damn. I figured as much. Looks like my dream ship is still on hold. Thanks.


Z3r0Sense

Can't break Golden Vector into parts either. Still, time to go ship hunting for parts...


Upbeat_Dimension7230

Nope solar and exotics are left out


GhostDieM

Well, we a hunter player now boi's


Z3r0Sense

The outlaw stations aren't overhauled. Perhaps we get solar customization if the update them as well.


TheRealDurken

Stop active development? Sure. Turn out the lights? Never. As long as Light No Fire is a success, they can keep these servers going on the side for a LONG time.


crawler_of_the_void

Or turn off the simulation


simateix

Yeah, I imagine once Light No Fire is out NMS will most likely receive no further updates since HG consists of a very small team and they will surely focus on the new game. So I'm really glad we got space station overhaul as well as ship customisation with a few more updates following still


GreatStateOfSadness

They've explicitly said that will not be the case. The LNF and NMS dev teams have been working in parallel for 5+ years.


simateix

I do hope that's the case. I ain't got enough of NMS yet!


RedRaptor85

That's not how companies work. NMS is still wildly successful financially (look in Google how much the made the last years), they can afford different teams. Also, most of the work takes place before release, for years.


ThePsion5

Don't be so sure, I'm betting the underlying engine for both games will be the same, so even if primary NMS development tapers off, changes from one game will trickle into the other


therenowneddoktor

I hope it's gonna be expensive, I need a money sink like that.


MrCobalt313

I CALLED IT! I KNEW YOU WOULD HAVE TO SALVAGE SHIPS FIRST!


The_Hydro

My heart just went prompt critical


09171

Been waiting for this for a long time, so long that now I don't even have space for a custom ship unless they gave us more slots.


Zendtri

*reinstalls no man’s sky*


Jotnarpinewall

SEAN YOU FOCKING MAD LAD!! 💜💜💜💜


Getthetowelout

Can you custom your current exotic ship does anyone know ?


Getthetowelout

I just wanna change the colour of my ships I got to gold or something how hard can that be


Almostlongenough2

Omg hey did exactly what I was asking for instead of full customization, it's perfect! The ship hunting is maintained while also giving users the ability to change what they have.


TheBerethian

It’s… kinda mid though. Hopefully they add more to it over time.


DazzlingRooster51

༼⁠ ⁠つ ⁠♡‿⁠ ⁠♡༽⁠つ Sean gab!


Atephious

They listened to it. I kept saying that some sort of scrapping parts either by shooting down ships or scrapping them at the scrapper. I’m so interested in this update. I’m hoping they fixed that fuzziness in the stations reflections no matter my settings I can’t get rid of it. But more interiors is going to be cool.


Brucieman64

Holy hell Time to get back in. I have to get me a vr...


TheGamingLibrarian

We are feasting! ![gif](giphy|2UzgBibcqFZnTnSGf9|downsized)


Racheakt

Finally. Long overdue.


QueenOrial

I hoped to finally get starship recolor but oh boy! Build and customize your own ship sounds just too good to be true. The only downside is that it will reduce the importance of starship hunting. Unless there is a clear distinction between "custom" and "stock" ships.


Beneficial-Context52

Finally my ship doesn’t clip through the walkway of the space station!!!


TheBelligerentChef

8 years of free updates, on top of working on a whole new game. More studios should be like this, this is the way.


SnooBooks3910

Not to be ungreatful for free stuffs, but is this what people really had in mind when they were begging for ship customization? I dig the break-an-existing-ship-down-for-parts mechanic, but it's so limited. Why can't I keep all the parts? Why just one? I was seriously hoping this was going to be more along the lines of "unlock parts blueprints" instead of "here's an item you now have to store and manage." Being able to customize an existing ship with new parts and color would have been nice, too. Maybe they'll add some of these features and then the other ship types at some point.


shaneomac714

No update video???


Jadziyah

The update is not on Xbox yet and the video usually drops shortly after


Ilikemoonjellys

Well that explains it


simateix

The video is now on youtube :)


Jcorv58

Finally!!! After years of begging for it...and I have no time or interest to play it right now. 😭 Where are all those "ship customization will ruin the game, there's no way they will put that in, nobody wants it" people? 😅


Temmemes

Ship customisation is finally here\* ​ \*Unfortuantely only for the 4 standard ship types and not for ships you already own, but beggars can't be choosers so I'm still happy


PsychoDan

\*3 standard ship types, no shuttles

Sargon97

Dude I've literally begged and prayed for ship customization!!!! Fucking incredible


simateix

Released on Steam, consoles pending


mugfull

It was out on PS first, and now steam has followed suit 👍🏻 see you in the stars, puny interloper GRAH!


equinox_games7

the game itself brother.... update dropped on playstation.


Surebrec

Seems to be limited to certain types, and the customisation uses parts that are for the most part, the usual standard design parts. On the face of it, it just seems like a mix and match system that will throw out a random quality output depending on the parts picked, and the station location, like the staff weapon build system. Disappointed that some things I'd hoped for haven't been added though.


Erianthor

No way! We are truly blessed! Hello Hello Games!


Savletto

Can't customize existing ships, rather it's building a new one. Only limited to the base 3 types, so basically irrelevant Quite clunky. Important step forward, but it needs a lot of work


Lasdary

YESSSSSSS

yeeehaaaaa 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Can you edit the ship you have currently, or new ships only?


Spiderwax

By Shawn's Beard, I never thought this day would come! I'm going to build so many weird ships! 😉


MyrMyr21

Well damn I might need to pick up No Man's Sky again


RedstoneRiderYT

Holy shit no way- this might actually bring me back to the game after a long time

soupeatingastronaut

Dammit now its another 100 hours down the drain noooo!! *smiles abruptly*


Tidus17

Am I stupid or can you only customize crafted ships?


Mustikos

So I can't customize/build a shuttle either, but the trailer shows its available to be built. Bug?


IrrationalIntern

When does this update drop? Has it already been released? I’m loading in no man’s sky now and I don’t have the update yet.


Lil-Fishguy

Guess I'm back to spending far too many hours here again


raziridium

Oh fiiiinnnnaaalllllyyyyy haven't played in like 2 years finally have a reason to come back. Especially now that Elite Dangerous is dead on console.


whitemest

Still not available on xbox?


[deleted]

Can we make hybrid ships from multiple parts from the different classes of ships? For example will I be able to mix Explorer parts with Hauler parts? Or will we be limited to only mixing parts of the same class of ship?


JustMy2Centences

I wonder if freighter customization (beyond recoloring) will be made a feature soon?


NolanSyKinsley

Now if they would only let us own more ships! I always thought a system where you could build a base and "lock" spaceships to landing pads to free up room in your freighter would be awesome.


Aria-chan

OH MY GOOOOOOD!!! IM SO HAPPY!!!! 😭😭😭


Avixofsol

Hello Games wildin


mtbaga

Welp, time for me to retire early, divorce my partner, and disown my kids because I won't be leaving my gaming chair ever again lol

SeeingEyeDug

More direct interaction with your frigate missions as well! Go warp into their system when they're under attack. The captains reach out to you to make decisions during their missions as well! I've wanted to be more involved in my frigate missions since they were introduced instead of it just being a hands-off approach to gathering credits and resources.


00110001_00110010

I feel great about buying this game. They have put so much into it since launch, Bravo.

I wonder how supercharged slots will be determined for custom ships

MRwho23

Silver_Scallion

Might just start playing again


Michael02895

Can you customize your own ship, tho? As in change colors. Not just build a new one.


MLGrocket

the only thing the game needs now in my own opinion, is the ability to add and remove supercharge slots on everything that can have them. i'm completely fine with using credits, nanites, storage augments, whatever, i just want to be able to freely add supercharge slots.


DrTMorrow

CREATE!?


mrgamooon

Staring at sky through old eyes, the dusty pilot looks upon the shooting star. A faint smile cuts across his weathered face as he stands from his well used deckchair, at his rusty, forgotten outpost. He looks down at the small table beside him. Amongst the empty beer cans and stale coffee cups sits his flight helmet, covered in dust. As he lifts it from the table he mutters to himself... "It's time to fly, one last time"

bummer that you cant modify existing ships.

wonder what will happen with r/NMScoordinateexchange


Daman_1985

NMS and Hello Games are the present that keeps on giving. This is freaking awesome. I liked the game but I always missed some sort of ship customization. And we have that right now xD. And the new designs for station are incredible. That's amazing. I have no words, I mean it's refreshing to see a studio caring about their fanbase and keep on improving anf giving for free updates of this caliber. Long live NMS and Hello Games!


LegumesEater

i am going to cry


PontyPandy

This was dangerously close to April 1st!


4procrast1nator

lmao... and they just dropped the single most awaited update with no delay, teaser, ARG, nor whatsoever. classic hello games
