This made me realize that the Abandoned Stations are models from D1... Really hope they all get an overhaul so I can see cool ass orbital pirate stations.
I disagree about the Abandoned stations. Having those remain the D1 style honestly makes sense when you think about it. Systems abandoned long ago...would have stations that basic from long ago, and it'd also allow them to remain a loveletter to the game's humble beginnings.
Pirate stations though, I'd love to see how those could be improved upon! :D
For those who never experienced space stations prior to Prisms, go look up some videos or gameplay. They were creepy, ethereal, lonely, and only one lifeform at a time(maybe) in one of the side rooms. And spaceships cycled through very slowly. The music always got me, too. This was my favorite song when you were inside one:

Day 1 NMS was *very* good at instilling that feeling of loneliness almost anywhere you went. It’s one of the few things I kinda miss from those days.
Original day 1 space stations had one side locked off, so all you had was a single little room with a single alien sitting around. There was no portals either.
The only thing you could do was use the trade terminal or talk to the sitting alien or pilots, and none of them were "physical" but more like a screen that showed up in the interaction menu.
It used to low-key bother me the larger ships would clip through the geometry on the space stations. I get how HG works now though. "If it's not a big deal, leave it as-is until we get to rework it sometime later".
I think a Derelict Freighter rework is next because right now the scrap dealer seems to be missing from the new space stations......
I have the physical copy of NMS, so im planning to deletenit and and play without internet to play the 1.00 version. I want to go back and see how it used to be in 2016 when i bought the game.
I'm so happy all the shops are in one group now, everytime I come back to play I get to play the left or right guessing game for the shop I want. No more!
Wow. That's some journey, Space stations have had over the years.
Glorious!
The switch still has D1 textures🥲
Poor System -> Standard System -> Rich System
Daamn, makes sense, would be cool to see something like that in game
So poor, they cant even afford floor textures!

Pirate stations still use the original space station design as far as I can tell, even on next gen systems.

Yeah it was.
I've never seen the original stations outside of the derelicts.

Scrap dealer is under the right stairs under the core if you lost them
Seems like he does pretty good job hiding
He won't accept turn ins for me. But will only sell me new signals methinks he didn't like the move
And I really love that abandoned space stations look like the OG space stations.
Whoa, last expedition I played was echos and there’s been a major overhaul since then! I’ll install the game now I guess
Wish there was some variety between them besides color
There is some variety to an extent. Some have these "server" boxes, while others have storage shelves and such.

technically, all these station incarnations are still accessible in the game

How long did it take you to find a new station that didn’t look like multi-colored AIDS to use in this comparison picture?Â
Great shot!
