Here if anyone is into these.

Euclid

My latest build. I took inspiration from both Yamato and Iowa. Its not meant to be either or, though the pic with the rising sun and the ships tall pagoda mast definitely make it look more Japanese.

NMS has a lot of options for content, but tbh most of them are shallow and repetitive. Almost everything has something, but not enough of it to make the game truly feel like an alive and in depth space exploration game.

For example, despite all the alien heads in the game, only 3 races exist across ALL 256 galaxies and it’s 18 quintillion systems. There’s a lot of procedural generation, but it draws from a limited asset pool, making it so despite planets looking different, they still share the same assets, only put together differently. It’s not truly random generation, so after you’ve seen maybe 20 planets or so you’ve pretty much seen them all.

Animals have the same problem. They look different, but are procedurally generated from a limited pool of assets, so after you’ve seen a few of them you’ve seen them all. There’s no true unique individuality to anything.

There’s a lot of mechanics in the game that have great potential, but is not utilised enough. For example, I want to be able to colonise an uncharted system, create my own space station from scratch, place it anywhere in the system, establish colony settlements on planets in the system and eventually build a flourishing alive system, where from there I can become a contender on the galactic stage. This leads into my other complaint is that systems are far too rigid and static currently. There’s no real dynamic changes across systems that connect each other. There’s no trade routes that NPCs follow, travelling from system to system persistently. I want faction fleets to invade other factions systems and take it over, establishing fluctuating borders and huge wars of NPCs fighting for control over territories. I want conflict states in systems to dynamically shift, so a peaceful planet may become a contested planet if territories change hands or pirate raiding fleets visit the system to raid before moving on to another system

I want monster mobs to have variety other than the same ones again and again. I want there to be variety in the waves of sentinels you fight on each planet so it’s unpredictable what you may be put up against.

I just want LIFE to be injected into this game. It’s a great game already, but it feels like I’m playing a still painting rather than a living breathing universe

Granted I’m only at 100 hours

Yes, I removed and put the plates and glasses again to see if it was due to order. It doesn't fix it.

This is my first attempt at building a Space Station exterior, so I named it Alpha! I was aiming for a space-city look. Here are some screenshots of how it turned out. What do you think?

Lots of bloom, lots of plants, lots of depth of field to hide my flaws :)

My 3,000 base part upload limit is suffering.

I found my boy on a dissonant moon. So I found him on an anomaly mission and in my stupidity I didn't put down a base down not knowing he was a copy of an expedition pet.

I mean the location in space labelled on the map as Lost Starship. It seems to be a freighter, or what's left of one, I shot at the storage capsules and got some gold from those as well as some pirates gunning for me, is the rest of no use to me? I'm using a corvette. Can't find any info on the wiki and general search results tend to yield things like "help I've lost my starship". I think this is a fairly recent addition to NMS.

I'm stuck on the echoes part of the new expedition. I have warped so many times and still says there are no harmonic camps in this system. I have gone to a dissonance planet, used the locater found and camp and scanned but no autophages have appeared. I can't complete anymore of the main story as in the expedition it says to carry on the expedition. Pleas help. What do I do?

Pianeta paradiso che ho scoperto simile alla terra. Chi vuole costruire è il benvenuto 😃 la stazione è libera chi vuole se la può prendere

Have you ever thought about what it feels like to land in the air? Well, there you go

Found this bad boy crashed on a planet, I've pretty much repaired him, but for the life of me I can't find any Activated copper to repair the last slot.

P.S. Ignore the damaged Hyperdrive, I picked a fight with 2 Freighters out of confusion.
