No Man's Sky

[Tryuk]

And...HUGE NEWS! the saddest part is that the devs are now thinking about the paid addons/expansions...wtf.... Source: http://www.pcgamer.com/no-mans-sky-creator-walks-back-no-paid-dlc-statement/ they've really failed with this statement. I am dissapointed. Eh. I wonder If I could make a better game by myself given the 2 years of free time in the future, hmm, it's not that hard if you have money for models, textures and animation artists (besides servers it's the highest cost tbh).

It seems you didn't actually read the article

“maybe in the future there’s some reason why we just couldn’t possibly afford to do a certain feature without charging for it.”

AKA Sean is saying that the world is not ideal

If your updates are perceived as fixes, fairly or not, you sure don't want to be asking people to fork over more money for them—though it doesn't sound like that's the plan going forward, and any paid DLC is a hypothetical scenario.

has anyone else never been able to analyse and identify flying animals? everytime i come accross any, no matter how long i leave the analyis visor pointing at the flying creature, it never analyses it :| never been able to complete a planet because of it, it doesnt even matter how close ig et to them , the red circle shows but nothing happens :\

It is something to do with their movement. If everything else fails shoot till they stop moving (dead). The discovery doesn't care if its dead or alive. I've found though that it takes a few tries sometimes for flying creatures just because they can change directions fast enough for it to lock on. You sometimes get it with ground creatures too but not as often.

But like I said Dead things won't move so its easy to scan them then. I've had to do it for the more bird like flying creatures a couple of times.

in those patch notes, i really hope "alt-tab fixing" means the game will no longer pause when you alt tab.

I'm on the experimental branch, because I had an issue with a crash that it fixed, and that's basically Patch 1. It isn't about the pausing when you alt-tab; that appears to be a design choice for whatever reason. It fixes an issue where if you alt-tabbed out of a Fullscreen game, you couldn't alt-tab back; you'd hear the music but the screen never came up, leading you to have to alt-F4 out of the game.

Any ideas how I would get better ship? I got 24slot ship and with all the upgrades in it, there is very little room for resources. The transmission tower trick was fixed, I understand. I can no longer use one repeatedly. I have been finding at least 2 (or more) transmission towers each time I land on a new planet and check the crashed ships. No good ones yet. My exosuit is at max size. Need more room and any significantly bigger ships cost many millions. Porbably many times more than I have had money during the game so far total.

Help!

You don't need to use the Gek tower "trick" to get multiple ships. I ground out almost my entire ship upgrade path in a non-Gek system. If RNG isn't being kind, just keep looking; I had to grind op centers for hours before getting my Atlas Pass V3.

I've done it pretty easily, but the only real flying creatures I've ran into are large, graceful, sky whales that are pretty slow.

I tend to shoot these kind of flying things down and then analyze the corpse.

It happens only on small flying things. I once saw floating snakelike things. Those I could analyze.

Im like 40 hours in and I only have 19 slots in my inv and 21 in my ship. Im addicted to unlocking shit on planets. I do not have any freaking clue why people are hating on this game. I cant stop playing it on PS4.

Its not that its a BAD game per se, its that they announced and promised a lot, and ended up only delivering a fraction of what was announced. This game has beaten Peter Molineux when it comes to pre-release bullshit.

That along with the 60$ tag has a lot of buyers up in arms, because this is basically a 20$ decent indie game, marketed, charged and sold as a 60$ triple A game.

When its clearly not.

As far as I'm concerned I'm not gonna buy it until the price drops. I'm a sucker for exploration, so the game caters to my tastes, but No Man Sky is simply NOT worth 60$ for me. When it gets to 20, or 30 bucks at most, that's when I'll dive into it. Maybe by then they'll have patched in all the technical issues, crashes, bugs, glitches, and all the other shit the PC version of the game is suffering from.

At least there's one good thing I can take away from No Man's Sky....... it introduced me to the indie band 65daysofstatic. They produced the soundtrack for the game, and I loooooove their work. So every cloud has a silver lining I guess.

I hope they look at reducing fuel costs for the launch thrusters. Going empty after 4 take-offs is getting old real fast.

well thats a disappointing design choice. would make the game much more enjoyable while flying long distances instead of having to just watch it until you reach the destination

are there any upgrades to launch thrusters like there are for other parts? i found an upgrade to my warp(?) engines earlier that reduced fuel costs, may be a similar thing for launch thrusters. It is a bit annoying how much fuel it usess. but luckily only most planets plutonium seems to be abundant

I try to land everytime it is possible on some kind of landing pad or landing spot. If I didn't manage it, I will make bypass chip and move the ship to such location. This is obviously possible only if you landed in some kind of base.

I've just arrived into a system where a major space battle was in progress, it's not the first time I encountered that but this time it was more epic, because there was this YUGE ass cruiser (never seen one before, size of the station with turrets that fire and you can destroy them) with escort attacked by a dozen or so fighters.

EDIT: I shot down a couple of fighters to join the fight and see the details - turns out there are 30 fighters in the battle RIGHT NOW.

Someone on reddit complained there were no huge space battles with lots of ships? BUSTED.

Then go an help them update it. It's not a static thread, it's one that's supposed to reflect reality.

Just found the idea for Tremors 6 or what ever film they are up to now:




Anyone else have a multi tool tech upgrade terminal crash their game? Ive found one so far that crashes my game everytime I use it. Ended up just skipping it and leaving the planet.

As mentioned earlier, here are the alien animals attacking each other that I've seen so far.



Little tiny guy, didn't realize he was there until he got attacked.



Temperamental buggers.

Maybe you should also mention that during dogfights if you help the big freighters and miss ONE freakin shot and accidentaly hit one of those freighters you'll be tagged as an enemy. So yeah, they exist but you can't really participate unless you plan to kill everyone.

Solution; use your beam laser, not the photon cannon. The auto-targeting means there won't be stray shots. It's not as fast, but in those big battles, you're usually not getting focus-fired, so it's not as big a deal.

Sure can. My aim is good and I know when to use cannons and when to use lasers, Also when it's safe to shoot and when it's not. So if your target is making an attack run on a freighter which is in the background of your firing solution - don't fucking fire. The freighter doesn't know who you are and you look like the rest of the baddies.

That can't really work unless you are auto-assigned a faction in the battle. Because you could be a pirate, you could be a friendly, or you could be out for yourself against everyone.
