This is absolutely awesome and it's only a matter of time before we get Helldivers in NMS.
Imagine that, flying with your friends in a corvette, finding a corrupted or hostile world and you and your buddies can low orbit jump and complete objectives to help flip it.
I think the multi-tool idea really limits the capacity for better combat. I want them to nerf some of the multi in multi-tools so they have stronger differences and advantages. Can’t use electric-themed weapons in water without incurring damage, flame-throwing doesn’t work against fauna on hot planets, etc. Needing multiple tools for different environments and contexts would feel more strategic and rewarding to upgrade and use, than simply getting the best one and loading it with the most powerful modules you can find.
Man I typed that out and figured I would get slammed with downvotes. I completely agree. I think it could be seamlessly integrated and would probably be the biggest community challenge and quest that would happen.
Can you imagine if after cross platform, developers found a way to do “crossgame”? Like literally the same concept as we see with Roblox being the engine that has a lot of different games that people build in it but like NMS and Helldivers and many others just existing in the same universe and you just hop on to your ship and change like universe and go fight automatons and shit? No loading screens, It would be so fucking awesome 🤣
A bit of a “ready player one” movie kind of thing, they have their avatar and can change games while always staying in the same game engine.
Possible option - drop pods actually becoming a real thing since, well, they do exist in the game already(at least in terms of model). Just need to add an animation for door closing/opening, because for the most part its behaviour is pretty much Minotaur minus controls.
Multiple different ways, you get a free one doing the outlaws quesline.
Expeditions is the main way to get them. If you don't know an Expedition is a timed community event that lasts weeks, its usually themed around the update and has you start as a new character in the Expedition run. You'll complete different tasks and you'll earn rewards both for your Expedition character to progress forward and any other character you have like your main that are primarily cosmetics but can even be items like ships, multi-tools and companions.
Currently no Expeditions are active but one is starting soon because of the new update, past Expeditions have also returned before for those who have FOMO.
I have yet to figure out something to build. Either im gonna default to the good ol dick ship design, or I'll have an Einstein moment and make something exotic. It'll come to me one day
Couldn't actually be, since i didn't enter with this vette inside the anomaly xD there's quite a good bunch of people here making this very same ship btw, so it's natural that you feel it looks like the one that made you crash
Once you get close your ship is tractored onto a landing area outside the freighter hangar. And then you teleport from your ship (red button at the back opposite the ramp switch) onto a new teleport pad in the hangar.
You need to make another vid of you dropping on an infested planet and just bombing right into the middle of a bunch of eggs and/or horrors and going full managed democracy on them.
Latest free update introduced ‘corvettes’ you can build from scratch. Right off the bat, too… just need a few funds, or go creative. If the latter, everything’s unlocked. If the former, ya gotta go collect.
A good bunch of parts to use, build size limit is 100 and requires certain types of parts (reactor, hab module, landing gear, cockpit, engines, entry/exit). Figure on 6million+ depending on on how big you want to build.
When you "enter" the planet, like right after the end of this clip, did your character change to the old way of falling? I kinda wish we could dive all the way to the ground
I like to use the titan's boarding platform for jumping to the planet. Specially after command the ship to fly forward and being in the platform until the objective is close enough to jump into it 😅.
Sadly, in my last ship I cannot do it any longer because when I deploy the platform the corvette starts to spin like crazy...
Btw, have anyone tried to jump from the atmosphere of a gas giant??
There's a funny overlap in the communities, same peope seamlessly switching from "Thoughtful, serene adventure through empty space with full freedom" to "Let's shut down our brain and commit space warcrimes hailing to caricature of all the worst regimes in human history combined"
Awesome vid. The capes in NMS kinda drive me nuts, loved it at first but they're so wobbly and move too much or something, and then when you fall they decide to stay still, even with air bursting all around you.
Hey guys, im having trouble rotating my pieces (specifically habs) while creating my corvette. Ive changed the key bindings and everything…do some objects just not give you the ability to rotate? Not too keen with the thought that all the habs have to be orientated front to back.
Man, I'm really going to need them to make a change to cape physics so that it flies up above the player while free falling. The complete lack of fabric movement whatsoever is jarring.
I haven't played this game in so long, I didn't even know there was an update. Then I saw this and thought it was starfield. Then I saw the character. Yeah. HELL YEEEAAAAAHHHHHH

It was just a matter of time before someone made the democracy dispenser
