Right, even larger studios could never afford the kind of pre-release QA feedback you can get in the days immediately following an at least modestly successful game release. There's just no substitute.

Great to hear that you fixed it, and thanks for explaining the solution! I don't think you'll be the only one going into that trap
yeah it is so very impressive...my game crashes every 2 minutes and i can´t even leave the second planet i am on...
sorry but i can just shake my head to comments like that, the game is fucking broken at points: people can´t load their saves from yesterday, people have their OG saves altered with obsolete tech and ships getting changed. people can´t even play for 5 minutes without crashing and there are people talking about an "impressive accomplishment"?
it might not affect you to the point that the game is unplayable, others ARE affected to the point that it is unplayable. I don´t care if it is a small team, a big team or a tag team of 2 people, just make sure that your game at least runs without constant crashes! i can´t even comment in which ways the experience is altered because i am stuck at the base building point where my game crashes all the time...
i have never ever, even in my WoW times over ten years ago(!) experienced a game where a part of the community straight up denies problems others are having, relativizing every thing others are experiencing and babbling about "great experiences" when others can´t even play the game! it is tiring and helps nobody to go up in straight denial about problems the game is having. and boy, this game does have some massive problems at the moment. it is wildly inconsistent in it´s performance and straight up broken for a part of the community.
a community is about sticking together and not blaming others for having problems/being straight up annoyed because the game just doesn´t run. read through the "Bug Megathread" on Reddit, 2,5k people are posting about bugs, glitches, crashes and there are people in straight denial over those problems? it´s completely offputting at this point...
"but this... but that..." just stop it and trust the people with what they are saying, there are massive issues with the game and this update should have never rolled out in this state.
So I've found a Morrowind like planet that's relatively stable. Time to start reconstructing Balmora.
How'd you get the blueprints for this stuff? Is it just through the bp researcher or are you playing creative?
Do planets actually get more extreme later on (closer to the center)? I've never travelled far into the galaxy in previous patches..
Don't know if you ever got an answer, but just in case. Recruitable frigates will have a green icon. Just fly close to them and they will hail you. Bring up your communicator to reply.
My Freighter:
I had to save up millions to get my first one.
It's old.
The cargo capacity is way too small.
Has no tech.
Its width is unwieldy and limits zones of fire.
I wish I could spend 300m to upgrade it with more slots and such.My freighter is pretty crappy, but I've grown so attached to the thing. At least three people have randomly died attacking while I was inside handling fleet business.
Oh yeah, my freighter has a good half dozen quality combat frigates.
Found a good half-decent system to set some roots in while I hunt for tech and continue to maintain/build up my fleet. This update is great.
I'm finding the performance on my PS4 Pro @1080p almost unplayable, it's terrible, framerate constantly tanking :(
I thought it was supposed to be 60FPS @1080p?
How's the PC performance? Tempted to buy it for that now it's half price. (4790k, 16BG DDR3, GTX980ti, SSD - 1440p G-Sync 144hz monitor)

i did but I didn't see anything to collect once I killed all the bugs . Should I have stuck around and kept killing them ?
Im getting a mostly stable 60 at 1080p/medium with an i5-4460 and GTX 980.
You should be fine
My patience ran out the moment they fuck with my ships. In my 370 hours of lonely space travels there was someone there always with me, my ship. And now they fucked it up changing its design. Its only diferent wings, but its some ugly diferent wings. I also had 4 exotic ship one of them was gorgeous. They all look the same model now, i have 4 same looking ugly exotics. Why the need to remake everething? I understand the need to wipe out the bases as the biomes get new regenerations, but the ships and previous upgrades dont make any sence to make everething obsolete. All my hard work of upgrading everething whent down the drain and now they expect me to repeat the tedious hours of grinding and fing the blueprints all over again? HELL NO!!
They could have added new materials, and better upgrades without changing everething up. If u want to make a NMS 2 just make it and sell it. But dont fuck up hundreds of hours to guys like me that is playing the game since launch. They already wiped a good chunk of progress in the last update and now they did the same but even worst making everething obsolete, and expecting me to go to square 1 just with a ritch bank account.
As good as this update looks in theory, i would rather roll back to the old patch and stay there even if meant to play offline. But i cant even do that. I always defended Hello Games, and i aplaud they dedication to the game with all the free updates. But u dont fuck up the progress of ppl that is playing ur game for 2 years. This patch killed the game for me.
A new addition to my home planets:
Found a downed ship and almost died by walking off the MASSIVE cliff:

I believe that you just summon whatever ship you want through the quick menu. I've never tried it, but you can probably summon it onto your freighter.
Yes to both.
I was playing by myself Tuesday, and was in a space station running around exploring and customizing my character when I saw another player running in the background of my customization menu. XD
I didn't know the player at all, and so we started chatting, then we hopped down to another planet and started exploring and he built a shelter, then eventually peaced out. It was really cool.
Later he sent me a friend request. Lol
I have no idea how the ship loading works now. I have six ships. Sometimes they're all in my hangar when I load, but usually not. Real pain in the ass. I hope the solution becomes to reserve 1 landing pad for your ships so that you can call up whichever one you need at any time.
My workaround right now is to land on a planet and recall the ship I need. Doesn't matter if you leave a ship behind you can recall it at any time and it will also randomly show up in your freighter when the game loads them.
At least something? Those patch notes list a ton of fixes, especially for crashes people are having. And the game has only been out two days. What else do you want them to do? I doubt they're getting much sleep; they're a tiny team of 25 people who made this insanely big game and doing the best they can.
I'm certainly not defending the state of the game; I think people who have stuck with the game are just used to bugginess when a new update drops. HG always get it sorted within a few minor updates. This one is especially buggy because it's especially big. I'd also say, from the obvious problems like the audio distortion, they probably ran out of time. They had a hard launch date for the Xbox launch they couldn't easily change, so they were probably working on the day 1 patch right up until day 1.
I'm not asking you to hand wave away problems, but cut them a little slack man. The bugs are frustrating for sure, but it'll get worked out soon.
I'd be a bit more suspicious if it were a volcano.
I have one of those haulers and I've never found one with more slots. That does look like a lot of repairs though!
It's a bug I think.
I'm missing my "squid" ship from the last update and my current ship, which used to be an Exotic S-class, is now just a boring Hauler.
There are numerous bugs they're working on - just have to be patient. I still can't build a Fleet Command room in my Freighter on Creative mode :(
So, I'm just base-building and doing the other quests in the meantime. We've been through this before with NMS and HG. It's just one of those things. Sucks, but it's worth it IMO.
These should be the patch notes for the latest steam update

pt 2.
I'm willing to bet it works like this.
If you load into a zone with active NPC ships your ships won't load. Your freighter is flagged as an active landing zones to NPCs so your ships won't have a potential pad to be slotted into.
If you load into a zone without active NPC ships your ships will load. Your freighter will first use pads for your ships and then reserve pads for NPCs to land on.
Something along those lines. Loading your freighter slightly away from traffic may improve the chances of your ship spawning.
Maybe.
Yeah, you have to land on a planet to use that method.
So I think they've added the one thing this game has been painfully missing since launch. They added the Emergent Gameplay. I'm playing on a 150hr Survival save file with most things completed, and now there's so much interest in nebulous things to aimlessly do, the gameplay loop has become wildly diverse for me. This is what was so addictive about Minecraft for me. The mechanics are there with such an aimless objective, and you can create your own aims.
Also, I will NEVER allow somebody to tell me that the co-op experience in this game isn't near perfect already. I've had my viewers joining my survival game during my live streams and everything from helping the new players to the mode, sharing resources, joint builds, etc, is just too good

Its one more bug. Yes ur ships should be inside the freighter ready to fly. But they will only appear there if u quit the game inside the freigter and reload the game. If u respawn inside the freighter ur ships will be there. Only other way is to summer the ship u want, but u need to be on a planet to do that. Welcome to the NEXT wave of bugs.
Thanks! No one answered me before.

That's actually amazing.
I tested this last night.
No, you will not be able to edit the base when solo.
Whoever initially made the base is the owner. If you are in the owners party, you can edit their bases.
Once the owner logs off, the base becomes inactive and you are treated as a guest.
EDIT: I hope they add features to permanently invite friends to co-own bases.
I love the portrait crop on your first pic. Gives it such a different feel to most shots at standard 16:9 with some ultrawide. Might start trying to crop some pics that way at just off-square ratio.
Ah, that explains why I missed it.
Should have gone to specsavers.
Your gripe has less to do with bugs and more to do with their deployment strategy. I'm not going to second guess them on why they had to make so many changes to the content in existing saves. Some of it I can understand based on what we've seen of the new game so far, and some of it I can't yet account for. I do think they probably should have just made a clearer break from the earlier 1.x releases and just called this NMS 2. Then leave existing players to decide if they want to upgrade or not.
Nobody is denying it's a buggy experience right now. But for a lot of people they are forgiving those bugs for the moment because they basically delivered the major features that were expected at launch. There are some great moments to be had here. Steam reviews are mostly positive right now. The glass is 10% empty. We all know it. But most are focusing on the glass being 90% full. Sorry for you if it's totally broken though seriously.
Well, you are an old git ;)
I await your presence with beer in hand.
That and given HG's track record, they do a good job getting rid of the major bugs relatively quickly. Also, the scale of a game like this is bound to be janky at least to some extent, so I kind of have that expectation going in. I get that it could be a deal breaker for some, though.
You can boost up pretty high on some planets.

They need to add another lobby for private only. Yesterday, someone else has joined in my party and that dude was so persistent he tried to interrupt our production (ie. creating materials from the refiner) from using it. At least it has an optional to kick him out, so we did.
