There's no patch certification process on Steam, so it'll go live whenever Hello feels like publishing it.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread but considering getting the upcoming One release and just wonder how difficult is the game to begin with on normal difficulty? I don't know a huge amount about the weather system but wonder how long you can withstand the hazards on the planets before needing to recharge.
I am aware. Right now I am just going to assume that this is the old menu still left in there, to be patched out day 1.
This is still confusing. May choose to? So no random encounters? Or yes?
Thank you very much for this more in depth answer. Unfortunately the dogfighting situation does not sound very appealing. So the problem is the AI and not the controls. With substantial amount of dogfighting I meant that there is enough dogfighting for a play-style where you spent the majority in your space ship. I am not much interested in survival game mechanics or cataloging random stuff. I guess I check in a month or so when enough people should be acquainted with this new patch if it improves the dogfighting.

I think you're wrong here, but we'll see soon enough.I am aware. Right now I am just going to assume that this is the old menu still left in there, to be patched out day 1.
Sean would have happily mentioned 16 players if that was the case. Especially since you now can travel between populated areas of Euclid so easily.
I sure hope I am wrong, because 16 players would be great.
Yes. Seems like it's 16 people per lobby (or universe/solar system, it's not clear which one yet)

Even survival and permadeath are easy once you get of your starter planet and get up and running.
Grindy, but certainly not difficult.
With this community there is something you must understand. We tend to make shit about the game up, often in direct conflict with what HG say officially.
Sean has said that multiplayer is playing co-op with a small number of friends, this is what you should expect, despite what the community says.
This is from the disc version of the NEXT update, which is an old build, likely 1-2 months old. Everything in there could change with the day 1 patch.
Seeing as there's placeholders and missing functionality according to leakers we're still thinking the 4.8 GB download is NEXT rather than the day 1 patch.And here is something you must understand.
He already showed 5 people on one screen in the trailer.
End of story.
The "Day One Patch" came 2 days ago and was 4,8gb big. So "1-2 months old build" is literally wrong and yes the leaker played with that patch.

I think they fixed the jerky mouse movement in the Pathfinder update if I'm not mistaken. It's a lot better now. The tethering options for flight control also work very well with a mouse in my opinion: as you move the mouse around an indicator will move around and stretch out from the targeting reticle giving you very precise feedback on which way and how hard you're turning your ship. You can use the old method though still if you like. You can also now look around the cockpit by holding down Alt.I haven't played this since around launch when I put like 30 hours into it, but I distinctly remember the controller feeling *much* better than mouse and keyboard. Is that still the case?

As I recall they seemed to go out as the patch was live, 1.3 patch notes went up on August 11th last year.When did they release the patch notes for the last big updates? A day before they went live?
Is the discord cross-platform? I'd like to find some PS4 peeps to space out with.

Of course, there's no preference from what I've seen and there's nothing in it that is "locked" to a particular platform.
Think you'll likely need to start your own saves to begin with, but you can certainly join each other after that without needing to manually find and travel to one another. You will all need to be playing the same mode though.So do we know how grouping up in multiplayer is going to work? Will we be able to start a new game directly with our buddies or will everyone need to start alone and travel through half of the galaxy to find each other?
I kinda want to hop onto the X1X version but I also need some detailed information regarding framerate and so on... I guess I can wait until tomorrow :)
:D

how does fast travel work in this game?
for example, if i pick a planet and build a base on it and go out exploring the cosmos - do i have to fly all the way back home? or can i fast travel back to base and explore again?
Yeah I'm very interested in the 1X performance.
How useful are the pre order goodies? Do they mess up early game balance or are they worth getting?

I know it could change in 24 hours, but does anyone have some simple trading tips for early game NMS? I feel like everyone I talk to my items are below galactic value and I am never sure if the items found in random boxes on planets are worth keeping.
I'd say the pre-order goodies have next to no value, credits you'd make in little time and you'd possibly get a better multitool in a similar span. Only thing which may have some value would be the cosmetic suit, but that looks daft and anyone who likes it is a monster who should be ashamed ;)
I'm likely to give the game another go. Should I start fresh or continue my other save (It was just a normal save, no special mode or anything, made at launch). I've put in like 40 hours all before the game had any big changes so there is a lot I've not seen. I do remember loading my save at one point and finding my ship was changed (it was a nice white thing and replaced by a red one).
Hi, I'd just like to confirm that I am, in fact, a monster and am quite ashamed of myself. Hoping PlayStation gets a similar goofy looking cosmetic suit. :P

I'd start over and have a go at the new (story) progression. This should also ease you back in to all the new stuff added rather than being confronted by it all at once.
Like daxy said I'd start over, there's a lot of extra content (even before NEXT) and they did quite a good job of easing you in when starting from scratch.

I could totally go for a few hours of this to distract me from this British Summer at the moment. I doubt it's even getting a midnight release is it? Guess I'll jump in sometime tomorrow.
