Outside of survival mode (or permadeath) the game is pretty easy going, mostly its about exploring and enjoying the ambience. There are planets which will deplete suit reserves faster than normal but the game does a pretty good job of showing you that happening, and if you're careful keeping on top of your supplies you should never find yourself in a situation where you can't just flee any planet that looks rough.

Even survival and permadeath are easy once you get of your starter planet and get up and running.
Grindy, but certainly not difficult.

This is still confusing. May choose to? So no random encounters? Or yes?
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.
Someone has already tweeted that he ran into a random player in a space station
If dogfighting is your primary concern, NMS isn't the game for you. It's faaaaar from the focus of the game, just a little side activity that can happen every now and then on the way to other things. It's decent, but definitely nothing you should buy the game for. You technically COULD spend most of your time in your ship, but that sounds really awful. 99% of the game content is on foot.
Yes. Seems like it's 16 people per lobby (or universe/solar system, it's not clear which one yet)
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?
I sure hope I am wrong, because 16 players would be great.
But my experiences in this community is that the best attitude is to be skeptical about everything that is not confirmed.
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.
That's a good point, once you get established in those modes its not that difficult.
I know from the old place 1.3 thread plenty of people managed but the most difficult thing I've done was the armourer mission to destroy the ships in orbit, everything else wasn't too bad at all.
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.
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.

But did that player then somehow choose to join that server? Otherwise it seems INCREDIBLY unlikely that they'd just accidentally run into each other in this specific space station out of the millions or billions in the galaxy.
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.
How do you know they were all players? There was a bunch of sentinels running about in a pack, did you assume they were playable too?
Your jumping to conclusions, assuming features from a 2sec clip in a 1min trailer are what's wrong here. Stop assuming and just wait. No one's asking you to pre-order and no-one is trying to scam you. Just stop and wait.
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.
I can't promise it'll be wall to wall team members mind, but for finding ERA peeps I've had good luck in other community Discord channels, plus its more intimate than the official NMS discord which is hectic :)

No offense, but it's not a Day 1 patch if it's not day 1. We are all making assumptions here but it has been mentioned that even the leakers are saying the game right now does not feel like the final version for NEXT's release.
Yeah, I just meant is it an Xbox discord or just a NMS discord?
I can understand the second part of your text because that is correct, there seems to be at least one more patch coming, but this quote, in general, is bollocks.
Plenty of "Day One" patches are downloadable days before the game releases. It would be not the first time, nor the 75th time.

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.
:D
I own it on PC but I kinda want this as a "console" game somehow. Waiting for impressions from you folks then :)
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 ;)
Simultaneously the best and worst pre order things you can get TBH, great cos they don't mess up the balance, terrible because they don't mess up the balance :)
Early game I wouldn't try and find that perfect place to sell stuff on, space is limited and you probably won't have the economy scanner to help find affluent systems anyway, I'd sell things quick even if under value to keep your limited inventory clear and get cash to expand that, only then consider keeping high value things to sell for profit.
I'd say the same for the general "cultural artefacts" and such, though (prior to NEXT) a lot of those are required for missions/crafting so I try and keep them if I'm able so I don't need to hunt them specifically. I found using the colossus as a storage device rather than a vehicle helped too.
Like you say though straysheep it call all be turned on its head tomorrow.

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'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).
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.
Truly, monstrous. :)
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.
Played this at the studio with the lead art team last week and had a blast, looking damn forward to jumping back in. Haven't played since Foundation eighteen months ago.
I'd definitely recommend starting over. The new start of the game (since Atlas was released) eases you into the different systems in a much better way, and apparently that has been improved yet again in Next.
This happened to my home planet after the Atlas Rises update - it was a beautiful, bountiful world of lush grass, majestic topography and passive wildlife. When I came back it was an acid-scorched, 300-degree hell-scape swept by radioactive storms and and toxic gas.
In 24 hours (23h 45m), again.
Jesus Christ, just go to the Microsoft store where you bought it and it says exactly when it unlocks, like always. :D
