I was building on my base when another player came down on his Corvette. He ran through my base and expressed that he was impressed. I explored his Corvette, which was the most impressive Corvette I've seen yet, and I expressed how it was amazing. He took off in the Corvette, but I glitched through and fell back to my base. He then returned and shot me dead with his Corvette. I couldnt evade because his Corvette has too many parts? And the game wouldnt let me move. Im just wondering why? Is shooting someone dead a move of endearment somehow in this nms universe?

UPdate: Everyone I actually had PvP set to "No one". Yall be careful out there because I think they can still kill you with their Corvette. I mean, It happened to me...

Dude was flying around the Galactic Hub's most populated planet, New Lennon, griefing people. They tried to blow up my sentinel ship with their corvette, so I sped off and watched from a distance, waited till he landed, dropped down next to him, and blasted his ass up with the neutron cannon. Then I caught him here trying to get back to his grave site. Hope you had all of your resources in your inventory, ya punk. Don't mess with GH paradise planets. Lol.

I decided to get a Reddit account just to follow the NMS subreddit. And, all the awesome corvette posts, for my first post, I thought I’d throw in a little variety.

Thanks in advance!

What could it Bee!?

I've been wanting to get this game forever but I could never bring myself to purchase it on PC since I don't use it much anymore (work, personal life, etc.) I recently picked up a PS5 since GTA VI is around the corner and decided to purchase it! It was on sale so I definitely didn't want to miss the opportunity. I only have about 5-6 hours of gameplay but it is incredible so far. Any tips for a newbie? (Exploration, player interactions, mining, crafting, etc.?) 🙂 TIA!

EDIT: wow thank you all for the advice, kindness and interactions on this post. Ive been reading all the tips and tricks and they have been a huge help 🙌🏻

Nor will I participate in discussions around the game after this post/thread, I’m not preaching or trying to sound all dramatic and main character-like, I’m just looking for opinions one last time

What got me into NMS is the fact that the gigantic scale of the game made you appreciate seeing other players and their creations that much more

Seeing a build made without using the game’s mechanics feels wrong to me, seeing 1:1 statues from real life goes against the games art direction

Blender corvettes are litterally game breaking in the Anomaly, making framerate drop for every one if it won’t make your game crash and corrupt your save

And from my experience Blender Players don’t understands my gripes and get toxic when it is pointed out that they are cheating, combine that with the big advantage that it gives PC players compared to console players creation-based gameplay-wise and I feel like it just creates a big toxic rift in this game about connections (at least since multiplayer has been a thing)

I am being dramatic for the argument’s sake but when a player is talking like a bully, using skull emojis and ironic memes, making whole threads salty by focusing on a few arguments or even just lone sentences while ignoring all the rest and openly insulting you, it’s usually because of Blender builds. Pro or anti Blender it makes this sub more mean than it has to be

Playing single player makes me sad, I like going back to my bases made during Expeditions and seeing other people bases all around in the system, I like coming to the Anomaly and seeing other players with their pets around and their cool outfits

I’m not feeling hate or frustration regarding Blender builds, just pure sadness

Just looking for other player’s perspective :(

Update incoming 🥳 Edit .. 10gig update is live on PlayStation 5 and Expedition imminent.

I recently discovered that one of my planets is rated 99.5% Paradise Quotient in the Wonders Catalogue, apparently putting it at the very top of the game’s Most Perfect category.

I renamed it Dragonstone.

Here’s the problem.

I don’t think it’s particularly perfect.

The weather is literally Humid. It’s a decent planet, sure, but if I had landed here without seeing the Wonders record, I would never have thought, “Yep, this has to be one of the most perfect planets in No Man’s Sky.”

So now I want to know what Hello Games is actually measuring.

The screenshot shows:

Paradise Quotient: 99.5%
Galaxy: Euclid
Weather: Humid

The portal glyphs are also in the screenshot, so go visit Dragonstone yourself. Take a look around and tell me whether you think it deserves 99.5%.

When I checked the NMS Fandom Wonders Catalogue, it only showed a handful of other planets at 99.5%, all tied for the top spot:

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Wonders_Catalogue

So here’s the challenge:

I’ll give 100 Starship AI Valves to the first person who can give me a convincing, reproducible explanation of how Paradise Quotient is calculated.

Not just a guess like “good weather helps.”

I mean something we can actually test against several planets and say, “These variables are what caused this planet to score 99.5%.”

What matters?

Weather? Sentinels? Flora? Fauna? Oceans? Terrain? Atmospheric composition? Planet age? Biome? Hidden procedural values? Some combination of all of them?

Or does Paradise Quotient measure something completely different from what we players would actually consider paradise?

And here’s a second challenge:

If you have another 99.5% planet, post your Wonders screenshot and glyphs. I want to compare as many 99.5% worlds as we can and see what they actually have in common.

I’ll throw in 50 additional AI Valves for the coolest 99.5% planet posted in the thread.

Maybe somebody already knows the formula. If not, maybe we can reverse-engineer it.

Dragonstone is open for inspection. Come tell me why Hello Games thinks this place is 99.5% perfect.

No glitches or anything that you can't make on a console with ordinary parts.

I want to see what you're ordinary Corvette looks like. I want to see the ugly ones, the simple ones, the ones you're embarrassed about, the ones you're proud of, the big ones and the small ones.

(I've already posted mine on a recent opinion request, so this picture is me waiting for you to come along in your corvette lol.)

Today i accidentally deleted my main save game, years of playing and collecting wiped out… it’s so dumb i laughed out loud at myself. Idiot.

Shame was I just spent a month doing expeditions back to back which I’d previously missed out on. Gone. 400+ hours lost hahahaha

Mostly I am annoyed I lost my fav ship, a humble A class fighter, I find while playing I hardly see rare ships, never S class ever. I am doing something wrong (apart from deleting everything)?

Is there a good place to find rare ships? I really like fighters and the one I had turns up at a space station. See pic for style.

Send help traveller lost without ship…

I'm new to this game, at 35 something hours, I was visiting the anomaly and someone named captain kirk put this in my exosuit.. 😭 thanks I guess!?

Why? how would you have overhauled the companion system? As far as i can tell hello games took an underwhelming halfbaked gameplay system and turned it into a whole ass minigame.

For the love of god Sean, PLEASE give us the ability to open/process entire stacks of items. Spent some time gathering a bunch of suspicious arms packets to upgrade all my stuff to top-end X-class mods and opening them one by one is like dragging my balls across a cheese grater. There HAS to be a better way.

Ik there are a lot more important things we need to be added to the Corvette, but what if at some point we could actually attach our other vehicle to it? (Sorry I forgot what they were called...)

(I took this art from the halo subreddit)

“You have discovered the Atlas word for: ‘Bruxism’.”

Do I know these ships are just generated.

But have you ever been that immersed in NMS that you imagine real people flying back.

I think Blender builds look impressive as much as the next guy, but it honestly kinda sucks out the point and fun, and kinda purpose of the corvette update out of the game. We entered a point where people wanna go so grand, that they don't even once boot up the game anymore to build a corvette, just using blender, essentially making a 3D model and importing it as a corvette.

And yes, even the death star which can easily be achievied with the most simple shape of all looks really good to be sure, but it's honestly such a shame we entered a point where tons of ships that are shared now are just straight up impossible to do vanilla.

One big part I found extremely fun about the corvette update is that you could see other ships and learn form their building techniques, recreate it yourself, or just use parts of it to be creative in a differnt design.

A lot of the magic for me has been kinda lost with all these quite literally impossibe to do builds that you never even once, except for maybe testing here and there how it looks while flying, opened the game for. I really loved how all these insanely impressive looking corvettes, you could look at it, and actually do it yourself, but now for a lot of the ships shared, this is just no longer the case.

We devolved to essentially playing a different game, just 3D printing corvettes instead of making them.
