Hello Everyone!
It’s been exciting to see the range of ways players have been exploring the features introduced in our exocraft update - from pushing the limits of the Pilgrim’s grip and suspension, to matching the colour schemes between bases and exocraft. Thank you so much for playing and for sharing. It really makes us feel like we’re on this journey together with all of you.
Listening to you, the players, is an essential part of this journey for us. This week we are reaching out with a survey to discover more about what the community is most interested in seeing in No Man's Sky. Please take this opportunity to have your voice heard!
Community Research Update
Polo has been deeply immersed in their analysis of the co-ordinates retrieved from the decrypted data packet, cross-comparing against the Anomaly's extensive databanks. They are still lost in data, processing an infinite spread of realities, looking for any pattern to identify the source of this location's importance - but a new, more pressing development has emerged.
Data is one of Polo’s greatest passions - but friendship is even more important to them. The Space Anomaly has detected the ship signature of an old Traveller-friend - someone Nada and Polo had thought lost long ago. Polo requests that explorers venture forth, locate their friend, and bring them home - but ensure to keep a low profile and not draw the eye of the Sentinels.
From the Quicksilver Synthesis Bot
Polo's Quicksilver bot has been busy synthesising a new set of collectables for participating explorers...
A nostalgic statue of the icon Alpha Vector starship, cast in bronze, silver, and gold.
Two new gadgets for explorer bases: A spherical hologram, representative of any one of the quintillions of celestial bodies populating the galaxies, and a fascinating expanding cube, utilising a high-tech localised gravitational field purely for aesthetic curiosity.
And a new gesture for explorers to express their wonder at any fauna, flora, landmark, building, or starry expanse that might catch their eye.
Development Update
Today we have also released another update for the game that addresses some important issues and enables the option for tessellation for players on PC (for prettier, bumpier terrain). Specialist Polo also has a new, close-to-home request for explorers participating in their research missions.
Thank you so much,
Sean
