Community Screenshots for #NMS10 submission

[DevilinPixy]

Creating this topic for discussion and to see if there is any interest in submitting one or more images for the NMS 10th Anniversary Discord who posted the following call for Community Screenshots:

Starting on May 1st, we’ll officially begin the public communication campaign and the countdown to the anniversary.

Along the way, we’d love to highlight communities from across the world through screenshots of Travellers.
From the early days of multiplayer to today, we’d love to help show that journey.

So this is a call to all of you: if you have screenshots you’d like to share, please post them here, whether it’s a Traveller alone, a meetup, or any other kind of shared activity. If you do share one, please add a little context as well.

Because the number of public posts will be limited, we may not be able to feature every screenshot, we’ll do our best to showcase as many as we can.

If there is interest, what image(s) do we wish to submit? Do we want to create new images with a planned get-together, or do we prefer to provide already existing imagery? I’d personally love to get involved in this, but let us discuss below!

Get-together date time we currently aim for:
Saturday 2026-05-30T18:00:00Z.
Please mark that date/time if you wish to be part of this.

A location is still being discussed.

Note: Make sure to stick to the public build of NMS, for better odds at having a compatible game ‘version’! (or have a backup ready to use if need be)

A poll has been created below to gather interest/attendance:

Community Screenshots for #NMS10 submission

A quick poll to check attendance for our planned Atlas CSD community photoshoot this upcoming Saturday 2026-05-30T18:00:00Z (UTC). It will help us to know interest ahead of time. We appreciate your vote below poll A location will likely be discussed last minute. Thank you!

I personally have a preference for a new and current get-together screenshot, which we can schedule and pick a location for. But I am fine with old imagery as well, which the forum has plenty of, or from personal archive as found below (to give an idea). We do of course try to represent our little community, possibly in a historical sense.

Not being all that much into MP myself, I don’t have all that many images of meetings, but hey, remember?

2017 U-Day @Polyphemus (I have a few more)

Ah, we were just little glowing balls of light in those days.

Of course, we were a lot younger then.

I don’t have anything too old, but focusing on community:

Here is a photo of the Black Edge Syndicate going on a sentinel hunt. (There is actually a YT video tied to this one)

Here is a photo of some Covenant of the Void Members:

I’m sure I have more, but this will do for now.

[zeff013]

I have warm memories of that day.

[DevilinPixy]

Maybe I should have clarified that this would have to be related to our forum community in some way, to be considered for our submission.

That said, if the Black Edge Syndicate, or the Covenant of the Void, are NMS communities themselves, I am sure the NMS 10th Anniversary Discord would welcome their representative(s) to join, if not already present. If further info or an invite is needed/wanted to get them in that Discord, let me know in DM and we can make that happen.

[Jaina_Siderea]

okay, no Problem. should I remove the post? I guess I thought it was a general NMS community thing.

I also admit, I had no idea about the NMS10 discord.

[DevilinPixy]

They are cool shots, I don’t mind if you keep them here for inspiration. Removing them now would make the discussion awkward.

The NMS 10 year Anniversary Discord is a Discord created to get NMS community representatives together to help organise a global NMS celebration event in an attempt to break online presence records as a thank you to Hello Games.

More detailed info and discussion you can find below:

NMS Discord Update 10 Year Celebration

Edit: We (ETARC) have been invited to participate in the planning and execution of the big 10 year party! More info will follow later. You can also get more info from @ThatBomberBoi Edit: if anyone has ideas about what they would like to do, please share! Just to clarify, there has been a discord set up for community leaders. We will relay info to our wonderful group here as it becomes available. [1000002182]

So cool to see these; indeed warms my heart! And wow, 6 years since last post??? Welcome back!!!

[toddumptious]

This is a lovely idea. The cataclysm caused by the meeting of myself and @Mad-Hatter certainly comes to mind, I also have some videos of first meetings/base visits to mad and @arpoja.

It would be fun to revisit these locations if the glyphs are obtainable and take new photos at these old stomping grounds. Like those photos adults take where they try to recreate their childhood photos.

Tracking down the planet I spawned in on launch day was another fun memory that bridges the two eras Id definitely like to share.

I’ll be home tomorrow so will start compiling some things.

I definitely gotta share some of my memories from waking titan too. Still my most popular post on reddit, it was a sly wink and a stab at some launch day complaints and haters who missed rhe ign video from 2015 that there would be no traditional multiplayer at launch but plans to expand and lead into it after launch, ultimately just me making fun of the haters.

[sheralmyst]

I would like to see us show up in our current avatars. There is so much more variety than back when. Maybe we could just gather in front of a portal and strike a pose.

[toddumptious]

Sorry for the confusion, of course we come in our current drip, some of the times I’m thinking, we were but bubbles. Rather than try to emulate being the same it would be more a comparison of how much has changed. Some of those planets will have changed biomes, some of those pillars of light may even be in space

All I know for sure is we cant do it on Etarcia, we’d be stuck to black and white photography on a planet that hates us

[sheralmyst]

You have something against the shiny oily look. I think it would be slick.

Sadly, @Polyphemus can no longer visit that system. He may have some pics from back when. Before the great galactic shift.

I could grab some pics of the shrine.

There is definitely an interesting story to be told.

[AdaRynin]

By community screenshots, you mean, screenshots that show members together? I think I posted some of these in another thread before. Well, this is me and Todd:

[sheralmyst]

I am available all day today for a group pic.

We just need a meet up place. Maybe we should decide that first.

How about @AdaRynin 's planet that was voted on in the event planet poll? It has nice weather and nice views.

We could do a secondary pic at the Etarc shrine for those who are brave enough to venture there

[toddumptious]

Im away at the moment, was hoping to be home by now but I’m at the whims of the driver and they keep finding more reasons to hang on for longer

Hopefully be back in the next few hours

I got psvr2 now so looking forward to doing silly things with my arms.

[sheralmyst]

For those who may not have ever visited the old Etarc hub. The names have all changed and people have claimed all sorts of things. There are a few bases around.

I changed the message on the message module.

and to make the place even more ominous @toddumptious , the planet now experiences random electrical storms

[toddumptious]

That brief period between worlds pt 1 and pt 2 when it became a lush wonderland again was nice, i finished building the school around the ruins and when it switched back to the hell hole, the ruins also changed orientation and left a bunch of stuff floating, so i dismantled most of it and left the remainder in ruin to match the current state.

Schooooools out! for! Ever!

[BoomstickJoe]

Here’s a few of my old pics.

[DevilinPixy]

Those are lovely shots, but let me remind everyone, we are after screenshots of travellers to highlight our community, whether it’s a Traveller alone, a meetup, or any other kind of shared activity.
See the top post.

That said, we are currently aiming at Saturday 2026-05-30T18:00:00Z, so please mark that date/time if you wish to be part of this. A location is still being discussed. Also see top post and pinned: Announcements: NMS 10 Year Anniversary
