If they continue on these lines, these would probably be the next to arrive, as they are no additional effort to integrate with the current world.
These are quite a bit tougher due to terrain integration, but that could be solved by just flattening like it is done for current bases. They couldn’t get too large, though…
I would love that, but they would be a pain to integrate. It would require advanced knowledge of appreciable swaths of terrain to place them. Honestly, I have no idea how that could be done reliably. The only feasible option might be to regenerate the terrain around them, but that could lead to all kinds of weird artifacts and probably be heavily unoptimised, unless they can embedd their general shape into the terrain generation itself… which is probably not something the terrain engine was designed to accommodate. Then again, the necessary hook to flatten terrain around bases could probably be abused for something like that…
Even better… imagine if we get a real enemy in the game, and this sort of gameplay is applied to infiltrating their bases, stations or freighters? (or defending your own freighters and frigates from boarding parties?)
One other thing that piqued my curiosity about the Desolation update was the Title available for entering a special system. Has anyone unlocked this title or know what a “Special System” is?
I believe that the type of derelict (hazard, contents) may be tied to the region of space. If I warp to a different region then the derelict changes to slime, remotes, jellies, nothing, etc.
I noticed that too. A hand full of titles were locked for me and some of those were obvious why I didn’t have them but there was a few that I had no idea how to obtain.
I worry about the wisdom of placing parts from these derelict, virus and vermin infested freighters on our own freighters. I hope we don’t regret this.
On PS4, we are getting a regular crash upon leaving a derilict freighter.
If we head towards a planet or a space station, as the game ‘thinks’ about what’s coming into view, it just crashes.
This loses all progress from whatever the last save point prior to entering the derilict, which can be quite some time.
Seems to happen most often in Permadeath saves for some reason.
I’ve found the solution is to pulse away into clear space, (only stars), just far enough away to call in my Capital Ship & then immediately land & establish an autosave restore point ASAP.
Avoids a ton of repeated effort.
Patch Notes
A range of new base building parts have been added. These are based upon the decoration inside derelict freighters. The blueprints can be acquired by searching salvage crates found inside derelict freighters.
Fixed an issue that could cause a unpassable corridor to be generated in certain derelict freighters.
Fixed a number of issues that could cause planetary creatures to fail to spawn.
Fixed an issue that could cause particle effects to stop playing.
Expanded the Nexus exploration mission to also include flora and minerals.
Fixed an issue that could prevent other people’s discoveries from advancing multiplayer exploration missions.
Fixed an issue that prevented the Chef title from unlocking after impressing Cronus.
Reduced the priority of the Emergency Broadcast Detector and Salvage Opportunity hints so that they do not block other mission messages.
Fixed a number of issues that could cause the Anomaly Detector and Emergency Broadcast Detector to perpetually fail to locate an object, blocking progress.
Added procedural atmospheric fog effects to the interior of derelict freighters.
Fixed an issue that caused a soft light to follow the player into caves and other dark spaces.
Fixed a number of small visual artifacts in the lighting system.
Fixed a number of visual issues with the intensity of starship trails and engine glow.
Fixed an issue that caused a number of lighting issues for metallic surfaces.
Fixed a number of issues that could occur when declining or accepting a group invite.
Fixed an issue that caused the hit indicator to flash incorrectly for some ship and Multi-Tool modes.
Fixed an issue that could cause inappropriate items to appear in the artifact crates at the heart of buried ruins.

Fixed an issue with abandoned Space Stations that prevented players from landing, and could cause a crash when deploying system authority starships.
Fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash while saving.
Fixed a number of issues that could cause the game to crash during loading.
Fixed an issue that could cause the game to become unresponsive during loading.
Fixed an issue that could cause very large save games to crash during load.
