I have been out of town all day. What the heck does it mean?
Some are asking hello? Or goodbye?
Some say Signal.
This makes sense with Void Mother about to manifest herself.

Well Hello there!
Could be a straight-ish reading like Beacon again (Waves?). Iāve also seen Arrival get thrown around a bit, which could relate to both the Void Mother or Corvettes IMO?

I was thinking āwavesā because of the info that had been going around about potential water bases or āboatsā. And as we know, LNF is going to have boats, so it may be coming to NMS for us to test it out.
But if it has to do with āhelloā or āgoodbyeā, I think its likely āhelloā and maybeā¦ just maybeeeeā¦ its a new LNF trailer.(Doubt it)
We could also be looking too much into it too. Could literally be just a hand waving? Perhaps a new social hub, or multiplayer update with improved/added multiplayer activities.
Thats all i got.

I have a spaceship that can fly over, and land on, water. I have a nautilon that can travel under and on the surface of water, I have a nomad exocraft that will hover over water, and I have a fishing platforrm that will sit on the surface of water.
Aside from testing a LNF asset, why would I want a boat?

Iām on the same boat as you. (Pun intended) Lol. But I wouldnāt be in rudder disbelief if they do add it. But its a free update so, the oar the merrier. And in a sandbox game, its knot a bad addition. (Okay im done)
But im sure the base builders would love it.
Edit: The Anomaly could really use an update if you ask me. It looks fine, and its functions are fine, but I feel like it should have been expanded on a long time ago now. There is still an unused empty kiosk, and a door that we cant enter due to an invisible wall, and a much larger door in the far back of the 2nd floor that doesnt open, the two where nada and polo are, the perpetually broken landing pad, Ariadne has been standing there silently plotting our destruction for YEARS now but doing nothing about it, the other NPCs have also been standing there silently too, and I hate space Gordan Ramsey.
(That last one was personal)

If weāre really lucky, multiple releases are about to come in waves.

Iāve thought for a long time that in the build-up to the Light No Fire launch, Hello Games would seek to maximise the active NMS player base. It means theyāre talking directly to their most receptive customers.
I have also thought that was where the Atlas / Void Mother story arc was heading. I thought the story would lead us to a big, spectacular showdown between the two super AIs - and maybe they would fight it out, maybe they would compromise, maybe they would merge - but there would be a big denoument.
And then, when everyoneās hooked in to the conclusion of the Void Mother story, Hello Games would announce the future of Light No Fire.
Well it didnāt happen. The Void Mother story went quiet. There was no news about Light No Fire. Then the expeditions turned into a series of reruns, or relatively small tweaks of already existing assets. The last update didnāt even result in any expedition at all. My feeling was that there was something going on in the background, and we were just waiting for it to happen, marking time, being kept on āholdā.
So I think that if the next update involves developments in the Void Mother story, thatās very significant - and indicates that Hello Games are back on track with their plan.

I agree. I see VM and the Atlas being ārejoinedā and the start of a brand new simulation thus ushering in LNF.
But I also see them placing a loophole into the narrative so that those who choose, can remain in the endless NMS simulation.
Therefore, the hand could be both hello and goodbye. Whichever you choose.
Big meetup at the Pub today.

No Mans Sky is making Waves online with the #ad campaign, obviously 
But remember, when you use the Emote entitled āwaveā in game, your character sayās āOVER HERE!ā
So I have cracked the code, you can thank me in your speechesā¦
No Mans Sky: OVER HERE!
Youāre welcome 
In all seriousness, the ad campaign has been a focus on community building around an existing and well known game.
Waving is one of the universal signs understood around the world in more or less every community.
So it will most likely be an update focused on community. The addition of ship races have been in the data for a while now, as well as a few other things that might fit this bill that have yet to come to light (like the new base build camera, the corvettes etc)

Iām a bit late to the speculation party but my guess is an update/expedition with āGreetingsā as part of its contents.
Meeting races, learning words, communicating with animals, talking to trees, pet rocksā¦ something along those lines.

I suppose I would prefer it to be signals / waves (as in radio waves) - we start getting messages from elsewhere in the universe, and we have to track them down and deal with them.
Just a personal preference - but it would be nice if they were from the Void Motherās little helpers - and we were set tasks to advance her cause.
