Out of all the things I’ve done in this game, I couldn’t’ve imagined that I’d get known for THAT :rofl:

In the original No Man’s Sky, groups of pirates would patrol systems, and would regularly fly down and attack trading posts. Some people thought it was a bug, but I spent a lot of time documenting the behaviour, and I assure you it wasn’t. Once you knew what you were looking for, it was entirely predictable.

Unfortunately, the mechanic was either removed or disabled with Next, so it doesn’t happen any more. But we know HG wanted to to it, and we know they could. It would take them very little effort to bring it back, perhaps in a modified form - pirate attacks on settlements?

SM has posted again. Nor sure it offers insight


Unless our planet side NPC pirates guess is correct

Can’t be a pirate without a sword.

hmmm, I don’t recall that ever happening. Would be neat. But kinda pointless unless walls can take damage etc. Good purpose for turrets though

I witnessed a few of these attacks as well. Found the pics I took from one attack that I came across while searching for emeril. The pirates ignored me until I fired on them.

cool. I remember them flying around, but I don’t recall them firing on a trading station, but that’s cool if it happened to others.

I honestly love the idea of little events like this happening in world regardless of whether the player triggers them or not. It just makes the whole universe feel a lot more alive and independent than feeling like it revolves around you.

Imagine multi-system wide conflict between factions or pirates and authorities, where you can come back after a few hours and a huge freighter-to-freighter battle is still going on, or just going down to a planet’s surface and seeing pirates fly down and assaulting buildings etc.

A traveller can dream! :sweat_smile:

Space Station Core Override (Speculations):

  • Added the ability to claim entire star systems

Space station overrides can now be purchased or earned, but at great cost or challenge to the user. Claiming a system brings numerous systemwide rewards and benefits. Ability to upgrade system economy and conflict levels. Ability to redesign Space Station interiors and exteriors. Ability to rename and reupload systemwide changes to HG’s servers. Ability to teriform entire planets, (but in a later update). Note: Overrides are nonreusable and nonrefundable. Only a limited number of systems can be claimed per user account, so choose your systems wisely. Visit space station cores to apply these upgrades. Visit the space anomaly to learn more.

Reason: Home Systems and/or Community Hubs

RELEASE DATE: SUMMER 2022 :pray:

Pretty interesting idea honestly, but I feel like the overrides won’t be usable on every station. There’s currently a seperate string for station cores in abandoned systems (which as of yet don’t exist), which kinda makes me think that we’d be able to rebuild systems, override the previous owner settings and make the system habitable again. This would prevent a lot of hubs having their systems claimed by trolls etc, because HG seriously doesn’t want that happening. Major factor in that is a few very egoistic civ leaders biting HG’s ass anytime they’re inconvenienced.

I kinda expected this to come on thursday, to be honest, but with all the jolly roger reposting it might actually go down today…
