The following ends with the potential future of this Atlas CSD / ETARC forum…
TL;DR
- Mobile-Friendly Social Website — On NoMansSky.com
- Optional FREE Social Mobile App in Augmented Reality
But first, let’s pick back up where we left off and work our way to the bottom.
Define: Logic
noun : textbook education grounded in strict traditional reasonings
And so there you have it…
- NMS Mobile VR — An open and closed case | Unless they “Defy: Logic”
- NMS Nintendo — Similar questionings of, “How?” - At the cost of what?
No Man’s Sky’s Strongest Point is Procedural
No Man’s Sky’s Weakest Point is Procedural
NMS shines with all its brilliance on a PC, but Hello Games reaches out to consoles, and in doing so reaches a broader audience, but at the cost of a lower quality presentation on these platforms, and the increased technical challenge of having taken on these technical feats.
One has really got to admire the team for what they actually do!
Procedural Generation in many ways feels like Virtual Reality, a future technology that feels either ahead of its time or perhaps it is that NMS just barely exists on the bleeding edge of some Sci-Fi future civilization. Perhaps NMS shouldn’t exist, but it does, and for that we can be thankful.
Now, if only technology can catch up with Hello Games. Imagine what NMS would look like on a PC with double the strength of what we have now. Yes, that’s the computer I want to be playing!
❝An Infinite Universe in an App❞
❝Space? There’s an app for that!❞ ╭𐎸
FAST FACT:
Did you know that Fortnite is available for ‘CROSS-PLATFORM PLAY’?
This has been a thing for a while now, but just wasn’t fully released until March 2019, once PlayStation finally made a decision to participate and integration was complete, and right along with this came the inclusion of a mobile app. What this means is, players can play together across all platforms — PlayStation 4, Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC / MAC and Apple / Android Mobile. 
What if NMS offered cross-platform play?
The Bubble Bee ⦂ It shouldn’t be capable!
We believe it, only because we now see it.
Should we believe only in what we can see, or hope even… in what we cannot see, possible? 
Come to think of it, I’m starting to realize that this reminds me of what I guess has become…
My Own Nativity Story
On June 19, 2017, came the 1st topic I ever created on this forum, and it was to help our Emily with breaking it to people that NMS and Waking Titan were in fact connected. We may recall, that she started encouraging everyone to start learning about NMS, but as soon as the fans showed up and started talking, they just kept being shot down by the ‘strictly ARG’ folks. Seeing the situation, I then joined, started a topic about portals and lead a discussion, which then grew into the everything of NMS.
We were then moved from a NMS Topic into an official ‘No Man’s Sky Category’. And that’s when I started an ongoing series of ‘Screenshots & Multimedia’ topics. Which a year later were dispersed into an official ‘Creative Sub-Category’. And yet prior to that, I had started exploring the concepts of VR and MMOG which furthered into AR, which nearly all doubted and with logical reasonings.… in what they could not see, possible!
However, ‘seeing’ that Hello Games were ‘able to defy’ all of our logical reasonings — As to why NMS VR wasn’t possible on a PC, let alone on an inferior PS4 console — That the Vulcan update portion of BEYOND v2.0 was a major part of their solution, basically a complete overhaul of their graphics engine, as well as a complete overhaul of many other aspects — Seeing their solution in combination with their abilities…
How could NMS Mobile defy all logic? 
And for all logical reasonings, based on the traditional textbook understandings that we all have spread out before us across the vastness of the ‘interwebs’, and based on our prior and present reactions, I do certainly predict nearly all of our replies to be either, “No reply”, “I don’t know” or “It ain’t happening, move on.”
Put Simply ⦂ If they pull it off, with what’s before them, it’d be a miracle! - No?
And yet years ago, nobody believed ❝An Infinite Universe in an App❞ was in anyway possible. Such a concept was a writer’s work of Sci-Fi unto itself, and then HG defied all of our logical reasonings and dropped 18 quintillion unique planets into a shared universe, and without all the traditional loading screens — How? And today, we can now attempt an explanation…
Sean Murray, I’ve come to learn something about you and your team at Hello Games, not to underestimate your abilities to push the boundaries of “what is” with Sci-Fi conceptuals of…
What if…
(and that’s a complement)
BRAINSTORMING
Can we invent an internal or external CPU / GPU / RAM / Video upgrade? 
What options are presently available? Would we be talking hardware or software, or a combo of both? Or is a downgrade the only option before us? Or some new take on procedural? Or, all things considered - Beyond just playing NMS as a mobile game - Should we look outside the concept…
What other uses could a mobile app provide?
And… What if such uses were combined with cross-platform play?
If PC, Xbox and PS could all MMOG / Co-Op play together, the universe would be more alive than ever! — Add Nintendo and Mobile, too? — Oh, if only technology could just catch up. Or if only NMS weren’t procedural, yet we’d have it no other way!
So… Realistically: Could a NMS Mobile App prove to be fun and useful in ways beyond just playing the game. We as players already have social media for social profiles and have access to a suite of useful tools — But there is this one idea that does strike me as intriguing, an absolute in-game immersion…
What if our player-characters had their very own in-game social media system, complete with user profiles that auto-sync and update with chosen in-game stats, details and character mugshots, and present ship/fleet/tool shots and stats, where our character profile and a name we choose for our character could be displayed separate from our player name and social links, complete with ability to follow other users and a newsfeed with ability to post updates and hit like, mimicking that of real-life? ← This would be our equivalent of ‘AR’ (Augmented Reality).
It could be located on nomanssky.com as a subdomain. What would be the most appropriate name?
- Mercury Process — mercury.nomanssky.com
- Galactic Atlas — galacticatlas.nomanssky.com
- {INSERT NAME HERE}
Options for Accessibility: (1) Directly in-game; (2) FREE download on the Apple / Android Stores.
BONUS: When writing a post, we could have a system of preset hashtags to choose from, like for version and media type, similar to what we have here through Discourse (like ‘category > subcategory’) but more intricate than Discourse (Example: #NoMansSky #BEYOND #Screenshots).
Which would also fix our issue of having to write ‘BEYOND’ in front of all new topics. 
And so there you have it…
Consider replacing this Discourse forum by merging and archiving all contents and user-credentials into a mobile-friendly website, a subdomain on nomanssky.com. And perhaps an NMS Mobile App would be best suited as an optional FREE companion for the purpose of enabling in-game social media, accessible cross-platform anywhere, anytime, 24/7 of 365, and with real time notifications — Now, Tie all that in with Hubs & eSports! — And let’s covert that VR to an AR, and then blend it - Behold!
The NMS Mobile AR App 
No Man’s Sky ⦂ ❝An Infinite Universe in V/AR Apps❞
After all…
Waking Titan ARG’s ⦂ ‘WARE’ or ‘V/ARE’ teased ‘VR/AR’ into — Reality!
This is a box 🙼🙼 Should we think inside or outside 🙼🙼 Would HG?
Is the above not grounded in logic? 
Or is the logic not yet grounded?
