No matter how boring the planet you are on may seem, the procedural generation sometimes makes for some incredible sights. 
I decided to give NMS another shot, this time on normal, because the grind in survival is really painful - and as it seems, my survival game save files are corrupted, with hundreds of hours playtime on them … 
My homeworld is a pretty much dead desert planet, ravaged by hot storms during the day and freezing nights, a really hostile planet. Littered by mountains and gorges and vast stretches of nothingness.
I’ve been driving with my roamer for hours, trying to get exosuit upgrades and more inventory space, as well as improving my standing with the Gek by visiting their Monoliths scattered around.
As bland as this may sound, sometimes you come across absolutely stunning scenes and views, like these two scenes:

And as it seems, the longer I drive around, the more stunning scenes I come across.
