Blast from The Past.
Although not strictly a Frontiers Era series of screenshots, the following are a selection of very recent pics taken while loading up vanilla No Mans Sky via disk onto a new PS5 & playing for a couple of hours before updating.
Many players never saw this version as certain things changed in the day-one patch & in the updates that followed many more changes to EVERYTHING have made this version utterly obsolete.
I had a lot of fun reminiscing my first taste of No mans Sky.
This is the original Rasamama S36 starter ship before it became 2 toned red & white.
Back then the broken ship was right next to you but materials were very hard to locate & none of the vital elements for survival glowed. The most valuable fuel was Thamium9 ; This was needed for both your life support & your pulse drive. Although it was pretty much everywhere in space (asteroids), planet-side though, it was found only in the red plants which back then didn’t glow or even show up in the visor.
I did enjoy the clear-view visor which was much faster than todays version & was full colour, without all the extra info & blue overlay.
The original dangerous flora (snappy) that gave carbon.
Knowledge stones were taller in the early days & seen in this pic, the little green plant to the right was a health restorative.
Most valuable minerals were found in large deposits or sometimes in the form of crystals which could be scanned as a mineral. They were not always the colour you expected to be, such as the Heridium pictured below.
It was good to once again see an original ‘First Gen’ Space Station in operational condition as these can only be found in abandoned systems these days.
One thing I’d completely forgotten existed was the original Hard Save cryostasis tube thingy found on the early space stations.
And finally, probably the last time I’ll ever see the original cockpit & warp design. For whatever reason the game crashed as I left the beginning system & after this I allowed the PS5 to update to current specs & transferred my saves over from the PS4.
