Im pretty sure this is going to be an amazing update.
The first update “base building” but it gave so many extra things like freighters, better graphics, better biomes, farming, etc…
The 2nd update “vehicles” gave us classes, better graphics, more tech, shared bases, etc…
Now the 3th isn’t going to give use one thing but 2 things that are promised (story and portals). The other fact is that they used 1,5x the time they Normally use to make one patch. You can imagine that this patch will be amazing!!

@Nomad That pic though 
looks like your tits are excited too.
Things I hope to see in this update:
Revelations about the unexplained components of the ARG.
Always happy to have more story.
Ship creation, but if not, customization at least.
Base building limits increased.
Improved diversity in landscape generation.
I honestly don’t even know… I’ll be happy with whatever is in there. Can’t wait!!

Dunno bro I’m ready to rizzole yo
Interesting 
Maybe I should plug mine just to look around.
The 18 quintillion figure absolutely includes all 256 galaxies. You can just tell that with basic maths.
Euclid (and I assume all other ones) is ~200,000ly in radius. Assuming it’s a sphere (I think it’s more of a slightly oblate spheroid, but that doesn’t really matter) that would give an average figure of dozens of star systems per cubic ly. Which is obviously not the case. Now if you divide that by 256, that’s more like it.
The implication is that if the portal codes are indeed 16 symbols-long, using 16 different symbols, then this will allow us to travel to any point of any galaxy.

that would be sweet. I am down to about 70 jumps to get to the center in any galaxy.
Would really like the ability to customise your ship the way you want - colours / skins . Would also like to see a bit more ‘mission’ content with the NPC’s and of course Portals…
but what ever comes, i know i’m going to be like a fat kid in a cake shop.

I hope this is the way this feature is implemented. I’m also hoping that maybe their will be some “secret” coords, but we’ll see. I might suggest being cautious with this new feature though, after all “we do not yet grasp the price of the final truth”.

That would make sense… Even if they are just hipothetical currency. R.P.O. style…
Go for it ! I dont play with keyboard & mouse anymore for sure.
I’m interested in the potential of portals. On the one hand, we already have portals in a way (every space station gives you the ability to teleport to your home base, and you can have up to 4 locations to teleport to from your base) so this diminishes the significance of Portals slightly. People are saying, it would be great to be able to teleport directly to the HUB, but many of us already can do that if we have visited the HUB already. Just teleport back from the HUB and leave that location in your in-base teleporter.
I hope that at least the ability to use a portal requires some investment, and also understanding of your destination, otherwise it could diminish the significance of space travel and exploration if players can just fly to a local portal and dial up anywhere they want to go.
Overall though, I’m super excited for this updated and whatever it brings. The prospect of bringing more players together is a valuable one I think.

I wonder if our ships will traverse these portals with us or if we’ll need to reach our ultimate destinations across the ground.

Basically portals never worked before. thanks Hello Games for letting players trying to find a way to use them whilst not even working. countless of hours wasted by the community because you refused to tell or admit to us that portals did in fact NOT work.
severely dissapointed. also the fact they are nothing more then quick transports etc.
I enjoyed the ARG but this last announcement just leaves me feeling jaded.
