Very true. Just jumping and exploring planets without concern of fuel or warp cells is pretty nice in Creative.Shame.
You're wrong in saying that only the crafting/base building remains in Creative though.
You can just explore - without having to worry about shooting rocks for fuel etc. Exploration is the true joy of the game for me.

Exploration feels pointless to me though, as everywhere you go there are always settlements, sentinels, crashed ships, etc. It feels like there's nothing new to find as everywhere is populated.
Here's another tip for some quicker credits.
If you find, like I did in my case, a snow planet with extreme storms, there will be storm crystals. Build a exocraft spawner, and drive around picking up there crystals during the storms. They're worth about 120k each.
I made about 10 mil this afternoon just by harvesting rocks.

Now that the MP side is a little beefier, I'm surprised I haven't heard space federations mentioned (clans). It seems that NMS might sit well for those that like that type of gameplay. You know get a good system with friends and call it your own. Players come in peaceful get to look around but can't build. Players that come in not so peacefully get to do a little pvp.
I'm not really into that type of gameplay, but it was talked about a while back, but held back through the MP not being very good. But now..
Any thoughts on it. ?

Or just back up your save file when you do something significant. Amazing feature. If you drag a shortcut to the folder somewhere it doesn’t hurt promise.
Doesn't work due to the very low player count and no-damage toggle.
Lol, how forgiving of major bugs you suddenly are.
I’ve given elite more than one shoulda effort of working around issues I don’t like.
I’m so many cases elite doesn’t even offer that olive branch. To have a mechanic to work around an issue is something to be grateful for coming from elite, or do you just not play anymore?
Also the only bug I’ve seen so far is the ship scanner doesn’t work, or only in very limited scenarios.
I couldn’t get past the hipster every time
I tried in the past.

Ah yes, they scrambled to release 11 hotfixes in a few days because there really aren't many problems, and if you lose a year of progress you should just have made backups.
Nothing to see here, move along.

You're saying that like its a bad thing.
Yeah, why not. Seems like players are creating groups on their own, so why not have some support in the game for it.

NMS is more than just a 10 min survival filler game for me now. What I really like is that something new pops up on a regular basis, even after 20 hours of campaign play. Unexpected little surprises like this...
Also did my first multiplayer missions last night at the Nexus, an Aussie - US collab destroying harmful flora and pirates. Fun.
So ED is my more hard core sim-like, NMS is pure sci-fi whimsy, and never should the two be compared.

They've surely improved the quality of the storms and extreme planets. I found a desert planet where sand storms basically made it almost impossible to see where to land. Now I'm on a frozen planet with extreme snow storms, and driving the Colossus in the storm gives me flashback driving the Mako in Mass Effect. I might build a larger base here.
That is a great thing about NMS, the planets that so many think are all the same, are very much 'not the same'. Of course you have to visit more than a few to understand that, but as seen there in your pic, these extreme planets are different and indeed the best type.They've surely improved the quality of the storms and extreme planets.

Great pic.
How can you get more than one ship.
Whenever i find a wreck i always have to dump the old ship - i though we could collect multiples.

The option is different now. Its add to your collection. The one you arrived in doesnt go away.
From looking this up myself just a moment ago, you cant sell ships at all, but you can trade them, and have a limit of 6 at a time. Im assuming when full the ship you arrive to collect the wreck in is lost as previous.
I've now tried this game I believe half a dozen times. I mean new games. When it first came out I was quite happy with what it was - a simple indie game - but critical of the lies in the leadup to release.
Now I keep returning to it, to see if the substantial (admittedly) changes they keep adding make the game ... fun?
No. Not for me. I mean I had an original save from the original release where I probably had 20hours in, I've a few saves over the years at various depths into the game, and my latest one I've a base in a quite lovely location that I wanted to expand on. But I stopped because I'm just not tuned to minecrafty games, just not my thing, I cant eek fun out of it. It's definitely me, not the game, in that sense.
I have a lenovo VR headset, and it works fine. Hate using VR controllers, so that's that. And to completely kill me interest in getting back into it even on flat mode, now I have to &%@ing join all my base items together with &%@ing wire and a power supply that runs for a few minutes??
Okay.
EDit - back to my new playthrough of the remastered Bioshock2. Much more fun.
Of course it's pointless - it's a computer game.
Complete waste of time.Question is, whether you enjoy your time being wasted in that way - personally, just the sheer thrill of landing on an unknown planet, stepping out of my ship, and looking around at what I can see (scanning everything) is something that gets into my soul - and wish it was there in E: D.
There are lots of new things to find. Columbus didn't "discover" America - it was always there, and was always filled with people.
I feel like its exactly the same as elites, with a translation so that the ground based content is the space game from elite. It even has an fss, implemented correctly!
Everyone plays elite for different reasons and different things, but if you can identify at all with the journey of exploration, then planet based content is a pretty fierce showing for what it is.
Every unit of distance you travel on a planet is the same as every planet you fly to in elite on aggregate.
As an aside, last night on PS4 whilst in the Nexus, I had to turn multiplayer OFF. Was at the appearance modifier (thinking that if I'm going to be seen by other players, I may as well look good ) and another player basically came and stood right in front of me. Not their fault - they were just using it as I was - but I could see nothing.
Nexus is a lot quieter (and speedier) without people.
