Cover art indicates it's a larger update (small updates have game screenshots not the hand drawn covers). Interested to see what it contains.

That's interesting. I have no problem with NMS on my laptop with nVidia 1070 and my Samsung Odyssey+ hi-rez WMR headset.
Can I ask what settings you’re running with? I’ve got the textures and clouds cranked up but pretty much everything else is at the Standard level.
I really want the tessellation back, which is why I want one of the new cards (and for more SS in Elite, naturally
).
gawd I'm so behind on playing NMS, having even tried the Exos or Desolation yet......no time!!!
Same. And I play with mods, and can't live without some of them (i.e. the game is much more enjoyable with them), which always take days to be updated (if at all) with any major release. By the time I get to the point where I have a "playable" game, I'm distracted by something else or work overloads me. And the cycle starts again next week!
It will be a few days before I can get back to you on this. Won't be near my VR setup until then.Can I ask what settings you’re running with? I’ve got the textures and clouds cranked up but pretty much everything else is at the Standard level.

Same here, I've not played since the exo-mech suits or even the organic spaceships. Currently spending too much time on Cities:Skylines!

That's a hell of an update from Hello Games, it's going to drag me back in for sure
Same here....
This kind of game was never my cup of tea, however it's just plain incredible how these guys have completely turned the tide around. From absolute fiery disaster to greatness. Every single update seems to add immense value to what's already there.
The "core game play" is much the same as Elite's - i.e. start out with almost nothing, build yourself up a bit, make some money, then go exploring. It's a big galaxy. Bigger than E: D's.
Of course you can ignore all that and just start building your dream base on a planet with seas just the right shade of pink, but that's up to you.
It's open world, so the game play is up to you. They just provide the framework.

Yeah, but it's minecraft and terrible space flight, which means (to me) it gets really boring fast.
Whereas in Elite, even if I'm bored I enjoy the simple and (can't believe I'm saying this) 'immersive' process of taking off, leaving, flying, landing.
Most of the time I'm not really doing either of those things. I generally spend the most time wandering around planets, scanning things, trying to track down as many creatures and plants as I can. Some are hard to come by, and the fun part (for me) is seeking them out. Then there's trading, exploring wrecks, jetpacking between mountains, doing the "plot" questlines, upgrading my ship, exosuit, fleet carrier, exocraft, etc.
It's not really a space game... it's more of a planetary exploration thing with trillions of planets. You can treat as a space game of course, and if you do... aye, you'd probably find it disappointing because it's not a sim like E: D. But it's deliberately not trying to be.
I think if you go into it remembering always that it's a fantasy game & not a realistic space sim, you might have a better time of it.
No, it's not a simulation. It's not like E: D at all in that regard.
But these things have little to no effect on actual gameplay. And there are definite similarities there - albeit NMS just has much much more of it.
For instance, even though the galaxy is "static", you can have an actual lasting effect on it. If you make a cave on a planet, that cave will persist & be visible for everyone.
You can't impact the galaxy in any way whatsoever in E: D. It's all smoke and mirrors.
Well, yeah - it's none of those things. So if that's what you want, play those.
Let us know when you get bored of staring at empty space that you can't affect, or run out of scripted plots to wade through.
NMS is its own thing, and has far more variety & gameplay than any of them IMO. As long as you don't kid yourself on that it's anything other than pulp 50s sci/fantasy.
