Do you think it might be a tribute to Lionel?
such as

"Possibly the most versatile performer was Lionel Blair, and no one will ever forget the occasion he was given A Town Like Alice when he chose to do a silent impression of the author. Such was the performance Una Stubbs gasped in amazement when she saw 'Neville Shute' in Lionel's face."

I'm thinking of posting this as a possible solution on the thread - See you in 3 months time :)

500MB/sec -> 2+GB/sec wasn't being sarcastic. You most certainly will notice a huge difference in anything that is IO bound. read or write.

I concur...as have anecdotal evidence. Mid year I swapped out a standard SSD for an NVMe. This was the drive used to store the ED game files. Huge difference in loading times before and after. And I didn't even buy a fast NVMe, just run of the mill.

EDIT: also, doing a game file check on EDO (50 GB) via the launcher is about 10 times faster than it was on the SSD.

Perhaps the secret message is "American bacon isn't real bacon." That'd be a cause worthy of intergalactic terrorism, to strike fear into Ender...

Bring on the Bacon War!! The most bloodiest war in all of human history..... I'd return for that CG. plus it'll give fdev time to continue procrastinating thargoid content.

I bought NMS, and keep updating it, but just can't get into it, no idea why, it just feels wrong somehow. I like the bizarre colour schemes, very 70's sci-fi book cover / Prog rock album cover. I will give it a another try, and see how I get on, but it just feels a bit arcady / mobile phone game

The textures in the first pic for the ground are shocking, and as for the alien, if that is what we can expect from FDEV, then please, don't bother!

It is pretty much what you describe, a moving '70's sci-fi book cover' with a flight model... (cough)... a sort of flight model... (splutter)... well... it has space ships.

I like it for what it is, but it's surely not like the other space games with their fidels. I've not played the last update, which is also true of ED. No conclusions to be drawn. They've both been out for a while now.

"Neville Shute in Lionel's face?" Sounds a bit kinky.
