Really torn between making a new save to experience everything fresh in VR and continuing my complete save with S class ships, frigate etc.
It's been a while so I can't remember, but can you have multiple saves?

Oh. this is a good point. While I never had any problems with my save files (outside the obvious and intended "obsolete tech" thing), I would absolutely want to back-up my 300+h launch day save. Does simply copying the save files to a USB stick work for PS4 games? As in, I can copy them back when whenever and they are usable without formatting shenannigans?
No Man's Sky is already a game that completely destroys my time. Every time I play it the time flys and I end up goind to bed 2 or 3 hours later than I had planned.
Now with VR I will have a hard time coming back to reality. This thing is going to obliterate my social life.

Yup multiple save slots.
I'd say wait for patch notes, if there has been enough changes to the core progression it could be worth experiencing it all over again, especially with how 2.0 is supposed to make the whole game including all updates a much more cohesive experience.
Thank you!
No, I am aware of that. But let's say I only have a save file on my PS4. It can get corrupted and then overwritten by the game's autosave feature. That's what I want to avoid given the amount of hours I put into my launch day normal game. Hence, I want to back it up in case a fix comes/I want to revert to an earlier version.
All this talk about zero g has me hoping HG will take some inspiration from Outer Wilds as that handles zero g propulsion and navigation relatively well though there is a bit of a learning curve involved. I had a few 2001 type experiences just drifting in space aimlessly until I ran out of O2 xD
As others mentioned you need some gameplay incentive for this, like derelict ships you need to go outside your ship to manually activate an airlock to get inside of.
So excited for Wednesday, hurry up and get here!

Yes.
No Man's Sky: Beyond |OT| 2019: A Space Odyssey
Still taking suggestions and pondering it.
No Man's Sky |OT| Hello Worlds
You know, Hello Games, its a simulation, hello worlds is plural because of many planets. This was the best I got
If I remember correctly, for previous updates, patch notes were released the day before. So we could see them tomorrow.
That is a great one.
Lol, thanks, I also thought about this (since the game now has VR)
I started for the first time last night. I like Survival games and so I started in that mode.
I don't know if they force you to start on a hot/toxic planet, but I did.
I died like 5 times before I got to the ship lol.
I had to sit in the ship to recharge my environmental protection thing, make small runs and then run back to the ship to recharge. Found a small amount of whatever it is that recharges the suit, tried to make it to the signal thing, random firestorm, died.
Spawn back at ship and everythings broken again :\
Fixed everything, got some more protection stuff, tried again, made it, finished the tutorial stuff.
Even tho parts were super frustrating, it felt really good to escape that hell planet lol.
On the next planet, I had to follow a signal to some thing, get a blueprint, etc. Then while looking for copper I found a crashed A class ship :D
I repaired the engine, but the other parts all needed things I didn't have yet. I kept it anyway, I think I'll slowly fix it up as I figure stuff out.
The experience of finding a crashed ship and repairing its systems with very little resources in toxic atmosphere was really cool :D
Can't wait to play again.

"Hello worlds" was already the marketing slogan for the Index.
Even Valve agrees with me that's an awesome name for an OT
The first planet on normal or Survival/Perma is rougher then normal, A little in the case of normal mode, a lot in the case of survival. You really have to work for the safe takeoff in Survival, and even as it continues as you think about where to land so as not to waste fuel, (as a small hint look for landing beacons as they cost nothing to take off again). You'll also find very few places on survival let you fully relax, but its fun in its own way :D
[edit] Quotes went all over there :P
Derelict freighters is one thing I've wanted to see them add. It'd be dope if you could randomly encounter a System Shock 2 or Event Horizon-type situation out there. And I don't see why they can't do it if they already have derelict space stations. Freighters could be similar, just smaller. Have each one be a sort of mini randomly-generated dungeon where you have to activate a power source or retrieve something. Just spitballing here.
Or maybe there could be smaller minor space stations, or large asteroids you can land on.
I think the lack of rotation and orbit was more of a design decision than anything else, since Elite already has that on current-gen systems. I remember during early playtesting Murray said some people got confused because they'd spend a while on a planet, and then not be able to find the space station upon leaving because the planet had rotated while they were on it. A problem like that could just be solved by pinning a waypoint on the space station (which, again, is exactly what you would do in Elite). At this point though I wouldn't be surprised if orbits and rotation would simply be too fundamental a change to the current game. Orbits and rotation might also be a reason Elite is online-only -- they have to keep everyone in sync so the positions of planets remain the same for everyone.
Multi-biome planets to me still feels like something they could change in the current NMS though. This will be the third time I believe they've re-rolled all the planets and completely changed their environments. The design reason given for one-biome planets is that players originally wouldn't spend a whole lot of time on each individual planet. Now they are spending lots of time on each planet.
Overall though, I suspect a reason the current NMS is the way it is, is because its procedural generation may have certain similarities to Minecraft that prevent individual planets from having multiple biomes or realistically sized atmospheres. That's just my speculation though. I don't actually know the differences between how NMS does it, how Star Citizen is doing it, how Elite does it, and how Space Engine does it.
I imagine propulsion and inertia are probably the big hurdles. There's no basis right now for how anything other than a ship would operate in zero-g. I guess controls would be similar to swimming.
or..
No Man's Sky |OT| Beyond W/Are
Ties in with the ARG headsets :D
"Beyond Reality" is cool though, I like it.
...are they, or is that just what you prefer? Because in Hangouts there are tons of serious ones.
