If it was like before, you can warp your freighter to your location for free by pressing down when on a planet or in your ship in space.
X, then go to the leftmost option, you'll find the 1st/3rd person toggle there.
Go to the quick menu -> utilities -> change camera (or something like that). It's not super obvious.
Thank you!
Just double dipped on the PC was considering if i should continue with my PS4 file but that no more plutonium is music to my ears.
Damn I missed this game. Feel so guilty getting a refund back during the PS4 launch but glad to be back on board with all the updates. Survival mode is proving to be quite the challenge so far and really adds to the experience. It was far too easy on Normal when first released. Excited to delve deeper and see all the changes.
Hmm fun, got a sidequest from a Gek guy to scan 3 unique creatures, but ones I've already scanned won't count and I'm only missing 2 creatures on this planet (one of which are butterflies which are seemingly impossible to scan and I don't have a gun yet). Greaaaaat
Are the pixilated night skies a problem all across the board or not? Has anyone tried re-installing to see if it fixes it?
Those look great. What platform are you playing on?
First system has been pretty good to me! Well, mostly...

I'm on PC, and... This game is really quite good now, innit? Restarted from scratch and had an excellent time going through the intro, because everything is so much more streamlined now, and the whole thing just looks more like the original vision. Performance is a little so-so (GeForce 970 here), but decent with a bit of tinkering. But the experience feels elevated, and I haven't even touched multiplayer yet.
Does unlocked framerate on the standard PS4 still turn it into a jet engine? I loved the framerate in 1.3, but feared it would shorten the PS4 lifespan so I kept it locked.
Well it's not long been live for PC and many are starting from scratch so I would expect people to be learning the ropes and getting lost in the game rather than staring at the forums or discord waiting to team up.. That or they're staring in disbelief at whats happened to their existing bases. Plus the launch is not without its bugs. :)
If you want squads super quick you may find the main NMS discord has a much bigger pool to search from.
Wow, pretty impressed so far. Found my mother ships. Had to summon them from the pop up menu.
Sad my base is just completely wiped. Wish we had some warning about it. Oh well.
I'd start a new save for friends, but starting with no pocket space is too big of a pill to swallow imo

Just start fresh, the game will lead you through what you need to know.
Sooo... uh, reloaded my save.
1) all my tech has disapeared, I have shit now on my suit
2) my ship looks kind of fucked up. More realistic I guess, but it looks more worn out
3) spawned on the space station, so decided to go to the planet where my base was..... well, planet now is literally water planet, like, I still have yet to find a place to land, it's all friggin water!
I have some sound glitches, and cockpit glass looks fucked up too.

Sounds like a plan. Was hoping to avoid it so I didn't have to make more thruster fuel, but it is what it is.
So the consensus is that it runs badly on Pro? Disappointed, but I can wait for more patches.
yeah I started into a new game for a bit but I think I'd rather keep my 48 slot ship and full exo suit. Hope I'm not missing too much by jumping in without going through the intro tutorials and all.

Pop into the menu, go to options and then general options. Redeem bonus content is in there :)
Down on the d-pad, left to the cog, select the option to change view
I'm not on Xbox, but there's a "claim preorder bonus" button in the Options menu which will probably add it.
There's never been one for PS4 or PC, so probably not.
I'm fairly sure bases are all gone. The startup message said bases had been archived - this means you can get your stuff back if you build a new base BUT you can't get back to your old planet because the transporter terminal isn't there any more. It's gone, mourn it and move on to the stars my friend.
I managed to salvage my old save - the system I was in only had one planet and it was now a toxic hell hole, and I had no fuel to leave the system. A couple of hours in a new save taught me the new mechanics enough to build some warp fuel and get out of the one planet system. I then managed to pick up a freighter (my first) and it's ready to carry on. However I kind of enjoyed starting over, so I'm back to the fresh run. I'm going to miss all my stuff...
it runs fine in 1080p with framerate limiter enabled. some slowdown when you enther the planete atmosphere.
but 4k mode is sub 30 and unlocked is nowhere near 60 fps as before (which is understandable, with all the graphical upgrades).
I guess it does, but it's never been that bad with my PS4 that it got me worried to be honest. :)
I hated : (please read: HATED) the original release (bought on PS4 and sold)
Considering getting this on pc now- chances of liking it? Is it a completely different game or nearly? And most importantly is it good?

What did you hate about the original release? By all accounts, the core loops are still the same, but there is a buttload of content and side-activities available now.
Pretty awful in 4k yeah. Cant hold 30fps and stutters like hell
In 1080p (set in dash) it can often maintain 30 (unlocked fps mode stutters like crazy)
Feels like there is input lag no matter what mode and it just stutters all over the place when flying
So can you actually run into random players in the universe as you're exploring with this update? Haven't played since launch.
Well, the core loops are similar, but not exactly the same. They are a lot more involved now, with you refining materials to use for crafting and stuff. You're not just dumping a bunch of plutonium into everything anymore.
It's a better and more polished version of the game you hated so I wouldn't recommend it.
Wow! It's actually worthwhile to dig in the ground now. You can find relics in underground tunnels, and technology salvage which can be sold for a ton of money or used to make blueprints.
I was taking screenshots last night of my base and planet. It was a paradise planet with really aggressive sentinels. When I booted up the save file post update, not only is my base gone but so are all the systems I had discovered. I was really looking forward to seeing what my old home planet looked like after the update. But oh well. I started a new game instead.

I mean it's obviously still No Man's Sky but if you haven't played since launch then the game will be unrecognisable outside of the basics. Just look at the OT. That core loop is there (though now you have base building as a part of that) but that feeds into numerous other systems and means of progression. If you hated the original then maybe it's just that the game isn't for you. I and many others feel it's great, especially with NEXT and the other three major updates. Around 20% of the player-base have 100+ hours in it so I wouldn't be quick to label it bad if you don't personally vibe with it.
So in short I'd check out what's been added since launch by checking the OT, and look and the photo thread and then decide if you think it's something you'd like.
Anyone else on PC got the bug where when you exit and then try and restart the game through Steam, nothing happens? It just stays on ''preparing to launch'' and i have to cancel that and try again a couple seconds later. I think the same bug was present at launch as well if i remember correctly.

All good, didn't recognise you with the different avatar! Glad to see you here.
Thank you! One thing im wondering is if I use my old save, how can I trigger some of the new missions? I hear at some point you get given a freighter and I don't wanna miss out on something like that.
