Honestly even if you didn't lose everything, starting fresh is the way to go after all these changes and updates. It's a pretty different experience with different quest lines and significantly different QoL mechanics. I started fresh and enjoyed my new save considerably more than my previous one (especially since you can play with friends).

Upgraded from a 1070 to a 1080 so I updated a few mods and had a quick playthrough with Vulkan. A few mods aren't working now and can't use ReShade with Vulkan so it's a bit blurry and dull looking but it's running a lot smoother. Texture pop-in and grass draw distance still suck.
Sorry to bump the thread, I just wanted to highlight a quote from the recent article from Gamesindustry.
"Murray will be sharing more about Hello Games and No Man's Sky as the opening keynote of Develop:Brighton 2019. He will be discussing the story behind its original development and the transformative updates, as well as hinting at the future of both the game and studio."
I love hearing Sean talk about NMS, hopefully he will talk about the events leading up to the launch as well as how the flood actually affected the studio. I am not sure it is the right venue to announce a release date, but perhaps he will say something about Beyond.

His keynote name says something like "NMS: To Infinity and BEYOND" So theres hope hahahaha
It seems its a smaller event that you can buy tickets to, so I think probably not. But would love to hear the talk as well.
Hopefully the interview will be posted on here afterwards: https://www.developconference.com/why-attend/video-gallery
I was kind of hoping they would be more communicative towards their community and talk more directly to us rather than dropping information this way.

Someone at the NMS reddit seems to have found one of the largest creatures yet without mods. Might be a glitch or something because the in-game reading says it shouldnt be that big but it is.

That is fucking amazing holy shit

These are the kinds of things I look forward to seeing in VR.
Reminds me a little of this fella I ran into when looking around for a "home base" planet last year:
Reaching the Galactic Hub via warp is intense. I'm nowhere close to 2000+ish LY jump needed.
I need S-Class Explorer with six S-Class warp upgrades (three in starship, three in tech).
Going to be a while...or I could call a Huber but enjoying the adventure of getting there.

Can I still decline the first free freighter that's scripted to appear in the hope that a capital freighter will spawn for free (with the rescue mission) down the road or did this get patched out?
Just jumped to my third system and all my available jumps are yielding crappy c/b 18 slotters.
I have a save prior to that jump but don't really want to progress out of the system before knowing if it's been patched.
Basically, do free freighters continue to spawn if the first one is declined?

Well I was going to wait to pick this up again until the update but I'm now all in.
Just discovered that you can indeed decline the first free freighter and still be offered a free one on subsequent rescue missions (I had been told this was patched out.)
I'm happy I chanced it because my scripted free freighter was a low slot C class.
About ten hours later I jump into a battle and am gifted an A class 32-slot Star Destroyer capital ship in black and red. Not a perfect freighter but it's definitely the best one I've ever had by far.
Here's hoping the BEYOND update doesn't mess everything up because I'm kind of all in on this now.

Hahaha seriously. After 2 years I'm still kicking rocks with 12 slot
I just purchased the game for VR. It's the first time I've truly been interested in the game. 2 of my friends bought it as well (one with VR), so the online aspect of the update has multiplied my excitement. Played a few hours and I'm really digging it. If VR implementation is as good as people are saying it is, it could be one of the best VR titles to date! Sorry for the unexciting post, but I wanted to say I'm here to share the hype for Beyond.
Do you guys think VR version will be mod-able? I would imagine it will work sort of like Skyrim VR.

Haha not my intention!
I meant that more as a kind of PSA that you can safely decline the first freighter without messing up your chances of shopping around for a better freebie.
I read a lot of conflicting info with some users claiming this was patched out so I took a big chance by potentially turning down a free freighter. Glad I did though as it paid off.
Edit - I see a lot of people saying capital ships won't spawn unless you play for three hours unpaused, complete a certain number of jumps and/or some other even more bizarre criteria.
All I can say is I just played the game and happened across a capital ship on my sixth jump (definitely didn't play unpaused for three hours). This was both my first sighting of a capital ship as well as a freighter rescue mission.
CobraTV is streaming. Someone he knows will be at the event, live tweeting.

It should start in about 40 minutes.

per reddit, Beyond has just received Australian classification: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyT...h/no_mans_sky_beyond_has_recieved_australian/
I don't think it'll release soon as they think though, the game is on sale on all stores just for another day or so. It would be bad timing. Maybe next month, following another sale?

Fair, though I always felt that was more a launch for their debut on Xbox.
Still have my doubts though that we'll get anything this month.
I just begrudgingly came back to ResetEra to find that theres still an active No Man's Sky thread.
I'm so proud of you

I never stopped playing it, at this point after all the updates it's rapidly climbing my best game of all time list.

I just went through a black hole and found an extreme planet with toxic storms with clusters of storm chrystals everywhere, I instantly started building a base with a teleporter and has been flying about harvesting the planet and traveling to sell, I haven't optimized the sell method yet but I can make 10+ millions easily just by selling what I can carry in the exosuit. Feels nice! This game never stops giving.
Finally reached The Galactic Hub. Going to take a break until Beyond.
What a journey. I got really lucky with S-Class Explorer, spawned after one reload.

I don't know if anyone here follows CobraTV but the Convergence just started.
Interesting article from Forbes, apparently the plan was to effectively wrap up development on NMS once Next released, but it performed better than they expected, so we got Beyond. So, thanks PC and Xbox players! I'm thankful you got my VR support, haha.
I hope they keep polishing it with patches after Beyond and maybe 1-2 big paid updates a year. The game has so much untapped potential still.
I can see Beyond being their last big patch and either moving on to a sequel for next gen, or a new IP all together.
I would much rather they made a NMS2 for next generation personally. I imagine a lot of the potential of the game is held back by PS4.
Speaking of that, there was a Reddit rumor a few days ago saying that the developers had trouble with the base PS4 version, the VR was not running well apparently. Zero evidence was provided but given that the game has all of its content in place and is fully playable (how else could it get an Australian rating?), it seems reasonable.

What do you mean, forced 3rd person warping and inability to walk up hill?
Pretty sure I have first person warping, but I have enabled first person perspective for the ship.
Same. All perspectives are optional, so I'm not sure what's going on with their experience. I think it's set to 3rd person by default with the latest patch, but you can mix and match however you want between first and third freely.
Still no clue about not being able to walk up hill...I walk up hill in the game all the time.
The warp loading screen is in third person persective no matter what. And after Next dropped, some barely steeper than usual hills became unclimbable (because the character would look goofy if you were in third person view, I assume) so you are forced to use the jetpack to walk up a 30cm rock that's in the way (This isn't something that you would notice if you started playing with Next, but as someone who put in some 200hrs since day1, on-foot traversal got worse).
But I mostly care about the old embark/disembrak animations, really.
For the VR mode, I expect to see a lot of changes to animations and more importantly, more stable framerates. If not, VR will be a puke simulator.
A nice retrospective from Gameinformer:
I can't wait for Beyond... any new clues about what will be the undisclosed 3rd big update?

No clues at all. Radio silence, which is both frustrating, but understandable. The only reason we learned about anything like VR so early was because it was leaked and they had no choice.
