TIL Hello Games wants to break up couples on Valentine's Day...
Every time I play this game I end up doing random stuff all over the place and making no progress an any quests or anything of the sort.
I have been trying to fully finish the Autopage quests for quite some time now and always get distracted with checking all my mining bases, my settlement, then having to process stuff, etc.
according to this article it changes so expeditions don’t have to start over if my reading comprehension didn’t decide to leave
Is there actually boarding party combat or do we just do the "blow them up from the outside" thing and then waltz onto the bridge and claim it like normal? Cause that would be boring as hell.
I want to fight my way to the bridge using the four different types of guns I have but virtually never need. Fight pirates, not sentinels.
I'd be shocked if it wasn't the latter. NMS doesn't have NPC combat (outside of ship-to-ship fights) and adding that now would be a massive update. This is just creating a mechanic that would make defeating pirate freighters more rewarding.
Not creating the assets and AI for friendly/enemy NPC aliens from the big 3 was a colossal error. It could have created the foundation of everything from hiring gun hands at your outposts to fighting for control of pirate stations. Why did we never get an update for abandoned stations like we did for derelict freighters?
It seems like HG just doesn't see the value in creating things that are multi-use case. Every update is just one more completely separate gameplay loop that doesn't involve any of the others. So much could be added to different aspects of the game if they had just one or two more core systems that they used to influence their path going forward.
I hope LNF is better at creating a world where all aspects of their gameplay loops are integrated and emergent gameplay can occur.
From the videos I have seen from the experimental, no boarding party.
