the problem is it has elements of what i currently want from a game but also not. i want like.. NMS exploration & ship building (like the freighter customisation), Pulsar: The Lost Colony style combat, gameplay, shipb-oarding and multiplayer, and Starship EVO (or maybe just Starfield) spaceship customisation.

i think Space Engineers is closest to that but also lacks firm objectives and also seems to run like shit ime

Pulsar: Lost Colony mentioned! :yeah:

but honestly i feel pretty much the same. though i kinda thought starship evo was abandonware with how little its changed since i got it, though what i did see looked really cool.

space engineers is by far the one ive spent the most time in, i kind of treated it, and star made as a sort of space minecraft. though space engineers in particular has had some major performance issues, and its fair share of improvements too to be fair. that being said, when i upgraded my system, space engineers managed to take up the full 32gb of ram i had installed from me flying around the earth-moon-mars map. i dont know how it runs these days as i havent touched it in a couple years.

i actually feel the same way about star wars. its a lot more fun to read the wiki, or watch eckhart's ladder or something than it is to actually watch the movies.

Starship EVO is still in active development but it's literally one dude toiling away so it's slow. he seems to really care about the project tho

ah that makes sense, single person devving is a slog.

I think the thing for me is, i had most of my no man’s sky fun during the first few years of updates, and now it’s just hard to justify going through what is mostly the same story and gameplay and similar procedural worlds yet again just to check out a few new features. While i love what hello games has done with it compared to the launch game, i feel like it needs to be rebuilt from the ground up more or less to really hook me in any kind of way like it did in 2016-2018.

Also, i always tend to play NMS right after an update, when the new features are still really buggy. So I’ve had a pretty consistent experience of “there’s lots of progression breaking bugs” since the game launched because I’m always playing with features when they’re brand new. It definitely can dampen the enthusiasm a bit.

i think if ur particularly just wanting to see new stuff they often put it in the expeditions? like they put one out alongside an update
