But now have VR and mounts, nice.

Let Me be clear, i really love this game but tell us about this update is GREAT UPDATE? no its not.
This game have a giant potential, a lot of mods prove is.
And Hello Games can make randomly generated races, in randomly generated planets, with randomly generated cities. after all you make a randomly generated UNIVERSE.

Simple example:

Come Sean, you can surprise everyone. Just take a little look in mods community and see whats played more use for NMS.

Make you own cities?

I will add that, some 350 hours in, I have seen almost every variety of fauna, flora and biome the game is capable of generating. All variations are either larger, smaller, have bits where the other variety doesn't, has some element turned around, a different color, or is textured differently. At this point I can almost smell the base models the game uses to process its RNG generation. But I still play it, so go figure.

I'd rather have more diversity in space.

As it stands now, 99% of the real estate in the game is just empty void conservatively sprinkled with asteroids. Lets see some shipwrecks, structures, starbases on giant asteroids, etc. Make space interesting enough that you don't treat it like a loading screen from planet to planet.

Also how bout some pirate bases? They have to make berth somewhere, and it'd make for interesting missions. Hell, make pirates another faction if you want.

Someone seems a little stuck on the word "similar".
There are literally only 11 biome types in the game, if you've seen one of them, you've seen all of that type. Conversely, there are up to 20 biomes just on Earth depending on how you define them...

Anyway, with only 11 biomes and 18quintillion planets, it is literally possible to find a planet that is exactly the same as one you've already seen, possible, but still unlikely. Because this is computer generated, it is possible that all the numbers will align to make a duplicate planet quite often. Computers can't actually do random no matter how hard we try.

I applaud the devs for the work they do, but diversity in world types, conditions, and biomes would be appreciated. New races are needed too, just 4 in the universe? lol They don't all need a story element, we just want better diversity, maybe some races that aren't so religious?...

Well, if you ever see two planets that are literally the exact same down the same position of Geography, er, whatever it's called in this game, down to the nanometer, let me know, because that will be about as likely as you writing out Graham's number in this thread. :P
Before the sun dies.

5 billion years seems like a lot, but you won't have even started on Graham's number. :P

Well, of course people is not talking about things being exactly the same. But if you see a green bear, a purple bear, a blue bear with red eyes, its still just a bear.

Also, there's a lot more than 11 biomes unless you want to provide a list of every single biome and then explain why there are only 11
