Next Expedition

[ohiorice]

Any rumors or thoughts on what's coming down the pike for NMS?

Plenty of rumors and thoughts, none of which are based on information from the publisher.

Hello games very rarely announces updates or expeditions before they are ready for launch.

[Mr. Bufferlow]

The only hope we have is the Steam Spring sale is coming March 13th. They typically try to combine some kind of update with the game going on sale. A retread expedition might be in order.

That said, they are still stamping out some non-fatal, but persistent bugs after Worlds P2 so they may not have had time to do that kind of work.

[Hykril Tynyx]

Probably more updated reruns of the older ones.

Well okay then... so there's a small hope of something coming along with the sale. Fair enough... but I'm wondering for the next new expedition... surely before summer, yeah?

There are (I think) three weeks left in the current expedition. The next one will not start before the current one ends. A content update before the expedition ends us unlikely.

Astronomical speaker, summer starts on the summer solstice which is June 20th. An update and expedition before then is likely.

group A: am so happy that this expedition gives us so much time. normally i have to stress or dont find the time at all, before its over.

group B: i cant wait for this long expedition to end, when the hell do we get new stuff

guys, how do you play through and look into all the changes, just from this year??

Group C not another expedition! Stop doing that and make the stuff I want.

Edit "C", not "B"

[raving_madness]

ahaha ok
Group C: omg pls not another update
:D

what are you wishing for? just curious.
(i dont get to play "half of the game" because i enjoy the other half too much. ahhhhhhhh. fishing and cooking, epxloring planets, expeditions. no cool freighter, not much of story done, but i can live with that :D)

Myself... I play expeditions starting from scratch, a new game. Once I complete it, I then go to my long-term game (800+ hrs), pull in anything I can from the completed expedition then go play, have fun with any new items.

I was leisurely asking for the future because if you just ponder a bit about what it possible, this game could go on for another 20 years. I don't like to speculate that far out, so I thought maybe someone had heard/read something about what's next.

But yup, we all breakout into just about those three groups. :-)

Glad i'm in Group D.

Keep Dumping the toys, no schedules or playdates, just playing till the streetlights come on.

Love the Game for that, it's like playing with GI Joes & Transformers again, they were what they were & it was up to you to make something of it that entertained & once in awhile your parents show up with an addon Tank or Jet & Birthdays & Christmas you got the Big accessories, Fortresses & Hovercrafts.

So Expeditions are like that for me, & that's how i've been treating the Game.....after my initial binge of some 700+ hours since October.

But before Major Updates & whatnot the Devs drop little hints at whats coming apparently, so keep checking here & there, folks are looking & hungry for new toys to throw in the Sandbox, just mind the Cat Turds.

The next expedition will be a galaxy spanning fashion show! They will add a transmog system allowing players to reskin parts of their suits according to various planetary biomes and astronomical peculiarities.

Glowing acid greens of a toxic world, smoldering lava of an inferno world, etc. Hats that looks like the rings of a gas giant or black holes. We will go from planet to planet in search of secret underground fashion runways. We will discover that the sentinels persecute fashion as much as everything else in the game, and that if we wear our transmogs it will cause sentinels to attack us regardless of their normal settings. Once players reach the hidden secret runways, they will walk up and down the runway in their chosen fashion, and perform various moves such as twists and turns, and the striking of poses in order to generate a high score. The rarer the fashion worn, the higher the score.

I stopped playing after the expedition....nothing really much to do

i feel the same. more than once i cought myself thinking "i wonder how this game looks in 10.. 20.. years". it managed to be so much more than just a game imo.

[ohiorice]

It's quite the fun fest to just speculate on what it could be..... I will say it is one, if not the only game I can keep coming back to again and again and still have fun with it. .

I would love for them to allow us to own, control and rebuild a derelict star-base. Use one of the rewards from a Pirate mission ( can't remember what it is called, not passport but yeah ) to claim the base and either keep it as the race who originally built it or create your own section of space. Would be very cool :)
