A spaceship in No Man’s Sky’s new ship editor

Is there a developer more fiendishly dedicated to giving fans endless returns on their initial investment thanNo Man’s Skystudio Hello Games? It’s not a competition, mind, but they’d surely be a strong contender if it were. Despite dropping theOmega updatejust last month, and unveiling fantasysurvival gameLight No Fireatlast year’s Geoffies, the team are back once more with theOrbitalupdate. It looks to be a sizeable one too, with ship customisation and a “complete space station overhaul” among the new features. You can read the full patch noteshere. I hope it includes a note about how much sleep they’re all getting, because I’m starting to worry.

The space station tweaks include new shops, activities, and different overall themes based on species and locale. Improvements to the engine allow for “vast interior spaces,” and a visual glow-up. Meanwhile, the new ship editor looks to be a nifty and approachable solution for crafting and painting your own sleek or ridiculous vessels. This doesn’t end at the editor either, as you’ll also be able to scavenge wrecks found on planets for parts, then use them in your designs. You can see more in the trailer below:
