Well you say 6 base max, and here I was thinking it was 6 ships max.

Guess it's just a max of 6 visible in your freighter bays? No idea but that's what I thought.

I've also been jumping around in my area of space looking for Interceptors, and tonight I saw there's a "glyph exchange" where I could have just scrolled until a found a ship I liked, then portaled to that location, instead of looking for dissonant stuff.

I'll probably just keep looking for my own, as long as whatever I find doesn't look COMPLETELY retarded

I spent the better part of a week hunting interceptors, and made a literal fuckton of money (which is mostly worthless at this point). I found almost my perfect ship, but not really the color I liked. I had already been to that glyph exchange and grabbed a couple before realizing what style ship I really wanted. So instead of wasting even more time I just scrolled until I found what I wanted. It doesn't have the 4 connected supercharged slots that everyone loves, but eh, it isn't like you can't beat everything without it.

EDIT: Then I moved onto living ships, and the first one is just random luck. After that, I targeted my White SheDevil on the exchange, because screw wasting all that quicksilver trying to find a ship you like.

So far I just haven't found one I really like. This one isn't bad, but that's it

Eventually, after seeing a bajillion different variations, I decided I needed one with tank treads, which makes it even rarer. And you gotta have a ton of thrusters, amirite?! I'll see if I can't relocate the threads from Reddit for the two I ended up keeping.

I decided to log in after not playing for a bit just to mess around. Right off the rip I appreciate the change in soundtrack, I love synthwave but, this really hits my dopamine receptors just right.

On another note, I have an enormous surplus of raw resources and various other items including void eggs/organic ship eggs. It is more than I need and I can always replenish my supply. If anyone wants/needs anything shoot me a PM and I'll send you my NMS friend code.

Inventory pics below, sorry for the slight lack of organization.

Edit: The only thing I really care about are the plant samples in spoiler 3, idk for some reason I can't let them go.

I want to love this game. I enjoy it in small bursts. But I just can't get past the atrocious menu and inventory UI. I guess it has to do with being on consoles also? As a PC player, there's no excuse for such a clunky UI. Is there a mod that reworks the inventory and menu UI into something bearable?

I have yet to find one that makes a worthwhile difference, best I could find are faster menu mods

4 square supercharged isn't actually the best. It's either a Z pattern or possible some other configuration like 2 stacked on top in the top row and then 2 stacked in a row lower 2 spaces over.

But yeah, once you start doing like 70-100k DPS it doesn't matter, you can take down sentinel and pirate capital ships in very little time.

Cloud save and Cross-saving has been added to the game today. A much wanted feature for me since I can now play the same save with Steam and PS5.

These devs are really incredible. Constant updates across like 20 platforms (all PS4 and 5 / PSVR variants, etc). That can't be easy. PSVR2 has some specialized stuff to make it run twice as well as PSVR (foveated rendering + eye tracking). All these free updates are impressive. I hope they get some buyers from the Playstation VR part of the store, because it's still 59.99 there.

I have a disc copy from back in the day, so no PS5 Pro for me or I lose access :p

I just did the Mass Effect expedition, which apparently is a re-issue of Expedition #2. Enjoyed it for what it was, and love the frigate, but my question is, how the fuck are they allowed to have the ship from another company's product in their game? I'd be shocked if Hello Games was influential enough 6-7 years ago when this first came out (much less now) that Bioware/Microsoft/whomever owned them at the time made an agreement with them. I'm not an expert on Mass Effect, but that looks pretty damn close to their ship, so that's got to be copyright infringement if they chose to make an issue of it, right? Like, even if you didn't call something a Millennium Falcon, you'd still be nuts to make anything even remotely close, much less actually call out Star Wars in the promo for the event. Does anyone have the scoop?

Apparently, it is legit

Yeah, they have friends at EA / Bioware and are big ME fans, and it just kinda came together while Bioware was working on the Legendary edition in 2021.

The fact that they're backporting tech for Light No Fire into NMS, and vice-versa, shows they've got their shit together.
