That changes with today\u2019s update, which uses game engine upgrades to \u201ccreate vast interior spaces and exterior spaces, with improved reflection and metallic surfaces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The stations\u2019 broader scale will be evident from the outside, while their interiors will include new shops, gameplay and things to do. Hello Games describes them as being \u201cuniquely customized\u201d based on their virtual inhabitants\u2019 system, race and locale.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"caas-figure\">\n<div class=\"caas-figure-with-pb\" style=\"max-height: 540px\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"caas-img-container caas-img-loader\" style=\"padding-bottom:56%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"caas-img caas-lazy has-preview\" alt=\"Interior of new procedurally generated space stations in the game No Man's Sky.

Hello Games says it previously withheld ship customization to maintain the title\u2019s focus on exploration. (If players could build any ship they wanted at any time, it could ruin some of the fun of scouting out existing ones to buy in-game.) In that spirit, you\u2019ll still need to collect, trade and salvage the parts to build yours how you like it.<\/p>\n<p>The game\u2019s upgraded Guild system, also in today\u2019s update, makes factions a bigger part of the experience. You can find new Guild envoys on space stations, where you can join the club, get supplies and precious commodities and donate to boost your status in the group.<\/p>\n<p>Fleets are getting better, too. With today\u2019s update, you can send your frigate fleet on away missions\u00a0\u2014 and if they run into trouble, you can swoop in and save the day. It sounds like a fun nuance to help scratch anyone\u2019s space fantasy itch.<\/p>\n<p><em>No Man\u2019s Sky<\/em> owners can install the Orbital update \u2014 also\u00a0including engine improvements, a UI refresh and \u201cmuch more\u201d \u2014\u00a0today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/eight-years-after-launch-no-mans-sky-gets-computer-generated-space-stations-that-are-different-each-time-140030734.html?src=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] No Man\u2019s Sky is still getting major updates.
