And I happen to love the fact that a whole chunk disappears into little bits that then come flying at you. Graphically it looks very cool. Theyve made it look gorgeous which is ideal since we'll be doing it a whole lot.

I feel like we're confusing "planet" and "system."
There probably isn't a space station orbiting every planet in the game. I wouldn't be surprised if there was only one space station per star system, but I think it's reasonable to assume systems can have multiple space stations, along with multiple planets that have surface trading stations.
Maybe different stations are controlled by different factions, and they might serve as targets of conflict between factions.

Probably wont be in the initial version, but i hope eventually they will have bounty hunter quests. We have seen brief snippets of quests like destroy 3 ships e.t.c
I hope eventually there will be some such as go to x system and try and find a fugitive. An enemy that will leave clues on a planet and you have to hunt him and eventually fight him.
Just a pipedream for now and i definitely dont expect it in the initial game but i hope it can be added in later versions.

Do I need to have PS Plus to play No Man's Sky?
Since it needs to be always connected to send exploration details (who discovered what and named things etc.) and in theory because I may (billions to one chance) meet another player?
I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but is there anything documented officially about needing plus to play?

Actually, I'm pretty sure the answer is no IIRC
You can play offline.

I think I would've preferred if chunks just vaporized with some kind of energy effect, without the bits of rubble flying at you. They just kind of disappear in front of your multitool, like a temporary dev effect they decided to keep. If they're going to do that the rubble should get pulled into the beam and vaporized. Oh well, the rocks look nice at least.
Yeah my guess is there can be more than one space station per star system, but who knows, we haven't seen any evidence either way.
I was just thinking, I don't think Sean has even shown flying from one planet to another. I think we've only seen a planet and its moon.
Trailer 2 showed taking off from Oria V, flying through an asteroid field, encountering a space dogfighting scenario, and then chasing enemy ships down to Soleth Prime.

Now, that might have been in a dev build specifically to show that off, but so far, all we've seen are dev builds. We have not seen actual retail gold version gameplay yet, unless the Japan demo is that.
Hmm I justice noticed something, in the video the player was essentially with a squad helping him fight and following him. I wonder if you can have a crew or recruit NPC ships or something. Or if that's just one of the factions temporarily helping out.
Or if that's just the player following the ships and tagging along lol
If you increase your standing with an NPC faction enough, you can summon "wingmen" to fight with you.

Is there any indication that Soleth Prime is a planet and not a moon though?

You can play online without PS+ already confirmed in the other thread.

The fact that you fly past an asteroid belt and a space station in order to get there, and it's named like a planet.
Seems like a planet to me.

Hmm, yeah you could be right about the asteroid belt. I knew they purposefully brought planets closer together so they look like a book cover from the ground, but didn't realize they were THAT close to each other. I think I have to side with Sean on that debate... I'd rather fly for five minutes to the next one, seeing the planet slowly getting larger. Having huge planets in the sky is not a big deal to me, especially when moons could serve the same purpose. Oh well, at least there will be a few systems out there with planets you have to fly a long time to reach.

Does anyone know if there's like, underwater planets I guess? Just planets basically submerged in water?
Also, weather?
Also, weather?
Water worlds are confirmed, hurricanes are confirmed, rain is confirmed, snow is confirmed, even tornadoes are confirmed.
Really curious to see how tornadoes work.
I think we'll get a look in the survive trailer. Harsh elements I think would be part of surviving.
Not sure how robust their engine is, but I wonder if there will be waves. Like ocean waves.

I haven't seen any proper ocean waves in any of the NMS footage, but who knows, they might have added them before release. Has any game actually modeled waves crashing on shore?
That picture is just "stoopid casul" given form. Someone asking about goals is reasonable given the trailers and marketing around the game are pretty cagey about that.
Guys, we gotta stop setting ourselves up for disappointment with this game.
There is so much talk of what may be/could be included. I think we have seen 95% of the offerings in the trailers in terms of geographical locals and characteristics. Yes, they are proceduraly generated so we will see various combinations which will drastically change the landscape but overall we wont see anything really "new"
Dont forget they want to sell this game. Keeping everything secret wont generate hype in the long run. They need to sell to the general public who isnt following the game, its technology or the excitement that we all have for it. These trailers we have seen over the years is exposing the game for what it is. There will be some cool sights but dont expect anything drastic.

so what if the center of the universe is a bunch of players who made that destination, i asked this before but wont it be the one consistent place that never changes?
It's actually a black hole. Our entire universe is an elaborate mouse trap. Get rekt, humanity!
The Oracle has spoken.
Do we know how many players can meet at once? I thought I read once that only two can meet at a time, but maybe I'm remembering that wrong.
Edit: I think I found the quote
Maybe he's leading us on, or it has changed since then, but I wouldn't get too excited about a big meet up at the center of the galaxy.

If you happen to run across another player(s), your personal lobby can only accommodate a couple other players.
*edit*
You found it
Well, remember too that everything we've seen is curated. It's probably pretty unlikely that you'll find planets within 2 minutes of each other, they probably made them close so you could see a seamless take off, space traversal, and entry on a different planet with no loading. Remember, at that point people were still actively denying that it was possible and that they were hiding seams somewhere.

Yeah I am assuming the closer we get to the center of the universe the more we will see other players, it's the one place with a gigantic landmark

Good point. That system was probably tweaked just for that trailer in order for it to appear seamless.
Do we know if there are comets in the game?

That would be outstanding. A olanet-sized rock or dead planet in a solar system w a dead sun. I hope that shit is in it!

Rogue planets have been confirmed. Dont remember the source, but I remember celebrating the agit out of it when I found out.
No it's not. There is a ton of info about the game. Asking "what to do you do" is just a form of trolling.
