Multi-crew ships, I know doing interiors is likely impossible, but just a new class of bigger ship that has a passenger seat that can independently use a scanner/turret.
This for me.
Use settlement tech and make each station have a lower deck that's procgenned with traders, pilots, quest NPCs etc
Move the Tainted Metal merchant down there because he's so out of place. Really those guys should be in Pirate stations.
More varied planets. More varied gravity levels (maybe some high-gravity planets that impact your life support usage, jetpack, and amount of fuel needed to take off), multiple biomes per planet (e.g. forests & plains in one part, desert in another, maybe some tundra near the poles, etc.), rivers, better & deeper lakes & oceans, and maybe a city every now and then--like a planetary archive site but bigger.
Oh and maybe some multitool mods allowing us to earn the big bucks scanning rocks like how we can with flora & fauna.
I’d love to see better interaction with existing (and hopefully new) alien races. Townspeople should have multi tools to help fight back against the invading sentinels. You should be able to do bounty missions where you have to track pirates and ne’er-do-wells on foot and they shoot back. Running across random huts or groups of aliens in the wild would be new and fresh, especially if the groups have some kind of differentiator like this group keeps cattle, that group mines this particular resource, the other group is bounty hunters looking to track down a scofflaw, so on and so forth.
- Controversial, but add ships physics of Elite Dangerous or a more realistic combat system for those who want it
- more ship customisation
- being able to summon ships in galactic stations
- an inventory of your ships to easily compare them
- gravity
- high and low tide system
- fix the underwater bases please no more fishes inside
- underwater combats
- possibility to populate your bases
- wars or being able to invade, manage a galactic empire or a criminal guild spreading terror
- characters and mini-scenarios, written events
- better game optimisation
- weather that varies depending where you are in a planet, how can it be sunny everywhere in a planet ?
And it would be great if they (like the living ship) used different resources instead of freigher fuel -- or if the frigate brought back unusual materials (like an occasional void egg, a pile of dihydrogen, or weird organic stuff like creature eggs).
Living ships could use an update as well. Like all they really need is a couple new weapons (or just a their own version of old weapons) the ability to add inventory slots and maby its own version of a economy scanner.
To go with the living ship theme since we have exotic Multi-Tool, a Living Arm Cannon, has similar traits to Samus Aran's Mode changing mechanic. Just like the living ship expands when being used.
So much variety of colours as the Living ship. Since I know they like reusing assets, utilize the thrusters as the blaster part. Neutron Cannon would be so sweet charging up that tool, giving that Metroid Prime feeling!
I'm aware they are but those feel more Vy'keen theme tools to me, doesn't hurt to have another tool themed to Living ships since exotics have one now :)
More than anything I'd love for the big flying birds etc to officially become part of the games companions instead of needing to use mods to get them or to get an egg from someone who has, and if you could call them and have them have them land so that you can jump on or interact with them that would be epic.
Being able to build a zoo on your freighter and keep all your favorite (or some other captured) creatures there, maybe along with a personal Egg synthesizer to be able to mix/match various creature traits.
I would like to be able to place the Mud Hut without placing the base computer and claiming land.
Just want a temporary survival shelter where I can place a couple refiners and whatnot and get on with exploring the surrounding area, then take the shelter with me when I leave the planet.
Should be able to drop a beacon that lets you build a camp within say 50u radius but doesn't register as a base.
You can interact with the beacon to pack it all up and claim your resources back, otherwise it's not permanent and just disappears when you leave the planet/system.
The ability to reset missions, for whatever reason, if you have not done them properly, you forgot something or there is just a bug. I have not played for awhile, but have been seeing all the updates on YouTube and Twitter. When I stopped playing I was rage quitting over the Expanding the Base, Overseer bug. I posted in this about a year ago, asking for help, and didn’t get a response
Has this been solved yet?
The ability to reset missions has been in the game for years. Just travel far enough away from any system that the mission is in and you will get a prompt to reset it on the log screen.
Better UI. Navigating the menus and having to button mash through the same alien dialogue over and over to trade or make an offer on their ship is something that needs to be streamlined.
Additional storylines for different galaxies. Give people incentive to hop to different galaxies.
More achievements/achievements apply to each galaxy
Different biomes on planets
Menu to view each ship w/o having to summon and switch.
Living Ship refresh.
Pet Sentinels?
I would looooooooove if they would ad more interactable stuff like for example. I can sit on a couch and on a chair, why can't I lie on the bed?
Also, what I would ad to EVERY game that has base building mechanics:
Dragon Quest Builders 2 has a really great system of putting stuff together to get something official out of it.
For example, you place down a table and a chair, so you can sit at the table, but when I ad a plate and silverware it suddenly gets declared as eating table and people will start bringing food to that table, sit down and eat if they are hungry.
When I put down a toilett and a towel into a closed room it becomes a basic bathroom and its possible to use the bathroom etc.
And in the end. It would be really really cool to be able to change sizes of every build item. Not only specifics.
Tough choice
Big one everyone else would agree with is a new class of flyable ships that have a proper interiors, not something as extreme as a freighter, but just kinda getting bored of having just a fighter seat all the time.
The other is just straight up fishing. Or at the very least having the ability to make aquariums and capture-release aquatic life into other areas so we can make aquariums.
Ship interiors. I would spend hours looking through any windows while fauna walks by and storms rage outside.
And of course... Getting up from the pilot seat and not being thrown out there.
Better orbital mechanics. Instead of the suns revolving around the planet, the planets revolving around the suns. Also have moons revolve around the plants.
All. Snappable. Parts. And better building sets for bases. Incline corridors to give you and outside stairwell access to different levels of round/square habitat building.
I want to be able to pirate the frigates that other players send on missions. You could scan the system to see if there are any potential targets and then see if it’s worth trying to attack them. It would add a cool dynamic that is similar to pvp without actually being attacked by other players.
A flight model that doesn't make my head hurt. I'm not expecting a full Newtonian simulation or anything, but why do I have to deal with airspeed stalls and drag in space?
I dunno, the NMS flight model drives me nuts on a regular basis. Thankfully, there's really little to no need to actually fly much other than quickly getting from point A to point B. But I generally avoid space combat because it's such a colossal pain in the ass (that and it's so mind-numbingly easy).
Having not played since the beginning, and just finishing the new timed event.
The stations all have a couple of varied outer looks but are so static inside. If HG doesn't want layouts randomly generated, I can get that. Makes it easy to get what you need quick and back out there.
The color, maybe even textures, of station walls though? Being chosen from a few set options seems a good compromise. With the outside of the stations changing with a few tweaks it would add a lot of illusion of variance without a ton of work.
In an ideal world each species would have several station designs specifically for their systems, and slightly subtle shifts in furniture types. Keep the clean split layout universal, but changeup the background fluff to make them feel occupied by that particular group.
We've already seen pirate stations flipping the normal layout of one but still being usable. I hope thats a good sign of things to come.
I would love an a actual evil faction in the game instead of just pirates. They are just criminals. An actual organized invasive antagonist would be great and they too get attacked by sentinels.
Ships that can hold up to 4 people. Exocrafts that can hold multiple players. They already look like they can.
Two things.
First, in theory it should not be difficult to add some form of procedurally generated alien race tied to different regions of space. Most of the mechanics are already in place including (but not limited to) trade opportunities for locally produced/found goods, the procedural generation process, settlements, clearly defined and mapped regions in each galaxy etc etc. They don’t necessarily have to be technologically advanced, but they don’t have to be barely evolved proto-Gek either.
Second thing: I run a LOT of derelict freighters. I do enjoy the variance of the interior layout but it does get a bit methodical. I would absolutely love if we occasionally found, let’s say, a derelict capital class, non-static random spawn, with different/varied enemies, multiple floors, dozens of rooms, save points and actual locations where you harvested up to maybe three different modules. They’re always S class and you always get a cargo bulkhead for each module you harvest, but if you WANT the hyperdrive module you have to go to the engine room and if you WANT the fleet combat unit you have to find the command center.
I suppose for that matter if we are redoing derelict freighters I might as well put in an ask to redo our own freighters; I get the need to have a consistent layout but I wish it was more interesting with some crew quarters and maybe, I don’t know, the option for windows that don’t require some really creative building.
While I'd love for some kind of... event or mission or something that's super difficult and engaging on my day1 save that I can't just buy my way through, I have no idea how I'd implement that.
S-T-O-R-Y ..... give me a reason to continue to explore this incredible universe.
(and to those about to advise, yes I have finished the main plot, done tons of expeditions, built plenty of bases, gone to the center of the galaxy even gone to the edge of the galaxy)
\+1 imho this is the most important one thing that Hellogames could add.
An epic mission and journey which takes you beyond the centre of whatever galaxy you are currently in.
Give us something meaty to go after, for us many long term players. Its taken me nearly 6 years to get close to the centre of the first galaxy, I would love if the game gave me another hook to go much farther and strive to achieve.
Anyone remember the original Elite missions?, the final one took real life years to get to for those of us dedicated enough. I think No Man's Sky community have proven we are dedicated enough to warrant such a long term mission, instead of the effort going into just another expedition. Take time out from those, catch up on bug fixing the game sorely needs, and add in a long term mission.
Sentinel freighter update ! Make them worth fighting ! And even able to board them ? Better aiming mechanics , the laser and some starship weapons can’t lock on properly and always miss .
But definitely sentinel starship updates . More technology in settlements. Anti pirate defense turrets for your settlement ? That would be so good . Maybe make the hired pilots actually do something instead of just like 1 damage at S class .( maybe even allow them to be shot down ) . Better galaxy names , keep the references going . Make something worth continuing on with the galaxy list ! ? Maybe even an actual list !!!! Teleport location favorites ! ( so you don’t have to scroll pages and pages for one base ) . And lastly , maybe add more features to the starships weapons . More weapons in general .
We have bases, colonies, frighters. Next step could be your own space station (maybe solar system/economy). Make a poor system rich. Can be some thing similar like the colonies. You can make a pirate station, or a normal one. Even in regions without a space staton, or clean up a broken one. The next step woul be your own galactic empire.
There's so many things I would add.
Bigger ships like the size of the Millenium Falcon or Shuttle Tydirium that can have multiplayer or multi-NPC crews. I would love a replica of the NASA shuttle with the Canadarm and crew on board.
Orbital Bases. I know there's already a way... but I want a way built into the game. They could make special ships to construct them. Like a NASA shuttle with a robot arm :)
Bigger space stations. It annoys me when ships entering/exiting are going through the ceiling or their wings are half stuck into the wall or upper walking area.
Space battles, like Freighter vs Freighter. When the Sentinels are at 5-stars in space and they're calling in the big Dreadnaught, I should be able to call in my Capital Ship and fleet of combat and support frigates. Then huge space battle ensues.
The ability to own more than one Freighter. Sometimes when a fleet of NPCs warp in there's 3-4 Freighters in the fleet.
More storage. 10 vaults ain't enough. Make the vaults bigger or give us more vaults or both :)
Water overhaul. This game is gorgeous, but the water isn't the best up close. More wave variety instead of the always calm waters. Deeper oceans. Rivers, Lakes, waterfalls, etc.
A landing gear/ship upgrade that lets you land on water.
* Multiple freighters. Upgradeable freighter weaponry. Ability to manage a larger fleet for space combat
* More in-depth systems, and Larger stations
* Larger ships, and possibility to carry one exo-craft in ship (like elite I guess)
* Scrap or sell old multitools
* On the edge about this - realistic systems. This might not give good screenshot opportunities though
* Ability to own a station, and automate things, like in the X universe.
* I guess the best of all the other space sims rolled up into this. Okay maybe not all, it's a lot of effort, but some elements would be lovely to have
* Pilotable normandy I guess
More in-depth gravity system, there should be more than 2 different gravity levels.
Just put it on a scale maybe? Have a minimum and maximum and just set all planets to be some place in the middle?
Multi-crew ships, I know doing interiors is likely impossible, but just a new class of bigger ship that has a passenger seat that can independently use a scanner/turret.
Two side-mounted turrets, two wing-mounted turrets, co-pilot's seat, and a troop transport bay. White and dark red with lime green accents. LAAT
Station diversity. Seeing the same interior for every station was immersion breaking early on.
For that matter, diversity in buried ruins and crashed freighter layout. I've always wondered why these are not procedurally generated.
This for me. Use settlement tech and make each station have a lower deck that's procgenned with traders, pilots, quest NPCs etc Move the Tainted Metal merchant down there because he's so out of place. Really those guys should be in Pirate stations.
More varied planets. More varied gravity levels (maybe some high-gravity planets that impact your life support usage, jetpack, and amount of fuel needed to take off), multiple biomes per planet (e.g. forests & plains in one part, desert in another, maybe some tundra near the poles, etc.), rivers, better & deeper lakes & oceans, and maybe a city every now and then--like a planetary archive site but bigger. Oh and maybe some multitool mods allowing us to earn the big bucks scanning rocks like how we can with flora & fauna.
Multiple biomes by planet would be awesome !
More planets Terraforming dead planets Own space station Sentry turrets in settlements/bases More ship variants and parts
Sentry turrets ❤️
I’d love to see better interaction with existing (and hopefully new) alien races. Townspeople should have multi tools to help fight back against the invading sentinels. You should be able to do bounty missions where you have to track pirates and ne’er-do-wells on foot and they shoot back.

I especially like that last idea, would breed even more life into each planet
The ability to legitimately build orbital/space bases
- Controversial, but add ships physics of Elite Dangerous or a more realistic combat system for those who want it - more ship customisation - being able to summon ships in galactic stations - an inventory of your ships to easily compare them - gravity - high and low tide system - fix the underwater bases please no more fishes inside - underwater combats - possibility to populate your bases - wars or being able to invade, manage a galactic empire or a criminal guild spreading terror - characters and mini-scenarios, written events - better game optimisation - weather that varies depending where you are in a planet, how can it be sunny everywhere in a planet ?
Better mulitplayer missions and end game content. Like you could have instances setup for pirate raids and such...
I second this
Living freighter and the ability to gain more organic frigates. I just want a whole damn army of Living space shit.
And it would be great if they (like the living ship) used different resources instead of freigher fuel -- or if the frigate brought back unusual materials (like an occasional void egg, a pile of dihydrogen, or weird organic stuff like creature eggs).
Living ships could use an update as well. Like all they really need is a couple new weapons (or just a their own version of old weapons) the ability to add inventory slots and maby its own version of a economy scanner.

alien multitools already exist?
I'm aware they are but those feel more Vy'keen theme tools to me, doesn't hurt to have another tool themed to Living ships since exotics have one now :)
Fishing and contests for fishing. Like a highest point winner takes the credits.
More than anything I'd love for the big flying birds etc to officially become part of the games companions instead of needing to use mods to get them or to get an egg from someone who has, and if you could call them and have them have them land so that you can jump on or interact with them that would be epic.
Being able to build a zoo on your freighter and keep all your favorite (or some other captured) creatures there, maybe along with a personal Egg synthesizer to be able to mix/match various creature traits.
Make expeditions playable anytime.
Another race
Wind power generators. Could generate more power the higher the wind speed.
I would like to be able to place the Mud Hut without placing the base computer and claiming land. Just want a temporary survival shelter where I can place a couple refiners and whatnot and get on with exploring the surrounding area, then take the shelter with me when I leave the planet.
What a good suggestion. This could be first task in tutorial. Place survival shelter.

Not for the expanding the base mission. I have tried everything and I can’t get rid of this bug. It is driving me nuts
An end to the tutorial is what I want more than anything.
Biomes, to make planets worth exploring.
Better UI. Navigating the menus and having to button mash through the same alien dialogue over and over to trade or make an offer on their ship is something that needs to be streamlined.
Additional storylines for different galaxies. Give people incentive to hop to different galaxies. More achievements/achievements apply to each galaxy Different biomes on planets Menu to view each ship w/o having to summon and switch. Living Ship refresh. Pet Sentinels?
And add two more digits to the portal address for traveling to other galaxies.

Better orbital mechanics. Instead of the suns revolving around the planet, the planets revolving around the suns. Also have moons revolve around the plants.
Rivers, more dense and varied biomes. Larger planetary weapons
Snap placement of things inside buildings, couches, lights, and the like.
Gas Giants where you can build floating habits like the Jetsons
Bounty hunting players
All. Snappable. Parts. And better building sets for bases. Incline corridors to give you and outside stairwell access to different levels of round/square habitat building.
I you read some dialogue from the vy’keen it mentions multi swords I would love to see what hello game would do with those
I saw this dialog from a traveller in a pirate system. I thought it was really cool and wanted one lol
I had the same reaction
I want to be able to pirate the frigates that other players send on missions. You could scan the system to see if there are any potential targets and then see if it’s worth trying to attack them. It would add a cool dynamic that is similar to pvp without actually being attacked by other players.
A flight model that doesn't make my head hurt. I'm not expecting a full Newtonian simulation or anything, but why do I have to deal with airspeed stalls and drag in space?
Yeah admittedly Elite Dangerous does flying a lot better although I don’t think NMS is bad either
I dunno, the NMS flight model drives me nuts on a regular basis. Thankfully, there's really little to no need to actually fly much other than quickly getting from point A to point B. But I generally avoid space combat because it's such a colossal pain in the ass (that and it's so mind-numbingly easy).
With this game being brought to the Switch, I would love to see a cross save feature.
The minotaur just transforming into the other exocrafts.

Ships that can hold up to 4 people. Exocrafts that can hold multiple players. They already look like they can.
More things to do on planets
Pretty much seems like we all want more of what we have accross the board We want additional stuff to wjat is already in place. And deep oceans 😉
Two things. First, in theory it should not be difficult to add some form of procedurally generated alien race tied to different regions of space.

Cross save. I can't play on my PC DAMNIT!
Better content for those of us who've been playing for a while and are starting to get bored. The expeditions are fun but my main saves need some TLC.
While I'd love for some kind of... event or mission or something that's super difficult and engaging on my day1 save that I can't just buy my way through, I have no idea how I'd implement that.
Truly shared bases.
more alien races, maybe a ancient invading race? This game can implement so much in the Future, hope the devs stay tuned.
To feed on your idea, how about the ability to seed a suitable planet with those anomalies that are civilization pods?
that Sounds nice, what about some Engineering stuff we've seen in prometheus. More ALIENS would be awesome too...
S-T-O-R-Y ..... give me a reason to continue to explore this incredible universe. (and to those about to advise, yes I have finished the main plot, done tons of expeditions, built plenty of bases, gone to the center of the galaxy even gone to the edge of the galaxy)

Rocket boots that work.
