THIS How Capital Ships SHOULD Be Done! No Man’s Sky Endurance Update 

Best thing about these capitol ships is I don't have to pay a fee every month to own one. If I decide to play 2 months later all is the same.

I think it's safe to say that no man's sky has officially gone from the zero that it was at launch, to something of a hero

Hello Games is unstoppable. The game might not be to everyone's taste, but you can't deny its quality.

Ok, this is to the point in which No Man's Sky has legitimately exceeded Elite Dangerous in something quality-wise. The interiors are just better. They're customizable, upgradable, and don't require constant grind to keep up. It's just better.

I wish this is how Elite handled capital ships. No rent, no worrying about fuel costs (aside from crafting special fuels), etc. It makes so much sense to have the freighter supported by local economies; in the lore, the crew trades on their own and maintains the ship, it makes no sense for one person to grind for money and support the ship on their own aside from supplying fuel.

No man's sky capital ships require no maintenance upkeep costs, have customizable interiors, and just keep getting better.

It really blows my mind that NMS is 6 years old and never asked once for dlc, or post launch funds. They really committed to making the base game the absolute best it could be, and it seems to have paid off. NMS is genuinely one of (if not the best) sci fi games of all time.

I like how after all this time they're still listening to the community. So many requested features eventually made it into the game. Lots of things from my personal wishlist even made it in like mechs, which is something I didn't think they'd likely do when I first started playing. This is one of the only game companies that constantly adds requested features to this day

I have over 1,000 hours in NMS from Steam's info on the game. I am just amazed how this game gets better and better each year and I cannot find a game to replace NMS for my valuable game time.

I want to remind people again that this game is made by 26 people and it's much better and more interesting then all those big space franchises.

I love how Sean has mentioned he is no where near finished with this game.

NMS is slowly becoming my go to Space game now. ED was my favorite but we're lucky if we get 2 decdnt updates a year. NMS usually has 1 massive size update, 2 shmediums, and 1 or 2 small tweeks. Let alone the expeditions. They just need to redo how the systems are generated (not the planets but how the star system "map" is placed) and this'll be my favorite space game by a long shot

I Wish Elite Dangerous has the same Update Policy. I love No Mans Sky.

The last six years have flown by. And No Man's Sky is partly to thank. I have so much nostalgia for 2016 and the updates that came shortly after. Something in my gut knew this game would be a real winning underdog story someday.

Imagine being able to fly your freighter and hire or recruit pilots that live in your freighter as fighters and you can have battles and even invade other enemy freighters while fighting off their fighters.

for me it's a welcome update and removed a friction from the freighters, a lot of things you've mentioned plus now you can directly teleport to your frigates when they damaged rather than flying seems insignificant on face value but in reality is a huge QOL and as a day one player that one thing among many that I can really appreciate about this update

Have always been an ED player and following the launch of NMS I stuck with ED as NMS sounded really messy. But over the years I've seen NMS gather itself into what looks like a really nicely polished game. Thanks for the vid Ant, you've convinced me to take the plunge. NMS currently downloading into my Steam library :)

4:50 I really like the idea of this expedition. Starships for local system only and Freighter for interstellar. Kind of like the nerf to the vehicles to make the Mech that much more powerful. However there is little use for the vehicles now. I like the idea of specialization but not if it just takes all usefulness from the old tools. Another example was when all Starships could be upgraded to have the same cargo hold size. I think they somewhat fixed in the outlaws update? But it made haulers kinda pointless. I like seeing the tools balanced to make them all more suited for different jobs.

Thanks for the coverage Ant. It's videos like these that make me wonder why some people think No Man's Sky either 'doesn't look good' or is 'too cartoony.' This style is pure sci-fi and you can tell by the way Hello Games designed every new bit of these freighters. There are classic tropes built-in everywhere.

I was so sad when this was just a PlayStation exclusive. Overjoyed when it was announced for Xbox. It’s one of my favourite ever games. The sheer size and scope is mind boggling. And jumping into my ship and flying through the clouds into space has never gotten old. Its the space game I always wanted. I’ve 100% all the achievements. Permadeath was nail biting stuff. Anyway. I love NMS and recommend it to everyone.

No Man's Sky has become the most uninstalled re-installed game I've ever played.

I can't believe that I was thinking the same ship while you were talking about capital ships in Sci-Fi. Battlestar Galactica!

No man's sky is one of those games I never uninstall, there is always a new update on the horizon with a bunch of new things to do. My favourite space game.

Every update I applaud HG for their commitment to the game and it's community. I haven't played for sometime. My PC can't do it justice anymore and so when the new pc arrives at some point, it will be one of the first games I install again

I enjoyed this video, thank you. People who have not spent time with No Man’s Sky should know that all of these updates and expansions are free to anyone owning the game, even if they bought it back in 2016. And there have never been any microtransactions. The developer is responsive to comments and suggestions and the community of players is unusually positive and creative. I think this update’s name, Endurance, refers to the way this update makes exploring long distances in your freighter more interesting so you want to keep going, endure. Hello Games has always worked toward encouraging exploration and creation and avoiding boredom and frustration. A perceived weakness in the game has been running out of things to do in late game play, when you have maximum money, elaborate bases and farms, best upgraded ships etc. The Expeditions address this, and so does this update. I look forward to seeing what other incentives and temptations the developers come up with to keep long time players enjoying the journey and entice new players.

I wish life was more rare in nms, finding life would be so rewarding then

Truly outstanding report on this expansion! I have played "No Man's Sky" since it was first released back in 2016, and to be honest, I fell in love with the wonder of exploration for what was available at that time. I've been a fan since day one, and it just gets better and better with each and every update. Thank you for all you do, ObsidianAnt! RIBBIT!!!

I would like an external landing spot on the freighter just like on the frigates.

NMS forever dropping jaws. Great stuff

Nms keep getting better while elite keeps heading in reverse

I think I could watch hours of you just talking about capital ships of various movies and games.

Haven't played NMS in quite some time. Recently returned to ED and am now considering returning to NMS just to check out the new freighter features. Really hope ED takes notice and does something similar (wishful thinking).

I cant wait to update my freighter with this update! (Still hasn't launched on xbox for whatever reason) Truly a remarkable come back story for HG and NMS

The Lexx is my favourite capital ship very memorable.

Props to NMS for doing everything right

Thanks for also covering NMS glad to see your video.

I love my freighter fleet. I already used it as my mobile home throughout the galaxy as I wander, searching for a home solar system to conquer and dominate with an iron fist. But with the new Endurance update, I'm probably just going to remain space-bound and conquer a solar system from the comfort of my ship. Hello Games tapped into the gold mine of game development. They are the prime example of what it looks like when a game dev company stays committed to their work.

When I think about NMS vs ED developments, I simply remember the "Batman (Hello Games) slapping Robin's (FDEV) face" meme.

ED - we can't make cool things for console players it's too hard!! No Man - Here you go.

You are a fantastic Narrator!! Explaining everything in details. Compliments sir! Keep it up!

Oof... That's gotta hurt lol I absolutely love the passive aggressive titles to your vids, Ant, subtly and indirectly calling out FDev on their abysmal treatment of Elite. What the hell is going on with that game... smh. It's so damn sad.

NMS are knocking it out of the park. I always liked freighters and now I love them. I have the ability to jump over 300ly, scan a system, find something interesting and fly down there. As an example, I needed Radon gas so I looked it up in the catalogue, found a suitable planet, flew down there, set up a base that had a mining machine and storage containers along with a teleporter. I then went off did a couple other missions and the next day teleported in to grab the radon and teleported back to the freighter. So easy! Imagine doing that in Elite Dangerous which still doesn't have mining machines even though you could deploy them in Frontier! Madness really.

This is so bloody WOW. Nothing truly compares to No Man's Sky. I truly hope for an overhaul of the space technology and remove a little of that unreal aspect. This is the redemption story one that other developers should embrace. Extremely well done.........

Nms has become my go to space game of choice. If they could truly improve the space flight mechanica i'd be thrilled. I do certainly miss flying my fully engineered ships around in elite, but nms is more fun and easy to play with my friends in a meaningful way.

When you look at what Hello Games have achieved here it makes you wonder why a company like frontier are failing so miserably. ED was always my go to game and if they hadn't screwed over the console players it probably still would be. Having said that No Man's Sky is extraordinary and a delight to play and what makes it even better is the cross play and number and quality of updates and all for free while frontier can't get their paid updates right. Move over frontier, there's a new king in town

Yayy new update! I have been playing since years ago and I' m still amazed by each updates. Keep it up Hello Games

Excellent update. No reason to play Elite Dangerous anymore. HelloGames devs are such passionate developers and it shows. NMS is my main space game now.

This update is pretty amazing, and there's also been some recent undocumented changes that largely flew under the radar introduced in the previous update. Capital freighter battle encounters used to have a hard limit of once per 3 hours (in addition to warping 5 times). This time limit was removed so you'll encounter the fights much more frequently if you're travelling, and they also upgrades the rewards for saving freighters so you actually want to do it for reasons other than buying a new freighter.

i have a 4 year old saved game decided to test it again last night after the dlc went live.. my fleet was still there to my amazement 1 class C freighter, 1 explorer, 1 trader and 1 S class fighter ship.. man this is how a game should be.. you left it dormant for awhile, comeback they still are there waiting for your orders although my explorer had been out exploring and been critically damaged (was repaired) she is back exploring again... and it didnt cost alot 250 material to repair. no upkeep for the fleet to pay every week customizable ships .. they added small colonies for you to be top dog overseer.. this is how you bounce back (stares at Elite Dangerous)... Looks like ill be flying, hunting and creating a new fleet.. and this i dont mind the grind... til Starfield comes out.

this dude could say anything and i would listen. great voice.

You can change the colors of the thrusters in Elite though. If you pay $$$.

Everytime I stop playing this game for a while they update it with some great new things and I need to play it again from the beggining to enjoy all the details. I love it.

Pretty cool, but these "ships" feel like mobile FPS levels. Star Citizen remains unmatched for feeling like you are truly inside a spaceship. And...there is not magic "teleportation".

Man, you don't know how grateful I am right now! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

They made the job, that elite should be do, but this will be never happens, I mean it seriously, when NMS get an overhaul of the flight physics and match them near to elite, then there is no reason to stick with elite for me. Meanwhile, I’m not interested in the Thargoids evolving lore, because I think this would be a new mess…bugs income and this is meant in both ways 😂

Even before it launched did I never expect myself to be playing it, yet here I bought it while watching this video.

No Man's Sky is still the greatest turn around for a company, ever. They're literally the antithesis of EA.

This video makes me want to buy it! I really dig the graphics style. Great video as always!!!

Incredible. How is this even possible with such a relatively small team. Frontier, eat your heart out. Watch and learn.

Your narration was such a welcome aspect of the video! I love how you talked about the feel of the Battlestar: Galactica, a show that I watched starring Lorne Greene, then later by Edward James Olmos. You really did a great job with this!!

This is the update I've been waiting for ever for. I haven't played this game in about a month. Time to fire it up again. This game has just killed the more arcade like space games. While it still doesn't have the customizable aspect of games like Space Engineers(which I doubt will ever be dethroned in that area)This is fantastic. Also WINDOWS?!¿

😵 OMG !! A dream come true !! I'll try this ASAP.

Most of the things in the endurance update like technologies and deeply customizable freighter cargo bay were already in previous releases, This last overhaul mainly adds better visuals and quality of life improvements: the ability to quickly teleport from the hangar bay to the captain room and then to any fregate (and back to the freighter !) is my prefered enhancement so far.

The freighters and EVERYTHING else looks AMAZING! The one little thing I can't get around is the catwalks not showing up upon arrival to the freighter and the bridge walkway weird teleportation going on....other than that super awesome! Allowing friends freighters in game as well was much desired as well, BUT, on Playstation when one friend spawns his freighter thier friends dissapears for him and vice-versa. The new freighter interiors is seriously sick looking now compared to before. So awesome! HELLO just keeps killing it! Next I hope they're focusing on more species of Aliens.

This might be the final enhancement that will finally have me play. Such a shame about other games not pulling this off correctly.....( Cough cough Elite).

He mentioned Battlestar Galactica as a great capital ship that checks all the boxes & is very memorable. I agree entirely. Another memorable capital ship for me, this time from a game, would be the mother ship from the HomeWorld series, especially The Pride of Hiigara, from HomeWorld 2.

This game is proof that everyone deserves a second chance

NMS is officially the best space game now

Love No Man’s Sky (didn’t always at the start), but I’m starting to get a little concerned about Hello Games. At this point I’d say they’ve finally delivered on all promises they made before launch so how are they financially justifying more free updates? I love free updates, I’m just not sure how they are keeping the lights on.

it's so nice to see you covering No Man's Sky more, OA! This update is certainly a very welcomed one. I have been playing since day 1, 2016 and this update is really going to supercharge my exploration adventures. Thanks very much for your video 😊👍

So ED is officially past tense now 😬

Over the now long history of No Man's Sky, this is the update that I have been looking forward to the most ever since the Foundations expansion. I saw the potential back then, despite how incredibly bare-bones it was at launch. I could also tell that if No Man's Sky lasted long enough that the Freighters would eventually get a major overhaul. Well this wonderful game has lasted long enough and I really can't stress enough just how happy I am with the Endurance expansion. It has been so much fun redesigning my main file's freighter base, incorporating parts of my old build with the new stuff to create something that's just incredible. Oh and Polestar is probably my favorite expedition so far, it was tons of fun and was great to see it completely focused on using the freighter.

if only the planetary scenery wasn't reminiscent, of a teletubby childs show

I love your voice, and your music choice, it’s like listening to David Attenborough describe alien flora/fauna

All these free addons for No Mans Sky make Elite and Star Citizen with the costs and the system requirements look bad. Well done Hello Games .

Im excited for this. Ive only recently got the game and now at the point that im beginning to interact with freighters, to the point of considering owning one. The fact this update with all the streamlining is awesome. The expedition will also be a nice tutorial for using a freighter, similar to how i used the last one to try out some different aspects of the game.

Shows you just what an incoherent mess Elite Dangerous is. The developers can't see past the next feature addition, no long term synergistic plan for the different gameplay loops. It's no wonder we've never seen a proper roadmap.

This makes *way* more sense than the planetary bases. It always felt weird that a game about traveling and exploring a universe (eventually) focused on the idea of building bases on planets.

I just wish the flight model was better in NMS.

When ObsidianAnt says “indeed” >>>>

Im super excited about this update. I always thought NMS was super close to the ideal space fantasty but this just really nails it.

Every time a new update for No Man's Sky comes out, i'm flabbergasted by the sheer ammount of work, dedication and love Hello Games has pushed throughout the years. Even tho I haven't played much of it. This games has come far. From a disatrous launch, to what every game studio out here should aspire to do. Never give up, and push on. My upmost congratulation and respect to Hello Games for that.

Hi OA, I really thought I would dislike NMS as it would feel less mature then ED. But after losing any trust I previously has in Frontier and seeong your content, I decided to give it a shot. This has been a great experience, I never liked exploring but the first planet I landed on in NMS changed that. Very combat focused player but it seems the game has ways I can even make that skillset flourish. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Anyone who is in the same boat, give it a try NMS is great now.

NMS never ceases to impress me on the amount of content the are pushing out. Great video on the update!

Mind blown 🤯. I really need to update my machine so I can get back in to this game, haven’t played properly in years. It’s also quite something, when one thinks back, to the three horse race that was the space game genre back in 2016. With Elite Dangerous first out of the gate, followed by Star Citizen with NMS stumbling at the first hurdle, only to pick its self up and not only catch the main competition, but to leave them all behind in its wake. Way to go Hello Games! 👏

that freighter in the intro looks awesome

To be able to pilot the capital ships would make it absolutely perfect, maybe not so much inside atmospheres/planetside due to the sheer size but nothing wrong with sending a lil scout down hence our good old starships. I'm an absolute simp for giant ships - x series, eve online, starpoint Gemini and even elite dangerous to some extent. Please HG make it happen!!

I never thought I would have heard David Attenborough narrating a No Man's Sky update one day, but I'm quite pleased.

Hot damn. Hello games keeps showing how to support a game. Heading in right now

I've been playing the new update and fixing the damage done from the update as well as taking advantage of the new features and just realized how this really opens up possibilities. With everything on board the freighter, you really can explore at will and more comfortably with everything you need onboard.

Amazing update, I’ve not dived back into the game properly since beyond but this will have me back for sure. Kinda wish we could have a fighter hanger on our ships for NPC controlled defence ships, a proper battlestar needs its jets!

Love the massive arboraeum you've put in your freighter, OA! Yep, the freighter base QoL improvements are huge ... not to mention the new asteroid fields and other galactic phenomena. The upcoming expedition will have me back in NMS after a long break. So much high quality content has been added in the last year, my brain short-circuited with the release highlights for this and previous patches on top of the previous two, ROFL. I've not yet got around to messing with Settlements, Living Ships or Pirates.

Thinking on it, my major issue was my net, which has now been resolved and my first forway back into online has been Genshin Impact. Now I'm much more confident and ready to tackle No Man's Sky and Star Citizen again!

Your analysis is superb, as always! I flipped from Elite after over 3K hours and haven't looked back. Granted, I still jump into my main Elite save every now and then, but it just doesn't hold me and I'm quickly back in NMS when I get a break to play.

Great update, it always made sense that the freighter base would/should be epic and a primary base, but that always felt so limited. Using portals to get to freighter is great, but now we just need an Exosuit tech that gives us 'beam aboard' function and we'll be living the dream :D

Remember this was a small studio that bit off more than it could chew, but most companies would of abandoned their project and started new ones under a different name, Sean Murray and crew stuck by their product, refined it, gave it vast updates over the years and didn't ask for another dime from customers. Like the game or not their business ethic is unquestionable and they've learnt the hard way and chose to grow from that.

This update has really been needed - love the idea of the different areas of the ship that can now be built.

I first got the game six months after launch on a Steam Sale and enjoyed it quite a bit. Since then, each new update has introduced a plethora of new things. Adding capital ships and frigates has been the biggest change for me, since before that earning money was pretty difficult, and now it's a snap, as long as you have fuel. My capital ship isn't that big, only a B rank. The one change I did notice was before it let me have a portal and all my base support staff on my capital ship, but now those are all gone. I guess they want to encourage more land-based bases again. I've rarely used the Exocraft since I didn't really need to have planetside bases much before, except on key resource planets where I would basically just throw down a hab and a portal. Never gotten a mech suit, or fought giant sandworms or anything like that still. I've been stuck on the Mind Arc quest for years. Last year I finally built one, but forgot to have it in my inventory. I went back and got it, but I wasn't able to turn the quest in at that point again, and I couldn't find a new location, so I had to start all over. So much has changed, I wonder if it would be worth starting a new game and losing my hundreds of hours of progress. I've heard they start you off a lot faster now, but I sure as heck don't want to have to find and grind out a high level multi-tool or Hauler again.

I like the cranes in the hanger bay, ads to the imersion how cool would it be to see your ship npcs repairing/ upgrading your stored ships. i wonder how many people would enjoy adding a mechanic like wear and tear on your ships?

Cool, always fun to jump into one of the new expeditions
