Patch 1.30 ist verfügbar und bringt immerhin bringt 7,232GB auf die Waage, doch was steckt alles im Update?

Die wichtigste Frage, die viele User stellten: hat es endlich den anfangs erwähnten Mehrspielermodus? Jein. Ihr könnt mit Freunden die Welt erforschen. Ihr seht sie als schwebende Leuchtkugeln wenn ihr am selben Planeten seid und hört sie sprechen. So könnt ihr begrenzt mit bis zu 16 Spielern interagieren. ABER dies soll erst der erste Schritt in einen vollständigen Koop-Modus sein, der euch am Ende erlauben soll miteinander zu forschen. Wann dieses Ziel erreicht werden soll haben die Entwickler jedoch noch nicht bekannt gegeben.

Aber nun zu den anderen Änderungen. Zuerst die Highlights, dann die vollständige Liste:

Highlights:

• Atlas Rises Story: eine bis dato unbekannte Rasse taucht auf und ihr müsst die Galaxie vor dem Untergang beschützen; ca 30h solle hier an Gameplay stecken
• Galaktische Regeneration: jedes Sonnensystem hat nun ein eigenständiges Ökosystem, mit Umwelt, Konflikten und Lebensformen die ihr mittels Technologie manipulieren könnt, außerdem wurde die Karte entsprechend angepasst
• Neue Welten: völlig neue Planeten mit neuen ungewöhnlichen Fauna und Flora
• gestrandete Frachter, die von euch ausgebeutet werden können
• Missionssystem: auf den Raumstationen könnt ihr euch von NPCs (Missionsoffiizieren) Aufträge holen
• Handelssystem
• verbesserter Visor: nun könnt ihr deutlich mehr aus einem Scan holen, so soll das Forschen interessanter gestaltet werden
• Überarbeitung des Userinterfaces: um den zahlreichen Änderungen gerecht zu werden, wurde auch das UI angepasst
• visuelle Verbesserungen: deutlich verbesserte Texutren, Effekte und Anpassungen bei Gesprächen und im Fotomodus
• Terrain-Anpassung: ihr könnt nun die Strukturen von Planeten anpassen und nun kreativer mit euren Bauten umgehen
• Portale: wie in der ursprünglichen News angekündig, könnt ihr euch mittels Portalen zwischen Planetensystemen bewegen -> Schnellreise
• Weltraumkämpfe: das Flug & Kampfsystem wurde deutlich von der Leine genommen und erlaubt nun deutlich umfangreichere bzw. "authentischere" Raumkämpfe
• In-Orbit-Flug: endlich gibt es einen Niedrig-Flug, ihr könnt deutlich freier in der Planetenathmosphäre fliegen und dort auch Kämpfe abhalten

Wer erst jetzt Interesse hat: NMS ist derzeit im Sommer-Sale für 14,5€ bis 16.8. 

So wem das noch nicht genug ist:
