Recently, developer Hello Games launched the latest free update "Outlaws" for No Man's Sky. Among other new features, it adds "pirates", as well as a series of black market economic models. However, some players have reported that too many pirates have been added to the update.
Uninhabited Deep Space was first released for PC and PS4 in 2016, Hello Games has introduced more than a dozen major updates over the years, bringing features such as mechs and planetary bases to it. The "outlaws" who landed on all platforms changed the way the game fought, and melee can now take place in the planet's atmosphere, "pirates may attack your settlement".
But on The Reddit of No Man's Space, players complain that attacks from NPC pirates occur too frequently. One player recounted how pirates invaded his base six times in 10 minutes: "Seriously!! Is this the new normal!! Others responded with stories about how pirates are currently "broken" and "slaughtered."
It's not that players hate the pirate invasion mechanics themselves. This is part of the update, and most players think it's still an interesting part. Players are only bored with the frequency with which pirates suddenly appear in an otherwise calm moment, something they only noticed after the launch of Outlaws.
Xaine, a Youtube channel for "No Man's Deep Space," recently released a video saying the game's upcoming next patch includes fixes to "an issue that causes pirates to attack planetary buildings too often." Developer Hello Games also confirmed this to Kotaku, but did not provide a specific date.
A representative of Hello Games told Kotaku: "The problem has been solved in our experimental version, a few hours after the release, and several of our other most critical issues. Once it passes the test, we expect it to be released on all platforms the next day or so. ”
In short, beware of pirates outside. The "Outlaws" update of "No Man's Sky" is now available on PS and PS4
