Relive the evolution of No Man's Sky through its most impactful updates. From co-op multiplayer to corvettes and more.
No Man's Sky Player adds Starship Racing to their planet
One of these new creations was displayed at No Man's Sky subreddit by Pleasant-Disaster837. Specifically, the Reddit user had designed what they called “Starship Races,” allowing players to show off their piloting skills. As seen in the video, Pleasant-Disaster837 had created a series of gateways that players had to fly through as they raced around the planet. Passing through the checkpoints often required sharp turns and can be challenging when trying to get a fast time. “It's not as easy as it looks,” said the Reddit user when he posted the course. To add to the fun, multiple spaceships can race at the same time, as illustrated in the video.
No Man's Sky players have loved racing through Pleasant-Disaster837's course. So far, the Reddit post has received hundreds of upvotes, with many fans wondering how the track was built. According to the creator, camera glitches and multiple PS accounts were used to make the creation happen. For those interested in testing the build, the glyphs were shared at the end of the video. Pleasant-Disaster837 noted that a “fairly consistent flow of players” have been checking out the course since its release. The creator even hosted several three-lap races. In the Reddit comments, some fans talked about the positives of the track, with one person saying it's “tight, technical, and renders super fast.”
This player-created space racing course has many fans hoping for an official feature to be added in the future. Interestingly, one user pointed that out No Man's Sky actually had the feature in version 1.4 before it was later removed. Unfortunately, implementation was very limited at the time. However, it's possible that the feature could return, given Hello Games' commitment to adding new content No Man's Sky.
Players will have to wait and see if spaceship racing ever comes back to the game in an official capacity. Still, it's nice that players have another option thanks to Pleasant-Disaster837's hard work. It is worth mentioning that other players have shared impressive creations No Man's Sky in recent months. For example, incredible ship designs have been showcased thanks to last year's Voyagers update, which added new construction tools to design custom Corvette-class starships.
As No Man's Sky approaching its 10-year anniversary, it looks like Hello Games has no plans to slow down. While the developer continues to work on Do not light a fireit has stated that more updates are planned for the game in 2016 as well. Time will tell what other content can come up No Man's Sky in the coming months.
