HALLOWEEN UPDATE
I BELIEVE IN SPACE HALLOWEEN!
No worries! I think this community is doing just fine. But of course we'd welcome more posts from you too 🖖🏻

Join us on beautiful Gwolver Sigma, new (interim) capital planet of the Galactic Hub Project!
(lemmy.world)
(Also important to note here: the capital is just one of the Galactic Hub's systems! We have over 5,000 systems in our space claim in Euclid alone, so you can find your own "rural" area near the crowded capital too!)

The Galactic Hub Project
Largest & Oldest Active Civilization
11,000+ Player Bases, 78,000+ Subreddit Subscribers, 13,000+ Discord Members
The Galactic Hub Project (r/NMSGalacticHub), founded October 2016, is Euclid's multiplayer hotspot. With a greater concentration of players than anywhere else in No Man's Sky, there's no better location to experience Civilized Space gameplay!
A few of our features include:
-
Chapters - The Galactic Hub has a variety of sub-organizations called Chapters, like the GH Exobiology Corps (focused on fauna), the GH Defense Force (focused on defense & combating griefers), the GH Star League (focused on hosting multiplayer "simulation sports" competitions), & more!
-
Colonies - In the Hub, colonies are communities of multiple players collaborating in some way. This always includes building bases, which are often built under the same theme. Colonies may be as big as a whole system, or as small as a single trade post. The most active colonies are managed by Governors. Governors are interlopers who volunteer to run a colony. A governor's main focus is keeping their colony active - this often involves writing missions or hosting events for their colonists. Some colonies even have Mayors, which manage even smaller communities known as Territories within a Colony. Anyone may set up their own colony in Hub space and act as a Governor!
-
Multiplayer Events - From laid-back Social Nights to the NMS take on eSports Star League, the Galactic Hub has multiplayer social events nearly every week - sometimes multiple each week. Come meet your neighbors!
-
Economy - The GH has its own native currency, HubCoin. It is rewarded exclusively for activity representing the Galactic Hub on various platforms (Reddit, Discord, Wiki, YouTube). HubCoin is never available for sale for dollars, pounds, etc - "real world money" is never required or involved. HubCoin is used to facilitate a metagame economy. For example, to earn coin, players can open their own Businesses with in-game locations in Hub space. To spend coin, players might browse our Discord server's Marketplace and buy goods like custom ships, custom companions, services-of-convenience (ie construction materials), or even 100%-free real-world Hub merch. (Real-world merch availability may vary.)
-
Canonization - Hello Games was kind enough to canonize the Galactic Hub. In other words, we're official in-game content! The "Pilgrim" title can only be unlocked by visiting our old capital planet, New Lennon. Our emblem can be purchased at the QuickSilver store as a base decal or player banner. We're also referenced in the Mission Board and the dialogue of a Traveller, as well as being referenced in the Waking Titan ARG!
That's just a quick look at some of our features. We also have interactions with other civilizations, we're a founding member of the United Federation of Travelers, and much more - but above all else, what really defines the Galactic Hub is our thriving and friendly community. Join us and find your new home in the stars!
Nice! The one on the upper-left does it for me. Glowing red, Sith-style diplo logo? Yes

Atlantid Multi-tools can only be obtained if you have already

completed the Autophage storyline.
Found just outside of Galactic Hub space
It's a brand-new feature! All previous Expeditions required a new save.

Join us, starting TOMORROW, for 28 hours of multiplayer events! It's UNIFICATION DAY in No Man's Sky!
(lemmy.world)
Discord Server Link
👾 Introduction 👾
Unification Day is a semi-canon, semi-fanmade holiday, which has historically involved civilizations across the simulation. If you're unfamiliar with the history of Unification Day, you're encouraged to learn more about it here!
This year, Unification Day has been organized as a 28-hour base tour with a variety of activities and social events. That means there is no single "Unification Day System" as in past years. We believe this will provide an ideal format to highlight the builds which civilizations put the most time, effort, and spirit into: those in their home-space claims.
While the holiday is all about celebrating civilized space, Unification Day is not a holiday exclusive to members of civilizations. If you're a lone traveler looking to try out some new activities and meet some new people, you're just as welcome here as anyone else!
⏱️ Schedule ⏱️
A current copy of the schedule can be found here. All times are in UTC. Locations will be added soon.
The schedule is still being discussed by the Unification Day Planning Council (the heads / staff of involved civilizations). All scheduled events are subject to change for at least the next week. I'll post any updates in both the Discord server and future Unification Day Reddit posts.
The schedule includes exocraft races, starship PVP, on-foot team deathmatches in a city-sized PVP map, a huge variety of minigames like shield wrestling and a maze escape, art and museum tours, and tons of social events and general base tours. The goal was to represent as many civilizations as possible while also providing the greatest variety of activities as possible.
⚠️ Rules ⚠️
All rules apply to both voice chat and regular messages.
- No discriminatory, toxic, or otherwise un-fun content. No slurs, no putting down other players' builds (unless constructive criticism is requested), no harassment, no irl politics, etc.
- Don't start drama. This is Unification Day, get unified or move on!
- No uninvited PVP. (Remember to turn your PVP off outside of events anyway, just to be safe.)
- No excessive terrain manipulator use.
- No excessively massive pets.
6. ❗❗❗DO NOT BUILD A BASE IN ANY UNIFICATION DAY SYSTEM WITHOUT CONTACTING THAT CIVILIZATION'S LEADER FIRST.❗❗❗
Uploading bases in any of these systems could result in negative impacts for that civilization, like decreased rendering reliability or even the entire base no longer showing for visitors. These civilizations are trying to provide a fun time for everyone, please respect their space
Added to the sidebar!
Sounds like it'll have even more of a multiplayer focus than No Man's Sky does!
I can't wait to see everyone there, and you know the Galactic Hub is already making plans for our sister-group to be based on the new planet.
I think Hello Games is doing something big behind the scenes. Last Expedition was the worst one so far imo, it was the first one to have ZERO narrative of any kind, 100% just chores and fetch quests. PC received an Experimental update weeks ago that Console still hasn't received. And this next update represents part 4 out of 4 of the Void Mother narrative, the grand finale.
All of that makes me feel like a lot of the core team is working on something else.
So I don't have a direct answer to your question, but I will say, to me, it's another indication that something huge is on the way.
Personally, as someone who has unlocked every single Expedition item legitimately, I think exclusivity culture is lame and dumb. I don't like these things more just because I know other people don't have them. If anything, it makes me feel slightly guilty for using them lmao
This is very needed for the Lemmy NMS people imo. While I understand the people who said they want everything NMS to just be found on this community, I think the very specific formatting (and therefore moderation) needs of the Glyph Exchange formula makes sense to put into its own community.
Good luck with the community traveler!
That's insane. I'm no lawyer but I've used the CCPA to get my info removed from a lot of those data-broker sites. It's always immediate, "Okay, we've removed your information." California better hit Reddit hard for this, and Europe too.
If you ignore construction guidelines for a colony, we'll ask you to remove the base. If you refuse to remove the base, you'll be removed from the community. If the base is malicious (ie blocking doors, built on top of someone else's base without their approval, etc) we will report the base to Hello Games, and they have a very good response rate of removing those bases.
If that seems a little controlling, you have to understand that this city is being constructed using very specific techniques to minimize rendering issues / lag and provide the best experience for residents. If people start constructing standard bases, not being aware of the techniques we use, it will have a negative impact on everyone who visits the city because it won't load as well.
Plus there's enough room for 170+ people to claim their own apartments, which they can build inside of, and "free building" systems all around this one. So there's no shortage of available space for people to construct whatever they want... I mean... it's a very big game. Just not in this system.
But tbh it's very rarely an issue. We have quite a few colonies where we ask people not to upload new bases. And when it is an issue, it's usually not people trying to do anything disruptive, just people who don't know any better.
