Welcome to the Galactic Hub, interloper! There are a lot of planets to check out lol. Be sure to join the Discord too, if you want to get involved with the community.

Pretty much. It uses cryptocurrency infrastructure - and I don't really understand why anyone would be opposed to the tech in and of itself. It's useful tech, as demonstrated by us using it lol. But it'll never be exchangeable for real money, and anyone attempting to do so will be banned. And, because of the underlying tech, it's very easy to monitor everyone's transactions to insure that.

As for environmental concerns, the testnet (monopoly money area of crypto) runs on Proof of Authority. Which is sort of how most programs work: you confer with a server that says, "Yep, that's a real and valid action." It's not like Bitcoin where people are competing using energy-intensive computing to solve numerical problems to support the network and blah blah. Interacting with HubCoin should use less electricity than streaming media or playing video games, I would think, especially since each interaction only takes a minute or two.

But it's also optional. You can be a part of the Galactic Hub without using HubCoin. And if even that is uncomfortable for you, certainly no one is compelled to join.

Of course! I love Halloween so I wanted to give the community a fun way to celebrate, plus this is great for people who can't make the multiplayer events we usually host. Let me know what you think, and happy early Halloween interloper

I think it should all work for you on Switch! This is all meant to be playable entirely solo, except one mission which requires you to send 3 screenshots to me because I couldn't work out a smarter way to do it ๐ŸŽƒ Thank you interloper!

Yes, S-Class Staffs are obtainable in a similar way to multitools. With Staffs, the Head piece determines class and (for the most part) color. So, if possible, check every different head at every different Autophage Terminal in order to find S-Class Staffs. It should be considerably faster than hunting Multitools.

 

Introducing a revolution in cross-base transport: the System for Propulsion via Hazardous Fauna for Aerial Rapid Transit, or the PHFART System. This system, pioneered by Galactic Hub scientists, promises a new era of relaxing, convenient, and safe public transport for our beautiful Hubtropolis of New Ziki City.

The PHFART System enables players to conveniently move between districts of New Ziki City using the propulsive force generated by our all-natural, free-range, wild-grown Gas Pods. Players using the system may experience a brief repulsive smell or the sensation of being kicked in the torso and head. These are normal experiences while using the system, and will pass without harm. Soon you will find yourself peacefully floating through the air, phasing through solid surfaces thanks to our patented persistent-teleportation technology.

Once you reach your destination, you need only stand up to halt your momentum and disembark from the PHFART. If you find yourself above the terrain, you will need to use a jetpack to safely cushion your fall. If you find yourself below the terrain, you will conveniently pop back up through the ground, ready for the day's adventures.

Please take care to board the PHFART System quickly, as the toxic gases given off by the all-natural, free-range, wild-grown Gas Pods may cause discomfort, damage, or fatality after prolonged exposure. Media reports of organ damage after proper use of the FART System have not been verified by Galactic Hub medical professionals. You have nothing to fear while using the PHFART.

The first PHFART System can be found in the Commerce District of New Ziki City, with more planned for construction soon. Our scientists will continue to refine its design to maximize speed, safety, and comfort! Good journeys, interlopers!

Yeah, all staffs have 3 supercharged slots at S-Class I believe.

[โ€“] NMSGalacticHub 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It seems like both the class and the color are determined by your location (can vary from one camp to another on the same planet) and the Head you use.

I just upgraded it at the space station to be S-Class

Those will be first-come, first-serve beginning Sep 1st. So we'll release the location that day, you come visit the city, find the district you want to live in, then get in contact with the District Mayor for that district. They can help you get settled from there.

I can help you (or anyone else) via Lemmy, but you'd get the quickest response on our Discord.

A lot of people find that civilized space is the thing that gets them to stay engaged in the end game. Helping to contribute to a community, helping new players, opening your own business to provide resources, stuff like that. I, of course, recommend the Galactic Hub as your first consideration for a civilization.

[โ€“] NMSGalacticHub 1 points 10 months ago

That's like saying a sandbox is only sand. It is what you make of it. It doesn't need to be deep if your imagination is. Granted, that won't be the type of game everyone enjoys. But for those who do enjoy it, they end up putting in 2,000 hours like me, and I've seen plenty of people with more hours than me too.

[โ€“] NMSGalacticHub 1 points 10 months ago

They've recently added far more difficult enemies. Combat could still use some work, but groups like the Galactic Hub (my civilization) host PVP competitions. Fighting another player is way harder than fighting a Sentinel.

[โ€“] NMSGalacticHub 1 points 10 months ago

I think part of the issue is, the game makes you feel like you're supposed to "get it" all now. Whereas in the earlier versions, it just dropped you in the world, and you were expected to learn at your own pace.

If you can get past the initial information overload, accepting that you aren't going to retain or understand it all, then you can go back to playing with the "I'll learn when I learn" mentality.

The launch event will mostly be based on our Discord, so join there if you're able to! We will still have Reddit-based support available for interlopers who do not use Discord, but it will be slower.

The Galactic Hub Project

Largest & Oldest Active Civilization

475+ Documented Bases, 11,000+ 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, Twitter). 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!

 

HUBTalks Guest Speaker Sessions are a repeating event in Galactic Hub space. Every month, a speaking session will be opened at the Galactic Hub Capitol Building in the Council Chambers room. Anyone may speak on any topic related to No Man's Sky, science, scifi, art, or technology - including comedy themed around those topics.

In this speech, Professor Malocura prepares us for a journey through a new, possible future. One hinted at by new updates, such as the lore of Sentinel pillars - a future where the Void Mother / Abyss gains further control over the Simulation. In this engaging speech, the professor presents evidence for his claims, suggests possible explanations for incomplete pieces of the puzzle, and answers questions from audience members.

In this speech, Xander - reading a speech written by Favorite - covers the lore surrounding the destruction of Korvax Prime and the aftermath. Then, the speech segues into the Korvax Monoliths and Ruins, and their role in preserving Korvax knowledge past the destruction of Korvax Prime.

 

We were hosting an event in the Galactic Hub, on a planet which is designated to have no laws. So a guy showed up and was disrupting the event we were hosting there. He learned that while it may be lawless, it isn't defenseless, as we shot him out of the sky many times (he kept returning).

Greetings travelers!

As great as the current banner is - it's a bunch of Galactic Hub citizens doing a "raid" on my massive NipNip farm, taking some buds home for themselves - it is nonetheless just an image I grabbed off my PC while making this group.

The community-driven nature of this community, and of the whole Fediverse, should be reflected in our banner!

Between now and July 30th, submit an image with the phrase "Banner Contest" in the title to take place in a community-wide vote to decide the new banner!

  • Must be an unedited, unmodded No Man's Sky screenshot. Keep in mind that it will be in banner dimensions, so the focus of the screenshot should be fairly narrow in terms of height. The exact height changes based on whether it's viewed on mobile or PC.

  • Must include the words "Banner Contest", spelled correctly, in the title. I'll be depending on the search function to find all the entries, so if the search doesn't find it, I won't find it either.

The banner will remain... until the next contest. Good luck and good journeys travelers!

How can you unban someone who has been banned from a Lemmy community? I had a user post off-topic content which appeared to be trolling, but then send me paragraphs explaining how it was an error on their part. I banned them after their initial comment (because it really did just look like generic low-effort trolling), but now I can't figure out how to reverse the ban.
