That would be nice, especially since Thrustmaster re-released their T.Flight Hotas X for the PS4.

Can we get big space ships like the big ass ones in star wars? Lol the triangle shaped ones 
then you could take your smaller ship out for a ride to the planet?
Thats how i imagined this game haha ise the big ships for traveling and the smaller ones to explore. You could have a crew that works for you like in aliens do weapon research lol and have labs in your ship, encountering a planet with xenomorphs or facehugers bring them back on board lol ok im getting caried away hahaha

According to the patch notes it's confirmed to be coming, but not in this update.

I want my own planet where i can conduct weird experiments. If someone discovers my planet one day they could find the weird shit i made

Kinda dumb how they had to downgrade the rotation for people who couldn't figure out was happening. Maybe they should add more markers onscreen?
Stuff like that would be awesome and it really has me interested in what this game could look like in 6 months.

These patch notes are REALLY making me want to grab this for PS4 instead of PC.
I presume, due to the streams I've seen, people were getting confused that the markers were moving away from them as they were flying.
Why? So you can play few days earlier?

The very first note about unique paths with choices that impact what you experience drove me to pre-order it on PS4 as soon as I finished reading the notes.
I figure I can do my first playthrough on PS4, with no distractions or tinkering around with settings to try to "fix things" to make the game look or play better, and then if I see that there are some significant bonuses to having the PC version, I will double dip and take a "different path" in the PC version with all the bells and whistles.
I mean, you know all that stuff will be in the PC version on release in just a few days, right?
Yeah, but his specific comment was about the patch notes making him want to pick up the PS4 version instead of PC.

Sounds like rotation might have been too fast. I mean it's never in issue in Elite Dangerous and that game is modeled off our own galaxy with realistic orbits and rotations of planets. NMS ships appear to have much faster acceleration as well, so the planets must have been spinning way way too fast.
I got both.
I couldn't tell if it was that or just the waypoints were a bit glitchy.
I'm still unclear on the balance of night/day cycles. It would be cool to land on a quickly spinning planet though.

Can't be bothered with base building shit. Why does every game have to have that now?

Probably to play earlier.

I'm shaking my head here.
For a game like this it makes alot of sense.
Depending on what the mean by owning giant freighters in the next update.
If it just a temp locations to store etc while in the solar system, then, meh...
But,
if it's actually owning a larger vehicle and a sub vehicle (current ship), than that changes everything.
Collecting/harvesting resources on a planet and moving on to the next, then making monthly stop to other traders etc and become filthy rich. Would be so awesome.
I'd have the sensation of ALIEN with the giant Nostromo pulling up to a planet to mine everytime,lol, and with the drop ship leaving the bay to go to the surface.
HAHAHAH

It's never bad to have extra options.
Especially when one of the most prevalent questions that comes up about this game is "what do you do?".

Right? They were so good about not talking about features before they were sure they'd be in the game, NPCs for example. To me, having realistic rotation and a day/night cycle based on that rotation is a huge feature and would really add to the immersion. I hope the reason it was axed is explained at some point.

Holy shit this is a huge patch. It basically fixes all the complaints the early players had and then some. What are the negatives that this game still holds after this patch?
Assuming it is made as extra option / not mandatory thing, but if things do sideways and they go AAA design then base building will take center of stage and be mandatory stuff to deal with.
It hasn't been removed, it's been reduced. Sounds like the planets were spinning too fast, now they're rotating slower.

Prepatch all planets have the exact same day/night cycle, so they're just slowing that down.
People like it? With a game like this it's going to be totally optional anyway.
Because like a lot of games it'll be more stable and polished.

Well, the devs have limited amounts of dev time, so I think there will be many decisions like this that split the fanbase because everyone has their own ideas of what should be in NMS and wants Hello to prioritize their version of the perfect game. Personally, I think building permanent bases goes against the spirit of the game, but I guess Sean thinks otherwise, or wants to appease the fans asking for it.
I don't think Hello is taking out "realistic" rotation or a day/night cycle based on that; they're just slowing down rotation, which will have the side effect of slowing down the day/night cycle. But I was wanting Earth-like day/night cycles and it sounds like every planet has the same cycle, which I find weird (and a big disappointment) since they've gone to so much trouble making things realistic otherwise.

Really hope they pulled this off, this could be one of the best space sims ever made. Dying to get stuck into this, even the patch notes make the game sound awesome lol.
Well it remains to be seen what it's like to play after the patch. Could still be a bit easy, or aimless for some.
Some people want cities and things too, but then there's always some nsort of wish list.

Planet Bish better be the most hazardous planet possible. 800mph winds with banhammers raining from everywhere.

This patch meant to stabilize and polish the game is a Day 1 patch. This isn't six months out.
Yet in the patch notes it says that they will look at balancing issues and other graphical updates are on the way.
Still not sure yet if I will actually wait
Day 1 patch fella. How many people waited to play WoW for the graphical update they gave races like 10 years later. Nah, get in day 1 mate.
I think so. I was ok with the early leaked stuff, because there wasn't really anything major to spoil, but now there's a whole host of features and mechanics that I think I'm going to enjoy letting the intended version of the game wash over me on Tuesday. The temptation to buy the digital version so I can play it tomorrow at 9 is great, but I'm a patient guy. I think I'm going to bow out of No Man's Sky threads tomorrow (with the exception of the photo sharing thread I'm creating so people can share their discoveries)

The game as it will be with patch on Tuesday is the way it was meant to be played. Get in there. They've said all along that if the game is successful that they'll keep updating it, and Sean said no reason those updates won't be free.
Get it!

Why are you bummed? The planets still rotate - they just reduced the speed at which they rotate. This is more realistic and will make the days and nights last longer.
I like the way you think!

You know what's great?
These patch details look like a NMS COMMUNITY WISHLIST.
How many patches/updates have you seen for games since - ever, have had a list of almost everything the community has been hoping for in it, with additional stuff for a future update we didn't even think they'd consider but are adding anyway?!?!?!?!!
They are literally giving us everything we asked for or were concerned about that should be included or fixed.

Funny, I'm the complete opposite. There's still tons of stuff from the streams I consider big spoilers and don't want to know about, but now everyone is back on the same page. I don't expect the patch to drop until late Monday or Tuesday, so I don't think anything could be spoiled tomorrow that isn't already known.

Having to wait until Friday (PC version) is absolute torture now.

I'm hoping the bases serve as resource production. Find a space station looking for a certain resource and build a base on a nearby planet to provide trade lines which then makes cash.
Also hope you can build some sort of defense system so you can fend off invaders looking to steal your shit.
