Hello Games has released yet another large free update to No Man\u2019s Sky<\/em>. This one\u2019s called Outlaws<\/em>, and it delivers a set of missions where the player can acquire black market tech and other essential goods from other ships in a less-than-savory manner \u2014 and then smuggle it for a profit. There are also bounty missions and planetary raids. There will be high-conflict zones in areas where outlaws have captured space stations where you\u2019ll have plenty of chances to engage in dogfights. Oh, and there are now capes and hoods that you can unlock for your character.<\/p>\n

The studio says that combat has been improved with \u201cspeed and excitement\u201d being the focus. Ships should handle better, but for those who want more accessibility during fights, there\u2019s a new option called \u201cAuto-Follow\u201d to let you focus more on shooting and shield management.<\/p>\n

As with almost every No Man\u2019s Sky<\/em> update, there are a plethora of other improvements that might make you want to jump back in. There\u2019s a new Solar Starship, which is the first new addition to the fleet since the beginning of 2020. (It definitely has a different look from the previous set of ships in the game.)<\/p>\n

Additionally, you\u2019ll be able to own nine ships (previously six), and you can recruit and upgrade pilots for your ships, which each have unique combat abilities. All starships have support for more high-capacity cargo slots than before, and you can make the upgrade for your ship at any space station.<\/p>\n
