I'm not sure I'll ever acquire one of the new organic spacecrafts that arrived with the No Man's Sky Living Ships update. There are several quests attached, and a hefty Quicksilver investment that requires completing a bunch of community research missions, and I'm so incredibly lazy. So, I may never actually get a Living Ship in No Man's Sky (opens in new tab) to call my own.
That's okay, though! There's more to the update than just the Living Ships, like lots of brand new bizarre encounters in star systems, and I've been having a lovely time just flying around trying to find everything new. I even made a video of the strangest things I've found in the new No Man's Sky update (opens in new tab).
And along the way I'm rediscovering the simple joys of just flitting around the galaxy and taking pictures with No Man's Sky's photo mode. If you've been away from NMS for a while, even if you're not interested in acquiring a living ship, you should jump back in for a few hours, visit some star systems and planets, and take some pictures. It's the perfect way to spend an evening or two (or many more). Here are some of my recent travel snaps.
