Hello Games continue to expand the No Man’s Sky universe like there is no tomorrow and have now dropped the latest update - Endurance - which sees a huge overhaul of the games Freighters.

For the latest news on Endurance and its new patch, please see the bottom of the page.

What is No Man’s Sky Endurance (patch notes 3.94)¶

Freighter bases have been completely overhauled in update 3.94 which is now available to download, and in good news for Switch owners, will be included when the game comes to that console in October of this year.

While your existing freighter bases will be preserved, No Man’s Sky Endurance brings with it a huge array of new Freighter parts and themed rooms which will allow you to create something much more distinctive in space than we have previously been able to do.

Freighters will now have crew members moving throughout their corridors so the whole thing should now seem a little less eerie than previously, with only two NPCs to interact with generally.

A huge visual upgrade also comes to freighters and their exteriors giving them a much more varied look - expect to see many different capital ships as you zip around space now.

We have updated our Freighter section to reflect all the chanegs in the new update so head over there for further information.

Organic Frigates¶

Organic frigates also join organic star ships in the game and look really cool and also giving you something else to worry about as they now need to be fed in order to evolve.

Freighter Farms¶

Freighter farms will now be able to be constructed with specialized cultivation chambers where you can grow plants and crops and harvest them for a profit with a single interaction. It’s always good to see the quality of life improvements such as this as NMS can have quite a bit of repetition in its generic farming.

New space effects¶

Space has never looked to good as in the latest NMS update. Black Holes and gorgeous Nebula now litter the great expanse.

One of the best things about this is you can now build externally on your freighters to help you take in the view even more. Observation decks and catwalks will allow you to take in space vistas as never before.

You can also add windows to your freighter’s corridors now so you can getter another viewpoint on space as you walk around.

Quality of life improvements¶

One of the reasons we love what Hello Games continues to do with NMS is the Quality of Life improvements that keep getting added. While the base building was such a large part of the game, it could at times be clunky so new mechanics allowing you to directly replace base parts without having to delete the previous part and worry about snapping your new part once again are more than welcome here.

Polestar Expedition¶

Finally, the Polestar Expedition arrives and each phase will reward new collectibles as ever as you complete the cruise. The Fleet Commander’s cape being the most prized asset of them all. Check out our page above for a full breakdown of the rewards available.

New asteroids¶

We are also getting several new asteroid types and the starship scanner will now locate asteroids that are rich in resources.
