No Man’s Sky Outlaws: New update adds illegal stations, fleets and capes

No Man’s Sky just received the next big update called Outlaws, adding new content to help you fulfill your space pirate dreams.

No Man’s Sky hasn’t shown much content in recent years, adding entirely new features to expand their already massive galaxy search feed. The latest game update was released yesterday with the addition of another great set of content.

The Outlaws update brings additional storytelling and features focused on more illegitimate activities taking place in outer space. Players can use wings in their fleet, enjoy enhanced space combat, and more.

Below, we discuss in detail everything coming to No Man’s Sky as part of this latest update.

solar ships

Sunships are a new class of starships with a number of procedurally generated variations. Each ship has its own unique technologies.

illegal stations

These stations can be found under illegal control throughout the galaxy. These stations will not have Sentinel sensors, but will have unique technology providers, mission agents, etc.

Improved space combat

Adjusted and balanced space combat.

explosions

Improved the destruction effect of ships, asteroids, cargo and space cargo.

frigate fleets

Players can now see multiple fleets of frigates traversing the surface of planets. The deformation and engine effects of frigates and freighters have also been improved.

smuggling

Buy contraband from illegal stations, then transfer them to regulated systems to resell them for a profit. But passing through licensed vessels can scan your cargo for illegal materials, so be sure to take anti-corrosion measures such as the Cargo Probe Deflector.

Fight in the atmosphere

Aerial combat now extends into the atmosphere, contributing to more dynamic combat encounters.

Ship Cargo Hold

Starships can now be built with a large capacity cargo inventory.

fleets

Advanced Starship Fleets

Players can now own nine starships (up from six) and can now upgrade their main ship into cargo hangars.

Material

space combat autopilot

The new version of Starship Combat Auto-Follow allows automatic target locking for space combat. This mod automatically locks and controls enemy ships. This mode is activated as toggle or shutdown in the settings menu.

Fuzzy shipping

under the rebel star

Explore the illegal systems and their objectives through a series of new missions and earn rewards such as new titles or special Sroud of Freedom title customization.

Spaceship Energy Shields

Pirate, Trader, and Sentinel star planes now come equipped with energy shields that vary based on power and charge rate.

interstellar piracy

As Sentinel Hunters now react to attacks on planetary Trade Routes, the increased payoff for Trucks Hijacking or Passing Trade Ships has increased.

After participating in acts of space hacking, you can now restore your reputation at the center of the station by sending a fake passport to any regulated space station.

Variety of spaceship weapons

All Star Wars weapons are balanced to make tactical decisions easier in dogfights. The weapon now has different levels of shield or hull damage, Cyclotron Ballista now disables enemy ship engines, and Phase Beam can shield target energy directly into your shield systems.

pirate missions

Illegal systems have their own Bounty Masters that offer a unique range of procedurally generated tasks.
