Player Constructs Amazing City on Freighter in No Man’s Sky

Sure, here it goes:

Okay, so picture this: someone actually built a whole futuristic city on their freighter in No Man’s Sky. Yeah, a city, floating around in space on one of those massive ships. Seriously, the customization in this game can get wild sometimes.

If you’ve ever messed around with this game—launched way back in 2016, by the way, with all those endless planets (18 quintillion, or so they say)—you might remember how it started out. It was, uh, a bit rough. Worlds felt empty, and players didn’t have much to do. I guess you could say it was like bringing an umbrella to a desert—just a bit uncomfortable. But fast forward to now, and it’s like a whole different vibe. Updates keep rolling out, jam-packed with stuff. The latest, Relics update? It’s all about fossils. Yeah, massive fossils. Go figure.

Now, amidst all this treasure-hunting, one player, m0ushinderu, crafted this sprawling city on their ship. Imagine skyscrapers, kind of like… New York in space? Okay, not quite, but you get me. It’s got these lit-up towers, comfy places to sit, screens showing who-knows-what, and even street lamps! Workers stroll around like they own the place, but here’s a kicker—you can’t see the city from outside the freighter. Also, little side note: why does that bug me? No idea.

Anyway, diving deeper—literally and metaphorically—the creators of this city used something called an A-Class Dreadnought. Sounds fancy, right? They followed a guide they found on Reddit, of all places. Guess you find inspiration in the strangest corners of the internet. The trick was flipping some lighted signs and adding all sorts of scaffolding and catwalks. Apparently, it’s more straightforward than it seems. But now they’re thinking about upgrading to a better ship to, uh, build bigger and better.

But hold up, it’s not just freighters getting the makeover treatment. Players are going all out, building orbital bases that push the planetary height limits to the extreme. There’s even a trend with recreating Star Wars stuff—like, the Millennium Falcon kind of stuff. It’s nuts.

So, there you have it. Players are building out-of-this-world creations in one of the most expansive games out there. And this city-in-a-ship is just a testament to that creativity. Who knew space-faring could look so… lived-in?
