No Man’s Sky Beyond Features 32-Player Planets, Player Hub, Other Activities - MMORPG.com
No Man's Sky's latest update, Beyond, will feature 32-player planets and a player hub of sorts when it launches on August 14.

From what i can gleam from this its the same as MP is now just instead allowing 32 instead of 4 players and allowing a better mission hub!
Wouldn't it of been better to just allow randoms to connect (so the world isnt empty) to you via a search for free session (locked would make it private access) and allow u a save when u exit so u can rejoin to that portion of the universe again if u want and continue NMS stuff.
Only reason to not allow this would be online trolls but then again u could just impose land rights if u have a base here no one can not build within 10 miles of u without express permission if the signal booster (or the thing that builds the base cannot remember what it is off the top o me head) hasnt been active for more than a week then its automatically deleted and people can build near you or appropriate your structures
“You can even set up a kind of ‘fireteam’ with them, keeping you together as a group, though he advised that that term, popularised by modern military jargon (and Destiny), was a bit ‘too masculine and aggressive for our nice gentle, ambient game.’
All time classic MY NEW FAVORITE POST! (Keep laying those bricks)

There is the community created galactic hub. This is almost like a "lobby", for lack of a better word. While I am glad they've added so much in the way of multiplayer options over the last few updates, they need to sorely add more in the way of exploration. There isn't enough variety in how planets look, flora, fauna, etc. It would be adding a lot in art assets, but it's sorely needed for those who just like to cruise the universe looking for interesting things.
No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.
I think I read somewhere that in online mode when you enter a planet you will meet randoms if random people are on the same planet. An instance of up to 32 people will be created for that planet.
That is part of the the third pillar of this update. "More variety in the biomes"
Every game ever made can be said to have potential,games have potential the first day they are designed.
All we care about as gamer's is THE GAME.
"FEATURES"32 player shards,that is a feature hmmm i would say not much hope for this game if that is a feature.Just imagine all those games that shut down servers because they didn't have 1500-5k players per,they could have kept them going and added more servers to keep up with the heavy workload.
I said it before,this is a decent idea on paper,we are not ready for the idea,it is poorly implemented and this developer is not ready for the idea,not for at least another 15 years.
Will feature a hub to spawn in for missions,nice another dev that tries it's best to ruin immersion,the side of gaming that should be improved and not removed.This is what i call feature creep,just adding ideas to say they have added ideas but nothing is trying to bring a world to life.Random spawns,a few players ,hubs for missions,why are you even doing the missions,idk likely just there to say "we have missions" with no story/lore backdrop to the actual game world,they are just there.
Call me in 15 years when we have better tech,better storage and perhaps a developer that can afford to do it right AND has the knowledge to build a world properly.About the same time VR becomes doable is when this will all come together,so more like 20 years from now.How are they even funding this,it says f2p.
Trying to make a living in video games,well sell this for $15 ,it's better than Minecraft that sells for $30"way over priced",maybe you sell a million copies and bring in 15 million.Move on to working on improvements,maybe in 3 years something more viable to sell as an expansion,maybe you earn another 15-20 million,all is good.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'
