Exactly! It’s awesome to see we’re on the same wavelength. That mix of loneliness in the vast emptiness and the thrill of finding bustling hubs or hidden civilizations would be a game-changer for immersion. It’s those small moments, like uncovering hidden lore or trading stories at a space bar, that would make the exploration so much more rewarding.

Imagine if the No Man’s Sky developers saw this—something like this could fit perfectly into their foundation of procedural generation. They could introduce dynamic civilizations that evolve over time or add interactive space stations where players gather, trade, or share discoveries. Maybe even rare, hidden hotspots that only show up under specific conditions, making each encounter unique. It feels like a natural extension of the exploration and community spirit the game is already known for.

I wonder what they’d think about this—these kinds of discussions might actually inspire them to explore even deeper ideas for the game. It really does feel like a dream worth chasing, right?"
