The “Breach” update in No Man’s Sky enhances Corvette gameplay by introducing new missions, salvageable wrecks, and interactive derelict freighter explorations, allowing players to craft and upgrade Corvette parts, including the unique Aeron set from the new expedition. While praised for adding depth and new experiences, the update also hints at future improvements like cooperative combat and docking features, encouraging community creativity and engagement.
The video discusses the latest “Breach” update in No Man’s Sky, which builds upon the earlier “Voyagers” update that introduced corvettes—large customizable ships players can design, build, and fly. While the Voyagers update allowed players to exit their ships in space, there was limited functionality for this feature. The Breach update addresses this by introducing new missions and experiences that enable players to find and craft a wide variety of new Corvette parts, including an exclusive Aeron set available through the new expedition. This marks the first time Corvette parts can be crafted after learning the recipes, signaling a potential new trend for future updates.
Two primary new methods to acquire Corvette parts are highlighted. The first involves locating wrecked Corvette hulls floating in space, which players can EVA (exit their ships) to and salvage parts from. These wrecks can be found by flying around or using an anomaly detector, although the latter is not guaranteed to find Corvette wrecks specifically. Salvaging these wrecks yields better parts than those typically purchased from stations, providing a more rewarding way to upgrade ships compared to hunting for rare salvage on planetary surfaces.
The second method focuses on derelict freighters, which have been in the game for some time but now offer a more interactive experience. Players can scan for these ships or find them randomly, then board and explore their interiors. Inside, players face cold environmental hazards, puzzles, and combat against hostile creatures. Progressing through the freighter reveals story elements and increasingly valuable loot, including rare Corvette parts at the end. This “space dungeon” experience adds depth and challenge, and while it can be done solo, it may be more enjoyable with friends.
Additionally, the new expedition introduces the Aeron set, which is unique in that players can craft these parts indefinitely once they obtain the blueprints, unlike other parts that must be found in the wild. The expedition encourages players to try out many new game features, such as entering black holes on foot and fishing, enhancing the overall gameplay experience. Players can transfer expedition-earned parts to their main saves via the Nexus, allowing for creative ship customization and new Corvette designs.
Overall, the video praises the Breach update as a fantastic enhancement to No Man’s Sky, especially regarding Corvette gameplay. However, the creator notes there is still room for improvement, such as adding turret systems for cooperative combat and docking ports for Corvettes on freighters. The potential for future updates to expand Corvette functionality is exciting, and the community is encouraged to share their unique ship designs.
