No Man's Sky player adds starship racing to his planet
One of these recent creations was presented at No Man's Sky subreddit by Pleasant-Disaster837. Specifically, a Reddit user proposed what they called “Starship Races,” which allowed players to show off their piloting skills. As seen in the video, Pleasant-Disaster837 created a series of gates that players had to fly through as they raced around the planet. Passing checkpoints often required sharp turns and could be challenging when trying to set a fast time. “It's not as easy as it looks,” said a Reddit user when the tutorial was posted. To add to the fun, multiple starships can race at the same time as shown in the video.
No Man's Sky players enjoyed racing on the Pleasant-Disaster837 course. The Reddit post has received hundreds of upvotes so far, with many fans wondering how the course was built. According to the creator, camera glitches and multiple PS accounts were used to realize the creature. Glyphs were shared at the end of the video for those interested in trying out the build. Pleasant-Disaster837 noted that “a pretty consistent stream of players” have checked out the playground since its release. The creator even organized several three-wheel races. In the comments on Reddit, some fans talked about the track's positives, with one person saying it's “tight, technical, and rendered super fast.”
This player-created starship racing course has many fans who are hoping for an official feature to be added in the future. Interestingly, one user pointed this out No Man's Sky it actually had this feature in version 1.4 before it was subsequently removed. Unfortunately, its implementation was very limited at the time. However, it's possible that this feature could return, given Hello Games' commitment to adding new content No Man's Sky.
Players will have to wait and see if starship racing ever returns to the game in an official capacity. Still, it's nice that players have another option thanks to the diligence of Pleasant-Disaster837. It is worth noting that other players have shared impressive creations made in No Man's Sky in recent months. For example, incredible ship designs were introduced with last year's Voyagers update, which added new building tools for designing your own Corvette-class starships.
