Yeah, NMS and ED are both fun. Though I have found after a while each game becomes “now what?” kinda thing. I have played other sandbox games but in those I struggle to find much purpose in doing anything.
Expanding factions could give long term purpose but it doesn’t really give you anything. Maybe if you got access to a factions finances a bit and could more directly control them, faction owned fleet super carriers kind of thing?

Yup, very much make your own activities games, but both continue to grow. NMS especially just keeps bashing out free updates (Best Ongoing Game again at this year’s The Game Awards) and has monthly or so expeditions for the new things if you need more direction. Corvettes went over well.

True, NMS is certainly doing better at adding new stuff

Has NMS been speeding up the pace of new updates too?
I swear I only played it a few years ago, but now I count 17 new updates after that

Think so ? I put these games down for a while and come back later, explore the new content, muck around for a while, and put them down again… Love 'em both, but not all the time.
