Let's Play No Man's Sky Pathfinder Update 1.2 - PC Gameplay Part 13 - Rethink
66INTRODUCING PATH FINDER (UPDATE 1.2)
The Path Finder update introduces planetary vehicles, base sharing, PS4 Pro support, ship/weapon specialisation, permadeath mode, and much more. It shows the path for the future.
OWN MULTIPLE SHIPS
Use the enormous hanger in your Freighter to purchase and store your own collection of starships.
This is even more meaningful with the introduction of ship specialisation, classes and the ability to trade in previous ships against new purchases
STARSHIP SPECIALISATIONS
Find and collect the perfect starship with new specialisations and classes.
Each starship has a specialisation (Shuttle, Fighter, Hauler or Explorer) that improves performance in specific areas.
Shuttles are all-rounders, Fighters specialise in combat, Haulers have expanded cargo holds and Science vessels feature increased warp capabilities
In addition to new ship types, all ships will now be class-rated: A, B, C or the ultra rare S class.
When purchasing a new ship, you’ll now be given the option to trade in your current ship for a discount.
NEW VEHICLES – EXOCRAFT
Master the surface of your home planet using new Exocraft. These land-based vehicles give new meaning to planetary navigation, combat and mining – and can be summoned from anywhere on the planet they were constructed upon.
The smallest Exocraft is the Nomad. What it may lack in cargo space, this hovercraft makes up for in speed, agility and its ability to glide over water
The mid-range Exocraft is the Roamer, a great all-rounder capable of quickly crossing rugged terrain and adapting to most situations
Finally, the Colossus is the largest of the Exocraft. This lumbering behemoth offers an enormous cargo hold perfect for those looking to harvest resources
Acquire Exocraft by hiring a Vy’keen Technician for your planetary base and completing a new series of missions
Mount powerful mining lasers and harvest resources with far greater efficiency
High-intensity long-range scanners aid the discovery of distant buildings, objects and resources
Equip weapons and eliminate threats with increased firepower
Boost your vehicle’s speed with the acceleration module
NEW SHOPS AND TRADERS
New traders have been added to space stations and bases, as well as a new currency
A valuable new currency called Nanite Clusters can be found in various locations including abandoned bases and cargo crates
Blueprint stock will refresh periodically, so check back from time to time to see if any new or rare blueprints have become available.
Traders aboard space stations will exchange Nanite Clusters for your choice of blueprints
Your standing with the three NPC factions is now more important, as traders will only sell the best technology to their closest allies
Your standing with a faction can be improved by offering relics and curiosities to their representatives, or through conversation choices
Seek out Vy’keen traders for Multi-tool technology, Gek for ship upgrades and the Korvax for Exosuit improvement blueprints
A new building trader will now visit your home base, and will sell new base constructs in exchange for credits
NEW WEAPON MODES
Both Multi-tool and ship weaponry can be upgraded for improved combat effectiveness
Three new weapons can be installed into Multi-tools alongside the existing Boltcaster weapon. Each weapon provides a unique combat style:
The Scatter Blaster is most effective in close range encounters, able to damage multiple foes at once
The Pulse Spitter is ideal for mid-range skirmishes, particularly against fast moving opponents
The Blaze Javelin is a long range weapon, capable of eliminating enemies from afar
New ship weaponry offers advanced tactical opportunities:
The Cyclotron Ballista fires a concentrated ball of charged particles at forward targets, causing heavy damage
The Positron Ejector shoots in a wide cone of destruction
The Infra-Knife Accelerator releases a sustained burst of rapid fire
