i think the greatest draw to no mans sky is the ability to explore the universe and having an interstellar journy. but that raises the question about what types of things we will see that really exist in space.

 

ill start off with the more reasonable questions

1- will every planet be a "modified earth". by modified earth, i mean will every planet have similar charastricts to earth? water, solid land, the same atmosphere? will every planet feel like its "almost the same"? in reality there are planets that are just water, frozen planets, scolding hot planets, gas planets (for obvious reasons this would be useless gameplay wise). could we see a huge canyon like on mars? or is everything gonna be "earth like" for the most part?

2- will planets, moon and stars be stationary, or will they have orbits? will planets orbit stars? with there be moons to orbit planets? will the stars orbit the black hole we are supposed to reach?

or willl every planet stay in its same location, while nothing really orbits anything? also is there any word on planets having any moons?

3- if there is or no orbiting. will there be a day/night cycle? will all planets be lit all over its surface, or can i explore the dark side as well? 

4- can there be a planet with two suns? this is actually a reality and accurs in our universe. planets with two suns in its horizon, could we see such a thing in No Mans Sky?


1 - No.  There won't be gas giants, but there will be plenty of dead planets, toxic gas planets, ice planets, and whatever else.  Expect a lot of diversity.

2 & 3 - Not sure about orbiting.  I know there are night and day cycles so I assume there is some form of orbital mechanics.

4 - Yes.  It is incredibly rare, but they do happen in the game.

 

Any other questions?  I have been following this game crazy closely lately.
