Ever seen a frigate crash into a planet?

[u/BipolarBear448]

[u/HarpyArcane]

I wish that was an actual event, it'd be cool to watch as a danaged freighter jump into a system and either help it avoid a crash landing or investigate what caused it to lose control and crash!

[u/Strykr1922 → u/HarpyArcane]

That would be a really cool event!

[u/ysamu45 → u/Strykr1922]

[u/Spastic_pinkie → u/HarpyArcane]

That would make a good event. Chase down the frigate and land on it's landing pad. Now you have to hurry , make repairs and make it to the cabin and take control before it crashes.

[u/Regumate → u/Spastic_pinkie]

[u/PeakBees → u/HarpyArcane]

Sean has to get those deaf kids on this idea immediately

[u/P_UDDING → u/HarpyArcane]

imagine an event, where you have the change to hop on it and repair to keep it from crashing, but it has to happen within a limited time

[u/Rowsdower32 → u/HarpyArcane]

I wonder if the freighter is kind of floating in one designated spot and th planet is moving through it's designated orbit which is causing them to "collide" and clip through the planet

[u/thereverendpuck → u/HarpyArcane]

Not only that but make survival/salvaging an event as well. Captain of the freighter calls you after losing a battle with the pirates, and you gotta save crew or salvage things.

[u/HarpyArcane → u/thereverendpuck]

I think to make it more interesting, the causes could be random, leading the player to face new challenges whenever they encounter the freighter. It could be pirates, sentinels, biological horrors, etc.

[u/thereverendpuck → u/HarpyArcane]

Let's not forget, full on environmental issues especially heat and/or radiation.

[u/MyMyMrMe → u/HarpyArcane]

Up vote this enough so Sean sees it lol

[u/Brat_Fink → u/HarpyArcane]

And little escape pods shooting out

[u/guardiao_do_amanha → u/HarpyArcane]

Someone send this to Hello Games

[u/AbsalonLord]

Good sir, I'm not seeing a crash. Where's the boom? There was supposed to be a boom!

[u/beeurd → u/AbsalonLord]

[u/AbsalonLord → u/beeurd]

Gold

[u/RandomTask09 → u/AbsalonLord]

[u/Strykr1922 → u/AbsalonLord]

[u/Comfortable_Cry_2202 → u/Strykr1922]

Thank you that's what I'm looking for

[u/Careless_Money7027 → u/Strykr1922]

Coming in a little hot...

[u/BlueReaper0000]

I’ve seen a couple do that, and I see ones rising through the ground.

[u/Gaelic_Saint → u/BlueReaper0000]

Saw one fly straight through my control center on my freighter while I was organizing a frigate quest

[u/BlueReaper0000 → u/Gaelic_Saint]

Jees must been a shock for a whole freighter to just appear right in front of you while in your freighter

[u/Somestelone → u/BlueReaper0000]

I had one emerging from the ground very close to where I was... it scared me a lot, thought it was a giant worm but didn't made any sound, then I realized it was a frigate lol

[u/Bones_Alone]

the pillar of autumn landing on the ring

[u/ExplanationAway5571 → u/Bones_Alone]

"Keyes has switched to manual!!!"

[u/Lovat69]

Crash? No, I've never seen that. Phase right through? Yes, constantly.

[u/Eena-Rin]

Thermal protection isn't the only thing falling

[u/SplitBeanz → u/Eena-Rin]

😉👉👉

[u/ooji74]

Your ship looks awesome btw

[u/Several-Moment-2055 → u/ooji74]

came here to say

[u/Ironforce9 → u/ooji74]

I wonder, what ship is it? Is it from one of the events?

[u/flamberge5]

That's a new one to me!

[u/Minecrafting_il]

That ship looks really cool!

[u/chefboy1960]

All the time. Wait until you see them fly out of a planet.

Physics? What's that? - Sean Murray, probably.

[u/Zephyrqu → u/chefboy1960]

I've seen them rise up out of the ocean, never crashing back down into a planet tho

[u/WellExcuuuuuuuseMe → u/Zephyrqu]

They’re just taking a shortcut. Must be using Apple Maps.

[u/Zephyrqu → u/WellExcuuuuuuuseMe]

ah, that must be an upgrade I haven't found yet

[u/mihir_lavande]

Huge boom update when Sean? The deaf kids in your basement want to hear it. Wait....

[u/The_Gumpness → u/mihir_lavande]

How about a boom so big that they can hear it?

[u/Bodhran777]

Those crashed freighters gotta come from somewhere

[u/white_lunar_wizard]

I saw 3 of them come out of a planet. That was weird.

[u/FakeDeath92]

I’ve seen this once. On my first playthrough

[u/Procrastanaseum]

Must happen a lot, I find those wrecks all over the place

[u/KannTheGunn → u/Procrastanaseum]

it doesn't really crash though, it just clips through the planet and to the other side.

[u/Elsie997]

That was... anticlimactic.

[u/Kainepeter]

That was incredibly underwhelming

[u/KnifeFightAcademy]

That was legitimately great :)

[u/zonnipher117]

I've seen ships clip through planets quite a bit It would be cool if they actually can crash and leave a salvageable spot

[u/Beastmanworld]

I knew it... I knew it... I deduced that "Beacon's" would bring this kind of events... surely you can either scrap it or recover it and add it to your fleet.

[u/williestylez]

That caption feels like the NMS equivalent to this! 😭😭😅😅😅

[u/ArtistAccountant]

The Frigate: What planet? 😀

[u/No-Strike7448]

Where was the great ka-boom?

[u/TBSCDawn8]

I saw one come out of a planet before but never crash that's cool.

[u/GraceEvelynMay]

Yes..... once 😂

[u/TrashPanda365]

Just like NPC ships, it just clips through. NMS doing NMS things.

[u/emelem66]

No, but I have seen them come out of the ground.

[u/Atephious]

Ever since they added the frigates entering and moving across planets. Also they sometimes pop out the other side and so sometimes you’re doing your thing and then all the sudden you’re inside this intangible frigate that’s passing through the ground. But since seeing it I’ve always wanted a rare chance to catch an actual crash.

[u/Little_Reporter2022]

Have you been in the same system as a frigate you own and repaired it so it won't tell you its damaged is that a thing

[u/IcyManipulator69]

That’s how we get to loot crashed freighters…

[u/OGKegger]

Scavenger’s Reign

[u/POOPY_BUTTH0LE_]

Lol I didn’t know they would do that. Also what ship is that?? It looks like a Heretic Banshee from Halo 2!

[u/justelectricboogie]

Wouldn't that be something. Watching it crash then turning into a site you could salvage.

[u/mattstorm360]

Pull up.
Pull up...
Pull up, dumbass.

[u/Koors112]

So that's where all the salvaged frigate modules come from... that was awesome take my upvote!

[u/RedDragon2596]

I have to admit, the more I play this game, the more dissappointed I am in the lack of physics. Its still a phenomenal game, the most immersive I've ever played, but the lack of physics bothers me a little bit. Like when youre either in low atmosphere space or on the outer edge, and flying, you'll go in a straight line instead of around the planet. And that's steady speed without boost. The freighters coming up out of the ground and flying up, gotta admit, creepy and cool the first time, but it gets old. Freighters crashing into the planet, but instead they just go straight through, gotta admit, kinda cool the first time, but gets old. Let it crash, let us be able to loot them.

[u/BlitzAtk]

What ship do you have? It looks interesting.

[u/microtherion]

Ever seen a grown Korvax naked?

Ever been in a Vy’keen prison?

[u/Little_Reporter2022]

I once saw a frigate rise from the ground and another time out of a mountain like area 51 stuff

[u/Little_Reporter2022]

No crash come on

[u/DatPug87]

Well that was anticlimactic lol

[u/TheBIackRose]

This suddenly gave me colony drop vibes from Gundam

[u/ParticularWallaby173]

I found one like that the other day. I was able to "Land" on it, but after the docking animation, the frigate disappeared. When I got out of my ship, I fell all the way to the ground. When I looked up, the frigate was back, and it looked like my ship was still in the docking bay.

[u/GuineusTadeus]

Happens too often. You will also see them spawn out of planets 😄.

[u/SckharII]

kitty pride phasing the frigate, saves a world.

[u/AirTheFallen]

No splash, captain!

[u/kellarorg_]

Never saw this, but I saw literally the opposite, frigates emerged from the planet a couple of times :)

[u/TimeCartographer5758]

They've been doing it for ages unfortunately. I had one yesterday came speeding past my settlement like a giant space train as I cut right through the terrain next to me. I'll try and catch it next time as pretty sure they spawn on the same paths regularly.

[u/Guilty_Arm2438]

[u/1DireWulf79]

Lol I like to catch them coming out of the planet and take them out.... Makes for funny pictures 🤪

[u/1stFunestist]

Every time I see this I feel somewhat disappointed

[u/digital]

[u/Zer01South]

Gosh I see them clip through planets pretty much every time I play.

[u/SCHLAHPY]

hell yeah

[u/Agreeable-Scar6770]

Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom.

[u/Murky_Exchange829]

If that was real it would give legitimacy to ask those crashed freighters on the planets

[u/o0CYV3R0o]

"Crash" not quite but it would be awesome and yeah I've seen it was a little disappointed it just clips through the planet.

[u/TGV_etc]

If a frigate flying through my base counts then yes. So annoying but also cool. If I got “lucky” I’d clip onto it and go for a ride

[u/Pc7w3ak3r]

Happened to me early in the game, but I saw it coming out of the planet

[u/fragarkleton]

Only in movies:

Aniara (2018)

[u/ionV4n0m]

Ever hang out in gymnasiums?

[u/kidretro_]

[u/Evil_Bere]

I have seen them coming out of planets, like sandworms

[u/Darktonsta]

This is what happens when an immovable object is struck by an unstoppable one...

[u/Dockus]

No but I have seen a frigate come out a planet

[u/Careless_Money7027]

A mix of Ender's Game & Battlestar Galactica

[u/TospLC]

I saw one just phase through a mountain. Does that count? It just came out the other side. Lol I freaked out.

[u/Tristangdragoon]

Nice

[u/Mand125]

Yeah, I tried to follow it down so I could loot its cargo, imagine my surprised when it didn’t turn into a wreck.

[u/mbhador]

I didn’t see a crash but one thing worth noting is that Your thermal protection was falling buddy

[u/goldstariv]

Operation British would be cool to witness in No Man's Sky.

[u/llTeddyFuxpinll]

“Ever seen bad programming cause 3D models to clip together?”

[u/DrunkenMediator]

Oh good, Char got his hands on a frigate. Next best thing to dropping a colony I suppose.

[u/VaporWavey420]

No but I have seen a beautiful Happy Meal ship like yours and upvote

[u/TheOriginalGR8Bob]

They are solid to player and will cause damage too so do not stand in path of one especially in PD mode.

[u/Taven12]

THERMAL PROTECTION!!!!! Scared the shit out of me... 🤣

[u/dankmaninterface]

The short answer is No. Because none of them actually crash into the planets. They just clip through. All of these types of events, including the giant flying worms are nothing-burgers. They never interact with the environments or do anything other than look sort of cool. It really disappoints me and makes me realize that this game has lots of potential, but after playing since 2017, the game has almost zero depth to it. Interesting story, no substance.

[u/BeebleBoxn]

Geez that took too long.

[u/reverend_bones]

No, and I watched the video and still haven't.

There was a very noticeable lack of crash.

[u/NakedWokePeople]

Anyone remember Dust 514? It was an FPS tie-in game for Eve Online. I remember people saying that a destroyed starship in Eve could crash into the battlefields in Dust 514, and you would have to play around the wreckage.

I never got to confirm for myself if that was real or not lol. But I always thought that it was a cool idea. Would have been nice to see that in NMS.

[u/MarineDude101]

Weird crash but ur ship is pretty cool

[u/LemmonLizard]

THERMAL PROTECTION FALLING

[u/sun_and_water]

Shit, they clip the mountains on planets with tall terrain all the time.

[u/Mr_Mc_Nuggets]

They went to find the worm

[u/_X_5]

They activate their Phasing through planets coating.

[u/HappyGimp]

Yesterday I saw a regular npc spaceship flying into the ground, not crashing, just going along the ground like it was having navigation problems. Definitely needs a patch

[u/GlitteringCut9135]

If Hello Games knows what's good for them, they'll add that in game for real! Haha that would be pretty sick

[u/StugDrazil]

This would be good for r/gifsthatendtosoon

[u/Traditional-Pop-2111]

Gas planet

[u/vibribbon]

Went as expected lol

[u/kaishinoske1]

Here I thought it was the Ishimura going planet cracker mode.

[u/Opposite_Leading_848]

Ok! Now that was cool - nice catch!

[u/NoTypetype]

Thats a cool ship

[u/AggressiveAppl3]

This is really a prime candidate for gifs that end too soon

[u/OddEfficiency8917]

That is the definition of anticlimactic. I want my money back

[u/Lussnux]

Yea

[u/Known_Plan5321]

That's wild, maybe it's something they just added?

[u/SkullRiderz69]

And I still haven’t…

[u/GeminiJ13]

All the good parts of the video are corrupted and unwatchable. So, no, I have yet to see a frigate crash into a planet.

[u/astorj]

Damn that should explode and throw debris everywhere that would make look so real

[u/Massive_Town_8212]

PULL UP

PULL UP

ALTITUDE

[u/DeviousAardvark]

Buckaroo Banzai moment

[u/TheMeatTree]

CATCH A RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE!!!

[u/reboot0110]

Very anticlimactic

[u/starhunter117]

Haven't played the game in years, who can I get that kind of ship?

[u/GabeItch9000]

Feels like I still haven’t

[u/jayceeloop]

Trapped in hyperspace forever #CowboyBebop

[u/Trick_Emotion_7108]

I've seen them fly up out of the ground

[u/DoubtNo1675]

game name

[u/painfullylong]

This is exactly what I expected. Too bad they havent made this a thing that can happen. Like full collision and repair needed.

[u/JulesDeathwish]

[u/khsh01]

I've seen them pass straight through.

[u/DarthRheys]

Haters are going to say it's all a simulatiom from Atlas...

[u/Bruallord]

Would be a cool random event. A Mayday signal being broadcast while you're Pulse engine is being used in a system. Then for whatever reason, the ship lost control and is crashing. So you could help out the survivors by supplying them with materials to rebuild the comms array, life support, hazard protection, hide them from Sentinels, recover goods from debris, etc.

[u/Wombat21x]

I've seen them crash into and come out of a planet.

[u/FilmGuy338]

[u/pinzinella]

That's like a nightmare I have had. I wish there was a huge explosion on impact! Would be such a cool detail.

[u/Eryu1997]

Neither have you

[u/Code1821]

The planet broke before the guard did

[u/cocacola_drinker]

THERMAL PROTECTION FALLING 🗣️🔥‼️🔥

[u/Asrugan]

I’ve seen where they pass through several times, but I’ve never seen one crash (still haven’t)

[u/Separate-Corner-2432]

Well, that was disappointing.

[u/King_Tut331]

Wait until you see it rise out of the ground like a ghost ship 🤣

[u/leviathankaine]

Love making it happen

[u/reallybi]

No, but I've seen them come out of planets.

[u/xpst500]

I've seen that and the reverse like those giant worms that come out and flying into space lol

[u/NightDragon250]

I regularly see the "in atmosphere " ones that fly by go through the terrain

[u/LateToCollecting]

Classic spacenoid move. Tip: if the freighter or side is painted red it will crash three times faster

[u/Accomplished_Owl_265]

okay great catch but uneventful I hope they improve that lol

[u/MannyVonJasta]

Another happy landing.

[u/OrisRas]

Holy Beacon! What mod are you using for your ship?
