Usually Inplay for a while after each #NoManSky Update, but this looks terrible for me.

People that like space fights will definitely cheer but for me it makes the game way less appealing.

Swarm Update - No Man's Sky

Confront a new threat to the universe in update 6.4, The Swarm. The Traveller soul is fragmented, and something terrible hangs in the sky. Battle swarms of elite agile ships, face off against the huge, formidable Hive of Glass, and strategise with other players to construct the technology to defeat it

@kaiserkiwi I'm skeptical as well. I want to play No Man's Sky as a chill exploration simulator. Even the pirate assaults or being targeted for items in your inventory are annoying and I try to avoid them.
@fskornia This. Often I avoid getting stuff I need because I don't want conflicts all the time. The world could be a bit less hostile for me.

@kaiserkiwi @fskornia you can turn space combat off in the difficulty settings though.

Other than that it reads to me that the swarm in space only happens in the current exploration event. You’ll just have some crashed swarm ships on dissonant planets in normal play mode and better space flight controls.

@kaiserkiwi I might be mistaken, but the actual patch notes seem to say that most of that's only for those that join the expedition – otherwise you just get a new type of crash site and the improved space combat controls. It doesn't really draw me in, but it also doesn't really discourage me either
