(Cut/pasted all the below stuff out of that other post to make it its own post.)
In semi-related news, apparently some new pirate update for No Man's Sky comes out soon, if it isn't already. Given that I don't care about the combat and I have no real interest in being a pirate or whatever, it's not something that enthuses me all that much. If anything, depending upon how pervasive this new content might be, it could serve to make me actively less interested in playing the game. On the other hand, I still have the game installed (though I haven't touched it at all since the last time I posted about it here), so I'll probably check it out, regardless. *shrug*
Maybe the new capes will make everything worthwhile, though. ¬_¬
(EDIT) Steam actually just started a new 7GB update for NMS almost as soon as I completed this post, as if on cue. (/EDIT)
(EDIT 2) Right, so, I loaded into my game from before, and, after calling in my freighter to get access to the storage containers so that I could repair all my shit, I went back to my settlement in the old galaxy (after first making sure I had a base with a teleporter in the new galaxy so I could get back later). Got attacked by Sentinels, as expected, since it has been a while. Dealt with those, as per usual.
Then, my settlement was attacked by pirate ships, which is a new thing. So I jumped into my ship and started fighting. Almost immediately, I encountered a pirate ship that had infinite shields, meaning it was unkillable. But that was okay, because it did absolutely nothing but fly in a straight line away from my settlement while I chased it and shot at it for 30 seconds or so. Off to a good start. (/EDIT 2)

Even with 10 separate storage containers you can get later, each with 20 slots, in addition to two types of personal exosuit storage, ship storage, freighter storage, etc. I still found myself running out of inventory space. Only now, at the very end game, when I've finally maxed out all my exosuit inventory slots in both the regular and high capacity tabs, do I feel like I have enough space to not have to worry about leaving shit behind. Oh, and they added high capacity cargo inventory to the ship in the latest update, as well, for what that's worth, which was something that probably should have been there from the start (like so much other stuff that should have been there from the start).
