Even as someone who generally had a good time with the game then, I had to admit that it was missing promised features and lacked polish. Over a year later, a lot of things have changed for the game, and all for the better. Even though Ive always liked it, this is the first time Id say that No Mans Sky is an actual good game. I frequently enjoy things that arent good, like the CWs Riverdale or Fall Out Boys music. The things that I like about them arent necessarily on purpose, and are maybe a little corny, but I find value in them.

For a long time, No Mans Sky fell into that category for me. It wasnt delivering on the vision it promised, of unfettered exploration and discovery. It was a bit repetitive, and I felt like Id discover more things I couldnt do than things I could. Want to make a home on a planet Well, you cant build bases. Want to become an expert dogfigher Not enough information in the heads up display to make it work. Id go to a planet, scan for resources, discover some species, and hope that something interesting would happen before getting bored and leaving. Compared to the now infamous E3 demo, this was unremarkable, but it was really perfect for getting your buzz on and listening to podcasts. I played the vanilla No Mans Sky for a long time, but the shine did wear off, I ran out of podcasts, and I moved on. Returning to the game doesnt feel wholly alien, but the changes are significant and important. This really struck me when I finally got in a dogfight in space. At launch, all aerial combat sucked. Whenever I jumped into space and got an alert that pirates were attacking my ship, I always resigned myself to death. Ships didnt handle very well, which made aiming any weapons with the reticule and avoiding enemy fire feel impossible. Since the most recent patch, dubbed Atlas Rising, I had noticed that flight controls were more sensitive, and I could fly closer to the ground on planets. In space, when it came time to fight, I learned suddenly that I could roll right and left, that my turning radius was sharper, and when I had an enemy ship in my sights, the camera would zoom in slightly, and the ship I was aiming at would be highlighted. These are small, quality of life changes, but last night was also the first time I was able to destroy an enemy ship. Finally, combat didnt feel like a slog. Theres also a lot of new contentlike base building, vehicles and joint explorationbut what makes a difference to me is that the core features have polish. The changes to the scanner makes discovery not only more interesting, but more profitable, as scanning animals automatically adds credits to your account. You could always play as a pacifistic explorer, but now its less grindy and more profitable. Base building has also added farming, making trade among NPCs an actual viable tactic for making money, and giving players a chance to settle into a planet they like and stay there. The changes to how planets and animals are generated make space feel more mysterious and exciting. Theres new biomes, some of which are shockingly beautiful, and on those planets more variation in abandoned buildings or ruins or crashed freighters you can find exploring planets. Youre no longer resigned to walking around and hoping you find something, either. You can now build signal boosters, which will point you in the direction of an interesting close landmark. Thats how I found my first crashed freighter, half buried in the ground. Against my will, I found myself sighing, wow, when I saw it. The user interface has even changed in ways that make the game easier to playall items stack now, when previously they did not, and ships have multiple menu screens for different kinds of resources. These minor retools help me find game features that have been there since launch that I had never encountered. When I landed on a planet with incessant acid rain last night, the game told me right away I could craft an add on for my exosuit to protect me from it. You could always do that, but I never felt invested enough previously to explore such a hazardous planet. Every complaint, major and minor, had been addressed. When I played No Mans Sky at launch, my reaction was often, oh, well, thats it Now its, Wow, I didnt know I could do that. Portals, which can send you to specific coordinates once you learn the glyphs to turn them on, also allows players to visit specific landmarks and areas of interest. Combining that with joint exploration, a basic multiplayer which allows you to speak to other players, the game now fosters community instead of forcing players apart. The people who stuck with No Mans Sky always found ways to play with each other. The Galactic Hub was created as a way to bring players together and share discoveries. Portals make what was once complicate much easier. You dont have to jump through hoops or make complicated maps to find what other players have foundyou can just go there, and then talk with other players about things youve all experienced. No Mans Sky has always been a good idea. Exploring a vast universe and discovering the unknown was a good enough hook that hundreds of thousands of people gave it a try. Now the game has graduated from a good idea to an actual good game. Its not just that theres more content and more things to do. The game has been re tooled, from the user interfaces to the dogfighting to working Portals, in order to improve players ability to discover interesting things, and allow them to actually feel a part of the worlds they inhabit. If you havent played since launch, pick it back up. If you were turned off by bad reviews, its time to give it a try. David Heys steam diesel photo collection 3.

Left This photo of Geoff Burch at a recent talk and presentation at the Railway Enthusiasts Club at Farnborough was kindly taken by Ian Barefoot, the clubs publicity officer, who writes The social history of those involved in the operation of Britains railways particularly at the sharp end are rarely told but always fascinating. It was with great pleasure therefore that the Railway Enthusiasts Club at Farnborough link hosted a presentation by Geoff Burch, a former railwayman with British Rail Southern Region based at Guildford shed. For nearly two hours Geoff talked about his reminiscences of life at Guildford Locomotive Shed a period which spanned the late 1. Guildford in 1. 96. Geoffs interest in railways started in his school days his classroom backed on to the main line and like many of his fellow classmates he became an avid train spotter, much to the despair of teachers when lessons were interrupted by boys making a dash for the windows to watch a train pass Geoff later responded to a British Railways job advert and, at the age of fifteen, started work as an engine cleaner at Guildford, gradually making his way up to the position of fireman. Geoffs presentation was full of anecdotes interesting not only for the locos and locations involved but because of the involvement of his work colleagues, bringing a realisation that work of this nature is very much a team effort. Whilst Geoffs presentation concentrated on the steam age, his career on the railway extended far beyond the demise of steam when he became Assistant Operations Safety Training Manager based at South West Trains Operations Training Centre, Basingstoke. Following retirement in 2. Geoff is now available to give a talk and presentation to your group, and can be contacted via telephone 0. His email address ramblingrailwaymangmail.
