7 Promises that No Man’s Sky Didn’t Deliver On

You Can’t Name Your Ships

Earlier this year, in an interview with Game Informer, Murray mentioned that ships were also considered discoveries, just like the plants and wildlife you would encounter during your travels. He also stated that you could discover a specific ship type, name it, and anyone else who came across that particular type of ship would be able to see what you’ve named it. As it turns out, this is not true at all.

In my 30 hours of playtime with No Man’s Sky, I have not discovered a way to rename my ship, or its type, and I certainly haven’t come across any player-named ships during my travels either.
