The third trailer for the four “pillars” on which No Man’s Sky rests has been released.
Exploration, combat, trade, and survival – These terms are emphasized in No Man’s Sky. For each aspect, Hello Games releases a short trailer to present to fans what to expect from release on August 10.
The already third trailer is now available. It focuses on trading in the space simulation:
Economy on a Galactic Scale
For your trade to thrive, you first need items to offer. The multi-tool serves to mine resources, allowing you to access treasures on the planets.
Throughout the gigantic galaxy, you will find elements that you need for the improvement of your tool, your ship, and your suit. If you come across a rich vein, you can exchange the surplus with traders. However, if you plunder a planet too much, you will have to deal with the Sentinels that want to maintain balance in the universe.
The galactic trade is especially lucrative when you bring the collected resources to planets where the respective element is rare or expensive. To trade successfully, you need to sell your goods for the best price and offer the best resources.
Trading with Aliens
Some planets are teeming with life – including intelligent life. You can trade with some of these alien inhabitants. However, business transactions can become complicated when there’s no common language.
By directly interacting with the races or mystical alien artifacts, you gradually learn the language. This makes communication easier and the aliens will gain trust in you. As a result, negotiations will also go more smoothly.
The following screenshot shows you the menu screen of No Man’s Sky, which can be seen in the trailer. Some people see similarities to the menu of Destiny here. Do you see it that way as well?
Here you can watch the trailers that have been released so far:
