BeHOLD!!!! I have the answer. First, I shall write several pages of needless backstory, so skip to the bottom if you don't care... now... let us begin this adventure with a trip to the virtual natural history museum of Nico the Magnifico's life incarnate as myself in real timespace. If you get to the exhibit on Nickelodeon cartoons you've gone too far, and if you get the exhibit labeled Tunami, you've definitely gone too far, but maybe it will be worth your time to enjoy some of those Cartoon Network exhibits if you ended up there before going directly to the year 2016 when No Man's Sky Was first released.
Now... that was coincidentally around the time that I completed my civil service to universal civilization by serving for an enlistment in the military defending humanity and all civilized peoples against all that would threaten our happiness and cooperation with greater and greater technology. It is true I did so in the USA, but that is irrelevant to my reason why. Any civilization needs active, trained, and skilled warriors at all times to be prepared against whatever can be imagined as a threat. Obviously we shouldn't be killing other civilized peoples with military conflict due to the single agreement we all have deep at the beginning of our respective civilization that was the very purpose of cooperating, no matter the species, but over the tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, of thousands of years, that has been lost to our conscious understanding and we find reasons to imagine our distant and unknown neighbors as the embodiment of those threats, but that is impossible, because otherwise they would not be able to called a "neighbor". They would be like... the lion of wilderness, not the neighbor of a foreign nation that remains threatened by lions of the wilderness from time to time, however infrequently that may be nowadays. I know this second-hand by a tale I was told by a man from Zimbabwe who single handedly wrestled a lion with his bare hands and made it into a docile housecat when it threatened his village when he was a young man before enlisting in the USA Navy and even before he earned USA citizenship by working as a commercial truck driver while supporting his family.
You will have to accept my word for it, because for obvious reasons a domesticated lion could not pass through customs along with human beings and it stayed protecting the village in Zimbabwe where he was from when he moved to the USA for whatever reason he never mentioned and I never asked. Actually, I think he did so to send money back. That's not the point. The point is, civilized people can resolve any differences that would result in physical violence by using communication, even if that communication needs to be learned because it is a strange and foreign tongue. At the very least there are universal symbols of the natural environment that can be used to communicate like... fire, food, water, cute girls, and golden waffles fresh from the iron.
In case you are reading this without ever playing No Man's Sky or still haven't logged in, then you know that at times there are threats that need to be answered by deadly violence, such as-- aberrant monstrosities and horrors from mutations that went horribly wrong, wild and dangerous beasts of alien worlds behaving naturally like a lion in the wilderness when you come across its territory with an inflated ego that demands evisceration and mauling, soulless robots killing anything without making their purposes known or communicating their reasons, and occasionally a lawless pirate who threatens civilization by choice and is rewarded with glorious battle until they are destroyed by the overwhelming number of people who answer bounties and distress calls to get rid of them for a very similar reason minus the lawlessness and crime. It's clear which ones are the pirates and which ones aren't when you examine the reasons of violence for both parties, and there is no reason to be pirate in No Man's Sky except personal enjoyment, which is not a good enough reason to be threatening people's lives and livelihood in real life without civilized proceedings happening first, like a court of law or ingenious business strategies that have few alternatives (in which case the threatening business should go above and beyond to extend good will and encouragement to their rivals and new blood so they can continue to spur each other to greater heights over time in accordance with civilized laws and agreement.
Feel free to stop at any time and take a break. These are words, and they are not going anywhere, nor tiring themselves out to repeat the same thing over and over again, nor are the influenced by the presence of the sentient being who can communicate with natural elements, like Gek can with scent to enhance their linguistics. Pure, non-living, non-bodily, non-natural words that are entire a product of civilization as technology, and not evolution which enabled rational thinking to begin civil cooperation with everyone's cooperation for basic needs we all have for survival due to the lack of other evolved means of acquiring those basic needs the way lions and blue whales have. If we were large enough to scoop an entire flock of birds out of the air and into our mouths while running by, that would perhaps be enough reason to be content with our natural blessings without being in want that would result in conflict will all other life, like the turtle or spider. We might be threatened by giant squid or rampaging hippos, but those threats can be avoided by nimble maneuvers and predicted with sensory awareness like is always important for all life.
Anyway... what was I supposed to be saying? The point is... when I got out of the military with no particular enemy in mind to fight except an "imagined terror" that is never going away and does not need a war to threaten it because there is no hope of ever eliminating the imagination's ability to imagine new threats without being the threat itself by doing away with the imagination, which would end civilization itself because it would be too boring to cooperate for. This is why it is fun to play like a pirate with your imagination in harmless games of make believe. If those games did not exist, eventually someone would be bored and play in real life like a pirate, and kill people for their amusement, and to prevent people from doing that, they found a way to entertain themselves in their free time by playing the first game that was ever invented on a device known as "a taro", which is a type of potato that is passed back and forth skillfully without using your most efficient means of doing so-- the hands. It is not only amusing to oneself to become skillful, but also amusing to see how silly it looks when other people attempt to do something skillful in such an unskilled way on purpose. Some people find ways to use their heads, knees, feet, elbows, and there are legends that tell of a woman once using a man's [redacted] before he even realized what she was doing. That may result in laughter, imagined glory, and determination for self-improvement, all of which are alternatives to physical violence.
The most important, unrelated point is this: games are sacred and necessary to civilization's peace and prosperity and cannot be tampered with by propaganda, cheating, or outside interferance beyond the known limits and confines of the games rules. If a secret group is manipulating an AI's behavior while pretending to be that AI, even though they are painfully obvious by natural sensory perception of human beings which can notice and perceive them consciously in a way very similar to a dog's scent or a cat's hearing. Not everyone may notice them, but most people probably can without having a way to explain it because of how unusual it is to rely on that sense to identify one another when it is civilized to identify all participants in a game's cooperative activity for entertainment. There should be no people pretending to be "gods" or "goddesses" outside the context of the story or known limits of the game. How else would you report bullying, and what else would you call their hostile interference when they cannot possibly know your reasons for personal in game actions that are totally lawful within the context of fair play, and then judge you for those reasons as if you were some evil being, inferior to their perception of sight. We cannot see them, but they think they cannot be known to be there by our sense of consciousness, but too can be proven with science which has already proven that to be an existing human faculty of sensory perception. It's also common sense because pseudo religious groups have tried to play at being "gods" and "goddesses" to exploit communities of people while hiding behind masks, costumes, and sometimes hiding entirely from sight as if in pure darkness.
They are exposed one way or another and suffer severe consequences every time, the worst being their humiliation before the very people they were fooling, who have been unconsciously using that very same sense of perception to commune with divine reality which transcends all human and anthropomorphic beings as a conceptual and imagined reality that assures us eternally as the ultimate victory of the eternal threat of terror that is really no different than the dark for a child when they go to sleep. It is natural to be afraid of the dark like that, but you have to overcome that fear to be civilized, and you do so by understanding that you are safe before you fall asleep, even if it takes a little bit of help with a night light or something else you believe will protect you because you can see or feel it. Ultimately though... if that threat was real, there is nothing that can save you from it. Yet, you are safe from it, so we know that evil of that sort is not real and only imagined, while the goodness of what makes us all happy, cooperative, and civilized is in fact real and imagined. Make sense? No religion is necessary, but that is like a tool people use to help enjoy that goodness in various ways, and sometimes people, like bad businessmen and scammers, exploit their understanding of that spiritual "technology" to take money, food, or other crude things they would be better served by asking for or doing honest labor to earn.
In case you want help to understand this basic and universally understood common sense with religious context, the very same problem of "interlopers" recently invading our video games with a false sense about divine perception that are obviously lying about or they would never be doing such a foolish thing, you will find a story in Torah, otherwise known as the Hebrew Scriptures or Old Testament, called "Bel and the Dragon" in the Book of Daniel. Basically, Daniel is a wandering prophet of true faith doing good and being good everywhere he goes like any protagonist in a story or real life does, and one day he happens across a village being exploited by a bas cult that uses a dragon statue as an object of worship to frighten them with so they can steal for themselves what those people are giving to the dragon so they aren't eaten or incinerated (more or less). Daniel knows better, because the reality that is both real and imagined is truly good, and would never threaten people like that for what is needed, but also has no need for such things! It's conceptually all powerful!
You don't need to worry about providing anything for that real and imagined truth. Do not be too mystified by this, because that can be reasonably explained with logic and philosophy instead of sensed without explanation being necessary, but that is a much more rigorous labor you are not expected to be able to do for yourself, especially not if you are a child, which is why grown men like me will go out of our way to protect children from being threatened by such an imposter pretending to be evil without realizing how they are actually threatening all of civilization and nature by doing so. They are truly fools who think they know what they are doing, but they haven't the faintest idea or they would have done anything else than resort to that for survival or entertainment.
In any case, Daniel knows immediately what is happening when he takes one look at the situation and sees on the surface what is happening with what people say about what they believe, what they say about what is happening, and what the priests of the cult are doing. If you are half as good as Daniel, you will even be able to know the priests are doing something evil just by taking one look at their face at any time, but that is only half as good because that kind of knowledge requires proof due to how easily such perception can be exploited by people who lie about what they see, think, or feel. Proof is something very much like the written words I am writing here. It is virtually permanent and does not decay like natural life, nor require the biological animation of a living body, but is essentially the thoughts and feelings of a real life human being with a natural and biological body in real life, and present at all times with the words, even if I am long dead and these words are still being read after. They will still be inspired with the living presence as I write in the present moment. Ah timespace... the possibilities with the imagination are truly limitless in the potential good that can be accomplished for oneself and others apart from oneself, especially when woven into a lovely storified thoughtamajigthing. Idea. Idea? .... Idea, A really big and complicated idea, but a very old idea that everyone already knows unconsciously because it is so difficult to explain. That's what makes people like Daniel and myself special for how good we are, why, and what we do with our goodness. It's not easy to be this good. It takes a lifetime of hard work, and it's never too late to start because... timespace is reasonably imagined differently by all individual beings.
In short, Daniel does some cleverness to expose the cult priests as not the dragon by spreading some flour on the ground that records their footprints, like normal system logs that are stored in computer applications of all kinds, and people see that they go from the dragon's place that is supposed to be empty at all times, go to offering basket, and then go back to the dragon's place. Those aren't the footprints of a dragon! Those are human feet! Still, a fuss is made about it and... Daniel made some cakes which he fed to the statue and it exploded to prove it was just a statue and not a real dragon. At that point, everyone already knows what is happening and if they want more, it is typically because they are enjoying as spectators, and in my opinion, that is what the cakes are. They are Daniel's superiority to entertain people about their fears, lives, and everything with wise teaching that is applicable at all times, and people find that better than being afraid of a mean dragon cult that steals from them and bullies people to try and make them afraid of the "dragon's wrath". It is not an evil imagined wrath people should be afraid of, because that evil is not real and is only imagined, if you recall.
You should however be afraid of the good awesome power that is imagined and real, and thank goodness that is good! Am I right? Eternally good. Better than any of us can even imagine. That can forgive us with abundant mercy for anything, even things we cannot possibly imagine a way to forgive for ourselves. We can imagine that there is something that can imagine that for itself though, and that is one of the ways to conceptualize and know this basic truth of reality that is the source of all religion. If that is not the source, then it isn't a religion, it is a scam cult like the dragon one in the story, but it doesn't need specific clothing or history to tell about it. It doesn't even need human beings to be known. Civilization is necessary however, because we didn't learn to perceive what distinguishes that real and imagined goodness from nature until we had to learn to go to sleep in the dark without being afraid because people have to work in the morning and need to get enough sleep or they will be cranky.
All these people are good because they also know that, even if they don't understand how to explain it. It's why we work and wait our turn and obey the laws, and don't just take whatever we want from the grocery store when we are hungry. We pay for it even if we can't afford everything we want, and if we can't that's a problem that we have to be patient for and tell the king who enforces the law with his legates so he can find a way to ensure we get enough money if we have very little and that people aren't hogging all the money if they have very much. It's complicated which is why kings are special and their court nobles are important, because paper used to be expensive and teachers more expensive. That's not the case now, because paper is fairly inexpensive and we can read words on a computer made far more efficiently with the resources necessary than ink and paper in the olde dayes of yore.
Now most people can understand that stuff for ourselves and it isn't too difficult either because it is really old knowledge from timeless ideas that will never change because they are essential to civilization itself. You can understand that stuff usually by a high school education unless you live in the USA which has possibly one of the worst education systems by omitting that topic from their instruction on purpose so people could be tricked, betrayed, and then stolen from by people who pretend to be "God" in the government and behind the government in secret by hiding entirely in darkness like they are always found to be doing when they try that foolishness by owning the paper pushers who write down legal matters like slaves.
It is a betrayal because the universal agreement in the USA is that we all know that, help each other know that, and cooperate equally as citizens with a right to vote, and we don't have to listen to a king just because he said so and is the king. In the old days, the king had to actually be intelligent, wise, and strong, and couldn't just be elected, born, or like anybody else, and that's the very reason why they became king and were loved as king. When people began to exploit that trust to betray people in the place of a king, kings became citizens and now we vote for government leaders who are not kings but do our work instead. I am an official, legitimate king, by the way, both by ancestors I didn't know were the origin of my name, and by my being good, wise, intelligent, and strong enough to save everyone from a threat that would have killed everyone if I didn't. You'll probably understand that later if you are living in the present with me, but in the future you probably already know that, didn't believe it, wanted to find the truth for yourself, and find yourself reading this right now. ;) from the past.
Anyway, they betrayed me by what they did after I finished service in the military, and with no other choice I forgave them for that betrayal concluding that the USA was already supplanted by a foreign nation who invaded and was changing the laws here until they were destroyed by other foreign nations who know better than to tolerate that kind of threat to themselves by seeing what happened to a neighbor, and they betrayed me again on an even deeper and unimaginably evil level than the first time. Now I will not ever vote again. That power is mine, and mine alone, and I'm not going to tell the government what they need to do or help them, even though I know that job best by being able to explain matters like this which they are deeply involved in as the enemy to all of civilization without realizing that a torch and pitchfork mob is a real threat to people like them when they do that very thing. But if that doesn't happen first, then a legitimate war will. Either way, I'm prepared for either and intend to be supportive of whoever is good and fighting for justice now that it is provably a fact that the USA government is evil and cannot enforce justice as a result.
Don't worry if you don't understand all that. All that you need concern yourself with is being good to the best of your ability, and be ready for anything to happen. Nuclear war, Nazi death camps, air strikes, invading armies, propaganda, people being taken away for speaking out against injustice like I have been-- twice-- and escaped twice too as you can see by me writing these words now after their recent failed attempt to... essentially murder me. That's their intention, but they don't know how to do that because of all the policies and laws of civilization that are designed to prevent things like murder from happening, and the USA itself existing to prevent that very same kind of murder from happening when a government murders a citizen who is a witness to the crime of treason that a president committed and he proved the guilt of in a public forum (online).
The fact that you may not even know that by now is all the further proof you need beyond not only a reasonable doubt, but the most common sense for your own survival as an individual against evil, uncivilized people who descended to the level of a wild animal and are no longer technically "people" with a personality. They are beasts who kill for their own territorial aggression and violent urges because they can't control their anger enough to not kill people when they are mad. Sad really... I guess they find it easy to do so because they do it in hiding in their jobs with papers they lie about, abuse their occupational authority to mismanage information, and are generally crooked, corrupt [redacted].
People like that are not intelligent, so don't worry. If you know enough to know that killing an innocent person is wrong and against the law no matter who you are, then you are smarter than the highest possible level of intelligence or knowledge those idiots could ever attain in their wildest dreams and imagination, and certainly not real life. There are all manner of ways they can be exposed, and it is so easy for someone like me to do, that I have managed to make it into a business opportunity for myself, research opportunity, entertainment for everyone, and a permanent record for all people to learn from all at the same time while they were committing the very crime they thought they could get away with. I did so poor, without pants on, and alone as the friendless, loser social reject with a mental disability that I am, playing video games all day, drinking beer, and collecting cans out of garbage to turn in for a recycling deposit. They had every other weapon and power to use for themselves and could figure out how to use any of it against me when all they had to do was pull a trigger like any common criminal can figure out how to do for themselves when they don't know anything else.
It's sad to think that a person like that became the president of a nation with such an intellectually rigorous government as a Democracy that espouses Freedom, but see for yourself. You do not need to believe or understand anything, because it is quite obvious to plain sight, and you don't need to listen to what anyone says about it if you can see that much. Why did you listen to me? Doesn't that make you mad enough to want to see that traitor executed lawfully for the crime of treason as it is written by law as the appropriate punishment like I do? Doesn't that sound entertaining, helpful, and good to make everything better? We kill bad guys like that in video games all the time, and this time there is someone as bad as someone in a video game or movie, except in real life, and he was the president. I personally do not see anything wrong with that person facing the consequences like something you would see in a movie or video game after doing some so monstrously evil as trying to have me killed without leaving any evidence when he was the president, and all because he wanted to steal my idea for a religion about storytelling that he didn't even understand or recognize how it could be used even when the instructions clearly stated it was incompatible with evil.
However, it is most certainly compatible with limitless potential for good, and that's why I have such inordinately overwhelming power compared to his powerlessness with all the world available as his personal resources. I can't afford an attorney, or use common email because that is blocked, intercepted, and modified. I can post online because that is not my individual account, but is something else that people want to protect, like "Steam" here, which I have been using since Half-Life 2 was released way back when...
Anyway, I played No Man's Sky when it first released and haven't played it much since then up until about a year ago for a little bit and again now with season 16 when I read the announcement. It is a vastly different game from what it was when it was first released. It's not a problem to me, but something about season 16 reminded me of that... darker sense of an ominous power that was both enticing to seek out and incomprehensibly mysterious. By the time I got there, I think I ended up at the furthest end of the universe and nowhere close to the galactic core before I realized that was the goal. I was satisfied nonetheless, because games like this do not have "goals" in the sense where you get there and it is done. Don't you want to keep exploring, finding new planets, seeing more amazing, fantastical stuff, and building technology with resources your harvest? So satisfyingly fun, in my opinion, and it was the first game I allowed myself to play as immersively as the gamer I was as a child before I joined the military and spent very little time playing any video games at all while I worked hard at my job, and at home to be a good writer for fantasy fiction.
Turns out all that hard work is good for saving the world from an evil tyrant using cyberwarfare technology and computer software to try and make everyone worship him as some false idol of a god like the dragon statue was being used in the old days by charlatans and fools too arrogant to realize their mistake. "Just because you can imagine the good truth about reality that is both real and imagined, does not mean you are that good truth." Why does anyone need that pointed out to them? Why would anyone believe that anyway? I don't have those answers, but I expect a mental health professional will be able to sum it up with a neat and concise diagnosis for the criminally insane.
FINALLY!!! I get to the point that I looked up this post to answer it because I had the same concern. WTF is the [redacted] hyperdrive!? How do I get that again so I can traverse the galaxy with a sense of direction and intended purpose instead of randomly hopping into bizarre portals hoping one of them will lead me to an "infested" planet and I can complete the milestone achievement and hopefully then get the hyperdrive to continue exploring with more purpose. I have been searching for one of those planets through.... too many systems, and that should be more direct considering how linear they made the game to be. I'd be more concerned if it was a permanent thing, but this only a two-week event as far as I know, and I find it fun. The restriction of freedom is offset by the environment protection the anomaly protection which is useful for all environment hazards.
Things have been great until those [redacted] who are working for the government either hired directly or being paid by contract and their anonymity protected with military power to do violence keeping people out of their workplace who want to pull the plug on their evil scheme to steal our information, money, and bully people for the personal amusement of evil tyrants who don't understand how much fun it is to play a video game, so much so that they would never dream of amusing themselves with such crude and uncivilized evil. Idiots, uncultured, buffoons, and that's exactly why they are the richest people in the world right now. They do not obey the agreement of civilization's rules/laws, use criminal methods, corruption of professional occupation, and evil in general to get money and anything else they think they want. Normally that gets stopped, but its not unusual for people like that to find a new way to do crime that catches the authorities by surprise, and that's about all this amounts to, except they thought they'd be safe by using the office of the president to protect their criminal activity.
I don't know why they don't understand that voting for the president is another way of expressing the subordinant authority of the president to the people who vote. They are quite literally like maids and butlers in a house. That's a good and noble profession, but if they are evil and treacherous, trying to kill the master and claim the estate they were hired at, they both are unworthy of being any sort of leader, and ignorant of how to maintain all that an estate requires to stay profitable and enjoyable for all who live and work there. They are also horribly arrogant by not appreciating how good their jobs were by the generosity and trust of the master for all his employees, family, and guests and no other reason. That goodness and trust is going to stay the same because it is the very same goodness that is both real and imagined, except being channeled into civilization by leaders, workers, friends, and everyone, especially if they are disabled without the ability to work a normal job. That's not going to change, and in fact the goodness and trust with responsibility is going to get better because the very evil that was done will be outlawed with the very specific definition of the crime. That will prevent the possibility of such an evil ever happening again, and thus: the war on terror will be over because you will have no reason to fear other people doing such treacherous violence again.
You will have to wait and see on that part... but why should you doubt me if you do not already understand what I do about that after I explained so much to you about why I know that as a fact. It is not mystical prophecy of the future by any magical voodoo. It is simply that I paid attention in school, worked hard to be a good person, and did a bunch of extra stuff that interested me even if it was difficult and I had to sacrifice a lot of my personal time to do so. I took classes like "mythology and folklore" by the venerable Mr. Busse, who shall be forever remembered by the anecdote of why he moved from... Chicago(?) to Rio Rancho, New Mexico and became a high school teacher: "Well... I was riding my motorcycle through the Jemez Wilderness and thought... this place has some good scenery."
That was also when I first learned how to code a game, even if I am not a game coder in real life. (I programmed a turn based RPG with simple graphics on a Ti-83 calculator with a friend in class using instructions printed from the internet. During free time when we weren't reading myths, taking quizes on what we read, and writing our own, of course. That was one class you could not b.s. the teacher on about whether you read it or not, and in a good way. Most days we'd have a quiz, sometimes with advanced knowledge, not always, but they were always simple facts about the story you wouldn't have missed if you read it, but probably wouldn't have known if you just "skimmed" carelessly through it.
The final project was a group effort I worked on with some lovely maidens who told me about Taoism when we were cooperating to design an entire cycle of mythology together: creation, teaching, heroism, destruction. I didn't want Soylent Green until much later as an adult, but I did read Robert Matheson's I Am Legend because of that class, and that was before the Will Smith movie came out. I'll never forget how powerful the moment was in that book when the hero spent countless hours and going out of his way so much to feed the only stray dog he'd seen alive in the vampire apocalypse, only to have that dog finally trust him to come close enough the eat and then die the very next moment of natural causes. I remember that extra because of very good friend of mine I played football with at that high school heard I read that book when I mentioned it at random and also read it by chance, and we discussed that moment.
Anyway, other classes that I elected to take that were not easy or without a lot of work, was "forensics" 1 and 2 after. That was when we learned the grisly and scientific facts about crime scene investigation for proof in the most heinous crimes. There were not only lots of cool study materials, including ones real death, but also field trips to the medical school where they study dead bodies for professional knowledge which is also applicable to determine the cause of death as it is to determine how to prevent cause of death, but the best part was our "mock crime" to investigate as a team, involving witnesses, a junk car being lit on fire and pushed off a cliff with meat inside, formal requests for warrants to search faculty offices, backpacks, and perform "lab tests"... and all taught by the lovely and maidenly Ms. Robinson. Here's to you. Hopefully more teachers will take your examples of professionalism to heart and make learning fun, interesting, and fair whether they prefer to be very involved in class or minimally involved in class and do an excellent job either way.
Enough of my own anecdotes and long-winded mutually beneficial writing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The solution I can confirm works (at least for now): buy a freighter as use its hyperdrive. I didn't even know how useful that thing is until just last night when I was seized the opportunity while considering the price and noticed "hyperdrive" was part of the installed tech. You can use it like a normal ship for that purpose, but you will need your personal ship to explore a system. Before I recently rage quit to cease the nuisance of their latest "interloper", I installed the exocraft hub there, and I should be able to summon one directly from the freighter in whatever system I jump to. I haven't tried that yet on account of painfully burdensome interference by a belligerent [redacted] ruining my experience on purpose because he was likely jealous of how much fun I am having in a game he could probably go home and play himself, but instead is working tirelessly to ruin the experience of people like me for an inferior sense of toxic enjoyment no different than playground bullying, except between adults. There is a reason why children are excused from criminal activity until they are legally adults, and there is no excuse for an adult behaving the way a child should know better than to do.
