1 BUILD A BASE

 You know that planet you found that’s covered in big blobs of gold? It’d be nice to stay there harvesting the lot, wouldn’t it? Find an abandoned outpost and you can claim it as your own, shacking up to develop new tech while expanding it to hold your scavenged loot. You can even teleport to it from space stations. 

2 TRY THE NEW MODES 

Switch to the Minecraft-style Creative mode and it’ll give you free rein to expand your base, while the restrictions on your intergalactic travel will be removed too, allowing you to hop around from planet to planet. Go for Survival mode, however, and the universe will do everything it can to make you an ex-astronaut.

3 PIMP YOUR RIDE 

You might think your current vessel is big, but wait until you see the purchasable freighters from the Foundation update. Big enough to hold multiple ships, grow crops and stockpile resources, they’re basically flying bases that can be summoned across the galaxy or flown to wherever trade prices are highest.
