are organic ships heading to No Man’s Sky ? It sure seems that way based on discoveries made by players in the latest experimental branch.

No Man’s Sky Experimental Branch

Hello Games released an extensive set of notes

detailing bug fixes, quality of life improvements, and performance updates. Yet, players are stumbling across in-game oddities not mentioned in the notes.

Among them are what appear to be hybrids of starships and living beings. The No Man’s Sky Subreddit is awash with reports of players coming across these space vessels that resemble living organisms , most notably squids and whales . Players are successfully boarding and flying the ships.

Aboard these vessels, players can customize them using technology such as pulsing hearts, neural assemblies, and grafted eyes. Their purpose resembles those of traditional No Man’s Sky ships (shields, hyper drives for interstellar travel, pulse drives, weaponry, etc.), but they take on a more biological flavor.

The Mysterious Void Egg

Players are finding these ships after embarking a new quest centered on a mysterious Void Egg.

This ties into multiple tweets from No Man’s Sky creator, Sean Murray, consisting of egg images and emojis. Most recently, Murray tweeted a diagram of a non-descript organism that bears an uncanny resemblance to the new ships found in-game.

As for when we can expect the update to arrive, anywhere from a few days to a week going by past experimental-branch-to-full-release cycles.
