A while back, NMS had a bit of a resurgence in our gaming crew. We all hopped on and fucked about the stars, building bases and using terrain manipulators to make dirt-dick-monuments.

I can't recall who it was that discovered it in our group, but we were soon following these simple instructions:

1. Go to a space station.

2. Swap your ship with an NPC in the landing pad area.

3. Immediately scrap your new ship for parts, and sell those parts for mad profit.

4. Sprint back to the NPC.

5. CLAIM YOUR SHIP BACK FOR FREE.

6. Rinse and repeat.

The devs might have since patched it out, but at the end of it all I tapped out at a little over $4 billion which appears to be bang on for the in-game limit.

I wonder if the money is still there or if they recognised people were abusing the absolute shit out of this and reset. Might login and find out.

Anyway I feel the same, I've restarted a few times now and the allure has long gone. I'm pleased they turned the game around from such an awful launch, but it ain't for me these days.
