Can you FALL onto a planet?

Gives some perspective of the scale of the game when you aren't going 99% of the speed of light.

[@someperson9]

The funny thing is you're pretty much always going faster than light, except on planets.

i used to do this all the time, got some amazing pictures and spent 100 hours modding my life support system to sustain longer and longer falls without constant recharge. so amazingly fun, i felt like a deep diver exploring unknown areas. i dove through asteroid belts, colliding planets, and even found out with proper jetpack mods you can fly from frigate to frigate, swimming through space. just dont do this too far away from a planet or you may be lost, drifting in thr void endlessly

[@thevalarauka101]

I did this once by accident, when for some reason a freighter just disappeared as I was entering it and so when I left my starship I started falling from very high up in space. instead of using my jetpack I pulled out the personal forcefield, I don't know if that made a difference or not but the fall still somehow didn't quite deplete my health bar

[@nunyabusiness9013]

Speaking of which, NMS Traveler has a few videos with portal coordinates of vert rare colliding planets. (planets generated so close to each other that thier atmospheres actually intersect) The gravity on these worlds can obviously get very wonky because two planets are so close together. On these worlds you can jetpack from the surface of one planet to the other.

[@nunyabusiness9013]

*very rare

[@Monarch8468]

Imagine you're just chilling in a planet then a random guy superhero lands infront of you from the fucking atmosphere and waves hi at you.

[@Thelegendofme]

you can also jump onto a freighter from a planet, I've only found it to be possible on low atmosphere planets. takes a while, but is definitely possible to just jump into space.

[@pmull6784]

If I didn't have a jet pack I wouldn't do half the things I do in NMS...

[@AnarchoJosh]

This is the kind of golden content I subscribed for.

[@Pd69bq]

jumping from your frigates in your fleet is MUCH easier. In fact, you can fall all the way to a planet as long as you have enough materials to refill your life support and shield (or the thermal layer and cool frozen effect in earlier versions). If you land on a body of water, you'll survive the fall with only minor damage, though I'm not sure if the damage comes from hitting the surface of the water or the riverbed/seabed

[@gabrielgomez5528]

Surface of the water. There were times I get hurt by falling a little too long into the ocean before I could hit the sea floor.

[@TheSmugFrog]

[@rady7273]

But what happens when you misalign the freighter just slightly so that you still land on the olanet but the gravity is slightly different, not completely perpendicular to the ground? Or does it correct itself when you enter the atmosphere

[@DirtTheGamer]

Interesting question, I assume it changes once you hit the atmosphere

that fighter ship looks absolutely gorgeous. is it a unique model?

[@VoxAstra-qk4jz]

There are three sizes of "star deatroyer" style freighter, and three of the sentinel one. The one in the video is a size one star destroyer. Each sise adds a middle segment, making the freighter longer.

[@VoxAstra-qk4jz]

Unless you mean his starship. Its a sentinel interceptor, which has a big pool of parts to roll from, making them much more unique than the standard fighter/hauler/explore, and with more variation is hull shape than exotics and solar ships.

It funny how unrealistic it is lol Like if a spaceship was magically still at a fixed height than yeah, that would be what would happen... but since usually spaceship are in orbit, if you "fall down" from a spaceship you'd just end up in another orbit slightly different from spaceship's one and you would never fall on the planet, unless you manage to cancel all of your velocity :D

[@Dirty_Davos]

to be precise, getting into an orbit means actually "falling", just on the longest way possible, shorter if your closer to the planet
