No Man's Sky: 15 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You
7. Save Money By Refurbishing A Wrecked Spaceship
Since this is a space-travelling game, part of the reason you're playing it is probably to goof around in a whole variety of fancy spaceships and decide which one's best, right?
The natural temptation then, is to head out to your nearest space station and spend all your hard-earned units on a new one. That's one way to go about things, but if you want to save yourself some money then you should find scour planets in search of wrecked spaceships, which are often more powerful than your starting one, and can be repaired for far less money than the half-million units you can spend on a brand new one.
Remember that at this point, you can only own one spaceship at a time, and that if your spaceship gets destroyed, then you don't get it back. Yep, No Man's Sky may be pretty, but it's still harsh.
