Overview
Raiding freighter convoys easily for high-value resources and credits eliminates game challenge and undermines the incentive to explore planets or set up mining operations in No Man's Sky.
Freighter convoys can be looted using starship shotguns and sodium-recharged shields while ignoring lone Sentinels to prevent escalating combat waves.
Attacking freighters lowers faction standing, but consequences remain minimal because space station services stay available and stolen cargo can be sold back to victim factions or traded across systems for profit margins.
Boarding a targeted freighter reveals that the crew remains passive despite being attacked, prompting critiques of the ship purchase pricing and suggestions for internal security, boarding combat, and ship capture mechanics.
