I think the update is to stress test NMS multiplayer capabilities!

Love this game and loving this update….. but dang is the multiplayer experience not super great. With so many more people in one area the game is struggling to keep everything loaded in. Everyone around me just stutter jumps around or the bots even just kinda slide through stuff.

Hopefully it’s something they’re working on because like most of us are assuming these updates are tests for LNF.
