My thoughts about Cosmos Update

NMS10

Sometimes Hello Games uses emojis and titles that aren't directly related to the update, so Cosmos could be about anything and we can't really know and logic won't help us. In that sense, making theories also won't be useful

But that said, I still like making theories: cosmos also means harmony or the universe functioning as a whole. At the current state, each NMS update works like a separate mechanism, without integration between them. As a 10th anniversary update, would make sense (especially after a trailer showing all the updates) to connect everything. Imagine if instead of digging for Corvette parts (voyagers update), we should recycle them in the industrial yard (remnant update), or destroy sentinels boss and towers to unlock weapons for corvettes (sentinels update), or even gather parts with submarine (abyssal updates). Or even finding recycling and special items, or again Corvette parts, inside of derelict freighters (desolation update)

Each update we had feels like "ankle" deep because they are disconnected from each other

That's not the strongest theory, but would be nice to have an integration update, working as an overhaul and giving a lot more purpose
