Someone Built A Game-Crashing Death Star In No Man's Sky

"Of the many updates No Man's Sky has received over the years, few have transformed the game in the same way as the recently released Voyagers update. Arriving toward the end of last summer, the update allows players to construct ships on a scale never seen before in the game, complete with fully traversable interiors. It led to some wild original builds and recreations of ships from legendary sci-fi franchises."

"Reddit user Even-Ad648 caught sight of the ominous orb of planet-destroying death in a NMS multiplayer game. And though it technically looks a bit smaller than the "real" thing would be, it's nonetheless an impressive and grim-looking spectacle. Though you can create some impressive flying machines with NMS ' corvettes, this Death Star clearly uses some glitching to scale to the size of an in-world space station. And, according to Even-Ad648, the game crashed once they got too close."

Voyagers arrived toward the end of last summer and allows players to construct ships on a scale never seen before, complete with fully traversable interiors. The update produced wild original builds and recreations of ships from legendary sci-fi franchises. A multiplayer player created an intimidating Death Star-sized construct that appeared in a game session. The orb looks somewhat smaller than the original Death Star but presents an impressive and grim spectacle. The build appears to exploit glitches to scale a corvette into the size of an in-world space station. According to the observing player, the game crashed when approaching the construct too closely. Previous community attempts at Death Stars have varied in fidelity to the sphere's dimensions.
