I'm about 2 hours in now. Really need that relaxed mode as I'm hitting the point where constantly recharging absolutely everything is a ball ache.
Patch 4.0.2 is apparently available on Switch now
It is indeed! Lots of old schoolers are upset that the patch has messed I their inventories. To be honest, I am over the moon. This latest patch has removed all the annoying stuff like constant recharging of everything, constant refuelling, constant mining. Those gameplay loops were far too intrusive for me to actually explore.
But this patch is perfect. Aside from the problem it caused with some peoples inventory, they have allowed the player to play exactly as they want. Whatever suits your style.
I now have my Switch version for when I'm lazy, but the main console version is now so user friendly I've got my 8 year old on it. So I'm starting a new save on my Series X tomorrow so I can join him on his planet tomorrow and see if it's possible to set up my own base next to his.
I briefly played him kind of co-op on an old save tonight, and it was incredible coming down onto a planet and landing next to where he was stood. It's pretty much how I envisaged Elite going when I was a kid. Unfortunately they went down the full space sim route, although I won't diss them for it as Elite Dangerous is an incredible sequel. Its just too hardcore for me these days. NMS is now virtually perfect though.
. I'm not sure if SoK has travelled back to the past or is predicting the arrival of the next update!
