Certain designated inventory spaces within the starship, exosuit, multi-tool, and freighter interfaces in No Man’s Sky possess enhanced capabilities. These slots, visually distinguished from standard inventory spaces, provide a significant boost to the performance of modules installed within them. For example, placing a photon cannon upgrade in one of these specially designated spaces can substantially increase its damage output compared to placing it in a regular inventory slot.
The allocation of these enhanced spaces incentivizes strategic module placement, allowing players to optimize their equipment’s functionality. The arrangement of modules around these spaces can also influence their effectiveness, fostering experimentation and build diversity. The introduction of these enhanced spaces represented a notable shift in the game’s upgrade system, allowing for more nuanced control over equipment stats and overall gameplay experience. This system effectively amplifies the impact of upgrades and encourages careful consideration of inventory management.
