TIL Sea of thieves only has 1 Star

A shooting star would be nice as long as it cannot randomly target your ship like the flying lava rocks lol!

Seriously constellations, comets, shooting stats would be nice. We can tell time and the sun rises and sets in the game, so would be nice if we could also watch the passage of time in the night heaven above.

If the sun, moon phases, and stars could tie into occurrences and events in game, it would give a lot of meaning and added fun to some of the things we do. Could add a telescope to track the night sky and events. Even omens the Order of Souls watches for.

In all honesty I've never looked up or even gave a second thought at the sky, I wouldn't want the developers to take time out of making meaningful content to do this or to waste more in game memory for this either but that's my opinion

@enf0rcer yea of course!

@ufc-wolverin3 this is a valid argument. But the way that the dev teams are split up I don’t think something like this would get in the way of future content. The game being beautiful is one of its best qualities. So I would hope they plan on continuing to work on making it beautiful. But hey, some people don’t really care about what the game looks like. Others get goosebumps when they see the night sky

@straw-hat-blake - How about doing more for Pirate Legends first? I was Pirate Legend in April and they have really not added anything specific since then other than Athena quests which are meh (just an aggregation of existing quests). How about allowing us Legends to sail out of the hideout with our ships as mentioned a year ago, how about a Private Island for Legends as rumored, How about a unique ship for Legends? How about allowing a permanent ship name for Legends? Unfortunately I don't see it happening. They first need to satisfy those who have completed the long hard grind to PL, otherwise alot of us will be leaving the game, and I think this is already happening.

Legendary captain status will be amazing if it’s anything like they talked about before release. When you talk about “as rumored” you’re talking about the concept art from the Books. There is so much yet to be brought to sea of thieves. “You don’t see it happening?” Who else is pushing out free updates like this? They plan on giving the community anything it asks for. All in due time. Pirate legends were a minority for a long time so I don’t think pleasing them would be the first priority

@starship42 I wonder if the “glitter” stars that we have now revolve around the North Star like that. It would be awesome if they did have revolving constellations. Like how the Scorpio chases Orion over the horizon in the night sky. And with the clocks and days being the way that they are in sea of thieves you would be able to tell the season just by what stars are present and where.

I couldn’t help but think back to this after playing “Stars of a thief.” It was everything I dreamed it could be. I love this game!! Thank you Rare

@straw-hat-blake Sea of Thieves could learn A LOT about weighty and interesting world design from Red Dead 2...

This game feels like a demo zone to test gameplay...not a real world worth exploring.
