I want to first say that I love No Man's Sky as is. I jump in every few months and play the updates and enjoy it for what it is. However, as it expands I feel like it is missing a key component that could potential make its own game with its inclusion,

meaningful PvP

Before people shout "Hey, that is not the type of game it is!". I am not saying force all players into this mode. it would be a separate save as the other game modes. I do not want to make this a long entry post so I wanted to throw out the concept and have a discussion.

- Separate mode that plays like the regular game with the addition of PvP- PvP would allow players to hunt and coop with others to kill players and take some (or all) of their loot.- Bases would be raidable (fully or some extent, lets discuss)

- Include clans or factions- The core experience would be similar to Survivor mode (Edit)

This is basic bullet points, but the idea would be to encourage some kind of competitive gameplay with factions/clans. Other players bases should not automatically appear on your mini maps and interface, the same with players. Since planets and the universe or so big, it could be interesting to come across some random's base in a weird planet.

Please discuss.

Edit 2: With save editors and local game saves, this may be more difficult then originally thought
