No Man’s Sky received a small patch recently. Patch 3.87 went live today and it is focused on bug fixes. It addresses several issues introduced by the Outlaws Update released a couple of days ago.
From now on, pirates will become less ruthless. They will not attack players who are underwater, underground, or in their base. They will also not attack planets that are in low-conflict systems. The effectiveness of Positron Ejector against starship shields has been reduced.
Hauler starships received a buff today, and compared to other ships, they can now upgrade their cargo inventory to a higher capacity.

- Fixed a general issue that caused pirates to attack planetary buildings too frequently.
