📋 About This Mod
Changes the layout of the freighter bridge to be less like a freighter and more like the galactic starship this should be! Beehive windows, a dual pilot station, automatic bridge doors and a command area for the navigator, the captain and YOU!
This is an update for Astro's Bridge to work with current NMS versions. Without AstronautInOrbit the mod would not exist.
This mod also enables building on your new bridge. :) Thanks to Lyravega, who gave express permission to allow this. A small portion of the HANGAR is "technically" made buildable by this change, due to how this works, but DO NOT attempt to place build objects in the hangar, the game will crash.
A small number of users have reported an in-game crash, which is resolved by going to Options>Display and Graphics and setting Reflections to Enhanced or Standard. I do not have this issue on my end so cannot replicate.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 107 endorsements and over 6,000 downloads.
- Adds a fresh, starship-like feel to the freighter bridge, making it feel less generic.
- Building on the bridge is a nice touch for base builders, with a clear warning about the hangar crash.
⚠️ Cons
- Some users report crashes unless Reflections are set to Enhanced or Standard, which is a hidden requirement.
- The hangar is technically buildable but will crash the game if you try, so you have to be careful.
- Requires manual installation to GAMEDATA\MODS, which might be tricky for mod manager users.
For No Man's Sky players who want a more immersive, starship-like bridge on their freighter and enjoy base building. If you're a builder, the bridge building feature is a bonus, but you must avoid the hangar. Skip if you prefer vanilla layouts or don't want to tweak graphics settings for stability.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Extract the archive directly into GAMEDATA\MODS, not the main game folder.
- If you crash, go to Options > Display and Graphics and set Reflections to Enhanced or Standard.
- Never place build objects in the hangar area, as it will crash the game.
