For No Man's Sky players who feel the default ship flight is sluggish and want a more arcade-like, responsive feel. Also great for explorers who want to cover more ground quickly and enjoy hovering over planets. Skip if you prefer vanilla balance or are sensitive to modded speed changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the 'shoemakers-flight-adjustments' folder into GAMEDATA/MODS in your No Man's Sky install directory — no mod manager needed.
- If you only want speed changes, grab the speed-only file; if you only want handling, grab the handling-only file.
- Since the mod edits core game files, disable it before joining multiplayer sessions to avoid potential mismatches.
