* The player can encounter [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey ancient black monoliths that, when interacted with, imparts information to the player new information]].
* Resources are highlighted on player {{Heads Up Display}}s as [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} groups of cubes]].
* One player ship resembles the Viper from ''Series/BattlestarGalactica1978'' and ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'' while the wingman ships shown in the trailers are reminiscent of Cobra Mk. 3 starships from ''VideoGame/{{Elite}}''.
* One of the planets shown in the "Infinite Worlds" trailer is called [[Film/{{Aliens}} LV-426]].
* The Alien Temples shown in the "Portal" trailer resemble both [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey certain black monoliths]] and [[Franchise/StargateVerse certain ring-shaped portals]].
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UVQ14JrfRI "I've Seen Things" trailer]] features narration reminiscent of the "Tears in Rain" speech from ''Film/BladeRunner'', provided by [[Creator/RutgerHauer the same actor]].
-->"I've seen things... a few things before. Left the sun long behind... Galaxies waiting to be found. Planets rich in resources. Battles to be fought. Treasures unknown. The universe... you wouldn't believe."
* One of the heavy metal alloys you can find is called [[Music/{{Motorhead}} Lemmium]].
* The top rank for number of words learned is [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy Babelfish]]. One possible alien interaction is the receiving of a slug that goes in the player character's ear and teaches new words.
* This quote from a Gek Plaque which can be found in a Gek-controlled planet:
-->We are the masters of galaxies, the overlords of the cosmos. Each foe will submit with bended knee to the ALMIGHTY Gek Dominion. We are the FIRST SPAWN. [[LookOnMyWorksYeMightyAndDespair Look upon our works and DESPAIR.]]
* One of the damaged factories has you [[Film/GroundhogDay looping through time]] doing the same thing repeatedly, and one of the options to fix the problem is [[Film/BackToTheFuture recharge the flux capacitor]].
* One ''very'' easy-to-miss one is what happens when you use the Pulse Drive to quickly reach distant planets. You quickly rush past sets of 2 parallel lines. This may seem inconsequential, but this is a subtle reference to ''many'' old space shooting games that used vector graphics, where parallel lines moved past the player constantly to indicate forward motion. Here's [[http://blog.dsky.co/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/sw-xwing-canyon-run.jpg Star Wars Arcade]] as an example.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** One of the components a certain type of ship can have are solar panels on the side, like with TIE Fighters.
** Some Freighters have a distinct flat wedge shape with a raised command deck at the back, much like Star Destroyers.
** Automatically docking with a Space Station (which can be spherical) and rushing past the beams on the side with tall vertical lights on them is extremely reminiscent of the Millennium Falcon docking with the Death Star via a tractor beam from ''Film/ANewHope''.
