>your new ship starts flying sideways at incredible hihg speed until you power up the engines at least one bar
I don't remember this shit happening before. Used to target my original ship immediately after, dock back to it and swap ships again to not have to go through the rest of the mission I'm doing on some weak piece of random crap. Now by the time I get controls back after the undock animation I'm like 1km away from my old ship with the engines barely working and can only hope it randomly turns my way and gets within docking distance before jumping away.

Did Bethesda get rid of the bug that causes your ship’s shield to be nerfed to default, completely ignoring your perks, if you install any of the Crimson Fleet special equipment?
>>
>>563483185
>starts flying sideways at incredible hihg speed
Maybe it's some new bug. I experienced this with the big capital ship from Terran Armada flying away like that after I reloaded a save during the fight with it (I was grinding out the infinite reinforcements and got like 15 or so levels just blasting ships until the game was so incredibly laggy I had to stop). When I reloaded again, it was normal.

WTF. They've thrown balancing right out the window with this Free Lanes update.
You'd think there would at least be a level barrier to only upgrade to your level but no.
Shit, even McClarence had that.
>>
>>563495193
i get having all on 1 level is convenience but you need to add some superstructure to it because no ship would exist that looks like an ai generated spatula and also consider if you need whatever habs you have taking up all that space. to fix that you could just move the front canopy 1 full section forwards then add whatever structure to the back of it to make it look like it has a superstructure.
>>
>>563496562
Oh yeah, I'm not in the shipbuilding autism phase of my current playthrough yet. I just needed to upgrade it to B so I could grav jump farther, which in turn makes everything heavier so I had to add new engines and new guns so I don't get dusted that fast. Once I make my first outpost I'll start sinking resources into making a proper ship, I usually go for small form factor ones and that's why I was asking about the 2x2 double deckers.

Completely unrelated, is there any mod that removes the companion's morality to my actions? I feel like Sarah telling you that Constellation doesn't judge as long as you're not Hitler and then every single Companion being a moralfag is a little disconnected, might as well just make them all morally grey I think.
>>
>>563496831
if you played with the settlement system in fo4 or the camp system in fo76 the ship building system is on the same pipeline of endgame autism.

i wasn't going to mess with the ships but then eventually i went from wanting basic upgrades into more cargo into just making a cool ship

There's two versions of the 2x2. One has industrial, Spacesuit and weapon benches.
The other has pharm, research and a cook spot also a bed.
The 3x1 has two stairs meeting in the middle, and an Industrial bench under the stairs of one, a couple of chairs and other misc shit.
Two kinds of 2x1s A(ft) and F(ore) Both have stairs, a couple of chairs and generic Nova shit on the walls no benches.

>>563502178
Just download the mod that allows you to play blackjack. The only issue is that it's actually blackjack, and the house doesn't have any meaningful limits (caps out at 50k a hand), and there is no one who can sit down and fuck up your game (further narrowing the advantage the house has over you statistically). If you know basic strategy even a little, you can do very well in next to no time. I walked in with 100k and an hour of 50k hands later I walked out with over a million. The dealer still has advantage, still has to stand on 17, etc.

My only gripe is that if you have a face card and any other card besides an Ace, say a 5. That gives you fifteen, but if you draw an Ace the game will ask if you want to treat it as an 11 or a 1. If you're playing extremely aggressive, fast hands like I was you have to be very careful and stop just hitting the interact button and cause yourself to go from a 16 (which it ought to do by default) and instead will lay down a 26 to bust you.

The mod even gives the dealer a shoe to work with, so whoever made it is clearly an actual gambling addict that likes blackjack. I would like a slot machine mod for some variety though, and more randomness.

How hard would it be to script an NPC to just run up the mountain and then run back? It would be mad fun to bet on other runners and then see if they make it

It is wild that this isn't in the game. It's basically horse racing with death. Why can't I sit back and watch retards try to make it and bet on them like the ponies or greyhounds?
>>
>>
>>563503068
I do not see how it cannot be scripted with what's already in the game. I don't know much about nodding, but all they have to do is hit one nav target, then navigate back. Give them random weapons. Let the monsters do their thing. AI fights back, or whatever. Flag if they return to the Red Mile of if they die, send payout. Surely that's not hard.

Not many noob trap skills in the game. They're pretty clear on their effects.

I would say, in general, to get your preferred weapon skills, the ones to get better ship parts (Piloting, Ship Design) AND Ship Targeting (then your preferred damage type but just particle-max for ease). Maybe a level in Boost Pack Training.

He's not wrong though. After 3 years of dealing with the "mile wide, inch deep" and "rotten to the core" stuff that is overwhelmingly from people who haven't played or failed to understand how to play this role playing Bethesda game set in space, it's fine to take the piss out of the situation now that it's becoming more acceptable to like the game. Primarily thanks to Terrab Armada, Free Lanes and obviously the PS5 port.

That said I do think the constant, irrational shitting on the game and the community made everyone more close knit though. The fans of Starfield have been as close as possible to "true" fans as I've ever seen.

I hear you, and NTA, but the community is genuinely so god damn thin skinned and have been since launch due to the relatively poor reception. The few times I've had to use the subreddit to ask a question because /stag/ was dead, was like pulling teeth due to everyone assuming any sort of question is made in bad faith. Preposterously soft babies, the lot of them.
>>
>>563505768
>everyone assuming any sort of question is made in bad faith.
Can you really blame them? I stay away from Reddit at all costs just like I do Discord and Resetera, but still. After the barrage and continuous stream of clearly low effort, bad faith questions and "criticisms" and statements for now 3 years, that's kind of response you get is to be expected. It's more "heighted walls" mixed with pattern recognition than "thin-skinned". Asking a question is definitely still fine, but the way the questions are framed and structured matters a lot more, which to me makes a lot of sense.

>>563503687
Physical is shit beyond Gymnastics, and I suppose Wellness, unless you want to make a Stealth character (don't do this).

Social is weird because Todd doesn't explain to the player that different things like Intimidate only become available after you put a point into them. So, most people don't even know that you can do that shit. They also don't know how to use them outside of standard character interactions (you can use intimidate during combat, for instance). You absolutely want Ship Command though. Good lord, max that out. The issue is to get to it, you need to put 12 points into the tree to access tier 4. This applies to every tree, btw. You can put them in any way you want, but you must put 12 in. Go with Barter obviously and figure out the rest from there.
>Combat
You need to put points into this, but you can actually ignore it for a while. I am running around on Very Hard on a new character that is Rank 24 with nothing but points in Tech, and a few scatter shot points in the other trees to access basic mechanics. It makes combat a lot harder, sure, but also that's kind of the point.
>Science
This has a lot of useful stuff, but it's also extremely resource intensive. Like, holy fuck levels of resource intensity. If you think of this as your end game/NG+ tree, it starts to make a lot more sense. You don't need uber customized weapons your first playthrough, but you will as you go through into NG+ and the weapons aren't cutting it without heavy doses of modifications and upgrades.
>Tech
Almost everything in here is useful. Even boost pack spamming can be useful, if not optimal, but put at least one point in for mobility's sake (just like Gymnastics). Tech is also very resource intensive in that it costs a lot of money. You are going to want to upgrade your ship, you're going to want to build ships, you're going to want to do ship shit in almost all likelihood and the majority of things in this tree aid that. Finally, it has lockpicking.
>>
>>563503687
This anon >>563507074 summed it all. My extra two cents are that you can disregard any combat perks for like 30-40 levels since the weapons will scale with you for a while, and second that you really want some social stuff like Speech and lower buy/higher sell price since the money sink in this game is building ships and you can always just buy materials for crafting shit. Lastly, get some perks on the ship portion, better parts, higher class ships and more cargo are all good perks. After that just bee (you)rself and roleplay what you think your character should be.
Don't be afraid to stockpile points until you do some of the more retarded challenges

My hope was bomb in the chest guy knew all along because he was a 1337haxx0r, and was using you as a means to get the fuck out of situation as a final reveal. Him handling UC electronic attacks, and knowing shit that he'd feed to Delgado so it'd seem like the Delgado was brilliant, and you just pushed things along would make more sense. On reflection, this is a problem with a lot of Bethesda quest lines regardless of the game. They'd make a lot more sense if there was some third party or double agent pulling the strings to smooth the way for you, and make the other players in the story become overconfident due to their string of victories. It's not precisely the same, but I remember being like 12 and playing through the Grey Fox quest in Morrowind and being stupefied by the reveal at the end. I also abused the shit out of the dialogue reward bug so, that made the whole thing even better.

I kinda remember in Fallout 2 that if you complete missions for one of the crime familys but aren't polite and respectful to the Boss when turning in the quests, at the end of the questline, instead of being made into a made man, they betray you and try to kill you.
It's kinda shocking because the Boss doesn't warn you that you're pissing him off. You'd have to reload hours of gameplay to avoid picking rude/unprofessional dialogue options. But, it makes sense.
I kinda wish Delgado was the same, where you could accidentally fuck up and he would be only slightly different, until hours later where its revealed you failed and you have to go a harder route to bringing the Fleet down.

>>563516130
Only if you don't really care for building a custom one. But it's a good starting point anyway if you do want to customize later as well. The shields and damage perks are very worth getting, along with the lockpicking and initial jetpack perks, so you should be able to allocate points to the tree to reach Starship Design without it being a waste. Starship Design is honestly even better than rushing Class C because the best parts are mostly Class B anyway. But you need to blow a lot of money and time to make use of it.

I think that guy is annoying and feels out of place. It makes no sense that he's just broadcasting out all the time except to be a performative showboat whenever someone jumps in near him. Plus I hate all the fucking youtuber people in the game.

My favorite encounter is what I think is one of the new ones, where you encounter a derelict UC ship under attack. They ask you to board to help them and then try to kill you to just take your ship instead.

Does anyone use Starvival?
I'm liking most of the systems it has for ship stuff for my pirate character, but I did some math and realized the with way it handles fuel consumption and the price of fuel the only profitable thing I can do at all in the game is smuggling missions.
There's no point in taking a fleet mission to go even right next door to Cheyenne and take out a ship since the fuel costs end up being like 30k round trip, but the reward is only 14K
Is there a way to reduce the price or fuel consumption based on jump disatance

i never modded the game since when I actually played there weren't very many good mods yet. I just logged when shattered space dropped because I had already paid for it.
>go to do dlc
>immediately get met with some disgusting brown creature
>try to kill it
>it falls to its knees and shuffles around and gets back up

I'd like mods that remove the main story and add some survival elements and lots of combat.
>>
>>563529264
You can ignore the main story after you reach the Lodge, you can basically mod Shattered Space off if you so want (there's a delay mod) and there's a bunch of new mods that make it prime survival autism. That being said, if you want Elite Dangerous or X4, then go play Elite Dangerous or X4.
>>
>>563526531
I don't, but the mod mentions the price being based on your commerce perk. Does setting up outposts to make it work out better? I think the original intent of the game design was that you would have outposts placed in the galaxy specifically as refueling stations.
>>
>>563529264
Someone mentioned Starvival a couple of posts up, but it sounds pretty brutal in a not fun way. There are alternatives though like Real Fuel/Spacefaring Economy/Cost of Spacing etc. Roleplayer's Alternate Start and Take Your Time ~remove the main story.
>>
>>563530428
(Actually take your time just prevents your quest log from filling up with infinite bullshit, but this also means that if you choose to start the main quest the follow-up bullshit with Sarah won't enter your quest log. )
>>
>>563530262
Looking at the commerce perk, its still quite expensive even at the top level.
Im not sure on outposts, but I want to assume it doesnt without heavy investment, not to mention it has costs for them as well
The only reason smuggling is actually effective is that depending on the size and distance its anywhere from 150-300k credits, so you can afford the 50k in expenses you'd rack up on the round trip.
Fuel seems like its ten times more expensive than it needs to actually be, if I can just find and tweak that value to 10-20% of the current fuel cost then it would be more reasonable.
>>
>can fast travel to outposts now from the database
is it time....do I finally do an outpost builder? Whats a good background for that?
>>
>>563531614
I picked professor and it has the best stuff specifically for outposts. Homesteader or Industrialist are probably better role playing options though. There are a few unique dialogue choices out there, but it's mostly recognizing literary quotes, which is odd seeing how the perks are all STEM-related and not speech stuff which is more what I would think literary type academic would have.


I set up a starter base on Bessel III-b to do the cheesy adaptive frame and isocentered magnet grinding so I would be ready for Terran Armada quickly, but that was mostly because I had literally never done resource extraction despite having done 3 complete playthroughs previously. You can very easily get the same setup going quickly on other planets if you know what to do.

>>
>>563535417
There's a little space combat, but not much for most of it. You'll face around two ships at most on the incursions that have ship combat. There's one BIG battle towards the end of the questline though with literally infinite enemy ships spawning. I grinded up like fifteen levels in that fight until the amount of debris was making my game too laggy to continue. But if you don't want to put points in ship stuff, you can get by with just doing the minimum fine. The DLC is mostly just shootin robots.

Wait... Am I a fucking idiot? Has grav drive always been excluded from equip power?
>>
>>563538678
you normally leave 0 power in grav drive, max in shield and engine, and the rest split between weapons when not grav jumping. if you have an auto weapon that has a bar that depletes when firing many bursts, it can be far below max power, but if you use a non auto weapon that needs to charge every time it fires, it must be full power for max dps

In theory, yes, you're supposed to have multiple suits for the different hazards. However, they're pretty negligible even with all the optional stuff turned up for it. Personally I just stack thermal and the other ones never really come up except when there's weather conditions, and you can wait those out or go somewhere else when surveying a planet. Thermal is the only one that really seems to matter when your goal is to just kill people and get indoors as quickly as possible for POIs.

I think a lot of hate stems from simpletons.

It’s no secret that the modern gamer these days is stupid and needs the game to explain everything for them, hold their hand etc.

The fact that there are redditors saying he swayed them once they met him is fucking hilarious. Retards have no concept of right and wrong, just vague ideas. The writer for this quest was good, though, he put this line in here just to confirm that this man was absolutely not repentant. He genuinely believed he could get away with what he'd done and live his happy life of """atonement."""" This line alone proves he deserves justice to rain down on his fucking head.

Cargo links not working during sleep is kinda irrelevant in this case because the amount is laughable enough to just sit in storage then be carried over by the next freighter after I wake up, but I remember trying to level through complex crafting back in 2023 which involved moving ridiculous amounts of resources between several planets and this just kills the entire idea because it relies on things doing their thing while you sleep.
Now it would also be fun if the x-tech outposts would keep working after I hand them over, I don't have much hope but we'll see

That way you can keep all your companions alive if you choose to replay the main quest, and you're able to upgrade your starborn powers (it looks like you need to be in NG+ before you can do so, might be a bug though).

It's half and half. Players getting overly attached to their save file miss the point of the villains, they went insane because of their detachment. But I can understand being mad you miss out on content.
But Bethesda made their own mistake too.

Post the whole thing

>"The Unity was our way of doing New Game+," says Howard. "It was us asking you this weird, deep question that I actually think got lost on a lot of people. It asks if you are just this power gamer who wants to get everything, or are you willing to leave this world behind? How do you feel about your own life choices – would you leave that all behind and start over? Some of that pain – having to give up all of your stuff, Sarah Morgan not loving you anymore, and so on – is supposed to make you feel all of that."
>Tim Lamb, lead creative producer of Starfield, tells me that Bethesda knew early on that it wanted a compelling New Game Plus loop in place for this cosmic adventure. He points back to the disappointment many fans had at the conclusion of Fallout 3 being instructive here. "The game just ended. The feedback we got at the time was that fans were surprised – they wanted to keep going. So we put this system into Starfield; we wanted it to be a meaningful choice, but it wasn't meant to be suffering."
>Howard was clearly inspired by Edge of Tomorrow for the endgame progression loop Starfield launched with. "It's one of my favorite movies," he says, recalling the ending of the 2014 sci-fi film (directed by Doug Liman; starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt) with an almost gleeful melancholy. I'm with Howard on this one: if you're interested in an action film with an excellent time loop concept, it's well worth your time. Still, Howard says that the weight of these decisions may have been lost on players. "So we create this feeling of 'hey, you have to leave everything you did behind', but as a gamer, you're like, 'I just want to go through the magic gate and get more power.'"
>"If you decide to enter the Unity now, you can do it in a way that you feel that you can still continue your character and have some of your stuff – it's stuff that you earned, after all."
>>
>>563596972
>"Take something like the Trackers Alliance, or other quests. You do them and then you're done. That's still rewarding, but for someone who jumps back in, they might play for a few hours – and then the update didn't serve them beyond those two or three hours. We want to be trying to do more things that update the game where it's going to change the next 100 hours," says Howard. "You can tell us if we're done our job right."

Looks like they're looking at increasing the amount of things you can do in the future.

Todd’s right, the average gamer nowadays is an impatient anti-intellectual bastard. Not that I’m saying Starfield is a masterpiece writing wise, but still, so many people are mistaken about things the game outright spells out to them.

>>
>>563595275

>>563597346
The whole fucking point of the Unity is that you're leaving absolutely everything behind. You're validating The Hunter by doing it repeatedly, in the sense that you just want more power and don't care about the consequences of your actions. It's even worse if you're a speedtranny.
>>563597435
He literally spells it out at the end there:
>"So we create this feeling of 'hey, you have to leave everything you did behind', but as a gamer, you're like, 'I just want to go through the magic gate and get more power.'"
No matter the message, Starfield is still a videogame and they needed to chicken out and give retards what they wanted.
>>
>>563597435
>Lamb reflects further on the challenge it inadvertently put on players: "The attachment that players felt to the things that they had gathered up to that point meant that they didn't want to part with their items. It was a bridge too far – a sacrifice too meaningful. There's so many exciting things that can happen in our New Game Plus loop that we wanted to give a bit of encouragement."
> The decision to make this change, he tells me, was spurred on by the decision to introduce more robust weapon and suit upgrade opportunities through the Free Lanes update.
>I get the sense that Howard is a little disappointed that Bethesda had to make this sort of change to Starfield, that it almost interrupts the romanticism of the story and final decision. Still, Howard is clear that making refinements to what he calls the 'elder loop' of the game (i.e. the way Starfield plays over extended durations) were essential, and will be moving forward.

In the end making gamers happy is what matters.

>Is there anything worth taking through to NG+?
No, that's the issue. You'll get a suit that, unless you ground the game to paste in NG, will replace anything you brought. Guns are hit or miss since you could have some disgusting roll before, but now you can just X-Tech a new Legendary gun in no time.
They caved in and gave the quantum entanglement device to people who want to trivialize the game. If you enjoy that kind of thing, all power to you I guess; I'm on the hobo-phase enjoyer side, however.

Unrelated but is the captcha acting up and is extremely slow for everyone else today or is it just me?
>>
>>563598643
Don’t do this. I recommend you do everything in the first universe, speedrun until NG+10, then redo everything in the final universe. It’s worth it.
>>
If it was possible to go back in time and do your entire life over irl, many people including those who rejected the Unity would choose that in a heartbeat, even if it meant losing everything you've obtained thus far. The issue with doing this in Starfield is that it's not as compelling to do so. Video game saving and loading logic already allows you to redo a lot of things which defeats the allure of entering a new universe, and since Bethesda decided to give you the ability to increase your Starborn powers so you don't have to go through the Unity ten times to strengthen them, you have even more little reason to do so.

What Bethesda should have done was made more problems inevitable on a first playthrough, similar to the death of a Constellation companion.

I feel like removing saves and only allowing autosaves and actually locking you to certain decisions like which faction to join instead of doing the usual Bethesda bullshit of you can be absolutely everything in the same playthrough would increase the allure of jumping through the Unity tenfold. Again, it's a game and they went with their arcade game design, but narratively speaking it would/should take either extreme willpower or absolute desperation to leave everything you knew behind to start anew.

No, I like what Bethesda has done with the Starborn mystery. My only problem with the worldbuilding is that there’s no real cultural distinction between the UC and FC.

Maybe instead of a billion copies of Charles Dickens books that were taken from earth maybe they should have gotten a team of writers to just write nonstop book lore and spread them around the universe which would have helped us a lot more in expanding the universe and making it more interesting. Heck, they should have just done fake tv shows, commercials, radio shows from various periods of earth's destruction to the chronicles of a hero at the multiple wars they've had.
>>
>>563604721
>No, I like what Bethesda has done with the Starborn mystery
They could have kept the mystery with the gate system, but mde a system that people want to engage with (especially modders) instead of what they have now. Notice how a good bit of the content in Freelanes is designed to encourage you to go down the MSQ path; they know its unpopular especially the NG+ system.
>>
>>563604184
Starborn shit is fine even if its too close in name and gameplay to Dragonborn shit (and it clearly uses the same effects in engine for certain things like Space Ro Dah)
>>563605175
This. All they had to do was write an actual backstory and deep fucking lore that everyone loves about their games and discuss decades after their release, and give us more black and white things (a no-no in current day, I know) like the reason each side went to war or the main quest having actual consequence like in Fallout 4 where you have to annihilate one or more factions to do a certain ending, kill all synths or help them be free, etc. Hopefully 20 years from now when we get Starfield 2 they'll have learned.

Funnily enough the only thing in the game that kinda checks these two points is the Crimson Fleet questline, where both sides have a reason, there's some background story that gets revealed over time and you have to pick a side at the end at the cost of completely obliterating the other.

the main story isn’t a region defining quest, it’s a highly personal one, and that is a GOOD thing, you can carry out what your character even believes in. do they share ideologies with the Emissary, the Hunter, neither? Or hell, maybe they don’t care and wanna try each option on a whim. There’s also are also moderately heavy choices to be made in the story, but they don’t affect anything much, its flavor to show how benevolent or ruthless your character is.
Vanguard questline has no real consequences or penalty for agreeing to lie about Sanon being involved with the terrormorphs, sure.
There’s also NO consequences for Ron Hope getting away with his scheme, sure.
Ryujin sure as shit doesn’t operate any differently regardless of what you choose.
Only the Crimson Fleet has any real, tangible outcome that doesn’t require a pre-Unity jump slideshow.
>>
>>563607009
That’s still not a real cultural distinction. Both of them eat lab grown food, both apparently raise alien cattle, both read the same literature, both eat the same cuisine, only difference is that one of them is populated by stupid cowboys who worship their 4-corpos-in-a-trenchcoat government for not making ‘em pay any god dang taxes.

>the main story isn’t a region defining quest, it’s a highly personal one, and that is a GOOD thing, you can carry out what your character even believes in
That's fine but it also has no consequence beyond, maybe, what you wish to roleplay as. You don't sacrifice anything for those decisions, you don't lose anything other than one (1) companion, all of which are completely irrelevant to you other than your love interest and even that's a maybe. Your personal life, beyond discovering the truth, is not affected in any way shape or form. The game doesn't have to be some grandiose save the universe shit like in TES, but if they're going to make it a personal story then they need to have personal stakes in it, which it does very poorly, bringing me to my previous point.
>Vanguard museum
They started fighting over a minor dispute (colonizing Narion) and basically what amounts to political retardation, not because they had different ideals or one of them was trying to conquer the other. As the other anon said, they're quite basically the same thing. They could've made it a lot more nuanced, one of them had slaves, one of them was draining planets without a care in the world, etc. Neon vs UC or Neon vs Freestar would've been absurdly more interesting; having a literal corporate civilization fight a citizen/democratic makes picking a side better than "these guys with a city vs these same guys living in the outback".
Lastly, the war crimes the game tries to put as the most horrible shit ever are not even close to nuclear weapons or even glassing planets Covenant-style from orbit, they could've made that point a lot more divisive.
Like everything else in the game, other than the Crimson Fleet, you're dealing with moralfags and slightly different moralfags.
>>
>>563607594
>what amounts to political retardation
>not because they had different ideals
you complain about lack of nuance while demonstrating lacking nuance yourself. you don't even understand the faction conflict in the game, because it doesn't have evil green aliens vs heroic humans. instead the conflict is created by earth like adherence to laws, ethics and regulations vs "do whatever the fuck you want as long as you respect individual rights of others"
>Lastly, the war crimes the game tries to put as the most horrible shit ever are not even close to nuclear weapons or even glassing planets Covenant-style from orbit, they could've made that point a lot more divisive.
this sounds like a you problem as someone who only consumes bethesda writing. not every conflict needs to be about the literal worst thing you can imagine vs. the literal noblest of noble heroes saving the day like in your average bethesdaslop game.

Headsup for anyone using "Fly Closer To Planets in Cruise Mode", which seems like a simple tweak to just throw onto your modlist- it often results in a bug where your cruise mode speed is extremely low, even if you are at max speed. It can make it take actual hours if you waited long enough to get to your destination - and if you attempt to fast travel to escape the long wait, it will rubberband you back to where you originally were, it won't even take you into deep space.

As for the artifact I don't even bother. I think the main story and starborn shit are the worst parts of the game

You just look like a schizo when you lash out at a poster assuming you've been talking to one person like this is your personal discord or something. And please don't double down by saying I edited this screenshot.

I didn't say anything about my own opinion on the setting. I rather like the UC and FC and think the history of the Narion war is cool. I just don't think that the game releasing years earlier would have had any real impact on how Starfield's lore on that is generally perceived. And generally, I feel like I've seen a lot of people say they think the UC/FC stuff is way more interesting on paper than it is in-game because we never really get to see the strife between the factions in action. The UC and FC are pretty exclusively amicable in-game, despite the Colony War being living memory. We only ever really see groups that are labeled as rogue factions who break the peace.

The heretic writings are from the Zealots. Shattered Space gets into more, but basically the Zealots split from the regular House Va'ruun because when the Serpent's Crusade ended, the Zealots didn't accept the new heir, who ended the crusade, as being divine. Thus, the Zealots didn't accept the crusade ending either, and continued to attack random people.

I imagine the banned heretical writings basically say
>You should kill everyone because the snake god said so and the guy who said to stop killing people is a lying faggot.
And for some reason the settled system governments are legitimately afraid that these texts would inspire people to act on them. It makes little sense though when you visit Va'ruun'kai and see that they are very clearly an ethnoreligious group and don't accept outsiders without extenuating circumstances.

I've tried NMS and asked people what they liked about it. It's the ubisoft mentality. As long as you have content it's good content and as much of it as possible. Run around and pick up the 12, 223rd carbon, pick the next word for a language even though you never feel like you've seen a complete sentence translated, pick up random shit and throw it into chests and never do shit with it, dig until you find shit that does nothing, scan a rock and then scan the slightly bigger variant of said rock and then scan the even bigger variant of said rock. It's fucking insane.

It actually bothers me that people don't realize that's how NMS does all it updates. When everything is shallow and ugly of course you can easily load shit in or make as much garbage as you want. NMS fauna less AI than a GTA 3 npc. Black holes were mostly pngs for a while. Every planet has a template for the shit you can fine. Stuff is barely cluttered and feels like an mmo. The game is barely loading anything of value. Also I advise not reading the plot when you play NMS. It basically does what Star Ocean 3 did and kills the value of the game's premise.

Stop glazing No Man’s Sky like it’s the second coming of space sims while circlejerking anti Starfield hate. I’ve played both. Yeah, seamless planet to space flight is immersive as fuck, but everything else is surface level as a puddle.

The core loop is 90% of the game autopilot between planets, scan/grind resources, craft more resources to grind even more. Outposts? Just crafting hubs with zero gameplay. Your “epic story” that everyone creams over? Fly to the galaxy center, get told “lol nothing here,” jump to the next galaxy and repeat. That’s it. Weak as shit.
AI and NPCs have the depth of an NES Final Fantasy extra. Get a better ship or multitool? Cool, now you harvest faster. After 10 years of free updates the loop hasn’t changed once. Every new feature is a shallow gimmick that barely talks to anything else, all roads lead back to mining.
Combat is literally a toddler’s first Unreal Engine FPS, point, big number pops up, win.
And the procedural gen hypocrisy is hilarious. Starfield gets shit on for empty worlds, but NMS? Three building templates per race, copy pasted across every planet with zero variation. Every system has a dominant race, 90% of planets are lush and resource packed, grass/tree color is the only difference. Crystals, plants, hazards identical everywhere. The galaxy feels like a fake theme park because it’s designed that way.
Past the first hour “whoa” factor, it’s watching paint dry in space. It’s not a deep sim, it’s a pretty screensaver with busywork. Stop pretending it’s better than Starfield just because it runs on hype and copium.

It's basically a paid mechanic, there's almost no story.

Just like the final fight of the Crimson Fleet quest but now repeatable.

What paid mechanic? Free Lanes is its own update that the DLC glomps on

DID SOMEONE AIRSTRIKE THE CAPTCHA SERVER HAMSTER OR SOMETHING
>>
>>563655596
It's alright. It's a short story that's somewhat similar to Fallout 4's Automaton DLC minus being able to build your own robots that involves sabotaging the operations of a new, mostly robot enemy faction, and is basically just add on content to the Free Lanes update that maybe represents 25% of the total content added. The content is about the size of what you can expect from something they could have just put up on the Creations store, but since that has a 2gb limit, it's too big to fit on there, and that's why they sold it as a $10 DLC instead that you could virtually get for free if you purchased the Starfield Premium.

I expect Bethesda to add more to it in the future as paid creation content, because if you look at the short cartoon they put out for it, there was some guy in it that from what I can tell so far doesn't show up.
>>
>>563656613
Incursions.
>>
>>563656985
Eh I'd say it's more of a feature/activity for endgame rather than a (pure) mechanic since they also have to design and make the assets, hire voice actors, and integrate the content with a reasonable hook etc., but I get you

I kinda prefer this Free Lanes + Terran Armada approach of add a new mechanic plus whatever content that would support it (new space encounters), then add a new bespoke paid story/activity to extend the world/lore using said mechanic

Also the 10$ price tag is reasonable
>>

they have added a shit ton of stuff to do in the game. NMS has the same problem Starfield does; the MSQ makes actually doing something in the universe meaningless for tounge in cheek meta reasons.
>>
Some people seem to get more out of using No Man's Sky as the gold standard for how space games should be without actively playing it themselves, assuming they even played it at all. It's like preaching the gospel without actually following it's teachings. Even perceived perfection can't always hold someone's attention for expanded periods of time, and people tend to be more in love with the idea of it than they are with the reality.

>>563659324
patrician taste, NMS soundtrack is absolutely goated

>>563660103
case in point, the selling point for NMS was vast amounts of star systems proceduraly generated, yet the feature the player base clamored for the most and engages in is....base building. Staying in one place, and acquring stuff. Muria is the perfect companion because all much of her commentary is basically the inner monolog of an RPG player: destroy things to acquire things.

You should just talk to them so they unlock the Frontier for you to keep and do whatever afterwards, there are a couple of alternate start mods if you want nothing to do with Constellation unless you choose to but I've never tried them so I can't vouch for their functionality.
>Is weapon/suit engineering the equivalent of smithing+enchanting?
Yes, not necessary but it helps if you play with the difficulty cranked up (as you should because the best way to play this game is by survival autisming it)
>Do I need a base and mines at all or can I just buy materials?
You can buy all materials. Your ship will be your player home for the longest time until you have the necessary perks to make Outpost building not a logistics nightmare
>I often struggle to see the enemy amongst the environment, is this normal? Are there thermal sights?
Recon sights, yes

getting to the lodge isn't really equivalent to the dragon, it'll lead to a brief mission with sarah and then 3 more quests to introduce you to the other two companions and to link back up with barret.

You mean like in Fallout 3 where you couldn't hire certain companions depending on your karma or like in Fallout 4 where if you get them to dislike you enough they leave forever and you can never get them back?

It's all random. Difference with random POIs marked from space is that you'll land directly at that specific POI, while if you land at a random spot on the planet you will land in the middle of nowhere. But in both cases the game will spawn random POIs around you anyway.

You do know radars get weaker over larger distances (inverse square law) despite traveling at the speed of light?

After the second Artifact that (You) touch, Constellation has put 2 and 2 together and realized that only the first person that touches an Artifact gets the visions. By the time you discover that each Artifact is tied to a Temple and that Temples give you powers, not a single one of them, not even Barret, shows any intention of touching one of the new ones (that they keep discovering thanks to Vlad) or making Barret go through each Temple as well just in case you die or leave or whatever. That makes no sense from a scientific and supposed explorers point of view.

The version of (You) that you play as is an anomaly in the infinite multiverse. In other universes the miner from argos becomes a token mascot character of the group, the plucky blue collar comedic relief in a group of yacht club snobs, until he gets aced out by the hunter, becoming part of the tragic backstory for the other members of constellation who go on to become starborn, like the emissary.

Quite literally, your drive as the player to hunt down all of the artifacts and temple for yourself is canonically why it is the way it is. Barret is hesitant to even ask you for permission to use a temple during his companion quest, and will take no for an answer. I'd say they're all just backing down because you seem kind of driven, and a little bit psychotic.

Doing the Ryujin Industries quest "A New Narrative" planting the data slate at Laredo.

I am also doing a themed playthrough involving no stealing, so goal of a 0 in the Items Stolen category in Crime section of the character status screen.

Run-ending infuriating problem encountered in this mission: Placing the slate quest item into the chest it needs to be put inside of for some reason counts as an Items Stolen increase even though I'm literally not taking anything, only putting something in.

Any way to place the item / complete the mission without getting the Items Stolen increase that doesn't involve using console commands or anything else that would disable achievements?

If it was a quest to literally just actually steal something I'd be fine just having the character abandon the questline, but I'm frustrated because you're literally not even stealing anything here.

No, unless you're really fond of the snek aesthetic there's nothing in it for you except maybe the Longfang, which may or may not be the best gun type in the game, I haven't tested that extensively but it is pretty good
It's a single location, no new universe wide mechanics, no story impact, the most I've seen is literally 1 [Walked the serpents path] dialogue prompt and I'm pretty sure that was in a tracker's alliance bounty series mission.

If you care about the setting and lore, yes. And It’s nice to have another city. They actually hand crafted the area around the city too unlike the base game cities so it feels more like Whiterun hold or something.

I don't understand how you can deliver such a lukewarm take when Terran Armada literally just came out and adds incursions and a fully-fledged companion. Hell, the Longfang is a fucking orion reskin that differs only in function by having slightly more projectiles. DLC typically give you something to bring back to the main game, or introduce a new feature.
>nuka world

>automatron

far harbor is the closest comparison to what shattered space is, and even it had the decency to include a full companion, new weapons, and that new settlement fog thingy that admittedly doesn't matter because who the fuck uses those settlements lmao
>>
>>563687496
>far harbor is the closest comparison to what shattered space is
>>
>>563687496
Far Harbor doesn't have a full companion since Old Longfellow doesn't have dialogue or reactions to anything in the base game. Likewise, outside of Nick valentine, none of the base game companions have dialogue for Far Harbor. On the other hand, all of Starfield's major companions have over 200 new lines of dialogue for everything in the DLC, with Andreja getting another 100 lines on top of that just for her. shattered Space literally IMPROVED on what Bethesda did in Fallout 4.

>DLC typically give you something to bring back to the main game
-New generic, weapons and armor, and several unqiue pieces
-Grenade crafting + new vortex grenades
-The ability to buy Va'ruun ship instead of being forced to hijack them

Muria is profoundly broken. I understand that she apparently does not have any of her skills active, but after some observations and testing, I have found she is actually uses the ammo she is equipped with and, if she has run out of ammo, she will either go to her default gun or she will pick up a weapon and ammo I did not even give her and use them. She picked up a magshear and ammo from some zaruun and used them, after I specifically gave her an upgraded tombstone and ammo for it; the ammo was gone when I opened her inventory. Same with throwables, she will use the one I equipped her with and then its gone from her inventory.
>>
>>563695908
>or she will pick up a weapon and ammo I did not even give her and use them. She picked up a magshear and ammo from some zaruun and used them,
All the companions can, and have, done this since the game came out. Companions have done this since like Fallout 3 IIRC.

In all honesty it’s probably normal for her at that point.
>>
>>563696213
>All the companions can, and have, done this since the game came out. Companions have done this since like Fallout 3 IIRC.
I have never seen other companions do that since launch, nor I have I seen it as a listed behaviour of starfield companions specifically (thats why they have built in weapons) nor have I had any problems with them swithcing from equipped weapons or expending ammo/throwables. Only with Muria. No mods, completely vanilla.

he's just saying that if you don't give starfield companions weapons they do the same thing bugged muria is doing, salvage one from the environment and equip it

I take back the part about picking up weapons, since apparently they can, but she apparently did it because she ran out of ammo for her equipped weapon midfight, which should not happen.

Muria lacks a keyword which all other companions and crew have that stops her from using up the ammunition in her inventory, which is why she is the only one that can actually run out.

>Falklands
It mogs every location in NA and all the other shipyards (vanilla or not), somehow. I think their ship modules scratch a certain itch, but aren't the best of the bunch. Bethesda should see if they can get them to do a revamp of NA. Their environmental work far exceeds most of what is in the game by default, and they clearly know how to do Fallout-style absentee NPC quests in said environments that Starfield also mostly lacks.

There's only two (three) that you'd remember. Terrormorphs, Heatleeches, and the creatures that eat Heatleeches. Every other animal doesn't have a lore presence, nor can be found predictably in an area. That's the problem.

Would’ve sided with the Crimson Fleet if it didn’t mean lost xp from killing pirates, but I don’t think that matters anymore since the Terran Armada incursions are the best xp farms now and X-Tech made astras obsolete, so I’ll be sure to side with the pirates next time.

Imagine in NG+ you could come across a wreck in your travels. It's a Discovery-class vessel, like the Frontier. Searching it, you find the trashed remains of a robot and one corpse, wearing a miner's spacesuit, slumped over the pilot's console. The body is already too decayed to tell who it might have been, but you notice it still has an employee ID clipped to the suit, covered in a thick layer of soot.
You take the ID, brush the soot off, and immediately drop it to the floor in shock when you recognize the face and name on the card.
It's your face, your name.

Not the same comparison and even you know this is disingenuous.

Those games are combat centric games and aren’t trying to emulate a full society.
Starfield is supposed to be a sandbox RPG simulating a living world where crime, morality and human behaviour exist. If it includes stuff like piracy, smuggling, murder etc but omits the basic adult aspects of human nature the world is less believable. Not the same as a linear shooter.

just watched a vid of "nms atmospheric entry" that all the kids are raving about and it doens't look that impressive. definitely not a feature i'd put much weight on. what is noticeable tho is the spaceship is just a viewmodel and you are clearly a floating camera in space.

at what point does having the gimmick of no loading screen (tho, the asteroid belt and going thru it is a hidden loading screen i think) landing actually matter? i think having a small landing craft which you can fly around in the skybox to explore might be better than trying to fly your giant ass hunk of starship around the atmosphere

The NMS atmospheric exit/reentry is so over hyped.
It’s fun for like 2-3 times but then you get used to it and it lasts all of 2 seconds.

The only games where it’s meaningful is Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen where it takes much longer to breach a planet.

I guess the CDProjekRED devs must be just as retarded then as they launched Cyberpunk with no multiplayer when Rockstar launched GTA with Online.
>>
>>563716270
Yes, they are retarded. They promised their government multiplayer features to get their funding and then failed to meet that quota. Your comparison doesn't line up, though, as Cyberpunk is a much more involved and complex game than GTAV, as NMS is a much more involved and complex game than Starfield

the feature isnt as impressive as you people think. the sequence where the planet surface texture fades to the map geometry is essentially a loading screen.

here's a random example from google that i think looks better

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDLksiW1pbk

and for reference, the nms vid i watched

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UExKIrOlVmU

you can clearly see the point where the planet model gets faded out into the map geomtry below while you still see the curvature of the planet and it makes the whole planet look more like an asteroid because how small it is.

One of the first players in the world to platinum Starfield on PlayStation says it’s one of the most boring games he’s ever played

It took ItsIlusion around 45 hours to earn the platinum trophy, joining the 0.1% of players who have unlocked the ultra-rare achievement.

He then posted on social media:

"Officially one of the first people to Platinum STARFIELD and it might be one of the most boring games I’ve ever played in my life GG BETHESDA "

>other players can see you flying in your ship
because the "other player" is just replaced by a generic model of the ship. you see a "ship", while the player is a flaoting camera, and you are a floating camera.

you're not really an "object" in the sense it matters.

Stupid idiot rushing through video games
>>
>>563716672
I'm assuming the point you're trying to make is that the player is not physically inside the ship after having sat down in the seat, as starfield supposedly does
NMS has that now, they added Starfield ship customization with interiors you can walk around in.
>>
>>563716651
A game where your gameplay is literally mining rocks and crystals to be able to mine other rocks and crystals isn’t in anywhere close to the complexity of Starfield.
Your core gameplay loop is mine, warp, mine, warp.
The NPCs have the same level of AI as from the NES period of games.
There’s no point in ever doing an outpost because you’re always on the move to the centre of the galaxy and all there ever is some red ball that takes you to another galaxy.
Acting like NMS in any capacity is more complex than Starfield is fucking grim.

No matter what you try, nobody is going to play your game Sean. Your game still looks like a solo dev indie project after supposedly being in development by a game studio for 10 years.

NMS does not even provide a imsim-like RPG experience on top of space game mechanics, that's why they can put more focus on those things plus get away with lack of POI variety over 10 years. Chill out

that is just really cool honestly. blasting holes in asteroids and flying through... damn.
>>
>>563717437
Ehhhh that's a pretty big misunderstanding of how things actually played out with 76. People memed that it had "no NPCs" because bethesda "couldn't get them to work," despite the fact that the game very much did have NPCs and dialogue at launch. Adding humans was just to counter those accusations, and was a pretty big downgrade to the game's direction, honestly.
>>
>>563717641
Eh that and mostly missing all the “Persuasion” dialogue options. To get different outcomes.

Also, the ship was a UC vessel. I decided to be extra and snuck to steal what I wanted from the captain’s locker, dropped a ship repair part, then left.
If it was a FC ship, I would’ve killed everyone on board without hesitation.

What does quantum essence do now?

I went to temple, got the power.
Outside there was a guardian waiting for me. Killed, got some essence.
I used it and I glowed for a minute.
Nothing else changed it seems?

That boosts your mana/starborn juice regen (you can hotkey the button). You can also use essences to upgrade powers

I know that people want >le new content to be accesible asap but I can't help but sigh whenever I'm installing a "delay this shit" mod for a DLC or a Creation, especially if the contents of said thing are clearly for higher level.
It happened in Skyrim too, you'd get jumped by the third dlc at lv7 and the dlc areas are 30+, at least back then they didn't have the gameplay settings menu but I really hope (lol) that for TES6 there's a slider to just tell the DLC to fuck off until LvX where X is the lowest scalable notch.

So where's the black Sun, UV only atmosphere planet in Starfield? I want one. No, Va'ruun'kai doesn't count even though it's actually unique and a step in the right direction towards more aesthetically different planets.

>>563726498
Not him. I won't risk it, none of the achievement enabler works right now
>>
>>563721410
If you're going to use starvival there's like a half dozen or so systems you have to turn off or tweak, equipment degradation is one of them since it can't assign values to specific items so damage to one suit damages all your suits, etc.
I also kill the self control stat since it seems like it's only purpose is a roundabout way to force players to use addiction treatments, fame and reputation since low rep makes the game unplayable due to fucked costs, while high rep randomly fills your inventory with misc garbage, and a few others.
It's also worth mentioning that even if you turn off the entirety of starvival's ship functions it seems to bug out and still hijacks the repair option at ship techs, so you can only repair yourself with parts because it's trying to use the mods repair function still.
Other than that, if you decide to keep using it after going through the options, you can drop cost of spacing since they largely do the same thing, starvival just handles it more granularly.
I'd also make sure you go into the ship settings for technicians and at least drop the price of fuel, it's set at like 3.5x by default in there and makes it way too expensive to fly

Thanks for the long writeup anon but at this point I am kind of done with the mod.
