Even CD is a better space game kek
>>563480871cool but Im not buying that game until they actually finished the game
I saw Lin's face is clean in the trailer, did they remove her dirt in the new update?
>>563480871No character creation no buy>only 2 boring companionslmao
>>563482256nope, she still has her face dirty in game. which is a shame since she's even cuter without it.

>take over enemy ship in space>set it to home ship which triggers automatic undock>your new ship starts flying sideways at incredible hihg speed until you power up the engines at least one barI 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.
>>563482687Why the fuck she was clean in the trailer?
>>563483027unironically mogs sarah>>563483251bethesda jank doesn't only apply in game
huh, chargen update
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 speedMaybe 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.
fuck sff, all my homies hate sffI'm going to use the older version before he replaced the face mesh and face textures for literally every damn NPC
>>563483804genuinely don't get why he did the face changes, we just want bodies to actually work for fucks sake
>>563483804Before the update I just used BBL Morphs to tweak my grills with Enhance Companions mod.SFF changes too much including clothing and faces, turning the game into Bimbofield.
i want to eat sarah's ass>>563480871that's just a skybox. basically a .jpg
>>563484147He thought the neck seam was too annoying but the new versions of sff has even less sliders than before. dunno, the author is a schizo >>563484172>bimbofieldthere's nothing wrong with that though
>>563484147Modders never have restraint or taste
>>563484332>there's nothing wrong with that though
>>563484332Wouldn't even have that much of an issue if his faces weren't terribly made, I've pretty much made Fallout and Skyrim full of bimbos but goddamn does SFF need to work on his faces.
>>563486007You like these?
>>563486256he downgraded sff to have less sliders and then broke all compatibility with face texture and hair/beard or NPC replacer mods.dudes an idiot
>>563486007bimbos are the life force of a healthy modding scene. check fo4 and Skyrim's hot pages
>0.1 of players have this achievement
>Paradiso>This planet's nice, I'll fully explore it>It's full of Cliff Racers that one shot me>"Paradiso"
>>563486313todd definitely did something about the crowds. i only played the game on for a week on release, picked it up again now and i think they used to be way uglier and browner than they are now.
Is there a mod that makes painting ships easier? I just don't have the autism to mess with sliders on every single part until it looks good.
>>563488470>>>563166450
BBL sadly doesn't work with the new CharGenMenu
>>563488838You can group select and paint them all the same colors.
>>563488838StarUI ship builder seems to work ok and it has copy-paste functionality>>563490627Until one part doesn't have all 3 paint slots which leaves some other parts unpainted randomly
>missable achievementsAAAA FUCK YOU TODD
It's getting uglier the more shit I upgrade, the Taiyo cockpits are Neon only right? Also what do the double decket habs contain inside? Just random shit or do they have workbenches and stuff? It doesn't say in the description
>>563495193>the Taiyo cockpits are Neon only rightAkilla has some.Nova's 2x2 DD has Spacesuit, industrial and Weapon benches.
>>563495193The nova cockpit looks like phimosis lmaoToo bad it's one of the more useful inside>Also what do the double decket habs contain inside?I tried one 2x2x1 and it was just stairs with some random clutter along the walls
>Exploring new POIs on Kreet before dealing with Brogan and the Crimson Fleet>New POI>Level 20-something Enemy>Drops Legendary Beowulf>Get to Lodge and upgrade it to Refined>Legendary Refined Beowulf at level 5WTF. 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.
>>563495193i 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.
>>563496562Oh 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.
>>563496831if 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
>every other random derelict ship has everyone dead from some spooky shit that's never explained>also the old womanAre they recycling cut content, or is it just someone with issues at bethesda?
>>563495193>>563495838There'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.
why is she so mean bros
>>563497924daily reminder she is literally the worst companion in the game. could have been a cool depressed alt and what we got is over the top female reddit mod spewing meme phrases
>>563497261It gets way worse, too. The moment you start seeing some great builds and find out they were only possible using at least some parts from different mod shipyards it's over for you.
>>563499210She is even worse than that. The last thread posted a mod that makes her not a pussy if you decide to go unlawful, and they noted that her skills don't actually do anything because Bethesda fucked up.
>can't start DLC because there are no quest ships near Nirvana 1owari da...
>>563500691Make sure you're in Cruise Mode, most of the locations in this DLC require you to find them through that
>>563494159HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA
>>563485237Most of them can't help themselves and kept adding shitJust make one mod does what the tin says and do it well, then work another mod that maybe could work well with the first one
>>563494159Well anons did say they didn't want everything to be experienced in a single playthrough.
Suddenly Milli the Milliwhale teleported to my ship hours after I had finished the house sitting quest, I ended up just taking her home again and she stayed, and the owner is like she really likes you lmao
so they actually exist
>>563501050That happened to me a few days ago, I thought it was because of The Gang's All Here mod not dismissing her, a similar issue I had with Liga of Followers since that didn't properly dismiss Emma Wilcox.
>>563501019trvth nvke
>>563501159I'm using basically no mods but I did have Emma following me some time ago, but I'm sure that was before the Milli quest
>>563480745
>>563501369Terrormorph ate my rare earth pig.
God damn the Red Mile is just a waste of bullets or am I really just supposed to zoom it while jacked on drugs/the cola they sell there?
>>563502014Waste of time, even. Quickest way to deal with it is what you said.Todd really has to allow sins like gambling to give a little spice to the world.
>>563502014Yeah you're just supposed to run through it, the enemies there don't even give enough experience to be worth killing them. If you want to make it more interesting and you're on PC, get the Red Mile Terror mod
>>563502178Just 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.
>>563502014How 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
>>563502940It 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?
>>563503068I 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.
>>563502812Yeah, I play with it. But it's nice to have something native to the game as well.
>>563503310It is, I agree. I don't even see what would cause them to not put it in. It's not a content problem.
Which skill perks are actually useful and which ones are completely useless? I invested some points in some of the social stuff but it all feels so pointless/useless
>>563503535Todd just doesn't have in him to do "rape your corpse" demons and child trafficking anymore....
>>563500820No, that was a genuine bug. Fortunately I was able to fix it by uninstalling and reinstalling Terran Armada. Thank you Todd bloody bastard benchod
>>563503687Not 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.
>If you scan Kreet to completion the moment Barrett gives you the Chronomark, you won't get the Survey Data slate.>Have to go to space first, then come back and complete itAlso Holy shit, the Free Lanes added a POI right next to the Argos Mining Outpost.Fucking Spacers right next to us, and we're worried about the 6 Crimson Fleet people?
I love this game but the community are the most bitter, insecure little shits imaginable
>>563503687the meta is tech and combat
>>563504257He'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.
>>563505140>Terrab Armada,*Terran not "Terrab".
>>563504257It's like NMS, Crimson desert and Cyberpunk 2077 fans when they all went THE GAME IS GOOD THE GAME IS GOOD before the public caught on.
>>563505140I 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.
>>563503270gross
>>563503687Physical 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.>CombatYou 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. >ScienceThis 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.
>>563503687This 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
that's a big level

>>563511708did you go to the roof? There is an elevator to take you up there, and something will happen once you get up there.
I need a mod that increases the damage of the Rev-8 and removes the fuel/boost mechanic. It takes like 20 shots to kill lvl30+ enemies
>>563512150yep, went all around up there. found a couple of boxes even hidden on a crane. had the event you're talking of. did you 100% it?
>>563512791I wonder if it's these boxes behind the glass I can't get to.
>>563512590Supposedly the damage increases with the Laser and Heavy perks. But yeah, I would much rather have a small ship than a rover. I try to just fly over shit anyway as much as I can because zero planets have flat terrain.
>>563511543>thanks for the ship sucker>BLAM
>>563513654I remember there was a mod that removed rocks or most of them anyway and I'm this close to just finding it and installing it because driving is insane tedious to the point where I find myself just running everywhere (and jetpack boosting if there's low grav) instead, and going back to my previous post, the rinky dinky gun is basically useless at this point.
>wow, this new rook is really professional, follows orders, and hasn't failed even once to do the impossible>also our opponent, the secret police, have been really quiet and not done much against us lately>especially ever since we killed the last guy they sent to infiltrate us>yup, everything is coming up delgado
Man no wonder Sergeant Yumi needs help.
Muria should have had a pet squirrel
Haven't played since launch and I'm currently level 28. Should I buy the Narwhal space ship? I heard it has the best engine without going deep into the upgrade tree and requiring high levels.
>>563514830I was kinda hoping they'd figure it out but played along with it until they break your balls at some point in which you could either continue on with the fleet severing ties with the UC or become compromised and continue like that.
>>563515026I habitually jump over the roof just to not hear the "you'll be scaaan'd when you enter the city" for the millionth time
>>563516250My 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.
>>563517139Oblivion* fuck.
>>563516250I 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.
wasn't there supposed to be a compendium with this update? where can i see it? i have terran armada dlc but haven't started it yet
>>563513805>read that as "BLM" three timesI'm washed
>>563517692Open the status menu and press the Database button
>>563518030here's the thing, there's no database button
>>563516130Only 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.
What's your favorite space encounter and why is it the guy singing shanties?
>>563518076Should be at the bottom right of your screen, unless Astral UI changed the name of it. Are you using any outdated UI mods that's preventing it from appearing?
>>563518216that or the ghost ship until you find the alien and realize its just a whatever enemy that you shoot and it dies
>>563518336found the culprit googling around, undelayed menus for some reasons conflicts with the database, i had to disable it...
>>563512791i believe I did. Did you hit all the rooms (like the shower and bedrooms) in the main shopping building?
I don't know how Naughty Dog's game is going to survive now that Starfield is on PlayStation and both Exodus and The Expanse are on the horizon.
I just completed the worlds apart quest (when Barrett gets his powers) but didn't get the parallel self power......is my save fucked?
>>563521091Try going back to an older save and try to get it again
>Ah, you're admiring my decorative loot crate?>It's a tradition to have one in an extremely visible location if your room is at the end of a particularly long, linear series of corridors and challenges.
>>563520348It'll survive by the nature of being a TPS Action-Adventure game made by Naughty Dog. Sony is going to hype it up as their next big thing, and it'll sell millions of copies because those are studios are gay and retarded to normies.
>>563523526Kek
>>563518216I 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.
>>563518216Meeting Genghis post-quest. Broski is having so much fun in space.
>>563523526Was Skyrim the first Bethesda game to do this in such an obvious way?
>>563523526I've become grateful for the loot crate after encountering a new space station poi and wandering aimlessly before realizing it didn't have one.
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 14KIs there a way to reduce the price or fuel consumption based on jump disatance
>>563525730That and exit doors that let you off the ride
>>563515026All that and only 1000 credits. I get caught smuggling a single pamplet with va'ruun nonsense on it I get a 1500 credit bounty
is it worth putting any time in again or nahi 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>uninstallI'd like mods that remove the main story and add some survival elements and lots of combat.
>>563529264You 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.
>>563526531I 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.
>>563529264Someone 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. )
>>563530262Looking 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 wellThe 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 databaseis it time....do I finally do an outpost builder? Whats a good background for that?
>>563531614I 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.
If an old woman invited me to eat a plate of mystery food on a ship that looks like a garbage skow I'd politely decline then blow up her ship
>Want to put my pp inside Sarah>Have to go planet hopping>Have to rescue mystery meat kid>Now she totally doesn't want to adopt said kid >Now she wants to talk some more before ppingI'm starting to think this was a bad idea, it's like all the bad things about dating a divorced woman with kids and a cat with none of the benefits (sex)
>literally every other character in the game writes off starborn replies as weird coincidence or the player just being very confident>only delgado, the biggest retard in the entire game, recognizes it for what it is
>final loot chest>no x-techTODDDDDDDDDD
>>563533930Do you have Terran Armada? The enemies in it drop x-tech and you can build extractors for it after finishing the short questline, so you'll end up drowning in it eventually.

Is asymmetry the answer?
>>563534852I do, just haven't started the quest yet. I probably should get on it, because I do want to try that laser battle rifle and sniper. Already using the laser smg and it's awesome. Does it have any space combat? My ship is still kind of weak because I've put my points into mostly other stuff.
>>563535065inderasding
>>563535065won't it fly in circles?
>>563535948no, but it doesn't center on the engines, so flying it does look a little weird
>>563526531Add spacefaring economy after starvival and missions become profitable again.
>>563535417There'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.
what do you think
What are you supposed to do combat environmental affliction? Like, are you supposed to upgrade suits to resist certain conditions? Can one suit have multiple resistances? Do you have to have one suit per environmental hazard?
>>563536534Nice toilet seat, anon.
Are there any UI mods that have been updated yet? StarUI is still fucked it seems
>>563532285Industrialist, while seems to be a good RP fit doesnt really give me anything good for starting perks. Homesteader? Geology seems pointless though?

>>563536534Asymmetrical engines? Or is that just the perspective being fucked?
>>563536534Looks like something that should transform into a super robot
>>563537556perspective, however now that you mention that i might skew it around>>563537498thank you anon
>>563536534Add a second weapon. You only need 1 bar in grav drive
>>563537939nuh uh, w1 is 12 + fully powered engines is 9 + shields 6 = 27 out of my reactor's 25
>>563538039Wait... Am I a fucking idiot? Has grav drive always been excluded from equip power?
>>563538678you 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
Ho-ho, now that is a Big Boner!
>>563537124In 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.>>563538678>Has grav drive always been excluded from equip power?Yeah.
>>563537442>Geology seems pointless though?Yeah, geology is pretty useless. I would skip it unless you want it for role playing.
>>563535065Yes but that looks like a kitbashed hulk, unless that's what you were going for in which case nice job>>563536534Terrible color scheme but looks slick
>>563537442starting perks are so irrelevant that you should just pick whatever fits your rp best

Nice to know that these Hitman-esque missions can also take you to civilized areas instead of just having these people hold up in enemy basis.

this intimidation option should be available at all times
>>563558570Indeed, even outside of persuasion attempts. It should just be a static option for every NPC you speak with at all times.
how is Watchtower and McClarence creations working with the new update? I am downloading Free Lanes right now and deciding whether I should keep them enabled. I haven't finished either of them.
>cargo links still don't work when you sleep
>>563560258seem to work
>>563560750>cargo links still don't worklike, at all even.
>>563560750Can you set up the linked outpost crate as a producer output? If so, cargo links are completely irrelevant.
what the FUCK could possible be causing this?
>>563535065there I worked a bit harder on it, stroud klondike bar to the rescueI finally discovered the "module limit" doing this, can't believe that's actually a thing.
Is there a mod that fixes cargo links? Having to have like 4 cargo links in an outpost sucks
>almost three years since release>still no new faction or Ship manufacturer mods (not including star wars stuff)hmmmph
I just want a mod that removes helium cost for cargo link via systems.I sure do love having to use two outposts if the resources I want doesn’t have a helium deposit.
>>563565504Your Falklands bro?
>>563564081just bump it up to some ridiculously high number
>>563565504Stroud Premium Edition
I heard the PS5 version is crashing a lot, is this true?
>>563563813I also wonder this
Being a Starborn is a fate worse than death. Not only are you stuck in eternal groundhog day, you can't ever escape. Even if you die you're reborn into the loop all over again. Who the fuck would actually desire this?
>>563566998yeah but the world is like a sandbox for you

Whats the best mod so eating,drinking,sleeping actually matters?I dont want something as crazy as starvival, I tried that and it was too much
>>563571310I tried to find something not very extreme, but in the end just went back to todd's sustenance.
>>563571639I tried vanilla survival before but I don't remember it doing much
Pragmata is better than Starfield.
>>563572606Okay Jeffery
>>563571310>>563571639>>563572397Honestly the base survival system wouldn't even be that bad if they just had something a simple as different levels of positive/negative effects depending on how starved/dehydrated/exhausted you were instead of mostly binaries.
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.Then comes Starfield, a game where you have to roleplay, fill in the blanks yourself in some parts and that hurts their brain so they don’t like it.
>>563572756this is cope and insecurity

>>563572756Starfield holds your hand through 99% of the game and the remaining 1% is so simple to figure out even Journos could
>>563572994Hope they fix the dropping out of cruise crashing issue. That happens on all platforms
Any ASCDeimos enjoyers wanna show me their ships before I put one together myself? Restarted the game and only using trophy friendly mods so not much in the way of choice for ship expansion.
>>563572756Based and real
>>563572756you missed the "give me your shilliest defense of starfield" post, that was last thread

well it looks like i lost a couple hours worth of gameplay cause of bethesda's insanely fucking janky creation club.
>>563573883Sometimes when exiting cruise the game will freeze then crash to desktop. This happens on PC, Xbox and Playstaiton
>>563574498any discussions of it anywhere that I can read?
>>563566865>>563563813RESPOND I MUST KNOW
this thing fucksnot sure about bloodthirsty or furious, but every other part is fucking brilliant>>563574849negative, seems bethesda did not want the cargo system entirely invalidatedguess I'll be buying up all the resources a vendor has and just stuffing them in my ship and calling it a day as usual I guess
>>563532324my only encounter with her was when she landed on my shipbuilder pad and started repeating the call over and over again while her ship remained inaccessible.
>>563532324I just had an old woman cruising along invite me on board for some food. It was pretty clean inside though and she let me rob her shamelessly so I gave her a 1000 credit tip for stealing over 2,500 in cash out of her cargo hold and everyone was happy and I refilled the spaghetti in my pockets
>>563574498ffs that means another update is coming which will break all mods again lol
i didn't know Muria would be this short, i guess i will recruit her simply because she's the closest thing to my dream of fucking pinkchyuwu.
>I am literally space hitler, no joke, if this game's age rating would allow me I'd tell you I'd raped and eaten a toddler>however, hear me out...I found people who need me, and godoh I can already tell every possible outcome of this quest is going to annoy me

how am I doing brehs? her name is the morning glory
>>563584538What, do you expect them to gather around and clap when a stranger lands and immediately executes someone? Its not like they side with him once they have the full context. If you don't influence the votes its a tie between death/exile with the kid being the only one to want exoneration.
How TF do I give an outpost to a faction
>>563556528>only my possessions matter>Not my decisions and relations I made in life>Not my actions and their consequences Are you jewish perchance?
>>563585938Its a quest you'll get during TA.
>>563585719No, I expect an option to torture him until his mask slips. I couldn't even execute him with Create Vacuum. Also, where's the incarceration option?Hell, as dark as it is, the option to steal his outpost's supplies and ship and then revisit them three days later would've been kino.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.
Really do not know why people glaze No Man’s Sky when arguing about Starfield. No Man’s Sky doesn’t have more than 3 building types.
>>563585645>that weapon are at back while equipmentis front of it, blocking weapon's viewwhy?
How do personnel skills work on companions? They don't seem to transfer like ship skills do.

Retard here, should I do a thorough playthrough before or after doing the Unity/ first run?

>>563592029damn, good to know.I oughta learn how to draw, I want to make nasapunk stuff and astronauts doing cool shit.
>>563593061I just speed ran through the main quest, went through the unity before actually starting the game properly.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).
>>563593343That's what I was thinking too. Can I unlock all the space shouts in the first run?
Lads, has any of you used the Real Fuel creation?I'm tempted to get it because I still have 300 credits after getting trackers alliance.It looks like it actually adds strategy to ship flight, at least when grav-jumping.
>>563593585You can, just make sure that Barrett doesn't die.
>>563593735It was sam for me.
Yeah, its the players fault
>>563595275It is
wtf is causing this
Is it just me or is the captcha loading slower?>>563595678Try making a full save and relaunching the game. Loading from quick, exit and auto saves too much can lead to things getting wonky in this game.
>>563596027it was full on dead for like 20+ minutes just a little while ago, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's having issues now
>>563595275It'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. Cycles are advertised as different worlds, we got "sometimes something happens to constellation", where is the pirate timeline, the varuun timeline, the UC dictatorship timeline, the microbes killed everyone timeline, the matteo became the god emperor of man timeline?
>>563577849There are two old woman encouters. Sounds like you got the original grandma encounter,I'm talking about the creepy one where the inside of her ship is full of garbage and alien shit
>>563595275Post 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.
>To scan the fauna of Neon you have to take a lil dip under the rig>It's just endless water with some micro ledges to stand onI fucking hate this, the idea of endless deep sea with giant creatures in it bother me to no end. No, I'll never play Subnautica.
>>563595275Todd’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.
>>563596972And it was so important to the themes of the game they added a machine so you could take shit with you because it really didn't matter anyway
>>563595275>>563596972>>563597346The 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.>>563597435He 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.
She cute, probably smells like fish, though.
>>563596972Has Todd played muv-luv?
>>563597602This is why gamers must hang.
>>563593343>I just speed ran through the main quest, went through the unity before actually starting the game properly.I'm about to do this, anything I should know about before rushing it? Is there anything worth taking through to NG+?
>>563598643>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?
>>563598643Don’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.
>>563598928>quantum entanglement deviceI was only able to play the dlc for an hour, what does this device do and where is it located?
>>563599065Go to your room in the lodge, there will be a slate on the desk.You can read it and then build the QED (for a couple of simple industrial parts and some Quantum essence. It will make a storage chest so you can bring some things to NG+Captcha is very slow for me also.
>>563598643Andreja's outfitMercury Spacesuit Unmitigated ViolenceEternity's Gatesome main quest items if you get the short mq NG+ but you can live without them
>>563599065You get the option to build it once you complete the Armillary and it lets you bring like 50 kilos worth of shit to NG+ AKA your armor some guns and some resources>>563599060I 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.
lol at all those youtubers making tutorials for PS5 players
Can anyone here vouch for the Royal Galaxy suite? I tried Ascension and it was exactly as advertised and I thought I'd enjoy it but got bored of it after like 10 hours. I
>>563598928>You'll get a suit that, unless you ground the game to paste in NG, will replace anything you brought.All-in-one suits are a trap, they're easily outclassed by regular suits since you combine the stats of helmet, suit, and pack.Especially now that we can upgrade equipment/legendaries.
>>563599272>>563599462That’s lame, but gamers are impatient whiny little bitches that can’t live without their godroll weapons and need the lore broken to appease them. I only accept skipping the temple runs on NG+, because god damn, was that the fucking worst part to fully upgrade your power.I also have a slow captcha.
>>563599464My feed is full of those "DONT MAKE THESE MISTAKES" and "HOW TO GET THE MOST POWERFUL THING AND BREAK THE GAME" videos and they have tens of thousands of views... this is the last game that I'd want to metagame and break
>>563592807legit gorgeous
>>563598643ppl recommending you to do 10 iterations of the msq are idiots. stop listening to them. theres like 120 hrs of content in the game, dont waste time doing some speedrunning nonsense at the start of thatif you still after 120hrs + beating the main quest want more game then keep playing the msq. but its the worst part of the game and you'll most likely burn out
>>563591983>>563592139Use this achievement enabler instead if you don't want to be dependent on SFSE in the future, it does not require SFSEhttps://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1402Just drop the .dll into the Starfield directory and it just works. its not updated for free lanes but it doesn't need to be, it works for me>>563596027captcha is super slow this morning
God damn these new designs are hideous. Almost as bad as the Fallout 4 toilet armor. The base game had some strange designs but nothing this bad. Only one that looks good is the scavenger suit.
>>563601602They added another level of bot/proxy detection most likelyWho knows what it's doing, besides giving them more data to (probably) sell
>>563600257that algo slop exists chiefly because thats how normies play games. it's just about beating the game so that you can say you beat it, and doing it in the most efficient way possible makes sense when viewed through the lense of someone who just wants "to get there"
Red Dog's Enhanced AI still considered the best enemy AI mod?
The game should have more NPC owned ships that look more lived in
>>563602116I actually just switched over to it today but haven't played with it yet. I was using El Jefe Combat AI but I didn't really notice any difference to the vanilla AI. I suspect Starfield's AI is just braindead to begin with and all these AI overhauls are more placebo than anything. But still, it sounds interesting.
>>563597651I want her to bully me so bad
>>563602309awesome, let us know what you think of it. i liked how red dog made sure to make all the different enemies act differently in a logical way
>Killing the Disciples in the streets>All going good>Proceed to loot their bodies>See they killed the cutie Chunks Employee girl in the crossfire
huh
She may be mystery meat but boy do I love a girl with that eyeliner.
So I'm aware that Desolation is broken and not currently working properly due to a POI bug in the free lanes update. Anyone know if Bedlam is still working?
>>563603156Nazi Germany enthusiasts would probably be very happy about that Luger being in Starfield
>>563599060>What Bethesda should have donewas not do the starborn shit at all. They should have played to the strengths of their game system and designed a system where new star system clusters could easily be added, then made the alien tech some sort of gate system you have to discover (and others already did). But Todd had to Todd
>>563604184No, 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. The former should’ve emulated Earth more, with domesticated animals and earth-like diets, while the FC is more live-with-the-land that raises alien cattle and grows alien grain.
>>563601775i like the bottom right one you get from akila city, and the red one looks alright in black, but my fave is still the bounty hunter armour from original game.
What XP gain % feels just right for you? Saw a madlad the other day say that -30% XP was the sweet spot for them
>>563604721Maybe 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 mysteryThey 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.
>>563604184Starborn 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)>>563605175This. 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.
Mmm… artificially-flavored gelatin-onions cubes…
>>563605032The new save I started for Freelanes is at +45%, but it was not set with XP in mind. XP is usually not a concern, its grinding out the level checks that is annoying.
>>563606656>Those digitsGod damn anon you were so fucking close
>>563604721>there’s no real cultural distinction between the UC and FCare you joking? UC are generic corpo shill starfleet/starship troopers earth faction and FC are dont tread on me "i dont wanna pay taxes but i wanna do the same thing as u do"
>>563605869> the reason each side went to warVanguard museum> the main quest having actual consequencethe 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.
>>563607009That’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.
>>563607185>That’s still not a real cultural distinctionit is>Both of them eat lab grown food, both apparently raise alien cattle, both read the same literature, both eat the same cuisinewow, humans in a space setting have similar diet? riveting stuff.>both read the same literaturethis doesnt even exist in starfield. its like 1 page snippets here and there. but i am pretty sure they dont read about how to become rank 1 citizens.
>>563601775wdym? they all look alright, especially the bottom left>>563606656the fact that Chunk's are some of the cheapest "foods" you can find in starfield says all you need
>>563607047>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 inThat'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 museumThey 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 idealsyou 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.
just finished Terran Armadapretty good, basically the last fight of Crimson Fleet story made into a DLC
Any alternate start mods that just... work? Roleplayers Alternative Start looks super buggy based on the comments section, First We Crawl and No Ship Fast Start both say "Terran Armada might not trigger in a save started with this mod". Like... do any of them work right now with confidence?
>>563608353Roleplayers alternate works fine, ive started three characters since TA released amd had no issues.Its especially good if you're using stuff like starvival or economy mods so you can ensure you start out with a functional ship and enough supplies to get started
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.
>>563609453*attempt to exit cruise mode, not fast travel. despite flying at max speed for 30 minutes+ to your destination, exiting cruise mode only to rubberband back to your original starting point feels awful
How do I start Watchtower? Some people were saying it was on par if not better than any Bethesda DLC so I got it but I don't see it pop anywhere
>>563608556Did you ever try the Shipwrecked start anon? I was wondering if it was actually a good start or if starting with no ship was too miserable. Also I remember in the past that I had trouble finding the artifact out in the world to trigger the main quest
>>563605032+87% leveling pace is good, staves off the urge to cheese levels with adaptive frames/o2 boost/vytinium fuel rods.
>>563611153I've actually only recently come back to starfield to mod it now that the stuff I want actually exists. Depending on how it works it might be absolute CBT if you have to dig up a lot of resources since I imagine it strands you to a single surface map.As for the artifact I don't even bother. I think the main story and starborn shit are the worst parts of the game
I hated having low carry weight in Skyrim, but Reduced carry weight here in Starfield feels just right. Weightlifting is useful, and you tend to not spend too much time or distance away from your ship for unloading things. Thanks to the anon the other day for getting me to think about reducing it, small change that fuels the survival autism in a big way
Holy fucking cute. Amorous Adventures for Starfield when?
>>563605032for me it's +75%, everything cranked up except player damage. It makes combat feel way more lethal since you go down in a couple hits but normal enemies aren't bullet sponges
anyone download the recent fitgirl repack? whats the optional bonus content stuff? her site is blocked by my isp, so i cant check if she wrote anything about it on the site.
Lmao they still have some leftover placeholder TTS voice-lines in the game.Just did that random encounter where a ship instructor goes unconscious and the trainee panics and asks you to shoot the ship, board and help her.After undocking I immediately hailed them and got a very robotic voice line:>Training Ship: I still feel like I was hit by an Ashta. But I can get the ship back to port.Although they grav-jumped out before i could hear the full voice line.Also fuck Xbox for requiring me to hand over my ID just to upload clips/screenshots to be able to share them.
i'm really helpless at providing verticality for my builds, she's a bit too bulky for my tastes. maybe for the third iteration i will try to see if i can utilize the double-decker hallways in some capacity.

The default level gain speed feels absolutely glacial to me now.>>563618083Yeah, that should be right if you're trying to beeline it. There's lots of other stuff to get in that tree though if you want to do outposts, but they aren't needed for crafting if you just buy resources.

>>563620729Got some mod that reworks skills a little, nothing too intrusive, but it shuffles them around for progression purposes, allegedly.>>563620635Yeah I just want 1 point in it and then I'll put some points into Barter to get cheaper prices and then I'll start pumping Outpost shenanigans to try the new stash so I don't have to deal with the shipping lanes hopefully.>>563620115They have space dogs that sniff Va'ruunite shit. Don't ask how glowies do things, they just do
Starfield would have been better recieved if they released it earlier. Under the present US/Iran war, the UC/FC treaty looks fucking ridiculous. If Starfield had just been realsed a little earlier or a year later, I have no doubt it would have been a CD-level success.
>>563620115My question is why they're even illegal. Mainstream snekists already want to fucking murder everyone, so are the heretical writings just extra murderous?
>>563620386Look for Hatch
>>563622231tptb fear unaligned pilots are a few pages of snek kampf away from painting their ships black burning random heretics with particle weapons
>they still haven't fixed the bug where the game randomly drops to 10 FPS if you use DLSS or FSROkay. It's only been 3 fucking years.
the game will not allow me to upgrade an Tombstone and Beowulf to Superior from Advanced, I have the required x-tech and creds, and upgrading from refined to advance worked fine. Do some weapons still have a cap? It shows the stat block for a superior version but does not execute the upgrade.
>>563623223I was getting that, GPU usage just skyrockets to 100% for some reason, was DLSS the culprit? The only change I made was removing the bAlwaysActive=1 line from Custom.ini, I'm using DLAA btw.
>>563622086I don't see why that would make any difference. The UC/FC relationship has always been criticized for being pretty undercooked, not to mention the actual cultures themselves. I don't see the average person's perception of those things being drastically different even a decade ago versus now.
>>563620386Nobody knows how to do proper horror
>>563623457ah, you have to have the xteck on you instead of in a chest, even though it shows you exactly how much total xtech you own in the UI. The Todding continues.
>>563623482I read somewhere it was upscaling related. But I'm getting the bug right now and managed to turn off upscaling and it's still happening. I am literally getting 2 (two) frames per second with 100% GPU usage. According to this obviously ChatGPT generated thread, running the game in DX11 fixes it.https://steamcommunity.com/app/1716740/discussions/0/759554831917633889
>>563623885The other thing I did was get rid of all the UI/HUD mods like Faster Favorites, I'm just running StarUI with the patch some dude made now, I just remembered. Don't know if that did something but I assumed it would be bad anyway.
>>563623601Why do you keep repeating this?>The UC/FC relationship has always been criticized for being pretty undercookedNo, I've pretty much never seen anyone complain about it but you. You, who also demonstrates lack of basic understanding of the setting. >>563607997
>>563624229After more googling I found this thread on r*ddit.https://old.reddit.com/r/NoSodiumStarfield/comments/1q6oqlp/warning_january_nvidia_drivers_can_cause_huge/Seems the january nvidia update broke DLSS in Starfield. I updated my drivers to the latest version released in March so I'll see if that fixes it.
Starfield needs to have it's own Spice Girls tier in game band
>>563627887You honestly think Bethesda would pay for that. Not just in the short term but ongoing via residuals and licensing
>oh nononono what if their own robots we can easily set on them with a push of a button and defeat them for good would accidentally kill some of their rear line noncombatants they might or might not even have>we must let them continue their indiscriminate attacks on us unimpeded while we contemplate the universal injustice and suck on our thumbs hoping some way to stop them without doing anything conductive to actually stopping them would come out because that would make me feel badAm I supposed to buy that or what
>>563625426You 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.

>>563622231The 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.

>>563634736Thanks trainwiz, I was complaining about unfun supercruise speed as well.
>>563587484I'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.
if you shoot sarah while she's complaining about you looting too much stuff, she stops talking.

>>563642518>you can seamlessly play garbageIt 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.

>>563642518When is NMS going to update to add fun?
>>563642745I used to gain entry into Diamond city by shooting Piper from a distance which lets you skip the entire dialogue. Bethesda, bethesda never changes.
You know what would be a funny mod? adding an absurd amount of orbital debris field POIs to Earth's orbit since in real life our orbit is cluttered with roaming fields of floating garbage.Or adding a random chance to suffer catastrophic damage while in orbit of a populated world due to these bits of junk hitting your ship like a railgun slug
>>563643140year ago the site was compromised, i guess when the staff "fixed" it they really didn't.
>>563645778Would've made more sense than the current omnious space clouds with lightning 'n shiet, but I guess they couldn't trust their target audience to understand it when something damages their shields out of nowhere
>>563642518Call me when you can get up out of your cockpit in your starship whilst in space and walk around your ship.
>>563645778I also read Planetes
32 hours in into my current playthrough and I've gotten my first repeat POI, this update was a godsend, or should I say a Toddsend
>>563642518Stop 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.
Japanese localization confirms the correct pronounciation is Andreya which means she's a balkanoid.
StarUI fixed yet?
>>563650473Two more weeks
>>563647313I haven't played NMS for years, but I think they added that in the Voyagers update with corvette class ships.It's basically the ship building from Starfield.
>>563587484>>563650159>glazethere is a word that you can use without making yourself look like an idiot.it's called "praise"
I want seamless atmospheric entry from the space box please Todd
So is terran armada actually any good? Or is noone playing it cause they don't want to break their mods?
>>563655596It's basically a paid mechanic, there's almost no story. You find a Terran PoI in space, destroy ships, infiltrate a capital ship, kill a bunch of robots and officers, activate self-destruction sequence and fly away. Good EXP, good loot, lots of action. Just like the final fight of the Crimson Fleet quest but now repeatable.
>>563650438The voice actress mentioned that when they first showed her the concept art she got told that Andreja's CroatianSauce: Kinda Funny stream with the voice actors
>>563655996What paid mechanic? Free Lanes is its own update that the DLC glomps on DID SOMEONE AIRSTRIKE THE CAPTCHA SERVER HAMSTER OR SOMETHING
>>563655596It'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 $10 DLC instead that you could virtually get for free if you purchased the Starfield Premium.I expect Bethesda to add more to it in the future as paid creation content, because if you look at the short cartoon they put out for it, there was some guy in it that from what I can tell so far doesn't show up.
>>563656613Incursions.
>>563656985Eh I'd say it's more of a feature/activity for endgame rather than a (pure) mechanic since they also have to design and make the assets, hire voice actors, and integrate the content with a reasonable hook etc., but I get youI kinda prefer this Free Lanes + Terran Armada approach of add a new mechanic plus whatever content that would support it (new space encounters), then add a new bespoke paid story/activity to extend the world/lore using said mechanicAlso the 10$ price tag is reasonable
>>563657509They pretty much did this with the Tracker's Alliance content. Add a new mechanic for free, and sell add on content that utilizes the mechanic in the Creations store or whatever.
>>563653767It’s called glazing because it’s overhyped trash
>>563658607then use the word "overhype" or "over-praise". but if you want to make yourself look like an idiot by associating yourself with people who don't know how language works, go ahead.
>>563650159The best thing about NMS is the trailers. The game itself is shit. I tried it after the internet kept saying it was Todd Murray's second coming. But I found more or less the same game that released in 2016.
No, the best thing about NMS is the soundtrack by 65daysofstatic. Sometimes I even want to stop being a lazy cunt and mod it to Starfield.
>>563647313they did with this>>563652746
>>563657509this format of update is fine if they could manage to up the frequency of releases. Which they wont.
>>563659117they 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.
>>563659324patrician taste, NMS soundtrack is absolutely goated
>>563660103case 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.
New player with a few questions/observations>As soon as I got to the lodge I turned around and went to do something else, i assume that getting to the lodge is the equivalent of defeating the dragon in Skyrim, am I correct?>Is weapon/suit engineering the equivalent of smithing+enchanting?>Do I need a base and mines at all or can I just buy materials?>I often struggle to see the enemy amongst the environment, is this normal? Are there thermal sights?>Can I teach new perks to my companions or are they fixed as is (so my adoring fan can't ever reach higher carrying weight)
>>563658872you might be clinically retarded
>>563661403I'm not part of the group who decided that adjectives and adverbs should be interchangeable. Nigger.
>>563661312>i assume that getting to the lodge is the equivalent of defeating the dragon in Skyrim, am I correct?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>Can I teach new perks to my companions or are they fixed as is (so my adoring fan can't ever reach higher carrying weight)https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/10691?tab=description
>>563661312getting 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. Finishing this batch of quests leads to the starborn stuff, so I would recommend at least getting all 4 companions
>>563661547Were you part of the group who decided to clip hyperbole in half and run with the new "hype"? You're insulting the language by doing that, consider using more apt terms such as compliment or praise.
>>563661547glaze is slang retard-kun, as in circle jerk over something so much you're basically glazing it with cum. >I'm not part of the group who decidedAnyone who speaks the language is you mong. It's always funny that people who say others don't know how language works are pedants who think it's static
>>563661312>i assume that getting to the lodge is the equivalent of defeating the dragon in Skyrim, am I correct?Oh anon, I can't wait for you to see the equivalent of Word Walls.
Holy fuck they do exist. This one is inside the ship at Hopetech.
>>563661751>to clip hyperbole in half and run with the new "hype"what the fuck are you talking about you absolute inbred retard lol, hype does not come from "Hyperbole">>563662037a slang that is used predominantly by retarded teens, blacks and people who can't differentiate between elementary school grammatical meanings of a word, this is why they come up with "slang" that is based on what the nigger's understanding of a language is, ergo, ebonics. this is why "low-key" is also an adverb to you people.
i just boughted starfieldwhat do i do?
>>563662708buy as many bethesda bucks as possible, todd needs your money

>tfw you go too far with making the game a more hardcore survival experience and now playing for more than 30 minutes feels like more work than fun
Renfail has died
>>563663635I learned to stop doing that long ago with Skyrim, spent years playing with Frostfall installed before one day realising it's actually not fun and slows down the game too much
>>563663635I like the basic needs/survival modules for this game desu, and 99% of the time you're having the food/drink buff active and its very rare you'll end up without shit to eat.
>>563663584>If you want to melt your frames for some ship design modulesThe good news is that a future update will move the location into space so it doesn't kill NA's framerate>>563663921t. guy who got btfo by him being able to afford to have two houses just from streaming games
>>563663584>retard took the jab at todd in good faith and thinks you should be paying for modsthe state of this place
>>563662307I just get them from POI chests.
https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/16525 it's up
>>563650159>statement of fact about the game's features, which starfield lacks>bro ur glazing no cap fr fr skibidi
I think I just found the first planet I want to settle on, Nesoi. It has oxygen, water, uranium, dinosaurs and palm trees
Did they add variants of the POIs so you're not finding the same dead bodies and slates across the entire galaxy?
>>563666920KEKfuck no.
>>563662307pretty sure they start dropping at or around level 30. i had none before that, and now at 33 i found two of them
I think I messed up with choosing Royal Galaxy as my gameplay overhaul, I expected vanilla+ but scanning and skill trees dont even feel like vanilla anymore - but it feels nicer to play than Ascension did. and so the search for the right balance continues
>>563662307do you mean the ranged damage one, or those mods in general? i find they're kind of hidden in places or on shelves and stuff. in the huge ship stop POI, i found one in a rubbish bin in a bathroom, another on a shelf in another bathroom, and one in a shipping container outside. they seem to be placed like clutter objects
At Hell's Gate is just too silly and poorly made compared to the rest of the bethesda CC shit. Funny to see an official asset rip mod that has the same level of quality as those chinese asset rip mods tho lmao
>>563666920no. What they should have done is made all POI lore absolutely generic.
>>563669414It's a free creation, so it makes sense that Kinggath didn't put their A game into it
>>563669414It was a promotion for Doom, it wasn't meant to be citizen kane
They shouldn't be able to scan me
sarah's pussy is ready for me
>>563670870No ship that small should have a cloaking device
>>563670870if you cruise into a far orbit you can skip scanning and land
>>563671117Who are you? The cloaking device police?
Is there a recommended amount of money one should have before messing around with building a ship? Also is there a good ship (any class) to purchase to then build off? I'd like to keep the Frontier and Razorleaf as they are
>Have an entire port to land the ship>Park it all the way to the backhuh?
>>563670423>citizen kanehave you ever actually seen citizen kane
>Exploring Nesoi>Find new POI>Filled with high level Pirates>It's a training ground>Get over 50 guns and thousands of rounds of ammoThis felt like playing CoD with all the little corridors and sandbags and the literal shooting range in the middle of a desert
>back from another adventure, time to throw all of my loot into my massive 20k capacity ship so I can deal with it later>container is at max capacity
>>563673165the crafted building materials are deceptively heavy. i've started to put them in another couple of boxes in the ship, and just have base resources in the ship cargo.
Apparently a Taiwanese game rating site has listed a Switch 2 port of Starfield, though I can't access that site myself. https://nintendoeverything.com/starfield-nintendo-switch-2-rating-has-now-appeared/
>>563673165Later is now.
>>563673408No way the Switch 2 can run this game unless they crank everything down beyond their lowest possible settings and make it look like fullbright melted Playdoh.
>>563673639>make it look like fullbright melted PlaydohExactly what Nintonddlers like

>why am I getting bounties for being a pirate?>why do the companions hate me for murdering people so I can steal their stuff?>this game is bad and I HATE ITthe PS5 release for Starfield has given me Déjà vu of the first month when this game first released

>>563675243>goosepuke.jpg
>>563675016>everyone in the galaxy knows you stole a mug >every other quest is "be messenger boy because radio signals aren't fast enough for space" hmm
>>563675016>why am I getting bounties for being a pirate?no one has ever said this>studio has a history of companions not reacting to what you do and being your ally no matter what>breaks the trendof course people would react, they had the same outrage and incredulity when ubisoft started fucking around with not letting you kill civilians and even animals throughout the asscreed series
>>563676130>studio has a history of companions not reacting to what you do and being your ally no matter whatYou 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?>when ubisoft started fucking around with not letting you kill civilians and even animals throughout the asscreed seriesYou mean since the very first game where it would desync you if you started a civvie killing spree?
can someone help me understand POIs or the "land anywhere"are there certain structures that can appear only on random points or should i always land on the marked point on planets
>>563676094>radio signals aren't fast enough for spacethey literally aren't, your ship travels faster than light
oh and how does ship assignment work with the skills
>>563676759It'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.
>>563676094You do know radars get weaker over larger distances (inverse square law) despite traveling at the speed of light? It’s literally more practical to prerecord something and then hop onto a ship equipped with the literal magic dimension-warping device to personally deliver the recording to a radio station.
>>563676528>fallout 3 was my first bethesda game because I'm 12I know>a few companions that require evil karma totally nullifies the fact that supposedly "good" companions would shoot civilians and town guards alongside youur dumb>I have no concept of how the desync on killing civilians and animals has changed across the asscreed series because I started with 3I know
