Try the minigun, then try use it as an outboard motor to move around at high speed. Was using it in a zero g space station fight and killed myself on a wall or something, was lots of explosions so maybe i hit something explosive aswell.

Currently playing Storage Wars inside Starfield. This game has lootboxes inside the game. Pay 1000 creds for an abandoned storage locker and I got a med pack!

I say youre good to go. I think it looks crazy good on the S and it runs well too.

Literally runs the exact same, just a lower base resolution of 1440p compared to 4k on the X.
Getting a Series S and gamepass to play Starfield is genuinely one of the best deals around.

For anyone one looking for that Han Solo feeling, if you cause some chaos security guards will chase you all the way to your ship’s landing pad and fire at your cockpit as you take off.
You’ll even see them in the third person take off cutscene. It’s freakin wild.
Gives off such a sick vibe if you’re playing as a “wanted” character.

I'm stuck in an endless loop of redesigning my character and my ship and I just can't get anything done.

That and the Max Payne 1911 pistol have been my primaries. Consider putting some points into Ballistics or Shotgun Certification.
Like in Fallout 4, I spend a lot of time on tinkering with my weapons and modding them. Maxing out my carrying capacity was priority one (never had to do that in a BGS game before).
Game is fun but super uneven. Seriously lacking polish.
There's aspects of it that are amazing - aesthetically, the music, the perks are interesting, main quest seems solid.
Some of it is just okay - gunplay is better than FO but nothing great.
Some of it just plain sucks - space stuff just seems like a waste of time, the map and inventory are inexcusably awful, everything around the UI just seems half baked or poorly thought out.

Made a new ship today, got 3 ships of my own now, one for combat (this one), one for a base of operations, and one that's purely a massive contraband cargo hauler, also for carrying resources for crafting (has cargo space of around 4500!)
This game continues to stun me visually on the Series X.

They don't "foreclose" it, they just refuse entry to the house until you pay them a 500 credit installment, it never gets taken away from you

Ohh, ehh that's kind of a bummer. You can manually foreclose it yourself right? It literally says that in the missions description.
It says pay 500 weekly or let the bank foreclose your house. Ether way you have to visit them.

Finally got a chance to start it.
Boy it's aggressively fine. Maybe I'm just anesthetized to the same goddamn game Bethesda has been making for 20 years now.
The core gameplay loop hasn't changed that much from decisions made since Oblivion. Todd Howard is quoted as saying they've been making the same game for years, so it's not exactly a radical take.
The RPG elements in story building and decision making are nowhere near as deep as FONV or BG3, the exploration isn't as broad as No Man's Sky or Elite Dangerous, the first and 3rd person combat is ruidimentary compared to a litany of combat specific shooters that already exist.
It's just a shame that, once again, I'm more excited for a few years from now to see what the mod community does to expand the mechanics that are already there than I am to pick up and play what's already available. I'm already frustrated with trying to turn in a quest and watching the person slowly float into the air, clip out of the building, and then realize that there's no way I can complete the quest.

You can abandon the mission, which cuts off access to the house, and you lose everything currently inside it

I personally asked for a refund, 40 fps outdoors and 70 fps indoors with a framerate that goes up and down is unacceptable for me... The game is beautiful, but clearly not enough to justify such performance on an RTX 3080 and a 10700k @ 5.1Ghz...

Did anyone take the Adoring Fan perk? Love that its the same model of character from ES and even the same voice actor lol
These things are exactly what Tom Cruise uses to get high in Minority Report

I felt like if I didn't bring in the Adoring Fan then I wasn't getting the full Bethesda experience. lol.....his dialogue is actually pretty amusing.

Yes! He's amazing, just having him in your ship to randomly say things cracks me up every time. I take him out with me sometimes as well, never a dull moment.
(he's actually decent in a firefight)

As soon as I read that he could bring you occasional gifts I was like "Well, hop aboard fam!"
So far he hasnt given me shit
However he is a useful extra "storage container." I dump extra minerals and junk on him when the cargo hold and captains locker are filled lol

Im wondering if I let him tag along that raises the chances he'll give me presents?

I’ve finally figured out how to fully survey a planet, but only after I looked it up on the internet.
Is there an actual tutorial mission that I missed?

Yep, he's a permanent fixture in my crew, he always has lines when landing or taking off. It's amazing just how much unique dialogue they recorded for him lol.

Hmm, could be I suppose! I don't recall him giving me much of anything yet, maybe once but I forget what it was.

If it weren't for those bloody loading screens, this game would be utterly amazing in almost every respect and its even got SEGA Saturn in it. Love it

Nope. You just have to figure it out on your own. One word, "biomes." Shows a percentage on the map.
There's a few tricky critters as well. Birds and fish.

This game, man. This game! Few hours ago I spotted a ship landing so of course I went to investigate. Boarded the ship, crew seemed friendly, spoke to the captain and he's like 'you're late'. I had an option to lie so I lied and he gave me a package full of goodies. Credits, weapons etc. Now I'm flying, minding my own business and the actual currier that was supposed to pick up that package wanted either 10k or my life. Needles to say, he's no longer with us.
And now I'm exploring a derelict, alien infested ship with cool back story. Yeah.

There’s so much weird shit to find in this game. I just ran into a ship that asked me to come onboard to take a survey from CNN (whatever it’s called). I took the survey and they gave me a bunch of snacks as a reward.
