Support NeoGAF

Spoiler

Because I was actually doing the Ryujin quest line at the time, I some extra dialogue options for that mission. I spared Juno and sent her off into the galaxy to explore. But, I also talked the two corpos into letting it happen to spare themselves the paper work. I flew them back to Neon, they were on my ship for a bit because... well, you know - I got distracted.

Unrelated, I just built my first outpost to act as a storage facility. Now I gotta start farming some resources so I can add to my base and make sure it can hold everything I want it to. 25 hours in, and it feels like I'm just about to exit the early game. Fucking wild.

Handled Juno the exact same way you did.

I built two outposts to do the mission of delivering x units of Titanium to Jemison only to find out that I needed additional perks because I can't find Titanium available for farming on planets that do not have extreme environments. So been slowly putting some perks into science, but I have a ways to go.

But on that outpost on Jemison I did build my own landing pad which enabled me to build my ship there and have access to a lot more parts than the various ship services.

The perks let you build more outposts, yeah? I think I'm restricted to 8 at the moment; I can see me needing more than a few mining outposts.

Oh, as in all the parts from the different vendors, or did it include new parts entirely?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

same

 

[manfestival]

Are building outposts worth it? I see the option but I am like 20 hours into the game and not even sure if I should bother. Also finally upgraded from the frontier. I have 250k credits but not sure what to spend it on aside from ammo..

 

[Topher]

Not sure about number of outposts (probably) but my limitation is planets with extreme conditions. Have to have a perk for that and it way down at the bottom of the Science perk list.

Oh, as in all the parts from the different vendors, or did it include new parts entirely?

Various vendors, but also a better selection overall. Now, if you go directly to Nova Galactic on Titan there will still be Nova stuff you can't get anywhere else (like my ships cockpit). But say I'm on New Atlantis then the list of parts is far more limited than on my own landing pad. So building/buying direct from the vendor will get you the best selection of their stuff but building from your own place gets a better selection across all vendors, if that makes sense.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

We had romance options in Skyrim as well.

Yeah, I played that game entirely with Lydia. Never ran into that.

That's what I would prefer.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I should've really just gotten the lone wolf trait, I've played 70 hours now without any companions lol

 

[SJRB]

I should've really just gotten the lone wolf trait, I've played 70 hours now without any companions lol

Yeah I gonked the traits as well.

To be fair you probably need a first playthrough to fully understand the concepts of the perks and what they entail. When I booted up the game I picked no traits because I was super unclear about the pros and cons of a lot of them and how significant they are because I had zero reference or background info.

Like that 500 per week rent for the super mansion sounded insane until you play and realize all you need to do is sell two extra Maelstrom rifles, lol.

 

[Buggy Loop]

It was never hidden, they mentioned before that planets and moons are actually there if you can see them because of accurate orbits and such, the ships just don't travel fast enough in-universe to do this, you'd have to travel several times the speed of light to make traversing even the solar system not supremely boring (it would take 33 minutes to travel from earth to jupiter at lightspeed).
The grav drive doesn't really accelerate the ships faster than light either, it just creates little wormholes to move ships between points; fun fact, developing the grav drive is the reason why earth is dead.

I guess if the game used more fantastical tech for space travel, they'd allow probably FTL travel speeds for travel.

There's solutions to all of these. You'd have to travel several times the speed of light, of course, they all do, all of the space "sims" do, in Starfield you literally jump thousands of years with a witchcraft "grav drive". What's the tweak to make it travel FTL. We're discussing details here, not feasibility. Who cares about the lore of grav drives, wormholes or not. It's not a reason to limit FTL.

Here's Elite Dangerous super cruise

I think the traits in general are a little odd. I got 2 of mine removed in dialogue in the first 20 hours and they were never a factor. The 3rd one, someone offered to remove it but I decided to keep it even though it doesn't really do much. You could just have 0 traits and be fine.

Damn, I'm in Akila right now, gotta try this tonight before they patch it!

Yeah, I miss the immersion of super cruise. Watching the planets and stars go by is such a chill moment. Definitely an opportunity missed, imo.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Sure, if you throw out lore you can do anything, like I said if they were using more fantastical tech for movement they'd probably allow FTL travel that you can see, but it doesn't fit the lore.

Who cares about the lore of grav drives, wormholes or not. It's not a reason to limit FTL.

Well, the people creating it do, might as well have the eagles drop frodo off at mount doom, because who cares about lore reasons when there's more convenient options.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

This stuff is Skyrim isn't patched yet.

It is somehow fundamental to how trader NPCs work.

Yeah, but usually a little more hidden than a puddle in the street, right? I thought their containers were typically out of bounds.

You travel without grav drive somehow between planets, you just see your ship "travel" slowly towards there. Your character doesn't age. GAME BREAKING. You think Bethesda cares about these details?

Anyway, hold on to that limitation of lore

Modders will add this early 2024, 100%

 

[vaibhavpisal]

They will probably move it around. Only to found again.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

They care about some details and not about others, like all game developers; it's clearly possible but they don't allow it, so yes they care.

Modders will add this early 2024, 100%

...Ok?

 

[adamsapple]

They will probably move it around. Only to found again.

They'll move the container under the building, or the container is actually an NPC with his head underneath the ground like the trains in Fallout 3 / New Vegas lol

To be honest I think you answered your own question space sim I agree with you they could have done it but after putting in 30 hours in this game it’s not a space sim it’s just a fun Bethesda game idk why people just can’t let it go it’s not gonna be a space sim their not gonna make any updates to change this into a space sim it’s just a Bethesda rpg that’s it

 

[Roberts]

So after finishing the Crimson Fleet questline, I moved on to UC Vanguard one and it's just as captivating and fun. The coolest thing that it feels like a totally different genre. If CF was all about feeling guilt for being undercover, this is more like Starship Troopers/Alien crossover with more action. It's also informative about the past and what happened there.

I have only done the UC Vanguard and Freedom Collective ones yet and UC was by far the better of the two.

The end of Sarahs companion mission is like a trip to Primark with my wife, everytime I think its over she wants to look at something else!

The way they did it in Starfield is miles better. Wouldnt hurt them to add the option for people to spend 6 houra flying in a straight line if they want to, but that would get boring fast for most of us. Personally I think the way they handled travel in this perfect, I spend plenty of time flying around shooting shit, collecting minerals from asteroids, and hailing randoms. I dont need anything more than that

You don't fly 6 hours in a straight line in the examples Buggy Loop provided. Not even minutes. It is just a super cruise where you see the bodies in space move as you traverse. I agree it would be better if folks who wanted that immersion like myself had the option. Thank God for modders.

 

[R6Rider]

I've decided to hold off on playing for awhile. Once more mods are out then I'll probably dive in again with a brand new character.

Will be interesting to see which mods become the most popular and what kind of overhauls people will create.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Gonna try the glitch out for the ammo. Kind of awful how this game dishes out ammo. I wish enemies had access to the same weapons I do. Instead they all use the most generic ones, with the same 2-3 ammo types.

 

[hlm666]

Just went to load it up and triggered a 2.7GB update (gamepass) anyone know what it does?

What I need are fewer lines of dialogue about "why are you carrying so much stuff?" and more QoL options to auto-eat food if low on health, auto sell (or at least auto-bin to the ship/companion) scrub weapons/suits, and auto pick-up credits, digilocks, and ammo. Let bodies have nothing or just some rare/epic loot and story notes.

hahahaha they say it to me what feels like every time i pick something up, even ammo which is weightless

edit: The patch didn't seem to break the dlss/fg mod at least, hopefully the next one will break it because the game will have native support then.

Not gonna lie, that is a fuckin' bad-ass mustache and I wish I could carry one like that.

That's pretty close to the look I was going for, but I think he pulled it off better. I think my character needs to go to Enhance and lose about 30 lbs. Maybe dye my hair too.

Lockpicking mini games need to die already. It's not like I won't be capable of solving the puzzle. It just slows you down and breaks the pacing.

It should be a skill check with a progress bar based on the lock difficulty. So you can't lockpick while being shot at.

I want to make a build like this but I also wanna do space ship and outpost stuff.

Is there a max to the amount of ammo you can carry?
