Starfield is the first new universe in 25 years from Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4. In this next generation role-playing game set amongst the stars, embark on an epic journey to answer humanity’s greatest mystery.
20230905 Starfield (RPG Singleplayer Space Open World Sci-fi )
It's Fallout In Space. Or maybe it isn't. I don't know because I haven't played it yet, but nobody else was making a thread.

Woo! SPACE
Please explain this @Librarian's ghost
Tab (on PC) and select SHIP quadrant, I think it's lower left? Might be upper left. You'll end up on the ship menu, which I'm sure has a hotkey like quest log and inventory I just never bothered looking it up. Press C or whatever it says on that screen (hotkeys listed in lower right) to look at the cargo hold. You can now put things in the cargo hold and take things out from your inventory like you would any of the companions inventory or a random container.
It's only supposed to work when you're in close proximity of your ship though; at least that's what the tutorial popups said. I've not tried to do it when I'm neck deep in an facility clearing out pirates several hundred meters from my ship.
There's also a panel immediately behind the Frontier's pilot chair on the port bulkhead that will let you interact with the cargo hold as if it were a normal container as well.
... I've already got a selection of mods ready to install
I have not progressed the main story very much. I did make sure to study Uranus though.
I've not encountered any showstopping bugs. I have encountered some very minor issues related to open worlds and procedural generation that make me smile because some things never change.
Like, I took a non-intuitive route to what I figured would trigger a cutscene and conversation with a character, but it was a time the character talking to me was trying to go bed, which was in another room. So I surprised the game and while the conversation and dialogue and everything happened as it should I can hear it all, I was literally talking to a close up of a wall because that was between me and the character talking to me.
Also an animal NPC stuck floating in the air and frozen.
But on the other hand I dig some of the options there and am slowly making the some impressive bang bangs that seem to give me the edge despite not putting skill points towards combat skills yet.
I should probably just do more main quest stuff to advance and get better gun drops but I'm enjoying seeing how much I can improve the basic Maelstrom rifle.
It definitely doesn't work everywhere. I don't know if it's distance-based, or if you're more than one load screen away, maybe both.
Steam Live: Azraith PSN: AzraithDeMitri
I just tried and it doesn't work for me while within direct eyeline of my ship (about 300 meters away, no loading zones between us).
I've only done it outside the ship when I'm standing under it. I've not even tried from further away.
ALSO if you land somewhere with a landing pad and a Merchant kiosk on the pad, you can sell at that kiosk directly from your ships inventory.
But I think you have to be pretty damn close to your ship to do it.
I am eagerly waiting for the mod that lets you move items between yourself and your companion without having to talk to them first. Just make it accessible in the regular menu.
and i was like uhhhhh i got a gun here that shoots fire bullets, let's see how it likes that?
Spoiler Alert, it did not like that, bullshit bypassed. Honestly deathclaws were much much scarier at low levels.
There a bits im not a fan of, like i was really hoping for a No Mans Sky or Freelancer approach to space and travelling through it, but ho boy they is a lot that i do enjoy.
Spaceship building in particular is really satisfying. My end goal is to remake In Amber Clad, and it is extremely cool that it's very possible in what they've put together here.
I think my next real goal is the Starship Design skill.
I'd like to grab the skills to learn the various equipment mods too, but if we're being honest I have fuckin no idea what to grab in the first tier of Science, I guess maybe Medicine just because it's not totally pointless.
edit: although it seems like maybe your crew can open things up for you if they have the relevant skills? But i have no idea how/if that works.
Every other tree has at least one clear winner, and then you've got trees like Tech where I'm invested in four skills in the first tier
Geology is good to get early as the next tiers require you to pick up lots of resources. When maxed you get random other rare resources from every node.
I rarely manually zap rocks, honestly
If you open the scanner while flying your ship (not sure if the game tells you or not, I found it by accidently fumbling a button in a fight, same key as the handheld scanner on PC) you can cycle planets in the system and then hold R to travel to.
If you have a mission selected/actively tracked that takes you to another system, you can travel to that system the same way.
I don't recall if I tried selecting a landing sight on a planet this way, or landing at places with an active mission or not.
Everything just feels awkward and obtuse.
tbf that is definitely the bethesda trademark. skyrim default UI...... wooof
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
F to open scanner and then E to cycle, like you're cycling ships to target in a fight I think? I wanna say it's hold R to travel to what's selected. Or maybe in scanner mode you have to point your ship at highlighted destination to select it. I'm at work so I can't double check it for a while.
i agree I just think here there are so many more systems that have to be constantly engaged with.
Oh boy
Ah well, it's like a throwback to playing Fallout 3 and New Vegas on 360 lol

It is a cool ship! It has an armory to hang all your guns up! Only downside is it is pretty purely for combat and has no crafting stations. I wish I could use the base as my own base. Real bat cave vibes down there with a nice bedroom.
I’d heavily encourage anyone on the fence to get this on game pass first. If you told me this was a remaster of a follow up to Skyrim that came out two years after skyrims release, I’d believe you.
dad no, oh god no dad
