Starfield, Bethesda Game Studios Upcoming Title Options

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

I'll share my modlist tonight, it's at or over a hundred I think.

Goodness. Lol

Wait, what? This is a thing?? I don't remember using spacebar in ship combat. Whoa, that might be a gamechanger for some of these tougher ship fights.

Yeah the difference is insane. You lose speed, but it fires your thrusters and you can bank sharply to pursue a ship.

I need to try this, flying was my least favorite thing in Starfield. (loved everything else, except would like to return to some earlier place to explore stuff I missed and can't figure out how to do it).

I give up on flight for now. I hate that feeling like I'm a sucky n00b, and it's not even my fault. We've got like 8 seconds to figure how to fly before gettin attacked, come on now. Before then, the view as we orbit the moon is so peaceful. LOVE IT.

Skye found the hatch to the miner's quarters, found the cutter she dropped, and is now walking all over the moon. She found a few ore deposits a few days ago so.....time to get rich, I hope.

Woo Hoo, what is this about? I didn't get this quest at all, was this just exploring?

Yeah, sounds like she was exploring Vectera (the place where the game starts).

So what mods are y’all playing with for Starfield. Not really asking about equipment so much as gameplay tweaks, but feel free to include your whole load order if you want.

I'd be really interested in this too, maybe there will be some mods that make flying the space ship easier for me too. I had no clue from the moment the ship took flight, and it took me over an hour to somehow land it = that happened both times I flew. The rest of the game is Awesome!

So I am on the PC, and in trying to figure out how to fly I went to study the key bindings for the game = has anyone else looked at them? There are like 5 sections of 30 bindings! I don't even have that many keys on my keyboard! Lol. Urgh.

Oh, man! I tried to jump back there to explore it and couldn't; darn it! I had got into the ship by the quest, didn't think I wouldn't be able to come back or I would have explored the place in full first.

Actually there is a quest later that will take you back there, but you can go back any time you want by going to the Narion system in the starmap and then selecting Vectera once you are viewing that solar system. Once you select Vectera simply rotate the planet until you find the Argos Extractors site and voila!

Ooh, thank you very much!!!!

No prob! Happy to help

[RaderOfTheLostArk]

I'll have to look when I fire Starfield up next time to see all the mod names, but it's a somewhat varied assortment. There is a Doom-related creation which gives you a powerful spacesuit, but can't remember what it's called. There are a couple custom home mods as well, including one called Moonhenge, that are pretty cool as well. Also a UI mod since the vanilla one kinda sucks.

I want to find mods that add new modules you can build in bases. The amount and variety of furniture is actually pretty good and varied, but the actual buildings are quite lacking, IMO. There are also some POI revamp mods I'm looking to add as well, though I think I have one or two already.

I...uh...that's a lot of mods.

Do any of those fix the lighting issues in hab modules? Ngl, the lighting kind of sucks for some of those. And they have this issue where, if I move a hab, the lighting effect stays in the same exact spot but doesn't move to where I move the hab (don't know if it has been fixed since I was last in the game). I have to delete the hab to fix that problem, which is annoying and sometimes very inconvenient.

I don't think so; but I also don't use anything except for the habs from the Stroud Premium edition mod. They are soooooo much cleaner and brighter, and more posh looking.

The amount of mods I'm running is pretty minor compared to other games. I just rebuilt Fallout 4 at a little over 400 mods, and my handcrafted Skyrim list officially broke 1000 mods this month.

I think Rader was talking about the settlement habs. I have noticed some weirdness with the lighting in settlements as well.

[Kane]

Oh. Definitely not then. Andromeda lives on her ship and the only outpost habs she's built were Paradiso cabins on a tropical beach.

[RaderOfTheLostArk]

Yeah, I meant the base-building, not the shipbuilding. I should've specified. The lack of variety of hab modules for base-building is part of the reason why I looked for player home mods. I also wish we could populate them similar to how we do it for settlements in Fallout 4, so that part of base-building is also disappointing. Hopefully that is something that will be improved in a future update.

[Kane]

These three in particular are what I tried out:
+Outpost Habs Expanded
-Outpost Habs Expanded - Color Variations
+Paradiso Cabin as Outpost Structure

Otherwise, Andromeda lives on her ship or at the player home on Nesoi (upgraded with mods, of course).

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

I’m going to have to see which of these have a corresponding mod on XBox. I looked for an additional piercings mod but didn’t see one

[Kane]

That's surprising about the piercings. The one I use doesn't have any requirements.

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Yeah idk. I guess no one has thought to bring a mod like it to consoles. I looked up piercings, earrings, jewelry. No dice.

I didn’t see a Legendary weapon/armor effect recycler listed obviously on your list. Do you use something like that?

Starfield Extended - Craftable Quality lets you increase the weapon and outfit tiers from base to superior or anything in between.

Legendary Effect Overhaul lets you craft whatever legendaries you want onto outfits and weapons. It's resource intensive, but you get results like this!

Oh, ho ho! NOW we're talking. Those are also the kind of mods I'm looking for. Found an AA-99 one time with 3 sick legendary effects after a lengthy battle with some Ecliptic...except the damage output was way below what my current AA-99 was and I couldn't improve the quality.

Do you have to research the legendary effects? That would actually be cool, if so. I've researched everything I possibly can, and it's a little disappointing that I can't do it anymore.
