Welp, time to just keep landing in random places.
Get regeneration.
Become godking.
Normal stuff.
I need infinate regen.

Me, because it is trash compared to the amount I carry
I take the ship cargo space skill over the inventory capacity skill every day
50% more cargo space vs 100 units more carry weight
mild bridge
100 units pls
charred flower
I have filled up some 3300 units of cargo on my ship
Materials having a weight is a problem
Oh also on the sneak attack BS, apparently theres a workaround
||The EM melee attacks skill for chance to stun, apparently counts as a sneak attack if you hit a stunned enemy||
So it is possible to farm sneak attacks for skill upgrades for melee skills

Think someone found the reason behind the random crashing
https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/16eq1rp/in_case_you_wanted_to_know_a_few_reasons_on_why/
Basically:
Starfield allocates its memory incorrectly where it doesn't align to the CPU page size. If your GPU drivers are not robust against this, your game is going to crash at random times.
Starfield abuses a dx12 feature called ExecuteIndirect. One of the things that this wants is some hints from the game so that the graphics driver knows what to expect. Since Starfield sends in bogus hints, the graphics drivers get caught off gaurd trying to process the data and end up making bubbles in the command queue. These bubbles mean the GPU has to stop what it's doing, double check the assumptions it made about the indirect execute and start over again.
Starfield creates multiple `ExecuteIndirect` calls back to back instead of batching them meaning the problem above is compounded multiple times.
What really grinds my gears is the fact that the open source community has figured out and came up with workarounds to try to make this game run better. These workarounds are available to view by the public eye but Bethesda will most likely not care about fixing their broken engine. Instead they double down and claim their game is "optimized" if your hardware is new enough.```

They’ve been doing away with trainers since oblivion/Skyrim
Melee feels so garbage in this game
I really wanted it to be good and fun
But the melee weapons aren’t even moddable?
You get what you get
And I haven’t found a way to name them
charred flower
It really is, only 'benefit' is the special sneak skill for it
charred flower
Oh also on the sneak attack BS, apparently theres a workaround
||The EM melee at...
I'm probably going to grind the work around and then never touch melee again
The sneak skill is unfortunately kind of worth it

Sneak would have been better tied in with pickpocket and pickpocket just made something else entirely.
mild bridge
Melee feels so garbage in this game
I’ve got mixed feelings. It seems functional enough, but it ain’t great.
I like that at max rank the skill gives heals.
I do wonder if they did this to make melee weapons feel more unique instead of someone’s darling stat stick.
charred flower
If you mean this skill, you realise it isn't a melee skill but a counteraction ability for expending stamina and causing damage to your character \s
The way to level it up is to literally run in a straight line with a ton of stuff, lower your hp and then let it regen
mild bridge
If you mean this skill, you realise it isn't a melee skill but a counteraction a...
No I mean literally the one singular melee skill.
At rank 4, 10% hp restored on melee kill.

Ah ok, a doom ability

Yup
It’s probably the one thing making me even consider melee as a reasonable option

How about in the ship builder you can use R and F to raise and lower the part you are building with?
civic drift
On controller that’s the d pad
vale pawn
Or how about when picking a place to land, you can target on the coast for a specific coast generation that has ocean in it
civic drift
That one is a bit hidden
Hard to do with a controller
If I had a good wireless keyboard and mouse, I’d hook those up tbh
civic drift
It looks like unarmed is actually an interesting path to go down
You need a lot of physical and some combat tree skills to make it work, but it could be a cool non-lethal type build to go
I think it technically deals EM damage? Based on some of the skills I read

They’re worth anywhere from 100 to 200+ per kill

Yeah on the first Crimson Fleet Base you go to after getting the Frontier you can read the logs
There they said they found a planet full of those
and Terrormorphs cant be mind controlled

Yeah I found the planet mentioned there
It’s Toliman 2
Which is in the Toliman system
Shares the same system location as Alpha Centauri
You’ll get a UC ship telling you to leave when you fly in, but you won’t get in trouble for landing

Pretty sure it was a random drop
this is the part where i force existence to allow multiplayer ram your ship and take the gun

Does your choice with the guy who is with you in that actually matter for when you meet up with the group? The game marked the guy as essential so I can't put a bullet though his head
civic drift
You mean whiny butt? I told the head honcho that he did nothing for the whole mission and when we got back to base, head honcho booted the whiny butt from the group.
charred flower
I think hes trying to suggest more than whining to me
civic drift
Oh, absolutely
charred flower
I really wish I coulda put a bullet though his head and buried him in some ice and claimed he met an 'accident' that I put him down for since the wildlife would tear him apart. Put my max skills in medical and all those other things to use

Spoilers for a quest line: ||Mathis is trying to suggest killing Delgado and selling the info you’ll get to his 2nd in command||
However, that wouldn’t work because ||2nd in command lady is very loyal||
charred flower
Personally I was taking the approach that ||since I'm meant to infil the place, replacing the head of the snake would be detrimental to existing intel of the location, as new leadership means new rules||
civic drift
When you get to the end of the dungeon, you will get a choice to tell ||Delgado whether Mathis|| helped out a ton or did absolutely nothing. Unfortunately, I didn’t get an option to tell him ||about Mathis wanting to kill him||
charred flower
Meanwhile my industrialist background would have totally recorded the damn thing
Honestly if anything I'm upset that I can't just not say anything at times
Wheres the 'stay silent' option
Why do I have to constantly reply to every single line even when I'm being told a command
civic drift
Jaz, I’m asking this out of genuine curiosity and not any maliciousness, but are you actually enjoying the game? I’ve seen you say 10x more negative stuff than positive stuff about the game about your playthrough. Pop off and vent all you want, I’m just genuinely curious if you’re actually enjoying yourself
I have a friend that will rant and rave endlessly about a game he is playing, but when asked if he’s actually enjoying the game, he will go “oh yeah, totally”
Like dead serious he will say he’s enjoying a game even if he’s said nothing but negative things (cough armored core 6 cough)
charred flower
I have a friend that will rant and rave endlessly about a game he is playing, bu...
Consider me similar to that friend then, sorry if its killing the mood at all, I like questioning whats put in front of me.
If I need an excuse, put it down to my habits as a writer and worldbuilder, I like to know theres thought behind putting something into lore or the world, I like questioning issues and problems, especially in group chats because someone else might be able to say 'oh that specific thing might have something more over at this other place'
civic drift
AC6 is actually just the latest example from him.
It’s not killing the mood and you don’t need an excuse! Like I said, I was just curious. It wasn’t upsetting me at all
charred flower
I believe most of my questions tend to be directly questioning a choice of specific dialogue or adding specific objects in locations, such as the 'new age tech' on that ship I mentioned before
From my standpoint at least, I don't always find that the 'branching dialogue' really considers anything other than what the storywriter of this one specific quest wanted
civic drift
That seems to be a reoccurring problem in Bethesda games. I think they leave quest writing more to anyone who wants to try at it rather than having a team with a lead direct it all
That happened with Oblivion, which I learned after watching a 12 hour retrospective video of it
charred flower
But yeah sorry I'll try and chill at least slightly, I know that I can get a bit into things at times when I'm enjoying a game enough to spend time running around trying to confirm specific parts of lore or worldbuilding and that it ends up sounding a bit negative
keen haven
Why do I have to constantly reply to every single line even when I'm being told ...
the best question
civic drift
But yeah sorry I'll try and chill at least slightly, I know that I can get a bit...
Bruh, just keep being yourself. I told ya it doesn’t bother me, I was genuinely curious as to your enjoyment of the game and thoughts so far
Also we have about the same playtime
keen haven
not the talkative type also wish i had chosen introvert, also that one time blonde lady got angry at me for defending myself from free star ship cause it fired at me and so i started to fire back and she gets mad at me
charred flower
I'll keep balancing out Weegys constant and endless blind praise then with more negative comments 😛
civic drift
I agree with you on your earlier statement that your background choice should have net you a unique dialogue choice during that interaction with whiny butt
keen haven
i wish i could state to her the literally I WAS DEFENDING MYSELF DUMBASS!
civic drift
You probably had a bounty
Or a stray shot hit them
Which I wish the game would account for in the craziness of multi ship combat
It sucks that one stray shot is all it takes for a bounty
Like, how are they gonna know it was you who fired it in the chaos of combat?
charred flower
The 20+ people that are on that ship who have nothing better to do
keen haven
oh i dont care that i had a bounty it was annoyed cause it started to fire at me after i fast travel to a planet and it immediately fired at me and after i began firing in self defense it tried to hail me so that got canceled out
at least the eclipse would just warp in and then hail me
charred flower
I've seen complaints about the 'no survivours' bounty hivemind though
civic drift
Yeah, which especially doesn’t make sense for Freestar faction
charred flower
at least the eclipse would just warp in and then hail me
civic drift
They’re very “we want you to kill only as an absolute last resort”
keen haven
i had a very small bounty so they werent in fire on sight mode like whoever started the fire fight in Neon here
civic drift
The eclipse faction feels like just another gunners/talon company. It could have been done well, but they’re really just another shoot on sight enemy
keen haven
but yeh they opened fire without hailing so i fired back but they were trying to hail me after firing at me so it got canceled out
charred flower
The easiest fix to ship combat I could ever suggest? Make only hull damage matter for bounties if there is an active combat with enemies nearby
At least then they can argue damages
civic drift
I’ve never had an eclipse ship or enemy not fire on sight for me
charred flower
Usually they can start as neutral before hailing you for the whole stop and submit
Depends
keen haven
it was quite dumb from my perspective when blonde companion lady got mad at me after cause i was literally defending myself reasonably in real life terms
bare in mind im the sort of person where if you fire at me expect to me necron gauss flayer beam you
charred flower
Actually since we are complaining about ship stuff
Who the hell designed ship communications
charred flower
"I'm hailing you with this super long message that I can use to relay an entire novel, hey I'd love for you to eventually pick up so I can talk to you further as I'm hailing you which is only preventing dialogue options"

True actually, I really shouldn't have constellation on my ship while I'm doing pirate stuff...
keen haven
unless of course there is an option to tie them up and leave them in the closet while i commit crimes
then just pull them out and say nothing happened
charred flower
Actually with that in mind, I have brought sams little one to the key, why not have an 11 year old in close proximity with the highest ranked criminals in society
civic drift
I got Barrett’s affinity up a lot during the quest line you’re doing
charred flower
Oh?
civic drift
But I also chose the best result options all the time
Like when you need to hunt down the ||traitor||, I convinced the ship to ||wipe him from the manifest and turn him into UC SysDef forces. They also gave me an extra supply from their ship to really sell that I had looted them||
So ||traitor|| was dealt with and ||innocents|| weren’t harmed
charred flower
So pretty much exactly what I did by default, coolio
I just CBA to deal with bounties while I have a police badge from every major faction or whatever
civic drift

Yeehaw after like an hour and a half, I’ve modified my ship (cost me literally over 200k cause I haven’t invested in reduced shop prices), cleaned out old weapons and equipment, renamed my armor so I can quickly navigate through which ones I need for environmental hazards and made a ton of drugs
I do like that you can rename armor
It’s super helpful
Gonna rename the ||Mantis Armor|| to “Trash” cause that’s what it is
Super heavy garbage
Good for an RP playthrough maybe

mantis looks like trash too

Yeah the design, for being called Mantis, could have been so cool
But what we got is… meh

this was basically me when it happened
i was already getting on board to kill the cultists onboard and i had my sword out

turns out if you make enough noise you can make them not take off

100k is the low end cost for a ship overhaul, you can either choose to custom build the entire thing or use the upgrade menu to mass-upgrade one specific part into any other replacement part of that type
The mass-upgrade of a specific part type won't let you switch the type of that part and rarely accounts for variants, such as a gun not giving you missiles
I'd recommend just saving up like 300-500k though and customising manually, since that'll let you add more hubs and attachment points and all that
The skills for shipbuilding just have hidden and 'locked' stronger items that the game only shows you if you qualify, ignoring engines with classes above yours and weapons above yours
It fails to communicate that guns can have an 'engine class' requirement
Well it says it, just badly; and doesn't tell you which part it was giving that error
mild bridge
I seeeee…..
charred flower
Honestly I'd just say throw some cash at unlocking the skill for ship design and all that though
The parts without the perk are way too bad
charred flower
And somehow people say I'm addicted and play too much when 55 hours in 2 weeks isn't really that much

Mm
I’m pretty much at the same hours
But in a shorter time
I don’t pace myself very well

this is still just the basic ship.
charred flower
Why do you even need that much grav drive?
mild bridge
but yes.
mild bridge
yeah this is the default
yeah.
Ive changed nor upgraded anything.
Im just tryin to get some levels, near effective immortality, and then run off to level 75 areas and cackle as I play hit and run tactics.
everything will die eventually. if I can outheal it.
charred flower
I highly recommend the boostpack L1-2 ability I think it was? 4th layer on the 5th tree, middle ability I think it was
Ring of fire
Might not seem like much, but you need to do, like 25% hp damage to a thing to get XP from it?
That boost thing can help if you bring allies
mild bridge
oh so THATS why I wasn't getting XP from her kills
I see.
Ill consider it.
thanks Jaz!
charred flower
Since it does burning damage I'm pretty sure it is percent based damage
Oh and spoiler, theres only an achievement for level 100. Even with XP rates multiplied by a massive chunk it was slow
But yeah L3 of that ability I mentioned is the hover ability while aiming
So hit and run becomes even easier
charred flower
Believe me the milestones are the thing that are holding me back
mild bridge
kek
charred flower
But yeah I said earlier
Enemies only seem to 'scale' to L100
With exception of specifically coded NPCs like companions who 'match player level'

They do make life a lot easier, range is everything
It is indeed about how big its reach is
mild bridge
those who have built outposts, how much can I actually BUILD, without needing the half a dozen skillpoints in the science tree?
TLDR: does automated mining exist before the skill.
mild bridge
so automation exists before the skill. wonderful.

automatic mining and storage is right out the box, not sure about crafting yet
mild bridge
I dont need auto crafting. just those first 2
my rocket has kinda filled up on mats and Im realizing Im gonna need to settle down soonish.

I don't even think the colony to colony trade platforms have a skill requirement, so you can network everything to a major hub as needed

NO IM NOT SELLING THEM WHAT IF I NEED THEM?!
mild bridge
I don't even think the colony to colony trade platforms have a skill requirement...
.... network?

I have near 4k materials in weight
Every planet has different resources
You can set up multiple outposts, and then connect them through trading

I got pissed at trying to sort inventory when I realized I needed 20 crates in my house to store everything
just got the mod for ship cockpits to have 500k storage

thats, thats really handy.

So you never need to visit the ones you set up on the edge again
mild bridge
rad.
charred flower
I highly recommend setting up on a planet with H3 and Alu
Preferably with a variety of other stuff too, but make sure to find a H3 and Alu spot to build at
Or whatever the fuel is if not H3
Its used for solar system to system transport, so you don't even need to localise everything
And Alu is most components, get it set up early, even at the cost of everything else
Aluminum, followed by Iron and then maybe some of the other materials, titanium etc
Would kill innocents for aluminium
Or sorry, would kill innocents, full stop
mild bridge
I see.
interesting.
I had a.... different plan.
it might have involved mass crafting things to....... well xp farm.
charred flower
Alu is the main resource for automation buildings and any kind of habs/worker stations for more effiency on that
So it enables more xp farms
Its a bit stupid how much of the crafting relies on it
mild bridge
I see.
vale pawn
really feel the lack of a scrapping system

And yes, the airlock staircase isn't intelligent, the barriers on the stairs remain even if they are half in the ground
mild bridge
its just one thing after another.
I got aluminum and H3 production
well now I need iron
and none of the planets in my system have iron
so I had to go out to find a different system with an iron planet
so I found that, but forgot to bring aluminum or iron
so Im having to go out and get those
charred flower
XD
mild bridge
and once I get those then Ill have to figure out the interstellar mechanics
good thing is that both planets have H3, so that wont be too bad
its just really annoying
its just a cascade of things that need doing, and it really frustrates me.
vale pawn
setup cargo links?
vale pawn
oh yea and how about staffing your outposts?
charred flower
IM WORKING ON IT

oh yea and how about staffing your outposts?
Apparently if you 'hire' people and don't put them at an outpost, they quit or something?
mild bridge
oh yea and how about staffing your outposts?
wait I have to do that? this isn't just a completely automatic system?
charred flower
The two people I ranted at before about having different hiring costs, both aren't in my staff list since I saved the game and came back a few days later IRL
mild bridge
okay well Ive not built two platforms.... and supposedly linked them.... and I have no idea what to do now
do I need to give one its own dedicated storage?
or how does this work?
do I need to sleep?
I just.... theres no damned tutorial
I just want iron to flow from one base, to the other.
so that then I can just GET the entire science tree and do this properly.
civic drift
Cargo link means you can access the resources between the two bases. So, you should just have access to it at the other base now.
That’s how I understand it
vale pawn
Just me or does the Big Bang look dumb?
civic drift
Just you! 
Jokes aside, I love that gun
You know what does look dumb? The mantis armor

I agree on the mantis
just started seeing big bangs in the shop, not tried out yet though
also saw the magshear for the first time
civic drift
The mag weapons look dope as hell
Big Bang is literally my best weapon
It’s my boss fighting weapon
I have lots of character ideas
I wanna make an argos miner that uses only a cutter from beginning to end
And a scientist that has to rely on their bodyguard (companion) for all fights but will pull a laser pistol as an absolute last resort (for times when you’re forced to go solo)
Oh, could totally use Vasco for the scientist playthrough
I really wanna do a pure unarmed playthrough
vale pawn
wonder how much I am missing by not using a companion at all

Just occasional quips and companion quests
And “companion liked/disliked/loved/hated that”

i usually dont even go to gun shops often cause i find it hard to remember where they are

Hmm, you can find a good gun shop on neon
It’s directly up an elevator
It only sells mag weapons
Which are dope, so it’s a good one
vale pawn
It also has a unique poison magstorm, which I think is like a micro missile minigun?
civic drift
Yes
That too
@charred flower when you get the ||Mathis event in space||, can you board his ship and tell me if you get anything unique from killing him/on his ship? His ship is named. I didn’t remember until just now (many hours and saves after I killed him) that he takes a gun from the prison and I’m curious if it’s named

I think all of those can spawn at once in a zone but just one is gonna have much more than any other option

i should of just payed for the grav drive getting materials so they could live there was a pain for me

they still said they did all the paper work and legal stuff saying they were there legally and owned the place

why would I be upseet over this.
keen haven
so yeh there within the law
mild bridge
not like they coulda just made zones with specific base locations like in Fallout 4.
nope, that, that woulda been too sensible.
instead they brought in the god forsaken CAMP system from 76

do they have the documentation saying so cause it all seemed like they just left and arrived thinking everyone would be gone or dead
im going with no cause they never mentioned it to me
vale pawn
guess you didn't get that dialog then
keen haven
the dialog told me they got made the best ship money could craft at the time and left for a better world before earth was needed to be abandoned seems to me like they just made a ship and blasted off to a planet they knew was habitable
was still weird that i couldnt just take a get some resources and just land them somewhere else on said planet
instead it was pay for a grav drive to help them find a new planet or leave them with the paradiso people they even mentioned they were willing to land on a different patch and just expand across the planet
vale pawn
Bah can't go back to that dialog but ||the gist is the founder filed an official claim back on Earth pre Exodus, and got laughed at. But they still filled an claim on that planet specifically because it was so far out and less likely for others to try and claim jump them||

sounds more like the old government crumbled making said contract moot
seeing as its the UC and freestar in power now

The security guard guy at the start said 'no news reporters'
And the game explicitly has the news station give you a main quest or something about 'newsworthy stories'

isnt that only if you are walking about in atlantis or this another thing?
i randomly had that happen to me recently when i was going to the lodge after getting a relic
charred flower
Nope, the guy on the security desk when you land on paridiso specifically says at the start of the first contact quest "Keep it between us, we don't want the news catching word about this"

i was talking about the news guy that randomly runs up to you asking about the crimson fleet attack that happens at the very start of the game
like are you saying we can tell them at Atlantis or someone else entirely?

If you go to the actual news building in atlantas, the receptionist will hire you for 'any information on first account stories'

Stealing from a youtube video since I don't want to new game to get two lines of dialogue
And then I'm given a quest by a news station for 'first person accounts of interesting stories'
And I can't bring down the BS leaders at pardisio over this

not talking about that guy im specifically asking once we talk to the guard and investigate everything and you said we could then tell the news people i was asking if you were referring to the news guys at Atlantis

There is no real world example of any ores that happen to contain more than one element, there is nothing you can say to show science as being wrong about the reactivity of metals like silver and gold, along with any number of other metals.

Ah yes that is an iron ore that can also contain trace gold and copper, bauxite, an aluminium ore can also contain iron and titanium
No real world example of megnetite, an iron ore containing titanium and vanadium or pentlandite, a nickle ore that also can contain iron, what about cassiterite, tin ore that contains iron and copper

They didn't want ANOTHER 76
so they aimed a little lower, did a few things a bit shoddier, and tried to just make the game actually function.

Console's/microsoft limitations being too demanding which then led to stretching themselves thin over so many things to launch within the designated time which itself is poor production because they didn't delay it enough to get it fully finished

on a glance, theres issues

If it wasn't bethesda, I'd likely have less complaints. If it was an indie dev I'd be marketing it and making sure there were ideas flowing
But an AAA company, they won't care, they have their sales, nothing now will change that
After a few weeks of release for a AAA company, extra income is generally a bonus right? They don't have to fight for pennies here
PR wouldn't let an idiot like Todd speak in interviews if that was the case
That'd cost an indie dev cash, like no man sky not having PR to manage expectations

Least NMS had the balls to own up to their shortcomings

Yup
NMS was entirely caused by the dev not having a PR of any kind though, so his full investment was what he marketed
Without that, the start wouldn't have been nearly as bad

Todd Howard feels about as ...
Bethesda NPCs remind me how one dimension poorly written characters are "Book fund girl" and her singular voice line, motive, objective and existence

Honestly? I gotta say it, Team fortress 2 still is the best instance I've ever seen of clearly defined, memorable characters even with their 2-4 minute 'meet the' themed videos they did back in 2007-2012
I kinda wish more games in general were able of driving a good level of investment like that
charred flower
Seriously though whoever wrote the characters needs to save the industry with good NPCs in other games
I'd love if more characters were just memorable for more than the game or core ability they have
Wouldn't work for every game but jeez it'd improve some of them
keen haven
i only know them cause the videos were spammed everywhere
charred flower
Yup, and yet they are memorable enough to remain
Only other NPCs of that sort to 'stay' in public memory for their personality rather than being the face of the game, would be very few NPCs
keen haven
also ive never actually seen others as over exposed to the public as team fortress guys

Considering they only had 2-4 minute videos each, totalling 20 minutes with a few longer videos afterwards, it did well
Overwatch for example has much longer videos about every character with basically no on recalling any of that
No game has really managed to make their characters something people care about outside of that
keen haven
well ive never been shown any of that is the difference really ive been shown team fortress alot
ALOT

Bethesda will always find a way to put in a rivet gun into their games
I adore the railway rifle, so I’m not complaining
keen haven
