Starfield

[mild bridge]

welp

back to making aluminum iron amalgums

and then Ill be making a different thingy

which has 2 sub crafts.

to make a third thingy

which will make my XP far higher

probably

I think

if I mathed right.

well I mean I know it will be higher

but if the XP rate will actually be higher..... ehhhhh

I just realized.... one of my sub crafts..... you can get both materials.... in the same spot

...... which means sleeping works to make time go by faster.....

meaning I don't.......

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

AHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

UNLIMITED

POWER

IS

MINE

SOONISH

Nicola 3 has Nickle and Cobalt, Cobalt spawns with Nickle, theres a craft that requires just nickle and coblat, hence, better farm.

the time multiplier is just about 2:1, buuuut Ill take it for ease of access.

or wait....

Venus has nickle and cobalt.....

venus has a 200:1 time mult.....

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

forget everything I just said

TLDR: Venus OP

[civic drift]

Fun fact: sometimes starfield just crashes randomly on Xbox S

[mild bridge]

fun fact: sometimes starfield randomly crashes on my PC

I think starfield just crashes

ya know

being a bethesda game and all that

[charred flower]

Lol wat

I also cannot comprehend how they managed to screw up the ship power so much that it can't even remember the SAME setting I keep putting it on, every single damn time

[keen haven]

ah that

i sometimes have to put some of my power back when lifted off the planet or sometimes when some things have undone themselves after a warp

not even the power i used for the warp some of the other things just reset for me

[charred flower]

I put 1 power in warp just for general stuff. It decided to allocate like 8 power to the grav drive

It actively removes all power from my engines and some from my weapon just to give it to the grav drive

[keen haven]

i have nothing in my grav drive and only put power in when im warping

usually all the power from my engines or also from my shields if im going into a peaceful place

[charred flower]

If the game would behave I'd be leaving 1 power in there mostly because combats very quick for me

12/0/0/5/6/1

[mild bridge]

I just wish the game would keep power in my grav drive after i make jumps

it keeps resetting it. because apparenlty it thinks my ship needs the power elsewhere.

I literally have 3 full extra bars that cannot fit into any system game

[charred flower]

XD

"I've had a long and successful military career"

"I've been in 43 space battles"

Uh, hate to break it to ya, but I think the main character by manner of existing tops that easily in like an in game week?

[keen haven]

i want it to reset after a grav jump

makes it easier and quicker for me to divert that power back into other systems

i dont want it to stay in grav drive

[charred flower]

While yes also no, I don't need it reallocating 8 power to my grav drive constantly

Give me the option to lock a systems power at that value

Stop taking power from my engines to max fuel my grav drive when I'm entering a zone that might have combat

[vale pawn]

wouldn't be a problem if we could just have more than one reactor

[charred flower]

I have given my ship so much cargo its telling me I have 0 mobility

I'm questioning how much I care

[mild bridge]

yeah..... its not like multiple real world ships have multiple reactors powering them. that would be too crazy.

technically the nuclear ones don't, but everything else uses a series of power generators, not just one.

[charred flower]

12792 cargo capacity without modding my ship capacity at all

This might do for now

Who cares if I have 0 mobility

Thats some BS 'using too much power for engines'

Well maybe if you gave me actual engines that could handle this BS, I'd be fine

I CAN CARRY THINGS AGAIN

WITHOUT PENALTY

14071 ship capacity was needed for this

Ignore that I'm only using 6k

Futureproofing for the next few hours

Oh jeez, by mobility it means cannot decelerate or something XD

[civic drift]

today I learned you can convince the adoring fan to stop being your fan

[charred flower]

XD Wat

[civic drift]

I just watched a video of someone doing a speech check to convince the fan to buzz off permanently

[keen haven]

you could just

kill them

[charred flower]

I assume telling them to buzz off though allows you to recruit them later or something

I... do not know how to feel that NG+ goes ||up to 10 times||

[mild bridge]

…….. it does what.

But why

What…. What even changes?

[charred flower]

||Upgrading starter armour set||

[mild bridge]

||…… explain.||

[charred flower]

||Tier 10 Will have a physical resistance of 246, an energy resistance of 246, an EM resistance of 246, a thermal resistance of 50, a corrosive resistance of 50, an airborne resistance of 50, and finally, a radiation resistance of 50.||

||All the NG+ armours seem to have 50 resist in all elements, but the damage resist goes up by like 10 per tier||

[mild bridge]

||So basically….. there’s further tiers, up to 10, only unlocked each NG cycle.||

[charred flower]

From 150 to 250~

Yuuup

Indeed

[mild bridge]

Uuuugggghhhhh

Welp

[charred flower]

XD

[mild bridge]

Guess I gotta beat the game 10 times

Ya know. Become a godlike entity and all that

[charred flower]

I was reading into it to be like 'is there anything I care about for multiple NG+ things' I didn't expect how weird they went with that

And thats like a starter set or something, pretty sure thats from the start, you could have that and throw on hard mode and possibly survive

[mild bridge]

Jaz I’ve been playing the game on ultra hard from the star

It ain’t that bad

As long as you farm some xp first

[charred flower]

There were no achievements for difficulty so I don't subject myself to difficulty

[mild bridge]

Fair

I wanted to

[mild bridge]

annnnd theres the first crash in a while

really hope there was a save recently

[charred flower]

Only when you open some specific menus, and only when you travel between specific zones

[vale pawn]

I have my autosaves as low as they can go, and save of ESC
And still tend to lose progress multiple times

Really hope someone can figure out these crashes

[keen haven]

i manually save alot

before i enter a place full of enemies

before i leave said place

before i lift off

before i warp

before i enter a fight

before i enter persuasion

[vale pawn]

Quicksave on your mouse

[keen haven]

before i open a lock

fek quicksave

also dont use mouse so that advice is useless to me

[charred flower]

They did, and it was that their programmers can't count

That the game is forcing the engine to skip chunks of data because they decided to not match the engines load

And so it'll decide to just skip things and tells the engine to stop doing the thing it was doing

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.```

You posted it yourself

Their programmers can't count, so they get the wrong page size

[vale pawn]

I mean figured out in a way that fixes it

[charred flower]

There we no solutions posted in the reddit thing? I thought the poster said something about already having work arounds

[mild bridge]

then why let us build ships longer than 80 meters.

[charred flower]

Yeah I posted that a bit earlier

I am of the confuse

[keen haven]

i should of gotten that imagery of the colossal truck someone made

[keen haven]

now get the image of the guy on the front to show the size

[mild bridge]

chunky truck

well, Ive researched just about every base building thingy now, so, buying a massive number of materials, and then, tomorow, Ima build a giant XP farm of doom.

[charred flower]

Fair

[mild bridge]

I mean Ive seen the XP rate increases.

I aint doin that crap normally

[charred flower]

I'm debating how much I care tbh, speedrunning NG+10 might be better than bothering to invest in base design

[mild bridge]

I mean I dont htink any of it carries between NGs?

@thin pilot would know

I know research and levels do

But idk about anything else

[charred flower]

Well it seems a lot does transfer, from the skills and powers etc. I'm unclear if based on the NG+ guides if ||the frontier 'remaining' means you keep your upgrades/cargo etc||

[mild bridge]

Note to self ||max out frontier before entering NG+||

[vale pawn]

Interested Gurm?
||Tirna VIII-c||

[charred flower]

Oh. I've encountered a bit of a spoiler I half wish I didn't know now, but at the same time, I'm kind of amused that it happens

[mild bridge]

……. The only issue. Is that….. none of those work well together.

But that, is a hell of a place.

[charred flower]

I'll do a proper survey the Jaz way and I'll note some proper planets when I start outposts properly beyond skilling up

Extreme endgame NG+ spoilers ||Apparently theres a quest where you can recruit an older version of yourself.|| While amusing, I'm not sure it is a spoiler I wanted to know was possible.

Wait, I really need to stop reading

Went for trying to find out about keeping my ship upgrades, left knowing way too much about NG+

Seems all ship building gets wiped on NG+

[mild bridge]

Rip

[mild bridge]

I have created, the storage towers.

yes this is how I store random assorted materials.

just.... slowly jump up the platforms

it works suprizingly well

honestly Im rpoud of it

and its all possibe because some madman at bethesda said "hey why dont we let these bigger ones be off center?"

[charred flower]

Some good looking apartments for this economy, how much is rent?

[mild bridge]

well they’ve got windows…. So a solid 15k monthly.

[charred flower]

The funny thing is, its thematic for some places in the game, Neon actually lets you buy a 'cratehome'

[mild bridge]

….. damn

[charred flower]

Came across it while walking on top of the neon dome yesterday

Pathfinding apparently saw parcore across cranes as 'the shortest path'

[mild bridge]

Huh

[charred flower]

It wasn't, all it did was made me take a 15 minute detour for something that was up two flights of stairs

[mild bridge]

[civic drift]

the only thing the pathfinding is good for is getting out of mazes

[mild bridge]

Yup

[vale pawn]

and for some reason they made it an actual decorate-able home
and its the size of a shoebox

[mild bridge]

Fun

[vale pawn]

like you can't even place a larger chest in the thing

[civic drift]

hey gurm

never ||new game+||

[charred flower]

Main issue is, its kind of worth doing it a bunch, but then you have to do it till the easter eggs are resolved and 'normalise'

[thin pilot]

To be fair, it's pretty funny

[civic drift]

I don't know how to decorate my home in new atlantis

I was told "building materials" got put in my ship but I can't find them in the menus

[vale pawn]

you can have a home in NA?

[thin pilot]

You can

Several

Gotta start as UC citizen or do vanguard questline to get them though

[vale pawn]

Ahh that explains it, never went back to the recruiter

[civic drift]

I have the ||penthouse|| home

and not gonna lie, I've already forgotten how to get to it

[mild bridge]

Explain

Why would I not?

I get that I basically keep nothing that’s fine.

[civic drift]

oh

you've just been putting so much work into your outposts

didn't want you to be upset that all that work was erased

[charred flower]

Gur is almost the type of person to 100% a game just so he can NG+ I thought tbh

[thin pilot]

He's a machoist yes

[civic drift]

not gonna lie, not sure I wanna ng+

I don't like that everything except ||your skills and powers gets reset||

[thin pilot]

You should if you're done the rest

It's worth it

[mild bridge]

pfffffffffft. effort.

EFFORT INTO MY OUTPOSTS?!

IVE BEEN TRYING TO DO THE BARE MINIMUM SUSAN

[civic drift]

I've done a few faction storylines so far

[mild bridge]

THE OUTPOST SYSTEM IS JUST SO OBTUSE THAT IT SEEMS LIKE IM TRYING TO BE A PERFECTIONIST.

I just.... wanted.... a nice xp farm.

and money farm.

[civic drift]

I'm curious if they planned on making the weapon skin system more robust

[mild bridge]

but mostly xp

[civic drift]

cause there's uniques with super cool skins

[mild bridge]

have you heard of a lil thing called microtransactions

no seriously if you can avoid it, never build a proper outpost until you have literally every outpost skill available

because its actually hell otherwise

and even with the good skills, good luck

[civic drift]

I just use outposts to get raw mats I'm low on

like I'm constantly low on beryllium and tungsten

[mild bridge]

and in the end, I made a monster on Venus.

each of these sells for 5.

I slept for 4 hours and made about 30K of them.

well, it took a lot of clicking, but after the clicking.

yeah turns out production runs on universal time.

annnnd venus has this funky lil quirk where its 100 universal hours per hour on venus.

[civic drift]

Eh, I gotta say, money is never that much of an issue

[mild bridge]

look I just wanted the XP

really

what i honestly want.

is some way to sell things from my base

[civic drift]

you're asking for too much, gurm

[vale pawn]

why not just go to a high level planet with lots of wild life?

[mild bridge]

too slow.

[civic drift]

despite such systems already being something they know how to do (like in fallout 76), that's just... too much man

[mild bridge]

(like in fallout 4)

yeah

way too much to ask for

obviously

[civic drift]

oooh, that's a crash

[mild bridge]

god it better be in one of the weird misc base research trees or Im throwing hands.

[civic drift]

first crash of the day for me

[mild bridge]

my game nearly breaks every time i enter or leave a settlement

no idea why

[civic drift]

Oooh, immediate 2nd crash when I tried to boot it up again

that's a new one

[mild bridge]

..... nope. its not in any of the weird decoration outpost development thingies.

why can I literally clear my boutny, but not sell anything.

[vale pawn]

it is a little weird having a third party remove bounties from any factions

[mild bridge]

it is real strange

and doesnt make a lot of sense

[civic drift]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I kept putting points into special projects to unlock more manufactured component crafting

[mild bridge]

and?

[civic drift]

it was so I could craft polymer

[mild bridge]

special projects is a really easy skill to max out

uhuh

[civic drift]

polymer isn't a manufactured component

you can only buy or scavenge for it

[mild bridge]

yeah

good times.

love that.

[civic drift]

i only just found that out after maxing special projects

[mild bridge]

lots of things like that

[mild bridge]

look, its a really useful skill.

honestly

[civic drift]

oh i know

it's just

[mild bridge]

annoying

yeah

[civic drift]

frustrating to find that out now

[mild bridge]

yup

[civic drift]

especially cause polymer has the same symbol as other manufactured components to mark it as such?

I think?

[mild bridge]

no idea

what I do know, is that..... I finally hit hte giant XP spike I think

or well, Ive been in the XP spike

I just didnt notice.

in about 20 more levels Ill hit the real henious spike

wooooooooooooooo

https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/16hck11/leveling_xp_curve/

heres the math for anyone who cares

TLDR: its awful

well either way, time to wait some more time, annnnnd then yeah. stuffs. things.

[civic drift]

the xp spikes in bethesda games are always quite awful

[mild bridge]

yeah but usually they arent THIS bad

[civic drift]

I'm trying to decide if I want to continue exploring or just finish up the main quest, get all the powers and start the NG+10 gauntlet

[mild bridge]

oh hey 1 12 hour wait, and a crafting session, level 80-85

I like venus

such a chill planet

[mild bridge]

go and explore. enjoy the game, the NG+10 gauntlet is going to suck the fun out of everything anyways, so enjoy it while you can.

unless each NG brings something new and different.

given its a bethesda game, I doubt that.

[civic drift]

I looked it up and it really doesn't

[mild bridge]

Yeah

So enjoy now

Dominate later

Do try to research everything before NG+ though

[civic drift]

I’ve finished up weapons and special

Like halfway through spacesuit

1 in chems

The only thing new game+ does is ||level up your starborn powers||

There might also be different dialogue options

But I’m really deflated after learning this

Might just go play Lies of P

[mild bridge]

That means nothing to me. Neato.

[thin pilot]

Much different

Whole new path to the main story+side quests if you completed them

[charred flower]

Yesn't

[charred flower]

Knowing is ruining the experience, but there is more beyond starborn powers

And even more beyond that extreme spoiler, which I'm not gonna put in text because it straight up ruined a lot to just know things exist

[thin pilot]

Yes

[civic drift]

Alrighty

Well, I’ll do a full run as possible in my first playthrough then

[charred flower]

For a 'lot less' spoilery version of NG+ which shouldn't be too bad for anyone
||There is a NG+ 'continued' questline, which has variations for each NG+||

I'd say thats a fair phrasing right @thin pilot?

[thin pilot]

It's a very fair phrasing

On subway so can't respond well

[mild bridge]

Oh that’s very interesting.

[charred flower]

From what I've seen it is kind of self contained unfortunately, but it is interesting overall.

[mild bridge]

rip

[thin pilot]

It makes sense narratively

[civic drift]

What’s everyone’s favorite apparel to wear? I like neocity corpwear

[charred flower]

Research breakthrough

Or hazmat when I'm bored

[mild bridge]

anything that gives bonus damage to crit.

currently Ive got one of those full body things. got it from killing a guy in neon

where to offload 450K credits worth of materials.

really wish that sellers had at least 10x what they currently have

or ya know, if I could just, move sellers to my outpost and sell to them

given that was the only way to actually offload stuff efficiently in FO4

I KNOW YOU IDIOTS KNOW HOW TO PROGRAM IT

WHY IS IT MISSING

WHY IS THIS SYSTEM SOMEHOW MORE STRIPPED BACK THAN FO4S WAS

[vale pawn]

Because they don't expect players to make 90k of a resource for the sole reason of selling

[mild bridge]

WELL THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE PLANNED AHEAD NOW SHOULDNT THEY

LIKE BY LETTING ME BUILD OUTPOST TRADERS

YA KNOW

LIKE THEY DID IN FALLOUT FOUR

a game, from nearly, a decade ago now.

two more years

and fallout 4 will be ten years old

whatever Ive got a 40mm grenade laucnher now.

Ima name it Zach.

there is no context for why it is getting named Zach.

buying out all of the ammo of shops seems to work pretty well for burning money

so Ill be doing that.

again: didn't make all this for money, did it for XP.

but just deleting it from reality feels wrong

[charred flower]

Tbh the only way vendors end up with enough money to buy the gear I pick up is because I buy out all their materials first. Annoys me that the traders with 20k in cash only like medical aid items

[mild bridge]

yeah

its..... frustrating.

QOL mod I always install is 100x gold for shopkeeps

skyrim actually legitimately only needs roughly 10x, but FO4 and ESPECIALLY starfield need those 100x

[vale pawn]

Wish shopkeepers were more like actual shops
As in they sell more of their focused thing, they don't buy things for the most part
dedicated fences and brokers, Trade authority fills that slot fairly well
Places that are not shops that will buy supplies for you, like selling food or construction materials to a colony

Like if Gurm could offload all those magnets to a shipyard

[mild bridge]

or a colony shop, or something.

not just a bunch of general stores.

[vale pawn]

exactly

[mild bridge]

buuuut until some modder takes it upon themselves to rework the shopping experience into something usable, just buying out ammo and then selling off magnets is all I got for now.

[vale pawn]

don't forget the meds too

[mild bridge]

good news: Ill basically never need amo again.

[mild bridge]

meds have weight.

not a lot, but lets say I start carrying around over 100 of each and every med.

that adds up

[vale pawn]

most sure, but base medpacks don't

[mild bridge]

yeah so

Im high enough level now

that Trauma packs are more common than base medpacs

[civic drift]

ANDREJA COMPANION QUEST TIME NOW LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

[mild bridge]

radical

Grunt issue 07 comes from abandoned cryo labs

I have two of them now

rimworld players of all ages and types..... Ive found the motherload.

[charred flower]

Welcome to a space age game, where we have the ability to travel FTL and make super massive spacecraft which can constantly enter and exit atmospheres
We also forgot basic prosthetics and how to make them, let alone organ growing, by the way have some lab grown beef, I hear it is the rage

[mild bridge]

ye

[charred flower]

Aka, why I hate AAA studios and how low IQ their writers are by basic lore

I can never get into games with 'tons of lore' because they create their own plot holes

[mild bridge]

its certainly interesting.

personally my most recent run in with moronic writers (besides this) was a book I just read.

[charred flower]

Basic logic, you know; its called having the writers have a SINGLE conversation about the setting together

[mild bridge]

where a main character said, when they had an attack that ignores barriers and does massive internal damage, that the stomach, was a non leathal target.

you know

the stomach

with all of those VITAL ORGANS

THAT WOULD BE REALLY BAD IF YOU YA KNOW, BLENDERED THEM WITH AN ATTACK THAT IGNORES DEFENSES.

[charred flower]

I mean technically the stomach isn't a vital organ, just that rupturing it causes massive amounts of blood poisoning

[mild bridge]

the attack causes the organs to explode

[charred flower]

People have surgeries quite often to reduce their stomach size or other things

Its not nearly as vital

[mild bridge]

Im just saying, maybe, some authors need to do some basic biology research, before declaring non vital targets.

[mild bridge]

okay but again, having your entire center of mass getting blendered repeatedly, is a "non leathal" attack?

its not nearly as vital as the brain sure, but again, center of mass getting blendered.

[charred flower]

Just invent an attack which agitates the diaphragm, endless hiccups

[keen haven]

ive already solded a bunch of contract band

organs included

[mild bridge]

wait this is contraband?

[keen haven]

a few forbidden texts here and there

[charred flower]

Yuuup

[mild bridge]

...............................................

[charred flower]

For some reason it is yes

[keen haven]

you can even get AI cores

[charred flower]

When we have lab grown meat

[mild bridge]

I..... why are harvested organs contraband?

I FOUND THESE FAIR AND SQUARE

[charred flower]

They decide lab grown organs can't exist

[keen haven]

how do you think they were harvested gurm

[mild bridge]

from a cryogenics lab that literally expoded and froze itself over.

[charred flower]

Post mortem

Oh wait this game doesn't have any basic concept of organ donation

[mild bridge]

you cannot cryogenically freeze someone and not ya know, kill them.

unless SOMEHOW THEY FIGURED THAT OUT, but not how to lab grow organs

[keen haven]

we probably dont get to see that detail if there is one Jaz

[mild bridge]

either way..... off to the trade authority.

[keen haven]

cause its techically probably still a thing in real life illegal organ trafficking

[mild bridge]

they'll proabbly buy this

[keen haven]

they do

they buy EVERYTHING

[mild bridge]

but can they afford it

[keen haven]

just make sure you got all the proper...... protection

yes they can

its why i hate i couldnt get into that contraband chest i found ages ago

lots of money

[mild bridge]

I was gonna sell to a planet that doesnt do scans.

like Akila

Akila doesn't have scans right?

I dont remember them doing scans

[charred flower]

Suffer.

[mild bridge]

worse comes to worst I start all out war with the UC and idiot stick who WONT LEAVE ME ALONE YET gets upset.

[keen haven]

i was under the impression all freestar and UC systems do scans

also if your ship crafting level is high enough you can just straight up put scanner and some shielded cargo holds onto your ship for maximum scanner blocking

im only at 60 ish %

success rate

[mild bridge]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... piss.

alrighty then.... uhhhhhhhhh............... well...... guess Ill just put the organs in my house and figure out what to do with them later!

stupid scanner pieces of grumble grumble

I just wanted to sell some organs. was that SO WRONG?!

[charred flower]

You can freely sell organs, as long as they started inside of you

😛

[mild bridge]

bah humbug

[keen haven]

and he can regenerate

https://tenor.com/view/batman-thinking-thinking-about-you-think-thinking-of-you-gif-20503421

[mild bridge]

the effort of one crafting session. this netted me 5 levels.

The spike is.... absurd.

welp time to buy out all the ammo in the known universe again

[mild bridge]

This 40mm grenade launcher is named Zach.

no further context will be given.

yall get to figure out why on your own.

[civic drift]

||Vulture's Roost has like 20+ contraband items||

[mild bridge]

…… okay then?

[civic drift]

just, if you wanna collect a metric ton of contraband

Also, you need to get caught with contraband when flying to a UC planet to get the ||UC SysDef/Crimson Fleet|| quest line

[mild bridge]

……. Oh?

Please. Explain.

[civic drift]

And whatever you get taken can be got back, as it just gets put in a stolen items/contraband chest in the spaceport

uh, I flew to new atlantis, got caught with contraband, and got taken to an area leading to a faction quest line

[mild bridge]

Will the annoying tutorial woman give me crap about it if I do things.

[keen haven]

its basically next to my cell when i got it taken in Neon

[mild bridge]

She’s too nice.

[keen haven]

you mean blonde lady?

[mild bridge]

And doesn’t condone basically anything reasonable

[civic drift]

uhh, she's former UC so she'll probably like you doing this quest line

[mild bridge]

Tutorial annoyance. Yeah.

[keen haven]

she only gets angry at me if i commit murder

[mild bridge]

Oh okay.

Cool.

[keen haven]

im dumping her on my outpost when i eventually make it

[civic drift]

You could also just tell her to wait somewhere and leave

[mild bridge]

She got pissed at me for accidentally blowing up a UC ship

[keen haven]

now here is the weird thing

[mild bridge]

I can’t. Tutorial quest. REMEMBER?!

[keen haven]

she still reacts to me unless i tell her to wait on the ship or at the main constellation place

[civic drift]

No, I don't remember. Legitimatelly forgot what the tutorial quest was until just now.

I remember now though

[keen haven]

so if you tell her to follow you go somewhere then tell her to just wait where ever you are at the time go into the nearby building do bad things she will react to it despite not being in view of you

[mild bridge]

Yeeeaaaahhhh

[keen haven]

SOMEHOW!

[mild bridge]

She won’t leave

[keen haven]

have you tried assigning her to the outpost once your done with her stuff?

[civic drift]

anyways, yeah, you should be able to get her affinity up by doing the ||UC|| portion of the quest. But you can totally and fully side with ||the crimson fleet|| during the quest line, so if you wanna do that, well, good luck

[keen haven]

though it is annoying that i learnt even if unassigned they still just pop in on your ship

so im just going to see if i can dump everyone i dont want off my ship and at my outpost once its built

[mild bridge]

I very much want to do that second thing.

So uhhhh….. I’ll have to find a way to ditch blondie somewhere.

[keen haven]

have you at least done the starting stuff with her cause once thats done you can just straight up assign her to your base and hopefully shes gone

[civic drift]

no

gurm is adamantly refusing to do main quest stuff

and to be fair, I understand

getting railroaded is never fun

[keen haven]

well his screwing himself over then if he does want to do one of the very first quests

also wait if he has her on his ship it means he lied and did some of the quest stuff

yeh Gurm has no standing now in this argument or any more arguments on this subject in my eyes now and should just complete the stuff involving her and grab the other artefact so he can assign her elsewhere andd get rid of her

unless he just doesnt care what she thinks and does pirate things anyway

[mild bridge]

I mean these people DARE to tell me to go to a place, meaning Im not going there until Ive done just about everything else.

look for the longest time it was thought I had oppositional defiance disorder. honestly, I get where they're coming from.

[keen haven]

but you clearly listened to guy who gave you ship and went to constellation like he asked

https://tenor.com/view/will-ferrell-elf-buddy-the-elf-throne-of-lies-christmas-gif-3580667

[mild bridge]

Because the game physically wouldn’t let me do anything else

My throne is built out of half truths thank you very much.

[keen haven]

lies! unless im bothered to go back and double check which im not

so lies!

[mild bridge]

Gasp!

[keen haven]

but its you only have to go grab a second strange metal object and then tell her to piss off and or assign her to your outpost to never be seen again

https://tenor.com/view/rick-morty-rick-and-morty-20minutes-adventure-quick-adventure-gif-22364490

[mild bridge]

Yeahhhh…… I’m not gonna do that.

You say it’s gonna be 20 minutes. We both know it ain’t.

[keen haven]

actually it weirdly is

its probably even less then 20 mins

you literally just land look around maybe kill a few weak buggers then just grab it then return

and she just askes you mind if a tag along tell her no (she somehow might follow you anyway but isnt assigned) and you can just assign her to your outpost so she doesnt cling to your ship

...... oh my god the companions are genestealers

[mild bridge]

https://tenor.com/view/jojo-bizzare-adventure-rohan-kishibe-i-refuse-gif-26066583

[keen haven]

they just get on you ship somehow even after you say no

then you can suffer your foolishness

unless you kill her no idea if thats a thing

[charred flower]

Oh, huh

Crimson fleet shipyard has some nice anti-scan stuff in the equipment menu

And strangely, you can use multiple of these

So I'm questioning if me using two that say 50%, if they stack or not

[charred flower]

Anyway its nice to be a typhon again

:3

[charred flower]

Uh

There seems to be a major flaw in neon security

Uh, so uh yeah, you can smuggle as much aurora out of the city with minimal effort, just by walking out the main exit

||Apparently, using the ship menu to open up ship cargo and then swapping to the inventory in that menu, with the ships item transfer range of 250, your ship will be within the range you can 'magically' transport items to it, before you walk through that cage scanner||

That... Seems like an oversight

They make that long walkway up to the scanner, but didn't bother to put it at the actual range of the limitation

I mean I don't need to use aurora, but one of the researches needs 2 of it, so kinda need to get some somehow

[charred flower]

I am disappointed by the Scow ship
||You are sent to grab an artefact from a collectors ship, apparently I can kill people, open the display case and loot the entire room, but the moment I touch the artefact, I get a bounty and the whole ship turns hostile for no reason, no alarm, no nothing||

Also apparently the game AI decides just because it sees a corpse, even if they are a friendly NPC you are meant to follow, that they should immediately turn hostile

Seriously though the devs must be brain dead

||I took his vault key, I broke holes in the ship on the path to the super secure special vault. Theres a HOLE IN THE WALL right next to the quest objective||
||His entire security detail for the area, including the receptionist have 'vanished'||
You cannot justify the stupid hive mind BS of the one specific thing

[charred flower]

Ok yeah

this game is actually annoying me lowkey now

Plot apparently completely ignores powers

[mild bridge]

wat

but plot GAVE YOU powers

[charred flower]

||I have detect life, but the moment plot requires detect life to not work so an enemy can go and attack someone in the room behind me, suddenly I can't detect life||

And the power literally states I should be able to sense them

[mild bridge]

thats, a load of bullshit.

[charred flower]

||I explicitly had it loaded up, I kept using it, and the related NPC has to run over to the scripted area, so that the enemy can just spawn behind them for a hostage situation||

I explicitly saw the scripting of that event

[mild bridge]

||and we can't just shoot the guy holding them hostage with a 40mm grenade launcher because?||

||the NPC will live. worst comes to worse theres some necromancy.||

[charred flower]

||Because he is double your player level and has way too much dang HP||

||So I have a L400+ enemy||

[mild bridge]

||wait, like, legitimately, DOUBLE?!||

||WHAT THE FUCK GAME||

[charred flower]

||Its either scripted to be level 400+, or its just under double your level||

[vale pawn]

Lol found the anti Gurm measures

[mild bridge]

||thats some complete BS.||

[mild bridge]

yeah, and Ill shoot him, and it will be a glorious battle.

You underestimate how many combat drugs I have

I have all of them.

[charred flower]

And I'm level 295

[mild bridge]

............

he should be 590

[charred flower]

Either way, its stupidly high for no apparent reason

[mild bridge]

hm

welp

Ill kill him

trust me.

Ill get it done.

they decided theres supposed to be an unkillable enemy. I laugh at that.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/906012065171374100/1119339860688379904/image0.gif

[charred flower]

I'm on easy, with max level in basically all of my main skills and bonus skills. I've not dented the armour bar properly yet, I have a higher stagger chance than change I'll deal 1% hp

[mild bridge]

look Jaz.

Ima kill him.

its my goal now.

there will be blood. shed. the man in the mirror nods his head.

Im on ultrahard. I will find a way to kill him.

[charred flower]

By definition, I have 4000 ammo. I might be able to keep staggering him to hell and killing him

I've gotten down a third of his first armour bar

[mild bridge]

just 4000?

[charred flower]

Its my active primary weapon yeah

So thats my main ammo expending weapon

[mild bridge]

hm.... thats not great.

Ive got about 10K on my main weapon.

and ittle keep growin.

because now I hear I need to go slaughter the galaxy, max out my combat tree, and then come back with every combat drug I can find.

[charred flower]

I would recommend it yeah

I'm just spamming hits on him now though, this is free levelling

Bullet sinks are great for skill xp

[mild bridge]

are they?

why are you getting XP from bullet sinks.

[charred flower]

OH WAIT OH

I DO HAVE A GUN

The one I avoid due to the fact I can die from it

[mild bridge]

USE THE GUUUUUUN

KILL HIMMMMMMM

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOOOOOOOOOOD

[charred flower]

:/

He despawned

I'm... Actually annoyed

Welcome to 'save scum the stupid plot enemy'

[mild bridge]

..... welp

have fun!

[charred flower]

Yeah

He despawns

I managed to speedrun that one

My 1k ammo special gun does a bit too much damage

Theres a reason I avoid using it

Oh god

The bounty for firing it in a public space

15000 per gunshot

@mild bridge I shot my gun twice

I had to know what happened if I shot it into a crowd

[mild bridge]

……

Jaz what is that gun

[charred flower]

Yes

[mild bridge]

I see

[charred flower]

Would it upset you to know this is a shotgun?

[mild bridge]

That’s bull.

[mild bridge]

Nope

[charred flower]

"By the way I'm not usually bested in combat, heres a reward"
Lolwhut

Well I guess I got something useless for beating him and forcing a teleport away instead of waiting the timer down

[charred flower]

The main thing that makes shotguns way too OP is ||'hornets nest'||

[mild bridge]

No

[charred flower]

Everything else is secondary to that one upgrade

[mild bridge]

You can put THAT ON A SHOTGUN

WHY

[charred flower]

It actually nukes everything

[mild bridge]

I KNOW

WHY CAN YOU PUT THAT ON A SHOTGUN

[charred flower]

Its my ace in the hole gun

It works

Oh and if you are wondering what super powerful special weapon I get for besting a level 400+ enemy:

@mild bridge more plot breaking BS, ||I can't detect characters who are awaiting me to trigger their death cutscenes||

[mild bridge]

[charred flower]

Or no it just seems that the magic glowy powers that can tell me enemies through walls, can't tell me the NPCs who are suppose to be a 'surprise' to the outcome of their lives

[charred flower]

Nope, just Vlad being Vlad. Possibly a vampire, an undead

Almost like they weren't consistent with their own end game superpowers

[mild bridge]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

honestly.

what it feels like to me Jaz

is that they added those last minute

and then kinda completely forgot they added them

I have a feeling a decent ammount of that will be fixed up later.

also annoying to know that I CANT KILL THE ONLY ENEMY THAT WILL EVER BE AN ACTUAL CHALLENGE

look Im just saying that a beowulf does some mad deeps

[charred flower]

Build this thing on the ship, that no shipyard has in any menu, and will be given no indication to the existence of any way to actually achieve the mission.

The whole game is 'added last minute' at this rate

[mild bridge]

yay

look the whole shipyard was probably added last minute

we all know the jank of those menus

[thin pilot]

Still, its better then like 75% of space games and their menu's

[charred flower]

Oh apparently this whole main quest is just bugged crashing and softlocking

And here I thought they just forgot to show it in the menu, but no they forgot to add the thing to the game, people saying console can't fix this

[mild bridge]

oh okay, so its just completely bugged. a god damned main quest.

[charred flower]

Oh actually no, they just never actually conveyed how to actually do it

[mild bridge]

.................................

see this, this kinda garbage is why Im actually avoiding the MSQ

I dont want it just completely breaking on me.

[charred flower]

They tell you to build it on your ship or an outpost
But by 'build on your ship' they actually mean a panel next to the cargohold on a ship, that has never had an interaction button before, that suddenly now exists and is the thing you have to interact with

[thin pilot]

weird, i didn't have anybreaks

[charred flower]

Not 'go to a shipyard' or anything else, but a random screen you have to interact with thats not even had an interact button before, inside the ship

And they choose to use the word 'build'

[charred flower]

Seems the actual issue is when people want to move it from an outpost to their ship, it can corrupt everything

[charred flower]

Honestly one of my main issues with games like fallout and starfield, that try to do the whole 'companions have opinions' is the fact they can't just stfu when I'm actively lying to a person to get information, they have to decide because I'm deceiving someone by agreeing with them, that I obviously cnanot ever possibly lie about anything ever

I'm saying I admire a literal serial killers commitment, do you REALLY have to take me seriously Barret?

Oh no, I tried to be civil and spoke to someone religious about religion. Time for Barret to be on my ass because he can't understand that science is in itself a miracle.

[mild bridge]

is it just me, or do basically all the companion options in this game just.... suck.

[charred flower]

Yeah I regularly look up at space and science and go "Who actually cares, its all just numbers, I should be cynical about it and not care that everything fits so perfectly into sync as a magical painting of reality"

When I look at the entire universe and think about how every mystery ever solved, wasn't magic; that it just fuels my cynicism and that I should see no beauty because everything is just fixed

I actively hate companions because you can't argue or pursuade them to change their fixed behaviour patterns, and they refuse to reason. They refuse to see what you say as a lie or placating someone. If I joked with some pirate about killing a person, just to make them my friend, I'd expect these 'companions' would write a bounty about it themselves if they could

[mild bridge]

pretty much.

which is hwy Im really annoyed I picked a perk that requires me to have a human companion for its benefits

because I thought that the companion options would be REASONABLE AND GOOD

YA KNOW

LIKE THEY WERE IN OTHER BETHESDA GAMES

[charred flower]

And for anyone wondering, yes that was entirely sarcasm. You don't need to be cynical to learn about the world, you don't need to only see numbers when you look into the night sky. Theres absolutely no reason why most things can't be fine

You can appreciate things without being scientific or religious. Theres more to learn than from one viewpoint

[mild bridge]

well, hopefully Andreja isn't a massive goodie too shoes like everyone else.

[thin pilot]

VASCO is the perfect companion, doesn't bitch about carrying my goods or genocide

[mild bridge]

...... alright screw it, whats the console command for the character creator.

I know there is one.

Im tired of having this stupid human companion perk

unless theres some in game way to change it.

[charred flower]

NG+?

[mild bridge]

seriously?

NG+?!

[charred flower]

I dunno

Does NG+ let you change perks?

[mild bridge]

Even the game’s new game plus feature doesn’t allow you to change your character’s background or traits, though the game does allow you to remove traits in specific ways. We have not found a way to learn new traits in the game.

so no.

alright

CONSOLE COMMAND IT IS

or well

that would remove achivements....

this is so stupid. legitimately.

THERES AN IN GAME WAY TO REMOVE IT

[charred flower]

The mods you likely install if you ended up using mods, that make console commands not disable achievements?

[mild bridge]

The Extrovert Trait allows you to exert less oxygen when adventuring with human companions, but uses up more when going it alone. If you want to fly solo without the detriment, you can speak to the head of the Church of Enlightened, located in The Well of New Atlantis on Jemison. Speaking with them, you can be coached into dropping your Extrovert nature.

nah Im just gonna use the in game method

this trait is stupid

and I don like it

literally I tacked on extrovert as the final trait becuease all the others seemed like junk

I will not miss it

finally found some supirior gear

it looks really stupid

but the stats are just that much better

[charred flower]

I'm gonna have to work out what the heck I'm gonna do about the fact that I can't add traits on NG+ then, because I didn't want to 'suffer' with penalties without knowing the game but now they decide you can't do anything? I don't even know if console would work properly with adding traits

[mild bridge]

you can add traits with console.

https://www.ign.com/wikis/starfield/All_Trait_and_Background_IDs

go have fun

and my character is now no longer an extrover

VASCO GET OVER HERE! I HAVE NEED OF ROBOTIC COMPANIONSHIP!

DAMNIT

LEAVE

I DONT WANT YOU HERE

fine. I guess Ill do enough MSQ to make her leave.

then ittle just be me and Vasco vs the universe

hm. well. this place seems to get a lot of incidents.

[charred flower]

Jokes on you, I don't know how to open console

[mild bridge]

`

same as every other bethesda game

[charred flower]

Didn't work when I tried it earlier the other day I didn't think?

[mild bridge]

well theres always a pre command in bethesda games to enable cheats

or at least typically

idk

this is also the first bethesda game that warns you that this dissables cheats

[charred flower]

Acheatments?

😛

But no, grave doesn't open console for me

comma

Tf

Apostrophe

Whatever

why

[mild bridge]

its the grave key

unless you rebound things

also, hide.... from 3 level 3 ships?!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

SARAH YOU FOOL BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOOOOOOOOOOOODS

okay they're level 14

same difference

[charred flower]

Nope, apostrophe and all peeps online are saying the @ symbol variant

[mild bridge]

Wat

[charred flower]

Either way I think I'm right, can't add the traits I want, just gotta hope the game for NG+ behaves properly

[civic drift]

it's the tilda symbol that opens console commands

~

[somber creek]

The tilde key also has the grave symbol on it

[charred flower]

Nope, thats keyboard specific

[mild bridge]

OH CRAP. THIS MISSION SCALED

[charred flower]

Just like your 3 key might not have the £

[mild bridge]

GREAT

[charred flower]

Which

[mild bridge]

story.

I was expecting something like ya know, some level 5s

[charred flower]

The L400 thing? Or something before? XD

[mild bridge]

and then a level 76 popped his head out

[charred flower]

Yeah most missions scale enemies up to L100

[mild bridge]

and Im 95

[charred flower]

They forgot what levels were after L100 besides the one I've found

[mild bridge]

I think NG+ might encapulate those levels

hard to saaaaay

either way, this mission gonna be proffitable!

[mild bridge]

wow starfield characters cannot take a joke

at all

thats just stupid

[charred flower]

Mhmm

100% serious, 100% of the time

Never joking, because that joke might fall outside of their bias parameters for their one dimensional personality

[mild bridge]

yup

vasco now holds all of my non healy drugs

good vasco

good drug robo

now to get caught with some harvested organs

I feel like I was supposed to be spawned INSIDE the cell.

oh well

[charred flower]

Well it wasn't locked anyway

[mild bridge]

Rook Meets King ||well Im planning on killing all of you ANYWAYS. I mean how much do you think the crimson fleet would like me if I just single handedly slaughtered an entire UC battleship?!||

[charred flower]

Lol wait what? What is he even responding to

[civic drift]

Gotta do that in UC space

freestar Collective is a different faction

[mild bridge]

yeah I reloaded a save and did it properly

[mild bridge]

||well the crimson fleet asked me to kill this guy on a ship, and I didn't feel like dealing with ship combat so I demanded they let me board them, and before they said anything I killed the entire crew with a hand grenade.||

||he didn't like that. so Im hoping Im going to get an option to just kill them all. if not, Ill just kill them myself||

[civic drift]

I’m a little sad that you’re siding with the ||crimson fleet|| cause ||commander ikande|| is actually super wholesome

[vale pawn]

wow even I didn't f*ck it up that bad

yea Ikande is a good man

[civic drift]

Like, he genuinely is super caring and wants as little bloodshed as possible, even for the ||crimson fleet||

I really hate the crimson fleet

They’re a very hypocritical group

[thin pilot]

Their pirates

[mild bridge]

I wasn’t fucking it up, I was being EFFICIENT

[mild bridge]

I believe you, but my first playthroughs are always me being super evil, so that when I NG+ I can actually be a good guy.

I did this in AC6.

It’s just how I do.

[civic drift]

I didn’t realize Armored Core actually had morality choices

I only got to the wall

[mild bridge]

Yeah it does

Kinda

In a way

[civic drift]

Beat the boss but I haven’t gone further

[mild bridge]

It’s complicated

I recommend finishing it at least once

[mild bridge]

https://youtu.be/X-OsB02dLAg?si=tjyn0_9Bx42ngWKj

[vale pawn]

||Efficient is boarding, Finding the single former pirate she wants dead and killing HIM
and leaving.
Throwing a grenade is the psychopath route.||

||Hell even the pirate didn't want all of them dead||

[mild bridge]

||she actually specifically reccomended blowing the whole ship up when I asked her.||

[vale pawn]

Pretty sure there was a not in that recommendation

[mild bridge]

I literally, asked her.

she said "the only way to make sure he's dead is to turn that ship into a floating scrap heap"

or something along those lines

well there was no option for murder

Im dissapointed.

welp. time for a bit of save n slaughter.

OH COME ON. THERES STILL ESSENTIAL NPCS?!

STARFIELD

YOURE BETTER THAN THIS

[vale pawn]

Way more than you think too

[mild bridge]

well I guess Im NOT doing this then

Kibwe, not essential, his right hand, essential. at least 5 random crew members, essential, probably the turrets are essential at this point.

I just

guess IM NOT doing that

given that at least half htis crew will just get back up anyways.

Crimson fleet ||these seem like nice people. casual murder over 12K credits.||

[mild bridge]

so uhhh, how does one..... actually..... design a ship in starfield?

or is that even worth it?

do ships carry over to NG+?

[charred flower]

Nope

Not as far as I know?

[mild bridge]

greaaaaat

[charred flower]

Thats what I looked up and got major spoilers that ruined NG+ for me

And in the end ships don't carry over, so I learnt it for nothing and gained too much

[mild bridge]

hm

so basically..... theres no real point in building a unique spetzle ship

guess Ill jut stick with the ship as is.

okay can Vasco stop dissapearing into the void?

I swear every time I fast travel he just randomly chooses to cease to exist

[charred flower]

Sometimes he'll end up loaded into the ship

[mild bridge]

well thats nice

[mild bridge]

kinda wish all the superior gear Im finding didn't LOOK LIKE COMPLETE GARBAGE

[charred flower]

Don't forget you can also re-skin gear but only certain ones and only when they tell you to

And only for specific things none of the common weapons or gear only very specific ones and then only to specific skins

AKA the constellations skin that only applies to certain items

[mild bridge]

Ill see if I even have any skins

pretty certain I dont

[keen haven]

i only know its usually saying that cause you need to combine it with shielded cargo

im pretty sure proxima also sells them too

i just couldnt get them at the time

[mild bridge]

more Crimson Fleet questy stuff ||well now thats quite mean. I think if you calmly explain to them that given the recent destruction, if any more such things happen, there will be no more parties from here on, everyone would probably shape up. probably. I mean prisoners are generally reasonable people.||

||THAT IS ONE BIG ANGRY BUG||

[civic drift]

I wish they gave legendary enemies more stuff than just 3 extra health bars

[mild bridge]

......... thats...... now theres a legendary weapon............ by the nine.........

[mild bridge]

I think of them as elites, not so much legendaries.

[civic drift]

they're legendary according to the game but i get it

[mild bridge]

yeah. oh well, this gun..... its gonna chew through ammo but.... nothing is going to live through it.

I dont think Im gonna find a better pistol any time soon

ew full auto.... gonna have to fix that.

the more I do the crimson fleet quests..... Im not saying theyre good people, but..... they also arent complete scum.

I also wish there were more evil options in this quest chain. I feel like no matter what i do Im going to end up being a good guy at the end of this, making all of my eviling just make me feel bad.

[keen haven]

me over here not even caring whether there good or bad im just doing it

[mild bridge]

Dinga = Sociopath confirmed?

[vale pawn]

thought that was understood by now

[thin pilot]

One step further gurm

[mild bridge]

wait wait wait..... did..... did they put in.... nooooo.... they didn't......

doing breaking the bank, ||this dude just said that all these starliners are equiped with "acoustic threat detection"..... if thats what I think it is, thats hilarious.||

||thats gotta be a referance to the sub implosion..... by the nine.....||

annnd I got conversation railroaded again.

DONT GIVE ME OPTIONS

IF YOU ARENT GOING TO LET ME USE THEM

GAME

[mild bridge]

checks out

[keen haven]

also you wont be surviving after that infomation anyway

https://tenor.com/view/forrest-gump-running-me-when-im-late-tom-hanks-gif-5144739

[mild bridge]

yeah, didnt expect to.

could you at least give me a few more decades to figure out what I want done with my body first?

Break the Bank ||I knew I shoulda just put a bullet through that execs head..... but that woulda caused so many more problems. Thanks weegy for the Empath reccomendation. been real nice.||

[keen haven]

Pays the doctors to remove that from Gurms genes

[mild bridge]

again, I just.... it seems that no matter what I do, all thats gonna end up happening is the good guy ending. this doesnt seem to even remotely be a splitting quest, just one with a bunch of worse options along the way.

They’ve done splitting quests before. I know they can. So why isn’t this a splitter?

[keen haven]

also damn did Starfield just drop kick a heck load of powers my way it was literally one after the other for me

[mild bridge]

Probably because you blitzed the main story

[keen haven]

ive barely done it actually

im not joking when i literally meaning i got dropped kicked with powers

got the first one then it said i only had to fly to 2 of the other planet in the same system to get more

[mild bridge]

Huh

[keen haven]

like out of nowhere i got 3 or 4 powers with extreme ease

literally unlike the first one where you gotta search through some weird thing they were just within view of where i landed for the rest "right where am i going" sees thing "oh right over there"

[mild bridge]

alright more Crimson Fleet things ||I now have the option to shoot my way through an entire UC base. Ima do it. because if that doesnt show where my true loyalties lie, I DONT KNOW WHAT WILL GAME.||

||"keep your cover and everything will be fine!" fires 40mm grenade launcher "WHAT?!"||

Well said Vasco

[keen haven]

there was better things that he said

i just dont remember them

[mild bridge]

oh he says all sorts of great lines

lots about struggle being futile

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh3axJgz-lY

[mild bridge]

ahem. this was here the entire time and totally enver in the cyberpunk chat. nope.

[charred flower]

Kill kill kill

[mild bridge]

||I GET TO DO THIS MY WAY||
||oh hey, they arent essential anymore. WONDERFUL.||
||wait no, theres still some essentials. ah well. hopefully they stay down.||

[charred flower]

XD

[mild bridge]

long story short ||he sicced the entire fleet on me, I flipped him the bird, and grav jumpped in less than a second.||

||Im an enemy of the entire UC now! woup woup!||

||man Sarah is gonna be PISSED.||

[vale pawn]

How does that work with ||the Lodge being IN a UC city?||

[charred flower]

XD

'With difficulty'

[mild bridge]

I DONT KNOW!

probably a lotta bloodshed every time I go to land.

honestly, probably an oversight.

[keen haven]

ah thats the moment i was thinking about when you said something earlier

[vale pawn]

actually they probably just deny you landing rights

[mild bridge]

as I said

it will get messy.

theres a reason the beowulf is my main rifle

everyone uses 7.77

also it gets semi auto bonuses even though if you click fast enough its basically full auto

[keen haven]

could probably just teleport straight to the lodge

just have to run in real fast depending on where guards are

[charred flower]

No witnesses means no problems

No civilization means no bounty

Loads hornets nest shotgun with serial killing intent

[keen haven]

release the void dragon

[mild bridge]

see. Jaz gets it.

[keen haven]

is this hornets nest shotgun the big one

cause i found big one and it was even bigger then usually cause it had an extra barrel on it

so it basically looked like a big military sniper but was a shotgun

[charred flower]

No, its just the ammo mod

Which really has no place on a shotgun

But apparently is a thing

[mild bridge]

yeah

I got no idea why its there

[keen haven]

me with no idea if ive seen this before cause i usually forget whats on my guns

mainly cause i havent dabbled in the customising weapons so on

[mild bridge]

I hate ship combat

it was done better in Galaxy on Fire 2, a god damned mobile game from 2009

how is your ship combat WORSE, than a mobile game from 2009?!

[mild bridge]

crimson fleet ||and thus, Ive taken over the capital ship of SysDef. now what.||

[civic drift]

Uh

You now have a ||level 100 ship I guess?||

Idk what siding with them actually does for ya

Just continue the ||crimson fleet quest line to find Kryx’s legacy I guess?||

[mild bridge]

||no, you get a giant series of turrets to nuke down its literally invulnurable shields, and then the entire crimson fleet burns it down, then you boarding party it with all the freinds you made along the way.||

||its really really cool! ITS A SHAME SHIP COMBAT IN THIS GAME GIVES ME PHYSICAL PAIN.||

[civic drift]

It’s really not that bad

[mild bridge]

||already did that. gave me a sweet gun.||

[mild bridge]

see the issue there, is that you arent using what is effectively a cargo liner to fight with.

[civic drift]

I’ve posted my monstrosity on here before

It’s a big target

I get hit a lot

But I keep my shields and guns up to date with my level

also got this really cool gun for finding ||the legacy. Krixes own gun, its a monster. also my cut of the legacy was 250K, so thats shiny.||

[mild bridge]

yeah see, Ive got 2 auto turrets and a dinky missile launcher.

when I said cargo liner

I meant cargo liner

this thing is not meant for battle

at all

if I was smart I would have bought a powerful A class fighter. but I forgot to.

[civic drift]

Well that’s your own fault, go put more guns on it

[mild bridge]

no. NG+ is just gonna strip it all away.

[civic drift]

You can’t complain about how awful the space combat is but not even really participate in it by having next to no weapons

Like of course it’s gonna suck

[mild bridge]

........... look I didn't like it even when I used a ship that had weapons.

thats ship with weapons may or may not have been the constilations ship, but it definately had more firepower than what Im currently using.

[civic drift]

I guess I enjoy the space combat mechanics more than most

I haven’t had any issue with it

[mild bridge]

fair I guess

I mean also I play on ultrahard which just makes everything painful

typically I end up swapping down to very easy for ship combat.

[civic drift]

I have my difficulty set to very hard at the moment

I was previously on normal

[mild bridge]

hm

ya know

I might just be bad at ship combat

well, with my new stupid number of credits, Im off to make my nice trucking ship into a combat monster so I don't have to deal with this kind of nonsense again.

[civic drift]

Good call

If you want some advice, the enemies always aim for the center of where your ship would be

[mild bridge]

I know

[civic drift]

Make the hollow cube monster!

[mild bridge]

I said upgrade

not build

I really do not like the menu system and I aint messin with that

Im just gonna strap more guns on

ohhhhh THATS how they did it

I became enemies of SysDef, NOT the UC itself

theres seperation.

so Im still able to land and deal with UC systems.

[mild bridge]

ship is now upgraded

it will now probbaly do fairly well in actual combat

now that it has actual weapons

only took..... 70 grand.....

annnnd now Im gonna go sleep forever or something.

[civic drift]

Have good sleep

IM BAAAAACKKKKK.

moar starfield time.

quite honestly, Im actually really happy with how the crimson fleet questline went.

final thoughts/spoilers ahead ||I wish you could break away from sysdef earlier, but thats fine enough I guess. the motivations and actual lore behind the Crimson fleet make them feel like actual people. Those who were down on their luck wanting to make something of themselves and sure, the way they went about it.... kinda murdery but.... In a game like this.... Well its a world of greys. The whole questline goes though that. Everyone you meet and deal with, they aren't some paragon or some complete evil doer... except Ikande, he's a good lad. He's really trying. Overall, Im actually happy with the choice I made. It felt less being evil, and more like I was helping the people I wanted to help. Strange isn't it? At least I think it is.||

[mild bridge]

annnnd my ship STILL sucks post upgrades. where the hell is the save before I upgraded. I ain't dealing with losing 70K for nothing

that save doesnt exist.... god damnit.

welp

bye bye 70K
