What's the deal More planets to visit, more storylines to play out, more skills that open up more activities within the game. I just finished an infiltration questline that was really satisfying, and just started it at around 50 hours played. I'm at 60 hours played now. Doing all the major side questlines is worth doing and they are several hours each. I just got 250,000 credits from one questline. The game could just not be for you which is fine.

I played through the "Into the Unknown" quest and unlocked the first power without wandering off into the weeds too much. Am I good to go gently caress around and do whatever now or is there some other major subsystem or thing that I should do the main story more to unlock?

How the hell do I raise/lower buildings when building outposts? I'm trying to build the large ship pad with ship services, but it's like 3 stories tall.

CLAM DOWN posted:that's coward talk Literally, it won't let you build a ship with more than 12 power drain for a weapon type. Nitpicking question about Vanguard questline Terrormorphs are endemic to Jemison aren't they? Like every other long-settled world. So shouldn't they have defences in-place against something like the spaceport attack? Floppychop posted:How the hell do I raise/lower buildings when building outposts? I'm trying to build the large ship pad with ship services, but it's like 3 stories tall. It has stairs on one side. Make sure you rotate it correctly so it's pointing towards the main part of your outpost.

FeculentWizardTits posted:Bad CEO: "Ha ha ha, I have you over a barrel now, my lifelong nemesis!" I just did this mission and I honestly thought I'd skipped something by accident or it had bugged out. I fully thought that Good CEO had managed to convince Bad CEO there was a theoretical possibility of a peaceful outcome and that it was now going to be time to actually do Persuades or pay a bribe or something to actually bring that about. But uh... nope.  Impermanent posted:Why do people say the game gets better after 13 hours. Do you unlock something at that point. What's the deal It's an exaggerated number, but basically once the game lets you loose without forcing a companion or path on you, it starts getting a lot better in a hurry. You get access to side quests and faction questlines (Many of which are much better than the MQ), and you can go do whatever stuff actually appeals to you most, be that building a cool spaceship or bounty hunting or scanning alien lifeforms or whatever,

Is there a ModOrganizer type tool for Starfield yet? For Skyrim, the original ModOrganizer was great, but now there's like ModOrganizer2 but it handled files in a different way and not as good? I presume there's already an Unofficial Patch that fixes stuff Bethesda forgets to.

Mods are very weak at the moment, mostly changing specific hidding settings or replacing a texture. They can't get deep enough into the guts to fix bugs yet. Give it a couple of weeks.

I've come to the conclusion that workshop modules are a trap because you can use any workbench and it'll pull materials from your cargo hold regardless of how far away it is, so you might as well skip the headache of the weird interior door layouts. It's not like you'll be modifying your gear all that often anyways and you can fast travel to the Lodge or wherever super quick. Haven't figured out if the Armory module is worth it yet because swapping guns can be something done frequently (like pulling out your spacer gun for boarding actions). Still trying to decide how many crew and passenger slots I want. Don't know if I should be happy or sad that extra mechanics like shipboard hydroponics don't exist or I'd have to decide if I want those too.

You just need to talk to specific people, but there might be quest orders for some stuff, and you can't talk to some people until you do other stuff. I've only done a bit of the main quest. Basically Sam and his stuff is where I stopped and started doing a lot of side stuff.

My best decision was making my character a sad old man who is always barefoot in his long johns, wandering everywhere like a violent Alzheimer's patient, not paying attention to what anyone says.

Schwawa posted:has anyone made a mod to skip the absurdly long animation for getting into and out of the pilot's seat yet? I had a quick look on nexus but couldn't see anything. Lol I've done that when trying to respond to hails and also I'm combat. Once I finally got back in the seat only for the ship to immediately explode because I'd just been taking hits for all that time

Impermanent posted:Why do people say the game gets better after 13 hours. Do you unlock something at that point. What's the deal By then you are probably past the intro quest bullshit and have either upgraded or replaced the hot garbage starter ship and are free to gently caress about to your hearts content. It took me about that long on my first go round because I wasn’t familiar with all the systems. Subsequent play? About two hours. Note I abandoned my previous game because I didn’t like some decisions I had made in retrospect. So far the best quest in the game is the UC/pirates storyline. For Clam Down: all particle beams all the time. I’m running just 3 on a class B and it’s shredding pirates in systems 25+ levels above me. I’m about to upgrade to four and really put the fear of The Mantis into them.

Floor is lava posted:i guessed the terrormorph origin very early on and i hate that i was right This one is absolutely hilarious to me since even without having finished that Questline, it was so incredibly obvious where they come from. It's another part of the horrible writing pile, of which there are so many. Your character is continously the smartest person in the entire universe and you can never show it at any time. So many times the solution to something is obvious the minute you're introduced to it, but you can never mention it. Like andreja: "Player character, I have to admit something about my origin. This will shock you, I'm sorry I had to keep it a secret. I'm from house varuun. I was doing a mental blank stare at that point, was that in any way supposed to be a secret and not obvious after 5 minutes of talking to you? Hell, you're the only one dressed like them! And then one of your character answer options is "I guess I got to shoot you now" like dude come on, we're not even enemies with that faction in any way! Why!? Or the villain in the rangers questline. you're telling me the only person of power outside of pirates and your own faction is the bad guy? A storyline that has been done in every second bonanza episode that I watched as a kid? say it ain't so! and its revealed in an almost comedic "you wanna know the truth? You can't handle the truth! Last chance to walk away before I blow your mind! It was *insert only possible option*. At this point I'm treating the writing like a feature, not a bug, because it's like if a russian pokemon romhacker from 2005 got access to a game studio. It's so bad. Or the persuasion skill. "i can be so annoying, just give me the key to the safe" "hm okay I see you'll not let it go. Have the key to the safe". People saying there's no comedy in the game need to reconcider, the entire writing is a big parody of video game writing, like a "do not do this" at devry. (Despite all of this I'm loving the package this game brings, best use of game pass in recent memory, don't regret spending 20 bux to play early at all either. But come on, please hire a single competent writer. People are saying it was written by chat gpt. Frankly, that would have been an improvement)

 I did it. I added poo poo to the Frontier. All it took was one little task from the Mission Board to deliver some poo poo to the conveniently located planet where Red Mile is at. And now I got an All-in-One, Science Lab, Workshop Lab, Captains Quarters, two shielded cargo holds, a jammer, two extra engines, and a beefier grav drive to push this poo poo through. Total cost: 38kish.

I vaguely remember reading 'changing reactor type changes ship class', but maybe that was just inferring that from the requirement in the ship builder, I can't remember widespread posted:Oh. Aw. No clue, my understanding is it's... not shallow exactly, but a fairly short game (which isn't bad!). If it vibes for you it's probably a fun time. I think I was just doubly repulsed both because the subject matter, and coming from the New Vegas pedigree, I was expecting a lot more from them writing wise.

Does anyone know what the Shock Charge Bands muzzle mod do? There isn't any listed energy damage like there is with Whiteout Rounds, and when shooting enemies I don't see an electricity effect. (Some kind of greenish poison effect, but that might be from the Depleted Uranium).

I don't even understand what their point is and I've been fine without them so I could've gone another fifty really it was just chance. So yeah you don't have to do that poo poo until forever really. Only thing requiring it is the main questline and finishing the game I assume

Update on my magnum opus:  Filled in frame with structural elements. Shifted around habs so that there are no unwanted ladders. To do: finalize look of ship rear and upgrade remaining components. Do something with the centerline ridge, it just looks off. Fine-tune color scheme.
