I totally understand, but I'm stoked for a human-only "Battletech" sci-fi. It's been a while since we got something like that. I'd wager that expanding Starfield with DLC would be super trivial compared to previous games because they don't need to worry about how the new stuff will interact with the existing stuff. They can just slap a jumpgate somewhere and say "whoa, here's a new stellar cluster with some aliens in it, have fun"

I kinda doubt it's gonna turn into an Alien Gallimaufry.

But as to expanding the map, it's even easier than that. The game gates section off space of via max jump distance. Introduce a new grav drive with a few extra lightyears and suddenly new stars are in range here here and here. And then all the associated stars in range of them.

I mean there's a 1000 planets already most of which most people will never visit and a lot of them are going to be pretty barren, I'm assuming most modders making new locations will just pick one and replace it with whatever they want to add. (Howard specifically said that he hopes modders will do).

Adding more planets seems excessive. i mean possible people will do it for what ever reason, but it really doesn't seem like an essential thing for modding unless it turns out to be really hard to change existing planets, which with how much they most of had to do when creating and testing the game feels like it's probably not the case.

thoughts on characters you want to RP as?

from sci-fi media, so far I'm planning for:

-Jean-Luc Picard (diplomat, good at ship combat, explorer, with a Riker-type companion)
-Ridley (bad-rear end space trucker lady)
-Cooper from Interstellar (farmer, pilot, explorer)

I also want to do a neon space rat cyber runner hacker.

Just hard to decide what to do as my main.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
