there's a lot of people mad about landing/takeoff in Starfield being a cutscene and not something you actually do, but I feel like you'd have to be a complete pervert to actually want to go through that kind of tedium every loving time you want to do anything, especially in regards to landing.

im the complete pervert because its my ship baby, built it with my own two thumbsticks. of course i want constant glory shots of my baby. only one that i dont like is the docking one, because you dont get to see your sex motorcycle starship

Top 5 things I feel like are just dipped that they should not have done:
1. The boost pack skill is absolutely mandatory given that theres no space car and i cant believe they gate it and make you do a bunch of skill challenges and dump 4 levels into it before traversal becomes even slightly tolerable
2. are you kidding me with these skills that just give you access to outpost buildings
3. unable to craft med packs or ammo.
4. cant upgrade a gun with good mods and legendary effects to the better prefix tiers (eg you get a sweet shotgun but its not Advanced so you cant ever improve it and its deprecated by any white item from your own level once you hit 25 or so)
5. ship creator has parts locked to specific locations that you cant buy for your outpost construction pad or otherwise 'bank' so you have to shuttle between five locations over and over if you want to have all the most interesting bits, particularly since these bits are largely cosmetic like cool lookin' hab or bridge idgi; plus you cant pick where doors and ladders go, no stairs, and if you modify a ship anything you had loose inside it goes into storage so you cant really live in a ship and decorate it unless you never modify it again what the f

I see we are at the "actually everyone who expected a basic feature multiple games handle in interesting and fun ways is a freak pervert" point in the cycle and I've got to agree. It's a great game and the haters are probably all degenerates. In fact I know they are.

the best gun to find in starfield is an advanced something with a low fire rate and high damage/accuracy (so its ammo efficient) with one of the common ammo types like 7.77 or 15x25 and an elemental effect. doesnt matter what mods it has on it because you can change those yourself. an advanced beowulf or breach with a special prefix is probably the best drop in the whole game.

It's funny how the grendel and beowulf use the same ammo type but the beowulf of a given tier deals i think 12x the damage per round like there are so many trap guns that just run you out of ammo instantly because the base weapon damage is bad and fire rate in this game is the enemy

I think most of the van buren ideas ended up in that fallout bible thing, I dunno if there was a full script for it. A fair amount of it got repurposed for new vegas iirc

i havent been having the ammo problem so far. sure ill run out on my favorite guns but ive been pretty dilligent with spending my credits on my ammo at every vendor that i can. im also limiting myself to a couple of guns per sortee, for inventory management sanity and selling off any surplus ammo i pick up

you can easily keep yourself in ammo by blowing all your money on it but its easy to save money by just never selling ammo at all and having a couple guns that deal high per-shot damage and use a common ammo type

im trying to play it less like skyrim or fallout where you sit on giant piles of gold like smaug just in case you need it and spending all my money on things like ammo, mats, a sweet gun i found, some spaceship parts etc. my bank account frequently runs dry in this game because theres actually poo poo to spend money on. mostly in those games the only reason to stockpile large amounts of gold/caps is for player housing but theres just so much poo poo to buy here

Bubble gun, starting sword, a couple of basic missile launchers. Was using the initial loadout parts aside from reverse legs and the 2nd gen booster/generator.

I could have maybe restarted the level to change my gear more but then I'd have to refight the miniboss and I didn't want to lol. Sunk cost fallacy

That's pretty impressive then! I think the most common build for beating him is a heavier AC with double bubble guns and some sort of very high DPS weapons on the shoulders (in my case two of the giant laser cannons).

It helps that your main weapons were good for taking down his shield, but the lower DPS from just having basic missile launchers probably made it a lot tougher (with big heavy weapons you can take him down in phase 2 after knocking out his shield just once, before it comes back up).
