Not sure if anyone knows how this works...I bought the regular edition through Newegg because they were doing a $10 off on preorders. I see that there is a way to upgrade to the Premium version for an extra charge, which I had thought about purchasing so that I could get the early access, but when I look at what is included in that it seems like the upgrade doesn't come with the early access. Maybe I'm wrong?

Is there a trick to finding the last of the unique biomes on a planet? On Procyon 3 there are supposed to be three of them and I have not been able to find a landing area that has the third one so I can finish the planetary survey.

When you�re picking a landing spot it tells you what biome will be where you land.

Sorry it�s not the biomes it�s the Planet Traits. I have only been able to find 2/3.

I just finished the Rangers questline and shooting Hope in the face feels really good. As a side note, it would be interesting if they had different questline endings if you used EM weapons on people who should die but I guess that'd be way too much work even for primary quests.

You get a really good ship from that quest too

Accidentally canceled modification

Woof

I was spending some time the other day making changes to the Kepler R, and I could not figure out for the life of me what parts were still not attached. Finally I found out that there is a way to see what parts are not attached by looking it up online, but the game never tells you this.

I would really like them to change how each skill counts towards completion. Like for example, it should constantly be giving you credit for starship kills towards piloting even when you are not at a certain level yet. That way you don't have to stop what you are doing later on to go blow up more ships to get the final levels of that skill.

I�m also wondering if (Crimson Fleet spoilers) there will be DLC where you have to deal with Naeva if you side with the UC at the end of the quest. I sided with them and wiped everyone out except for the leader who I convinced to stand down and get arrested.

It really doesn't take you that long to have an absolute shitload of money in this game, so dealing with contraband becomes less enticing.

So far at level 40 and I'm sitting on about 1.5m credits just from selling weapon/spacesuit loot and completing non-radial quests. Never had to bother with contraband, stealing ships, mission boards, exploring POI's, or using exploits/console commands to make money.

Already sunk as much money on my class C ship as I can, so I don't know what purpose of all this money they throw at you serves other than

It's kind of a problem because you can't just buy outpost parts. You have to have the materials. If the game would let you just buy them outright it would make having a lot of money more useful. As it is, most of your money is going to go to starship upgrades, and even then, those aren't that crazy expensive compared to how much cash you can build up quickly.

I managed to do something similar in the Operation Starseed quest, where every time I went back to the crucible, there was a 50/50 chance the entire base would start blasting at me

Yeah that one is a real pain

You basically need to go somewhere else for a few days or hide in the ship until they stop going nuts

It�s also the kind of thing where you have to leave your companion on the ship so they don�t blast people

I always thought Cora looked like a shrunken adult rather than a child.

I didn�t notice in the same way as I did in Cyberpunk 2077, where they didn�t at all hide the fact that the child models are just shrunken adult ones. They just look weird.

I think the idea is that there is still a Precursor race that built the temples, the Armillary, the Unity, etc. Definitely not a lot of details in the game right now, betting on them expanding on it in some form of DLC

It's a little ridiculous that they don't go into that at all

marktheando posted:

(main quest ending talk) In the unity you can ask yourself who created the artefacts and you respond by saying it was the creators and gives no actual information about them.

It's annoying because there are some cool ideas earlier in the plot, like the revelation that FTL travel only exists because an alternate version of the inventor gave the information to his previous self so that he could invent it, but at the cost of eventually making Earth uninhabitable

As it is, the story doesn't feel finished. At all.

I think the gameplay is fine, but the story is really underbaked for some reason. The faction questlines are much more interesting.

It would have been more interesting if the central mystery of the game was finding alien artifacts from actual aliens instead of alternate/future humans or whatever you want to call the Starborn.

The devs just overextended themselves with too many things. It should have been like 30 well developed star systems instead of like 10 that are, and another 80 that are just either devoid of much to do or have a lot of repeat settlements on them.

Is there a good way to grind to Level 100 without going NG+? I did basically everything in my first playthrough including loving around a lot in those abandoned outposts/places full of pirates/mercs/etc and I finished at Level 59.

I used this guide where you set up an outpost with animal buildings in a circle.

Then just shoot the generator of each building with a hornet's nest-modded coachman and repair to make the animals respawn. After set up it took me about an hour to get from level 55 to 100 with +17% XP boost (companion sleep + grandpa's meatloaf).

I can never understand how people figure this stuff out

So, I just tried out the new Starfield Beta update. The fps improvement was absurdly high. Getting 100+ fps on a 4070 at 1440p on more or less Ultra settings while running around in Neon Core. Where before it was barely giving 40 fps on Medim Settings.

This is quite the shock tbqh. I did not expect that, at all.

I'm uninstalling it again, because it breaks mods, but at least I know now what's coming.

Is this because of DLSS?

Imagine buying Arkane and BGS and then ending up with Redfall and Starfield.

Arkane being forced to make a game that is the exact opposite of their wheelhouse is a bigger failure than Starfield IMO

Starfield just clearly wasn�t finished. Maybe some day it will be better after they have put out more content, but Redfall was a huge disaster and it was also fully preventable.
