Pilot level mght not be high enough but yes I had this even with Rank 4. I have had ghost ships inside my own ship despite changing and selling ships, only NG wiped it off and my companion dying during the main story. There's loads of bugged quests, in Skyrim and Oblivion if the quest bugged you could delete it or reset it, you can't currently in Starfield. Also they put too many missions in one place e.g main story for Crimson Fleet, you then go see the woman for Strikers, if you don't go upstairs, the door is locked, there is also a problem with Kumiho's slate not appearing during the Ryujin quests, and many more bugged quests.

It's the exploration that is the major issue for me. Running into the exact same buildings and outposts with the same layouts down to the clutter is immersion breaking. I'm still enjoying the game a lot, I just hope they fix the procedural generation. I don't why they thought it would be a good idea to be like this. Loading screens get old after a while too, but at this point there's probably nothing that can be done about that.

Exploration worked in their previous titles because it was all on one map. Going from point A to point B will make you pass by a bunch of map markers you may stumble on and choose to explore or not. It doesn't work for Starfield because the maps are self contained and procedural. You land and will have no POI between you and your chosen POI destination. There is no actual exploration. 1000 planets and moons that are as deep as a sheen of water. The game would have been better with 5 hand designed planets.

Mechs literally exist in the game. That's what we should get in like a DLC or something. Todd Howard's claims that vehicles would ruin the atmosphere is a lie. What vehicles would do is make afflictions and planetary conditions completely pointless, but I say add mechs you simply strap into. That you would still require a suit, but the mech gives you a mechanical advantage.

I think a few other things I would want in Starfield would be some kind of Radiant AI again. Oblivion was incredible, with some characters visiting their friends in other towns, or doing religious pilgrimages on certain weeks. But it seems as we get further from Oblivion the more boring the AI becomes. Stores being open 24/7 (or... whatever the time is on the planet) really bothers me, like a lot more than I thought. I don't care if you have other shop keepers there at night or it's straight up closed, just... something. So much the game is built around immersion... except that.

I think the lack of AI might be due to the increase in NPC count and also the fact that every planet is on its own time, while I'm sure the game uses universal time for its basis on everything. So it could be 23:00 universal, but 14:00 Akila. If BGS could not separate Universal from AI schedules, that would mean walking into Akila mid day would be met with a bunch of sleeping people. It might have also just been annoying for playtesters to constantly have to wait when they leave Volii in the morning and arrive in New Atlantis at night.

Heh you are a Cut(-er) above the rest ^^

A few simple fixes I can think of: Adding a mission board to Red Mile, Neon Ebbside, and The Well, offering the same kind of theft and smuggling missions as you find at Kryx. Once you complete the Ranger or Vanguard questline, have the option to turn over contraband for a reward. And for your idea on Spacesuit and Weapon modification skills allowing us to upgrade, use the rank in them to gatekeep how far we can upgrade something. So, to get Legendary, you need to be rank 4. Or even require it plus that Special Research skill that I can't really figure out a use for.

For me: 1) UI. Maps for cities, as well as the ability to select points of interest and then be guided to them. And then just clean up and polish the UI in general. Many of its shortcomings are obvious (digipicks in the trash loot "misc" category, for example), and should not have made it to live. I also cannot flag things as "don't sell", so I could sell a category, but not sell off something I want to keep for whatever reason. There's also an overall lack of info to be found. What does having a crew member with shield skill do for you? Sure, that shield rank 3 guy gives you a bit of a green bar at the bottom of your shield, but, well, what exactly does that mean? And what does a rank 1 shield do, which doesn't have that green bar? So much stuff isn't explained, either through a well designed UI or through an in-game system like a computer aboard your ship. And lastly, let me register a ship without needing to make it my home ship first. Not like I cannot fast travel back to my ship and change that back when on planet, nor quickly dock with my regular ship while in space. So don't make me jump through pointless and stupid hurdles. 2) Fix the ammo to enemy hp ratio. Barring some sniper rifles, most stock weapon usage consists of emptying magazine after magazine into enemies. It just makes the gun play feel like it lacks impact. They need to go play some Warframe, and see how that game has weak weapons, but they feel so much better. And as well as how that game has weapons that feel more different from each other. Heck, they could stand to go back and play some OG Doom, because a stock shotgun feels so much worse than the shotgun from freakin' Doom. Oh, and this also applies to melee weapons. With how slow melee weapons swing, how close you have to be, and the stagger factor when enemies melee you, melee weapons need their base damage massively cranked up. It should not be reliant upon bonuses from things like stealth. And when combined with stealth, well, again, they need to check out how stealth openers with melee weapons work in Warframe. The impact of a cool animation when doing that big stealth attack feels so, so much better than doing the same old swing but with higher damage. 3) The vendor cash amount needs to change. It is immersion breaking that a vendor that's there to deal with incoming cargo ships cannot even afford to buy a single gun. It is stupid that a gun vendor can't afford to pay for a single gun. It is stupid that the people who deal in black market goods cannot afford to pay for said goods. Especially in a world with digital currency, where amounts are loaded onto credsticks. And, from the game play side, gee, you can just sit and restock the vendor. If players want the money, they'll get the money, so quit annoying us. 4) Looks: Better cosmetics, and cosmetics broken down into more slots. Most of them are kinda meh. I want the ability to mix and match pants and shirts. Oh, and boots and gloves. Sure, some things can cover both slots, but give me freedom. And then let my dye that crap. And, of course, there's the character themselves. First, fix the character model so that the legs (at least on the female) aren't stumpy. Not playing a fantasy dwarf here, Bethesda. Then, add a random button in character creation. Ideally with the ability to lock certain aspects when we're happy, and then continue to randomize others. This is stuff done in many a game, an obvious design feature, yet somehow lacking in a game with an 8 year development cycle. Also, not looks related, but most of the character creation traits are kind of meh. They could be more interesting. 5) Choices that actually matter in quests, and yeah, companions that differ in outlook. As far as the texture thing goes, they do have that with one situation. The underground labs have the same layout, but there's the cryo-frozen one and the regular one. For points of interest being closer together: This would require more points of interest per map, else you'd wind up with a cluster around the center, and nothing everywhere else. Or then you'd need more, to fill up the now empty space, which would leave you with PoIs that are far away again. You could make the map sections smaller, of course, but then people are more likely to find the edges of those maps. But honestly, who even bothers to go check the points out after a bit anyway? It's just the same points of interest, the same labs, abandoned facilities, and so on, stocked with the same pirates. There is no discovery/exploration. I'd say, if anything, there actually should be fewer points of interest on many of the maps, they should require you to be closer before you even know they are there, and they should be much more rewarding when you do find them. You should want that secret pirate base and get good loot from it, rather than grinding a known, set location base and then going to Venus to let some time pass, before clearing that base again. You should feel like you're exploring something new, not visiting a place that apparently had 6 billion bases established during the Colony War and subsequently abandoned. And yeah, agree on better/more variation for companions, and quests.

Give me something slightly faster a bit more gameplay (faster than sprint rover with a sensor module or cargo space) would be a decent fix I think.

But their resource management is unnecessary, putting crew there is unnecessary.

-Survival mode -Animation skipping -Better inventory management -DLSS -Better resource tracking And yes I am fully aware most can be fixed with mods.

Regarding unkillable NPCs: It's also immersion breaking that characters like Benjamin Bayu confront your character in a private location, while knowing your character is a bad ass killer, yet he takes no precautions at all. He should know there is a high chance the player character, known for solving problems by killing people, might turn violent when confronted, yet he does nothing for self preservation. He is not the only one either. A lot of important NPCs get mad at the player when they have no backup should the PC turn violent as a response. It's like they know they are unkillable, which doesn't make sense from an immersive perspective. Then they just look dumb.

Crazy that they didn't make a miniature "settlement" thing for your ship, so you can decorate it. After finding out it all gets reset, I never did it again. Borderlands 3 has more and better "decoration" options, and it's just 4 things you can hang along with some weapon racks.

CREW MANAGEMENT! That would be great to add. Give the (already present) workstations in habs a function, and be able to assign specific crew members to them to enhance values of your ship, depending on their skill level. Piloting in the Cockpit. Weapon/Shield stations in the control hab. Engineering/Repair stations in engineeringhab. Science for scanning, sciencehab. Medical for healing in medicalhab. Cargoboost and smuggling% in cargohab, and so forth. So now your crew is actually on station while in flight, and ship buffs only work if you actually assign crew.

What if, after starting NG+, you got to keep templates, and you could go find something like a Base Salvage Capsule, that has all the materials from your previous "life", so you don't need to do the grind, and you can even drop your old base onto a different planet.

Even if selling stolen ships was extremely profitable, after joining the Vanguard and Constellation you get a decent chunk of starting cash and simply selling all the guns I come across in the first couple of hours provides me with more money than I possibly need. Credits have never been an issue.

we need a lot more companion options, also i hate how a companion is called a specialist and only having 1 star in their skills i'm like how are you a specialist you're a novice man. i'd like to see a quad bike for travel since you are still limiting yourself in your immediate area from your ship landing as you might see stuff further out on the horizion but why visit as it becomes more and more foot travel. They need to make master locks more worth while unlocking as atm you can unlock it and come out with a single grenade :| Be able to paint your space suit Be able to build your own weapons and space suits

Thanks for talking about unarmed again, I really want it to be viable too...instead of doubling the damage, I think we need it tied to gear or level in some way like other weapons. Armor value for example, take a quarter of your ballistic resist from the suit, and of then have your fists get modified further by skill? In an ideal world we just get fist weapons, and it's mind boggling that FIsts got so many skills, but zero equipment to help with it. As for lack of info, just like Fallout 4's AP, we actually have no readout on how much oxygen we have. None! We have multiple skills and traits that increase our oxygen amounts, but no actual feeedback on even how much we have to start with. To add on, magazine bonuses are also not shown anywhere besides the magazine description. So if you sell them, you lose that info, but keep the bonus. Finally my uniques complainta. They need some consistency badly. Some have names and just lots of mods, some have unique skins with no bonus effects, some have rarities with 1-2 bonus effects, some are just named. Freakin pick one! It would be nice to have Daedric Artifact level uniques again, but the procedural systems are making the handcrafted stuff markedly less special.

Mechs and a Mech Bay for your ship that you can hire mechanic for so you can customize it. It can be somewhat similar to power armor in FO4, but larger and more mobile.

I don't know if that stuff's based on RNG or what but I have run into the same outpost three times that I can remember. I have almost 8 full days of playtime.

Love this approach. I'm really hoping to see more content in the outpost building and you know a narrative reason why you want to do it like there's not a strategic or narrative or convenience or any kind of reason to build outposts yet

They could calculate a Habitability Index (I've already formulated one) that determines how many orbital POIs would be on a planet; then dramatically reduce the number of POIs on random landing site maps, and increase the number and proximity on orbital marked site maps as though people settled the area for a reason. Location variants could also vary by occupant type, enemy-occupied, run down and occupied by hostile fauna, or normal operating civilian-occupied versions of locations that were previously only abandoned.

I agree with all the fixes you propose, but they are very PC Master Race focused, yeah, everyone who plays the game will benefit from them, but if you play on Xbox (my experience with Xbox Series S) you know the unstable mess this game can be at times, I've had the game crash while saving, quick saving or auto saving, rendering the mechanic completely useless because I just lost progress for no apparent reason, I also have had the game crash after jumping between systems, I'm playing as a bounty hunter/ship stealer, so I jump a lot between systems and every now and then the game crashes either when landing on a planet or arriving to the system, I had to enable auto saving bc of how often I was losing progress due to this crashes, turns out the game crashes while saving too, go figure, and like that, there are many instances where the game crashes, when entering a chest, entering the ship building screen, fast traveling from a to b in a planet. I get that the Xbox Series S is the red headed ugly kid of the family, it has very little memory and some other short comings, but being an Xbox "exclusive" I would guess good optimization should be a given, It surprised me how unstable and poorly optimized the game was at launch, yes it has improved but still, the game just crashed too damn much, maybe on a big ass badass gaming pc with 32gb of ram the game runs perfect with no game crashing bugs, but I can't afford that, not now not in the near future, so my S will have to do, and it has had been enough, but this game is just not finished, stability should be a priority right now, gameplay means nothing when the game dies every three jumps or when I want to store the loot I said I was gonna sell but never did, I don't mind the 30fps, I really don't, I get that 30 is the best they can do on console, but come on.

I was very interested when I found a companion with the medical skill. "OH what's this mean? Will they sell me supplies? Will they heal me in combat?" Nope, nothing it meant nothing.

@@Mephilis78Nate got starfield early.

Very nice, constructive and well articulated video of improvement opportunities for Starfield. I've been playing non-stop since early release and have 788 hours into the game and counting, with 2 separate characters and only 1 ng+ playthrough. I love the main and faction quests and shipbuilding in particular. So it's fair to say I've been enjoying the heck out of it but you hit on many of my pain points and I'd like to add/reinforce them here. 1. I play on Xbox Series X and the game freezes and crashes for no apparent reason several times each hour. It takes an agonizing 26+ seconds to reload from a quicksave and much longer to restart completely. That needs to change. 2. I'd love to play as a stealth character but stealth is so easily broken that it's too frustrating to try and play that way in Starfield, much to my disappointment. Also, skills like Concealment have gun bonus stealth damage, but leveling it requires melee stealth kills, and a lot of them. Since it is not even internally consistent between the benefit it provides and what you need to do to level it, I'd like to see that changed. 3. I'd like vendors to have a more credits to spend. Same was true for Skyrim and one of the key enablers for me to continue playing it was a mod that gave vendors many more credits. I'd like to see that baked into Starfield. 4. Lockpicking. It really slows down and breaks the pace of the game for me. If I could start another playthrough with lockpicking removed, I would. But short of that I'd like the lockpicking skill to perhaps auto-solve one level until the final one auto solves each one for instant lock by-pass. As it is now, it simply allows the player access to higher tier locks and only minimally makes it easier to solve as you level up. 5. Landing too far from a point-of-interest is a bit of a pain-point, but once you land you can go back into your map, zoom out to planet and then back into the local map, and fast travel to the POI cutting down your travel time on foot to near zero. But the real issue for me as there's not enough interesting things to do while traveling on foot to make the time feel worthwhile, which brings me to .... 6. I disagree with your point about interesting fauna in the game, I've been all over am really disappointed by the lack of really interesting, abundant, alien life (even if it's non sentient life). I just want a heck of a lot more cool and interesting biomes to explore that really feel alive, with fully thought out food-chains and the like, and not be stuck with .... oversized crickets. 7. Also about exploration, I'd love to have more of a feeling of being the very first to set foot on an alien world. But mostly, there are already abandoned everything on just about every planet and moon. It really cuts down on the "specialness" of discovering something new and I'd love for more really interesting locations to explore as the first one there. 8. I think Bethesda seriously over estimated the fun factor in scanning. There's not enough economic reason to do it and, if you don't care about outpost farming fauna/flora, then there's very little good reason to do it. Opportunity cost to level up those skills to make it easier it not a good trade-off IMHO. So I was much happier once I figured that out and stopped trying to scan everything. If scanning were simply removed from the game completely, I'd be happier. 9. Cities were a bit of a disappointment in that there are so many NPCs who are empty shells. Characters in Skyrim where so much more memorable - they felt like they had their own unique stories, family relationships, and relationships to the town, often with their own quests. I get that the scale is different in Starfield, but I'd really love for there to be more of a community feel with more interesting NPCs instead of the 99% empty shell population. 10. More romance options. I don't feel like romancing males, a matronly Sara, or the zero-chemistry Andreja, who scolds me more than anything else. In Skyrim there were dozens of marriageable characters. Romantic options don't all have to be Constellation members, do they? Thank you for your excellent video, I really enjoyed watching it. Keep up the good work! Cheers :)

amazing video, detailed and great critiques

Plenty of great ideas in this video, alot of stuff I had also been thinking about 🤙

Skills: additional perks if you have a specific combination of skills leveled up. You visit a specific dojo at a floor in ryujin tower, and the master will have dialog with skill check, if you have stealth + dueling + concealment skills all leveled up, you will gain an additional perk "Certified Ronin" that boost melee. this adds some role-playing as well. they can also add this for any playstyle, e.g. enter as a professor in a university in new atlantis that adds perk to have permanent +5% exp, only available if you have research methods + astrodynamics + special projects leveled up.

Gee, I can't disagree with any of these suggestions. I think you're onto something when it comes to random locations (abandoned, deserted, etc.), that there needs to be more of them and existing ones should have more randomization within them, instead of the exact same furniture, containers, NPC placement, etc. Like the Abandoned Hangar - the boss enemy is always on the interior landing pad, with the boss chest always in the same place on the landing pad. Change it up!

It’d also be cool if the price of bounty missions gradually increased with your level. Or at least give the option to take higher bounties with enemies that are substantially more difficult to kill. 2000 credits is essentially worthless in the late game and I don’t see any incentive in doing them if I’m RPing as a bounty hunter

I feel kinda bad for Fallout/Elder Scrolls youtubers. So many years without a game, then finally Starfield is here and it's stripped-down, with a reliance on procedural generation. These lore-tubers need lore and setpieces! Maybe they should play more indie games while they're waiting. :P

Number one fix for me would actually be a revision of the cargo link system. At the moment it is so badly thought out that, now I've just started NG+, I'm not sure if I can be bothered to build an outpost. The idea that, in an interstellar economy, cargo haulers can only go between two planets or systems and you can't link outposts so that resources are shared like you could in Fallout 4 is so immersion breaking that I'd rather ignore it and buy or mine resources as I need them.

I put 120 hours into the game over 2 months, liked it a lot, I've stopped playing for now but I don't consider that a bad thing. I remember November 2011, 100 hours into Skyrim that first month and then I stopped. Fallout 3/4 similar. My point is that the full value of the past BGS games showed itself over the years when I kept returning to them. Just watching this video made me hyped to play Starfield again already.

I do agree with many of these fixes thanks you for your time sir

Totally agree with the suggestions, hopefully BGS will implement them!

Fixing the quest bugs would be nice

The main problem with stealth indoors is that you basically have to take off your spacesuit for it to be affective, before you get the concealment skills, but even then it feels very underwhelming I get that wearing a space suit would make you less stealthy but when they add options to hide helmet and suit in breathable areas / settlements, why couldn't they add a mechanic that when your suit isn't visable you get the same benefits as having it unequipped, it's just tedious having to manually take it off all the time in the early stages of stealth.

I find the problem with modern games is the people making request to developers that don’t know what they want. You have half the community just screeching about what bugs they want fixed first and fastest where is the other half of the community are actually fans of the game and are actually trying to give overall improvements knowing that the developers are going to be fixing the smaller bugs and little details in the coming months anyway I feel like a lot of people are just impatient nowadays, so they begg the developers to fix bugs as fast as they can, which takes them away from actually improving the game. Consistency is key. The same people claiming this game is shit gave cyberpunk two years to improve and now they’re saying it’s one of the best games ever

one thing I want with ship command is maybe when you reach rank 4 you can have as many crew as your ship can hold. I current have a ship that can hold 13 crew but I'm limit to only 8.

Honestly the thing i would want the most is something like a mother ship type craft. Make it crazy expensive and non atmospheric but it is conected to your settlements and housing your other ships build an armalary get vendors (crappy ones for stuff like ammo/meds).

There's an easier way to fix unarmed.. just add unarmed weapons. Imagine something simple like brass knuckles that you can enhance with laser damage, stacking the bonuses.

Number one issue for me is the godamn questlines. Outside of the vanguard and sysdef, there is zero substance to them. The rangers are particularly guilty of feeling like an introductory quest stretched out into an entire faction quest line that doesnt go anywhere exciting. They have you deal with a single criminal gang, and the quest ends as soon as you are a full member of the faction. To say it in another way, if the college of winterhold existed in starfield, the sarthaal expedition would be stretched out to be the entire questline.

I am 100% on board with stealing and selling ships to get a re-vamp. I was doing that for a few hours last week and my biggest complaint wasn't that the most I made off a single ship was like 10k, but that regardless of contraband being on the ship or not, it would ALWAYS flag as having contraband. And I was extremely diligent in checking the ship and all enemies for the stuff. It added so much extra time to go to the Den and blah blah blah, then go to an actual city to sell the ship for maybe 4k credits. All that work when I could just take a Ranger job and go kill a pirate or spacer for 3k in a fraction of the time. And with NPC's why are they all carrying bags? Like, did humans forget how to make backpacks?

18:07 I think this route would be totally fine. I kind of assume that a lot of the architecture in the galaxy for planetary outposts would be manufactured by the same companies, as to explain visual similarity. However, I would like it if there were variants so it wasn't like, "Oh, here's the same tower copy and pasted for the third time." If there was maybe an Ecliptic variant, a pirate variant, a Va'ruun variant, a Freestar variant, and a UC variant with rusted versions of each and some minor differences in things like furniture, that'd feel fine enough to me.

They need to fix the game before worrying about anything else. I’ve got so many broken quests, game breaking bugs, and lack of unique armor/weapons need to be prioritized. I’m level 94 and haven’t touched it for a couple weeks as it’s just not working. Enemy ships land but don’t open bay doors so can’t be boarded and enemy ships in space that I board are empty. FIX THE GAME!

I definitely agree on the POIs. I have over 100 hours in and am getting close to hitting the new game plus. I've given up on exploration because I've come across the same abandoned mining post at least 10 times. Very early on, I had some variety, but I've seen the same 2-3 structures every time I try to go to a POI since around level 20. An updated system that allows the game to mix up the modules a little with the same type of systems would be great too to add to the variety. Your discussion of the variety of creatures is interesting too. I keep getting the same two dinosaurs on almost every planet with life too. I completely stopped landing on and exploring planets because of this issue.

I think the biggest problem role-play wise is how there are no evil or even morally grey companions. The outer worlds also had this problem where it felt awkward and unrewarding for choosing the (very few) cruel, selfish and destructive options. In my opinion, Fallout 3 absolutely EXCELLED in this area, more so than even New Vegas. There are companions and factions that will only interact with you if you have a low karma level and there are plenty of hilariously evil options in quests, letting me feel like I can ACTUALLY be who I want to be in an open-world rpg.

I doubt they are going to do much work. Since they refuse to admit people's complaints are valid. And now modders are moving on to other titles Bethesda needs to do actual work

Agreed 100%

Now that's educated and constructive critique. I love it! This video is packed to the brim with excellent improvement ideas. Excellent! I genuinely hope Bethesda sees this. Such a breath of fresh air. Not that typical KZread/Twitch streamer whine: 'This game is completely [ugly/broken/nothing like xy/shallow/boring]' after a few hours running around only searching for: something to shoot / cutscenes with swearing, explosions or boobs / uber-cool badass equip to brag with in front of their young male viewers that are always just split seconds away from clicking another TikTok video.

Agreed! And that the ideas are radical game changing changes, but pretty simple and even with a few different ideas on how to impliment them. Just well rounded, very well thoughtout ideas by passionate and understanding fans.

You know what they need to do? Just give all the assets and engine to a different studio and REMAKE the whole damn game, ala Obsidian in to New Vegas style. My wildcard suggestion would be Blizzard. Yeah those money grabbing bores. Why? STARCRAFT RPG! It's THE best setting for what the engine limitations and existing game assets can provide. Again, why? Larger enemy variety, universe lore and setting, with things like large variety of game factions, and yes I'm seeing you can only play as human(Terran). Ok, I'm rambling a bit. The reasoning for it so large its flying over everyone's head. Imagine, you're living in the Koprulu sector after the 2500ac's that's basically the size of star systems similar to StarFields, the time is just a few years maybe a decade or so after the end of StarCraft 2's campaign, the zerg who are a hive mind space bugs with mass variety of shapes and forms and can even infest humans, they have retreated back to their space but loads of renegade and disconnected groups infecting many abandoned colonies, space stations, drifting space platforms and space ships. So you'll have to fight and clear them again and again. After the many wars in the sector from the before mentioned zerg, to civil wars and rebellions within ands among the colonies, all of that would leave plenty of empty places to explore and discover, finding secrets and lost technologies. From Space marine Power armours such as we've had in Fallout4, so upgrading and tweaking it could be as expanded as it was IN FO4. Next the human factions would have the new teran Empire struggling to survive and stabilise, those who seek to destroy or reshape it, again pirates, spacers, mercenaries, fringe colonies seeking self determination, and the remnants of the United Earth Directorate fleet that arrived few decades prior and settles at the edge of the empire. And now you would even have the alien super advanced Protos with almost mystical technologies that could try and acquire and even fight as a type of boss enemies. And yes you could even be a psycher with mind powers similar to the Jedi from Star Wars, giving you that "StarBorne" powers without actually implementing them.

Making points of interest closer together I think would move the game further from the "final frontier" vibe of space than it already is. Todd said you'd have moments of isolation and solitude on some planets, but Ive yet to experience this. Everywhere you land on any planet there are 3-5 facilities in the general area which when you scale it up to the galaxy then abandoned buildings would outnumber occupied buildings by like 201 and the eccliptic and spacers would probably outnumber the population of all the cities combined.

“I didn’t run into a repeat location even once until I was well over the 100 hour mark” That isn’t true

Mods and console commands disabling achievements needs to be fixed! Seriously mods and cc shouldn't disable achievements in the first place.

You're totally right, but of course there is a mod to fix that problem lol 🤣

My current biggest issue is that the NPCs don't feel fleshed out for a decade long game. And in some places they don't feel fleshed out at all. The companions you have to pick up yourself should be an experience in themselves and a lot of them have the start of really interesting characters there's like not enough to talk to them about. You have enough to know what their deal is but not who they are. And none of them have any sort of pathing for in the ship they wander around and do absolutely nothing they don't talk to each or talk to you about how they're feeling or the state of the ship and these are things that would add life to your spaceship interior making exploring the isolated that we are given as planets a place to find comfort and that's how I think the ship should feel in the game I should have reasons to want to be in the ships interior other than the design of it.

Many places that were not hand crafted are very hard to navigate. They are very disjointed and i find my self getting lost because you keep seeing the same room. Interior map with fog of war would help with way finding.

So much yes on the doctor hiring item, I was VERY disappointed to hire Rosie only to find out she didn't act at all like any other in game doctors.

I don't have hate for this. But it's no elder scrolls. Same feeling toward fallout. I try and play it but just wind up wishing I were playing ES Just not a fan of either setting. The factions are barely interesting and the setting seems too dry or something. Idk what it is but I really don't care about any of Bethesdas other ip's. This game is just time and resources that could've gone toward ES6.

The main reason I would say a ground vehicle is needed is because it takes forever to get from 1 point of interest to a another, Especially if you are unlucky and get killed by one of the local alien creatures.

1-Story DLC 2-PvP spaceships 2-lesser load screens 4-More companions like pets and robots

On unkillable npcs....some should be that aren't. I did a play through where an Ashta got into Akila and killed the shopkeeper at Sheperds. After that, you couldn't buy anything at the store...and I had to step over his body everytime because it never went away! 😅

My number 1 grief with this game is the bug when kaiser freezes at the door and Hadrian not following during the quest hostile intelligence

@WarlordRaven

When that bug happened to me, the only way to get Kaiser unstuck was to backtrack to outside the gate, and attacking a robot cat. Once you get it to aggro, slowly return to Kaiser. You have to make sure you are being followed by robots or soldiers, and Kaiser will attack them. As soon as he moves away from the door to attack the soldiers, holster your gun to de-aggro everyone. After that, Kaiser opens the door, and the mission can be finished as normal.

Things needed: About twice as many faction quests. Some minor factions. A reason to have bases other than resources, since buying resources pretty much invalidates the need for a base. Some companions that aren't carboard cut outs. So... a whole new set of companions. Oh and cut out all those god damned cut scenes, just let me scan the system without having to sit through the cut scene each time you go to the next planet.

Scanning has a skill that makes it possible to scan any planet in any system within 16 LY from anywhere at rank 4, no need to travel there. First rank makes it possible to scan all moons connected to your current planet without moving (or scan the planet and any moon if you are at one of the moons)

Consistency in landing location in relation to the destination would be nice. For example landing at the science facility in the beginning of Entangled. Most of the time I land on their landing pad. But sometimes I end up a few hundred meters from the base of the cliff. 😅

That actually has to do with the size of your ship. Your ship was too big to land on the pad the second time.

@@lulztr0n you might be correct if I had a big ship. But I tend to like them small. A speed boat as opposed to a yacht in ship terms. 😃

I would love to see some sort of commodity broker, for either materials or manufactured components. I've watches a few videos showing complex feed systems to farm XP from crafting, but there's no practical outlet for the things crafted - they just get dropped on the ground - which is totally immersion breaking for me. Why not have a broker market where things can be sold in bulk (even automated exports) at a lower unit cost. You then have an in-game reason for base building other than XP farming (which is an out-game reason, if that makes any sense). Currently, it's like building a component factory IRL, only to go to the local corner shop to sell the outputs.
