Maybe bouncing buggy?

Stick with it! Don't let them make you grow a conscience.

Sounds like the Reddit post (based on a claimed discussion with the 4chan poster). Most of that made sense, but there were elements that seemed unusual. Time will tell.

It is a very fun game and I got a lot hours out of it. It has it's own issues, but Hello Games does a much better job of hiding their loading screens and transitions. Parts of it are arcade-like. I might do a comparison, but the top level I'd call NMS "space survival" and SF "space RPG."

Rumor mentions vertical thrusters. I think we're going to need a low-G form of bounce/flight with controls, but we'll see what they do soon. :/

@@kineer Thinking maybe vehicles that riff off of the boost pack mechanic?

Fantastic. Definitely trying that.

I keep thinking an effective 'buggy' is doing to need flight controls. Somewhere in that process, hover bikes start to fit well.

Thanks for clearing that up! I fired FNV up recently on an old Xbox 360 as part of an inventory, played for maybe an hour and then wandered off (look, something shiny over there!). I ended up spending sooo many hours throwing old 360 discs into my current Xbox that I lost track. On the demographic front, good to know. You may be surprised to know we fit right in for Starfield (and many games). My RUclips creator portal is full of interesting info like that. I suspect this is because many of us have been gaming for a long time. ;) I might do some videos on behind-the-scenes channel analysis at some point. I'm behind on that and a Discord server. In any case, nice to hear from you again and thanks for watching!

(also) I have been looking at chat management plug-ins. Didn't have time to work that out before going live Sunday. If I could ditch the day-job, I'd be a more advanced streamer. Playing the 'progress' game for now. :)

Unless Bethesda nerfs them. Either to get us to buy better vehicles, or to justify the choice they made to exclude them at launch. We'll see.

Hadn't thought about that much until your comment. Jet packs seem hard to escape historically and with new popular IP like the Mandalorian. I also have flashbacks from the SRV in Elite, bouncing along the surface of random moons, lofting up into the air, trying not to kill myself. Somewhere in the middle will be good. :) Cool video I looked up when you commented. I hadn't thought about the history. ruclips.net/video/m3sGmd87ysA/видео.htmlsi=FoZeqFKcFC2kplqJ&t=156

@kineer no hate for jet packs here, esp after checking out the video. I just have a theory that boost packs were not so central to Starfield traversal until it became apparent that ground vehicles would not be ready for the game's launch. I suspect they were intended to be akin to power-armor in Fallout 4 in the sense that anyone can use them (with point investment), they enhance quality of life, but are not necessary. See also the Cround Crew pack, which offers damage protection but no option for a boost feature. Wouldn't be surprised if originally only specific packs like the Shocktroop could support boosts, while other ones like the Space Trucker pack could not.

Starfield vehicles have to improve or solve something in the actual game mechanics and it has to be useful across enough of the game that it won't just generate another 100 days of anti-Starfield complaints. Travel or movement is one thing, but storage, environmental protection, or other areas would be great to layer. In a real world where autonomous driving is a reality, maybe they could be summoned and sent to the ship. So many options. This is where I remind myself to lower expectations. :)

Both great games, especially for those of us that love SciFi and space themes. I have to believe the Bethesda team looked at a lot of games for vehicle ideas so I'm optimistic. The suspense is building though. It's almost August and we're do for an update! :)

Excellent point and ideas. We really should get at least one mission related to the vehicle. That could be at a unique POI or vendor. We already have one race in the game with the Narcissus ship so there's some precedent. That would strongly imply an upgrade path for vehicles as well. It's at this point I have to temper my expectations (again). :)

Yeah, I didn't mention it, but all 'travel issues' could be resolved by evolving the jet pack a bit and/or putting a ship 'summon to location' in the base game. Vehicles have become fan driven at this point though.

Definitely had different POIs for every character I built with. After wrapping up this build (and mentioning how I never got attacked), 6 Spacers came over the ridge and we had a nice skirmish. Should have checked the local map!

@@kineer I like the fact they changed that tho (if they did) it makes it a little more filling to get attacked randomly at your out post

I mean I've built the armillary at my outposts multiple times and never got attacked by Starborn there like they said it would happen lol

Exactly. My first few plays I would dutifully prepare base defenses, think carefully about channeling enemies using storage rows and [yawn] nothing. :)

It'll be good againt bugs, but you'll be bugged by it a little bit.

A Sparrow, yes!

@@kineer or at least get the bike type of thing after you NG+ as like Starborn perk like the ship but actually usable lol

Particularly the Dream breytech 9 u know the one that leaves a rainbow trail and reloads your guns as u ride but in the starfield constellation or crimson fleet aesthetic

Sup

Would be great to fight Ecliptic, Spacers, CF with their own vehicles as long as they explode. ;)

@kineer hey modder here. I don't think they could program that, but I think they could program static ones to shoot, hopefully explode. Keep in mind, the author of the destructive environments mod for starfield said it works on the same principle as asteroids. The asteroid is a static object. A mix of meshes and textures with an ID attached to it, and that ID has a set of instructions that can tell it to delete itself when it is interacted with another ID, in this case the hit scan of a ballistic or energy blast object, which has its own set of instructions. When the asteroid tells itself it is being interacted with by being hit, it isn't disassembled, it deletes itself and is replaced with a pre-programmed animation. When u shoot an asteroid, it doesn't explode, it is deleted and at the very moment, it is replaced with an animation of rocks going every which way. This whole process cannot be done with a non-static object. A vehicle that can be driven isn't an object, it is an actor, where it behaves a certain way based on programmed instructions. Actors cannot give instructions they can only be programmed to follow direction. Hope u could understand some of that.

@kineer it WOULD be possible that prices could fall off like power armor.or in fallout 4, though that seems a little too much work for double eleven rn..

That's a great. Assuming I'm following, it wouldn't be usual or different to shoot individual Spacers, but their vehicles would be an entirely different (and new) set of challenges. Keeping in mind the economics of building anything like this (benefit to Bethesda, modders, etc.), this might fall outside what would make sense to even pursue. "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should." ;) Thanks for sharing the explanation!

ngl, excited to finally find out.

I would like to see Mechs as well tho I doubt Bethesda will release them as they are illegal due to the armistice agreement

On one hand that feels like it's out of reach, but on the other hand Bethesda's experience with Fallout Power Armor means mechs are not a huge leap.

Lol, It'sagundam would play then!

​@@kineer I have no faith in Bethesda. It's kind like a roll of dice for everyone. Even Bethesda doesn't know if something is going to be good , but they will try.

This seems like a very reasonable ask.

You don't realize it yet but your asking for a destiny 2 sparrow particularly the Dream breytech 9 u know the one that leaves a rainbow trail and reloads your guns as u ride it or a star wars hover bike maybe in the starfield constellation aesthetic or crimson fleet aesthetic

Star Citizen's Nox would be perfect as a Starborn's bike. It has both white and black version

If we're gonna dream .. I'll put my order in for the CF version. :)

Yes! I'm working on a few things including the Discord server. It's up and almost ready, but I need to add a bot I found.

I like his story/dialog too. Since I often play sniper, he feels like a great spotter, hunting buddy.

Feel like healing it meaningful now with the survival options. Very nice to see.

Great ideas! I am clearly falling down on my grenade work, but was reminded in chat. Then I went to far and ran out. Thanks for checking it out.

I'm working that out. So at least weekly, but I'd really like to advance this particular Starfield playthough faster than that would allow. I might do something during the week as well or two days on weekends. I'll be communicating plans on the channel using Community Posts soon. Hey also thanks (!) for being on the stream, helping others out with questions and chatting. It's appreciated and fun.

I think it was easy to overlook that before the environmental damage became real (with gameplay options settings). I would just build until done while outside. Now I find myself with environmental afflictions, fast traveling back to my ship to reset/restore, so building the hab first became a priority. Well that and the one time I tried to sleep outside and died from it. Ah, fun times. :) Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm spending a little more time looking at what/how others do this. There's some 'workflow' planning I need to do so I get good game-play for viewers and can convert it. Very much looking forward to adding this new content to the channel. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the feedback on the sound/video (and making me feel normal on game time). 1500 hours is perfectly normal for Starfield. It is! :) I just saw Fallout London and it looks great. Am still native OS on the Steam Deck. Hard to believe how many choices we have these days.

Sadly I only have 1100 hrs.

You fit right in with us in the 'moderate Starfield players club', @henrycarlson7514

@@kineer Thank You . Another fine Video

Thanks!

I also (clearly) need to better understand the scheduling and notifications around live streams. I was a little focused on just getting the technical side working and eventually just 'flipped the switch' on a short test video. Thanks for the encouragement!

It's a PC mod, StarUI, that I've not seen on the Creation Store yet. If you're on PC, grab it at Nexus. I've not found one for my Xbox (yet?), but also haven't looked lately.

Fresh Game! :) Well that's at least the term I've coined for it.

I've heard this and might have tried it (unsuccessfully once), but I eventually just stopped trying to collect ships. Still early, on if you can get the ship and Erick, it's a good deal!

@@kineer ...what? No. I mean "end" the mercs so Erick's boss still gets her ship back and opens her shop. Not sure where the wires are getting crossed in this conversation. Bah. Now I'll need to hunt down the original video just to make sure I'm not the one losing it.

@@kineer Found two videos on the subject. The trick is apparently to return to your ship, THEN go back to the hijacked vessel to "retire" the mercs without Erick there to witness it. Original post has been edited for clarity.

She might show up on Gagarin was well (at the bar), which is great since she's a decent companion even if you don't all all-on for Crimson Fleet.

@@kineer absolutely, it was Gagarin, my mistake

In a surprising contrast, Erick Von Price is a cold blooded killer that doesn't care who you shoot. I didn't expect that!

@kineer Boom Boom Betty Houser is like that too.

I was happy that you can choose that trait through NG+ now.

@kineer Yes, I like that you can change traits at NG+. Makes it easier to try different ones without having to start over every time.

The best companion is to have none! With the right skills, you get a 25% increase in any damage (hero & ship weapons)!

@@Astristul This that worth given up the two extra reactor power that you have to pull from shields or engines to max ship weapons?

@@charlesoutdoors2424 that's a completely different topic! I've said companions, not ship crew members! Of course you'll need the best ship crew members! The important thing is to have 0 campanions attached to you. Word of advice. If you have a companion linked, and you'll enter the ship, you won't get that 25% ship weapons damage bonus, so make sure you're alone when entering the ship!

Thanks! It's Nesoi in the Olympus system. Central location on the left side of the map. Also the same planet as the Dream home if you take that Trait.

@@kineer Thank you!

Thanks. - The blue bar represents the Starborn Power I like to call 'star mana'. It's used when you fire off a power and regenerates over time. - The only mods I have are StarUI (Inventory, Workbench, and Outpost / PC) - I've maxed out boostpack related skills, but no mod. Just a balanced pack. - No points in Incapacitation.
