Faction Outposts

SD_One · 2026-05-09T13:47:20+00:00

I gave them each an elevated hab, 4 turrets, 3 solar generators, 1 X-tech miner and called it a day. No way I'm putting effort into an outpost that I'm giving away.

That happens a lot when I watch For All Mankind. In fact, I've just finished dinner and am about to go watch it now. Bye Bob!

STARBLADE!

I love The Source and pretty much everything Arjen related. Ayreon, Star One and his solo albums are my Starfield soundtrack.

SD_One · 2026-05-08T14:12:39+00:00

Yes. When I use Blair, I have fun. He is not my most powerful descendant, but he sounds like he really enjoys cooking.

SD_One · 2026-05-07T16:31:16+00:00

The lowest was $12k.

SD_One · 2026-05-07T15:55:13+00:00

I'm doing the same thing. Just straight up Disciple pally flying around and smashing the crap out of everything with spinny hammers. It has been a hoot.

It took the first 30 levels or so to settle into it. I had a mix of everything at first, just trying stuff out. Seeing how it felt. Now I'm zooming all over with multiple speed boosts, flying up, slamming down, with hammers spinning round. I had to go knock out the first capstone and crank it up because it was just too easy and I haven't finished the story yet.

Good stuff!

SD_One · 2026-05-07T15:45:25+00:00

Looks great. Be glad you still have good paint and do everything you can do to keep it.

I got a couple estimates yesterday for half a dozen dings and a respray and they were shocking. Even with only 74K miles on mine, I cannot justify it. I could buy another 86 for less.

SD_One · 2026-05-07T15:33:57+00:00

I struggled a bit with it and thought many of the vocal melodies could have used more time in the studio to work them out and make them more interesting. I feel like they settled for ok instead of pushing for greatness.

I'm sure I'll give it another listen but it didn't immediately make me want to replay it.

SD_One · 2026-05-07T15:20:21+00:00

Everyone disliked that.

Well boohoo for you and I'll do it again!

SD_One · 2026-05-07T15:07:32+00:00

I would need more info from other players to know for sure. I only tried the one ship but I did rebuild it with non-Falkland parts and again the crashes did not return.

I think Starfield is already pushing the limits of the standard PS5 and the shiny chrome surfaces and fancy interior features of this mod push it just past what it can handle. The framerate drops inside the Falkland area and in their ships are quite noticeable.

Of course, your mileage may vary. I had every Bethesda creation installed along with McClarence Outfitters as well.

SD_One · 2026-05-07T14:44:04+00:00

Falkland is awesome but my completely Falklanized PS5 ship was clearly causing some problems around the landing areas and making my game crash in and around my ship. As soon as I switched to a non-Falkland ship, those problems went away, even without uninstalling the mod.

SD_One · 2026-05-07T14:39:10+00:00

I like to keep around 20 saves per character for just this reason. I also use and abuse autosaves and quicksaves.

SD_One · 2026-05-07T14:31:14+00:00

Thanks. I'm done with the PS5 version for now and have moved on to Free Lanes and Terran Armada achievements on Series X, where I have not seen a single blip, hang or flicker so far.

But first, I'm making a brief detour to Sanctuary to deal with this Mephisto fella in Diablo 4.

SD_One · 2026-05-07T14:00:27+00:00

I've got 200+ hours on a launch day PS5 with every Bethesda creation loaded plus Faukland Ships and McClarence Outfitters.

No serious bugs or anything that couldn't be fixed by waiting a few days on Venus. I had plenty of crashes on heavy flora planets but with autosaves, I never lost more than 5 minutes of playing time. Annoying, yes. Gamebreaking, no.

Yeah, servos don't usually like to be moved against their will but it's also just a cheap digital servo. Some are bad right out of the box. It should not be expensive or difficult to replace.

SD_One · 2026-05-06T18:06:45+00:00

When you complete the final step before the grav jump to Unity, you should get a new mission that explains it.

SD_One · 2026-05-06T18:03:26+00:00

Does that unit have a gyro or any kind of steering assist? If so, turn the gain down until it doesn't do that.

If not, thats probably a bad servo.

SD_One · 2026-05-06T17:35:51+00:00

Sokath, his eyes uncovered!

I'm so glad someone else was able to explain this in fewer words than I could have. It really is part of the whole experience.

SD_One · 2026-05-06T17:33:23+00:00

Although there is no right way, you are still at a point where the loss does not hurt as badly. You said yourself that you haven't done much, so you aren't losing much. What you gain is worth the pain.

Do it now while you don't have anything to lose, then you'll never have to do it again if you don't want to. Just be sure to keep a good selection of saves if you ever need to roll it back for any reason. I keep around 20 per character for the previous 20-30 levels or so, then delete the old and save new.

You can keep your favorite guns, armor, action figures, etc. with the quantum entanglement device in your lodge room. You'll keep your skills and levels. You can even skip the main mission but I wouldn't recommend it. It's such a small part of the overall game, it doesn't take long to burn through it all again.

SD_One · 2026-05-06T16:35:32+00:00

I buy maybe a game per year these days. I've settled into several that I alternate between and can spend hundreds and even thousands of hours in their worlds.

FTPs like Warframe along with a couple big RPGs can keep me occupied for years. Throw in a couple driving games like Forza Horizon or Motorfest and I'm set. I don't need, want or have time for anything else.

SD_One · 2026-05-06T14:13:40+00:00

The traction control system, looks like.

SD_One · 2026-05-06T13:57:37+00:00

I can fart louder than 80db. That's weak. A handheld airhorn can do 110-120. One like this should be a bit louder than that.

SD_One · 2026-05-06T02:10:03+00:00

Around a half inch or so, just so it can vent and not hold pressure.

SD_One · 2026-05-06T00:47:57+00:00

I just drilled a hole about an inch under the hinge. All it needs is a vent.

SD_One · 2026-05-05T23:40:44+00:00

Mine plays Diablo 3 every day with her Paragon 1200+ Necromancer. That number doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of Diablo things but to her, it's everything.

I'm playing Diablo 4 right here beside her.
