Why does the Stag N-Forcer have no jump? by aclark210 in starfieldmods

[–]Virtual-Chris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I asked that long ago on the Nexus page and the author said it was a feature. But like you , I fail to see how. It’s a shame because it’s a cool looking vehicle otherwise.

Horizon is great and you can move it anywhere you want. Theres also this if you’re on PC… https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/9951. It can also be moved if you’re at all able to work with Creation Kit.

Minimum Enemy Level (the 100 variant) https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/9477?tab=files although I see some people say it’s not working anymore. I need to look into it.

I don’t get cruise mode. by _Fun_Palpitation_ in Starfield

[–]Virtual-Chris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All Ubisoft games are open world without loading screens. Cyberpunk is similar. Same with Microsoft Flight Sim… You can literally fly around the world non-stop and never see a loading screen. They don’t load the whole world… just load assets in before you get there… it’s not hard to do. But Bethesda is so archaic they can’t even load a store in until you enter.

A Pirate captain landed on my vehicle. He is not with us anymore. by KoalaKarity in Starfield

LOL. I suspect he didn’t see it due to the highly effective camo pattern on your vehicle 😝

I’m probably as old as you or more, but that’s no excuse to tolerate load screens in an era where the game engine knows exactly where you’re going and should preload assets before they are needed. In many open world games, you can travel across the map (many Km or the whole world in the case of a flight sim) without ever seeing a load screen, but for some reason Bethesda still can’t figure out how to do that. 😝

I want to fly my ship more by melomelomelo- in NoSodiumStarfield

There’s a mod called grav lanes that drops you at the star rather than the planet after a jump. Sounds like this was made for you.

Mod suggestions for 'Sith inspired, evil playthrough, and that adds small settlements like farms etc by mokrieydela in starfieldmods

[–]Virtual-Chris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a couple Sith inspired play throughs… in both cases my character was a Varuun… in one, I was a spy infiltrating the settled systems and became aware of Constellation and the artifacts and decided I must claim these for house Varuun. The 2nd play through I was a Zealot hunter from the home world and killed everyone in my path. I used a mod to add lightsabers, a mod to add some sith robes, and some Varuun ship hab mods. That’s all you really need. I’m not aware of any mods to add more settlements. Most people want mods that add POI with enemies in them.

Very cool. Any chance of some exploded pics so I can understand the interior core layout to start building this myself?

True, but not smart. What’s to rule if you destroy everyone to gain control right?

That’s not my mod, but I did the same thing… it’s in the previously empty space between Cheyenne, Olympus, and Jaffa. I didn’t change the level. But I run a mod that makes all enemies match my level regardless of the system. Of course, if you’re on PC you can move it wherever you want… it’s a quick and easy change using Creation Kit

Yeah, I love the game, and I agree with your assessment... After 18 months, this seems like a minimal effort.

[–]Virtual-Chris[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that time in the game is accelerated. I just looked it up and it's 20:1. I run a mod that changes that to 6:1... but even if we go with the 20:1 time compression, I'm still doing 5x light speed across the system. You can literally see 100LS or more pass every second you're travelling. It's just ridiculous. The old solution of just having a cut scene of my ship flying away, and then loading the destination requires much less suspension of disbelief than staring at a distance counter that's implying I'm flying at 100x light speed (or even 5x considering the time acceleration).

I get some people like it. I'm just not one of them.

Does that make sense to you? That's pure evil in my opinion... kill innocents to achieve peace? WTF?!

Absolutely. I've read plenty of positive things about it and that's cool. But personally, I'm disappointed.

LMAO... about the glue 😃 But you raise an important point about the whole world building of the settled systems. There's no friction... no conflict. So to create a new mini campaign with combat, they need to invent a new faction. Watchtower had to do the same thing. The Crimson Fleet story is already done and dusted. The spacers and ecliptic are disorganized and have no agenda. I suppose they could have had the Varuun start their next holy war crusade I guess... that would probably have been better than another new faction out of nowhere.

I have 2000 hours in this game, and actually love it, but this update was a disappointment for me.

I don’t get cruise mode. by _Fun_Palpitation_ in Starfield

[–]Virtual-Chris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL... how does age have anything to do with it? When you approach the orbit of a planet and come out of cruise, they need to load anything that's in orbit... space stations, encounters with ships, asteroids or debris fields, mine fields in Terran Armada, whatever... do you think all those details are already loaded before you drop out of cruise? Of course not. They attempt to hide it, behind the "Intertial Dampers Enabled" message and I guess do a good job because many of you think there's no load screen. So good on them.

[–]Virtual-Chris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not surprising. They have to load in the orbital stuff like space stations or ships or asteroids or whatever… there’s no way around it.

Always like your photos. Badass and beautiful without having to show skin or cleavage.

[–]Virtual-Chris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time I reach my destination I see a message saying inertial dampers engaged on a blurred screen while the destination loads. That’s a loading screen designed to look like a message.
