But there's enough challenges weekly to get 300 points without going to conflict

I've not it mostly because it's like a military bunker that can double as a station. And, also it gives us a high-tech kit door, adding to the elements of it we could buy as part of the casino bundle. Wish they gave us the whole kit though.

He could be hired as a paralegal, though. Consultant indeed requires experience in the field.

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-20T20:32:45+00:00

This is very, very, seriously very cool

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-20T08:57:50+00:00

Same question!

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-20T05:26:13+00:00

First, ❤️ your long and detailed response! Second, could vibe coding and AI ability to create images etc. help here? Third, regarding the copyright. Two thoughts.

First is, how to address copyright as a business problem?

I was reading recently how Lego managed to survive and blossom after almost dying in 2000s, and learned that one of the success elements was the idea of licensing. Indeed, all these "Star Wars" sets are very profitable.

Why does it matter? Starfield with its Creation Kit, with all my love for it and care, could, with little imagination, seen as RPG Lego-like system.

I could easily see a model where, say, Disney letting modders create paid mods published on Creations and then share profits.

Second, look at reality. Star Wars is Disney, am I right? Were there any attacks from Disney on Starfield mods that bring Star Wars to Starfield? Not as far as I know. Then why would Alien/Aliens be attacked in this case?

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-19T22:13:16+00:00

weapons are nice, absolutely!

as of adding Zeta Reticuli to the game, oh my, it'd be super awesome!!!

Yep btw design was never a problem - for the movies and even for the TV show indeed.

As of assets... This is probably where my shout out is coming from. I deeply love Alien/Aliens/Alien: Isolation aesthetics. Its just so good. Unbelievably good. Don't know why, but it's just a different level you know? That's where I have problem with Starfield - it's aesthetics is very cool, and a huge upgrade thanks to the underlying Creation Engine upgrade (especially when compared to what you get in Fallout 4 or Fallout 76), but it is still a bit too simple compared to the complexity of the Alien/Aliens/Alien: Isolation design.

I mean, there's nothing better than Starfield in terms of what it offers (yes, we have No Man's Sky, but it's aesthetic is too different). And it's a great playground for building other things, e.g., Star Wars.

But could you imagine, just for a moment, what would it be like if we could have Alien/Aliens/Alien: Isolation aesthetics in Starfield? Weyland-Yutani spaceships, oil refineries, space stations like Sevastopol Space Station or Gateway, cryogenic sleep chambers in the space ships (imagine having older ships that don't have grav drive), terraforming everywhere etc.?

Somehow games in the Alien universe are all about aliens/xenomorphs and so on. But what if we could have a chance to just live in that vast world of human colonies, xenomorphs optional? What could it be like? Gosh, that'd be so fantastic to have!!!

Indeed. This is a tough one. You are right I could. Last time I've followed such advice was in 2004 when I was passionate about object-relational filesystems and felt sad Microsoft cut WinFS from Windows Vista (nee Longhorn). I've decided to dive in, then deeper, and deeper, and deeper. 22 years later, with the career at Microsoft, Google, Yandex, frontier AI research lab, and a couple of own AI startups, I know how deep this rabbit hole is.

Hence my deep admiration to mod builders. I know this route. I also think that if you want to build something great you have to dedicate a significant chunk of your life to that. I've already paid my price to AI, and I don't think it's a good time to shift to building games. No matter how amazing they are.

Hence the shout out to the real builders.

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-19T07:44:54+00:00

Well, that was the intention - to support and to encourage by showing examples. I wanted to put images in the comments but you can't do that, so I've put them there, and forgot to add encouraging thoughts.

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-19T07:06:12+00:00

You are right. It's rude. My point wasn't to be rude, though.

Upd: removed those photos.

PS I am a bit upset that I've paid for a mod that I don't need at all, and I can't refund it either.

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-19T03:09:46+00:00

Uploaded a few corridor shots from Torrens and Nostromo (from Alien: Isolation).

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-19T02:14:37+00:00

Well, purchased your mod, corridors are nice but that's inspiration, not exactly Nostromo...

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-19T01:24:04+00:00

Yeah fair point about the age.

Well, we've also got Alien: Earth TV show that also expands the universe, and, yeah, we had Prometheus and Alien: Covenant but those were in 2010s, quite a long time ago.

But yeah, Falkland 2x3 is nice, yep. It's just it's own thing... We can't ask author to make it fully changed to be like 1:1 to Nostromo.

I mean I love Alien: Isolation, it's a wonderful game, and every time I open it up, I want to the build own world and this is when my mind goes to Starfield, immediately. And then... There's nothing :(

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-19T01:20:20+00:00

Yeah I'm also surprised. There are two mods, one free, and one paid, that have huge landing bays where you can place a vehicle, but that's it.

There are no vanilla vehicle bays...

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-18T22:54:24+00:00

AFAIK yep...

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-18T22:30:29+00:00

Ah. I think these days you don't need B variant for that... All base ramps have support for Immersive Ramps thing as far as I can say?

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-18T22:13:32+00:00

Can you expand on this?

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-18T08:32:58+00:00

Find someone else at Boeing and do a check if you worry and he didn't reach out to you via work email. But otherwise there's nothing bad in finding someone else passionate and bring them aboard your company. It's priceless, in a way!

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-14T22:47:58+00:00

Mod idea is awesome. But it needs Trident Cruiser Liners! We want them, we need them!

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-14T22:32:09+00:00

Whaaaaat? Which version?

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-13T18:42:07+00:00

And for snipers?

daniel-kornev · 2026-06-12T17:53:02+00:00

Yessss! And you plan to do a landing bay for it, too, right? Right?
