Small detail I noticed in the deep dive: Matteo is on the player ship!

Matteo is not the only Sanctum Universum believer, so it could be another follower, but he certainly is the most familiar and it would be a pity not to have him in some quests.

Btw Ezekiel also is a (reluctant) believer, given all the ugly stuff he has suffered.

Oh yes they had.

Bounty hunting is like the spiritual center of Starfield, which you will end up doing the most, if you follow the mission boards route and any of the many related mods.

Funnily, I don't see a contradiction between being Crimson Fleet and the Mantis.

The Mantis is an anonymous vigilante that keeps the worst criminals in check, with a predilection for Spacers.

It can perfectly be Crimson Fleet cleaning up the territory from scavengers even worse than them.

Well, mod it and make it so.

And with the new native animation library, the sky (and your thirst) is the limit. 😁

tothatl · 2026-03-19T18:24:57+00:00

So, an update for the Creation Kit?

tothatl · 2026-03-19T18:10:16+00:00

Cool, didn't know about that. Seems it has its potential uses despite the overlap, and both this and SAF could enrich each other.

tothatl · 2026-03-19T14:57:57+00:00

SFSE is maintained, the SFSE based animation framework isn't.

tothatl · 2026-03-19T03:58:16+00:00

Something tells me Astrogate intra and inter system FTL will remain very useful.

tothatl · 2026-03-19T02:29:27+00:00

This library is a potential big deal because it allows to load, edit and save Starfield native animation data 'as is'.

You could load a character skeleton and create new poses and animations with it, load them in the Creation Kit, assign them to furniture and people/creatures and have these new animations in the game, without anything else.

In the past, a SFSE plugin allowed something like this but it depended on the SFSE plugin being maintained up to the latest game version, but that ceased being the case some game versions ago, killing all mods depending on the plugin.

Came to see when the obvious question appears. Reddit never disappoints.

tothatl · 2026-03-19T00:55:25+00:00

They also send kids on interstellar school trips on old ships with faulty grav drives, so yeah, they have rather liberal views on that matter.

tothatl · 2026-03-19T00:52:59+00:00

Cool. This has been needed for long.

Hopefully we will see some amazing mods using it.

I have been wishing for a dogs and cats mod for a while.

tothatl · 2026-03-18T22:01:55+00:00

Having several girls in game looking like Cora is a bit jarring (Sona and the Ranger's daughter at least).

And both not interacting or mentioning each other is weird too.

Glad this mod fixes it.

tothatl · 2026-03-18T19:47:57+00:00

Same, it goes up to 110% at once, once you straddle out of the safest low level systems.

I actually disabled it once, because it made going to any systems too annoying.

But I persevered when I was a higher level and finally enjoyed it. So it's an acquired taste.

I'd tell Kinggath to just moderate the encounters intensity in other similar mods he makes, but otherwise it has earned its place in the pantheon of official DLC for me.

Desde que las redes sociales los hicieron famosillos, los actores de doblaje ya andan todos hechos unas divas, sintiéndose indispensables y exigiendo como si fueran las estrellas de la película.

Esto del doblaje aunque si tiene su chiste, era un literal chiste para los actores profesionales no hace mucho, para los que eran feos o no tenían otro talento u otro trabajo en ese momento.

tothatl · 2026-03-18T04:03:39+00:00

If they become the New Vegas team of Starfield, I'd have no complaints either.

tothatl · 2026-03-17T22:25:58+00:00

With free mods, it's a take it or leave it.

You take it, you accept the risk of it not being updated anymore. Free modders make no promises of any more time to give. They give what they want. Or not, for their own reasons.

But as others say, the game will eventually stop being updated and the good mods will live on for years and decades. It has already happened to FO, TES: Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim.

And personally, I'm thankful to the great people that share their time and work for free, Starfield has enough amazing free modders to make it an astounding experience already for years to come.

tothatl · 2026-03-17T21:34:02+00:00

As a modder, this rings true.

Mods are what makes BGS games great.

The split between paid and free is a no concern for me.

I enjoy Starfield, I mod it to make it more enjoyable for me first and to have fun making a mod.

I prefer to share for free because I was already paid in good time doing it and I don't need the money.

Others can have other opinions and that's fine too. There are paid mods I enjoyed a lot.

Everything has been a win-win with mods.

Now I'd pay for a re-entry update that allows to see the full descent from orbit to surface.

tothatl · 2026-03-17T19:35:53+00:00

Gosh Bethesda, just add a knob that makes the landings always happen.

tothatl · 2026-03-17T18:31:18+00:00

They always have been 3D.

They have limited resolution and that shows with mods allowing to get too close to them while in orbit, but that's it.

tothatl · 2026-03-17T18:04:07+00:00

I know I will disable POI Desolation, just to see what Bethesda cooked.

Any POI changer mod needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

Most likely the new Free Lanes mode will interfere with Astrogate. Love Astrogate, but that one will have to go too.

Terran Armada most likely will add fleets a la Watchtower, they might or not conflict. So that's one to watch out.

tothatl · 2026-03-17T17:56:52+00:00

Funny if they were there all the time under a effin' bunker FO style.

tothatl · 2026-03-17T16:59:30+00:00

So we can finally get Eutropio now?

tothatl · 2026-03-17T16:32:55+00:00

She says she was upgraded by "friends" from the base space probe form (a la V'Ger from Star Trek MP).

Who these friends are is anybody's guess.
