Seamless Space Travel in Starfield Is Now Available, Thanks to New Mod

A new quality-of-life mod for Starfield finally allows you to seamlessly travel from space to planet, no fast travel (and load times) needed.

Bethesda is incompetent. Any other developer would be crucified for not putting out a game current with the times.

[anast]

They did this on purpose to save money.

[StarkR3ality]

I think it's due to engine limitations and having to focus on console primarily. If this was a PC only title it would be a different beast.

[anast]

It is impossible to be this confusing. Not using a new engine was done on purpose. Focusing on consoles was done on purpose. Not making it exclusive to PC was done on purpose.

I read it as "Shameless" Space Travel in Starfield Is Now Available...lol

I can assure you guys, I did change my eye glasses few months ago :)

"Bethesda is incompetent. Any other developer would be crucified for not putting out a game current with the times."

Did you even watched the video, dude?

Honestly? I don´t think you even played the game, so how can you have an opinion about something you don´t know sh!t?

This "seamless" space travel mod do nothing but BREAK the freaking game!

There´s a reason why ships has different defense, weapon and engine systems. This mod allows you to travel so fast with your standard engines in a way which makes space combats unplayable.

[arkard]

Own the game, thanks. My statement stands. Modders are fixing almost every complaint people have about the game, and that's even without access to the full modding tools. If any other developer relied on mods to fix their game they would be review bombed and not given a chance.

Pc was the only reason I bought this game because I knew mods would clean up Bethesda mess

[phoenixwing]

I also need to clarify. I got this game free with my cpu purchase from amd. But I did technically buy it.

[Obscure_Observer]

"Pc was the only reason I bought this game because I knew mods would clean up Bethesda mess"

BS!

Why don´t you download this mod and come back here to tell us how it trashed your game?

I´ll wait!

[Rizzgawd]

Imagine buying Bethesda games on anything but PC

[fsfsxii]

PC gamers buy a broken car and fix it themselves

[VariantAEC]

And they buy that beatee of a car at new car MSRPs only to fix it to feel good about it. That's nice... but does anyone really enjoy being forced to do things like that?

PC gamers are forced to eat the chaff to get to the cream... and they all claim it's great.

Not getting the Starfield hate. Been a long time player of Bethesda games. Going all the way back to Morrowind as a kid. This is their first release since then that actually impressed me and really got me sucked into the game. They got back to actual roleplaying with this one.

[lucian229]

You really don't get the hate? I'm guessing you didn't bother reading why lmao. Modders already fixing the game for free, fixing things within a few weeks of launch, alone and unpaid while a dev team being paid over he course of ten years can't do what that solo modder can do.

Pathetic. Not to mention the game just isn't very good

[CappyBlack]

Sorry the game isn't your particular cup of tea. Go play something else then, instead of just downplaying the game every chance you get. In the meantime, I'll be enjoying the game. Alongside millions of others. No mods required, though I will be partaking in the future.

[lucian229]

It isn't about being a cup of tea, it's about the laziness of Bethesda. Why is it a single modder can make seamless exploration so quickly yet a full dev team can't why is it a single modder was able to make a high res HD pack of the game already? Why is it there are so many load times, such bad sound direction, repeat caves that are the same on one planet as they are on the other? Why do you think it is the game sits at 60% user score on meta critic?

Because Bethesda makes games now with the intent of not finishing them and having free workers finish the game for them with mods. That's why.

[Dissidia]

Is that why?

[CappyBlack]

It's a 6.6 on only user reviews because people like you go to metacritic and give the game a 0 of 10 because it didn't release on your console of choice. I have no issue with how the game was designed, I enjoy what Bethesda offered me with Starfield. Many others have as well.
It's one of the biggest releases of the year. You can either get on board or not. Doesn't change the fact it's a good game that many people are enjoying.

[Vits]

Well, you are on N4G and this is an Xbox exclusive. So you will, by default see much more negativity than in other places. Just by the sheer number of PS fanboys that use this place.

Go to any other major gaming forum and the discussion is much more tame. This mod is a perfect example, being called "fixing" here but in reality, it is one of those mods that if anything proves why that particular feature is not in the base game. It crashes terribly with the sheer size of the map and therefore was consciously omitted by design.

And don't get me wrong. There have always been mods that fix real issues or improve on certain points in Bethesda's games. But this is not one of them.

[Barlos]

Leave it up to the mods to fix Bethesda's games

[badz149]

LOL RIP Saturn's rings

[StarkR3ality]

At the end of the day, the modding community are additive and not "fixers" of the game.

Starfield is a 7/10, a good game with great aspects but too empty feeling and the exploration is the worst in a Bethesda game and yet it was aimed at primarily "Seeing what's out there".

Modders will take Starfield and make it a 10/10 just like they did with fallout 4 and Skyrim. Skyrim especially while being amazing and one of the best games ever at the time in 2011. Modders took vanilla Skyrim, that's extremely shallow, and mad it genuinely probably the best RPG still to this day. Fully modded Skyrim is genuinely an experience I'm sorry console players can't get to play, it's that much better.

[MrBaskerville]

This is only really part of a solution. There still needs to be stuff to experience and explore while flying between planets, to make the journey interesting. Like pirate encounters, random ships that you can engage, strange signals, derelict spaceships.

A lot of these things exist in the game, but should be presented to the player during short flight between worlds. Like in prior Bethesda games. you should be encouraged to fly over to interesting looking objects where you encounter small stories and dungeons to explore.

I've aired this idea on Twitter on most Starfield fans seem to hate this idea, because the game is an rpg and not a space game. But I don't know, i feel the Bethesda formula could easily be used in space. Can only be more exciting than walking around outside the established cities where there's a whole lot of nothing and a occasional quest location.
