You can also build crates inside your ship that can hold 150 weight a piece, these are completely separate from your ship's cargo hold; also some modules come with crates (like the captain's quarters); there's also the captain's locker, but that only holds 40

if on PC, you can get a mod to increase captains storage size. How'd you build those crates though?

Going by that last pic he's adding it through the decorate option. Haven't tried it myself so don't know if there is any limit on that, like can you add 10 crates and have this gigantic storage room ?

yes, you can add as many as you want as long as you have space/resources

I just use my safe in my bedroom at the lodge. Every time the cargo hold gets filled with mats I just take em all and dump em in the safe for future weapon modding, suit upgrades. Rinse and repeat.

How is the latest version on Steam? is it stable?

Not a single crash, been playing since the release.

I have to say that the art direction (character models aside hehe), color grading, composition, etc… how the effects are layered… it is all amazing in this game. The first shot is just .

Another patch on PS5. Still broken according to Reddit posts. I can't even be bothered to load it up to check at this point.

I have 70 hours so far and only 1 crash. It's been very smooth otherwise.

 

[Humdinger]

I'm at 55 hours with one significant crash on PS5 Pro. Runs pretty well.

Had my first hard crash last night where I got the PS screen to send a report and all that bs. So that makes three freezes and one crash and one weird ass bug -

Head to the Procyon A Binary System and go to Procyon 4 and let me know if your ship suddenly turns first person and there ain't nothin you can do otherwise. I mean, your ship is stuck floating around in first person and you cant do shit except move the circular reticle. I tried loading older saves and heading back and the same thing happened.

I hope they throw out another patch or two, but my hopes aren't high.

This game still has the worst clothing options I've ever seen in a game, whomever designed this swill needs to be fired

Have you done any planetary exploration by vehicle? That seems to be the most common trigger.

Good to know. I didn't want to buy it anyway.

Got an update just now. Maybe the PS5 patch.

Yes I have done plenty. The one crash was while exploring by vehicle though. PS5 pro 40 fps mode

When I look at my creations list in game it says they all need an update but looking at creations list from start menu they are all updated on PS5.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Hit level 25 last night. I still haven't gotten the Mantis or even set foot on Akila yet. 60 hours.

Yup. Enhanced at 60fps.

Much appreciated, I'm playing at visual 60fps. Do the frame drops not bother you?

Nope not at all. I'm a Bethesda veteran As long as the thing isn't straight broken I'm sound as a pound.

There was another PS5 patch yesterday to help with crashes. I haven't checked out Procyon IV yet though to see if it's still busted.

Level 33. Got the Mantis. Two main quests down. One faction quest down and completed a shit ton of side quests.

I'm not sure on the number of planets I've explored and 100% surveyed, but it's been a lot.

87 hours

Am I the lone player with this one as of now? All good. Not sure when I'll hit burnout and I'm not putting a timer on it. Just amazed I've been able to stick with it this long.

 

[Fess]

Yo that's enough money for a badass ship design! Go to New Homestead and buy some chunky 2 floor parts with stairs instead a ladders.

Cool pics!

I'm still playing nothing else two weeks after the update released. No main quest done yet in this playthrough, I'm just doing side content. And I love the new space travel! I've stumbled onto so many new things never seen before in over 300 hours.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Fess Haven't bought a ship yet, but I already have seven of them. I love watching them descend onto a landing site and just straight up hijacking em.

Gonna wait until my skills are up in tech so I can fly the Class B ships, then I'll purchase

I'm about 60 hours into another replay after the most recent updates and I'm having a great time with it. I haven't even tried the free lanes travel stuff yet. Too busy figuring out whose clothes I want to wear the most and trying to get Andreja to like me.

 

[Markio128]

I'm still plugging away at it. Around 40 hours so far. I recently finished the Rangers main quest and gained a solid ship. I'm now having to infiltrate the crimson fleet for the UC.

 

[DenchDeckard]

With these updates, this game is great. It's now a classic Bethesda game.

Very, very good. I've still not finished the main quest line but I can not remember the last main quest line I did enjoy in a Bethesda game.

Anyway. I'm completelu and utterly hooked. I'm making some mining outposts now.

Good shit!

Some of the music just hits those Bethesda moments love it, it Def has that quirky Bethesda feel and I haven't fully dove in but taking some breaks from Crimson desert and starting to push further

 

[SpokkX]

On my pc the loading times are really short now. The longest i found was 5 seconds and most are just one second screenfade

This is improved, right?

Granted 9800x3d with faster nvme that ps5… but it was still slow before

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

The game is just good, Bethesda type of goodness and I realize it has some downfalls but I dunno this game Def has some stuff to offer. Bethesda worlds just have this awe to them, like you look and just want to really see what you can find. I absolutely love the soundtrack is has that fallout vibe that man it hits all those marks.

I think it has a lot of stuff to mess with like ship building etc I don't think the ship combat is the best but it isn't the worst either, it's still satisfying.

It seems like it'll be a fun ride to just bang the platinum maybe 60 70ish hours and bounce out. Don't need it to be the be all end all hit it's a pretty good feeling Bethesda game.

Difficult to do a comparison now but I think system to system fast travel is faster, otherwise I used to have 1-3 seconds loading, with some screen fades, and I still have that. 7800x3D + 990Pro.

I'm more annoyed at the slow ladder climbs. Drives me crazy if I have ladders to any essential part of my ship, I try to swap everything out to stairs by using those 2 floor blocks. Highly recommended!

Another game that would've benefitted by launching on PS first.

Same goes for PS games on Xbox and PC. If you're just looking at sales numbers.

Buuut exclusivity always highlight and exaggerate problems, for platform war FUD, and devs don't like negativity so when possible we get bigger improvements than if it was a smashing success.

Anyone finished the new DLC? any good?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Anyone finished the new DLC? any good?

Not finished it yet, but I'm a good way though it. It's great. Quite meaty and plenty to do.

To me, this game is now a classic Bethesda game. They've added quirkier characters and actually giving you options to do missions that are based around piracy or other lower morality mission types.

I don't know, it feels like a complete game now with loads to do. Everything is basically where it should have been at launch which is a shame but kind of normal for today's games now.

I would 100 percent jump back in if you thought the OG game was decent but lacking something.

Pretty much. I really like it overall. Chill game, compared with CP 2077.

Super chill game. Good to chill out with after a hard day's work.

I'm hooked and only planned to do the DLC and the final last couple of missions.

Now I'm building outposts and working on my minerals and crafting components. My ship is pimped out to where I want it and I'm currently level 72. Can't stop playing or thinking about the game and what I'm going to do.

Id say for me it is a solid 8.5 to 9 out of ten game now.

 

[SkylineRKR]

On base PS5 after 3 ish hours.

Yeah this game def. has CP 2077 vibes. You can just fool around. I am glad I gave it a try now. Just put on autopilot, do some stuff, engage in shootouts. Go to some outpost.

I think it also looks excellent, Starfield captures that space opera feeling. Its a lot like Mass Effect. Load times are barely an issue, some fade to blacks but nothing major anymore.

 

[Memati187]

After some recommendations here, I bought this and am already 50h in. Still no story progress, doing mostly quests that are thrown at me, which is surprisingly fun.
Right now I'm into the terrormorph questline, some awesome shit.

Only thing that sucks are the random crashes. Sometime they occur one after another or don't happen for a long time.
Still can't stop playing this crap.

I can see the enourmes potential this game could have become, which frustrated most people. But right now definitely 7/10 the least.

Gonna head out and get my Razorleaf on next session, loving it

Been binging out heading to planets for the artifact powers.

Ah, the tit planet. Liopleurodon 's home base

I thought it was out already? I'm at about 7 hours and had 1 crash so not sure but yea, thought it was out... Some folks may be still having issues tho.

It sucks the game just didn't land for people, I'm hooked... And it feels so at home being a Bethesda game
