  1. The “real fun” of #StarbornArchives is building a deck using your favourites quickslots

    Starting with the #FreeLanes update, I started using the quickslots exclusively for quantum essence and Starborn powers. I wanted to take advantage of the new vanilla features to get as close to the #Apotheosis mod as I could (all my superpowers at my fingertips with as few clicks as possible)

    But since so many of the Starborn Archives cards can only be cast from a quickslot, I figured, “No, the right way to use this mod is to build and tweak a deck, just like I would with a TCG IRL.” And now I have access to some pretty cool lore-friendly Starborn powers that are more reminiscent of biotic abilities from the Mass Effect series.

    Oh right, and I can also deploy Terrormorphs as xenoweapons. Muah-ah-ah-ah-ahhhh

  3. Starship combat with #Manticore is also much more difficult than #ExtremeMode

    Imagine, if you will, the total insanity of taking on a large incoming #Watchtower fleet with Manticore. I just splashed 26 ships in a mindbending 3D dogfight, with the hostiles using that extra dimension almost as well as I do, while being a lot tougher. I had to stay ahead of their fire and shake off missile lock immediately, looping in and through and around them to keep out of the crossfire, because (as I learned very early in trying Manticore) once shields are broken the ship is trashed after 1–3 hits.

    It’s asymmetric warfare all the way, without any clear advantage to exploit but your own wits during daredevil maneuvers. You can’t adopt a brute force approach, because you can only have a max of 9 fleet ships so Watchtower will always have you outnumbered; since the Vanilla game only allows you to own 10 ships at a time, that’s where the mod caps it too (even with mods like #Darkstar installed that increase your owned fleet capacity IIRC).

  5. If you thought Vanilla+ Starborn Ambushes were bad (or just plain irritating, most times), you should see the ambushes in the #StarbornArchives creation

    They come out of the walls

    They come out of the ground

    They come out of thin air

    You can’t escape them

    No place is safe from them

    They’re seeping out of the cracks and folds of the multiverse, lookin’ to rob you blind

    I mean, that’s what competing for the Artifacts boils down to in the first place. It just feels a lot more petty when it’s for your trading card collection. Even if it is… cough cough… more relatable.

  7. #Manticore is a surprisingly good tactical combat overhaul #StarfieldCreation

    I’m not going to sit here and say I love everything about it, but overall it does exactly what it says on the tin and provides “brutal, fast-paced combat encounters” far beyond Vanilla+ #ExtremeMode

  9. Say. You know what I haven’t tried yet?

    #Watchtower vs #TerranArmada showdown! I wonder if they’ll immediately turn on each other, or band together as unlikely allies against me?

    Either way it’ll be chaos. Muah-ah-ah-ah-ahhh

  11. Mod magic: Starfield becomes 'Star Wars Genesis' — mods give it a KOTOR vibe and livelier hubs.

    Fans cheer, but critics slam clunky UI, repetitive fetch quests and engine limits.

    Bethesda revealed DLC, free content and gameplay tweaks. #StarfieldMods

  12. My current Starfield character, Harris Hopgood and his excellent ship, Mischief 1! In his fourth universe, I think 🤔 😁 #starfield #bethesda #starfieldmods #scifi

  13. I love my #EarthDomeHome (another great player home from DownfallNemesis)

    And yes, I decided to keep the Earth Savior Award for myself in this universe and put it on display amongst the cherry blossoms. Heh.

  15. I found this lovely little island just off the arctic coast on Bel II, just large enough for an outpost beacon and a Darkstar Omen LX200 X Ultra platform, a far enough swim to ensure the death of any mortal, and pose a serious health risk to Starborn

    Now this is a slice of heaven

  17. There’s still only one thing I dislike about the #Watchtower #StarfieldCreation as a whole:

    I hate the Piazzi system. I’ve always hated the Piazzi system. Ever since the first planetfall as part of the Main Quest in my first ever playthrough’s Prime Universe, which, let’s face it, feels like eons ago now, thus creating the subjective illusion that I’ve hated Piazzi for all time and eternity.

    Yet I can’t for the life of me remember “why”

  19. Huh. Bug or feature?

    Turns out #Watchtower absolutely will jump in and attack your United Colonies and Freestar Collective allies once a star system’s alert level is high enough

  21. I’ve (already) lost track of the number of times I’ve faced off against #Watchtower and I have exactly two observations worth noting:

    1. The ideal strategy for dealing with them is to simply allow them to be a persistent threat, much like Ecliptic, the Spacers, Crimson Fleet, and Va’ruun Zealots, stretching out the growth of your fleet as long as possible, to allow them enough time to become dangerous enough to be worth fighting in a direct conflict
    2. It’s so disturbing to be called an “S-Category Deviant” that I feel compelled to exterminate them as fast as possible regardless of knowing the ideal strategy

    Well played, Kinggath, well played

  23. I would like the most absurdly overpowered weapon, please. One that’s just as likely to off me as it is my enemies.

    Enter the “BombaTech Nuke Launcher: Achievement friendly tactical nuclear ordnance launcher.” (basically a redesigned import of the Fat Man launcher from the Fallout series to the Starfield universe, but more dangerous and with no power armor to protect you, but with full Boost Assault Training turns your humble character into a full-blown Starship Trooper)

  25. Round Two versus #Watchtower, additional additional:

    Built up a fleet of six starships—fully upgraded Mk. 10 #Darkstar fighters, destroyers, and battleships—all piloted by Elite Crew and decked out with Skydrops; I’ve dismantled their array network; and I’m pretty sure I’ve successfully unlocked all the little extra bonus goodies along the way

  27. I suppose the weirdest thing so far with my #Darkstar + #Watchtower playthrough is winding up with 2.6B credits in my Galbank account by the time I completed Legacy’s End

    Like what? I sided with SysDef

  29. I happened to notice that #Watchtower fleets use an interesting but peculiar difficulty-scaling algorithm—the individual ships scale by level as normal, but the size of the fleets seem to keep growing as well. I haven’t quite mapped out the curve in my head but it seems to be polynomial.

    In any case. It took me nearly 45 minutes last night just to loot all the damn ships from a large response fleet in orbit of Ka’Zaal.

    PS: currently playing on #Darkstar #PunishMe difficulty, which compared to #Scarfield is disappointingly easy, however, works on both #PC and #Xbox which is not nothing

  31. Holy hell the #PopcornTime score for “Legacy’s End” is not merely haunting, it elevates storming the Key starstation to the degree of most-glorious-holy-crusade

    (Which is exactly how it should feel when you go in full-KryoZet-Mantis armed with one of 510deshawn’s Stellar Blades, speed-running the entire space-pirate-massacre entirely within Phased Time)

  35. Round two versus #Watchtower, additional:

    This time I’ve been hijacking Watchtower Battleships for my fleet instead of Starborn Guardians, renaming them Battlestars. It may be slightly out-of-universe, and by no means thematically-correct, but somehow… it still fits

    To say nothing of decking out every ship in my fleet with a terrifying array of skydrop modules now—orbital precision strikes, wide-area bombardment, inferno bombs, and smoke screens, to be precise. I still need to add EMPs to wipe out all the mechs, turrets, and bots with a first strike though.

  37. Round two versus #Watchtower

    This universe I’m taking the time to comb through every nook and cranny, and pace myself dismantling the array network

    Also: during the initial ambush I managed to take out two of the three Watchtower ships before they disabled my vessel, and the entire first-wave boarding party before they disabled me. Next time around I’m hoping to take out the whole ambush party (assuming that possibility has even been scripted, fingers crossed)

  39. I can’t believe how quickly I was able to dismantle (read: destroy) the entire #Watchtower array network by building a decent little fleet of #StarbornGuardian ships and targetting the array hubs

    I really should have gone after the terminal arrays, to draw out the campaign a little, as well as for the extra loot. The whole chain-reaction thing is deeply unsatisfying, from a gameplay perspective.

  41. Huh. It’s a bit weird to say, I know, but Kinggath Creations’ #Watchtower may be a community mod yet it feels canonical while still providing a wholly unique gameplay experience from the base game.

    Not to mention the orbital strikes, fleet mechanics, mech warfare, and random Londinion-style terrormorph outbreaks. Hell yeah.

    So yes, as Torin put it, with my NG+10 character this shadowy cabal absolutely has a point.

  42. At long last, an up-to-date alternative #AutoLoot #StarfieldMod : #LazyPanda

    It’s based on Aurie’s #LazyScav and works in much the same way on the player-facing side, but internally it has much improved performance and full DLC support. It also includes support for untagged miscellany, which appears to include unrecognized custom tagged items such as a variety of other mod-added content that Lazy Scav would ignore or glitch-out over. Lazy Panda don’t care, he loots and pillages EVERYTHING.

    One funny twist: if you loot something by hand that Lazy Panda already set his sights on, he’ll grab it right back out of your inventory. Not even kidding.
