Planets with waterfalls and volcanos. Huge mountains to climb, diving, uderwater exploration, evil companions, kill cam, gore. Things that Bethesda done years ago....

Being able to take over an abandoned location on a planet or an abandoned space station and turning them into a settlement with colonists and stores etc

Ever sence I seen thos Dog Bots , I wanted one as companion. Hell Fallout 4 had whole DLC about owning and customizing your very own bot.

My wish list: Pets (Cora even asks for one!), control over door/ladder/stair placement in ships, ship design saves (blueprints) that can be shared online, ship parts inventory so we can move parts between ships, personal space stations with 10 docking ports max so you can park all your ships there (might be more feasible than a land based hanger situation), expanded companion/romance count (I want to romance Muria Siarkiewicz :), gun and suit blueprints (they mention them in the game, ie when you get a tour of the Key as Naeva says you can buy blueprints from Zuri?! With trait enchantment as you said), oh yeah, weapon and suit skins obviously are already in the game, just not fully implemented. There are a ton of clothing options on NPCs, why can we not get all of these from stores and loot boxes?

A pet cat, dog, etc would be 👌🏻

Space flight must be immersive and be able to fly from planet to planet in a Solar system.

(haven't played, watched a bunch of reviews) * Starfield New Vegas: No unkillable NPCs, Have real consequences for faction choices. * Skyrim in space _in space._ The bethesda exploration formula does not map to unlimited procedural words, but you _could_ map it 1-1 to a purely inspace portion of the game. Instead of a mountain, you see a nebula or pulsar. Instead of a dragon, you are diverted by an immense warship of space lifeform, following that, instead of stumbling upon a nondescript hut, you could detect a radio beacon. interstellar dust could act like mountain ranges. Allow the player to travel from 100km above one world to any other (this avoids the much greater effort of landing seemlessly) * Yeah, have a communicator as those space games typically provide. I would limit it to lightspeed so you still have to arrive at the planet. This could also solve the problem of many of the current unkillable NPCs. If you dont want the player to kill the heads of corporations, limit communication with them to this method. Why on earth would they let a heavily armed stranger into their boardroom anyway?? .. but IMO the game would be improved if even then, there was some way to hunt them down and deal with them face to face if you put the effort in. * No invisible walls on planets. A simple fix for this that would avoid significant programming would be a "camping" mechanic. When you camp, there is a loading screen that regenerates the procedural map around your current location. You could be pinged with warnings that you need to camp when you near the border, and if you ignore them at some point it triggers the camp action automatically. * Avoid ever repeating locations. Part of the solution would be to have procedural variation of locations. Hopefully modders and DLC can also add a bunch more handcrafted ones. Perhaps there should be a war or something by the time special locations run out, to explain why you stop finding them. You mentioned something about airlocks being slow? They probably use that time for loading assets, ie another form of loading screen. I would make the first door of the airlock lightning fast because those assets are already loaded, then make the second one as fast as possible, with some sort of indicator. Dont force people with fast machines to wait just to preserve the illusion.

No loading screens will do the job

You mentioned the brig but I’d like almost all habs to have a mechanic

Having the ability to rotate ship parts especially habs would be amazing. It’s also ridiculous why we were never given the ability to build our own starstations from day one.

Just give me the ability to strip and store parts from ships I steal to use for scratch building. And a cat for my outpost.

Give me the Bethesda GORE. Shooting, throwing a grenade, using melee, all have the same effect, so un-immersive.

let us have more than 10 ships to own

We need vehicles, TONS of vehicles, and more planets like Neon and New Atlantis

How about the ability to color design your own clothing and space suits? And helmets? So many of them could look so cool if we could just change the colorings.

It's gonna be a mech pet, as dogs are extinct. Which could be interesting

There needs to be cute alien creatures you can adopt and keep in your outposts. And waterfalls and rivers

Subspace communication systems would feel more star trek-ish.

Build proper settlements with stores etc including full space stations. ALL ship parts available in 1 location... maybe a staryard or something

I love your radio idea. I could see a mod where you build a mail/radio combo network. Using the gravity drive to send a capsule that sends a radio signal that gets picked up by a local service that forwards the radio signal it to its recipient. And you can only do this with systems that already have this service currently there. This could should fit in the lore I think. Maybe with a few sec delay for each direction and the gravity drive having to be full to send and in range.

Good ideas. I hope not all modders have deserted SF. I've spent hundreds of hours enjoying the vanilla game. Lord knows how many more hundreds I'd lose with your ideas, and modders creations would be amazing. Heres to hoping 🍻

Ok with biopet, but I'd take a robitic quadbidal

I want things that use existing assets and scripts. Access to the existing showers and internal walls for outposts. Access to all the clutter and "stage dressing" assests to put in outposts/ships. Putting existing stairs assets into existing two-storey 1x1 frames for stairs in ships. Companions showing up as blue or green dots on compass like the red dot for enemies. The ability to keep Sona on your ship in the same way Cora is. Getting other robot companions in the way you have Vasco, such as Kaiser or a dog bot. Your land rover being able to fit into a Hope 4 landing bay.

I want functioning heat leeches you have to get rid of and an alien parrot equivalent I can carry around. the most important thing would be a space cell replacing what would have been the world space in older BGS games, so we can actually travel from planet(cell) to planet(cell). not having high hopes for this one thouhh...

i want a land octopus as a pet/companion that I can command to attack

There is such a thing as FTL Commicarions in SciFi Lore.

I would settle for some joystick support right now. Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen have very good examples of great joystick support and from an immersion point of view its amazing.

The max number of crew you can have is 8, not 6. And its actually 9 as Sarah's skillset allows you to add her for free, she doesn't take a crew slot.

I also think they should have added ship blueprints in addition to the magazines free for prefab ships

Max crew is 8 dude upgrade you leadership.

They are giving you the option to have vendors with more money and more character carry weight hopefully this makes us money quicker

Also a skill tree reallocation too many scales are spread out but can fall under the same umbrella

in Far Cry 6 you can get allies from random encounters that you can send on special missions and get rewards, also there was an App for ME Andromeda that you could send other ships to do battles and get rewards too. about outfits, it would be cool if there was an option so you could appear with the clothing you have under the space suits when you are on a place with breathable air or just in cities and towns.

It would be so cool if you could make a space station. Same way you make an outpost. The moan use would be to detect anomalies in other systems and mine asteroids

Some sort of starborn laser sword

I wouldn't mind an alien pet as long as it's balanced (not too cute, not too hideous). It could attack/distract NPCs/creatures when your health is low, buying you time to recover or reload. A communicator to call in a strike, or location pick-up might have saved Bethesda a bundle on having to creating that rover.

A terrormorph home planet that acts like a sci-fi horror like a Riddick movie. Super volcanoes. Mega tsunami. Meteor showers. Asteroids obliterating planets. Black holes. Electromagnetic storms. Faction patrols. Multiple ship crews. Gambling. Racing.

I have ships with a crew of 8, 9 and 10

How's a dog going to attack in a spacesuit?

in all honesty ladders are more useful in low or zero gravity environments. If someone takes out your artificial gravity ladders are a more effective way to move between levels and a ladder uses less space than a stairway

Why can't we send our ships to send out to mine huge asteroids?

evil companions 100%

They don’t need to, with the creation kit release modders will do it all.

Yes if Crimson fleet, spacers, ecliptic can take abandoned sites why cant we?😊

The human companions already do everything that the pets would yet have way more to them

Simply put real simple I think Vasco should be listed as a pet you should also have mods and quest related to the mods or at least allow us to get one of those dog type robots as a pet

What do you think of the current beta? You can change the amount of credits vendors carry. If you accept less xp vendors has 20.000 more credits I think.

Also the traits is it me or after you get kids stuff you feel like every other trait should have had much more potential and also feel like even if you didn't pick it in the beginning there should be a quest where you should be able to gather it for example a trait that had potential the adoring fan we know it's meant to be a mema but it's obvious that the fan is a star born just by his dialogue just think of the potential there him with his own power set or a special ship that allows him to accompany you in New game Plus

Quantum entanglement is legit and probably how we are going to talk

Wrong choice of words bro, because Dogmeat sucked in combat 1 or 2 dps each bite isn't going to cut it in Starfield

I don't think the economy will ever be perfect, in these types of games something will always be exploitable. Having said that, the best to do is to make it realistic imo, just put prices according to rarity and todays prices, wnd let the players tweak it the way they want.

Considering Bethesda discussed ideas with nasa , this game should have been way more advanced than the nasa punk look , starborn , more advanced yet fly a ship thats utter crap , conpanions following you through the unity but come into ng+ as normal characters , andreja being va'ruun but more than happy to let you kill her people, so many things don't make sense in this game, Todd Howard is no better than a used car salesman, don't get me wrong. It's the game I've waited a lifetime for , but certainly not the direction it should have went, so far into the future yet not really portraying that as much as they should have. Hopefully dlc's and mods will make this game the game it should definitely have been on release . Typical Bethesda, too many planets , too much procedural generation and still stuck in the past with graphics . Howard needs to stand down and let someone who can see the bigger picture.

I am cool with having a pet in Starfield. Even a space station. But those who want kidnapping? Disturbing.....

How about some more interesting environments and better gameplay?
