One of the Red Fleet quests requires you to leave a planet in a UC Shuttle which only can hold a crew of 2

[odessasteps]

Ah. I have the option to start the crimson fleet storyline but I’m holding off for now.

i got all 8 ? Powers I can get right now. I was doing some surveying. Tried to find the Moon landing spot but ended up spending like a half hour fighting spacers in a deserted science lab. I did learn if you find a wall of ice and rubble, you can blow a hole in it with a grenade. 

i read an article today about some of the potential alternate timelines you can get in NG+ and some were pretty wacky.

You can swap back to your ship soon as you "finish" the mission at The Key, so it's not that bad.  Depending on what your cargo was, you might have an annoyance jumping over to the Key, but it shouldn't be too bad.

It seems like all the Starfield Skill videos I watch all poo poo that Gymnastics skill and to not use any points on it.

The combat slide is actually pretty awesome if you are attacking with a melee weapon or using a shotgun.

My only issue with the skill is that I expected more Zero-G combat situations in this game and there aren't very many. 

I'd like to see the ability to disable an enemy craft's artificial gravity in starship combat in order to have more Zero-G combat scenarios in a future update.

It is still amazing the number of people that haven't figured out that you can laze the pins on some security doors to open them. 

The shit even says "Cuttable Wall" on the front and shows you which pins to split with your Cutter.

Ice walls can also be melted with the cutter

I guess there must be some sort of "catch-up mechanic" for whoever is your last companion because I already have Barrett's "loyalty" mission.

I literally have taken him on two Crimson Fleet missions

[odessasteps]

Is that the story involving his dead husband? It keeps being brought up every so often, but no proper "revenge mission"

Found Apollo Snow Globe. Cleared out a science outpost. Then got some alien samples for Dr Walker.

If you are collecting snow globes, I think I posted a location guide in a previous page in the thread.

Has he been on your crew? Because I don't think your crew members need to be your active companion to like or dislike your actions. At least, when my first character finished the Crimson Fleet questline, the whole damn roster of Constellation had issues with the way she did it.

I only have the London one and now the Apollo one. 

Now, to finally make a bed for my new penthouse.

The big quests definitely go to everyone but it must be retroactive because I didn't get Barrett until after completing things like the entire Vanguard quest line

Mark just out here not caring about spoilers anymore

To be fair, he's been posting spoilers for pages haha that's why I mostly avoided this thread until I beat the game. I don't trust y'all.

[odessasteps]

I was generally trying to be vague. Guess I didn’t succeed all that well. 

[odessasteps]

I like finding random missions I should have done weeks ago, since they are low level baddies and cheap XP.

[RIPPA]

I have starting getting this thing where if I pick up a bounty to eliminate someone in an abandoned mine - when I get there, the moment I enter the mine I get credit for completing the bounty.

So I don't if the person I am supposed to eliminate is killing themselves or what but it makes me life easier

[odessasteps]

I have finally got in the habit of checking all the planets in a system , since im now visiting some new ones, to see which are gas giants, so I can quickly scan them and give the data to Vladimir.

I've had that a couple of times - once on a bounty for a Crimson Fleet pirate, once for an Ecliptic mercenary. Both times the target area was swarming with Spacers, though, not pirates or Ecliptics.

And I'm pretty sure Spacers are coded to be hostile to both the Fleet and Ecliptic. So I suspect what's happening is that the Spacers are killing your target for you. Hey, easy money.

Once again, it does not look like I spent enough time in The Well.   Overheard a conversation between Altagracia and Antonio about a pair of cursed boots and now I'm off to The Den in the Wolf system.  I could have sworn I surveyed a planet for a Constellation bounty in this system before, but I can't remember.

I got that one recently.

[RIPPA]

Again - that was one of the very first things I got but I highly explored The Well on my first visit to New Atlantis

[odessasteps]

In my first playthrough, I ended up there by accident by going through the tunnels from the Lodge. 
 

but in current one, I waited quite a while.

I think I was there long enough to flip junction box switches and nearly get pinched with a suitcase full of "art."

During my first trip to The Well, I did talk to all of the vendors (Kay's daughter is easy on the eyes) and I also chatted up Altgracia at least once along with that asshole that wants to fight you.

If I recall correctly - the very first thing I ended up doing in the Well was helping the dude with the Church of Enlightenment get home from jail

[odessasteps]

I somehow found a mission that I thought I had finished but didn’t since it has multiple parts. Maybe it unlocked after a length of time. I know some of the Akila City missions have a “check back in 24 hours” delays. 
 

did more surveying and researching. I seem to keep running out of adhesive for my weapon upgrades.
