One of many many underwhelming issues about Starfield is that its model of house journey boils down watching cutscenes to transition to house/floor or to journey between planets. It is mainly a set of loading screens that by no means cease reminding you that you just’re loading between totally different ranges, and never truly travelling in house.
So, in fact, there is a Starfield mod to repair that, although it is not fairly what you would possibly count on.
Modder 105gun is reponsible for the clunkily-named Slower Than Gentle – Fly in a Star System, accessible to obtain proper now on Nexus Mods. The mod does two issues.
First, it makes it potential to manage the velocity levels of your ship utilizing hotkeys. Whereas Starfield actually permits you to management your ship’s velocity, you possibly can’t transcend customary flight velocity and leap into mild velocity. By having the ability to attain warp velocity, the mod makes it potential journey inside a star system – with out hitting a loading display screen or cutscene.
You may be travelling at “a whole bunch of instances” the velocity of sunshine, but it surely’s nonetheless going to take you some time to achieve different planets. Whereas you can decelerate your velocity significantly to account for the difficulty of planets not loading rapidly sufficient – an issue individuals who tried doing that with out the mod bumped into – the mod’s creator admits the implementation is “crude” proper now.
Because it stands, the mod solely works if you journey to different planets throughout the similar star system. You can also’t land on planet surfaces, as that is merely not a characteristic Starfield has. That stated, the creator is banking on the upcoming launch of Bethesda’s Creation Package – successfully official mod instruments – to assist them higher implement the mod into the sport.
The video beneath exhibits it off fairly properly – together with a couple of of the bugs – however the ship they’re flying could possibly be thought-about A SPOILER. So do not proceed if you happen to’re delicate about that.
If you are going to obtain the mod, 105gun recommends backing up your save file earlier than putting in it, as a result of it messes with ship speeds and different parameters. We would advocate doing that earlier than putting in any mod, however not all of them are that drastic.
We now have a an entire checklist of the most effective Starfield mods that we proceed to replace every time we come throughout any stable new additions.
Thanks, PC Gamer.
