I would need to load an older save for the Rev-8, but so far it feels OK on my end on 60fps target in the opening areas of the game. I did get a bit of a freeze or slow down in higher npc count areas before, but happens even on 30fps.
Gotcha, yeah this is something different. Good to know its not widespread tho.

Starts at the Starfield portion of todayās livestream. Nothing particularly exciting. Not sure if Tim Lamb was just nervous, or trying his damnedest to not blurt out spoilers, or what, but he was a bit tongue tied and didnāt really say much that we didnāt already know.
Still, Iām keen to get every piece of Starfield news I can, so figured Iād throw up the link.

Trying out the mod Better Crowd Citizens, and at first(for like 2 minutes) I thought everything was looking pretty good until I started to notice that some of the faces that would randomly be added to NPC were completely off from their bodies.
If this mod had a way to select head/faces depending on the body type it wouldnāt be so off putting.
Another mod I added, PsiSoldierās Martial Arts Madness adds several new unarmed skills to the skill tree which help boost unarmed damage. From the little I explored, because this mod doesnāt rearrange the skill boxes in physical or add itās own.
All the skills are crowded in one roll and several of them donāt seem selectable. I would have to have a spare skill point to try, but as it stands having itās own skill tree/box would have been better.

Fairly spoilery about the setup / some mechanical changes and additions, but cool reading:
Itās wild how fast these people work

Hopefully they didnāt recreate the feel/controls of the worthog

It makes me wonder if Bethesda had let modders know about Rev-8 and allow them early access.

Possible but modders also do work extremely fast
Plus people have been working with creation kit for years so experience goes a long way

Probably, but I just figured the model used for the worthog would be different enough to accommodate the jets on the back and bottom of the Rev-8. So getting early access to make sure it works would be ideal.
Itās pretty cool, but for me itās just another Star Wars mod to ignore.
Not a fan of SW?
I am, but for whatever reason Iām just indifferent to it in Starfield. But Iām glad they exist for people to use them.

Sounds like Shattered Space will have some new mechanics in addition to just being a story expansion.
Weāve also introduced new ship customization options, which allow players to really tailor their vessels to their playstyle. And on the exploration front ,there are new tools and gadgets that will help players interact with the environment in deeper, more meaningful ways.
As someone who loves the ship builder, this is very welcome. Crossing my fingers that blueprints will be one of the changes. Would also love a way to instantly switch to interior views, to see how our modular changes will impact that experience without having to save the work and enter the ship.

Or Forward boosting jetpack. Plasma blade to stealthily cut through the hatches. Bait to attract fauna for scanning and exp.
I shouldnāt be getting excited, since itās probably be something less exciting than that.
