My latest end to the Vanguard line had me thinking about how screwed the UC would be if I did this. Just imagine. You get access to the amnesty archives. Say you won't screw with anything, you're only there for limited terrormorph data. And then...not only does it come out the UC is heavily involved in these attacks but you used a MECH to kill the terrormorph?

My soldier would definitely hang. They'd accuse him of somehow getting mech data from the Archives for SURE.

So I've been doing my first playthrough with Flashy(JoeR)s excellent "Spaceships Plus" mod. This thing is so fun. It does a whole heap of things that make the game more fun to play ship wise, but the general wear and tear is wonderful. I am running with my tried and true UC Marine Captain, Captain Elias "Hawk" Hawthorne and he is training new recruits Simeon Bankowski - who is a suspiciously good shot in combat even for a weapons tester? - and Muria Siarkiewicz up to be the baddest special forces squad in the whole settled systems!

Muria's taken to training very well. Her reactions to training run the gamut from not giving a damn to not giving a shit!

So we're in orbit trying to track down a bounty and we get jumped by Ecliptic. The team assumes battlestations, we give them a good fight but our grav drive is damaged. All we can do is land on the nearest planet and hope to find more parts. So we land. Our intrepid Captain scans for any nearby areas. Okay. We have an occupied cave nearby. Let's go check that out. We're getting life sign.

We get there and what do they run into? A Cloaked Terrormorph. But "Hawk" see the shimmer. The glow against the snowy surface of the world and he opens fire. But the Terrormorph doesn't drop....instead suddenly there are FOUR of them?! What? How can there be four? How can he be hearing those awful voices inside his head? The next few minutes are a wild gunfight. The terrormorph teleports around, some of them randomly blink out of existence, its DISGUSTING taunting will not stop. But finally the creature drops.

(All this courtesy of the Terrifying Terrormorphs creation, I think)

Muria plays it off with a joke about how she's not going to talk too much to us. She's not like out other companions. But she's clearly shook under the facade. We empty the cave. It WAS occupied, but now there's nothing there but the xenogrubs and a dead miner. A possible victim of the morphs? We may never know. We retrieve the broken grav drive parts and return them to our ship, thrilled to leave this world behind....but knowing that new terrormorphs could be anywhere.

If only we knew the source...

A few shots of my character in special moments. Weird places. God I love this game. It really does inspire some very real feelings in me, some times when I'm just astonished at the stories we get to create and the worlds we get to inhabit. I particularly like the space walk with me in a gunfight with my own custom built ship in the background. A video game allowing that would have been UNFATHOMABLE to me as a kid.

Sorry all, nothing high quality here. I just wanted to gush. Starfield is really special to me.

HE'S SO UGLY.

I love it so much. What a stupid looking creature.

Oh man I LOVE THIS GAME.

Just a little random gameplay at a new POI added called "Ship Stop." Looks like a garage taken over by those Crimson Fleet jerks. Love the verticality of the space. Before this, there was a giant gunfight out in a snowy field just outside it where it took me and my crew quite a while to take all these dudes down. Thought I'd share me randomly jetpacking and shooting dudes.
