Starfield Play Journal #6 - Just Like the Space-Olden Space-Days
Another Starfield update, because I'm still playing. I had to deal with a colony ship that left Earth before the whole FTL thing came about. I ended up giving them FTL because the other two options were literally murder and slavery. Some quest there. After I left they apparently decided to jump into a deadly-sounding system so good luck there. At least I used physics to swipe a few antique items that they didn't reward me with just for the hell of it.
On the way to finishing that quest, I encountered a group of space farmers spread across a system dealing with space raiders because that's just a problem everywhere. Usual space combat messes to clean up before hitting their base and realizing just how much the gun I got from the meat processing plant rips through people. Got a ton of loot from it at least. So much so that I had to figure out how to make an outpost just to use up some of the resources taking up cargo space, and that only used a handful. I also stopped by the cowboy planet again to take on another Ashta-slaying quest. The beasts may be bigger but I can still take them down fairly easily.
Then, since I was in the area, I decided to take advantage of this being a Bethesda game in the launch window and steal shop inventories from puddles, since after all this time they're still just shoving store inventory chests in the floor, and someone forgot to push them a little further down. I should be pretty good on ship parts and ammo for a while at least.
