Apartments should come furnished or with selectable load outs. All of the player housing is empty and useless to me. I don't want to grind resources to build my own furniture.

Same. Id love a reason to spend my mountain of credits and I don't have the free time to decorate my fake house piece by piece. The penthouse was a letdown when I realized how much time it would take to actually make it look decent.

I agree, I was excited to check out my new place, even though I probably was never going to visit again. When I saw it was empty, I assumed it was like in Skyrim where I needed to pay for each room. Then I saw I actually have to build each item.

Even worse, I have to go skill up on outpost building to unlock most of the options. Right now I can only furnish it with bare bones level 1 items that would be completely out of character. So, I left and will probably never return. Someday, when I play it on PC, I will hopefully be able to find a mod to fix this.

This

I chose the perk to have the fancy house with a mortgage, but after going and checking it out it just seemed like an awful lot of work when I’ve been flying a perfectly suitable home around all along.

I love having my ship as my home, but I keep capturing and upgrading ships so I can never arrange things inside like I want and have them stay that way. One advantage of a house/apartment is they stay arranged the same way.

[–] HangingFruit@czech-lemmy.eu 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You can arrange things in your ship??

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah items like plushies and weapons and things you can put where you want them. Drop an item out of your inventory onto a surface and hold down whatever key you use to pick up things.

my plan is make it my characters retirement home. and then leave him there on the last save i use for it

New Atlantis is barely more of a town than the scrappy cowboy outpost. Where are my space cities?? It makes sense for a Skyrim/fantasy village to be small, but when you can ship in infinite food from all across the galaxy with grab drives you have no excuse for a lack of mega cities.

They're using the same engine they've used since Morrowind. It literally cannot handle large numbers of NPCs. Not that I'm excusing them, of course, it's a braindead decisiom on their part.

[–] MusketeerX@lemm.ee 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Totally agree. Wish I hadn't chosen the dream home perk

  1. Because it's empty and I couldn't be bothered mining resources and making stuff

  2. Because that house is in the middle of nowhere

  3. The Vanguard quest gave me a free penthouse in New Atlantis which I like better

But of course that penthouse is also empty and I don't even have the option to make a double bed for some reason (sorry Sarah!)

So I just use my room in constellation as home.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It bothers me - more than it probably should - that none of the Captain's Quarters habs comes with a double bed! Apparently all space captains are Puritans?

[–] Blamemeta@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Its Starfield, so yes.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

You would expect Stroud to have luxury living quarters.

[–] philoneous@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I sleep at my parents place.

I've never liked decoration simulators. If I can build, and change the actual structure to my liking (e.g. fallout 4) I enjoy it, but simply adding plants and couches and paintings that are ultimately meaningless... I just can't.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Same. Like the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy. I loved having the option to customize it how I wanted, and it gets fucking HUGE, but they give you all sorts of different decorative pieces, about a third of which are wall-hangings of some kind.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

100% but purely because the resource outpost system is such fucking trash right now. If outposts got enough love to not be stupid then keeping furnishing resource based would be fine.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

The only positive is that it can draw resources from your ships cargo, but yes it is still stupid. The actual decorations leave a lot to be desired too though.
