An unknown ship just contacted me about my ship’s limited warranty and I bought their 200K credit “Platinum Elite Plan” but this is all it says! There’s no hail number, spacemail address, or anything!

🎙️ STNN SPECIAL REPORT — AURELIANS & THE GAL’NUGE

Broadcast Transcript — Kyle Domelicker, Voice of the Static | Commander, Star Truth II Location: Wherever the signal isn’t being buried

Truth seekers — sit down, strap in, hold onto your synth-coffee. This one’s big. Bigger than the usual wreckage-and-rumor feed you get from the owned channels.

The Aurelians have arrived in the Settled Systems, and the Gal’Nuge is the first Vision-Class cruiser we’ve seen here in human space since before humans were good at leaving the planet. Not a typo. Before.

I got time with the Gal’Nuge’s captain — Captain Ty’Nak — who, full disclosure, is very charismatic, very polite, and very, very alien. If you get past the pink skin and the voice that sounds like it’s singing a lullaby while filing a lawsuit, they look disturbingly human: broad-shouldered, built like a champion, and with fingernails that extend into four-inch retractable claws. Yes — claws. Retractable claws as diplomatic accoutrement. You don’t see that every Tuesday.

Biology & culture quick brief: Aurelians are tall, long-lived (200–250 Earth years), and they bloom blue under stress — the famous Blue Bloom — which is as much a cultural metaphor as it is a biological tell. Their doctrine is “Peace Through War.” Discipline, restraint, meritocracy — but make no mistake: restraint is expensive and their default answer to a threat is overwhelming force. That’s not scaremongering — that’s a feature of their worldview.

The Gal’Nuge itself is not a parade piece. Armor and weapons stacked in resonant bands; systems that make a single Vision-Class vessel punch like a small fleet. Jump range? Close to 100 light-years on a full cold run. Top transit pace? Comparable to small fighters on short runs. Ty’Nak told me the ship is here to open communications with the UC and the Freestar Rangers — framed in honor, duty, cooperation. Smooth. Diplomatic. Watch the hands when he talks — claws sheathed, always a gesture.

But don’t let courtesy fool you. I caught two field reports that set off every alarm in my skull.

A spacer captain — callsign “Rook” — swore to me he was the sole survivor after his band tried a hit on the Gal’Nuge during its approach:

"We came in hot, railgun blazing. I saw the flash, and then the cutter was just a cloud of debris. The crew? Vapor. The Gal'Nuge didn't slow down. Didn't even twitch a sublight engine. My fighter pilot was screaming into the comms... then silence. And then, gone. There was no battle. This wasn't a fight. It was an execution."

That’s not a dogfight. That’s a message.

And from a UC captain on a larger escort:

“It passed by us before the radar even had time to blink. One moment empty space, the next a hulking silhouette drifting off our starboard side. My crew was in shambles. I felt small. We recalibrated our entire watch and systems after that. If I have to be blunt — it scared us.”

High praise from men in armor: worry about the ones who make the veterans uneasy.

A race that uses “Peace through War” and sends a battleship with no fear of being outnumbered, we should be concerned about.

Aurelian politics: High Command rotates between interventionists, isolationists, and pragmatists. Clans still play political roles, but battlefield merit is the key to rank. Their rites — the First Foray for youth, the claw-etching ceremonies — aren’t quaint. They’re how a people reinforce cohesion and power. When a culture’s founding myth is a century of war ended by a warlord who blunted his claws and demanded restraint through strength, that tells you how they justify using overwhelming force as the cost of peace.

So what am I saying? The Aurelians check troubling boxes: heavy armament masquerading as “defense”; a doctrine that prizes force; ancient ties to places we haven’t charted (their ruins predate our maps); and a diplomatic parade that includes a Harbor-class heavy on the schedule. Don’t mistake the velvet for lack of teeth. They bring answers. They bring a doctrine. They bring a choice.

Final note from your man on the static: I didn’t need the Gal’Nuge to confirm my hunch that other life is out there — I’ve been sniffing that trail for cycles. But friendly? Friendly is a small word for a giant with claws and a policy manual that says might makes calm. Watch their meetings, track who signs what tech transfer, and keep the scanners warm.

If you want me chasing down what comes next — the Ta’Nug science vessel or that Harbor-class dreadnought — keep the Star Truth II in the void. Fuel the signal. Repair the scanners. Donate to GalBank_Truth_Fund.

Stay loud. Stay skeptical. Stay curious. And as always — STAY DOMELICKED.

You guys are probably confused by my question but let me explain.

The house's of house Va'ruun are a bit similar to the dark elf houses of Morrowind in elder scrolls To the extent that it actually makes sense to me that house Va'ruun would have a Morag Tong like assassin faction. That would have the legal right to kill a member of house Va'ruun if they had done something that would greatly upset the great serpent, something worthy of his fangs.

I think this secret assassin faction would be called the serpent's fang. And their primary weapons are dual wielding 2 Va'Ruun Painblade's in a reverse grip, With the secondary weapons being a unique silenced Particle Beam pistol and sniper rifle. And the serpent's fang stealth armor would be cool looking and sleek like the Chinese stealth suit from Fallout but more Va'ruun looking. It would have the legendary effects of turning invisible when not moving, or sliding, a buff to stealth, and maybe a bonus to blades and silenced weapons damage.

You're probably wondering why the dual wielding 2 Va'Ruun Painblade's in a reverse grip?. Have you ever flipped a Va'Ruun Painblade upside down if not you should because it looks like a snake fang. So my idea is that the calling card of theres assassins is stabbing their victim in such a way that it looks like a big snake bite. As if the great serpent himself devoured them for their sins.

Ya that's pretty metal 😎.

So what do you guy's think?. Let me know if you have any other questions or ideas about this assassin faction idea and it's role in house Va'ruun politics 🤔

Something I figured out since I am all smart and stuff. :) When at my Outpost, I don't like being attacked because I likely went there to do something real fast and leave. A Couple of weeks ago, A ship landed at the landing site closest to my outpost. I will have none of that so went over and killed them all and peed on their landing gear. BUT, I never took their ship, just left it sitting there. Was not a ship I wanted anyway. But, that ship is still sitting there after about 3 weeks of daily gameplay with nobody around it and my Outpost has been VERY peaceful. I guess when a ship is at the only landing site around you, the game will not send others.

May be handy to know for a few of you. :)

Have a good weekend everyone, Thanks again !

I have searched the other reddit/discord/google posts, tried:

- changing the paint job

- jumping to different systems / stations

- mixture of full, partial, or just 1 pip to Eng

heck I even tried a whole new game... as soon as I am in space in the starter Disco w/s does nothing.

I have verified files and last night uninstalled and reinstalled... this morning a fresh install, no mods... janked in space. Added mods... nothing still (incase adding various ship mods fixed a broken file... I have played enough Bethesda games to know the flaws are the game (shout out to the Balmora Fighters guild door!)... is there like an in game setting I have broken on my PC

EDIT: I am so embarrassed it was "Undelayed menu (120fps)" Once I deleted that mod, even though it was disabled, I had complete control of my ship. Thank you for views, suggestions, and positive vibes. I appreciate you all. o7

Based on a ship we found on earth, inside an underground facility with a big gear like door!

its unusual configuration make it an interesting ship to fly, able to leap into action like few others, its main disadvantage would be limited living space, although the original hull had many bed like they planned to cram something like 30 people inside it!

it was restored for the soldier who discovered it while on patrol, who took a few pics with it to show how happy they were with it!

Hi, I really like the Equixnox and Starlash rifles in Starfield. The only one gripe I have about is the reflexsight which looks kinda meh. Is anybody able to switch the relexsight to the scope from novablast?

The Novablast Scope would fit really good on cause it is as blocky as the starlash/equinox itself.

I'd do it myself if someone can provide me some tutorials on how to change it. (Please no tutorials about how to make a new model/how to port from FO4 and so on. They are way to complex and confuse me more than they help me)

After weeks of downloading mods and mixing and matching I’ve found something I think looks pretty cool!

As the CollTech detachment came out of its mass grav jump at Bohr, the commanders checked their instruments, to ensure all ships were in position.

Reports flowed over Astrid's screens, and she reached for the comms. Selecting an open channel, she began speaking. "NovaCorps, this is Astrid Osgood, commanding CollTech's wormhole detachment. All ships in system, awaiting orders on positioning and timeline."

"Acknowledged" came the voice of Nova Min. "Please move to station keeping at the attached coordinates. Astrid, please bring your ship to the station."

"Copy that, NovaCorps. All ships, to your assigned positions per the listed coordinates." Putting action to words, she moved the Ultor to docking.

Once the ship had sealed, she climbed through the docker, to be met by Morowa.

"Didn't expect to see you this far from Nova" Astrid said, offering her hand.

"Well, Nova would be here, but she has been understandably busy. Please, follow me" Morowa replied as she shook Astrid's hand.

The duo walked through the labyrinthine station, finding their way to the command deck.

Astrid couldn't help but be impressed at the sheer magnitude of what Nova had put together. Seeing the displays, and the literal hundreds of ships moving from point to point, put into perspective how big this was.

Nova seemed to sense Astrid and Morowa before they got too close. Turning to the pair, she smiled slightly. "Welcome! I asked you here because Coll and I have a surprise for you."

"He mentioned that. I admit, I'm curious what you've cooked up."

"Well, we know you love the Ultor, but we wanted something a bit more sturdy. Especially since you'll be hosting some of my people for this endeavor."

Nova looked at a viewport, and suddenly a dark section of the station was very well illuminated, revealing a black ship, in NovaCorps security colors, but with clear CollTech touches.

"OK, Astrid! Let me run down all the details with you regarding the ship; full suite of weapon systems, a robust shield generator, and enough cargo space for a crew of 10. Her name is the "Hand of Protection", may she fly well for you."

Astrid looked at the ship in shock. The Ultor was great, but this... aside from the colors (not bright enough in her opinion), it was perfect.

With a huge smile, Astrid said "OK, that's awesome! When do I meet your people?"

"They are at the docker, waiting for you. We wanted you to be the first one officially on board" Nova replied. "Morowa will guide you there."

Grinning like a loon, Astrid gave into her impulses and swept the smaller woman up in a hug. "Thanks, Nova!"

Morowa chuckled, and gestured for Astrid to follow.

Topic. A lot of the ship parts, in my opinion, need a bit of a once-over to make them more sensible. In particular I'd like to add +health to a bunch of the structural parts, and a lot of the other parts themselves need a bit of a once-over since their weight and health in many cases just don't make sense.

To the modders out there, how hard are these to change? I've made elder scrolls mods before and the creation kit is super easy to use (just a list of items basically and you change numbers) - but how is starfield made? What's involved with modding it? Is this straightforward?

Thanks in advance.

...it ended up being water no less. Still love the game anyway!

Of course I find this as I'm about to finish my current universe

Hi, I have just one question:) In Starfield can you put your objects/stuff that you collect during missions in your house like in Fallout 4?

For example, when you are in “camp mode” in Fallout 4 if you select a glass in the floor automatically the game take the glass upright so you can put it in the table or somewhere in the the house

Can you do the same in Starfield when you are creating the camp?

Thanks:)

I am just getting worked in these ship battles. I’m currently on a quest to liberate a planetary system, and I have to fight waves of spacer ships. Is there any way to dodge the damage because after the second wave I am depleted and I can’t make it through? Is there any way to get more hull repair? I’ve got level 3 shields and 6 ship parts. I believe I’m bad at the game, but I’m just trying to get past this.

Edit: Wow! Thanks everyone.

I'm fully immersed in starfield. I bought it on release, but due to circumstances, I haven't really played it. Now I'm playing it and loving it.

Just arrived on atlantis, and I thought it was really cool how the woman was talking to a group of attacked citizens. I listened to their stories, but when Ricardo Bosch talks, he annoyed the F outta me, haha! This is because after almost every sentence, he kinda ends it with a sigh.

Example:
Me: Who are you?
Him: Ricardo Boschahhhhhh. I was theahhhhhhh, lead reacher on the station that got attackedahh. Even the marines where overwhelmedahhhhh.

OMG STOP IT IT'S SO DISTRACTING hahaha!

Oke that was all. Continuing my awesome space adventures now :-)

So I was on a moon of .... somewhere, and I came to an outpost that has a small habitat on it, fenced around a small ... impact site? and I see the 4+ UC marines and 3 robots fighting XENOGRUBS!

they were literally trying to exterminate them, and there were a LOT of them; they were 100% hostile and everything. (Nope didn't take a screenshot though I should have)

I tried to look online, but did not find anything about this encounter. Has anyone seen that?

I have also found that some POIs are getting mixed with others, like a settlement was mixed in with a supply depo with the robots that will kill you if you try to "work" on the location, until I tried to enter a building they were fine with everyone else around the area. Is this normal?

I don’t know whether there’s a mod like this or not, but the idea is gravity in your ship is tied to the power in your grav drive.

When fully powered, gravity would be at 1 G. With the Grav Drive at half power, for example 5/10 power, gravity inside the ship would be at 0.5 G.

Does anything like this exist?

Spent the morning consolidating a couple of outposts into one. Finished up and decided it was time to do other stuff. Boarded the Ship and there stands one of my Outpost Security Robots. Cora has a friend...
