Building and upgrading your Starfield ship will naturally be a big part of the next space game from the RPG veterans who created Fallout and Skyrim at Bethesda Games. While we wait for more news, an eager community is combing through every inch of the game we have for potential new information, and it looks like you’ll be able to collect loot directly from destroyed ships after Starfield. space battles.
With Bethesda saying it expects word on Starfield’s release date “very soon” and planning a full standalone showcase of Starfield courtesy of Microsoft, it’s likely we’ll be inundated with new footage to satisfy this interstellar craving. In the meantime, however, eagle-eyed enthusiasts have discovered a very intriguing UI element that can tell us a lot about how space looting can work.
During the Starfield gameplay trailer, a sequence featuring space combat against the ghost ships of the Crimson Fleet, one of the Starfield factions you’ll encounter on your travels, there is a moment where the player explodes, detaches a ship, and immediately it opens. fire on another
Between the explosion, the rapid change of focus, and the overall speed of everything in action, it’s easy to miss, but it pays to stop at the right moment and you’re actually standing on top of the destroyed hull. This seems like pretty clear evidence that you’ll be able to harvest resources from defeated enemy ships.
There are still no clear guidelines on how you will pack things. You might be able to just hit a button as you get closer and cleverly suck everything right into storage on the fly, or maybe you need to park and extract resources directly. Given Bethesda’s history, the obvious method would be to have a floating context menu as you zoom in, allowing you to manually select components, but they may choose a more elegant method than their previous games.
Either way, it’s another testament to the Starfield community’s commitment to scrutinize every last bit of information while they wait for more news. You can see the time between 11:43 and 11:45 in the trailer below, though you’ll probably want to slow down the playback speed or scroll frame-by-frame (this can be done with your keyboard keys) if you want a preview. .
Todd Howard previously described Starfield’s combat as a mix of MechWarrior and FTL, so we can’t wait to get our hands on the final part. If you want to find out more before the demo, we’ve got everything you need to know about the Starfield cities you’ll be visiting and how Starfield base building works.
You’ll also be able to play Starfield on Game Pass, as Xbox boss Phil Spencer said Starfield is “really important” to Microsoft’s subscription service. In the meantime, check out some of the other best open-world games on PC, as well as some of the best RPGs you can play right now.
