Modder Gives Starfield No Load Screen Takeoffs Three Years Later

Starfield is an ambitious game. It takes the usual Bethesda RPG programs we’ve come to know and love and plasters them throughout distant star programs and hundreds of procedurally generated planets. It doesn’t fairly coalesce into the studio’s greatest recreation ever, nevertheless it creates the circumstances for some fairly cool, fairly immersive exploration. Aside from the loading screens, of which there are a ton. Together with everytime you take off from a planet’s floor. Till now.

Because of a brand new mod practically three years after the sport was launched, there’s an choice for seamless takeoff within the PC model of the sport. The very self-explanatorily-labeled “Seamless Planet Takeoffs SFSE (Beta)” mod by 0xBobby makes it so there’s no digicam minimize while you go to orbit. Your ship simply goes up by the clouds, leaves the environment, and finally seems in orbit across the planet.

“This mod goals to take away the loading display when taking off from a planet, and spawns your ship above the touchdown web site for a seamless expertise,” writes 0xBobby. “The mod is at the moment in beta, so count on bugs. The seamlessness of the transition will depend upon the environment and climate of the planet, I’m engaged on making the transition even smoother.”

Since Starfield launched, one of many greatest requests from some gamers has been the power to take off from a planet and fly seamlessly into area and not using a loading display.

This primarily brings Starfield in keeping with space sims like No Man’s Sky that allow you to discover the galaxy to your coronary heart’s content material with out being pressured to look at a bar load on the backside of some idea artwork. Seamless takeoffs are all effectively and good, however what about seamless landings? Don’t maintain your breath.

“Since lots of people have requested, I’ll share my ideas on seamless landings right here,” 0xBobby continued. “It most likely gained’t ever occur, at the very least not from me. Sure, I do know of the entire tips I might use, hiding the loading by clouds or entry flames and many others, however even that might be far more complicated than what this mod or seamless grav jumps do. Plus they don’t actually attraction to me, if I would like seamless landings, I would like the complete factor, No Man’s Sky-style. I could try that, however the possibilities of it occurring are just about 0.”

Modders aren’t the one ones persevering with to toil away on neat new options for Starfield. Bethesda recently confirmed it would proceed engaged on new story content material for the sport to be launched someday throughout 2027. Within the meantime, the studio may also proceed so as to add paid “Creation Membership” mods to the sport for gamers on PC and console to take a look at.
