That sucks.
Since I got the ship capture thing working again, my only mission in Starfield life is making new ships. Period. Everything I do builds toward that goal. All I do is this:
1. Fly pirate destroy missions, either killing or capturing ships.
2. I pick one to set aside for a Class C upgrade, and sell the rest.
3. I do random raid quests to gather shit to sell.
4. I spend days in New Atlantis selling my shit.
5. Occasionally I'll add shit to an outpost that I visit to get a new mission, go on the odd EXP-farming safari, hire a new follower for an outpost, or tweak an existing ship, just because I can.
6. When I amass around 700K credits, I build the new ship, each one different than the last.
7. Then I start all over again.
That's it.
I don't give a crap about the main quest or the jump-through-hoops side quests. Sergeant Yumi has a better chance of finding a space unicorn than ever seeing me again, regardless of how many New Atlantis flatfoots tell me that he's looking for me. I ignore my space wife when she tries to give my a ****ing aromatic space leaf; she exists only for fire support and EXP bonus ****s, although I do flirt with her occasionally. I have long since maxed out my piloting skills, so I banished that nasty creep Barrett to a distant outpost that I don't ever visit. I would do the same with that weepy redneck douche Coe, but even if I send him away his ****ing brat stays on my ship forever, so there's no point to it.
I've gotten pretty good at avoiding game bugs. The main thing is quick saving prior to boarding a ship in case the game wigs out; I've noticed that the bulbous-looking Taiyo based ships tend to have the most issues. After capturing one recently I noticed that my ship inventory had blipped out, so I went back to quicksave, transferred all 8,000 pounds of shit to myself, then put it back into my homeship with no further issues. **** you, Bethesda.
I guess I'll keep doing this until I finally get bored with it, but I'm not there yet. This is the Constitution, the coolest ship I've created so far.
