What do you think Starfield’s biggest update will be?

Tim Lamb hinted at:

🚀 Cruise Mode revamping space travel

🛰️ Major system improvements across all 4 gameplay pillars

📖 A new story DLC in the works

🔧 More Verified Creator content (with Watchtower footage 👀)

Personally, I think Cruise Mode is just the first step — Bethesda wouldn’t tease all 4 gameplay pillars if they didn’t have changes planned for each.

I do hope we can get the space stuff like cruise mode and all that this year as opposed to having to wait until 2026 with the new expansion. I feel like they have gotta have “something” more significant ready for this year even if the next expansion isn’t. Tim specifically mentioning the space stuff does make me somewhat optimistic that its closer than we think since they teased the vehicle in a similar way during year 1.

Hope we see these space improvements/additions this year instead of having to wait for the expansion in 2026 potentially. Really im just hoping we get “something” more substantial this year either way even if the next major expansion was pushed to next year. The space stuff like cruise mode and all that, Tracker’s Alliance missions, etc. Im optimistic since Tim chose to specifically mention the space stuff as something they were working on, so it could be kind of like the vehicle teases from year 1. I do kind of wish they had been able to do the cruise mode and whatever other space stuff sooner since once again NMS is getting all the glory for innovation after the Voyagers update, and so now Starfield doesn’t even have its most groundbreaking system over that game anymore. I know it shouldn’t matter and Bethesda needs to just take as much as time as they need to get it right though.

Show de bola, eu queria só duas coisas, uma é a possibilidade de entrar dentro do planeta com a nave sem scutcene, e a outra é sair da nave no vácuo do espaço com um cabo preso ao traje com uma mecânica de puxar você para perto da nave quando quiser

I like the habs in Starfield. I liked the walls in Fallout too, but I feel like habs make more sense in Starfield. I wish I could build walls inside habs, like you can in subnautica. (And maybe you can and I haven’t unlocked it yet.) But for outposts I really wish the getting resources to the planet to build was less immersive lol just let me build!

What Tim Lamb actually said was, “we’re also adding some new game systems.” Some. Not one for each part of the game. That’s a purely speculative conclusion you’re leaping to, and there’s absolutely no hard data to support it.

I call this out because overhype is one of the reasons the game gets so much hate, and much of the overhype came from exactly this kind of speculation. Other than the cruise mode that was uncovered by datamining, we don’t have any idea what they’re going to add — or to which part of the game — and it’s important to remember that.

With that said, here’s my completely unsubstantiated opinion on the biggest single improvement I’d personally like to see in each area of the game:
— Ground-based exploration: More POIs, and more POI variety in the proc-gen algorithm — and from earlier levels, too.
— Space-based exploration: Cruise mode of course. Fuel mode maybe?? Both toggleable in settings, though, please.
— Shipbuilder: Player-determined ladder and door placement would be HUGE. So huge. We shouldn’t need a mod for this.
— Outposts: Interior walls and doors please!! And more assets in general (showers please, my crew have to take sponge baths).

🤞🤞🤞

Outpost building needs a major overhaul imo. There is absolutely no practical reason to have outposts in the game since launch other than if you just like to build stuff. The only times I have had reason to make an outpost is to stick Heller and Lin somewhere. I even play using the Real Fuel mod and I still can get by purchasing fuel from vendors, fuel canisters from space battles, and finding Helium-3 at certain POI’s planet-side. Fallout 4’s way of having the entire settlement inventory available from the workbench and being able to link those workbenches all together was so much better. If they made it so all your resources pool into one place it would be a huge improvement. But again, why do I need an outpost? To me it’s the most skippable part of the game.

I have a reminder set to check out Starfield on September 5 2030

Considering that we have seen that we are capable to go beyond border limits using console commands, I think at some point we will see a method that will retarget the surrounding tiles when traveling through borders. And with that, a method to call your ship.

Personally, my expectations are minimal. Just give a new storyline with new quests and interesting locations to explore. Give me some new spacesuits and weapons. Empower modders to make their own animations. Well, perhaps give me new parts for ships and construction). I’m looking forward to what they show in the coming weeks))

Outposts: FO76 gets a revamp of the CAMP building system, with relaxed build restrictions, a menu overhaul and optional turning off snapping. I can totally see a similar thing for Starfield. Or, I want to see that for Starfield.

What’s goodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNoZbXzWvps&t=918s

4:14 not hating, but Starfield gets around 4k players daily, last time it surpassed 10k was November 2024, last time it hit 6 digits was in 2023. Still, it’s refreshing to see someone talking about this game from a different angle.

Yep I agree 100%. Sim settlements in Starfield would be amazing. It would be so cool if I visit my outpost and see it be completely different and new NPCs roaming around because my settlers have added to it. I know the rumor is early 2026 for the expansion but I hope we can get a small content update or some big paid mod like watchtower by the end of the year or maybe another trackers alliance mission.

All is good.💪🥳👍
Still got a big back-log of mods… 🤯
Ohoh…”Starfield is dead and ALL the modders are leaving!”🤣

people still boot up this boring loading screen simulator?

I curious about the ship building, because it’s the only reason why I have the game installed.

Would be cool if they expanded LIST to help setup colonies. I love helping building and expanding bases in other games.

Game has huge potential. They really can easily do a NMS come back as long as they support it.

Hahhahahahahhhaa. The death rattle of a dying game.

Dude, i’m just on the section where you’re speculating on outpost development.
You have to be using Miss O Plays’ Buildable Walls & Doors mod, no?

That mod adds so much functionality to both outposts & ship interiors. Night & day difference. Add in a couple of furniture & decoration packs & boom!

This is actually the best analysis I’ve seen from the Tim Lamb video

Renfail just said NMS is getting ship building with fully customisable interiors.

Does that mean starfield will be getting manual take off & landing & planet traversal? 😂

Remember when they said they were working on “new ways to travel”? Everyone thought oh, it’s probably a boost pack that doesn’t need to recharge so you can fly further.
& then we got the (rather awesome!) Rev-8.

Now they’re talking about “more rewarding space travel” & “new systems”.
Based on previous form i’d say there’s cause for great optimism. 👍

he said its like 4 different games, and tbh those 4, apart from shipbuilding does feel a lil disconnected. and im hoping future DLCs will fix that. Starfield has so many systems and ways to play that is nearly finished. a lot of it is 70-90% there and just a lil more work would fix it. like smuggling/drug production, space trucker, space miner, making outposts with people and production. Thieving etc.
i like the game, and can see where it can be when i play it. cause i use quite a bit of mods to fix those systems
i got big hopes for the next DLC, and i hope its pretty sizeable considering how long it has taken them

Space exploration: cruise mode
Planet exploration: underwater
Ship building: door and ladder placement
Outposts: junk scraping and custom habs

Hey…so in a live stream, kinggath said they cooking something for starfield, so that it save, but “sim settlement”style, it seems not so..he said he wish to Do something like it, but starfield works different and to make that work they would need something from bethesda, so maybe in the future, but not upcoming mod …but what ever kinggath creation is cooking, it will be epic❤❤

Starfield’s outpost system SUCKS A**. Space exploration isn’t there at all. And the vanilla land exploration kinda sucks too. THERE IS NOT 4 GAMES IN 1. There’s a half game at best.

I’ve been saying this for a while, but the folks who seemingly have the most to say about Starfield are always the ones who seem to understand it the least.

Can’t wait to see what they’ve been working on over this last year.

Very exciting news!

I do wonder how many people who made “Starfield is dead” videos or comments are going to retract their statements or apologize. I am going out on a whim and say, probably none.

In Tim Lamb We Trust.

Im currently doing a LIST playthrough with mods but we need real mechanics.

All most of us been asking for is an update they were doing something. The silence was only making things worse.

Outposts can easily be double the size, I run mine at 300 instead of vanilla 150, and also eliminate the build object limit, and I have 37 outposts, way more than vanilla allows, all that and I have an olde gpu 980ti with only 6gb vram, so most systems can handle that id bet. They can take cues from the modding scene for what things to add or enable for modders to add, resource/mining/product economy & enhanced outpost/settlement building to tie it together could be a great DLC.

Im with you on the kinggath wish (sim settlements)..what i worry is this was actually recorded BEFORE watchtower was released and BGS has been holding onto the video this long….

Ship building…new parts, capital ships, allow unfinished builds to be saved, share builds.

I’m pretty sure by ‘New Systems’ he meant new hardware platforms.. ie Nintendo and Sony hardware.

I want settlers for our outposts and more crew member slots for our ships. Empty outposts and ships make for a lonely and boring game.

It’s more likely that the Starfield DLC will be released in spring 2026 than GTA6. GTA has a major problem considering what is going on with Steam and their payment processors VISA and MasterCard. As it is looking today GTA6 will be considered NSFW and can therefore not be sold on Steam. As long as this situation is not resolved with VISA, MasterCard and PayPal, there will be no GTA6 or only a heavily censored version. So it is unlikely that the game will be released in 2026, if it will ever be released at all.
Starfield has so far not been affected by these new censorship rules, so the DLC wouldn’t have to fear any competition during the first half of 2026.

I think it will be 2026,. Why,?. Because it’s looking like it could be coming to Sony PS5 platform in spring 2026 and that will take a lot of development to be ready. This is huge imo.

Like and comment for the algorithm! Great video! I enjoyed your breakdown and brainstorming as Bethesda is light on details about Starfield’s future besides confirming that it has one as this announcement is much more of a tease for things to come.

This is all i needed to hear, not just some vague tweet but actual details. Sounds good to me

What a fantastic video bro thank you for this. I want ship parts 😂 that list faction quest sounds like it should be a real thing. Thanks again

Thanks for the information. I’m happy to hear that things are still coming I absolutely love Starfield it’s one of my favorite games and I love Sci-Fi Games.

Cant wait to see what they got in store next for Starfield!
