Starfields Land Vehicle Update! How Will It Work?

Vehicles will make it a lot less tedious to do those missions where you track down an employee who quit and decided that squatting in a cave on an uninhabited planet is a better life than having a paid job with food and shelter.

Just remember that Skyrim almost didnt have horses in the game. And horse combat was eventually put in with the Dawnguard dlc.

If it isnt a replica of the ship builder but for ground vehicles then its a massive missed opportunity.

Land vehicles could be a big tipping point for the game's public perception, but Bethesda needs to get it right. A lazy implementation will do more harm than good and could just give people something else to laugh at.

I hope it is an added ship component, separate from the landing bay, like it's own garage, and enterable from within any habs next to it. Yeah, it'll throw off whatever your CURRENT ship looks like, but that's kind of the charm to me, you can decide to have one or not... I would be kind of disappointed if it just spawns next to your landing bay on planets

I would like streamline hover bikes, some planets have heavy forests. Starfield gets better & better

I think land vehicles will be very handy on empty planets and moons because right now, running on these planets can be very tedious. But with land vehicles, it will make traveling empty worlds not as slow.

Hopefully they add some utility to vehicles like mining and resource scanners, personally to move from POI to POI I don't think the distances require a vehicle, but for finding a good spot to place an outpost it would be perfect, and for that it needs an outpost resource scanner.

It'll be a module you add to your ship.

Did anyone else notice that in the video clip of the vehicle, Vasco was hanging off the back? Looks like companions will jump in with you going off of that. Personally, I think a new vehicle bay would be the way to go. Every manufacture will have a vehicle bay that you can mount on your ship. It's more realistic and immersive that way. I would like to see multiple land vehicles with different designs and specs. It'd be nice to upgrade them or even build them like the ships. Also being able to see NPCs driving around in their own vehicles would be cool.

Isn't that VASCO riding on the back of that vehicle they showed? Looks like our companions ride with us.

Maybe it’ll be an addition to the ship builder, like how the modules in the equipment tab. Would be cool if we can have a robotics bay/workbench that allows us to customize Vasco or build a robot our selves.

Glad to see you back brother. Hope you are doing well.

We'll have one vehicle, it may be customizable. It will live in the landing bay near vasco. Starvival's author will implement the fuel mechanic as a starvival addon.

This is a good new thing because bethesda have never added drivable vehicles in their games before. I hope they add space exo suits.

A floating vehicle would be a Starborn vehicle the Creator technology defies gravity so that would be your floating speeder. Getting a Starborn vehicle with the NG+ would be good idea.

I do really hope they make the different gravities work differently with Different speed and how long you stay up in the air with the vehicles.

But having special landing bays is more immersive

Would be nice if they would do some sea vehicles to go under water and sea creatures.

Great vid I think whenever you land on a planet, the vehicle will spawn outside, just like how Vasco spawns outside your ship.

Damn, forgot something else. Land vehicles will be very useful. In the factory game Satisfactory, thee playable area is just slightly smaller than the land areas on Starfield planets. As soon as I unlock it I use the Explorer(dune buggy) everywhere I travel on the map. Walking/running takes too long to go from one side of the map to the other.

Rly hope this is in the July Update

Raised some really good questions here. I’m excited for what it means for cities when it comes to modding. All the current locations are walkable but with vehicles, maybe molders can expand the area. Lots of potential for stuff!

I almost guarantee it will be a garage/pad that you can make at your outposts. If its a new planet, you will have to make an outpost just to drive it. I really don't see them adding a landing bay on ships...

Honestly I would like it to be a ship module because I can’t see a light fighter ship have a vehicle. I can easily rework one of my ships to have bay. There are caveats for this, the bay also gives cargo and has landing thrust included with it.

i can wait for overhauls and have landspeeders and hovers from Star Wars

Bruh if I cant make an 18 Wheeler rover I'm writing a STRONGLY worded letter to Bethesda. If I'm a space trucker I wanna truck IN SPACE gat dammit!

Would you want vehicles in Fallout 5?

I really hope vehicles are not implemented the way you want it. It feels more realistic to have a vehicle bay were the vehicle is stored in, were you get in the vehicle and drive out of the bay onto the planet.

Don’t care about mounts. I’m old school. I like walking and using my jet pack. Not boring to me.

Vasco can be the vehicle, or at least the assistant of it, wirelessly, so he doesnt have to get inside. Could be neat, also I hope there is a special garage unit for parking in, just popping out seems odd.

We need them indeed

I think the vehicle’s will probably be similar to the ones from rage 1 and 2 in the way they are designed and perform

Well they did manage to get a two man space buggy into the landing platform of the Apollo landing modual. So it should be do able. To my mind there are two ways to go, small vehicles that do fit in the landing bays for small fighter ships and bigger custom bays for your bigger craft. I'm ok with redesigning a ship around this consept, its all about adapt and evolve. new tech brings new possibilities. Another ossibility would be a vehecle building hab for outpost giving the option to buy from the ship builder tech or build your own at your base. Either way looking forward to thenew update. Nice vad Light see ya later.

Will I finally have a reason not to wear the Ring of Swiftness?

The " travel to unknown" mod let's you travel to anything on your scanner. Now if I want, I can walk around and survey or hunt. If not, I can just fast travel to where I want to go. It really takes a lot of the boredom and frustrations of Starfield.

Could be a collapsible vehicle like the Apollo Lunar rover, which would fit in the "NASA punk" aesthetic. The Apollo rover could fold up really small, so if they follow a similar approach, it could stick to the side of the the landing bay (or even in a box on the front). But personally, I hope they make you buy one in-game and find a spot you like in the ship builder, especially if it needs a whole bay.

I think it’ll be new landing bay which will act as both a vehicle bay and standard bay in one

First time viewers are like "Dude, what is this amazing looking Star Wars game?" Land vehicles could be like the Lunar Rover was. It folded up into a small size that fit on the side of the Lunar Lander. You could buy it as a ship upgrade. Just stick it to the underside of the ship or wherever on the ship. When you land the vehicle unfolds and is ready to drive. Take off it automatically folds up and reattaches to the ship. No need for new landing bays.

Another thought; what if the land vehicles don’t even ‘belong’ to your character. And instead, maybe they’re just a piece of equipment that you ‘may’ find - not on every plant - but just some planets and you can hop in and use it? For me, that would suck too. But. It would do away with the problem of your ship is expected to transport it.

It will be an extra bay for your ship that holds the vehicle and will lower a ramp for it. Likely just an optional attachment for ships. Just a guess. But it's the only thing that makes sense.

I think it would be cool if it a hub u can add to u ship like a new landing bay or something it be really cool if u could see it on border ur ship

Giving us access to land based transit, I wonder if they change the map characteristics to increase the “chunk” of the planet loaded for you to explore. I have ran to the limits, and while it was painfully slow, it wasn’t as far away as most would think. Minutes, not hours. You might get around so quickly in a rover that you hit the borders quickly and might get a little bothered by it.

Im pretty sure companions ride with us because in that clip they showed us vasco is in the back and you can kinda see someone in the passenger seat

There should be 2 different chassis for a rover like a motorcycle type and a 4 seat vehicle type. Motorcycle/speedsters for smaller ships and rovers for larger ships. Also spacers and the crimsons can have their own rovers you can steal and register to sell. What I want to see is a DLC to travel and help broke down starships or go find missing starships. Have an ability to tow them back to a space station. Maybe even set ups where we get ambushed by spacers or a mission where it turns star field in to a horror game. Like entering a ship that’s been missing for a few months but looks like it’s been gone for years or decades as if they entered another dimension then came back. Finding logs of the crew on board piecing together just what happened. Then fighting some crew members that are infected by the unknown alien virus. Have a mission board for it at a kiosk or a portable tablet for emergency calls. Like someone getting attacked or a downed ships SOS on a planet. Having another alliance for all this so when you fly around you have random encounters with the other rescue alliance members.

I unapologetically love Bethesda and, even though they're not perfect, a lot of times they get undeserved hate. However I think land vehicles are a must in these kind of game and no matter what they say about lore and stuff, they should be in pretty much every game they have released, ESPECIALLY Starfield

if you watch the rover clip, you can see vasco on the back of the rover, looks like he has his own little spot to latch on.

I hope the vehicle does NOT spawn outside ship. You should have to drive it off and drive it back on. It should work with maybe one of the existing landing bays (is it the hopetech one??), and then they should add a few new landing bays that can accommodate it. It should require fuel to drive and you can run out of fuel. Prepare prepare. You should have to navigate around rocks, but it should have thrusters like the SRVs in Elite Dangerous

Maybe every landing bay will have a different vehicle that fits into the bay? Or it's just like a cargo container

it will be cool if they add a constructor for a ground vehicle, we can build a house on wheels, design any car at our discretion

Bethesda needs to add orbital aliens to the game. Adding aliens that are only susceptible to spacecraft weapons would help bring life to the empty void of space. These aliens are more dangerous but are only space bound enemies. They could even introduce legendary space aliens in the game . It would give the player another class of enemy to fight. I would give them ranged attacks and melee dmg attacks . Then legendary aliens can use em damage

I just got the game a couple weeks ago, and I'm already loving the game, but yeah, I would LOVE to have something like an SRV Scarab or SRV Scorpion from Elite.

I'm new to Starfield maybe a month now. I know this game has way more potential. I need online play to link up with other Space Cowboys/ Cowgirls and Space Rebel's. No Space pirate here. True space fighting more flying just in orbit in the planet as well high altitude flying being able to orbit in the planet and leave the ship with a smaller ship or pod. Like to see my ship land on any planet not land and place avatar out of ship with no spacesuit on. In fact the game did not always do that???

Vehicles we can build like our ships. It would be cool if they just added a land vehicle bay to your ship and a garage for outpost. Then steal other lad vehicles or buy them at garages

Purchase ships with vehicle bay or modify your ship to accommodate your vehicle and water vehicle would be nice also.

Maybe Vacco can turn into a vehicle like transformer😮

Nice vid light. I really want to see this vehicle update really be explored with maybe weaponized vehicles and enemy vehicles and maybe races too. I also want to see this idea being used in the Fallout games. I made a vid discussing my ideas for Fallout 5 and I would really want to know you’re own thoughts on that too

Interesting , Thank You.

i really wonder how it works with different gravitation on planets ? a vehicle makes only sense on some planets but on one with low gravitation the next slope catapults you in Space .

If you look closely at the rover that the dev was testing you can see Vasco in the back.

They should add more performance settings. I seen there was mods for it but I’m going for 100% achievements.

It would be nice to have a Vehicle Bay - but that unloads automatically on landing. Perhaps customizable and combat able!

I cant wait to get a halo warthog mod also an they need to do this, if you want you can have the option for a vehicle bay but if you don't you can have the option for it to just be outside the ship

Oppressor mark 2 in this game would be perfect

Sound great, I just hope they set it up so when I do get my ride, I can go to Tosche Station to waste time with my friends. :D

When they drop the vehicle update, whining gamer brats who didn't understand the game in the first place, will still review bomb. If you upgrade your charcter in a certain way and use amp or frostwolf... You can move as fast as any vehicle. Not to mention that half of these planets will be difficult if not impossible to traverse with a vehicle.

Bugs will be abundant. I imagine the vehicle will get trapped in the terrain, requiring a load.

I want a vehicle bay it will be more immersive and it could come with a workshop to modify onboard than go to mechanic if it can be customised

Think about it they will have to add new ship building components to be able to carry a land vehicle

We gonna create Pz. 1000 with this one 💀

I wouldn't be surprised if land vehicles have loading screens.

I'm extremely sceptical of land vehicles working, the Creation engine and physics are as much antithetical as it is to modern frame rates.

Any idea of WHEN they'll do this update??

Even the moon lander had a vehicle bay

Vasco waits in the landing bay of the starter ship, while in flight using the camera to go inside the landing bay to see Them waiting.

These golden grahams do slap tho

On big wheel dirt bike tron type cycle would be awesome

A quad with a trailer could work but even a bicycle with a shopping basket would be better than those overweight walks back to your ship.

I just don't see much point in the vehicles being added to likely get stuck on the terrain. I'm not interested in being able to more quickly investigate the abandoned blah for the fkteeth time. I'd be interested in building a bay to hold it on my ship but don't have much use for the game outside my ship. Modders have improved my ship building experience but haven't had time to make the rest of the game not crap. I do hope you all enjoy whatever they put outside my ship.

Why would it mean you'd have to change the design? You just remove & replace the old bay. Maybe.

Vasco is hanging off the back of the land vehicle in the footage.

I bet it will be slower than your sprinting speed

Somebody do a mod that let's you deflect shots with a lightsaber.

Hopefully this will bring star wars land vehicle mods

it will be like riding dragons in skyrim,a total shitshow,its bethesda

imma mod in Bradley IFVs for Ground Use.

Make it great !!! ,i want to play it 😫

Light

i honestly think they will build a vehicle hab i cant think of anything else?

Does anyone know when this will be added or is it a scrapped feature?

am i the only one who wants a chargen mod for starships?

I want other characters like use them

i can already see that you will have to pay 30 euros for vehicles at bethesda prices

Better question: Why will it work? (channeling my inner guardian of the galaxy, lol)

Tell Bethesda to rename Spacer faction to "Rebel" so we can fight Rebel Scum.

Should’ve already been in the game they’ve had two years

Apollo 11 had a car spawned .. easy!

should have been vanilla launch items. would have received much less hate if you weren't stuck trotting for hours to get anywhere on their 1000+ planets they were so proud of and ended up being empty fishbowls

Vehicular are a waste, most planets have so much shit in the way navigating around obstacles would take longer than boosting everywhere. Mounts make more sense since you can already breed critters and Bethesda already has mounts in other games so the physics are already there and they are easier to maneuver in the game world.
