fun fact the valentine is actually voiced by nathan evans known for sea shanty singing and uprise popularity with the song wellerman

Oh my god that lemonade encounter is adorable! 😊

I've got the Star Parcel Express mission multiple times, and so far, IIRC, I've had to deliver to Akila, Jemison, Neon & Cydonia. Also, there is unique dialogue if you picked the "Raised Universal" trait when you meet the Sanctum Universal pilgrims, and when they find out you're a fellow believer, they will give you a random food item. Finally, I love running into the Valentine, and so far, in the 4 or so times I've run across him, he's sung 3 different songs. I gotta say, though, that the random space encounters really are delightful when I'm out & about surveying random systems for potential outpost locations.

Every time I find Mrs. Whitmore It's early and I never have the ship parts. I only managed to find her later one time and FINALLY helped the poor lady. Felt good.

That Starparcel Freighter asked me to deliver a package to Neon When i arrived, the Ship Services Technician had fallen off of Neon and into the ocean :/

I swear there’s this one where it’s like an ancient ship who thinks your an alien and the crew is just out of time or something. Idk what it is

Aw man, you getting a sponsor make me so happy! Go ox!

It's funny, because I used the Star Parcel to track down the ship technician for New Atlantis after my space port glitched. I literally found him and a handful of NPCs about 2k outside the city in the middle of the forest 💀 Not even 100 hours into my first run and Im getting alot of bugs involving NPCs and spaceports.

By oxhorn videos this game seems to be so cool, I enjoyed fallout 4 a lot... I don't know why there's so many people hating on the game, maybe is really a trend nowadays to hate on everything...

Regarding Faraday’s Budget Tours, it seems that if one of the Constellation companions is your active follower while you get that encounter, they may tease you just before you answer the last question (the one about “l’amor”). Or at least Sarah Morgan does, as she was following the player both times I’ve seen it happen (my own playthrough and that of a streamer)

Hey Ox! What do you think about TheEpicNate is getting sponsored by Bethesda? The money is surely nice, but do you see issues with his independence?

For a second I thought he was saying they sold you piss lol

17:46 There are no new options if married to a companion, but you do hear them saying that they are very interested in your answer. Or was it at 18:33? I can't remember now.

So it’s against company policy for non employees to board a Star Parcel ship but they can hand parcel over with no problem? Sounds like a trap.

I got the mule but my game seems to become bugged afterwards as I no longer get random encounters.

Probably my favorite random encounter series, and one Oxhorn can't get on his current livestream run involves the Starseed quest. At the end of it, if you resolve it in such a way that Genghis Khan gets to leave the Crucible, you keep having escalating encounters with him. The first time you run into him he's in a damaged (and unarmed) Pik-Up Cargo ship. Where he mentioned having just defeated 3 Spacers in battle by ramming them and startling them with his batshit crazy. The second time he's in an armed ship and actively taking on Crimson Fleet. The third time he's in a bigger armed ship taking on a FC Squadron... With some rather fun conversations that come with each of them as he just grows more powerful and to bigger exploits each time you encounter him.

"We've been trying to contact you about your ship's extended warranty..." I shot them down 😂

The "Lemonade"stand in space is ridiculously holsome .

they should have made an actual in game lemonade just for that encounter

So, the Vanguard pilot who's in training has a special interaction if you have Vanguard Moara in your crew. He tells you to ask the pilot for a 'Long Weight' for your ship, then when the pilot jumps away he laughs about how it's a ritual hazing and the pilot is in for a 'long wait' at UC Surplus 🤣

Valentine is such a great encounter.

I stumbled upon the Valentine 3 times, 3 different songs, but the first one is still my favorite.

After seeing him numerous times I finally killed Valentine, only to encounter him again some hours later in a different system. Very suspicious.

this was entertaining. People wonder why Bethesda has a following. It's because they build a world that cannot be explored by an individual. It's a community event to see all there is to see. You and Nate are my top 2 for lore and secrets.

Did I heard a sea shanty?

19:33 It's a space shanty! I love it!

I can't wait to run into the valentine in my game, that brought a huge smile to my face!

I remember when Oxhorn did random encounters videos on Fallout, even classic ones, they had like hundreds of thousands views. And now Starfield. 16k views in 3 weeks. Why the hell Oxhorn is still covering that game?

The Valentine is probably my favorite random encounter.

I have recommendation on fallot 4 mod its on the Bethesda app and it's called Subversion: The Institute-Railroad Aliance Alternate Ending

Mrs. Whitmore's a scam - if you say you're Crimson Fleet, she panics, then jumps away, her ship miraculously fixed. I bet those aren't actually her kids.

19:38 Goodness, his voice gave me chills and moved me to tears. Bravo! 🌹⚘️🌷

My star parcels have all been to Neon. I have had 2 so far and I'm at lvl 40

Thank you so much for making these vids. I have a medical condition and something about your vids helps me forget anything sad I’m going through. Sincerest thanks.

Are you jack black @Oxhorn

16:55 you had a special special encounter! What’s up with that smaller ship creeping around??? 🤣🤣🤣

😒 sorry but my application for "the hub" arrived today..so I may have to unsubscribe in order to protect your channels reputation(I'm being serious).

Found the Indian geologist yet? I've met her 3 times but never heard the end of her joke. The Valentine's song was ruined for me by Bethesda's trash engine's dialogue interval issues.

Still can't believe Bethesda got Nathan Evans, the singer of Wellerman sea shanty, to sing some in this game

I wonder what happens if you tell that school teacher that you’re with the Crimson Fleet?

With the Valentine encounter if Im not confusing everything, isn't the East India Trading Company in Skyrim? Maybe Im nuts.

Hey Oxhorn, I know you were complaining about storage issues for making lore vids. Have you looked into personal server hub towers. They're assenchually data storage units linked to your personal network only and hold nothing but hard drives and the necessary components to link and quickly send/process data back and forth. I had a couple back in the day when I worked on cad projects with my Dad They hold 6-8 hard drives each depending on the size your looking for. For what you do you probably need to up your setup for these data space eating games. Leave save game play files on the main PC and transfer recorded game play footage to the storage towers to prevent your current issues.

Ms Whitmore asked me for 10 but it only took 3

I've encountered the extended ship warranty guy so many times I've been able to experience every option. Tried to kill him but he grav jumped mid fight. Actually impressive considering he's the only person to ever do that in my hours.

Wasn't interested in Surfshark or any VPN, But then OX says "Early Access" ... I'm sold !

Is it me or the free star mule sounds like neebs

When I did the Star Parcel quest, I was arrested by the UC SysDef and that started the Crimson fleet quest.

But where is the rest of the fallout endings?

the most fun I stumbled upon was the Party Boat

is that...a SPACE SHANTY?

they belive in God? not quite ST lol

I got Black Flag vibes at 20:00.

Sounds like Currie

that singing was great

Where is part 2?

Each time I've encountered Ms. Whitmore, she's asked for 10 parts. But I always meet her very early on, so I've never been able to donate parts

My 2 unforgettable ones are old lady that invites us for a lunch and 5th grade that joked us about black hole before running away on a jump.

The valentine is one of the best 😂😂😂

I do like games with good and interesting random encounters as it makes the game world or galaxy more lived in.

All the space encounters feel like a rushed feature, would've been way better if you could dock the ships or have some kind of video call with them but it's just dialogue, not even an animation or anything related to transfering items / rewards.

That shanty singer was great

fyi i am with surf shark its amazing specially when you travel .....thank you, love your videos always a class chanel thankyou Ochorn .....

I've never gotten the lemonade one, but I've gotten Grandma and Valentine multiple times. I love the Valentine one.

The Star Parcel deliveries are randomized, and repeat. I've had quite a number of urgent deliveries across 2 playthroughs, now headed to Cydonia, Titan, Akila City, Neon, and New Atlantis. Might've even had one to the Clinic, can't swear to that.

A warning for the Star Parcel delivery : If you get Neon as the destination, the Ship Services Technician can be unreachable as he spawns in the ocean for some people..... I've had an "urgent" parcel stuck in my inventory for a good few in-game weeks now

Nothing like singing a sea shanty acapella over the telephone. You would think that they would have musical instruments in space, where is the space Bard's Guild?

Thanks for this, Ox! I'll be watching for further random encounter videos!

just saying if you want a really good cheap strong c class ship get the valintine it shreads everything with insane health and over 2500 base cargo

I'm gonna be playing sea shantys whenever I play now because of you😂

Ox destroyed the ship..... . Lots of lady ship captains.

I have come across several of those encounters, but not the Valentine as of yet.

Oxhorn bee bopping to The Valentine song was entertaining.

Waiting your view on the Grandma.

It’s interesting that there are still so many earth accents. Wouldn’t they fade out after a while?
