A phenomenal escape-the-room themed mod, akin to the fantastic The Escape mod, albeit much longer, and at times, more difficult. The puzzles are fantastic and requires plenty of observation, memorizing, deducting, and a bit of external basic knowledge. While the end loot was randomized, the ship at the end is actually amazing. Renamed mine's to The Pill.

There are a couple of bugs to be aware of. For one, do not bring a companion of any kind. For some reason, it causes floor 6 to bugged out to the point of a softlock. Secondly, on the last puzzle, save before attempting, as there's no way to know if the sequence was resetted after a failed attempt. So if you go out of order, you'll not be aware and get stuck unable to solve it besides sheer luck.

Overall, the puzzles were clever, and the story bizarre yet intriguing. Took me over 8 hours to complete and was well worth the monies.

I really like what wizzackr has been doing with ship creations, and this is another great addition made even better by providing some excellent example ships pre-built you can purchase from a kiosk in Taiyo Astroneering on Neon.

I love that this one included engines and cockpits that fit so well into this design language. They simultaneously look unique while still fitting well with Starfield aesthetics.

This one seems to take a good bit more practice to use when compared to ASC Deimos. The structural pieces can produce a very large ship that actually has surprisingly few habs - which all tends to favor flatter ship profiles.

I've been trying these out, and I'm really enjoying all the ones I've tried so far. In general, I prefer those that provide a fast rate of fire. Just be aware that you may need to crank the difficulty of space combat up a bit after using these. They tend to make you over-powered.

There's only two downsides. One is that I haven't seen these used against me yet. I think that is partly my load order. Most ships of higher level on my play throughs tend to be those of the Covenant from the Project Viper mod.

I also haven't found the 9 new ships this mod offers with the weapons already on them. However, I may have not found the right ship services technician to sell them, or I might be having a conflict with another mod. I use the communities expansion ship mod, but it provides a patch with this one that I'm also using in my load order.

There's a lot to like with this mod. I like all the different personalities and side quests (albeit very short ones). I love the function some of them bring like one being a full-fledged vendor and another being a capable doctor (with an obnoxious personality). I like a lot of their dialogue with your character as well as each other - though some of their passive comments when you're near get old. I'm glad the mod author thought to give us the option to adjust that.

I really wish we got romance options with some of them. One of the characters is quite flirty, and others I'd like to know more about. This author made Everbright which provides one of the few creation-based romance options, but it's not available here.

In general, I love all these visual creations starfield201 is helping port from Nexus. Of all the recent ones, I was most excited about this Vibrant Volcanic landscape. Unfortunately, it's just not what I expected. It seems to vary greatly from the thumbnails. The turquoise water is beautiful, but I didn't find any instances of it as nicely laid out as its thumbnail. Most were little more than large puddles.

The most glaring texture, though, is the mustard yellow/brown that appears way more prominently than the creations's thumbnails. I visited the first two locations mentioned in the description, and it looks like a giant amount of peanut butter exploded over the planet. I linked one photo on this site that shows a bit of it. I think the ground texture needs to be toned back and made more much more subtle. If they did that, and perhaps I got better luck on my maps, this would be worth keeping. As it stands, I'll probably be removing this one from my load order.
