View All →Best Mods for a Pirate Character
### Ye be Warned This is not intended for those new to Starfield. Mods like these, many designed for more experienced players wanting to forego the main quest line (or at least delay it), will make life more difficult without giving you context for where you're at in the universe. ### Premise So you want to be a space pirate? Great! This collection of mods will help get you started off right. If you use these, you'll start the game as a pirate in your very own pirate ship (a humble Crimson Fleet Ghost), and you'll be docked to The Key - the HQ for the Crimson Fleet - all thanks to the *Crimson Start New Game* mod by SKKmods. In fact, you'll be starting 2-3 quests into the Crimson Fleet quest line having already joined the faction, and you'll be asked where your loyalties like (spy or not for Sysdef). ### Follower Options In vanilla Starfield, there are not nearly enough companion options that tolerate piracy. Of course, you can broaden that pool with mods like *No Angry Companions* by AlmightySE which ends most of the judgement by Constellation. Here are others to consider that have a more natural fit with your pirate: 1. **Jessamine Griffin** - Smuggler found in The Last Nova (bar) on The Key. One of my personal favorites in the game. 2. **Betty Howser** - You'll find her adrift on her ship orbiting Heinlein I. Bring a ship parts pack and she'll join your crew. Another great option! 3. **Mathis Castillo** - You'll be forced to spend more time with him if you continue the Crimson Fleet quest line, and the choices there will decide whether he's a companion option or an enemy. 4. **Sophia Grace** - Gang member on Neon found in Madame Sauvage's Place. ### Other Tips 1. The Kryx System puts you surrounded by more mid-level star systems. Be careful where you pick your starting battles. 2. You'll be aligned with Crimson Fleet from the start, so even with *Crimson Fleet - Less Fleet More Heat* mod from cyberpsyche you'll find most POIs, when exploring, are occupied by friendly Crimson Fleet. The *NPC Spawner Dangerzone* mod by naerv will help liven things up anytime you want and provide an ample supply of gear to loot and sell. :) 3. Piracy requires a lot of enhancements to your ship. Cargo space to fit all your loot will be at a premium for awhile unless you mod around that.

View All →Deimog
This is a very nice vehicle option made by BGS and offered as an alternative to the Rev-8. By comparison, it has a fully enclosed cabin and a much better weapon: the mounted rocket launcher. Its boost is a bit more limited, but it has greater speed. I also tend to think the 3 color options stand out more on the panels of the Deimog when compared to the roll cage of the Rev-8. Vasco still fits nicely in the back and will still go through similar animations on your journeys. Originally, I preferred the rover look of the Rev-8, but - in the last month or two - the Deimog has really grown on me.

I want so badly for this mod to succeed, but I tried it on a new character recently in 2026. Sadly, it reached a state - after she goes off on her own for the first time on Neon - where it kept crashing my game completely. Every time I tried to leave Neon, the game crashed. I tried disabling the creation on my load order, but all game saves for that character crashed when trying to load it. After doing some research, I found that there were many other moments in her quest line, or other quests, where the game would crash or cause areas to become inaccessible. I applaud the author for continuing to add to the creation (new content, lip sync with voiced lines, etc), but there are still bugs in it - perhaps conflicts with other creations - that lead to fatal errors in the game. It's a real shame because I like her personality and enjoyed having her as a companion, otherwise.

Originally, this was called just The Vulture when it came out in 2024. At the time, it was also 700 credits - which was badly overpriced for just 1 bounty and one of the basic ones at that. Thank goodness Bethesda has recently added 5 more all-new bounties to round out the series and now it is renamed "The Complete Bounty Series." I'm glad to say it lives up to that name, and the price tag is now quite the bargain for what you get (and those that bought it previously get the new content in an update for free). The variety of bounties and story lines is excellent and some of the best you'll find anywhere in Starfield. All of them continue the trend of giving unique gear at the end. Two of them go even further with new player homes and one gives a new, quality ship. The stories explore several different types of criminals and scenarios that sometimes put your character in some uniquely challenging situations. I hope you go into them with as few spoilers as possible.

Great selection of skins for specific gear. They are varied by appearance as requested by the person who wanted it. Overall, they are high-quality skins and add more customization options for hear and clothing.
Read more →Motel Akila - A Unique POI
A small, but well-made settlement. The location is a dusty motel some distance away from Akila City with secrets scattered about. The aesthetics are on-point, giving that run-down, definitely shady motel feel. The quest was neat, requiring your skills to observe, deduct, and investigate to find the answers.

Great mod and goes well with the first mod in the series. This one is more focus on mini POIs, aka smaller buildings/structures with a story to tell, goodies to discovered, or enemies to defeat. I keep mine's low for the immersion and it's perfect. Feels like a traveler been through the area at some point and left a small sign they were there.
