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.
