PCGamesN Sunday, September 3, 2023 7:05 AM  Want to know how to dock in Starfield? It's a crucial mechanic for any intergalactic traveller, because in theory if you don't get the dock just right, the airlock won't work. Worry not though, because Starfield makes it a whole lot easier to dock compared to a true space sim such as Elite Dangerous, so once you know how, it's a piece of cake. Throughout your time in the RPG game, you'll encounter plenty of factions, both across the 1000+ planets and in outer space. Whether it's through your own exploration or as part of a quest, you'll be required to dock with them. Here's an explainer on how to dock in Starfield.

I remember back in the day standing in front of a wall in the city of Balmora in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind mashing the same fire spell over and over to raise my Destruction skill. This idea of grinding certain gameplay elements carries over to Bethesda's latest game with the Starfield skills rank up challenges. However, it is one of the worst parts of the experience. How skills work in Starfield is you gain a skill point every time you level up. You can then use that skill point to learn a brand new skill or rank up an existing one you have. While the former is an instant and easy procedure, the latter is quite frustrating. It isn't as easy as using a skill point to raise your Security skill to rank two and be able to pick higher-level locks. No, you have to also pick a certain number of locks and complete the skill rank up challenge for it before you can level it up. In a way, this mixes the idea of using your skills to level them up, which was prevalent in The Elder Scrolls series, but also applying skill points on top of that. This makes the system more confusing and convoluted than it needs to be. It would be fine if I needed to, for instance, take so much fall damage to increase my Wellness skill and gain more health in the game. But to make me waste an entire skill point on it on top of that? It becomes quite annoying. It gets worse, though, when none of your skill challenge progression is retroactive. For instance, you need to boost using your boost pack (think jet pack) in combat several times to complete its rank up challenge. But let's say you leave the first challenge completed for hours before ranking it up with a skill point. Even if you boosted a hundred times between those two ranks, none of those boosts will count towards the next challenge if you don't spend the skill point. This means you could effectively waste your progression potential if you don't rank up a skill you've completed the challenge for as soon as possible. This only worsens when the game gatekeeps some of the best features behind high ranks of skills. For instance, you won't be able to pilot the best ships in the game, the C-class ships, without the max rank of your Piloting skill. But good luck getting more than 50 ship eliminations to fully rank up this skill without some serious grinding. I just now unlocked that final rank after more than 50 hours of playing the game. Meanwhile other skills like Leadership, with skill challenges of simply running around with a companion, are hilariously easy to complete, despite being a higher tier skill than Piloting. This disconnect between the challenges is troublesome and unnecessary. I would have been fine with the old system of using a skill enough to level it up or just skill points on their own, but mixing the two together disrupts and overcomplicates the leveling up system in Starfield. Starfield is available for Xbox Series X/S and PC. The post Starfield Skills Rank Up Challenges Disrupt Level Up Pacing appeared first on Siliconera. |

Finally, we got to know more about the Honkai: Star Rail destination Penacony. It's a place we were supposed to head to, before the "Windswept Wanderlust" Trailblaze Missions swept us off course. While "Obsequies Performed, A Long Road Ahead" was quite a brief interlude, it did set up things to come. Also, I honestly feel like it set an ominous tone for our future trip to Penacony. Editor's Note: There will be Honkai: Star Rail spoilers concerning Penacony below.[gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="982076" link="file"] Second, we only have a basic understanding of what to expect from Penacony. We were supposed to head there instead of the Xianzhou Luofu, after all. However, the Stellaron crisis there and Kafka sidetracked that. The Astral Express was sent an invitation to the former penal colony turned alleged "utopia" by a group called the Family. So we know going in that this is a planet that went from a prison to a paradise after a Stellaron burst, and that the Astral Express crew is allegedly "welcome" there. However, there are some concerning parts. We know the IPC was involved with Penacony originally in Honkai: Star Rail. Our experience with that group so far includes Findie ads and them trying to turn the Xianzhou Luofu's Aurum Alley into a warehouse. One of its agents even attempts to scam the merchants there during it, stooping to sabotage. We also know that the planet is currently associated with the Aeon Xipe and Harmony path. In game, characters on that path seem to have a laudable goal of helping others. Some of the best supporter units in the game belong to it, like Bronya and Tingyun. However, there are also some ominous elements to Xipe. We know this is an Aeon is essentially a legion of multiple ones. While it is focused on harmony and unity, it also suggests everyone must come together. This could imply that the people on Penacony suggest abandoning all sense of self and "uniting" into some sort of hivemind. Clearly, Penacony seems like an ominous place in Honkai: Star Rail. We've seen what Stellarons can do to planets and locations. We know they can corrupt. The one above this new planet clearly caused a drastic change. While our party is invited, it feels like we're being set up for being lured into a potential trap. However, if Honkai: Star Rail follows Genshin Impact's example, we may not know more until 2024. Honkai: Star Rail is available for PCs and mobile devices, and a PS5 version will arrive in 2023. The post Penacony Seems Like an Ominous Honkai: Star Rail Destination appeared first on Siliconera. |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Sunday, September 3, 2023 10:00 AM  Starfield doesn't have classes, but you can make a great stealth build that rocks in combat and allows you to roleplay as a mysterious space rogue. Here is how to create the best stealth character build in Starfield. Note: If stealth isn't really your thing, you can also create one of the other five best character builds in Starfield. How to make the best stealth character build in Starfield While you can make a great stealth build in Starfield by combining it with melee weapons to create the ultimate stealthy assassin, the best stealth build that I've found involves sniping enemies from afar. With this build, you'll sneakily eliminate every enemy before they even know you're there.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Sunday, September 3, 2023 9:30 AM  To make a successful stealth character build in Starfield, you need to equip suppressors to your weapons. Suppressors greatly reduce the noise of your shots while increasing the accuracy and decreasing the range. Note: If you want to learn the five best character builds in Starfield, which includes a great stealth build, check out our guide. How to install a suppressor weapon mod to a weapon in Starfield The easiest way to get a suppressed weapon in Starfield is to find one on a dead body. I've found a handful of weapons with silencers on them just from looting bodies after a fight. The only downside is you're stuck with that weapon instead of being about to put a suppressor on any weapon you want. However, if you want to attach a suppressor to any weapon in Starfield there are three things you need. One, you need a weapon workbench. Two, you need to finish the Muzzle Mods 2 research. Three, you need the right materials to make the suppressor. Y... |

Note: Check out the five best character builds in Starfield to make sure your adventure is a smooth one. Best ways to grav jump and fix "unexplored route" in Starfield There are two key tips to remember to make grav jumping easy in Starfield.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Sunday, September 3, 2023 8:00 AM  In Starfield, every ship and ship part has a class. Class A is the lowest, class B is the medium tier, and class C is the best ship parts and ships in the game. However, you need to meet certain requirements before installing class B and C ship parts to your ship and before piloting class B and C ships. Here's what you need to do.
