It just occurred to me that one of the more disappointing things about starfield to me personally was that while i foolishly wanted a space epic from bethesda, it's one of the few games of that exploratory nature that has you putzing about in a ship that's not a single seat fighter (looking at you nms), instead you get volvo's version of the Millennium Falcon or slightly larger.
and you get stupid player housing elsewhere... sorry i don't like player housing in a single player game, but that's a choice i make.
What i want are
Capital Ships.
there's your player housing, there's your floating fortress of annihilation, there's your obscene amounts of storage..
Can't reasonably land on the planet with that? fine, build and design your own shuttle to go with it. Tour the surface of a planet with your personal doomship looming ominously overhead.
shit like that.
Not enough games give you that particular power fantasy without you having to either jump through a heap of hoops to do so, go all simmy which is not my dopamine trigger, or what a lot of games do is either just have it as a simple conveyance or teeny bit of gameplay as a setpiece before never doing that again.
That the closest thing to freely controlling a capital class vessel without the minutae of EVERYTHING else that's passably good is freakin' STAR TREK ONLINE.
also there's mirror universe borg now too. Spicy Borg.
