🎯 From the vault β€” top Starfield tips most players miss:

β€’ Sprint + jump + boost pack mid-air to cover extreme distances fast. Mobility in Starfield is incredibly fun once you lean into it.
β€’ Outpost management is the passive income engine. Set up 3 outposts early (Narion, Cheyenne, Alpha Centauri) and you’ll never need to grind credits again.
β€’ The Emissary and Hunter have unique dialogue trees that reveal major lore. Talk to them every time you encounter them, even on repeat NG+ runs β€” the options change.
β€’ Digipick lockpicking becomes trivial with Security rank 4. Before that, hoard digipicks β€” you’ll always run out at the worst time.
β€’ Planet traits appear on survey scans. A planet with 3 traits gives 3x the survey XP. Always check for traits before landing.
