Starfield has some much needed new features in Bethesda’s most recent update: the ability to eat food that you find and support for NVidia DLSS and DLAA. These come with some other fixes, adjustments to stealth, graphical improvements, and more.
Starfield mod lets you pilot your ship by remote control, even when you're not on board
03.11.2023 - 22:55 / pcgamer.com
The best part of Starfield is undeniably your spaceship, which can be customized or built from scratch to look like anything from a cute little ladybug to a massive Star Destroyer.
So it's kind of a shame you don't have more control over your ship in Starfield. You can fight battles while hovering in orbit, but once you're inside a planet's atmosphere, all you can really do is watch your ship land and take off in a cinematic sequence. Our mobile space bases should be able to do more than that, shouldn't they?
Now they can. The Summoning of Ship mod by modder wSkeever gives your character something every futuristic space traveler should have: a multipurpose remote control. Now you can take off and land your ship while you're not even on it. Or, while you're on it but not sitting in the cockpit. Cool.
With the mod installed, you can take out your remote control and summon your ship to your location, whenever you are on the planet you're exploring (provided there's a decent amount of flat ground or a landing pad nearby). Just poke a button and look up: you'll see your ship come cruising in for a landing right at your feet. That's better than calling an Uber.
Having your ship come to pick you up isn't really a necessity in Starfield, since no matter where you are on a planet you can fast-travel back to your landing spot. But if you're overencumbered or if there are enemies nearby, fast-travel is disabled, so I could see this remote landing feature coming in quite handy. Also, it's just cool to push a button and see your ship come zooming in from orbit and land right in front of you. No Man's Sky lets you summon your ship, so why shouldn't Starfield?
You can also use your remote to make your ship take off and fly into orbit while you remain on a planet. That makes a lot of sense: I wouldn't leave my spaceship parked on a planet in the Starfield universe. Parked ships get stolen all the time! (By me.) It feels much safer to have it orbiting high above while you're adventuring on the ground, and only call it in for a landing when you need to make a quick getaway.
Maybe the best part of the mod is being able to turn off gravity while you're inside your ship. Now when you're offworld you can float around in zero-G, which certainly feels more realistic than your ship somehow generating its own gravity field. I just hope you don't mind the mess of every single object in your ship (crew and companions included) hovering around and then clattering to the ground when you land or turn the gravity back on.
Here's a look at the mod's features in action:
The Summoning of Ship mod is available here on Nexus Mods and requires another mod, Plugins.txt Enabler, which itself requires the Starfield Script Extender mod.

New Starfield mod adds much-needed survival features into the mix

Shadows of Doubt modding tools will let you build cities and write your own murder mysteries
Shadows of Doubt is the voxel-based 1980s detective sim in which the glass is always rain-slicked, the coffee as bitter as the human soul, and the whodunnits, procedurally generated. Hard-nosed private eye Rachel (RPS in peace) pronounced herself fascinated but a little stumped by it, back in April, while Graham described it as his "ideal game" in a post about the recent addition of infidelity cases and lost-and-found jobs, adding to my suspicions that Graham is some kind of jigsaw killer and that his news posts are actually ciphered confessions of his terrible crimes.

Skip the grind: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies lets you unlock any multiplayer gun in minutes
For all the ways that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 feels like an add-on for last year's game, it deserves some credit for shaking up the standard 1-55 progression system in a major way. Instead of unlocking every gun, throwable, and gadget just by leveling up, a huge chunk of MW3 items are locked behind new Armory Challenges.
