What Easter Eggs have you found?

Starfieldhas a ton of weapon mods to muck about with—not the kind you need a script extender for, mind you. I'm talking about the vanilla crafting system: If you drop a few points into the Science skill tree, you'll be able to craft all kinds of mods that blow the doors wide open on the game's build variety.
One such combo is the Hornet Nest mod, slapped onto the Coachman shotgun. This thing makes your gun explosive, scattering rounds directly downwards from the point of impact—which can just be the sky, as they explode after a certain distance anyway. Here's a great example video from iSwearSheWas56 on the Starfield reddit.
I'm mostly just shocked at the range. It's one thing to turn a spacer into a fine mist point-blank, it's another to fire over a wall and spew molten metal at the poor sods on the other side. And mechs were considered too much for space warfare? I don't even think you need grenades with this thing. It looks like it renders them completely obsolete.
To do this yourself, you'll need to dump two points into Weapon Engineering and scrounge around for three Lead, three Adhesive, and three Tetrafluoride. Lead's pretty common, and you can buy Adhesive from most general stores—Tetrafluoride's a little more rare, but if you're in the Schrodinger III for this busted XP farm, it's just a quick jaunt over to Schrodinger VIII-b to get some. The system that keeps on giving.
I'm not one for crafting systems in most games, but this has fully tempted me. Look at this thing. I just wish I didn't have to bust open a wiki to cobble something like this together. Plus, you have to spend the prerequisite points in stuff that isn't about melting my foes from above, since Weapon Engineering's on the second row of skills.

There's a massive universe to explore in Starfield, with many activities and objectives you can throw yourself in. One area in particular is Starfield ship customization, giving players the chance to build their dream starship for their protagonist and their crew. However, some players have pushed developer Bethesda's shipbuilding as far as it can go with player mods and without. One player, who shared their creation on Reddit, came up with a design so ingenious they said it was "almost cheating."
One Starfield mod allows players to build their own space stations and truly live the spacefaring fantasy of never touching the ground.
Are there features you wished to see in Starfield? Well, thanks to data mining, one Starfield player created a highly requested Starstation outpost mod.
Ubisoft’s latest earnings report has delayed two of the company’s upcoming games, with Skull & Bones now definitely not coming out before the end of 2023, and a mystery “big game” that many are speculating to be Star Wars Outlaws.

Ahh, Bethesda physics, you never let me down. Starfield's no exception—and its physics engine is genuinely impressive, able to handle thousands of potatoes stuffed into a room (with some understandable framerate tanks and whining from your rig). PC Gamer's Lauren Morton even had some fun herself, shoving all sorts into that same locker.
The best Starfield weapons can turn space pirates into space pulp with just a few shots, and one player has taken this philosophy, and the RPG's weapon modding system, to an extreme by converting a shotgun into portable artillery that devastates entire areas so efficiently that you barely have to aim the thing.
Writer Michael Green gives an update on how the film is coming along.
One incredibly lucky Starfield player has stumbled onto a space pirate that was three times their level and, somehow, walked away with both their life and a sweet legendary rifle.
If there’s one thing missing from Starfield that cranked up the immersion in previous Bethesda games, it’s probably the radio stations. Walking through the post-apocalyptic landscape in Fallout 4 surrounded by Death Claws and Super Mutants while blasting Big Band music on your Pip-Boy really elevated the gameplay experience for many. Unfortunately, Starfield came without a galaxy-wide space radio, to the disappointment of numerous fans who have been asking where Starfield’s radio is in multiple forums since its release. Many players were expecting it to be a given, but one player put matters into his own hands and created an all-around Starfield space radio that anyone can play for free while soaring the Great Unknown.
Getting smacked by a giant with a forceful club and launching into the stratosphere is easily one of Skyrim’s best moments. The meme is as immortal as the game at this point. So, it’s only natural that Starfield spacefarers would want to recreate the special moment in a game that’s all about launching in and out of planets.
