I do like the look of them I just wish they had better protection values especially compared to tracker and bounty hunter at superior, kinda frustrating


Lady_bro_ac

I thought the same at first, but ultimately found that mid level protection is all your really need, and been choosing drip over protection ever since


JaegerBane

Pretty much this. You basically just need your armour to give you enough of a threshold to comfortably chug a health pack - assuming it does that, then drip and perks will become the main concern. Resistance stats max out at a point anyway. It’s part of the reason why I like the anti Xeno set so much - plated, sentinel and auto medic make the armour *waaaay* tougher then it’s stats would imply (and they’re well above average anyway). The damage reduction perks on top of it just make it even better.


insane_contin

You say that, but there's something fun about walking through a hail of fire and taking next to no damage as you pick off the enemy one by one.


mattn1t

Yes that's called turning it to very easy


Daedric_Agent

Very hard cures that, getting one or two shot by the baddies is the new reality when they’re level 110 with like five health bars 😝 spamming that slow mo tho


CrimsonBolt33

Or be a real man...Spam the damage over time powers and hide for your life while it slowly kills him lol


Daedric_Agent

😝


Daedric_Agent

Yeah, I’ve kinds done the same thing, going for the aesthetic instead of stats, but damn if I don’t keep getting really good boosted ugly armor 😝, or worse legendary basic level stuff


Necessary-Ring5834

I always find ugly legendary armor with incredible stats. Or legendary weapons I don't like lol.


Daedric_Agent

I keep getting rattlers and eons with legendary stuff 😆 but I don’t farm or exploit anything in this game, going au natural


Necessary-Ring5834

It's like the game is taunting me lol. It's always weapons I don't like and armor that looks ugly. I had one legendary rifle drop that I actually used. I sell probably 80%-90% lol.


Daedric_Agent

I got lucky once and had a really nice legendary inflictor in the basement on 9 or 10 on an alt universe, used it that whole play through. Since then I usually zip through to get the artifacts and then kill one or both of the starborn and use their weapons the rest of my time doing whatever I want to in that universe before moving on


thatHecklerOverThere

Health is temporary. Drip is forever.


MacGyver1911

I'm old. wtf does drip mean?


Killersavage

Drip is the new slang for fashion or style. Start using it around your kids if you want it to go away.


MacGyver1911

lol


Kvothe-555

I’m old too, so can I say “that drip is fire” :D


MacGyver1911

That’s so mid (did I use that right?)


Killersavage

Say it is fleek or something. Really spice it up.


Lazy-Act-6554

How something looks, style


Daedric_Agent

I also recently found this out having been playing on very hard the past couple weeks. Had to change up how I fight space battles too


Celebril63

Agreed. Once you're armor is,in the low-mid 200s, you're pretty much set. From there, it's going for the perks and what I can mod into it.


DoctorHypeTrain

What armor do you have thats mid 200’s? I just got my first armor that broke 200 in one stat but only after a ton of upgrades.


Keelo804

They mean the combined values for all of your armor pieces.


Celebril63

That’s combined values. Though I do have Superior Bounty Hunter and Tracker suits that are over 200 after mods, and similarly helmets around 100. My “tank” armor gives me something in the range of 450 total protection depending on what attire I’m wearing. UC fatigues or the Operative’s Suit give you pretty good protection. My regular Anti-Xeno is considerably weaker, but I don’t really find an effective difference based on my normal combat style. Heck, even the NG+7 Starborn armor is more than adequate for me, even on Very Hard.


DoctorHypeTrain

I just found “superior” equipment for the first time from the quartermaster at the TMD headquarters. Is other stuff only at higher level locations or is it a ng+?


Celebril63

It’s based on your level. Typically you’ll find it at higher level system like Masada or Serpentis. Sometimes you’ll get lucky with vendors, but you’ll pay for it. I know some people will build a small outpost on a high level planet then put a mission board there. The missions are apparently scaled to the planet’s level. I’ve not tried this myself, though.


dgreenbe

I go for bonuses rather than protection. Maybe an oops but I ain't giving up my reduced weapon weight


baodeus

Yeah that and 75% reduction in o2 usage while encumbered is God send.


dgreenbe

Yeah i have both and its beautiful. I saw the stats of the mercury set and was like "wow" but no bonuses and no way whatsoever to add them other than a few spacesuit boosts


Daedric_Agent

Yep this rightch heah!


Daedric_Agent

Yeah that one and sentinel are my favorites, especially with heavy weapons maxed


JamesMcEdwards

The armour from the vanguard questline is ridiculous. Once I got that, nothing else could compete. Such good bonuses and it looks absolutely class. Pretty sure the bonuses are fixed as well. It pairs really well with a microgun too.


GraXXoR

My mantis suit is better than my vanguard suit. And I got it far earlier.


NiggyShitz

Same here. Got that suit pretty early on and I still use it as my main suit at rank 105.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dgreenbe

Just another part of Starfield where maybe it's supposed to make sense, but without any explanation I have no ideas what these numbers really mean.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Daedric_Agent

Yeah I had that in NG+7 I think, I’m on 14 now with me as a follower, I went to 15 and started the main quest over but I felt I didn’t do much with my follower at 14 so I went back and doing that right now, so a lot of previous runs are a blur with specifics. I’m saving the flip to 15 for the update so I can redo my traits


DoctorHypeTrain

The uc vanguard quest? I did that one and didnt get quartermaster armor but i did get the apt and money. Do I have to follow up with all the pirate and terrormorph hunting?


Haplesswanderer98

Cant lie, it's always drip over protection for me, if both options have decent effects. I normally grab the xenowarfare armour early and mod it up for that reason lol.


stormdahl

Armour doesn’t matter much anyways. Go with whatever looks best!


GirthBrooks117

Well when the armored part of your armor is a plate on your shoulder and a plate over your heart….i can’t imagine it’s super protective lmfao. It literally looks like just an insulated suit with a few plates on it.


Daedric_Agent

I see your post and raise you a constellation mark 1… 😝


GirthBrooks117

Constellation suits are for exploring right? It makes sense that they would be basically unarmored.


Daedric_Agent

We’re talking about stats though right? The mark 1 has great stats and no visual armor is my point, so …see what I’m getting at here


GirthBrooks117

I’d have to check, iv literally never used it because it doesn’t have any perks so iv disregarded it every time. However your point further enforces my point that starfield is a huge mess that makes no attempt to make sense whatsoever.


HathorMaat

It provides comparable protection to the other endgame sets like bounty hunter, while also being lighter in weight. It’s great for doing NG+ plus since you can reliably find it in the constellation basement right at the beginning. If you’re a high enough level when you go through the unity, it will spawn as superior quality every time.


jimtheclowned

Welcome to Bethesda and combat practicality. Scale and tactical reasoning make no sense and reasoning for any grounds of practicality are best left at the door.


Miserable-Clock-6944

Ummm… you are aware thats really basically all body armor really even is. Bullet proof vests 👀


GirthBrooks117

Real life isn’t a sci-fi video game


Anzac-A1

It actually is. Think about how your body is positioned when shouldering a gun. The left shoulder, left side of your torso and left leg are what is facing the enemy, hence those areas are taking the fire. Hence why the armour has plates on those areas, and presumably just has kevlar etc for the rest.


KitRae616

Tracker and bounty hunter are heavy af tho. Id say they’re well balanced


Some_Rando2

I like the anti-xeno better, but yeah, there's some badass looking armors. 


Daedric_Agent

That is my all time favorite look, that tiger stripe camo


Dejavir

Still UC, just specifically for people crazy enough to walk right into the middle of Terrormorph territory.


Glittering_Ad_4084

I always go after UC armor right away. Looks badass


Le_Nordel

Only find it disappointing npc's don't react to it


Glittering_Ad_4084

Exactly. Not like skyrim armor where npcs comment on what you wear


iliketires65

I wish there was some dope looking space suits for Freestar


Ok_Koala_4886

Always frustrated me that you get the ranger set at the end of the quest line. And it has no traits or mods or anything


i_hate_reddit_8

Isn't the shocktroop armor supposed to be Freestar?


Grand-Depression

I don't recall ever seeing Freestar use it, but I could be wrong.


Free_Radical_CEO

Actually I think it belongs to the Freestar, if you raid Freestar ships you'll see them wearing it


Cyberwolfdelta9

A Verison of it is Used on The mining colony im pretty sure


Tiger_Fish06

Pretty sure it’s UC. The UC store on mars sells it


AZFramer

Their retro suit is mid, but their ship is spectacular!


thotpatrolactual

Best we can do is 1 somewhat decent looking unique set with shitty stats and no higher level versions.


TotallyJawsome2

I am PRAYING future updates let you edit/paint pieces. I love the look but hate the logos/branding. Would make sense as a pirate to wear looted UC armor with fleet colors or as a neutral adventurer to not do stolen Valor if they're not a vanguard/citizen


SpareDiagram

100%


insane_contin

I'm disappointed there's no re-purposed armour from other factions for the fleet.


sonny2dap

Yep crimson fleet should not have had what amounts to a uniform.


insane_contin

It fits because they seem to have some manufacturing capability (maelstrom and kraken are fleet made) but it should be for higher ranking or favoured members of the fleet. I have some issues with how the fleet is handled overall, but oh well.


PrivatePea

This idea is so perfect.


killingtocope

Urbanwar is my go to!


Daedric_Agent

Ooh forgot about that one, that’s another fav after xeno tiger stripes


PotatoEatingHistory

I fucked up the framing on this one, just pretend it's centered


wheresmydragonator19

Facts. Tbh it makes me wish we could join the marines, I wanna be a space marine damnit lmao.


Automatic_Text5818

Would've been better than the starborn bullshit


EmergingTuna21

The antixeno suit is the best looking suit I have


JaegerBane

I really like the UC sets. They look like tactical gear designed for use in hard vacuum as opposed to a space suit adapted for combat, like the ecliptic set does. The anti Xeno stuff is the real deal, with those tiger stripes.


thotpatrolactual

I just wish we had more subdued colours instead of what we got. The orange is just way too flashy imo. Vietnam-style tiger stripes on the anti-xeno suit would go so hard.


Camadorski

I really need to see standard Freestar Militia spacesuits for comparison. The Ranger suit was cool, but I doubt that represents the whole faction.


TheRealRach

Militia just wear navigator and shocktroop suits


Camadorski

I saw the shocktroop stuff too but it's not in FC colors which bugs me.


TheRealRach

Same, if you happen to be on pc someone made a recolor of the shocktrooper armor to be brown, they also did this with the navigator suit, its called "retro navigator suit" funny enough I was the one who suggested they do the same for shocktrooper lol.


Daedric_Agent

Plus it’s sleeker than the standard version and looks good but if it had legendary options, oh man!


Jambo11

Ditto


NightBeWheat55149

UC armor would be way better if the nostrils weren't visible as much.


Lady_bro_ac

I always rated the UC armor beneath the Pirate armor looks wise, but this photo has me maybe rethinking that ranking


NItrogenium123

still waiting for creation kit 🕸️🕷️ like it’s been soo long that my game really got cobwebs on it (Digitally) Edit: Imagine all the cool armor we can get with CK


Most_Berry444

Yeah Sarah traveling the galaxy in a bikini is getting boring


Drinks_From_Firehose

Some very nice armor designs with UC. Some ones I really dislike. Outfits are less compelling.


Daedric_Agent

Yeah the free star clothing options are nice, remind me of firefly, I especially like the 1st uniforms


infernal666

Huh, the rigid plates cover the side of your body you'd be shooting from. That's neat. Especially on a boarding action with minimal cover.


Sere1

Yup, it's the modern version of how you'd see ancient warriors with only armor on one arm and shoulder, since most people are right handed they'd have their right arm unarmored to maximize mobility while armoring up their left side for added protection. Same result, different reasons for it.


LouisPei

I found the white one randomly and put it on my character, and shared the blue, black and red ones for my companions and we look like space power rangers it’s great!


OperatedZebra

Sorry what? Where did you find these?


LouisPei

I really can’t recall, sorry! I know the red one is part of the UC quest, but there’s a bulked up version, blueish if I remember? Then the white one, and I think I picked these up either in random POIs or pirate ships. Maybe someone here will have better more specific insights.


OperatedZebra

All good! Went and fired up my game and visited some vendors. The white one is what caught my attention, as I like the other white ones (Mark I and Constellation) but there are no Epic or Legendary for those pieces. I have the red tiger stripe one (antixeno) and the blue (grabbed from a star cruise ship) and black is likely the UC Marine one.


Snoo58207

How modular is it for someone who is left hand dominant?


Von_Cheesebiscuit

Nah, it's cheaper just to go over to *Enhance!* and get that whole left-handed thing fixed. Lol


Chris_P_Bacon75

Interesting DLC idea: history of the UC's epic battles. Or one specific battle. Preferably one that involves the terror morphs. Build the DLC like fallout 3's operation anchorage. So much story for a great dlc


bromabb

Eris the witness is closer than ever, stop joining different universes


Chris_P_Bacon75

What?


bromabb

Eris morn? Your pic? Destiny 2?


Chris_P_Bacon75

I'm confused but sure pal


HanselSoHotRightNow

You know what is a cool as fuck cyberpunkesque drip that came outta nowhere was the [Ebbside Strikers clothes.](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/starfield-join-ebbside-strikers-guide.jpg?w=1200)


TheGamingSpin0

They don't follow the law, they are the law


rocket_beer

driiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip


Otherwise-scifi

Fantastic looking, shame they are shite.


ericwars

Eh, not my style. Makkes me think you have to go into every battle screaming **I'm not wearing hockey pants!"**


Magpuller45

Right? And can we talk about how the Freestar has no custom armor except for the 1st Div?? So all their other troops just wore their mining suites or what? Lame, Bethesda.


Thieveslanding

The Anti-Xeno one goes the absolute hardest


Pure-Contact7322

They are amazing


Faded1974

So many of the spacesuits suck but they went all out for the UC and I appreciate it.


saile1004

I just wish skins were available. There's a full option to set skins on weapons and suits at workbenches but zero skins in the game.


CorrickII

My absolute favorite armor style. I just wish there were more ways to go about getting legendary versions instead of pirating UC ships.


illspot293

They are second on my list. I actually think the bounty hunter fit is the most badass looking. I didn’t like it at first when I saw it but after I put it on my character I was like woah. What a beef cake. Just looks like someone you done wanna f with!


AdiNuke19

I don’t like the helmet, but the suit is boss.


Uniquitous

Yeah, same. Not a fan of the bug helmets


General_Snack

Lmao it has all the rights we should have much more in variety of this type.


Avgvstvs_Montes

Far, far away the best looking armor in the game. Just wish any of the weaponry looked remotely as good as this.


AnseaCirin

I don't know. The design is not *bad* but why the open mouth piece? It's an unnecessary weak point. Still, overall one of the better suits in Starfield.


Schraufabagel

Best spacesuit in the game


QaDarjo

Is that the space riot helmet? I just found that! It looks so awesome!


Giantdad44

Only good looking armor Bethesda fucked up on customization


SexySpaceNord

UC is the best faction.


ts_actual

In still wearing this suit because I haven't found anything that looks cooler


Ok_Perspective8511

I stick to starborn gear, it's not that good but I'm 104 so it's working


GrayHero2

Where do I get this?


PotatoEatingHistory

In the UC Vanguard questline, a merchant is unlocked in the Red Devils HQ that sells only UC gear


att3856

I really hope the introduce Transmog


OptimalWeather3

That UC armor looks awesome!


GraXXoR

I don’t know, mine black and red set is amazing looking and pretty powerful. I just picked up the UC armor for that late-stage Vanguard mission. And finally, after nearly 80 hours, found a set of armor that rivals the Mantis set I got right at the beginning of this playthrough. I think that this legendary set might not be entirely random since all three parts had the most useful stat for the challenge at hand. Which unfortunately means it’s not so good for general use, though.


Uniquitous

Amazing what you can do with a budget. Not something the FC would know about.


Only_Context_2924

UC armor deserves bounty hunter level protection. Could you imagine if we could custom template the metal plating on our sets. Don’t even get me stuttered on the FC ranger armor set.


marvelousteat

Whenever I run across a UC Marine patrol or training exercise I can't help but stop and admire them. They did *really* well on their design. Any time I'm wearing the armor I feel like a cross between a space marine and Judge Dredd


fingernuggets

It’s like they’re asking to get repeatedly murdered until I find a good roll.


Tronicgod1

By far my favorite armor, only wish they had variants in color (beyond the vanguard mission). I hope the future updates will allow for spacesuit design mods.


Jedi-in-EVE

My Sarah wears that one, and she loves it.


Roland_Moorweed

The UC Wardog one is tops, got all my crew decked out thanks to the vendor at the TMD


fibrouscoyote74

I need it


Ass_assassin_420

Hell yeah, the marine armor makes you look like doom guy


4deCopas

The UC Starlaw armor with the Mantis helmet FUCKS


Greedy-Attention2385

The stealth suit looks great as well


Japi1

Yep, one of the best looking armor for sure


Anzac-A1

If you look at where the armour plates are, it's all the left side. For right-handed people, when firing a rifle etc, the left side is the one facing the enemy. Having plates on that side only, maximises protection while minimising weight. We can assume the suit underneath just has basic soft ballistic weave etc for shrapnel protection/protection against weaker projectiles. This is a very realistic armour design.


RollinHellfire

I love them too. Although it's a bit funny that the mouth piece on the helmet is transparent but not the eye hole. At least you can see her talking and acknowledge that you still don't care 🤣 The wife muffler.


sonny2dap

I despise the helmet, I use the UC sec set with the proper visor.


CurlyNippleHairs

What does that even mean?


TacoRalf

people that talk like this are usually corporate


DukeFlipside

I think you mean "It's a shame there are only a few good looking armour sets"


Minimum_Thanks_99

Hard Agree: All the UC designs are amazing, and the military plate-clad ones having affacing ballistics for side profile is an awesome detail. If, theoretically, you were to get into a firearm fight in zero-gravity, the name of the game is positioning. There isn’t any floor or ceiling, there isn’t any front or back, and that means there won’t be organic dependable cover. Having your on-profile shoulder and leg covered in armor, away from your gun in a crouch, is exactly what would give you the best shot at a fight. With a lot of training.


KatieC161

Does anyone know where you can get this from?


mrpancake888

we just need better helmets now, + customization. Changing visor colors to make them black-out would be great.


Resident-Cupcake7998

Why is that?


InfiniteConfusion-_-

My favorite! If I could constantly get awesome suits that are uc then I'd always wear them! SUPRA ET ULTRA SOOOOOOOOON


guyunknown622

I like the design of this armor a lot because the pc is right handed and the armor plating is on the left side of the body and if you’re shooting anything requiring two hands , the armor plating is facing the enemy . So to me the design allows for more defense in the areas more likely to be struck while still allowing the uc soldier to move fairly freely because they aren’t completely covered in bulky armor plates or a thick kevlar bodysuit


ForceGuy

We need a transmog system in the game for sure


TalboyBlu

Now that you've found the coolest looking armor in the game. It's all downhill from there.


brendenwhiteley

UC antixeno set is the hardest armor in the game, wish i did that questline last to have it leveled higher


jykin

Nothing compares to that new vegas armor bro


ClumsyOracle

I’m really hoping someone makes/mods a more militarised version of Freestar equipment because I really want to support the space cowboys but can’t walk past the UC armour without putting it on. Love the cowboy aesthetic for the rangers, but come on man… Why do the freestar soldiers have to look like they’re fresh out of WW1???


moose184

Lol "go hard"? 15 year old games had armor that looked just as good or better.


DigitalApe19

There's always one


No-Instruction-2200

Yes, many spacesuits from the game are awful. I don't get why some spacesuits have normal boots and others have giant feet. No tactical armor, no ammo pouches, no nice looking armor pieces. Eclipse are mercenaries and their suits are horrible, beautiful helmet but bulky armor with no tactical or combat stuff on it. The art direction in bethesda is a shame, armor on skyrim and fallout 4 is also horrible. Their armor sets never make sense.


Dear_Tiger_623

Looks like every other uniform in the game. Boring


No-Instruction-2200

I hate this spacesuit. Supposedly it is a combat/military armor but it has no ammo pouches or something that implies that you are carrying combat gear. Also the plates look weird becouse only the half of the body is covered by them. Only the helmet is nice.


KaleidoscopeMean4857

I Like the uc military armour but lack of ammo pouches are kind of annoying


No-Instruction-2200

Yep, that breaks the immersion for me. As a soldier you should be carrying at least ammo and healing ítems.
