We've spied how Starfield's starighting works

's Xbox and Bethesda Showcase appears to demonstrate exactly how that power play works in the game. In the cockpit view, a panel on the left-hand side of the screen displays what looks like various ship modules, each with a power gauge.Engine, shield, and grav drive power are all displayed, alongside three other modules: LAS, BAL, and MSL. Those could be lasers, ballistics, and missiles.

Power management mechanics have become common across space sims. Elite: Dangerous has a similar control system that lets you prioritize power output to specific ship modules, distributing it around damaged components and power shortages. We’re yet to see whether Starfield will include such a reactive system.

Power management isn’t the only thing Starfield will have in common with FTL. You’ll also be able to board enemy ships, although the process is a little more hands-on than the automated combat of the indie game. “You can dock with other ships, you can disable them, you can board [them],” Howard said. “There’s actually some quests that involve that. You can steal the ship. There’s dialogue in space, there’s star stations you can visit, there’s smuggling. All the things that we would want.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Howard said Starfield’s space combat has also taken inspiration from robo-fighting game MechWarrior. He said the development team drew from the slower pace of that game when it came to designing power systems and being able to accurately line shots up, rather than drawing inspiration from any “twitchy dogfighter”.
