Bethesda's Starfield is a popular space exploration RPG that has a lot of content and areas players can enjoy and explore.
This article provides some tips and tricks that players, particularly beginners, should know about before heading off into their space journeys. Taking these into consideration will help you get comfortable with the game.
Fast Travel from Mission Menu
One of the most frequent things you'll be doing in Starfield is looking at menus while traveling across various planets. You have a variety of options for this feature because there is no other way to get to the majority of your destinations without it.
Fast traveling through the mission menu is possible and lets players go to the location of their next mission's task immediately. This removes the need to look up anything on the game's relatively confusing array of maps, according to Rock Paper Shotgun.
Save Your Skill Points
In Starfield, players have access to a skill system that was designed to be extremely powerful if they are able to save their Skill Points and plan ahead for their build. The recommended path is to heavily invest in one or two areas.
All skills in the game have four ranks that let you invest heavily into a single aspect of your playstyle. However, every subsequent rank in a particular skill will require completing a specific challenge.
This means that you'll get more Skill Points than actual skills that you can choose from in the skill tree. Keeping them unused until you unlock the later skills is a good way to get a power spike once you finish the requirements.

Be Aware After Grav-Jumping
Grav-jumping in the vastness of space means arriving somewhere you are not familiar with. This means that you don't really know what is waiting for you on the other side of your travels. You might sometimes find yourself in the middle of a battle that you cannot win.
While you are able to run away from it, there are some benefits to helping out as friendly ships may give you rewards for your assistance, said Eurogamer.
Unlock the Targeting Control Systems Skill
This particular skill can be one of your greatest assets during spaceship combat. What it does is that after locking onto an enemy ship, you will be able to directly target one of its systems, including its Lasers and Shields.
What this means is that you improve your aim while also letting you board and take over enemy ships by targeting their defenses.
Make Use of Companion Skills
Another useful thing in Starfield is that the skill Persuasion can be used to convince reluctant companions and crew to join you on your adventure. After that, you can make use of their skills that you may not have yourself.
This means that smart management and allocation of your crew can reward you for your efforts and time. One of the fan-favorite characters, cowboy Sam Coe, has the Rifle Certification and Piloting skills, according to CNN.
