Apartments should come furnished or with selectable load outs. All of the player housing is empty and useless to me. I don't want to grind resources to build my own furniture.

Todd defenders: Ikea did not survive the exodus from Earth.
My friends were wandering why there was no radio in the game and I was like "Spotify killed the music industry before the exodus, and people focused on surviving more than making music" not lore accurate but I think it's a funny concept
Lego did though. They just didn't figure out how to let you pick the place to put the ladders
Might have been a good riddance though.
Until someone releases the IKEA mod.
Same. Id love a reason to spend my mountain of credits and I don't have the free time to decorate my fake house piece by piece. The penthouse was a letdown when I realized how much time it would take to actually make it look decent.
I agree, I was excited to check out my new place, even though I probably was never going to visit again. When I saw it was empty, I assumed it was like in Skyrim where I needed to pay for each room. Then I saw I actually have to build each item.
Even worse, I have to go skill up on outpost building to unlock most of the options. Right now I can only furnish it with bare bones level 1 items that would be completely out of character. So, I left and will probably never return. Someday, when I play it on PC, I will hopefully be able to find a mod to fix this.
Pff, my ship is my home.
This
I chose the perk to have the fancy house with a mortgage, but after going and checking it out it just seemed like an awful lot of work when I’ve been flying a perfectly suitable home around all along.
I love having my ship as my home, but I keep capturing and upgrading ships so I can never arrange things inside like I want and have them stay that way. One advantage of a house/apartment is they stay arranged the same way.
You can arrange things in your ship??
Yeah items like plushies and weapons and things you can put where you want them. Drop an item out of your inventory onto a surface and hold down whatever key you use to pick up things.
my plan is make it my characters retirement home. and then leave him there on the last save i use for it
New Atlantis is barely more of a town than the scrappy cowboy outpost. Where are my space cities?? It makes sense for a Skyrim/fantasy village to be small, but when you can ship in infinite food from all across the galaxy with grab drives you have no excuse for a lack of mega cities.
They're using the same engine they've used since Morrowind. It literally cannot handle large numbers of NPCs. Not that I'm excusing them, of course, it's a braindead decisiom on their part.
Totally agree. Wish I hadn't chosen the dream home perk
-
Because it's empty and I couldn't be bothered mining resources and making stuff
-
Because that house is in the middle of nowhere
-
The Vanguard quest gave me a free penthouse in New Atlantis which I like better
But of course that penthouse is also empty and I don't even have the option to make a double bed for some reason (sorry Sarah!)
So I just use my room in constellation as home.
It bothers me - more than it probably should - that none of the Captain's Quarters habs comes with a double bed! Apparently all space captains are Puritans?
Its Starfield, so yes.
You would expect Stroud to have luxury living quarters.
I sleep at my parents place.
I've never liked decoration simulators. If I can build, and change the actual structure to my liking (e.g. fallout 4) I enjoy it, but simply adding plants and couches and paintings that are ultimately meaningless... I just can't.
Same. Like the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy. I loved having the option to customize it how I wanted, and it gets fucking HUGE, but they give you all sorts of different decorative pieces, about a third of which are wall-hangings of some kind.
100% but purely because the resource outpost system is such fucking trash right now. If outposts got enough love to not be stupid then keeping furnishing resource based would be fine.
The only positive is that it can draw resources from your ships cargo, but yes it is still stupid. The actual decorations leave a lot to be desired too though.
