space traveler sings Sea Shanty (Starfield)

I miss my dear darling and New Atlantis
As I wander the blackness of the deep abyss
My ship is in tatters all dented and worn
But I trust my old engine to get back by morn
Way ho, out in the blackness
Way ho, out in the void
Way ho, get me back to my true love, as quick as an old asteroid

200 hours in and I haven't encountered this guy once. :(

[@arcsyko]

aw man, some day you'll find him, someone even met him several times

[@ShaggyRogers1]

Are you jumping between systems or fast traveling directly to landing spots all the time? The "random encounters" in Starfield are primarily found through grav jumping star systems, while a very small number of radiant quests can be found while out in about planetside. If you just jump to enough planets that don't have contraband scans, then you will eventually encounter all of the different fun random NPC encounters like Valentine's space shanties and/or the trainee pilots that desperately need your help to save their asses.

[@mychaeldark1007]

@ShaggyRogers1 Jumping between systems normally. I took the Wanted Trait to force more encounters for the experience. Can't do that fast traveling. LOL, But understandable to ask that question. Still haven't encountered him by the way.

[@SolluxDivide]

You have to manually jump systems and planets instead of using the fast travel options. If your already in your ship in space it'll always default to flight cutscene instead of fasttravel

I hope to see this guy again

[@Budini67]

I love running across 'the valentine' in space. Found him 3 times now.

[@arcsyko]

Yeah, sometimes these encounters are pretty fun I met a scientist who wanted to tell me a joke while her grav drive was loading, and then she jumped right in the middle of the joke lol

[@furimindusties5736]

Got that guy yesterday. Loved it.

[@Wh40kFinatic]

Was my first random encounter in space.

[@Captain_Yogurt]

I’ve posted this same comment a few times now on a few videos showing this encounter, but if you like the idea of space sea shanties, keep reading! It’s a thing, it’s called filk music, like folk, but sci fi. There isn’t a whole lot of it, but there are some absolute gems out there. A few good places to start if this does sound interesting. Leslie Fish, Vic Tyler and Julia Eckar, are all fantastic filk musicians. The album Carmen Miranadas Ghost (1989) is an amazing mix of humor and serious more traditional sounding sea faring folk music, but set in space, give “Dawsons Christian” a listen, one of my all time favorites. I’d also recommend the album Ten Seconds and Counting. It’s much less sci fi and instead many of the songs tell the stories of real spacefaring people, with some good sci-fi tracks along the way

[@arcsyko]

Listening to Leslie Fish right now, this is awesome, thanks for your comment!

[@Captain_Yogurt]

@@arcsyko nice! Filk is great, always happy to share it!
