Starfield Grav 79 Hovercraft Vehicle Paid Mod Is It Worth It (XBOX/PC)

[@FP194]

Crimson I can’t thank you enough for trying these paid mods and giving an honest review so we can make a better decision on buying them

[@StevenRiley-o6c]

gives me matrix vibes with the hover pods under vehicle nice looks great excellent review crimsonflyboy

[@renaigh]

I like that it looks like a modification of the Rev-8. As for the infinite boost, they could make it so you have to refuel.

[@SneezingEagle]

New sub here! Really appreciate you taking the time to review paid mods, I've never paid for mods in the past so being able to see what I'm getting is really useful. Cheers

Was excited to see you doing a review on this mod I've been looking at especially given it was done by Zone. But after watching your review...excited...not as much. It is just because the hover mechanism just doesn't seem to be what I was hoping for. That is I wanted to see the normal distance from the bottom of the vehicle to ground level have a higher starting level. As is you are still going to have to deal with a lot of obstacles. Which doesn't really offer any more than standard "rovers". I would love to see a feature where you can set a custom height from ground for normal cruising. That is what I would spend money on. I see this as not a failure of the mod but more a limitation of the Bethesda game engine. Hopefully one of our incredibly gifted modders like Zone will figure that out! Until then, I'll pass. Thx for the review on this CFB.

Zone did most of his mods for free, people who truly support him will buy his mods. He is on modding scene since the start, same as me.

Coffee time. Cool. Great review and video. Thanks for sharing.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

To make a true hover vehicle you'd probably have to do some interesting coding along the z-axis, set the vehicle to want to maintain a minimum distance from the ground, having it gently ascend until that distance is reached. It would function a bit like how water works in the game: there is stuff under the surface, obviously, but your character just floats to the top and stays there.

[@briancowan4318]

Thanks to @Zone79 for the mad and @Crimson for the commentary. I noticed at time 3:29 the characters clothes changed from ‘street clothes’ to armor. Is this a bug in the game?

[@CrimsonFlyboy]

That's soo strange, I've never noticed that before. I don't even know what would trigger it to swap over to the space suit

[@terryfaugno9242]

Game engine wonkiness due to it not initially detecting you were in an area that's not breathable. I see it regularly with companions when I'm exploring a POI or a dungeon where I enter a building with an airlock and then leave, they'll hide their spacesuit when they enter, and then when they follow me out after I exit the building via the airlock, they'll still have their spacesuit invisible.

[@DavidHolden15911855]

I tried this mod, and it works with Shades Vehicle Tuner for the Rev-8, so that includes a cargo storage area, and all the other goodies. I do agree that it needs a method of controlling the thrust so it hovers, instead of FULL ON FULL OFF

[@Ridingharleys]

I've been using it no issues. Series x 215 mods

[@N7-alpha]

Looks like the hover tech from the movie The Matrix.

[@JesseJamison-f6i]

It's definitely pretty cool

[@2Aknight762]

My problem with all the land vehicles is you cant shut them off once you buy one. If you have a 40M long ship with front facing bay, the rover constantly crashes with landing pad structures. The ring of swiftness makes all the rovers obsolete. A constant on jetpack would be great.

[@WishKeySour]

I got this, its fantastic

[@surlyunicorn9461]

Is anyone else having issues with updating a mod and the game suddenly identifies it as a completely different mod as opposed to just an update? Then you get the dreaded missing content message. I understand that sometimes a mod author will change a mod purposely and will warn players that the update will be considered a new ID so you should only update it you’re planning a new play through, but this has now happened to me 3 times with 3 different mods. Honestly, I’ve had nothing but trouble with the update system for mods on Starfield as compared to Skyrim or Fallout 4. They fixed the mods not updating but now there’s this. I tend to start over a lot anyway because of mod combo experimentation, but this is getting frustrating and makes me not want to update anything because I never know when it will happen. I’m on an Xbox X so there is no option to revert to a previous version.

[@EddieGonzalez]

A little critical feedback here. This was not a good test because you only took it on one planet. Ice sliding, low gravity, and extremely mountainous areas are where the RAV-8 it's really weak. I do appreciate your mod reviews, but I don't think that you take the time to do a testing plan and to write a script for what you are doing. If you do this, the videos will be of higher quality, and you'll get a higher reach.

[@CrimsonFlyboy]

I understand where you're coming from, and I mean no disrespect to the mod author, but it's just a rover re skin. It doesn't have any new handling mechanics or features aside from unlimited boost, so it's going to perform exactly like the base version of the rover would.

[@nicholaslopez4170]

Did you try the Star wars one?

[@fiveaclock2549]

Honestly I haven’t bought or used the rev-8 at all in my game, I hate how it just spawns next to your ship, kills the immersion, tiny ship and there a rover next to it…. How? I wish they had it where it was a hanger bay that you had to attach to your ship to use the rev-8 instead of it just spawning next to it, It shows to me that Bethesda is once again just half assing their game…. Again Can you even turn off the rev-8 or is it once you buy it it’ll permanently spawn next to every ship?

[@wolfhistory1891]

Fleet commander It doesn't work for me, I have 5 ships, 2 classes C and 3 B, is there anything that can be done?

[@CrimsonFlyboy]

Do you have the perk needed

[@wolfhistory1891]

Which perk are you referring to?

[@CrimsonFlyboy]

Ship command, I believe, the one tied to more crew capacity

[@Blpnokosher]

Does it turn achievements off?

[@CrimsonFlyboy]

Yes, all mods not made BT bethesda disable achievements

[@anthemite3176]

@@CrimsonFlyboyas of the latest update this one is mod friendly

[@curtiscreations2024]

its a reskin of the rev8, doesnt look like it is much different and i find it rather appalling that they are charging for this

[@StefanHighlights-InquisitorOvh]

All rev-8 mods are reskins of rev-8. Either by adding in game meshes or importing meshes from sites like sketchfab or wherever. No difference.

[@xzentric101]

There is another mod that does the exact same things, adds a new flying vehicle with infinite boost and it’s free. No need to pay for this janky stuff

[@LouisPAuthor]

EVERY SINGLE SPACESUIT IN THIS GAME IS UGLY AF!!!! WHY!!!!!!???????

[@dachshund_gaming]

The Navigator suit, Deepseeker suit (esp paired with the Mantis helmet), Constellation suit, Bounty Hunter suit, and Ranger suit are all super detailed 10/10 designs. Go download those edgy cyberpunk suit mods if nasapunk isn’t your thing…

[@LouisPAuthor]

@dachshund_gaming please don't attempt to tell me what to do. I said what I said. You go do it. All that s*** ugly

[@Tenebrous227]

Seat belts?

[@CrimsonFlyboy]

Where were going we don't need seat belts

[@arcticfox3243]

Another low effort cash grab mod. Other wise great review.

[@Avalarian_Tea_Drinker]

It’s awful…. Lol

[@cordeliacentauri1737]

This is trash for a paid mod. Even that fallout 4 call warthog mod is better than this and it's free.

[@andymehmet8206]

Looks like a lazy reskin and that's worthy as a paid mod realty Bethesda another cash grab
