Ground carriers, players on the map to explore, can only be on foot, so there are many players who feel dissatisfied with this, and B society development director Todd recently explained this matter.
It is reported that Todd said in an interview with foreign media PC Gamer:
This is determined by the design, in order to be able to bring players a more immersive game experience, when we created the ground vehicle, the gameplay will change. And in a sense, the player does have an upgradable jetpack and a "car" (your spaceship) that can go wherever you want.But many players do not agree with this interpretation, The foreign media claimed that even Link (The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom protagonist) can create transportation vehicles across the continent of Helalu, and Starfield as a futuristic sci-fi theme of the game, their is no reason not to exist ground vehicle”.
Starfield has no carrier may be because of the Creation engine limitations, Although the game is part of the planet city there is rail transportation, but the player can not directly sit on the train model, this rail transportation can only play a teleportation point These railroads can only serve as teleportation points, so it can be inferred that the improved Creation engine of Starfield still does not support real-time vehicle driving on the ground.
In addition, the lack of roads outside of the cities in the game could be seen as a way for B to save energy, and given the boundaries of the current map of Starfield, the lack of ground vehicles will allow players to focus their exploration on a smaller area.
