In the ever-expansive universe of Starfield, players face many challenges, ranging from space combat to diplomatic engagements. Yet, some quests ask you to embrace the art of stealth. One such quest is “The Old Neighborhood,” which sets you on a course toward Venus to examine a satellite without alerting the Va’Ruun Zealots ship cluster you encounter once you reach it.
Let’s delve into the nitty-gritty details of pulling off this space heist, guided by Sarah Morgan from the Constellation organization.
Power Down Your Ship and Go Stealth
The first and foremost part of your mission is going incognito. Your trusted Constellation ally, Sarah Morgan, will advise you on this. Here’s how to go about it:
Navigating the Ship Systems
- Locate the Power Grid: Check the left of your screen for the ship’s power grid.
- Identify Subsystems: Your power grid will show various subsystems like Weapons, Shields, Grav. Drive, and Engines.
Power Management
Use ALT + A or S to switch between the subsystems. Use ALT + W or S to correspondingly turn the power up and down.
Weapons, Grav. Drive, and Shields: Dial down the power of your Weapons, Grav. Drive and Shields to zero. This makes you less detectable to the Zealots.
Engine Management: Reduce your engine power to only 1-2 bars (I was fine with 3 too, but not recommended). This will help you maintain course while minimizing your ship’s exposure.
The Stealthy Approach to the Satellite
After altering your ship’s power configurations, it’s time to approach the satellite cautiously. Hiding behind the asteroids does not seem to be necessary. Ensure that the Zealot ships are nowhere close before initiating your approach. Typically, they are quite far away, so you shouldn’t have an issue.
Maintain Proximity to the Satellite
Maintain Distance: As with docking getting within a 500-meter radius of the satellite and maintaining it is crucial.
Examine and Activate the Satellite: Platform-Specific Instructions
Depending on your gaming setup, here’s how to activate the satellite:
- For PC:
- Hit “E” to target the satellite when you’re within a 500-meter range.
- An Activate prompt will appear. Press “R” to confirm.
- For Xbox:
- Hit “A” to target the satellite.
- Upon the appearance of the “Activate” prompt, hit “X.”
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Problem: Failing to Stay in Stealth Mode
Solution: Double-check your ships power configuration to ensure you’ve dialed down all non-essential systems.
Problem: Unable to Target the Satellite
Solution: Make sure you are within 500 meters of the satellite. If not, re-adjust your ships position.
Wrapping Up
After successfully executing these maneuvers and examining the satellite, you’ll receive updates regarding Moara. Your next step will be to proceed to the Nova Galactic Staryard to look for Moara.
