These Are The Best Military And Intelligence Unit Watches Via Watches Of Espionage,Customized Timepieces From Rolex, Breitling, Tudor, Bremont, & Omega In the W.O.E. community, military "unit watches" are at the heart of modern watch culture. A unit watch is a timepiece that is customized by the manufacturer for members of a specific unit or organization. Customizations generally include the unit's insignia on the dial and/or an engraving on the caseback. Unit watches are generally private purchases, paid for by the individual operator, and not issued or purchased by the government.Given our position at W.O.E., I think I can safely say that no one on this planet knows more about unit watches. Whether this is something to be proud of or not, you can decide. Today, we take a look at a few of my favorite unit watches from some of Swiss watchmaking's greatest names.Since I launched W.O.E., I have noticed an uptick in unit watches. What was once reserved primarily for elite aviation and SpecOps units has trickled down to law enforcement, conventional military units, and intelligence organizations. If I can be so arrogant as to suggest it, W.O.E. has had a significant impact in bringing awareness and increasing unit watch adoption. (End Humble Brag - Break)You will notice that most of the watches in this Dispatch come from major Swiss watch brands: IWC, Breitling, Tudor, and Omega. Smaller brands like Christopher Ward, Sangin, Pagoda, Elliot Brown, and many others are making significant headway in this space. We may have to make another list. Stay tuned.US Army Delta Force Breitling SuperoceanStarting off with a bang, in 2009/2010, 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta, AKA Delta Force, commissioned a custom Breitling Superocean. The subtle unit insignia is printed on the dial at nine o'clock, and "Oppressors Beware" is engraved on the side of the case. 50 total were made. In my discussions with operators from the era, these watches were sometimes worn on operations, but they were generally reserved for time off and low-intensity training. Many former operators continue to wear the watches to this day as mementos of their service with the Army's Tier One SpecOps unit.Unit members in the late 2000s experienced some of the most sustained combat of any SpecOps operating in Iraq, Afghanistan, and in other countries as a part of the Global War on Terror (GWOT). The fact that an operator took the time to step back and commemorate this unit with a custom watch is special and indicative of the roles of timepieces as mementos among the military elite. All of the examples of the Delta Breitling we have seen are well worn after years of hard use, the way it should be.Australian SAS Omega SeamasterWe have covered Omega's modern Unit Watch program extensively, but Omega's relationship with intelligence and SOF units goes back decades. In the early 2000s, Omega produced several unit watches for the British Special Air Service (SAS) and Special Boat Service (SBS). By 2012, the Australian SAS wanted in on the action and commissioned an Omega Seamaster with the SAS Winged Dagger over the outline of Australia on the caseback. The case back is also engraved with the member's year of selection, his PMKEYS (regimental number), and "Happy Wanderer", the unit's marching song.The watches were again commissioned in 2016. The first batch could be purchased by both serving and former SASR operators, the latter only by those still serving. According to former SASR operator Andy White, the Omega Seamaster was chosen specifically due to SASR's dive capability and operators spending so much time above and below the water's surface.SGT Diddams MG, a close friend of White, was KIA in Afghanistan in 2012. In January 2021, while his family moved from Melbourne to Perth, his watch, an irreplaceable heirloom, was stolen from their car. It's identical to the one pictured, with the only differences being the selection date and his number: 95/8239384. Please keep an eye out for the watch.Italian "Polipetto" Rolex Sea-DwellerWhen it comes to unit watches, Rolex is the gold standard, having produced some of the most sought-after and collectable references (read expensive). While the British SAS Submariner and Explorer IIs are probably the most well-known, there are several more obscure references, and one of our favorites is the so-called "Polipetto", a customized 16600 Sea-Dweller made for the diving branch of the Polizia di Stato or Italian National Police.Part of the watch's charm is the unit's insignia, a stylized octopus, which is printed on the dial at nine o'clock, along with a custom caseback engraving. Among the most coveted and collectible modern Rolex sport watches, only 78 examples were produced, and of those, only 28 bear the service number of the individual diver on the caseback. In addition, the 16600 is perhaps the last great Sea-Dweller, with a 40mm case, no lame "Rolex" text on the rehaut, an aluminum bezel insert, and even lug holes on some examples. Slap an octopus insignia on there, and it's easy to see how one Polipetto example hammered for 165,100 Swiss Francs (around $207k) in 2024.Canadian Tudor Pelagos 39Tudor is arguably the leader in modern unit watches, having produced customized versions of their tool watch line for everyone from the 75th Ranger Regiment to the US Secret Service Counter Assault Team (CAT, AKA Hawkeye). It is difficult to narrow these down to a "favorite", but for the purposes of this Dispatch, I'm going to go with the custom Pelagos 39 developed for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's Emergency Response Team (ERT).The Royal Canadian Mounted Police's Emergency Response Team (ERT) is Canada's federal tactical unit tasked with CT, high-risk arrests, and hostage rescue, a loose equivalent to FBI's Hostage Rescue Team (HRT).The watch contains an ERT crest on the dial, which represents the original teams consisting of six members and one team leader (7 maple leaves), a Cavalry sword, and a .308 rifle. The coolest part of this watch is the lume; the maple leaves are not lumed, which results in a cool contrast with the rifle and saber standing out. A total of 83 were produced and delivered in early 2025.UK' Special Reconnaissance Regiment' Rolex SubmarinerThere are military watches, and then there are modern legends. This Rolex Submariner, engraved with the insignia of the UK's Special Reconnaissance Regiment (SRR), falls squarely into the latter category. The emblem says it all: a Spartan helmet intersected by a sword, surrounded by smaller Spartan helmets, a nod to a unit that doesn't seek recognition and rarely grants it. This was produced in 2013, and Rolex ceased these unit-specific customizations not long after, handing the torch to Tudor, which continued the tradition of partnering with elite units.Watches like this SRR Submariner and the famed SAS Explorer II are among the last of their kind. Military-commissioned Rolexes with real operational provenance are increasingly rare. Last year, one was auctioned off by Sotheby's for a whopping 36k British pounds, which amounts to over $46k in real money (at the time).Will Rolex ever restart its unit watch program? It's hard to say, but we would love to see it.French Olympic Omega Seamaster Diver 300We have covered the new Omega Seamaster unit watches at length, so we won't beat a dead horse here. There have been some great unit watches developed, many of them not seen by the wider public or posted on social media.That said, there is one that stands out. Omega produced a Seamaster for the three elite French law enforcement units tasked with security for the event: GIGN, RAID, and BRI. This is one of the few examples I have seen of a unit watch developed for three separate units, which makes it stand out.Omega was the official timekeeper of the 2024 Olympics, and while marketing stuff is fun, a GIGN/RAID/BRI unit Seamaster is what really gets us going. Beyond the insignia on the case back, this is effectively the same watch as the one utilized by US Secret Service officers during the recent assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump and a unit-specific model created for the Danish Frogman Corps.US Navy's IWC Top GunWhen it comes to aviation squadron watches, IWC Schaffhausen is king. There are numerous notable IWC squadron watches, but arguably the most well-known is the brand's partnership with the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School (the real TOPGUN). But interestingly, this didn't start as a unit watch, but a commercial endeavor.In 2007, IWC entered a commercial relationship with the US Navy, becoming an official licensee and beginning its line of TOP GUN watches. Featuring the logo of the 1980s hit movie of the same name, the series of watches became a staple of IWC's offerings with licensing fees directly funding morale, welfare, and recreation programs for US sailors, retirees, and their families.This prepared the foundation of a more organic relationship, IWC's foray into custom squadron watches. Having seen watches from the TOP GUN commercial line, pilots from the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School reached out to IWC to investigate the feasibility of making a unit watch for the Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor (SFTI) program.The result was the 2018 release of the IWC's first custom military piece: the Edition 'SFTI' in both a Pilot's Watch Mark XVIII and a Pilot's Watch Chronograph. These exclusive watches continue to be made today, but can only be purchased by TOPGUN graduates, the way it should be.US-Afghan Special Mission Wing BremontThe Special Mission Wing, AKA "the triple seven," was an Afghan unit trained and mentored by Americans for air lift assets, most notably the Russian-built Mi-17. This watch was produced by Bremont for the American servicemen supporting that unit. Bremont's custom unit watch program has produced some unique timepieces for UK, US, and Australian SOF and aviation units, and was a leader until the recent redirection of the company under CEO Davide Cerrato.The insignia at twelve o'clock is taken from the Special Operations Joint Task Force - Afghanistan insignia, while each of the numbers around the dial is representative of the Dari script. The 7 (V) is flanked by two "ghost" 7s representing the 777 Special Mission Wing (VVV). The helicopter is the Mi-17V5, which was purchased by the US government for the Government of Afghanistan and flown by both NATO and Afghan crews. Finally, the Cyrillic underneath the Bremont prop is a Russian transliteration of Bremont and is a tribute to the Russian heritage of the Mi-17.We are big fans of "Arabic dials" (in this case Dari), and this is a cool piece. Unfortunately, the 777 SMW was disbanded after the US pulled out. Many of the pilots made it to freedom, where they are working to get their families out as well.UK Special Air Service Breitling AvengerI have a hypothesis that unit watch culture in the United States Special Operations Forces originated with our cousins across the pond in the UK. In 2003/2004, approximately six years before Delta Force's unit Breitling, the UK's Special Air Service (SAS) ordered a customized unit watch, a Breitling Avenger Seawolf with the SAS insignia at nine o'clock.We spoke with former SAS Melvyn Downes about this piece, who said around 200 were produced. Only serving 22 SAS operators could purchase the watch and all were individually numbered. Some active members of SAS sold them to former members. Given the amount of cross training and deployments between UKSF and Delta, I assess with medium confidence the Delta Breitling was born out of this relationship.French Marine Nationale (MN) Tudor Pelagos FXDIn contrast to many of the watches included here, which are small batch custom versions of core models within each brand's standard civilian catalog, the Tudor Pelagos FXD owes its very existence to an elite military unit. Leaning into a partnership that started in the 1950s, the Commando Hubert, the French Navy's elite maritime special operations unit, asked Tudor to develop a new dive watch for the specific use case of its combat swimmers.With integrated "fixed" lugs and a bidirectional countdown bezel, the Commando Hubert version of the watch has only two lines of text at six o'clock: "Pelagos" and "200m" as well as a unique dive strap and custom caseback. Soon after the watch was created, Tudor released the civilian FXD in 2021 to massive fanfare among the Use Your Tools crowd, with the also-sexy black variant coming in 2023.Over the past couple of years, the Pelagos has become a popular platform for other unit watch projects, but what is even cooler about the FXD is that the watch itself was organically developed for SpecOps end users.US SEAL Team Six Tudor Pelagos FXDWhen Tudor released the "Black FXD" in September 2023, we published a Dispatch on the background of how the original Blue FXD was developed in partnership with SEAL Team Six. While we sought approval to tell the story prior to release, it gained more traction than expected, and we took it down at the request of those involved.Fast forward to today, and the cat is very much out of the bag. The watch has been posted on social media, seen at public events, and even discussed at length by a former member of the Command during a recent episode of the Unsubscribe podcast.Most recently, the watch was seen on the wrist of former Gold Squadron member, Fleet Master Chief Dave Isom, when he took over as the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman (SEAC) of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In contrast to the commercially available version, the Gold Squadron FXD has a simpler "two-line" dial with "PELAGOS" executed in gold and "660 ft". Most visibly, the hook and loop strap boasts a gold center stripe, in contrast to the regular red stripe. Each squadron has its own version with the squadron insignia on the caseback. Very cool.Final Thoughts - Should You Collect These Watches?Decades from now, the individuals who earned these watches will have all moved on in their lives and into retirement, and their unit watches will be among the few lasting, and wearable, reminders of their service. What makes these timepieces special is that they can't be bought; they must be earned.That said, inevitably, some unit watches do end up at auction, fetching upwards of $30-50k on the open market in many cases. Watches that were originally designed and intended as keepsakes for a select few can now be purchased by the highest bidder.While it is unfortunate that some practitioners choose to part with these meaningful timepieces, I also understand that life circumstances change, and the astronomical secondary market pricing can be irresistible. That said, it is a shame that those practitioner's great-grandchildren won't be able to treasure the watches worn by their ancestors.For collectors, I understand the attraction, but I also think it is a little bit strange to wear a modern watch like this that you have no direct relationship with. No, I wouldn't go as far as to say it is "stolen valor," but there is something about it that just doesn't feel right. From a collector's standpoint, there is a difference in my mind between new "unit watches" and vintage military-issued watches. As the decades roll on, maybe my feelings will change.For me, when a watch like this comes up for auction, the life is sucked out of it. I am naive about the auction world, but from the outside looking in, it appears to be champagne and cocaine, a part of the watch industry I just don't relate to. The fact that an earned watch can be acquired by the highest bidder, who almost certainly isn't the kind of person who would have earned the watch in the first place, just doesn't pass the smell test.That said, I believe in the basic principles of capitalism and do not fault anyone involved. We see the world as it is, not as we feel it should be.* * * Seperate, but awesome.... . . Tyler DurdenThu, 07/31/2025 - 22:35

Battlefield 2042 introduced the Portal map creation tools to the franchise. But later this year, Battlefield 6 will take things even further with an overhauled map-creation toolset for the upcoming shooter. Now, DICE and EA have shared a video that offers a brief glimpse at the new Portal mode and what it's bringing to the table. The new Portal mode allows players to build, share, and play their custom maps with more options than ever before. One of the new tools is a spatial editor powered by Godot that gives creators the chance to spatially edit maps and move around preexisting elements at will. Portal also includes custom and AI scripting that lets players create unique UI and direct NPC combatants on their battlefields. Any experience made with Portal will be available to other players through the community section.Portal will also include modifiers that let players change the rules of the game. That includes the ability to set up one-shot kills, closed weapons, and many others. More intriguingly, player progression and XP gain are fully enabled during Portal mode.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The best Starfield mods smooth over the rough edges of Bethesda's space game by adding new ways to play, better methods for managing things, and more interesting ways to use its mechanics. Starfield isn't even two years old, but the mod scene is filled with creations that alter combat, improve stealth, provide more options for building, and offer solutions for some of the game's persisting bugs. There's even one that built an entire Star Wars game inside Starfield, because why not?We've sorted through the lot and picked out 22 of the best Starfield mods to improve your game.Like with most mods, these only work for Starfield for PC, specifically the Steam version. You cannot install Starfield mods on the Windows or PC Game Pass version. If you're after something fresh and new on consoles instead, check out our picks for the best PS5 games and best Xbox Series X|S games to play in 2025. Or if you like modding, check out the best total-conversion mods. 60 FPS - Smooth UICreator: FuzzlesDownload link: NexusModsStarfield's UI is locked to 30fps, which might sound like a non-issue for menus, but it applies to things like ship navigation as well. If you ever wondered why things seem a bit jittery when you're flying compared to when you're exploring on foot, that's why. This mod is a simple one that pushes the framerate to 60fps, and there's a 120fps version as well, if you want to take it further. Starfield FOVCreator: Hellstorm102Download link: NexusModsYou can technically change Starfield's field-of-vision using methods similar to those outlined in this mod. That involves creating a text file and inputting a handful of specific lines to manually adjust the FOV, since Starfield has no in-game slider for it. However, the mod removes some of the additional steps and makes the process a bit less intimidating for those who aren't used to tinkering with game files. StarUI InventoryCreator: m8r98a4f2Download link: NexusModsStarfield's inventory interface isn't exactly the easiest to parse on PC, which is where StarUI Inventory comes in. This Starfield mod lets you sort columns more easily and actually see what you have in your cargo and ship storage and includes an option to move entire categories of items from cargo to inventory with a single click. That's useful for item management, of course, but also for quickly selling off items you don't need, so you can clear cargo space more efficiently. Legendary ShipsCreator: Vitamink45Download link: NexusModsIf you hoped you could eventually add the three legendary ships to your collection of Starfield's best ships, now you can. This mod lets you add the Va'ruun Shroudbearer, Ecliptic Battleship Shroudbearer, and Space Scavenger Blattodea to your fleet, albeit for a price. You'll still have to purchase them from the New Atlantis Ship Builder, so you may want to take advantage of Starfield's money glitch to pad your wallet first. Mod creator Vitamink45 also recommends using a small collection of other mods to help keep the game from crashing when you dock at a space station with one of these ships, since they aren't designed to handle these behemoths. These include Save Unfinished Ships, TN's Ship Building, and CCR Flight Camera. Star Wars Blasters and MeleeCreator: CrozzbowDownload link: NexusModsIt was only a matter of time before someone decided Starfield needed more Star Wars in it. Star Wars Blasters and Melee replaces every weapon in Starfield--except the Cutter, which is only sort of a weapon anyway--with a counterpart from the Star Wars universe. Everything from Imperial assault rifles to Rebel pistols is here, along with some less instantly recognizable pieces, such as a fork-nozzled blaster that resembles a harpoon more than anything else.If Destiny is the space world you prefer, there's a mod that does the same thing, but makes it Destiny-flavored. Star Wars GenesisCreator: DeityVengyDownload link: NexusModsFor even more Star Wars, there's Star Wars Genesis from DeityVengy. This mod adds conflict between Imperial and Rebel factions, who now attack members of the opposing faction on site; Star Wars-themed cities and settlements; ships from Star Wars; new factions; Jedi Force powers; more planets and unique biomes--it's almost an entire game built in Starfield. The mod includes its own story quests and side quests. You can play as a droid. It even fixes some known, lingering bugs in the base game. As if that's not enough, the mod maker regularly updates it with more features and plans to continue expanding. Constellation CollectionCreator: 2077v2Download link: NexusModsThe Constellation Collection bundles over a dozen mods to help make Starfield pretty much whatever you want it to be. There's a set of difficulty modifiers, one that changes how often legendary-grade items drop, and a package of alterations to things like NPC behavior, including how often they blink and their uncanny ability to identify and greet you from a long way off. You can own more ships, customize photo mode, change enemy combat behavior--and that's barely scratching the surface. The collection is massive, and you can choose which packs or individual mods you want to download and install or just get everything. Starfield Combat OverhaulCreator: matr0xDownload link: NexusModsCombat Overhaul focuses on improving health scaling and how skills, weapons, and crew members behave. The idea behind it is that the current scaling system makes weapons too powerful and gives characters an unnatural amount of health to compensate. Battles feel too easy or last too long as a result, with no happy middle ground. Combat Overhaul lowers health pools, while balancing power for weapons based on their type and rarity grade to make each encounter feel more intense, like a dangerous situation where you have to strategize instead of just lobbing shots at the same enemy for five minutes until they die. Improved Combat AICreator: Ixion XVIIDownload link: NexusModsAnother essential battle mod that works well with Combat Overhaul is Improved Combat AI. This one adjusts how opponents behave in battles by making them more aggressive, but also smarter about it. Don't expect some more schmuck with a knife to come charging at you, a rifle-wielding space warrior, from across a big room anymore. Enemies use cover strategically, take advantage of their weapons more often, remember how to use grenades, and generally aim more effectively as well. Starfield HD OverhaulCreator: luxor8071Download link: NexusModsStarfield HD Overhaul is the Starfield equivalent of the Cyberpunk 2077 mod and Witcher 3 mod that improve almost every texture in the game. Like those mods, this one also includes textures at 4K resolution, with a few at 8K, and does so with minimal additional VRAM requirements. If you can run the game as it is, luxor8071 says you can run Starfield HD Overhaul without issue. The improvements apply to the Shattered Space expansion as well, though bear in mind there are a few things the mod doesn't touch, including weapon textures, armor, and planets. The creator said they felt these areas didn't need improvements. Effect Textures EnhancedCreator: Weijiesen - Team EVEDownload link: NexusModsSpeaking of improvements, this mod focuses on improving the quality of smaller effects, things such as the blaze from a gun when you fire it, blood, lasers, lightning, and even Starfield's rather odd-looking fire. It's a small Starfield mod compared to something like Improved Combat AI, but it helps improve all the little interactions and animations that seem slightly off-kilter in the vanilla game. Royal WeathersCreator: JaeDL – Starborn Royalty KnightsDownload link: NexusModsRoyal Weathers is a sweeping overhaul to Starfield's weather system. It unlocks the limit Bethesda put on certain locations, where they could only have one or two weather events maximum, while adding new weather events and making transitions between them more natural. It's all built around logic as well, with weather effects that fit their locations--no rainstorms on barren moons without an atmosphere, for example. The creator included some optional texture packs that improve how certain weather events look as well, all of which are compatible with almost every other Starfield mod. Add Spaceship To Your FleetCreator: BledingueDownload link: NexusModsLike the name suggests, this ship mod lets you just outright add ships to your fleet when you capture them. Normally, you have to go through a few extra steps by designating a captured vessel as your home ship--not a game-ruining problem, sure, but one that feels like a waste of time, especially if you capture ships a lot. Stroud Premium EditionCreator: Vince134Download link: NexusModsThis Starfield mod is for the ship builders and outer space homemakers. It adds more than 50 new, unique habitations for your home ship, including a suite designed specifically with the needs of your Constellation mates in mind. It's a thoughtful mod that takes different ship sizes and preferences into consideration, with mess halls, living quarters, and other units in several configuration sizes, including 1x1, 2x1, and 3x1 units, along with a set of utility modules. Just make sure you leave New Atlantis before installing the mod, or Starfield won't integrate it properly. Ship Builder Tolerance TweaksCreator: keanuWheezeDownload link: NexusModsOn the subject of shipbuilding, Tolerance Tweaks makes adding new modules so much less of a nightmare. Starfield's default handling of unit overlap is quite strict, which makes fitting pieces together and ending up with a build you like more challenging than it needs to be. This mod loosens those restrictions and gives you more grace to have your ship modules touching and even overlapping slightly, making for an easier build and a more natural-looking finished result. No Reactor LimitCreator: LordGregoryDownload link: NexusModsYour ship build depends on the power of your reactor, though Starfield limits how many reactors you can have in each ship. The idea is to push you toward improving your piloting skill and getting higher-class reactors, but the limitations are still annoying to work around, particularly in the early game. This mod lets you put as many reactors as you want or need on your ship. The end result might be an unwieldy nightmare, but hey, at least it's a fully-powered unwieldy nightmare. Betamax's Outpost FrameworkCreator: Betamax76Download link: NexusModsBetamax's Outpost Framework is like Stroud Premium Edition, but for outposts, and it adds so much to Starfield's building. You've got the usual things, like new habitat styles, landing pads, and other big inclusions, along with smaller additions that make creating much easier. Hallways with doors, higher height limits, items that snap properly when you try positioning them, doors and windows designed for specific habitations--and that's just part of the mod's feature list. It also lets you include new pieces that make your space outpost feel more thematically appropriate, such as radar dishes for scan boosting, generators, and trade terminals. Easy DigipickCreator: Ixion XVIIDownload link: NexusModsThis one does what it says on the package, and that's all it needs to be. Starfield's digipick lockpicking is notoriously challenging to get through, and Easy Digipick makes understanding what's required of you much simpler. The base version still requires you to invest in the digipick perk to improve your chances of success, though it also includes a feature that lets you instantly gain ranks in that perk. Synthlight's No Limit ModsCreator: SynthlightDownload link: NexusModsFor this entry, we're going to be highlighting an entire collection of mods from creator Synthlight. This creator has taken it upon themselves to remove just about every restriction from Starfield. They have mods for removing all limits of every ship part, giving you complete freedom over what goes on your ship and how much of that part you can add on. If you're tired of seeing the red error messages whenever you're in the ship builder in Starfield, then just take a look at Synthlight's collection of mods. Improved Follower BehaviorCreator: Deebz96Download link: NexusModsFollowers play a key role in your Starfield experience, as they provide you with combat and dialogue assistance as well as help keep you immersed as you're traveling across planet after planet. However, by default, followers in Starfield can be a little difficult to deal with. To make them more responsive to your in-game actions, you can download the Improved Follower Behavior mod. This mod adds a number of improvements to the reactions and behaviors of any follower you currently have in your party. You'll see followers stay closer to you, engage with enemies when you need them to, and stop acting on their own accord, among other things. Royal GalaxyCreator: JaeDLDownload link: NexusModsThe Royal Galaxy mod is an entire rework of Starfield's basic mechanics. The mod starts by patching in bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements, but amps things up from there. With the mod downloaded, you can expect stronger enemies with increased spawns and more diverse weather, encounters, and locations across the entire map. The mod essentially bundles over 50 mods into one, giving you an entirely new experience. One of the most notable aspects of the mod is that it makes Starfield a more challenging RPG in every way, including interactions with vendors, enemies, and even finding Credits to spend. B.A.S.E. - Building Advanced Space EncampmentsCreator: LuxZgDownload link: NexusModsLet's face it, base building isn't Starfield's strongest suit. The outpost system doesn't work nearly as well as it does in a game like Fallout 4, as you don't have access to a ton of structures to build with. The mechanics of base building itself are also difficult, as you can only use pre-fabs that you have to manually place and connect yourself. Fortunately, the B.A.S.E. mod changes everything about base building. The mod completely overhauls base building, adding in individual building items instead of the pre-fabs. You can now use walls, roofs, foundations, ceilings, and more to create the true outer space base of your dreams in Starfield. Also, these building items all snap together, which is the cherry on top for any long-suffering base builder in the Settled Systems.
