A recent discovery on the Starfield subreddit has revealed an alternative route for players to become pirates in the game. Instead of going undercover as part of UC SysDef, players can now join the Crimson Fleet legitimately. This new questline offers a more rewarding and engaging experience for those seeking the pirate life.
The traditional path to piracy in Starfield involves working undercover and double-crossing various groups. While some players enjoy the thrill of espionage, others find it tedious and unfulfilling. However, this new option allows players to skip the undercover missions and join the Crimson Fleet directly.
To embark on this alternative questline, players can either choose the UC Vanguard questline or decline Commander Ikande’s offer after being arrested. By refusing to work with UC SysDef, players will be tasked with finding the Crimson Fleet on their own. Eventually, someone from the fleet will reach out and offer them a genuine opportunity to join.
According to players who have taken this path, the questline progresses similarly to the undercover route, but without the need to constantly report back to UC SysDef. This makes it a more appealing choice for those who want to fully embrace the pirate lifestyle.
However, not all players are convinced that becoming a pirate is the best option. Some enjoy the thrill of being undercover and relish the opportunity to triple-cross SysDef at the end. For them, watching the discomfort of Commander Ikande and his colleagues is worth enduring the spy missions.
Others simply don’t find the pirate life enjoyable. They criticize the other missions that involve killing friendly Crimson Fleet pirates or find the Fleet missions themselves to be dull. Stealing from merchants is not as exciting as they had hoped. Some players have even decided to start a new game and avoid becoming a pirate altogether.
It’s clear that the option to join the Crimson Fleet legitimately has divided players. While some appreciate the freedom it offers, others prefer the undercover route or simply don’t enjoy the pirate lifestyle. Ultimately, the choice is yours in Starfield.
