Starfield: 5 Things to Do First in New Game Plus
After finishing your first playthrough of Starfield, you can choose to leave your previous life behind and start anew with all the knowledge and experience you gained, but almost nothing else. Unlike other New Game Plus modes, here you start off at essentially zero with just a ship and your wits. No credits, no weapons, aid items, nothing. That makes the first few things you do even more important, as they will set the tone for the rest of your new playthrough. In this guide, we’ll discuss the five most valuable things to accomplish when you start NG+ in Starfield.
Visit the Lodge and Join Constellation
Probably the quickest, easiest, and most time-saving step you can take in Starfield NG+ is to visit the Lodge on New Atlantis and speak with Constellation. Not only will you get some humorous dialog from the security and ship services NPCs, but you can also visit Sarah Morgan and the crew and give them the lowdown about everything you accomplished together before.
You can also choose to either repeat the main story quest or skip it, and we’d recommend skipping it. Sure, you won’t see any other endings or get some of the endgame NPC gear, but you won’t be burdened by the need to follow any particular path. In other words, skipping the main quest lets you play Starfield like any other Bethesda game: go where you want, do what you want, whenever you want, progression be damned.

The ship you start NG+ with is serviceable and looks really cool, but it won’t hold up in a fight against higher-level enemy craft. It also doesn’t have the ability to smuggle contraband, has a small cargo hold, and lacks any in-ship amenities. How you go about getting a new ship is up to you, but I recommend either:
