Man, this is one clunky game. I'll get used to it again, but coming back to it after a year, it's really noticeable how bad the UI is.
Yeah, agreed.
At least there is a map in the cities now. When did that get added? Is it new, or an update since I last played? (11 months ago)
Edit: I must have quit during the Ryujin quest-lines, after I finished the MQ and then went back to an earlier save to mop up some stuff. I have no idea how to start the DLC, but first I think I'll finish these off. Seem to be enjoyable enough.

The city map(s) is part of an update they did after launch. It's my first time seeing it.
I had to laugh, though. It's so bad. It looks aesthetically better than the weird blobs we had originally, but it's useless. You can barely zoom into it, and trying shunts you off to the side. The only possible use is for fast travel after you've "discovered" fast travel points. For navigation, forget it.
What's so clunky about it? I haven't noticed - may very well be the result of me not paying attention.
I agree that the map isn't good.

Being "too" forgiving would more or less imply that you're on the hunt, looking for flaws to judge on everything you do, even when it comes to your own entertainment; such a grim and sad way to go around life. I rather think you are appreciative and thankful, which is a lovely trait to have!
I'll check this one out sometime too, though not high in my priority list at the moment.

I'm finishing up loose ends in Last of Us, then I'll be playing another short horror game, and THEN I'll be doing a replay of Starfield with Shattered Space... I have my character ready to dive in.

Thanks. Wrong choice of words. I think my English is fairly good, but when it comes to the finer details of the language, quite naturally something will be missing.
What I meant to say is that I tend to overlook flaws that others notice. Like the clunky UI - I can't remember any game (except Gothic 1) where I found the UI clunky (I suppose there were some - but I don't remember them). And I didn't notice any flaws in combat in Morrowind, Ultima 7, Fallout 3 and 4 - games where many criticize that particular aspect. And so on.
I'm very good at ignoring things.

Hmm..I see the negative review bombing continues with the DLC. As most Steam reviews for this DLC are not even about the DLC. Can't say I'm surprised.
Unfortunately, DLCs are even easier to review-bomb because anyone can leave a review as long as they own the base game.

Yeah, skimming the front page I saw two reviews that specifically say they don't have (or haven't played) Shattered Space, but they wanted to leave a negative review anyway because they "hate Starfield".
Seems like nothing they do will please the rabid fan-base.

Meaning they did everything they could? It doesn't sound like a very ambitious expansion. Short and limited. Andreja, the ex-Va'ruun, doesn't even have unique dialogue during the expansion, apparently. Bethesda is lazy as hell these days.Seems like nothing they do will please the rabid fan-base.

I'll form my own opinion about it...eventually... but there are things I'm hearing that don't sound like baseless sour grapes.
I couldn't care less about user-reviews or click-bait articles based on them.
That said, I never expected a whole lot from Shattered Space, and I got it for free, so...

Starfield Next DLC Expansion Will Continue Constellation's Storyline - Rumor
The next Starfield DLC expansion, which could be named Starborn, may provide a proper continuation to the Constellation storyline

I still haven't started the DLC, but I am being reminded what I got sick of in the original game.
Lack of rich exploration. Lots of area loading and fast travel. No point not using fast travel, due to the lack of rich exploration.
I'll be disappointed if there isn't any special dialogue for Andreja (as per @JFarrell71). She's my current companion specifically because I thought she would, what with being Va'ruun and all. Oh well.
My spaceship is now a veritable behemoth with masses of space for storing stuff. My packrat side approves!

I can't confirm any of this, but there's chatter that some of Andreja's dialogue is bugged and won't show up if you have the Leadership perk. Make of that what you will.
Haven't had a chance to play the DLC as I restarted another run. I usually stuck with Sarah, but did my second playthrough with Andreja's, and was disappointed.
Personally I still enjoy the game despite millions saying otherwise.
