Starfield is a massive game with lots of systems and a massive amount of area to cover. I thought it would be nice to share useful information as a community. So what is your secret best spot to find medpacks? What skill was more useful than you thought? What thing did you not learn about until you were 15 hours in, that you wished you learned a lot sooner?

My valuable tip: resist the temptation to play on the cloud. It's frustrating to the point that I put the game down until I can afford a Series X. My PC won't run it, and my One X can only play cloud, and it's just so damned unreliable with constant lag spikes.
Are you playing wired or wireless? A wired connection may help with connectivity if you're currently on WiFi.
Wired Internet would help to fix the Cloud issue. I can reliably play XCloud games on PC, Series X, and Mobile on my WiFi 6 connection, and even on 5G with my phone, but YMMV.
I don't have access to wired internet where I am. I have a 5G household wifi hotspot at ~100 Mbps, and it has actually worked great for a lot of other games. I play Hardspace: Shipbreaker and Everspace 2 on it without issue. I'm not really sure what the specifics are, but I've had issues every time I've played Starfield. I went from Everspace 2 without issues to Starfield playing like a Vaseline smeared slideshow and right back to Everspace 2 with no issues, so I suspect it may be related to something about this specific game, or massive coincidence. I get occasional hiccups in other games, rarely. Starfield has been pervasive lag issues without fail.
At that point I'd just chalk it up to Starfield being very hard to run so whatever server runs Starfield over XCloud is being heavily taxed.
