GAGARIN – NEW DAWN revitalizes Gagarin Landing with the life, function, and realism it has long lacked — every structure and detail aged by dust, heat, and time to feel truly lived-in.
Gagarin Landing is one of the most underdeveloped settlements in Starfield.
The central hub is nicely built, but everything around it feels rushed and incoherent:
How are containers actually moved to the spaceport?
How are they loaded into ships?
Who manages landings and departures?
Where do the corporate executives live, when all we see is a workers’ district?
… Why is it so empty ?
Gagarin – New Dawn aims to answer these questions and breathe new life into the city.
🟧 FEATURES:
Expanded spaceport activity: a new cargo exit with a loading machine, scattered goods and containers across the landing pads, plus fuel and supply vehicles.
Control tower: fully decorated and weathered, with peeling paint, dust, and heat damage reflecting Gagarin’s harsh climate.
Infrastructure upgrades: a massive water tower to supply the city and cool the factory, radars, defenses, and new control centers.
Corporate housing: proper residences for the executives that everyone keeps mentioning.
Environmental storytelling: small decorations and narrative details, all carefully weathered to look aged by climate and time.
Mission Board: conveniently placed directly on the main landing pad.
REV-8 Nova vehicles: added for immersion (and because you’re not the only one to own a vehicle).
Panoramic screenshot markers: placed at select spots to capture cinematic views of the settlement.
Small hidden treasure: somewhere… can you find it
🟧 New NPCs:
2 Technicians working at the landing pads.
2 Mechanics working in the hangar.
🔶 PERFORMANCE:
Uses only vanilla assets.
Designed to be performance-friendly (no new navmesh, no too much clutters, no heavy scripts).
Nothing is deleted : some elements are either moved outside the cell or simply disabled.
The central hub of Gagarin Landing remains untouched, ensuring that no vanilla quests or activities are broken.
