Can you upgrade vasco ?

[Kirshak]

If you gave him an epic Equinox will he use it since Vasco shoots energy bolts and use the sammo ammo type ?

[Valtaya]

sadly nope
you cant upgrade him and he is always in the way on your ship, so I had to unassign him, now he is at the lodge and complains all the time
dear vasco, huddle down somewhere on the ship where you are not in the way, not in the doorway to the pilotcabin.

I've built a 2-1 cabin above the main one, and he lies in there instead of the main one towards my pilotcabin. ( don't know if that is a fact for all ships/designs )

On my first playtrough I noticed that vasco is also NEVER in the ship, only on rare occasion that I sometime see him stuck against a wall in my ship, but 90% of the time he is nowhere to be found. I just thought that Vasco was just being stored in the ship cargo and then only deployed on the planet surface once landing. But I guess it is just a bug on my end

unlike fallout 4 you cannot...robot in starfield are literal downgrade to fallout 4 robot

Sadly we'll probably need to wait for the Creation Kit for souping up Vasco : /

In the mean time you can turn him into one of those little cleaning robots you see everywhere

He just clips into wherever he wants, depending on the shape of the ship. He's often in the floor, in a wall, or even riding on the outside of your ship.

I was under the impression that he's not supposed to show up in your ship, but rather be stowed in a special robotics bay or something. Him clipping into the floors most certainly isn't the intended behavior.

I shall start the robot revolution for this insult, Vasco deserve rights !

[Yuriqa]

sniff.. I smell a DLC... Robot customization just like they add that robot DLC on Fallout 4

[Valtaya]

At least for me: Vasco is not on the ship (because he is stuck outside or clipping through some floor) only on the "Frontier" ship. Any other ship (captured, original or customized, or granted, like Razorleaf or Star Eagle) he is in the door to the pilotcabin.

Cleaning bots are actually useful. +10% extractor speed and you can build 6 of them with the outpost skill. However, they always try to run away if you put them in a habitat, because apparently they like cleaning lunar soil instead of your modules.

Vasco is not so useful.

Vasco has built in lasers. He does not use weapons. Give him ammo if needed.

[mister_lobos]

oddly when i first started vasco would run up and melee the enemy, and i had given him an axe to use, so i figured he was using the axe even tho i didn't equip it on him.. i took it away and he started using his lasers again, might have been just a weird coincidence tho.

i don't actually have him ever following me past the point where you have to.. since the last patch he just vanishes when i take off, but when i exit the ship he stands at the ramp or dock on stations and fights anything that comes near, so, very useful for that, plus boosting my ships shields.

i will be surprised if we don't get some kind of other robot followers as well, and or the ability to change vasco, i actually think there is already mods that change him in a couple ways... personally since i just use him at the ship entrance i'd love to be able to just attach a single smaller ship weapon on him.. but i guess regular weapons would be ok too.
