NG+ skipped Campaign = Missing Constellation Members?

[ChillestBro]

I haven't got "super" into figuring this yet, so it is possible there is an answer for this and I haven't found it yet, but after going to NG+ and skipping the campaign, the only Constellation member I seem to be finding is Sarah, aside from VASCO. There are the other Constellation NPCs at the Lodge, but no others.

On top of that issue is the other aspect of skipping the campaign, which is that the other companions who you would meet, Lin and Andreja, seem to also be missing, but it is possible that I can still find them in their usual starting locations, I don't know.

If any players have had this occur in their NG+ game and had fixed/found those NPCs, I'd love to hear how. :D

So what does it mean exactly when skipping the main quests?
- No companions die
- No quests to boost affinity
- No turning in materials to Noel
- No selling surveys to Vladimir
- No mission for Walter for the Kepler
- No Lin and Heller
- None of the special quests for artifacts
- You cannot get Barret, Sam, or Andreja until after collecting the artifacts.

Do our stats carry over into NG+ such as planet discovery, landings, crafting totals etc? So if we dont have an achievement for those stats in the first playthrough will our stats carry over so we dont start from zero in NG+?

Not doing the main quest makes this game great.
Do WTF you want, recruit crew from bars.
No annoying cowboy ♥♥♥♥♥ where Cole is forced to team with you.
No annoying " thats murder ! " BS from Sarah
No annoying Soulborn ♥♥♥♥♥ ships that drop no loot or cant be boarded every fking 5 minutes

I didn't start the main story until level 75 and I wish now I had never started it.
What an utterly ♥♥♥♥♥ story chain of go fetch and take Ol crybaby companion with you and listen to them talk about ♥♥♥♥♥ every time you load an instance...

Worst thing about Starfield is the awful main story, skip it and the game is great.

Run the UC Vs Pirate chain
Run the Star Ranger chain
Run the Neon chain
Run the side quests

I got over 180 hours worth of content before I started the main story.

This is also forced if you don't go after companion affinity on your previous playthrough too. This is the result:

not cool. this is not an answer to the question. so you didnt like the main story? we (or I) dont care. we want an actual solution

I have found Barret (on vectera) as well as Sarah and Vasco, whom are at the lodge at the start

on the last NG+, when i found barret, at the end, Sam and Andreja were at the lodge and available to be crew. so.. im thinking, they should be able to be found or triggered somehow before then.

welp. i think i found the answer - but why does barret show up before this?

It's simple guys. If you skip the Main Quest in NG+, the 4 main companions ( Sarah will already be there at the start ) will appear at the Lodge once you collect the 6 artifacts listed in the quest.

If you choose to do the Main quest again, you will get the companions just like you did the first play thru.

This game has no replayability

No it just shows your lack of imagination, there is plenty to do even when the quests are completed in the same life...all you have to do is get off your butt and explore a little...creativity also helps (That means take the tools you were given and do something fun with them.

Giving you a list of stuff to do would be a waste of my time, but you don't want things to do, it would take away your "Need for Attention" factor and being held by the hand.

Bethesda is good at something most game developers don't give you, a way to create an alternate life and live it the way you want to live it...there is NO End Game where you WIN...and your done.
