I have always played RPGs from the good guy perspective - responding to the calls for help to actually help, risking my life for the strangers' wellbeing, having a rigid and perfectly calibrated moral compass, all while being an emotionally complex and multi-layered individual...

Not in Starfield. Once I learned that it is possible to join the pirates, The Crimson Fleet, I knew that this is going to be my first time being an absolute scumbag. I'll pick a backstory, traits, and skills all based around criminal way of life for one, and one purpose - for my own good.

I'm going to be a steel rat of the settled systems, and I salute your devotion to plunder.
