If you're wearing two pieces of Chameleon armor (helmet and suit for example) when you're crouching you can steal anything without anyone saying anything. Occasionally you'll get a bounty, but you probably weren't 100% still before snagging the item. The only time this doesn't work is if you can't reach the item from a crouched position and there's nothing to stand on to get some more height.
Tried this with stealth 4 and it had less than ideal results. Don't get me wrong it did help but not much, and not worth replacing a better headpiece etc just for the charmeleon
@@michealvincent731 really? I'm just talking about stealing from stores. You put the Chameleon pieces on, crouch down, wait for the meter to return to hidden, and then steal. Repeat as desired. I wouldn't bother with this for combat situations. Also until you get Concealment your Chameleon armor will be worse while sneaking than being armorless for combat situations. Once you take Concealment armor weight doesn't affect stealth anymore.

On that last tip, get just outside of the deadzone surrounding the settlement that prevents dropping a colony there and drop it on that line. It's probably in visible walking distance to settlement buildings and is as close as it comes to moving in, so you won't lose it.
If you want to prevent a ship from taking off after landing and releasing it's landing party, instead of killing the party... knock one out with an EM weapon and you can just take your time getting back to the ship and raiding it.
@@oprime I assume a Nova Disruptor works well enough because it is one of the few weapons, alongside the Mag Sniper, that can hold a charged shot before firing. Most people hit by the charged shot get dropped in a hurry. Otherwise, maybe check if there is an EM mod for the Orion, since its twin bolts might help stack EM damage.
Better - just ignore the landing party, rush to the door and board ! Every second counts ! Once you are inside, they won't follow you - you just need to deal with the crew. I got most frustrating experiences with such tasty ships, when, after you run like a mad man to get there, you lose time in a shooting with the landed guys and when you're done, the ship is taking off.... Now I learned the "pro" way: 1 - When you hear the roar above, equip the weapon with the best scope ( I use a Hard Kill with a 6,5 scope) 2 - look at the ship when is getting near the landing spot using the scope - if is small, or is not black or dark green, ignore that one - usually is a cheap civilian ship not worth your time, or is a yellow UC ship with the dude inside repairing, 3 - BUT if you see a big one dark green or black, you hit the jackpot ! Do a fast save - then - Run as fast as you can , ignore the landed NPCs, go straight to the door and enter the ship. If you managed that, you almost got her. You can get as much as 50-60k on such a ship.
Have you ever had one take off while you inside the ship? I somehow got inside and it took off to space. While I was fighting the game was lagging like crazy and I ended up dying and didn’t get a save when I entered the ship. I wonder how that would have played out if I survived.
I’m absolutely in love with the idea of sitting in a casino, looking over and seeing a guy looking around suspiciously as he uses a plate to push credsticks into a garbage can in view of everyone, locks eyes with me, then all of a sudden I NEED to run outside.
Another thing you can do with the random Igloo symbol vender is once you find them, go just far enough away that you can put down an outpost marker. Then even if you don't build a outpost there if will make the location as an outpost and you can just come back to your outpost and the vender will be right there. This works best on planets with resources you actually want. Save first then land in a location you want to build an outpost on if there isn't an Igloo symbol vender in the area, reload and try again. Eventually you will get one, then put down your outpost and use the vender whenever you want to.
Yeah but you gotta spend a lot of points in a certain skill tree to be ableto lay an outpost on Venus as it's harsh environment, but so annoying to get points in this game. Wondering if you make an outpost near the igloo on Venus with that special vendor, will you still be able to land anywhere on Venus multiple times, and still be near that vendor next to your outpost?
I farm levels at serpentis, just pull up to the planets or moons and enemy ships will turn up and fight you with well rested bonus you can level up within one run stopping everywhere! If you are having issues defeating them just load in on very hard and change to easy when they spawn! Hope that helps
@@deusvlad2.083 ahh I didn't think of that. I usually do bessal 3b or whatever. It's not as good timewise it's like 1 hour to 57 UT so still good. And you can do it right away. It lets you get nickel, iron, cobalt, and aluminum.

You can overload your ships cargo any time you want and use it as storage hog. Land somewhere you can upgrade your ship. Go inside and drop whatever you want stored on the floor. Go modify a part, a cheap weapon swap or something, save the change and all your dropped items will be transferred to cargo. Only downside is you can't loot space kills other than weightless stuff.
Well, with only 1-2 points on payload skill, you can build a 6-7k of cargo but have in fact 10-12k available ! Have a crew member with payload skills helps even more. Put some 3 Poseidon 230 on that baby and you will cruise as a boss at 100-110, with a 75-80 mobility, armed to the teeth, AND with a mountain of stuff on your cargo... You have plenty of room to loot any space kill, ALL you need to build full equipped outposts, AND enough spare room to load / sell those 3-4000 units of Tier IV minerals from your money making outpost.
Starborn ability called Phased Time is SO MUCH BETTER than Aurora or the drink. Slows time more, and no negative effects. Plus, it can be leveled up with each NG+
This is a trick that I use that I've never seen mentioned before by anyone. It involves encumbrance and this can be done at any level. If you are out gathering items and become encumbered, find a small critter, kill it and transfer as many items to it that it will take. Then pick it up and walk (run or hop) at a normal pace back to your ship. If you come across enemies drop the body and fight normally, then pick the body up again. Be aware that some bodies may disappear taking your items with it, so don't leave them unatended too long. Trick/Tip 2) If there is a guard standing in view of something that you want to steal, you can bump him to move him to another position and then go behind him and talk to him he will generally remain in that position with his back to whatever you wanted to steal.
@@joeyallen6960 Like you would drag a person's body. Click & hold, then drag or in this case raise the body off the ground. If it's large (like a person), you can only move at a walk, but a small body like a Trilodite allows you to move at a normal pace even run. They may have terminated this fast movent in a recent update. I used to do it in Skyrim with chickens.
Every level of NG+ you can gain two levels of parallel self power. One by getting the temple from vladimir, the other by doing Barretts personal mission.
If you drop your gear and resources in your ship, you can then do a minor upgrade like adding a pot hole for 450 credits and all the gear you just dropped will be added to your ships cargo. This works when your cargo is full.
Also, you can loot starborn if you are fast enough. use the phased time ability, get close to them and kill them while looking at them this opens the looting window for a few seconds, spam action button and you loot them before they disappear
For removing the stolen tag on well, the stolen items, there is another easier way to clear them, and that is by selling the stolen items to a vendor and buying them back immediately, it'll be the same cost, but will lose the red tag. It's more interesting this way too cuz it is basically laundering lmao.
One thing i found out is that no matter how far you are from your ship, if you want to transfer items from your ship to your character just sell that item to a trader from your ship and buy it back, this transfers that item to your character and not back to your ship Also you have to wait 48 hrs in UT time and not local time. So as long as your wait says 48 hrs UT or more you can replenish trader credits. For instance in new atlantis you just have to wait 24 hrs local time as it is 50 hrs UT to replenish.
Hey it’s universal time that resets everything. The local time is what you have to physically wait for. Some places have a much longer day night cycle so when you wait there more time passes elsewhere.
@@naits95 it’s an interesting system. But time should be constant. It doesn’t make logical sense that if you spend an hour on one planet more or less time would pass somewhere else. But hey I will use the system to my advantage.
@@aceplaysgamesnetwork9566 yeah i agree, i think its done this way for the QoL-part. I mean, if your character sleeps for 200h they dead as fuck IRL. All time passing through wait and sleep should be universal time. It’s what makes sense.
Lol I also have a 1.5million credit bounty with the Crimson Fleet. One thing about the stealing from the vendor in The Well, is that if you don’t have the manipulation skill, you can hide behind areas and steal what’s nearby while out of sight, but the vendor will immediately head your way to check on you. You can also open the weapon box on the table near his desk to give you coverage as you steal from the weapon wall.
The Novablast Disruptor (The one EM-based rifle) also has this charge mechanic just like the Magsniper, making upgraded sneak attack builds capable of instantly knocking out most NPCs in the game with one shot, especially while running one with the Instigating effect (Double damage when target is at full health)
Most weapon venders in the game that have ammo on display have free ammo displayed in their cases that are overlapped with the ammo that is considered stealing to take you just need to take it easy hovering over the ammo cases to find the free ones underneath them! I have grabbed hundreds of rounds of ammo for free in these shops and none of it is considered stealing because it is free overlapped ammo placed in the cases. And I have also found over time it seems to be eventually replaced SLOWLY and you can go back and grab more no steeling free overlapped ammo!
Also just a tip with shops if you have alot to sell but they dont have enough buy up as much ammo as you feel be necessary to sell them all your items that are heavy ammo has no weight so you stock up the shop keeper with a bit of cash then sell all items you want to sell then boom you got free ammo
I landed in 37 different locations on Venus and never located a POI with a igloo icon. I even walked about a bit in the last ten landings to see if there was any beyond my ships landing area of site.
I love last hint. To get somewhat good vendor you must land on Venus ~20 times, pray to RNG and then use unintended differences between personal wait times and global clocks. Good work, Todd!
The vendor only has 5000 credits. That's a terrible use of 100 in game hours. If you truly can't stand just waiting 48 UC hours in Neon (yeah, that 24 seems awfully long sometimes), you're better off just popping to an outpost or landing zone on Venus, resting 1 hour, and then fast traveling back to a now restocked Neon. Unless you're playing on a potato, two load screens should be faster than waiting 48 hours.
I find just playing normally you still get more gear to sell than what vendors have credit for, so much time wasted just sitting in a chair for vendors to restock credit...and then there's nothing to spend all that credit you build up.
this is a fantastic video, a LOT more than 13 useful things that most people don’t know in here. i’ve played over 300 hours on xbox and hadn’t figured out how to use the physics system for example lol.
Yeah, the using triggers to reposition held items *forehead slap* why didn't I know that earlier?? lol the 'trickshoting' of items on the table, GENIUS!
I prefer Bessel III over Venus. I have an outpost that produces both iron and aluminum in a single spot. Every 1hr is 50. It fills my storage so I can craft a tone of adaptive frames for exp then sell them at the store I found the same way.
In my opinion VA'RUUN Particle beam rifle is the most overpowered weapon in the game. Especially if you fully upgrade with mods. No enemy or terramorph can stand against it.
Try making your outpost on Bessel 3b. It's a level 10 moon, has many resources but primarily AL and FE for initial base materials, requires no levels in Planetary Habitation, is not far from Sol and Alpha, and best of all 1 hour local is 55 hours UT. Take a cat nap every time you visit, like after every mission to dump resources or craft, and you rest all vendors. Feels real natural vs flying a billion miles to Venus for a cat nap.
Bessel III-b also has a civilian outpost and a 57:1 timescale, so you can do it there. It's not extreme, and you can mine adaptive frames and isomagnets to your heart's content with one outpost.
Aurora is in deed a waste of time. However, if you want to high jack a starborn ship, you need to use Aurora and blend together to get into place at the ships door in order to get in.
Aurora can be found outside of Neon City. I came across some pirates at a facility on a bounty mission. I was there to kill just 1 named pirate. Killed him but decided to investigate and sweep the entire facility for fun. Found a room that had almost two dozen Aurora scattered around the room. I just laughed 😂to self thinking, damn these pirates are all junkies! My second tip seems a little complicated to explain and it involves Contraband. I only discovered this by happenstance. It seems if you have Contraband on you the player and ut may extend to ship inventory, but I can only speak for the player since I didn’t test it with ship. But it seems if contraband on player you can’t exactly immediately fast travel jump to a security planet you’ve been to before. I was in Femi System after taking over two Varuun ships and had a bunch of Contraband. I was then later trying to ship jump back to Jemison and realized I couldn’t. I forget I had contraband on self. I then noticed all the travel jump areas in Jemison was all light grayed out, thought it seemed weird as the travel jump areas usually had a white background with the text. It was only them I thought and remembered I had contraband and likely a security check prevented me from jumping straight to the lodge on Jemison. So I jumped to The Den to sell all my contraband. But that’s how I stumbled onto that tip purely by accident. Now if that extend to the ship your on which I don’t know, then it can be a way to just test check if you have contraband on a stolen ship you haven’t completely sweeped for contraband. I will test this myself later but that’s one the best tip I’ve stumbled on myself and haven’t heard anywhere.
If you have contraband (and a nav point just outside of the city you want to land at ie the empty nest near Akila is one that opens up naturally in the game, when you get Sam. However, for New Atlantis you might have to get just far enough from the city to place an outpost and make a landing pad there, just make sure you can 'see' the city from your outpost as the square you land in is randomly generated otherwise) you can travel there before the scan initiates when orbiting than all you have to do is waltz on into town contraband in hand xD The scan only authorizes you to land in the city, otherwise they don't care what you do. edit: yup, I just tested this xD a bit of a walk from the empty nest, you may need to use your ground map or note where ships are headed. I ran to the tallest hill and you can see it from there. Anyway it works! Happy smugglin'! after running around the city you'll notice the ship is still at the empty nest :( but all you need to do (put a quicksave down cuz it can sometimes be bugged!) is go to the ship technician and choose your ship. You don't have to do anything with it, just choose your ship to upgrade or ship build or w/e than cancel! than your ship should be at the pad it usually is at.
Man this game is wild. Its krazy how much stuff u can involve urself in that has nothing to do with u having to complete the game. Like ship building isnt necessary but ive gotten deep into it. I just got my pent house in new Atlantis. I already had some materials saved up to atleast put a bed in my house, a few sofas, chairs, paintings, posters, etc. But now im.hell bent on getting my house decked out
@@SusannaSaunders one of the spaceborn powers you can unlock in the game slows time... after enough NG+ its cheap to cast and can be maintained basically infinitely so time is slow as long as you want it to be slow for no cost at all. you unlock this power when you go into NG+ and it lasts longer everytime you finish NG+ up to 10 times... after 10 times it can basically be upkept permanently for as long as you want it to last... no one can touch you and you can dodge bullets so you essentially cannot be defeated.
Awesome!@@arcanumelite4853 Thank you so much for explaining this! Sounds great! I'm still unlocking these skills and haven't found that one yet! But looking forward to it! ☺
Here's a tip I never hear from ANYONE. Basically EVERY container you find outside of civilization is going to have an UNLIMITED limit. so if you have the looting bug just find the closes container to the door and drop your stuff in there! Lol also confusing local time with universal time....
3 sets of Chameleon armor would make you an OP stealth character. If you're detected just stand up and crouch again, enemies will lose sight of you even if you literally in front of them lol.
i love the plate and trash can. But sometimes it's pointless to have a quest, like steal something, when all you do is crouch and crack the safe when the person is sitting 2 feet away, and we should be in peripheral vision. But it's a game.
The problem is not that vendors don't have enough money, the problem is that players keep taking everything they see to sell it for credits they don't even need. I don't take ANYTHING that I'm not going to use, not even ammo, and even this way I have far more credits than I'd ever need. But people keep accumulating ridiculous amounts of money and complaining it's "hard" to get more, like if it was gonna have any real impact in the game. That something is there doesn't mean you have to take it, you know
THIS....I have well over 2 million credits and haven't used any exploits to get them. That's after buying a Narwahl and rinsing all vendors of all there resources so they have more credits to sell all my guns and trash loot too. Now I don't pickup anything unless it is valued over 15k , wastes tons of time.
SLEEP TO LEVEL UP FAST. Sleep for 1 hour and look at your health status. You will get +10 % XP for 25 mins. Sleep anytime you find a bed or a sleeping bag. Sleeping before entering a battle will give you a whole lot of XP to level up. You can also drink certain types of coffee to get a +1% level up.
Great tips . Where did you get that Magsniper ? . That’s a beast of a weapon . I have an advanced one with just half that PHY after i fully modded it .
I just wish there was a legit (non modded) way to increase the amount of credits vendors have. Kinda goofy to run through a few locations, end up with hundreds of pounds of guns.. then most vendors can only pay out like 5k. Where some weapons are worth more than that to start with. Hate having to sit, wait, do it again for a couple k. I found a few that have like 11k, but this is also pittance. You'd think the trade authority would have considerably more. And the kiosk's having only 5k at major city landing sites.. wth? =/
"There are so many things that the game never tells you." The game tells you nothing. If it weren't for videos on UA-cam, I wouldn't know how to play the game at all.
The vendor on Venus is pretty much not useful in the long run. Especially if you have a ton of high value items. 5K from the vendor goes by on a single sell and then you turn around. Sit. Wait. Wash, rinse, repeat ad nauseum. Just do the Crimson fleet quest and take your loot to the Key. Many NPCs with a lot more credits to dispense for your looted stuff. Most inventory sold off much quicker. If you still want to use Venus....build an outpost beacon near the settlement so you don't lose the landing site. Just fast travel to the beacon then to the settlement.
Regarding the last tips. Not all iglos are a setlment like inn the video. Some are crashlandet scientists, some are Mercenarys outpost, and some are farming vilages. The farming vilage dont seam to restock its credits when you sell to em. Not evven after 50 local houers. Going to keep looking though.
List of what I found so far: 1. crashed scientist that need help with a hostage situation, 2. Farming community white a seller that don't restock credits, 3. A Bounty hunter that needs help with a pirate base, 4. A dead mercenarie outpost.
I very much doubt it. I don't think they take stolen goods let alone contraband. Best to go to The Den space station in the Wolf system and sell it at the Trading Authority there.
I have chameleon helm/armor when I try to steal from some vendors, although I need to pay attention on the 'hidden' bar and my companion because sometimes they complain Thanks for this video
It’d you want the best money loop. Go to the ass end of the systems and go after high level enemies. You get more Xp per kill and advance models of most weapons. The best weapon vender is in New Atlantis called Centurion Arsenal, for the money loop.
You only need to wait 48 UT hours so on new jemison you can simply wait 24 local hours which is 50 UT hours and the vendors will re spaw their inventory and creds
The Trade Authority in the Well has 11,000 credits. So you wait a tiny bit longer than on Venus but get to sell double the amount. Still takes a lot of time, 2 - 3 hours play = 1 hour loot selling. Definitely the part of the game that I don't like. Why make a system like that? Ruins the fun having to wait so long to sell off your loots.
Got a better Starfield secret? Tell us below and I might use it in my next video!

Well, with only 1-2 points on payload skill, you can build a 6-7k of cargo but have in fact 10-12k available ! Have a crew member with payload skills helps even more. Put some 3 Poseidon 230 on that baby and you will cruise as a boss at 100-110, with a 75-80 mobility, armed to the teeth, AND with a mountain of stuff on your cargo... You have plenty of room to loot any space kill, ALL you need to build full equipped outposts, AND enough spare room to load / sell those 3-4000 units of Tier IV minerals from your money making outpost.
Starborn ability called Phased Time is SO MUCH BETTER than Aurora or the drink. Slows time more, and no negative effects. Plus, it can be leveled up with each NG+
Unless like for me, phased time is bugged such that it lasts forever.
This is a trick that I use that I've never seen mentioned before by anyone. It involves encumbrance and this can be done at any level. If you are out gathering items and become encumbered, find a small critter, kill it and transfer as many items to it that it will take. Then pick it up and walk (run or hop) at a normal pace back to your ship. If you come across enemies drop the body and fight normally, then pick the body up again. Be aware that some bodies may disappear taking your items with it, so don't leave them unatended too long.
Trick/Tip 2) If there is a guard standing in view of something that you want to steal, you can bump him to move him to another position and then go behind him and talk to him he will generally remain in that position with his back to whatever you wanted to steal.
Whoa wait one sec how the hell do you pick up bodies lol
@@joeyallen6960 Like you would drag a person's body. Click & hold, then drag or in this case raise the body off the ground. If it's large (like a person), you can only move at a walk, but a small body like a Trilodite allows you to move at a normal pace even run. They may have terminated this fast movent in a recent update. I used to do it in Skyrim with chickens.
Brilliant. Thank you for *both* of these lol
Every level of NG+ you can gain two levels of parallel self power. One by getting the temple from vladimir, the other by doing Barretts personal mission.
right during the intro when you were shoveling in the credstiks into a trashcan had me cracking up🤣 like dont mind me just gonna do this real quick
If you drop your gear and resources in your ship, you can then do a minor upgrade like adding a pot hole for 450 credits and all the gear you just dropped will be added to your ships cargo. This works when your cargo is full.
I’m pretty sure those items disappear. I did that with a weight set and then I customized my ship and they were no more.
@@logicrules5793 yup, because they moved to the cargo hold. My cargo hold it currently 5900/2500 lol
Changing the colour of the ship is enough.
Also, you can loot starborn if you are fast enough. use the phased time ability, get close to them and kill them while looking at them this opens the looting window for a few seconds, spam action button and you loot them before they disappear
😮What kind of goodies can they give you?
@@logicrules5793 mostly weapons. So far all white. But none so far what they are using 🤣
30 seconds that's all I need 😂
The invisibility skill is better than manipulate.
This is true
manipulate is fun too tho, can have others lockpick for you, even works on master locks.
For removing the stolen tag on well, the stolen items, there is another easier way to clear them, and that is by selling the stolen items to a vendor and buying them back immediately, it'll be the same cost, but will lose the red tag. It's more interesting this way too cuz it is basically laundering lmao.
One thing i found out is that no matter how far you are from your ship, if you want to transfer items from your ship to your character just sell that item to a trader from your ship and buy it back, this transfers that item to your character and not back to your ship
Also you have to wait 48 hrs in UT time and not local time. So as long as your wait says 48 hrs UT or more you can replenish trader credits. For instance in new atlantis you just have to wait 24 hrs local time as it is 50 hrs UT to replenish.
A big thanks to blend for sponsoring this video...
Hey it’s universal time that resets everything. The local time is what you have to physically wait for. Some places have a much longer day night cycle so when you wait there more time passes elsewhere.
i wanna sleep for 200 hours like my character does on some planets 😮💨
@@naits95 it’s an interesting system. But time should be constant. It doesn’t make logical sense that if you spend an hour on one planet more or less time would pass somewhere else. But hey I will use the system to my advantage.
@@aceplaysgamesnetwork9566 yeah i agree, i think its done this way for the QoL-part. I mean, if your character sleeps for 200h they dead as fuck IRL.
All time passing through wait and sleep should be universal time. It’s what makes sense.
The Nova Disruptor EM rifle also has the charge shot mechanic.
Lol I also have a 1.5million credit bounty with the Crimson Fleet.
One thing about the stealing from the vendor in The Well, is that if you don’t have the manipulation skill, you can hide behind areas and steal what’s nearby while out of sight, but the vendor will immediately head your way to check on you. You can also open the weapon box on the table near his desk to give you coverage as you steal from the weapon wall.
The Novablast Disruptor (The one EM-based rifle) also has this charge mechanic just like the Magsniper, making upgraded sneak attack builds capable of instantly knocking out most NPCs in the game with one shot, especially while running one with the Instigating effect (Double damage when target is at full health)
If you get addicted to chems in the game go buy the stem Junk Flush from any clinic in the game to remove the addiction
Most weapon venders in the game that have ammo on display have free ammo displayed in their cases that are overlapped with the ammo that is considered stealing to take you just need to take it easy hovering over the ammo cases to find the free ones underneath them! I have grabbed hundreds of rounds of ammo for free in these shops and none of it is considered stealing because it is free overlapped ammo placed in the cases. And I have also found over time it seems to be eventually replaced SLOWLY and you can go back and grab more no steeling free overlapped ammo!
Watching you steal the credits off of that table is probably the best thing I’ve seen from this game lol
Also just a tip with shops if you have alot to sell but they dont have enough buy up as much ammo as you feel be necessary to sell them all your items that are heavy ammo has no weight so you stock up the shop keeper with a bit of cash then sell all items you want to sell then boom you got free ammo
There is so much about this game I don't know. 😂 Great video
That "grab" of the credit sticks from the poker table was D.I.R.T.Y.! 😂😁🤟
Bethesda, Bethesda never changes. Still able to use the same tricks in Starfield like you can in Fallout or Elder Scrolls.
I mean... That's not always a bad thing
I landed in 37 different locations on Venus and never located a POI with a igloo icon. I even walked about a bit in the last ten landings to see if there was any beyond my ships landing area of site.
great to learn that physics based/line of sight crime still works.
I love last hint. To get somewhat good vendor you must land on Venus ~20 times, pray to RNG and then use unintended differences between personal wait times and global clocks.
Good work, Todd!
The vendor only has 5000 credits. That's a terrible use of 100 in game hours. If you truly can't stand just waiting 48 UC hours in Neon (yeah, that 24 seems awfully long sometimes), you're better off just popping to an outpost or landing zone on Venus, resting 1 hour, and then fast traveling back to a now restocked Neon.
Unless you're playing on a potato, two load screens should be faster than waiting 48 hours.
I find just playing normally you still get more gear to sell than what vendors have credit for, so much time wasted just sitting in a chair for vendors to restock credit...and then there's nothing to spend all that credit you build up.
this is a fantastic video, a LOT more than 13 useful things that most people don’t know in here. i’ve played over 300 hours on xbox and hadn’t figured out how to use the physics system for example lol.
Yeah, the using triggers to reposition held items *forehead slap* why didn't I know that earlier?? lol the 'trickshoting' of items on the table, GENIUS!
I prefer Bessel III over Venus. I have an outpost that produces both iron and aluminum in a single spot. Every 1hr is 50. It fills my storage so I can craft a tone of adaptive frames for exp then sell them at the store I found the same way.
The em rifle also charges up if you hold down the trigger completely knocking out your target in one shot most times
In my opinion VA'RUUN Particle beam rifle is the most overpowered weapon in the game. Especially if you fully upgrade with mods. No enemy or terramorph can stand against it.
I have heard that it only starts appearing from level 50 upwards. Is that right?
@@AlanHillinsights I got mine @lvl 39 i guess.
That 1mil CF bounty though 😮
Try making your outpost on Bessel 3b. It's a level 10 moon, has many resources but primarily AL and FE for initial base materials, requires no levels in Planetary Habitation, is not far from Sol and Alpha, and best of all 1 hour local is 55 hours UT.
Take a cat nap every time you visit, like after every mission to dump resources or craft, and you rest all vendors. Feels real natural vs flying a billion miles to Venus for a cat nap.
Bessel III-b also has a civilian outpost and a 57:1 timescale, so you can do it there. It's not extreme, and you can mine adaptive frames and isomagnets to your heart's content with one outpost.
Glad I found this video great tips on easy money and XP "mining" lol
Aurora is in deed a waste of time. However, if you want to high jack a starborn ship, you need to use Aurora and blend together to get into place at the ships door in order to get in.
Aurora can be found outside of Neon City. I came across some pirates at a facility on a bounty mission. I was there to kill just 1 named pirate. Killed him but decided to investigate and sweep the entire facility for fun. Found a room that had almost two dozen Aurora scattered around the room. I just laughed 😂to self thinking, damn these pirates are all junkies! My second tip seems a little complicated to explain and it involves Contraband. I only discovered this by happenstance. It seems if you have Contraband on you the player and ut may extend to ship inventory, but I can only speak for the player since I didn’t test it with ship. But it seems if contraband on player you can’t exactly immediately fast travel jump to a security planet you’ve been to before.
I was in Femi System after taking over two Varuun ships and had a bunch of Contraband. I was then later trying to ship jump back to Jemison and realized I couldn’t. I forget I had contraband on self. I then noticed all the travel jump areas in Jemison was all light grayed out, thought it seemed weird as the travel jump areas usually had a white background with the text. It was only them I thought and remembered I had contraband and likely a security check prevented me from jumping straight to the lodge on Jemison. So I jumped to The Den to sell all my contraband. But that’s how I stumbled onto that tip purely by accident. Now if that extend to the ship your on which I don’t know, then it can be a way to just test check if you have contraband on a stolen ship you haven’t completely sweeped for contraband. I will test this myself later but that’s one the best tip I’ve stumbled on myself and haven’t heard anywhere.
If you have contraband (and a nav point just outside of the city you want to land at ie the empty nest near Akila is one that opens up naturally in the game, when you get Sam. However, for New Atlantis you might have to get just far enough from the city to place an outpost and make a landing pad there, just make sure you can 'see' the city from your outpost as the square you land in is randomly generated otherwise) you can travel there before the scan initiates when orbiting than all you have to do is waltz on into town contraband in hand xD The scan only authorizes you to land in the city, otherwise they don't care what you do.
edit: yup, I just tested this xD a bit of a walk from the empty nest, you may need to use your ground map or note where ships are headed. I ran to the tallest hill and you can see it from there. Anyway it works! Happy smugglin'!
after running around the city you'll notice the ship is still at the empty nest :( but all you need to do (put a quicksave down cuz it can sometimes be bugged!) is go to the ship technician and choose your ship. You don't have to do anything with it, just choose your ship to upgrade or ship build or w/e than cancel! than your ship should be at the pad it usually is at.
Learn something new every day...I suspect new things will be found years from now ( from periodic updates ala NMS hopefully )
2 things I was arrested for: touching a soccer ball in Akila and touching a trash can in the bathroom of the luxury cruise liner.
Man this game is wild. Its krazy how much stuff u can involve urself in that has nothing to do with u having to complete the game. Like ship building isnt necessary but ive gotten deep into it. I just got my pent house in new Atlantis. I already had some materials saved up to atleast put a bed in my house, a few sofas, chairs, paintings, posters, etc. But now im.hell bent on getting my house decked out
There is a power that slows down time, and isn't illegal or costs money.
Looks like they have Argos catalogue in starfield, can you buy really mundane stuff from their shop?
Just wear two pieces of chameleon armor to steal ANYTHING right in front of ANYONE
why use a drink to slow time when you can just use space magic to slow time much better and for no cost...
Care to explain that comment? 🤔
@@SusannaSaunders one of the spaceborn powers you can unlock in the game slows time... after enough NG+ its cheap to cast and can be maintained basically infinitely so time is slow as long as you want it to be slow for no cost at all.
you unlock this power when you go into NG+ and it lasts longer everytime you finish NG+ up to 10 times... after 10 times it can basically be upkept permanently for as long as you want it to last... no one can touch you and you can dodge bullets so you essentially cannot be defeated.
Awesome!@@arcanumelite4853 Thank you so much for explaining this! Sounds great! I'm still unlocking these skills and haven't found that one yet! But looking forward to it! ☺
Gagarin is even better for buying resources. The resource vendor is within 250m of the landing pad. You can buy from him and transfer without moving.
Here's a tip I never hear from ANYONE. Basically EVERY container you find outside of civilization is going to have an UNLIMITED limit. so if you have the looting bug just find the closes container to the door and drop your stuff in there!
Lol also confusing local time with universal time....
em guns also have a power up fire mode, one shot knocking out almost every one, especially from first shot or stealth
The transfer to cargo is crazy thank u boss
Been rocking a mechanized weapon holstered suit since early game and keep using it over mantis even with trash stats cause carry weight is so broken
3 sets of Chameleon armor would make you an OP stealth character. If you're detected just stand up and crouch again, enemies will lose sight of you even if you literally in front of them lol.
i love the plate and trash can.
But sometimes it's pointless to have a quest, like steal something, when all you do is crouch and crack the safe when the person is sitting 2 feet away, and we should be in peripheral vision.
But it's a game.
The problem is not that vendors don't have enough money, the problem is that players keep taking everything they see to sell it for credits they don't even need. I don't take ANYTHING that I'm not going to use, not even ammo, and even this way I have far more credits than I'd ever need. But people keep accumulating ridiculous amounts of money and complaining it's "hard" to get more, like if it was gonna have any real impact in the game. That something is there doesn't mean you have to take it, you know
THIS....I have well over 2 million credits and haven't used any exploits to get them. That's after buying a Narwahl and rinsing all vendors of all there resources so they have more credits to sell all my guns and trash loot too. Now I don't pickup anything unless it is valued over 15k , wastes tons of time.
From what I have experienced picking up any given weapon will usually give you as many rounds as make up one magazine worth of ammo.
SLEEP TO LEVEL UP FAST.
Sleep for 1 hour and look at your health status.
You will get +10 % XP for 25 mins.
Sleep anytime you find a bed or a sleeping bag.
Sleeping before entering a battle will give you a whole lot of XP to level up. You can also drink certain types of coffee to get a +1% level up.
Great tips . Where did you get that Magsniper ? . That’s a beast of a weapon . I have an advanced one with just half that PHY after i fully modded it .
I just wish there was a legit (non modded) way to increase the amount of credits vendors have. Kinda goofy to run through a few locations, end up with hundreds of pounds of guns.. then most vendors can only pay out like 5k. Where some weapons are worth more than that to start with. Hate having to sit, wait, do it again for a couple k. I found a few that have like 11k, but this is also pittance. You'd think the trade authority would have considerably more. And the kiosk's having only 5k at major city landing sites.. wth? =/
Wow I’ve been using the magsniper rifle for months and didn’t know it’s got a secondary fire.
"There are so many things that the game never tells you." The game tells you nothing. If it weren't for videos on UA-cam, I wouldn't know how to play the game at all.
The vendor on Venus is pretty much not useful in the long run. Especially if you have a ton of high value items. 5K from the vendor goes by on a single sell and then you turn around. Sit. Wait. Wash, rinse, repeat ad nauseum. Just do the Crimson fleet quest and take your loot to the Key. Many NPCs with a lot more credits to dispense for your looted stuff. Most inventory sold off much quicker. If you still want to use Venus....build an outpost beacon near the settlement so you don't lose the landing site. Just fast travel to the beacon then to the settlement.
Space era, and the weapon modifications still need a glue(sealant) 🤣. I hope, i don't need to grew up a corn etc to make it!
Well shoot, I’ve played over 60 hours and never figured this stuff out.
Crimson fleet is the best place to unload
Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much Hack the Minotaur!!
2:43 Ah, a fellow player who regretted joining Crimson Fleet and still enjoys ganking them I see
The he settlement on Bose is a good alternative to the Venus vendor
This is some next level shannanigans 😆
Didn't even knew get ammo from their guns. I always picked up every weapon just for selling.
To use aroura for crafting, buy it in neon then find a crafting station. Use it there, then dump/consume what's left before leaving
Add an outpost near the store to never lose it. You can then make a storage site with link and send your auto printer items here to sell😊
Regarding the last tips. Not all iglos are a setlment like inn the video. Some are crashlandet scientists, some are Mercenarys outpost, and some are farming vilages. The farming vilage dont seam to restock its credits when you sell to em. Not evven after 50 local houers. Going to keep looking though.
List of what I found so far: 1. crashed scientist that need help with a hostage situation, 2. Farming community white a seller that don't restock credits, 3. A Bounty hunter that needs help with a pirate base, 4. A dead mercenarie outpost.
15:00 just build an outpost near the settlement and it won’t disappear

Excellent video, thanks man. Question, Can you sell contraband at the settlement on venus.
I very much doubt it. I don't think they take stolen goods let alone contraband. Best to go to The Den space station in the Wolf system and sell it at the Trading Authority there.
I have chameleon helm/armor when I try to steal from some vendors, although I need to pay attention on the 'hidden' bar and my companion because sometimes they complain

Disruptor and rivet guns can both be charged.
It’d you want the best money loop. Go to the ass end of the systems and go after high level enemies. You get more Xp per kill and advance models of most weapons.
The best weapon vender is in New Atlantis called Centurion Arsenal, for the money loop.

Absolutely I do it all the time lol
No point unless you use mods to keep your inventory once you do a new game plus you lose everything anyway
You could just use void form to steal things one at a time too.
Did anyone else notice that the SSNN reporter looks like Piper from Fallout 4. Is that an Easter egg?
You can also click and charge the disruptors if memory serves right.
You only need to wait 48 UT hours so on new jemison you can simply wait 24 local hours which is 50 UT hours and the vendors will re spaw their inventory and creds
The Trade Authority in the Well has 11,000 credits. So you wait a tiny bit longer than on Venus but get to sell double the amount. Still takes a lot of time, 2 - 3 hours play = 1 hour loot selling.
Definitely the part of the game that I don't like. Why make a system like that? Ruins the fun having to wait so long to sell off your loots.
