    Captains! I forgot to mention:
    If you haven't built the Vulcan and would prefer to just build the Krakatoa from the start, you can now skip the part gathering phases thanks to the Darkstar Astrodynamics mod. You'll still need to follow the requirements of the Vulcan build, but you can save some credits by completing your entire build at the DarkStar Terminus.
    Vulcan build start point: ua-cam.com/video/P8gZuCWZAho/v-deo.htmlsi=VaWzwBoCm1i2FpwP&t=1075
    Once you have that built, without leaving the builder, come back to the start of this build and make the changes that I made.
    XBOX PLAYERS: There does not appear to be a mod available to you that lets you increase equipped weapons. Instead, use the same weapons as the Omen (6x Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojectors, 3x Exterminator 95MeV Auto Helion Beams, and 6x Vanguard Hellfire Autocannons) and instead of using DarkStar's class B shield, use the class C shield that requires 12 power. Doing this will allow you to fully power your 5 primary systems completely, and whatever you have leftover from crew and skills can just be dedicated to your grav drive.
    I know your offensive capability will be slightly reduced, but at least you can trade that for extra defense.
    Why do I use those weapons? Very useful complete weapon performance spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dud8L8FQwQ8IpsJnjFyE4vgoQm1wrlHRVtoyY8L8bR4/edit?gid=1282393#gid=1282393

      You’re right, other than the weapon limit mod I’m using, there are equivalent mods on Xbox for everything else. Also you can just run the class C darkstar shield for some extra defense to make up for the reduced weapon count.

      The weapon limit is pretty easy to get around, there are a few other mods I use that add stronger weapons. I just have to do a bit of math to check which one is best in terms of dmg/fire rate
      As for the class c darkstar shield… I have a mod that lets you add a shield that counts as a structural piece. It adds 1400 shield on its own and is stackable so no worries on that end

    Man, this ship is crazy awesome! Also, many older ships, from Ancient Egypt up until the early 20th century had devices similar to the "battering ram" part you have and they were just called "rams" or "rostra" in Roman times. In fact, in the original War of the Worlds book by H. G. Wells, three tripods were destroyed by an Ironclad Torpedo Ram by the name of HMS Thunderchild which torpedoed 2 of the tripods that entered the water in pursuit of the refugee ship & then used the ram to take out the third after sustaining fatal damage from the tripods' heat rays. So long story short, your ship is upholding a 3000 year old shipbuilding tradition.
    Also, IMO stuff like the expanded flips & place doors mods should have been in the base game from the start....

      The only mod that has no equivalent on Xbox is the one that removes the weapon maximum power restriction. You can still do everything else on Xbox, but instead of the class B DarkStar shield that I use, you should choose the class C one. It requires 12 power, and with 60 reactor power you can power all 5 of your ship’s important systems. So you’re trading a bit of offense for MUCH more defense. Nearly double in fact. I wouldn’t call that a bad compromise at all.

  • @drshoots101

    Hay I noticed there is extra hook points like on the daimos hull A and the daimos skeg.
    On xbox that I know of we don't have a mod that adds this feature.
    The better ship part flipping mod adds more hook point like you see on the daimos skeg but only for the peices that in the unoriginal way. The standard daimos skeg that connects on the bottom only has a hook point on top and that's it.

      That deimos spine that’s attached to the hull A is attached to the center snap point on the deimos hull, not one of those additional ones. You guys SHOULD have the snap point on the back of the Deimos Spines if you’re using better snap and flip. But also, you don’t need to place that second deimos spine to build the battering ram, that was just what I used to mount a couple of weapons in there.

      I have a couple of ships already that are relevant to this suggestion...
      First on is the Bristleback. It's not at maximum mass but it is as heavy as I could achieve while still equipping weapons and a shield. I could have removed engines down to one, but...
      The Slab is an absolute maximum mass, module limit, cargo hauler build that has no shields, or weapons, and only has one engine. With mods I could add weapons to it as I could now bypass the vanilla module limit, and I may make an update to that ship in the future.

    There are (currently) two items not available at the Terminus: the vanilla Comspike and Conduction Grid which you can get on the Key. I assume this is the case because the Dark Star mod can't know if you have access to the Key or not. It makes sense that if you don't have that access, you should not be able to get them via the Terminus either. So that is one extra shopping stop before you start building. But still an enormous improvement over having to shop all over the galaxy as before. 🙂

    • @WizeOldWizard
      @WizeOldWizard  6 місяців тому +1

      I wouldn’t see this as a challenge, per se, but more so just a self-imposed limitation. Sticking to a single manufacturer is extremely limiting in terms of the shapes that can be achieved, and there’s no real reason to use only one manufacturer.
      Even when using all the available parts, they all have specific ways of flipping and snapping and as such, I’m going to be employing the use of mods to expand the possibilities rather than limit myself even more than the vanilla game already does.
      I appreciate the suggestion though, and thank you for watching!

    Salutations Captain Wizard !
    I am an xbox player.
    So far I have built the Basilisk and Vulcan using your excellent ship build guides - thankyou and keep up the great work, very much appreciated.
    Since the Creations update dropped I have downloaded Dark Star's Astrodymamics mod [awesome piece of work] and wanted to update the Vulcan as per your Krakatoa guide.
    I have managed to get around the max ship modules issue with the Xbox Creations Ship Builder Tweaks mod and have updated the Vulcan accordingly re addition of cargo, windows and the replacement of the connecting tunnel link with the second viewable internal feature.
    Not sure when the left hand side hatch on the second deck was replaced with the ugly fridge malarkey stuff but it was definately there when I first built the Vulcan prior to the Creations update.
    I am aware that I will need the Ship Module Snap (and Flip) Expansion mod to complete the 'battering ram' feature at the front of the ship, seems weird that the Skeg B module does not have an attach point on the very front end of the Skeg in the vanilla game so that the Skeg C module can be attached directly to it.
    I assume that the Ship Module Snap (and Flip) Expansion mod provides extra snap points on various modules ?
    Anyway I think that there is at least one possible candidate for the Ship Module Snap (and Flip) Expansion mod available on Xbox Creations but I am not entirely certain right now.
    Would you - or anyone - know the name of Xbox Creations mod that will enable us Xbox users to build the 'battering ram' feature as depicted in your video.
    Also one last question - do you know if the vanilla Comspike & Conduction Grid modules benefits stack with Dark Star's equivalents or were you just adding Dark Star's Comspike & Conduction Grid modules for aesthetic reasons.
    Thanks again Wizard for your fantastic ship build videos, when I have finished with the Vulcan updates I intend to find a nice gas giant moon that I can build an outpost home base on - and move Lin & Heller from the frozen wastes of the Bessel outpost that they are currently residing on.

    • @WizeOldWizard
      @WizeOldWizard  6 місяців тому

      The Xbox version of Snap and Flip should include the proper snap points.
      As for the DarkStar equipment modules, you can stack two of each of those and gain the benefits of both, but I’m not sure if they stack with the vanilla ones. Even if they don’t, the buffs received from those modules are still worth using, but I imagine, since those parts are added through the mod as standalone parts, that they most likely do stack with the vanilla modules.
      If you want a more solid answer, I provided links to Wykkyd’s Gaming channel in the Krakatoa guide, and he himself is also in my Discord, you can join if you wish and ask him questions there, or watch his videos that detail what his mods do and ask him questions in his comments. He’s got a Discord server as well, but I do not have the invite link for that.

The rest that you have leftover from crew and skills can just be dedicated grav drive power.
