Requirements: Few things to note to get this ship. 1. You need a Class C License to pilot this beast. 2. Star Ship Design Rank 4 to add better mods to this ship is desirable but not required. 3. Rank 1 Targeting System Perk is required so we can hit the engine and Grav Drive in order to dock with this ship and take it over by force. 4. Visiting planets & moons over level 60 will most likely increase your chances of running into the better versions. 5. This is a random event so its not a for sure thing. May take time and multiple attempts 6. Apologies some of the weapons are Starship Design level 3 not 4! 7. Valentine ships will continue to spawn across the Universe no matter how many times you destroy it or take it over. 8. This should not be level locked as many comments from low level or new NG+ players have had success How Can I buy Voyager III? You'll need to be level 72 for Technicians to sell the Voyager III at least from comments. I found after many many resets (Venus resets) the Technician at Mars (Cydonia) was selling it. Here are other places you can but it. Vendor ︎ Porrima ︎ Lon Anderssen lvl 72+ Vendor ︎ Sol ︎ Ship Services Technician (Cydonia) lvl 72+ Vendor ︎ Ixyll ︎ Ship Services Technician (Eleos Retreat) lvl 72+ Vendor ︎ Alpha Centauri ︎ Ship Services Technician (Gagarin) lvl 72+ Vendor ︎ Volii ︎ Ship Services Technician (Neon) lvl 72+ Vendor ︎ Alpha Centauri ︎ Ship Services Technician (New Atlantis) lvl 72+ Vendor ︎ Sol ︎ Ship Services Technician (New Homestead) lvl 72+ Vendor ︎ Ship Services Technician (Outpost) lvl 72+ Vendor ︎ Porrima ︎ Ship Services Technician (Paradiso) lvl 72+ Notes & Tips: 1.Not sure if there are any level requirements I'm pretty sure there isn't but do note I'm level 75 when finding this ship. Many lower level players have found this ship so leads me to think its not level related. 2. This ships is completely random so it will take time to get it. Seems likes its more commonly found in orbits where there is stuff floating around in orbit, for example stuff like all the metal junk,debris and asteroids. 3. Technically this ship should be able to be found in nearly any system I believe but more likely found in higher level systems. I suggest starting with Masada because we know for sure it spawns there. Then try jumping from system to system and traveling to all the moons. 4. I'm not sure how this will impact none main quest line companions. Main question companions will be furious at you and it may impact your chances at getting lucky with them ;) . Other companions may hep out if they are evil alignment or possibly neutral . Beyond that I'm not sure. Let me know in the comments if you do. 5. **Not having any companions on board your ship will still give you the bounty. I tested this on another valentine and I still got the bounty :( Additional Information My Related Perks & Ranks At The Time Of Getting This Ship; Tech - Rank 4 - Piloting Class C Ships. Tech - Rank 4 - Star Ship Design. Tech - Rank 1 - Target Control Systems ( Lock onto ships and hit the Engine & Grav Drive). Science - Rank 3 - Atrodynamics (Increase grav drive and fuel efficiency). Science - Rank 4 - Aneutronic Fusion (Reactor produces 1 extra power). Social - Rank 4 - Commerce (Buy for 20% less and sell for 25% more).
@@phatal808I stole the ship and didn't see him for 20+ hours of gameplay??? So next playthrough I left him alone....if he comes back I want that dam ship!!
I met that ship so many times. Just heard the singing, congratulated the guy and he went off. Never thought it was an awesome ship to capture lol. Thanks for this.
I have run across this guy multiple times (I think the first time was ~level 65 or so) and never gave a second thought to pirating the ship, lol. Just thought it was just another random space encounter and I kept trying different conversation combinations to see if it would spark a different outcome. NOW I KNOW the conversation I should be having with this ship.
I too have heard this voice while chasing pirates from the mission boards did not realise a single point in the right skill will enable me to target the grav drive. I do seem to find Vruun ships have landed while building bases. But the registration was 61000 credits and it’s only worth 73000 to sell. I do keep them to have a different experience in space battles. Thanks for the update dude peace.
That Valentine is a stock UC Voyager III. If you feel bad taking the Valentine, you can pirate the "Unknown" insurance salesman ship. Same ship as Valentine.
When starship hunting in those deep space systems 20+ LYs out I cannot stress this enough... CARRY THE MATS TO BUILD A LANDING PLATFORM. It is possible if you take a ship, swap to it and then be stranded. This gives you the ability to drop a platform swap your ships.
If you make it your home ship, (dont need to register to do that) and then just fast travel to new atlantis or any other spaceport, you dont need to carry those mats
Ummmm pretty sure all of those fat out planets are hazardous environments so you need a higher lvl skill to even build their in the first place. But yes that happened to me and took me like 2 hours to finally figure out how to get back. Had to select mission and grav jump 🤷🏻♂️
So if you have swapped to it you won't be able to fast travel to a port at all i was stuck in the Masada system with a 5 LY pos. Had to reload prior save. Just saying if your at 20+ly jumps from sector to sector have the mats to build a landing pad or make sure to save and check the LY before you take off with that ship. And check the moons you can find some that are not extreme.
U can buy the same ship, from Vendor specifically from Neon. Names as Voyager III, but VERY VERY rare to get, you have to check regularly. Btw that's my home ship now after using Narwhal.
You can also find an identical ship to this only with different colors when you farm high end ships in the Masala system by going to a planet and waiting for ship landings. Might need to save and reload a couple of times but works like a charm AND you get no big bounty.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ No particular planet. It should, however be a planet you land for the first time because for me that had a guarantee of ship landings spawning. Make sure you use the auto-save from the landing when you exit the ship to reset which ship spawns. If you do a manual quick-save the ship might already be determined and it will be the same.
I believe you only need Piloting since the Razorleaf from the Mantis quest line has parts that would require higher Starship Design ranks but is flyable by everyone.
Cheers . Same system Masada 2, got me a Trader Highlander III, with 40 Reactor, 1500 shields ( 2500 with my skill buff ) and 189 PAR. 29 laser, 40 BAL. Its a beast for a trader ship and looks cool as hell, first time Ive seen it and I am level 72. A keeper, going to modify it. Also the Valentine Renegade, looks super sexy, probably best looking ship in game. I also scored another Valentine ship in the Masada system, same model as Abys Trekker , red, white and blue, wasn't a roman numeral version so sold it. Looked cool though I saw my first IV rated ship today after hitting level 70, so hopefully more IV from now on. *Pro tip. Build a Masada base with large ship platform and a Sol base with large ship platform - It allows you to fast travel even in a damaged ship to immediate safety, where you can repair, modify or change ships. Even if grav drive not powerful enough, you can jump from far away, to and from, directly to bases.
I'll have to track the Highlander 3 that sounds pretty wicked. Man you have been a ship spree well done. Thanks for the tip I didn't know that thats a great one!
Just a slight correction, you can get a UC Vista from a vendor, its just random though as you may have to refresh the store inventory by waiting. I was able to pick one up in Cydonia ship services. Don't know if its level dependent as I was 60+.
I had it appear as a purchaseable ship using my landing pad as the vendor. The Vista that is. I was level 43 I believe. I’m only 46 now it was a couple of days ago.
Nice. I have seen this ship a few times out in the Masada and other high level systems. Just hadn’t tried taking over the ship yet. Next time I see it I will pick it up.
Wow thank you so freaking much! You made my day!! So pumped!! Thank you :) . Please let me know if you want a video on something particular and ill see what I can do.
I found this ship (Spawned lvl 72) when I was at lvl 40 and had piloting skill lvl 4. Since it is a civilian ship I boarded it solo so as not to piss off my human companions. When it was all said and done I owed the Freestar Collective 151k in bounty fees. 😁 The engines and the reactor made it all worthwhile!
I managed to capture a Lvl 65 Freestar space Ox II(or III) when I was Lvl 25 myself!! (Sam and Sarah where so mad at me after, lol) I've changed almost every thing about it except grav, reactor(36 power) and the shield(1000 shield). I have spent over 400K upgrading it every couple of level-ups, needless to say it's a beast. now I know why some people put everything they earn into their cars.
Wow epic journey with your beast ship. There is something there its hard not to get attached to the hard work you put into your ships. So you had no porlbems getting a level 65 Freestar at Lvl 25 so it does seem like levels don't matter at all just the piloting skill.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ My frontier was very good and upgraded, plus Space Ox II wasn't hostile(it was a Freestar ship). I got behind it and didn't hail it, I started taking its shield out, and by the time it turned around to attack me, I was already targeting it's systems. It got 5 seconds to attack me before I boarded it and in that 5 seconds my ship was almost gone. I got reeeeaaaally lucky. plus it wasn't a military ship so the crew was low-level and easy to deal with. Exploring high level areas in this game is so rewarding and fun! unlike other games, this game doesn't level lock you, doesn't matter how weak you are, if you are smart and lucky you can take on high-level areas.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ I was Lvl 27 when I went to a Lvl 70 system and found a drifting ship. everyone on the ship was dead because of a mutating alien. The Alien was so high level (I think around Lvl60 or something) It took everything I had to kill it. It was so stressful and fun. This random event was meant to be experienced when you're very low level, cuz if you're high level, there's nothing to be worried about. This game is a gold mine and it's not stopping anytime soon!
Vista is for sale in New Atlantis for me right now. I'll go check for it now to see if I can find it in Masada. Orca was also for sale there. Last playthrough didn't have anything like what I am seeing there now.
Same area. Got an autobahn 3. 625k registration was just over 60k. Bounty racked up as killed off the UC crew but cleared with death of the (last witness). . Just used EM weapons to disable and then boarded it 👍
Autobahn 3 is decent for sure. Was it in orbit or landed? I thought you couldn't get the 'killed last witness' when in orbit. Damm thats a heavy rego. Did you do it in your own menu and not the technicians?
It was in orbit when I came across it. . Used a stronghold with EM whilst turning off its turrets. First ship I've actually taken in orbit so don't know the ins and outs of last witness. Added to the collection since. Ecliptic Claymore 3 and one of the big Galbank transports. A something 2. Can't remember the name. That one did put a bounty on me. Basically been traveling from planet to planet in orbit and the spawns have been very regular and consistently better than anything I have previously seen on the surface. Just kept the big boys and sold anything else and that's paid for the registration fees for everything to date 👍
Excellent, highly detailed video; I only have a Class B license so I'm going to make sure to upgrade soon! Thanks for the video and, what is that KILLER music at the end??? Thanks!!
Thank you for the awesome comment. I'll use that song in an up coming clip and have it noted there as I've forgotten and I'll track it down again. Its a wicked beat for sure. Thanks again!
I've only been playing starfield about 2 weeks now. I don't know everything yet, but I bought a few ships to modify to see what I could do. I ended up using the Abyss Trekker. After modding the Warhammer and Nimitz III, I ended up with around 900 dam on the Nimitz, about 1k dam on the Warhammer and 1200 dam on the Abyss Trekker. Added the largest cargo, 2 of the strongest engines and several turrets with a mix of laz, par, and bal. 1532 hull and 852 cargo added another fuel tank now have 1600 fuel and shields at 3840. Reactor at 42 with a crew of 9 and a 30 LY jump. I'm level 176 (watched a few level up vids(Pharma Farm) money and exp ! Completed a couple factions and barely scratched the main game missions. Not bad for a Starfield noob. 😁
Yer thats exactly my understanding but so many people having issue with not being able to access the pilot seat even with Starship design lvl 4. Trying to pinpoint what and why that happens.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ The unable to access the pilot seat happens depending who you trying to steal from, it simply won't allow you to steal from certain factions in certain cases.
Heya sorry for the late response. How did you go? To delete a ship you need to go to your ship menu and you should select the ship you want to delete. You should see a button that says remove or delete. Hold that button down and click Okay or yes to the pop up message. That should remove a hip for you. Let me know how you go.
I got a uc vista 3 and a crimson wright 3 in the space of ten minutes. The vista 3 literally had zero people inside just allowed me to walk in and take off with zero bounty or effort lol then i landed in the exact same spot to do a the same quest and the Wright 3 landed and best thing it was like 250 metres away from my landing spot so not even like i run far. That was probably the best luck ive had with ships
I found that level 72 ship boarded killed the crew all but one couldn't find the last person on the ship after 30 minutes gave up...... Felt bad killing the singer dude but not sure if he was the last person, will try again seen his ship about 10 times now.
Ahh damm. Make sure you kill any turrents as well. i think in those situations you might be able to jump to another planet in that system and come straight back and then the lost crew should spawn in the ship. Also in activities you can set the current one to kill the crew to get there location.
The reactor will be better with the correct crew members and the the perk in the science column that gives you more ticks from your reactor. Which is NOT A BAD THING AT ALL
Cool yer that's what I thought but wanted to float the idea just in case. Many comments from people saying they are having issue with accessing normal ships even with rank 4 pilot
Man, Ive seen this ship a lot when I hunted for the Vista ship (still no luck), I never thought of attacking it since its an civilian ship + its says UC on it :P
I've run into this guy a few times at lower levels. lol it never even accured me to look at his ship. I usually just left 😂 But as im now level 45 i think I'll take the ship for myself.
If it was 62 it would have been the MK II of Voyagers or another ship depending what it looked like. Voyagers can be common once your a high level and have like with the spawn pool rotations.
Рік тому+5
My working theory is that you need to be at or above level at which all the parts contained in a ship are unlocked to pilot it. Yes, parts are also level locked. Yes, it is another thing that was not documented in any way by Bethesda. Theory is based on my ability to take take over Ecliptic Cutlass, after being unauthorised to do so before. Only variable that has changed I could identify was my current character level.
You definitely don't need to be at the level to get the parts to pilot a ship, I captured a Spacer Hyena III at lvl 30 which has the 40 power reactor and some other nice parts that aren't normally available till lvl 60. The trick is you need to be in the high level systems to find ships to capture with high level parts in them. Do note there are lots of ships that are hard coded not to capturable (pretty much all the freestar ships you find on the ground at landing sites won't let you capture them even if you board and clear them out for example).
Shindia is correct. I captured two 40 power reactors (hyena III and the pirate or spacer version of the se ship) at about level 15. This reactor requires level 60 to buy, if I recall. These ships also have high level weaponry and other parts.
Yer that was one of my theories as well but looking at the comments below we are back at the drawing board. But good logic there it would make sense but not the answer we need. Thank you all for commenting its appreciated. Seems lvl isn't a problem in the no access to normal accessible ships.
The vast majority of the stuff people complain about not being documented are in fact documented in the help menu. People just want it all laid out for them in tutorial fashion in game.
I think it's more that a few parts/ships are locked by the player's level - If you can't see the parts or the ship never comes into the vendor, check player level.
No I think I had very easy on so it looks like my ships a beast. I switch from very hard to easy for this as ship was damaged and I didn't want to lose this chance.
No one ever mentions the ((Aneutronic Fusion)) skill under the Science category. This is for your ships Reactors. Max out this skill and your ships reactor produces 5 extra units of power. It's one thing to steel a ship another to upgrade and build ships. You can steel class C ships even on very easy mode piloting them requires you meet the skill set required. In order to upgrade your ships engines and grav this skill along with maxing out every skill under the Tech category very important. Just hang around the Serpentes System on very easy. Travel from planet to moon wait 30 seconds Va'Ruun,crimson Fleet,Ecliptic,Spacers and Starborn ships of all skill levels show up as you travel from planet to moon around the serpentes system. Destroy them collect the goods, land, sleep with your companion to gain an additional 15% extra xp take off and do it again or or exit the ship while landed and wait for the sonic boom and go steel a ship. You will skill up very just and apply those points where needed.
Hi SiNKiLLeR, i guess the level of the ship depends on the player's level. After watching your videos I boarded the Valentine which turned out to be a UC Voyager (plain, you can tell it by the reactor at 27). I was level 75 at that time (well, not so long ago, it was last week). Cheers
Space encounters are pretty damm random. Technically you could get a mk 3 at level 1 but its very rare. As you lvl up you should see more mk 3 landing but for space its going to mostly be the same chances with a bit more of a chance of getting mk 3s.
I guess it depends on what your wanting to do. I think its much cheaper to use this ship and then you can add and mod it how ever you want. Its a great base to start from. But The Narwal is awesome so unless you want to upgrade and mess around building a new ship then maybe this Valtine isn't good fit for you.
Ive had the level 62 class B spawn 5 times and the level 40 class C 3 times and still no level 72 version... Masada does seem to spawn The Valentine more though
2:15 for you wondering about unable to access ships for no reason, i have seen in other videos that there is a bug causing this. It has something to do with Either the "Mett Emma Wilcox" Mission or you Editing your ship at "the Den" in the wolf system. I heard that a fix for it is to reload a save when you WERE able to enter a ship, and continue from there. (Sorry if you got really far ahead). I have no other information about this bug.
Its always a good idea to hit the piloting skills. Have you seen the quick way to max that skill? I did it the old fashion way but you can do it quickly if you need to. Can google get rank 4 piloting skills fast or something and you'll get a few videos on it.
I decked out the UC ship i "found", and it doesn't quite compare to my built up Narwhal. I just need 9 more levels to get a third railgun to max out ballistic damage.
That in a really interesting thing to try. I will give it a crack. So the NPC don't die just stay stunned so you can still take the ship? I wonder how it works?
Better to wait for a mod to add this along with other various ships to vendors since I am playing as a good guy and don't want to steal ships from those that are not bad.
Yer I understand that path. Hopefully it wont be to long but I guess building your own is even better :). Wish you luck on a good play through. Might get tricky and I respect that.
The Valentine is the guy that sings right? I ran into him not too long ago. I don't think i will be able to get this one or a UC vista on my current game because i assume i will get a bounty, and i am trying to role play as a UC guy.
Yer its that legend that sings that glorious song :) . You can pick up Vista or any UC ship without a bounty in the case where its just the one guy outside the ship and you can just walk in and steal it. At least I don't think I got bounties from my bad memory. But you will defiantly get a bounty for taking this ship.
Ran into this ship a few times most recent last night. If you hail him he goes into a jump drive very quickly while responding to you. Still looking for the Vista. Cannot find that one at all.
Im a lvl 149, with all the skills on the ship page on rank 4, your vid has helped me to get this ship, but ....... in my game, the valentine came out to be a class A , sob
There is an even better ship, and it's called Trader Highlander III. It's the Stronghold but with a 40 Power Reactor. Stats are 2200 fuel, 1578 shields, 1508 hull, 2360 cargo, 2013 mass, and so many auto turrets that do insane damage (27 Lasers, and 172 para) With a stealth build you wont have a bounty or much cheaper.
I hopped over there, found and boarded the Valentine but it's a completely different, much smaller ship and it was level 32. I am level 76 so that didn't affect it. So it seems to be random.
Yer since its a random spawn you will get hit and missing but traveling to another system and then jumping between the moons and planets in Masada should mean it spawns at some point for you. Level's shouldn't matter from other peoples comments. Its just the random luck of it all.
I have only seen had 1 of these ships and I can confirm I did steal it after it landed on a world, I forget the system so it may have been masada, as I frequent there often
The renegade 3, is the best class c ship, not the narwhale. Got mine in neon but i had to try several times as it doesnt always spawn. Now i just wonder how it stacks up to this ship. Could this one be better? Hmmmm...
Hey SiNKiLLeR, I had a thought about the 'killed the last witness, so no bounty' mechanic. If you bring any of your companions to board the ship and kill the civvies, doesn't that make them a witness you can't clear? Heck, here's another thought: If you have a companion on board when you attack a civvie ship doesn't that already make them a witness you can't clear? I also wonder if there's a difference between 'Crew' and 'Companion assigned as crew' when you attack civvie ships? Anyways, if you orbit board solo, kill all crew (and if it's applicable, destroy all turrets) do you then get the 'you've killed all the crew so there's no witnesses, so no bounty' message?
Yo so that would make perfect logical sense and I should have thought about it like that. Strange enough I tried boarding a ship without a companion and I still got a bounty. I wasn't sure if having crew on my own ship counts as witnesses. I haven't tested the killing all turrets. I'll give that a try and see how it works.
HAHAHAHA, I see that singer a lot and have seen this ship three times now but just don't have the heart to pirate it lol. He's a nice guy darnit....then that bounty plus registration!!! OUCH. Thanks for the info, that would almost bankrupt me so I'll pass until I get a mil in the bank lol. *** FYI the Crimson Fleet Wight III has a 41 reactor but only 24 LY jump base. Stole that off a moon in one of the lvl 75 systems and I think it has the best reactor but definitely needs a better grav drive.
Its a hard decisions to make with that silky smooth voice and with awesome ships like the Crimson Fleet Wight III around its a easy pass for some. Crimson Fleet Wight III is a wicked good ship def worth it.
You only need piloting level 4 to fly any ship, the only reason to get starship design is if your building and modifying a ship, otherwise it is useless. If you can't pilot a ship it is ether because the game won't let you or you do not have rank 3 for B class and rank 4 for C class in piloting.
Yeah, he’s great… luckily somehow he still lives on, even if you take his ship and kill the entire crew. I’ve run into him twice after taking his ship.
The Mk. III seems to be a match overall. Not sure if it is a module-for-modufe match, but overall stats match. Again, approx lvl 75 (72??) I'm not sure why everyone thinks the Narwhal is the most expensive. Plenty of ships for sale over 500k credits at high levels. ; )
Yer your right the Mk.3 is the exact same thing. What levl are you ? I don't think there is any ship other then Mk. III I have seen so far. I'm level 84 so guessing I will see some some later and/or I always miss them at the vendors as the ships change.
Yes, a voyager III. I got it too, and the internal layout is bad. I replaced or added a few rooms, more engines, a different reactor, put the bridge at the front of the ship and replaced the landing bay by another one with a ladder, so most of the usefull things (workstations, laboratory, search station, bed) are now on the same floor.
I got this to spawn a couple of times, but it was only level 30 and 34. My character is level 33 so maybe it depends on the player level. Tried on very hard and still the same outcome.
It most likely does have some level impact but I also think it could be completely random for Valentine which will make it hard to trigger the Voyager III :(
Spacer Hyena 3 and Crimson Fleet Wight 3 are also some of best candidates for the 40-point reactor, but you'd have to modify those ships to your needs for them to be better.
so this is basically the Voyager that you can buy & modify? same layout just better parts? could be a way to go if you decide to go ng+ and need a good ship fast. i got the vista 2 days ago, but i always just modify any ship i like the design of with latest & greatest parts and switch habs around so i can have the ones i need (most ship have so much wasted space you can better fill up), its the best part of the game for me just wish you can have more than 10 ships.
It is and it does have better parts. If I was doing ng+ I would grab this asap but I'm wondering if there is any addition conditions like level requirements but I don't think there is. Would levels even matter in ng+? Is another question I have. I like to do the same thing at the moment. Nice modding a decent ship to your liking.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ as far as i know only piloting and starship design are relevant, even starship design is not if you dont want to modify the ship with parts that need it. but many parts are also locked behind player level. im very much into the shipbuilding, have all 10 slots used, its very financially demanding to keep them all up-to-date since im not level 60 yet so not all parts are unlocked but i love every one of them.
When you pay the fees to clear your record does it also reset your lifetime bounty? Or is lifetime bounty permanent? Also did it clear the murders from your character account? Thanks for the info!
No from my understanding lifetime bounty figure can't be changed its the total of all your bounties that have existed. Does not clear the murders either. Why do you ask are you trying to avoid those both?
@@SiNKiLLeR_ thanks for the speedy response! Yea I’m doing my best to try to keep M’s and lifetime bounty at zero. I was over at Masada and came across the uc reef. My hud said finish the crew or let them live. Really wanted the ship so i off’d the crew and caught m’s and bounty. I also tried to stealth melee the crew. I got to three crew members before the alarm went off lmao but I found out ships don’t go with us in NG+ so I moved on
Looks like the Voyager III just a different color scheme, Voyager III I've seen at the Landing Pad With Ship Builder in Outpost Builder, No bounty required 😅
I found a poor man’s version of the Valentine floating around Serpentis V. This version’s value is only 268,159. It has a 24 reactor; 2 crew; 22 LY; and 805 shield. I don’t know if it is worth paying off the bounty and registering this unsightly Valentine? I might just remove the hook from its’ mouth and toss it back into space!
Unfortunately Valentine can be nearly any ship in the game so there are some average version or even terrible ones :( . Best to throw this one to the see by the sounds of it.
So I came across this ship and had 6 goes at it before I gave up. I target the grab drive. Took it out of commission. Switched to the engines and could do no damage to them at all. My auto turret ended up destroying the ship every times. Why could I not damage the engines? Am at a loss!
Few suggestions for you. 1. You can always power down your auto cannons. 2. If your killing ships to quickly you can increase the difficulty 3. To damage the engine you might need to take out the shield as well, depending on your weapon setup. I think EM weapons are the exception to thag, I cant remember. 4. Make sure you lock on to the ship which slows time down a bit given you more time to power down weapons when you need to.
Wait..... what is the max amount of ships you can have? Also I have been hailed a few time when traveling to a new location is this a trap? As I always been turning down these hail calls.
10 ships max without mods. Hailed to go to a new location I would 100% accept I've never been lured in Starfield. ou have to try it and let us know what happens.
I couldn't dock with it after attacking the guy sing;ing. Another UC pilot in this ship will hail you to warn you about enemies in the area in 65-70 plus systems. I haven't attack them yet because Andreja would be beaching about it :)
Good observations and very fair question. I have a pretty insane ship and when I saw this ship I put the difficulty to normal. I also got very close to it. Its a great ship to mod and build from.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ Well, I became a member of the Crimson fleet. After that I went to some monn, not sure where, but I was leveling my pick pocketing skill. Like everyone else, I was learning the game at that time but had a good amount of credits. I picked one of the fleet not knowing they were friendly to me now; they don't attack members. After I did that and was caught they wanted to fight so Sarah and I wiped out the whole base. I get back to the Crimson base to complete a challange and the guy stops me and says pay him 45k. I said NO! and he attacked me. I killed everything that came through the door and excaped. Then saw the bounty of 271k LMAO!! I eventually cleared it.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ gameplay commentary I think. Or at least some sort of structured gameplay. There are tons of folks just streaming or uploading videos of gameplay by itself. Maybe set a goal of finding “the best” class c ship and go for that? Love your content! Good luck!
I've been to this location 4 times now trying to find this ship and nothing. But, every time I go I get attacked by pirates, bounty hunters (I have the "Wanted" trait which is AWESOME!), and Crimson Fleet. My current ship is a former Crimson Fleet Wraith III.....which turns out is on par with this ship. Worth $479k but has the top-of-the-line shield, good turrets, and components, which is really what you are looking for when going after ships. It was foolish enough to attack me and now it's mine. But, I was in a Class-A and was woefully under leveled to take it on and it killed me 5 times in a row before I lowered the game difficulty enough for me to be able to defeat it....those darn turrets are brutal!!! If you haven't boarded a high tier, massive ship, before.....it's a fun fight once you get inside the ship. I must have had to kill 15+ enemy crew members to get the ship cleared to take it over. Now I didn't see these until I had my Ship Design was at lvl 2, so maybe that's why UC Vista isn't showing up for me. I also think I might lose my companions if I kill a bunch of UC and take their ship, you might want to wait until NG+ to go after this. Anyone know???
How did you go any luck yet? I would try switch to another 75 system and travel to each moon and then another until I find it. Masada is a good starting point but not the be all end all for this ship unfortunately. Wow you stole a wicked good ship already and going from A class A that would of been a hell of a fight. Don't worry I lower game difficulty to when I need to. That situation called for it for sure. I'm still not 100% sure why ships don't spawn and maybe ship design has something to do with it. Most companions wont attack with you but they don't leave either they just get angry. I hope you find this ship and have some luck soon. Cheers :)
@@SiNKiLLeR_ After many, many, many trips and 5 C-Class ships later......it finally spawned. But my luck is shit and it was a basic one, not the upgraded specially painted version. I saved my game before attacking it, as I still am playing the first playthrough, and it instantly pissed off every NPC on my ship when I attacked! Once the fight was over and I checked the stats, it was less than a $400k ship with just ho-hum guns and parts. I reloaded the game and let her fly on past..... I ran into this ship again, well not actually the same ship, and it was named the same, sang the song, and same NPC interraction....but, it was a different ship entirely! Still, not the extra special rare one shown in the video. What I did find out though, the Class C ship I commandeered in the story I laid out in my original post is actually a rare version of it as well....special paint and top tier parts and guns.
Cool video ,the only thing that makes me wana buy this from a vendor ( neon is it?) Rather than hijacking it is last one i stole i spent all credits making end game ship and it did that horrible dissappearing bug 😢 i heard it doesnt bug if you buy them but does if u pirate them
Oh shit I haven't seen that bug. That sounds horrible. Unfortunately I dont know away around that. But I've had no issues stealing any ship other then the Guardian When people say end game ship. What do they mean?
@SiNKiLLeR_ lol its horrible bug ,tried everything to get my ship visible ,sold it in the end and continued on. I think End Game means the player has something that is good enough to make it to the end and use it throughout the game before later stages...I think ! Thanks for the reply too. Much peace
Vista is a tricky one. I'm trying to reproduce for a updated video and its not easy. Yer the 10 ship limit is sucky but you can remove ships or there is a mod that allows more ships.
Yer you should have no issue getting 8 crew from my understanding. You might ned rank4 starship design and I think there is another per or thing you need to be able to actually get all crew on your ship.
Requirements:
Few things to note to get this ship.
1. You need a Class C License to pilot this beast.
2. Star Ship Design Rank 4 to add better mods to this ship is desirable but not required.
3. Rank 1 Targeting System Perk is required so we can hit the engine and Grav Drive in order to dock with this ship and take it over by force.
4. Visiting planets & moons over level 60 will most likely increase your chances of running into the better versions.
5. This is a random event so its not a for sure thing. May take time and multiple attempts
6. Apologies some of the weapons are Starship Design level 3 not 4!
7. Valentine ships will continue to spawn across the Universe no matter how many times you destroy it or take it over.
8. This should not be level locked as many comments from low level or new NG+ players have had success
How Can I buy Voyager III?
You'll need to be level 72 for Technicians to sell the Voyager III at least from comments. I found after many many resets (Venus resets) the Technician at Mars (Cydonia) was selling it. Here are other places you can but it.
Vendor ︎ Porrima ︎ Lon Anderssen
lvl 72+
Vendor ︎ Sol ︎ Ship Services Technician (Cydonia)
lvl 72+
Vendor ︎ Ixyll ︎ Ship Services Technician (Eleos Retreat)
lvl 72+
Vendor ︎ Alpha Centauri ︎ Ship Services Technician (Gagarin)
lvl 72+
Vendor ︎ Volii ︎ Ship Services Technician (Neon)
lvl 72+
Vendor ︎ Alpha Centauri ︎ Ship Services Technician (New Atlantis)
lvl 72+
Vendor ︎ Sol ︎ Ship Services Technician (New Homestead)
lvl 72+
Vendor ︎ Ship Services Technician (Outpost)
lvl 72+
Vendor ︎ Porrima ︎ Ship Services Technician (Paradiso)
lvl 72+
Notes & Tips:
1.Not sure if there are any level requirements I'm pretty sure there isn't but do note I'm level 75 when finding this ship. Many lower level players have found this ship so leads me to think its not level related.
2. This ships is completely random so it will take time to get it. Seems likes its more commonly found in orbits where there is stuff floating around in orbit, for example stuff like all the metal junk,debris and asteroids.
3. Technically this ship should be able to be found in nearly any system I believe but more likely found in higher level systems. I suggest starting with Masada because we know for sure it spawns there. Then try jumping from system to system and traveling to all the moons.
4. I'm not sure how this will impact none main quest line companions. Main question companions will be furious at you and it may impact your chances at getting lucky with them ;) . Other companions may hep out if they are evil alignment or possibly neutral . Beyond that I'm not sure. Let me know in the comments if you do.
5. **Not having any companions on board your ship will still give you the bounty. I tested this on another valentine and I still got the bounty :(

I can't I could never harm the man driving that ship. he makes my day everytime I encounter him
What if I sing to you instead? jks ;) It was a tough choice but the ship is almost as good as his silky smooth voice.
Yeah, The Valentine and Grandma pretty much get a free pass for obvious reasons.
It's ok... he respawns :D
@@phatal808I stole the ship and didn't see him for 20+ hours of gameplay??? So next playthrough I left him alone....if he comes back I want that dam ship!!
naaa do merder@@jimraithe
I met that ship so many times. Just heard the singing, congratulated the guy and he went off. Never thought it was an awesome ship to capture lol. Thanks for this.
Very welcome and me to I didn't know it was the most expensive ship in the game. Atleast for now it is.
I have run across this guy multiple times (I think the first time was ~level 65 or so) and never gave a second thought to pirating the ship, lol. Just thought it was just another random space encounter and I kept trying different conversation combinations to see if it would spark a different outcome. NOW I KNOW the conversation I should be having with this ship.
Bahah I fear for Mr lungs. Right now all over the universe he may be hunted, but for good reason. Great comment thank you :)
Same, I've bumped into him a couple times and just ignored him. Now I have to go on the hunt.
I too have heard this voice while chasing pirates from the mission boards did not realise a single point in the right skill will enable me to target the grav drive. I do seem to find Vruun ships have landed while building bases. But the registration was 61000 credits and it’s only worth 73000 to sell. I do keep them to have a different experience in space battles. Thanks for the update dude peace.
That Valentine is a stock UC Voyager III. If you feel bad taking the Valentine, you can pirate the "Unknown" insurance salesman ship. Same ship as Valentine.
Great info thank you
When starship hunting in those deep space systems 20+ LYs out I cannot stress this enough... CARRY THE MATS TO BUILD A LANDING PLATFORM. It is possible if you take a ship, swap to it and then be stranded. This gives you the ability to drop a platform swap your ships.
If you make it your home ship, (dont need to register to do that) and then just fast travel to new atlantis or any other spaceport, you dont need to carry those mats
Ummmm pretty sure all of those fat out planets are hazardous environments so you need a higher lvl skill to even build their in the first place.
But yes that happened to me and took me like 2 hours to finally figure out how to get back. Had to select mission and grav jump 🤷🏻♂️
So if you have swapped to it you won't be able to fast travel to a port at all i was stuck in the Masada system with a 5 LY pos. Had to reload prior save. Just saying if your at 20+ly jumps from sector to sector have the mats to build a landing pad or make sure to save and check the LY before you take off with that ship. And check the moons you can find some that are not extreme.
@@williambo6682 dude the ironic part is I stole 3 ships after that and each one couldent even jump to the closest planet!!! What a joke!
@@everythingrc2324 I know it sucks, juat trying to save some people the painful learning experience.
U can buy the same ship, from Vendor specifically from Neon. Names as Voyager III, but VERY VERY rare to get, you have to check regularly. Btw that's my home ship now after using Narwhal.
Thanks for the awesome tip. So cool your using this ship now. Good one to build on.
I've ran all over Neon wtf is the ship vendor at? I know there's one there I literally cannot find him
So, going to the vendor on Neon to find the Voyager III is a wait-and-see? If it's not there, you wait 48 hours and try again until it pops up?
@@nathangregory_ Yes.
@@Skeezle1986 That must be a glitch.
You can also find an identical ship to this only with different colors when you farm high end ships in the Masala system by going to a planet and waiting for ship landings. Might need to save and reload a couple of times but works like a charm AND you get no big bounty.
Ill have to give it a try I could only get the version down from this one. Any planets in particular you think are worth trying?
@@SiNKiLLeR_ No particular planet. It should, however be a planet you land for the first time because for me that had a guarantee of ship landings spawning. Make sure you use the auto-save from the landing when you exit the ship to reset which ship spawns. If you do a manual quick-save the ship might already be determined and it will be the same.
Sweet thanks for the info :)
@@SiNKiLLeR_ did it work for you?
Imma try this out ty
I believe you only need Piloting since the Razorleaf from the Mantis quest line has parts that would require higher Starship Design ranks but is flyable by everyone.
Your 100% correct. Its only rank 4 required unless you want to get your hands dirty and redesign the ship with better parts.
Cheers .
Same system Masada 2, got me a Trader Highlander III, with 40 Reactor, 1500 shields ( 2500 with my skill buff ) and 189 PAR. 29 laser, 40 BAL. Its a beast for a trader ship and looks cool as hell, first time Ive seen it and I am level 72.
A keeper, going to modify it.
Also the Valentine Renegade, looks super sexy, probably best looking ship in game.
I also scored another Valentine ship in the Masada system, same model as Abys Trekker , red, white and blue, wasn't a roman numeral version so sold it. Looked cool though
I saw my first IV rated ship today after hitting level 70, so hopefully more IV from now on.
*Pro tip. Build a Masada base with large ship platform and a Sol base with large ship platform - It allows you to fast travel even in a damaged ship to immediate safety, where you can repair, modify or change ships. Even if grav drive not powerful enough, you can jump from far away, to and from, directly to bases.
I'll have to track the Highlander 3 that sounds pretty wicked. Man you have been a ship spree well done. Thanks for the tip I didn't know that thats a great one!
Just get the Kepler R and mod it.
No murder or theft of a unique NPC ship required.
Kitchen sink option with no compromise
But the murder and theft is the best part!
Yer Kepler R is a great ship. Good option to avoid the murder spree.
I 2nd that haha ;)
I thought killing everyone got rid of any witnesses
Just a slight correction, you can get a UC Vista from a vendor, its just random though as you may have to refresh the store inventory by waiting. I was able to pick one up in Cydonia ship services. Don't know if its level dependent as I was 60+.
I have been trying for ages to get it to appear but had no luck.I'll see it on there one day.
I had it appear as a purchaseable ship using my landing pad as the vendor. The Vista that is. I was level 43 I believe. I’m only 46 now it was a couple of days ago.
Nice. I have seen this ship a few times out in the Masada and other high level systems. Just hadn’t tried taking over the ship yet. Next time I see it I will pick it up.
Solid ship for upgrading :) I hope it serves you well.
The best ship is one where you enter the ship bay and you're right behind the cockpit without stairs. This ship is a maze.
100% always need to reconfigure or build a new from the base ships
Dang I've found him twice. I was mesmerized by his singing. Never knew it was the best ship
He stole all our hearts cause he knew he was sitting on a pot of gold ;)
@SiNKiLLeR_ extremely true plus it's the same guy thar sings Wellerman
Thanks!
Wow thank you so freaking much! You made my day!! So pumped!! Thank you :) . Please let me know if you want a video on something particular and ill see what I can do.
I found this ship (Spawned lvl 72) when I was at lvl 40 and had piloting skill lvl 4. Since it is a civilian ship I boarded it solo so as not to piss off my human companions. When it was all said and done I owed the Freestar Collective 151k in bounty fees. 😁 The engines and the reactor made it all worthwhile!
Woohooo so glad it worked at so well for you. Baha my maths is bad but still roughly 150k is cheap as chips for what your getting.
I managed to capture a Lvl 65 Freestar space Ox II(or III) when I was Lvl 25 myself!! (Sam and Sarah where so mad at me after, lol)
I've changed almost every thing about it except grav, reactor(36 power) and the shield(1000 shield).
I have spent over 400K upgrading it every couple of level-ups, needless to say it's a beast. now I know why some people put everything they earn into their cars.
Wow epic journey with your beast ship. There is something there its hard not to get attached to the hard work you put into your ships. So you had no porlbems getting a level 65 Freestar at Lvl 25 so it does seem like levels don't matter at all just the piloting skill.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ My frontier was very good and upgraded, plus Space Ox II wasn't hostile(it was a Freestar ship).
I got behind it and didn't hail it, I started taking its shield out, and by the time it turned around to attack me, I was already targeting it's systems.
It got 5 seconds to attack me before I boarded it and in that 5 seconds my ship was almost gone. I got reeeeaaaally lucky.
plus it wasn't a military ship so the crew was low-level and easy to deal with.
Exploring high level areas in this game is so rewarding and fun! unlike other games, this game doesn't level lock you, doesn't matter how weak you are, if you are smart and lucky you can take on high-level areas.
Oh man what an adventure :) Thats exact same thing I love. As soon as I could I went out exploring and not really touching main quest.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ I was Lvl 27 when I went to a Lvl 70 system and found a drifting ship. everyone on the ship was dead because of a mutating alien. The Alien was so high level (I think around Lvl60 or something) It took everything I had to kill it. It was so stressful and fun. This random event was meant to be experienced when you're very low level, cuz if you're high level, there's nothing to be worried about.
This game is a gold mine and it's not stopping anytime soon!
Vista is for sale in New Atlantis for me right now. I'll go check for it now to see if I can find it in Masada. Orca was also for sale there. Last playthrough didn't have anything like what I am seeing there now.
That's really neat you can always buy a Vista it might be easier. :) You got a great user name :)
Same area. Got an autobahn 3. 625k registration was just over 60k. Bounty racked up as killed off the UC crew but cleared with death of the (last witness). . Just used EM weapons to disable and then boarded it 👍
Only at lvl 18 when it spawned
Awesome thanks for that its good to know its not going to be level dependant for ship spawns in most situations.
Autobahn 3 is decent for sure. Was it in orbit or landed? I thought you couldn't get the 'killed last witness' when in orbit. Damm thats a heavy rego. Did you do it in your own menu and not the technicians?
It was in orbit when I came across it. . Used a stronghold with EM whilst turning off its turrets. First ship I've actually taken in orbit so don't know the ins and outs of last witness. Added to the collection since. Ecliptic Claymore 3 and one of the big Galbank transports. A something 2. Can't remember the name. That one did put a bounty on me. Basically been traveling from planet to planet in orbit and the spawns have been very regular and consistently better than anything I have previously seen on the surface. Just kept the big boys and sold anything else and that's paid for the registration fees for everything to date 👍
So I wonder, if you sack the Valentine and kill the crew. Do you no longer get the Valentine encounters? I quite enjoy those.
I have gotten two since I stole his ship.
Thanks again Ben. You got my back blue.
Excellent, highly detailed video; I only have a Class B license so I'm going to make sure to upgrade soon! Thanks for the video and, what is that KILLER music at the end??? Thanks!!
Thank you for the awesome comment. I'll use that song in an up coming clip and have it noted there as I've forgotten and I'll track it down again. Its a wicked beat for sure. Thanks again!
You monster! 😅 The Valentine singing is one of my favorite things I've found in game!
I felt my soul slip away to hell, but lucky Mr Lungs will rise again and will be singing for ever and ever. Amen !
I just found this last night looking for the vista. In the same system you have shown. I think I might take it apart and change it up a bit .
Sweet thats a great find :) I would be modding it for sure
I've only been playing starfield about 2 weeks now. I don't know everything yet, but I bought a few ships to modify to see what I could do. I ended up using the Abyss Trekker. After modding the Warhammer and Nimitz III, I ended up with around 900 dam on the Nimitz, about 1k dam on the Warhammer and 1200 dam on the Abyss Trekker. Added the largest cargo, 2 of the strongest engines and several turrets with a mix of laz, par, and bal. 1532 hull and 852 cargo added another fuel tank now have 1600 fuel and shields at 3840. Reactor at 42 with a crew of 9 and a 30 LY jump. I'm level 176 (watched a few level up vids(Pharma Farm) money and exp ! Completed a couple factions and barely scratched the main game missions. Not bad for a Starfield noob. 😁
You only need Piloting rank 4 to pilot class C ships; Starship Design 4 is useful to access all starship parts.
Yer thats exactly my understanding but so many people having issue with not being able to access the pilot seat even with Starship design lvl 4. Trying to pinpoint what and why that happens.
you need pilot 4 not design is what the pin point is 😊
@@SiNKiLLeR_ The unable to access the pilot seat happens depending who you trying to steal from, it simply won't allow you to steal from certain factions in certain cases.
I’ve had this guys singing to me dozens of times. Neve once did I think about taking the ship :(
Haha yer me to. He can be sitting in a Ferrari or a Magic Carpet.
Good Video. Two days of searching and I finally got it right where youssaid :)
Awesome :) yer its a painful thing it can ages but pumped you got it finally:)
At 7:02 can you explain about deleting ships if you have too many?
I’m curious as well.
Heya sorry for the late response. How did you go? To delete a ship you need to go to your ship menu and you should select the ship you want to delete. You should see a button that says remove or delete. Hold that button down and click Okay or yes to the pop up message. That should remove a hip for you. Let me know how you go.
I hope I answered your questions in other comment here. Let me know how you went.
@SiNKiLLeR yes and thanks again for all of your efforts!
@@SiNKiLLeR_ Yep, thanks from me too. I'm good now.
I got a uc vista 3 and a crimson wright 3 in the space of ten minutes. The vista 3 literally had zero people inside just allowed me to walk in and take off with zero bounty or effort lol then i landed in the exact same spot to do a the same quest and the Wright 3 landed and best thing it was like 250 metres away from my landing spot so not even like i run far. That was probably the best luck ive had with ships
Damm thats wild well done!
I found that level 72 ship boarded killed the crew all but one couldn't find the last person on the ship after 30 minutes gave up......
Felt bad killing the singer dude but not sure if he was the last person, will try again seen his ship about 10 times now.
Ahh damm. Make sure you kill any turrents as well. i think in those situations you might be able to jump to another planet in that system and come straight back and then the lost crew should spawn in the ship. Also in activities you can set the current one to kill the crew to get there location.
Wasn't a turret heard him talking but couldn't find him.
The reactor will be better with the correct crew members and the the perk in the science column that gives you more ticks from your reactor. Which is NOT A BAD THING AT ALL
Some real good points there :)
The perk is called Aneutronic Fusion. By the way
You only need rank 4 to build them. But if you get a ship with tier 4 parts you can still fly it. Just don't remove them.
Cool yer that's what I thought but wanted to float the idea just in case. Many comments from people saying they are having issue with accessing normal ships even with rank 4 pilot
I acquired a third version of the Valintine. Class C, valued at 430036. In Achimedes 1-A
Wow nice one :) thanks for the tip.
Found my UC Vista II in that system too boarded in space was very easy, better then wasting time trying find one on a planet.
Man, Ive seen this ship a lot when I hunted for the Vista ship (still no luck), I never thought of attacking it since its an civilian ship + its says UC on it :P
I know its been kinda hidden from us but there the whole time. I'm going to update the UC vista video in hope to make it easier to get.
I'd like to know more about why Andreja needed to talk to you at the beginning of the vid. She said sooner rather than later. What was it?
I wish I could remember sorry! I think it was sooner after meeting her so she talks about her past.
I'm level 59. Went to masada 5-c and there was a uc ship called the valentine but it was a different ship. I didn't take it but it was maybe a b class
Nice work reaching 59. Crazy that you found a Valentine ship that had landed. I've never come across one.
How about a Class C fighter. 24m × 9m? Or a Class C that'll land on the small landing pad?
That sounds like a cool idea!
I've run into this guy a few times at lower levels. lol it never even accured me to look at his ship. I usually just left 😂 But as im now level 45 i think I'll take the ship for myself.
Its been one of those things for all of us. Been in our face the whole time. This ships is supreme for the upgrade.
I'm level 70, ran into this ship on Serpentis some where, but he was only level 62 so I passed on it. Did I miss the opportunity??
If it was 62 it would have been the MK II of Voyagers or another ship depending what it looked like. Voyagers can be common once your a high level and have like with the spawn pool rotations.
My working theory is that you need to be at or above level at which all the parts contained in a ship are unlocked to pilot it. Yes, parts are also level locked. Yes, it is another thing that was not documented in any way by Bethesda. Theory is based on my ability to take take over Ecliptic Cutlass, after being unauthorised to do so before. Only variable that has changed I could identify was my current character level.
You definitely don't need to be at the level to get the parts to pilot a ship, I captured a Spacer Hyena III at lvl 30 which has the 40 power reactor and some other nice parts that aren't normally available till lvl 60. The trick is you need to be in the high level systems to find ships to capture with high level parts in them. Do note there are lots of ships that are hard coded not to capturable (pretty much all the freestar ships you find on the ground at landing sites won't let you capture them even if you board and clear them out for example).
Shindia is correct. I captured two 40 power reactors (hyena III and the pirate or spacer version of the se ship) at about level 15. This reactor requires level 60 to buy, if I recall. These ships also have high level weaponry and other parts.
Yer that was one of my theories as well but looking at the comments below we are back at the drawing board. But good logic there it would make sense but not the answer we need. Thank you all for commenting its appreciated. Seems lvl isn't a problem in the no access to normal accessible ships.
Yeah I think this is right .. I found that valentine but level 30 , in actually level 33 ;( so not luck
The vast majority of the stuff people complain about not being documented are in fact documented in the help menu. People just want it all laid out for them in tutorial fashion in game.
I think it's more that a few parts/ships are locked by the player's level - If you can't see the parts or the ship never comes into the vendor, check player level.
Yer thats a good point. I should include that info in next video cause that's good to know.
Was that sped up when you took down the engines?!
No I think I had very easy on so it looks like my ships a beast. I switch from very hard to easy for this as ship was damaged and I didn't want to lose this chance.
Love your videos keep it up!
Thank you Cloud. Your a legend :)
No one ever mentions the ((Aneutronic Fusion)) skill under the Science category.
This is for your ships Reactors. Max out this skill and your ships reactor produces 5 extra units of power. It's one thing to steel a ship another to upgrade and build ships.
You can steel class C ships even on very easy mode piloting them requires you meet the skill set required. In order to upgrade your ships engines and grav this skill along with maxing out every skill under the Tech category very important.
Just hang around the Serpentes System on very easy. Travel from planet to moon wait 30 seconds Va'Ruun,crimson Fleet,Ecliptic,Spacers and Starborn ships of all skill levels show up as you travel from planet to moon around the serpentes system. Destroy them collect the goods, land, sleep with your companion to gain an additional 15% extra xp take off and do it again or or exit the ship while landed and wait for the sonic boom and go steel a ship. You will skill up very just and apply those points where needed.
Some great tips thanks for the info :)
Hi SiNKiLLeR, i guess the level of the ship depends on the player's level. After watching your videos I boarded the Valentine which turned out to be a UC Voyager (plain, you can tell it by the reactor at 27). I was level 75 at that time (well, not so long ago, it was last week). Cheers
Space encounters are pretty damm random. Technically you could get a mk 3 at level 1 but its very rare. As you lvl up you should see more mk 3 landing but for space its going to mostly be the same chances with a bit more of a chance of getting mk 3s.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ When I captured it, at level 40, it was an A-class.
I have the Narwal...so if I just upgade the MSL and shield would that not be cheaper and better?
I guess it depends on what your wanting to do. I think its much cheaper to use this ship and then you can add and mod it how ever you want. Its a great base to start from. But The Narwal is awesome so unless you want to upgrade and mess around building a new ship then maybe this Valtine isn't good fit for you.
@@SiNKiLLeR_
Ive had the level 62 class B spawn 5 times and the level 40 class C 3 times and still no level 72 version... Masada does seem to spawn The Valentine more though
2:15 for you wondering about unable to access ships for no reason, i have seen in other videos that there is a bug causing this. It has something to do with Either the "Mett Emma Wilcox" Mission or you Editing your ship at "the Den" in the wolf system. I heard that a fix for it is to reload a save when you WERE able to enter a ship, and continue from there. (Sorry if you got really far ahead). I have no other information about this bug.
Man I wish I had seen this information sooner i came across that singing guy even complimented their singing 😢need to def upgrade pilot skills now
Its always a good idea to hit the piloting skills. Have you seen the quick way to max that skill? I did it the old fashion way but you can do it quickly if you need to. Can google get rank 4 piloting skills fast or something and you'll get a few videos on it.
Use the UC flight simulator, 30 mins to max piloting skill.
could you make a run at this ship without any companions to rat you out and then you avoid the bounty?
Unfortunately not :( When I tested this without I still got the bounty.
I decked out the UC ship i "found", and it doesn't quite compare to my built up Narwhal. I just need 9 more levels to get a third railgun to max out ballistic damage.
Crazy ship you have there this would be a downgrade haha. Narwhal is a beast.
Using the Novablast Disruptor EM weapon to avoid bounty may be a good idea
That in a really interesting thing to try. I will give it a crack. So the NPC don't die just stay stunned so you can still take the ship? I wonder how it works?
@@SiNKiLLeR_ I thought if you killed the last witness there was no bounty. Hmm
@@phatal808 I dont think that happens in orbit only on land but I could be mistaken.
Will the people just stay lying there stunned on your ship once you own it? Cause that would be inconvenient, but kinda cool.
Haha it would turn into a horror move in 0G . They will disappear after your next jump I think or soon after.
Better to wait for a mod to add this along with other various ships to vendors since I am playing as a good guy and don't want to steal ships from those that are not bad.
Yer I understand that path. Hopefully it wont be to long but I guess building your own is even better :). Wish you luck on a good play through. Might get tricky and I respect that.
The Pirate ship is quite a bit bigger than the valentine and cost $785,800 7:07
Haha yer the old hauler
The Valentine is the guy that sings right? I ran into him not too long ago. I don't think i will be able to get this one or a UC vista on my current game because i assume i will get a bounty, and i am trying to role play as a UC guy.
Yer its that legend that sings that glorious song :) . You can pick up Vista or any UC ship without a bounty in the case where its just the one guy outside the ship and you can just walk in and steal it. At least I don't think I got bounties from my bad memory. But you will defiantly get a bounty for taking this ship.
Ran into this ship a few times most recent last night. If you hail him he goes into a jump drive very quickly while responding to you. Still looking for the Vista. Cannot find that one at all.
You can always blame
It on the alcohol.
The actual ships name is the UC Voyager III
The name will depend on which one you find :) there is 4 different names technically for the Voyager 1,2 & 3.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ I found this ship -- as the Voyager III -- landed on a planet but it was locked as 'Inaccessible' and I couldn't board it :(
Bro… when he said buckle up.. I thought he was gonna be like.. “we goin on a trip, in my favorite rocket ship”
Bahaha If I only knw that reference before I made the video. That would have been gold.
Im a lvl 149, with all the skills on the ship page on rank 4, your vid has helped me to get this ship, but ....... in my game, the valentine came out to be a class A , sob
It can come as any class. You'll come across a class c at some point.
Crew: 6, i could have sworn i saw more than 6 when you infiltrated that ship. :D
Yer how the hell does that work haha. I wish we could have like 20 crew members and go raiding together or get raided and defend our ships.
There is an even better ship, and it's called Trader Highlander III. It's the Stronghold but with a 40 Power Reactor. Stats are 2200 fuel, 1578 shields, 1508 hull, 2360 cargo, 2013 mass, and so many auto turrets that do insane damage (27 Lasers, and 172 para)
With a stealth build you wont have a bounty or much cheaper.
Nice one thanks for letting me know. I did recently cover this Trader version see here if your interested. ua-cam.com/video/9VFU6Sizlk0/v-deo.html
The only ships that can keep up with narwhal, at least on paper, are vista 3 and crossbow 3. Is this ship better?
Its not better but id say this is the best to grab and upgrade your self since it saves a ton of money.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ lol yeah. Oh, and that reef 3 you showed was good too. Maybe you can show where to hijack these other ships in future vids.
I will try locate one I've found 2 but not 3's :)
I hopped over there, found and boarded the Valentine but it's a completely different, much smaller ship and it was level 32. I am level 76 so that didn't affect it. So it seems to be random.
Yer since its a random spawn you will get hit and missing but traveling to another system and then jumping between the moons and planets in Masada should mean it spawns at some point for you. Level's shouldn't matter from other peoples comments. Its just the random luck of it all.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ Yeah I am an idiot, your first line in the video is literally "...the VERY BEST VERSION of the Valentine..." but I guess I phased out :)
I have only seen had 1 of these ships and I can confirm I did steal it after it landed on a world, I forget the system so it may have been masada, as I frequent there often
Wow so you find this ship on a planet? Thats crazy cool.
The renegade 3, is the best class c ship, not the narwhale. Got mine in neon but i had to try several times as it doesnt always spawn. Now i just wonder how it stacks up to this ship. Could this one be better? Hmmmm...
Awesome that you got it! How much was it ?
Takes so much luck to get vendors showing it.
Hey SiNKiLLeR, I had a thought about the 'killed the last witness, so no bounty' mechanic.
If you bring any of your companions to board the ship and kill the civvies, doesn't that make them a witness you can't clear?
Heck, here's another thought: If you have a companion on board when you attack a civvie ship doesn't that already make them a witness you can't clear?
I also wonder if there's a difference between 'Crew' and 'Companion assigned as crew' when you attack civvie ships?
Anyways, if you orbit board solo, kill all crew (and if it's applicable, destroy all turrets) do you then get the 'you've killed all the crew so there's no witnesses, so no bounty' message?
Yo so that would make perfect logical sense and I should have thought about it like that. Strange enough I tried boarding a ship without a companion and I still got a bounty. I wasn't sure if having crew on my own ship counts as witnesses. I haven't tested the killing all turrets. I'll give that a try and see how it works.
Your crew will absolutely rat you out and give you a bounty when attacking and boarding any friendly vessel.
HAHAHAHA, I see that singer a lot and have seen this ship three times now but just don't have the heart to pirate it lol. He's a nice guy darnit....then that bounty plus registration!!! OUCH. Thanks for the info, that would almost bankrupt me so I'll pass until I get a mil in the bank lol.
*** FYI the Crimson Fleet Wight III has a 41 reactor but only 24 LY jump base. Stole that off a moon in one of the lvl 75 systems and I think it has the best reactor but definitely needs a better grav drive.
Its a hard decisions to make with that silky smooth voice and with awesome ships like the Crimson Fleet Wight III around its a easy pass for some. Crimson Fleet Wight III is a wicked good ship def worth it.
If you’re new to Starfield don’t bother. It’s an end game cruiser.
You only need piloting level 4 to fly any ship, the only reason to get starship design is if your building and modifying a ship, otherwise it is useless. If you can't pilot a ship it is ether because the game won't let you or you do not have rank 3 for B class and rank 4 for C class in piloting.
That was my understanding as well but others having issues sometimes even lvl 200 as per some comments. Thanks for clearing it up.
Easy no on this…no way I’m killing the sea shanty guy…he’s my favorite random ship to come across.
Yeah, he’s great… luckily somehow he still lives on, even if you take his ship and kill the entire crew. I’ve run into him twice after taking his ship.
It was a tough decisions but luckily he does live on. Not just in our hearts and mind haha :)
It’s actually just a Voyager III with a unique paint scheme and name. You can find other versions flying around similarly leveled areas.
I think the Voyager doesn't have 3 weapon types and is it the same reactor ?
The Mk. III seems to be a match overall. Not sure if it is a module-for-modufe match, but overall stats match. Again, approx lvl 75 (72??)
I'm not sure why everyone thinks the Narwhal is the most expensive. Plenty of ships for sale over 500k credits at high levels. ; )
@@SiNKiLLeR_yup same exact loadout. Used your method to find one
Yer your right the Mk.3 is the exact same thing. What levl are you ? I don't think there is any ship other then Mk. III I have seen so far. I'm level 84 so guessing I will see some some later and/or I always miss them at the vendors as the ships change.
Yes, a voyager III. I got it too, and the internal layout is bad. I replaced or added a few rooms, more engines, a different reactor, put the bridge at the front of the ship and replaced the landing bay by another one with a ladder, so most of the usefull things (workstations, laboratory, search station, bed) are now on the same floor.
I got this to spawn a couple of times, but it was only level 30 and 34. My character is level 33 so maybe it depends on the player level. Tried on very hard and still the same outcome.
It most likely does have some level impact but I also think it could be completely random for Valentine which will make it hard to trigger the Voyager III :(
Spacer Hyena 3 and Crimson Fleet Wight 3 are also some of best candidates for the 40-point reactor, but you'd have to modify those ships to your needs for them to be better.
Awesome I'll check them out :)
Yeah the spacer Hyena 3 is my bounty hunter ship, capture all the games ship with that.
I just got the spacer hyena 3
so this is basically the Voyager that you can buy & modify? same layout just better parts? could be a way to go if you decide to go ng+ and need a good ship fast. i got the vista 2 days ago, but i always just modify any ship i like the design of with latest & greatest parts and switch habs around so i can have the ones i need (most ship have so much wasted space you can better fill up), its the best part of the game for me just wish you can have more than 10 ships.
It is and it does have better parts. If I was doing ng+ I would grab this asap but I'm wondering if there is any addition conditions like level requirements but I don't think there is. Would levels even matter in ng+? Is another question I have. I like to do the same thing at the moment. Nice modding a decent ship to your liking.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ as far as i know only piloting and starship design are relevant, even starship design is not if you dont want to modify the ship with parts that need it. but many parts are also locked behind player level. im very much into the shipbuilding, have all 10 slots used, its very financially demanding to keep them all up-to-date since im not level 60 yet so not all parts are unlocked but i love every one of them.
When you pay the fees to clear your record does it also reset your lifetime bounty? Or is lifetime bounty permanent?
Also did it clear the murders from your character account? Thanks for the info!
No from my understanding lifetime bounty figure can't be changed its the total of all your bounties that have existed. Does not clear the murders either. Why do you ask are you trying to avoid those both?
@@SiNKiLLeR_ thanks for the speedy response! Yea I’m doing my best to try to keep M’s and lifetime bounty at zero. I was over at Masada and came across the uc reef. My hud said finish the crew or let them live. Really wanted the ship so i off’d the crew and caught m’s and bounty. I also tried to stealth melee the crew. I got to three crew members before the alarm went off lmao but I found out ships don’t go with us in NG+ so I moved on
Looks like the Voyager III just a different color scheme, Voyager III I've seen at the Landing Pad With Ship Builder in Outpost Builder, No bounty required 😅
Your correct its a disguise Voyager III :) its a great base ship.
@SiNKiLLeR_ just read your pinned comment 😅
You might be the first ;) thanks for dropping in .
I found a poor man’s version of the Valentine floating around Serpentis V. This version’s value is only 268,159. It has a 24 reactor; 2 crew; 22 LY; and 805 shield. I don’t know if it is worth paying off the bounty and registering this unsightly Valentine? I might just remove the hook from its’ mouth and toss it back into space!
Unfortunately Valentine can be nearly any ship in the game so there are some average version or even terrible ones :( . Best to throw this one to the see by the sounds of it.
I found one that’s level 54…. Before I raid them,,, My question is can I sell it the ship?
You can sell this ship for sure. You'll need to register it though.
So I came across this ship and had 6 goes at it before I gave up. I target the grab drive. Took it out of commission. Switched to the engines and could do no damage to them at all. My auto turret ended up destroying the ship every times. Why could I not damage the engines? Am at a loss!
Few suggestions for you.
1. You can always power down your auto cannons.
2. If your killing ships to quickly you can increase the difficulty
3. To damage the engine you might need to take out the shield as well, depending on your weapon setup. I think EM weapons are the exception to thag, I cant remember.
4. Make sure you lock on to the ship which slows time down a bit given you more time to power down weapons when you need to.
Without bonuses yes it's grav drive is at least best or second.
Thanks for confirming. I hope I said one of the best.
Wait..... what is the max amount of ships you can have?
Also I have been hailed a few time when traveling to a new location is this a trap? As I always been turning down these hail calls.
10 ships max without mods. Hailed to go to a new location I would 100% accept I've never been lured in Starfield. ou have to try it and let us know what happens.
at level 15 found it there
it was a lvl 52
not as powerful
but it will be some day
thank you Ser
I was wondering if level mattered for Ship spawns and been conflicting info so glad you got something decent :)
I couldn't dock with it after attacking the guy sing;ing. Another UC pilot in this ship will hail you to warn you about enemies in the area in 65-70 plus systems. I haven't attack them yet because Andreja would be beaching about it :)
Seems like you got two random events at the same orbit ? Thats extremely rare. Haha yer she will be cranky at you for sure.
If its all you say it is how'd you beat the snot out of it so easily?
Good observations and very fair question. I have a pretty insane ship and when I saw this ship I put the difficulty to normal. I also got very close to it. Its a great ship to mod and build from.
I have encountered this ship 2 times in the Serpents system. Lvl 55 system.
Awesome :) thats great to know.
Pretty cheap bounty from my standpoint. I had to pay 271k for a bonty last week. See, what had happened was...
Bahaha bro that's the good stuff right there. What monstrosities did you commit? ;)
@@SiNKiLLeR_ Well, I became a member of the Crimson fleet. After that I went to some monn, not sure where, but I was leveling my pick pocketing skill. Like everyone else, I was learning the game at that time but had a good amount of credits. I picked one of the fleet not knowing they were friendly to me now; they don't attack members. After I did that and was caught they wanted to fight so Sarah and I wiped out the whole base. I get back to the Crimson base to complete a challange and the guy stops me and says pay him 45k. I said NO! and he attacked me. I killed everything that came through the door and excaped. Then saw the bounty of 271k LMAO!! I eventually cleared it.
He flys so many different type of ship. The 2 you shown I haven't seen him fly yet...so I think the ship is also randomly generated.
Yer your correct its still randomly generated so element of luck as always but you will come across it.
I just got one, thanks bruh, spawned in the Linnaeus system.
Awesome :) should serve you well :)
Can you leave your companions behind so they don’t hate what you’re doing?
I think you can as long as its not a main quest companion. But main quest companions will follow you every where even after telling them to stay put.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ Damn, I really don’t want to Sarah to hate my character
Would love to see maybe a compilation of you stealing/finding ships
That would be fun. Which is better just gameplay or gameplay commentary ?
@@SiNKiLLeR_ gameplay commentary I think. Or at least some sort of structured gameplay. There are tons of folks just streaming or uploading videos of gameplay by itself. Maybe set a goal of finding “the best” class c ship and go for that? Love your content! Good luck!
Awesome I'll try put something together :)
Yay!!! You did it! The Valentine video is awesome! Thanks dude!
Funny thing is this ship has been spawning for me but I don’t do piracy so never noticed lol
Will you dare to walk the path of captain jack sparrow for this ship? I have to admit walking around dropping lvl 1 crew didn't sit right haha.
I got the three engine version. I'm only level 23 though. also I paid 69000 to register but only 1600 in freestar collective bounty
That could be the Autobarn MK III judging by the rego cost. Thats the 2nd most valed ship in the game.
also I had rank 4 piloting but no star ship design
I already let the Valentine go with dialog. Does it ever spawn again?
Yes
Yep it will respawn infinitely just have to find Mr Lungs. Try to quick save as soon as you hear the singing.
Thanks Ben :)
damn was excited but my upgraded narwhal is at 3200 shields 2500 hull and 7500 cargo so I guess I will just stick with that
Bahah yer this would be a down grade for you!
Found two last night level 34 and a pathetic level 6, need the level 72.
No not a a level 6! What the hell kind of ship gods would do that. What level are you cause the higher your level most likely the better the chances.
I've been to this location 4 times now trying to find this ship and nothing. But, every time I go I get attacked by pirates, bounty hunters (I have the "Wanted" trait which is AWESOME!), and Crimson Fleet. My current ship is a former Crimson Fleet Wraith III.....which turns out is on par with this ship. Worth $479k but has the top-of-the-line shield, good turrets, and components, which is really what you are looking for when going after ships. It was foolish enough to attack me and now it's mine. But, I was in a Class-A and was woefully under leveled to take it on and it killed me 5 times in a row before I lowered the game difficulty enough for me to be able to defeat it....those darn turrets are brutal!!!
If you haven't boarded a high tier, massive ship, before.....it's a fun fight once you get inside the ship. I must have had to kill 15+ enemy crew members to get the ship cleared to take it over. Now I didn't see these until I had my Ship Design was at lvl 2, so maybe that's why UC Vista isn't showing up for me. I also think I might lose my companions if I kill a bunch of UC and take their ship, you might want to wait until NG+ to go after this. Anyone know???
How did you go any luck yet? I would try switch to another 75 system and travel to each moon and then another until I find it. Masada is a good starting point but not the be all end all for this ship unfortunately.
Wow you stole a wicked good ship already and going from A class A that would of been a hell of a fight. Don't worry I lower game difficulty to when I need to. That situation called for it for sure.
I'm still not 100% sure why ships don't spawn and maybe ship design has something to do with it. Most companions wont attack with you but they don't leave either they just get angry. I hope you find this ship and have some luck soon. Cheers :)
@@SiNKiLLeR_ After many, many, many trips and 5 C-Class ships later......it finally spawned. But my luck is shit and it was a basic one, not the upgraded specially painted version.
I saved my game before attacking it, as I still am playing the first playthrough, and it instantly pissed off every NPC on my ship when I attacked!
Once the fight was over and I checked the stats, it was less than a $400k ship with just ho-hum guns and parts. I reloaded the game and let her fly on past.....
I ran into this ship again, well not actually the same ship, and it was named the same, sang the song, and same NPC interraction....but, it was a different ship entirely! Still, not the extra special rare one shown in the video.
What I did find out though, the Class C ship I commandeered in the story I laid out in my original post is actually a rare version of it as well....special paint and top tier parts and guns.
Cool video ,the only thing that makes me wana buy this from a vendor ( neon is it?) Rather than hijacking it is last one i stole i spent all credits making end game ship and it did that horrible dissappearing bug 😢 i heard it doesnt bug if you buy them but does if u pirate them
Oh shit I haven't seen that bug. That sounds horrible. Unfortunately I dont know away around that. But I've had no issues stealing any ship other then the Guardian When people say end game ship. What do they mean?
@SiNKiLLeR_ lol its horrible bug ,tried everything to get my ship visible ,sold it in the end and continued on. I think End Game means the player has something that is good enough to make it to the end and use it throughout the game before later stages...I think ! Thanks for the reply too. Much peace
Thank you and hopefully no more invisible ship bugs after next patch.
Dang are all the good class C ships in Masada? Ive been trying to get the Vista for like two days. First time i found it. I already had 10 ships. Lol
Vista is a tricky one. I'm trying to reproduce for a updated video and its not easy. Yer the 10 ship limit is sucky but you can remove ships or there is a mod that allows more ships.
Can you upgrade the crew to 8?
You could easily swap one of the Habs for a battle station to get a huge crew
Yer you should have no issue getting 8 crew from my understanding. You might ned rank4 starship design and I think there is another per or thing you need to be able to actually get all crew on your ship.
Cheers dude..I'm level 70
Oh nice one! good return on investment for sure.
