Hey All, A few people have pointed out they prefer the default/unique all in one hab as it also includes a bed anyway. So choose your preference, but note if you delete the default on you can't get it back. I've been using the captains quarters all of my playthrough but of course you go with what you like most!
To summarize, the Frontier module has: a bed, a research station, a cooking station, and 2 passenger slots; plus unique visual clutter if that appeals to you.
@@XoRandomGuyoX Thank you for the recap!
I tried to follow your guide . Problem i have is i dont have the ship parts available that you have. Am i missing something? how did you get them
I'm playing on Xbox and I did the guide 100% but it says the ship cannot be finalized due to errors and flight section they want me to sign a third weapon
put BETTER engines on, DON'T ADD engines. Adding engines raises the power bar for engines which means you need to spend more energy to get to max speed. Rookie mistake. smh
The ship builder could use an "Inside Preview" Option.
Yes
true iv wasted alot of time saving and loading just to see what inside looks like
I’d like to customize furniture inside too
I'd like to be able to watch live sports on the monitor in there.
Unfortunately the closest thing Starfield gamers have rite now is whatever video guides get put on UA-cam + any game Wikis people bother to compile & post on the Net 🤷♂️
You can fill the third weapon slot with an EM weapon and just not dedicate any power to it. This way you can take down the shields or destroy ships with the beam weapon and missiles, but if you want to board the ship, you can reroute power from the missiles to the EM weapon once you drop the shields. This will allow you to take out engines easily if you want to board enemy ships without potentially destroying them. It won't affect your overall effectiveness because you can just not have them powered when your goal is destroying rather than boarding.
Makes it super easy to steal ships if you want to build more or farm the enemies on the inside for more exp.
@@justinb3209that works too but I have had a couple times where the angle is wrong and I'm shooting the actual ship and not the engines. Destroyed a couple ships I wanted to board on accident that way.
I've just stolen a B class ship and doing this method, except for the third weapon I am now using an auto turret with just 1 bar of power routed. Seems better than nothing and allows for passive damage too if I'm dealing with multiple enemies
Like the emp80 or emp1000?
Would you say boarding the ships and killing everyone is more worthwhile than straight up gunning them down with your ship?
@@Ecliptor. If you board the ship and kill everyone, you can steal it, register it and sell it, plus you get more of whatever cargo they had, so stealing gets you more credits, but also takes a bit longer.
I struggled for over an hour trying to correct all the flight errors making a custom ship and then ended up just reloading my last save and giving up. I will be using this design for sure. Thanks a lot for this!
The worst is when I finished a large build and there's an error about a module not attached. The error should highlight the parts that need fixing but nah I need to reattach everything to find which module is not attached.
I just found out that double clicking any component will select all connected components. So in case of any unattached component you couldn't find, double click and drag the main portion of the ship sideway. The unattached component will be left in the original place.
The video was very thorough and helpful enough...then I come and check out the comments. EXTREMELY helpful everyone, thank you for your contributions. Ended up taking bits from commentors to really customize the Frontier and its awesome!
Just keep the Frontier module... the Captains quarters actually doesn't add anything that the Frontier module doesn't have already.
If you deleted it take the All-in-one A module, it is the same, but it is missing some themed items like the broken helmet.
The All-in-one A usually has a bed, research station and a cooking module, also 2 passenger slots.
If it doesn't have any of those three, then you might have to change the location to the left or right, since things move depending on where doors are.
Yeah, the default module of the Frontier matches that All-in-One then: bed, research station, cooking station, and jump seats for 2 passengers.
@@XoRandomGuyoX There is one difference, a Storage Box that holds 150 weight.
Kept the module but the themed items still went missing and my captains locker was empty.
@@idiopathictendencies8453 When you modify the ship, the loose items and the captains locker to into the freight storage.
BUT I noticed, that all loose items that come with the modules are actually duplicating themselves. Meaning they could respawn in their places on the ship.
Fpr example every time I modify my ship I get a copy od the broken helmet in my storage.
Sorry for the probably stupid question but why would we want the broken helmet ? (I sold it before customizing the ship....)
DO NOT DELETE the Frontier module! It is uniquely named and spawns the broken Constellation helmet. It has a bed and research station, enough for a start. I would get the captain's crew quarters and control hub as they both have a storage crate with 150 capacity for 300 total, which is very handy for storing stuff early on when you're hurting for cargo space and don't have the funds to offset low mobility with weapons and engines. Workshop and research modules seemingly make sense, but I wager you're probably going to be spend a lot of time grinding at first. I'm 50 hours in and on hardest difficulty, I have enough stupid to throw at my enemies without bothering to update any single of my weapons or equipment. Combat is quite satisfying, I'm drowning in med packs, and I rarely buy things. I mostly sell my loot, just so much loot I barely have enough cargo space. Crafting in this game is not nearly as satisfying as it was in Fallout 4.
I don't know how he missed the bed in that tiny room. Also how often do you really have the option to research new things? I'm all about convenience, so storing all my resources in the infinite chest in the Lodge, and waddling down the stairs to the basement is the easiest option
Sad some things have gone backwards from f4 and even Skyrim.
it seems as if even if you leave the default module and just add other things onto the sides. that you still loose the unique spawns
Once you pick up the helmet, what’s the point of keeping the module?
@@shinobinsg1539 that has not been my experience. I have the Broken Constellation Helmet and Barret's notes spawning without fault.
I didn't quite have available to me exactly what you have - haven't unlocked some of the components - but just having you guide me through each of the ship components and suggest each upgrade was huge. Great guide! Thank you so much!
I've been struggling with ship building the last 2 days after I stole a pirate ship and tried to upgrade it. This video really explained things better than any others. I wish that when choosing modules there was a preview of what each one looked like inside. Loving the game but as a UI designer, there are some UI quirks that feel not thought out well or just bizarre.
Just finished watching 4 videos on this exact subject and yours is by far the best bang for the buck, and the most expositional (in a good way). Thanks!
THIS VIDEO!!!!!! Mate, this is BY FAR the easiest to understand "How-to" vid ive seen so far !!!!!
I was already subbed, but man, you outdid yourself here imo!!!
Tyvm for this piece of excellence bossman!!!
this is why i always watch guides even after learning tons.. i never knew about the windows. this will make things more immersive for sure,
Great build, although I had to realize myself that the Amun-1 engine has abysmal efficiency... 5660 thrust for 100 mass, meanwhile other engines can have double or more than thrust for the same mass. The problem is that those other engines are side-mounted, but you can provide the side mounting if you do the following: when you're replacing the grav drive to a stronger one, choose the one that has side mount options, and actually move it below the power plant, effectively switching the position of the back cargo and the (upgraded grav drive). Then you can add the side mounted better efficiency thrusters underneath the other thruster pair.
The starting center hab has a bed already and feels a lot more open when entering the ship.
+ it has 2 passenger Slots which you lose by changing.
+ you have a place to cook which the other habs other than the Gally as a 3x1 don’t have.
@@oBlackIceo the science lab actually has the galley, it is after the research lab and the pharma workstation.
but i agree that i prefer the original hab module in the middle to keep the bed, and the more open floor plan
@@patricfriberg2678 the galley wouldn’t let me cook. I kept trying to interact with different habs with galleys but to no avail. You’re specifically look for a “cooking station” as opposed to a “galley. in order to cook I suppose.
@@oBlackIceo i have had no trouble cooking in the science galley, i just did it less than three minutes ago, had to go to the far end of it, the game is new so i am not surprised if they are still trying to work out some bugs. sorry that you had problem with it.
This tutorial is excellent. XP and Credits aren't an issue for me (I was late to ship building), however, this budget build was excellent for getting me started.
Thanks for walking me (us) through it.
Top tier content mate! Used your build almost exactly and love it! That extra cargo space makes the game more enjoyable during early game as well
The lack of cargo space has been the most infuriating thing about this game so far.
I put all my early game points into carrying capacity and then oxygen capacity. Helped a little but the real difference is when you start upgrading your ship to 1000 - 2000+ cargo space. I never worry about it now. @@dagrumpz8661
I know this makes me look stupid, but when you double-clicked and you where able to change the color of the whole ship, my mind was blown. That alone made it worth watching.
Hehe glad to help!
Personally, I'd keep the default hab, which has both the bed and research station, and just add the workshop hab in a vertical position. Save a bit on mass, and the only thing you lose inside is the pharmaceutical bench...which I've never had a reason to use anyway. You find soooo much medical items all over the place
Thanks so much! I didn't find upgrading the ship to be intuative at all and was struggling (apparently watching every episode of Star Trek ever didn't prepare me for Starfield) - so thank you :)
Thank you very much, I have played many many hours, and was frustrated on the building aspect. You have made it clear, and now I have the basic down. MUCH appreciated.
Mate, thank you so much - you're the first person that has succeeded in showing me how the ship building system works! Subscribed and thanks again.
I usually avoid guides like the plague until I have done a playthrough, but there is so little info in game on this and not being able to even get close to a ship battle without being blasted, well here I am and this was so well done I subbed just to say thankyou.
Followed your guide almost to the t. Slightly different add-on engines, but virtually identical stats. Works great, freaking love having all the work stations. Thank you.
I absolutely love the ship design however I don’t personally like the captains quarters in the very middle of the ship. The captains room should be private from everyone as it’s your room. :)
For those having issues with the ship component options being limited, you MUST be in Atlantis for those options to appear. I was in a different city on a different planet in a different system and those options were not available to me I assumed i was not far enough into the story for it but upon following the directions completely I realized I needed to be in this city. This was the situation for me so if someone else is having the same issue as I was thats the reason. Follow exactly what he is telling you to do and it should be smooth sailing/exploring. Each city has a ship component "theme" and specific parts are only available in those cities so if you don't find what your looking for chances are your on the wrong planet/system. Hope this helps, happy building/exploring👍
Went and did this twice, first to build my ship, then again to really understand what it all means. Fantastic video, much appreciate the effort you put into this.
Very helpful thank you. Playing on hard hasn’t been that difficult but with ship combat….If there are 3 or more ships I’m screwed
If they’re around your level you should be able to win. It took me a few tries but I eventually took them out.
On very hard its literally imposible to kill ships if there are more
Damn, haven't been here since PS4's Monster Hunter. Glad to see you still making quality content
Wow! This is the build/video I was looking for. Gives me everything I want and need. Thx Arekkz!
Excellent video! Thank you for that. It gives top notch info on both a particular topic and some help on starting to upgrade and even build generally. Very useful! But are there any necessary skills you need as a prerequisite?
Man, I have been completely lost when it comes to the ship building feature, but after watching your video, I think I can give it a shot again. Thanks for the detailed info, very much appreciated it!
Nicely done, best explanation/tutorial I have seen on ship building
Maaan, finally someone made me understand ship building. Now I enjoy the jumps and even mining the asteroids on the orbit of the planets. I thought had a bad start on the game and after 30+ hours was thinking about to restart. You saved me from another character creation. 🤗
Absolutely beautiful video i finally understand how the building systems work. thank you
Great guide. For some reason I'm at the same spaceport with 60k but I don't have access to a grav drive that will support these. Wonder how I can get access to the proper grav drives?
Space combat is really kicking my butt and I had no idea about the many options I have for ship upgrades and building. I want a ship that can fight but can also take punishment from enemy ships. Thank you for the video.
An interesting build...I've never thought of trying out the PB-30 Electron Beam Weapons (@8:12)
I wouldn't delete the orginal Hab or Cockpit of the FRONTIER, cause they are not buy backs.
Play your ship until you make the Credits to buy a new ship , or steal one.
Personally I would focus in order :
1) *Shields*
2) *Weapons* (Vanguard mission = Tau Ceti gives you access to *_4 or more Vanguard Obliterators Autoprojectors_*)
3) *Grav Drive* to increase the Weapons power systems
4) *Engines* for Space Combat mobility
5) *Fuel* to increase distance jumping from system to system
6) *Cargo* increase for more Resources
7) *Habs* for comfort and looks
Thanks a lot for this video. I just recently had a chance to play Starfield, and I’m loving the game. I reached 3 or 4 missions that had space fights and I hated them. This really helped me in my play thru and understand the ship builder better.
Very nice job and easy to understand. This was one of the things I was rather timid about thinking I would "break" the ship. Thank you...
Excellent video! Just what I was looking for.
An absolutely brilliant and clear explanation - thanks so much!
Huge help thank you for this! Doing this every NG as well so it helps get used to the ship builder
I find that early game a one weapon system is best. You can dedicate all energy to one weapon system and your rate of fire will increase. Idk if damage increases also, but I don’t think so.
You can keep missile systems though, putting only 1 pip of power in them, and be fine since that only affects reload time. Just remember that you have to keep an enemy ship on screen long enough for the 'locking' bar to switch to 'lock' in order for the missiles to gain tracking. It is true though that, at the moment(because it might get nerfed in a patch), swapping weapons for a main cluster of particle cannons with maxed power works wonders.
Brilliant guide, I had no clue about shop upgrading as Im still new and was struggling with a few dogfights - thank you for this.
I’ve been playing for 4 days time and I just found out about the different variants of Habs. Wow this game is amazing lol thanks for showing!
Great video! But available choices in my game were a bit different. Also, I kept the original Frontier module. It had a bed, and just has that cozy, familiar look. It also has a research station and kitchen, so all the science module really adds in a ddition to that is a pharmaceutical station.
Your Video made my day! So much more room and capability! Thank you!
Thanyou for info, starting this game and thought ship building was going to be a pain glad to see it simplfied a bit, and on my starter ship no less
This was a helpful video! I'd already stolen a couple of better ships, but switching out to these specific weapons and shield upgrades and dropping the 3rd weapon has definitely upped my space combat game. Thanks for the info!
We three minutes in and you've blown my mind. I'm sitting here looking at the ship builder like "HUHHHHH". I'm dumb!
I did the same but I had the cockpit at the right hand side, assymetrical, and added some Stroud nice curvy "fangs" on the other. Pretty nice stuff, what this game allows for.
Thank you for taking the time to make the video. I tried to do this exactly as you did on the Xbox but I could not get the Helios 300 it only had the 200 so I went with a different module and I was unable to make the build work. I had too much mass. I messed around a bit and it worked out in the end though. :D
Not sure if this is different depending on where you build, but for me the workshop module had a research station included. As this is all I need, there was no need for a science lab for me. I also don't use the bed, so all I did was replacing the Frontier module with the Workshop module, which is super cheap and does no need any other upgrades yet.
Update on that: Deimos and Stroud workshops have a research station included, while Nova and Hopetech workshops have not
Dude, using a bed is a must. Sleep cures illness, restores health to full and gives u 10% bonus EXP for 24 hours, all for just 1-2 hours of sleep.
I recommend joining vanguard first as even before you do any real missions for them you get access to a few goodies for ships like a great energy weapon (11shield and hull damage at 3000 range for just 2 power each) and a great grav drive to replace the frontier's starting one for the same size/shape/weight.
Nice vid. Learned a couple of things. Did similar changes, but, removed lasers for Disrupters and removed Missiles, and Balistics and put in a pair of the PB-30's. May regret it later if I find I really needed missiles, but, so far the Disrupter pair and PB-30 pair seem to be working well together.
Just use one weapon type..in my case the electron beam and pump it to max..watch ships dropped like flies
Electron beams rule!
What a fantastic video Great job! You earned yourself an instant subscriber :-)
Thanks for the video. I followed it and now it looks nicer. Thanks again
Very good tip thanks you.
Happy to help 😁
You helped me with this so much. Now I really understand how ship upgrades work :) Thank you.
some of the options were not aviable for me what level do I need to be for the upgrades?
Yay, I started last week and I put about 18 hours into one character but I didn't like her background and I made her a UC Citizen but I wanted her to be more of a nomad so I restarted and now I'm happy with my Enlightened Pilgrim. I have $80+ so I'm ready to upgrade my ship and start an outpost!
Great vid, been looking for some good Starfield content, very useful ... subscribed!
Awesome video, liked, subscribed and here's a comment sir
Sweet. I plan to keep the Frontier for a while this time through, and this is a fantastic vid. Thanks...
Thanks very good video. What skill is it that allows you to assigb 4 or more staff to your ship?
Thank you for this. Finally got around to playing more Starfield. The system is so bulky and unintuitive I had to look for help. This has got me started. At least for building starships.
Few things to consider if you want to min-max A class ships. I would go one weapon type only, easy to manage energy and only one damaging perk required to be effective. Beam weapons are highly recommended they do everything good.
- Shield Generator: 30S Protector vs Marduk 1010-A. You get better Shield capacity to price ratio with 30S and it has 5 max power instead of 4 on Marduk.
- Electron Beam: Disruptor 3300 vs PB-30.
59% less cost for 8% less DPS and 86% more range.
- Engines: overall the best in the game engines in scope of rates of Mass/Health/Thrust/Manoeuvre/Price will be White Dwarf 1020 for better Manoeuvre and White Dwarf 2010 for better thrust (heavier ships). 4800 and 6350, but you need other dock that sell them.
As for other best value out of your money:
- Grav Drive: Helios 300 absolute champ if you don't want to invest in ship research perks both in A and B classes
- Reactor: 360T Stellarator same here, great value without investment for both A and B classes.
- Cargo: Actually the lowest cost one has best ratio of Mass/Cargo/Price, but if you are low on wielding points 116 mass cargo will be second best.
- Fuel Tank: 900T He3 will your best Mass/Fuel/Price ratio with M50 Ulysses He3 being second best.
While i was writing this comment i noticed that only reason to go for Class B ships without ship research will be PBO-100 Auto Neutron Beam. An i think it's not worth to go to Class B for me personally or i need to invest into ship research perks to validate going Class B ships.
I tried to follow the guide . Problem i have is i dont have the ship parts available that he has. Am i missing something? how did he get them? eg Grav Drive: Helios 300
@@tracks681 level, higher your level more parts available.
Thanks for the info@@CPyJIb
The default frontier hab, the all-in-one's, and the living quarters also have beds and they include a galley for cooking which the captain's quarters doesn't. The only issue is that the beds can sometimes end up replaced with a doorway depending how you arrange the habs.
Where'd you get the Helios 300? It wasn't available when I did this.
the only difference between this ship build and another i followed before is that the other one was more for exploration so they kept the guns where they were, and kept the nova galactic frontier hab in the middle and i prefer that hab as it is more open and still comes with a bed, the weapons in this vid is what i was most interested in. and i added the nova galactic control station for the crew slots and future proofing. only annoyance with that is that i added it ion top of the original so if i dont board enemies or other ships directly from the pilot seat i have to climb up a ladder to get to the top airlock
I was trying to build a ship but doesn't have the skill to build it. So i head out to farm xp and come across a ship docking in port. In a way thanks to your video, i know now that you can steel a ship without being caught or raise any alarms. So all i have to do now is just upgrade a bit here and there
Thanks for the video! I appreciate that you went slowly to make the interface much more understandable, before that, ship building was pretty daunting and uninteresting due to the barrier of entry just from a UI perspective!
You gave me some ideas for moding my Frontier. Thanks!
Excellent build. I tried it on my 'burner' file before starting over and it works so much better than the default. Only thing is that you've said around levels 10-15. I just hit 10 and I still haven't unlocked some of the stuff you recommended, such as the Helios 300 Grav Drive and the new shield generator. I can't seem to find anything online that tells you what level things become available at and I was building up to being able to do this as soon as I could this time around. Don't suppose you can be any more specific?
So, it turns out that you actually need to be 14 to get all the parts. Maybe put a note in the vid when you say 10-15?
Thanks for the video, very helpful to upgrade the Frontier early (and a good tutorial for the build mode). However, in my game, I don't have the Helios grav drive an the Marduk shield. But the global modification are still doable with lesser part
Just the appearance is awesome enough to get a "Like." That looks fearsome.
This helped me a lot to understand the ship builder. Thanks!
This was super helpful "The Frontier" can take more hits.
Okay I've found that without certain skills and acquired level some of the items you use in this build are not available. Can you list where you were in ship skills and level to make this ship?
thank you. very concise and to the point. plus great little tidbits of information. awesome content.
I followed your video and upgraded to your exact specs, which I am very pleased with / But now I am thinking .." Should I keep All of my resources on The Ship? I have been told that storing most everything in 'The Lodge Basement' is more secure, and thus immune from sudden loss from a possible game bug where ship cargo suddenly vanishes! But maybe all my most critical items should all be moved to The Lodge just in case?.... Thanks
Thank you, this ship help me beat the crimson mission I was stuck on!!!!!!!!
New sub here just from this vid. Thanks for all the great info!
Only the Helios 100 and 200 are listed for me. It's actually pretty much everything is only the 200 series. Nor is the Marduke shield available. I think these were only available during the pre-release play maybe? I'm level 9. I don't know what the problem is
Ya, I'm level 8 and only have the 100 option. I don't have that disrupter or shield either. Maybe they are level unlocks?
Yea it's level based. Kind of a shame no one could say that. Kind of a shame no one gives a shit :)
Thank you..!! I upgraded the starter ship (because Cargo) -for the first time-. I used your Video.
What not worked for me is the Module "Rotate" function.. / Mouse 3 ? / I must look at my Keyboard/Mouse settings the next days.
Can you do a razor leaf early game build? Doesn’t look like anyone has posted one yet
Thank you for this video!! Seriously helped me soooo much with ship building. Thank you, thank you, thank you
Do you need a ship building skill for Helios 300? It was not listed for me. Had to settle on the 200.
Also, thanks for the tutorial. It was easy, and I really love the new ship.
Thank u so much this helped me loads 🤘
Double Click to color the whole ship DUDE!!!!!!! Great video, time saver....
Awesome video. Been stumbling with game in design and this helps greatly. Thank you!
Nice video, thanks. I was wondering what's the difference between the captain hub and the Frontier one? The Frontier has a bed, a research station and can have passengers. So why is the captain one better? Thank you
I just prefer the captains quarters as its what I'm used it, it has a bed and an extra 150 storage box. But the default one has a bed, cooker and research station. So pick your poison! :)
Great video, and tips.
I've been using this ship and it absolutely wrecks everything in my path. Can you make a follow up for a next ship for mid game
Thanks for the tips
I had no idea about the double click to colour the whole ship, nice tip!
Thank so much for this guide. Now I feel like I have a decent starter ship!
I don't have the Helios 300 grav drive in my list. Do you need a skill for that? I chose the R-2000 Alpha instead and that uses a bit more power but works fine. Otherwise great video, very well explained. Thanks!
I couldn't access the Helios 300 either and opted for the r2000 alpha as well. How's the ship been running so far with it?
@@acidic6706 Ship is doing fine. Problem is I still haven't gotten the hang of the dog fights. Matter of practice I guess.
You got my sub this is a life saver. tyvm
