It's worth mentioning that you can claim a ship as home in your inventory and also register from space. Simply sit in the captains chair to take possession, tab to menu, bottom left corner select the ship icon, set the current (new) ship as your home, and then register it in the same screen (H and then G I believe?). Now when you exit the menu you will be undocked from your own ship automatically. Simply turn and target your original ship and then dock. Board it and then take off after the next victim. No need to return to a station at all until you're ready to sell.
Couple tips here for space fighting. Using boost will evade locking misles. It’s better to use target skill after taking down the shield. Cause the shields will protect the specific part/ the whole ship. Lasers take shields down very fast. And the ballistic type does allot of hull damage. Hope this helps. Go get em Captain 🚀
FYI: There is a bug with the Den where if you've captured a ship and go to the Den to register it, if you change your home ship from your newly stolen ship back to your usual ship, you will bug your game. If you enter your home ship, you'll find yourself on New Atlantis and when you go back to New Atlantis at any point, parts of the city will be missing including some key vendors. There are also issues that can arise with your ship being invisible or ladders disappearing or any other number of things. So if you're going to sell your ships, don't do it at the Den.
That happened to me when I took the stolen ship to the Red Mile. Switched my home ship back and go outside and the ladder was gone and I could jump through the parts but they were glitched out. So I don't think it's just the Den.
@@jessywallace3907I had this same thing happen but had the ship technician available in NA. Talked to him and chose “modify my ship” option, once the ship loaded on the grid I just added some cheap structural thing to it, saved the modification and when I exited out my ship was back to normal. Give that a shot.
If you're a part of the Crimson Fleet (pirate faction),farming the smuggling and piracy missions on their mission board terminal especially if you grab a bunch at the same time and do them is a good way to make credits and get decent xp, also they are fun to do.
Agree with that. Just accepting all crimson fleet missions, doing them and coming back gives u like 30k + u dont have to wait to sell ur contraband. Its just a thousand times faster

Yes. Stacking is a Hard AFFIRMATIVE. They stack Incrementally. For instance. With Shielded Cargo and 2 scramblers at 50%, I had a 85% chance of detection evasion. With 3 at 50%, I had a 89% chance of detection evasion. *Note, I had 9 pieces of contraband on board*

Also note: it’s 48 hours Universal Time. If you’re on a planet that advances one local hour for every 12 universal, you only need to wait for two hours.
You can bypass the scanning process if you put an outpost outside of the city you choose to land on. So instead of their starport its a landing pad outside.
@@3InchFinch I imagine it can't be an outpost in a different "tile" of the world. It has to be a site that you were able to walk out of the city directly to?
When you choose to land in this game on a planet, if you choose a different icon on the terrain than normal, it generates a big instance with its own content. it will not be linked with other bases or content in close proximity. So to make an outpost or 5 in the same vicinity as a city, you need to land in a city and physically venture outside its boundary so you are able to build as the city has a big barrier that denies placing an outpost. When you pick up any contraband item, you will notice the big cities with scans will be locked out until you get rid of it. You also can't give contraband items to companions since they can be a loophole if you remove them off your crew, they will go back to their original positioning at the lodge or somewhere. A useful tip for companions and moving resources through encumbrance, while you can't fast travel with it maxed (on foot), you actually CAN start riding a ship, but pull open the map to a point and fast travel to the lodge with the ship while encumbered.
The time needed to wait is dependent on where you're waiting. It's 48 universal hours, but you can only wait 24 local hours at a time. In some places, 1 local hour = 2 universal hours and thus you only need to wait 24 local hours. I believe this is the case in either Cydonia (Mars, Sol) or New Atlantis (Jemison, Alpha Centauri)
I’ve just been playing regularly, saved up 300k~ish credits, didn’t know what ship to buy, so I bought the one called “shield breaker” from New Atlantis, was a pretty good purchase, I’m broke af now, but I got a 2k storage, 5 crew carrier that has tier 4 weapons and auto-turrets. And I’m only level 19 with barely any points in piloting. Tbh I just wanted more storage because of my long hauler background 😂 ended up getting one of the better early/late game ships I guess
If you complete the mantis mission, you get the razorleaf, which is good for early game. Then, from there, if you complete the mission to become a freestar ranger you get the star eagle. That is by far the best early game ship that I've found. It's got good weapons, shields, and a lot of cargo space. Plus, it comes with a brig. So if you join the trackers alliance you have cells for prisoners.
If you're an avid ship designer this may also be a good method for getting cheap hulls since you can't build from nothing, much cheaper that buying brand new and you don't have to sacrifice any of the free ships you get
This is a really good idea! When my piloting skill is high enough to buy all the parts from places, I'm definitely doing this. But nothing is stopping me from stocking up on the ships for their hulls, so thanks! That is a really damn good idea.
Tap E when targeting, don't hold it too long, as holding E kicks you out of the cockpit. Super annoying when in a busy space dogfight. Then get close enough and it shows the R to press to Target Systems, but its easy to miss during a busy fight.
imo you get so much loot the commerce skill isn't worth it because vendors only have 5k or 11k credits. Bethesda really messed up the economy when the biggest hurdle is just waiting for vendors to refresh their credit pool. So, to be clear, higher commerce skill just means more waiting. Probably not worth it.
Forget all this. Just go to Security HQ in Neon, go the contriband cache in the back, take it, sell it at Trade Authority. Go to Andraphon or Porrima IV-d, wait for equivelant of 7 days which wont take long atall due to the large time dilation and repeat.
If you get around to testing the scan jammers, don't forget to try testing different rank jammers to see if they stack. Some games block same level items from stacking but not separate ranks. Meaning rather than using 3x 30% jammers, to get 90% you would do a 10%, 30% and 50% to get 90%.
you can confirm if they stack by getting 100% or more and if you still get scanned then you know they don't stack because at or over 100% chance of not getting scanned means never
Depends on how they work. If it's a 30% chance for each of them to work, it could be 3 attempts to block with each attempt having a 30% chance which would equal to 65.7% total chance to block.
Btw I literally found a UC Vanguard ship for free, you go to the lodge at the edge of the city and then path across that big lake into the wilderness. Once you take and fly a ship away you can register it.
Good to see you covering games I am playing again! I use to follow you when I started playing RDR2 and loved all your videos. Just starting out in Starfield and hope you cover a lot of content for this game.
The Scan jammers do stack, I placed two 50%, which resulted me just landing into Akilla without any interruptions or scans, it went straight to the landing pad.
@@xoso599 a couple of times so far, eventually after writting this, they did scan me once, I passed the scans but it did happen anyway, so I think it's random
You can also make an outpost and put up a mission board to take missions as well. Along with building a starport right at the outpost for yourself! It's pretty useful. Though I just realized it has no credits so you can't actually sell a ship there. Still has a ton of ship upgrades in one spot.
A couple points into pick pocketing before you even leave New Atlantis, pick pocket all store vendors, special named characters(besides the ones that you can hire to ship, you can't pickpocket them), all officers in MSAT building. Every one of these npc's have 700-900 credits, just quicksave before attempting. Easy money. Had over 100k before I even left town. Plan to do on the rest of the inhabited worlds too. As far as xp, doesn't really give you that, but if you want a BA ship before you even start, do this :D
Early on if you've got loads of loot to sell but the vendor doesn't have the cash, just load up on ammo to offset it. Some ammo is quite difficult to get large quantities of, like the Bridger ammo etc.
Making money is pretty easy in Starfield. Once you finish the faction quest lines you get access to really easy radiant quests that are really quick and pay pretty well
I'm still using that ship, albeit modified to my liking. Got rid of the brig and the nacelle pylons/struts. Stuffed in a research lab and workshop and even some extra cargo, it's a damn good ship for working towards higher pilot level. Fairly roomy, too.
@@jeffallen8304 Maybe viewport is different but I also get a lot of "deliver cargo from a to b or transport passengers from some place to another. Ranger quests only involve combat and more often than not space battles so it is usually more efficient since you can pick up 3-5 at a time
I found a thing with one of the vendors in New Atlantis. If you are a diplomat with the barter(or whatever it's called) skill you can sell stuff to them and buy it back for less than they paid you can repeat it till you have all of their credits.
First started watching you when Ancestor Humankind Odyssey released when you had I believe around 400k subs. Glad to see you finally hit 1mil subs. Keep it up man
Oh my god this game is unreal, I’m not on the fence at all, I love it!! I come off for a break, see a video like this and have to go straight back on!!
Fun fact; if you warp into a new system and get hit with a target scan, if you warp before it finishes scanning you can evade the faction there. The bounty placed on you is only like 1000, so cheap to remove.
You just answered my question of why did I have a ~800 credits bounty from the UC. They just showed up while I was out like the Legion ambush squad in NV and I got scared
24hrs absolutely works if its SLEEP I've done it repeatedly at NA. But resting doesn't work.your right about that. Weird that its different, but it is.
Local time = Depends on the planet ( just like Interstellar movie ) UT (Universal Time) = Actual time you need to take into consideration Vendors respawn their stuff 48 Hours Universal Time, so you do the math, some planents or moons have 1 hour local time = 12 hours/24 hours Universal time Some others, 1 hour local time = 1 hour Universal time Always take this into consideration for some stuff you guys might be doing
@@Argento_Wolfsearch this guys vids, he posted a walkthrough to get it. You get the ship and legendary armor that’s pretty ugly but the stats are really good.
@@Argento_Wolfwhen you kill enemies with the name “Spacer” loot their bodies for an item called “SECRET BASE!” read the plans and it will unlock a mission called ‘Mantis.’ follow along that quest line and you’ll get the Mantis spacesuit and the ship, which is actually called the Razorleaf, just piloted by the “Mantis”
@@J-mc7kzUgliest helmet in the game. But, still worth doing before the Rangers, as it's a single quest and really powerful loot that will help you on the long Ranger line.
I had a problem with things respawning here until I decided you can go to Venus and wait a day they're on board your ship and then come back in the universal time will be so accelerated forward that you'll never have a problem with things respawning here again
I highly highly recommend that you finish the story mode as fast as you can first but for spoiler reasons I cant say but trust me just focus on story first then when your done do anything you want without worries
It's worth mentioning that in these bigger ships they often have a ton of food items in the shelves, usually in the areas with ladders. The ship you showed in the video had around 50 food items you can just grab from the shelves, selling for a lot of credits
Additionally, if you sell a ship that has all that stuff on it, it will automatically transfer all those loose items to your new home ship's cargo hold. So instead of running around looking for all the loose items, just sell the ship and check your cargo.
@@eXponentia Honestly to me it is more about time invested vs reward. Having all these misc stuff that sells for like 1-5 credits takes forever. Looting a ton of food also takes forever. Also non of these things give exp. So in terms of profit per ship it might be better to loot everything. In terms of profit per hour and exp per hour grabbing only the most valuable and easily accessible stuff an run for it is probably better
@@Sadreath Again, if you sell the ship you loot nothing. Just make sure your home ship's cargo is empty, and after selling the stolen ship you go to the trade kiosk, sell from ship and just spam sell everything. Takes 5 seconds.
@@eXponentia Yes but you have to fly to a system where you can sell it, patch it up, register it, sell it and then sell your storage which with the amount of crap those ships usually have takes me way longer than 5 seconds. Basically you go through 5+ loading screens to get rid of cargo and the ship that maybe nets you 10k more than looting the best shit and getting out of there. And you make no exp in the meantime. If you ask me that is not worth it unless you are really strapped for cash.
I have a bug where all of the loose items on the frontier respawn in its cargo every other time i fast travel so ive been just milking the like 8000 that keeps giving me 😂
6:10 I think I know why everyone keeps getting this wrong. Everything in the game is processed off of UNIVERSAL TIME (UT), not local time. And those are NOT always the same. Whenever you wait anywhere in the game, you select a number of hours in LOCAL TIME. As an example, Venus has an incredibly slow rotation, and the game has actually factored that in. So when you wait for "1 hour" of local time on Venus, it's actually waiting for *100 HOURS UNIVERSAL TIME!* So the people who think it's 24 hours to reset the vendors probably did that the first time and they happened to be on a planet with more than a 2:1 ratio of UT:LT. They waited for what they thought was 24 hours, but in UT it was more than 48, so the vendor restocked and they assumed 24 hours was all they needed.
@@endencker6845 When you’re about to be scanned by a ship it’ll say you have a percentage chance to avoid detection. That’s the only way I know atm. Hopefully that helps.
yeah. works with any load zone. load in on hardest difficulty, change back to normal (or easiest even) and the loot stays the same. including the gear the enemies have. i HATE that i know this, and now you know. sorry.
How to get rich fast 1. Luck sack into the 50% reduced weight of weapons stat on a piece of gear, 2. Kill. 3. Sell everything. Can easily get 100k or even 200k worth of inventory if you have the max weight perks and magazines.
I haven’t experienced stacking with the scan jammers but I have experienced stacking with the comspike and conduction grid unique ship parts from the crimson fleet so I would assume the scan jammers can stack as well. And if you ever forget you have contraband on you ship without a shielded cargo hold and you’re getting scanned you can still land on the planet without getting scanned you just can’t land in the main city HOWEVER you can’t take off from the planet and go back to orbit or they’ll attempt to scan you again so you have to go into your systems map and choose the wolf system and set course from the planets surface to sell your contraband at the Den
I had my captains locker completely filled with contraband, fast traveled straight to the Star Port on jemison, and it never scanned me. I was already landed. Worked easily. Sold it all down in the Well.
I have had more luck making money, simply grinding missions and taking all the guns to sell. This weekend, I made just shy of 1m. I'll have to try this again this way, too. Contraband seemed slow to me the way I was doing it. I definitely wanna try again using the abandoned base.
I think what people are getting confused on for the waiting times saying 24 hours vs 48 hours is that on the waiting screen there are 2 times shown, local time and UT time. 24 hours of local time is like 50 hours of UT time, so I think people saying wait "1 day" is then reading the local time and not the UT time, which is 48 hours.
And it depends what planet you wait at. Waiting 24 hours on Venus, will fast forward 2000+ UT hours (cant remember the numbers right now as I'm not at home).
@@tubbyjedi1 yeah way better other than it doesn’t have shielded cargo but that’s only 1,000 credits to add for the basic at red mile and the one they gave you is 200 fuel and 27 light year jump so you can practically jump anywhere faster
I could be wrong but from what I'm understanding in my own testing they do stack but not how you think. For example if you have two of them at 50%, it's not going to be 100% chance to shield it's going to be 75% chance. The reason why is the first one will drop it to a 50% chance to get caught. The second one will then take that 50% and drop it by 50% meaning you now have a 25% chance to get caught.
Even after the recent past you can still sell a ship without registering it. The ship has to be after a ship you own, press lb and a on the ship you own and it will sell the next ship in
Don't forget if you find some other a little basic outposts or abandoned military bases you can actually find a lot of contraband there too I didn't know where to sell it so thinks this video I do now
a Full Day on Jemison (New Atlantis) is 50 Universal Time (UT) hours. Though CJ's will say it's open 59 hours, so I assume they originally intended for Jemison to be 59 hours. But still for 24 Local Hours on Jemison being 50 UT Hours, I can assume people were confused by that.
I dont know how big the difference is but I had a stolen ship that to register at a vendor it was 8k but for me to register in my own menu it was 6k, and selling it was 13k. Try it and it might give you some more money.
When you do the quest for the artifact on akilla if you enter the cave on very hard there's a contraband chest inside. I opened it once and there were threee stacks of 10 inside. Also a great way to check if the scan jammers stack is with the Mantis. Default it has a 69% chance to evade. with the duel frequency jammer that gpes up to 77%
i think the 24 hours part is because they stay at a planet that have a different time than the UC time, cause when you wait you can see in the clock 2 time zone separately. Somer planet 24 hours meants 48 hours like when you sit in New Atlantis, if you wait a full 24 hours it meant 48 hours so the vendor reset.
I've waited on several planets, (most of the ones you can reach at level 1) and they all reset credits in waiting 24 hours. One wait/sleep bar cycle. 24 hours local time.
@@NoblessObligee there are 2 clock, the main one is 24 hours, if you stay on new atlantis there will be an extra clock that said UT time. So you might have missed those. And one day one Atlantis is like 50 hours so the vendor reset. I like to go to Jemison vercantile and sell all my random stuff and buy resource and ammo, then run to the cafe next door and sit on the chair right outside the door and wait for a full 24 hours. And it can't be 24 hours cause i did that on The Den and it only said 24 hours and i have to wait 2 time for the TA guy to restocked.
The reason people say it's 24hr vs 48hr is because different systems have different times, if you have 24 local hrs and 24hrs UT then you have to wait 48 hrs. If you have 48 hrs local time for 24 hrs UT then you only wait 24 hrs UT, Space Math.
Nice Video! Ps: In fact you have actually wait ecact 40 hours for the vendors to get new Credits and they have new items either. Same goes for Fallout 4, NV and 3 and TES 4 and 5. Greetings
FYI, found a fun glitch in main story line, if you jump directly to the lodge, to drop off artifact, the door will not open and the marker will move. Always jump to the docks.
Did you know about those computers in the casino you went to? Put in the code from the safe room computer into the computer where the contraband is. Little surprise 😉
People keep saying wait 24 hours because a day on New Atlantis is 49hrs universal time. So if you wait 24 NA hours, you’ve actually waited enough to restock everything.
Also selling contraband to the Trade Authority and then buying it back before you leave the menu “launders” said contraband making it contraband no longer. You buy it back for the same amount you you originally sold it for so no money lost either. One caveat it needing to go to Wolf or some other planet/station you don’t get scanned
😂 you thought 😅. Class A will net you maby 1200 credits after registration fees. Class B got me just shy of 3k. You make more exploring for half an hour and going to sell everything at a vendor who holds 10k credits. Waiting 24 hours on a chair or bench and repeating until you have sold all the guns and armour. Makes me 50+k an hour depending on rarity and loot found.
@@NoblessObligee 🤣I was mostly talking about the contraband and stuff. But it's true you can make a ton on the stuff you mentioned from base clearing, etc.
I read somewhere that you can simply drop contraband on the floor of your ship and fly through the scanners b/c it is specifically looking in your inventory / cargo holds and not at the interior of your ship itself. Don't know how well this works (or if it was later patched) as I've not tried it myself.
I found the easiest way to make money and xp is jump to a level 70 solar system land on a planet with life and go hunting i have a breech shotgun that is basically a sniper and each level 70 animal you shoot you get 110xp which is about the same as one mission. I went from level 15 to 47 yesterday and go to out posts and wipe them out to get loads of loot and sell it. it's quicker and quite fun, just land on the planet on very hard mode and once off the ship turn it to very easy.
The wait time is based off the universal time so for example Venus if you wait one hour on planet it is actually 100 hours of universal time so pay attention to the UT number for the waiting time that is wait the vendor resupply is based on
Thay say 24 hours cause of different time flow on different planets. Vendor's inventory, resource gathering are tied to Universal Time, and for example on Jenasin (whatever) 24h local time = 50h Universal time. So here u have to wait only 24 houra to refresh vendor's inventory. However on other planet local time can flow faster, and local 24h = let's say 24h uni time. Which means that at some vendors u have to wait more than 24 hours local time. For example on Venus via planet exploration u are able to find some vendors, at best with chairs in the vicinity. And although these vendors usually are low on credits (5000 is a regular amount), the trick is that on Venus 1h local time = 100h uni time. So u don't have to spend much time counting hours u need to wait. So selling process takes not that much time comparing to other
Maybe he just didn't show it in Vid but in the Algemest spacestation in the office with the 3 safes the computer will have a combo for the jackpot which is on the terminal in the contraband cache hold behind the large vault
It's worth mentioning that you can claim a ship as home in your inventory and also register from space. Simply sit in the captains chair to take possession, tab to menu, bottom left corner select the ship icon, set the current (new) ship as your home, and then register it in the same screen (H and then G I believe?). Now when you exit the menu you will be undocked from your own ship automatically. Simply turn and target your original ship and then dock. Board it and then take off after the next victim. No need to return to a station at all until you're ready to sell.

This is a really good idea! When my piloting skill is high enough to buy all the parts from places, I'm definitely doing this. But nothing is stopping me from stocking up on the ships for their hulls, so thanks! That is a really damn good idea.
@@crusifucktiongamedev.39 remember you also need starship design for all the parts!
Tap E when targeting, don't hold it too long, as holding E kicks you out of the cockpit. Super annoying when in a busy space dogfight. Then get close enough and it shows the R to press to Target Systems, but its easy to miss during a busy fight.
Just to mention: Store the Contraband on a Outpost (or lux apartment) and sell it, when you have the Skill Commerce Rank 4 for 25% more credits
I always had that on fallout 3/4&Vegas and I'd get ton of caps and farm crazy
imo you get so much loot the commerce skill isn't worth it because vendors only have 5k or 11k credits. Bethesda really messed up the economy when the biggest hurdle is just waiting for vendors to refresh their credit pool.
So, to be clear, higher commerce skill just means more waiting. Probably not worth it.
@@SpacePopeIIIYou can just wait for 2 days for vendors to refresh their credit, it's an annoyance but it's workable
Forget all this.
Just go to Security HQ in Neon, go the contriband cache in the back, take it, sell it at Trade Authority. Go to Andraphon or Porrima IV-d, wait for equivelant of 7 days which wont take long atall due to the large time dilation and repeat.
If you get around to testing the scan jammers, don't forget to try testing different rank jammers to see if they stack. Some games block same level items from stacking but not separate ranks. Meaning rather than using 3x 30% jammers, to get 90% you would do a 10%, 30% and 50% to get 90%.
you can confirm if they stack by getting 100% or more and if you still get scanned then you know they don't stack because at or over 100% chance of not getting scanned means never
@@RossMalagarieit’s a Bethesda game they stack
Depends on how they work. If it's a 30% chance for each of them to work, it could be 3 attempts to block with each attempt having a 30% chance which would equal to 65.7% total chance to block.
@@arthurziborov3023 I can confirm they stack I been playing the game
@@patrickmartin4327 confirmed?
Btw I literally found a UC Vanguard ship for free, you go to the lodge at the edge of the city and then path across that big lake into the wilderness.
Once you take and fly a ship away you can register it.
Good to see you covering games I am playing again!
I use to follow you when I started playing RDR2 and loved all your videos. Just starting out in Starfield and hope you cover a lot of content for this game.
The Scan jammers do stack, I placed two 50%, which resulted me just landing into Akilla without any interruptions or scans, it went straight to the landing pad.
How many times have you done that?
60% of the time, he got away with the loot every single time
@@xoso599 a couple of times so far, eventually after writting this, they did scan me once, I passed the scans but it did happen anyway, so I think it's random
Where do you getbthe jammers
You can also make an outpost and put up a mission board to take missions as well. Along with building a starport right at the outpost for yourself! It's pretty useful.
Though I just realized it has no credits so you can't actually sell a ship there. Still has a ton of ship upgrades in one spot.
A couple points into pick pocketing before you even leave New Atlantis, pick pocket all store vendors, special named characters(besides the ones that you can hire to ship, you can't pickpocket them), all officers in MSAT building. Every one of these npc's have 700-900 credits, just quicksave before attempting. Easy money. Had over 100k before I even left town. Plan to do on the rest of the inhabited worlds too. As far as xp, doesn't really give you that, but if you want a BA ship before you even start, do this :D
Early on if you've got loads of loot to sell but the vendor doesn't have the cash, just load up on ammo to offset it. Some ammo is quite difficult to get large quantities of, like the Bridger ammo etc.
Wow, that's actually really clever. Thanks!
This is what I do also I get white hot and sometimes MI
Making money is pretty easy in Starfield. Once you finish the faction quest lines you get access to really easy radiant quests that are really quick and pay pretty well
If you finish the freestar ranger questline, you get a pretty nice ship for free too which can really help with the ship combat part.
Amazing class A ship with all super high tier components. 29 power
Nice. I'm going to grind towards that one. I've had to quickly tab on a planet to bypass pirates I can't quite kill…
Yah man that ship is damn good.
I'm still using that ship, albeit modified to my liking. Got rid of the brig and the nacelle pylons/struts. Stuffed in a research lab and workshop and even some extra cargo, it's a damn good ship for working towards higher pilot level. Fairly roomy, too.
Im doing it rn bro im so glad to hear its good
Got a tip for ya, there is a mission board in new atlantis in the bar called viewport, they tend to be in bars
Those are not ranger missions though but just general missions
@@Sadreath yes but they are the same missions to hunt down crimson fleet captains, I do them all the time and have never started the ranger quest line
@@jeffallen8304 Maybe viewport is different but I also get a lot of "deliver cargo from a to b or transport passengers from some place to another.
Ranger quests only involve combat and more often than not space battles so it is usually more efficient since you can pick up 3-5 at a time
I found a thing with one of the vendors in New Atlantis. If you are a diplomat with the barter(or whatever it's called) skill you can sell stuff to them and buy it back for less than they paid you can repeat it till you have all of their credits.
First started watching you when Ancestor Humankind Odyssey released when you had I believe around 400k subs. Glad to see you finally hit 1mil subs. Keep it up man
Oh my god this game is unreal, I’m not on the fence at all, I love it!! I come off for a break, see a video like this and have to go straight back on!!
Fun fact; if you warp into a new system and get hit with a target scan, if you warp before it finishes scanning you can evade the faction there. The bounty placed on you is only like 1000, so cheap to remove.
You just answered my question of why did I have a ~800 credits bounty from the UC.
They just showed up while I was out like the Legion ambush squad in NV and I got scared
24hrs absolutely works if its SLEEP I've done it repeatedly at NA. But resting doesn't work.your right about that. Weird that its different, but it is.
Local time = Depends on the planet ( just like Interstellar movie )
UT (Universal Time) = Actual time you need to take into consideration
Vendors respawn their stuff 48 Hours Universal Time,
so you do the math, some planents or moons have 1 hour local time = 12 hours/24 hours Universal time
Some others, 1 hour local time = 1 hour Universal time
Always take this into consideration for some stuff you guys might be doing
I find it funny that every UA-camr was like do this first or get this first even tho all of it will be irrelevant because of NG+
NG+ is also optional can still continue on with out starting NG+

Mantis ship comes with shielded cargo bay. And i think that any shielded cargo module will just add a 50% buff to not being detected
How would I get the mantis ship?

@@J-mc7kz Nice thx
@@J-mc7kzUgliest helmet in the game. But, still worth doing before the Rangers, as it's a single quest and really powerful loot that will help you on the long Ranger line.
The game started off really slow….I wasn’t sure I was going to like it. I’m really into it now….it’s a really good game
I had a problem with things respawning here until I decided you can go to Venus and wait a day they're on board your ship and then come back in the universal time will be so accelerated forward that you'll never have a problem with things respawning here again
I highly highly recommend that you finish the story mode as fast as you can first but for spoiler reasons I cant say but trust me just focus on story first then when your done do anything you want without worries
It's worth mentioning that in these bigger ships they often have a ton of food items in the shelves, usually in the areas with ladders. The ship you showed in the video had around 50 food items you can just grab from the shelves, selling for a lot of credits
Additionally, if you sell a ship that has all that stuff on it, it will automatically transfer all those loose items to your new home ship's cargo hold. So instead of running around looking for all the loose items, just sell the ship and check your cargo.
@@eXponentia Just becareful of Contraband hiding on that ship when you try to sell it and get scanned.
@@eXponentia Honestly to me it is more about time invested vs reward. Having all these misc stuff that sells for like 1-5 credits takes forever. Looting a ton of food also takes forever. Also non of these things give exp.
So in terms of profit per ship it might be better to loot everything. In terms of profit per hour and exp per hour grabbing only the most valuable and easily accessible stuff an run for it is probably better
@@Sadreath Again, if you sell the ship you loot nothing. Just make sure your home ship's cargo is empty, and after selling the stolen ship you go to the trade kiosk, sell from ship and just spam sell everything. Takes 5 seconds.
@@eXponentia Yes but you have to fly to a system where you can sell it, patch it up, register it, sell it and then sell your storage which with the amount of crap those ships usually have takes me way longer than 5 seconds.
Basically you go through 5+ loading screens to get rid of cargo and the ship that maybe nets you 10k more than looting the best shit and getting out of there.
And you make no exp in the meantime. If you ask me that is not worth it unless you are really strapped for cash.
I have a bug where all of the loose items on the frontier respawn in its cargo every other time i fast travel so ive been just milking the like 8000 that keeps giving me 😂
6:10 I think I know why everyone keeps getting this wrong. Everything in the game is processed off of UNIVERSAL TIME (UT), not local time. And those are NOT always the same. Whenever you wait anywhere in the game, you select a number of hours in LOCAL TIME. As an example, Venus has an incredibly slow rotation, and the game has actually factored that in. So when you wait for "1 hour" of local time on Venus, it's actually waiting for *100 HOURS UNIVERSAL TIME!*
So the people who think it's 24 hours to reset the vendors probably did that the first time and they happened to be on a planet with more than a 2:1 ratio of UT:LT. They waited for what they thought was 24 hours, but in UT it was more than 48, so the vendor restocked and they assumed 24 hours was all they needed.
The razerleaf ship you get from the mantis mission, starts with a shielded cargo hold
Fr ? So you can run countraband directly?
you can go to the red line and buy them from there early as well
Excellent... Now I can Transport all the Contraband I want...
24 hours has always worked for me for the refresh. Given I don't do the 23:55 option but the 25hour one (noticed it didn't work on the 23:55 one).
I think there's some confusion with the local time versus the universal time, 24 universal does the refresh, but local time changes wildly.
I'm on xbox and 24 hours always works for me.
Same.
This video was LEET long!
Props @TagbackTV
They stack for sure. I have 8 10% jammers and my scan jammer is at 65%. They stack but it’s diminishing returns.
Where do you see the 65% number?
@@endencker6845 When you’re about to be scanned by a ship it’ll say you have a percentage chance to avoid detection. That’s the only way I know atm. Hopefully that helps.
Wait. So you can set the difficulty to very hard before entering, change back to normal and get the very hard loot?
yeah. works with any load zone. load in on hardest difficulty, change back to normal (or easiest even) and the loot stays the same. including the gear the enemies have. i HATE that i know this, and now you know. sorry.
How to get rich fast 1. Luck sack into the 50% reduced weight of weapons stat on a piece of gear, 2. Kill. 3. Sell everything. Can easily get 100k or even 200k worth of inventory if you have the max weight perks and magazines.
Good to see your back I do miss your Red dead vids lol
Thanks for another tutorial Tag! Hope you have been enjoying your time playing it by yourself!
I haven’t experienced stacking with the scan jammers but I have experienced stacking with the comspike and conduction grid unique ship parts from the crimson fleet so I would assume the scan jammers can stack as well. And if you ever forget you have contraband on you ship without a shielded cargo hold and you’re getting scanned you can still land on the planet without getting scanned you just can’t land in the main city HOWEVER you can’t take off from the planet and go back to orbit or they’ll attempt to scan you again so you have to go into your systems map and choose the wolf system and set course from the planets surface to sell your contraband at the Den
I had my captains locker completely filled with contraband, fast traveled straight to the Star Port on jemison, and it never scanned me. I was already landed. Worked easily. Sold it all down in the Well.
Your videos are always top notch and very informative. Thank you
One of the best videos I’ve seen yet on this subject, you got a subscribe from me. ✌🏼
I have had more luck making money, simply grinding missions and taking all the guns to sell. This weekend, I made just shy of 1m. I'll have to try this again this way, too. Contraband seemed slow to me the way I was doing it. I definitely wanna try again using the abandoned base.
I think what people are getting confused on for the waiting times saying 24 hours vs 48 hours is that on the waiting screen there are 2 times shown, local time and UT time.
24 hours of local time is like 50 hours of UT time, so I think people saying wait "1 day" is then reading the local time and not the UT time, which is 48 hours.
And it depends what planet you wait at. Waiting 24 hours on Venus, will fast forward 2000+ UT hours (cant remember the numbers right now as I'm not at home).
The best class A ship you can get is the one your parents will give at some point if you have that trait and keep visiting them
Is it better than the razor leaf you get from the mantis side mission?
@@tubbyjedi1 yeah way better other than it doesn’t have shielded cargo but that’s only 1,000 credits to add for the basic at red mile and the one they gave you is 200 fuel and 27 light year jump so you can practically jump anywhere faster
Sometimes if u register while still in space or the planet itll be less then doing it at the authority.
You can craft chems and gourmet foods with gastronomy and chemistry. Easy money.
I could be wrong but from what I'm understanding in my own testing they do stack but not how you think. For example if you have two of them at 50%, it's not going to be 100% chance to shield it's going to be 75% chance. The reason why is the first one will drop it to a 50% chance to get caught. The second one will then take that 50% and drop it by 50% meaning you now have a 25% chance to get caught.
Great guide. I had a bounty on Neon that was 400k and now I can finally do my main missions.
Damn 400k wtf did you do murder the entire city😂
Even after the recent past you can still sell a ship without registering it. The ship has to be after a ship you own, press lb and a on the ship you own and it will sell the next ship in
Thank you for spoiler free videos. Love the channel.
I glitched with selling a coin.
Sold it to the merchant in Neon City, and was supposed to get 500..
It added 500,000,000 instead.
Don't forget if you find some other a little basic outposts or abandoned military bases you can actually find a lot of contraband there too I didn't know where to sell it so thinks this video I do now
@1:10 I prefer planets going down on me😊
You had me at "some of these involve going down on planets"
a Full Day on Jemison (New Atlantis) is 50 Universal Time (UT) hours. Though CJ's will say it's open 59 hours, so I assume they originally intended for Jemison to be 59 hours. But still for 24 Local Hours on Jemison being 50 UT Hours, I can assume people were confused by that.
I dont know how big the difference is but I had a stolen ship that to register at a vendor it was 8k but for me to register in my own menu it was 6k, and selling it was 13k.
Try it and it might give you some more money.
If you go to a ship services technician who also sells ships you can sell the ship without registering.
Does doing the whole quicksave, attack the vendor, load the quicksave loop work like it did in previous BGS games?
From what I can tell, yes
When you do the quest for the artifact on akilla if you enter the cave on very hard there's a contraband chest inside. I opened it once and there were threee stacks of 10 inside. Also a great way to check if the scan jammers stack is with the Mantis. Default it has a 69% chance to evade. with the duel frequency jammer that gpes up to 77%
i think the 24 hours part is because they stay at a planet that have a different time than the UC time, cause when you wait you can see in the clock 2 time zone separately. Somer planet 24 hours meants 48 hours like when you sit in New Atlantis, if you wait a full 24 hours it meant 48 hours so the vendor reset.
I've waited on several planets, (most of the ones you can reach at level 1) and they all reset credits in waiting 24 hours. One wait/sleep bar cycle. 24 hours local time.
@@NoblessObligee there are 2 clock, the main one is 24 hours, if you stay on new atlantis there will be an extra clock that said UT time. So you might have missed those. And one day one Atlantis is like 50 hours so the vendor reset. I like to go to Jemison vercantile and sell all my random stuff and buy resource and ammo, then run to the cafe next door and sit on the chair right outside the door and wait for a full 24 hours. And it can't be 24 hours cause i did that on The Den and it only said 24 hours and i have to wait 2 time for the TA guy to restocked.
Always amazes me how fast people manage to progress in new games.
Love when I go ship jacking landed ships 😂. This game is hilarious to play sometimes
This was a lot of great info. 👍🏼
The reason people say it's 24hr vs 48hr is because different systems have different times, if you have 24 local hrs and 24hrs UT then you have to wait 48 hrs. If you have 48 hrs local time for 24 hrs UT then you only wait 24 hrs UT, Space Math.
Thank you for this interesting info which I needed to make more credits and loot. You earned a subscriber!
Good old Timothy Olyphant playing gunslinger Sam, a blatant homage to his
'Justified' days.
Except it isn’t him, just Elias Toufexis doing his best Olyphant impression.
Nice Video!
Ps: In fact you have actually wait ecact 40 hours for the vendors to get new Credits and they have new items either. Same goes for Fallout 4, NV and 3 and TES 4 and 5.
Greetings
You can also steal contraband from Neon security (refills randomly) and sell it at the nearby trade authority.
FYI, found a fun glitch in main story line, if you jump directly to the lodge, to drop off artifact, the door will not open and the marker will move. Always jump to the docks.
Did you know about those computers in the casino you went to? Put in the code from the safe room computer into the computer where the contraband is. Little surprise 😉
Thanks man, great work here
People keep saying wait 24 hours because a day on New Atlantis is 49hrs universal time. So if you wait 24 NA hours, you’ve actually waited enough to restock everything.
Surveying planets is very boring but levels you up pretty quick
Indeed it does, I can't bring myself to do it though lol
@@TagBackTvtotally fair i had to have a couple beers and turn my brain off for it 😂
Also selling contraband to the Trade Authority and then buying it back before you leave the menu “launders” said contraband making it contraband no longer. You buy it back for the same amount you you originally sold it for so no money lost either. One caveat it needing to go to Wolf or some other planet/station you don’t get scanned
I had no idea I could board enemy ships 😄 Now I can really make some money.
😂 you thought 😅. Class A will net you maby 1200 credits after registration fees. Class B got me just shy of 3k. You make more exploring for half an hour and going to sell everything at a vendor who holds 10k credits. Waiting 24 hours on a chair or bench and repeating until you have sold all the guns and armour. Makes me 50+k an hour depending on rarity and loot found.
@@NoblessObligee 🤣I was mostly talking about the contraband and stuff. But it's true you can make a ton on the stuff you mentioned from base clearing, etc.
Would love to see a walkthrough from u
“I don’t know how no body knows about this yet”
Playing the game before it is even released
lol ya
I read somewhere that you can simply drop contraband on the floor of your ship and fly through the scanners b/c it is specifically looking in your inventory / cargo holds and not at the interior of your ship itself. Don't know how well this works (or if it was later patched) as I've not tried it myself.
Very informative, thank you!
I found the easiest way to make money and xp is jump to a level 70 solar system land on a planet with life and go hunting i have a breech shotgun that is basically a sniper and each level 70 animal you shoot you get 110xp which is about the same as one mission. I went from level 15 to 47 yesterday and go to out posts and wipe them out to get loads of loot and sell it. it's quicker and quite fun, just land on the planet on very hard mode and once off the ship turn it to very easy.
The wait time is based off the universal time so for example Venus if you wait one hour on planet it is actually 100 hours of universal time so pay attention to the UT number for the waiting time that is wait the vendor resupply is based on
Thay say 24 hours cause of different time flow on different planets. Vendor's inventory, resource gathering are tied to Universal Time, and for example on Jenasin (whatever) 24h local time = 50h Universal time. So here u have to wait only 24 houra to refresh vendor's inventory. However on other planet local time can flow faster, and local 24h = let's say 24h uni time. Which means that at some vendors u have to wait more than 24 hours local time. For example on Venus via planet exploration u are able to find some vendors, at best with chairs in the vicinity. And although these vendors usually are low on credits (5000 is a regular amount), the trick is that on Venus 1h local time = 100h uni time. So u don't have to spend much time counting hours u need to wait. So selling process takes not that much time comparing to other
Great video! Thanks!
You need to have higher piloting skills to get some ships when you raid them... learned that the hard way.
ohhh ok thanks
Great video thank you!
