When looking for pirate systems you can set the filter to conflict and just look for the red systems - pirate systems are always red on the conflict scanner so it can cut down your search time in the galaxy map.
You don't have to worry about moving everything from your freighter cargo holds. In the compare screen, if you hit q or e you will swap between inventories and you can simply transfer everything over to the new one, just like if you are swapping or selling a ship.
Take the first Freighter you come across, it doesn't matter what Class it is, as It's just a means to an end, Try to upgrade the Freighter warp drive and get an interstellar scanner, and also the conflict scanner for your ship. Use your Freighter to look for planets that are pirate-controlled Systems, like the one at 3:58 Don't jump to that one, jump to one next to it, that isn't a pirate-controlled System, then get in your ship and jump to the pirate-controlled one, and the chances are you'll find one. I've also found there are usually more pirate-controlled ones close by, as many as 5 or 6 sometimes, but I do find the Dreadnought will stop spawning after 3 or 4 times, so go play some missions for a bit and repeat the process. I find that 30 minutes or so will do the trick. Now, this Is important, and the main reason for not reloading your save until you come across an S-Class, and also the thing that every video I've seen regarding getting an S-Class Dreadnought fails to mention. You will need to farm the Dreadnoughts to get the 21 S-Class upgrades It drops, So even If you get an S-Class on your first go you should still continue to farm them This fella Is a pro and because he took those guns out before the Dreadnought destroyed the civilian ship, he got a payment instead of the S-Class upgrade, and a pants payment at that. The best thing to do Is take out the engines and wait at the back inside the Dreadnought shield until it destroys the civilian ship, then take out the guns, and thus get the S-Class mod. I take the 5 guns at the back down to within an inch of their lives out of sheer boredom waiting for the civilian ship to die, but you do you. You don't need a Freighter to farm them but it's not that hard to get a 2k Hyperdrive on one, and that opens up a lot of map. I also wouldn't install the S-Class upgrades you get until you find your S-Class Dreadnought. You'd be gutted If you found one and forgot to take them out. I got one on my 6th try but didn't see another one until my 20th. I have 22 S-Class upgrades on my Dreadnought now, and she's a beast.😉 Oh, and as a bonus you can also hire the pirate frigates, get an S-Class or get them up to S-Class and they become Pirate Battleships. Sorry Caster but I'd pin this comment, remake the video showing all this, and then delete this video, but that's just a suggestion. ✌✌✌
I got several S-class upgrades from killing the dreadnaught without taking out the big guns. Just the warp engines and fuel rods.
Not a problem! Sounds like another video on how to get freighter upgrades! 👍
@@CasterPenn Haha, Indeed, but you can never have too many videos.
@@marsrii4372 Interesting. Did you get several from the same Dreadnaught? and did the Dreadnaught take out the civilian ship first?
@@_Daio_ no, just one per dreadnaught, but not consistently. Maybe every other kill?
One tip to add, if you've got the matter beam installed on your original freighter, you can remove your technology mods from the bridge of your new freighter. You just have to make sure you remove the matter beam last or you won't be able to remove the rest. I figured that out the hard way, lol.
i have only been playing for a week, or so - i lucked out and got an A class on my second pirate battle - I'm happy with that. When I'm bored later on - I'll go hunt an S-class. lol
@frederickmiller5492 are you enjoying the game? That is lucky! I was the same, an A Class is still very good 👍
Honestly even a C class is more than enough for most people when it comes to freighters, they can still hold a bunch of stuff with the storage mods and there's not much difference outside of that.
The majority of players only need to worry bout ship class when it comes to the starship instead since that will be used for virtually everything.
@@josephcool981I nabbed a C class one of these and it has served me well enough. Tbh I am happy with it and my fleet.
@@josephcool981i care cause i like having maxed everything
@Marshalbrake562 spoken like a true gamer lol
Hi! Thanks for the video! I got random an A-Class Star Wars looking Battleship. The stats of this ship where better as the stats of the Dreadnough and it had more turbo slots.
You're welcome @anrakspumante5958 glad I could help. Nice! Sometimes it's not always the best thing to change and stick with what you like.
There is also the filter that can be changed to look at conflict places only. Though, from my experience, it's not all that accurate. It still will show peaceful and the like places.
I lucked out and got an S class.... on my expedition! argggh. Wow is it a beautiful ship.
@Rich4098 amazing! And Frustrating!
Loved the tip about the inventory :)
@greg8937 👍😀
I got extremely lucky and got a dreadnaught on my first jump to a pirate system. Even luckier, the Dreadnought was an S-Class!!! Now I have a broken Dreadnaught and not sure how to fix it :)
if you are just determined to get a dreadnaught, you can easily just take the first freighter you get the option to, then start jumping into pirate controlled systems and take whatever grade dreadnaught you feel like taking because you still get the dreadnaughts free if you fight another one. (or at least i have, multiple times... but the game is glitchy)
i can also say you certainly don't need to do any amount of jumps once you have your freighter, or after.. MAYBE before you get the first one.
during my first run on the expedition, i took a class B freighter with a lot of cargo space (was the 3rd one i fought) about 3 systems later, fought a dreadnaught, that was also class B and i believe the same cargo slots of 32 or 33.... left the system, did a mission or two in that system, then jumped back to the pirate one for some reason and had another dreadnaught fight, class A with 33 cargo, so i took it.
i actually had 3 different freighter / dreadnaughts in under an hour... with just a couple warp jumps. of course i'm sure that's not at all normal.
I forgot to say it's best to land at all the pirate-controlled stations you come across as there are usually others close by so you can warp to one(must be from a land base) get in your ship and warp to the close ones.
The Dreadnoughts are cool and all, but tbh I don't know if I'll bother. I happened upon a Resurgent-Class Venator A-Class (aka the hugest one) on my third or fourth freighter battle. As I had rejected all the previous/taken payment, I got this one as my freebie. I love it soooo much I'm torn as to whether I would even take an S-class Dreadnought if I came up against one, lol maybe we'll never know :)
@leftcoastfunk if you have a freighter you love and it does the job for you, no need to change it. I know the freighter you mean, I really like those types! Decent!
I like the Venators too, but I'm stuck with my sweet Sentinel one. The bigger the cooler :P but yeah they are all nice in their particular ways, even the smaller ones like the Enterprise one are nice to have on alternate saves.
wish ya could import at least freighters in case one gets a better class/ or elusive type then one has if they imported their save
I found maybe 10-15 C-Class Dreadnoughts before I landed an S-Class, and I am glad I grinded it out. Now I don't have to ever do that again, thought the space battle is kinda fun.
@Jason_P Glad you managed to get one! It can definitely be a grind!
I just give up on them and pop them given I can’t get them better my original hunt.
Yes, I did got myself an s class pirate dreadnought to verify it’s pretty much a glorified regular freighter. I keep it as a separate offline backup.
They do pop up more frequently in outlaw systems(and no it might not follow the respawn rate rule, I had noted about 3 times these battle are hard seeded in some of these pirate systems resulting in 2 battles in quick succession of warp jumps), occasionally on T3 conflicts systems as well. With or without settlement.
Statistically it’s higher chance on spawning a S class compared to those s class capital freighters.
Worth noting, if you are inclined pirate frigates are rather combat capable.
Is jumping all over using fuel really better than reloading?
If you're prepared enough and have S-Class upgrades you won't need to refuel the hyperdrive very often and will be able jump large distances, can't remember the last time I refueled mine. But it is a game, so can be played any which way.
You settle for a A class when the title says S class, just seems to me like you gave up on your own video.
He said how to ge not how i get. 😊
You are sort of right but if you get an A class you are just as good to go with it as with the S class. It is not worth all that effort for an S class unless you get it right away. The stats are not that much better anyway.
Lol, in about 10 battles, I got 2 S-class dreadnaughts, and I turned them both down. I have a maxed out B-class capital ship with all slots and S-class tech, and it does the job. Didn’t want to chance losing progress, and honestly, not really keen on the look of the dreadnaught.
@marsrii4372 understandable. If you have all the upgrades etc, might as well keep it
I got my Class A pirate freighter yesterday.
👍😀
I've been playing NMS on and off for years and only saw one of these freighters recently. Sadly, I didn't know you had to take out the engines and it ran away :(
Frustrating. You'll get the next one
I’m more curious on where you got that nice-looking, long-winged Sentínel ship that you’re using instead of the Dreadnought.
@rokuken I wish I could give you coordinates or portal glyps to find this ship. Episode No7 of The Fugitive might help you find one of these, but I can't be sure. It's quite a long episode.
@@CasterPenn Ah! No worries. There are a few videos I found that shows how to get it. Found an A-Class fully black one and an S-Class black and sky blue one. They are extremely beautiful! Also, thank you for this as this will be my next mission today at noon. Keep this videos up mate! 👍🏻
@rokuken 👍🙂. Will do! And let me know how you get on.
I also read somewhere (IDK how true it is) that you have to be in game for at least 3 hours prior to getting a dreadnaught freighter to spawn....
@kch7964 I haven't heard this, but could well be true. I think the three hours might be within the main story line etc
i will confirm that is NOT true.. but i did see multiple youtubers say it is either true or it at least helps..
also the number of jumps is wrong too, i've had 2 dreadnaught battles within minutes, and i very rarely play 3 full hours without taking a break.
@briwanderz thanks for this 👍
@@CasterPenn yea i wonder if it was meant to be 3 hours total....aka some sort of internal game timer to allow for 3 hours of gameplay (the first 3 hours) without encountering the "hard" pirate style missions.... it's not that hard but whatever...
I have a system where a pirate dreadnoght spawns every time u jump to it, you can defeat and either claim money or the ship itself, try few times and u get s class. Took me 5 tries and the times I didn’t claim it I made bank.
Also i had a A class frighter but on mu way to tue galactic core for the storyline i got a c class pirate drighter i had to replace it with tye A it looked really cool😂
It took me 30+ tries to find one.
😳....at least you got one eventually
Do you have a video or glyph and cords for that ship ? It’s beautiful
@eza5458 I wish I could give you coordinates or portal glyps to find this ship. Episode No7 of The Fugitive might help you find one of these, but I can't be sure. It's quite a long episode.
It’s finally here, that restore point I’ve been on has not been helping much 😹
One thing I forgot to mention, the freighter battles usually trigger on your fifth warp per play. That’s what I noticed so I usually find a target pirate system, warp around it and warp to it on my fifth warp
👍
That's a good idea!
@@CasterPenn Thanks for the settlement tip though, I didn’t know about that one. I was avoiding it because the corrupted sentinels are too annoying to deal with with my current multi tool load out but it seems I’ll have to find a way.
@@ricsydawn9616 I don't think It's down to the number of warps, but more just the time you've been playing the game. If you've played the game for 30 minutes or so and then Jump to a pirate-controlled System the chances are you'll find one. they're pretty common but will stop spawning, so go play some missions or just do other things for a bit and repeat the process. PS. You will need to warp into the pirate-controlled System.
I used the reload method, but thankfully had to reload just once :D so it's fine ^^
@duramirez that's a result!
@@CasterPenn for sure :D
Great video Brother
@michaeljohnson4115 thanks 😀
The firsst time I came across a Dreadnought, it was a C class. I was quite magnanimous. I took the money and promptly destroyed the freighter as soon as I got back in my starship. By the way, the first Freighter I saved, it was an S class. You can bet I grabbed it immediately since it was free.
@NicoISD an S-Class for your first freighter is amazing.
Is there anything special about the pirate freighter other than just the cosmetics?
@DocSardo not really, they are bigger in general size but they basically offer the same as a normal Freighter
@@CasterPenn OK that's what I thought. I just wanted to be sure that there was no difference in base building capacity or other functionality. The A-class freighter that I got for free seems to be just fine for my purposes, even though it looks like a giant flying VHS tape. However, I am considering starting a new save as a pirate so a pirate freighter would make sense in that case from an RP perspective.
There is one difference that led to me picking one up when they added these. A nice clean area outside the hanger bay with nothing to doink into as you're trying to leave. The other capital ships have clutter on the deck. More of an annoyance than anything critical though.
@@RandomNameMy Good point. Those spires in front of my hangar bay are pretty annoying, but not anything I can't live with.
Just drive back out the freighter warp to another planet then go back to the same location it will respawn and change everytime then i got an s class in 5 attempts
warp? you mean land on a planet in the same system, or warp to another system and come back?
@@Perisemioticswarp and come back. as long as you don’t claim the freighter or demand tribute there will always be a dreadnaught fight in that system and the stats are randomized each time. This guy was extremely lucky though, I’ve been at it for hours across multiple days and the best I’ve found was A class. This doesn’t change the odds it just reduces time and fuel spent warping to different systems looking for the spawn in the first place.
Yo how can we get your starship ??? What are tye coordinates do you have spreadsheet for tye location or something i really want that sentinel starship
Do you not have to wait 3 hours to find another one? Or is it just chance
I think it is a certain amount of time, but also five or so jumps, but I've had it vary a little.
50 jumps
7 Dreadnough
6 C class and 1 B Class
Unlucky 😓
@laurechancel85 that is really unlucky!
There appear every 3 hours and 6 warps
I see there are a lot of new people making videos and know nothing of the game.
Did you know that there’s a certain amount of time you need to spend in game and then make certain amount of jumps before a battle could even start? And also the best chance of finding an S class is with T3 economy with T3 conflict system. So you’ll have to spend hours before you can find a suitable system and will be lucky if you made a save before jumping to a T3 system with T3 conflict that even has a dreadnought. Chances of finding a dreadnought in pirate system is good but an S class is as much hard as normal T3 system.
I do, yes.
@@CasterPenn If you knew then it would have been better to start with that information because if there’s a new player (and I’m sure 90% of players viewing this video will be) he doesn’t even know how to initiate the battle in the first place.
hey, im new to the nms and after 60+hours gameplay I got a x-wing I think its called fire-y class B? my question is , is there any S class x-wing? Thank you in advance
There will be an S-Class ship of that type, somewhere, but It would be one hell of a search. Or, you can scrap starships for parts, buy an S-Class Core, and build your own S-Class ship.
@@CasterPenn cmiiw but is there x-wing template? I only 5 types of ship
Whoop whoop!
😀
@CasterPenn you're such a small channel but you definitely have the voice to get a larger audience. 👍 I hope it grows, mate.
Thanks, that's appreciated. Me too!
After 50 i got a B lol i mean whatever im happy to look at it but damn
Wow! 50! Nuts you didn't get a S Class
How can we tell what class it is he never told use how tho
Fastest way is to land your ship and just scan the floor, it will tell you the class
What I learned from others is you a freighter battle happens after 3 hours in game and on your 5th warp. Normal system is a normal freighter battle. If you warp to a pirate system it will be a pirate battle. Also you have to have do at least one normal freighter battle and took or have a freighter. So without reloading you get 1 chance every 3 hours max if you do 4 warps and warp to a Pirate system on the 5th. I've reloaded went to different systems about 11 times and nothing and just different versions of C class.
After about 10 more times I got my S class!
So disappointing, got one of these seen all the deck guns, not long after i got mine a small pirate force attacked my freighter here i was half expecting to see a great battle... but was disapointed when the deck guns dont even fire at the small crafts... if im in the same system as my freighter when hunting pirates one of my combat frigets usually jumps into the battle bu again no guns fireing not even for dramatic effect think all it does is add a extra squad mate on my team for the fight not that they are useful ither... there guns cant even keep the sheilds down on a pirate fighter
@capt-hail8295 I thought the same. Hopefully HelloGames will change this. I'd like the pirate freighter to be at least as good as when the player fights it, and the guns destroy the merchant freighters. Actually like a pirate!
i play 4 hour and jump 100 time and nothing.
Have you done the initial freighter battle? (Not a dreadnought).
@@CasterPenn which missions they are?
@vasslajos9714 sorry, it's not a mission, it's the first freighter battle where you save it from pirate ships. It happens when you warp into a system.
@@CasterPenn no i don't remember it. but even if there was, he wouldn't throw in a pirate battleship.
Please can I subscribe to your channel?
Well, sorry, I did.
