I always watch these types of videos and generally already know all the things, but I was unaware of most of these, so thanks! One thing to add: to avoid a scan if you jump in and forgot you had contraband, spooling your drive and panic power managing takes too long. Open your map, which pauses the game, then select another planet in the system. Inspection points are only over the main cities and points where you jump in system. If you fast travel to another planet in the system, it will go to a cutscene immediately after hitting travel and cancel the inspection. No grav jump needed. Helps if you're stingy like me and only roll around with 1 power for your grav drive lol I have to power my 8 weapon hard points ya know?
I kinda wish for the possibility to return contraband loot to a faction without being arrested For example: you're a ranger for free star and when being caught by planet scanners, it would be cool to add a dialogue like "found contraband on patrol, I'm sending you the package" And you get a smaller reward for giving it
I was thinking the same thing. I'm playing a good guy so I haven't boarded too many ships but last night I figured out how to and found a stolen painting. Being good and all I didn't want to just sell it outright as contraband but to return it
@@shanerj4410 I’m a bad guy and I just sold 20 cases of Harvested Organs lmao. Working on getting an Aurora Lab going but still can’t make the right oil for it.
Anybody else find it odd that they scan your ship for contraband but they don’t scan the registration to see if you just slaughtered an entire crew and stole the ship 😂😂 hopefully they add a fence to sell unregistered ships someday cuz that would be nice
I’m just amazed at how good the tech to preserve soft tissue is. I’ve had organs sitting around for weeks in game and they’re still good as new apparently
Im pretty sure they do.... i stole a ship and checked it for contraband. It was an Ecliptic stiletto and got flagged for contraband because it wasnt registered.
For access to ship storage, you don't need to go to the cockpit or access that cargo computer just to put stuff in or take it out. Anywhere on this ship, you can access your own inventory, then there is a button depending on platform you're playing on to access ship cargo at the bottom of the screen. Simply press that button to access the ships cargo. Switching back to player inventory and clicking on things stores whatever it is into the cargo hold.
@@Dsrgreyy For real, it's from the first things I noticed, I don't understand how a lot of people are freaking out when they learn this information do they just not read the menus do they not check everything out or pay attention.
On PC hit H key then F key to open Ships Cargo. Works anytime you're NEAR your ship (150 meters?). DON'T forget to loot the loose stuff (on tables, bunks etc) on the ship BEFORE you SELL it as that stuff does NOT transfer! Also DON'T forget the Captains Locker - it does NOT link to the Cargo area and does NOT transfer to another ship. Cargo Locker transfers but might grab it while you're there just in case. BTW - Entering Build Mode and scrapping all the parts yields the SAME money as selling. 😉 Don't loot before registering or it's all flagged as STOLEN!
A tip I just figured out last night that I haven’t heard anyone talk about: if your ship is full and you want to offload everything go into Jemisens space area and then get up out of the cockpit, grab everything you can even if you are massively over encumbered, then open up the planet map and select the lodge. It will ignore your encumbrance and let you spawn in front of the lodge like normal, at which point you only have a short distance to the infinite storage chest in your room at the lodge. Super helpful if you haven’t upgraded your cargo capacity much
There are also storage options down in the crafting area, since there are more of them it can help organise things and reduce lag if you spread stuff out. It's unclear if they reset but I don't recall seeing any posts about them doing so without some serious cell reset bugs.
Thanks! My cargo hold is full and have been wondering what the easiest way to offload would be. Main character storage areas and cargo holds seem to be the only bug-free long-term storage options at the moment.
I've used that chest before and didn't realize it's infinite. Good to know for late game. My current ship has 870 capacity. Also your companions can hold around 140 kg as well (definitely use them in missions for added capacity if you don't have full weightlifting).
For contraband, instead of jumping to another system you can just land on a random spot on a planet. It's instant. Then drop the contraband on the ground, take off, let them scan you, then land in the same spot and pick your items back up. They won't scan you again until you jump to another star system. Easy for selling or holding on to contraband anywhere.
@@MetalGamer666 Maybe in some places idk honestly. I've been selling mine on Mars and I'm unable to land at the city landing pad until they scan my ship. The option is grayed out.
@@MetalGamer666No. Having contraband blocks all landing points on planet, requiring to jump in and get scanned. BUT it's a Bethesda game, and so there is a workaround - you can put contraband into Captain's locker jump in and instantly land somewhere on a planet (Does not work with Volii, Neon is the only landing point). After you landed somewhere, you can fast travel to port, lol.
For the ship selling, once you have sat in the "liberated" ship captains seat, stand up, then on PC hit H to view your ships, as long as the new ship is on that list, you can just fly your ship to a space port to register and sell the new ship, you don't have to fly the new ship down to the surface.
@@xevro5862 I don’t have any commerce perks and I always get at least and additional 2 to 3 k more then I registered it for at the ship guy, haven’t tried the register it from the ship menu yet to see what that does
Once you join the crimson fleet, the key in the krix system is a way better place to sell contraband. There’s 3 vendors right next to each other and ship services right beside them.
Not even, there's 5 vendors in The Key. The Weapon Vendor, Resources Vendor, Armor Vendor, Unique/Specialty Vendor, and a Trade Authority vendor as well as the Ship Services. The Key is my 1-stop shop for everything and anything.
@@LtBuzzLitebeer yeah but why side with sysdef? They blackmail you into doing it their dirty work and you barely get anything for it. Even the Kryx's legacy reward is the same either way. Crimson Fleet is where it's at cuz of all the vendors, and the ability to sell contraband. Yarr harr fiddle de dee, it's a pirates life for me!
Tip: If you are struggling in the beginning with too much loot like resources etc, you can go to the Lodge. Go to the right down to the basement to a room with many crafting stations. On the table there is a chest with UNLIMITED storage capacity. I dump all my crafting stuff there.
Haha, good to know! Wow,I’m around 6 days of playing time in and didn’t even know that was another bottomless storage that was safe to store stuff in .🫣🤣 I’ve just been storing all valuables in the safe, in the room that u own (@ the lodge) the whole time. So whenever I wanna craft or do some research, I’ve gathered up all my resources from the room into my inventory, lugged all 10tons of it down to the basement, then when I was finished crafting/researching, lugged it back up the stairs to the room & put it all back into the safe again. So thank u for the heads up!🙏🏼 That’s def gonna save me some time and a big ol repetition headache going forward!😁
Not a secret feature but definitely not told really well. Cargo Link for outposts is amazing. There are two versions, one in galaxy and the other intergalactic. Intergalactic needs helium to run. But what they do is the convoy’s job from Fallout 4. They link your outposts together. In the first system I have one cargo link on a planet with aluminum and another with iron and I have them send the stuff to a planet with nickel and cobalt. This allows me to make as much storage and adaptive frames I want as well make iso magnets to make money and exp all I want. Especially when you get the large storage from the outpost engineering skill and manufacturing research. Also add the cargo transport to your outpost and link it as an output. This means you don’t have to put everything into your ship or grab things from storage. It goes to the cargo transport, that doesn’t put it in your ship, but let’s you access resources as if it was in your ship.
If u want hijack enemy ship on planet surface don't kill those guys outside because if U do this, ship will leave. Just rush on board, kill bad guys inside and takeover ship.
If you come across a landed ship you can clean it out and keep exploring the planet. There must be an autopilot enabled because occasionally the ship will take off and will be waiting for you to acquire in orbit.
As an additional tip regarding ships, you can just register them when you're out and about. Still costs money, but you don't have to fly it to a port just to register it with the port authority. After you commandeer a ship, go to your Tab menu and click the ship menu. There is an option to register the ship from there. I paid 10k, for a 97k ship. Which is not this insane 80% fee I keep hearing about. This may be dependent on the ship and it's overall value, but try it and see if it's cheaper. The ship I just did this with was an Ecliptic Stiletto.
it's ~80% of the sell price, not the 97k buy price. I think that ship sells for like 14-15k. You can upgrade the skill under the social tree that increases credits from sold items and decreases bought items, which includes registration I believe.
@@kk4pe Good point. While bartering feels low priority for me early on (rather focus on sci and tech) it seems like it could make a big difference in your credit margins for class C ships later.
I think its crazy how I got hailed yesterday and hear " we have been trying to get a hold about renewing your ships warranty" " If you blow up our ship it will automatically cancel your warranty".....Not joking....they found me in the middle of space in a video game
Was worried this was going to be the same 10 basic tips everyone has been regurgitating but buzz impresses me once again with some helpful small details i didnt know. Thanks.
PSA: Its currently not worth selling ships. Not because of the low value but because it moves everything on that ship into your cargo hold. And that includes placement items. So you now have a chore of getting rid of 87 snack cakes, forks, dishes etc
That's true, I noticed after selling my third stolen ship that the cargo on my home ship read 984/450 mass, and I couldn't collect resources from space battles. The good news is you can just go to a vendor, hit ship inventory, change selling filter to value, and then mindlessly sell everything from the bottom up
A couple of tips, you don’t need to favorite the Cutter, your character will automatically switch to it when you’re in scan mode and switch back to your previous weapon when you exit scan mode. When you fight pirates in space and kill them look for any other ships remaining in the area. If you find any hail them and they’ll probably thank you for dealing with the pirates and give you various reward options. Getting ship parts is one of those options and highly recommended but whatever you do don’t choose to “have salvage rights”. You can salvage the remains of the pirate ships either way so if you choose that option you’re losing the other rewards.
A little tip about your opening clip, if you hear a ship land near you, rush past any guards and go directly onboard to capture it. If it get into a firefight with the guards it will always take off. Another one you didn't mention is that if you open the spacesuit section of your inventory, you'll get the option to hide your suit when it's not needed. You're still wearing it and getting it's damage protection but it's hidden so you look like you're in your street clothing. And, if you want to travel long distances with your boost pack, look for a skip pack. Basic are low thrust short duration, boost are high thrust short duration, skip is low thrust long duration, and balanced it medium thrust medium duration. On a low gravity world, a skip pack will keep you in the air the longest. Other than that you had some really good tips.
This is great information, thank you! I was able to commandeer one ship, but at another, I got into a firefight with eclectic that were in close proximity to the ship and it would take off. The first ship I was able to snag I had fought the eclectic at a base and far from the ship, so maybe the onboard crew couldn't "see" that their crewmembers were toast.
Another tip that was missed here is to hold Control and click on ship parts. This allows you to select a number of parts that you may wish to paint all at once for a two tone look. It also allows you to move parts. Say you've got a weapons pylon that you want moved, you can hold control, select all of the parts as well as the pylon, and everything highlighted in red will move as a single unit so you don't have to move a bunch of parts one by one.
Another tip if you do have contraband and jump in to a united colonies system let them scan you it starts a whole quest chain, also if you rank up you're commerce skill you can take those commandeered ships and earn even more credits
One thing I really have not seen anyone mention… Everyone goes to that tiny panel in the ship cockpit to access ship cargo, but far better than that, just get close to your ship and hit “k” (on PC) to bring up your character menu… then mouse over South-West on the circle to “ship”, and from that menu, go to cargo… You don’t even have to be in the ship to do this- just close. Makes loading and unloading your sheep a breeze.
I can’t remember which mission it was, but on one of them there was ice blocking a doorway and I accidentally shot it and it started breaking! There’s so many little things you only find as you keep playing
I'm the tutorial, there's a hidden little room right under that naturally occuring "bridge" that leads to the artifact. You just gotta shoot the loose stone wall (when you know it's there it's easy to find) and there were some nice aid items for the start of the game.
Here's another tip. If you go to the Lodge and go downstairs, you'll find a MK1 constellation suit in a case. If you put your redical on the edge of the door you can get the armor without having the master lockpick skill. And it's pretty cool too.
Okay, something I just found out that probably everyone already knows - I had no idea you could pick up items and move them without having to add them to your inventory. I haven't tried it out yet, but what I was told: hold down A on Xbox (as opposed to tapping I guess?) and it'll lift up and you can move it wherever. Right trigger and left trigger will rotate it, click the left stick to change the axis you're rotating. Hold down X to throw it - so you can totally hum an explosive canister into a crowded room and shoot it.
You can get to the ship cargo at anytime as long as you are on or near the ship. Simply go to the pause screen, bottom left corner (Ship) and once there press the key for cargo (you’ll see it on the bottom right)
Another solid tip before they patch it: In the basement of the lodge there is a really good Space suit called "Mark 1" inside a cabinet, which has a master lock. But, there is a tiny gap between the door and the rest of the cabinet, that allows you to snatch that complete space suit. If you wear this suit early in the game, you will be very powerful.
Another tip: When registering a ship, you can save a few more credits by not going to ship services to get it registered. Simply land on a settled system planet (Jamison, New Atlantis for example), go to ship menu and register it there, rather than going to the dude. I paid roughly 8400 to register a ship, but when going through ship services, it was over 10,000.
Did you test this with the same ship? Because different ships have different registration costs even if they’re the same type of ship if you stole it because they might have different weapons, reactor, etc
took me a minute but finally got all my resources from one system ending up on an HE-3 Low grav moon where i just have shitload of storage and off planet transferring capabilities. So if you are trying to get all resources to one outpost this is how it's done: - start at resource gathering outpost and build 1 cargo link, have all resources flowing into outgoing for this cargo link - go to next resource outpost, build 2 cargo links - connect the first outpost to one cargo link, and link the incoming materials to outpost storage (should have mining and other stuff coming into this from this outpost as well, making 2 outposts resources here.) - Use the second cargo link as a send off and link your outpost storage to that one, rinse and repeat for all the resources you are gathering in that system - Build your final send off point somewhere in that system on a planet/moon that has HE-3 resource (as this is the fuel used to jump between stars) and build the cargo link meant for the out of system travel on top of HE-3 Drills, make sure the HE-3 is being input into the fuel station on the out-of-system cargo link None of this needs companions and you can do it all solo. good luck out there space cowboys
Another bonus tip for the scanner that took me WAY too long to figure out: when you see mining spots on the ground, you can scan those and it'll count towards finding that resource. You don't have to run all over the map looking for that one resource you are missing if you happen to find a spot to mine it out of the ground.
@@senerio2124 They are talking about when you see the that the large area of the ground is highlighted. You can scan that highlighted portion of the ground without needing to find the nodes.
Another tip - you can find hidden deep resource nodes without perk that allows to see rare resources on scanner. Just enter outpost placement mode, run around with outpost beacon as it shows in top left corner all the deep ores extractors can mine, including rare and exotic one.
The trick to the contraband is remembering that you even picked it up in the first place after looting the hell out of an area. Wish there was an indicator in the HUD or at least in the main inventory screen that shows the contraband symbol.
@garygroves7927 yeah I'm aware of that symbol, but you have to pause, open inventory, go to the misc category, and scroll through the list to see if you have any contraband. Just wish there was a symbol for contraband that wasn't buried so deep - I got busted once because I forgot I even picked it up, granted, this scenario started me on the crimson fleet quest which was cool. Just worried about the next time I forget haha.
Hey Buzz!!! Love the videos! Great tips in this one. The mining laser tip was great! I had no idea about the asteroids too! I’m hoping a mod or devs add the ability to create your own star station as well as touching down on big enough asteroids to mine them! Quick bug note, I’ve experienced two game breaking bugs at this point both before ever reaching level 20. The first is when I had to clear out pirates at a star station my FPS weapons and cutter wouldn’t fire no matter what. (My ship weapons fired fine after still) I had to clear the place with my knife and grenades! Thought it was temp for that mission but I ended up loading previous save and found out it affected all my save files! Had to start all over after I tried everything to fix it! The next was a ship clipped through my ship when in combat and would be stuck there also affected all my save files. Anyone else experience any game breaking bugs? Any tips? I’ve yet to reach level 20 and am on my third play through. I play on pc.
The only thing I can recommend you try is to create an exit save. Shut down the game completely, even boot up something else. Hopefully the loading from the exit save will work. I've had this happen twice so far and even occasionally in Fallout 4.
@@n.s.3007 HOWd you find that out!? Lol thank you so much of the bug happens again I’ll give it a try!! If the ship thing happens I’ll have to research it cuz I had a ship stuck to my ship no matter what I did lol
Love the vids! Some random tip I found that if you need to get through a security door and you are out of digpicks just use the cutter mining gun on the door to open it.
With regards to transferring inventory from personal to ship, you can do it from anywhere on your ship without having to access the ship inventory panel in the cockpit. Anywhere onboard just open your inventory, hit whatever you use to cycle between inventories, like swapping between buying and selling from a vendor, Q by default on PC, and it will jump to ship inventory. Hit it again, and you're back to yours, but can now send to the ship.
Yeah just like with contraband, i keep everything high value for late game, so i can sell at max profit. EDIT: I'm not joining crimson until I'm done with the UC and Ranger main quests, i don't want conflicts 😆
The uc vanguard is lit as fuck. One of the best moments. Space horror almost. At it was tough to beat on very hard, lvl 38. Definetelly reccomend this later in the game.
Here's info I wish I had know before losing a part I wanted to use... you cannot remove weapon / armor / suit mods like in FO4. when you remove a mod (which costs resources /sigh) it is destroyed. you can NOT use it to modify another weapon. i hope the creation kit gets here soon... there are a few small QoL things that need doing.
Bethesda fans ''I want a Bethesda game with less hand holding and harder overall'' Also Same Bethesda fans ''Starfield maps are awful, Starfield doesn't tell you clearly enough where to go and what to do''. Yup, this is gamer's in 2023 ladies and genitals Games are 100hrs long, gamer's say ''games don't need to be that big'' Games are made smaller and less hours, gamer's say ''Oh my God, Devs release small games and want AAA prices'' Games release with insane graphics and lesser game play, gamer's say ''When will Devs realise, graphics aren't important, game play is'' Games release with amazing game play and lesser graphics, gamer's say ''The games good, but it looks last gen'' Gamer's these days, are the biggest whiny bunch of b#####s around.
Speaking of contraband. What I've done so far is to just go to the red mile, and i just dump all my contraband on the ground there, i can come back for it later when i have everything in order and also when i get more money for what i sell. I have contraband for several millions on that landing pad, and it has stayed there for 20+ hours of game play.
Two things im obsessed with right now, skill comics are back im hunting them down, the first is on the railing of the artifact podium in the lodge, and 100% surveying a planet nets you huge exp EVEN if its a moon with 3 resources and nothing else, early game you can be sure of a lvl up every time.
Definitely love the game. However i think it's unfair how the price of starfield in morocco is 50% cheaper than for the rest of the world. most of us playing are students so we can't afford it
This is so silly. There are many countries that pay less for games. The reason is because their economies suck. To put it in perspective $60 amount for one new game in my country is equal to half a month's groceries, 2-3 months of electricity/power, or 20x big mac meals. So the price of games is scaled to the economy of different countries, usually. Unless you're like mine, which somehow doesn't have a scaled digital store making gaming a weird luxury instead of something for everyone. It's not unfair, it's balanced, I'm glad other countries are being treated better by digital stores.
I really love this game and it makes me exceedingly sad that it's not an Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam because I think this is probably one of the best Bethesda games they have released since Fallout:NV, or maybe Skyrim.
Obsidian, the team working on Avowed and the (soonish to be) two Outer Worlds games made Fallout:New Vegas, NOT Bethesda. They also (still) have original team members worked on Fallout 1 and 2 as Black Isle (Obsidian being a black rock is a shout out) and InXile (Wasteland 2, 3, Bard's Tale 4 etc) have some more of the original team. Just wanted the OG devs to get proper credit.
Everything aspect of the game tjay involves space sucks. The the cutscenes and loading screens totally take you out the immersion. It's a good game it's just not a great game
It's a good game. I'm glad you enjoy it. As a big Space Engineers fan, I was hoping for a more enjoyable building and flying experience. I think we all fell for the marketing. It has a really cool storyline and I enjoy other areas of the game, but I cant help but feel a bit let down
@@3345karlyeah but if they have the planets close enough to travel between that would kinda break immersion too. Like NMS the planets are so close and it’s still kinda annoying to get to other planets. Space is empty af it would be kinda boring. Nobody wants to sit in a ship for literally hours to get to a neighbor planet, it’s kinda necessary to speed it up with cutscenes. Wish they used cutscenes instead of loading screens tho.
If you sell your stolen goods and buy them back without exiting the vendor window, it will remove the stolen status and you can use them without fear of confiscation.
A pro tip I discovered last night, you don’t need to go to your ship to travel to another planet. Just open your menu go to stat map and select a route from there. Won’t work if incumbered
Glad you had your rest (you deserve it) and are back with foooorceeeee for starfield. Enjoying the game so much, your videos help me enjoy it more by showing the various layers it has. Can't wait til you cover the airship details.
Love your videos LtBuzz. For contraband, at least this has worked for me, if you fast travel to the Lodge instead of New Atlantis then you can keep your contraband. This is good because you can't sell stolen items until you talk to the Crimson Fleet.
What? Pretty sure The Den is available always. It's in Wolf, right next to Sol and Alpha Centauri. Also, I'm not able to fast travel to anywhere in New Atlantis. Maybe it allowed you to because you had a main mission quest there? Usually New Atlantis, or any major port on the surface, is greyed out until you pass inspection. Also, won't the Trade Commission or whatever they're called buy literally anything? You just have to go to one of their buildings.
@@The_Diginautthere's a difference between contraband and stolen items. Contraband, marked with yellow icons can be sold at any trade authority. I haven't done the crimson fleet quests but the vendor at the den and the trade authority will not buy items with the red marker which indicates that you stole them. You are correct re fast travel, you shouldn't be able to do it until you've been scanned in that system, if you can it's probably a bug.
@@SineN0mine3That's just blatantly false you can use the Trade Autority to sell stolen shit, at least in The Well you can. I cleared the dude Antonio's shop and walked right over to the Trade Autority down there and sold everything no problems
Something to note about disabling ships. I always “quicksave” once the weed ships are gone and I am left with my target. When you have them locked you STILL have to slightly move the reticle over to the picture of the engines once targeted. Your best shots are going to be from a fast and agile small craft from behind your target.
Good tips and tricks in this video, thanks! - I've found a magazine that supposedly buffs all ship missile damage by 5% I think that was in the UC Vanguard first mission. I've also found a book that specifically mentions the second level of a skill I don't yet have (sounds like it may grant me that level if I already have the skill unlocked). Explore mission areas as thoroughly as you can! - Scanning a planet while in orbit will create a scan report in your inventory. If you're strapped for cash it looks like you can sell the info. I've not sold any, but it does have a value listed. Not sure if the scanning done while on the planet contributes to the value of the scan report, I just noticed these recently and haven't explored the implications of them yet.
I found the best way to get lots of ship parts was to randomly jump between planets and moons in a low level sector in UC or Freestar space. If you help them in any ship battles they will offer you a reward, and one of the options is ship parts. I never have to buy any and I never run out.
Space combat question: I play on Hard, which is pretty easy when it comes to ground combat. Not so when it comes to space combat! I've played a lot of the X-Wing/Tie-Fighter games, and there you could maneuver a lot to avoid enemy lasers hitting you. In Starfield, I can't avoid lasers at all. The only way to stop getting hit, is to be behind an enemy ship. And when there are more than one enemy ship, you can't be behind both of them. So my plan to make a nimble ship with a lot of fire power, but not a lot of Shield, only works against single ships. Is the only way to deal with multiple ships to have powerful shields and a lot of ship parts for repairs, then?
I think shields are fairly necessary, but you can definitely get away with making small ships to maximise your mobility, if you toggle between boosters and thrusters you can successfully dodge most enemy fire if your manoeuvering thrust is high enough. Almost all of your Hull Points (HP) come from your reactor and jumped drive so make sure you get the strongest ones you can to absorb any hits you do take and carry extra ship parts. You can also hire crew to buff certain stats on your ship, I'm not sure what the best skills would be to compliment your build but maybe having some weapons specialists so you're spending less time taking hits.
4/4 Engine skill breaks enemy targeting while boosting. 4/4 Shields skill has a chance for shields to ignore damage. Otherwise, yeah, you need balanced weapons/shield/maneuverability until you can unlock/afford to drop 8 turrets on your ship and just sit back and relax while they wreck ships from afar.
Yeah, I upgraded my shield, and now I can take on 3 ships without much trouble. I think avoiding enemy fire is very difficult, so you have to just tank it.
Anyone else watching this without even owning Starfield, hoping to snag an Xbox Series X with a Black Friday deal and play then? Man, I'm waiting to be able to play this game.
This game has so many little features it never explains. Like, idk why it took me a solid 100 hours before i FINALLY noticed the "hide spacesuit while in breathable area" toggle. Cause like, i knew the main buttons to use inventory so i never bothered to look down there XD Also the registration fees are a bit overkill, so i got a mod to reduce them lol
Perhaps in the future this comment will be moot if they update stuff from starfield's Bethesda, but I find it weird that in the ships menu I could register the ship for less than if I were to land it and go to the ship modifier person.
I don't know if this is a feature, but I noticed, when I don't build the shield on the upper top of the ship, the enemy has a harder time to hit the shield. For example, build a design component in front of the shield and a pod entrance behind the shield. So it's covered by the 2 components and is a bit more safe from incoming hits.
You could let players find these themselves, youtube and tiktok of full of people telling us what to do and where to go, games just come out, let them find it for themselves!!!
The new thing is to register the ship via the menu instead of with the ship tech. The menu doenst take into account your commerce skill while using the ship tech does.
For those on console click a part and press LB to select all. I think it tells you at the bottom but I know sometimes it just flies over a lot of our heads😂
cant wait to get into that ship simulator and start working on my piloting skills. Thanks for that tip, i would have never found that. Also for quick scanning, if a resource is present in the soil it can be scanned. Took me a while to figure that one out. lol.
For the contraband bit, you have plenty of time to grav jump. First theyll give the scan spiel and then do a scan and theyll either detect the contraband or not. If they do, they will ask to board but give a warning that if you reject you will suffer the consequences. It then proceeds to give you a choice of accept or reject. During that entire time of the speech, the scan and the second speech asking to board, you have time to pull up your star map and grav jump to another system.
Who knew Asteroid Farming was a thing?! How are your finding Starfield?

I always watch these types of videos and generally already know all the things, but I was unaware of most of these, so thanks!
One thing to add: to avoid a scan if you jump in and forgot you had contraband, spooling your drive and panic power managing takes too long. Open your map, which pauses the game, then select another planet in the system. Inspection points are only over the main cities and points where you jump in system. If you fast travel to another planet in the system, it will go to a cutscene immediately after hitting travel and cancel the inspection. No grav jump needed.
Helps if you're stingy like me and only roll around with 1 power for your grav drive lol I have to power my 8 weapon hard points ya know?
first of your vids I've seen I like your style , earned my sub
@@MYshamanEYE ❤️

@@The_Diginautsuper helpful thanks!
I kinda wish for the possibility to return contraband loot to a faction without being arrested
For example: you're a ranger for free star and when being caught by planet scanners, it would be cool to add a dialogue like "found contraband on patrol, I'm sending you the package"
And you get a smaller reward for giving it
I was thinking the same thing. I'm playing a good guy so I haven't boarded too many ships but last night I figured out how to and found a stolen painting. Being good and all I didn't want to just sell it outright as contraband but to return it
Great idea, mods will allow this
ahah for my first play through I’m playing as the worst criminal ever. If I can take it and kill you I do.
@@shanerj4410 I’m a bad guy and I just sold 20 cases of Harvested Organs lmao. Working on getting an Aurora Lab going but still can’t make the right oil for it.
@@shanerj4410you’re a good guy
Anybody else find it odd that they scan your ship for contraband but they don’t scan the registration to see if you just slaughtered an entire crew and stole the ship 😂😂 hopefully they add a fence to sell unregistered ships someday cuz that would be nice
I’m just amazed at how good the tech to preserve soft tissue is. I’ve had organs sitting around for weeks in game and they’re still good as new apparently
That’s one hell of a block of dry ice
That's why it costs so much. Just like the real world governments. Pay them enough, and they'll push it threw.
Im pretty sure they do.... i stole a ship and checked it for contraband. It was an Ecliptic stiletto and got flagged for contraband because it wasnt registered.
@@NibNa5ty I’ll have to steal some more ships and see what happens then
For access to ship storage, you don't need to go to the cockpit or access that cargo computer just to put stuff in or take it out. Anywhere on this ship, you can access your own inventory, then there is a button depending on platform you're playing on to access ship cargo at the bottom of the screen. Simply press that button to access the ships cargo. Switching back to player inventory and clicking on things stores whatever it is into the cargo hold.
omgggggg
That’s the only way I do it lol. I didn’t know there was a computer for cargo hold until I started taking ships
@@Dsrgreyy
For real, it's from the first things I noticed, I don't understand how a lot of people are freaking out when they learn this information do they just not read the menus do they not check everything out or pay attention.
On PC hit H key then F key to open Ships Cargo. Works anytime you're NEAR your ship (150 meters?). DON'T forget to loot the loose stuff (on tables, bunks etc) on the ship BEFORE you SELL it as that stuff does NOT transfer! Also DON'T forget the Captains Locker - it does NOT link to the Cargo area and does NOT transfer to another ship. Cargo Locker transfers but might grab it while you're there just in case. BTW - Entering Build Mode and scrapping all the parts yields the SAME money as selling. 😉 Don't loot before registering or it's all flagged as STOLEN!
👍
A tip I just figured out last night that I haven’t heard anyone talk about: if your ship is full and you want to offload everything go into Jemisens space area and then get up out of the cockpit, grab everything you can even if you are massively over encumbered, then open up the planet map and select the lodge. It will ignore your encumbrance and let you spawn in front of the lodge like normal, at which point you only have a short distance to the infinite storage chest in your room at the lodge. Super helpful if you haven’t upgraded your cargo capacity much
There are also storage options down in the crafting area, since there are more of them it can help organise things and reduce lag if you spread stuff out. It's unclear if they reset but I don't recall seeing any posts about them doing so without some serious cell reset bugs.
Thanks! My cargo hold is full and have been wondering what the easiest way to offload would be. Main character storage areas and cargo holds seem to be the only bug-free long-term storage options at the moment.
The real issue is getting it back out but just remember, you can’t die with high CO2. Can grab it all and run back to the shop with a sliver of health
I've used that chest before and didn't realize it's infinite. Good to know for late game. My current ship has 870 capacity. Also your companions can hold around 140 kg as well (definitely use them in missions for added capacity if you don't have full weightlifting).
There's an infinite storage chest? :o
For contraband, instead of jumping to another system you can just land on a random spot on a planet. It's instant. Then drop the contraband on the ground, take off, let them scan you, then land in the same spot and pick your items back up. They won't scan you again until you jump to another star system. Easy for selling or holding on to contraband anywhere.
Can't you just fast travel to a planet directly and sell it?
@@MetalGamer666 Maybe in some places idk honestly. I've been selling mine on Mars and I'm unable to land at the city landing pad until they scan my ship. The option is grayed out.
@@nash2854 I have a bunch of contraband sitting on the ground in Paradiso, not knowing where to sell it.
@@nash2854quicker to fast travel to the Den in the Wolf system (or the Crimson Fleet once you join them) and just sell the contraband there.
@@MetalGamer666No. Having contraband blocks all landing points on planet, requiring to jump in and get scanned.
BUT it's a Bethesda game, and so there is a workaround - you can put contraband into Captain's locker jump in and instantly land somewhere on a planet (Does not work with Volii, Neon is the only landing point). After you landed somewhere, you can fast travel to port, lol.
For the ship selling, once you have sat in the "liberated" ship captains seat, stand up, then on PC hit H to view your ships, as long as the new ship is on that list, you can just fly your ship to a space port to register and sell the new ship, you don't have to fly the new ship down to the surface.
Dude. Thank you
You can register it yourself in space, no need to use the NPC and it costs less.
Is it even worth it? Cause registering my ship costs more than I can sell it.
(Without the perk)
@@xevro5862 I don’t have any commerce perks and I always get at least and additional 2 to 3 k more then I registered it for at the ship guy, haven’t tried the register it from the ship menu yet to see what that does
Once you join the crimson fleet, the key in the krix system is a way better place to sell contraband. There’s 3 vendors right next to each other and ship services right beside them.
Not even, there's 5 vendors in The Key. The Weapon Vendor, Resources Vendor, Armor Vendor, Unique/Specialty Vendor, and a Trade Authority vendor as well as the Ship Services.
The Key is my 1-stop shop for everything and anything.
@@Beefyrulz aye the Key is one of the best places for sure
Unless you took the side of UC Sysdef, in which case The Key is a floating graveyard...💀
The Key is also one of the few places you can buy Shielded Cargo for your ship so you can run contraband more easily.
@@LtBuzzLitebeer yeah but why side with sysdef? They blackmail you into doing it their dirty work and you barely get anything for it. Even the Kryx's legacy reward is the same either way. Crimson Fleet is where it's at cuz of all the vendors, and the ability to sell contraband. Yarr harr fiddle de dee, it's a pirates life for me!
Tip: If you are struggling in the beginning with too much loot like resources etc, you can go to the Lodge. Go to the right down to the basement to a room with many crafting stations. On the table there is a chest with UNLIMITED storage capacity. I dump all my crafting stuff there.
Haha, good to know! Wow,I’m around 6 days of playing time in and didn’t even know that was another bottomless storage that was safe to store stuff in .🫣🤣 I’ve just been storing all valuables in the safe, in the room that u own (@ the lodge) the whole time. So whenever I wanna craft or do some research, I’ve gathered up all my resources from the room into my inventory, lugged all 10tons of it down to the basement, then when I was finished crafting/researching, lugged it back up the stairs to the room & put it all back into the safe again. So thank u for the heads up!🙏🏼 That’s def gonna save me some time and a big ol repetition headache going forward!😁
There are these red doors where you have to cut the joints with your cutter to get access
Shooting it also works but yeah the cutter would be best that way you don’t waste ammo
I have used the cutter to cut through ice blocking a doorway too.
Not a secret feature but definitely not told really well. Cargo Link for outposts is amazing. There are two versions, one in galaxy and the other intergalactic. Intergalactic needs helium to run. But what they do is the convoy’s job from Fallout 4. They link your outposts together. In the first system I have one cargo link on a planet with aluminum and another with iron and I have them send the stuff to a planet with nickel and cobalt. This allows me to make as much storage and adaptive frames I want as well make iso magnets to make money and exp all I want. Especially when you get the large storage from the outpost engineering skill and manufacturing research.
Also add the cargo transport to your outpost and link it as an output. This means you don’t have to put everything into your ship or grab things from storage. It goes to the cargo transport, that doesn’t put it in your ship, but let’s you access resources as if it was in your ship.
Tf is cargo transport?
@@protonjones54 transfer container. It took me awhile to realize I was calling it the wrong thing.
If u want hijack enemy ship on planet surface don't kill those guys outside because if U do this, ship will leave. Just rush on board, kill bad guys inside and takeover ship.
Thanks, I’ve chased a bunch down but only a couple stuck around after killing ground troops
@@Dsrgreyy you're welcome 😁
If you come across a landed ship you can clean it out and keep exploring the planet. There must be an autopilot enabled because occasionally the ship will take off and will be waiting for you to acquire in orbit.
Brrrrruh, I guess that's why I keep seeing ship icons on the map. I clear them out, then they fly away. Really appreciate that.
@@Jomama7272literally been sitting here like wtf does SHIP mean 😭😭😂
been 2 days i’ve stolen 13 ships
What are you talking about?
As an additional tip regarding ships, you can just register them when you're out and about. Still costs money, but you don't have to fly it to a port just to register it with the port authority. After you commandeer a ship, go to your Tab menu and click the ship menu. There is an option to register the ship from there. I paid 10k, for a 97k ship. Which is not this insane 80% fee I keep hearing about. This may be dependent on the ship and it's overall value, but try it and see if it's cheaper. The ship I just did this with was an Ecliptic Stiletto.
it's ~80% of the sell price, not the 97k buy price. I think that ship sells for like 14-15k. You can upgrade the skill under the social tree that increases credits from sold items and decreases bought items, which includes registration I believe.
@@kk4pethanks, that makes a lot more sense. I was a little confused as well
@@kk4pe Good point. While bartering feels low priority for me early on (rather focus on sci and tech) it seems like it could make a big difference in your credit margins for class C ships later.
love your vids Lt :) just a note that people might not know is that you need the skill target lock to target engine that you don't mention
True.
77 hours into the game and this video is still a goldmine.
I think its crazy how I got hailed yesterday and hear " we have been trying to get a hold about renewing your ships warranty" " If you blow up our ship it will automatically cancel your warranty".....Not joking....they found me in the middle of space in a video game
I’ve put close to 100 hours in already but you blew my mind with that asteroid tip. I had no clue you could actually destroy them and mine them.
Have you never played No Man’s Sky?
The cutter tool is a great tip. Bizarre they just tell you nothing
Was worried this was going to be the same 10 basic tips everyone has been regurgitating but buzz impresses me once again with some helpful small details i didnt know. Thanks.
Really? Glad to hear it.
PSA: Its currently not worth selling ships. Not because of the low value but because it moves everything on that ship into your cargo hold. And that includes placement items. So you now have a chore of getting rid of 87 snack cakes, forks, dishes etc
That's true, I noticed after selling my third stolen ship that the cargo on my home ship read 984/450 mass, and I couldn't collect resources from space battles. The good news is you can just go to a vendor, hit ship inventory, change selling filter to value, and then mindlessly sell everything from the bottom up
A couple of tips, you don’t need to favorite the Cutter, your character will automatically switch to it when you’re in scan mode and switch back to your previous weapon when you exit scan mode.
When you fight pirates in space and kill them look for any other ships remaining in the area. If you find any hail them and they’ll probably thank you for dealing with the pirates and give you various reward options. Getting ship parts is one of those options and highly recommended but whatever you do don’t choose to “have salvage rights”. You can salvage the remains of the pirate ships either way so if you choose that option you’re losing the other rewards.
Gacticat Plushies are my obsession as well as every different style of coffee mug.
3 Galacticats so far and I've barely even started playing.
I've been picking up every single succulent I see so far. None of them count as stealing. I have hundreds on my space ship 😂
hehe yeah I just started collecting plushies and caps. Makes me wonder what others are collecting?
A little tip about your opening clip, if you hear a ship land near you, rush past any guards and go directly onboard to capture it. If it get into a firefight with the guards it will always take off.
Another one you didn't mention is that if you open the spacesuit section of your inventory, you'll get the option to hide your suit when it's not needed. You're still wearing it and getting it's damage protection but it's hidden so you look like you're in your street clothing.
And, if you want to travel long distances with your boost pack, look for a skip pack. Basic are low thrust short duration, boost are high thrust short duration, skip is low thrust long duration, and balanced it medium thrust medium duration. On a low gravity world, a skip pack will keep you in the air the longest.
Other than that you had some really good tips.
This is great information, thank you! I was able to commandeer one ship, but at another, I got into a firefight with eclectic that were in close proximity to the ship and it would take off. The first ship I was able to snag I had fought the eclectic at a base and far from the ship, so maybe the onboard crew couldn't "see" that their crewmembers were toast.
Another tip that was missed here is to hold Control and click on ship parts. This allows you to select a number of parts that you may wish to paint all at once for a two tone look. It also allows you to move parts. Say you've got a weapons pylon that you want moved, you can hold control, select all of the parts as well as the pylon, and everything highlighted in red will move as a single unit so you don't have to move a bunch of parts one by one.
Great tip, the ship builder is clunky and awkward anything that makes it easier is very welcome.
@SineN0mine3 - Very much so. His tip for putting your cursor on a green attach point and hitting G to add really made things a lot easier though.
and double click on any ship parts will highlight the WHOLE SHIP.. so you can press J and repaint the whole!
Another tip if you do have contraband and jump in to a united colonies system let them scan you it starts a whole quest chain, also if you rank up you're commerce skill you can take those commandeered ships and earn even more credits
Any crime in UC area will start that chain pickpocketing stealing from a locker killing someone etc
@@steveclarke5356I got it from being seen lockpicking the ATMs in New Atlantis in my 1st hour of the game 😂
wow, a "tips and tricks" video that actually includes helpful and easily missable mechanics. Good video!
One thing I really have not seen anyone mention…
Everyone goes to that tiny panel in the ship cockpit to access ship cargo, but far better than that, just get close to your ship and hit “k” (on PC) to bring up your character menu… then mouse over South-West on the circle to “ship”, and from that menu, go to cargo…
You don’t even have to be in the ship to do this- just close. Makes loading and unloading your sheep a breeze.
4:20 you can also just open up your inventory inside the ship anywhere and access the cargo hold directly
I can’t remember which mission it was, but on one of them there was ice blocking a doorway and I accidentally shot it and it started breaking! There’s so many little things you only find as you keep playing
Same lol I threw a grenade at a guy and got myself a new doorway
I've been to two cryo labs, and they had a the same layout so I was able to quickly identify the breakable walls.
In the mining tunnel on the starting planet there’s a similar structure under the bridge you cross for the first artifact
I'm the tutorial, there's a hidden little room right under that naturally occuring "bridge" that leads to the artifact. You just gotta shoot the loose stone wall (when you know it's there it's easy to find) and there were some nice aid items for the start of the game.
@@Dsrgreyylol you too huh?
Here's another tip. If you go to the Lodge and go downstairs, you'll find a MK1 constellation suit in a case. If you put your redical on the edge of the door you can get the armor without having the master lockpick skill. And it's pretty cool too.
Found this right when I joined Contellation and in 20 hours still havent found a better suit/helmet.
It is a decent space suit, especially for someone just starting off with their Starfield playthroughs.
@@Clapstainyup. I just replaced the jump back after 25 hours, but its still the best suit
@@ClapstainGet the Mantis suit. That one is better imo. Although I still think the constellation one looks better.
@@ClapstainFree ship with the Mantis mission too.
Okay, something I just found out that probably everyone already knows - I had no idea you could pick up items and move them without having to add them to your inventory. I haven't tried it out yet, but what I was told: hold down A on Xbox (as opposed to tapping I guess?) and it'll lift up and you can move it wherever. Right trigger and left trigger will rotate it, click the left stick to change the axis you're rotating. Hold down X to throw it - so you can totally hum an explosive canister into a crowded room and shoot it.
You can get to the ship cargo at anytime as long as you are on or near the ship. Simply go to the pause screen, bottom left corner (Ship) and once there press the key for cargo (you’ll see it on the bottom right)
Another solid tip before they patch it: In the basement of the lodge there is a really good Space suit called "Mark 1" inside a cabinet, which has a master lock. But, there is a tiny gap between the door and the rest of the cabinet, that allows you to snatch that complete space suit. If you wear this suit early in the game, you will be very powerful.
Thanks 4that will grab it ta
All of the armor cases seem to be like this.
Another tip: When registering a ship, you can save a few more credits by not going to ship services to get it registered.
Simply land on a settled system planet (Jamison, New Atlantis for example), go to ship menu and register it there, rather than going to the dude.
I paid roughly 8400 to register a ship, but when going through ship services, it was over 10,000.
Did you test this with the same ship? Because different ships have different registration costs even if they’re the same type of ship if you stole it because they might have different weapons, reactor, etc
@@Justusuave313 LtBuzz’s next video did confirm this is true. (You might’ve even seen it already. Just dropping it here for others to read.)
If you're having trouble snapping a part onto your ship, try raising and lowering it with R and F.
Great tips, love the content. Please do a video like this focusing on outposts, the links to ship and production stuff is a bit tricky.
You rock
❤️
took me a minute but finally got all my resources from one system ending up on an HE-3 Low grav moon where i just have shitload of storage and off planet transferring capabilities. So if you are trying to get all resources to one outpost this is how it's done:
- start at resource gathering outpost and build 1 cargo link, have all resources flowing into outgoing for this cargo link
- go to next resource outpost, build 2 cargo links
- connect the first outpost to one cargo link, and link the incoming materials to outpost storage (should have mining and other stuff coming into this from this outpost as well, making 2 outposts resources here.)
- Use the second cargo link as a send off and link your outpost storage to that one, rinse and repeat for all the resources you are gathering in that system
- Build your final send off point somewhere in that system on a planet/moon that has HE-3 resource (as this is the fuel used to jump between stars) and build the cargo link meant for the out of system travel on top of HE-3 Drills, make sure the HE-3 is being input into the fuel station on the out-of-system cargo link
None of this needs companions and you can do it all solo. good luck out there space cowboys
Playing on the PC and Xbox Series X and what a different play though. I can’t sleep because I am always thinking what I am going to do next.
Lol same here it's an unhealthy but welcomed obsession
Another bonus tip for the scanner that took me WAY too long to figure out: when you see mining spots on the ground, you can scan those and it'll count towards finding that resource. You don't have to run all over the map looking for that one resource you are missing if you happen to find a spot to mine it out of the ground.
I accidentally found that out yesterday during Sarah’s companion quest.
Do you mean the small nodes that you can break or the large veins? I knew you could scan both but im not sure which one you are talking about.
@@senerio2124 They are talking about when you see the that the large area of the ground is highlighted. You can scan that highlighted portion of the ground without needing to find the nodes.
👍
Another tip - you can find hidden deep resource nodes without perk that allows to see rare resources on scanner. Just enter outpost placement mode, run around with outpost beacon as it shows in top left corner all the deep ores extractors can mine, including rare and exotic one.
The trick to the contraband is remembering that you even picked it up in the first place after looting the hell out of an area. Wish there was an indicator in the HUD or at least in the main inventory screen that shows the contraband symbol.
Theres a gold symbol next to the item name before u pick it up
I hear you! You need to remember that you picked it up.
@garygroves7927 yeah I'm aware of that symbol, but you have to pause, open inventory, go to the misc category, and scroll through the list to see if you have any contraband. Just wish there was a symbol for contraband that wasn't buried so deep - I got busted once because I forgot I even picked it up, granted, this scenario started me on the crimson fleet quest which was cool. Just worried about the next time I forget haha.
Ok yeah i see what you mean
@@bretton696969uhh, I just look at the item and it shows the symbol. You don't have to even open you inventory
Hey Buzz!!! Love the videos! Great tips in this one. The mining laser tip was great! I had no idea about the asteroids too! I’m hoping a mod or devs add the ability to create your own star station as well as touching down on big enough asteroids to mine them!
Quick bug note, I’ve experienced two game breaking bugs at this point both before ever reaching level 20. The first is when I had to clear out pirates at a star station my FPS weapons and cutter wouldn’t fire no matter what. (My ship weapons fired fine after still) I had to clear the place with my knife and grenades! Thought it was temp for that mission but I ended up loading previous save and found out it affected all my save files! Had to start all over after I tried everything to fix it! The next was a ship clipped through my ship when in combat and would be stuck there also affected all my save files. Anyone else experience any game breaking bugs? Any tips? I’ve yet to reach level 20 and am on my third play through. I play on pc.
The only thing I can recommend you try is to create an exit save. Shut down the game completely, even boot up something else.
Hopefully the loading from the exit save will work.
I've had this happen twice so far and even occasionally in Fallout 4.
I play on series x and after about 15 hrs at lvl 12 I have not encountered any bugs at all. Hopefully it will stay that way.
@@n.s.3007 HOWd you find that out!? Lol thank you so much of the bug happens again I’ll give it a try!! If the ship thing happens I’ll have to research it cuz I had a ship stuck to my ship no matter what I did lol
Love the vids! Some random tip I found that if you need to get through a security door and you are out of digpicks just use the cutter mining gun on the door to open it.
With regards to transferring inventory from personal to ship, you can do it from anywhere on your ship without having to access the ship inventory panel in the cockpit. Anywhere onboard just open your inventory, hit whatever you use to cycle between inventories, like swapping between buying and selling from a vendor, Q by default on PC, and it will jump to ship inventory. Hit it again, and you're back to yours, but can now send to the ship.
Here is a tip i never see people mention: use the thrusters in space combat. It will help you keep your guns on the target on fly-by
It also breaks enemy locks
NPC have no idea how to fight you when you use thrusters to fly backwards...just stay barely out of their weapon range and plink away
If you are with the crimson fleet, they will buy unregistered ships
Yeah just like with contraband, i keep everything high value for late game, so i can sell at max profit.
EDIT: I'm not joining crimson until I'm done with the UC and Ranger main quests, i don't want conflicts 😆
The uc vanguard is lit as fuck. One of the best moments. Space horror almost. At it was tough to beat on very hard, lvl 38. Definetelly reccomend this later in the game.
You can also grab a jammer at the red mile. I think with that and my shielded cargo I
have an 89% chance to avoid detection
Here's info I wish I had know before losing a part I wanted to use... you cannot remove weapon / armor / suit mods like in FO4. when you remove a mod (which costs resources /sigh) it is destroyed. you can NOT use it to modify another weapon. i hope the creation kit gets here soon... there are a few small QoL things that need doing.
Good to know, thanks!

damn that ship building tip is life changing :D
👍
Speaking of contraband. What I've done so far is to just go to the red mile, and i just dump all my contraband on the ground there, i can come back for it later when i have everything in order and also when i get more money for what i sell. I have contraband for several millions on that landing pad, and it has stayed there for 20+ hours of game play.
I wish there was an option to deliver resources and ship parts to my ship instead of being encumbered.
There is, you just have to be close enough to it and facing it.
Try keeping it light loaded and buy a little of every thing you only need for crafting till you get 2.6 mill for a 2.200kg cargo b or c type ship
You can also buy ship parts from other ships while piloting yours.
Two things im obsessed with right now, skill comics are back im hunting them down, the first is on the railing of the artifact podium in the lodge, and 100% surveying a planet nets you huge exp EVEN if its a moon with 3 resources and nothing else, early game you can be sure of a lvl up every time.
Great vid! Decent info with no spoilers. Thanks!
My ships are $1,200. I'm about 20 hours in and this gets pretty expensive. Even ten are $8k to $12k... not cheap. I hope there's a way to craft them.
Definitely love the game. However i think it's unfair how the price of starfield in morocco is 50% cheaper than for the rest of the world. most of us playing are students so we can't afford it
It's free on gamepass...plus that's not a starfield problem, that's a government problem🤷♂️
Get game pass lol
This is so silly. There are many countries that pay less for games. The reason is because their economies suck. To put it in perspective $60 amount for one new game in my country is equal to half a month's groceries, 2-3 months of electricity/power, or 20x big mac meals. So the price of games is scaled to the economy of different countries, usually. Unless you're like mine, which somehow doesn't have a scaled digital store making gaming a weird luxury instead of something for everyone. It's not unfair, it's balanced, I'm glad other countries are being treated better by digital stores.
I’d like to see where you found your data that “most” Starfield players are students.
Thanks for this guide, I didn't know about the pilot sim in MAST and im glad for that tip about contraband ive left so many behind😢
I really love this game and it makes me exceedingly sad that it's not an Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam because I think this is probably one of the best Bethesda games they have released since Fallout:NV, or maybe Skyrim.
Why would that make you sad? You enjoy it
Obsidian, the team working on Avowed and the (soonish to be) two Outer Worlds games made Fallout:New Vegas, NOT Bethesda. They also (still) have original team members worked on Fallout 1 and 2 as Black Isle (Obsidian being a black rock is a shout out) and InXile (Wasteland 2, 3, Bard's Tale 4 etc) have some more of the original team.
Just wanted the OG devs to get proper credit.
Everything aspect of the game tjay involves space sucks. The the cutscenes and loading screens totally take you out the immersion. It's a good game it's just not a great game
It's a good game. I'm glad you enjoy it. As a big Space Engineers fan, I was hoping for a more enjoyable building and flying experience. I think we all fell for the marketing. It has a really cool storyline and I enjoy other areas of the game, but I cant help but feel a bit let down
@@3345karlyeah but if they have the planets close enough to travel between that would kinda break immersion too. Like NMS the planets are so close and it’s still kinda annoying to get to other planets. Space is empty af it would be kinda boring. Nobody wants to sit in a ship for literally hours to get to a neighbor planet, it’s kinda necessary to speed it up with cutscenes.
Wish they used cutscenes instead of loading screens tho.
If you sell your stolen goods and buy them back without exiting the vendor window, it will remove the stolen status and you can use them without fear of confiscation.
Had NFI you could destroy asteroids and I've looted mineral deposits 😂
👍
A pro tip I discovered last night, you don’t need to go to your ship to travel to another planet. Just open your menu go to stat map and select a route from there. Won’t work if incumbered
Glad you had your rest (you deserve it) and are back with foooorceeeee for starfield. Enjoying the game so much, your videos help me enjoy it more by showing the various layers it has. Can't wait til you cover the airship details.
❤️
The worst thing i’ve ever done is starfield is press that quit button because of irl mission😔
Keep up the amazing work Buzz. Loving the content. Keep it up brother.
What was the link for the names VASCO will say?
Thank you I am completely new but I regain a lot of knowledge from your videos
Glad to help! 👍
8:19 - you can mine gas from gas vent. Just turn OFF your scanner and you can now just look that gas deposit (and water deposits).
Just like trees
I havn't even got off Kreet yet, but Ive hidden my contraband inside the kitchen cabinet, I'm hoping it'll work 🤞
I see a visit to jail in the near future....
@@LtBuzzLitebeer Lol really? They can sense static loot? That's impressive tbh
Love your videos LtBuzz. For contraband, at least this has worked for me, if you fast travel to the Lodge instead of New Atlantis then you can keep your contraband. This is good because you can't sell stolen items until you talk to the Crimson Fleet.
What? Pretty sure The Den is available always. It's in Wolf, right next to Sol and Alpha Centauri.
Also, I'm not able to fast travel to anywhere in New Atlantis. Maybe it allowed you to because you had a main mission quest there? Usually New Atlantis, or any major port on the surface, is greyed out until you pass inspection.
Also, won't the Trade Commission or whatever they're called buy literally anything? You just have to go to one of their buildings.
@@The_Diginautthere's a difference between contraband and stolen items. Contraband, marked with yellow icons can be sold at any trade authority.
I haven't done the crimson fleet quests but the vendor at the den and the trade authority will not buy items with the red marker which indicates that you stole them.
You are correct re fast travel, you shouldn't be able to do it until you've been scanned in that system, if you can it's probably a bug.
@@SineN0mine3That's just blatantly false you can use the Trade Autority to sell stolen shit, at least in The Well you can. I cleared the dude Antonio's shop and walked right over to the Trade Autority down there and sold everything no problems
Your videos are always super helpful! Thanks for having that John Tesh like calling voice to go along with it 😂
Something to note about disabling ships. I always “quicksave” once the weed ships are gone and I am left with my target. When you have them locked you STILL have to slightly move the reticle over to the picture of the engines once targeted. Your best shots are going to be from a fast and agile small craft from behind your target.
Where link to reddit post with names?
Good tips and tricks in this video, thanks!
- I've found a magazine that supposedly buffs all ship missile damage by 5% I think that was in the UC Vanguard first mission. I've also found a book that specifically mentions the second level of a skill I don't yet have (sounds like it may grant me that level if I already have the skill unlocked). Explore mission areas as thoroughly as you can!
- Scanning a planet while in orbit will create a scan report in your inventory. If you're strapped for cash it looks like you can sell the info. I've not sold any, but it does have a value listed. Not sure if the scanning done while on the planet contributes to the value of the scan report, I just noticed these recently and haven't explored the implications of them yet.
I knew almost none of these after 50 hrs of play. Thank you sir, and you earned my sub!
Selling plundered ships is fun as hell at first but then you realize the net revenue gained after the registration fee is fucking terrible
You can register ships from the ship screen inside the tab menu. It seems to be cheaper to register them via this method vs doing it from an engineer.
I found the best way to get lots of ship parts was to randomly jump between planets and moons in a low level sector in UC or Freestar space. If you help them in any ship battles they will offer you a reward, and one of the options is ship parts. I never have to buy any and I never run out.
Secret features ? But why ? The main point of Starfield is to come out of the closet...
Space combat question: I play on Hard, which is pretty easy when it comes to ground combat. Not so when it comes to space combat! I've played a lot of the X-Wing/Tie-Fighter games, and there you could maneuver a lot to avoid enemy lasers hitting you. In Starfield, I can't avoid lasers at all. The only way to stop getting hit, is to be behind an enemy ship. And when there are more than one enemy ship, you can't be behind both of them. So my plan to make a nimble ship with a lot of fire power, but not a lot of Shield, only works against single ships. Is the only way to deal with multiple ships to have powerful shields and a lot of ship parts for repairs, then?
I think shields are fairly necessary, but you can definitely get away with making small ships to maximise your mobility, if you toggle between boosters and thrusters you can successfully dodge most enemy fire if your manoeuvering thrust is high enough.
Almost all of your Hull Points (HP) come from your reactor and jumped drive so make sure you get the strongest ones you can to absorb any hits you do take and carry extra ship parts.
You can also hire crew to buff certain stats on your ship, I'm not sure what the best skills would be to compliment your build but maybe having some weapons specialists so you're spending less time taking hits.
4/4 Engine skill breaks enemy targeting while boosting. 4/4 Shields skill has a chance for shields to ignore damage. Otherwise, yeah, you need balanced weapons/shield/maneuverability until you can unlock/afford to drop 8 turrets on your ship and just sit back and relax while they wreck ships from afar.
Yeah, I upgraded my shield, and now I can take on 3 ships without much trouble. I think avoiding enemy fire is very difficult, so you have to just tank it.
Is it just me or does Lt. sound like the narrator from How It's Made?
Anyone else watching this without even owning Starfield, hoping to snag an Xbox Series X with a Black Friday deal and play then? Man, I'm waiting to be able to play this game.
👍
IM SO ANNOYED WITH THE PAINT TIP god damn it so many HOURS i could of saved... Great video learnt alot
❤️
Learning I can paint the whole ship at the same time makes me want to cry
Nice to see some positive stuff about Starfield. So many haters out there, 70 hours in and I'm having a blast.
85 in and the same.
This game has so many little features it never explains. Like, idk why it took me a solid 100 hours before i FINALLY noticed the "hide spacesuit while in breathable area" toggle. Cause like, i knew the main buttons to use inventory so i never bothered to look down there XD Also the registration fees are a bit overkill, so i got a mod to reduce them lol
I painted my ship and every item was moved to the cargo.
Off the ground and from the captains cargo.
Twas very annoying
Oof
Perhaps in the future this comment will be moot if they update stuff from starfield's Bethesda, but I find it weird that in the ships menu I could register the ship for less than if I were to land it and go to the ship modifier person.
Agreed
I don't know if this is a feature, but I noticed, when I don't build the shield on the upper top of the ship, the enemy has a harder time to hit the shield. For example, build a design component in front of the shield and a pod entrance behind the shield. So it's covered by the 2 components and is a bit more safe from incoming hits.
You could let players find these themselves, youtube and tiktok of full of people telling us what to do and where to go, games just come out, let them find it for themselves!!!
I partially agree but you and I didn’t have to watch this video
The new thing is to register the ship via the menu instead of with the ship tech. The menu doenst take into account your commerce skill while using the ship tech does.
Correct, and I amended that ship registration method in Episode 2 of my series. 👍
Excellent work and no spoilers! Thank you!
For those on console click a part and press LB to select all. I think it tells you at the bottom but I know sometimes it just flies over a lot of our heads😂
The "paint all" for the ship tip alone is a life saver. Thanks for the vid! New sub :)
❤️
Thank you for this. I have 50+ hours in so far and didn't know 1/2 of these little details.
❤️
cant wait to get into that ship simulator and start working on my piloting skills. Thanks for that tip, i would have never found that. Also for quick scanning, if a resource is present in the soil it can be scanned. Took me a while to figure that one out. lol.
On XBOX to select whole ship I hit LB to edit whole ship to paint
To be honest I didn't watch the video.
Finding out secrets on your own is part of the fun.
I can respect that POV 👍
For the contraband bit, you have plenty of time to grav jump. First theyll give the scan spiel and then do a scan and theyll either detect the contraband or not. If they do, they will ask to board but give a warning that if you reject you will suffer the consequences. It then proceeds to give you a choice of accept or reject. During that entire time of the speech, the scan and the second speech asking to board, you have time to pull up your star map and grav jump to another system.
I really want to play this game. Should I get a Xbox instead of a ps5?
It is only available on Xbox and pc. I think it’s worth the purchase
I got this unique feature where I cant launch the game because of my old gpu :)
🤦
Discovered #2 by accident. Felt great.
