Here's my 04-Vengeance: The ULTIMATE Ship Build for insane DPS, large Cargo space, Jump range, EZ boarding and so much more! Lemme know what you think ^^ *I've UPGRADED The Build! DOUBLED the Crew Size & Mobility, added a bed and so much more!* th-cam.com/video/o4aJdcE1HKA/w-d-xo.html Make sure to join our Discord to stay in the loop with channel updates and connect with the community: tiny.cc/txeavz
For anyone interested, the Galileo II at New Atlantis shipbuilder works very well as a donor ship for this. Allows you to get it up and flying and able to exit ship builder with it like 90% done or so.
Tiny suggestion, try replacing your slim docker with Extender Port 200 Docker, In this case you don't need the extra 1x1 hub and you avoid having the ladder
Very cool efficient ship, I like the way you presented it. Some guys barely give you time to see what parts they used, you hovered over everything which is helpful.
This is one of the first ship build videos I didn't cringe at within five minutes. Some people do some weird things to fight the bad hab routing issues. The aesthetics are great and the ship is built to purpose. I also agree that Stroud and Nova have the best aesthetic pieces in game. This looks a lot like a beefed up Star Eagle. Some things you've mentioned have me now rethinking my current rebuild of the Kepler R. The Kepler R is an ugly mess, but some great core parts for a starter C class ship.
YOU my friend are golden! You have given me a “Perfect” Valheim island to adventure on and NOW I have a beautiful and capable ship to roam the galaxy!? Oddly enough I have stumbled upon both of those videos while looking for related videos. WAT! ? Thank you..Great work.
Just finished my first play through and there was a relic that needed 28 lightyear ship. Good idea to have a way to get to that easily on any ship you build since you will need it.
I just wanted to say, this guide was fantastic! It was easy to follow, all the parts were named and explained, and I was able to build my own, with a few slight differences. The biggest being the removal of the wing struts. Bringing those wings in has basically given me the "Defiant" style ship I was looking for! Thank you so much!
Hey mate! 😃 Very nice ship! I can appreciate the time it took to obtain the degree of perfection you wanted, myself having spent an unreasonable amount of hours each time I went from class A to B to C! It feels soooo great when it's done. I'm looking at my sleepless eyes in the mirror and I tell myself: "worth it!" I finished my massive ship yesterday at lvl 50. Called it the UC Ascendant. It is built to be perfect gameplay wise with emphasis on roleplay "makes sense" vibe and 8 crew members. I managed to have it to 100 maneuverability and it's literally 1 pound away from falling to 99! With a whooping 6500 kg cargo space! From a perfection seeker to another I'd love to show it to you! Gotta figure how to publish more than one picture on Reddit first 😅 I also wish to compliment you on how well your video plays out. Quite well done sir. I am subscribing. 😊 Have a very nice day!
Thanks for the kind words, appreciate it! Oh yes, 100 maneuverability is something to work on still, while on higher levels thats much easier (which I still need). Grats on achieving that! Feel free to share your build on our Discord, would love to check it out! Welcome to the channel and have a great day ^^
I’ve spent so much time working on ship builds. I have 3 custom ships, all at 100 mobility 30ly jump range. A light fighter that’s all manual particle beams and only 1 hab, a heavy fighter that has all needed habs, 6 vanguard obliterators, 4 suppressors and 4 missile launchers, a battle cruiser that’s all turrets, max shields. I also have a cargo hauler that has only a few turrets but 51,000+ cargo space but 0 mobility. I’d say a 3rd of my playtime (3.5 days total playtime currently) is just spent on perfecting my ships.
Looked in New Atlantis, Stroud Eklund Station, and my main outpost. None of them had all the parts needed to build this ship, had to surrender the idea
Great video! I've been playing Starfield for about 3 months and shipbuilding seemed pretty complicated until I really got into this build. Your video gave me the confidence to experiment and really enjoy this aspect of the game. Thanks!
Looks real good wish I could just buy it. My main ship is a upgraded Stronghold can take it to the Key spacestation, kill all the pirates with my 8x auto turrets. Just fly around till no more pirates loads of XP earned easy. I'm at level 30 now so looking to design my own ship thats looks good, not too massive with 5k cargo no need for more.
Several things I like about this build, it really has everything, but a lot of builds do. I have watched dozens of other builds on TH-cam, but this one is the best overall in my opinion. The thing about this build is it's not too crazy. It's really got everything, and I prefer this build over the updated one because of the cargo space, but if you want crew space you might want to build that one. Build isn't too hard, price is reasonable, especially for what you get. I may build a monstrosity some day, but for almost everything this is your flying base.
I like the simple interior layout. This is a great 4 crew, multi-role ship. The only change i would make woild be to swap out the armory for a crews quarters. You will need some bunks for those overnight stays on Venus 😉.
Nice build ... I would drop the missiles and replace them with Disrupter 3320A's, I would also replace the Obliterators with the 3320A's ... I also don't think you need more than 1 suppressor, there doesn't seem to be a benefit to having more than 1. For me I have 2 main ships, one is just for inventory management and has about 35K cargo space, the other is a combat ship. All of my piloting is done with the combat ship, I set my cargo ship to home when I need to manage inventory ... then back to the combat ship.
I am just starting the game and am already seeing this as what I want to do. A ship for cargo and crafting, and one for mission running and fighting. I wasn't sure how well it would work but seeing this gives me confidence.
The crew skill size perk works in tandem with the crew skill size stat on your ship. By default your crew skill size is 3, but if your ship only has a stat of 2 then you can only have 2. Your ship has a stat of 4, so even with a max perk stat that gives you 8 you'd still be limited to 4. In order to get 8 crew you need both the perk stat and the ship stat to be at 8 or higher.
An easy fix for this layout is to just swap the armory for one of the habs that gives crew space, the living quarters I think? That swap should get you a couple more crew (it's either 2 or 4, I think).
@@kedolan4992 Control room is the best as that's +4. But that's not really what I was getting at. The video creator was basically implying that the crew stat on ships didn't matter since there was a perk skill. I was just clarifying that you need both.
@@OllieMartinGamer He talks about it, but he gets it wrong, saying not to worry about what it says in the ship stats because you can increase it with the perks. But you need both. That's why I was clarifying.
Thanks for the ship design, I added habs on the wings that add crew slots and used the hoptech cross brace instead of the engine bracers. Swapped the location of the side landing gear and the cross brace. I also used 3 sal-6380 instead of the 2 supernova engines, this allows to me to have over 7k cargo with mobility in the 70's still. you could have more mobility even if you replace the 2 outer engines too, but i like how they look.
Cool ship, but it’s missing a few things: 1. bed (XP buff) 2. Cooking station/galley (cook for food buffs or well fed bonus if using survival mechanics) 3. Beds for crew, bathroom (for RP) You could use the Hab decoration mechanics to add beds and a cooking station to your existing habs if you didn’t want to add or change habs, if you wanted to.
Love this build, very Klingon warbird-esque. It'd be fun to see how close you could come to this using the Star Eagle starter ship, that way you could just upgrade along the way.
COST - Having built 04AM's ship from scratch (thanks for the tutorial), I can confirm that building this Mk.I ship from scratch (excluding the starter ship), is around 280k. All the parts are available from a combination of New Atlantis and Porrima III, although neither shipyard have all the parts by themselves. For info, I was level 38 when I built the ship, and had Commerce level 3, which would probably have reduced the cost of the build. I'm now working on getting to level 57, as that is a requirement for getting the SF40 Shear Flow Reactor needed for the Mk.II version of this ship.
I have an endgame bounty hunter ship. I make sure that both the Bay and the Docker attach to either a captains quarters or an all in one with a nav console (nova galactic all in one a). The nav console is very handy, because it allows you to fast travel with no loading screens while you are encumbered. So because every way in has a nav console right in front it is super easy for me to travel around with an entire arsenal in my inventory. Also nice to have a bed right there, and that hab is usually the only part of my ship I ever see unless im roleplaying.
@@Galiant2010 oof I played over a hundred hours and didn't realize until your comment. But yeah I guess that's true. But I still like the navy console I guess I'm just role-playing
@@Galiant2010 but it's really nice to have a bed right when you enter so you can heal from boarding. When I board a big ship sometimes I dash back to my ship to use a Bed
I really like this idea. The habs with both with bed & nav table. Great idea. Will need a bottom docker I think tho, a slim? I know we can tab travel once inside a hatch. That’s my usual mode. But I like the +1 role play of doing it via the nav table. Even though I’m carrying tens of thousands of Kg of crafted goods to sell… lol. I am building linked storage into defensive walls around my fave crafting base, so I can dump all resources there instead of my ships. But I still haul the comm units away on person to sell in neon core. Not sure we can place 2 Captain quarters but I prefer to isolate mine up high behind a hatch, so I don’t wake up from “sleeping with” my wife to find Sam & his daughter chatting right there… doh.
the free star ranger ship is a fantastic ship if you can't afford to buy one. I earned it through the quests, brought the wings in to the main body, and reduced extra rooms to increase maneuverability. its size was very small and I never lost a fight in it. I put a lot into weapons and shield. it was capable of 27LY of travel, and I never ran out of storage
Nice ship but not as efficient as it could be. You are correct with fuel, but no issue to even go less. 1600 shield is pointless, the 1500 is way less mass and far more efficient. Yes early game, 5000 plus cargo is a must especially if you are in ship combat or boarding. If using a 2 or 3 level ship, the double level cockpit with stairs is the most efficient as it allows no use for 1x1 connection halls and it's possible to build without any ladders. Shielded cargo is very mass heavy. As long as a player sells contraband, only one of the smallest is required. The contraband pirate missions are not worth the reward, only those require large shielded cargo , 390 units...again pointless because selling guns makes the most profit , any contraband you find on ships easily fit in the single smallest shielded cargo. Use pirate base equipment signal jammer for 89% evade ship scanning on your cargo searches. Pirates have the best three equipment for target locking as well. Those 3 are must have items on any ship . Landing gear. The large hope 55 are beasts and super cool VTOL. More thrust, less mass Your aim for that size cargo is 61 to 70 mobility. There are better options for engines. To seriously pump up your mobility, try the highest manoeuvre rated 8500 ones . In my testing though, you can still kill anything in game on normal with even a 30 manoeuvre rating as long as you have targeting systems skill. Remove shields then EM enemy weapons, missiles on adds. Board the highest rated Roman numeral enemy ship , III being the best ones. I'm 170 hours in game, level 58-60 unlocks the best modules. I tell everyone, fly to level 60-75 area, try to capture a 40 rated reactor enemy ship. Use this as your base. Preferably a Hyena III as it's parts are also very cool. You save hundreds of thousands on build cost. Please use white building parts in builder when showing builds, it's much easier to see the detail, cheers
I've found the best engines for maneuverability to be some of the smaller ones, actually. They have a lower maneuvering thrust stat, but because they have a much lower mass and only use 2 power each you can put more of them totaling more thrust per mass per power.
@@Galiant2010 you are way down on manoeuvrability. With 6000 cargo, it's possible to have 60-65 with not even the best engines. You are in the 40's That's what I get with 8-10K cargo That shield you use is too much mass. Gotta tweak your mass more. 1600 shield is a trap, so is shielded cargo unless you are a pirate/smuggler
@@Nzchimeran I'm not in the 40s, I'm not the video creator. My ships have 90-100 mobility, currently I have 96. With 2k cargo space, including some of that being shielded, and with the 1600 shield, and 12 weapons and a full 8 crew slots. I don't need any more cargo space. And my maneuverability is basically maxed out, and my top speed is 150. Cargo space is the real trap. There's no need to buy into having so much.
oh right. Yes cargo huge trap, my issue is all the stuff that fills it when you sell captured ships, and that vendors dont have enough money to buy it all. Also need a "sell all miscellaneous " button so badly. Still , a very good game, lets hope they drop an update soon. @@Galiant2010
Put the dock on top. I have a very similar build with the dock on top, chose better engines and reactor. I have more cargo, 99 mobility, 150 top speed, and way more weapons I built off of the mantis.
Awesome build, this has become my main ship. I love how you did it and I interpreted it slightly differently to make it all one level and put habs on the wings while keeping relatively the same design.
Having watched 15 consecutive build videos, congratulations being the only one that isn't BORING to listen to :) Oh man that last guy, 5 mins in it's still the goddamn intro lol. Subbed, gonna watch the rest now bro!
LOL would not call this an ultimate ship build, but I realize youtubers need something to pull in the views.... and def not a bad ship. Will thumbs up your vid. I also LOVE the ship building in this game. Can not wait for modders or bethesda to expand on it... I want more parts to play with! Benchmark I've been using to test out each ship is to jump to (don't want to spoil anything for anyone still not there) that system with the pirate space station ... They all dead ... got an ultimate ship... or at least a keeper... I blow up or have to leave... then I go back and tinker some more or just keep it in the garage as a collectable
I've built a heavy cruiser with 8 crew capacity, 26k cargo, workshop, science lab, 1600 shields & insane dps... makes your's look really tame tbh. I also have a small fighter that cruises at 214, boosts to over 1,000 & turns stupid quick
Great video and ship design…. I’ve finally figured out how to builds ships that I don’t get lost in and loved your simple approach! The only suggest is for future builds make the parts a lighter color as it made it difficult to see with everything black.
Thank you for taking the time to break this down... I've been using the claymore..if I can redesign it with a front entry and armory like this it might hunt...
I am so new to ship building, I have no idea how to get all of those part! lol this looks incredibly fun, wish it was in a list form and based on location. Also wouldn’t mind seeing you go from place to place to acquire it all, but the walkthrough/layout was super awesome man, thanks!
Cheers for the video. I can see you've put the hours in to make this awesome craft. I've built mind and it's say oversized and say overpowered. It's got 8000 cargo and it's looks like a scorpion with it 10 landing years when it's landed. But I just get lost when I'm improving or upgrading this monster. It so huge it hangs over the landing bays.
Two significant problems with this design: 1) You can replace all 4 of these engines at level 36 with White Dwarf 3030 Engines. This will produce 16,400 more thrust for 580 less Mass. This will cause your Top Speed to increase to 150 from your current 130, and with the increased thrust and lower mass, your Mobility will increase substantially. 2) With the HABs you have installed, there is no bed aboard ship. This will make you lose out on the +10% XP bonus. Finally, a non-problem, problem: remember that the 'rule-of-cool' is your enemy in good ship design. The more mass you add in order to make your ship look good is going to make you less capable during combat and transport missions.
@@RandomZeroGravity I tried to stay within the limitations O4AM set out in this vid. That was Level 36 and SD3. Actually, I would expect most crafting-focused players would have SD4 by level 30 so it would be no problem. But I tried to abide by the parameters and limitations set forth in the video.
This information is incorrect. There's a few things people need to know about engines and what you've said here is wrong and will result in issue with their builds. First, top speed is NOT DETERMINED BY THRUST AND MASS. This is something I see repeated over and over again and it's absolutely false. The determining factor in top speed is based entirely on your chosen engines. That's it. By default Class A engines cap at 150, B cap at 140, and C cap at 130 NO MATTER WHAT YOUR MASS IS. There are special engines that will break these rules, but they are specific to that engine. For instance, the White Dwarf 3015 is a Class A that grants 180 as the top speed. What is impacted by Mass is your maneuverability, and your suggestion will result in LESS maneuverability because you gain thrust but lose maneuvering thrust, the second thrust stat on the engine. Their engines are worth roughly 16 maneuverability for my current build and your engines are only worth 15, meaning I would lose 4 maneuverability changing to your build. And Maneuverability > generic thrust. The actual main issue is his cargo size. He has loaded up SO MUCH cargo he's exploded the mass of his ship. The single largest contributor to mass for any ship is their cargo size. Going over roughly 3000 cargo is essentially impossible without sacrificing a ton of maneuverability. My current endgame ship is sitting on 3080 cargo with enough shielded combined with two jammers to max out scanning avoidance even with a massive contraband inventory. Another situation is fuel. Fuel is a weird system and you need very little, he's not optimizing his mass for fuel, but really the difference is likely 1-2 maneuverability at best, so likely not that big a deal. As for "rule of cool" structural pieces are 5 mass per, so if adding them is tanking your maneuverability it's not the rule of cool hurting your ship, it's that you've loaded up too much other crap on the ship. If you're at the point where 5 mass changes the Maneuverability you've already made mistakes elsewhere, because optimizing the engines (which is the SAE-5k engine line, 140 max speed with the best maneuvering thrust to mass ratio) and managing cargo without going overboard is going to do far more for you, because that's where all your mass is.
hey 04AM. i just want to thank you for spending so much time on this build for us, even with the headaches that came from it 🤣 your build was a great ship for me because i hate ship combat (i just hate flying things in general, except for birds) and i didnt wanna get all angry at myself for sucking at it (i dont but i tend to put the blame on myself and not the ship im using) im like lvl 442 and have been playing for a long ass time, so the ship building went insanely smooth and i had no problems with it, i even made my own variants of it! with different parts and such to make the 04-Vengeance (or is I named mine "The Ooga-Booga Machine" because its terrifying) the best i could, of course i give credit to you for giving me such a awesome base ship to use in my own building style. as for the Stroud habs i was gonna say use hopetech they're much cleaner but you already figured that out. anyways, thanks for activating my creative side again! signed, Nightstalker
Easily one of the nicest ship builds on the Tube that isn’t outlandishly complicated layout/parts wise. Very strong and looks the part too. I will second the commenter who said it’s missing a bed and would add that it lacks end game jump range but that could be remedied by getting your Astrodynamics skill to lvl 3. Overall: Clean, simple, efficient & powerful. Very well done! I’m past lvl 70 and haven’t built a ship yet but I just might copy this one ;)
I don't know if this is a known thing, but you if you do it just right there is a large cargo hold that you can get to flip upside down. So, you can cover most of the fuel tanks and shield generators with it, if you want a sleek/clean look
Awesome ship! Ship building is something that I am very much not good at as I get confused where to go for what. You make it look easy of course! Would love to build this for myself but I honestly don't even know where to start. But nice job!
Your design inspired me to build my own variant of your ship. Not every item was available, im level 50, but seems that a couple of items were different or had slight variations on their version numbers, but I got 99% of the stuff. I did make some changes though, too much cargo weighed the whole thing down, im not really a cargo person, so reduced it by half and reduced the mass by 1/3 which maxed out manoeuvrability to 100. I also changed the engines as I didnt like two giant batteries sticking out of the back (considering how much you see of it). I did use two mods, one mod was to change the pov to a much better distance for the ship and the ship parts mod. You still need to be levelled and certified in all 3 departments to be able to use the parts though. I just got fed up with running to each system for 1 part at a time. Makes building much more fun. I really liked your design, it inspired me to make my own from scratch. Wish we could save them as blueprints.
@@04AMofficialI have had quite some fun with it, its easier to board ships too, I never really used Em weapons, so being able to have them at hand helps too. I have made a few refinements to the design, I swapped out the science lab and workshop for habitat modules as I dont really need them. I just craft back at the lodge. It looks nicer too. The original design had no bed space for my crew. (despite jumpseats), so I swapped them out. That is about the only change I made after I test flew the ship for a couple ok hours. There is actually room if I want to put the workshop back as I removed two of the structural landing gear (too many). But I prefer to keep it simple (in terms of navigation around the habs). Thanks for the inspiration.
I've been watching soooo many shipbuild videos and alway "hmm intressting but no", this one im actually gonna build right now. Good jobb, only crític i have is the cockpit, not sure i love that long neck :) Anyways, good jobb, about to test this baby out right now!
The Vanguard Obliterator and the PBO-175 have better DPS than the Obliterator that you went with along with requiring less power. This lets you stack more for more damage. This build does give me some ideas. My goal is to create a ship like what you have but with max speed and mobility as well.
Modify the Star Eagle. You'll have to compromise a bit on cargo space, but otherwise it's really easy to turn it into a 150 speed / 100 mobility ship with a similar aesthetic, and it's only Class A so you can build & fly it in the early game with no skill investment required.
@@Nate123318 I just modified the Razorleaf as my early game ship. I've since created a 180 speed (280 with crew) ship with 100 mobility. It uses six vanguard obliterators and four PBO-175 which can delete anything within a few seconds. The third slot is for three PBO-100 turrets that destroy most lower level ships before I even get a chance to directly attack them. The shield is a 1450 one which is more than enough as the extra weight needed to get at most 150 more isn't worth it.
Awesome ship i made one i am at level 102 but for some reason i could not get the same reactor and jump drive i will be using this ship all the time thanks for the video may be it is because I am playing the game on an X Box one
Yeah, but in my experience so far, they also tend to be the heaviest, at least for structural parts (lots of 8's and 10's where most others are 2's, 3's, and 5's). Not a complaint per se, but if you're looking for lighter, faster ships, you might have to forgo Stroud-Eklund, especially if you're sticking with A-class parts.
the unfortunate thing is all the companies that LOOK good have shitty parts. And all the companies that have good parts look bad. Stroud/Eklund and Hopetech look fantastic, but they have terrible parts when it comes to making your ship not look like a cube. Taiyo has pretty rounded edges, but all of their parts are hyper specific use. Deimos doesn't look super great, but got the best range of parts for any build. Nova has really nice parts, but it's HABS are hideous. building without using at least 2 companies is a pain in the ass.
@@dokuujin1851 Something I've noticed is that none of the ships you can buy seem to have only one sole manufacturer, so this would seem to be a problem in-universe too. lol Still holding out for DLC parts. D-rank, perhaps? I actually like Nova for the retro look. I used it almost exclusively to remake the Wanderwell into a cargo hauler.
Like it alot - my layout even though my ship looks different is very similar but I had a fear of numbers decreasing (lol) so wanted to keep my speed at 150 and mobility near 100 so didnt place near as much cargo or larger reactor on my ship which is class B
thanks man, i didnt do ship like that but it helped me a lot to understand how it works and how make my ship smaller, studier, and with more weapons :)
@circleofowls said iit well - "It'd be fun to see how close you could come to this using the Star Eagle starter ship, that way you could just upgrade along the way." I would love to see that too - as the startership has so much already - but want max storage (close to 3600 or more) and 6 crew. And Thanks for a great presentation and going slow enough for us new builders to see what it is you are doing!
Yea I only recently discovered that spaceship, its crazy how similar it looks while I never found it before! I think that upgrade makes is super easy actually (never did any story missions xD)
I wish you could get crew to fly the ship. I want a full bridge of crew and i want that feeling you get in rust or minecraft when it's night and time to craft. Step into the workshop and start working, then get called up by the crew because something is approaching. I want to feel like piccard being called to respond.
I wish all ship-building videos were this concise, efficient and easy-to-follow. Thanks so much! Quick question: from absolute scratch, what's the cost of this ship?
Super easy way to gain mobility and keep the design feel is to replace the Nova engines with two SAE-5220, and place a Stroud Cowling 1LA on top of it. This gives you the exact same attachment points, while offering better mobility and lower mass. I did however decide to use this as a framework for my new B class build at engame, planning to have one ship of every class maximizing the best of what I can do with it. I think overall if you want good mobility with large cargo B is the way to go, but you have to sacrifice the best shield in the game for it. Fortunately the main benefit of the class C ships right now appears to be the shield strength at endgame, since class b gets higher speed, similar hull value, better mass management, and a lot of the B class weapons and even some A class weapons are neck and neck with the C class options.
You can have class C weapons if you install a class C power plant. However nothing prevents you from using class B or A parts on your ship, despite technically being a class C ship. My own (class C) ship for instance uses class A engines for class A speed and mobility (albeit low cargo).
@@panpiper correct but the reactors themselves have differences. I am mainly talking about the benefits of the reactors. If you have access to all parts, and you're already using the class B and class A parts, the class B reactor provides a much better mass benefit. The primary reason to run a class C reactor is 1 extra energy for systems, Class C turrets IF you have turrets unlocked, and the potential for higher shielding. So far it seems that 4x 3 energy weapons performs slightly better than 3x 4 energy weapons. Overall the balance in the parts seems haphazard at best.
My friend, excellent work!!! You can make adjustments for play style as needed, and the cargo space!! ( I'm a hoarder ) Will MOST DEFINITELY BUILD! You just added a SUB!!
Im a horder aswell, but think this is the perfect size of cargo for every day run, you can have a designated cargo ship for when you need for outpost or the like. Just custimize ship to select the new one, and you got a full cargoship on the side
Excellent build. I like the styling. Especially considering what it includes. Hardly a compromise. Can i ask what the ball park cost was? I don't recall hearing it in the vid. To the nearest 100k would be a help
every part except for the reactor and the ng-15 landing gear is available in an outpost landing pad. so keep in mind you’ll need to do a couple tweaks and spend a few extra credits until you can get those on. so with those tweaks, at level 3 commerce, it costed me _240,000_ credits (which is actually super cheap, especially compared to store-bought ships.)
if ur ship is at under 60 mobility, use turrets. Instead of slapping more weapons on it that run at a 3rd of of power, less weapons but full power to them. Also, you have 4 crew stations, your weapons alone are taking those up. meaning you do not have crew to staff shield, power and engines. u need to up crew stations to be on pair what you need. try to stay below 8 which is the max crew number u can have (perks required.). the atlas 270 do 277 pts of dmg, they are lower in number but much higher in dmg. u dont need 4 EMPs, 1 or 2 is enough. u only board one ship out of every fight anyhow. At 11:50 you made the mistakes to rerout power from shields. 1 bar of a shield that needs 12 bars, means you run run 10% shield. so if it has 1600 pts, 10% of that is what u get. a shield with 12 bars means stack 12 or ur shield is not at the advertised 1600 pts. running ur engines at 3 bars = 30% for u use all 12 due to 4 engines. and who goes slow, gets hammered.
Much easier if you just do the Kepler R quest and mod that ship. I modded the Kepler R ship to make it legendary (nearly 10k cargo capacity - a real godsend for collectors of crap), all workbenches and armory, first two weapons max'd out (both 3k range, one is auto turret - I like to aim the other) and missiles are so so (damn reactor limitation - have all bars on reactor), 1.8k shields, not the longest jump range but close. The ship is a beast, nothing can touch it. For fun took down the whole UC fleet over Alpha Centauri as a test. The only bad thing is not having a direct route to the cockpit, but you don't need it when you can go directly to cockpit by hitting R on the entrance hatch. All ships I steal I sell.
Very well done sir. Made a few tweaks of my own as far as engines and dropping cargo. Brought mobility up 100. Quite similar to a build I did yesterday.
Also, for some reason it says the link to your discord is invalid. Would love to post photos the tweaks I've done and get feedback on those adjustments as well as other builds I intend to do
Question. Why not place the docking port just off of the cockpit? That is if you're able to. But I will say this: less is more, and you have done a terrific job implementing that theory.
Neh. The best weapon combination in my opinion is the pulse laser + railgun, the best there is at your level with energy consumption 3. Their huge advantage is that they have a capacitor that allows you to fire a dozen shots even with one stick of energy. By installing four of these, you will get an insane power of shots, and the third weapon system can be either rockets (also 4 of 3 energy, since they have this capacitor) or jammers. I've found this to be the perfect balance of firepower so far.
Whoa, absolutely awesome. I'm going to try this build, no two ways about it. Thank you so much for the guide! -- And yes, of course I will love to se more of your ship builds. I reckon you've made the ones you were going to make by now, it's been 4 months. But I'm going to look them up. 😊 PS. What is Ballast Shielded Cargo Hold? Where do you buy those?
this is exacly what i was looking for has a ship with minimum important set up, good weaponery, efficent to go in and out, alots of cargo capacity and be able to contrabande acceptable qty, small negatif point small maneauvrability but he can t get it all choose cargo so it is fine with me.. Good looks always a delight to look at it. in space and battle. did make it tonight and still testing where i can't go for now all good. realy a good work and planning on this ship. 💯 all the way you made my day. good work and hope to see more ps. did switch ajustement for the captain quater went for a deluxe 🤣 for the 2 other kept armory and prodution table. keep up man looking ofrwed to get more from you. wil tell friend about you see ya in space.
I made an absolute atrocity of a ship out of the silent runner you can buy from hopetech. 6,990 cargo (most important to me), 10 crew (why is 10 even an option when the skill maxes at 8), 87 mobility, and 25 LY jump. I’m only level 40 so I hope the level 60 upgrades get me to 30 LY jump as that’s all I can complain about.
That's what I thought. It's super cool, but I don't know how I'd feel about 41 mobility. I'll probably build it over a ship I steal and test it out to see.
Great looking ship, but I didn't see a bed. Probably easily resolved by swapping the armor or maybe a storage bay with a hab. Thanks for a great video!
My ship is now class C but it is nasty AF, I may do a video of that and the class A I am working too. I turned the Razorleaf into an Unstoppable killing machine with great cargo, long range, great fuel, all the things
Great ship! Though if you use a certain docker (I forget the name but something tells me it’s nova) it’ll actually be an inaccessible 1x1 room, so instead of having a hole in your floor it’d be like having another bay, but it’s just the docker
Here's my 04-Vengeance: The ULTIMATE Ship Build for insane DPS, large Cargo space, Jump range, EZ boarding and so much more! Lemme know what you think ^^

Looks great. Might have to build that.
@@sharazar Looks great, but dang dude, what did you pay for it? I don't want to start this thing and realize it costs a million credits.
Nice ship, looks great, but it's a LADDER, not a STAIRCASE, two completely different things that look nothing like each other.
Actually, you just upgraded the Star Eagle and made it more efficient but the design is no doubt from the Star Eagle 😉 but still nice build though
Shielded cargo?
For anyone interested, the Galileo II at New Atlantis shipbuilder works very well as a donor ship for this. Allows you to get it up and flying and able to exit ship builder with it like 90% done or so.
Can't find any Galileo II there. Only the first one. I'm Lvl 11. and 3rd ship engineering.
I only have the Galileo III available. Lvl 63, max Starship Engineering
Tiny suggestion, try replacing your slim docker with Extender Port 200 Docker, In this case you don't need the extra 1x1 hub and you avoid having the ladder
Very cool efficient ship, I like the way you presented it. Some guys barely give you time to see what parts they used, you hovered over everything which is helpful.
I stole one from crimson fleet 😂 looks like a bus
@@unknownwolf8555 Me too actually. Space Bus Drivers unite!
@vectar I got one looks like a bus or a truck
😳😅🤣@@unknownwolf8555
This is one of the first ship build videos I didn't cringe at within five minutes. Some people do some weird things to fight the bad hab routing issues.
The aesthetics are great and the ship is built to purpose. I also agree that Stroud and Nova have the best aesthetic pieces in game. This looks a lot like a beefed up Star Eagle.
Some things you've mentioned have me now rethinking my current rebuild of the Kepler R. The Kepler R is an ugly mess, but some great core parts for a starter C class ship.
YOU my friend are golden! You have given me a “Perfect” Valheim island to adventure on and NOW I have a beautiful and capable ship to roam the galaxy!? Oddly enough I have stumbled upon both of those videos while looking for related videos.
WAT! ?
Thank you..Great work.
Just finished my first play through and there was a relic that needed 28 lightyear ship. Good idea to have a way to get to that easily on any ship you build since you will need it.
I just wanted to say, this guide was fantastic! It was easy to follow, all the parts were named and explained, and I was able to build my own, with a few slight differences. The biggest being the removal of the wing struts. Bringing those wings in has basically given me the "Defiant" style ship I was looking for! Thank you so much!
Bro where did u find the majority of those parts tho
Hey mate! 😃
Very nice ship! I can appreciate the time it took to obtain the degree of perfection you wanted, myself having spent an unreasonable amount of hours each time I went from class A to B to C!
It feels soooo great when it's done. I'm looking at my sleepless eyes in the mirror and I tell myself: "worth it!"
I finished my massive ship yesterday at lvl 50. Called it the UC Ascendant. It is built to be perfect gameplay wise with emphasis on roleplay "makes sense" vibe and 8 crew members.
I managed to have it to 100 maneuverability and it's literally 1 pound away from falling to 99! With a whooping 6500 kg cargo space!
From a perfection seeker to another I'd love to show it to you! Gotta figure how to publish more than one picture on Reddit first 😅
I also wish to compliment you on how well your video plays out. Quite well done sir. I am subscribing. 😊
Have a very nice day!
Thanks for the kind words, appreciate it!
Oh yes, 100 maneuverability is something to work on still, while on higher levels thats much easier (which I still need). Grats on achieving that!
Feel free to share your build on our Discord, would love to check it out!
Welcome to the channel and have a great day ^^
So many night with sleep lost testing things it’s not even funny. I told my son I found my Minecraft in starfield ship building😂
Would love to see your build Max!
I’ve spent so much time working on ship builds. I have 3 custom ships, all at 100 mobility 30ly jump range. A light fighter that’s all manual particle beams and only 1 hab, a heavy fighter that has all needed habs, 6 vanguard obliterators, 4 suppressors and 4 missile launchers, a battle cruiser that’s all turrets, max shields. I also have a cargo hauler that has only a few turrets but 51,000+ cargo space but 0 mobility. I’d say a 3rd of my playtime (3.5 days total playtime currently) is just spent on perfecting my ships.
Looked in New Atlantis, Stroud Eklund Station, and my main outpost. None of them had all the parts needed to build this ship, had to surrender the idea
Great video! I've been playing Starfield for about 3 months and shipbuilding seemed pretty complicated until I really got into this build. Your video gave me the confidence to experiment and really enjoy this aspect of the game. Thanks!
Looks real good wish I could just buy it.
My main ship is a upgraded Stronghold can take it to the Key spacestation, kill all the pirates with my 8x auto turrets.
Just fly around till no more pirates loads of XP earned easy.
I'm at level 30 now so looking to design my own ship thats looks good, not too massive with 5k cargo no need for more.
Several things I like about this build, it really has everything, but a lot of builds do. I have watched dozens of other builds on TH-cam, but this one is the best overall in my opinion. The thing about this build is it's not too crazy. It's really got everything, and I prefer this build over the updated one because of the cargo space, but if you want crew space you might want to build that one. Build isn't too hard, price is reasonable, especially for what you get. I may build a monstrosity some day, but for almost everything this is your flying base.
I like the simple interior layout. This is a great 4 crew, multi-role ship. The only change i would make woild be to swap out the armory for a crews quarters. You will need some bunks for those overnight stays on Venus 😉.
And since Venus is so hot and muggy, clothing optional is definitely the smart move. 😂
Nice build ... I would drop the missiles and replace them with Disrupter 3320A's, I would also replace the Obliterators with the 3320A's ... I also don't think you need more than 1 suppressor, there doesn't seem to be a benefit to having more than 1.
For me I have 2 main ships, one is just for inventory management and has about 35K cargo space, the other is a combat ship. All of my piloting is done with the combat ship, I set my cargo ship to home when I need to manage inventory ... then back to the combat ship.
I am just starting the game and am already seeing this as what I want to do. A ship for cargo and crafting, and one for mission running and fighting. I wasn't sure how well it would work but seeing this gives me confidence.
The crew skill size perk works in tandem with the crew skill size stat on your ship. By default your crew skill size is 3, but if your ship only has a stat of 2 then you can only have 2. Your ship has a stat of 4, so even with a max perk stat that gives you 8 you'd still be limited to 4. In order to get 8 crew you need both the perk stat and the ship stat to be at 8 or higher.
Exactly, and nicely explained.
An easy fix for this layout is to just swap the armory for one of the habs that gives crew space, the living quarters I think? That swap should get you a couple more crew (it's either 2 or 4, I think).
@@kedolan4992 Control room is the best as that's +4. But that's not really what I was getting at. The video creator was basically implying that the crew stat on ships didn't matter since there was a perk skill. I was just clarifying that you need both.
He says that at the end.
@@OllieMartinGamer He talks about it, but he gets it wrong, saying not to worry about what it says in the ship stats because you can increase it with the perks. But you need both. That's why I was clarifying.
Thanks for the ship design, I added habs on the wings that add crew slots and used the hoptech cross brace instead of the engine bracers. Swapped the location of the side landing gear and the cross brace. I also used 3 sal-6380 instead of the 2 supernova engines, this allows to me to have over 7k cargo with mobility in the 70's still. you could have more mobility even if you replace the 2 outer engines too, but i like how they look.
Cool ship, but it’s missing a few things:
1. bed (XP buff)
2. Cooking station/galley (cook for food buffs or well fed bonus if using survival mechanics)
3. Beds for crew, bathroom (for RP)
You could use the Hab decoration mechanics to add beds and a cooking station to your existing habs if you didn’t want to add or change habs, if you wanted to.
Love this build, very Klingon warbird-esque. It'd be fun to see how close you could come to this using the Star Eagle starter ship, that way you could just upgrade along the way.
I was thinking the Xwing lol
COST - Having built 04AM's ship from scratch (thanks for the tutorial), I can confirm that building this Mk.I ship from scratch (excluding the starter ship), is around 280k.
All the parts are available from a combination of New Atlantis and Porrima III, although neither shipyard have all the parts by themselves. For info, I was level 38 when I built the ship, and had Commerce level 3, which would probably have reduced the cost of the build.
I'm now working on getting to level 57, as that is a requirement for getting the SF40 Shear Flow Reactor needed for the Mk.II version of this ship.
Thanks for the info, this is what I was checking comments for. Also, why do you need to be level 57 to get teh SF40 Shear Flow Reactor?
What starter ship do you use , the star eagle?
I have an endgame bounty hunter ship. I make sure that both the Bay and the Docker attach to either a captains quarters or an all in one with a nav console (nova galactic all in one a). The nav console is very handy, because it allows you to fast travel with no loading screens while you are encumbered. So because every way in has a nav console right in front it is super easy for me to travel around with an entire arsenal in my inventory. Also nice to have a bed right there, and that hab is usually the only part of my ship I ever see unless im roleplaying.
You don't need a nav console. You can just open the starmap from your menu screen and travel that way.
@@Galiant2010 oof I played over a hundred hours and didn't realize until your comment. But yeah I guess that's true. But I still like the navy console I guess I'm just role-playing
@@Galiant2010 but it's really nice to have a bed right when you enter so you can heal from boarding. When I board a big ship sometimes I dash back to my ship to use a Bed
I really like this idea. The habs with both with bed & nav table. Great idea. Will need a bottom docker I think tho, a slim?
I know we can tab travel once inside a hatch. That’s my usual mode. But I like the +1 role play of doing it via the nav table.
Even though I’m carrying tens of thousands of Kg of crafted goods to sell… lol. I am building linked storage into defensive walls around my fave crafting base, so I can dump all resources there instead of my ships. But I still haul the comm units away on person to sell in neon core.
Not sure we can place 2 Captain quarters but I prefer to isolate mine up high behind a hatch, so I don’t wake up from “sleeping with” my wife to find Sam & his daughter chatting right there… doh.
the free star ranger ship is a fantastic ship if you can't afford to buy one. I earned it through the quests, brought the wings in to the main body, and reduced extra rooms to increase maneuverability. its size was very small and I never lost a fight in it. I put a lot into weapons and shield. it was capable of 27LY of travel, and I never ran out of storage
I was looking to modify my star eagle, your configuration is perfect for my needs thanks for this video is really useful.
Nice ship but not as efficient as it could be.
You are correct with fuel, but no issue to even go less.
1600 shield is pointless, the 1500 is way less mass and far more efficient.
Yes early game, 5000 plus cargo is a must especially if you are in ship combat or boarding.
If using a 2 or 3 level ship, the double level cockpit with stairs is the most efficient as it allows no use for 1x1 connection halls and it's possible to build without any ladders.
Shielded cargo is very mass heavy.
As long as a player sells contraband, only one of the smallest is required.
The contraband pirate missions are not worth the reward, only those require large shielded cargo , 390 units...again pointless because selling guns makes the most profit , any contraband you find on ships easily fit in the single smallest shielded cargo. Use pirate base equipment signal jammer for 89% evade ship scanning on your cargo searches.
Pirates have the best three equipment for target locking as well. Those 3 are must have items on any ship .
Landing gear.
The large hope 55 are beasts and super cool VTOL.
More thrust, less mass
Your aim for that size cargo is 61 to 70 mobility.
There are better options for engines.
To seriously pump up your mobility, try the highest manoeuvre rated 8500 ones .
In my testing though, you can still kill anything in game on normal with even a 30 manoeuvre rating as long as you have targeting systems skill.
Remove shields then EM enemy weapons, missiles on adds. Board the highest rated Roman numeral enemy ship , III being the best ones.
I'm 170 hours in game, level 58-60 unlocks the best modules.
I tell everyone, fly to level 60-75 area, try to capture a 40 rated reactor enemy ship. Use this as your base. Preferably a Hyena III as it's parts are also very cool.
You save hundreds of thousands on build cost.
Please use white building parts in builder when showing builds, it's much easier to see the detail, cheers
Lol, I was gonna say pretty much ALL of this. I've seen a lot of "ultimate" ship builds, and sadly this is not one of them.
I've found the best engines for maneuverability to be some of the smaller ones, actually. They have a lower maneuvering thrust stat, but because they have a much lower mass and only use 2 power each you can put more of them totaling more thrust per mass per power.
@@Galiant2010 you are way down on manoeuvrability.
With 6000 cargo, it's possible to have 60-65 with not even the best engines.
You are in the 40's
That's what I get with 8-10K cargo
That shield you use is too much mass.
Gotta tweak your mass more.
1600 shield is a trap, so is shielded cargo unless you are a pirate/smuggler
@@Nzchimeran I'm not in the 40s, I'm not the video creator.
My ships have 90-100 mobility, currently I have 96. With 2k cargo space, including some of that being shielded, and with the 1600 shield, and 12 weapons and a full 8 crew slots. I don't need any more cargo space. And my maneuverability is basically maxed out, and my top speed is 150.
Cargo space is the real trap. There's no need to buy into having so much.
oh right. Yes cargo huge trap, my issue is all the stuff that fills it when you sell captured ships, and that vendors dont have enough money to buy it all. Also need a "sell all miscellaneous " button so badly. Still , a very good game, lets hope they drop an update soon. @@Galiant2010
Put the dock on top. I have a very similar build with the dock on top, chose better engines and reactor. I have more cargo, 99 mobility, 150 top speed, and way more weapons I built off of the mantis.
Awesome build, this has become my main ship. I love how you did it and I interpreted it slightly differently to make it all one level and put habs on the wings while keeping relatively the same design.
Having watched 15 consecutive build videos, congratulations being the only one that isn't BORING to listen to :)
Oh man that last guy, 5 mins in it's still the goddamn intro lol.
Subbed, gonna watch the rest now bro!
LOL would not call this an ultimate ship build, but I realize youtubers need something to pull in the views.... and def not a bad ship. Will thumbs up your vid. I also LOVE the ship building in this game. Can not wait for modders or bethesda to expand on it... I want more parts to play with! Benchmark I've been using to test out each ship is to jump to (don't want to spoil anything for anyone still not there) that system with the pirate space station ... They all dead ... got an ultimate ship... or at least a keeper... I blow up or have to leave... then I go back and tinker some more or just keep it in the garage as a collectable
I've built a heavy cruiser with 8 crew capacity, 26k cargo, workshop, science lab, 1600 shields & insane dps... makes your's look really tame tbh.
I also have a small fighter that cruises at 214, boosts to over 1,000 & turns stupid quick
you should post a shopping list for all the parts.
Great video and ship design…. I’ve finally figured out how to builds ships that I don’t get lost in and loved your simple approach! The only suggest is for future builds make the parts a lighter color as it made it difficult to see with everything black.
Thank you for taking the time to break this down...
I've been using the claymore..if I can redesign it with a front entry and armory like this it might hunt...
The ship looks so sick.
I am so new to ship building, I have no idea how to get all of those part! lol this looks incredibly fun, wish it was in a list form and based on location. Also wouldn’t mind seeing you go from place to place to acquire it all, but the walkthrough/layout was super awesome man, thanks!
Cheers for the video. I can see you've put the hours in to make this awesome craft. I've built mind and it's say oversized and say overpowered. It's got 8000 cargo and it's looks like a scorpion with it 10 landing years when it's landed. But I just get lost when I'm improving or upgrading this monster. It so huge it hangs over the landing bays.
Two significant problems with this design:
1) You can replace all 4 of these engines at level 36 with White Dwarf 3030 Engines. This will produce 16,400 more thrust for 580 less Mass. This will cause your Top Speed to increase to 150 from your current 130, and with the increased thrust and lower mass, your Mobility will increase substantially.
2) With the HABs you have installed, there is no bed aboard ship. This will make you lose out on the +10% XP bonus.
Finally, a non-problem, problem: remember that the 'rule-of-cool' is your enemy in good ship design. The more mass you add in order to make your ship look good is going to make you less capable during combat and transport missions.
I think 3015 is better, only is you need to unlock rank 4. It gives top speed 180 if only being paired with the same engine, and not mix.
@@RandomZeroGravitywoah I’m about to go check that out right now
@@RandomZeroGravity I tried to stay within the limitations O4AM set out in this vid. That was Level 36 and SD3. Actually, I would expect most crafting-focused players would have SD4 by level 30 so it would be no problem. But I tried to abide by the parameters and limitations set forth in the video.
This information is incorrect. There's a few things people need to know about engines and what you've said here is wrong and will result in issue with their builds. First, top speed is NOT DETERMINED BY THRUST AND MASS. This is something I see repeated over and over again and it's absolutely false. The determining factor in top speed is based entirely on your chosen engines. That's it. By default Class A engines cap at 150, B cap at 140, and C cap at 130 NO MATTER WHAT YOUR MASS IS. There are special engines that will break these rules, but they are specific to that engine. For instance, the White Dwarf 3015 is a Class A that grants 180 as the top speed.
What is impacted by Mass is your maneuverability, and your suggestion will result in LESS maneuverability because you gain thrust but lose maneuvering thrust, the second thrust stat on the engine. Their engines are worth roughly 16 maneuverability for my current build and your engines are only worth 15, meaning I would lose 4 maneuverability changing to your build. And Maneuverability > generic thrust.
The actual main issue is his cargo size. He has loaded up SO MUCH cargo he's exploded the mass of his ship. The single largest contributor to mass for any ship is their cargo size. Going over roughly 3000 cargo is essentially impossible without sacrificing a ton of maneuverability. My current endgame ship is sitting on 3080 cargo with enough shielded combined with two jammers to max out scanning avoidance even with a massive contraband inventory.
Another situation is fuel. Fuel is a weird system and you need very little, he's not optimizing his mass for fuel, but really the difference is likely 1-2 maneuverability at best, so likely not that big a deal.
As for "rule of cool" structural pieces are 5 mass per, so if adding them is tanking your maneuverability it's not the rule of cool hurting your ship, it's that you've loaded up too much other crap on the ship. If you're at the point where 5 mass changes the Maneuverability you've already made mistakes elsewhere, because optimizing the engines (which is the SAE-5k engine line, 140 max speed with the best maneuvering thrust to mass ratio) and managing cargo without going overboard is going to do far more for you, because that's where all your mass is.
It’s a lovely looking ship, also seems to handle itself very well
3:40 clearly another reason why Sarah is the best companion :)
hey 04AM. i just want to thank you for spending so much time on this build for us, even with the headaches that came from it 🤣
your build was a great ship for me because i hate ship combat (i just hate flying things in general, except for birds) and i didnt wanna get all angry at myself for sucking at it (i dont but i tend to put the blame on myself and not the ship im using) im like lvl 442 and have been playing for a long ass time, so the ship building went insanely smooth and i had no problems with it, i even made my own variants of it! with different parts and such to make the 04-Vengeance (or is I named mine "The Ooga-Booga Machine" because its terrifying) the best i could, of course i give credit to you for giving me such a awesome base ship to use in my own building style. as for the Stroud habs i was gonna say use hopetech they're much cleaner but you already figured that out. anyways, thanks for activating my creative side again!
signed,
Nightstalker
Easily one of the nicest ship builds on the Tube that isn’t outlandishly complicated layout/parts wise. Very strong and looks the part too.
I will second the commenter who said it’s missing a bed and would add that it lacks end game jump range but that could be remedied by getting your Astrodynamics skill to lvl 3.
Overall: Clean, simple, efficient & powerful. Very well done! I’m past lvl 70 and haven’t built a ship yet but I just might copy this one ;)
Thanks! I have an update video with 2x performance, double crew size, mobility, bed etc!
@@04AMofficial damn, I wasn’t asking for that much ;P lol Thx a lot, I’m gonna go have a look!
I don't know if this is a known thing, but you if you do it just right there is a large cargo hold that you can get to flip upside down. So, you can cover most of the fuel tanks and shield generators with it, if you want a sleek/clean look
A very nice design. I think this is what my Star Eagle will look like.
It looks like a modified version of the Star Eagle from the Freestar Collective Ranger questline. It looks good though.
Awesome ship! Ship building is something that I am very much not good at as I get confused where to go for what. You make it look easy of course! Would love to build this for myself but I honestly don't even know where to start. But nice job!
Your design inspired me to build my own variant of your ship. Not every item was available, im level 50, but seems that a couple of items were different or had slight variations on their version numbers, but I got 99% of the stuff.
I did make some changes though, too much cargo weighed the whole thing down, im not really a cargo person, so reduced it by half and reduced the mass by 1/3 which maxed out manoeuvrability to 100. I also changed the engines as I didnt like two giant batteries sticking out of the back (considering how much you see of it).
I did use two mods, one mod was to change the pov to a much better distance for the ship and the ship parts mod.
You still need to be levelled and certified in all 3 departments to be able to use the parts though. I just got fed up with running to each system for 1 part at a time. Makes building much more fun. I really liked your design, it inspired me to make my own from scratch. Wish we could save them as blueprints.
Totally agree those mods are QOL improvements and should be part of the game, thanks for the kind words and gl with the ship!
@@04AMofficialI have had quite some fun with it, its easier to board ships too, I never really used Em weapons, so being able to have them at hand helps too. I have made a few refinements to the design, I swapped out the science lab and workshop for habitat modules as I dont really need them. I just craft back at the lodge. It looks nicer too. The original design had no bed space for my crew. (despite jumpseats), so I swapped them out. That is about the only change I made after I test flew the ship for a couple ok hours. There is actually room if I want to put the workshop back as I removed two of the structural landing gear (too many). But I prefer to keep it simple (in terms of navigation around the habs). Thanks for the inspiration.
Excellent guide. Very easy to follow. Nice work! Thanks
I love how this build looks, however its not enough cargo without maxxing out the payload skill, at least in my case XD
I've been watching soooo many shipbuild videos and alway "hmm intressting but no", this one im actually gonna build right now.
Good jobb, only crític i have is the cockpit, not sure i love that long neck :)
Anyways, good jobb, about to test this baby out right now!
The Vanguard Obliterator and the PBO-175 have better DPS than the Obliterator that you went with along with requiring less power. This lets you stack more for more damage.
This build does give me some ideas. My goal is to create a ship like what you have but with max speed and mobility as well.
Modify the Star Eagle. You'll have to compromise a bit on cargo space, but otherwise it's really easy to turn it into a 150 speed / 100 mobility ship with a similar aesthetic, and it's only Class A so you can build & fly it in the early game with no skill investment required.
@@Nate123318 I just modified the Razorleaf as my early game ship. I've since created a 180 speed (280 with crew) ship with 100 mobility. It uses six vanguard obliterators and four PBO-175 which can delete anything within a few seconds. The third slot is for three PBO-100 turrets that destroy most lower level ships before I even get a chance to directly attack them. The shield is a 1450 one which is more than enough as the extra weight needed to get at most 150 more isn't worth it.
Awesome ship i made one i am at level 102 but for some reason i could not get the same reactor and jump drive i will be using this ship all the time thanks for the video may be it is because I am playing the game on an X Box one
Great build! I like the sleek design, Stroud & Eklund definitely has my favorite look for ships so far.
Glad you like it! Has a lot of Nova pieces as well though, I think they blend well together ^^
Yeah, but in my experience so far, they also tend to be the heaviest, at least for structural parts (lots of 8's and 10's where most others are 2's, 3's, and 5's). Not a complaint per se, but if you're looking for lighter, faster ships, you might have to forgo Stroud-Eklund, especially if you're sticking with A-class parts.
the unfortunate thing is all the companies that LOOK good have shitty parts. And all the companies that have good parts look bad.
Stroud/Eklund and Hopetech look fantastic, but they have terrible parts when it comes to making your ship not look like a cube.
Taiyo has pretty rounded edges, but all of their parts are hyper specific use.
Deimos doesn't look super great, but got the best range of parts for any build.
Nova has really nice parts, but it's HABS are hideous.
building without using at least 2 companies is a pain in the ass.
@@dokuujin1851 Something I've noticed is that none of the ships you can buy seem to have only one sole manufacturer, so this would seem to be a problem in-universe too. lol
Still holding out for DLC parts. D-rank, perhaps?
I actually like Nova for the retro look. I used it almost exclusively to remake the Wanderwell into a cargo hauler.
Nice ship, the only thing I see you're missing is a bed to get your rested bonus before venturing out.
Just replace the armory module with a captain’s quarters module. He said so himself. You will have a bed as you enter.
@@buffywasright I want my armory though lol
The armory is still ffing broken.
@geertcrommentuijn I haven't had any problems. Apparently certain ships did and they supposedly fixed it.
@@geertcrommentuijnis that why I can't store any weapons in any of the cases on the razor leaf?
Like it alot - my layout even though my ship looks different is very similar but I had a fear of numbers decreasing (lol) so wanted to keep my speed at 150 and mobility near 100 so didnt place near as much cargo or larger reactor on my ship which is class B
thanks man, i didnt do ship like that but it helped me a lot to understand how it works and how make my ship smaller, studier, and with more weapons :)
@circleofowls said iit well - "It'd be fun to see how close you could come to this using the Star Eagle starter ship, that way you could just upgrade along the way." I would love to see that too - as the startership has so much already - but want max storage (close to 3600 or more) and 6 crew.
And Thanks for a great presentation and going slow enough for us new builders to see what it is you are doing!
Yea I only recently discovered that spaceship, its crazy how similar it looks while I never found it before! I think that upgrade makes is super easy actually (never did any story missions xD)
Very nice ship. Looks like the Mirage from cartoon, Silverhawks. So cool!
I still like to have a bed to heal/XP boost, as well as for role playing purposes in a home ship, but great build.
Just switch out the Armory or wait for my update video with an extra hab in the design which I decided to start working on already!
oh, cant wait!@@04AMofficial
@@04AMofficialBro, you need to make this for level 60 and above, a lot of us are there already and can’t build this anymore 😢
I wish you could get crew to fly the ship. I want a full bridge of crew and i want that feeling you get in rust or minecraft when it's night and time to craft. Step into the workshop and start working, then get called up by the crew because something is approaching. I want to feel like piccard being called to respond.
I wish all ship-building videos were this concise, efficient and easy-to-follow. Thanks so much!
Quick question: from absolute scratch, what's the cost of this ship?
I too would like to know the cost of the ship
Same
He mentions in another reply around 240K
Super easy way to gain mobility and keep the design feel is to replace the Nova engines with two SAE-5220, and place a Stroud Cowling 1LA on top of it. This gives you the exact same attachment points, while offering better mobility and lower mass. I did however decide to use this as a framework for my new B class build at engame, planning to have one ship of every class maximizing the best of what I can do with it. I think overall if you want good mobility with large cargo B is the way to go, but you have to sacrifice the best shield in the game for it. Fortunately the main benefit of the class C ships right now appears to be the shield strength at endgame, since class b gets higher speed, similar hull value, better mass management, and a lot of the B class weapons and even some A class weapons are neck and neck with the C class options.
You can have class C weapons if you install a class C power plant. However nothing prevents you from using class B or A parts on your ship, despite technically being a class C ship. My own (class C) ship for instance uses class A engines for class A speed and mobility (albeit low cargo).
@@panpiper correct but the reactors themselves have differences. I am mainly talking about the benefits of the reactors. If you have access to all parts, and you're already using the class B and class A parts, the class B reactor provides a much better mass benefit.
The primary reason to run a class C reactor is 1 extra energy for systems, Class C turrets IF you have turrets unlocked, and the potential for higher shielding.
So far it seems that 4x 3 energy weapons performs slightly better than 3x 4 energy weapons.
Overall the balance in the parts seems haphazard at best.
My friend, excellent work!!!
You can make adjustments for play style as needed, and the cargo space!! ( I'm a hoarder )
Will MOST DEFINITELY BUILD!
You just added a SUB!!
Im a horder aswell, but think this is the perfect size of cargo for every day run, you can have a designated cargo ship for when you need for outpost or the like.
Just custimize ship to select the new one, and you got a full cargoship on the side
This is the exact type of game where it should be possible to browse a community marketplace (like The Sims) to download ships others have made.
Saw this ship in one of your ship stealing videos. Was hoping there was a build video of it, and here it is 😂👍🏼
I made ANOTHER video for it with some useful tips and tricks, including a 30K credit budget build :D
Great Ship, well crafted. Definitely going to try it out. Thanks, keep up the great work. D
Very sleek design and effective ship killer...…great video with good instructions on how to build one.
That ship is gorgeous
Excellent build. I like the styling. Especially considering what it includes. Hardly a compromise. Can i ask what the ball park cost was? I don't recall hearing it in the vid. To the nearest 100k would be a help
every part except for the reactor and the ng-15 landing gear is available in an outpost landing pad. so keep in mind you’ll need to do a couple tweaks and spend a few extra credits until you can get those on.
so with those tweaks, at level 3 commerce, it costed me _240,000_ credits (which is actually super cheap, especially compared to store-bought ships.)
if ur ship is at under 60 mobility, use turrets. Instead of slapping more weapons on it that run at a 3rd of of power, less weapons but full power to them. Also, you have 4 crew stations, your weapons alone are taking those up. meaning you do not have crew to staff shield, power and engines. u need to up crew stations to be on pair what you need. try to stay below 8 which is the max crew number u can have (perks required.).
the atlas 270 do 277 pts of dmg, they are lower in number but much higher in dmg.
u dont need 4 EMPs, 1 or 2 is enough. u only board one ship out of every fight anyhow.
At 11:50 you made the mistakes to rerout power from shields. 1 bar of a shield that needs 12 bars, means you run run 10% shield. so if it has 1600 pts, 10% of that is what u get. a shield with 12 bars means stack 12 or ur shield is not at the advertised 1600 pts.
running ur engines at 3 bars = 30% for u use all 12 due to 4 engines. and who goes slow, gets hammered.
Really cool ship bro! Think I'm gonna make the same one for myself. Thank you for sharing! Great work!
My pleasure!
Much easier if you just do the Kepler R quest and mod that ship. I modded the Kepler R ship to make it legendary (nearly 10k cargo capacity - a real godsend for collectors of crap), all workbenches and armory, first two weapons max'd out (both 3k range, one is auto turret - I like to aim the other) and missiles are so so (damn reactor limitation - have all bars on reactor), 1.8k shields, not the longest jump range but close. The ship is a beast, nothing can touch it. For fun took down the whole UC fleet over Alpha Centauri as a test. The only bad thing is not having a direct route to the cockpit, but you don't need it when you can go directly to cockpit by hitting R on the entrance hatch. All ships I steal I sell.
Thank your for the time you put into this! I will give this a go when my credits have recuperated 😂
Damn, I love those ship building videos.
I'm definitely getting Klingon bird-of-prey vibes from this thing especially when looking at it from the front or rear directly LOL.
Hehe :D
Looks like a Star Eagle
Oh wow, thats crazy! I litterally never saw that ship yet there are many similarities!
Beyond EPIC! Totally FRAKKING cool! I love THIS Hands down! Great vid, keep up the good work!
while dumping cargo to reduce mass,
also swap out class C engines with Class A 3015's that give a much higher top speed.
Great Video! I was wondering what skills do you recommend in order to build this ship?
Very well done sir. Made a few tweaks of my own as far as engines and dropping cargo. Brought mobility up 100. Quite similar to a build I did yesterday.
Well played!
@04AMofficial the only downside is the flow isn't as smooth aesthetically. Been mulling over how to keep the mobility and still keep a smooth flow.
Also, for some reason it says the link to your discord is invalid. Would love to post photos the tweaks I've done and get feedback on those adjustments as well as other builds I intend to do
Question. Why not place the docking port just off of the cockpit? That is if you're able to. But I will say this: less is more, and you have done a terrific job implementing that theory.
Great looking ship almost looks like a warship and similar t v series used to be on😮
Beautiful AND deadly. My favorite combination.
Neh. The best weapon combination in my opinion is the pulse laser + railgun, the best there is at your level with energy consumption 3. Their huge advantage is that they have a capacitor that allows you to fire a dozen shots even with one stick of energy. By installing four of these, you will get an insane power of shots, and the third weapon system can be either rockets (also 4 of 3 energy, since they have this capacitor) or jammers. I've found this to be the perfect balance of firepower so far.
That was the best ship guide I’ve seen so far. I loved the pacing, the descriptions, and the layout. Definitely subscribing.
Whoa, absolutely awesome. I'm going to try this build, no two ways about it. Thank you so much for the guide! -- And yes, of course I will love to se more of your ship builds. I reckon you've made the ones you were going to make by now, it's been 4 months. But I'm going to look them up. 😊
PS. What is Ballast Shielded Cargo Hold? Where do you buy those?
Exactly what I was looking for. Amazing build. Thank you for this 💯
Love balance of this build. Good all-around ship. Keep the builds coming. Thanks.
Daymn what an aweome ship. Great job and nice video. Yeh keep making ships n stuff.
Great! Named mine the Enigmatic Stardust Trailblazer
Thanks for the vid. Would like to see an update for lvl 60 gear. Some of those parts are so big and also need more landing gear
Gotta love the high damage missile launchers
This is one of the better ship builds I’ve seen. Good job!
I am having trouble finding all these parts. Is there perhaps a list on a spreadsheet somewhere of what parts were used and where they were bought?
this is exacly what i was looking for has a ship with minimum important set up, good weaponery, efficent to go in and out, alots of cargo capacity and be able to contrabande acceptable qty, small negatif point small maneauvrability but he can t get it all choose cargo so it is fine with me.. Good looks always a delight to look at it. in space and battle. did make it tonight and still testing where i can't go for now all good. realy a good work and planning on this ship. 💯 all the way you made my day. good work and hope to see more ps. did switch ajustement for the captain quater went for a deluxe 🤣 for the 2 other kept armory and prodution table. keep up man looking ofrwed to get more from you. wil tell friend about you see ya in space.
I made an absolute atrocity of a ship out of the silent runner you can buy from hopetech. 6,990 cargo (most important to me), 10 crew (why is 10 even an option when the skill maxes at 8), 87 mobility, and 25 LY jump. I’m only level 40 so I hope the level 60 upgrades get me to 30 LY jump as that’s all I can complain about.
Looks nice but the low mobility is tough.
That's what I thought. It's super cool, but I don't know how I'd feel about 41 mobility. I'll probably build it over a ship I steal and test it out to see.
Great looking ship, but I didn't see a bed. Probably easily resolved by swapping the armor or maybe a storage bay with a hab. Thanks for a great video!
Update inc!
About how much credits are needed to fully build the 04?
My ship is now class C but it is nasty AF, I may do a video of that and the class A I am working too. I turned the Razorleaf into an Unstoppable killing machine with great cargo, long range, great fuel, all the things
Nice ship! It reminds me of a Klingon inspiration
Great ship! Though if you use a certain docker (I forget the name but something tells me it’s nova) it’ll actually be an inaccessible 1x1 room, so instead of having a hole in your floor it’d be like having another bay, but it’s just the docker
i like how the build is also chest glitch friendly (nova and stroud lol)
