Fast Fighter Ship Build?
Heavy Cargo Hauler Build?
Mission Guide for ship unlocks?
Any other ideas, please feel free to drop them here and I’ll do my best to meet demand.
Thank you all for your unexpected support!
Would love to see a real fast and sleek A or B class fighter and maybe an extra heavy hauler like even 20-40 tons capacity that doesn't look ugly af
@@schnitzelUSB excellent, thank you! The hauler is a tall order but I am already working on a design for that. People do seem to love their high cargo capacity…
@@WizeOldWizard appreciate it a lot! And thanks for your work so far and everything that is in the pipeline! I'm building endgame manufacturing outposts and I'm really sick of carrying 100 tons + on my back (building materials and recurces to set up outposts) 😂
@@schnitzelUSB i’ll see if I can come up with an attractive solution for that, as your ship’s cargo is accessible from any distance when building outposts. Stay tuned!
How about a heavy destroyer ship. Lots of cargo, shields, armor, and all automated turrets.
If you arrange your ship with a Nova captain's quarters in the rear you can put a porthole on the back and the comfy chair in the sitting room will face the porthole.
Or put in a head (Navy toilet slang 😁) an take a moment 😊
I just wanted to say that please don't change anything with the way you create these videos. They're amazing! - Listened to all three of your videos yesterday and it's so relaxing and informative. Thank you, Wize Old Wizard!
I intend to maintain the style, but I do really want to improve the quality. Thanks for the feedback and support!
Fun fact: The ratio of mass to maneuvering thrust is 1 to 12.35 in order to maintain a max mobility of 100.
Nice! I’ll have to keep that in mind.
I was one of the people who commented on the SAL 6830 being left out and the lack of need of shielded cargo holds. Same goes for the jammer. Once you lose the shielded cargo, there is no need for a jammer any more. So to everyone who found this video even more informational than the original, you are welcome!
Hands down one of the best designs I have seen in the game so far. It checks all the boxes as far as I'm concerned. Maneuverability, speed, reactor power, grav jumping, looks, and interior pathway design. Just don't ignore key ship skills under "science". Aneutronic Fusion give you more power from your reactor. And by level 60 you can pretty much forget about having to manage energy allocation to your systems. But you have to put some points into Science to unlock this skill. Another key one is "Astrodynamics". You can jump further. This is crucial in early game when your grav drives aren't the best or you run with a heavy ship. (You can tell your ship is heavy simply by the loss of speed. Class A engines for example should allow you 130 max speed. Less than that and you are "heavy" ship.
And of course it goes without saying that under "tech" you have to fully unlock Piloting and Starship Design. Piloting is easy to level. Just do the simulator repeatedly once you unlock the Vanguard questline. Starship Design just goes with the territory.
I've probably dumped close to a million credits into my design and the more I experiment, the more I lean towards a similar design to what he has done. Because unless you want to fly a flying brick, you need wings that are functional and can take some of the design demands off the main trunk of the ship.
Just to be clear, to duplicate his results you really need to have come close to beating key questlines in the game and be a high level 60 to unlock all the pieces.
Can you capture Class B and Class C ships in this game? Absolutely you can. But every ship (outside of UC military) I have captured has been poor at best. They might give you access to Class B and C ships early but what is on them isn't even worth keeping. In many cases they function worse than their Class A counter parts.
Post edit: His cargo capacity is at 6880. That should be people's target by end game. If you are going to do any crafting and research you need access to resources and the one place you can always access when doing it is your home ship. So no matter what you intend to do with your ship, you need it to also play the role of freighter. Yes, you need a jack of all trades kind of ship. Which this ship design does very well.
Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. Let’s make a few things clear though:
I would highly recommend keeping at least one shielded cargo and a scan jammer on your ship at all times. Contraband is very valuable and at the end of the day, your ship is lacking function without them.
6880 is ROUGHLY the maximum cargo capacity you can achieve with the Basilisk. Of course this number can vary if you save some weight in other places, but that is not the capacity I end with.
For me personally, I only need about 6k total cargo, which means the ship only needs 4k total cargo because I now have rank 4 payloads.
Thanks for the extra detail you’ve provided for everyone!
Class A has a top speed of 150, B is 140, C is 130.
@@ADrunkDillweed yes, but these stats do not dictate your top speed while boosting, or your acceleration rate.
Also with the right skills and crew, your Class C can reach over 200 normal top speed...
@@ADrunkDillweed Actually no. One and only Class C engine in the game has a max speed of 180. It is the SAL 6830. It also has a max power of 2 allowing for six engines total. This particular engine is quest locked. You have to complete a quest that is part of the main quest line and achieve a very specific outcome to even get it offered. I also believe it becomes available at only one location. Neon.
I first gained access to this engine at level 39 so I don't even think it has a level requirement. Just a quest restriction.
Many of the TH-cam builders use this very engine in their builds because it allows for some very large construction options.
I run a pretty heavy ship but I can confirm with six of these engines I have a max speed of over 160.
Now with that said, these engines come with a massive price tag. 70k credits each. So just for the engines you are looking at needing 420k credits.
2 months later. No one beats this ship design... I love the brig + living 2x2. And this is the only design that have both and no stressing ladders.
Very kind words, but you’ve also brought up my biggest problem as well: I haven’t been able to beat it either!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for creating the Basilisk, I built the standard version last night and it SLAPS! I can not wait to make the optimizations on it tonight, you have created a truly unique and glorious ship. So much so that I have seen videos coming up on my feed of people making tweaks and their own optimizations. I think before Year end your ship will be as legendary as the Enterprise!
Your ship build tutorial is very detailed.
Awesome job.
Man those videos are so satisfying, the time stamps, the smooth voice, well explained. Perfect.
Much appreciated, thanks for watching!
AmazingA Fantastically amazing. I appreciate you taking the time to share your build (it deletes EVERYTHING) insights into ship building. Not only have I built your ship, but I've been inspired to start tinkering with my own designs. You've lit a fire as the saying goes. Thanks again and SUBSCRIBED!
Thank you good sir! I’m cookin up some more content as we speak!
This is very professionally done, thank you for your time in putting this build together.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Just built this today and it is a beast
Thank for the excellent build guide on this ship
Thanks for watching, glad you dig it!
I love the Basilisk. Mine is optimized with only 2 habitable decks to cut down on ladders and hunting around for crew. This is a great ship, thanks for your awesome videos.
Beast of a build! Keep it up.
I don’t think I can top the all-around capability of this one, but I have more planned, thank you!
I like it. Will definitely have to watch the first one build video.
The video and the comments were very helpful. I knew there had to be some "mathing" involved but I was too lazy to work it out. This helped. I now understand why I have two characters both using identically modified Ghost IVs, except, one has more mass because I added Science Hab and Research Stations. The heavier one is actually much better in battle. Now I know what to be thinking about when I do my next build.
Watched the first video and came straight to this one. Immediately went about selling off all the ships in my stable to get the credits to build this! Excellent content, you've got a new sub.
This.
Been using the Basilisk for a few days now.
Sold everything else except the Frontier and the Razorleaf (nostalgia purposes...)
Just last night did a ton of planet hops, boarded 11 ships and took on everything with not one death or even close call. (Serpentis system with difficulty set to very hard)
I've built a dozen or so ships and this one has become my favorite.
Thanks for taking the time to test the weight vs flight characteristics. Very helpful.
I second the notion of a heavy hauler.
You're in for a treat if you're interested in a hauler. I have an impressive ship in the works...
Thanks for watching and I'm glad the ship performs as well for you as it does for me!
We are very impressed with all the mods you've done so far. Keep up the good work.
Loved the history nugget! Excellent job!
Thank you! One of the few if not the only ship module in the game that has lore associated with it. The bridge that they used to test the first grav drive!
I finally finished my grind to level 60 today, built this ship, and I love it. Man what a difference compared to what I was using before. Thanks for the guide!
My pleasure, stoked that you dig it!
Yoo Thanks my man the ship hold freaking ten crew .. it’s amazing thank you again I’m a new sub forsure
Well changing items to improve mobility was my take away tip
Well, informative, relaxing and great fun too. Cheers Monsignor Wizard.
Also for anyone wondering, you need about 1 landing thrust (or whatever they label it) for about every 200 kg of mass. A ship of 800 mass would need at the very minimum 4 landing thrust spread between its landing gears.
The math ain’t mathin. At 3789 mass, my ship requires 10 landing gear with 1 thrust each. 3789/10 equals 378.9… I think 1 thrust can lift more than 200 mass, might be 400.
To find your Mobility Mass Limit ... Divide your Engines' Total Mobility by 12.35 ...
SAL-6830 ... 6x 8800 = 52,800 ... 52,800 / 12.35 = 4,274.29
I do not recommend mixing Normal and Shielded Cargo Hold's ...
@@WizeOldWizard Hmmmm... Most likely on a scale then. I've only made smaller A class ships and the formula I stated above applied to everything I made. The requirement must decrease as you get larger and larger.
@@honestinsincerity2270 that is possible, I just always go for the minimum the game requires. But I could do some testing and find out.
@@theethicsofliberty4642 this seems spot on, can you elaborate on mixing cargo? I’ve not had issues with that myself, always get a 90% pass right when being scanned using those two Ballast shielded cargos…
Updated and optimized basilisk!? IM BUILDING ONE! LETS ROCK!
Although focusing almost entierly on the estetics and looks of my ships, its always engaging watching someone with a stellar technical aspect, I learn a lot. Thanx Wizman!
Performance and design are of equal importance to me, inside and out. If a ship looks good but doesn’t perform well, then it may as well be a sculpture. Likewise, if a ship performs wonderfully but looks like a soggy turd, you won’t be proud and excited to get in the pilot’s seat and show the Settled Systems what you can do with it. I also take great care to lay out the interiors in a sensible way so that navigating the habs is easy.
Everything that I have built (except for the Slab) is the result of a balanced approach where all aspects of the ship have been considered. Unless there is a specific reason to ignore the looks or the interior layout, nothing is an afterthought.
Thanks for watching!
Well put! I dont know if its a really weird appraoch, but I usually start with the looks, then slowly build up the ship to the specs I want piece by piece and eventually end up with something that looks good and is functional as well. @@WizeOldWizard
@Hauerization whatever approach that works for you is the right one. For me, I visualize the ship before I even start building, then go about balancing engines and mass and cargo, experimenting with hab build order and how to achieve a sensible interior. My current ship has gone through three major revisions, and is a far cry from all of my previous builds. I need to get my outpost build out before the latest ship, but I can’t wait to get the Aegis out for you all to see.
thank you very much this video mostly that UC-Pirate fight in the end was really great one (had to watch it over 4 times :D, thanks for that. This ship, with these upgrades, is now really Beast in the space. More these kind videos please!
You're welcome! More on the way.
Great job, downloaded both vids
Looks sick dude. Will def try this build when I’m done exploring on my NG +10 full story run. Will,def have to check if I got that engine unlocked. Cheers.
Nice. Just finished your original full build guide. Im going to build the base tonight and will be making mods based on your tuning. Im building at levek 83 with everything unlocked so i should be in good shape.
You’ll definitely be in great shape at level 83. I hope you’re enjoying the build and I appreciate your support, thank you!
I enjoyed this content. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Wow that is really really nice.
Thanks for watching!
Damn man, that ship is great!! I will try to make it, I wish you could upload templates for starfield to make it easier, but I will just watch your video. Looks awesome!!
AT LEAST the ability to blueprint them for access in successive playthroughs.
Awesome video.
Dude the battle footage is insane with this bad boy
I’m level 38, haven’t really built a ship yet. Id hate to run into this thing haha
Dude! Welcome! Check out Aetos, perfect for your level and at 43 you can upgrade it significantly (Aetos II).
Oh and you should check out the Scythe for some mind-numbing combat prowess.
Thanks for watching!
Good stuff my boy
Thank you!
This is my favorite build.
Dang man thank you!
Something I noticed from your previous version of this ship and now this current version is that you can modify the two VERY LARGE structural pieces to either side and right behind the cockpit on the top that are 3x1 structural pieces.
You can remove these two pieces and replace them with either the curved or even the angular Cargo Hold pieces and add around 1000 cargo per 1x1 hold that you add.
Additionally, go to the Red Mile, or the Key if you have it available, and get the upward angular shielded cargo and line the underbelly around the landing gear with them for an upward curving-ish form. You MAY have to replace the landing gear before you do this, but if you get the Nova Tech landing gear from the moon IO, they actually have the best lift and there's a variant that has top as well as left and right anchors for stuff.
Finally, as for fuel, I find that two of the smaller fuel tanks provides more fuel than that great big monstrous one and you can plant it in the underbelly using the landing gear I suggested
Great ship I have made the original and love it, thanks great build
Awesome, I have more planned, thanks for your support!
I made this ship from your design and it is an amazing set up. Only thing I didn’t like was the second floor being split
Jesus....this thing DESTROYS. Love it!!
Thank you 🙏
Awesome 😎 build…👍🏻
Fair warning if you build this ship while using the Razorleaf as a base : there is apparently a bug with the Razorleaf where your shield skills bonuses as well as your crew skill bonuses are not taken into account. I had to rebuild this ship on another base to get rid of this issue.
No sh*t! All I’ve noticed is my shield bouncing from 3300 to 3600 depending on whether or not I’m in the ship. Gonna have to teat this out, as I know my speed bonuses are always there, but it’s hard to tell one way or the other with other crew bonuses. Thanks for the heads-up!
@@WizeOldWizard to be fair I'm not sure this is affecting everybody, and there are different reports on what the bug does (some on reddit claim the bug reduces their shields). For my part with the Razorleaf as a base I get the default shield rating of 1500 no matter what I do or who's on my crew.
If I run into this bug I'm gonna be fuckin pissed.
@@Rivv96 that sucks, I definitely don’t have that issue. I’ve also seen people say that having multiple crew with Shield Systems sometimes cancels out and sometimes is additive. Omari Hassan is best for Shield Systems.
@@honestinsincerity2270 same!
Great vIdeo. It is now my primary ship and looking to optimise it using this vid. Thanks so much. Also, Bethesda should've made more effort for a tutorial sequence for the ship builder
I’m considering a general build guide to make up for a lack of in-game one…
Hey I wanted to thank you for your build guide. The Basilisk is amazing. My version is a bit different but it has the same basic shape but with some different hab elements and layout. I used a no ladder build and put the docker on the top.
My pleasure, I hope to provide more inspiration in the future. Glad you were able to adjust it to your liking, thanks for watching!
How did you complete the no ladder build what habs /order
@albertcollins6317 if you’d like to achieve this, I have some suggestions for you but you’re going to have to fiddle with the builder a bit.
First things first, please give my Aetos build a watch. In that one I show how to use the attachment method on controller so that you can more easily control the placement of doors and ladders.
When you’re rebuilding the Basilisk with no ladders in mind, you’ll need to remove the lower engineering bay and replace the landing bay that I use with something that has a ladder-entry hatch.
Build your entire lower deck first, using the attachment method, and be sure to attach the bridge only after you’re happy with the layout of your lower deck. Once you attach the bridge, build your entire upper deck, again using the attachment method, starting from the upper hatch of the bridge.
The game still my want to place some ladders so that’s where your own fiddling and experimenting comes in.
Best of luck, thanks for watching!
I like your build better than others I’ve seen, mostly because of the habs you used. You definitely made the interior feel like a ship one would actually have to live in. Being a Navy Sub veteran, that bugged me on most of the ships. That and the hamster 🐹 maze that some are as well.
That is the way I was thinking about it, but coming from someone who has actual ship experience that’s saying something! I know next to nothing about submarines, and they’d be the closest thing we have in real life to the way Starfield depicts the interiors. Thanks for watching and for your feedback!
The Nova landing gear provides double the vertical thrust. I believe there is another that provides more as well.
This is insane. I'm only lvl 28 but here I was feeling cool with a modded Roanoke
Anything is cooler than a stock ship.
Those are some fun modifications to the original build. When I get past all the level restrictions I am looking forward to try this out. I really want to see how the auto turrrets would fair on this for rear arc fights until you can bring the front guns to bear on the target.
Actually, I tried that before I settled on three pilot weapon groups. When I replaced the rear turrets, I was much more efficient in combat, so I’ve stuck with it ever since. Now, if you build a version of it with more cargo and decrease mobility, turrets may become necessary. With full mobility though, I think turrets are a waste.
Thanks for watching!
your Basilisk built i try works wonders O.P
I can't wait to level up and get some bucks . I wanna build this! I know I will spend some time on it. I'm not too creative but I'm pretty good at following the directions. Tim Allen was wrong! LOL Good videos!
Let me know how it goes and what you think of the ship. Thank you for watching!
Definitely going to do this build later today.
I never used 3 slots of energy weapons.. Im stoked to rock that set up.
I enjoy the visuals of missiles so I often use one slot for them.. but This def looks worth leaving them out.
I was apprehensive about not having any missiles but they are so much slower and less consistent in their ability to make contact. I'll be using Particle Beams exclusively from now on. Their range is unbeatable.
@WizeOldWizard the way you were chewing through everything like nothing had me like 😳 whoa.
My brain tries to "balance" things out by tossing in different stuff but I just want to efficiently get the job done.
@@njrivetelite they really are effective weapons, partially because they don’t need max power for max dps.
I too try to balance things out, and have tried several different loadouts, but this one is by far the best in any situation.
That SAL 6830 is the best class C engine. Once venture to class C is not about speed anymore. It's about balancing cargo with mobility.
2 poseidon engine ship is better for fighting, under 1879 mass can be configure with best reactor, best grav drive, max shield 1600, 650 fuel 2k cargo, max mobility 100, max speed 130 and with only 8 power ticks instead of usual 12.
Divide your Engines' Total Mobility by 12.35 to find your Mobility Mass Limit .
SAL-6830 ... 6x 8800 = 52,800 ... 52,800 / 12.35 = 4,274.29
Nice math, let's do some more using 3 poseidons vs 6 Sal engines
Mass for building ship without engines 11600 x 3 / 12.35 - 3 x 334 = 1815 (poseidon) and 4275 - 330 x 6 = 2295 so
Carrying/hull gain (2295 - 1815) / 1815 = 0.26 or 26 %
Look at g force ratio or acceleration factor which main thrust over ship mass
34520 x 3 / (11600 × 3 / 12.35) = 0.2409 (poseidon) and 18000 x 6 / (8800 x 6 / 12.35) = 0.1656 (sal)
Acceleration gain (0.2409 - 0.1656) / 0.1656 = 0.45 or 45%
You gain 45%:in acceleration (get to white optimal speed faster and stay in boosted longer) with loss of 26% hall, that's better engine for class c fighter
Nope that would be the White Dwarf 3015. Also sam cole increase speed
@@RangerJ602 For class A & B yes, not for class C.
I have a similar build to this ship. I used the Star Eagle(the one you get from becoming a Ranger) as the base. I like the "Wings" layout. It's not 3 decks high like yours though. I'm going to have to look into those engines however. I've never used them.
Very nice build and tutorial. My Defiant is very similar though much more stripped down. For those who mentioned going to four SA 6830 engines, remember to do the math. The very first thing I was going to do when I got to level 60 was get these engines. To keep my ship from looking absolutely stupid, I would have to add a lot of structure (mass). I thought I could address this by only adding four of them. What I found was that in order to outperform the six SA-4330s I already had, I would need five of the 6830s. I decided not to make the change.
You’re right, fewer engines doesn’t mean the build will benefit, generally speaking.
Thanks for watching!
"Accidentally" built the optimized version bc I cheaped out a bit on said reactor and gravdrive, slapped the boy full with galleon cargos (11k with crew bonus, 9k in builder) and swapped the least powerful guns for 4 turrets 👌🏻
Idk if the bridge lore part was kind of a spoiler I skipped over it quickly.. might want to add a little warning there?
Anyway great video keep up the good work! See you at your next ship build
Nah no spoilers, just a little snippet of history about the bridge itself.
Wow. This thing rocks. Nimbly pimbly at its best! 🤣
Made it and absoooolutely love the original!!!
Did chuck a couple more tonnes on for fun 😁
Hoooo buddy, wait til you see what I’m uploading next…
I used your build and converted the Star Eagle using the great video. I did make a landing bay change, I used that wide mouth landing bay you get from Taiyo. You can get around using the ladder inside the ship. Once you board the ship via the ladder in the bay, you can go right up the stairs into the cockpit.
Very nice! No real need to keep the engineering bay, but I like to have it for realism. Ships this size should have an engineering room.
I do like that wide Hopetech landing bay, got a nice industrial cargo hauler feel.
The bay would fit a 4 wheel quad if they give us that option in 2024@@WizeOldWizard
@DrakeBliss duuuuuuude I fuckin HOPE!
I mean thinking logically, how else would they implement a ground vehicle, you know? You gotta be able to store it somewhere…
It would make planetary exploration SO much better and add a new dimension to the ship builder. I hope we aren’t let down…
It's actually insane how many views you've gotten on your very first uploads
It's nuts! IDK what I did right and it wasn't even my intention, but by god I could sure benefit from some extra income. Gives me a reason to keep making content.
BUT only 1% of my viewers are subscribed! I need to figure out how to fix that.
congrats on being a yt legend on your 2nd video 😆
Hahaha beginner’s luck. I’m just going to roll with it.
I wanted to keep the og mantis which i had proposed as my ship snatcher. Used the kepler instead. Built it over time and saved some credits here and there along the way. I actually want the spacers to fight me and not run! Lol
Damn good build though brother! I'm loving flying around in this thing! I made some adjustments but yours is the basis. Thanks!
For the record, I haven’t had them ‘run’, they tend to just turn blue after you wipe the first one. Still free to attack, which I normally do for the xp. Glad you like it!
It seems like they only run if you don't attack any of them after they turn blue. I've found that if you let the dialogue play out they'll jump away, otherwise they'll be kinda stuck, like you said. Luckily even if you go after them when they turn blue your companions wont get upset like they usually would for attacking a 'friendly' ship.
really made my turret stiff! thanks!
Hahahahahahahaha
27:00 there are also nova breaking engines on that first grav drive ship, and its huge engine looks like some of the supernova engines available in ship builder, except this one is bigger and doesn't have the stupid nostrils on the bottom there like the engines we can buy do. And nova radiators are present there as well.
Yeah man, it’s a cool ass ship. Whenever I use Nova parts it makes me feel like I’m building a classic car.
I'm definitely gonna try to build this even though I'm level 39... I'll build it as best as i can then upgrade as i go. Only thing is my poor razorleaf is my first ship that i customized and i have an emotional attachment to it... 😅
There’s absolutely no need to delete your Razorleaf with this, I only did it for the encounters. Another viewer suggested building this to replace the Frontier, as you can’t sell that ship anyway…
Lol too late I used my frontier as a base for my Rocinante... but it's all good I'm trying to steal a varuun prophecy III and anything else to make a base ship from... but my razorleaf is just collecting dust and I like to scare off pirates with it's curse... I really hope they increase the number of ships you can own at some point. 10 is way too low.
I use the Cabot bridge and make a 2 story build but make the lay out so there are no ladders except for the loading dock ladder. Can be done using Hope Tech hab spines and Hope Tech cross passages (or Nova cross passages) ... took inspiration from your first ship to do so.
I had the same idea. Details??
There's a video on here that explains it really well and if I can find it I will link it. The way you can make it work is if you use the hallways which are Hope Tech spines and Hope Tech passageways (or the Nova Galactic passageways) you can prevent ladders because the spines and hallways do not have attachment points on the top and bottom. The spines go north and south and the passageways go east and west so if you're smart with your layout you can still have access to all parts of your ship but only using the Cabot cockpit as your transfer from top to bottom. Also if you use Vasco on your ship he likes to clip through the floor and block the passages so I had to remove him from my crew.@@jackflash6377
@@jackflash6377 I deconstructed an Ecliptic Claymore to decide on the accessories, but you can achieve this with a result that looks VERY similar. Just have to layer everything right with the Hab Spines directly above or below your actual Habs.
If you create each floor of habs, then move them as a unit onto the cockpit, the layout will have no ladders. I think the 1x1 companionways always force a ladder, so they might have to be left out or staggered.
Beautiful ship mate!! Wish U could see the UC/MJOLNIR, my baby (yeah I'm all in with the United Colonies) some concepts of yours reminded me to my ship. Bridge to the front, side wings with engines... You should do videos with designs of your community! 😁 😁 😁
Thank you, I’d love to see the UC Mjolnir, post some photos somewhere or make a showcase video for youtube!
@@WizeOldWizardperhaps there is a way people can share their builds with you so you can showcase and react to them? Could be interesting. Anyway, I got a question for you. How can I have 6 engines too without the energy warning in the builder? I think I have all the necessary.
@@FlymanStereophonic the engines must have a max power requirement of 2. Some have three, and the rest have four. That’s the number that tells you how many of that engine you can attach and power.
@@WizeOldWizard thanks mate! 😁
Once you understand that any player can WALK while carrying 2000kg, class c is all about the guns. At least it was for me. My ship might look like an orcish war ship from 40k, but it hits very hard.
Exactly. You are a walking cargo hold. Cargo on a ship is just meaningless
You mean, once you discover you can still run forever so long as you aren't expecting to take damage during the trip, then powernap all your HP back in an hour.
@@OOZ662the flashing red and the heavy breathing as your character looks like he’s about to faint from carrying 5000kg of adaptive frames is honestly nauseating and knowing i have cargo space to put stuff away makes me smile peacefully
I just finished my version on this build tonight. I made it into a hunter killer.
Can you elaborate on that? Curious to know what weapons you use.
Sorry I just saw your question. I did a Beam weapon build. I used the disruptor auto turrets four disruptor beam weapons and for of the PB-300 particle beam weapons. That combination made it very deadly. The down side is that most of the time I can’t use targeting because the ships are already destroyed before I can get a lock on.
@@moblus12 did you watch the whole video and see what I use? You could be even deadlier… Also, if you’re at all interested in boarding you need to ditch the turrets, they’ll kill anything that you disable, they don’t care haha. I can disable a ship no problem with the weapons I use. Just food for thought, everyone has their preferences.
I have a different ship that I like to use for boarding. It has four emp weapons. I don’t remember which ones. When I do the boarding I turn off the turrets by reducing the power. The weapons that you have are also very deadly. I just really like to use the particle beam weapons. I just started ng10 so I am going be be experimenting with my builds some more. I just love the way your builds look. I like the clean lines. This has changed the way that I do my builds.
@@moblus12 I use the particle beams as well, that’s why I asked if you saw what I was using or not. The ones I’m using have the highest dps of all the particle beam type weapons.
The basilisk really should have been what stroud created if you got the best outcome. It should have ended in a joint venture and the use of diplomacy to work out a deal.
I would have preferred an option in that quest to have you design your preferred ship and then let the outcome be that you got that ship. For players who don’t grind for credits having a quest that let you design a dream ship would be ideal.

“About 100-ish on our speed”
Boy I’m dead 😂
A very accurate and controlled testing method 🥴
Seriously though I wish the ship would explode or have a chance to. Would’ve been more entertaining lol
Thanks for watching!
29:03 CONFIRMED YOU CAN Redesign the original Mantis Ship and it keeps the Spacers /NPC's thinking your newly Redesigned ship is the OG Mantis Ship...but with a few upgrades 😂🍻
Guess i got a date with the ship builder tonight! 😘
Just a few, they always panic and play pacifist. Pretty comical. Had one literally begging for his life one time, but didn’t hit record soon enough.
Those spacer you let go will come back later in Class C Hyenas shouting for payback 😂
One begged me to let him live and his argument was that he had 10 children. I asked him for all their names and he panicked, pretty comical encounter. Spaced him anyway xD
@@TeethedGlory 😂
Oh that is sweet. I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip!
So my math was off. I got to a max Jump range of 27LY but have 52k cargo instead of 55k. Could probably tweak some things to get to 55k cargo but I'm doing good for now. I can actually add 4 more Gallions and only drop down to 26LY jump range which handles most of the jumps in the game. For now I'm plenty happy with 52k cargo and my ship looking sick af.
That’s a CRAZY amount of cargo! What does your mobility stat drop to?

Wizard, can’t lie man, when I started watching your videos it killed me how monotone you were, but the content is golden.
NOW, with the growth you’re making, the joy in your voice is evident and it’s a pleasure to see you growing more comfortable with your audience. Keep it up man. Proud of you.
I value your honesty very much, and aside from overcoming my own lack of comfort level when recording, I hope this also improves a lot with the recording upgrades that I just made.
Thank you very much for the feedback! New content will be coming soon, I’ve got a lot of footage to edit!
Hey buddy, awesome build I plan on building something similar for my first boat. Just wondering if braking engines help with slowing the ship down or are they just for aesthetics
They are cosmetic, but they are damn cool cosmetics! Anything that is animated really gets me stoked.
use the landing gear at new homestead (i think) they are the only gear with 4 thrust, so you only need half as many
No, they look like ass.
"NG-20 Lander" with landing thrust 4 landing gear at Titan (Sol)- has 3 variants. Not the big-boy HopeTech gear. Not sure if you're just avoiding it for aesthetics.
Aesthetic consideration is one reason I didn’t choose the NG-20, the other is that the Basilisk doesn’t need that much landing thrust. Feel free to use them if you wish, they do allow you to free up some space for more cargo or hab units.
As a side note, the Bristleback uses 19 NG-20’s, and four of those big Hopetech landers. If I had used anything less I would not have been able to achieve 100k cargo capacity.
I like this version too but I like the original version better my mass is @ 3793 with 4650 cargo hull and shielded cargo of 800 I'm happy thanks again
Nice! If you just change the engines you can get up to 6800 cargo and still have 100 mobility…
I would pay Bethesda/Microsoft another $100 if it would give me ten more ships. But this ship is SO fantastic (great name choice as well - AND your using your Razorleaf spot was genius)... I think I am going to use one of my 9 spots and build. Thank you.
I think Bethesda has a huge opportunity to expand on the ship builder, and I’m sure they plan to capitalize on that.
Thank you very much, I hope you enjoy it!
Great build! I did similar but without wings )) where can you purchase these 6830 upgraded *special* engines? Thanks 👍🏻
6830's are unlocked from the mission 'All That Money Can Buy' and then you can purchase them at Stroud Eklund Staryard. May be available in other locations as well but that one I know for sure.
My Ship like myself needs to shed some pounds. And will do so once I get home
You and me both!
In my current play through I am stopped everything in order to focus to get perk lvls (C class ships) so I can build a Badassilisk for my self. Is it true that some ship parts are gated not just by ship building perk but character level?
Need to be level 60, and have the missions ‘Grunt Work’ and ‘All That Money Can Buy’ and remain diplomatic through that one.
my razor leaf is locked out, ramp always up and cant access the ship anymore. All other ships work, I'm pretty pissed since I upgraded it heavily and flew it around for 4 hours on missions... and now... cant get in it.
Waiting for a mod that adds in civillian habs (complete with 3x3 accomodations, observation decks, a giant landing bay/reception area, and ground shuttle rovers for once) that way the Basilisk can be converted into what's basically a space cruise ship
Put it another way, you're turning a light space destroyer into a Starfield-ized version of the Origin 890 Jump from Star Citizen or the Saud Beluga Liner from Elite Dangerous
Definitely would love some more variation in hab interiors, especially some luxury stuff.
Battleships are in the game and are SIGNIFICANTLY larger than the Basilisk. I fought the Camulus in the Aetos II build if you haven't seen it yet. UC Vigilance is another example of a battleship. Considering the Basilisk is a fraction of the size of those ships, it cannot be considered in the same class. It also has excellent mobility, so heavy fighter makes the most sense.
Name it whatever you please when you build it of course, but it is still the Basilisk to the rest of the community. The Basilisk was originally built to be the Crimson Fleet's flagship, and even if it wasn't, I still personally would not label it as a UC ship. My character's RP is an independent pilot. Oz does not put all his loyalties into one basket, rather he gains what he can from any faction for his own gain. (I still like the Fleet over the other factions. More personality!)
@@WizeOldWizard Thanks for the info! Also I can't help but look as if the first gen grav jump-capable starship seen at 26:45-end of chapter is intentionally designed after a chisel. And is that a Supernova 2200 engine at the rear and a Nova braking engine behind the Cabot bridge?
The ship builder at Jemison does not have that SAL-6830 engine. Which ship builder are you using here?
TIA
Stroud-Eklund Staryard.
Hey is this still bug if you rebuild your ship using the mantis blue print having a companion with shield? Will not count? I saw one of the message here a guy saying about a bug
Idk, my shield rating sits at 3600 with my skills and crew, which is astronomically high. I wonder if the Razorleaf has an intrinsic shield bonus…
theres a bottom mout landing gear linke the one your using with 4 landing thrust
Is the 28T unlocked with the 6830? I have been searching for hours in between playing and it has not appeared. I neglected the Main Story so I know what I have to do to upgrade the engines. It's a beautiful design and even with some personal changes I'm still running at 90 mobility which is about triple what I had been playing with.
I doubt that, because they are a different brand than Slayton, whose founder and ceo you speak with at the end of that mission.
I’ll see what I can find.
@@WizeOldWizard I figured it out. I kept trying to place it on horizontal locations but as soon as I went for a vertical one it appeared and I was able to place it down. Sometimes this game does odd things and I need to be more aware of it 🙂
How did you get your shield so high? I've built the same setup and my shield's showing 2400? In terms of crew, I've got Vasco on there who has a shields bonus so not sure what I'm missing?
Omari Hassan and full shield system skill.
Also, there is a ship module that you gain access to through the Crimson Fleet quest line, which I don’t want to spoil, but that module may have an impact on that.
This game is going to be insane when they finally make it an MMO! So, why did you name this vessel "Basilisk"
The Basilisk is a mythological giant serpent, bred by dark wizards, which turns all who look into its eyes to stone.
And it sounds good hahah
Also bring up scanner click planet to travel between planets. No need for meanus
It is much easier to find the planet you’re looking for in the starmap. This alone makes the scanner method slower. Now if you’re in space and can actually see a planet you wish to travel to, then yeah the scanner is nice. Same with being planet-side, open scanner, FT to ship or other location.
Did you run into the structural module limit? If so, how did you deal with it?
Definitely not on this ship. My next video, however, I 100% hit the module limit. It’s a very large build. It’s all about which parts you want to sacrifice and I’m still finalizing that build.
Did you have a parts list break down that we can view?
Nope, but I go over each part in the full build guide, link’s in the description.
Can I ask what path you took in the Walter Stroud mission as there is the cheaper option or 'kitchen sink' option when you build the ship. Do you know if this matters in getting the Engines you mentioned
You must remain diplomatic throughout that mission, don’t kill anyone.
You should definitely get the 6830’s.
@user-fu what you are meaning is just a side quest from Walter Stroud where you can "design" your own ship, if you chose the kitchen sink method you get a C class ship for free. The mission for the SAL Engines should be already done by that point I belive
@@schnitzelUSB wrong mission. You’re referring to ‘Overdesigned’. The correct quest comes just before that one and is called ‘All that Money can Buy’. Still received from Walter Stroud and it’s not a side quest because you’re buying an Artifact. The reason the 6830 engines are unlocked from this becomes clear towards the end of the mission. And DON’T FORGET you must complete the quest diplomatically. Don’t kill anyone!
@@WizeOldWizard yup that's what I have been trying to say but @user-fu confused them I think
@@schnitzelUSB shit my bad, I misread your response and also screwed up my first response to fu. Whoops!
Just FYI the SAL 6830 engines are a level 60 unlock. You dont have to be diplomatic in Walters mission
The 6830 engines are the unlock from completing that mission, not the 6330. At the end of that mission you choose to either fight or broker a deal, and if you don’t broker the deal then you don’t get that hidden reward.
@@WizeOldWizard I just edited my comment. A Google search shows that they unlock after level 60. I didn't broker the deal and I got them after getting to level 60
@@mobilegamer8922 that’s weird because the 6330’s are listed as level 60, but the 6830’s are listed as level 1. I’ll have to try completing that quest prior to level 60 to find out, and I will try just killing everyone hahaha. I’m capturing an entire fresh playthrough for another type of guide, so it will be a good opportunity!
Hello Wizard I love your ship I m still learning how to build and my limitations are the skill sets I m still need to work on getting funds and level up required to build this ship. I need advice I don't think I have access to class C ships
For access to Class C ships, you need to have the Piloting skill maxed at rank 4.
For efficient leveling, I recommend building an outpost on Andraphon (a moon in the Narion system) and find a location that has iron, aluminum, and helium all within the outpost. Place as many extractors and storages as you can and sleep once you have it setup to let the resources fill up. Then craft Adaptive Frames at the Industrial Workbench until you reach rank 60. That is when all the ship modules become available to you.
For credits, first and foremost loot and sell EVERYTHING. Crimson Fleet missions from the mission boards pay well. Sell those Adaptive Frames you crafted! Mine Plutonium and sell it (you'll have to find a good location for that, I've not done this myself).
I will be making guides for all these in the future, but I'm just one guy and I only have so much time. Thanks for your patience and support!
Good sir you are missing aspects of the engine. Maneuvering thrust details. When youi ise thrusters ti go different detections and the regilar engine thrust is how much mass can be pulled, si regilar thrust and mass dictates mobility and top speed. Manuvering is how fast you turn, mass also affects acceleration based on regular thrust from engines.
Thanks for your comment but based on my testing results, what you are implying is not correct. The 6330 engines each have 1000 less maneuvering thrust than the 6830’s. Max achievable mass was 3789, but when I upgraded to the 6830, I was able to increase mass to 4275 before losing mobility. Considering both engines have identical normal thrust, it is the maneuvering thrust that matters.
Not throwing shade, I just want to make sure my viewers have the correct information!
I'm slowing getting all the updated parts. I'm up to 70 mobility. I just need the credits to buy 4 more of the bigger engines... and that should solve the mobility issue. I painted it in my usual black and purple.
Having the full stack of engines will for sure help. Looking forward to hearing what you think of the build once completed!
I finished it. I added more cargo and shielded cargo so I have just over 10000. And my mobility is at 87 still. I added the com spike and jammer from the crimson fleet quests as well. It's a beast in a fight. Love it
@@BertLundie very nice, that’s a roomy cargo hold and little sacrifice to combat ability. Have you seen my vytinium mine guide yet? Great way to make credits, and I’ll be expanding it to be even more profitable in a future video!
@@WizeOldWizard I just watched it I'll have to look into it.. I tend to make adaptive frames and sell them to a civilian vendor on venus so i only need to wait 1 hrs to reset... it's a bit slow as she only has 5000 but if I modify my ship with her I can get all my credits back with selling guns and frames
@@BertLundie oh at a civ outpost? Interesting… I still find that going to any Trade Authority is the better move since they’ve got 11k credits to buy with. I found that after you sleep for the necessary amount of times to sell 100k credits worth of stuff, by the time you return to your mine, it’s already all filled up again. I see no need for the Venus method. Throw up a comment on that video too if you haven’t already, helps to promote it.
Am I the only one who doesn't think mobility ends up mattering that much? Using thrusters, I can spin around to face a passing ship pretty easily. The only time I have an issue is when I'm severely outnumbered. So on my build, I use these engines, the 4 thrust per landing gears from New Homestead, and load up as much cargo as I can, almost 30k with my payloads skill.
It definitely does matter when fighting multiple ships, you nailed it. My build is all about balance but this is awesome you can get to 30k cargo cap. How much is installed on the ship itself, minus payloads skill?
@@WizeOldWizard True, but by multiple I'm referring to a dozen or more. My ship doesn't really work well if I pop into kryz or decide to start blasting above new Atlantis, but any ambush of 5 or 6 really isn't an issue. On very hard if that makes a difference for this. The base cargo is currently 21280 upped to 27663 with payloads 3. Still have 38 mobility and 29LY. I could push it over 30k base and still have 26LY and mobility in the teens if I wanted and had the cred.
@@TonyMiller423 fantastic man, I’m glad this works for you. I have a max cargo build in mind for those that don’t mind low mobility, and maybe I find that the same ends up being true for me. Currently I’ve found that mobility is important to me, but that can change!
@@WizeOldWizard No doubt, wasn't meaning to detract from your experience. If you're looking for that real dogfight feel I can see mobility being a lot more important. I just want to blow up/board the enemy and not get blown up myself. High mobility isn't needed for that it would seem. It just surprised me that's the case is all.
@@TonyMiller423 what we really need is flight stick support. My movement feels so limited compared to the space flight that I’m used to.
