Are there any magazine pages that affect shields? Ive acquired some that affect ship weapons (a permanent effect once acquired) but haven't seen any that affect shield strength.
Can't thank you enough for this. Took me almost 2 straight days to get all the pieces together. What a challenge. .My only advice.........don't ever lose that lady by your side.......anybody that calls you while you're gaming to let you know that your breakfast is ready should never be left out of your sight. Seriously man , thanks you.
I learned a lot about the ins and outs of shipbuilding following this guide and tweaking it. Thanks for putting in the time to share you knowledge of the shipbuilding system
Hey Digfig! I used to watch you all the time back when Starfield was the game. I have since moved over to play Star Citizen alot and hadn't really touched Starfield, but right now Star Citizen is kind of in a borked state as the devs introduced a big update along with a bunch of bugs, so I went back to Starfield. Back when I was watching your videos, I was working my way through the ng's with a plan to hit ng10 and then do a full second playthrough. I just did that last night, so now its time for my full second playthrough, and the FIRST thought I had is I need to find your ship building guide for THIS SHIP because I remember how thought-out it was and how perfect it was! I'm so excited to do this play through and to build this ship! It's been a year, but I just wanted to thank you once again for all the time you put into these videos. It's been a long time coming, but I'm so stoked! LETS GO!!!!
This is the tutorial I needed, perfect tutorial format, no one is doing it like this, the thing that did it for me was, from buying the template ship, to travelling to every part dealer, and listing the parts to buy the thing to pause the video in was perfect (maybe a little thumbnail of the part next to the amount could help) this helped me a lot! thankyou for the effort on this video
I built this beast a couple days ago. Went from getting blown to little bits almost every time to now I'll never be able to board a ship because it obliterates them! Thanks for the guide, Brother, and the time it takes to make your videos.
Great ship, really appreciate the effort put into making it both functional and awesome looking. A few pointers learned from the process…. Do NOT start with a “stolen” ship. There is a bug in the game, and it makes your stolen ship fly away without you after you modify it. Learned this the hard way. For my second attempt, I used the ship duplication bug to copy the Frontier onto the Razorleaf, then used that as a basis. This way I kept my ComSpike and EM shield. And enemies think I am the Mantis and quake in fear! I also tucked some shielded cargo discretely underneath and added some rear auto turrets, and replaced the 4xPBO-100 with 6x Vanguard Obliterators. This ship absolutely shreds! I keep the Obliterators fully powered and just a few power points in the auto weapons, because for the autos the power only affects reload time, and by the time it’s time to reload by enemy is space dust. Almost all enemies fully shredded in one head-on pass.
Amazing video! I created the Ziggara (1) in my first playthrough, loved it, pulled the trigger on NG+, and you know what happened to my Ziggara... so I started saving up to build it again when I came across this video! I'm super excited to build v2! You are one talented ship builder!! Kudos!
Fantastic quick tutorial with several nuance complicated bits sprinkled in. I was nodding most of the way through, as I know/hate/use/recognize the glitches in the machine. Watching this was like a therapy session, and I'm going to compare to some of the components on my M. Falcon, esquire
Thank you for this entertaining and informative video on building this amazing ship. Love the no ladders, massive cargo capacity and great maneuverability and speed for such a massive ship. Your step by step instructions were easy to follow. After building your original ship, I upgraded the weapons to essentially the strongest particle beam weapons systems, even though I only apply power to the turrets, (436 total damage), and a second, manually operated particle beam weapon system, which does a total damage of 224. Your ideas have greatly enhanced my ship building abilities and enjoyment using high end, end game spaceships. Thanks!
Firstly, Thanks, this is a great ship that I finally managed to build. It's the first ship I ever built and probably my last. Respect and kudos to all of you that do these great designs, but I personally do not have the patience for, and the UI takes a lot of getting used to. I did love your presentation style, but at a few points it meant I was floundering, not having a clue what to do. I followed your guide exactly, including buying the Rambler II, and where I fell over a few times were: - 1. You mentioned that you had issues with the landing bay, but vaguely said you had to buy a lot of extra stuff, I had no idea what to do, resolved it myself eventually but in a totally different way to you. I realised later on the the Rambler II comes with the 120 LD docking bay, which you mention in a shopping list later on, so not required if the Rambler is your starting point 2. Had a similar issue at Demios, when you said, "attach all the parts like this, then off we go", I could not get the pieces to look anything like yours, but I also noticed the screenshot you were showing as "good to go", had 1 error, so you presumably could not have actually saved this at that point? These are such minor points, and once again thank you for an amazing ship, and such excellent "customer service" :) You shouldn't beat yourself up over the few slips you made, you were professional and "Owned it" and corrected things extremely quickly.
dude. this ship is awesome. congrats on the baby. thanks for putting so much effort and time into making this and thoroughly explaining things. i have a battle ship build currently at 600k credits, but when i make some money im adding this to my arsenal. happy flying
This is by far the best starfield ship that I've built stat wise. It's a monster that has it all. I've modified it for what I want/need with less good stat but hell, that was the best base to work on. Thank you.
I very much appreciate your highly polished intro and very organized video layout. A large majority of Starfield videos seem to be stream of consciousness ramblings that get around to so many random points, I forget why I clicked on the video to begin with. I can appreciate those videos too, but when I want info about a subject, I much prefer concise, detailed scripting. Yeah, your shield numbers even varied from your intro ship to your final build with nothing else changing, so there's something really wonky going on. WITH A BETHESDA GAME?!?! NEVER!!!
...I just can't believe your took your awesome first ship and made it this much better! This is beautifully awesome and definitely looks like a military ship, perfect for roleplaying - thanks for the video!
I did your ship build from like a week and a half ago. I followed it almost exactly how you laid it out in that video. I loved that ship!!! It was basically a big delete button. Just completely destroyed everything!!! I got NG+ for the first time yesterday.. and my ship is gone! So I'm sad I don't have the ship anymore. I'm working on getting enough funds to buy it again, but NG+ is proving to be a little slow for me. So I'm really looking forward to doing it all again with this new design!
I'm also on the ng+ grind. Before you get too far into it, here's something to consider: you repeat the gathering pieces/abilities 10x, each time your abilities get increased to another level. At 10 the progress stops, so ideally you do 10 ng+ resets. When you first go to constellation, you can skip main story line, then tell them to gather pieces. You'll end up only having to gather like 5 of them, then get the abilities, then do final battle. If you use the slow time with the cutter, you can take most mobs down with no ammo usage. Upgrade lasers, heavy weapons, and other skills that help the cutter become more powerful, and then use whatever gun you get for the final battles along with the slow time skill. Just blaze through them until you get to ng+10, then do the full playthrough again once you're all capped.
Used your guide and built a copy and it's a great ship, I ended up doing some of my own mods Adding 2 more Habs to the back of the wingparts and some extra shielded cargo underneath 😊
I stole a Va’ruun ship as a base to work with, the Stroud Ecklund parts you listed were already installed on this stolen Va’ruun ship. Reduced my cost some. Love the design, it’s so surprising how high you can keep your mobility while having incredibly large ships like this and plenty of cargos space. Smaller Ships like the Razorleaf seem to sacrifice cargo space for being agile, high mobility. But it could be so much larger and still retain that high mobility. You just need to know how and we certainly learned that from you. Big LIKE for that.
Man I built this and modified it a bit to have some shielded cargo, plus swapped out the auto turrets for EM weapons for boarding, and even on very hard this thing goes through enemy ships like a hot knife through butter. Normally finding I can have the shields down on pretty much anything before it gets within range, and then pop two or three pulses with the EM to cripple their engines, then loot ahoy! Looking forward to playing around a bit more with it, but absolutely loving it so far!
@Digfig Great work again, and thank you sooo much for the Crew and Ship section! I personally think you make the best build videos because you show where you get the parts and how to get them from first stop to last!
Easy to figure it out why your shield value it's bugged, no secret there. It's a bug that comes from capturing other ships when you go from a ship that has a crew capacity of 8 to one that can handle less crew and that way some of the crew that gives shield increase has no space on the new ship. Your are still in space at this time, they will still be on the ship you captured until you land. Two things can happened at this point your either land with your captured ship or you board back your original ship, In one instance your original ship will be "buffed" as yours is here and on the other will lose shield value and can even go under base value of it's shield. So for a build to not create confusion, always start with a fresh ship but that again high values and controversy attract viewers i guess:) I'll add this here to help others: another shield bug happens when you add a skill point to any of your skills while you are on your ship. This one will set your shiled value at it's base and won't change with or without crew assigned, won't even give you your 60% increase from skills. So to avoid shield bugs: DON'T assign skills while on your ship and DON'T capture other ships while you have crew assign, always go solo for stealing or capturing (better anyway since your bounty gets wiped if you are the last survivor on the ship and there is nobody to get angry if you kill blues).
For those struggling to snap pieces, buttons R and F are the answer. They raise and lower the part selected in shipbuilder and this IS THE WAY to snap parts quickly. Also, this is a classic Bethesda title. Much like building in FO4 or FO76, sometimes you have to delete/sell the part, purchase again, unattach module you are attempting to connect to and then reconnect module and reconnect part, attach it in a slot to be able to move it to the appropriate slot or any combination therein. Rest assured, Starfield shipbuilding isn't nearly as buggy as previous Fallout building. The R & F buttons work miracles and why Bethesda didnt bind that to up/down arrows key is perplexing. FWIW Dig, nice build sir. A nicely balanced ship indeed!
This build changed the game for me. Finally i can store all my resources. Beautiful ship does everything i could want just needs the shielded storgae and all set.
I love how every ship design posted are always the best, like first it was the nagal or something then it was the Star Angel or something, then minutes ago it was someone else's ship and now its your ship. I'm not claiming anything fly what works for you of course, not sure how you have enough power for three sets of weapons, shields, power to thrusters etc... it seems like so much. I don't have level 60 and I don't have ship design level 4 so some equipment I can't add, and I'm not sure if I came out ahead or behind after changing the engine and jump drive on my Star Angel ship but after changing some things I did get 28 jump length and I added 2 more jump engines, so its working well enough for now. Oh and I did upgrade the weapons one level as well to get more damage. But I have two weapon only and one if the laser type weapon and the second is the EM type weapon, and I basically take power from one weapon and add it to the other, but usually I just kill and repeat. I'm not good at flying correctly like run, turn shoot, run turn shoot yeah not so much. Oh yeah I changes the shield as well. I am kind of sad I lowered storage to gain Jump Range and I do not have 30 Jump range but I did get 28 :) Thanks for sharing the build.
So I am LOVING this ship.. I redid the Frontier into it!! By doing that I didn't have to fly Franken-ship all over the place, I just used my regular ship (Starborn) to go to each location, and then I edited the Frontier there. I decided I wanted some Shielded Cargo, so I managed to achieve this by stripping out ALMOST all the cosmetics -- I only have one radiator left -- the one at the Grav Drive -- which is actually the structural attachment point to the main hull. That radiator, and the center nose cone are all that are left... the thruster parts are cosmetic only, as well as the port holes, and the nose cones, radiators, and the mounts that go to the sides of the docking bay. By stripping them all out I got a pair of shielded cargo bays in that spot instead, and got to the exact limit for keeping 100 mobility. I'm not sure what else was going on, but when I built it out, I only had 29LY range, instead of 30.. but after I added the Jump skill, it's back up to 30.
This is absolutely amazing and outstanding, this truly is 'The Ship to Rule All'; will definitely be trying to make my own version! Thanks for the video!!
Just made the ship and I’m only getting 27 light year range. I have Sarah on board but no points in astrodynamics so I assume that’s why. Gonna fiddle around with the fuel tanks and see if I can achieve 30 yr range. Thanks so much for such an incredible build!
Gamechanging, appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Added an armory to replace the infirmary on mine. I just love to look and my shinney booty
Good guide. A few little bits to work out (Top Portholes can become Bottom Portholes). All built on Xbox start to finish in 3 hours. Most of that trying to snap all the to my donor ship. Can’t attach the final rads either. But all good. A+ eBay rating.
Man, this was a pain in the neck to build, but so worth it. By the way, the controller method to do the parts merge (that you do at the end), you put the part where you want it to go, flip, flip again (X), then cancel (B). So it's just X, X, B. Super easy. Looks a lot harder in the video than it is in practice. Once I did it one time, I had it. But you're right about the controller, it's a mess. Not only did this build nearly break my Xbox down (too many parts, I think - I never got modules disconnected, but it was moving very slowly, not letting me move stuff to the far back of the ship, the cursor was moving faster (or slower) than the part I was moving, so all kinds of weird behavior. But, I got it. I think what I failed to realize - correct me if I'm wrong - was that only the starred parts need to be bought at the vendors. The ones that aren't starred, you can get at the ship builder at an outpost. It's not hard to get the materials needed to build a landing pad with ship builder, if that's all you want. (You should also add a bounty clearance board, and the two mission boards. And place it outside the jurisdiction of all factions you can get a bounty with.) Of course, to follow your video, one would have to then go back once they got to the ship builder, once they were done with the New Homestead exclusive parts. They'd have to go back to each section to complete the shopping list. Not too hard.
This was really a great instruction! Very clear and well presented. Note: you forgot indeed the NG-20 etc but gladly fixed that in "post" (list) 🙂. But that wasn't a showstopper al all. And they probably fixed some snapping issues; I've encountered none of the issues with detaching modules. Keep doing this stuff!
For Anyone wanting a work around for Cargo issues check this out. Your ship does not suffer any penalties for having more than it can carry. So load up your favorite ship! How you ask? You need two ships. For me I have a big slow cargo hauler with near zero Weapon capabilities. So i just load up everything in its massive cargo hold. Something like 2376 cap. Then I switch to my favorite lite fighter ship like the Razorleaf with its cargo capacity of 504 currently. When I do I don't lose any of the extra weight of cargo. It's all there.
I used the Frontier as my base and used the unique 2x1 hab instead of the infirmary. I spent Saturday morning into the afternoon to finish it and it's awesome. So glad I saw this video as I was about to build version 1. Thanks for the video!
Yeah I have a vanilla narwhal at level 22 atm but when I’m 60 70 with enough credits I’m goin to make one of these thank you. No ladders and max stats , crew capacity is perfect.
Good to see a nice build that doesn't use the Nova Galactic Cabot bridge. The amount of cargo space you have, while still getting 100 mobility is awesome.
Your ship is benefitting from a known bug where the shield bonuses get permanently re-applied when certain things happen (not sure on exact triggers, but it seems if you reload crew in space, load saves in space, change perks in space, etc.)... Unfortunately, the bug can work both ways, so sometimes your shields will actually get stackingly worse. With this build setup, your shields should be 2560, but you have a positive shield bug which has doubled the shield amounts. Here is an example of someone triggering this bug (in the negative variety). th-cam.com/video/R5jgZUFzHQg/w-d-xo.html The only way to "fix" the bug (whether positive or negative version) is to either use the ship duplication exploit (the duplicate may have the correct amount of shields - I had to do a couple duplications to get one that was at the correct amount), or do a completely new ship build from a new "seed" ship. Just rebuilding the bugged one won't get rid of the bugged shields.
38:40 I'm sure someone said this but I would imagine that the multiple skill-ups in the form of "GRUNT" magazine etc etc have added to the overall values of the build. Loved the video. 👍
Fantastic build, ,first guide I found that gave me 99% of what I was looking for! Only minor tweak I made was to sacrifice some aesthetics by replacing a couple of the nova thrusters with a little shielded cargo
Another great design, came out with only 1 error for the weapons not assigned as expected. Smooth as silk. I do thi k the glitches radiators look good but prefer to not have glitches stuff as to prevent graphic errors or crashed. May not be a big deal just a preference. I really like the all in one ship builds so you only need to use 1 day to day. Other may be better cruisers until you need to store something... Thanks again for the excellent builds and walkthroughs.
Awsome build man out of all ship builds I have seen I chose yours. The most difficult part for me was trying to fit these parts on the rambler so I could move to the next starport. The errors were driving me crazy. Also the NG 20 landing gear was never included in any of the lists.
Really is an awesome build. I added a further hab on each side and a few embellishments, and she still handles like a dream with 99 mobility. Absolute beast.
Dude, I built a few of your ships and it’s awesome! Gonna build this when I get home from work today. You are super creative! I have no creativity when it comes to ship building. 😅 Keep these ships coming and I’ll keep making them 😆
You sir are a genius and a gentleman ( in whichever order you prefer 😊 ). Using my drug empire I just purchased my Voyager 3. Any guide out there that can upgrade the voyager to this one ? If none, no problem I will just sell some more drugs 😂 ( amps farm for those who are wondering 😎 ) Thanks again for your work putting this wonderful guide tougher, I really appreciate it ! Good luck to you !
I really tried to follow the build it certainly served as a good template appreciate the detailed guide 👌 I end up creating the cargooooo version of this 😅
Built this yesterday (first complete ship build)- Bethesda REALLY need to implement ability to save during ship building!!! Can't see anything in your crew skills, but this shows C reactor 41 whereas mine is showing 40...?
Thanks . I have built a few ships . My jewel of the fleet has two stories . No ladders . Most the habs . 6+ . 100 mobility . I also used the razor leaf deleted it but I still get the funny dialogue Also the vanguard obliterators are better dps and you can have 6 too
A brilliant, entertaining video and step by step guide, and an excellent ship! I like the attention to detail and tips along the way. It took me a couple of hours, but I liked it so much I just built your ship for myself (with a couple of minor changes... swapping out the centre circular rad thing for more cargo and bunging on more insta-kill weaponry!). And I subscribed too. Thank you!
Yo this is great man thank you for your effort, detailed, easy to follow, my brain chooses not to work whenever I get to the build screen so this is golden ❤
Great build and vid. However, I think the shield "bug" is actually in the PC version of the game, allowing you to cumulatively stack shield bonuses to get your shield up to 5k (which is insane btw 🙂) which you can’t do on console. It makes more sense that the most you could ever increase your shield to would be +60% over the base shield value, if you OR your crew have Shield Systems Rank 4 - which over-rides and nullifies any crew with a lower rank of this skill. This is how the other skills work e.g. for weapons damage.
bro i'm beeing hones, if there will be the first alien ship sales i think you would be a perfekt sales man hahahaha I absolutely would buy this ship after your rewiev xD much respect bro :D
i have built this ship just changed a couple of little things like shielded gama 1010 cargo holds ether side of the front middle landing gear the front lower engine brace ether side with another nova radiator a DC403 reactor and the rear fuel tank is a 900T he3 tank and the wing tips are nova cowling 2L-pf all done in black with yellow trim looks sweet
Just a heads up - You apparently can't do the z-z-escape thing to force-snap things anymore as seen at 34:45 . Also, the "shopping list" where we're told to pause 89 times is incomplete. You need to buy some NG-20 landing gears, some Horizon Weapon Mounts, and some Nova Radiator - Tops.
Yess dude thankyou! Thats one thing ive always wished i could work around is putting structural pieces clipping within other pieces to have a more streamlined look. Absolutely love the trick you shared at 34.25 with the hopetech radiator things. My ships will become so much nicer. Your ship looks absolutely awesome. Thanks again
This was my first ship build and it came out great. Only level 47 so I had to get a smaller reacter and grav drive. Ship still rocks, and I look forward to upgrading as I level.

Amen to THAT :-)
So true, Mine makes coffee, breakfast, and delivers to me... She's gold.
I love the way you did the ship showcase, like it was a ship coming off the lot at a dealership. Awesome showcase and build!
This guy is underrated. Covers all bases and easy to listen to. True TH-camr right here.
The sales pitch at the beginning was actually fun to watch. Great effort! Fun and interesting video. I might actually buy this ship.
Upvoted because NO ladders.

Nice to have one without ladders. But it’s overplayed imo. A well-placed ladder isn’t the end of the world

Hey Digfig! I used to watch you all the time back when Starfield was the game. I have since moved over to play Star Citizen alot and hadn't really touched Starfield, but right now Star Citizen is kind of in a borked state as the devs introduced a big update along with a bunch of bugs, so I went back to Starfield. Back when I was watching your videos, I was working my way through the ng's with a plan to hit ng10 and then do a full second playthrough.

I'm so excited to do this play through and to build this ship! It's been a year, but I just wanted to thank you once again for all the time you put into these videos. It's been a long time coming, but I'm so stoked! LETS GO!!!!

Once i think theres no way people could make better ones i always see this on my homepage. Yet another better ship.
Took about four hours to build but this ship absolutely shreds. Thank you Dig
four hours??? jesus bro
It took me the same amount of time. I just did it tonight. It was also the first ship I built so it was a learning experience.
@@ksac42 did u use your own base ship builder? makes it way easier. and unless u didnt have enough money it definitely shouldnt take that long lol
@@poluyphemus Yes, but this was the first time building a ship. I suspect it would take me half the time to do it again.
Thank you! I rebuilt it, took me about two hours on the XBox for everything. But it was worth it. Great ship, great instructions.
love how you list what you buy and highlight the stuff you need level and playthrough for well done -- shipbuilders can learn from you
I built this beast a couple days ago. Went from getting blown to little bits almost every time to now I'll never be able to board a ship because it obliterates them! Thanks for the guide, Brother, and the time it takes to make your videos.
Great ship, really appreciate the effort put into making it both functional and awesome looking. A few pointers learned from the process…. Do NOT start with a “stolen” ship. There is a bug in the game, and it makes your stolen ship fly away without you after you modify it. Learned this the hard way. For my second attempt, I used the ship duplication bug to copy the Frontier onto the Razorleaf, then used that as a basis. This way I kept my ComSpike and EM shield. And enemies think I am the Mantis and quake in fear! I also tucked some shielded cargo discretely underneath and added some rear auto turrets, and replaced the 4xPBO-100 with 6x Vanguard Obliterators. This ship absolutely shreds! I keep the Obliterators fully powered and just a few power points in the auto weapons, because for the autos the power only affects reload time, and by the time it’s time to reload by enemy is space dust. Almost all enemies fully shredded in one head-on pass.
Amazing video! I created the Ziggara (1) in my first playthrough, loved it, pulled the trigger on NG+, and you know what happened to my Ziggara... so I started saving up to build it again when I came across this video! I'm super excited to build v2! You are one talented ship builder!! Kudos!
Fantastic quick tutorial with several nuance complicated bits sprinkled in. I was nodding most of the way through, as I know/hate/use/recognize the glitches in the machine. Watching this was like a therapy session, and I'm going to compare to some of the components on my M. Falcon, esquire
Thank you for this entertaining and informative video on building this amazing ship. Love the no ladders, massive cargo capacity and great maneuverability and speed for such a massive ship. Your step by step instructions were easy to follow. After building your original ship, I upgraded the weapons to essentially the strongest particle beam weapons systems, even though I only apply power to the turrets, (436 total damage), and a second, manually operated particle beam weapon system, which does a total damage of 224. Your ideas have greatly enhanced my ship building abilities and enjoyment using high end, end game spaceships. Thanks!
The LEGO enthusiast in me loves the fact that you knoll out all the pieces; it's so satisfying
Firstly, Thanks, this is a great ship that I finally managed to build. It's the first ship I ever built and probably my last. Respect and kudos to all of you that do these great designs, but I personally do not have the patience for, and the UI takes a lot of getting used to. I did love your presentation style, but at a few points it meant I was floundering, not having a clue what to do. I followed your guide exactly, including buying the Rambler II, and where I fell over a few times were: -
1. You mentioned that you had issues with the landing bay, but vaguely said you had to buy a lot of extra stuff, I had no idea what to do, resolved it myself eventually but in a totally different way to you. I realised later on the the Rambler II comes with the 120 LD docking bay, which you mention in a shopping list later on, so not required if the Rambler is your starting point
2. Had a similar issue at Demios, when you said, "attach all the parts like this, then off we go", I could not get the pieces to look anything like yours, but I also noticed the screenshot you were showing as "good to go", had 1 error, so you presumably could not have actually saved this at that point?
These are such minor points, and once again thank you for an amazing ship, and such excellent "customer service" :) You shouldn't beat yourself up over the few slips you made, you were professional and "Owned it" and corrected things extremely quickly.
dude. this ship is awesome. congrats on the baby. thanks for putting so much effort and time into making this and thoroughly explaining things. i have a battle ship build currently at 600k credits, but when i make some money im adding this to my arsenal. happy flying
This is by far the best starfield ship that I've built stat wise. It's a monster that has it all.
I've modified it for what I want/need with less good stat but hell, that was the best base to work on.
Thank you.
I very much appreciate your highly polished intro and very organized video layout. A large majority of Starfield videos seem to be stream of consciousness ramblings that get around to so many random points, I forget why I clicked on the video to begin with. I can appreciate those videos too, but when I want info about a subject, I much prefer concise, detailed scripting.
Yeah, your shield numbers even varied from your intro ship to your final build with nothing else changing, so there's something really wonky going on. WITH A BETHESDA GAME?!?! NEVER!!!
...I just can't believe your took your awesome first ship and made it this much better! This is beautifully awesome and definitely looks like a military ship, perfect for roleplaying - thanks for the video!
I did your ship build from like a week and a half ago. I followed it almost exactly how you laid it out in that video. I loved that ship!!! It was basically a big delete button. Just completely destroyed everything!!! I got NG+ for the first time yesterday.. and my ship is gone! So I'm sad I don't have the ship anymore. I'm working on getting enough funds to buy it again, but NG+ is proving to be a little slow for me. So I'm really looking forward to doing it all again with this new design!
I'm also on the ng+ grind. Before you get too far into it, here's something to consider: you repeat the gathering pieces/abilities 10x, each time your abilities get increased to another level. At 10 the progress stops, so ideally you do 10 ng+ resets. When you first go to constellation, you can skip main story line, then tell them to gather pieces. You'll end up only having to gather like 5 of them, then get the abilities, then do final battle. If you use the slow time with the cutter, you can take most mobs down with no ammo usage. Upgrade lasers, heavy weapons, and other skills that help the cutter become more powerful, and then use whatever gun you get for the final battles along with the slow time skill. Just blaze through them until you get to ng+10, then do the full playthrough again once you're all capped.
Oh my god this video is like the best one for ships so far, he even tells you the requirements
Bro, I'm 3 mins in and you're already my favorite ship builder.
Used your guide and built a copy and it's a great ship, I ended up doing some of my own mods Adding 2 more Habs to the back of the wingparts and some extra shielded cargo underneath 😊
Love the detailed shopping list. So many builds just assume you know where all the things are!
I stole a Va’ruun ship as a base to work with, the Stroud Ecklund parts you listed were already installed on this stolen Va’ruun ship. Reduced my cost some.
Love the design, it’s so surprising how high you can keep your mobility while having incredibly large ships like this and plenty of cargos space.
Smaller Ships like the Razorleaf seem to sacrifice cargo space for being agile, high mobility. But it could be so much larger and still retain that high mobility. You just need to know how and we certainly learned that from you. Big LIKE for that.
Except for the missing parts in the last list it went flawless. Great job
Man I built this and modified it a bit to have some shielded cargo, plus swapped out the auto turrets for EM weapons for boarding, and even on very hard this thing goes through enemy ships like a hot knife through butter. Normally finding I can have the shields down on pretty much anything before it gets within range, and then pop two or three pulses with the EM to cripple their engines, then loot ahoy! Looking forward to playing around a bit more with it, but absolutely loving it so far!
@Digfig Great work again, and thank you sooo much for the Crew and Ship section! I personally think you make the best build videos because you show where you get the parts and how to get them from first stop to last!
🌟i did a lot of builts in Starfield, but this is by far my favorite one🌟 a zillion thanks, mate !!!!
Easy to figure it out why your shield value it's bugged, no secret there. It's a bug that comes from capturing other ships when you go from a ship that has a crew capacity of 8 to one that can handle less crew and that way some of the crew that gives shield increase has no space on the new ship. Your are still in space at this time, they will still be on the ship you captured until you land. Two things can happened at this point your either land with your captured ship or you board back your original ship, In one instance your original ship will be "buffed" as yours is here and on the other will lose shield value and can even go under base value of it's shield. So for a build to not create confusion, always start with a fresh ship but that again high values and controversy attract viewers i guess:)
I'll add this here to help others: another shield bug happens when you add a skill point to any of your skills while you are on your ship. This one will set your shiled value at it's base and won't change with or without crew assigned, won't even give you your 60% increase from skills.
So to avoid shield bugs: DON'T assign skills while on your ship and DON'T capture other ships while you have crew assign, always go solo for stealing or capturing (better anyway since your bounty gets wiped if you are the last survivor on the ship and there is nobody to get angry if you kill blues).
dude you have a great personality for narrating these. it takes a long grindy subject and somehow you made it fun to watch
For those struggling to snap pieces, buttons R and F are the answer. They raise and lower the part selected in shipbuilder and this IS THE WAY to snap parts quickly.
Also, this is a classic Bethesda title. Much like building in FO4 or FO76, sometimes you have to delete/sell the part, purchase again, unattach module you are attempting to connect to and then reconnect module and reconnect part, attach it in a slot to be able to move it to the appropriate slot or any combination therein.
Rest assured, Starfield shipbuilding isn't nearly as buggy as previous Fallout building. The R & F buttons work miracles and why Bethesda didnt bind that to up/down arrows key is perplexing.
FWIW Dig, nice build sir. A nicely balanced ship indeed!
At first I thought the sales pitch was cheesy, but kept listening, and goddammit that’s a good cheesy ass pitch! Lol cheers
This ship really has it all.... I'm building it.. I just need some hours to do it. Finally got the skills and the $$$, ready to go.
This build changed the game for me. Finally i can store all my resources. Beautiful ship does everything i could want just needs the shielded storgae and all set.
How to add that?
I love how every ship design posted are always the best, like first it was the nagal or something then it was the Star Angel or something, then minutes ago it was someone else's ship and now its your ship. I'm not claiming anything fly what works for you of course, not sure how you have enough power for three sets of weapons, shields, power to thrusters etc... it seems like so much. I don't have level 60 and I don't have ship design level 4 so some equipment I can't add, and I'm not sure if I came out ahead or behind after changing the engine and jump drive on my Star Angel ship but after changing some things I did get 28 jump length and I added 2 more jump engines, so its working well enough for now. Oh and I did upgrade the weapons one level as well to get more damage. But I have two weapon only and one if the laser type weapon and the second is the EM type weapon, and I basically take power from one weapon and add it to the other, but usually I just kill and repeat. I'm not good at flying correctly like run, turn shoot, run turn shoot yeah not so much. Oh yeah I changes the shield as well. I am kind of sad I lowered storage to gain Jump Range and I do not have 30 Jump range but I did get 28 :) Thanks for sharing the build.
I feel like this guy is trying to sell me a previously loved spaceship, and I love it.
Nice Ship! I named mine "Salient Point", since playing "Failure to Communicate"... now, I AM the Salient Point. :)
So I am LOVING this ship.. I redid the Frontier into it!!
By doing that I didn't have to fly Franken-ship all over the place, I just used my regular ship (Starborn) to go to each location, and then I edited the Frontier there.
I decided I wanted some Shielded Cargo, so I managed to achieve this by stripping out ALMOST all the cosmetics -- I only have one radiator left -- the one at the Grav Drive -- which is actually the structural attachment point to the main hull.
That radiator, and the center nose cone are all that are left... the thruster parts are cosmetic only, as well as the port holes, and the nose cones, radiators, and the mounts that go to the sides of the docking bay. By stripping them all out I got a pair of shielded cargo bays in that spot instead, and got to the exact limit for keeping 100 mobility.
I'm not sure what else was going on, but when I built it out, I only had 29LY range, instead of 30.. but after I added the Jump skill, it's back up to 30.
This is absolutely amazing and outstanding, this truly is 'The Ship to Rule All'; will definitely be trying to make my own version! Thanks for the video!!
Halo Pelican Vibes! Super cool!
Just made the ship and I’m only getting 27 light year range. I have Sarah on board but no points in astrodynamics so I assume that’s why. Gonna fiddle around with the fuel tanks and see if I can achieve 30 yr range. Thanks so much for such an incredible build!
Just made this took most of the evening but well happy with it looks awesome, put my own style on it but followed 99% of your guide, awesome tutorial
Other TH-camrs take note: this is how you do a ship build video.
Gamechanging, appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Added an armory to replace the infirmary on mine. I just love to look and my shinney booty
Too bad you can't save a ship that you're in the process of building even if it can't fly
Good guide. A few little bits to work out (Top Portholes can become Bottom Portholes).
All built on Xbox start to finish in 3 hours.
Most of that trying to snap all the to my donor ship.
Can’t attach the final rads either. But all good.
A+ eBay rating.
Man, this was a pain in the neck to build, but so worth it. By the way, the controller method to do the parts merge (that you do at the end), you put the part where you want it to go, flip, flip again (X), then cancel (B). So it's just X, X, B. Super easy. Looks a lot harder in the video than it is in practice. Once I did it one time, I had it. But you're right about the controller, it's a mess. Not only did this build nearly break my Xbox down (too many parts, I think - I never got modules disconnected, but it was moving very slowly, not letting me move stuff to the far back of the ship, the cursor was moving faster (or slower) than the part I was moving, so all kinds of weird behavior. But, I got it.
I think what I failed to realize - correct me if I'm wrong - was that only the starred parts need to be bought at the vendors. The ones that aren't starred, you can get at the ship builder at an outpost. It's not hard to get the materials needed to build a landing pad with ship builder, if that's all you want. (You should also add a bounty clearance board, and the two mission boards. And place it outside the jurisdiction of all factions you can get a bounty with.)
Of course, to follow your video, one would have to then go back once they got to the ship builder, once they were done with the New Homestead exclusive parts. They'd have to go back to each section to complete the shopping list. Not too hard.
This was really a great instruction! Very clear and well presented. Note: you forgot indeed the NG-20 etc but gladly fixed that in "post" (list) 🙂. But that wasn't a showstopper al all. And they probably fixed some snapping issues; I've encountered none of the issues with detaching modules. Keep doing this stuff!
Have made this ship in five NG+ games now. Made some minor revisions with improvements to weight efficiency, but this is still my guide
Couldn’t help but notice you found the motivation again right after 29:00 lol from one plus sized man to another, 🍻
For Anyone wanting a work around for Cargo issues check this out.
Your ship does not suffer any penalties for having more than it can carry. So load up your favorite ship! How you ask? You need two ships. For me I have a big slow cargo hauler with near zero Weapon capabilities. So i just load up everything in its massive cargo hold. Something like 2376 cap. Then I switch to my favorite lite fighter ship like the Razorleaf with its cargo capacity of 504 currently. When I do I don't lose any of the extra weight of cargo. It's all there.
Awesome build! Cannot figure out why my max crew is only 5
Damn, now I need another 800k for this ship too. Love ur ship building content. Thank u.
I used the Frontier as my base and used the unique 2x1 hab instead of the infirmary. I spent Saturday morning into the afternoon to finish it and it's awesome. So glad I saw this video as I was about to build version 1. Thanks for the video!
The hab isn't actually unique by the way. It just has a name and Barret's data pads. It's a standard Nova hab.
@@slaterbater1988 oh? I got my information from another video and didn’t really check. Thanks for the information
@@SBHink in the sense that it has a name I guess it's unique. But yeah, same thing as one of the Nova ones. All in one B or something🤔
Damn, some serious work went into this video. I'm genuelly impessed.
Definitely better than the last one. I saved a bit a cash by hi-jacking a C class ship and using it's shield and Grav drive.
Yeah I have a vanilla narwhal at level 22 atm but when I’m 60 70 with enough credits I’m goin to make one of these thank you. No ladders and max stats , crew capacity is perfect.
Good to see a nice build that doesn't use the Nova Galactic Cabot bridge. The amount of cargo space you have, while still getting 100 mobility is awesome.
but the cabot has stairs! It's so nice lol
Your ship is benefitting from a known bug where the shield bonuses get permanently re-applied when certain things happen (not sure on exact triggers, but it seems if you reload crew in space, load saves in space, change perks in space, etc.)... Unfortunately, the bug can work both ways, so sometimes your shields will actually get stackingly worse. With this build setup, your shields should be 2560, but you have a positive shield bug which has doubled the shield amounts. Here is an example of someone triggering this bug (in the negative variety). th-cam.com/video/R5jgZUFzHQg/w-d-xo.html
The only way to "fix" the bug (whether positive or negative version) is to either use the ship duplication exploit (the duplicate may have the correct amount of shields - I had to do a couple duplications to get one that was at the correct amount), or do a completely new ship build from a new "seed" ship. Just rebuilding the bugged one won't get rid of the bugged shields.
Yeah had the shielded bug many times and it really winds me up.
If ever there is a mod that has a ship showroom, I want you to voice the NPC that gives you a tour😂
This dude builds the best ships…ive built 2 of his ships and they are beastly!
38:40
I'm sure someone said this but I would imagine that the multiple skill-ups in the form of "GRUNT" magazine etc etc have added to the overall values of the build.
Loved the video.
👍
Fantastic build, ,first guide I found that gave me 99% of what I was looking for! Only minor tweak I made was to sacrifice some aesthetics by replacing a couple of the nova thrusters with a little shielded cargo
Another great design, came out with only 1 error for the weapons not assigned as expected. Smooth as silk. I do thi k the glitches radiators look good but prefer to not have glitches stuff as to prevent graphic errors or crashed. May not be a big deal just a preference. I really like the all in one ship builds so you only need to use 1 day to day. Other may be better cruisers until you need to store something...
Thanks again for the excellent builds and walkthroughs.
He’s a 10 but he makes the best fucking ship build guides on TH-cam so he basically a 100
Awsome build man out of all ship builds I have seen I chose yours. The most difficult part for me was trying to fit these parts on the rambler so I could move to the next starport. The errors were driving me crazy. Also the NG 20 landing gear was never included in any of the lists.
Really is an awesome build. I added a further hab on each side and a few embellishments, and she still handles like a dream with 99 mobility. Absolute beast.
Dude, I built a few of your ships and it’s awesome! Gonna build this when I get home from work today. You are super creative! I have no creativity when it comes to ship building. 😅 Keep these ships coming and I’ll keep making them 😆
You sir are a genius and a gentleman ( in whichever order you prefer 😊 ).
Using my drug empire I just purchased my Voyager 3.
Any guide out there that can upgrade the voyager to this one ?
If none, no problem I will just sell some more drugs 😂 ( amps farm for those who are wondering 😎 )
Thanks again for your work putting this wonderful guide tougher, I really appreciate it !
Good luck to you !
Just did this build thank you for step by step! It’s awesome!
I was looking for that one ship that would give me what i was looking for, and you hit it out of the park. Kudos to you and keep up the great work.
I really tried to follow the build it certainly served as a good template appreciate the detailed guide 👌
I end up creating the cargooooo version of this 😅
Built this yesterday (first complete ship build)- Bethesda REALLY need to implement ability to save during ship building!!!
Can't see anything in your crew skills, but this shows C reactor 41 whereas mine is showing 40...?
Took forever to build 😂 but This ship is OP. Thank you so much!
My new Razorleaf kicks ass. Keep up the good work👍🏻
Thanks . I have built a few ships . My jewel of the fleet has two stories . No ladders . Most the habs . 6+ . 100 mobility .
I also used the razor leaf deleted it but I still get the funny dialogue
Also the vanguard obliterators are better dps and you can have 6 too
A very Nice assempling and explaining awsome ship 👍 have to build this one. Thank you 🙏
A brilliant, entertaining video and step by step guide, and an excellent ship! I like the attention to detail and tips along the way. It took me a couple of hours, but I liked it so much I just built your ship for myself (with a couple of minor changes... swapping out the centre circular rad thing for more cargo and bunging on more insta-kill weaponry!). And I subscribed too. Thank you!
I love it. You'd make a great spaceship salesman!
Yo this is great man thank you for your effort, detailed, easy to follow, my brain chooses not to work whenever I get to the build screen so this is golden ❤
Great build and vid. However, I think the shield "bug" is actually in the PC version of the game, allowing you to cumulatively stack shield bonuses to get your shield up to 5k (which is insane btw 🙂) which you can’t do on console. It makes more sense that the most you could ever increase your shield to would be +60% over the base shield value, if you OR your crew have Shield Systems Rank 4 - which over-rides and nullifies any crew with a lower rank of this skill. This is how the other skills work e.g. for weapons damage.
Your vibe is awesome. The enthusiasm is great.
Just finished your build. Very impressive ship.
Congrats. This is my favorite build on the TH-cam 👍🏻
Best starship salesman in the settled systems!
bro i'm beeing hones, if there will be the first alien ship sales i think you would be a perfekt sales man hahahaha
I absolutely would buy this ship after your rewiev xD much respect bro :D
i have built this ship just changed a couple of little things like shielded gama 1010 cargo holds ether side of the front middle landing gear the front lower engine brace ether side with another nova radiator a DC403 reactor and the rear fuel tank is a 900T he3 tank and the wing tips are nova cowling 2L-pf all done in black with yellow trim looks sweet
I'm glad you are enjoying the ship. My favorite anime is Ghost in the Shell love the icon!
Another great ship! Thanks for the comprehensive build guide
If you were an actual starship salesman I'd definitely buy from you
Thank you Champion, awesome tutorial and ship, cheers mate
Just a heads up - You apparently can't do the z-z-escape thing to force-snap things anymore as seen at 34:45 .
Also, the "shopping list" where we're told to pause 89 times is incomplete. You need to buy some NG-20 landing gears, some Horizon Weapon Mounts, and some Nova Radiator - Tops.
Yess dude thankyou! Thats one thing ive always wished i could work around is putting structural pieces clipping within other pieces to have a more streamlined look. Absolutely love the trick you shared at 34.25 with the hopetech radiator things. My ships will become so much nicer.
Your ship looks absolutely awesome. Thanks again
This was my first ship build and it came out great. Only level 47 so I had to get a smaller reacter and grav drive. Ship still rocks, and I look forward to upgrading as I level.
