Don’t forget y’all you can’t have more than 3 crew members no matter how big your ship is unless you unlock Ship Command form the social tree. It’s one of the final tier skills so it’ll take a while to get
@@devgrugamingpassenger loads are separate from crew manned positions! If you check your ship tab and then crew assigned it will highlight crew with active skills that are assigned to the ship. The follower/companion doesn't always have to be assigned to have skills activate, but in my experience they have to be assigned to the ship for ship skills to activate 100% of the time. My testing with this isnt comprehensive as I don't crew more than 4 and have up to 7 haha
Quick tip for fixing “part not connected” error: if you double click a ship part it will select the entire ship and everything attached to it, if you move the ship whatever piece isn’t snapped will stay in place.
I got the Freestar Ranger ship, placed 2 particle cannon and 2 electron cannons on it, takes 6 energy, which is enough to have full engine, full shield. and full particle weapons, with 3 energy free (if the robot is a crew) that you can place in the EM weapon or grab drive. recently replaced the electron 30 to electron 50, which increased the total energy to 8, but does double the damage
for anyone having the same issue I had where it would say one module is not fitted triple-click any part and it will select all and glow red other than the part in question, You can paint the whole ship in one go with this method
I personally love when It's just one ladder up and down. Though I found it troubling how tricky that was to achieve on my own Razor Leaf build this past week. So many combinations of habs seem to default to other configurations. I really wish we could simply tell the ship builder which wall, floor, & celling spot we'd like the connection to be made
Agreed. They talked a lot about how much playtesting and polishing was done, but the game is missing soooooo many obvious quality of life features. Its a great game dont get me wrong, but it just makes the bizzare friction and design decisions even more glaring.
The reason it has issues is that the game does not want to make more than 1 connection point when you a hab or something, it has 1 point where it connects to the other hab and if you build by dragging a part it will put the connection point where it wants often not where you want it. You can basically force it to connect in a specific area by building it in an order that allows you to connect habs deliberately where you want them to attach and connect; If you hover over the node you want a door/ladder hit G and build a new hab that way that exact point you hovered over is the point the door/ladder will connect, it can be a bit confusing but once you get your head around it you will have an easier time. Just remember if you need to drag a part instead of G attaching it or you move it after placing it your connection point will change.@@masterpainter78
@@e2rqey Totally agree. Its almost like the Devs see a QoL problem and say "nah, the mod community will fix it". I cant wait for the mod community to optimise ship building.
I wish we could do a quick view of what each hab looks like inside so I can decide what option A and B looks like. Instead of picking one and then exiting and then going to your ship and see what it looks like
Star eagle is amazing, but takes a lot longer to get. Already have a build done for it. But wanted to release these builds in series from starter to better ships. But can upgrade the star eagle in a similar way
@@TagBackTv any ETA on that Star Eagle build video? Cuz I'm halfway through the rangers quest line and I'm gonna mod the crap out of the Eagle when I can lmao
In case anyone was wondering: StorMax 60 Cargo Holds requires Starship Design Lv1+, can substitute the 50s until then (only mentioning this in case anyone - like myself - missed that whole thing when watching the video when he highlighted them) xD
Another option would be to find a ship called War Horse in one of the ship vendors (in my case I found it in Neon). It has similar perforemance as the star eagle but you can just buy it right away.
I am finding out that it really is better to have role specific ships. If you want a assign a crew to a route for your bases then make it a cargo type of ship. If you want a high-performance ship with lots of firepower for Space Combat then make one. Its so easy to change ships. Why have 5 general purpose ships when you can have 5 specific purpose ships that you will actually use?
Thick. Yes. Maybe a little too thick? You could get by fine with less cargo, which would reduce the mass, and improve mobility, and hopefully Jump distance. And PARs are definitely the way to go.
Agree with this comment. I think "The most powerful Class A" title for this video is misleading. It's a well rounded ship sure, but a mobility of 41? With only 3k cargo to show for it? Jack of all trades master of none I guess.
Hey Tag, I don't know if you've done the Vanguard storyline yet but if not that's okay I'm not gonna spoil anything. To get to the point of my comment, there is a flight simulator involved and any ships you destroy count as actual ships and progress any skills that require you to destroy ships. A bonus is that you also still get XP, it would be a terrible xp farm tho, 10 xp per ship.
Guys start from the landing bay and work up to the cockpit. The reason for the pathing to cockpit error is the default height of the ship (your ship tailgate needs to be green)
You can transfer all your loot to the ship's cargo bay anyway, so that's less useful unless you want to hold specific weapons separate from your general cargo.
@ShneekeyTheLost early is the key here my dude, and if you're like me you gonna waste lots of credits on building cargo plus the engine Just heads up for fellow hoarders
Yeah no thats bad advice right now. Any and all containers on the ships, except for the cargo hold, current have a chance to just... lose shit you put in them
Something that should be noted, some components are level locked, I initially tried following your guide at level 8. I could not figure out why some of the items you used were not available to me, after some trial and error and a bunch of Googling I discovered the level lock issue. I didn't revisit until level 14 and by then the parts were unlocked. The two main components I was unable to access were the Grav drive, and the largest storage modules.
@@TrisFireblood he specifically said to do this at your own outpost landing pad with builder, which is where i was. There were a couple things that were just grayed out, because i didnt have starship design, but some stuff wasnt even on the list.
I’m excited to see what you come up with for the Star Eagle. It’s my favorite ship! So seeing it being pushed to the limit will be my guide for my current play through and future play throughs
I like to use Shroud ships as a base myself. Not because I like them but more because angry zelots keep trying to kill me and I keep taking their stuff. They've got really nice engines.
I did some quick math. Those Disruptors that came on the Razorleaf are nice, but replacing those 2 (if you don't have access to them) with 4 of the Electron Beams almost doubles your damage output. If you can't do that, I would supplement the Disruptors with either two Electron Beams, or Missiles. Whatever works best for whoever reads this. I'm personally still debating on which route I wanna go.
Every part has connection points, there are 2 types of these, one serves only for connections, the other can also serve as a pass through, allowing you to actually walk or climb through that point when you are inside the ship, these points are represented by a small arrow ("" / "^") on the connection that shows up when you are selecting the part from the parts list. Now in order to solve the problem you had with not having a path from the landing bay to the cockpit, you only need to pay attention at where those arrows are on the landing bays and cockpits and to make sure that you have those arrow connections going all the way from the landing bay to the cockpit and also that the landing bay doesn't have it's pass through connection made through the hab with the docking port (that was what was causing your initial problem) since most habs can't support more than 1pass through connection with the exterior.
Ok there are plenty of comments on how to tell what parts are still unattached but nobody explaining how tf to make them attach. So after you select the ship as a whole, drag it away, then simply drag the unattached parts back into place. Similar to the landing bay bug just have to wiggle stuff around a bit lol.
1st: "Thx a lot for this amazing guide!" Maybe I found a fix for the "path to cockpit" problem. I had a massive struggle with the connection, till I double clicked the ship (cockpit). Normally this marks the whole ship, but in my case it only marked the cockpit and the front parts that were connected. I draged the whole part away and put it back. It connected perfectly and error was gone. It's just a guess, but try double-clicking the cockpit to show the connected parts. GL & HF on your adventures!
This video just helped me a lot in designing a ship that I really want because every ship that I bought always has something missing and it’s driving me nuts
2:15 not sure I agree with that, I rebuilt my Mantis on Neon first and then again at my outpost, there were a few more option on the outpost but also missing ones, like the storage, maybe they changed it, but I will be checking out the parts at every city and shipyard I go to from now on.
4hrs later. Much more difficult on Xbox. No hover option where they tell you the best fit. The game should point out exactly what's wrong, with Arrows! 😂 I had the ship built in less than an hour and spent the rest of the time trying to figure out what was wrong. Ended up being a missile launcher too close to another. That much storage is exactly what I needed. And how come you can't build from scratch. Can't wait to take out enemy ships! Thanks for the vid! New to your channel. Your vids have been very helpful so you earned my sub.
9:22 the error is actually with this particular bay, that needs to be attached to the same level as the cockpit or in a ladder bay that can reach the cockpit. I've had the same issue.
I was about to throw my controller across the room, because there was one single unattached ship module. But then I noticed, I forgot to delete one single item from the previous ship. Your instructions were all over the place but thank you for this ship.
Damn dude i knew your voice sounded familiar lmao. I used to watch you all the time with rdr2 years ago! Glad i found your channel again. Def subbing this time. Love your stuff man, no bs
Bruh you had me thinking this ship would be quick and easy to get the way you said you can get it early, stayed up till 5am playing to finish the quest line. Great quest tbf but i though it would’ve taken an hour to unlock. Didn’t even get to play with it as I’m heading to bed just after getting it. Thought I’d leave this comment to advise some other souls
So many directions to go in this game, it’s been hard to know what direction to head! I’m doing the freestar rangers quest line right now, got the mantis data pad I think during one of those quests. Probably do that after
Personally I shy away from the 1x1 and 3x1 options, since the 2x1's seem superior (in terms of passenger/crew stations, and utility). Science + workshop/engineering bay give you most workbenches, and the control room (or whichever has the 4 crew stations) is great too. Everything else, for me, is optional or up to your role play (usually living quarters, or captain's cabin work). The extra modules just add mass and make the ship more confusing to navigate. For a class A, I like to keep the mass under 1k, otherwise the speed and maneuverability suffer which makes later 3/4 v 1 space battles tougher since you're a sitting duck compared to lighter/faster ships.
I wish you could rotate the 2×1s 90 degrees. I now have 3 1×1s due to the shape of my ship. And regarding manouverability, definitely get the fast engines. I get up to about 250 speed without boosting, and about 1000 with boosting. Its way too fast for enemies to tail you.
I found that the cockpit error from building was because we had the original ship still standing by, so it was using the original cockpit to our new landing gear
Have to say Thanks to you Tag using this in my lets play and am going to give you credit for it as well may also be stealing your other designs but will give you credit and link to your videos on them.
there are so many errores and jumps to where us uddenly have a different part in place i can't fallow. Like at 12:32 u soddenly have living quarters there when thats not what we put there at begining. It was a workshop. So now i have no clue what is where
Adding a 3rd weapon like a pulse weapon or missle launcher would greatly enhance damage, as it can be powered with one power line and then deliver some burst damage when needed. The ship is never an all in one: if you fit a lot of cargo/living you loose mobility, since you not only get heavier but due to that also need heavier grav drive, engines and extra landing gear. Still a nice compact build that avoids the utilarian look with only a couple of structure parts, good work. I like front entrance more though, since it gets your right to the cockpit.
Love the way the game allows you to mix and match parts, its a pain to do however if you don't have access to the parts you want, I've seen ships from other "space" themed games except for Star Trek ships since there isn't a "round" module to play around with but I think the "Intrepid" shaped star trek ship can be built in this game, but I'd be waiting a looong time to do it since you need credits for all those parts 😁
ya want it smooth so all part on mine are out site and open view for fire and spotting all with in 22f 21s 22r specks a parts only and it can be smaller
soo alot has changed. i followed the whole tutorial, and built the same ship, ty. great vid. there was a small update. please verify this. I was not able to add the spark 750 supressor. it wasnt even an option, and i dont know who sells it.. hrmm grr..
Word of advice to anyone having issues with cockpit, landing bay and docking bay; start building from the landing bay first, place your landing bay first, than connect any hab to your cockpit. Than Place your docking bay below it. And from there, it should be good to freely build.
Awesome video, and timely! I got my Mantis last night. About three battles in, I immediately saw the rebuild potential in it. It's easy on the eyes too. I searched for anyone doing a rebuild or even an upgrade, but came up with very little. Now I have your video to work off of. Thank you. I wish we had a few steampunk pieces.
Do pirates still run away from the Razorleaf after you modify it? That’s the only thing I don’t like about it, but I haven’t modified it yet. If so, I may modify something else.
I'm Still having problems with the landing bay not being connected to the cockpit, I have tried to reconnect everything and it still says "cockpit cannot be reached from landing bay" is there any other suggestions to fix this??
EDIT: Found out what it was. I had the Razorleaf's original fuel tanks - switching to the M20 Ulysses as shown in the video corrected those numbers 👍 Strange.... I did this exact build but I'm showing 18LY on the jump distance instead of 20 🤔 Do you have Astrodynamics? (Not that's it's a big deal, but just wondering if I did something wrong or am missing something we're not seeing here)
You said Stormax 50 in the video but video showed you added the Stormax 60 instead? Plus it appears a some of these pieces like the Stormax 60 and Taiyo 2x1 science bay arent available in the base configuration of your outpost landing pad. I dont seem to have them at least.
3x PLA turrets + 3x PLA shooters Class C, kills anything in game in less than 5 seconds. It shreads a lvl 75 Wight III in 5 seconds almost before you can even target it. Turrets are OP. Way better than missiles that require a target lock. Get any high tier reactor 40 easily, just land on lvl 75 moons and wait for NPC ships to land ( non bounty hunter, non Freestar, non damaged as those are dialogue quest ships cant be stolen, all others can ) Good ships are rated at III, like UC Reef III, Pirate Wight III, etc best guns, best reactor 40, use them as base builder for your ship to save money. Cargo space you dont need, less than 1000 and the smallest shielded bay is enough. Use your base as ship storage * Warning, always unassign crew if you are going to capture an NPC ship that has less than your current ships crew slots, or you will lose crew. So before you capture, go into menu, unassign crew, capture ship, fly to a ship builder terminal, change to a bigger ship, reassign crew to that. Also always modify ships before assigning crew to it.
I didn't build off to the ship of the razorleaf I just add straight from the landing gear work fine for me just didn't have all the cool parts. Wish I know how still like level 2 just want to play with the build options
The max size of a ship is 40m long....not sure about width, but its probably the same. Also theres a small issue with having 1 ship with massive cargo and your other ships with small cargo when switching home ships. They really need to have a manual switch cargo option so it doesnt auto transfer between ships.
It would have been nice to see the ship in flight, and how much you spent. The mobility seems a little low. But this is a good explorer ship if you acaid combat
Imo we should be possible to get more then one docker which I'd be doing if irl just to be able to dock disregarding where docker is on whatever we want to dock. But it's a game and saves weight and we can still dock even having this in mind. And we don't have to manually dock and land anyway, sadly, so it doesn't matter. 😔
FOR ANYONE WHO IS STILL STRUGGLING WITH THE LOADING BAY THING LISTEN: press select all on your cockpit and then slide whatever’s not selected to the side then connect it back.
I hate having my door in the back. You always have to walk around the back of the ship to enter. I put my door right in front so at my outpost the door is closest to me (in case I am loaded down with items)
I'm 20 hours in and i haven't progressed in the main story past Mars yet lol now I'm gonna build a badass ship that can hold all the crafting materials that Sarah is forced to go along with 😂

And regarding manouverability, definitely get the fast engines. I get up to about 250 speed without boosting, and about 1000 with boosting. Its way too fast for enemies to tail you.
thank you so much I was trying to find videos to build a ship and your video popped up while I was scrolling so thank you so much.
Thank you for this, it gave me the confidence to customize the razorleaf to my liking (im a loot hoarder) and set it to my favorite colors
I don't have the option for the Taiyo science lab, do I need to do something to unlock it?
Amazing video tag!! I can tell you put a lot of work into it and the build looks amazing!
Thank you very much for the advice. I learned to make ships from this video. 👍🏾
I found that the cockpit error from building was because we had the original ship still standing by, so it was using the original cockpit to our new landing gear
Nah I delete the whole thing it was still giving me that error. Literally just Bethesda chaos
@@lonr373 i cant fix the error :S
@@lonr373 it was because the cockpit was a notch too high. I fixed his build.
Ramps way better in the front my opinion just more convenient
Love your ship build tutorial. Thank you!
I want to build my very own USS Defiant, I love that craft from DS9.
This looks great! Please release the star eagle one soon, I am interested to see what I can do with that 29 power reactor on it.
Hey thanks for the video, I going to try and build this at the Demos station.
Just stumbled on this badboy it's already better than the beginner ship
Have to say Thanks to you Tag using this in my lets play and am going to give you credit for it as well may also be stealing your other designs but will give you credit and link to your videos on them.
Just got the razorleaf and it been sick so far 👍(only level 10)
there are so many errores and jumps to where us uddenly have a different part in place i can't fallow. Like at 12:32 u soddenly have living quarters there when thats not what we put there at begining. It was a workshop. So now i have no clue what is where
Been waiting for the Star Eagle upgrade! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
What did he add to his ship before putting on the new stuff?
Adding a 3rd weapon like a pulse weapon or missle launcher would greatly enhance damage, as it can be powered with one power line and then deliver some burst damage when needed. The ship is never an all in one: if you fit a lot of cargo/living you loose mobility, since you not only get heavier but due to that also need heavier grav drive, engines and extra landing gear. Still a nice compact build that avoids the utilarian look with only a couple of structure parts, good work.
I like front entrance more though, since it gets your right to the cockpit.
I'm apprehensive about fucking up my Razor Leaf but you've certainly made a great argument for it
Sweet version of the Razorleaf! I'll have to give it a try 😊
"early game" adds a ton you dont have a vailable early game, great video...
Love the way the game allows you to mix and match parts, its a pain to do however if you don't have access to the parts you want, I've seen ships from other "space" themed games except for Star Trek ships since there isn't a "round" module to play around with but I think the "Intrepid" shaped star trek ship can be built in this game, but I'd be waiting a looong time to do it since you need credits for all those parts 😁
ya want it smooth so all part on mine are out site and open view for fire and spotting all with in 22f 21s 22r specks a parts only and it can be smaller
soo alot has changed. i followed the whole tutorial, and built the same ship, ty. great vid. there was a small update. please verify this. I was not able to add the spark 750 supressor. it wasnt even an option, and i dont know who sells it.. hrmm grr..
Is there a written version of this anywhere? I have a bit of a learning disability and having it written out would be a huge help.
great video, next time also give us an inside
tour
Word of advice to anyone having issues with cockpit, landing bay and docking bay;
start building from the landing bay first, place your landing bay first, than connect any hab to your cockpit. Than Place your docking bay below it. And from there, it should be good to freely build.
This worked for me, thank you so much!
QUESTION :
12:08...Does The Added Structure ...Have any Function or is it just for looks ?
I had no idea what to do to upgrade , thanks this gives me a direction to follow
I love the part when he says * So I decided to add 4 cargo holds*
Tried this build last night and couldn't save due to size limit error? Anyone else getting this?
Awesome video, and timely! I got my Mantis last night. About three battles in, I immediately saw the rebuild potential in it. It's easy on the eyes too. I searched for anyone doing a rebuild or even an upgrade, but came up with very little. Now I have your video to work off of. Thank you.
I wish we had a few steampunk pieces.
Do pirates still run away from the Razorleaf after you modify it? That’s the only thing I don’t like about it, but I haven’t modified it yet. If so, I may modify something else.
It's really not a big deal. It happens occasionally.@@flyfishizationjones4940
@@flyfishizationjones4940 Yes they still run away after modifying it.
I did something similar yet totally different. Gotta love it
Kick ass build. Nice work
I like it. I did something similar, made a thicc razorleaf. Might try this out
The Razor leaf also has a perk where pirates will flee because they think you are the mantis
Is it possible to make this build or similar without having set up an outpost?
They made ship building stupid messy.
I'm Still having problems with the landing bay not being connected to the cockpit, I have tried to reconnect everything and it still says "cockpit cannot be reached from landing bay" is there any other suggestions to fix this??
Having same issue, tried different modules and moving everything around but keep getting that error message no matter what I do.
2hrs later got a completely different ship but this helped a lot😂
Please make a video like this for C class! “The Most OP Build in the Game” type video 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Why does my razorleaf look completely different than your original? Did you already mod it before starting the video? It's not even the same color.
Doing this ASAP! Could we get a B and A class upgrade with this ship?
EDIT: Found out what it was. I had the Razorleaf's original fuel tanks - switching to the M20 Ulysses as shown in the video corrected those numbers 👍
Strange.... I did this exact build but I'm showing 18LY on the jump distance instead of 20 🤔 Do you have Astrodynamics?
(Not that's it's a big deal, but just wondering if I did something wrong or am missing something we're not seeing here)
You said Stormax 50 in the video but video showed you added the Stormax 60 instead? Plus it appears a some of these pieces like the Stormax 60 and Taiyo 2x1 science bay arent available in the base configuration of your outpost landing pad. I dont seem to have them at least.
Great video! When will you be making the video for star eagle? Think im gonna wait for that one since im currently using it.
they should add doors that when you get close it opens automatically
For the life of me I can't get the dock and cockpit errors to go away. The errors just won't clear.
thanks for the tutorial
Can't wait to see what you did with your Star Eagle.
I dont have some of those parts unlocked, how do you get them? Is it tied to base level or certain skills?
3x PLA turrets + 3x PLA shooters Class C, kills anything in game in less than 5 seconds. It shreads a lvl 75 Wight III in 5 seconds almost before you can even target it. Turrets are OP.
Way better than missiles that require a target lock.
Get any high tier reactor 40 easily, just land on lvl 75 moons and wait for NPC ships to land ( non bounty hunter, non Freestar, non damaged as those are dialogue quest ships cant be stolen, all others can )
Good ships are rated at III, like UC Reef III, Pirate Wight III, etc best guns, best reactor 40, use them as base builder for your ship to save money.
Cargo space you dont need, less than 1000 and the smallest shielded bay is enough. Use your base as ship storage
* Warning, always unassign crew if you are going to capture an NPC ship that has less than your current ships crew slots, or you will lose crew. So before you capture, go into menu, unassign crew, capture ship, fly to a ship builder terminal, change to a bigger ship, reassign crew to that. Also always modify ships before assigning crew to it.
I didn't build off to the ship of the razorleaf I just add straight from the landing gear work fine for me just didn't have all the cool parts. Wish I know how still like level 2 just want to play with the build options
Looking forward to that Star Eagle build!
can't wait for your eagle star vid!
Great video...thanks for this.
Thanks for the video! Could you please tell me in which city (in which spaceport) I can assemble your version of the ship?
What level are you when making this? Matters to have parts to even show up for people.
If you don’t like ladders boost through the openings. Way faster than the animation.
The max size of a ship is 40m long....not sure about width, but its probably the same. Also theres a small issue with having 1 ship with massive cargo and your other ships with small cargo when switching home ships. They really need to have a manual switch cargo option so it doesnt auto transfer between ships.
Nope it’s 80 m
It would have been nice to see the ship in flight, and how much you spent. The mobility seems a little low. But this is a good explorer ship if you acaid combat
Imo we should be possible to get more then one docker which I'd be doing if irl just to be able to dock disregarding where docker is on whatever we want to dock. But it's a game and saves weight and we can still dock even having this in mind. And we don't have to manually dock and land anyway, sadly, so it doesn't matter. 😔
FOR ANYONE WHO IS STILL STRUGGLING WITH THE LOADING BAY THING LISTEN: press select all on your cockpit and then slide whatever’s not selected to the side then connect it back.
Looks pretty wicked!
I hate having my door in the back. You always have to walk around the back of the ship to enter. I put my door right in front so at my outpost the door is closest to me (in case I am loaded down with items)
I'm 20 hours in and i haven't progressed in the main story past Mars yet lol now I'm gonna build a badass ship that can hold all the crafting materials that Sarah is forced to go along with 😂
@TagBackTV What level are you during this video? I’m still missing a number of these ship parts
