Starfield - Disable, Board and Capture Ships With No Suppressors

- Greetings, captains! Today I'm going to show you how to easily disable, board, and capture ships without ship suppressors, otherwise known as EM weapons. If you board ships frequently, then suppressors are a clear necessity. But for those out there, such as myself, who do not board often, here is how I do that using high-level weapons.

It's cheaper to register ships from the ship menu.
Damnit, of course it is! Didn’t even think to compare, thanks man!
Or do the glitched way of selling unregistered ships.
Great video Wizard. I definitely need to work on my piloting skills 😂 But the Aetos is an awesome ship. Now I just have to learn how to fly her like that. Thanks for the boarding info. 😂
Thank you ma’am! I can assist with pilot training, just let me know!
Another great vid :)
Thank you again good sir!
Great Video ❤
Scythe is the best ship to fly !!!! I will be rebuilding it soon thanks to you!!! I lost all my saves so I have started over the razorleaf is my next ship. Thankyou!
I totally agree, the Scythe is an absolute blast!
ALL of your saves? Man that sucks, was it bug-related?
Well now you have the opportunity to build all of the ships in my archive! I have them organized chronologically according to level progression.
@@WizeOldWizard all saves Ouch! But I have not done any missions yet doing a storage base first and just got the mantis quest I I was part of the beta test and it said nope to me so no more of that. Just before I saved and logged off ships would land but the doors would not open and I could not walk up to the pilots seat and get in it would freeze for 5 sec so I turned it off and back on and it took me back to where I was but falling into the map so that last one was no good so I started over. Kinda funny I have had not many issues till now. Hahaha. Yes I will be using your guide on the ships and give you a huge shout out. Thanks man !
@danceswithowls4000 damn! Well fingers crossed I don’t encounter some craziness next time I load up the game.
Spoilers:
That ship come along in the Ryujin quest line. I modified it and it became the cowgirl that cannot be caught. Sold it and moved on, big bug. I dig your ship builds, I see a lot of copy cats out there 😁
Good luck with your channel and fun in game.
Thank you kindly, I am definitely having a great time with it. Great to have you here on this journey. Cheers!
im dead! lol the ship just ghosts you! lol mutiny!
It’s like it already knows how much I’m going to abuse it hahaha
I had the same problem with the Datura…I was told it was because I didn’t kill the girl. I sold mine too ✌️
Interesting… I don’t remember that conversation anymore or what I chose but I recall killing her being the only way to take it. That was many hours of play time ago.
great vid! love all your stuff!
for boarding ships and keeping them. while in the cockpit seat i make that ship my home ship. then, before my ship flys itself back to base i redock and make the normal ship back to home.
there is a bug that u can sell unregistered ships as well. i go to serpentis and grind those ships. they will alwasy come attack you after a minute in each planetary object. just do a clockwise rotation and repeat till board and want to sell gear and ships. :)
Thank you sir! From all reports I’ve seen, captured ships seem to be buggy in general. I may just ending up selling two of these that I captured, replace one with the Dagger from Vulture’s Roost, and then just buy something. I’ll try using them first but time will tell.
@@WizeOldWizard also capturing a dirge III is the best class a in the game atm
Nice! I wasn’t really even concerned with which specific ship I captured, just picked out the highest level ones in the bunch.
Nice..
I use the scythe. But I very sparingly / carefully use the vanguard auto projectors Anything under about level 30 usually winds up getting wasted. Anything over level 30 or so.. and you can carefully nudge the engines down w targeting mode, then board, clear, and take the ship. I gave up suppressors bc the stunned effect doesn’t last long enough.
I’m with you man, I just feel like I’m missing out on damage if I don’t have three groups of PB’s.
I noticed that I do not have to fly my ship to a shipyard technician or outpost to register my ship. When I take over a ship and sit in the captains seat, even before I undock, I open my player console using Tab (PC). Then I click the ship section in the lower left corner. From there I get the option to make it my home ship, then I can register the ship. I always carry some ship parts so I can put them into the cargo hold of the ships I capture. Then once I undock from my former ship, I can use the ship packs to repair the ship I just took over.
Excellent advice! I do not board ships often, in fact very rarely. The main thing that I wanted to showcase in this one was the ability to disable enemy ships even if you have no suppressors. Which works for a player like me but is not ideal for someone that frequently captures ships.
Thanks for watching!
@WizeOldWizard I never equip suppressors and disable ships all the time with my particle beams and ballistic weapons. I wasn't even aware until I watched this video that maybe I was doing it wrong :). BTW, my favorite ship is the Citadel that I learned to make from your tutorial. I love it. I have a few different habs on it and using the higher end reactor, but essentially your build. That is one of the funner parts of the game to me, ship building. Thanks for all you do!
@@NeueRegel9530 hell yeah man glad you like it! I originally built it at level 49 so I had certain parts availability limitations, but I have since given it all the best high-end goodies.
I’m stoked to keep publishing builds because they seem to inspire many more than I ever could have anticipated.
Thank you for watching!
Nice one. I used to love capturing ships, but I kept getting really weird bugs with my captured ships :(
I'm curious if you've tested out some space combat after this new patch. Seems like they increased the challenge pretty much across the board. But the real kicker is when I get 3 high level Starborn. First, they do a lot more damage than they used to, but on top of that, they have a very effective ship disabling attack when they're close enough. When they use that one you can't turn with or without thrusters and you can't accelerate. You're just a sitting duck to be SERIOUSLY pummeled.
I should count to see how long it lasts. It feels like an eternity, but it's probably like 5 seconds or something. The only way I've found to deal that encounter is in a ship like the scythe, because it has the speed to get some distance and the effective range to stay away from the disabling attack. In my larger ships with B Class engines, my 218 top speed isn't enough to keep my distance. I haven't tried something like the Citadel yet. Maybe a Big Tanky with Turrets can handle them.
Yeah I may just end up selling two of these captured ships anyway. I can go and get the Dagger from the Vulture’s roost and just buy two more, we’ll see.
I have not gotten to play the latest patch yet, had to wait for SFSE to be updated. I see that they released that update today though so I may get in-game tonight. Still have footage for three videos to edit too though so idk if I’ll really be able to play until those are out.
Ive been leery of "capturing" any ship since I have so many odd bugs from doing so. It usually either causes you to start appearing at New Atlantis, no matter where you were docked/landed at, or all/some of the terrain disappearing at New Atlantis. The only fix? NG+
That's on a PC too, so I have no idea if that is commonplace on console or not. I'm curious though Wiz, are you console or comp?
Definitley looking forward to seeing your new build.
I’m on PC, I just prefer using an Elite controller because of the paddles.
I have been leery of it as well, and even more so now. I may just sell two of these, claim the Dagger and Prison Shuttle, and just buy two to fill out my fleet
@@WizeOldWizard Yep, I have only worked with "gifted" and purchased ships. I even started a new play through, took out an Ecliptic Claymore hoped on board and flew to Stroud/Eckland to "register" the ship. Boarded and appeared in New Atlantis with part of the terrain missing. Thankfully, I reloaded a Save file from an hour earlier and the bug hadn't corrupted that characters save files. As had happened on another character that I ended up deleting.
Would you mind going into detail about the final weapon loadout for the aetos III? I'm trying to upgrade and getting errors. Not sure what I'm doing wrong
My guess is you may not be deleting all the old weapons. Unless your error is just that you need to assign the new weapons to weapon groups.
Delete every weapon except for the Vanguard Obliterators. You should have six of those. Then you want to equip 4x PBO-175’s and 3x Exterminator 95mev Autos. Stroud-Eklund has the Exterminators and PBO’s. Once you have those attached, assign them to weapon groups and you’re done!
Another option is, instead of the three Exterminators, run 6x Vanguard Hellfire Autocannons. They would be perfect for the Aetos. Gotta get a little closer to your targets but once their shields are down it’s like auto-delete. Check out the combat footage from the Aegis build…
Fixed! Thanks for the quick reply
@slaughterhouseboy9809 you’re welcome! Which loadout did you choose?
@WizeOldWizard The exterminators. I sacrificed a bit of mobility for some extra cargo space so the longer range weapons seemed like the best fit.
@slaughterhouseboy9809 you’re absolutely right, better to maximize your damage range potential in that case.
The Datura did the same thing to me. It kept flying off on it's own after I redesigned it and renamed it. I guess it has some sort of fail safe on it to keep from being modified. lol
It happened again after I built over one of the ships that I captured in this video. I’m going to show everyone how I fixed that. The Datura was not fixable hahah.
Did I hear you say Aetos 3? Does this mean we’ll get another Aetos upgrade video?
You did, and no, I briefly summarized the upgrades that I made on Aetos and Citadel in this video, because they are just reactor and weapon upgrades.
Now the Peregrine does need a revisit. Gonna do that before I enter the Unity.
@@WizeOldWizard nice. Ok yeah I heard those upgrades now.
Been loving the builds and videos man. Keep them up. Even if they’re not build videos, just enjoying your content.
@r6TrdSlow definitely have more coming soon. I know it’s been about a month but I needed some time to think and record, so I’m queued up to get out three videos back to back to back. The third will be the Vulcan ship build. I thank you for your patience!
@@WizeOldWizard of course man! All of that stuff takes time. And especially with the quality of the content. Not to worry on the time frame man. Take as much time as you need. If you get burnt out on it by trying to do too much too fast, then we get less content long term haha
@r6TrdSlow you’re absolutely right and I want to avoid that as well. I’ve also been thinking maybe a mic upgrade before I do my next voiceover would be a good move.
I find it hard to board ships because my auto fire weapons usually just destroy the ship .
They tend to unless you have enough finesse. It also helps when the target is near your level. But sometimes you get a crit and no amount of finesse can prevent that.
You could power down your Turrets when you're going for a capture. Definitely would add another element of tricky timing.
Made a nice robot ship at newhomestead and it took off and left Vasco and I there lol never found it, must became self aware lol
Beep boop gotta scoot lol
I sort of did look like the beginning of a Borg Ship. Probably some L.I.S.T. out there getting assimilated. Resistance is futile.
I know you have to know that all you have to do is lower the power level of the weapon you are using to disable engines. So there is a new bug on registering from the select menu? I been lucky then so far and never had a problem with it but I do usually sell them straight away or for the ones I want to keep I make a single change in ship builder and rename it so I don't end up with " Pirate Ship".
Power level does not affect damage output on any weapon, and in the case of Auto-type weapons, it does not affect the rate of fire either. Non-auto weapons’ rate of fire is affected by power level, so in that case it could be of benefit.
@@WizeOldWizard I don't know about that man I mean many times I have accidently destroyed ships and then reset encounter lowered the power level so I could chip away at the engine health bar without one shotting it. I think also the armor does not work right on ships because sometimes it only registers the shield at 1600 and sometimes it adds the armor to the shield so you end up with 3200. The game fools you one second to the next especially with ship encounters. I have popped in with my decked out ship and been blown away in 4 seconds before giving absolutely no time to react on very hard and then walking through them like nothing on the second try not even dropping shield below 92%. Its a glitchy game but I'm addicted to it lol. I love the ships you are making and hope you keep doing them. You got my sub for sure.
@Nofilter1976 awesome man thank you! There are many factors that could affect TTK, and several bugs which could contribute to inconsistencies with it. The weapons’ power is supposed to work that way, and from my experience they do. Are you on PC or console?
@@WizeOldWizard PC and use Xbox controller. I don't use and consol commands or glitches because it is my personal opinion that they screw up the game. level 157 I think on newgame 13 I believe with over 600 hrs. Still finding things out all the time that I had no clue about so feel free to pass on any info you can.
It’s a Datura bug 🫠. Bad luck to choose that ship to get Beeeg storage
Thankfully I do some things right and made a save before building it, so I didn’t lose credits. Still built the Slab, just over one of the captured ships from this video. Build guide will be uploaded soon!
