Honestly Hopetech is my favorite ship brand, love their cockpits and their habs, and they go great with Taiyo if you’re stacking it twice. And the darkness of the interior is amazing.
The Narwhal Class looks better when you replace the mod habs with HopeTech ones in other words, I also put a HopeTech Reverse Thruster on the front of a Narwhal or Orca III, I would also put a landing bay under those habs (a stack of three if you will, cockpit, hab the landing bay) though at times the game glitches so you have to highlight the whole ship move it then reattach that landing bay at the front to get rid of the glitch (reattaching it on the front again). I also put wing like structures on the sides.
You can put C Class Reactors and Grav Drives on a WatchDog but you have to do it the right way, one of my WatchDog models has a grav drive with multiple attach points and with that I have 4 engines with 3 exhausts each surrounding that grav drive at the back. I managed to install a C Class reactor in the middle of that design.
My HopeTech WatchDog Class Ships: Crimson Nomad (Bright Red, Black and Grey) and Buzz Kill (Yellow and Black) My Narwhal HopeTech Hybrids: Gawr Gura NXSM-620RB, Ceres Fauna NXSM-321, Mori Calliope NXSM-404 (New Experimental Sports Model), G150 Atlantean Narwhal, G150-C Gura Lux 3S (3 Star) and Fembit 9
My favorite pre-fab ship in the game! One of my early captures was the CF Ghost. My Bounty Hunter still uses a (massively upgraded) C-class variant. Ridiculously tanky and can disintegrate smaller vessels with a single barrage of the C-class Particle Cannon. Akila City has never not had the Watchdog. At least in my game.
Yeah, it's very rng where to find it. My first Playthrough it was always available in Hope Town, but this playthrough, I had to wait around to get it to finally spawn in at akila
Truly makes a great small fighter, I always come back to this style to make small fighters out of. Usually very easy to get the ghost, and the ghost 4 is the best one.
@@CrimsonFlyboy you know what's funny, in my three days playing since NG I've been unable to get one. I've been itching to build a bug fighter. But just as well, I've haven't build up the credits yet to support my ship building problem. I've only got one outpost and it's mostly because of it's beauty and not resources, it's home base.
@@CrimsonFlyboy yeah, you'd think so, but so far not many, and when I do see them off planet my auto turrets murder them before I'm l down to one enemy and lower the power to them. No worries though, I actually need a big ship since I only have two small ships, I need an all purpose big ship, battle tank/gun ship/ cargo hauler vehicle. Thanks 👍
@@CrimsonFlyboy Finally got a ghost 4 last night and made a bug fighter, it sucks that since I went through NG again I've lost access to vanguard weapons again, and they were the best for this kind of build. I wish the the weapons carried over, I'm just not ready to grind through that quest again, even though it's a great quest.
Those fuel tanks look really ballsy XD But frankly, you have a tendency to streamline your ship designs, it seems. Personally i understand that, but i also can appreciate some more blocky design language if the ship is supposed to fit a certain idea.
@@CrimsonFlyboy I´m mostly just complaining for the meme after i noticed your tendency. Don´t take it too seriously. If you like them as basically a space shuttle Challenger or Concorde like in space, why not?

Replacing the middle habs with HopeTech habs on a Narwhal Class ship makes it look good.

With the WatchDogs I move the landing gear back by one as well and put the weapon mounts where the landing gear use to be.

I like that one. Have taken a many a ship with that flying a skull and crossbones flag. Good review as always.

When it comes to the WatchDog I replace the control centre with an all in one berth, since I like having a bed to heal in.

Yeah, it's a very easy ship to get and a great one to upgrade. One of hope techs toggle gems

Check the bounty boards, the crimson Ghosts are quite common missions

I do have a habit of trying to un blockify the ship. I promise the next ship I upgrade. I'll keep its blockiness
