Hey Cody Watching this like 3 years later. Just wanted to thank you for all of your Starfinder Videos from back then. My friends and I got into the game and we have been having a blast with it and you've helped me and my fellow players.
I would make a goblin starship held together by ducktape and staples and name it The Deathtrap.
*scribbles notes* thank you I needed a ship for a bounty.
The Millennium Falcon is already a thing
I know you are talking about goblins, but I get strong Rick Sanchez vibes from a ship held together by duct tape and staples and garbage
"I'm going to assume that you're making a starship for a level 1 party"
me _making_ _a_ _generation_ _ship_ _that_ _will_ _be_ _the_ _setting_ _for_ _the_ _campaign_ : you could say something like that.
This is an excellent video, though I'm disappointed we never got the combat video. My friends and I have just begun to create characters for the game, so I was hoping to watch it.
so, never made that space combat video, or anything else really for starfinder after this. what happened ?
Yes I would love to see that!
I was wondering the same. I even looked through all of his uploaded videos to see if I could find one on the starship combat. Maybe it was too complicated and he couldn't figure out how it works, or he got tired of Starfinder. Who knows.
Maybe he got busy…?
Yeah what happened? I was looking all over for his Starfinder combat videos
@@FireallyXTheories He got busy making other vids? Isn't this like a job now?
Just getting into Starfinder. What happened to the rest of the videos? You're only at 20 of the promised 28. :(
Guess they werent popular enough.
@@OuterCraft Apparently he didn't count on ever becoming a cult classic, with viewers 5-10 years later cursing the fact they are on the timeline where Firefly was canceled after just one season.
"The days of me not taking you seriously are coming to a middle."
So no combat video still? Such a shame i love your How to series. It would be great if you pick this series back up!
I actually just purchased this game, well technically I just purchased the rulebook, alien archive, and pact worlds. I'm literally waiting for the books in the mail right now. I didn't use your website as I just found you like literally tonight and I literally bought them yesterday but luckily the three books that I bought I found cheaper through eBay but not really that much cheaper I think one of them was $4 cheaper than what was posted so not really much of a difference. As for the other books that I didn't get because of the price I do see they're much cheaper on your site that you posted for the miniatures. So thank you for that and I just want to say thank you for these videos because the group that I have going to be playing in my campaign I'm sending him these videos to watch and to get an idea before the book gets here and having them buried up as much as they can before I can get it because I have to read up on it and move forward. I've seen about 4 view videos and each time I'm more and more excited about playing
I hope you are able to post the next video soon, I have a session pretty soon and I would like to be able to really figure out the combat! Great video though!!!
Oh boy, i wish he would make some more videos on starfinder :/
Another great video, I am really looking forward to your cambat video.
My player's vessel the "Lost Venture" acts like as a home and a character. She's a good vessel but showing her age.
Are you still doing a starship combat video?
Just got my pathfinder group to pick up starfinder. Thanks for making these videos man!
A guide on how to use Roll20 with Starfinder would be great! Not having a compendium makes it tricky to use your previous videos to make an Alien Archive.
Hey man, I know this comment is ancient. I was just wondering how you got on in the end? I’m looking at starfinder for a campaign but obviously things have went online since this comment a lot and as such I’m interested if stuffs been released for this system, online.
@@jimbo1903SW I would highly recommend Foundry VTT for running your tabletop game, and you can look into an add-on called Plutonium (it's a bit less legal so you'll have to do extra steps) which will add basically everything, bestiary, items, etc into your game.
@@nighght2789 A friend recommended the same to me today.
Trying this out the first time. Having some pre-made models might help with groups new to the game, so thanks!
good video but you made a small mistake, at 6:54 +, you dont add the total pilot skill/ranks to AC you only add his ranks, at level 1 a pilots rank is 1 so your AC should only be 12 total 10 + MK1 (+1) + pilot rank 1, if you want to see an example go to page 311 "Kevolari Venture" which is the same type of ship you started with, the ship uses a MK3 (+3 AC), the pilots total skill is 12 but its AC is not 25, the total AC is 14 b/c of its rank 1 from being level 1 pilot, 10 + MK3 (+3) + pilots rank 1, bonus or total to the pilot skill is not added to its AC just the rank
I was using a character with 8 piloting ranks. I understand it is a level 1 ship. The Pilot was loosely based of of my character from the Starfinder Premiere, Tweak.
I'll add that you can see from the crew's names, that I used the entire cast from that adventure.
using a lv 8 character made me wonder, next time you should let us know your using your higher level character lol, i wish the monster book comes out soon and it has a galactic tarrasque hehehehe
Oh no! Terrifying! I'm sure it will have some sort of space dragon.
it's important because it's such a common misconception, people don't read carefully and it's annoying having to explain it to characters.
I was having so much trouble figuring all of this out, thank you so much for this video! helped out a ton!
July 2022 wondering when that "coming soon" Starship combat video is going to drop.
kinda reminds me of how Star Citizen goes about ship parts. I'm already pondering how to adapt my sweet Cutlass Black (Drake>all!!) or the bling blingness of the brand new 890 Jump! Thanks for the video, it's very helpful!
You definitely want to make sure to note the weapons range increments. Yes, I know it's in the starship weapons chart in the build section, but having to flip a book back and forth looking for the range increments is a pain in the butt.
Love the tracks on this channel solid music choice
I kinda like my space ship stuff more sim like but I can appreciate the simplicity of this.
Is the combat video still not made?

This video makes me want to actually look at Starfinder now. Thanks!
Now I just have to get my friends interested lol
I know the feeling.
Glad you dug it!
I brought this game up to the usual gm in my group as a possibility. Thanks for your time and videos.
Sadly my group hated it. Everything is so imbalanced. Dex and Int are just too strong, classes that dont utilize them are inherently weaker. We never even got to space combat before they quit.
Heh. I decided to write down this build on a sheet and label the name "Taking d20 Example Build". A quick-reference if you will. Thanks for the vid. Helps to get an idea with demonstration rather than just reading...
Especially after I designed a Tier 1 Shuttle called "True Blue" and recklessly used that BP to a point I had to go back and recalculate a couple of times.
That is a lot simpler than the Iron Crown Enterprises Space Master rules our group used in a previous campaign.
Would really love that space combat video my friend.
Hey will you do more videos on starships and maybe some covering the themes and how they can be added to the classes? Iv enjoyed your coverage but im still looking for more
Thanks for the starship combat video, much appreciated...
Had a bit of fun with Starfinder, been a bit slow the first 2 sessions since my players and I are learning together. The starship stuff is a blast, and my players are psyched about the opportunity to build their own tier 4 or 5 ship after completing their current mission.
*I started them at level 3 and they'll be 4 after completion of the mission
Where is the 2nd Video?
Legacy races overview please .. I know the new races are more popular but interested regardless and the Starfinder core rulebook is not available for me locally .. I'd have to order online or make a trip to the city .. I'm almost sold .. Your Starfinder vids are the most concise I've found .. Love your channel :)
you still need to make
how starship combat works.
you said you would.
I see you already have a ton of comments about it.
time to get to it.
I agree. This is like only having half a walk through.
I followed along in Fantasy Grounds and attempted to build the same ship. However, with all the same components, my PCU total is 100 with a current of 172. The way I understand PCU guidelines, is that it is ok if you are over your PCU cap so long as you don't power everything up at the same time. So in the case of this build, the Drift Engine is pushing 75 and thrusters are using 60, as long as I don't use both at the same time, I should be ok?
Just to note you can't use both at the same time. In order to switch over to the drift, or vise versa, you have to turn your engines off.
Glad I wasn’t the only one with this question
Are we ever going to get a starship combat video?
I can't believe I missed this video. I bought Starfinder specifically for D20 ship building and combat rules.
Is the starship creation only for a starter ship? I don't like, as a GM, the fact that I need to come up with an RP reason that when they level they magically have access to new things for a ship. I can come up with ideas, but it's kind of weird they don't have a money/credit based system as well
"Do you want to build a starshiiiip?
Come on lets go and plaaay......"
Neat. Useful information
As far as I can tell.. the starfinder space combat was never created ? Or am I just blind?
I am curious if you could do a video on upgrading a pre existing star ship.
I want an opinion on a Medic theme I made for one of my players!
MEDIC
THEME KNOWLEDGE (1ST)
You are an expert in both particular fields of study, and your
passion for the subject shows. In Life Science, you can specialize in bioengineering, biology, botany, ecology, genetics, xenobiology, zoology, or another field of biological science. In Physical Science, you can specialize in astronomy, chemistry, climatology, geography, geology, meteorology, oceanography, physics, or another field of physical science. The DC of skill checks to recall knowledge about your specialty is reduced by 5. Your chosen skill is a class skill for you, though if it is a class skill from the class you take at 1st level, you instead gain a + 1 bonus to checks with your chosen skill. In addition, you gain an ability adjustment of+ 1 to Intelligence at character creation.
QUlCK PIDGIN (6TH)
If you don't share a language with creatures you encounter, you
and the creatures can spend 10 minutes attempting to converse (if
they are willing), after which you attempt a DC 25 Culture check.
If you succeed, you formulate a simple pidgin language that
allows basic communication. You can use the pidgin language
with those specific creatures only, but you gain a +2 bonus to
Culture checks to create a pidgin language with similar
creatures that speak the same language.
MEDICINE BOON [12TH]
Your knowledge grants you mystic power. Choose one 1st-
level mystic spell with some connection to your deity's
portfolio (subject to the GM's approval). If you have
levels in the mystic class, you gain 1 additional 1st-
level spell per day and add the chosen spell to your
list of mystic spells known. Otherwise, you can use the
chosen spell once per day as a spell-like ability.
MASTER MEDIC [18TH]
Your healing accomplishments invigorate you, giving you
renewed purpose and zeal. Up to twice per day, when you
heal an ally significantly in combat you
recover 1 Resolve Point.
A couple Questions: Can retro-thrusters, port/stbd-thrusters, vtol thrusters be added to reduce turning radius and Stopping Distance? Can an electrical system with buses , switches, motorized breaker panels be addded to selectively power certain loads? Does starfinder have rules for depressurization (embolisms & bends), black body radiation (cooling), photo-interactions/radioactive heat transfer to objects and organic matter? (reference? Chris Hadfield interview)
Hey bud! Loving the videos, though they're a few years old. I saw that at the beginning of this video you said you'd be releasing a video on ship combat....yet I can't seem to find it. Have you not done so?
Question: How does a level 1 character have more than one rank in a skill? It does say "ranks," not "piloting bonus."
Pilot Rank is the amount of Skill Points you have in that. An Operative has Pilot as a class skill, so when they put the first skill point into it, instead of it being a +1 it is a +3. And if they have an 18 for Dex, that adds 4 to it, making it a +7. I believe in the video the frame gives them a +1 to Piloting as well to make it a total of +7.
the +3 is in addition to the 1 I think, I believe its 1 rank(class skill) gives u a total of +4 (the rank and the +3 for a total of 4) and that would add up to 8 what he has in the video, but I am assuming that its the total + for the pilot skill.
You’re right. He messed up on that part. It’s the number of ranks you put into it. Not the collective piloting bonus. So at level one you could only have a +1 to your AC as you can only put 1 rank into piloting
@@GimmeAweapon thank you this error almost caused huge issue
Is it possible for you to sometime cover how multiclassing works in starfinder?
Is that video tutorial for running starship combat still on the way? 😊
*Casually makes a Sovereign Class Reaper*
not finding a starship combat video?
"I'm going to assume you're making a starship for a level 1 party"
"our pilot has 8 ranks in piloting"
lol
I know I'm being a nitpicker here, but has anybody else ever looked at the starship scale chart and come to the conclusion that the larger the ship class is, the more and more that the weight and expansion bay capacities seem out of sync? For instance, at almost 3 miles long (15,000 feet long), a colossal starship only carrying 40 fighters and weighing only 8,000 tons seems bizarre (in comparison, a modern aircraft carrier [specifically the Nimitz class] can weigh over 90,000 tons, can carry over 80 aircraft, and is only slightly over 1,000 feet long). Thus while Tiny ships seem right on target, and small ships might be only little light, it almost seems a colossal ship's low weight to high volume ratio would result in a density would be almost as low as aerogel. Overall the ship rules are otherwise great, but they need to both shrink the ships size down and make them heavier to make them more realistic.
What happened to the rest of the videos?
Dude! Thanks for this!
Created an enemy pirate ship crewed by Space Goblins called the BIGG HORSS EETUR. Big, ugly, slow mofo, packed w/ weapons that could screw up your shields & engines. Two shuttles w/mining lasers and bench seating, for carrying boarding parties. May have gone overboard; they keep winning their fights, which is kinda cool as a GM, but frustrating as a player.
could you also go over Hyperlanes its a space opera version of d@d like starfinder is to pathfinder. not that anyone will read this comment anyway. hope you do
I'd love to see how to make this work in Roll20. It's so confusing.
Where is part 2?
My Rulebook says a Coilgun costs 10 BP and a HEML another 14, adding up to 24, not 10 total for weapons. Have they changed that or did you make a mistake here?
Too bad miniature market doesn't ship to canada
hey hey brother! thank u very much.
How many build points for the Galactica?
So i'm trying to do some research before i purchase but how do you do the rules for Reentry in the atmosphere (IE: crashing). I can just guarantee my players would go into combat just above the atmosphere and fall back to the planet if they lose there engines and dont repair in time
How do we get npc crew or deal with a party that doesn't want to pilot and / captain?
These numbers didn’t match up when I actually did the build... granted it is an older video. 😩
are the pilot ranks determined by ranks spent or total bonus from ability and misc mods as well?
We are spending Brittish Petroleum?
Noob question: with the Drift engine saying it needs minimum 75pcu does it take pcu from the power or does it just need to have more than that?
But don't Drift Engines have a PCU minimum of 75 wouldn't we be going over the PCU limit
11:32 - I calculated that you spent 67 BP, not 53.
When next video on starfinder?
Can't find your ship combat video :(
Where is starshiip cooombaaat??
How does the pilot have 8 ranks in piloting? Are they not part of the lvl 1 party?
The Miniature Market link is now broken.
My question is for calculating AC is it pilot RANKS or total pilot skill? the example used in the video is 8 in the pilot ranks box, so is that a lvl 8 character with 8 ranks in pilot or lvl 1 character with 1 rank + guessing 4 dex mod + 3 class training bonus?
It's RANKS not total. So at level 1 you could only have 1 rank in Piloting. I used a character loosely based off of Tweak, my character from the Starfinder Premiere. I see it's causing a few points of confusion for people, but it is indeed ranks.
Yeah a bit confusing, because you said a level 1 crew, but tweak is level 8
You're totally right. What I said in the video is still completely accurate. I just went with an arbitrary # of ranks and it threw a few people off. Wasn't intentional lol... #BlondeMoment
if your party levels up does ship also level up?
Chisake Rei Theoretically yes, but tbh it’s up to the gm
You confused a lot of people by putting an 8th lvl pilot on a 1st level ship lol
ow does your lvl 1 pilot have 8 ranks? Are you adding in Insight bonuses and stuff to the ranks? Cause i thought you could only have as many ranks as you had levels?
he responded earlier; it's a L8 pilot from their playthrough video.
If that is so, then why is he building a Tier 1 ship for a 8th level party?
shain edge because laziness.
No, that's the answer. They made a couple level 8 characters for a playtest, and rather than making new characters or just saying "this is a level 1 ship, So we're gonna put in 1 rank", he did this
Okay, so I have an odd one. I have a game coming up that has 7 players total, but may not have all members attend every game. This is messing with my choice of frame for their ship. The LF, Ex and Tr all have max crew of 6, too small. BUT, the next size up (Dest) has a min crew of 6, too small if there is spotty attendance. Cutting players or requiring attendance are not options for RL reasons. My thought was to give the team an interceptor in a customized 1 expansion slot hanger bay, which they could deploy if everyone attends. Or should I fudge the rules on the Dest so it can be piloted if not everyone attends? Thoughts or feedback from other GMs looking to run SF appreciated.
I would maybe just build a Med size ship with 6 max crew and than give them an expansion bay with crew quarters. But I have been thinking of creating an expansion bay that could be used as a special dock for one tiny/small ship. ( the rules state u can only put a hanger on a large ship size and up) I was thinking that the drawback to having this dock (basically the fighter is just strapped to the side of the ship) is that the piloting rolls to the main ship while the 2 ships are connected would be -2, and the speed would be 1 step down.
You could always use the AI computer as a crew member in "dire" situations in case someone doesn't show
Where can i find the second part?
anyone?

Hey thanks o/
Dude were is the space combat
Building a Level 1 ship puts a level 8 pilot in it....sure
Found this web form a few weeks ago.
Makes a huge difference

He only made videos according to how much they paid him. Just saying.
