ALSO: when you steal a ship you can actually use the ship menu to register it/make it your home ship but you'll still want to go to a vendor to modify or sell it! Make SURE your Pirate Ship has personality with our ship building guide -> th-cam.com/video/TgID8gMClGk/w-d-xo.html
I wonder how cyberrunner is gonna be different than a pirate. Can't wait to see if you are gonna do such a build. I would really enjoy being a robinhood in space, being a treat to power and big corporations.
Been watching you guys since 2014 skyrim. I still remember when I tweeted you guys about my idea for a serial killer build for fallout 4, then you guys made it a couple weeks later I LOST MY SHIT, really happy to see you guys making content for Starfield im loving the game so far keep it up!
Since Skyrim? It IS Skyrim... just in space. Dragonborn/Starborn, Star powers/shouts, Word walls/Starborn temples. EDIT: I know what you meant, I was just being silly. Also, for the record, Skyrim is one of my favorite games, and I also have a Skyrim logo tattoo on my arm.
This is the one build I am most excited to try. I love the idea of having a pirate crew that goes around pillaging ships and going down more of a “social” build that intimidates and manipulates people and makes a lot of money. I also love the idea of destroying those that try to fight back with a shotgun. Just a very evil and remorseless character.
If you have a ship with a bunch of cargo space as your home, as your raiding ships you can sit in the pilot seat of stolen ship, undock then re dock and all of the items you may have missed.. although along with very low priced miscellaneous items although you can easily sell them
I'm also expecting to have some sort of new Vegas bounties with a bounty specific questline. So far from what I've seen bounty hunters are more general quests so having an actual story for the bounty hunter would be nice
This is so much more rewarding than a thief playthrough in TES, I want to try a long haul style trucker build first but pirate will be my first negative karma build.
This is exactly what I was planning on doing. Not sure though since I would rather be actually flying more than it seems you do when traveling around so I'm still kind of back and forth. Will very likely do a playthrough in this style too though and then probably one as a bounty hunter
I'm wondering how viable it would be to be a privateer- piracy but not going after the "little guy", instead piracy versus the official transports of a big nation that can actually afford to absorb the loss. More morally grey and less "I ruined his finances and then killed him too"
@@JB-xl2jc Mission boards love to send you after pirates. Take out their engines and steal their contraband. I have been doing it a lot ever since I boarded and kept a Crimson Fleet Ghost II. Now with more engines, lasers and missiles, I'm still using the same ship to take them down. I end up with so much contraband and gear that I have been having to wait 24 hours at least once every time I try to go sell it because all of the vendors in New Atlantis run out of money.
@@JB-xl2jclike the guide describes you can succeed in piracy without harming anyone if your intimidation is successful. If you intended to spare the innocents though, you'll have to run away from anyone who fights back. It seems like it would easier to align yourself against either the UC or Freestar but there are opportunities to hit big unaligned targets like GalBank freighters.
I started my first playthrough as a typical goody two-shoes, joining the UC, spying for SysDef, and going by the book, but I am SO excited for my second playthrough where I can turn to a life of piracy. It's just so enticing in this game.
My first playthrough I'm going ranger, usually I go for the big government sys def type factions, but rangers for my first, then pirate, then sysdef, I love this game
well when sysdef got me stealing and asked me to spy the fleet i knew i was a pirate there hahaha but my roleplay is more a smugler pirate... i still need to play as a bad pirate whitout the constelation buddies... they hate when u go full jolly roger
If you complete "Lair of the Mantis" and use the ship I've had pirates and spacers become terrified referring to me as "The Mantis" its super cool xool for Roleplaying. It even works if you completely modify and rename the ship!
I renamed mine "Mantis Shrimp". It will be my main and my RP is set towards a Hon solo type story but unlike Hon I will run the factions not run from them.
I can already tell that the bounty system will be the first major system that modders fully overhaul and in the process make it a must have mod for all playthroughs.
I started playing today and decided to go for a true bounty hunter build. I chose Introverted for a trait because my bounty hunter works solo. I'm kind of basing him off of Boba Fett. But I'm also playing a traditional bounty hunter to get a feel for the game. Learn it and experience it before I delve into a pirate.
It is also possible to be a "good" pirate. Most Spacer, Ecliptic and Va'ruun ships carry at least 1 contraband. I've found 2 on a Class-C CF Wight - not to mention the amount of loot from the crew in the form of guns. So, if you want a taste of the pirate life, but your sensibilities are keeping you from going full Jolly Roger, there's at least that option.
Giving anything 10/10 makes it overrated and turns people away from games. This means that you think that it has 0 flaws, none. This is why the 1 - 100 system is better, where you have leeway for rating. The game is phenomenal but not a 10/10 by far.

Hey Micheal & Scott, big fan Sub! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻 Can’t wait for your Starfield RP guides! Unfortunately I’m solely a PlayStation gamer so I won’t be able to enjoy the RP’s myself. 😅😅 Hearty handshake to you both guys! 🤝🏻🤝🏻😁😁
I still remember the Arcane Warrior days way back when. Thanks for all the amazing content over the years. I hope yall enjoy the hell out of this game. I can't wait to give it a shot once I finally upgrade my PC in a couple of months. Can't wait for the inevitable ronin Revan type or Jedi inspired build. Or maybe something based on Dune, idk.
I also need to upgrade my PC to play the game, nice to see that I'm not the only one with this kind of struggle. Hang in there, man, you're not alone, lol
@mayor1557 Thanks, man. Good luck to you. I probably could just do it now, but I'm gonna be so busy until Christmas. Plus, I have such a huge backlog from this year that I just decided to hold off on upgrading until then. Who knows, maybe I'll get some parts cheaper than I thought through sales along the way. Just need to wait a bit to see the specs for 4k and at least 60 fps
from my testing companions actually count as witnesses to your pirate crimes which can mean ENORMOUS bounties. i have two clips of me clearing the same ship, one with and one without, a crew. when i clear the ship without a crew my final bounty is 650. when i clear it with a crew my final bounty is 18900. i'm going to continue to fly solo and see if the "last witness killed" pop up is consistent when i'm alone. if it is, then flying solo as a pirate is definitely the way to go. i don't think i can post links in yt comments, so i'll tweet the two clips at you.
While this seems like my kind of gameplay, I don't think I'll do that on my first playthrough solely because I like the main companions in Bethesda games and don't want to be limited to a specific set of "evil" pals.
I joined the fleet a completely different way it was awesome I stole a fleet ship woth contraband failed the scan and they brought me in and told me I can either join them to infiltrate the fleet or go to jail. I was not expecting that !
@@pingus9934 the double agent aspect was really fun. Kept telling the UC commander that he KNOWS my background (wanted trait) so he should’ve known how I get down. It’s his fault I became a pirate captain
Great information, but a suggestion, please mention the controls/keys used for different actions as you explain them would be quite helpful. If anyone knows how I can rebind the "leave cockpit" control from the "E" key please reply. Its so irritating to be in a flight and get yanked out to endure two cutscene animations to sit back down.
Currently working on a ship combat, shotgun, persuasion pirate character for my first run. Hoping to see a UC centric scientist/soldier build in the future! Excited to see how excited you guys are!
SPOILER READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! FYI it seems like a lot of people don’t know this yet but for roleplay purposes I feel it’s necessary to share the information I ended up discovering. You don’t even have to be a mole for SysDef if you don’t want to. When you initially meet them just act like you are going to work with them up until you are directly face to face with their commander on the second floor. After that if you select the attack option you can easily run towards the elevator go back to the first floor and then make a run for your ship. After that just grav jump away and then the mission will update telling you to seek out the crimson fleet on your own. Everything basically proceeds as it normally does with going to Mars and stuff from there only you will not have to deal with SysDef and can just be a pirate no strings attached. Also ensure that after you successfully escape from SysDef and grav jump away do not go directly to the key like I did. That was a mistake. You still have to go to Mars first and complete the initial missions to join up otherwise the fleet will still be hostile.
For anybody wanting the helmet in the thumbnail, it’s called the Pirate Corsair Space Helmet. The Crimson Fleet Captain’s wear them, these Captain’s can be easiest found drinking in the Crimson Fleet’s bar you just have to be stealthy enough to kill one and loot it without alerting the others if you care about your rep with the Fleet lol.
@TyrizzyThe3rd forst vendor on your right when you walk in all he does is sell armor. The captains clothes easiest way to do it os go to akila do the pirate captain bounty put on em weapons destroy the engines save and then dock the pirate ship kill them and reload of you don't get what you want
I can't decide if I like being the pirate or hunting pirates. Because I realized anytime I board criminal based ships I'm finding contraband always. Not once have I not had contraband but it does vary since the first time I got 1 contraband recently I just 3 contraband from a level 8 ship so either it's really good to pirate hunt or I'm extremely lucky
I'm honestly happy that the role-playing part of starfield was well made. Of course it has bugs but come on, it's a Bethesda game. At this point is expected to have. I just hope that this time they try to fix it before the modders so they can focus on other mods.
Highly doubt that. What they'll do probably is, let the modders improve the game, buy it from the modder, then monetize on that. *Bethesda* cheaper than spending on R&D.
Yeah I haven't even ran into any game breaking bugs yet just funny things like people/items glitching into walls it's also only crashed on me once on x bone.
Been enjoying my early access and I definitely am playing a smuggler/pirate focused character. Much sadness when I figured out that there’s no flushed out morally dubious characters.
With the guy at 16:51 I panicked and killed the people on the ship and now I’m trying to get off his ship into mine and fly away but every time I do this I get blown to pieces in space can anyone help?
I was pleasantly surprised when mission to infiltrate crimson fleet become available when I was caught with contraband. Kind of reminds black brotherhood from Oblivion
I hope in one the dlc we can make a fleet of ships and have big space battles, like becoming a pirate king or joining one of the factions and being a ship captain of a fleet
Easiest place to sell contraband without getting scanned before meeting the crimson fleet is going to The Den in the Wolf system, it’s very close to New Atlantis.
If you go to Porrima III there is a place called red mile go to the star port master there and get sheilded cargo if you want to be good in the game but also sell contraband to make a lot of money
Wait, is this the full pirate build you guys made? I’m surprised there’s no lore background for this character despite you guys making them for Skyrim and Fallout 4 :o I wanted to know how this character became a pirate lore-wise. And gameplay-wise I wonder how that goes : just do the intro mission and when you can finally leave the tutorial planet, head straight for the Crimson Fleet via getting caught stealing?
If you go to Porrima III there is a place called red mile go to the star port master there and get sheilded cargo if you want to be good in the game but also sell contraband to make a lot of money
There’s a third way to join the fleet that spins off the second way that you mentioned. What you need to do is turn down the offer and serve your time or pay your bounty then make your way to Cydonia on Mars. How it unfolds from there, though, I don’t know.
^THIS...I'm not sure why no one's covering this method, I've scoured google and YT and even Reddit and nearly 99.9% of the time they just tell you to do it by vanguard mission.
To join the crimson fleet you can also refuse the mission that sydef give you and just go to Cysonia in mars. A guy tell you that neava is seeing you and approve your doings, and start the crimson fleet quest (best choice giving the rp circonstances).
6:18 i just got this an i thought my game was broken. I searched everywhere to see if it was a bug or a feature but thank you for saving me from a 5hr reset
First build idea was going to be a play on a gangster who fled Neon to end up becoming a smuggler then just after a life filled with crime and being chased by bounty hunters and other criminals he decides to join Constellation and live a still adventurous but good life. Makes for an interesting build that has to deal with the consequences of their past while moving forward. Would use either the gangster trait and make hom a menace with boxing. Sort of blend that into the lore aspect. Then give him for traits Alien DNA Neon street rat Wanted Have been over the last few days been really thinking of a crime syndicate type of backround for this character with some major event in his past propelling him away from the violence. But as we know with these characters. It finds them. Love the content! You all have the best job in the world
You can skip going the UC-V route and just go steal some random item where people can see you in New Atlantis, then just opt to go to jail. That will also trigger the UC/Crimson questline. However, if you want access to the vanguard ship mods, then continue the way advised in the video.
Fun fact I've found that if you go to the ship option in the menu you can actually register the ship in the menu. That said I'm not sure if you can only do that in certain places.
I have a han solo build and i love it. Most points in social grabbing all persuasion skills, skills on scavenging ect, making money on selling, with pistols and respective ship skills. Absolute blast
i havent finished the video yet so idk if you said this but you can build bounty clearance boards and mission boards in your home or settlement. so you can roleplay more
The Den on the Wolf star system is a great place too because they don't scan you and there is a Trade Authority there to sell contraband items while in early game.
Being a pirate with the kid stuff trait is kinda funny imagine you do piracy as an alias to avoid your parents finding out Could be like explorer background or professor and treat it as paying off your parents house or student loans
Mods have made piracy sooo much more fun 🙏🏼 even using useful brigs to kidnap people and sell at the key into what I only assume is some Barbary style slave trade 😂
After I finished "The Old Neighborhood" quest I just went out into the city and beat a UC policeman unconscious. They hauled me off to jail and the Crimson Fleet questline started. Yeah, this game sorely needs more evil & morally-grey companions.
reg is 87% of the total price.I feel TGS is best for space combat due to grav jumping. also made a floating fort with all auto guns and just went afk in UC space. for about 10min or so but i think my main lvl is 120 so eh maybe big problem since most ships go to about 30 haha.
In my playthrough I'm a smuggler that hunts down bounties on spacers and the crimson fleet. So I look good while I high-ja.. I mean, confiscate the contraband after boarding, deliver it to the right officials and not to dubious trade organisations. Because if I would do that, that would be crazy, right? *smiles*
Jesus, FudgeMuppet… After an intro like that, you got me thinking I’m seventeen minutes and forty-two seconds away from learning how to divide by zero, heh 😆
So I had done the crimson mission up to going to the key, now I’ve been using bounty hunter to attack and take pirate controlled ships, they did appear as friendly before but I’ve attacked them at outposts and in space, does anyone know if I show up at the key now will I be treated as hostile or just a gung-ho version of Han Solo with respect to boot for slaying fellow pirates
I really want to play a smuggler who isn't a murder hobo. Think Han Solo or Mal from Firefly. I'm struggling to find ways to do this. Anyone have any tips?
I robbed a trading ship and got 2k from them after talking and then another 10k from the captains storage. That plus the weapons on the ship that i've sold was maybe around 15k from one ship. It gave me a 30k bounty tho 🤷🏻♂️
My next playthrough is going to follow this guide. I want to see if you can get contraband before you first arrive at Alpha Centauri, and get "recruited" for the CF quest arc right away.
Once I boarded a ship I was pirating and killed every one inside ended with much larger bounty than the 1500. I did go after Galbank ships and got a decent payout from them.
Nah, The Den in the Wolf system is better for selling contraband, especially early, as it's due east of Sol on the map and even though there's UC there, there are no scans or anything and the Trade Authority dude always has at least 10k in credits.
Quick Money Tip: Steal ships and sell them at New Atlantis there's a wall you can walk through in the commercial district and get your money back plus what ever the vendor has on hand
I had a shielded cargo bay and I tried to take contraband and smuggle it and it Detected it! What am I doing wrong?! And I saved and reloaded like 7 times and all 7 times it took my contraband :( and yes I had it in the cargo bay so wtf?! Help?!
This k its stupid that companies don't like what you do, I mean some of them should like fo4 where strong and Irish lady like you doing and saying aggressive things while others don't.
This game is legandary, frustrates me to no end seeing stupid negative comments from people who have absolutely no clue how to enjoy a role playing game. Bethesda's worst mistake was adding this game to game pass so all the casual playing morons can try it and talk shit about what they don't understand
Kinda surprised there isn't a place you can sell unregistered ships. A place that underpays for they ships worth, but because you don't have to pay to register, its winds up with a better profit.
Theres an easy mod on Nexus that allows you to switch the Crimson Fleet friend/foe status with a single console command.. So you can still do the bounties
I can't wait to role play as hondo and build a freight type ship and just sell sell sell to all factions but will favor the fleet. Gotta just grind the skills i want and new game plus already 😂

Look forward to seeing the crime video you mentioned it does seem inconsistent.
If you steal a ship does your old one just follow you?
it's also cheaper to register it in the ship menu!

After that if you select the attack option you can easily run towards the elevator go back to the first floor and then make a run for your ship. After that just grav jump away and then the mission will update telling you to seek out the crimson fleet on your own. Everything basically proceeds as it normally does with going to Mars and stuff from there only you will not have to deal with SysDef and can just be a pirate no strings attached. Also ensure that after you successfully escape from SysDef and grav jump away do not go directly to the key like I did. That was a mistake. You still have to go to Mars first and complete the initial missions to join up otherwise the fleet will still be hostile.
This game has been so much fun to play. GOTY nominee for sure 💯🔥
For anybody wanting the helmet in the thumbnail, it’s called the Pirate Corsair Space Helmet. The Crimson Fleet Captain’s wear them, these Captain’s can be easiest found drinking in the Crimson Fleet’s bar you just have to be stealthy enough to kill one and loot it without alerting the others if you care about your rep with the Fleet lol.
Where else can you find the captains
Or you can just buy it at the key...
@@johnherrera5261 from who
@TyrizzyThe3rd forst vendor on your right when you walk in all he does is sell armor. The captains clothes easiest way to do it os go to akila do the pirate captain bounty put on em weapons destroy the engines save and then dock the pirate ship kill them and reload of you don't get what you want
I can't decide if I like being the pirate or hunting pirates. Because I realized anytime I board criminal based ships I'm finding contraband always. Not once have I not had contraband but it does vary since the first time I got 1 contraband recently I just 3 contraband from a level 8 ship so either it's really good to pirate hunt or I'm extremely lucky
I'm honestly happy that the role-playing part of starfield was well made.
Of course it has bugs but come on, it's a Bethesda game. At this point is expected to have. I just hope that this time they try to fix it before the modders so they can focus on other mods.
Highly doubt that. What they'll do probably is, let the modders improve the game, buy it from the modder, then monetize on that. *Bethesda* cheaper than spending on R&D.
Yeah I haven't even ran into any game breaking bugs yet just funny things like people/items glitching into walls it's also only crashed on me once on x bone.
@@arjay0490y’all are so annoying
@@bam_bino__mods ruin games for people I swear, you then have people like this guy who can't enjoy a game without mods... it must really suck
welcome to the internet, kid @@Originalchili
Been enjoying my early access and I definitely am playing a smuggler/pirate focused character. Much sadness when I figured out that there’s no flushed out morally dubious characters.
"You're looking for the best of the best, of the best, sir."
With the guy at 16:51 I panicked and killed the people on the ship and now I’m trying to get off his ship into mine and fly away but every time I do this I get blown to pieces in space can anyone help?
I wish there was a good romantic companion for crimson fleet players. What I've seen so far is that the ladies are all goodie two shoes.
I was pleasantly surprised when mission to infiltrate crimson fleet become available when I was caught with contraband. Kind of reminds black brotherhood from Oblivion
GOTY, 100%
I hope in one the dlc we can make a fleet of ships and have big space battles, like becoming a pirate king or joining one of the factions and being a ship captain of a fleet
Y’all should redo this one with a proper backstory and weapons section 😭😭
Easiest place to sell contraband without getting scanned before meeting the crimson fleet is going to The Den in the Wolf system, it’s very close to New Atlantis.
If you go to Porrima III there is a place called red mile go to the star port master there and get sheilded cargo if you want to be good in the game but also sell contraband to make a lot of money
What gun is that?
The cool crimson fleet one that says smile on the front.
@@gators2728 play through the crimson fleet questline and you’ll eventually get it. You cannot miss it so don’t worry
To clarify, does going with the background of Bounty Hunter increase the frequency of mission board missions being bounty missions?
im so excited for this new era of fudgemuppet, you can tell how stoked they are to keep playing this game, its about DAMN time!
Wait, is this the full pirate build you guys made?
I’m surprised there’s no lore background for this character despite you guys making them for Skyrim and Fallout 4 :o
I wanted to know how this character became a pirate lore-wise.
And gameplay-wise I wonder how that goes : just do the intro mission and when you can finally leave the tutorial planet, head straight for the Crimson Fleet via getting caught stealing?
brick :o

After you join the crimson fleet where can you get some crimson fleet armor?
You can buy it at their base
I dont want to put any effort into understanding this, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzadfdfoisdf
There’s a third way to join the fleet that spins off the second way that you mentioned.
What you need to do is turn down the offer and serve your time or pay your bounty then make your way to Cydonia on Mars.
How it unfolds from there, though, I don’t know.
^THIS...I'm not sure why no one's covering this method, I've scoured google and YT and even Reddit and nearly 99.9% of the time they just tell you to do it by vanguard mission.
I f*ckin hate starship battles, just had to say that.
To join the crimson fleet you can also refuse the mission that sydef give you and just go to Cysonia in mars. A guy tell you that neava is seeing you and approve your doings, and start the crimson fleet quest (best choice giving the rp circonstances).
Först!
6:18 i just got this an i thought my game was broken. I searched everywhere to see if it was a bug or a feature but thank you for saving me from a 5hr reset
Oh yeah 😎
First build idea was going to be a play on a gangster who fled Neon to end up becoming a smuggler then just after a life filled with crime and being chased by bounty hunters and other criminals he decides to join Constellation and live a still adventurous but good life.
Makes for an interesting build that has to deal with the consequences of their past while moving forward.
Would use either the gangster trait and make hom a menace with boxing. Sort of blend that into the lore aspect.
Then give him for traits
Alien DNA
Neon street rat
Wanted
Have been over the last few days been really thinking of a crime syndicate type of backround for this character with some major event in his past propelling him away from the violence.
But as we know with these characters. It finds them.
Love the content! You all have the best job in the world
You can skip going the UC-V route and just go steal some random item where people can see you in New Atlantis, then just opt to go to jail. That will also trigger the UC/Crimson questline. However, if you want access to the vanguard ship mods, then continue the way advised in the video.
Fun fact I've found that if you go to the ship option in the menu you can actually register the ship in the menu. That said I'm not sure if you can only do that in certain places.
I've regive registered ships that have landed on planets that I went up and captured
So ah what if my bounty is half a million… I’m having some troubles here.
Oh boy
I have a han solo build and i love it. Most points in social grabbing all persuasion skills, skills on scavenging ect, making money on selling, with pistols and respective ship skills. Absolute blast
i havent finished the video yet so idk if you said this but you can build bounty clearance boards and mission boards in your home or settlement. so you can roleplay more
Take what you can, give nothing back!
The Den on the Wolf star system is a great place too because they don't scan you and there is a Trade Authority there to sell contraband items while in early game.
The best game for decades 😊 imagine when mods will arrive 😅
Being a pirate with the kid stuff trait is kinda funny imagine you do piracy as an alias to avoid your parents finding out
Could be like explorer background or professor and treat it as paying off your parents house or student loans
The fleet comes first
Can we get a Jedi build??!
What armour/outfit was that at 1:44
Docking always gives me interstellar vibes
Mods have made piracy sooo much more fun 🙏🏼 even using useful brigs to kidnap people and sell at the key into what I only assume is some Barbary style slave trade 😂
After I finished "The Old Neighborhood" quest I just went out into the city and beat a UC policeman unconscious. They hauled me off to jail and the Crimson Fleet questline started. Yeah, this game sorely needs more evil & morally-grey companions.
reg is 87% of the total price.I feel TGS is best for space combat due to grav jumping.
also made a floating fort with all auto guns and just went afk in UC space. for about 10min or so but i think my main lvl is 120 so eh maybe big problem since most ships go to about 30 haha.
In my playthrough I'm a smuggler that hunts down bounties on spacers and the crimson fleet. So I look good while I high-ja.. I mean, confiscate the contraband after boarding, deliver it to the right officials and not to dubious trade organisations. Because if I would do that, that would be crazy, right? *smiles*
Jesus, FudgeMuppet…
After an intro like that, you got me thinking I’m seventeen minutes and forty-two seconds away from learning how to divide by zero, heh
😆
So I had done the crimson mission up to going to the key, now I’ve been using bounty hunter to attack and take pirate controlled ships, they did appear as friendly before but I’ve attacked them at outposts and in space, does anyone know if I show up at the key now will I be treated as hostile or just a gung-ho version of Han Solo with respect to boot for slaying fellow pirates
I just started up again the other day. 27hr of playtime later and I think "gentleman privateer" is going to be my Starfield stealth archer.
I really want to play a smuggler who isn't a murder hobo. Think Han Solo or Mal from Firefly. I'm struggling to find ways to do this. Anyone have any tips?
The bounty system is terrible for pirates imo.
It needs fixing ASAP because I wound up with a 300k bounty for like 2 ships.
I robbed a trading ship and got 2k from them after talking and then another 10k from the captains storage. That plus the weapons on the ship that i've sold was maybe around 15k from one ship. It gave me a 30k bounty tho 🤷🏻♂️
My next playthrough is going to follow this guide. I want to see if you can get contraband before you first arrive at Alpha Centauri, and get "recruited" for the CF quest arc right away.
Once I boarded a ship I was pirating and killed every one inside ended with much larger bounty than the 1500. I did go after Galbank ships and got a decent payout from them.
Nah, The Den in the Wolf system is better for selling contraband, especially early, as it's due east of Sol on the map and even though there's UC there, there are no scans or anything and the Trade Authority dude always has at least 10k in credits.
Quick Money Tip: Steal ships and sell them at New Atlantis there's a wall you can walk through in the commercial district and get your money back plus what ever the vendor has on hand
I had a shielded cargo bay and I tried to take contraband and smuggle it and it Detected it! What am I doing wrong?! And I saved and reloaded like 7 times and all 7 times it took my contraband :( and yes I had it in the cargo bay so wtf?! Help?!
This k its stupid that companies don't like what you do, I mean some of them should like fo4 where strong and Irish lady like you doing and saying aggressive things while others don't.
This game is legandary, frustrates me to no end seeing stupid negative comments from people who have absolutely no clue how to enjoy a role playing game. Bethesda's worst mistake was adding this game to game pass so all the casual playing morons can try it and talk shit about what they don't understand
Dude how did I miss that bounty kiosk right next to those Crimson Fleet ones? I've been bitching about having to fly back to Neon
Dude this game is OVERWHELMING with shit to do! Ive barley scratched the surface!
Kinda surprised there isn't a place you can sell unregistered ships. A place that underpays for they ships worth, but because you don't have to pay to register, its winds up with a better profit.
Theres an easy mod on Nexus that allows you to switch the Crimson Fleet friend/foe status with a single console command.. So you can still do the bounties
I can't wait to role play as hondo and build a freight type ship and just sell sell sell to all factions but will favor the fleet. Gotta just grind the skills i want and new game plus already 😂
Wrong you don’t need to take ships to vendors to register them. You can just do it from the ship window anywhere. Bloody cheap too.
Quick note? If you register it at your outpost, it's cheaper than jumping into Akila or whatever.
