I’ve been wanting to make a ship that shoots broadside like old pirate ships. I guess you’d have to use ballistic turrets all on one side tucked into little bays where they can only shoot if you turn that side to the enemy.
Been experimenting with that in fact. You can rotate turrets to face sideways. Looks cool, and you can actually fight two enemies at once, but aligning your ship correctly is pretty hard, because you can't really look sideways even with free cam. Damage isn't great either. Just let everything face forward felt more effective.
Here's a handy tip: when constructing your turret, consider positioning them broadside, facing both sides. This arrangement enables you to simultaneously target multiple adversaries. You can place four turrets on one flank and another four on the opposite side. If your vessel can accommodate more, go ahead and maximize your firepower. This strategic approach allows you to effectively engage and defend against an entire fleet of enemy ships but do keep in mind that it demands substantial components for successful implementation. I demonstrated this On a Twitch stream.
I like the auto turrets because it feels like its what my crew is using to attack instead of me being the only source of damage. (i know thats not the case but its fun to think its being manned by my crew lol)
The Extended warranty NPC is by far the best easter egg I've found so far... and I'm sure there are more, but this one makes me laugh EVERY DAMN TIME!! lmao
Imagine if the DLC added more weapon types. Like say..... a Drone controller for combat drones among other things, or because i can't resist the urge to do this in ANY SPACE GAME, Build a Carrier, all be it a VERY small one.
Hm, drone system instead of missiles. They swarm a target and stay for a few seconds before suiciding. Could be super useful for those lower level ships while we focus on the stronger ones manually.
it killed me the first time i heard "the we have been trying to reach you about your ships extended warranty" i was like even in space 300+ years later you still can escape these MFs lol.
Whilst I can understand for "balancing reasons" they limit yourself to four weapons per weapon type (ballistic, lasers, missiles), I really was kinda disappointed to find out I cannot just make a ship a few hundred meters long, with a heavy, HEAVY amount of weaponry. Same goes for the engines, because of the way they make the reactors and power allocation you can only have four at max, which... Does really suck. Cannot wait for mods to exist that removes those limits and allows us to build proper space battleships!
That made me laugh out loud when he asked about your extended warranty. Hilarious. You might try putting the auto lock turrets on the top and bottom, that way when you're turning, you'll always have weapons that can hit them.
The name 'Bireme' (pronounced Bye-reem) is the name for an ancient class of warships from Greece, Mesopotamia, Cyprus, etc. Mainly Mediterranean nations. They were named specifically for the rows of oars they used to propel themselves forward when not under sail. Bireme: Two rows of oars. (Usually had one central mast and sail) Trireme: Three rows of oars. (Two masts and sails) Quadreme: Four rows of oars. (Three masts and sails) Octoreme: Eight rows of oars. (These were the largest warships of the ancient world and served as flagships for national navies) (4 masts and sails) Up until the 1800s it was common belief that only Bireme type vessels could safely navigate the Mediterranean Sea and thus they were still in use up until the age of steam. Hoplites were Greek spearmen, usually considered veteran soldiers or 'elites'. Phalanx was a Roman tactic which consisted of Roman soldiers creating a 'wall' with their shields and sticking their spears (or pilums) through the gaps in the shields to deter enemy cavalry or infantry charge. This tactic was later revived by armies of Empires such as France and England to 'form squares' with spears, pikes, and later bayonets leveled and out to deter horse-mounted charges. Gladius is a Roman short sword often issued to Gladiators in the Colosseum. Aegis is a mythological goatskin cloak often associated with Zeus and Athene (Greek) or their Roman equivalents (Jupiter and Minerva). In modern terms, an Aegis is a shield or protection. Deimos in Greek mythology is the son of Ares and Aphrodite, brother of Phobos and the ancient Greek personification of terror and fear. Seeing a trend in the starship naming.
In my experience, it’s best to prioritize two weapon slots and either leave the third one empty or make it a conditional weapon. For me, my third slot is EM for boarding ships. The rest are Particle Cannons, which, when prioritized, will shred enemy shields and hull like paper.
80m is the largest a ship can be and land on planets. if they had a shuttle system allowing for larger ships we could probably solo the entire navy of all the factions combined.
The best ship to start with is the Shieldbreaker, it was somewhere in the 200k credits range but was well worth the purchase, it has high grade systems to start with, and you only really need to upgrade the reactor and shield to C class and maybe just add one more missile pod so it has 2 and you are set.
@@RubberStig Another Shieldbreaker is on the vendor again, price tag 273,834 credits, Class B reactor with 27 base power, the shield is one of the top 3 in terms of stats, the lasers are automatic and it has 3 which max out the power bar, it has one rail gun and one rocket pod for system lock targeting, 5 crew slots, and the engines go very high, only 3 bars short of max, it goes fast. I took out the legendary level 55 battleship with Shieldbreaker, once I figured out how to deal with the escorts first, without getting destroyed in the process. That was before I upgraded the reactor and shield to C class. I uploaded 2 short clips of deconstructing the ship, if you want to see the layout, the old setup was what got me through the legendary battle, the newer setup has higher mass with more cargo, and I trimmed down the habitats to only the main 3 you need.
Dude, how do you know what a starborn is but not the key? And if you keep thurst im the middle the White field the ship turn faster. Good ship design :) gave a lot of ideas:) to find out more about the Key, get arrested in a uc controlled area, Just Steal a cup or smt from a shop :)
There's another turret in the "obliterator" series that you can only have 3 of. Deals 200 shield + hull damage for each one for a max of 600 to both lol, using those with the 4 you grabbed and then 6 of the vanguard particle guns. Shields don't exist anymore and everything is shredded to bits
There's class C reactors with 40 generation (plus whatever you get from the skill if you have it). Also, if you joined UC they have some sick stuff, namely the Vanguard shield. It's a class B, but has an insane 1450 hit points and is tiny, basically a porthole. They also have some nice weapons. I recommend building a outpost with the large landing pad and customizing there, that is where I have access to the actual top end stuff. IE- my class C ships have 30ly, 3000 cargo, 100 mobility, full weapon hard points, I forget how much hull but over 1500 iirc, etc.
Having a fast, maneuverable, and huge, ship IS possible...but the bigger you are, the faster you're taken down when facing multiple ships (the bigger you are the easier to hit). I took a C-class Generator and Shield (1200 shield power), 4 Disruptor Auto Turrets, 6 Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojectors, and a tiny class A grav drive. The ONLY Hab components I had were a 2x1 Control station, and a 1x1 companion way. I used the stock cockpit. Keeping the silhouette as small as possible, and keeping my speed around 100, I was able to solo 5 Vanguard ships without ever taking Hull damage, in under 90 seconds.
You also have to remember to put long, thin, light segments, many stacked end-to-end, off of the top and specifically just one side and not the other, that way nobody can hit you XD
Something I recommend with turrets is having 3 and going with ballistics as the main weapon that way to focus on multiple targets and missiles don’t hurt at as well. Locking on to the target that your turrets are fighting is fun as well
yeah, make more Battleship builds! was thinking something like a WW2 battleship! big, slow but tough ships with 3x triple turret guns and a bunch of point defense machine guns!
LevelCap: I think we ran into a pirate base or something Me: Yeah, you literally jumped to THE pirate base, the Crimson Fleet's star station. Their MAIN base. HOME base even. The HQ if you will.
So far I managed to build a Class C with 90 munervability, everything maxed except 2 off of Reactor and 2 off of Grav. Has over 1000 cargo. Carries 9 passengers. It's a beast.
the turrets are probably best placed aiming sideways on your ship with your main guns facing forward... that way your main guns do the bulk of the damage with the turrets hitting them if they fly past you.
That's what I did on mine and it's so far just tearing through large groups of ships. I did four particle beam lasers and four vanguard hellfire autocannons facing forward with two particle beam turrets on each side for a total of four. I'm covered on three sides and I'm finding that the turrets alone are getting about a third of the kills, finishing off the ships as they fly by during a joust.
In my opinion, the Deimos ships and their parts are the coolest in Starfield. I build all my ships from it. They look really aggressive. But that's just my opinion...
I can’t wait for Star Wats mods - flying a Bell Star Destroyer or even an Imperator - both designed to have lots of weapons but capable of piloted with less than 500 men if situations called for it
You’re right about turrets being useful in big battles. Even though they’re not frequent, I did have a battleship outfitted with like 8-9 turrets when SysDef invaded the Key. My turrets were goin buckwild firing all over the place and I was blastin peeps into oblivion while just cruising forward slowly along at 10 MPH lmao. But yeah, it was totally worth it.
The Key is the main base of the crimson fleet. Get arrested or join the Vanguard and progress so you can get this cool questline where you can go undercover.
Just a tip, you can have up to 12 particle beam turrets on your ship as long as you have a different type for each fire button. For example 4 of 1 type for RT or right click, 4 of another type for LT or left click etc. I have a 500k custom ship that had 12 of those turrets, decided to change 8 for forward facing auto particle beams and keep 4 turrets for blind spots.
Soon as I finish off the last few ships I need to fully upgrade my pilot skill, this is exactly what I'm gonna do to the Kepler. My main B class ship is already a massive monster but I'm gonna go full-on with the Kepler
My favorite bridges are the two stories with stairs in them. I hate ladders. Also for best maneuverability, keep your speed in the White area next to the speed gauge. If you try to turn at max thrust it takes three times as long.
Speed at midway point is better for fast maneuvering, keeping it at max means overshooting target and then slow to turn to reacquire them, my tactic is to keep the speed midway and use boost to play catch up if needed then reducing back to midway.
I modled a ship slightly based of warhammer ship design that uses 4 particle turrets and 4 class c missle racks can 2 to 3 shot most high level ships not to mention not having to worry about the turrets firing through shield and hull its crazy
The ship building is kind of broken, I built a class a small ship that can pretty much destroy everything in the game. You just have to engage at max range so you don't get swarmed.
Make sure you remember to use your select input (E on PC is standard) to target ships that you're fighting with. That will give you a better readout on their status, and allow system locking so that (once you have the skill) you can target specific sub-systems. If you're firing on a ship and the targeting circle goes away, they're using Boost to break targeting. You can chase them down to re-engage though. Also, if you get the "Missle Lock" warning, use your own Boost to break that lock and avoid the damage. During fights, make sure your speed indicator is in the middle, not pegged on the top. You have maximum agility at the "optimum" speed, and having it pegged will make your turns very slow.
The turrets are for hitting targets you aren't focusing on , they also only cover a cone they don't turn 360 so you need to point them in the direction you want them to cover , if you want a tail gun (the best use of them) you need to put it on the rear pointed backwards and it will hit who ever pulls in behind you
The fact you accidentally waltzed into The Key and seemingly didnt know it was the Crimson Fleet HQ is hilarious, but even more hilarious that you annihilated the defensive fleet there.
I built a modded out ship and it measured out at 112 meters. Honestly anything over 120 if you modded will clip in everything. Around 110 meters. You will fill the entire landing pad.
The moment the NPC mentioned the warranty, I practically threw my hands up and was about to shout "shoot that ship!" It's like Bethesda knew what they were doing there.
The fact that it was a UC ship made it better cause they are basically the space police.

HAH!! "We've been trying to contact you...." That was AWESOME!!!!
if you want a fatser turning speed its similiar to jet flying in bf4 going down to about mid speed accelerating and de-accelerating helps your turning greatly
That's one thing but the main thing is to hold down RB (on controller, not sure what on keyboard) and you can turn faster with side jets!
I’ve been wanting to make a ship that shoots broadside like old pirate ships. I guess you’d have to use ballistic turrets all on one side tucked into little bays where they can only shoot if you turn that side to the enemy.
Love this idea
Been experimenting with that in fact. You can rotate turrets to face sideways. Looks cool, and you can actually fight two enemies at once, but aligning your ship correctly is pretty hard, because you can't really look sideways even with free cam. Damage isn't great either. Just let everything face forward felt more effective.
Here's a handy tip: when constructing your turret, consider positioning them broadside, facing both sides. This arrangement enables you to simultaneously target multiple adversaries. You can place four turrets on one flank and another four on the opposite side. If your vessel can accommodate more, go ahead and maximize your firepower. This strategic approach allows you to effectively engage and defend against an entire fleet of enemy ships but do keep in mind that it demands substantial components for successful implementation. I demonstrated this On a Twitch stream.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! The extended warranty on your ship part killed me haha
I like the auto turrets because it feels like its what my crew is using to attack instead of me being the only source of damage. (i know thats not the case but its fun to think its being manned by my crew lol)
Yeah, thats why on my 3 warships i have Battlestations and turrets.
(Im a UC guy, so the entire crew gets UC naval uniforms and berets)
@@PeterMuskrat6968Whaaat? I did not know that you can choose outfits for your crew!
The first fight was at 'The Key' which is the main base of the Crimson Fleet pirate group.
The Extended warranty NPC is by far the best easter egg I've found so far... and I'm sure there are more, but this one makes me laugh EVERY DAMN TIME!! lmao
"I think we ran into a pirate base or something..."
Randomly jumps to The Key, the crimson fleet's home base 😂
Rebel Galaxy is a great game if you like battleships. A real treat grinding from the starting ship to massive battle cruisers.
Imagine if the DLC added more weapon types. Like say..... a Drone controller for combat drones among other things, or because i can't resist the urge to do this in ANY SPACE GAME, Build a Carrier, all be it a VERY small one.
Hm, drone system instead of missiles. They swarm a target and stay for a few seconds before suiciding. Could be super useful for those lower level ships while we focus on the stronger ones manually.
@@RyMann88would definitely be better in place of the missiles, which suck
yooo combat drones sound sick
it killed me the first time i heard "the we have been trying to reach you about your ships extended warranty" i was like even in space 300+ years later you still can escape these MFs lol.
"Your ships extended warranty is about to expire"
hahahhahahhah!!!!!
"We've been trying to contact you about your extended warranty" 😭😭 lol Well played Bethesda lol that's hilarious 😂
Did you there is a fast travel option so you dont need to upgrade your ship at all ? 😂
7:49 totally agreed. Even just an option to view the interior before you buy.
Whilst I can understand for "balancing reasons" they limit yourself to four weapons per weapon type (ballistic, lasers, missiles), I really was kinda disappointed to find out I cannot just make a ship a few hundred meters long, with a heavy, HEAVY amount of weaponry. Same goes for the engines, because of the way they make the reactors and power allocation you can only have four at max, which... Does really suck. Cannot wait for mods to exist that removes those limits and allows us to build proper space battleships!
I can imagine the chaos and destruction. Ahh.
That made me laugh out loud when he asked about your extended warranty. Hilarious. You might try putting the auto lock turrets on the top and bottom, that way when you're turning, you'll always have weapons that can hit them.
The name 'Bireme' (pronounced Bye-reem) is the name for an ancient class of warships from Greece, Mesopotamia, Cyprus, etc. Mainly Mediterranean nations. They were named specifically for the rows of oars they used to propel themselves forward when not under sail.
Bireme: Two rows of oars. (Usually had one central mast and sail)
Trireme: Three rows of oars. (Two masts and sails)
Quadreme: Four rows of oars. (Three masts and sails)
Octoreme: Eight rows of oars. (These were the largest warships of the ancient world and served as flagships for national navies) (4 masts and sails)
Up until the 1800s it was common belief that only Bireme type vessels could safely navigate the Mediterranean Sea and thus they were still in use up until the age of steam.
Hoplites were Greek spearmen, usually considered veteran soldiers or 'elites'.
Phalanx was a Roman tactic which consisted of Roman soldiers creating a 'wall' with their shields and sticking their spears (or pilums) through the gaps in the shields to deter enemy cavalry or infantry charge. This tactic was later revived by armies of Empires such as France and England to 'form squares' with spears, pikes, and later bayonets leveled and out to deter horse-mounted charges.
Gladius is a Roman short sword often issued to Gladiators in the Colosseum.
Aegis is a mythological goatskin cloak often associated with Zeus and Athene (Greek) or their Roman equivalents (Jupiter and Minerva). In modern terms, an Aegis is a shield or protection.
Deimos in Greek mythology is the son of Ares and Aphrodite, brother of Phobos and the ancient Greek personification of terror and fear.
Seeing a trend in the starship naming.
Warning: "You didn't equip your ship's weapons"
Level: "Ha, you think I can read!?"
In my experience, it’s best to prioritize two weapon slots and either leave the third one empty or make it a conditional weapon. For me, my third slot is EM for boarding ships. The rest are Particle Cannons, which, when prioritized, will shred enemy shields and hull like paper.
Man really just pulled up to the main crimson fleet base unknowingly
80m is the largest a ship can be and land on planets. if they had a shuttle system allowing for larger ships we could probably solo the entire navy of all the factions combined.
The best ship to start with is the Shieldbreaker, it was somewhere in the 200k credits range but was well worth the purchase, it has high grade systems to start with, and you only really need to upgrade the reactor and shield to C class and maybe just add one more missile pod so it has 2 and you are set.
Mine cost me 279000 credits. Class B. 5 crew slots. Great ship Carried me quite a way.
@@RubberStig Another Shieldbreaker is on the vendor again, price tag 273,834 credits, Class B reactor with 27 base power, the shield is one of the top 3 in terms of stats, the lasers are automatic and it has 3 which max out the power bar, it has one rail gun and one rocket pod for system lock targeting, 5 crew slots, and the engines go very high, only 3 bars short of max, it goes fast.
I took out the legendary level 55 battleship with Shieldbreaker, once I figured out how to deal with the escorts first, without getting destroyed in the process. That was before I upgraded the reactor and shield to C class.
I uploaded 2 short clips of deconstructing the ship, if you want to see the layout, the old setup was what got me through the legendary battle, the newer setup has higher mass with more cargo, and I trimmed down the habitats to only the main 3 you need.
@@vale18 Thats awesome! I'm off to check out your clips!! Thanks!! 🙂
Looks like the x03 from stargate sg1. Very cool design.
Dude, how do you know what a starborn is but not the key? And if you keep thurst im the middle the White field the ship turn faster. Good ship design :) gave a lot of ideas:) to find out more about the Key, get arrested in a uc controlled area, Just Steal a cup or smt from a shop :)
“We have been trying to contact you about your ships extended warranty”.
Scariest moment in the game so far. 😂
😂
There's another turret in the "obliterator" series that you can only have 3 of. Deals 200 shield + hull damage for each one for a max of 600 to both lol, using those with the 4 you grabbed and then 6 of the vanguard particle guns. Shields don't exist anymore and everything is shredded to bits
Anybody else thinks lvl's first battleship looked like an Imperial Star Destroyer?
Like flat long ship with bridge at a stern? Most ships looks like that. You need visible triangle form to do SD, almost impossible in that game.
I hope they release a ship building model kit, so we can create our favorite creations in real life.🤞
There's class C reactors with 40 generation (plus whatever you get from the skill if you have it). Also, if you joined UC they have some sick stuff, namely the Vanguard shield. It's a class B, but has an insane 1450 hit points and is tiny, basically a porthole. They also have some nice weapons. I recommend building a outpost with the large landing pad and customizing there, that is where I have access to the actual top end stuff. IE- my class C ships have 30ly, 3000 cargo, 100 mobility, full weapon hard points, I forget how much hull but over 1500 iirc, etc.
My guy just obliterated the Crimson Fleet, LMAO.
I did that with an unmodded star eagle
Having a fast, maneuverable, and huge, ship IS possible...but the bigger you are, the faster you're taken down when facing multiple ships (the bigger you are the easier to hit).
I took a C-class Generator and Shield (1200 shield power), 4 Disruptor Auto Turrets, 6 Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojectors, and a tiny class A grav drive. The ONLY Hab components I had were a 2x1 Control station, and a 1x1 companion way. I used the stock cockpit.
Keeping the silhouette as small as possible, and keeping my speed around 100, I was able to solo 5 Vanguard ships without ever taking Hull damage, in under 90 seconds.
The long sword looks like the Longsword ship from Halo Reach
LOL I just finished a long quest chain involving the Key. That’s the Crimson Fleet’s HQ. 😂
You also have to remember to put long, thin, light segments, many stacked end-to-end, off of the top and specifically just one side and not the other, that way nobody can hit you XD
Something I recommend with turrets is having 3 and going with ballistics as the main weapon that way to focus on multiple targets and missiles don’t hurt at as well. Locking on to the target that your turrets are fighting is fun as well
yeah, make more Battleship builds! was thinking something like a WW2 battleship! big, slow but tough ships with 3x triple turret guns and a bunch of point defense machine guns!
Amazing video, really helped me out. If anyone is stuck with any missions that requires a powerful ship. This is the video to watch!
Looks for pirates to test out a new ship and casually waltzes into the Crimson Fleet HQ 😂
Your design for a ship looks very similar to a Homeworld Kushan Assault Frigate. Niiice...
I love how he pops up at the Crimson Fleets Starbase lol
"It looks like I ran into a pirate base? The Key?" LOL
LevelCap: I think we ran into a pirate base or something
Me: Yeah, you literally jumped to THE pirate base, the Crimson Fleet's star station. Their MAIN base. HOME base even. The HQ if you will.
The "commerce" in the game is surprisingly balanced. You can build a decent ship for fairly cheap if you don't over do it
So far I managed to build a Class C with 90 munervability, everything maxed except 2 off of Reactor and 2 off of Grav. Has over 1000 cargo. Carries 9 passengers. It's a beast.
the turrets are probably best placed aiming sideways on your ship with your main guns facing forward... that way your main guns do the bulk of the damage with the turrets hitting them if they fly past you.
That's what I did on mine and it's so far just tearing through large groups of ships. I did four particle beam lasers and four vanguard hellfire autocannons facing forward with two particle beam turrets on each side for a total of four. I'm covered on three sides and I'm finding that the turrets alone are getting about a third of the kills, finishing off the ships as they fly by during a joust.
I knew I’d like ship building… didn’t expect I’d LOVE it 😅
Seems like turrets make it impossible to disable engines and dock with ships. I’d imagine it’d kill them before u could dock.
My guy actually went straight into the crimson fleet homebase lol
7:28 Perfectionist with 56% of mobility, and to get in the cockpit you have to cross all the ship.
In my opinion, the Deimos ships and their parts are the coolest in Starfield. I build all my ships from it. They look really aggressive. But that's just my opinion...
Is that your opinion?
I guess it is @@AMoistBum 🤣
I can’t wait for Star Wats mods - flying a Bell Star Destroyer or even an Imperator - both designed to have lots of weapons but capable of piloted with less than 500 men if situations called for it
You’re right about turrets being useful in big battles. Even though they’re not frequent, I did have a battleship outfitted with like 8-9 turrets when SysDef invaded the Key.
My turrets were goin buckwild firing all over the place and I was blastin peeps into oblivion while just cruising forward slowly along at 10 MPH lmao. But yeah, it was totally worth it.
Bros ship looks like a miniature Star destroyer
The Key is the main base of the crimson fleet. Get arrested or join the Vanguard and progress so you can get this cool questline where you can go undercover.
Just a tip, you can have up to 12 particle beam turrets on your ship as long as you have a different type for each fire button.
For example 4 of 1 type for RT or right click, 4 of another type for LT or left click etc.
I have a 500k custom ship that had 12 of those turrets, decided to change 8 for forward facing auto particle beams and keep 4 turrets for blind spots.
"I think I found a pirate base"
Dude, you found THE pirate base.
This mans made the starfield equivalent of a fire nation navy ship
Soon as I finish off the last few ships I need to fully upgrade my pilot skill, this is exactly what I'm gonna do to the Kepler. My main B class ship is already a massive monster but I'm gonna go full-on with the Kepler
Just casually randomly attacking The Key... lol :D
My favorite bridges are the two stories with stairs in them. I hate ladders. Also for best maneuverability, keep your speed in the White area next to the speed gauge. If you try to turn at max thrust it takes three times as long.
Imagine building a carrier? That would be insane!
Speed at midway point is better for fast maneuvering, keeping it at max means overshooting target and then slow to turn to reacquire them, my tactic is to keep the speed midway and use boost to play catch up if needed then reducing back to midway.
I modled a ship slightly based of warhammer ship design that uses 4 particle turrets and 4 class c missle racks can 2 to 3 shot most high level ships not to mention not having to worry about the turrets firing through shield and hull its crazy
The ship building is kind of broken, I built a class a small ship that can pretty much destroy everything in the game. You just have to engage at max range so you don't get swarmed.
three ships that MUST come out of that shop: Galactica, Pegasus and Nostromo.
Lol, the first thing Level does is flying into the pirate's head base 😂😂😂 that was ballsy
Tthat ship towards the end looks cool too. It looks like a flying aircraft carrier.
Let's be honest here. You deep down just wanted a star destroyer. Because you are very close to that territory with that ship! 🤣
“I think we ran into a pirate base or something” brother you just ran into THE pirate base, you knew what you were doing
Bro casually annihilated the entire crimson fleet
Make sure you remember to use your select input (E on PC is standard) to target ships that you're fighting with. That will give you a better readout on their status, and allow system locking so that (once you have the skill) you can target specific sub-systems. If you're firing on a ship and the targeting circle goes away, they're using Boost to break targeting. You can chase them down to re-engage though. Also, if you get the "Missle Lock" warning, use your own Boost to break that lock and avoid the damage. During fights, make sure your speed indicator is in the middle, not pegged on the top. You have maximum agility at the "optimum" speed, and having it pegged will make your turns very slow.
Yeah the Auto Turrets probably aren't as good as the manual ones for early game builds.
The turrets are for hitting targets you aren't focusing on , they also only cover a cone they don't turn 360 so you need to point them in the direction you want them to cover , if you want a tail gun (the best use of them) you need to put it on the rear pointed backwards and it will hit who ever pulls in behind you
The fact you accidentally waltzed into The Key and seemingly didnt know it was the Crimson Fleet HQ is hilarious, but even more hilarious that you annihilated the defensive fleet there.
that protip with space bar and flying away form them: OMG! NEVER KNEW
Would be awesome if you could exit your ship in the middle of space and just walk and float around on it.
I built a modded out ship and it measured out at 112 meters. Honestly anything over 120 if you modded will clip in everything. Around 110 meters. You will fill the entire landing pad.
Your last ship reminds me of the Prometheus from Stargate
