Starfield Shipbuilding Guide Tips And Tricks

Thanks Cohh!

How big can i make my ship? My xbox said 39meters but the game says 80 but when i make it 80 its to big so how does that work

So glad I found this one. I didn't care as much about the most powerful build. I just wanted to successfully build a ship. Thank you.

Great video.

Does anyone know if exposed modules act as weak points? Like if your reactor or grav drive is in the open does it take increased damage when hit directly?

WEAPONDRY! LOL!

It's so tempting to buy a new better computer so I can play this. :(

Instant subscriber. This is how I needed to be taught in school. I wasn't. Look forward to new vids. Cheers, bruv

I havent even attempted building a ship yet because I dont have the skill, but now I feel ready to pick it up. Nice video.

A hell of a better guide than all these other wannabes; who keep chucking at me words like "need" and "must have." The game has been out for a month, we don't need anymore. That said, my adhd goes nuts with builder games and I don't know where to start. You were able to teach me, rather than just "show" me. Very well done, I shall look for more of your Starfield videos should the need for research purposes or random meta questions arise :)

This is what I was looking for, I appreciate how you go through and explain everything for ship building, made tons of sense! Thank you!

Quick question. So to get the modules needed that are not available at your outpost landing pad , for instance the cockpit that is only available at certain location. Do you have to use an available cockpit from your outpost landing pad inventory then fly to the location to install the preferred cockpit as in your example?

That was really helpful. Thank you.

Do you have to delete a ship to start a new build?

Helpful. Thank you.

Obviously i have to destroy other ships to level up my piloting perk, Does anybody have a quicker way of doing that instead of just flying around to different systems hoping enemy ships spawn?

R - Up
F - Down

FYI crew needs both crew capacity and crew stations.
Your crew will be the lower of the 2. So if you had 8 crew stations but 2 crew capacity. You’ll only be able to get 2 crew. The hardest to up is capacity. So if you want 8 crew members (max you can get with skills) you will need the following
4 x engines (0.25 x 4 = 1 max crew)
1 x reactor (2 or 3 max crew)
1 x shield (0.5)
7 x weapons (0.5 x 7 = 3.5)

For weapons to get the energy mix out I used 4 dragon pulse turrets and 3 missile launchers.

Fantastic man! i have a grip on this now. Explained it clear 👌

what happens to the cargo on a ship, when you get a new one? does it stay in the first ship?

Thank you for this. You made ship building seem easy. Broken down like a "ship building for dummies" book. You got yourself a new sub.

The information was great, and the entertainment watching your car was also great😂

This is the absolute best video when it comes to ship building. Tank you very much. Subscribed 😎😎

You need timestamps

For a "quick" video that went from me not wanting to play to spending time in that builder changing the base ship as I'm still doing side missions for the vanguard ahah. Thanks for this!!

Weaponry*

Ty sir 🤗

thank you for explaining ship building i was stuck on plane movement until i watched your video, So THANK YOU!!

Great tutorial, thanks! love the cat 😊

How do I get a captins quarters what do I need other then level 60 and ship design skill maxed ugh

Can we take parts from multiple owned ships to make a better ship?

I am buying a whole new rig to play this game properly lol, so that means saving up from now until mid January when I will get it.

Oh man it's gonna be worth it. I love the ship building stuff! When they get the UI right, that will be the game seller!

A must have imo is a railgun. Whereas the longer it is (snapping consecutive pieces in line) the more powerful it is but slower fire rate or charge up is and heavier for some give and take

Side note: I’ve got around 24hrs in this game, and it’s taken most of that 24 hrs but this game is really starting to get its hooks into me. So strange for me. Usually BGS games are an instant rabbit hole for me. This one took a little bit. Great vid bud. Beautiful boat too

You da man! Thank you for the great info. 👍

What i like to do when designing a ship is put every structural piece available off to one side in their manufacturer groups. It really helps visualize how things are going to fit together, basically it looks like a model kit set laid out on a table.

Keep in mind not all parts are available immediately, some wont show up till you're higher level. Not just the better versions, but some entire designs. So visit shipyards regularly.

Also dont worry about mobility. Even with 100 mobility and the maneuverability perks you're still not going to be nimbly dodging enemy fire. so go chonky.

Thanks! This is the best ship build guide I have found!

I notice the easiest way to attach modules is not to drag them. But press g on the area you want to attach and it will give you a list of all the items that are compatible with that spot so you aren’t wasting time scrolling around and not wasting time frustratingly trying to drag things into place.

Great video. New follower!

Very helpful video 😃

For the ship has unattached modules
If you double click a part, it expands the selection VIA connections, anything not red isnt connected
Thumbs up to let others know!

I can only afford like 3 ship parts, awesome tutorial though :)

Great video, 10/10. You are an expert and clear and concise communication and I appreciate that

Saying words incorrectly is not something to be proud of in any circumstance. Doing it to "trigger chat" only shows immaturity. Literally nobody else think that's funny, I guarantee it.

33 min but thankfully he talks slow enough where watching at 1.5x you can still understand him

always enjoy a good top docker

Cat be like, "who is he talking to?"
Now seriously, very helpful. Some things I had already figured out just by fumbling, but some were great useful "aha"s for me.
