Improve Your Ship Build Layout In Starfield

Massive ships...no elevators.😂

fewer ladders

Good video. Nice idea also. I wish they would add some sort of viewer so you can see the interior of the pieces as you’re building

Wow. Just like real ship.

Do you have to use those specific habs or will any 3x1 work?

They need to allow you to select where the ladders and doors go in the building system. It is disgusting seeing how good designs end up with ladders anywhere and everywhere.

Honestly absolutely love your videos, this one in particular inspired me to build what I now call the U.C. Mantilisk Vanguard. Keep up the good work as I definitely look forward to more videos

In your opinion when looking for inspiration what ship class do you look at. E.g Fritates Corvettes, destroyers etc

The ship building in this game would be infinitely better if we got to choose the door and ladder placement. Like when you put a hab unit down, there are the door/ladder nodes. You select the node and press "G" (PC controls) and select a hab to connect and that is where the ladder/door will be. I hate especially in rooms where the layout for storage is important like the armory hab will have a ladder slot taken where all of the weapon racks and boxes are and it removes all but like a single small box and one weapon rack. Also, if they add an elevator 1x1 to just get rid of ladders, I would rather have an elevator at the back and front of the ship and eliminate all ladders going up and down completely. If they did that, the ship building would be damn near perfect imo.

The only other thing I would love to see in the builder is the ability to flip more objects in more directions. Why can't I place a hab unit left/right? Why are so many of these structure/cosmetic pieces so limited to 1 direction/axis? The possibilities of ship designs would go through the roof with that change as well!

And I am sure there will be mods to "fix" both of these wish list items missing from the game but I want to get the achievements as well and I have not tested it myself but I know the debug menu as soon as you even open it disables achievements and labels your character save as Modded.. So does adding actual mods disable achievements as well? Because there is a lot of the QOL UI mods I really want to get...

Wish for modules with elevator.

Hopefully some future dlc or update adds two level habs with staircases, I'd far prefer them to ladders

Not a maze? That's totally a maze!

lol no. I'm never doing this.

I hate videos like these that claim one thing but then proceed to just build a massive ship to show off his unlocked parts. Instead, couldn't you just make a 3 min video with quick tips? No? OK, I'm ignoring your channel and your 17 min long videos. Bye.

still two ladders... ?

Looks like an anaconda from elite dangerous or an ISD cool build.

This game needs elevator for ships!

My ship was nearly perfect, but the Nova hab I put behind my Captain’s Quarters (was supposed to make a good flow between the Crew Stations) refused to connect with the captain’s quarters.

So instead now, I have a random ladder inside my room, and my Crew Stations have a random hab to store…. Stuff? I guess?

I just shrugged and left it alone. Figured it was good enough, I have Cora on my ship regularly, so I figured it was good extra room for her to hide away at anyways. After all, the whole reason I was flying that behemoth was so the poor kid would have plenty of space to do whatever the heck she wanted.

Man, I love these ship build videos I'm seeing all over the place. Your tutorial here was very easy to follow and I really enjoyed the tour and music at the end of the video. Please do more!

Built a ship based off this design with same proportions and it’s telling me I exceeded the ship size limit. I’m on Xbox series X, does anyone know what I did/how to solve this?

The ship building is pretty bad. Anyone with a brain wouldve said "hey shouldn't they be allowed to place a ladder or stairs where they want, or let them see the layout if they cant? Id doesn't make sense they buying something they don't know if it even has a decent interior guy" If they're this dumb not to foresee this they all need to lose they jobs smh.
Have u ever boarded a UC ship? Those shits are like the Maze Runner trials 😂 imagine an evacuation order on those all thos ladders & dead end caps i was stuck in 1 for a good 25 minutes like where tf is the cockpit! By the time i got there they could've just flew me to UC space report me as attacking them then just lock down the ship & is be dead 😂😂😂

That & how certain parts aint available at locations even if u been there b4 it gets to be ridiculous.

*fewer ladders.

Gonna subscribe just for how clear that was

For some reason, my ship is 41 meters long and I can't add the Stroud caps on the front, I need to use the Taiyo or else it exceeds 40 meters (80 total). Odd.

*fewer ladders

How much did it cost?

Awesome build mate, any chance you could build a max class C cargo freighter!?

we need elevators

I don't bother with ladders I just use my jetpack to go upstairs and just hop down to go back

I usually try to avoid the long ladders because I drop down rather than climb lol it looks awesome though!

Better maze, than ladders ._.

It's all fun and games until you realise... in space, people can also attack the underside of your shop.

downvoted and added to ingnore list. another ulgy clown

Nice looking ship! When I build I'm going to try to avoid ladders where possible but what I'd really like is the screen to just tell you what is in each hub - I have a crew of 5 and the only beds are in the captain's room and the brig. LOL.

I see someone shares my addiction haha - I said Noice one BRUVA!

I really like the way this ship looks but went to build it using this guide and got an error that the ship was either too wide or too tall when I tried to finalize it. Did you use any glitches or mods in order to get around that or did I do something wrong with my build?

The galleon s202 holds more cargo and looks better

How do you start to build a new ship? I can only modify existing ships or buy/sell ships

ironic calling the baldest man on planet earth bob ross

I wish you could rotate the large habs to make them wide instead of long. And btw most of those habs are useless unless you want a large crew. They just add mass and reduce mobility

Came for the ships, stayed for the synthwave ❤ thanks—great vid

Easy tip to make snapping parts easier, use R and F when you have the part selected to move it up and down a level. I've no clue what it is on Xbox but that's the default for PC. My life became so much easier when I found this out (because, of course, I didn't read any instructions or even check all the control mappings).

I'm biased against neverending ladders, no thanks!

Cool music 👊

Just curious how you have credits of that magnitude......

A few questions. By placing the cockpit, landing bay and storerooms first, doesn't that mean the ladders are automatically placed in the storerooms? I just haven't found a way to reliably place ladders where I want them. I always endup with ladders and doors in my captains quarters which is not what I want.

Also, my cargo keeps getting filled with misc stuff, pencils, notepads, ect. Is this my ship's decoration clutter on display, or is this from removed habs? Like if I sell all my misc stuff, will my ship be empty?

Do the habs actually do anything? The cargo hab should give you a huge amount of cargo space right? Instead of the "cargo" pieces you put on? Shouldn't it be a trade off? Big cargo habs that increase mass, suitable for cargo ships but not fighter ships. Use the cargo addons for lighter ships. All too cosmetic rather than functional.

Wish they'd add elevators if your ship cockpit is above say 3 or 4 floors.

That is damn impressive! Learned a lot just watching and taking it all in. As well the ship on the ship tour has the new ship minted look in how clean it looked. It didn't look all unkept and untidy like the way some the ships are when you steal them with rags all over the floor etc. That ship looks like it had the new ship look and smell. I didn't see an Armory, but maybe just missed it on the tour. But really enjoyed the video for the design lesson.
