Starfield - COMPLETE Guide to Ship Building - Customization, Skills and Crew

Can you swap parts between your ships?

Any way to build a ship that is specifically designed to disable and capture other ships?

Purple and gold is so garish and disgusting why

My method has been to “Ship of Theseus” the Mantis ship. I’ve managed to rearrange the engines and landing gear to allow me to have a ship that is three bays wide and two 2x1 bays long with the cockpit in the front

On the back left I have living quarters, with the all in one on the bottom, crew quarters in the middle and captain’s quarters on top. In the back right I have an armory, the workshop and a science lab.

The middle section is a single level with engineering and then in front you have the control deck and then the cockpit. Add in some cosmetics to make everything less boxy and you get what I think looks like a pretty badass ship. Perfect for my space pirate/smuggler. (Example: on the front of the top hab spaces on the left and right, I added one of the “awning” type of module that hangs over the empty space and under those I have two cargo bins. Between those and the way I have the engines splayed out, it keeps the cargo from looking just tacked onto the side of the ship)

I tried no ladders and I was able to do it and my ship looked cool enough, but I found it limiting for having all the crafting stations and living space I wanted for my crew. The didn’t want people sleeping in my bed

I’m over 70 hours in and haven’t really touched the main quest. This is a truly great game.

Finally. Console friendly guide. 😊

The docking module pisses me off when I’m trying to mod my ship 🤦🏻😡

you don't need to allocate power to gravdrive as long there is a free reactor energy aveilable it will be allocated automatically ones gravdrive is active...

I hate the ship building controls. The right stick sucks

During a ship battle, when you see the "enemy missile locked on" in red tou can boost to break the lock. Also after breaking the lock you can drop your throttle to zero to cancel the boost so you dont blow your whole wad of boost in one go. This makes for multiple chances for you to break enemy missiles lock during a fight. Doing this gives you a much better fighting experience IMO.

how go i view my ship from all angles while flying in space?

can you move ship parts from one ship to another?

It’s amazing how many hours I have in this, and only completed a handful of missions! There’s so much more to do

One thing you missed as long as their isn't a loading screen separating you and your ship, you can freely teleport goods to and from your ship. So if you can always store your cutter on your ship and pull it out by game physics, and then freely store the goods mined back onto the ship to avoid you becoming bogged down. I understand this is a ship guide but could of slapped a side note in for newer players. Me and Sarah we're doing a few long hauls back to the ship without me knowing this. Great video 👍

The game is a solid 8.7/10 in my opinion, which is amazing. Just finished ng+10 and now my real journey begins 🫡

How's the stability? Has Bethesda discovered the concept of debugging yet?

Is it just me or do the classes of ships seem totally backwards? Like... If somebody asked me if I wanted to eat at an A class or a c-class restaurant and I had to pick super fast My intuition would tell me the A class restaurant was way better and more high quality and to avoid the c-class.

It's weird how often video games do this, were the intuitive thing is exactly reversed. Another example is bringing the nose of my ship up... Pull back on the control stick. Obviously. You want to pull your nose up in a spaceship or an airplane or whatever, you pull back on the control stick... But the default in Starfield is to push forward on the control stick... to go... up... what the hell lol... Who designs these control methods?

A Starfield MMO from Zenimax Online Studios would be too good

Love this game can't wait till mods

After seeing how good this video is going to be I’ve started to wonder- does the fella have one like this for outposts 😊

FUDGE MUPPET STARFIELD GUIDES ARE GONNA BE MY LIFE

So the only thing you need is piloting. I bought a class c ship and can destroy everything. You dont need any habs except one to have a bed and some for cargo. Get the best reactor and shields which you will have if you buy a class c ship otherwise you'll have to put points in starship design. Engines max out at 100 mobility so just enough for that. Weapons can be anything really. You dont need crew even though they can make up for the skills you dont have but like I said you will destroy everything anyway so whats the point.

Thanks, informative as always. I play around and try it out. Then I find you guys to fill in the blanks.

It feels like this game breathed new life into the channel. Can't wait to see more

Theres a console command on pc where you can decorate and customize the interior of your ship

I still don’t know how to add furniture and windows lol I get how to add weapons and other things

You should do a tutorial on how to make your ship it looks so cool

You can delete your ENTIRE SHIP and just build a new one!?!? Im buying this game JUST for the ship building! What!?

I wish there was a way to share and download other people's starship. Like halo 3 forge maps.

finally a complete guide to ships and combat.. most vids only cover a few points. and it took me ages to understand how ship combat works. this vid wud have shown me in the first 5 min lol

i really hope i'll be able to build like a starship or something
if not, i'm sure someone'll mod it in
i just really want to build something like the usg ishimura or the swc-141 retribution

thank you so much for the in depth and informative guide i was stuck confused for so long

The most helpful video, genuinely thankyou for this. I've been pulling my hair out trying to build ships then hitting a brick wall not being able to use certain parts etc.

it ain't workin for me. The ship build interface says errors like not attached, but it is attached in the builder. i.e. it snapped together.

I can't even figure out how to add a piece once I move one out of the way. How do I bring up the structural, weapons, and bays menu?

Finally an actual helpful video on Starfield! Thanks bud! Great job by the way, very informative.

So maybe im still early watching your video, but in case I forget . I don't understand. I bought a ship, but it seems like it is not allowing multiple structural parts. A part or hab or what ever dissappear after using like 2 of them. Such as the Galion. I needed more round parts that go over the side bay but it only allowed two??? Am I missing somthing ?

I still have no idea about anything crafting in this game, fo4 i crafted for days right off the bat, this game is just bleh

The fact that I have to take a ship I haven’t even built yet to a completely different system to buy parts I need to finish it is so fucking bullshit that I’m not even willing to fuck with it until they fix that stupid fuckin shit

Very clear and entertaining guide. Thank you for this!

yo i did a crimson fleet quest to smuggle contraband into a city and deliver it, i had shielded cargo, and the scan blocker from red mile, the contraband was in my cargo and yet i had a zero percent chance of passing the scan i reloaded the game, nothing happened so now i ask yee muppets of fudge wtf do i do

where do you buy that huge cockpit on your giant purple ship?

Remember people, Turrets are your rear engines best friend. One on each side and one on the rear will keep enemies in pursuit occupied while you focus your main guns on your forward targets.

The game is here to stay, trolls thought they could take out a family member of Elder scrolls and Fallout 😂😂😂

I hate flying, I bloody hate it with a passion

Ship building is atrocious in this game

I don't care what people say. I'm enjoying this game so much

As Scott says, adding tons of windows makes ships so cool, I recently did some modifications so it could have another crew member, Andreja. And then I added tons of windows to the sides and the top to that new area and it looks awesome
