I discovered that, if you get caught with some contraband and you've got lots of stolen items on you. You get ported to the UC Headquarters or whatever it's called. When you spawn, there is a box behind you full of all your stuff. You can then simply pick the lock and take all your stuff back! :)

Not sure if anyone has already found this out yet, but.... Ship building: If you keep getting the detached module error, the game can pinpoint what part(s) are not attached. Simply double click on any part of your ship and then take you cursor away. The whole ship, minus the issue parts will be red, so if it's not red, it's not attached :)

I've not heard anyone talk about thrusters in ship combat, and while I saw the perk and unlocked it, it was around 30 or 40 hours of gameplay later when I discovered what it really was. hold down RB in your ship to use thrusters, and it lets you do A LOT of cool shit, and takes space combat to an entirely new level. Thrusters will allow quick, evasive lateral and horizontal movements, BUT even cooler than that, RB works like a drifting button. You can go max speed, hold RB, flip 180 degrees and be essentially moving in reverse at your top speed and fire at anyone behind you, it allows much much much faster turn arounds and makes it almost impossible for enemies to evade your targeting

[@sporksabre]

One thing he missed in space combat: The first rank of Ship piloting gives you access to a thruster mode. If you hold down the thruster button (RB on console) not only can you strafe up, down, left and, right; you can also spin your ship around while continuing to move the direction you where going when you hit the button. Ie: if you are being attacked from behind.... boost away, hold the thruster button, spin 180 and fire at the enemies while still speeding away from them. It was a game changer in combat

[@LudoTechWorld]

For the boost tips, if you have 1 point in Piloting, you can also use the thrusters to stop it (so on PC: shift then space bar). Thrusters are also very useful to face a ship following you while still moving away from it.

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

👍

[@Kyle-nm1kh]

I recommend against using shift + space bar for anything that is repetitive. Hurt my hand that way on league of legends when I made that Hotkey center the camera over my character (changed it from default). Hand got really messed up and forced me to quit playing League of legends. So now I'm playing Xbox

[@LudoTechWorld]

@@Kyle-nm1kh It's always good advice to remind people to pay attention to their hands but here it's shift then you wait 1 sec and space bar (or S if you use the technique presenting in the video), and you will have to do it maybe 5 to 15 times in a space fight then wait an hour for another space fight... I think that just typing this text was probably more demanding than that ^^

[@Kyle-nm1kh]

@LudoTechWorld it's just pressing them at the same time which can mess up the palm of your hand. If you are not spreading both pinky and thumb at the exact same time then it shouldn't be an issue

[@EricWeimer-ib4qs]

You can just hit space, you don't need the shift key.

I think the game mentions the "use boost to break missle lock" mechanic when you go to the UC flight simulators. Either that, or a loading screen tooltip. I remember that the game specifically tells you about it at some point.

[@Kyle-nm1kh]

Loading screens aren't what they used to be. Not enough time to read even 1 sentence lol

[@DannyboyO1]

You know, it never even occurred to me to do anything else about a lock. Just "I should be 'not here'." and hit the gas. I was just glad it worked. I've seen a sillier method tho. Using structure components to make an antenna UP and another to one side, so when the AI aims for the center of the ship, there's no ship there. Missiles will just spin next to you.

[@TonyRush]

Great video. At the risk of being pedantic, local time (4:44) refers to the amount of time it takes for a planet to revolve one time around its own axis. The amount of time a planet takes to revolve around its own sun would be a year. Anyway, it doesn't change the effect we're observing in the game. It's just weird that so many creators are making this same errant statement. Everyone watching each other's videos?

If you need to bypass the bounty scan in NA you can jump and run up the sloped glass roof that is aimed at the un-used pad beside where you land. I would presume that the area in which you'll be scanned is a vertical volume tho and you'll need a boostpack to get down safely. This can also be used to hop onto the flat-top cone then onto the roof of the building to go around to the pad that the other ships come in and land on. They're all inaccessible but its kinda fun to let em come in right there near you.

[@ShaggyRogers1]

For NA, you can just boost jump up the wall next to the scan ramp and then just run down the path, and vice versa if you are leaving. For avoiding scan when smuggling out of Neon, you can just jump from Ebbside down to the landing platform.

[@MrCotto01]

Also a nice contraband cache on the beach of Paradiso in Porrima , discovered this after marring Sara. Gal bank at Akila City has the vault opened after you complete this first mission. There is an unlimited locker that you can store anything in. As the game progresses you also will get keys that you can use in this vault to loot various rich peoples lockers. I'm not sure if you can do this at all the Gal banks vaults or not. I would guess you can.

That boost governing was a great tip - much thanks Buzz. Any tips on targeting engines? I'm trying to figure it out but in the heat of battle makes it difficult to experiment (yes I know about the flight simulator as an option). When I'm targeted into the ship how do you focus on the ENG components on controller... I keep flittering around the grav, eng, other parts... and I'm annoyed I can't lock into just the ENG parts? Anyone have any pointers?

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

Once you are locked on, enter targeting mode (R on PC), from there you can move left or right using A or D to switch between the different enemy ship systems to target.

There's some weirdness with contraband scans. Just a shielded cargo hold got me a 50% chance, adding a multifrequency jammer bumped it to 80% (even though it says it adds 50% on it's own) and 1 point in deception got me to 90% which tracks with what it says at least.

Uc vangaurd also has clear skies missions each system you rid of spacers, pirates , or ecliptic nets about 120 - 130 exp Ive done this 30 times so far so it seems like its unlimited

[@Skalli10]

I'm on NG10+, level 100 and 200 hours in. Contraband just isn't worth it unfortunately. The only exception is if you're straight going for crimson fleet and need some money. Even then, stealing weapons and selling them is way easier as you don't have to evade the scans on regular systems. Ohterwise a really nice series! You really should get into ship weapon systems. Nothing beats three weapon types of particle weapons (3km range).

Not surprised at your view counts at all. You are quickly becoming THE Starfield KZbinr. Well done.

[@Nicherie]

Thank you! Another very helpful video!

[@zecuse]

Fun fact, local time (LT) is based on the planet's/moon's "solar" time concept which is how long it takes to rotate once on its axis and point exactly back at its star (e.g. use noon as a reference). Universal time (UT) appears to be based on Earth's solar time. However, you probably know that not all planets/moons rotate at the same speed and this is reflected in the different amounts of UT that passes based on which location you're at. This is accounted for in the "sidereal" time concept which is how long it takes for a body to rotate once on its axis and point exactly back at a reference star, not its sun, in its sky. You can sync times between planets by referencing the same star for both of them. Knowing this, the reason why waiting on Venus equates to a ridiculous UT difference becomes obvious. Venus' rotation on its axis is EXTREMELY slow, lasting ~243 Earth days! There's a formula for determining solar day length based on Earth time. Since Venus also has a retrograde rotation, it uses a + instead of a - and the formula is: sidereal time / ( 1 + [sidereal time / sidereal orbital period] ). This comes out to ~116.7 days which Bethesda seems to have capped at 100 UT HOURS to keep things simple. This formula doesn't work for tidally locked bodies though, so I'm not quite sure what Bethesda has done for them. It's weird that Bethesda has chosen to make each planet have a "24" hour period, though. A side effect that this creates is the weird situation we get with vendors as explained at 5:12 in the video. And since extractors are also based on UT, they also get steroids when you wait on these slower rotating bodies!

EM weapons: a bit skeevy on my part, but covert missions can suck on Very Hard. I turn it down to easy when I don't want to kill, because then the disruptor is a simple 1tap incapacitator. Really feels more 'techninja' that way. Red Mile cache: you don't even need to make it back to a TA, the bartender there will buy contraband! In general she is a good alternative to The Den!

Something I found out in not sure is common knowledge or not, but when scanning for fauna and Flora for surveys, if you pick a random land spot on the planet map it will tell you what kind of biome that is, and also if you have fully scanned that area for Flora and fauna.

BUT! and this is a huuuuuge but! if you become Starborn. you'll lose everything else, and i do mean EVERYTHING ELSE! you have now left your former universe behind and entered a brand spanking new universe which HAD a version of yourself previously. but that version DIED. as far as i know you'll lose the stuff you collected previously: Artifacts! ammo, weapons, helmets, spacesuits, outposts, healing items, resources, accessories, ships in your inventory, hidden loot you've stuck in various safes houses and Constellation HQ/The Lodge, junk collectibles and other ephemera. the ONLY things you get to keep personally is your: Name, Appearance, your 'background specifications' you created in-game after touching the First Artifact, the 'powers' you earned from the Temples you visited in your first universe, AND the Skills and the Ranks inside those Skills you've earned. your OVERALL character level goes down to ONE as well! also, after becoming Starborn the ENTIRE 'quest system' for the game is reset. i believe that reset goes all the way 'back in time' to RIGHT AFTER Barret lands at the Argos Extractors mine to pick up the Artifact piece from you at the beginning of the game. the you that was in this new universe DIED during the Crimson Fleet pirate attack at the Argos Extractors mine and Barrett took the Artifact to the Lodge/Constellation HQ. basically? you not only changed universes, but you WENT BACK IN TIME! all of the Constellation members are alive, well, and don't know you from Adam's Housecat because the you... 'here'... is dead and didn't make it to The Lodge. Artifacts AND Temples now have NEW locations! they're NOT on the planets or in the star systems you previously found them on! giving all your info voluntarily to Constellation (or you can bully your way or other options) as their Ally (revealing you are Starborn) or rejoining up with them (perhaps keeping your Starborn status a secret, i dunno!) reveals the change in Artifact and Temple locations. but your data does help Constellation find the 'new locations' more easily. now, as far as i know EVERYTHING ELSE other than the Artifacts and the Temples is EXACTLY the same, mission/quest content etc. as your 'original universe'... i think. except for the 'back in time' reset. as for the Starborn presently in this 'new universe'... i don't know a single thing! :D as to loot and locations for said loot and whatnot, i've no clue! i hope i haven't spoiled you totally and ruined anything! if so, i apologize and hope you'll still enjoy Starfield. :)

[@TXFDA]

To add to the Universal time thing. Venus. 1 hour = 100 hours on Venus. Perfect for resetting inventories (including the ship vendor). Works well when you need your resources to extract faster in an outpost too. Wait 24 hours on Venus, and every single storage container the extractors are sending to, will be full by the time you get back. I had 50 storage containers completely empty, with 8 extractors running to 'em. I went off to Venus, waited, came back. All 50 containers were 100% full. I ended up taking everything out and had about 8000 of each resource. I mean, each resource only sells for like, 1 credit each. But, that's still like 16000 credits. OR, do the XP farm thing and just farm Aluminum and Iron, and turn those into Adaptive Frames. You can make 99 frames at a time, in a couple seconds. If you sleep first, that's a little over 100 xp every couple of seconds for doing almost nothing.

A great way of making money I have found is to build a settlement mission post and then do as many crimson fleet assassination missions as possible but don't destroy the last crimson fleet ship instead board it and look for contraband, I have found on every occasion between 1:00 and 3 contraband worth over 10,000 credits each What I do is I collect these bring them back to my settlement and store them inside a containers until I want to do a cash run I then fly to these towns sell my contraband and make hundreds of thousands of credits on top of the rewards you usually get for doing the missions themselves

[@jaffasholva7738]

You can take contraband anywhere without shielded cargo. Just land on a random location before they scan. Throw the contraband on the ground. Go back into orbit and then let them scan you. Then you can pick it back up and land at a poi. A bit of a hassle, but it's 100% great success.

[@Kyle-nm1kh]

So if I'm reading you right you 1) travel to a planet you want to go that you can sell your contraband 2) drop it from inventory to floor of ship 3) get scanned with 100% success rate? What's the best way to sell contraband? Any special npc with lots of credits?

@@Kyle-nm1kh No, you land somewhere else on the planet or in the system where they don't scan you. Then drop the contraband. Then go back to where they scan you.

@Galiant2010 sorry I'm not fully following. How do you know where you get scanned? And if they scan you in a solar system or in orbit of a planet, how do you drop it off on that planets land?

You cannot land on poi, but you can anywhere else. Pick a random location and drop your contraband. Then go back into orbit and let them scan you. After the scan you are cleared to land anywhere in the system and they will not scan you again. So you can pick up the contraband and land in any city with the contraband. Spiffing Britt made a video about this cheat and more.

[@ironized]

Literally learnt the gray icons thing the hard way immediately before watching hahaha

[@jaisirko7259]

You forgot about the guy in the bar next to hopetech. He can give you the module for your ship to help de contraband

[@demonspawn2578]

You can also buy shielded cargo space at Red Mile

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

Mentioned directly in the video 👍

[@itsgawdamndan4275]

Your outpost's landing and modifying pad also has shielded cargo holds.

Hey there. Any idea how to roll a ship (on PC)? I've seen it done on console

[@coldwarsoldierliving6221]

I would like the see the ability to save locations such as planets that I want to frequent often into a favorites menu type. Also LT please let everyone know if there is a certain key to be pressed to perform a certain function that said key would be the same button to be pressed on an Xbox controller.

[@Aleksandar6ix]

Another red mile tip is to use amp and just run the mile without killing any beasts

[@hefeibao]

Yeah, I made that mistake first time (and died trying to kill something). Second two times (per quest) ran it without shooting anything).

[@hoofhearted4]

Me: already gave up on this game, but still here watching his tips just in case I decide to try again in the future.

[@adamcrux6829]

Space battles are still something I'm struggling with. I'm playing on PC with key board and mouse so there are so many different options for how to control the ship. I probably need to setup custom controls and that might help. But having to switch between the different systems while steering and firing weapons gets overwhelming fast.

[@Nemoticon]

@@BloodyCaesar22 Yes you can... any controller can work on a PC

[@BloodDrenched-y6i]

I use pc and ship combat is easy for me and my set up. I’m using my power mostly on shields and weapons then engines. You shouldn’t ever change power during combat. I keep around 50% of what’s needed for my weapons. It’s a good balance and let’s them recharge quick. They only thing you get for more power is quicker recharge or reloads. Missiles work just fine on one bar of power, keep most bars of energy on laser or ballistics. Those you tend to spam. Use space key to use thrusters. I usually thrust up or down and turn around as the enemies do drive buys. If you time it right you can keep your aim on the enemy the whole time. So really that’s the key. Use thrusters to keep the enemy in sight. You need one perk for thrusters. Also better ships are more durable, you really need a bigger ship if you don’t want to instantly die.

[@adamcrux6829]

@@BloodyCaesar22 Yeah I have a xbox series controller but I don't want to swap between controller and keyboard just for space fights. I do not want to use a controller for this kind of game anyway.

[@dissinlol]

Before you do battle make sure you allocate your ships points into weapons shield and engine.... I put nothing into grav drive Also use your ship thrusters they are your friend you'll be a top pilot in no time !!!

[@Blancos_Bricks]

Please help - washing stolen goods in The Den..... what am I doing wrong ? (PC controls) how do I go from 'Sell' to 'buyback' without leaving the menu ? Is there a key stroke I'm missing ? every time I try and tab out I get back to the shop scene and theres no buybacks available ??

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

After you sell the stolen items, press Tab to leave your specific inventory, then press Q to move to another inventory (Buy/Sell/Sell from Ship). Go to Buy, and all the way down is Buy Back. GOOD LUCK! 🤞

[@Blancos_Bricks]

@@LtBuzzLitebeer PERFECT ! Thank you. It was the Q key I was missing , it worked just as you said. great bit of help I couldn't find anywhere else, keep up the great work 👍

[@wtfronsson]

When your ship has low mobility, boost into thruster turn into boost is what you want to be doing. It's like not really having that low mobility. The above tip is especially valuable, because you can reach top speed with lower engine power by having less engines. It's kind of cheaty, but I guess it's the way Todd intended it. You can put a single 2-3 power A class engine on a huge ship of any class, power much more guns, haul all of the cargo etc. You still reach top speed fast, and those handbrake turns should help with maneuvering. What you gain in weapon power might just be worth it.

[@RandomZeroGravity]

With the same or a different rank. Does scan jammer stack?

[@DistinguishedMrt]

U deserve every like man. Thank you for reuploading the video. I was one of the victims lol. Nothing too major but its best to warn anyway.

Akila City is 28 hours for UT for 24 hours. Great for the Magic Puddle :)

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

👍

[@BETRvids]

Only feature I didn't know about here was the EM charge. Very useful tip for those quick takedowns.

[@cybercifrado]

It's also great for ammo conservation. Taser them all and then shotgun cleanup.

[@bop705]

Do you receive more money for contraband at a trade authority in systems that do scan or should I just continue going to the Den to sell?

[@Galiant2010]

The only benefit to smuggling somewhere vs the den is if there are merchants with a better credit cap or a planet with a high UT to PT ratio for resetting. Space stations are always 1:1, so the Den is just the one vendor with a 48hr reset time.

[@zedorda1337]

Grav jump distance is not determined by fuel tanks. The grav drive itself limits that. The fuel tanks only limit the length of the way points you can set. Way points can have several grav jumps in a single trip.

[@mattt233]

I'm going to have to do this next time I run The Red Mile. I need to get on the leaserboard!

[@geoserenity]

side note about contraband scans, planet icons are greyed out while you are being scanned. this is regardless of if you have contraband or not

[@lorenzovonmatterhorn7402]

120hrs in and haven't been to Neon, Akila or that crimson fleets station.... this game is soo weird to me.

[@derekcoaker6579]

Thanks for the spoiler warning, much appreciated.

[@stanleyjelic5639]

It's 49 hours UT. There's a store with a sign on New Atlantis that says "open 49 hours".

[@suprizeoptomist4680]

With that community post, I was kind of hoping you were going to point me at some Halo armor M$ had hidden in their new BSG game...

[@heyspookyboogie644]

Good to know stolen items don’t come up on contraband scans. Big time saver.
