Arcadian-Class | Class C Dropship & Forward Operating Base | Starfield Ship Build | Glitch Guide

[@High_Key]

***POST 1.13.61 AUGUST UPDATE DISCLAIMER:*** With the recent update removing Flipping, Variant Swap and Duplication as we used to know it, merging certain parts together in this build like the reactor, grav drive, and fuel tank will require a different process. If you're ok with mods, you could simply just use a mod like Better Ship Snaps and Ship Building Tweaks as a replacement for all Glitches, however, Duplication is still available as a vanilla glitch method but with a slight difference: Select the part you want to Duplicate downwards, and select the corresponding Nova Bracer indicated in the video. Then Duplicate both parts. The parts will Duplicate in place instead of Duplicating downwards like what is shown in the video. Simply select the Duplicated part and then press Space (Accept), and the part should Duplicate downwards. Slightly different, just an extra step but with the same outcome if done correctly. You could theoretically accomplish any glitch method with just Duplication, so it's good we still have this in some capacity. If you still have trouble, I recommend watching this video from JRamosWorks Gaming Fun. He details how to do certain glitches that still work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qafUgn-GlJylhsUsi=qYNrmQnUEqscn-vt I'll continue to do full on build guides utilizing both glitching and mods and will detail everything out.

The sheer beauty of these ships are the compact and tight design like a compact sports car or and ITX computer. It just give you everything you need in a simple compact form factor. And putting it together is like putting together a Lego set, It is so rewarding in the end. Can't appreciate these enough.

[@High_Key]

I was fortunate enough to be able to play with a lot of Lego growing up, especially Star Wars sets, and it definitely helps that this makes me feel like a kid playing with Lego again. And you said it..that feeling you get when the tinkering pays off is such a rewarding feeling. Thank you brotha!

Love the fact that when it’s landed it literally looks like a HeadQuarters for a UC Commander of some sort.

[@High_Key]

That’s awesome to hear, totally the vibe I was going for with this.

[@williamludwick77]

26:38 nice to see use of the new Hab customizations. Good looking ship as well.

[@High_Key]

Thought it made sense to add a couple of bunks in there and either use the entire hab as a prisoner cell (as long as no weapons are mounted for them to use 😅), or offer additional crew habitation for troopers who will be dropped into battle. The new interior decoration features are an absolute game changer

[@williamludwick77]

@@High_Key oh definitely... First thing I thought about was a 1x1 to match the ones I've seen on disabled ships (Deimos one comes to mind). And how nice it will finally be to reduce the overall size of ships or at least fit them a bit better and place whatever we want instead of being forced to use certain Habs for beds.

[@High_Key]

@@williamludwick77 Have you had a chance to try it out? I haven't used a Deimos 1x1 but I'm working on a build that has a 1x1 HopeTech Companionway as the entrance for the Landing Bay and even with the central ladder, I was able to fit a spacesuit/weapon/industrial workbench + a cooking station and a fridge. The latter two are thrown in because the only other hab is a captain's quarters and I wanted some sort of "kitchen" in the ship for roleplay purposes. Now that I think about it, the Deimos 1x1's might be better because the interior walls are angled differently. The HopeTech ones don't have too many flat surfaces to mount things like weapon racks, and I would think the Deimos ones would. Definitely will be fun to try a smaller build with a tricked out 1x1 hab.

[@PixelSplash999]

I need to build up my skill set to start building something like this. Awesome build, lovely looking ship.

[@High_Key]

Thank you very much! If you ever get around to making this one, let me know if you have any questions, and I’ll be more than happy to help!

[@PixelSplash999]

@@High_Key Thanks mate. Most appreciate that.

[@anthon0360]

The legendary ship, in the flesh!! Or metal 🤔😜

[@High_Key]

Definitely in the metal for this one heh

[@BearyCoolGaming76]

Dude! Another great breakdown. Excellent production value here 🍻

[@High_Key]

Much appreciated dude! Just havin some fun with it 🍻

[@Steve92583]

Beautiful video. Your work Is incredibile. The star rider is one of the best ship that I have ever seen on YT about starfield until now. Keep going on this video. I have done a Copy of the star rider in my game and Is my main ship. But I chose different weapon. But nice Job XD

[@High_Key]

Can't begin to tell you how humbled I am by this comment, thank you very much! I'm right there with you, the Star Rider is also my personal favorite. And with the new interior decorations update, it's even more optimized now!

[@MarkJohnson-ur2xq]

Another awesome build!

[@High_Key]

Thank you Mark!

[@mano1b-ys5ii]

super ship video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@High_Key]

@@mano1b-ys5ii thank you very much!

[@vladarinsaado4452]

That was by far the BEST ship build I've seen since game launch. That was amazing. You are a very talented person. I dont mean to be rude, but were you copying a Picture? Is that just imagination? How were you able to model like that? lol that was just incredible...

[@High_Key]

Wow, thank you very much! Very humbled by the comment. As far as the design inspiration for this one, I initially wanted to try and build something along the lines of the Resistance Transport that Leia lands in when she meets Rey and Finn for the first time in The Force Awakens, but the ship looked pretty awkward and so I went with something totally different which eventually led to this.

[@vladarinsaado4452]

@@High_Key You’re absolutely amazing. So incredibly talented. Your channel deserves to be much bigger.

[@High_Key]

@@vladarinsaado4452man I can’t begin totally you how much I appreciate that 🫡

[@liquidmark5081]

I like how it’s subtly asymmetrical

[@High_Key]

I think these subtle asymmetric builds are my favorite kinds. Next one I’m working on is a Tracker’s Alliance focused build and it’ll be light in its asymmetry as well.

[@liquidmark5081]

@@High_Key sweet. Looking forward to it

[@murderraven7770]

Yeah, that seems like a forward Op for Rangers tbh!

[@High_Key]

@@murderraven7770 I completely agree. It’s something I wish I could backtrack and switch up with my Star Anchor build as far as the lore.

[@MobiWanYT]

This is actually pretty cool. Would you consider doing voice over at a later stage?

[@High_Key]

Hey what’s up dude, I appreciate it! I’m definitely going to some time in the future. I’m also hoping it saves some time rather than having to subtitle each step.

[@MobiWanYT]

@@High_Key you could try a mix of both. Cos remember the titles also help with hard of hearing viewers

[@emdee0014]

Oooh. A big one. Nice.

[@High_Key]

She’s a chunky one that’s for sure, thank you!

[@Kubakpsv]

Looks great, tad slow thought XD

[@High_Key]

Thank you very much! Yeah she’s a chunky one. Decided to turn this into a dropship / forward operating base instead of a full on dropship to kind of justify that 😅

[@highmaintenance7879]

Noticed you manually unequipped the spacesuit and helmet. There's settings for that, visually speaking (you keep the stats, just looks unequipped if somewhere breathable). Though, was this a deliberate RP choice? Also great ship!

[@High_Key]

Much appreciated! You know I thought I had that setting for settlements in place but never got it to work in my ship. I must’ve accidentally turned that setting off for some reason and forgot to turn it back on. Was it fixed in the new update?

[@highmaintenance7879]

@@High_Key I don't think so. Just check your settings, I guess? IIRC youll wear street clothes if wherever you head for is habitable. Think it also works in habs at Outposts too, airlocks being what they are. Like I said though youll keep the spacesuit stats in a firefight, its just a visual thing, even the guards can remark about wearing a spacesuit indoors or in a safe zone.

[@High_Key]

@@highmaintenance7879 Btw, did get a chance to check, it's still doesn't automatically come off when in ships. In my experience, it only automatically comes off in actual settlements like New Atlantis or Akila, or inside Cydonia.

[@highmaintenance7879]

@@High_Key Good to know. Learn something new every day, and Ive got the achievements already.

[@DirgeofOmega]

Do enemies on Extreme make use of med packs/ship parts to heal? Is the AI improved at all?

[@High_Key]

I believe they do, as I’m pretty sure I noticed ship health regenerate pretty quickly on at least a couple ships. Their shields regenerate quicker as well. Overall, the AI feels about the same as Very Hard, I hadn’t notice anything too different there, only that ships pack a way more powerful punch if you’re taking sustained damage. So definitely need to remain mobile to avoid fire.

[@nathanvosburgh718]

i dont know if you take any requests but can you make a Ship called The Hyperion from the Show SkyLand?

[@High_Key]

You know if it looks good, I always will save it for inspo if not a full on rebuild! Wasn't familiar with the source material so just wanted to confirm if it was this ship here: skyland.fandom.com/wiki/Hyperion

[@nathanvosburgh718]

@@High_Key yeah thats the ship

[@jimmygrey6848]

Does anyone build ships without using merging or placement glitches?

[@High_Key]

In case you didn’t know, glitch builds can be done on PC and Xbox as they don’t require mods. It’s just a different way to snap parts together, but any platform can do it, it’s not something limited to PC only like mods. But if you just prefer to do vanilla builds in general, then best bet is to search for vanilla builds specifically. Wise Old Wizard is a popular channel that does Vanilla builds.

[@jimmygrey6848]

@@High_Key I'm aware. No hate intended by my comment either btw. Your vid came across my feed because I'm subbed to Wise old Wizard haha. It's a cool ship don't get me wrong. Personally I just find more satisfaction in creating a ship that looks somewhat decent within the intended limitations and parameters of the game.

[@High_Key]

@@jimmygrey6848 no worries there! Best of luck in your search. But if you do get bored of vanilla builds eventually, I highly recommending watching a video from JRamosWorks Gaming to get a detailed breakdown on how to glitch parts together. The flip/rotation alone takes a couple minutes to learn and that alone will completely transform builds. And I do try to detail things out in my videos as well.
