Seeing This ship in the first video was my inspiration for what is now my favorite ship I’ve ever built. I started out trying to copy yours but then I came up with a design I liked even more. Thank you for this video I was just saying to another creator last night I hope this becomes a whole genre of video, showing off specific ships you’ve designed.

Hey Morphologis, at @05:40, that _looks_ like a Combat Information Centre or CIC, and is a normal feature on modern warships. It lets the bridge be there for visual observation without crowding it with sensor consoles and such.

[@beckrussell6358]

Or CDC for the carrier folks

[@ZakEmber]

This design became my favorite in my first run, and now that I'm in my second run, I've already rebuilt it. The biggest problem with the ship building in this game is that you can't choose where the doors go, but this layout you put together has a fantastic flow from room to room, which is CRUCIAL, especially for C-class ships! I have this and a Crimson Wight III, and even though both have comparable stats, this one ABSOLUTELY smokes the other C-Classes in terms of interior design flow. The layout makes sense, feels very logical in terms of placement, and the flow is fantastic! There are so many videos out right now for ship building, but this design here is the best I've seen. Other creators might make bigger ships or make ships that look like the vessels from Halo or Star Wars, but this ship was both a lore-friendly design AND incredibly functional! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@ViviFuchs]

That bridge is my favorite one. I made a ship centered around that bridge because it gives you a great view for combat awareness. Also, it's so open and luxurious.

​@Morphologis Hey Morphologis! I love the design, but any ideas why mine says the cockpit needs to be connected to the landing bay, as well as ship exceeds max length?

[@tomrebergen6642]

@@aaronsandman749 I fixed that by making the bottom hab, connected to the landing bay, a 2x1 instead of a 3x1 and moving the landing bay up 1 space. This gets rid of those errors, and then when you swap out the bay for the one in the video, you can change the hab back to a 3x1. It has to do with the type of landing bay he speaks about: Ladder vs. door

[@thediamondiknight9777]

You've really made such a beautiful ship Morph, definitely going to take a lot of inspiration from you when designing mine

[@insiditious6203]

U pretty much just made what I had in mind this whole time watching KZbin videos on this, even down to layout of single central ladder and captain’s quarters being behind the bridge. My inspiration was the harrower class dreadnought from Star Wars old republic era, and yours is almost exactly what I was had envisioned with some minor exceptions like color, hab interiors, and weapon choices. S tier ship, A++ on the vid, big thumbs up! can’t wait to build mine.

[@vysian]

Love this ship design, definitely going to have a go at building it! Would be useful to have a list of the required skills for all the components somewhere, so you at a glance know what to target if you don't have them already.

[@munky342]

Just get Starship design to rank 4. At that point you will likely also have piloting rank 4. Any parts that are a no-show at that point just mean levelling up. At level 60 (I believe) all parts will be available.

[@boxforusa8970]

Level 60 starship design rank 4 and piloting rank 4. I built this then modified it, with a better reactor (shear flow) and better storage modules (1480 storage per) that fit perfectly on the undercarriage area. I also got rid of the missiles and instead but 7 auto turrets on this thing. You sacrifice mobility, but i have almost 10k storage and the auto turrets literally delete everything around me in space. Like they are deleting things I’m not even looking at. If I want to board something i just reduce the power on the turrets two 1-2 and then when the shields are about to go down i turn them off and hit the ship with the broken af EM weapon with 124 EM dmg per and I have two of them.

[@TheRikp990]

By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Sons of Warvan.... that's a neato looking ship.

[@socalson3114]

Literal heaven-send. After seeing the massive Diemos bridge in your first video I started planning out a ship look I wanted to go for, incorporating that bridge, and having two front prongs, etc. And then viola, at the end of the video, there's basically the design I was mentally planning. Now I know how to build it/where to start from. 10/10

[@sergeantsapient]

A couple of things I noticed trying to replicate this: - The HopeTech 2x1 Captain's quarters, the Taiyos spline B, and the Sextant 400cm cargo holds are not on Deimos. You'll have to get those elsewhere. - The shield generator requires level 30. - I only see 3 rocket launchers, not 4, and the video skipped the placement of the 2 side ones. Otherwise, great ship. I replicated it as much as I could and haven't had a live fire test with it yet.

[@VoodooV1]

yeah I'm really curious how he mounted those two launchers on the wings at an angle like that. As for the rest, I was able to get everything except for the shield generator at Deimos. I did read somewhere that stock can be random sometimes so dunno if that accounts for the difference.

[@sergeantsapient]

@@VoodooV1 it's the vertical weapon mount. It's under structural components. I don't remember which vendors sell it but most of them seem to carry it. It actually allows you to attach two weapons vertical to each other so I think it's a little bit more efficient than the horizontal weapon mount.

[@philipellis9527]

Best ship building guide on youtube. A lightbulb moment for me in this guide was showing how you can really get an idea for how you want your ship to look by first drafting an outline of its basic shape with your habs. Then you can build out from their shaping it exactly how you want it to look

[@CorwinS-kd6yu]

This was really amazing. Thank you for show us all. I will definitely take notes and incorporate them wherever possible in my own builds

[@Roamingfirebat]

I have spent so many hours designing my class A ship and now I have even more ideas that need to be used. Thank you for the awesome video! I hope I’m the future we will be able to make even bigger ships😊

[@jaffarebellion292]

For realism purposes, I would say having the engineering section so easily accessible from the main entrance where boarders are most likely to access the ship may not be the most secure option. Vital systems should probably be kept out of reach of anyone first boarding. As it stands, anyone in the airlock could toss a grenade and cripple your whole vessel. Not something to worry about in vanilla Starfield, but a few years down the line when mods make ship security more relevant, it may be something to consider.

[@gronkasaures-rex9711]

Nice analysis lol

[@thmspayne]

Fire code Andy over here lol

[@OwlQuil]

Real world security concerns like this have been on my mind while designing my ship. While not actually a problem I like the realism aspect of it. Being unable to control and customize the interiors of modules is quite annoying and just leads to having to have companionways everywhere instead of say corridors or something. I really hope they (bethesda or modders) give us the ability to control flow through the ship more. It took me hours but I finally got the ladders and doors in a secure manner.

[@M.R.B.]

You said what was on my mind. One would expect engineering to be one of the primary areas for boarders to commandeer in a space game with boarding as a feature.

[@TechnoMinarchistBall]

I make my armory be the hab that connects to the bording hab, like it is in the Expanse.

[@titan_o7]

It’s very interesting seeing the modules and habs Bethesda designed coming from a sailor’s perspective. I really like the bridge specifically because it most closely matches the bridge on our submarines with the map/command table in the center and seating and control panels off to the port and starboard sides. Awesome job man. Definitely going to build this next time I’m on Starfield!

[@HelplessTeno]

I have exactly 0 creative cells in my body, so have pretty much went off ship build videos since I got the Razorleaf. Finally got my Starship Design and Piloting to rank 4 so I decided to find a mid-late game ship that I wouldn't be changing for a long time, until new parts unlock at level 60. This ship is perfect, it fits every type of hab so it truly feels like a flying-base, which is what I wanted from the start. I modified the cargo, added two extra landing gear at the back, and loaded up with 4 x Auto Beams, 4 x Auto Beam Turrets, and 4 x Auto Alpha Turrets. The thing has it all minus mobility, which I don't care much about with 12 weapons. Appreciate you throwing this thing together, it's awesome.

[@keepemclassic6791]

Really like this design. It’s what I made my main ship although I upgraded the grav drive and generator thing on the back. I also added those cargo hold so they extended all along the undercarriage of the ship giving me around 4,000 storage. Doing so I had to install 2 additional landing gear in the rear so it could take off. I also switched up some of the Habs brands to give it a different style. Overall 10/10

Hear me out, I would love to have a series made by Morph that is exactly this stuff. Just great videos of building different types of ships. Especially coming from Morph, not only is the exterior great, but the interior too and structure wise like he mentioned makes sense with each floor having a purpose. Way better than what I can do, I’ve been trying to make a fighter, something you’d typical see in star citizen, but I’ve tried with the builder for awhile now and just can’t seem to scratch the itch I’m trying to get. So having Morph to make a series like this would be great for me to have a guiding hand. Things like making a cargo truck hauler, or a fighter, battleship, smuggling ship, etc.

[@user-xe6rj4yr9v]

Just wanted to call out how much I enjoyed this video! As a (former) architect myself, I really enjoy the thought you gave to the experience of the *interior* space of the ship -- so many ships in build videos look great on the outside but are a complete mess when trying to navigate their interiors. I *love* that the interior layout of this ship is coherent and well-organized -- so much so that even as I introduced a more powerful reactor, better armaments and shields (and larger engines to accommodate all that extra weight!), the one element that has remained unchanged is the hab configuration around which you designed this. BTW, the basis of this ship design is so well considered that even with all those upgrades I've still managed to achieve 96 mobility, 140 speed, and 30LY range -- this thing absolutely ROCKS. I've built many ships I've seen in build videos in the past month since launch, but TBH this is the thus far the only one of those that was sufficiently solid/well-reasoned that I'd not found myself wanting to scrap/sell it after a pretty short usage in the game -- WELL DONE!

[@beatsandthat]

Yeah that's 100% one of the best ship designs I've seen so far - inside and out. Amazing stuff!

[@RedcubeYT]

[@disky01]

I'd like to think that if explosive decompression doesn't exist in the game yet, modders will find a way, so it's absolutely a good idea to think about ships like they're real objects imo. Plus it just feels good to have something that makes sense for human beings to exist in. As expected of a human-minded architect, Morph! Great job. And of course I loved the Galaxy Quest reference, haha.

[@D3ranged982]

Awesome design. Only thing I changed in mine is I added another companion 1x1 module in front of the captain's quarters because I feel uncomfortable that whoever needs to go to the bridge, it has to go through there :). so I had to modify it's end a bit so that the captain's q doesn't stick out to ugly in the back. Extended the bumpers, added an extra spine on top and a deimos belly aft under the captains q module sticking out. All in all nice ship :D

[@renegadegray1890]

Are there any other Expanse fans that saw Deimos parts and thought "Martian Ship," only to find out the shipyard was at Mars? I'm choosing to take this as an easter egg lol.

[@markniesen5765]

Hey sir, love your ship. It's a great base to customize, and I fell in love with the layout instantly. I did some revisions on the placement of some of the habs, if you or anyone else are interested in my $0.02, based on my experience being on military naval ships, and felt it appropriate as Deimos is supposed to be the in-lore big military manufacturer: Engineering Deck- replaced your engineering bay with the workshop and then placed the Deimos Engineering Bay B on both sides of the Grav Drive with one connection point to the workshop. I plan to eventually place the reactor (104DS Mag from Dogstar) forward of the Grav Drive, which will line it up with the ends of the two engineering bays. Concept is that an engineering deck would want to have as much access to the reactor and drive as possible, and would want the workshop as close as possible to manufacture parts and do repairs. I tried to use causeways to fully enclose it, which is why I used the B bay as the A bay doesn't have a pass-thru connection point on the forward end of the bay, but the game did wonkyness with them and had them connect up into the mess hall instead towards the inside of the ship to make a full ring around the reactor. Instead, I used the open spaces for cargo holds (Polo 2000's from the Eckland shipyard) and the spline you used from Taiyo. Mess deck- replaced the armory with Living Quarters 2x1 as the port 'wing.' Put the Infirmary on the starboard side directly connected to the 2x2 Living Quarters, and then placed the Science Lab as the starboard 'wing.' Reasoning is that the infirmary would want medications/drug production directly attached and under their control for monitoring of drugs, and the living quarters gives it a good secondary semi-private space feel. Ships commonly have this as a sort of place where you can make personal calls, or sometimes just private spaces for playing games instead of in the middle of high traffic common areas. I don't like how the mess hall connects through the infirmary, but like you said, it's just how the game works (until some modder fixes the pass-thru connection points). I'm justifying it by saying the mess hall tables and space can be used as emergency beds in case of a mass casualty event. The living space will be the triage space, critical patients go into the infirmary, everyone else gets put in the mess hall for treatment. The starboard All-In-One hab has a smaller ante-room with a table I've personally dubbed as the Officer's Mess, and the connecting living quarters are the Officer's Quarters. The port quarters are regular crew quarters. Command Deck- I placed the Computer Core on the port side of the Battle Stations 2x2 and moved the Captain's Quarters forward of the Battle Stations module. No military/combat ship would have foot traffic going through the Captain's Quarters to get anywhere, much less the bridge. That's one of the busiest areas, and the way the connection point works has this placement making sense as right when you enter the Captain's Quarters, there's a table with a monitor and a white board on a half wall, making it a sort of mini-ready room connected to the CIC for the OIC to give briefings to the Captain privately. Bridge Deck- I put the Armory where the Captain's Quarters used to be here. Reasoning is that you would typically want some sort of guard/checkpoint before bridge access (and the CIC, but two armories is a bit weird. I think there are Armory Habs from other manufacturers that have beds in them and just a few weapons cases instead of a full on weapons layout, and I feel those would be more appropriate since it would be firewatch/guard rotation station with rest beds for switching out, but haven't gotten around to hunting down which ones I like the look of most and trying it) and the docking ring shoves the boarding party right into the gun barrels of the security team stationed in the Armory. It's not an ideal placement, but because of how the docking works, the only other alternative would be to have it go through the underside of the ship, directly into the engineering bays, which you don't want boarders to have access to, either. The only alternative I can think of would be to have a docking ring connecting to the side of the mess hall. Which is honestly where it would be, but I haven't found any low-profile side docking rings. The ones I've found just ruin the silhouette of the ship. Where the Reactor Used To Be- I struggled with what to do with this space. At the moment I have a Polo 2000 Cargo Hold attached to the underside of the Armory and just an open space below that. Once I find an Armory hab with beds that I like the look of, I'll be placing it under the existing Bridge Deck Armory as a security point for the CIC and then probably putting the cargo hold under that, which should fill the space nicely. I also dumped the missiles and moved the EM weapons to where you had the missiles, and used the 3 mount spline there, mounting 3 EM weapons. Gives it that old school Wave Motion Gun feel. I also wanted to mount some guns on the underside or the sides of the ship for better arcs of fire, but well, the game doesn't allow for that. More work for the modders. Hope my rambling suggestions made any kind of sense!

[@HeruKane]

The docking port that opens horizontal into the ship rather than vertical is awesome and honestly I want more of that. Also I wish we had more control of doors and where ladders (which I hate, wish it was stairs or lifts) could be. So one of the few things I would change is the captain's quarters being where the ladder comes out of. I would maybe push things forward or backward, not sure, but I would want it to be a causeway entrance. Honestly though this is awesome! Love the design choices and the attention to logic and aesthetics.

[@zenkim6709]

Unfortunately, it looks like Starfield gamers will be limited to contending w/ the seemingly nonsensical (or at least not fully predictable) door / ladder algorithm in the shipbuilder code -- that is, unless modders come in later to save the day! That said, I've gathered the following from other Starfield gamers: - The algorithm seems to prioritize ladder placement according to the location of the landing bay module -- that is, it favors placing ladders as close to where you installed your landing bay so that ladders either connect directly to it or get placed as close as possible. This suggests that (at least for the time being) medium- to large-scale ship design should "revolve" around a column of stacked companionway modules placed directly on top of the landing bay (or right next to it, if it's a sidedoor type of bay) w/ all the Hab modules branching off of the vertical "gangway" column. - The algorithm also seems to actively "hate" interior loops, as it apparently looks for the absolute simplest solution to guarantee access for each Hab unit -- hence the "crazy maze" issue for gamers who don't realize this before finishing a ship build / modification session. For small-scale ships, the obvious solution is to make each Hab connect to only 1 other Hab, thus forcing the algorithm's "hand" -- but this quickly becomes less predictable w/ larger-scale ships as you pack in Habs more densely. One possible solution is to add in some 1x1 causeway (corridor-only) Hab pieces to force the placement of doors (which can also force the algorithm to allow for loops!) but this is not always practical due to mass ratings & the limited availability of such parts. Furthermore, it also appears that some (if not all) Hab modules have "preferred" spots for door placement, meaning that if you line up 2 or more Habs to touch each other so that a door could be placed in 1 of 2 or more spots, the actual door placement can seem downright idiotic if not insane!

Well done! beautiful design that honestly feels like a capital ship that can take on whole fleets.

[@Cheese-uq9in]

ty. this gave me some good insight on how to build my ship, if i ever get to that part.

[@ChristopherMartone]

I LOVE this. I did something wrong because my interior is all jacked. It's the only thing I hate, but everything else is amazing. I tried so many times to get a good-looking ship that either wasn't a giant phallic object or wasn't just a big box. I followed your guide which was amazing, step-by-step and easy to follow. I didn't have a few of the unlocks so I had to substitute. And of course, the cockpit you can only get at the Deimos staryard it seems, so I had to make due with a temporary one and then fly there and edit at the ship builder. Otherwise, I added a couple extra wing details here and there and I colored it a little red and blue to go with the Constellation theme. Thank you for this tutorial and making sense of this very frustrating ship builder. Your original ship looks amazing and I am so happy with my tiny modifications. I have not attempted ship combat, and could not afford most of the weapons you used, but we'll see how she fares. Hopefully good enough that I don't have to keep abandoning quests that send me into ship combat. One of my tweaks was hiding the shield generator under the back with the power thingy. Maybe they won't be able to hit it!

[@Compton3clipsed]

The problem with doing a tutorial this way, is that if we don't already have the parts, we can't save the ship to travel back and forth between Deimos and Taiyo for different parts. A list or setup beforehand would have been much less frustrating than having to entirely start over because I didn't have the right Spine B for the ship. You rushed through and skipped a bunch of parts towards the end, including some weapons it looks like attached to the back wings or next to them.

[@WhoIsHaze]

This man made a complete masterpiece. He’s playing the game on another level

[@shaydowplay7992]

Thanks for this! It's such a great design to build first then personalize! I did things like took the grav drive on the bottom since I wanted a bigger one and sticking a bigger one sorta in the front where the missiles went. Then mounted the missiles right in front of the bridge but amazingly not only did it look ok outside, the look from inside the ship was great! I put the cowling on the front top slot of the J-52 Gamma Grav drive I stuck in it's place and it looks really sleek! I also removed your cargo containers and first attached a 500T He3 Tank to the belly / bracer. I then added another TWO 500T He3 Tanks to either side, one on the left and one on the right. This gave me a lot more fuel. In place of your cargo container I then added 2 Galleon s202 cargo hold's, one on the right and one on the left of the bracer. All these differences DID add to my overall mass and bring me up from your 2128 to 2474, but I have a 30 LY jump, enough fuel to MAKE those jumps, and an increase of max hull from 938 to 1510(!) AND a cargo hold that went from 1170 to 2200. Overall I am very happy and I thank you for giving us this base to begin learning and building on. I forgot to add I had to delete the bracer and replace it with a landing gear. Crap and that I moved the missiles to the top of the bridge.

[@Shadow_Lunatale]

I don't even play Starfield and I totally enjoyed the tour and the how to build section. Very well designed and great explanation behind the decisions why certain parts sit where they are.

[@ChrisH78]

You'll not be able to use the deimos landing bay in place of the taiyo one as you likely will breach size limits and or the bay needing to be connected to the cockpit. To get around this remove the two from pointy bits, remove the 1x3 engineering bay, then push the landing bay forward a bit. Then go get the Taiyo landing bay.

I built a Stroud version of this ship, I like how the edges blend a bit better, still used the Deimos trim. I used the Silver Eagle as the base, the reactor is 'A' and has the same power output thought has less health and regen. I also used the cargo and engines from the Eagle. It still wrecks things so far, even being a smaller 'A'

For anyone like me (or maybe I’m the only one) the DC401 reactor with 29 power is actually the starter in that series of reactors. I saw in someone else’s video there’s actually a DC402 and DC403 that are each more powerful - but they must be level locked because I haven’t found any for sale yet. I’m only level 28 but I definitely plan on upgrading from the 401 to the 403 as soon as possible because it provides something like an additional 10 units of power.

@@B.D.E. If the crossbar is at the center of the ship, it doesn't achieve the same effect. The L design breaks the AI so that they literally *can't* hit your ship. It's not really the way *I'd* want to play, but it is a thing.

[@severdislike4222]

The more I get into starfield the more it's weird disjunctive design comes to the forefront. The biggest source of irritation right now is entirely tied to ship part restriction by level and it's starting to grate. There are three filters the game imposes to actually building your dream ship. 1.) Player level - High end reactors will not show up in shops until level 60, ever. Some NPC ships will have reactors on them that are well outside of your ability to buy. 2.) Flight skill restriction (Where the damn check should be, not player level) as C class requires flight rank 4 and high end equipment requires starship design, a tier 3 (x8 levels dedicated to ship skills minimum) ship skill. 3.) The least of the lot - currency. It actively gets aggravating far sooner than later when there nonsense filters and reasonable ones thrown together to get in the way of building what you want to.

[@bluepoint5786]

Your ship is the most important thing, I understand your point but you have to choose what you really want to do, some people choose to deal more damage with weapons or outpost building , but I prefer to have a nice ship first

[@severdislike4222]

@@bluepoint5786 The existence of the A-type proton beam weapons effectively negates the need for damage output as out-ranging incoming fire is easy as far as ship damage is concerned same for B and C at 3500m out, missiles are technically further range but a short sneeze of boost loses them and makes you untargetable for two seconds. As far as fps damage is concerned it runs into the same gating issues along with weapon modifications being destroyed on removal. We both prefer having a nice ship. Having that many gates put in front of a build system is irksome and counter to the philosophy "Making my stuff cool"
