EVERYTHING You Need To Know About FRIGATES In No Mans Sky 2023!!

[@Paycheck_Bravo]

Also, you will be contacted wherever you are if one of your frigates gets damaged. You will have the option to either force the frigate to complete the mission or return to the freighter for repairs. ALWAYS bring frigate home! Once your frigates reach S-class and you send them out with a 5-star fleet rating they will never take damage. Making sure your freighter has three S-class upgrades for every mission type greatly enhances fleet performance.

​@@dhgswiftkiller4581It's "wherever", though?

[@heatsrink01]

You don't nee do bring it back just repair when it returns. Also getting them to s rank it ez but takes a while

[@Lordoftheapes79]

@@heatsrink01 for a new player? Yeah, recall it. Once you have the cash to replace them on a whim it's not such a big deal, but for a new player who doesn't have the resources, recalling it, fixing it, then sending it back out is the right choice.

[@SMDoktorPepper]

There is a glitch though..Ive a B class combat ship, and it was damaged over the weekend. No matter how often I fix the damned thing, its still saying its damaged.

[@Tayrwhit04]

There was another thing you might have forgotten to mention. In derelict freighters, there is a chance at the end to get frigate upgrades to install in your freighter. For example, I got an S-class combat communication upgrade (idk what it's called exactly), but it improves the combat efficiency of freighters.

[@5limefx498]

If you’re looking to get a lot of those mods real quick, derelict freighters are a good place to start, but you’re guaranteed S-class ones if you destroy capital ships as well(each system only drops one type of mod, so maxing out to 3 is stupidly easy). Easily done if you’ve got a good combat ship, and can be done without interruptions in pirate controlled systems. Specifically capital ships though, the ones that have the little nav point on them. The smaller ones don’t give you anything. Only thing you’ll sacrifice is your reputation with the species of that system. I did mine in a gek system, and they hate me. Sitting at about -1000 reputations last I checked. Don’t like the gek that much anyways. Polo’s good in my book though.

[@Caiserzero27]

I think it would be helpful to talk about initial base stats and what to look for when recruiting frigates.

[@ShadesApeDJansu]

【Shades Finnish Pirates】Thanks for the tip, i paused my game since was not sure why should i buy more frigates over the maximum 5 you can send on a expedition and now i know everything i need about frigates so i am grateful for it

[@KevinPlayingGames]

Thanks or making this video. Great info in it. I just completed the main storyline for the first time without even accepting my first free freighter, so I think I'm going to use the info I learnd here and explore that aspect of the game. Liked and subscribed!

[@galloviking4766]

It's strange but C frigates end up better than a naturally found S frigate after you upgrade them through explorations

[@helixwash4508]

Similar to how some of the nat s class sentinel ships I find end up not being the best ones.. Good to know, thank you for sharing

[@jm329]

Makes sense.

[@skotwilt]

makes sense.. time put in 👊

[@Nachtmariger]

Sincerely appreciate your work on this. Very informative and helpful, even for a not so new player. Thank you

[@BunkzGaming]

Thanks, and I'm glad you find it helpful 😁

[@Grimhyena13]

Woah! Perfect timing, I was just about to start looking into frigates and this comes out! Thanks man, great work again

[@BunkzGaming]

Thanks, and I hope you find it useful 😁

[@MedicFL1-bw4xs]

Great job explaining everything - Thank You!

[@Lordoftheapes79]

I swear by my frigate fleet. In every playthru, I start building my fleet as fast as I can. The return on investment is very fast and lucrative. Protip: it's more beneficial to send all your frigates on a long successful mission than several risky short ones in the early days. While it's not the amount of time the mission takes that matters, it is indicative of the number of stops/encounters the fleet will have while it's out. Frigates rank up based on the number of successful encounters it has. So, ensuring each ship gets the most successful encounters will rank them up faster enabling them to do more difficult runs with fewer ships in a shorter amount of time.

[@Avalene79]

This helped a ton, thank you!

[@jamiepace1845]

Thanks for the video super useful. It would be even better if you showed what you were talking about, for example "frigate fuel" on the screen while you were talking about it. Thanks

[@zeelfarshmek111]

I see you forgot Living Frigates.They also have unique encounters which can being you special upgrades for your living ship.

[@great_hedgehog8199]

And they have the whole surprisingly complex feeding mechanic, so I'd argue they deserved their own video

[@srmccormack]

I didn’t know you could teleport to the hanger until I saw you do it lol

[@dhgswiftkiller4581]

New to NMS appreciate this, as I just got my S class an hour ago.

[@organicalgorithms]

14:56 there where your mouse cursor is: Why would it flash as it does, indicating you don’t have enough “tons” when I have plenty? Is there a special place to store the frigate warp fuel that I’m not aware of? I currently have over 200tonnes and it looks like I’m missing something. Can you help?

[@Maholix]

Hey, to answer your question, fuel has to be in what the game considers a "nearby" source to be useable. In short, if it's in your own inventory, in the capital ship's main storage slots or in your actively docked spaceship with a item teleport it works. However it DOES NOT work if the fuel is stored in your storage lockers, even if you have some on your capital ship. This is because the ship's navigator can't read what you have in your lockers. You'll actually be able to see this for yourself.. go anywhere in the "green buildable zone" and you can quick stack to all installed lockers. But go anywhere else in your ship and that option vanishes.. even near the nav console.

[@Lordoftheapes79]

Check the fuel cost. 200tons isn't enough for some missions. I've seen them go over 800 tons a lot. I keep my fuel in the first slot of my freighter's main inventory. It's well worth the 1-3 inventory slots they take up imo.

[@Baddie_xP]

I am so grateful that you exist. Thank you! ❤️🤭 Amazing job 👏🏼 on teaching us! Really detailed! ❤️👏🏼

[@BunkzGaming]

Thanks! I'm glad you find it used 😁

[@runescapebythenumbersboom986]

Also didn't notice that frigates upgrade to higher rank..been looking for s class only....ty now I won't waste so much time on scouting

[@zegamerz1980]

What would be a recommended frigate fleet composition? At first I was planning on having 6 frigates of each type, recruiting minimum A class, but in my experience, combat expeditions are more common, so it might be worth having only 5 frigates of the 4 different types other than combat, and 10 combat frigates.

[@BunkzGaming]

I think you can't go wrong having an even split of all kinds. You will be able to rank them up as well so it's not the end of the world if they're not A class when you first get them 😊

[@akatom2u]

Thank you great video.

[@MiMi_Artgineer]

Been away from NMS for a couple of years. Great refresher 😊

[@ratnadeepsaha7724]

It is basically like black flag's fleet management in story mode.

[@mykids5269]

There are also pirate frigates as of echoes and there are also living and the Normandy

[@jorgealejandroguerreropere8063]

What are those white, red and black dots below the frigate's name (On the frigate list)? What do they mean?

[@leftcoastfunk]

Wait, you can have an entire fleet?!?!?! Lol I'm literally still working on getting my first freighter

[@Caedus9001]

There are organic 'frigates'. I'm not entirely sure what I did to get the one I have and that's one of the things I'm trying to replicate (if possible)

[@gaspo2880]

if you have an organic starship, and you send organic frigates on missions, they may bring you spawning sacs and psychonic eggs. spawning sacs allow you to upgrade organic starship inventory and tech slots, psychonic eggs let you grow tech upgrades for your organic starship. im also trynna find organic frigates for that reason

[@mikaruyami]

You need to craft a certain item, which will give you a random encounter. But it only really happens per galaxy sector I think

[@Caiserzero27]

As of the Echoes Update: To get your first organic frigate, you need to build a Dream Aerial. You get blueprints to the dream aerial as a reward from frigate missions. Once you build it, you get into your starship and activate your pulse drive. While pulsing, turn on your dream aerial and you wait till you get a "whale song" event. That's how you encounter your first organic frigate. Answer the personality test and it will determine the stats. After that you can encounter more organic frigates using an anomaly detector. Good luck.

[@gaspo2880]

@@Caiserzero27 woah this is pretty cool, thanks for the tip!

[@kennethcunningham2572]

How do you get frigate missions beyond 3*, I haven't seen a single one.

[@ChaosTerminatorX]

The pirates life is the life for me

[@holidayinn4293]

Is there any benefit to stacking? It just seems this was designed where you'd get 6 of each type of frigate and send out 1 of each type on every mission. If you did plan on filling out the 30 frigate limit.

[@jackmccrary2614]

Yes, they stack. Excepting "Balanced" missions, my loadout is four mission specialists and one support ship. If I have any C level frigates on the expedition, I change the mix by swapping one of the mission specialists out for a combat specialist.

[@SonnyScapes]

My biggest vhallenges that i cant seem to gind the answer for which is probabaly right under my nose. When i have multiple fleets out on missions and one ship gets damaged how do i know what system thale damaged ship is at in the galaxy mal? I run into this issie where im just travelling to each fleet icon hoping thats the fleet on mission that needs repairs.

[@yoooman111]

NEver see expeditions harder than 2. Anyone know how to unlock harder Expedition? Got a Killa Fleet already

[@Gaunter_ODimm]

Can I sell frigates or can I only replace them?

[@TizbutaScratch]

I wish the expedition consumables were connected to ship, or ships average, rank. Instead of just ten points.

[@Foefii]

so my question for that vid is: is it even worth doing the expeditions? i mean does the reward exceed the cost?

[@pashtwo]

Higher star expeditions defintely can pay out well, I sometimes got units in the millions just from one

[@infin8games849]

What's the difference between combat and raider ships?

[@ghost-user559]

From what I can tell raider ships are more balanced and act a lot like support but with a focus on combat. So they have a lot of upgrades like solar sails and they add bonuses to expedition speed or reduced fuel, things like that. So they are generally not as good as an upgraded combat at combat, but they have more balanced traits so they fit well in something like a balanced expedition.

[@gauthijm]

Expeditions only go up to Level 3 right > Never saw 4 and 5 star missions.. Correct ?

[@srmccormack]

I’ve never seen above a 3 star mission yet. My fleet is all S class now and I’m still waiting for a 4 or 5 star mission.

[@joev92]

when u have vaults In your frigates , when u get a new one do they come in the new frigate u get

[@jeremyyuppa6380]

You will have the opportunity when exchanging freighters to transfer base, if you do, you will keep storage containers. I would also recommend establishing a home base that also has these storage containers as they are shared inventory by number no matter how many you build or how many different places you build them. For example if you construct "storage container 0" on you settlement base and on your freighter the inventory will be the same, and if you make 100 settlement bases with the same "storage container 0" the inventory remains the same across all

[@scotttuckercreations4751]

You can repair damaged frigates. NVM he states that at the end.

[@wumb3789]

What happens w ur frigates when u change ur frighter

[@sirorangeman969]

[@ausmiku]

Managing frigates looks so boring. We want more action and not be manipulating 2D images for expeditions to get more useless units and items. What are you going to do with all that play money ?? Nothing. We'd rather have space battles to get this stuff.

You can get pirate frigates through space battles. This was mentioned. Hello McFly!
