Freelancer II | Class C Bounty Hunting Asymmetric Gunship | Starfield Ship Build | No Mods

[@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.

Love you showing it on Extreme difficulty, hate seeing others show a ship thats clearly on very easy and obviously annilates ships. Great build Sir!

@@High_Key I just built my own version of the Star Rider using your video and its so amazing. What are your thoughts on the empty habs from the new update? I'm thinking of swapping out the living quarters for an empty one to decorate myself (if I can build a pool table individually).

[@High_Key]

@@MarkJohnson-ur2xq Wow that's awesome to hear because the Star Rider is still my favorite build to date. I haven't gotten around to updating the interior, but I've been thinking about adding an industrial workbench in the science hab and spacesuit/weapon workbenches in the armory if they can fit in the rear section. And THAT is the main reason I'm keeping the normal 2x2 living quarters too. I just want that pool table lol

This is some extraordinarily tasteful part merging. I hope to mimic threading bracers through the Nova braking engine on my own design.

[@High_Key]

Thank you brotha! It always feels good when people notice! Btw I did notice that things started to pick up more around 350-400 subs. It started becoming like daily adds. I think with Starfield getting some favorability after the last update, it’s helped with the viewership

Another great build! Would love to see your take on a ship themed for a Ryujin Operative, some stealthy and sleak, but not the overused fighter-jet style!

I actually have one when I did an interceptor series last month. I called it the Ryujin Rogue Runner and I’d say it’s the total opposite of a fighter jet look with a wild asymmetric design. It’s definitely a love/hate design haha

Bro, I am a huge fan. You are so creative! Are you using mods to build or is that base game?

[@High_Key]

Thank you very much! Glad you've been enjoying the builds! This is all in the base vanilla game, just utilizing the various merging/glitch methods. I do go over them in detail for each build and they're pretty simple to learn, but JRamosWorks Gaming is also a great source for a *deep* dive into glitch techniques.

blending pieces is tough ! 🙏👍 SOME people make it look easy lol.

[@arturmeinild2461]

You could add a Control Station instead of the 2x1 All-in-One (and use 3x1 All-in-One instead of Living Quarters) to provide room for 4 more crew, for a total of 8. 👍

[@High_Key]

Definitely a good choice! I actually designed this with a roleplay state-of-mind rather than as a max-stats sort of build. I like to think my ships are designed to crew no more than a certain amount of people, and in this case, this ship is meant to crew just 3. That's why I had the 3 beds and added the suit racks and whatnot. But definitely feel free to upgrade as you please. Doubt the layout will change too

[@arturmeinild2461]

Yeah layout is the same. But this is a cool build, I made my new daily ship as a variation of this (I posted in the Starfield Ship Discord). 😎

[@High_Key]

@@arturmeinild2461 That's awesome! I'm actually not a part of that, I should check it out. What alterations did you make?

No worries, this build still works without mods. You only need to merge certain parts using the various glitch methods which I detail out

[@mohamedbe4942]

I've seen a very similar build on a reddit ship building group, is this a recreation of it? I've used it as well, pretty solid build with the right reactor and weapons.

[@High_Key]

That’s awesome to hear! Big fan of his channel! I have done rebuilds of those but I did them very early on and haven’t revisited them. Just been trying new things. I might come back and try to that out in the future!

[@k.bizzle]

Doing this on Xbox and I’m running into an issue with too many glitches. Some landers aren’t sticking and the cargo/gear combo doesn’t want to copy glitch into reactor/grav drive, but gear solo will copy up into reactor/grav... think this is breaking the console’s brain.

[@High_Key]

Sometimes when you do the Duplica to on glitch, the parts Duplicate into themselves instead of going up or down. When that happens, try disconnecting that Nova Bracer stack and move them around a bit individually, then try the Duplication glitch using only one Nova Bracer. If it duplicates in the opposite way you want, duplicate again and select the appropriate complimentary bracer and it should go the other way.

[@High_Key]

Also, when parts don’t stick, select all by double selecting a part. Once it turns red, hit Accept and all loose parts should merge. You may have to do it a couple times

[@squirreltakular9049]

​@@High_Key Unless I'm missing something, double clicking select doesn't actually do anything on Xbox.

[@High_Key]

@@squirreltakular9049 sometimes when that happens there’s some loose parts that are preventing the duplication. Try selecting all by double clicking a connected part and then hit Accept. And then also for the Nova Bracers, split up the stack, and just use a single Nova Bracer. If the duplication goes the wrong way, do it again but select the bottom Bracer if duplicating downwards or the upper bracer if going upwards. The other bracer that’s not selected acts as a stopper forcing the duplication to go the other way.

[@grendal3507]

I’m on Xbox and I have the same issues with the first two landers and the reactor and grav drive. The glitch seems like it works but I get the unattached module warning.

[@rudy-s2k]

I like the military look to it. Plus reminds me of something from the aliens movies.

[@High_Key]

Glitches work on all platforms. Just need to learn how to do them properly. What are you trying to do that isn’t working, I can try to detail out how to resolve that. If loose parts are the issue, the main fix is: Selecting the entire ship by double clicking/tapping any part then pressing Accept.

[@youtubeshadowbannedmylasta2629]

damn I was excited then I saw it was starfield and membered its modern day.

[@High_Key]

Hope you had a chance to try it out at least to come to this conclusion. Lots of people just read about it and then come to the game later and say “it’s nowhere near as bad as the online stigma says”. Also helps that the largest update to date dropped not too long ago so online discourse certainly has changed from its lowest peak.

damn it's a bummer i really like this build but somehow the glitches don't work

[@High_Key]

@@AudaciousMindness more often than not, if things aren’t snapping together or snapping in weird places it’s usually because of a single or a few loose pieces. Regularly throughout the build process, Select All by double clicking an attached part, then press Accept. This process snaps loose parts together, which will make further glitching work (recommend doing this after each glitch). Also, send me the timestamp you’re stuck at and I’ll try to help you out!

[@AudaciousMindness]

@@High_Key I'll try again tomorrow, I'll comment here again, thankss🤩, and I'm actually stuck at the start where you fuse the landing gears at the base of the ship😅

[@High_Key]

@@AudaciousMindness ahh gotcha! So you could attach either the forward HopeTech ones or the rear Taiyo ones first, doesn’t matter. But whichever ones you use for the second set, has to be merged into the same snapping point using Flipping. You’ll notice when you Flip it in, it doesn’t snap into place, it’ll just kind of hover in place there. To make sure it attached properly, Select All (double click a connected part like a hab), and then press Accept. This will merge that hovering Landing Gear into the snapping point already occupied by the first landing gear you installed. And then repeat this for the other side of the ship. Let me know if you still need help tmw! More than happy to assist🍻

​@@High_Key Hello, I'm sorry to reach only now. I'm having trouble on the drop or down glitch, I'm always trying to move down the thruster but it doesn't butch.

[@High_Key]

@@bhot1606 hey sorry for the late reply! When you do the drop glitch, you have to make sure that the part you’re selecting to drop highlights green when you first select it. If it highlights red because something is obstructing it, you won’t be able to drop it. And then also, the are you’re dropping into had to have at least one snapping point available for the part to snap to. Everything else can be covered up, but it needs at least one single snapping point. Now for the actual drop, select and hold the part, then press the button to drop it a level AND release the part at the same time. If done correctly, it snaps into place automatically.

[@High_Key]

The timing for dropping is the most important part. You have to make sure to drop and let go of the part at the same exact time.

[@bhot1606]

@@High_Key I tried it know, it worked. Thank you so much.

[@jtmcmurdy]

Cool design but the assembly is unclear and I wish you'd lighten up on the glitches. It's time consuming and doesn't make the ship look that much better. Just my opinion though

[@High_Key]

That's fair enough! And I appreciate the compliment. My apologies if it got unclear, I try to be as descriptive with the step-by-step instructions without sounding repetitive. All of the glitching is utilizing just the same 4 methods, so if you're still trying to get this one built, let me know where you're stuck at with timestamps, and I'll be happy to help you throughout until you complete it. While most of my glitching is saved for aesthetics that can be omitted or swapped out, my build style is tailored to smoothing the gaps out with intentional design choices. For example, I pretty much conceal all weapons outside of turrets and create _"new"_ weapons by merging parts together because I think weapons stick out like a sore thumb for most of my builds. Other things I tend to do would be like creating entirely new engine designs such as the ones you see here. These inevitably require a lot of glitching. Honestly, just mastering a couple of glitch methods will completely revamp your builds. Like I said, I try to go through each glitch method in detail but feel free to let me know where you're stuck at if you're still trying to build this one, and I'll make sure you complete it 🤜🤛

[@JuMpERx360]

To many glitches!

[@High_Key]

It's a lot of glitches but what makes it a bit easier is that it's the same 4 methods. Sometimes it's repetitive glitching to merge components like reactors and grav drives and cargo holds into each other which seems like a lot but uses the same glitch method to do so and all done in a quick sequence. If you're stuck anywhere, shoot me a timestamp, and I'll explain more in detail for where you're at, however I'm about to go to bed soon, so let me know asap or I can respond tmw 👍👍

[@Cmdr_DarkNite]

The glitch ships are nearly the only ones in Starfield that looks good.. I made the Anaconda from Elite Dangerous in Starfield. That would not have been possible without glitches..

[@plagueCLUTCH]

Yeah but half the Han modules do nothing. Most of the parts do nothing. There’s 30 seconds of total space flight in star field. And every ship operates flys fights and is the same. So. Oil that you did all this work on a pretty ship. What if you played a good game and did something there? I bet that would be impressive. Hey where’d you put your non functioning crew quarters? Next to my non functioning computer room. Oil man. ….cool…..

[@High_Key]

Hey, all I can say to this is, to each their own. I enjoy building these ships like I enjoy building legos as a kid. What can you really do with Lego besides build them and use your imagination when playing? At least here there’s dynamic space encounters and space combat is fun. I very much prefer space combat like this than something like Squadrons or NMS or Elite Dangerous…or even Star Citizen. So to each their own my guy. You play what you like, I’ll play what I like 👍

[@erinpitt580]

Lets see your ships mate. the only parts in starfield that do anything mechanical are the gears and weapon turrets. working with what we are given to work with. i think you're feeling a derogatory sense towards the developers of star field and the part avilability in the ship builder, not any animosity towards any builder specifically.
