[@Alexwhatisit]

10:34 little tip. One way to "smuggle" contraband planetside without a shielded cargo is to get caught and pay the fine. When you get out, go back in to where you were arrested and look around the brig/lockup area. Usually you're confiscated items will be there. Wait for the right time and snag them. The fine you paid is small compared to the profits from a few pieces of contraband.

[@theheist5]

I'd rather not go through the hassle.

[@OnionNinja]

Go to the Den in the Wolf system. They don't scan and there is a Trade Authority merchant in the space station.

[@lamantonyshyn1019]

I think it’s worth noting that for a lot if not all of the “prisoners belongings” chests you’ll need to be high enough level to pick an expert lock.

[@jpisback]

I'd say: 1. Learn to quicksave often. The game is horrendous about when to autosave, and you can find yourself reloading to a Very unsavory position. 2. Don't just rely on Particle Beams. You can build amazing ship killers using missiles as secondary, or lasers and ballistics. 3. Make multiple loot trips to the Ship, and just drop all items on the floor. The Ship will Still launch. 4. If you Have contraband, use Neon as well. You pay a little fine, then just back up into the corner of the room with the containers where the Neon security can't see you, and sneak down and steal. Then you can head to the Trade Authority there and cash in. Neons TA refreshes stock and credits almost every visit, Farrr more often then Kryx and the Den. 5. Assign Vasco to your ship Immediately. He's almost like a secondary Companion in that if you land and their are hostile near, he'll wander away to fight with you and your Actual companion. Make outposts on planets high in Aluminum, Iron and Helium first as these are the most used building components. 6. Most aid items that don't have a colored Triangle aren't worth keeping. There's a few like the Alien Food that boost Damage Resistance that are good, bot most that aren't the Med or Trauma Pack or Emergency Kit are just wasted credits. 6. Some vendors only take certain items, so save them for those vendors when you land on their planets. 7. Give the Unique weapons to your companions. Certain Magpulse or Regulator uniques just Devastate enemies, so if you have one 1 hitter and your companion has the other, it makes clearing out areas Easier. 8. Invest in Laser related perks, and keep a Cutter. It can become the most OP weapon. 9. Get the Dream house or Kid Stuff perk. They provide resting places for relatively cheap - $500 a week for Dream house, $500 a month for your parents apartment. Also, don't pay off the Dream House. You really only have to pay the $500 when you want to use it, it's not recurring. And you'll likely not use it enough to justify Actually paying it off, plus, you can stash contraband at the dreamhouse since there's no scan at Nesoii. 10. Don't worry about trying to buy the "best ship", because you can spend 500k-700k credits on just a ship, and it be outclassed by the Frontier with just 300k and some perk investments in Piloting and Ship Design in the beginning of the game. Leveling up Both perks to 4 will allow you to buy ALL the best ship parts to turn your first and Free ship into a literal Battleship.

[@Xamaza]

tip for newbie ship - remove lasers and add PAR 3 or 4 (alpha beams) you can tell when the range is 3k (HUGE) and keep missiles 2x. 2 is not enough for the PAR weapons, but 3k range is huge. You can destroy ships from range before they lock on to you and can hit you with close up lasers and projectiles. Even the newbie ship does well with 3 par weapons. Find the SECRET outpost note from SPACERS and you can get awesome ship early + legendary helm/outfiit/boostpack.

[@billybyrns2557]

Actually, with being over-encumbered, there’s a few tricks you can utilize to haul a metric boatload of loot with you. You can make use of oxygen-increasing foods/drinks, and various water items to decrease oxygen consumption by ~20%; run instead of sprint, but if you sprint and jump using basic/balanced boost packs you can maintain only the running stamina consumption in midair (but be wary that jumping costs stamina/oxygen, too); you can make use of a certain “ability” to temporarily gain nearly infinite oxygen for a short time (and it can be used semi-permanently after being obtained); and try to prioritize only taking clutter items that are valued at least over 100 credits. Being this greedy let me get over 3-4 million credits by the time I was Level 35-40. Given how expensive ammo and ship parts can tend to be, it’s usually also not a bad idea to invest in a ship you can dump a ton of loot into (at least 2k storage capacity).

[@mrbear9822]

2k storage is rookie numbers! Gotta pump those numbers up. But good explanation especially the "ability" idea. I use that all the time when I'm filling up my 20k cargo starship. Basically makes it like over encumbered isn't a thing.

[@adriansimonsen6533]

10:02 You might want to hold off on getting caught, especially if you want a crime less playtrough. If you just do the first UC Vanguard mission, you get that as a separate quest chain. Regardless however, if you choose to betray the fleet, make sure to get everything exclusive before you leave.

For #3, TheSpiffingBrit found a current exploit to avoid losing your contraband to a scan. As you're about to get scanned, instead land outside the city (where you won't be scanned) and dump your contraband there. Go back and get scanned, then fast travel back to your contraband, and you can go back to the city with your contraband.

[@SilentSooYun]

Yeah, there's some insane persistence in this game. I went back to the starting moon at Level 10 and the remains of the first three ships I destroyed were still in orbit (it took me a while to learn how to loot ships)

[@kenny3179]

For #10 I must say that yes. For space combat I have a protip for you, when you want to turn around fast, dont use the throttle. Just lift your finger from the W and the ship will turn around a lot quicker. For some it might be obvious but it took some time for me.

Is that forced? I was randomly taking into custody even though I did nothing wrong. I didn't steal anything, and I didn't have any contraband. Suddenly I was told I needed to be arrested.

I’m 8 hours deep and I’m hook line and sinkered into this game, and I’ve barely scratched the surface. This game is everything I was hoping for and then some. It gives me that classic feeling I felt back when Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4 were released. I could not be any happier with this game!! There is a TON of hate and it’s very sad to see.

[@SmallvilleStudio]

To be fair, one of the most interesting characters I've ever played as was my "NPC" build in Skyrim, and basically never went to the Jarl of Whiterun and never started the Dragon Spawn, and just explored the world as a regular person in a fantasy world. It was so nice because I wasn't the big bad super important Dragonborn, I was just some rando trying to do his best to survive during a civil war, wandering and doing odd jobs for cash. Thank Todd for those never ending radiant quests. I just think being the best at everything in Skyrim(Fallout isn't completely off the hook either) is kinda stupid. I'm just a magic student who barely knows a ward spell yet I'm the archmage? Come on Winterhold, have some sort of bar to entry.

[@casper5563]

Yeah been exploring for 50h...

[@chaoticmind176]

there are some thing that arent completely correct or incomplete, like maybe your follower can get lost but you always can let him respawn on your ship and also there is a other way to get into the crimson fleet that doesnt involve stealing or breaking the law , its involves joining the vanguard

[@Kmangod]

I restarted after level 12 because I overencumbered EVERYTHING by collecting everything which was useless and I concentrated on being able to carry as much as possible. Once I restarted I concentrated on rifles, ballastic weapons as well as ship stats. Saved enough to get the Shieldbreaker ship at 270k and then it became much much easier to fight in space. Maybe there are better ships but Shieldbreaker auto shoots the laser and I maxed it. As for surveying, that is rather a waste of a lot of time....try a whole planet once then walk away. Also, I always overencumbered with weapons from fights and then sold them at the various locations. Also don't skip some of those random structures, they can have 5k plus on credits as well as many fights and a magazine to read to permanently up your stats. And something I have not seen others mention is that I got Temple powers, kind of fun to use.

Thank you for these videos, this is an incredible game and it has -in my view-, recieved a lot of unwarranted hate, because of the tiles, the freaking loading times, etc. I'm not saying those aren't issues, but people are omitting so many of the other aspects that make the game a unique and joyous experience to play. Videos like this contribute to adding more depth into the game and shed a light into some of the potential you can get while playing it.

Heres a tip I've discovered, when playing on pc, i use a controller, when your overencumbered, holding the stick about 75% forward allows ypu to walk at almost full speed, but the game doesnt see it as running, so your o2 will actually replenish. Doesn't save a MASSIVE amount of time, but it will allow you to get back to your ship a lot faster than slow walking, and you won't have to stop moving at all.

[@RichBensen]

Your segment about the man with the paperwork left me wondering why you had so much unsold planetary survey data in your inventory at the end of your playthrough. You could have been selling it to Vladimir from the moment you met him, and he pays twice as much for it as any other NPC and reliably has 20k credits available to buy lots of it.

[@rickydiamond441]

You don’t need to do that at all. You loot/discover so much stuff whilst exploring, it makes selling these pointless. I have well over 700,000 credits and absolutely nothing to spend it on. Spent over a million on ships as well.

[@Robbiegod1]

You know, you don't need to walk all the way back to the ship. Just hit the menu button, go to the ship screen, press X to access the cargo hold. Put the stuff you want while you are encumbered into the cargo hold. As far as i can tell, you can do this from anywhere.

I’m coming back to thank you for the advice/warning to play as far as Into the Unknown in the story mission. When you’re right you’re right Falcon. Seriously though he is right. I mean you don’t have to rush your way through that mission or anything but there is a really good reason you should play the story to the END of the mission Into the Unknown relatively soon. Like within your first 25-30 hours or so. I mean you are going to get side tracked a bit. It’s a Bethesda game and this is the most massive one yet but do get through that mission relatively soon. Falcon didnt mention you get three mission at once and Into the Unknown is one of them. You specifically need to finish just Into the Unknown. The other two aren’t required for what he’s talking about. Anyway, you were right. Good job. Lol. Also I missed the guy in Cydonia at first even after watching this video. Lol.
