I feel like after meeting Walter in constellation, you should get a discount at Stroud Eklund. Come on, friends of the family, am I right??? 😅

[@reaty05]

Would be nice i redesigned a ship all class a stuff needing ship design 4 for each weapon, reactor, shield, and engines 1600 to 1500 mass but looks sleak with shape costs 421k credits 2700 cargo 8 weapon units 1600+ fuel 23 light year jump 100 mobility 6 engines Easily upgradable to class b to class c it would be a little modification

[@manbearpig342]

There is a side quest where you help design a ship for Walter and he gives you a free one.

[@cmpoliver3499]

​@@manbearpig342 Yea, however that's after the 11th Consolation mission you getting side quest. Picking her budget model with a B class free but go big budget and the C Chass. Both really need to post rewards get some Upgrades to be great ships. Ironically the B variant is better. But that is another vid.

[@Harem__King]

You can get the ship for free

[@Kashmere34]

I didn't even put together that's his last name 😅

[@eaglefat9398]

the "ship command" perk in the "social" category allows you to have 8 active crew and you can build ships with slots for at least 9

[@ashwean]

Sarahs the 9th cause she doesnt take a slot due to her perks

[@alexzandermorris9284]

My ship has 11 but I do have a bunch of mods maybe one adds crew slots

[@saberdewsproductions6422]

No mods on my game(xbox) but my ship can have a max of 10 crew

[@covenant05]

Narwhal is my favorite, started tweaking it with stronger engines, weaponry and cargo. Had to change the engine layout since the new engines didn't fit original one. Having a blast with it 😄

[@TheSorrowWithinMe]

Team narwhal here!

[@KaosandRiot]

Have been thinking about trying the Dragon, thanks for this video!!

[@jimmy2745]

I was able to commandeer a Va'Ruun Prophecy ship, and it's a monster. Cargo holds over 4500 with the 1 additional hold I added. Comes with 4120 originally. 24LY jump radius. The best freebie I've gotten so far. 730 shields and decent wpns, although not the best. My favorite all-arounder. Packed full of resources and ship parts! lol

[@Kashmere34]

What ship did you use to commandeer it ?lol

[@jimmy2745]

@@Kashmere34 I don't remember. At that time, I was primarily running a souped-up Claymore, so it was probably that. I have since built my own fighter and cargo ship, so I no longer have the Prophecy or the Claymore.

[@rjb4242]

I took over a Prophecy II that had landed in NG+1. 1300 shields (1600 after upgrades), 6k cargo, 30LY jump range, and strong weapons. Better than the Stronghold I purchased in my first playthrough. Va'Ruun ships have been good to me overall

[@el_tekio]

OMG! Vasco is an actual R2 droid on that Abyss Trecker. Look at him standing outside at ship's hull. lol

[@HendoCalrissian]

The Crimson Fleet Wraith is my favorite class C. Easy to stick more cargo and shields on. Looks great too.

[@leifpedersen3464]

Actually the best Crimson Fleet ship you can find is the Crimson Fleet Wight III, gotta be a high level for it but it's amazing

[@leifpedersen3464]

It's basically the Crossbow but better imo

[@Warmaker01]

Yeah, I acquired that Wight ship in battle, good stuff.

[@RBHMSpoons]

Got me a Wight also but noticed immediately its Reactor was lacking horribly in available power allocation. Replaced the Stroud Eklund bridge with a more accommodating Deimos Bridge. Could do with rejigging the habs coz my god even the standard Wight upon acquiring it required memorising it's convoluted layout

[@jamieleeleblanc]

Now sure how the Ecliptic Claymore III didn't make the list since it is better for stats than all of these class C ships. I got lucky and found it on a landing site, and got it for free but it is valued over 400k. It is even better than the Va'ruun Prophecy III which also is better than all the ships on this list which I also got for free by boarding it in space and taking it over.

[@LazloArcadia]

I currently have the Crossbow set up as my home ship. While the interior layout is a bit weird / confusing I love the fact that it has plenty of living space for my whole crew.

[@houstonSolo]

I’ve been using the stronghold and I love it. Just using it until I’m able to build one myself but it’s a tank

[@chriswhittington5790]

Toying with upgrading my razorleaf to class C as it is currently a class B. Updated with turrets and missile pods and vanguard shield. The form factor of the ship hasn't changed much just some Stroud end caps on the outrig engines to smooth out the shape of the new engines, as well as better white dwarf engines, I replaced the captains quarters with a control station and currently the lower hab is a workshop though I'm probably going to just make is living quarters just to put a bed back on the ship. P.s. love having ship design 4 so I can alter the ship without really changing it's appearance much.

[@catonwilliams4566]

11:25 I know people have their preferences on what they like and don’t like, but The Stronghold is an absolute unit! I saved up credits and cranked out the piloting trait early on in my play through just to get this ship. All I can say in simple terms is that I agree 100% with everything being said about it in this video. I’ve only made a few tweaks to it for my liking and personal taste, but aside from that I can’t help but say this ship is an amazing ship and I don’t regret purchasing it! I renamed mine to be The Storm Bearer because it is a tank and has been in hundreds of ship battles and came out barely scratched. Even now I’m starting to encounter 100 ranked enemy ships and it still melts through them. To make a long story short, buy The Stronghold if you want to get your moneys worth, you won’t regret it!!!

[@FLOYD-MAYWEATHER-TBE]

I really hope they put a ship buyer option where you can buy people’s pre made ships, I can’t build ships for the life of me, i have tired to copy step-by-step videos on KZbin and it become so hard because you don’t have all the parts and you have to fly around sourcing the parts it’s so difficult and awkward

[@lucienguile9125]

I absolutely agree, I always feel like Im watching a bob ross painting video with those guides. They tell me how to do everything, but mine never comes out like what is shown.

[@lilythepurple]

I jacked a Crossbow class from the Crimson Fleet, found it on the grouns, board and storm! going to be stripping it for parts and remaking as I'm not a fan of the shape

[@Quondom]

Watch the reactor strength. The Narwhal has 36, very high for mid-game. Take your Narwhal to Deimos, strip off the non-functional structures, replace the lasers and cannons with particle beam and EMP, and you have a real killer. Unfortunately, the interior of the Narwhal is far from cozy. It's a long way to get from the cockpit to the docking bay, so if that is an issue, you might be better off with the Claymore, which doesn't have a strong reactor, but is fairly easy to acquire early in the game.

[@ecobasetech4558]

um....7 is NOT the maximum number of crew slots on a ship you can have in the game....Maybe what you meant is that is the highest you can get from a purchased ship? I have a ship that was originally a Va'Ruun Hymn and modified it to the point it's unrecognizable and I have 9 crew member slots

[@alexdezibola1302]

at Akila City i buy the Crossbow 2 and the Stronghold and the Nimitz 2... for fighting very best nice ship. Yesterday the Highlander can buy in Akila. Looks the same to Stronghold with besser fitting.

[@MoonlitBeauty18]

🤣 we all just ignore the guy in perpetual falling animation right at the start of the video... That made my day!

[@LutherGary17]

I have the Dragonfire II, great ship

[@giovannivargas6473]

Please :D looking for a in depth guide on farming end game foods and chems ! Theres no videos anywhere on the recipies for foods and chems let alone how to farm them efficiently

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

For food, there's Boom! Pop! Dynamite, which is just blended soda. For that you could go to any Boom! Pop! machine and feed in credits. That one boosts movement speed, reload speed, and IIRC O2 recovery speed. It's a nice pick if you enjoy shotguns; and you should since they're amazing with Flechette rounds and actually maintain their full damage when modified for automatic fire.

[@Sinistah665]

I wanna purchase the dragon fire..standing at the vendor now…mobility is in the 40s ughh

[@brightvalley]

We really need more slots to save ships in. We need to be able to salvage modules from a ship and use them in other ships.

[@RPLAsmodeus]

11:30 If you want 1600 Shields This guy at Akila sells the individual ship module in his Ship Modifier The Assurance SG-1800 Shield Generator You don't have to buy the Stronghold My Starship Design, Starship Engineering and Ship Command are all Rank 4 if that makes any odds

[@FP194]

I have 3200 shields on one of my ships You need to increase the shields perk to get the maximum

[@RPLAsmodeus]

@@FP194 Don't forget Omari Hassan and his 3* Shield Bonus which gives you an green bar on your Shields

[@TempoGaming17]

7 crew members is the max you can buy a ship at but when making your own or altering a ship you can go up to 11 crew members and with class M mode you can go up to 18 crew members

[@Deschit]

Saved me from replying.

[@presenceaboveall7882]

I found a ship on mercury, called the UC Civ Shuttle III IT has almost 200 more points on shielding then the stronghold.

[@gaminwiz9722]

Not gonna lie i love the stroud Eklund ships. They are all flying lunchboxes

[@orlandovazquez2915]

The best ship you can fly is the ship you built, or you can fly a ship someone else told you to fly 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@zaland3012]

Yea it just feels right spending hours building up the perfect ship for yourself then flying it mission to mission space battle through space battle for a few days or weeks then looking back at it like “this is the greatest ship ever!” Lol

[@FP194]

I got an Ecliptic Claymore for free and after modifying it and increasing the perks it has 3220 shields 9750 cargo 30 LY jump range After adding He3 tanks I can jump from one side of the galaxy to the other in one jump Why spend money when you can take over some of the best ships in the game and modify them I also have a Starborn Guardian IV and I am not in NG+

[@arthurdavis9341]

Every new game I Frankenstein my Frontier ship so that it's a no ladder Claymore clone, lol. I don't run your cargo or range, but I still carry over 6k cargo with 90+ mobility.

[@CanonTheSpartan]

How'd you get 3220 shields?

[@reaty05]

i redesigned a ship all class a stuff needing ship design 4 for each weapon, reactor, shield, and engines 1600 to 1500 mass but looks sleak with shape costs 421k credits 2700 cargo 8 weapon units 1600+ fuel 23 light year jump 100 mobility 6 engines Easily upgradable to class b to class c it would be a little modification

[@AndrewJohnson-oy8oj]

You don't need to commit a crime and hope to get offered it when arrested to start the Crimson Fleet quest line. Finish the very first mission in the UC Vanguard quest line "Grunt Work", and you not only get access to the best weapons and shields in the game, but are immediately offered the Crimson Fleet quest line.

[@Scouseman08]

Best thing is steal a class c ship then strip it down and rebuild up. Mine is at the maxon all but grav jump engine which on level 11.

[@spencerszeto1233]

what black space suit are you wearing in the first ship clip?

[@ShadVanDenHul]

Spend a little more and just build your own Class C. Though you do have to rank up two skills.

[@erickwalden9785]

The crimson fleet wight III or the Spacer hyena III both come with a 1350 shield and 40 power reactor

[@erickwalden9785]

Ecliptic Claymore 3 comes with a 38 power reactor and some of the best Turrets in the game

[@lupoellison7391]

Stronghold for me.

[@benny4894]

Just steal a Var'ruun Hymn early once you max piloting and and you are good to go.

[@zeljkoklepac3180]

Starfield - GoldStar DREADNOUGHT😮

[@gpaje]

I dumped my garbage Starborn ship and stole a random Eclipse II from Spacers and then outfitted it with every top rated Class-C system, especially weapons, essentially invincible with quad phase turrets, I barely can get a missile lock before it destroys enemy ships. I also have 4 EM cannons when I want to actually capture a ship. Has almost 7,000 storage and space for 7, all for about 200K in upgrade costs and $50K in registration. This is my favorite ship in the game, even more so than my Class-C upgraded Star Eagle. I love the bridge layout with stairs instead of ladders.

[@rprlunn93]

These ships are all over priced you can get a few c glass faction "III" ships that outclass these and cost alot less as usually just need a shield upgrade 1 weapon changed to particle and they better. Picked up a Varuun "III" and it had better flat stats than any of the ones in any of the shops and even looks way better

[@basedsketch4133]

Advanced weaponary and Kevlar ship instead of saying its a strong metal? Nevertheless just say its been a long day and get some rest and im going to watch more of your videos ok deal?

[@zachorfe354]

Silent runner. We are out here space trucken lol east bound and down 🤘

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

It is nice as one of the customized models. Keep an eye out for ships with unusual paint schemes. It's a nice way to get access to interesting parts before you're high enough in level for the mark II and mark III ships to show up.

[@retvet]

I'm flying Class B ship with only a Level 2 piloting skill.

[@MS-xj1yu]

7 is not the max crew in the ship..ive seen someone with 10...i have 9 total and almost maxed everything

[@chantellepealey8505]

You can have eight crewmembers, and Sarah Morgan doesn’t count for whatever reason so that’s nine

[@jasonhembree8292]

I’ve built ships that have 12 crew slots.

[@Bipolareyes]

Renegade III

[@DA-to6gi]

I can only find normal dragonfire, not the second...

[@UncleManuel]

One thing about buying ships: once you get somewhat prolifient in ship building none of these offerings are interesting anymore. Because you can BUILD the ship to your likings. 😉✌️

[@bullshark1152]

The dragonfire II has a very low mobility. Bought it but after 1 dogfight I decided to reload a save game.

[@arthurdavis9341]

Better off making a ship with a similar profile. You can do a no-ladder build with over 6k cargo and 92 mobility using the same cockpit and a lot of the same aesthetics.

[@GriffGriffin]

So guys what’s your favourite class c ships and what time do you wake up Stronghold 8:20am for me

[@nolgroth]

Ecliptic Claymore, which seems to be a variant of the Dragonfire II. I've upgraded/replaced nearly every system and replaced a useless 1x1 Hab and Structural piece with a Nova Galactic 2x1 Workshop. Still looks (mostly) like I when I boarded it. I do love the look of the Stronghold though. I'm just more from the school of "capture and upgrade" than the "save and buy" class. Now if one of the pirate factions has an equivalent to the Stronghold, I'll be on the lookout. Depending on the day, I either wake up at 6:00 AM or (on weekends) 7:15 AM.

[@jeffhall2411]

I am Flying the UC Vista currently and its a beast.. it blows through enemies, has great shields, cargo space and pretty nice crew size.. love it!

[@Emperor_Fabulous]

​​@@nolgroth Same. I found a Claymore II. Not done upgrading yet but it is a do it all monster. Captain quarters and battle station on top deck. Armory and living quarters on bottom deck with Nova workshop and science lab for all the work stations leading back. All in one birth b above science lab gives the only ladder on the ship at the very back, to get up to use the top docker. 9 crew 9 passengers. I slightly changed the looks of the engine section and instead of 1 on each side I have 2 on each. Using the engines unlocked by the overdesigned quest. 90 mobility. 5k cargo.

[@ShebanFPV]

Dragonfire 2 🤌🏻

[@GreatNorth_Carnivore]

Was flying a modded Stronghold for a while but recently switched over and modded a Kepler R from the Walter Stroud questline. Much faster and easier to navigate within and just as capable.

[@blackfish95]

I have 9 crew slots, so 7 is NOT the max :)

[@blackfish95]

Maybe max you can BUY. I am using the Abyss Trekker as my foundation and I've modded it quite a bit, plus i have lots of skill points that help boost this stat

[@termy_3926]

What is a good class c ship to buy thats mainly one level? Not a fan of all the ladders.

[@mariodearmas7631]

I second this

[@brandonguy4086]

I've learned that those have to be built by hand.

[@pissmyasslynch5325]

Build a 2 floored 3*2 Habs with Nova cockpit found on Titan. There are stairs you could use

[@Kellett781]

Navigating a ship with lots of ladders means you turn your scanner on and it will guide you to the pilot seat if you set your self a mission off world. And the same trick will get you to your boarding ramp. You can also steal an Ecliptic Claymore and that will give you a class c ship with a massive double layer bridge and that will cut out more than a few ladders. Also, pay attention to which modules are pass through and which ones are not. For example, almost ALL manufactures of the 2x1 computer core module have a back wall that can’t be passed through so if you want a computer core, make sure it’s to the stern of your ship. A great line up that applies functionally and crew is to have cockpit, control stations, captains quarters, computer core at the end. And with the double deck bridge I mentioned before, on the lower level add an armory and an engineering with workshop to one side of engineering, and science lab to the other side. Add a all in one living quarters to one side of the Comer l computer core and an all in one birth to the other side. The important thing is to be consistent with your build. Even when you steal a ship, be sure to edit it to a standard lay out that your familiar with.

[@Kellett781]

If your buying ships in starfield, your missing out on some great fun. Find your self a low G moon in Masada and camp for the best ships. Keep loading that step out auto save to till something you like lands for you to steal. 3 of the ships listed here can be easily stolen from crimson fleet when doing pirates bounty and kill missions from free star rangers, trackers alliance, and sysdef.

[@SmittyRB1]

i feel like this dude doesn't understand what a "massive" cargo capacity is or just has never played the game for more than 20 minutes

[@Alex-wh9ph]

Why did bro stroke at 11:55

[@SuperCharcoalangel]

I stole the Wraith on a planet too

[@broark88]

Vanilla cargo capacity isn't just low, it's a complete joke. The Frontier has that wedge cargo at the back but can only hold about as much as the player with the weight lifting skill - on a ship that has tens of tons of mass. It's still a bit early for esp mods, but I absolutely had to get one that simply multiplies all cargo containers storage by three. That feels much more realistic.

[@icepl4net]

Have 70000 cargo Mass

[@williamblake8560]

Why spend credits for a ship when you get some for free and modify them.

[@davejohn255]

Narwhal

[@Nofilter1976]

make money? lol you mean 11k at a time then wait 2 days. Most I have seen you can make at shops next to each other are in the key where you can make like 25k before resetting them. Im at a level now where 1 weapon I sell bankrupts every vendor and I have over 100 to sell. It's pathetic

[@CmdrHunter-00]

Half of these are pure junk. The 3 strongest best all around ships are as follows: 1. Vanquisher III; 2. Renegade III; 3. Crimson Fleet Wight III. Let me know when you find these and re-do this vid. ;)

The Narwal is one of the best out of the box ships in the game It only needs a few modifications

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

IIRC they share interiors with Hopetech and both have a lot of wasted space. Personally I like mixing Nova Galactic and Deimos interiors, the former has good functionality while the later has nice aesthetics for larger habs.
