For some more cargo space, I recommend heading to New Homestead on Titan and replacing the cockpit with an identical looking one that has a higher cargo capacity. It has a vastly better cargo/mass ratio than cargo containers, so it makes sense to start there.

Great tip!

[@michealnelsonauthor]

I tried the various crew modules that could replace the “Frontier” module… Doh deleted it & coulbdt buy it back. Crap. So don't do that. It's the best, with that nice holo table for planning jumps. I added 2 berth variant compartments to extend the hull, with all 6 crafting tables. That is Worth! Added the Captains berth, which isn't that great aesthetics but need a private area for pending crew wedding… lol. Add 2 more of the upgrade engines in this video. Yes 4 engines. Added 2x 320 cargo modules, now it 1090. Can add 2 more of same but Need the bigger reactor 1st… Can upgrade to a 520 shield when I unlock it again. And a 4 crew cockpit which is huge & spacious.

Rank is easy upgrade with the flight simulator in Vanguard, part of UC.

If you want to do production need the med lab and other production ones since I haven't seen any production location in stations.

[@TheDutchActuary]

The Lodge has pretty much all the production stations in the basement right on top of each other. Of course you can add them to your bases as well. @@sndsiwrite

[@michealnelsonauthor]

Yep, I did the first two rank equals in the sim. Now working on rank 4 equal, and I'm just letting my Wamted bring me plenty of BH to kill in space. 19 in 3 days, lol!

[@bryanbrewer4272]

Bravo! well done!

[@hedcase]

Awesome video, thanks. I was trying to upgrade the cargo on the starting ship and after an hour i realised I didn't have a clue what I was doing lol. I figured I'd just earn money and buy a different ship. Your way is much cheaper!!

[@panpiper]

Yep, I upgraded the starter ship pretty much exactly this way in the beginning of the game. Shortly thereafter though, I did the Mantis quest, and used the Razorleaf as the foundation for a much more significant ship. At that point I was able to use Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojectors having joined the Vanguard. Those use only two power each allowing me to put SIX of them into a single bank. I have not found an enemy it can't destroy in seconds now.

[@TheDutchActuary]

Exactly what I have on the upgraded Frontier - 2 power / weapon is just insane. Enemies 10+ levels above me are simply melting.

[@demos113]

Very informative vid. 🙂

[@Trifler500]

I recommend the Titan line of fuel tanks. They have a better fuel/mass ratio.

[@mariop8101]

Just do the mantis quest as soon as possible, and edit the mantis ship adding more particule beams.

[@peachesjnr]

oh my goodness thanks buddy... now i can level up pilot skill i kept getting destroyed 😭

[@TheDutchActuary]

Pew pew!

[@peachesjnr]

also i can fly a class B ship with out the skill lol. and then upgrade to class B modules. did it last night when a bounty Hunter came for me, stole his ship and dam was it a good catch.

[@TheDutchActuary]

Nice catch indeed!@@peachesjnr

[@grinch9607]

You can not have the same type of weapons in W0, W1 and W2

[@TheDutchActuary]

You don't need to, you simply fire them all at once when linked to one of those.

[@michealnelsonauthor]

Right. They all end up in the same group. It gives you a yellow warning, but doesn't stop you from accepting the build. I put 4x 13 shield 13 armor damage electron beams on. Caps at 12 power. Can you imaging hitting for 42 dam at 3000 meters? Yep. But I need to find a bigger A reactor to run shields and drives at max, lol

[@mariop8101]

But you can have variants of the same, like turrets, auto, manual etc.

What happened to your playthrough?

[@TheDutchActuary]

I decided to discontinue early on (despite starting pretty excited) it because I didn't feel it made for good enough content. This game is all about immersion and tiny little details - Which is hard to capture properly in an edited youtube video, unless I make 1h+ episodes. The game is a LOT more suited for livestreaming.

[@ParpaTV]

I would appreciate a live playthrough from you nonetheless!
