The captain is chilling when 8 space pirates attacking the freighter. Then I accidentally hit the freighter with literally 1 photon cannon while trying to take down the pirates, then the captain; SUMMON THE SENTINELS RELEASE THE KRAKEN

😂

[@robert9595]

Yeah its kinda stupid lol

[@iLLiCiT_XL]

The freighter update was hands down one of my favorites. The new style of room and hallways is so much better. Having windows on the ship especially adds to the sense of natural atmosphere.

[@XxiouGames]

For sure, I loved rebuilding my freighter.

[@Lordoftheapes79]

When you start farming for that S class, take the time to find the one you like the looks of, then plop a base computer in an adjacent system, then name the base so you know what it is for. I tend to name it "Freighter in (insert the name of the system the model you want is in)". After that, get in the habit of hopping in and out of your ship on the space station before warping. This way, when you're ready to put the time in, it will be easier. Now, when you encounter your freighter battle, immediately reload the save at the space station. Then use the teleporter to warp to the base you put down earlier. From there, warp to the system where you found your perfect freighter. Your freighter battle should pop with the exact model you wanted as the reward. This is where the method has changed... Skip the fight and land in the space station, remove anything you might have refining in your backpack, set your view to first person, and hop out of your ship to overwrite your restore point. From here, fly back out to the freighter and check its class. You can use your visor to see it from inside the hanger. When it's not your desired S class, reload the restore point in the space station. Now, each time you reload, the freighter will be in orbit of the space station, tho its exact position and class/slot allotment changes. Rinse and repeat until you get your S class. What this new method does, is remove the warp and battle time from the grind, making the whole thing faster and smoother. If you did as I suggested, then you won't have your grinder in your ear the whole time and you can use your ship's view screen to find the freighter easily every time without having to make changes in every reload.

[@XxiouGames]

Great tip thanks for posting.

[@qitsune8326]

Thanks for that explanation! Gonna do that 2nd part for sure. Got so bored of the continuous battle grind method I just settled with an A class lol

[@Lordoftheapes79]

I just spent 3 hours hunting for an S class this week and came up empty handed 😮

[@Spyglass_07]

Go to an outlaw system if you havent

[@dark_matter4803]

I got an S class pirate dread first try! Need some spare luck?

[@FoulPet]

As the guy said. Go to a pirate system. Average is 5-8 tries, with 20 being unlucky. I picked up a Star Destroyer somewhere between 5-8. I think it was 5, but I can't remember.

[@Bluetangg]

Having a freighter is pretty fun. Building a frigate and fighter fleet is fun. Also seeing your crew walking around. Cooking from a freighter is super handy.

[@Chrixskie]

They can cook?

[@Graybeard_]

I think the capital ships come in a lot of variations, but I get how some just see two. I always get my Sentinels freighters from Korvax systems, so I always have a Korvax captain and mission guy. They are always polite and respectful, which I aspire to be. 8-) The capital ships come in a variety of lengths, yes, up to seven sets of cargo pods down the sides. But you can get sphere cargo pods or rectangular cuboids. Then there are the bottom or belly pods. They are always spheres. But Sentinels can have one set of four or two sets of four belly pods. Of all the variations, I have found that the seven sets of rectangular cuboid pods with two quad sets of belly pod spheres, are the most rare.

[@AvocadoRob]

After being frustrated by the number of pirate attacks after warping into a new system, I started fighting them. Then after the second one I noticed I was being hailed after cleaning up. I went into the freighter and was presented with the option of taking it, so I did. Turns out after all that I see videos like this one on the subject. That is probably the dumbest way you can accidentally score an S Class Capitol freighter, and my fools luck story. :)

[@Kokopelli-Bob]

good job. Freighters are very cool, thanks for sharing

[@XxiouGames]

Thanks Bob!

[@BIA1hsjshs]

You know that if you don't take the first freighter 3hrs/5warps later another option appears, rinse repeat

[@EvilTeddie23]

I've been very lucky getting S-Class Freighters in Pirate Systems. I had a Venator S-Class like the one you have - took about 6 rolls to get it. Then I swapped for an S-Class resurgent. Took 4 rolls. Then I swapped that for a Battleship class Sentinel. Took 6 rolls. Finally went back to an S-Class Resurgent and the last time it took only 3 rolls. Last night I tried to swap to an S-Class Dreadnought, but on a non-pirate 3 star system and rolled probably 100 times in 2 hours and gave up.

[@steveroberts6302]

Thank you for some really useful info which I didn't know. Think it took me about 50 reloads to get an S class although the pirate battle was over so just had to fly straight to the freighter each time to check it out.

[@Killa_3]

23 tries and got an s class freighter, go to a Pirate system where you start fight for a freighter, I think it's the 5th warp into a system that activates it then make a save point and fight till you get a s class

[@Smokasaurus]

You're the only person I've seen that says the only first freighter is free. Everyone else has said that in three hours and after three jumps another can spawn, even the best.

[@KeLOut_Loud]

Your Freighter is HUGE! Great video with a lot of helpful information. Blessed Bananas Xxiou!

[@tylerdurden4383]

Holy shit got an S class on 4th reload. Wasn’t the capital ship I was looking for but felt like I just had to take the S class especially being that it’s my first freighter.

[@DirtRoadRemedy]

This friggin' game... I was not planning on enjoying it after coming back to it after a few years. It was supposed to be a time waster. But as an older, more casual gamer... I'm here for it!

[@thebulletkin8393]

I’ve had my freighter before endurance reshuffled them around, and I’ve not touched building at all yet since I’d rather have a good class freighter that looks nice first, but that is going to take an age seeing as I don’t even have the money yet. Plus the building in this game is so deep I feel like I’d make something and end up not liking it

[@jonathangebert3006]

I was lucky enough to have a great S class freighter so up for my 2nd rescue event. Unfortunately, I had already took the C class on the previous one and since it was still early, I didn't have anywhere near the 135 million units required to swap. Now that I have the units, I am determined to find one again.

[@mistyblackfoot3848]

Got an S class capital dreadnought in an hour last night for free. You don’t have to take the first free freighter, in fact you shouldn’t. The second one will be a capital class freighter. Then you will need to keep loading your save from before the fight and repeating it until you get the class you want. It took an hour of doing this save cheesing, but I finally got my S class. Worth.

[@samuelsummer3788]

Right off the bat you're mistaken. If you dont accept the first freighter you rescue thats okay, keep playing after a few jumps you come across the battle scenario again and choose whether or not to accept that 1 for free, this will continue Until you accept your first free freighter, after that you will have to pay

[@quarteronline]

On my latest play through I took the cash for my 5th jump and I immediately got an S class freighter on my 10th jump.

[@Everrrrr]

Your freighter base looks clean! Very nice I like it

[@samghost13]

Only build on your Freighter at the warp point. When randomly spawned items are disappearing

[@brianfrost7376]

WOW…likely one of his last uploads… Hats off to you Xxiou!! See you on the other side!

[@coyne12543]

@brianfrost7376 Thanks for the kind words for Xxiou. His last video was a NMS community night on June 16, 2023. You can find that on his channel if you' want to watch it. I continue to watch Xxiou's videos so I can hear him or see him. I am his mom 😥

[@DavidB1124]

I just got one C Class but I was expecting some basic stuff, this is complicated, didn't know a lot of stuff here and how to get there.

[@CodyDoodle33]

Can’t you just bypass the first fight and warp 5 more times to find a Venator for free for your first Freighter claim? I’m still on my first play through and am about to test it out.

[@nameless3200]

Does it still work or did it get patched?

[@Ancalon]

@@nameless3200 As of Today, still working. I got the Payout from the first and after 3h and 5 Jumps I got myself a Venator Resurgent for free.

[@IvoryBallard]

I just got an S class in first day of looking today and there was not battle. Some of info in video should be updated.

[@nightlydrugs6927]

I got an A class today. First non-C I’ve seen. I took it.

[@reniesboutique]

Does building on the freighter count toward total base pieces for saves?

[@XxiouGames]

Yeah it does count towards the over all limit.

[@SorenPenrose]

Second freighter I encountered was the free one I got. A class, looks like a destroyer from Star Wars, dunno what is called.

[@podgo576]

Man, I got the fools luck on getting an S class freighter, 2nd pirate ship battle and it was mine 166m down.

[@arrionemiller5571]

Well i now know how lucky I am 2nd fight got an s class the first one you showed now im upgrading mods i love NMS

[@suicidetony]

I got an S class capital ship after 6 attempts. About 30 minutes.

[@yasyas2255]

Hey, thanks for the video. Can you tell if we can upgrade small frigates we send on missions?

[@IceMcFried]

can you explain how ignoring the fight and going into the space station to save works? i have tried that and completely and utterly wasted my time by doing that as the freighter outside disappeared and now i have to do it all over again.

[@neoverse]

Another vid I watched says the same thing but they never responded when it was pointed out that it doesn't work. The battle is always MIA after reloading. Also one guy even said you can land on the freighter to check the class which doesn't work either because the whole fleet and pirates vanish when you attempt to land on it. edit: Maybe it only works if MP is enabled? I can't play MP so can't test it.

[@IceMcFried]

@@neoverse Hey mate, it's been a while since i last played NMS, but i do remember that i found out later online that most of these things don't work anymore the way that they used to. I did manage to do it, though, in the end. Found the freighter appearance that i wanted (largest one, star wars reference with the roof thing at the back). It took a whole day worth of grinding to get it, since early morning to fairly late (1am). First i searched through systems one by one for the appearance of a ship that i liked (you can do it like this, or wait till you unlock the portal so you can use an already found and documented one and search for the exact one you want) Once i found it, it was only a matter of remembering which system it was exactly and then defeating the pirates (EVERY TIME OTHERWISE IT DOESN'T WORK) and then hopping on the freighter and checking the rank. That's pretty much it, having a save ready just before you jump and get into a freighter save scenario is integral of course, and then you just go from there. it's tedious as hell. My friend just took the same one i found, and grinded the ranks, instead of looking for one for himself. honestly, finding an S rank takes so... fuken... long... it took me iirc 54 tries just to get S rank, not counting the appearance searching. (i wrote down every single try in my note book and which ranks i got, but i'm too lazy to go and look for it right now, but i can if anyone is curious). Best of luck, mate. **note, checked my notebook cause it was closer to me than i thought, it was 67 tries, my friend got his S rank in 54 tries. (1 try consists of, loading in a save, jumping to a system, fighting off the pirates, checking rank.)

[@MooseBeanZ98]

I randomly stumbled across an S class freighter yesterday but it was just sat there so I could land and talk to the captain, what’s the benefits to having an S class over my old C class?

[@Recon777x]

How much might it cost to buy a nice S class freighter? And what do you do with your existing one if you buy it? Do you lose everything on it or what?

[@xnappy898]

I just got a free freighter and it was S class. Guess I was lucky😅

[@flowdaflava6574]

Ok, help would be lovely. I’ve been playing for a bit and got to my first freighter battle, issue was, it was a system freighter under attack, same kind of battle as the capital class. So I said “hmm I haven’t played it over a year, maybe this is new” so I grabbed the freighter. Fast forward another few hours, same issue occurs, ever system I jump into on my 5th jump has a system freighter battle instead of a capital one…Can anyone explain/help?

[@KennyS16]

what’s the cooldown time for the freighter missions after debriefing the commanders from the previous mission

[@cmarchi128]

Can another player fly with you in your freighter?

[@sonnyday6830]

If I find another freighter that I like and swap, will I lose everything on my old freighter?

[@darkdeath47xxx]

i just got the game this month on Nintendo switch and i just got my first freighter and its a A class 😊😀 go me

[@jonathanbaker4361]

I bought an A class Freighter. No battle, just flew on board. Saw it wS A class, went to the captain and gave him 12 mil. Can you upgrade the class of your frigate fleet? I hired an S class Trade frigate, but my initial one, that came with the freighter was a Class C fighter. Also, whe. I DO eventually trade up, can I take the frigate fleet with me? I know, I sound like California woman, getting a divorce and taking the kids. But it's a game

[@HellionSol]

I found a derelict freighter in space, but didnt realize I could go inside. How do I leave my ship to get into it ?

[@McKingski]

If you don’t see a green landing zone you can’t enter this particular one

You can have up to 12 ships but the freighter will show just 6 i think, unfortunately who posted the video cannot answer you as he passed away, may he rest in peace 🕊✝️
