[@editingbasket9728]

Damn really good info!

[@DarkElfDiva]

If you have a ship with a lot of cargo space, you can make that ship your home ship, transfer a buttload of stuff into it, then go back to having your favorite ship as a home ship, and all that stuff will be transferred to the smaller ship automatically, even if it's WAY more than the ship can hold. This does not affect the ship in any way, other than not letting you put anything else in it, obviously. You can do this every time you want to unload your character's inventory.

[@agentnukaz1715]

My next ship will but nothing but a tiny engine and CARGO

[@Puppy_Puppington]

I was wondering how I did it. Thank you.

[@qinxalim9764]

What confused me is that I found a ship on a planet on Kapteyn 1 and found a woman and her pet but I thought the ship was abandoned until I saw it as a option to steal it but I went into a abandoned mine and came back out and it registered it as my home ship even though it's not my ship. Is this a glitch?

[@BeKind1Love]

Simply drop items in ship and change paint. Faster method.

[@4everbatchlor365]

@@qinxalim9764no you can steal ships with Little to no penalties.

[@michaeloliver5892]

Put a single bar of power on missiles. Missile Regen takes way too long even at full power, but there’s no penalty for running at minimum. Missiles are great burst damage… so it’s worth running them on dim.

[@DiveFeed]

love that tip thank youuu

[@jonnydarkfang2816]

Doesn't the damage increase with power though? Shields and engines definitely do (increase in strength with power) and I just assumed the weapons all do as well. They only do 100% damage when at full power?

[@jemal999]

​@@jonnydarkfang2816 Damage does seem to be determined by power from what I've seen.

[@jonnydarkfang2816]

@@jemal999 Yeah I tested after posting and it's true for everything EXCEPT Missiles. Instead of damage, the more power you put in increases the reload rate instead. So basically you can spam them quicker at full power as the refill faster but they'll do the same damage regardless. It seems that way anyways.

[@zachkoelzer7559]

My missiles are maxed and can take a ship out in 2-3 missiles lol

[@Roid4269]

One little secret I've discovered is... At the beginning, before your character creation when you are mining with Linn and Heller. When Heller is talking about strange gravity readings, instead of going up that little incline, instead, go to the left and down the slope. At the bottom, hug the right wall until you see a discoloration in the rock that doesn't look like the surrounding rock. Blast it open with your cutter and inside, you'll find a souvenir NASA cup and a few nodes of Europium to mine. Also, while you're down there, you can look around and find some Neodymium to mine.

[@marcinson1342]

Found that, too

[@Fransens]

Another tip I can't stress enough: The PAYLOADS skill under Tech. While it LOOKS like it's something related to missiles it Actually is just flat out giving you +10/20/30/50% cargo space for your ship. Which, considering how you can easily get to 2k cargo already with a few modules, is a huge increase without adding any mass. Enjoy.

[@DominusNox106]

Same recommendation but added with picking up guns. I'm swimming in ammo.

[@Duvoncho]

On top of this I noticed that the Payloads bonus stacks! For example: If you have Payloads rank 1, you get the 10% cargo bonus as expected. But if you then recruit a crew member who also has payloads 1 (either the dude from that Mars side quest or a random generic 'payloads specialist'), then the 10% from the 2nd Payloads rank 1 also applies on top.

[@Fransens]

@@Duvoncho THAT is really good to know! I was wondering how and what actually stacks with crew skills since the fucking things are never properly explained in detail. Like what parts of the skill you can look up on your own skill descriptions do they use? Game doesn't tell you! Do the parts the crew members use stack with yours? Game doesn't tell you! It honestly turned me off so bad about caring at all about crew members. So yeah, your info helps a ton. Thanks!

[@digidecks]

Or just drop everything in the ship, mod it, and bam it's all in cargo

[@HoodNinjaichi]

Cargo modules add weight which lowers your mobility. The payload increases the extra space without adding heavy cargo modules.

[@HoodNinjaichi]

If you choose the kitchen sink option with no compromise during the "Overdesign " mission gives a free class c ship with all high end parts.

[@alphawolves8809]

Wait, what?

[@DatMageDoe]

@@alphawolves8809 It's true, but I hesitate to call it a good ship. For its size and mobility, its cargo hold capacity is rather low, as the ship has lots of small capacity holds instead of the larger, more space/mass efficient ones. In addition, the ship has a staggering 2800 units of fuel, which is horrendous overkill - remove all but one of them, which will shave off a lot of mass for more mobility, cargo capacity, or both. On top of that, the ship is a maze and a half and needs a serious hab redesign to not get lost trying to get to the cockpit or relevant Habs.

[@alphawolves8809]

Thanks!!

[@HoodNinjaichi]

It's easier and cheaper to redesign the Kepler than any other ship due to it starting with high end parts. Instead of building your own from scratch (which is expensive) or redesigning a npc ship (mid range parts so it can also be expensive) redesigning the Kepler is the fastest and most cost effective method.

[@a.p.2356]

@@DatMageDoe if you view it as a collection of high level free parts though, it's pretty great. You can completely disassemble it and rebuild it however you want after you get it.

[@Shadencile]

The Crimson Fleet main base is so good for selling everything, because all of their vendors are just lined up next to one another down the hallway and they will buy everything you have, and so it removes the need to wait for them to restock as often since you can sell directly to like 5 vendors in a row.

Best weapons for starter ships are 4x Particle Beam (Disruptor 3340 Alpha Beam). Uses the full 12 power you can allocate to one weapon group, has 3500 reach, damages shields and hull the same and with full power delivered it shoots very fast without the need for cooling/refreshing inbetween. You can keep firing forever, it melts everything. Don't need anything else except maybe missiles with 1 power allocated for flavor.

​@@flyingpigfarm1this seems like a game you can play without as much combat there's just so many other things to do. Like mining for one.

[@rosshaikenleonen1416]

For the weapons system. There is something called Turret. You don't have to control it, it fires automatically and depending where you put it on your ship, it can fire above, blow or even behind you while you focus on the enemy ahead. I put a shield destroyer on Mouse 1 and then a missile launcher on Mouse 2 which almost 1 hits anything without a shield.

[@M3thusalhem]

Turrets are life savers, I put some in there when I'm in a pickle with some battles, more then 10 ships at a time can be a bit heavy

[@noscream3809]

turrets are awesome, I play turrets only and everything fell from the sky. with lvl 29 I was able to skirmish with one of the legendary ships, cant remember the name...lvl55 Galactus or something. was a 10 minutes fight, but got it down. I realised 2 things with turrets. Seems like they have an operating arc of 180°, thats why I have 4 in forward position and 2 additional facing aft, so I am covered 360°. energy management is key, usually I have 90% for the 4 forwards and 10% for the 2 in the rear. second thing I realised, was that the turret skill was not leveling up with my particl beam turrets, I had to use ballistic turrets....but now this is skill is up I switched back to particle and that things are shredding left and right. oh and I have 2 suppressors, just in case there is a mission where I have to not destroy everything around me 😆

[@raginasiangaming910]

Turrets are overrated imo. The problem is they target anything, which tends to spread. Maybe I'm using them wrong, but I also run very maneuverable ships so I prefer to have all guns forward firing.

[@LeBurns-63]

Okay, most useful thing I pulled from this was to pick up all guns for the ammo. Makes sense, but I never thought of that. Hate to think of how much ammo I've left in guns now.

That should be standard on all games? And playing fallout and skyrim, most if not all things have value which you can sell basically everything.

[@SKy_the_Thunder]

If you haven't discovered the Den yet, or don't want to jump system, make sure you unlock a landing spot near the main settlement on a planet, like the launch site near Cydonia on Mars. During a the first few seconds of a Scan, you can still land on any location that is not the main settlement, even if you have contraband. Then just fast travel there from the scanner. It won't cause any issues with authorities or have any other consequences.

​@@DegenevestingI think most people playing this game are paying because of fallout not for a space sim game

​@@Degenevesting i played no mans sky for about 70 hours before starfield released, the whole space flight into atmosphere schtick with NMS is great for the first few hours but gets old very quickly. i found myself wanting a fast travel in nms beyond the space station teleports and starfield gives me one i can use anywhere. nms as a whole gets very old once you've seen the initial basis of all the content because you've already seen all there is to it. derelicts are one of two variations, animal and plant life are just templates mashed together, once you have a good spaceship all you do is upgrade that one, and while bethesda storytelling is generally just okay at least it HAS a story, unlike NMS. nms lost me once i realized it's entire gameplay loop consists of picking up rocks to fuel your ship so you can pick up more rocks. i'll stick with starfield, thank you

[@gurnoorsekhon6402]

[@toddabbott781]

@@ryanmitchell4426 Yah... There should not be duplicates. I think there is a mod that shows all your bonuses. They probably do not stack. I was worried about that as about half or so of the magazines are from random locations. I have 43 magazines right now. I have only found a few of the random ones. I just finished getting all my powers. Sadly I have not been able to get mods working yet. I am thinking of going with a full sniper build next with Likely 2 Athletics, 4 Stealth, 4 Gymnastics, and 4 Concealment... plus Jet Pack, Pilot, Persuasion, and Security. Then the rest in weapons likely. I am not dumping points into base, crafting, commerce, or starship building this time. I first thought Stealth was horrible because I could never get stealth kills, but the higher levels are pretty good and Concealment stacks on top of that. I am struggling with Gymnastics though because level 2 requires 5 zero G kills and those are not common late game. I will have to start this all much sooner.

[@somederp8915]

If I may add one to the list: After powerleveling via Adaptive frames, I noticed that weapons have levelscaled alternatives. Thus, a shiny Legendary from the start of the game can easily be overshadowed by a normal modified gun doing 3x or 4x the base dmg down the line. Same with armor. That makes Weapon Upgrading both more and less important, as you can always hope to just power on to the next tier or allows you to quickly modify a new tier weapon to replace an older version once available.

[@bacaestrife3615]

I love that you're using a Breach so much in these clips, as it's quickly become one of my favorite weapons. It can benefit from so many things, including but not limited to, ballistics, shotgun cert, obviously, marksmanship if you don't make it automatic, sniper cert if you put a scope on it, armor pen if you again don't make it automatic, and sharpshooting, that's just what it gets from the combat tree. It can have suppressor on it as well, etc. Plus the automatic receiver barely increases it's fire rate, so there's really no debate with the extra benefits you can get that it's better as semi-auto.

[@havokmusicinc]

big bang is even better as instead of ballistic you can apply both laser and particle trees to it

[@bacaestrife3615]

@@havokmusicinc Pretty sure that would depend on playstyle, since I'm not sure that can have scopes equipped to it to benefit from things like Sniper Cert, and it's range is a lot shorter as well I believe. Can it be silenced either? I'll have to look into how much it can be modded, but I also prefer ballistic weapons, as I prefer the boom boom bang, to pew pew.

A point on the limited spaces to slot weapons; in the Structural tab for ship building you can buy weapon platforms allowing you to place weapons where previously unavailable

For the weapons power thing I am pretty sure the game is encouraging you to allocate power as you need it, not just once. So you could have power to 1 or 2 weapons most of a battle and swap as needed.

[@reaganharder1480]

Adjusting power mid battle is kinda tricky though. It takes your attention away from the battle itself for a couple seconds, which at least with my ship setup, is probably gonna cost more potential damage output than it'll gain by optimizing my weapons

[@Tearakan]

And some weapons don't need much power like missiles. Just use them for burst

[@hungryowl1559]

I use to play elite dangerous (they took the pip system from that game) so pip management is second nature.

tbh i just go with two suppressors, four missile launchers and four shield breakers the missiles are outrageous amounts of burst damage if i want to wipe something from the face of the galaxy, the lasers do half decent damage on their own but those EM suppressors are for when i wanna board a ship or just leave a particularly tanky, annoying large ship floating in space with no guns on it while i chip away at it.

Better yet when surveying planets, check the mission boards sometimes they have scan a planet and offer 10k credits in addition to what you sell Vladimir

[@Nah-d8l]

Big tip: Dont worry about loot too much! because of the NG+ design it's not worth hoarding weapons you wont use in the short term. Only start hording stuff after you've beaten NG+ enough times to be comfortable (10 is the max for leveling up powers)

You can hold right click with a cutter to "Focus" the beam for quicker mining and more damage (think spinning up a minigun) this actually makes heller's cutter a great weapon for early to mid game on the easier difficulties.

This game is so god damn good. every time i quit the game I go straight to KZbin. I ended up watching a video about the game. And then fire the game right back up again. Baaah just can't put it down.

[@leewalker23]

Starfield is a treat for me. I never heard of nor followed news of it (unlike Cyberpunk 2077 & Fallout 4 that I've followed since day one of the teaser) and suddenly it's released and I got to play it in game pass.

[@GronTheMighty]

I spent 2 hours today looking over the detail work of the inside and outside of the starter ship.. Lots of interesting and cool details that make decent sense, and a few handfuls of things that are kinda moronic but funny. Time well spent :D

[@madcat998]

Small tip to expand on ship swapping for overflowed cargo so if you have a ship with 10k cargo fill it and swap to a ship with 400 cargo the 10k will go onto the smaller ship as some of you may know. But make sure you have an ample amount of ship parts as you won't be able to pick any up which can make repairing your ship in combat a hassle.

[@djkurisu1]

Couldn't you just drop some ship parts in the ship and change the color of rhe ship to add yo your inventory?

[@ethanrodriguez3999]

i’m loving the content over starfield y’all are making, but we need more role playing builds 😤

[@ICaImI]

Another thing you wish you knew is: you want only one ship weapon and that is particle beams. Especially early on when you don't have enough power for two weapon systems. Particle beams do decent damage against both shields and hulls.

[@sebastianagnalt]

I also found for whitewashing items like recources you could (not always) just drop the item like lets say 50 stolen copper and when picking it up again from the ground they are no longer stolen... i use it alot for ammo and recources but i find that when in bigger quantities or with some certain items it wont work, but it's a great quick move to secure some items

[@CanEHdianBobtoo]

You may already know that most or all ship skills can be gained in the UC Vanguard simulator. Use the same skills as the sim to complete challenges quickly.

[@marcushillerstrom25]

Early in the game (> level 25) just put particle beam weapons everywhere on your ship. It deals massive damage to both shields and hull, so it just chews through enemy ships.

[@christianhill4404]

I love this I've watched so many videos about Powers none of them specify that the weight limit is negated when you use that power.

[@WeCantStopHere]

Late to the party, but here's a few tips if you prefer controller. 1) Set jump to clicking the left stick and crouch to right stick click. Just do it, it'll be weird at first, but makes things so much easier. Can aim faster when flying, and eva is so much easier to control. 2) Change ship weapons to LT, RT and LB. Keep thrusters on RB. 3) Set sprint to LB and power to RB. Grenades to LB+RB. Encourages much more power use. Plus having two buttons for grenade feels like pulling the pin and throwing for RP reasons. B for punch. I know I have more that make the game so much better, but can't think of them atm.

[@Recoil1808]

One trick I found out through personal experimentation is this. Cycle your weapons if you're using auto-weapons. This also probably applies to single-shot weapons, but not nearly to the same degree. Let me explain. Instead of firing both at the same time and having down periods where you aren't pumping out damage, fire one when the other is low and let the depleted weapon recharge. Rinse and repeat and you will have better results, generally, than if you just pumped the damage out in one go. The moment I figured this out I went from dying or losing all my parts every single combat I was in, to usually scraping by.

[@zachcarter9716]

The razorleaf is the best ship to add on to because you’ll still get called out as the mantis and some spacers, ecliptic, crimson fleet will give you dialogue realizing the mantis is after them.

[@zachcarter9716]

Another tip i found helpful is not every legendary and epic gun doesn’t mean it’s better than a rare or uncommon gun, the only way you’ll get super high physical damage gun is by looting and opening the hexagonal sphere chest you get after taking over an enemy facility or after a big story mission. Going to planets with abandoned outpost are one of the best ways to have a good firefight and you can go to different planets for hours looting really good guns but obviously try and go to higher level systems

[@EyeOfMagnus4E201]

I bought the Rambler, and discovered that a ship having only two weapons (in this case particle beams and missiles) actually does work really well. I loved the Rambler so much that with my pirate character I instantly bought the Haunt (a pirate version of the Sparrow class) when I got the chance, and with my UC character I changed out the Frontier’s weapons replacing the lasers with particle beams and the projectile weapon with an EM weapon, which I always keep powered down except on the rare occasion I want to capture a ship, effectively making it a two weapon ship mostly (since I rarely use it, the EM weapon gets the Y button on my controller - I prefer using the controller even though I play on the PC).

[@daniwanicki]

I'm about 70hrs in and can't get enough, incredibly fun game! I can see my self spending 1500hrs in it like I did with Skyrim lol.

[@lasse4416]

And then you can start modding and future is unlimited 😂

[@vegyzus]

About the ship weapons… just turn engine all the way down, you don’t need your engine all too much in ship battles and you can easily max out sheild, missles, and the other two types of weapons all at the same time and use them all at the same time. Destroy any ship in seconds

[@Whatisvr]

EVERY time you get the same power after you start new game plus you rank up the super powers all the way up to level 10. it will change the name of your power to "POWER level II all the way to POWER level X" and each upgrade considerably changes each ability

[@eddydcwildmigo90]

​@@Pkilla80sucks for you man

[@goodbodha]

Here would be my basic tips: 1. Get your piloting up. Always be working towards the next rank. 2. Dont bother with outposts until you get to new game plus. Its not that you cant do it sooner its that the new game plus resets essentially everything but level, skills, and powers. 3. Get more cargo space on your ship. Its a big deal for inventory management. On a side note always destroy enemy ships from low level to high and keep an eye out on capturing that final ship in each engagement. There are several really big ships you can capture that have massive cargo. Look for the one that looks like it has a bunch of cargo containers. I got one of those and it had 3400 cargo stock. 4. Unless you plan on role playing pistols are a waste of time. Go rifles. There are plenty of very nice rifles to choose from and ammo will be plentiful. 5. If you plan on going new game plus at some point do yourself a favor and pick skills in the first play through that will speed you up substantially in a second run. If something is a quality of life skill take that. Piloting, weight capacity increasing, persuasion, lock picking, weapon modding, starship design are all top tier choices. 6. Powers. Im not going to mention how many or what they do, but do yourself a favor and keep doing the related quests until you cant do them anymore BEFORE continuing the main quest. There is a limit to how many you can do per game and you will have to do multiple games to get them all.

[@SCSAsJorts]

Honeslty I’ve found myself using pistols more than rifles, I have at least 2-3 pistols that if they aren’t a one shot it’s definitely getting them in the next 2-bullets

[@goodbodha]

@@SCSAsJorts I could see that in the first run, but in the second I find basically all the enemies are dropping rifle ammo and using rifles except for the top dog on the bounty quests who are always using heavy weapons. Sticking to 2-3 rifle ammo types keeps me rolling along really well.

[@SCSAsJorts]

@@goodbodha I will say though Peacekeeper and the Orión are chefs kiss

[@goodbodha]

@@SCSAsJorts Im running an orion (167 dmg)for sniping, magpulse (162 dmg), and magshear (19 dmg, but 345 rate of fire). Orion handles most things, but I swap to magpulse when I want mid to close range firepower. Magshear isnt as good due to frequency of reloads, but I still like how it deletes single enemies so fast so I use it occasionally for a 3rd option.

[@mikemartinlfs1]

Just wanted to say that i appreciate the spoiler warning. I was literally 1 quest from getting the power mentioned in the first section and I skipped ahead. I'm back now that I've unlocked the menu just to say thabks for not spoiling anything.

[@sbouhafs8094]

A trick i learned in piloting when facing multiple opponent .it helped me a lot securing tier six in vanguard quest consistently, if u want to do a quick turn no matter the angle .DO NOT lower your ships engine speed ,as it also lower u'r manoeuvrability thrust ,insted us the thrusters button (RB on xbox) ,and turn, it's really fast .U can literally do a 180, and face your tailer in like a second with a 60 manoev. ship.

[@bjpargeter466]

Why are your reviews so much more positive than everyone else?

[@milliannek]

Because they played the game - most people just seem to be reviewing it, and based on the ridiculous amount of people saying the same thing despite it being a dumb statement (like complaining about load screens in a game with 1000ish planets + star stations that all have different gravities, rotations and environments and would have taken much longer to release if they didn't implement the load screens) whilst not even seeming to notice the problems that exist when you actually play it - like the non event that is the wedding ceremony - makes me think they're all just regurgitating what got someone else views. It's rare to find a video that is original by someone who is actually PLAYING it, not just sprinting through enough to produce clickbait 😮‍💨 And yes i know that's a rant, it's just really annoying me

[@beardedzeus1337]

If you add a couple Habs with a lot of containers that can hold things and use a cockpit with a captains locker... you can store a bunch of stuff in those containers then modify your ship(literally just add a plate or change paint or something and save) and it'll auto store all of that stuff into your cargo hold.... regardless if you're already maxed out(similar to just putting a bunch of stuff in the cargo hold of a ship with a ton of storage then switching to a smaller storage ship, just without having to switch ships). Conversely you can literally just... drop it all on the floor of your ship and modify your ship and itll pull everything into the cargo hold the same way.

[@NUCLEARxREDACTED]

Bro the alternative boost for jumping is a game changer. You can use it with controller on PC if you set up a custom steam controller layout.

[@brandonnotsowise2640]

You can get a free nova light disrupter if you get like 5 or 6 missions into the Ryujin quest line. I found that I could only incapacitate people after 2 charged shots. One non-charged shot does nothing, and one charged shot can incap an unsuspecting armored NPC.

[@rushoflife2368]

Upgrade the EM weapons on your combat skill tree. I one shot most npc’s with the nova disruptor.

[@chunchoe]

i mean you just do 2 weapons and a missile launcher and you put 1 cube into it , itll still fire all the missiles it just takes ages to recharge so good to use at the start of combat to get a big chunk of damage or at the end once their shields are broken for a big boost of hull damage

[@sub-jec-tiv]

You can install 3 weapon types on ship, and completely disable one of them in power levels. I have turrets which automatically start firing on enemies in combat. I keep them at zero. Unless i get into a firefight with multiple ships. I positioned these cannons at both the front and back of the ship. I only turn them on when i’m in a situation with lots of ships attacking. It’s amazing in that case.

How is that fun, also you miss the loot

[@KamleshMallick]

@@Sporeboy87 Loot is everywhere. Don’t care for it. Essentially as a scientist your job is to survey planets. Add your skill points into Scanning, surveying, zoology, botany, xenobiology and geology. Have a notepad by your keyboard and jot down any beautiful planets and their location (system, planet, moon etc) for any possible outpost building you may do in the future. I found a planet full of different dinosaur type reptiles all fighting each other and will soon build a home there so I can watch them go at it hammer and tongs from my balcony. That's just me though :) Maybe 200 hours later, I may do those quests :)

@@SCoTTiSNiPE yeah it’s not for everyone. Did not do any quests after dumping the constellation lady and went solo exploring and surveying. Playing on very hard mode I've explored 30 planets/moons, surveying them completely (I'm a completionist and 1000 planets to me is not a turn off). I've built a few small outposts that help feed my decorating, modding and general crafting addiction. I am also hooked on space combat and now am fairly good at it. I have a nice house on a lush planet where I hoard all my contraband for when I go full pirate later on in the game. I've started decorating that too but as yet 4 rooms are empty. I explore planets and just survey moons. I'm at lvl 22. Gaining XP from fighting during exploration, base building and surveying. Again no quests done!

Those alt buttons have to be assigned to a certain original button. Defeating the purpose. I think. Cause i actually didnnt understand how he got to do the forward thrust. But those paddles on the back can he handy for sure. Specially for allocating power during flight. Since you get 4 profiles and can change then easily. One can be for space combat, etc

[@seanrosenau2088]

4:43 Purple & Gold. Is that a Saints Row reference ?

[@dl950]

I don’t see this suggested, but in ship battles use the thrusters (RB) and maneuver while at full speed in order to turn on a dime basically. The thrusters supersede the main engines when applied but also maintains your current velocity
