Starfield Ship Building Guide - MS-4 Raptorclaw Mercenary Ship Build

Here's my 23rd ship-building guide to making the MS-4 Raptorclaw a Mercenary ship build. Constructed by Ryujin Industries’ subsidiary, Taiyo Astroengineering, the MS-4 was designed as the pinnacle of security technology-an elite ship for the Operatives. With its sleek lines and advanced systems, it represented the zenith of corporate craftsmanship, intended to protect the interests of the powerful. In the year 2327, just as a groundbreaking fuel efficiency upgrade loomed on the horizon, the MS-4 was discontinued. It seemed destined to fade into obscurity. That was until one man, fueled by rage and loss, took it upon himself to resurrect this forgotten vessel.
All parts can be found in Akila City using the Easier ship building mod. Prepare at least 400k to build this ship.

The completness of the presentation is fantastic. TY.

[@emdee0014]

Awesome work. I love the back stories that you attach to these builds. Very cool stuff!

[@timfrazee5848]

Great work! Your design has been approved and incorporated into the fleet.

[@Cerberus_1975]

Great ship design! Built one for myself, with a couple personal tweaks of course.

[@craigf537]

Great ship build but awesome video composition. Thanks for sharing!

[@areo79]

Beautiful presentation

[@carstenfolsch5100]

Somehow I didn't realize that I wrote at your announcement for this ship (I guess I'm too sick) and not at the actual video, so I'll quote myself from there: "Ok, I love it. This is probably the best looking self designed ships of yours yet. At least in my opinion. This has the potential to be your Millennium Falcon, it really looks iconic. And I just don't get why they "fixed" that glitch(es). Ok, I can see that glitches and bugs in general should be fixed. But this one? It not only doesn't make the game experience worse, it makes it better! And the people at Bethesda must be more blind than I thought, if they aren't able to see how much more fun ship building with this glitches is. But yeah, it's like always, you need the modders to make sure that the game gets good and better. A great shoutout to all these people who're keeping the modding scene alive and provide us almost daily with tons of new stuff. And thank you @CyberVinLouis for sharing this amazing design with us all. Can't wait to build it! Because... if I have to travel bored trough a game, I can at least travel with style." Oh, and by the way, your new presentation style with the ship's lore etc. is really cool.

[@cardinal151515]

Thank you, i appreciate it! I wish they tried to integrate overlapping parts into vanilla as a feature instead of completely removing it. Their recent ship building contest winners are all glitched builds. Still, it doesn't make sense to me. Maybe they're trying to fix something in preparation for the Dlc release? Anyway, really big thanks to modders

[@AdmiralKarelia]

Not to mention, I'm pretty sure some of the vanilla ships have glitches in their builds. I can't recall which ones but I've tried to mimic a few vanilla placements and been unable to.

[@Rikhammer]

Well done man this is fkn amazing. Your video editing skills are superb.

[@Tyshark]

Great intro. Almost fell over with Revan. Great build video. Killer music! Going to build it. Thank you!

[@ameliarhodes5000]

Oh my gawd that was a session. You must either be a genetic experiment, interdimensional being or an alien to come up with these amazing and complicated builds. I had to slow playback by half and go over it a few times. And the mods are not as simple as plug and play. I think I've started to load too many for my rig! Curse you! I'll never settle for vanilla now. 🤣 Thanks for exercising my brain!

[@93MANIAC]

Nice really nice I freaking love the designs and the backstory of the ship and it's captain and I'm very excited to see your next ship is going to look like and I would love to see you make a pirate ship or a smuggling ship in the near future because it would be a really good opportunity to use Elianora's amazing Crimson Fleet ship habs

[@SiNKiLLeR_]

Yooo nice build

[@rosesareredbutzerglingssti9290]

I hate the exploration in Starfield (too much empty planets repeating the same points of interest over and over again), but the soundtrack, the combat and the ship building/customization mechanic are excelent.

[@cameronlamb5430]

In the creation menu for free is a mod called Astrogate. It can be a little buggy at times but it allows you to travel between planets and the mod author is still working on it but it’s what I use and I love it

[@rosesareredbutzerglingssti9290]

@@cameronlamb5430 Sorry, but I won't return to play Starfield just to because this mod. That is not enough. Maybe I decide to return to Starfield in the day when: 1)Bethesda gets rid of that lazy multiverse narrative; 2) give us a decent main quest and 3) give us a far greater variety of points of view. Until, I don't give a fig for Starfield.

[@skinnyboycole_TTV]

There's mods for the exploration, new pois and it puts alot more on the planets

[@rosesareredbutzerglingssti9290]

@@skinnyboycole_TTV I don't care. It's about time to Bethesda to stop letting the modders fix their games and to they to start doing it themselves. Modders should only improve what is already good. Not do the work of lazy devs.

The outer design makes me think of the Ebon Hawk from Knights of the old republic.

[@Mathaius161]

He has an Ebon Hawk build on his channel, it's very good

[@carstenfolsch5100]

@@Mathaius161 It really is! The Ebon Hawk and the Millennium Falcon were the first ships I discovered from this channel. There were other ones from other designers, but there was always something that was a bit off for me. Here was the first time I saw the glitches used in such a clever way, that the ships are as near to the originals as possible. I also can recommend his Serenity. Needs some Mods, but nothing too complicated.

Great build as always. Could you list your ship mod load order though, after the recent update, mine has broken, and I don't know how to fix it.

[@cardinal151515]

my current load order @5:37

[@carstenfolsch5100]

Hey, back again from the Abyss. ;) Didn't play for many weeks and now I found time to give it a try again. Wanted to start with this design of yours but it didn't worked, as Bethesda killed the glitches, as we knew. But I was sure that I had all the necessary mods to do it anyway. And realized, that one is missing: Easier Ship Building. Problem is, I can't find this one at all at the creations site. Was it renamed? Or are there any alternatives? As the building is the most fun part of the game for me, I think I'll ditch the game, If I can't get this to work again. I really hope, there's any kind of solution to this.

[@axelhopfinger533]

Another excellent design and presentation. Except for the interior layout. Even For a mercenary ship it's just too spartan. There are plenty of battle stations (for what?) but no crew quarters or holding cells for bounties. Also no storage or cargo capacity worth mentioning. And the captain's quarters are half of the usable interior space seems like. The general design works well, but the ship needs at least another level for the necessary facilities to become functional. Without those, it's practically just a fighter/boarding vessel, barely suited for anything but short range missions with minimal crew.

[@carstenfolsch5100]

Oh, there's also something else that comes to my mind. I think, your videos should really get more attention. Did you ever think about making YT Shorts? I mean, take your lore part and make something like a trailer out of it. Just for example. Probably there will be more views, maybe it's worth the attempt.

[@cardinal151515]

Thanks! I'm actually planning to do yt shorts soon 😊

How did you do the logo on the ship? Is it a mod? Or just photoshop?
