Thanks for the previews! Would love to see a listing of beds, crew stations, other workstations (such as a galley). Also, appreciate the warning for the uncomfortable plastic beds.

[@ihtfp01]

I don't think the landers can be turned off (yet). What you could do is build a separate outpost with a shipbuilder on it and use that for creating these videos....

[@delindsay]

@@jasonbow1926 I can start adding bullet point notes in the video description if you like, about which Hab has what unique features.

[@Groundstain]

Bethesda puts in some of the dumbest building rules. Having flipable habs should be obvious.

[@RED_Theory038]

It bothers me so much that you can't flip or rotate rooms. Same for placing doors and ladders manually without fiddling around with walkways and windows. Makes building something compact and functional a pain.

[@boxhead6177]

Its also dumb, the outposts have configuration options including where doors... but ships don't. Like why are there dozens of habs... just 1 hab, with config options to put everything and anything in them.

[@goantasebastian2584]

Just gotta wait for those mods

​@@goantasebastian2584well the game is pretty new so there might be a chance Bethesda will do something for ship customization.

They have hundreds of employees and NONE OF THEM ever thought "you know what, we need flippable habs and the ability to manually put ladders"

I hope DLC opens up the trident luxury staryard, because it would be cool to have the captains quarters or living quarters be trident habs specifically

[@delindsay]

Absolutely YASSS!!

[@markgreenwell9991]

Absolutely, yes. And they need to fix Taiyo. It's supposed to be the super fancy one, and yet it is just a Hopetech with a different color scheme.

[@turtlemasteralpha3320]

@@markgreenwell9991yea the taiyo 2x2 all in one berth is the most disappointing one of the bunch. It looks like a homeless shelter.

[@whzpoor]

Definitely needs an internal Build Mode like Outpost building where you can edit hab wall styles.

[@delindsay]

100%

[@markgreenwell9991]

AGREED

[@Sams911]

I wish we had the option to decide where we want the hatches and ladders... nothing frustrates me more than how some ships turn out like a maze because they won't let me place the ladders and hatches where I want to.

[@delindsay]

100% agree. I'm going to make a video after this Hab series is done that showcases "best practices" but it's still NO guarantee where the doors will end up. The ladders you can (mostly) control.

[@chyhart]

Seriously, and the hax for it dont always work. If on mouse and keyboard you get an Attach [G] button where you can mouse hover over a connection point and hit G, and then select the thing you want to attach and supposedly that will force an access point there. It does not always work. I've wound up with zero access to habs, with doors in the wrong spots, with doors leading to tables and cant even get through, ladders leading to storage or companionways with no continued access. Did the devs only build ships with their dev tools and manually select these things? Not once ever building a ship from the perspective of a player? How did that entire team go years with out addressing this unless not a single one of them actually utilized the feature as it was created for the players. SERIOUSLY... i'd love to be a fly on that wall.

[@nekoali2]

Nova Galactic is the clear winner here. It is the only hab that feels like actual private quarters for the captain. Stroud-Eckland is the mystery. Despite them being my favorite overall, the carbon copy of the military style Deimos, but brighter is just a mystery to me. You would figure if any of the companies would provide luxurious housing, it would be them. The All in One hab for them is fine, but this feels strange and out of place to me.

[@Alex-dh2cx]

It feels like they designed nova, hopetech, and deimos with a clear purpose, then wanted two more manufacturers so they reskinned deimos and hopetech. That's why taiyo is the worst to me, as its supposed to be a premium ship but has the same shitty cots as hopetech, and rough design, except for their cockpits. Deimos is sparse like it should be, but hopetech and nova are the best, nova#1

[@delindsay]

@@Alex-dh2cx Probably this.

[@delindsay]

Agreed.

[@JB-xl2jc]

Nova Galactic does not have a bathroom at all. Total deal breaker for me.

[@delindsay]

@@JB-xl2jc You're correct, not sure how I didn't notice that.

[@JTMConceptions]

They really need to have a hab interior update that let's you actually customize how it's laid out. I really dig the aesthetic of the hope tech interiors and color schemes (dark floors and dark walls), but often have to swap them out for the other hab manufacturers due to the current limitations the system has. Each hab should have a console you can activate to enter "customize" mode that has a basic functionality of toggling the different corners or grid, similar to what they do with windows and doors on the outpost structures. Maybe have each "spot" on the grid (like how every hab has its bed placed on the same side of the same wall, couch in a corner, etc.) be a specific point where you can cycle through a few options. Instead of the hopetech bed, you can swap it out for the nova galactic bedroom. Instead of the chairs and tables, you can put the couch placement there instead. Instead of where the navigation table is placed, you can mark that wall to be reserved for the door/entrance.

[@delindsay]

100% agree.

[@whzpoor]

I dont think they need a console, it should be editable like Outpost hab walls, where you can edit them in Build Mode to switch between variants.

[@JTMConceptions]

@@whzpoor While I do agree, that'd be much better, I feel like having that system added into the ship builder menu might be a bit too complicated for Bethesda to implement with how their engine operates. Having it work through an activated console in the ship seems much more on par with something Bethesda might actually consider doing

[@ProjectChaos77]

I think something like that will be implemented when mods for the consoles release sometime next year.

Guess it was too much to ask Bethesda to allow us to see and dictate interior orientation within each habitat. Thank you. And what do you think you are doing introducing physics into a game?

[@PierreLucGagnon58]

Just a small note concerning why would the captain need a table and four chairs; The spaceships would be inspired by real world merchant marine as well as navy. In those cases, the captain's quarters often have a table with multiple chairs as it is used like a meeting room when the officers need to discuss important matters with the captain. Instead of the captain going on deck to meet with the officers, they can call them to their quarters for a more secluded meeting. There you go, that doesn't change anything to what you were saying but it just answers the questions as to why Beth put those in there.

If you have a ladder where you don't want one (i.e. middle of the beds), sometimes adding window(s) to the side makes it connect straight to a companionway. This usually wouldn't be a problem, but sometimes it is if you have another hab under said hab.

[@thefrub]

[@Gottaculat]

Nova Galactic has become my favorite build set for interiors. I'm well over level 50 with about 250 hours of gameplay, and I've spent well over a million credits building ships from micro builds to massive builds, and Nova Galactic just nails that "home among the stars" feel all the others lack, unless you're a space crack addict, in which case Hope Tech is your ticket to meth labs in space. my current build is using that frog-head Nova Galactic cockpit, and the bottom entrance leads to a battle station hab and the rest of the ship, while the top door leads to a 1x1 storage room that then leads to the NG captain's quarters, coming in through the forward bulkhead. Feels great having that room all to myself, and Vasco likes to hunker down in the storage room, so it's like I have a security droid guarding entry to my quarters.

[@delindsay]

Oh if only we could mount Turrets to the ceiling like every other Ship in game.

@@delindsay Wonderful, I look forward to your future content. Notifications on then🙃😆

[@TheElMuffin]

That "computer" that you paid attention to was the atmosphere scrubber/manager or whatever you want to call it, there are writings on it that suggest it's function. It would be cool if we could modify what and where everything goes, kind of like with habs: air vents, atmosphere managers or whatever constitutes life support, beds, tables, shelves, etc. Would be cool if you could decorate and only the modules you modified would have their stuff go into cargo. Habs are built in vacuum but there's no mention of where the amosphere comes from. If Subnautica you also have to put equipment for air and light on the outside, and as long as it's on the hab anywhere it works. Counting on modding community for all this.

[@user-ur1xd2sh6u]

tnx for video, don`t stop pls!

[@delindsay]

You're welcome, I plan to make videos covering all Hab types for comparison. One per day, 7 days/week until I've done them all.

[@ozymandiastotb8925]

Thank you for the comparison video. To put things in context, I have a few things to add. The only special things about a captain's quarters are the actual bed & navigation console. Just because it is labelled as captain's quarters doesn't make it a captain's quarters. Heck, I've noticed that crew members tended to be found hanging out in the captain's quarters even when I have 4 other living quarters in the starship. In fact, Sarah & Barrett were often found guilty sleeping in my bed (I married Andreja). Hopetech surprises me. Their interiors are of the same quality as the luxurious Taiyo. Hopetech has most powerful particle beam weapons. They also carry the most powerful reactor - the Pinch8z, which is also found in Taiyo whereas Deimos being a military contractor doesn't. Space trucks? No... as Andreja said - there's something deviously sinister about Hopetech. Then there is the very familiar NASA-styled Nova Galactic who has the best 2by2 living quarters in my book. There's a TV, a small gym & a pool table in there alongside 2 proper beds (not like some hammocks). But the lousiest thing about Nova is that all these wonderful interiors disappear immediately when I place a window or a hatch. To me, the only hab qualifiable as captain's quarters MUST have a toilet. The only one good enough is the 3by1 Stroud All-in-One Berth... which strangely, isn't labelled as a Captain's quarters. I don't know... whoever in BGS designed these interiors had no sense of consistency whatsoever.

[@delindsay]

My only guess is they had different teams working on each Manufacturer and didn't communicate with each other.

[@ozymandiastotb8925]

Then the project manager needs to attend project management courses. My guess is that Todd was the guilty PM.

[@delindsay]

@@ozymandiastotb8925 Hard to say but I can't imagine there was too much communication between people working on different Hab types, as evident by them being all over the place in game.

[@penmaster003]

Man, I wish they had a sixth option that was the Nova Galactic layout with the Hope Tech color scheme. I think that would be my favorite. I like the cozy lighting and gray colors in Hope Tech but the Nova with the little galley and bedroom is a cozier layout. My one annoyance with the Nova is that it's the only one without a bathroom. Which doesn't make any sense. How can you have a galley with no bathroom? lol

[@captnawty7966]

[@delindsay]

Thanks and yeah, it's really just for those who RP tbh.

[@blueskies7718]

Found out while testing the HopeTech room is that adding a top porthole on the hab will make the room act like it is a ladder and remove whatever is in the middle of the room, for me I put it on the back of the hab and it removed two of the cairs at the dest and the nav tabe and the chairs, leaving a empty spot where the nav table is supposed to be at.

[@adriankoch964]

@6:30 that light in the bathroom is what they call a "fake light", as in the pixels of the lamp are glowing so you can see them in the dark, but they aren't really casting light (and thus shadows). This is done to improve performance as the cost of real light sources in a scene scales exponentially. That's why you see more fake lights in those "cosy" scenes. Probably each segment only has a budget for one or maybe 2 real light sources but the cosy spaces seem to have more individual lamps instead of just one big ceiling light that basically leaves nothing semi-illuminated.

[@jonhancock9125]

Very helpful. Some further tips for ship builders: Some of the restrooms (heads) have the sink over the commode - totally unusable. And lack lights. The Frontier and the Nova Galactic 2X1 All-In-One Berth A are also good alternative Captain's quarters. I agree with the comment below and use Nova Galactic Captain's Quarters and the Berths mentioned. FYI: The N-G 2X1 A-I-O Berth B has an additional rack (bed). Nice for smaller, Class A ships. Good catch on the Deimos/Stroud-Eklund table top bed. Makes no sense. All the ship hab messy layouts with unsecured items are totally counter-intuitive. Loose items on a space ship become lethal missiles in a zero-G battle (See "The Expanse"). There is a mod called "Place Own Doors" (on Nexus) which is awesome. You literally have control over every hatch and ladder location! No random hatches! I have designed and built ships with full control over the access paths. Note: After installing the mod, the door placement marker is at the top of the hab menu list in Ship Builder. Just place it on the preferred hab door location and select if it's a door, a walkway (with no door) or a ladder or hole (with no ladder). Your comments on hatch (door) placement are helpful. If the side hatch deletes an important hab feature - like a head (bathroom) - try placing it on the other side of the ship. Most A-I-O Berths and Living Quarters should be on the Port (left) side to avoid deleting the head. If the hab-end hatch deletes the head, try switching it to the aft (rear). Someone, please make a mod that removes all the loose items! Please. There is a mod that provides totally blank hab modules which can be used to build luxury habs.

[@delindsay]

I think we should have 2 options in the Ship builder. Pre-built as in exactly what the Habs are now and Custom, where the Habs are empty inside and we get to place items where we choose to.

Habs are all available from Level 1. Are you building at your Outpost and/or the actual Manufacturer's Staryard? Your Outpost won't have anything larger than a 2x1 (with a few 3x1's).

You've got front and rear reversed on, at least, the Taiyo cabin. I'm certain of it, because I actually stopped my build where I had the entrance in the rear, found this video, and double checked. You say, "You're coming in from the front" (while referring to the other end as "back here"), but that's actually the back of the hab. I'm trying to decide now if I should just reload and build it all again, since I'm doing a ladderless build.

[@delindsay]

It's certainly possible. I tend to get misaligned when I'm jumping in and out of various Habs within a short period of time.

[@fungalcoffee]

I really wish there was more options for all in ones/capitans quarters that had things like research stations or work benches other than just the one. I like running alone with a small ship and having things like that on hand would be so nice

[@philash824]

I would like more control over where the hatches and ladders are in the builder. I have a few ships that have 2 decks and are 3 habs wide, that are like a maze. You can’t go from one side of the ship to the other without using at least two ladders

[@tjalve1]

Love the series, very useful info when trying to build my perfect ship. But I cannot figure out the rules for when and where doors are created (or not) between modules! Would be so much better to have control over it ourselves.

[@Mordraneth]

So far there seems to be no rules or consistency. So far the only thing that seems to be able to change doors internally (but randomly) is a port window..

[@cryptophoenix2023]

What I've found is that 1x1's are the best way to "force" the algorithm to place doors and ladders, if you understand its priorities. If you stack 1x1's then it will pretty much always build a ladder between them, but it will only ever place one ladder between each level. However, 1x1's are allergic to having more than 2 doors, and I've only seen the doors appear across from each other. So, if you have four habs adjacent to each of the 1x1's four walls, then only two of them will be directly accessible by the 1x1, while the other two will have some other route through the other habs. I haven't experimented yet with using the walkways though, so I'm curious to see what happens if you place walkways on all four walls of a 1x1. It should work to create a 1x1 with four doors, since I know it is capable of creating a 1x1 with two doors and two windows, and I assume walkways take priority for doorways to avoid dead-ends. Another thing I've noticed is that it will only ever produce a single path to each hab module, and it prioritizes ladders for 1x1's *unless* there is no other door-path created for a hab, in which case one of the other habs will have ladder access to the other hab--or to a set of habs connected by doors (ugh). The worst thing you can do is never use 1x1's. That will turn your ship into a maze. So, until a new mod or DLC is released that allows manual placement of doors and ladders, the entire strategy is to take advantage of the algorithm's prioritization of 1x1's for ladder access and walkways for door access, leaving only one possible path between modules for doors, and understanding that only ONE ladder will be created for each level *unless* one or more habs does not have a path to that 1x1 via doors on the same level.

thanks for this you rock

[@Stukov961]

All hopetech and taiyo interiors are identical except for a colour change. Same thing goes for stroud/deimos, except for the 2x1 computer cores being different for some reason.

[@Pyskiper]

I think with taiyo and hopetech i would go in where the bathroom is, it doesnt look nice and its weird positionwise i think… But yeah i think when xEdit and later on creation kit comes out i think we will get some mods that will give us a lot more options with this, rotating the modules etc. and maybe even let us decorate the modules ourselves like in the outpost mode, cant wait for that, a bit of a shame that its not in the game originally

[@crankycat3677]

I suspect the Deimos Captain's Quarters bed is just missing the mattress object. That would make more sense than a slab like you're in a morg

[@delindsay]

Man I sure hope so.

[@kfdan42]

If only Nova Galactic put in a bathroom instead of that computer wall. May I suggest you show us Deimos-Stroud & Hopetech-Taiyo back to back to have them more fresh in mind to see the minor differences? Great vid regardless and I agree 100% with where you’d place doors :)

[@caleblancaster538]

say what you will about the plastic cot, it gives really good support for me and Andreja

[@hzgn865gizijop]

Thanks again. It's pretty weird, but I loosed the navigation console in the HopeTech module after puting a ceiling window over it. Anyone else?

[@delindsay]

There was another commenter that said occasionally that happens when there's a light over a table or what not. Maybe it's a complete model, the Nav console plus anything over it on the ceiling that gets deleted as 1 unit when you put in a "skylight".

[@RED_Theory038]

Yes this happens for me too. Shame because I like putting my captains quarters at the very top floor of the ship as a loft and would love to have windows.

[@delindsay]

@@RED_Theory038 Yeah, it's pretty annoying.

[@julesjoy6499]

In my first new game plus and playing a pirate role play and I wish they would do a more luxurious caps quarters. Like even a 3x1 or 3x2, with like a bigger bed. Hoping future dlcs and modding for Xbox will create some cool alts for a hedonistic pirate

[@delindsay]

Hell yes. Think about that huge Pirate Ship that looked like a mansion inside when on the questline for Vanguard about finding the 1st Unit.

[@fortieznoshortiez]

honestly i think i like the hopetech one the best. gonna have to swap mine out on my ship for that

[@delindsay]

I'm happy to have inspired you!

[@bryandedon7459]

You should be able to add windows without taking away whats there. The window sticks out from the ship as is so it shouldn't interfere. That way you could have a window behind a couch or whatever else. Or have different windows that are flat so they don't delete anything.

[@delindsay]

I agree 100%, now get Bethesda to agree with you ;)

[@satcomliarface6313]

This video is going to sell me on what brand I'm going to use to build my next ship

[@ricobrown8396]

The first time i heard sam voice in english could he be artur morgen?

[@PhoenixBlacke]

Be nice to have s ship with the feel of the Normandy on Mass Effect. These feel so claustrophobic, and there's no rooms for your companions.

[@fidgetysl1m]

I really hope they find a way to show this stuff in ship building.

[@delindsay]

100% agree.

[@accidrainn]

⁉️ Question, if I take the windows out does my furniture come back 😂? I'm assuming so .. But, I dunno if I would just have to replace the part ? Thanks for the videos ,new sub !

[@delindsay]

It should yes.

[@TRG29338]

If it doesn't try deleting the part, saving ship, then add it back and save.

[@ghstbstr]

I do like the Nova Galactic captains quarters, but there is no bathroom in it. There could have been a bathroom in that area where there's two desks. Why is there two desks it makes no sense.

[@delindsay]

Yeah, odd design choice.

[@iyakudas]

Which companies make the connecting hallways?

[@fistovuzi]

hope tech, i think.

[@jeffjr84]

Give this man a like just because he went through the trouble to do all the edits to the video itself. Time-stamping is kind of a pain..

[@delindsay]

It's not too bad since I watch the video in full before uploading to make certain weird crap didn't happen during recording. Thanks though.

[@jeffjr84]

@@delindsay I dont on mine I'm pretty lazy with the content formatting that's why you get the big bucks :p jk.. wish they made it a little easier to do stuff like that in studio.

[@delindsay]

@@jeffjr84 I haven't used YT Studio myself yet. I do all this in Gimp & DaVinci Resolve.

[@jeffjr84]

@@delindsay thanks for the tip I'll check that out.

[@delindsay]

@@jeffjr84 You're welcome.

[@johndevilbiss2518]

FYI: While it is not a "Captain's Quarters," the frontier hab has all the same traits as one. I.e. a single bed, the table and a navigation table, bathroom, etc, AND it also has a galley, and research station in it. It does seem to be missing a couch or chairs (besides the ones around the table)... but that may be because a couch was deleted for the ladder up from the bay.

[@delindsay]

Indeed, it's a shame we can't purchase it for other Ships.

[@Stukov961]

​@@delindsaythe one on the Frontier is the Nova All in One A. Or if not exactly the same, it has all the same major components in the same place. Research station, single bed, map table, galley, table with four seats, and a bathroom.

[@delindsay]

@@Stukov961 Thanks for that.

[@tahjanthony8826]

So far hopetech and nova galactic have been my favorite ship brand for building

[@delindsay]

Mine as well.

[@Quad373]

YES THANK YOU THANK YOU

[@delindsay]

Welcome welcome!

[@MusicaX79]

Stroud has the best high end looking habs but dear god is their captain's quarter's screaming Agile and Corpo. This is MY SPACE on the ship not the teams meeting room.

[@thebashar]

Thank you for telling us where the gangways came from, I was curious.

[@delindsay]

No worries, glad to help.

[@thebashar]

@@delindsay I am sure I'll have other questions about ship constructions as I play, I only picked the game up recently and ship building is my favorite part so far. I do wish that there where more manufactures to choose from, but that is what DLC is for. I am itching to get into outpost building, but I want my perfect colony ship first. And your videos have been a great help in that with identifying how many crewmen the various modules can support and employ. Keep it up.

[@delindsay]

@@thebashar Thank you and always feel free to ask, I do my best to respond to everyone.

[@cod-the-creator]

It should be embarrassing for Bethesda how massively helpful these videos are lol

[@foxtartz]

Can you like..buy and save parts and pull it up for latwr building?

[@delindsay]

If only. The Ship building system as it sits is pretty basic unfortunately.

[@foxtartz]

@@delindsay Yeah..and i wish there was a 2 to 1 coupler so I can center my cockpit in the center of my 2 habs wide ship instead of being on the left or right? It bothers my ocd..

[@delindsay]

@@foxtartz For real.

[@BeardedFisherman68]

The Nova Captain quarters is definitely my favorite.

[@delindsay]

IT is very nice indeed.

[@356z]

The window thing needs to be fixed. I just leveled up my Starship design skill tree and now I'm not sure I wanna mess with the feature

[@qtar1984]

Demos having a bad bed makes sense as military grade usually means lowest bidder.

[@delindsay]

Fair.
