The Decant - My Starfield Ship

After hours in the ship builder and considerable expense I've cobbled together a comfortable custom spaceship.
This is a later refinement of what started as a Deimos Longsword.
Its become less a fighter and more a frigate and now after 200,000+ credits I can start saving up for a larger class ship!

I think this is one of the nicest ships I've seen! I love the silhouette. I love the little windows at rhe back. The first area and its side rooms feel very cozy, as does the room at the top of the ladder. 10/10

[@PraxisAbraxis]

Hey, Thanks! This was the result of a good chunk of hours just getting the feel for the ship builder. I posted another vid that was an early prototype of my first Class B ship, but I unfortunately never recorded the final version of it which was much improved imo before starting NG+. I have a few other ships that I might make a quick overview of, but after over 200 hours of Starfield I've let it take a backseat in anticipation for further content and, most of all, mods. Had an absolute blast for literal days on end, though. Can't wait to see what's to come... Especially to enhance ship building!

[@shannonolivas9524]

Nice, practical ship design. Reminds me in some ways of research or navy vessels. Not sure about ladder for access ways but I guess it's less of an issue in zero G/low G.

[@GAELSAG]

Very impressed. Beautiful big ship

[@renaigh]

I respect that you didn't too ham on the habs.

[@PraxisAbraxis]

Wanted it to feel grounded as an actually useful service ship, while offering enough comfort to ensure it could be a home away from home. I do admit, it can be hard to find the right balance.

[@AviatorFox]

I love it! Nice design

[@emmen700]

Very nice.

[@lonewulfmo9128]

wow! This ship huge like a navy vessel. Its like them big sea freighter except a space freighter.

[@exodus2oo]

I wish we could internally path our ships...

[@Shack263]

That would be cool! Honestly, the more I think about this game the more I mourn its potential.

[@ghostofwolfmoonmani3877]

adding stairs and even an elevator

[@바랑카란]

Nice ship!

[@katoshiku7367]

great build, very clean

[@AlwaysAskQuestion]

That's a god damn space station

[@docrx1857]

nice ship

[@mobi8138]

Nice ship.. I know this is picky but my only thought was that the med bay is on the third floor by going up a ladder. Is there an elevator?

[@PraxisAbraxis]

I thought hard about this but there are limitations. My reasoning was that it was accessible by the docking port, haha

[@rexfiry4783]

which landing gear did u use that could go under the ship?

[@PraxisAbraxis]

Those are Taiyo Pinpoint 4G+ Landing gears. Rear ones are Deimos.

[@MrDecelles]

I 100% still prefer my Mercury Star runner.

[@tweaked74]

Me too. If only we had so many random awsome things to do in SC , as we do in SF

[@kobrraful]

very awesome build! what crew hab was that big kitchen one you used?

[@PraxisAbraxis]

Thank you. I believe it was Deimos. I actually ended up tweaking out a number of habs including that kitchen and the captain's cabin for Hopetech parts. They just feel really cozy. After that this ship hasn't really been touched. I saved up credits for a Class B and got a Stroud-Eckland Venture. A hefty sum just shy of 240,000. Have already dropped another 80,000 or so credits retrofitting it.

[@kobrraful]

@@PraxisAbraxis ahhh, I haven't touched much of the hopetech ones. I honestly keep forgetting they exist lol

[@PraxisAbraxis]

@@kobrraful You probably wouldn't want to use them for more 'serious' habs to do with crafting/combat themed habs. But for crew quarters they really are cozy. The only hab Ive been unhappy with was Taiyo.

[@kobrraful]

@@PraxisAbraxis ahhh, I also don't much care for Taiyo lol. I turned the Star Eagle into a class C monster, and using the Stroud habs for it. swapped out the Brig for a mess hall, have a workshop, control center and one of those 3x1 everything habs. I did also discover you can control ladder points with companionways

[@PraxisAbraxis]

@@kobrraful Sounds nice. There are for sure a lot of tricks to the ship building that you only pick up from tinkering.

[@ExplodingPiggy]

I have a ship called "Fluffy Bubbletrumps"......it has 16 railguns

[@ReospecMedia]

Hey man, can i get your save game file with this ship please 🙏🏻 im begging you ❤

[@guardian116]

Should do a video on the build

[@PraxisAbraxis]

That's an idea for sure

[@teratokomi8731]

Where's the hydroponics?

[@PraxisAbraxis]

haha, have only just started getting into Outpost building and stuff like that.

[@jeffghant4760]

This game forces you to build a ship? I'm not good at building things.

[@benjaminkoomen5993]

Nah, there's plenty of prebuilt ships you can buy/hijack and then upgrade individual mechanical parts w/o having to go full Lego (Ie, click on the engines to update the engines, etc). I mostly use the prebuilts myself, as I'm also not very good at building things. But I'm being inspired with the cool designs, so I may delve deeper soonish.

[@RED-WEAPON]

Too bad you can't fly it anywhere other than an empty void.

[@PraxisAbraxis]

I fly it all around. I can always think of something to do. I can hunt pirates and spacers for weapons and loot and reselling them being an arms trader. I have no where near exhausted story content that isnt simply procedural gen, and even those quests are a quick path to loot and a reward. Its all gamified childhood fantasies of what a sci-fi rpg game could be. Its not perfect, but I do find myself returning to my ship after a mission to store and place items in the hold and on board. I love landing on a planet and standing up from my cockpit to walk to the landing bay. It is a lot of fun. And in the future I can't even imagine how Starfield will mature.

Are you still mad it’s not on PlayStation

[@RED-WEAPON]

@@FP194 I don't own a PlayStation.
