The Valkyrie- Built for Speed Starfield Interceptor. Minimal Parts, Limited Stops.

[@TairnKA]

Seeing the four engines reminded me of an expression my friends and I had; "Enough is not enough, too much is just right" ;-)

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Go big or Go Home, right?

[@SethRumsey]

I really appreciate presentation I’m new at the game and I’m 70 years young. I’m definitely going to do this build. Thank you again ✌️

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Thank you for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the build.

[@federalfarmer8174]

Excellent video! Your production quality is great and you explain things so well. Please make more!

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Thanks for the feedback. I am working on another build now. Hopefully I can get it out by Sunday evening.

[@jdholbrook33]

Well done on the build and the detailed build guide. Easy to follow and I like the ship! My favorite cockpit. I set it up for ship take over duty. About to test it now. Thanks! Quick word about weapons. Particle beam such as the PB-175 Helion Beam. The power of the beam is not determined by the pips in the energy allocation area. The damage is constant. The pips determine the recharge rate. If you use the Auto Helion Beam then you have about 30 to 40 shots before you need recharge, the regular Helion Beam recharge between each shot and that makes them slower firing. This means the Helion Beams can fire continuously but at a slower rate where as the Auto Helion Beams can fire faster but only for a limited time. Also, putting 12 pips in the energy allocation for any type of Particle beam is wasting pips. More than 8 or 9 pips doesn't gain you anything but maybe 1 - 2% faster reload speed. Not even noticeable. Save those pips for shield, EM or Engine power. Easy to test this. Install an Auto Helion Beam and a normal Helion Beam. Put 1 pip in each one. Both fire with full damage but the auto will fire faster until the "magazine" is depleted. The normal Helion Beam will fire very slowly. Then, time the pulses from the Helion beam at 3, 6, 9 and 12 pips. 8 to 9 is the sweet spot. Same applies to the recharge rate of the Auto Helion Beam.

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Great point about the weapons. I definitely have to do some hard core math to work out if the PB's or the PBOs are better in the longer run. All I know is the PB's rarely have let me down. Let me know how your testing goes. I can definitely get some more speed out of mine if I had Sam on my crew, and my engine systems skill is only rank 2.

[@TimberWolfCLT]

Excellent job! I love your presentation method, clean, crisp and very easy to follow. I'm going to search out any others you've made and look forward to new ones.

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Thanks for the feedback! I have a new video coming out soon.

[@Engbob123]

Yes. Been away for work and come back to another great build. Thank you I love your part breakdowns, keep up the great work :)

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.

[@MrMetonicus]

You are like the Bob Ross of Starfield Shipbuilding. Put some meditation music on and you'll have a marketable sleeping aid. "Happy Deimos wings."

[@TeamScorpioRI]

I can double dip the marketing for the channel. Starfield Ship Builds and Sleep ASMR! lol. Brilliant Idea!

[@Arkangel88Mr]

Nice looking boat. Great for hunting, fast enough to leave if things get too hot. But I would double up on particle weapons and leave the EM ones unpowered until needed.

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Thanks for the feedback. More particle weapons is definitely and option.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Dropping to B class for the reactor and grav drive would shave a lot of weight off. 58 for the reactor alone and 64 for the grav drive. If 122 isn't enough savings you could swap the fuel tank for a pair of M50's(500 fuel for 50 mass compared to 650 fuel for 60 mass). Technically as long as you hit 28 light years you can travel to any star on the map, so that's the magic number for adding cargo afterward. If you wanted to make up for any lost crew capacity 4 Hunter Mag missiles with even 1 pip of power is fine: they have 10 shots in their magazine.

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Good recommendations. This is an older build. If you want to see an updated speed build, my Raiju build makes this one look slow (Though it is a modded build).

[@GSE52]

Very nice build. Reminds me of my 'Icarus Interceptor. Only I kept mine to Class B (lighter weight engineering section). Long range Particle Beam weapons, thrust away from battle, quick thruster turn to fly backwards, and open fire. Class B weapons are plenty even on higher difficulties. Keep up the good work. Thank you for sharing. Look forward to more.

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Thanks for the feedback. I am going to play around with some class B parts on upcoming builds (though my next one is a class C style battleship for a friend).

[@gavinpowell4607]

Fair play to you, that you can still play this game and get enjoyment out of it. 👍

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Thanks. I have not hit that wall yet. Though if Sarah tells me one more time that I have to sell some stuff as I am carrying too much, I just may scream. I get enough nagging from my real wife.

[@DreddPirateRoberts]

I especially like your choice of weapons. I, too, prefer the slower firing weapons, because I get three or four (depending on their max power) of them they'll fire hella fast and never get tired if I fully power them. And just recently switched out the stock EM weapons on the Star Eagle for the ones you chose. (They were nice, but 6 max power a piece didn't afford me much flexibility.)

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Thanks! My thought is the slower rate of fire allows me to control the shots a little more. On a full out fighter style build, where I am just trying to destroy everything, then the faster rate is better. But on this, where I want to just get through the shields, I seem to have more luck with these.

[@alwaysmymazda]

alot of those parts are available from the outpost builder, where most people end up building ships.

[@PatJWilliams]

Great build video. Step by step, we'll paced and narrated. We'll done

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Glad you liked it!

[@GothicFarmsGaming]

I love C class ships with the 3015 engines, I'm flying one myself.

[@TeamScorpioRI]

They are awesome engines for sure. Perfect for the smaller builds.

[@JKMediaCorp]

I don't play the game... I would love to do "JUST" shipbuilding. However, it seems like it is Volii.... and not Vol 2... there would be a space and those "i" would always be capitalized if they were Roman numerals.

[@Arkangel88Mr]

So….just do shipbuilding. Currently playing, and completely ignoring the main story, doing what I want to do instead.

[@TeamScorpioRI]

I do the same. I try to ignore the main story as much as I can. I also avoid hitting Constellation immediately in NG+... Just to avoid Sarah

[@DreddPirateRoberts]

Awesome build, and an awesome video! Though most people who do build videos go to Neon to go to the Stroud-Eklund showroom and/or the Taiyo location in Ryujin Tower, you're the first person I've seen who just went to the ship technician. PS: "Vol 2" *Volii Those aren't Roman numerals. If they were it would read "Vol II," or "Vol-II."

[@TeamScorpioRI]

You could go inside and hit the showroom, but I figured the tech doesn't get enough love... and yeah, I now know it's Volii. From when I started the game I saw it from the star map, which is all cap. My brain just thought "who puts two "i" 's at the end of the word and interpreted it as Vol II. I corrected it in my next video.

[@DreddPirateRoberts]

@@TeamScorpioRI I hear ya. Speaking of ship technicians, how funny is it that the ship tech on Mars is dressed to look like Buzz Lightyear? LOL And yeah, Roman numerals _are_ used pretty generously on the star map. Would be really swell if BGS gave us a search function for the damned thing.

[@TeamScorpioRI]

@@DreddPirateRoberts I would love a search for the star map. That would make life easier. Maybe only be able to search planets/systems you have already visited. Even that would help.

[@arnone1862]

I think Volii is pronounced "voh-lie", as if it were Volus but plural

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Yeah.. I am realizing that now. I saw it originally from the star map where everything is in capital letters. My brain sees "II" and just assume 2, not ii. Lol

[@gregphipps7082]

I need more ship slots for all these builds 🤣🤣

[@TeamScorpioRI]

There is a mod you can add that ups your ship spots. I can't remember how many spots it adds, but definitely worth it if you are a ship collector

[@gregphipps7082]

Sadly, I’m on console

[@kasper_429]

Love this! I've been looking for inspiration for building a smaller ship with that bridge, and I think I'm gonna use yours as a template. Only things I would do differently are to add a second fuel tank in the spot where you put the grav drive (I know it most likely doesn't need it, but I like things like the fuel tanks to be symmetrical, lol), then put the grav drive where you put the reactor, and place the reactor behind the grav drive. It would fill in that gap between the engines nicely, and give you a nice view of the reactor if you fly in 3rd person. Just a heads-up, you need to add Starship Design level/rank 4 to the requirements in the description, since you can't have those engines or the reactor without it. Lol. Also, it's the UC Vanguard quest line you need to have done (at least until after the mission "Grunt Work") to have the Vanguard ship parts and weapons, not the SysDef.

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll add those to the description. The SysDef quest line I guess would technically be the Crimson Fleet questline? I always started that line by going through the Vanguard, but its different from the main Vanguad quests (terrormorphs).. so I always referred that as the SysDef quests (since that is who you are working for).

[@kasper_429]

@@TeamScorpioRI Yeah, the SysDef quest line is the Crimson Fleet quest line. If you're like me, you end up betraying SysDef so you have access to The Key and Crimson fleet items, so I just call it the Crimson Fleet quest line, lol. The Vanguard/Terrormorph quest line is the one you get the exclusive ship parts from (like the shield you used), which is/are only available after completing the "Grunt Work" mission in the Vanguard quest line. You also get some of, if not the best A class particle beam weapons in the game, the Vanguard Obliterators.

[@TeamScorpioRI]

@@kasper_429 I usually side with SysDef. I find it weird that when you side with the CF, really nothing happens. Like the UC is unbothered that you just blew up their #1 ship. Lol... that being said, the CF characters are some of the best written ones in the game. It really is a great quest line.

[@kasper_429]

@@TeamScorpioRI Yeah true, it is weird that the UC are unbothered by your presence after you betrayed them. I agree, that quest line, and the Vanguard quest line are probably the best-written ones in the game. Also, people love to argue that "You can't fight anyone in space because the CF ships don't attack you anymore", but just go to a random system and you'll no-doubt find either Ecliptic, Spacer, or Va-Ruun Zealot ships already there. There's plenty of space dogfighting to be had, even if you do side with the Fleet.

[@TeamScorpioRI]

@@kasper_429 VaRuun ships are my favorite to target. Head to Serpentis and just keep jumping from planet to planet. Plenty to fight there.

[@seanjenkinson9414]

They still not fixed Vasco outside the ship then. lol

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Probably in an upcoming patch

[@Chris-wu2hc]

Cool build, but there is no way you need that much fuel for such a light ship and it’s just wasted mass. With such low maneuvering thrust you really need to make the most of it. Grav drive is probably overkill too.

[@TeamScorpioRI]

The fuel and grav drive can definitely be swapped out. Even if you wanted to stay class C for the jump range, there are lighter options than the J52 Gamma Grav Drive. For fuel, surprisingly the 900t is fairly efficient with the weight/fuel ratio, but if you don't need that much fuel (and don't mind multiple jumps to those high end systems, then there are lighter options.

[@thedapperscrapper3451]

Volii is pronounced as VO-Lie, you can hear the correct pronunciation if you visit Hotel Volii in the core and talk to the woman who runs it.

[@OldManGamer65]

Good job, big improvement from your first video. Looks like OBS is working for you

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Thanks! It seems to be. Still learning the little tricks to record more effectively. Hopefully each one will get a little better (next step is looking at a better editing software)

[@johnlheneghan1630]

I have been using it for a year now, easy to learn. Also if you want to create intros and such there videoproc is very good. They have tutorials all over YT.

[@johnlheneghan1630]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKmvd4h_nbukiZYsi=hxM2UpFuueVCsm3I

[@TeamScorpioRI]

I'll check it out. Thanks for the info

[@JohnnyHughes1]

My only comment is.. your bridge has 8 crew, using a control station for your habit gets you nothing since 8 crew is the max you.can.assign. I would substitute a living quarters so there are beds and amenities.dor.the crew. Otherwise great build.

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Nah!! Let the crew work! Beds and amenities are for the weak! lol... JK. Good point on the crew. You can use whatever hab you want in there. Even a 1x1 could work.

[@vanbuda_7]

Petty you make on PC, i play on Xbox and the parts can manager to work, this One and your last video... But keep up the Nice work

[@jimjab3631]

Nice build and ty for making it. IMHO that music has to go, it dumps the value into teeniebopper land. At minimum keep it very low throughout, not blast after you stop talking. As usual there are others that like it and thats fine. But could not watch without waking the house up or wig-wag the volume

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Thanks for the feedback. I am still playing with the music levels on videos. I hate dead air, but you do have a point with the volume changing. I'll work on that for the next one.

[@MustangTC]

Everyone is different but I liked the music. Felt right for the theme of the ship amd is unique to most ship build vids I've watched. Good work!

[@Ridingharleys]

My fighters have a crusing speed at 234 with a boost speed of 1167.

[@jimjab3631]

Mine are 237 and 1175, but all I have is a cockpit, fuel tank and engine. Balance is important

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Nice! How did you get the speed that high? Less mass?

[@GothicFarmsGaming]

Probably Sam Coe

[@capitankamote]

too slow. my improved razorleaf goes 280 and hits 1k on boost.

[@TeamScorpioRI]

Thanks for the feedback. You can definitely make this faster. I don't have Sam on my crew, who would give a good boost with his skills.

[@JohnnyHughes1]

What engines are you using to get that 280 speed. I don't think one should count bonuses and crew enhancements for speed and cargo comparisons. You can use them, but really just optimize the build for the components and let the user decide their own bonuses later.

[@capitankamote]

4x white dwarf 3015s
