Thank you very much good sir! Hosting a Discord server is the least I can do in return for all the incredible support you guys have shown.

[@kalonem5719]

This is a massive ship wow!! And hats off for using vanilla parts! I like how you kept your ship parts lore friendly! Amazing video!

[@WizeOldWizard]

It was a monumental build, and possibly the biggest ship I’ll ever build. I was starting to run out of habs to use without having repeats of them in various locations. Thanks for watching!

[@drshoots101]

I'm loving this ship! Like I said before the shape of this ship is really cool, the little nooks and crannies for small details. Love how the back half of the ship is thinner with the wings tapered down. It's given me some ideas to try! Oh and I've gotta have a go with that massive fortuna hab.

[@WizeOldWizard]

That hab will have a tremendous impact on the shape of your ship but it was a fun challenge to build around! Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

[@psycho479]

Insane peace of metal

[@WizeOldWizard]

Thank you! It chews through everything with ease and does so in style. With this ship, I feel absolutely no need to even build a home base. This is way more luxurious and comfortable with that Fortuna hab. Maybe I’ll take a shot at decorating it…

[@otissanders2624]

Wizard! Imma need you to figure out how to put these in creations like eagles’. But till then I’ll build it.

[@WizeOldWizard]

Otis, my man, I’mma need you to explain how in the actual fuck would I have the time for that ON TOP of these videos? I know how it works, you get into the CK and build the ship there, and then save the ship as an ESM. If this was my full-time job and main source of income, I absolutely would! But I have to use my time very wisely just to get these videos made. Now shut the fuck up and build it, ya crybaby!

[@otissanders2624]

***clutching my pearls**** 😮 I’ll build it but will NOT enjoy it!

[@shanelowe5278]

Wow, it's like you decided to build a new class of ship. That is no class C, that is more like a class T for Trouble. This will definitely be on my build list. It was just so freaking awesome to watch it in combat. You, as always, put so much effort into the hab layout which is why I always go back to your designs, they just fit RP so well. Great job as usual. 🤯

[@WizeOldWizard]

Hahaha I tossed around the idea of calling it class X, due to the DarkStar modules, but the reactors are TECHNICALLY still class C so…. Decided to make that clear so there was no confusion related to the Piloting skill. The main goal was to build around that Fortuna hab, so the shape was largely driven by that. I wanted the landing bay to be dead center on the landing pad, and everything else just sort of fell into place around that. I’m so happy to have mods, so much more is possible. I doubt they’ll get much larger than this but I can’t imagine going back to vanilla. Thanks for watching again!

[@dogboydoug79]

Outstanding work once again. I've been waiting for a build that uses the Fortuna hab. I'm currently enjoying the Kronos but I'm definitely building this today. I am a little dissapointed however that, this being a multi deck ship, you didn't use Magilja's elevator habs. Still a 10 out of 10.

[@WizeOldWizard]

Those elevators weren’t in the mod when I built it. Why go out of your way to express disappointment about something before considering how long a ship like this takes to develop? I started building it soon after the Fortuna Ship Habs were uploaded, and built the ship around that. Also, I tried using the Avontech elevator, but those suck. They add a loading screen to the inside of your ship, they look completely out of place, not to mention they’re bug-ridden. Maybe the bugs have been worked out but they still just stick out like a sore thumb next to the vanilla aesthetic. Thanks for watching?

[@BakedBeanGaming]

Aw man. The whack ship. This ship is actually pretty awesome, even if it is a little “whack”. This ship really has everything. Feels almost like a cruise ship with that big fortuna hab. Good job wizard!

[@WizeOldWizard]

The triumphant debut! It is quite different, but that is for a reason. I don’t expect everyone to fall in love with every build, so if it isn’t your cup-o-tea, that is totally fine. Thanks for watching another one!

[@Neognostic-pk5wu]

This vessel must be reaching the absolute limit of landable shipbuilding in Starfield at this point. Technically, huge vessels like the Vigilance (the closest to the concept of a "Dreadnought" in the SF universe) aren't technically able to land on planets and mods that have enabled players the use of and ability to land those monsters have inevitable glitching issues whilst landed. Perhaps the next step for the modding community is going to be a plethora of designs for a class of super-capital ships that aren't designed to land, but must be docked with in orbit remotely via a smaller craft. Such a vessel could only be built at some kind of custom starstation, instead of an outpost landing bay. Not sure if such a concept is even workable yet though, it's an ambitious task.

[@WizeOldWizard]

You hit the nail on the head, and that was exactly my goal with the Typhon; how far can I push the boundaries of ship-building as it pertains to ships that need to land on planets. I’ve also been saying what you mentioned for a long time! We need access to ships which cannot land and therefore require a ship closer to vanilla dimensions to use as a ‘shuttle’. That would be incredible. Thanks for watching!

[@jeremysanchez805]

That is one big beautiful ship

[@WizeOldWizard]

[@anderporascu5026]

Then probably best to not dedicate yourself to a build until you've completed all your Unity jumps that you'll do. Unless blueprinting is a thing then... Yeah. You have the know how though.

[@WizeOldWizard]

I’m not ‘dedicated’ to any of them, and the best builds will get re-built in my final universe. I was just making that statement to emphasize how much I like the ship.

[@WizeOldWizard]

Can’t wait!

[@aquaillol7925]

One of my main gripes with ships like this, is that when you land at akila you spawn INSIDE one of the habs, and cant run forward/back. youre forced to teleport back into the city, and before you could do that youd have to fast travel back into your ship and exit manually. someone needs to make a mod that MOVES your spawns at landing pads

[@WizeOldWizard]

Negative ghost rider. Because this landing bay faces rear and is exactly in the middle of the pad, and because the habs that are placed above you when you spawn are one full unit above you, I haven’t experienced that anywhere. Including Akila.

[@lillypoochin9]

This is amazing! Building this today!

Ah nice, I will have a go at building this on Xbox at some point.

[@WizeOldWizard]

Excellent! Not sure if you’ve watched the Kronos yet, but I pinned an Xbox mod list in the comments that contains suitable alternative mods on Xbox that can allow you to build ships like this. Just an FYI. Thanks for watching!

[@psyseraphim]

​@@WizeOldWizardyeah I actually managed to build the Kronos with no real issues to be fair. The only issue I will have with this one is needing to use decorative engines and weapons. Plus I'll have to wait for my next trip through the unity so I can drop some mods and reorganise.

Another great one, definitely going to figure out how to work this one into the fleet/RP. have you looked at the Trident Luxury Workshop and REV-8 hangar? Seems like it’d fit into the opulence of the Typhon with the Fortuna hab.

[@WizeOldWizard]

I have and I will absolutely use the hangar hab in a future build! That mod was not available when I built the Typhon. Thanks for watching!

[@lewis9668]

Something Similar in vanilla would be amazing

[@WizeOldWizard]

Closest vanilla build to this is the Basilisk II. The Typhon is 50m over than the vanilla size limit, and 18m too wide, meaning the proportion of this ship would be impossible to replicate in vanilla. The ship would be much too short to retain the height of the Typhon, and that would, in turn, make the central fuselage much wider visually. The width would be reduced in a way that would exactly match how the Basilisk was built, so at that point that’s basically the ship you’d end up with. If you haven’t seen that one, it’s been my most popular build by far and away. A modded version is coming soon too…

The DarkStar turrets are great. The vanilla ones are the same, still meh and not nearly as effective.

[@Babyboomer_59]

The only thing I would change in addition to add doors mod would be to add the steps and stairs mod thus eliminating ladders all together.

[@WizeOldWizard]

Disagree, I would choose Matilija elevators, but those weren’t in the mod when I built the ship.

[@Babyboomer_59]

@@WizeOldWizard I really like those stairs, I wasn't aware of the elevators, I'll have to check into them. Ladders suck unless you have the right boost on your jetpack and that being you don't have ladders aligned on top of each other.

[@WizeOldWizard]

@Babyboomer_59 for this specific ship, it would be tough to package stairs, ladders made the most sense. Getting habs around the Fortuna hab in a sensible way was a huge challenge.

[@Babyboomer_59]

@@WizeOldWizard Truth be told, I didn't stay to watch the whole video, I didn't know you have the Fortuna in it. I have to commend your video on one thing though and that is you very rarely used the word "Hum" if any at all, Most SF youtubers I listen to seem to use that word in every sentence and it just annoys the crap out of me so much that I leave the channel.

[@WizeOldWizard]

@Babyboomer_59 oh I use it plenty. I try hard not to but it happens.

[@syoung2333]

And maybe not right away and your a and some of your B Class ships but in the letter B ships and the C-Class ships you should have that option of switching from a cockpit to a full-blown Bridge

[@WizeOldWizard]

There is at least one mod out there that allows the use of as many cockpits/bridges you want, and I believe they all function correctly no matter which one you choose to use.

[@NightshadeDE]

The fortuna habs almost never seem to have crew in them which bothers me enough to not use them unfortunately but I like the overall design I might downscale it a bit if I build it myself

[@WizeOldWizard]

No kidding? That's actually good news to me, as I'm using that hab as a captain's quarters, and I've always wished that your crew would stay out of it unless it's your companion. It would be nice to be able to "assign" someone as like a bartender and maybe a guard or two, definitely wish I could assign guards to the brig offices. I'm thinking of how Fallout 4 worked, with the settler stations that you could assign them to. Change it as you will! My aim is primarily to inspire other builders so your specific choices are totally up to you. Thanks for watching!

[@syoung2333]

I'm still waiting for the mod that lets you sit in the captain's chair and your MPC pilots fly the ship. As well as perform simple combat maneuvers based on your level Cadillac Star Trek bridge command

[@WizeOldWizard]

There is a mod for that, it’s included in one or more of the mods that allow you to call your ship to land near to your location. It’s an autopilot feature, so it has nothing to do with any NPC crewmates, but still has the functionality you’re looking for.

[@syoung2333]

@WizeOldWizard thank you what's it called I'd like to check it out. Is it in the creations?

[@syoung2333]

@@WizeOldWizard when I have a huge ship with a lot of crew but I'm still the pilot I haven't see that in many if any of Syfy tropes or books that I've read and so that makes it kind of immersion breaking for me.

[@WizeOldWizard]

There is one that’s literally called ‘Call Your Ship’ but that’s the only name I can remember specifically, not sure if that’s the one with autopilot or not, like I said there are more than one. I only have a few mods from Creations, and I’m on PC so I do my mod searching on Nexus. Why wouldn’t an AI autopilot make sense when humans in the Starfield universe have figured out faster than light travel? I think that seems entirely feasible.

No.

I have a playlist of Vanilla-only builds if you don’t want to use mods. Though I do recommend using mods, they dramatically increase the possibilities.

[@Cmdr_DarkNite]

Looks like an ice cream sandwich. Not a fan of how blocky ships end up looking in Starfield.

[@WizeOldWizard]

This ship was built around the Fortuna hab, which is 6x3x3. It has one single point of entry, at the front center of the module, and the use of that hab is what drove the shape. Sure, it isn’t sleek, but not every ship needs to be. This one is an exercise in brutalism and impact. I do not approach all of my builds in the same way. Check out my Peregrine, Aetos, Aegis, or Basilisk builds if you’re looking for a sleeker design.

[@MrPanther1986]

I'm trying to build this ship and I'm going into the Xbox mods and the only ones I'm having trouble finding are the no limits categories, engines so forth. I did find engines rebalanced which adds engines with 180 speed will that work?

[@WizeOldWizard]

I don't own an Xbox, so I can't check mods myself. The best advice I can give you is to check the pinned comment on my Kronos build guide. That contains a list of Xbox mods that serve as suitable alternatives to the ones that are only available on PC. The mods required for this ship are identical to the ones needed for Kronos, with the addition of the Fortuna Ship Habs mod. The mods that I use to remove the maximum power limits require Starfield Script Extender, which is not compatible with the Xbox version of the game.
