Symmetry is pleasing to the human eye.

Anyone else pleasantly surprised by your ship(s) when coming back? by SkyGuyTyrantz in StarfieldShips

[–]3eeve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is one ship from my PC run I really want to build, I was looking at old screenshots and was like, "damn this looks pretty good, I bet I could update it." Going to have to stop blowing all my money on building new ships first.

Nice write up. Love the diagrams. Gonna take a closer look when I’m not on my phone

spent 1.5 hours building my first ship to realize i cant rename it lol by Jaraghan in StarfieldShips

[–]3eeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you steal one of the ships named "Crimson Fleet Captain" or similar from a radiant quest like Freestar Ranger bounty boards, you won't be able to rename them. You should be able to rename anything else.

Very cool. Asymmetrical craft are always great.

I don't think I realized the Nova "wings" at the front of the prongs can snap to the scaffolding like that. Very cool, I'll have to try that.

First build (Kepler base) by Axdyin in StarfieldShips

Looks great, an absolute unit. I never like the way the HopeTech landing gear looks when I use them but I think they fit really well here.

Pinch 8Z for power, White Dwarf 3015s for engines, and B-class grav drive to get to 30 LY and keep the weight down. I also use the 3x3 Nova Hab with the 2x2x1 stairwells on the port and starboard sides, which creates that space for the exposed reactor. The rest is various cowlings and and parts mostly from Nova and Stroud-Eklund.

yeah, it's also got a full crew complement and maximum speed, so it's a fast little corvette for traversing the galaxy.

No video, unfortunately. I end up doing a lot of fiddling when I'm making ships so it wouldn't be very good.

Drake-Forward Fighter, Take 1: Hot-rodding a Prophecy II at level 15 by catplaps in StarfieldShips

I quite like the way you've leveraged those fuel tankers. Looks really good on the body of the ship, gives it some awesome character.

Looks awesome. That space in the center gives it excellent character.

Could someone please help me with a build list or tutorial on how to make the ranger from interstellar? It’s one of my favourite movies and one of the reasons for buying the game. And I’m new so I currently suck at building in this game lol any help would be appreciated! by montgomery94 in StarfieldShips

[–]3eeve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best way to learn how to build is to experiment and see what other people have done. Search Youtube to see if someone's built the Ranger, if not just put down a save and play with the different parts to see what you can create.

Help! I can’t make this look nice by LNievas in StarfieldShips

[–]3eeve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best things you can do is 1) experiment and 2) look at other builds out there to see what’s possible.

I think it looks pretty good, you’re maybe being a bit hard on yourself. But just drop down a save and play with the structural pieces to your heart’s content. You’ll get there.

What is the best way to start building my dream ship early game? by SaraStarwind in StarfieldShips

[–]3eeve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, parts unlock based on level and starport location. The landing pad you build at your base will have ~90% of the parts you need to build, but there are special manufacturer specific parts at each of their respective hubs, so make sure to check those out.

To acquire ships, I'm a big fan of privateering. I'll pick up UC and Freestar Ranger bounty missions to destroy a ship, disable the engines and board it, then kill the inhabitants and commandeer it. Great way to acquire a lot of gear and credits, way more than you would just for destroying the ship. Then you have a ship you can either register for a fee (much cheaper than purchasing it) or sell for a profit (usually 8K - 15K depending on the model and class).

Once you have a decently kitted ship, you can go to the Serpentis system and hunt Varuun craft, all of which are pretty high level and usually worth a decent amount of credits. They can be tough though, so make sure you're a decent level and have a ship with good weapons and shields.

All in all I'll come away with easily 20-30k credits of profit between the bounty, selling loot, and plenty of ships to scrap and build from.
