Hit boost until red... turn off engines completely until you hear click then hold thrust... Your welcome max speed 1164 indefinitely... Shhh might patch because all the fun stuff usually does...

You're welcome! Glad you liked it, and thanks for the compliments :)

You're welcome! And yeah, the conversations Sam Coe has with Cora get annoying pretty fast. I haven't found anyone else with rank 4 in Piloting though, so I don't know any alternatives to using Sam for the same speed boost.

I'd like to eject Cora out of the airlock. If I hear that stupid skyscraper joke one more time....

agreed!

There is a white dwarf 30. And for some reason u don't need any character upgrades either unlike the white dwarf 15 wich requires a ship design of 2

Thanks for confirming that! Still need to go get Amelia for my crew. And another advantage would be no Cora - I'm getting really tired of hearing the same Sam/Cora banter all the time.

You're welcome! Payloads and Aneutronics are great skills to have too! For me, Aneutronics is still so far away, as I haven't put many skill points in the Science skill tree yet. I'm mostly maxing out skills on the Tech skills first.

Yeah, my main ship is also a Class C ship. I'm also using the same SAL-6830 engines on that one, so it's still 94 mobility with 10K+ cargo and having all of the habs I want. It has tons of hull/health and the best Class C shield as well, so it can just tank everything. But I'm at a point where that actually makes space combat too easy, even on 'very hard' difficulty. Which is why I switch to the Class A Fighter ship from this video if I want more fun and a challenge. In that ship, you have to be fast and try not to get hit to win space combat, as it's got like half the hull and shield health of my main Class C ship.

Thanks for the sub and the compliment, made my day! More subs to follow, I hope!

Glad you liked it!

Thanks! And you can recruit Amelia Earhart and assign her to your ship, she'll give you the same speed boost!

Thanks! I'm glad that it shows, because it took me almost a week of work to make this video! Lots of research, building and testing ships, recording, editing, narration. Also still had to level up ingame to unlock the Engine Systems skill, which took a while too. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! And I'll look into doing a video on ship weapons as well! It's a big topic though, and there's still a lot I have to try out/test if I want to do a video on it with the same amount of detail as this one.

Think Angry Turtle has done some ship weapon vids

Thank you! More to come!

Awesome, thanks for the info! Seems like 1122 is just the highest possible boost speed for the White Dwarf 3015. I also tried with 1, 2, and 4 engines and shaving the mass down as far as possible. Didn't record the exact mass though, and it might've been possible to go slightly lighter than what I got if I went all around the galaxy to find all of the lightest parts. I might do some more tests later - maybe I can figure out a formula with more data points.

Thank you! :)

Thanks! Will probably do a video on weapons later. Have already been looking into it but it's a pretty big topic. If you want a quick tip; try out the Vanguard Obliterater Autoprojectors. I'm using those on the ship in this video, and you can see me using them at the very start of the video. You'll need to start the UC Vanguard questline to unlock them. They've got a high fire rate, and do good damage to both shields and hull, so you don't have to switch between weapons as much. Since they only use 2 power, you can use 6 of those on your ship, so that's 6x the damage stat you see in the ship builder. And it also means you'll see 6 beams firing when shooting your enemies, which is very satisfying :)

About the engines, it's counterintuitive to some, as higher class engines are bigger, higher level, have a higher thrust stat, but are slower. But it does make sense when you know the bigger engines are also heavier and more suited for cargo hauling. I was actually thinking of including an example like you just did in the video, but couldn't think of a comparison between two specific vehicles that'd make sense to everyone. The Piloting skill does give a speed bonus when using any other crew members that have it though, like the propulsion specialist I used in the video. But Sam Coe giving an extra high hidden bonus might be true. Just can't compare as I don't know anyone else with level 4 in Piloting. Edit: this site; inara.cz/starfield/skill/4/, which I"ve found to be a good source for Starfield, says it's a 15% speed boost for crew with rank/level 1 in piloting, and 30% more for crew with rank 2 or higher. Will try to confirm this and find another person to put on my crew with rank 2 or higher in piloting.

Thanks! And you can get that view of your ship on Xbox by holding the 'view' button (it's the button left of the menu button, with an icon of two rectangles on it).

@@GuidosGaming Thanks for the tip, but I'm on PC.

@@nathangregory_ Hmm, Google says to hold down mouse 3 (click your scroll button). Have you tried that?

@@GuidosGaming I guess it depends on how you have your keybinding set up. I found a way, but it's not as reliable. While you're flying, go into photo mode and change the FOV from there.

​@@nathangregory_ On PC, it should just be in the settings. First person and third person FOV are separate settings. If you really can't find it, I'm confident the Skyrim/fallout console command still works, for example: FOV 90 90 saveini You have to use two numbers. For fallout the first is your pipboy gov and the second is the first person FOV. In Skyrim, it's 3rd person then 1st person. I assume Starfield will be the same as Skyrim in that regard. The command will not work unless you provide two numbers.

But the ship sucks tho

Oh no best fighter ...

Yeah, I've heard about that. But since you'll have to complete the game multiple times to get it, it's not an option to most. By the way, are those speeds with or without ranking up the Engine Systems skill for 20% more speed?

@@GuidosGaming sorry full rank, I forgot to add that.

@@kalancosta7650no they’re not, when you boost you go invisible and avoid all incoming attacks, and it’s so easy to get behind the enemy.

Try finding Emilia Earhart instead. She's got Rank 2 in piloting, but I've read some people claim she gives the same 30% speed boost as Sam. Haven't tried this myself yet though.

45 power with crew 30ly shields 2610 661 cargo with 160 shielded 6 vanguard obliterators 4 PB-30 and 2 Firebolt suppressors 100 % mobility 10 crew hull 1234

Interesting, so that'd be a higher boost speed. Will check it out!

Sounds like a great ship by the way! I'm also using the Vanguard Obliteraters on the ship in the video. Wanted to keep the entire ship Class A, and I'm pretty sure the Obliteraters have the highest combined (shield+hull) DPS of any Class A weapon. I'm still looking into building a fast ship, so class A engines, but with a class C reactor, so I can use better shields for instance, have more hull, and have more power available so I don't have to switch power between weapons.

​@@GuidosGaming In that case your best bet is b class. You have reactor with just 1 less than best C , at 39 power and you have 28T shield with 1500 shield :)

@GuidosGaming the best class B reactor has 1 less power than a class C ... I've done it both ways with a Class C and B... I keep Class C Ecliptic Claymore with 11 000 cargo 99% mobility for the big stuff . CLASS B for super fast speeds for dog fighting... the 72 level starborn ships can't catch me if they tried

No!

Nope, the White Dwarf 3030 has a cruising speed of 150 - thrust and mass has nothing to do with the cruising speed in this game somehow. The top boost speed of the White Dwarf 3030 is also lower than the 3015, I've tested this and if I recall correctly it was somewhere in the low 900's.

@@GuidosGaming any chance you know what are the fastest B class engines are for cruising speed?

For cruising speed, all class B engines have a max cruising speed of 140 - that's without a speed bonus from the Engine Systems skill or companions.

Yeah, but a lower cruising speed of 150 (if you don't have any other speed bonuses), so it's not as fast as the White Dwarf 3015. It might not make sense, but those are the mechanics of the game.

There are a handful of ship components like this, they are equal to or better than comparable components in one specific way, but they sacrifice other stats as a result. Compare the a couple of specific A class reactors: Tokomak X-120S: 28 power, 30 Mass, 1.5 Repair Rate, 30 Health, 480 Hull, Req. Level 12, Starship Design 4 Tokomak X-300: 29 power, 45 Mass, 2.25 Repair Rate, 45 Health, 820 Hull, Req. Level 51, Starship Design 4 At first glance, losing only 1 power while saving 15 mass seems like a great deal. But then you notice the slower repair, lower health and significantly lower hull. Both are viable options, you just have to keep in mind what you're going to do with your ship when building it...
