It's funny that you mention this. I had a Starborn ship raid my base on Earth or at least attempt to. The strange part is that they landed close enough that when I did fast travel after taking care of them I had come back to Earth to put something away. Somehow, I had the urge to check the ship as it was still there, resulting in me scoring a free Starborn ship.

Is it just me, or is the captain actually Todd Howard?!?!

after you leave the becon, just take off the planet, fly to another planet in the SAME SYSTEM and then immediately return to your becon, thats all you need to do :-) enter ship and fly away...and yes it still works as i got my Vista III yesterday 29.June 2024

what annoys me with Bethesda, this game in particular, they patch more often the content or "glitches/exploits" that typically are considered more fun to players and ignore many of the issues that actually ruin the gameplay. its a single player non online game, let the players play how they want and stop ruining that with updates that dont necessarily improve the game just add dumb features that nobody gives af about like "new photo mode features" gtfo Bethesda.

You can also get this ship out in space! I believe it’s called something like the “Fixn’go” or “Repairn’Go”, something like that. It’s a green Vista III with the same stats and equipment!

Lie on options one with Captain then say you are the wrong person. Crew will attack you, clear them out then do the build outpost and go off planet routine. Loot will be clean on the ship on return.

You're waiting on the planet when they arrive, and the Captain tells you that you're late. Dude, you got here after me!

If you sit down and take the ship before going to the storage, then it won't be flagged "steal". Also, This is probably the same ship that you get when you randomly come across a smuggler in space. With that scenario, taking the package later results in a battle for those who were Supposed to get the package.

White and scarlet? That’s a brown ship my friend. Scarlet is a brilliant red.

I did this, but I didn’t put down a beacon. I just kept a mental picture of the ships landing zone by clicking “show me” to see location on the surface map. I quick jumped to a close planet then jumped back and there it was…minus the crew and captain. No beacon necessary.

Since the update I have only had one ship land on a planet while I am there and that has been on at least 20 planets and moons. This feature appears to have been killed by the update. Quite a blow as the thrill of stealing a ship from pirates etc was keeping me involved in the game. Not so sure why this was done. I have also taken a ship in the way mentioned here (a couple actually) but not sure if it will happen now.

I had a ship land on on another planet, not a Vista, same scenario captain thinks I'm the contact. I took the package and told him I wasn't the real pickup. They attacked, I cleared the crew and took the ship, didn't have to drop a beacon or fly to a different planet

I've gotten many of the UC and Freestar Vista 3's. I use the first option in the conversation with the captain then the next option I pick the "you got the wrong guy"...then the captain says: "Is that right....then we have a problem then don't we...because now you know too much" Then he goes into attack mode and so does the crew. You end up getting rid of the entire crew in self defence. Then I use the navigator consul on the ship and jump to the nearest system. I find myself having jumped in my own ship, so I immediately return to my ships landing site, get out, and fast travel back to the Vista III. Now the ship is cleaned up and the captains chair is working. I jump in, save is as my home ship, register it, and it's mine.

The first dialogue option also works. Note that the intended recipient of the package will probably come for it later - with a whole fleet of friends (at least that is what happened to me). Offering to return the goods probably doesn't work (I didn't even bother to try) - you will have to fight and kill him. I got an Autobahn, not a Vista (I was on a different planet) but the good news is that this has not changed in the May 2024 update.

Does anyone know if there was anything in the release notes for the latest updates that they would be removing random ships spawning on planet's or is this a bug?

I got this ship too. But I simply killed the entire crew when I entered it (after I talked to the captain, and he gave me "the stuff"). I then was able to sit in the pilot seat and take off. I registered the ship and now how the Freestar Vista III. I did NOT get a bounty (even though I am a Freestar Ranger myself and killing the entire crew).

No ships spawning on any moons now , after update..

I think I came across this situation but I massacred all on board & stole what I wanted. After it I believe it caused that every ship lands but its doors will not open. Do you how to resolve this issue as it’s ruining my game.

I think this has been known for quite some time now. It can also happen anywhere in the universe. Regardless of the dialog choice you make, you can still get the ship. The two lies end the exact same. The mistaken option the crew will turn hostile. The 4th one I have never done so am unsure if they turn hostile or not. Regardless leaving and returning will still bag you the ship. I will have to try the 4th option as I am now curious.

When was this tested random ship encounters for ships landing do not happen as often as it used to after the new update 1.10.30 March 19th please retest and let us know

I honestly wish you could clean a ship of all the random junk in this game, including the items that aren't collectable like buckets and ladders. or that things would remain as you place them. Even the ship you get for doing the Stroud-Eklund mission is trashy...and it's suppose to be brand new! At least they did fix the doubling items issue. Good find, Griff!

I just tried after update and no ship came down 😥

1:54 It's not weird. You saud yourself that the captain of the ship was expecting somone to turn up for a job; it stands to reason that he would have informed the crew why they are there; and so they too would also be expecting someone to turn up; and they also probably just assumed you was that person.

You could always build these in the ship builder too, but of coruse that takes credits.

Have they fixed the random glitches when stealing ships yet? I was constantly getting glitches and, once, even had the pirates base with the UC home port forced to load at the same time because i stole a ship and the game couldn't figure out where I was for some reason.

Nothing happened for me. I had a pirate ship land after awhile. It wasn't a Vista and it took off when i approached it. Anyone know any other ship

Captain gives me Todd Howard vibes.

Was trying today. Got 4 ships from various factions but no vista 3. 😢. Wanted the vista 3. Maybe havento be higher level. Dont know

What's the spacesuit for again in SF?

I got this encounter with an Autobahn 2 on jemison. At a farm just outside New Atlantis but I've not been able to get the crew to disappear yet. I thought I had to fight the actual owner of the package when he shows up first but they haven't arrived yet either. I got dismantled 20 times on my very first attempt at this before I paid them to leave & was unaware the ship could be stolen.

I got a green and white Vista 3 and rebuilt it in to a massive warship with over 8000lb cargo and still has over 80% mobility.

Do I need piloting skill 4 to be able to fly it since it is class C ship? Please help

Huh, neat. I'll have to snag that ship early on in the next universe. I'm already flying a Narwhal in the origin universe.

I wanted to try this, so after the game patched with the latest update, I went here, walked around for a good 20 to 30mins and the only ship that landed (after 30mins) was a starboard guardian

So, flying with the landing gear and the loading ramp in thediwn position. Can you bring them up?

just came across this...my question is, how did you figure out the steps to be able to take the ship? I can understand that there are mechanics in the game that have expected results; the example of not being able to put down an outpost beacon within 250m of a ship. How did you come to figure that flying away to another planet and landing there would effect conditions on Mercury? Thanks.

I just tried this and it doesn't work for my

'and hes given me 2500 credits, and thats going straight into the pockets' pockets have 21 billion dollars in them 😅😅😅😅

Will this spawn even without piloting rank 4?

it's probably that the "guy" the captain was looking for shows up after you leave, and gets rid of the crew "somehow" (IDK I don't even have the game)

Haven't had a single ship come in to land yet.

I landed on Mercury and a Crimson fleet Wight 2 (Class C) landed nearby. Cleared out the crew and took the ship. Bam! No Freestar for me womp womp

Hello, maybe someone encountered a bug when the fps drops after entering the inventory or the menu

I came across This but I didn’t know I could steal this ship 😳

I can’t get any random ships to land on any planet, is my game bugged?

Why bother with the beacon? Why not just land back at the ship landing site?

Not one random ship has landed on any planet I've been on after about 20 attempts. Though my game was buged but I see a lot of people having the same issue since the latest update. I hope Bethesda reverse this, it's one of the best parts of the game for me.

The valentine is my favorite 😈

Can you do this with starborn ships?

@ 6:40 in you say the ship is Scarlet, which I associate as a red. The ship looks brown. Which one of us is colorblind?

Can't get 1 single ship to land on Mercury.

This ship is level locked so the main reason you cant steal it is because of that.

For the life of me, i cant get one of theese to land. Ive had 100 ships landing noe, but never this one :S

As ever... it just works 😂

LoL i noticed open entrance when flying away whit that white/brown colored ship

I snagged a UC Vista 3 a couple weeks back.. I'll bolo for that FS model tho..

I'm guessing u gotta be like level 50 because I just get shitty ships sadly

It just works!

Even this won't make me re-install Starfield.

Ive had that ship a long time now.

Movement seems laggy in your videos for some reason. Good content though, thumbs up for that!

This trick works great. I was able to get both a Freestar and UC Vista III

Nope. Not one ship

So they've fix the ability to enter ships that landed??

What game is this? Been out of loop.for awhile..

Yeah, after I downloaded the beta update, not one random ship lands for me now. Hopefully they fix this, lots of people having the issue. Anybody having it should file a bug report.

Poor timing, this has just been removed as part of the new patch. random ships will no longer land on planets/Moons. No idea why.

That’s white and brown. I think you might be colorblind my friend😬

i just ended up fighting the crew and could take it

Not a single ship landed🤦🏾‍♂️

i landed about 100 times and only ship i saw was starborns... :/

Well it certainly does NOT work now. I had some PoS ship land. I took it over but it was hardly worth the gas nor the time .... nor this video !~

Yup subscribed

Looks likenthis was patched. Ship jeeps taking off before i can get to it.

Too bad you can’t steal the bounty hunter ships when you choose the wanted backstory thing

I had a similar encounter except the crew was all robots

You're not stealing the ship. It's clearly been abandoned.

I want to fly the Fortuna , but you can't even get to the cockpit without using the tcl command . I think it's just a howdy F you from bethesda putting that in game but not letting you take it and use it , instead we get ships with cramped quarters and ladders everywhere .

Not rare now I can tell you that:D

What is bro yapping about

4:23

It's not weird the crew is not freaked out about you because everyone assumes you're the contact, which you know five seconds later when you talk to the captain. Yuu did that Cinema Sins thing where you complain about something the game/movie explains or whatever five seconds later. Would the video have been 20s shorter without it? kek also, sexy, why are you never on screen?

Why is your game skipping every 2 seconds? The animations and camera slow down for a second and jump to normal speed.

tried this yesterday and no ship landed even though I moved to different places. Bugger should have done it before patch

God this game runs so slow it's atrocious. 30fps is horrid.

Cray

Funny... i've kept my xbox on updating off! I'm still playing the game on its original state. Yes... original, meaning i still have access to the vendor chests, ect!😂

"Fly" as in, enjoy a spacebox while you're fast traveling straight to the fun

Not repeatable, ran into this ship awhile ago. Went back after seeing this video and could not get the ship to spawn again after numerous attempts

Flying the ship is stretching it a bit. More like space jousting and mobile settlement. They could do away with outposts, wouldn't make a difference to me.

ITS ONLY A A GAME SO WHO ACHILY CARES OMG

Tryed it today 23rd mar not working

Actually you don't fly any ship in Starfield. You get in it and watch a takeoff cutscene, then spin around in a circle like an old arcade game, then watch more cutscenes over and over and over and wait on loading screen after loading screen after loadings screen then uninstall.

I got bored with that game even on hard... id pick fights just becouse...

So much waffling. Just get to the point.

Patch 1.10.31 and there are zero ships landing òn planets.

Does not work.

you lied to get that stuff than the bosses prolly killed crew

are you lagging? lol

this game has the same graphics as Fallout 3 just phatetic i won't even bother playing Starfield for Free
