Captains! I forgot to mention: If you haven't built the Vulcan and would prefer to just build the Krakatoa from the start, you can now skip the part gathering phases thanks to the Darkstar Astrodynamics mod. You'll still need to follow the requirements of the Vulcan build, but you can save some credits by completing your entire build at the DarkStar Terminus. Vulcan build start point: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hp6Xjdh0vMClmKM.htmlsi=VaWzwBoCm1i2FpwP&t=1075 Once you have that built, without leaving the builder, come back to the start of this build and make the changes that I made. XBOX PLAYERS: There does not appear to be a mod available to you that lets you increase equipped weapons. Instead, use the same weapons as the Omen (6x Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojectors, 3x Exterminator 95MeV Auto Helion Beams, and 6x Vanguard Hellfire Autocannons) and instead of using DarkStar's class B shield, use the class C shield that requires 12 power. Doing this will allow you to fully power your 5 primary systems completely, and whatever you have leftover from crew and skills can just be dedicated to your grav drive. I know your offensive capability will be slightly reduced, but at least you can trade that for extra defense. Why do I use those weapons? Very useful complete weapon performance spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dud8L8FQwQ8IpsJnjFyE4vgoQm1wrlHRVtoyY8L8bR4/edit?gid=1282393#gid=1282393 Thanks for watching!

Dude it's amazing. Great work as always

Another great build. Looks wicked too.

These new ships are great and I'll probably build this one, but, im still rocking the orginal basilsk and I absolutely love that ship. I appreciate all the guides brother.

Fine made! I'll give it a try

Wizard new video:-) Just wached the intro.. Will save rest for tomorrow.. First modded build...Cant wait to see .. Just seen mod today, that lets you pick where to put ladders and doors.. Will make building soo mutch better... Ship looks great , cant wait to see how you build it..

Love all your ship builds and have used a few as inspiration for my own ships and since you mentioned that you plan on getting the Place Doors Yourself just wanted to let you know that I had to put in a shutter and then place the port hole on top in order to get the interior window that you have on many of your builds.

Man, this ship is crazy awesome! Also, many older ships, from Ancient Egypt up until the early 20th century had devices similar to the "battering ram" part you have and they were just called "rams" or "rostra" in Roman times. In fact, in the original War of the Worlds book by H. G. Wells, three tripods were destroyed by an Ironclad Torpedo Ram by the name of HMS Thunderchild which torpedoed 2 of the tripods that entered the water in pursuit of the refugee ship & then used the ram to take out the third after sustaining fatal damage from the tripods' heat rays. So long story short, your ship is upholding a 3000 year old shipbuilding tradition. Also, IMO stuff like the expanded flips & place doors mods should have been in the base game from the start....

Love the ship She's a tank! I am too in favor of submerged or hidden windows like in the back. And the core, cool stuff. I try to incorporate that into my builds, lately I haven't been just due to the type of build and utilizing space inside the ship. Again awesome ship man.

As an idea. Have you considered making an ultra-heavy ship, that’s essentially just a mobile miniature space station? And having all the weapons be turrets so you can leave it sitting in one spot while you walk around, maybe peer out of some windows. I worked out that (with perks) the highest mass you can get while still grav jumping to any system is 9,274.

Weapon power and count limit I don’t believe is available. A version on size limit is available but parts flipping is still limited to certain parts not the majority.

Jeez. Great ship!! I probably won’t be building it because I don’t like to mess around with mods. Looks great tho!

Darkstar Astrodynamics is amazing!!

damn the cozy voice... oh boy oh boy oh boy

Speed+firepower= O m g. But if you put more guns on it. No need for speed! Again my lord you have made a ship that people only dream of. Thank you again for sharing your talents.

Another sea of red is dead LOL -Wow - I see the mod is available for PC. I need to see about the others. Awesome ship again man.

Hell yeah, Wiz

Mr. @WizeOldWizard, good to see you back at it. Been awhile since I've done any builds myself (Been playing other games and just recently jumped back into SF). Nice job here broski :)

Awesome build wizard like the armillary viewpoints... i have used mods to upgrade the baselisk you designed, also there is a simple mod which drops all engin power requirement to 1 which makes for cool looking destroyer class ships.

There are (currently) two items not available at the Terminus: the vanilla Comspike and Conduction Grid which you can get on the Key. I assume this is the case because the Dark Star mod can't know if you have access to the Key or not. It makes sense that if you don't have that access, you should not be able to get them via the Terminus either. So that is one extra shopping stop before you start building. But still an enormous improvement over having to shop all over the galaxy as before. 🙂 I finally built this monster today based on the Vulcan, it just took some time to get the different mods into the right loading order so that it could work.

My Vulcan barely built, I don't have time to enjoy it that a new even more incredible version comes out of nowhere from the Wize Factory, come'on man, let us breathe!!! 😂

The place doors yourself mod has been updated and is in the creation club, not uploaded to nexus yet as of today.

You have that shit lined up??? Damn sick ship again bro!

Nice ship! I am working on a capital ship myself using the Matilija Aerospace mod. I wish we had a PvP ship battle mod. I'd love to do a "content creator battle royal" with all of our ships. We could do a modded round, and a vanilla round. It would be fun.

another awesome build Wiz....love the Darkstar Mod (upgraded all your designs with the parts) make an awesome ship unstoppable. Krakatoa on my list soon as there are suitable mods for xbox. Cant wait for what's next. Keep em coming.

So let's go shopping haha

Looks amazing. Not all those mods are available yet..for those of us on Xbox

Nice build, could you possibly do a starvival build ? Having fun with the mod and trying to maximize my ship. Would like to see you take on it. Thanks

i use darkstar parts whenever i build the basilisk as well as the "glowing ship parts" mod and the avontech parts mod, the thing shreds even the legendary ships in seconds

Great video again, thanks! Dark star is hands down favourite mod. Love the cloaking module and weapons too, especially the torpedoes

Is there a good set up on the Vulcan for the 95 exterminators? I cant seem to find a good layout for them.

Salutations Captain Wizard ! I am an xbox player. So far I have built the Basilisk and Vulcan using your excellent ship build guides - thankyou and keep up the great work, very much appreciated. Since the Creations update dropped I have downloaded Dark Star's Astrodymamics mod [awesome piece of work] and wanted to update the Vulcan as per your Krakatoa guide. I have managed to get around the max ship modules issue with the Xbox Creations Ship Builder Tweaks mod and have updated the Vulcan accordingly re addition of cargo, windows and the replacement of the connecting tunnel link with the second viewable internal feature. Not sure when the left hand side hatch on the second deck was replaced with the ugly fridge malarkey stuff but it was definately there when I first built the Vulcan prior to the Creations update. I am aware that I will need the Ship Module Snap (and Flip) Expansion mod to complete the 'battering ram' feature at the front of the ship, seems weird that the Skeg B module does not have an attach point on the very front end of the Skeg in the vanilla game so that the Skeg C module can be attached directly to it. I assume that the Ship Module Snap (and Flip) Expansion mod provides extra snap points on various modules ? Anyway I think that there is at least one possible candidate for the Ship Module Snap (and Flip) Expansion mod available on Xbox Creations but I am not entirely certain right now. Would you - or anyone - know the name of Xbox Creations mod that will enable us Xbox users to build the 'battering ram' feature as depicted in your video. Also one last question - do you know if the vanilla Comspike & Conduction Grid modules benefits stack with Dark Star's equivalents or were you just adding Dark Star's Comspike & Conduction Grid modules for aesthetic reasons. Thanks again Wizard for your fantastic ship build videos, when I have finished with the Vulcan updates I intend to find a nice gas giant moon that I can build an outpost home base on - and move Lin & Heller from the frozen wastes of the Bessel outpost that they are currently residing on.

If you use Place Doors Anywhere you can keep the cross hatch

Dang it. I was excited to build it..but most of those mods dont seem to be on console yet.

I believe there is a mod that allows you to control the placement and types of hatches. But you may have to be careful using it since it defaults to "no hatch" at every point. I assume it’s available for both pc and Xbox.

Hay I noticed there is extra hook points like on the daimos hull A and the daimos skeg. On xbox that I know of we don't have a mod that adds this feature. The better ship part flipping mod adds more hook point like you see on the daimos skeg but only for the peices that in the unoriginal way. The standard daimos skeg that connects on the bottom only has a hook point on top and that's it.

OK, do I need to advance into the NG+ game part or can I use this in the vanilla game.

Nice build. Is the name based of the famous Stratovolcano of the same name?

I don't know if you've done this yet but I have a little challenge for you. I'm wondering if you would make fighter or small destroyer only use one manufacture (structure, laning gear, habs, bays, docks, cockpits).

​ @WizeOldWizard Something else to tell you, did you already try the "Deimos 2x2 Engineering Bay" ? i just see it and i find it really cool, hope to have one on your future creation ;)

There is now an 18 ship weapons mod on Xbox, couldn't count how many weapons were used here but i hope this helps

As you are now using mods, why don't you use the "Place Doors Yourself" mod? Works fantastic, and gives you a lot less annoyance and headache with the placement of doors and ladders.

What mod is used for the reactor?

I read somewhere that SFSE no longer has to be run in the latest Starfield update. How does that work?

Basilisk MK.3 👀 in the making ?

Suggestion for future build tutorials... use brighter colors ... watching from a ph all you see is a black screen. ( as that it's a new ph I know its not the ph).

I have all the dark Stars mods but the other Mods don't seem to their can you advise thanks for all your builds

The no weapon power cost mod is not on Xbox. We don't have a mod like that yet

Anyone know the module increase equivalent for Xbox only one I found is “spaceship and workshop builder extendit” which just says increases building ship size but not by how much and more importantly use more parts/module…but again doesn’t say by how much

How did you get the walkways

I need a basilisk MK3 please make it soon

I don't want to take my current character into the Unity. I'm enjoying too much my ships, weapons, etc. I'm thinking of starting another character that does go into the Unity.

Hey Wizard, since you're starting to use mods now, you might wanna get Ship Builder Categories

Can't believe someone is playing this crap in 2024.

First!!! 😂

For some reason I cannot find all the Darkstar ship modules like the engines?
