Thank you for your kind words.

Awesome! So the "B" button is the equivalent to the left mouse button. Got it.

Other glitch on xbox that often works is to place the peice you want above below or next the spot it will not allow, provided you cam place it in a nearby space. Duplicate the part sometimes it will place where you want. Trial and error. But using this I have able to place 8 weapons on a nova weapon mount, that only has 6 places and normally you can only use 3 or 4 depending on the weapons..

The MKIII is definitely a step up from the MK2. The flow through the ship is better and all ladders have been removed (finally).

Glad it helped! Check out some of my other builds for some different designs or manufacturer specific builds.

Right on! The Claymore is a beast of a ship (probably one of the best stock ships, IMO), but this will be an upgrade.

FYI.. Your "Deimos Only Battleship" challenge build you talked about on my other video is coming up next. :-)

@@TeamScorpioRI thank you so much bro I keep waiting for you to post. This is become one of my favorite channels by far that pertains to Starfield.

Glad you liked it!

Great to hear! Hope you enjoy this upgrade! At least this time you can color the entire ship!

@@TeamScorpioRI I think it was the wedges up top that ended up ‘annoying’ me the most. It flew and fought great and the cargo was totally fine too. After doing this ship I set myself the task of flying to each manufacturer and making a ship where I can only use their parts. It taught me a lot

Thank you! Glad you liked it. Be sure to check out my other builds.

I do have a good amount of the magazines, and most my ship skills are maxed. Fuel and mass is definitely something I need to watch. I normally just go with the 900t in all my builds, but I know there are better fuel to mass ratio modules out there. For the shielded cargo, I rarely use those as I don't carry much contra-ban (and if I do pick up some.. I just stop over at The Den and sell it). I have been toying with moving away from the 6330's. They are great for the big ships, but there are some Class B engines I really want to try. Jump to NG5, grab the Mantis ship, and use that as a basis for this ship in NG5. You will then get the bonus of having pirates scared of you! lol

I have been wanting to try some mods, but generally I keep my builds to the base game. Part of me really wants to do a huge monster ship using mods... but I know once I start building those, I'll never go back. lol

I use that mod and it works as advertised. Fantastic for controlling flow through the ship!

I use that mod along with Habz, as that has a bunch of 1x1hab variants that you can use to make ships a bit smaller, etc. A couple other good building mods are No Reactor Limit, No Engine power Limits, Ultimate Shipyards Unlocked. Those allow more than one reactor (so you can get more power), more than 12 power doe engines (so you need more reactors for more power). And the shipyard one puts all parts in all shipyards, including your outpost .. so you don't have to dly all over the place to gather parts (everything's available everywhere)

Thank you! This one has been a work in progress for a while. Looking back, I would probably stick a few shielded cargo containers somewhere....

@@TeamScorpioRI Thanks for the reply. This ship has a Star Trek feel to it. Smooth elegant in design. I really like how the weapons are hidden. This will be my next ship design. BTW, I do like your other builds. Some more aggressive. I'll build those too, but this is the one I want as an everyday driver. The bridge is sick with the stairs btw.

@@NotThatBob this is my daily as well. It's a good ship, for sure. The hidden weapons came from my Raider build (which is another favorite of mine)

Oh nice! I like that idea. I think ShipTechnician showed that trick in a few on his videos. I haven't tried it yet. I am hoping the next update, which according to Bethesda is focused on Ship Building, will add some other good features for our ships. Maybe I will do an MK III version :-)

Thank you! Glad you liked the ship.

Thanks for the sub!

Thank you! I appreciate it. I called it Vol 2 in my earlier videos and got roasted for it. #Vol2Crew There is some debate on reddit (shocking, right?) on how to pronounce it.

Glad you like the ship. Suppressors as your 3rd weapon are a good choice, though if you have the targeting skill they are not needed (you can enter targeting mode and take out specific parts of the ship like engines and shields).

@@TeamScorpioRI Sometimes it hits with such ferocity that the other ships dont survive the targeting 😂

Gonna swing by red Mile and get my scan hammer and shielded cargo and I’m good!!!!

Thank you! Glad you like the ship! I am working on adding Xbox commands to glitches (next video I review how to glitch before the build, with both PC and Xbox commands)

Thanks! This one is a bit of an upgrade for sure. #Vol2Crew

Those 6830's do make a huge difference vs the 6330's.

Glad you like it!

I'll have to go listen to that. I usually tune those out while I am running around there. There is a sizeable reddit thread on the pronunciation of this.

I tried a version with that docker. I had the bay on one side of the hab and the docker on the other. The issue was nothing can stick past the docker at all, so the ship profile was very narrow and blocky. I tried to make that work, but just couldn't find a design I actually liked.

Thank you! I hope it lives up to the hype for you

I'd love to see an update where we can customize the interiors of the ships. The process is there with the apartments, just make it the same for Habs on a ship. This way we can have a "Blank 2x1" hab (or 2x2, 2x3, 3x1.. whichever configuration you want) and then customize it to how we want.

Glad you like it!

I am actually doing that for the V3 version of this ship, which I should have a video for that coming out this Friday. I just discovered that technique as well. Its not just limited to those engines, however. You can do it with Fuel tanks as well. Really any 2 space piece that can be copied. You can even do it with side mounted engines as well (I tried it with the supernova engines)

I was calling it Vol 2 as well. As a Dungeons and Dragons Online fan, there is a deity that I encounter in that game called Vol. So my brain just immediately associated that word as VOL-II.

Good point. So to do that and keep the shape (and my pool table), you would put the battle station where the nova galactic living quarters is (connected to the control station).. then swap the captians quarters and the computer core to where the battle station was (right side) and the living quarters would go on the left side. That could definitely work. Thanks for the tip.

Tried that originally. Only problem with that is nothing can stick out past the docking bay. So you lose the whole shape of the ship. It becomes one long straight line.

Hopetech definitely has that "lived in" look to them. I really like their mess hall. That little tv room is just cool.

Apparently its Vol-Lie, at least according to characters in the game.

Adding some shielded cargo is a great upgrade. I usually just head to The Den in between loot runs. No scans there.

@@TeamScorpioRII sometimes forget what I have onboard (or what my companions drag in) so this is a little bit of insurance. I don't recommend siding with the CF unless you plan to play though again. The companions don't have a mute button. Ok Sarah, shut up already.😁 So I'm building your ship again on play through 3 once I get enough coin.

@@RB-xj4fg We definitely need a mute button for companions. Sadly, the Constellation members are the best companions, especially for ships. They are also the most annoying

@@TeamScorpioRI i got a mod that makes all constellation members space suits turn into republic commando Armour and they still talk alot but something about seeing a RC commando talk to you is pure gold and makes them less annoying

So did I. That is how I pronounced it in my first bunch of videos. Apparently it's Vol-LIE. #Vol2Crew

This is accurate, same Latin root still in use in Italian and Portuguese for want/desire, and the root of Volunteer in English.

Good point. The only problem is if you want the hab layout to go in a certain shape, it will not always drop doors an ladders where you want them. It would be nice if we could select a hookpoint that is between to habs and mark it as "door/ladder goes here" or something like that.

@@TeamScorpioRI Yeah I did write to them with an idea that uses the levels of starship design to allow us to tinker with habs and layouts. My idea being that at level 1 you can select which hatches are active on a hab after building (like using the outpost editor and toggling window designs). Level 2 would allow you to move the beds/large furniture around in a hab level 3 would allow you to turn habs (and only habs) 90 degrees at a time, and level 4 would allow you to order custom habs that you can select the size and layout for based on the habs that company sells. I think the last level would be a fantastic credits sink if each custom hab square were to cost, say 50K, because I would certainly be flying in a ship with millions of credits worth of custom habs. Another idea I suggested was to have a 1x1x2 stairwell (up/down stacked 1x1) and a 1x2x2 staircase. I suspect though that any changes like this will be a long time in the making though.

@@aaronwebb7090 I fully support all of those!!!

I tried a design with the side docker (basically the landing bay on one side of the hab, and the side docker on the other). The problem was the rest of the ship couldn't be any wider than the docker. I just couldn't find a configuration that way that I liked.

True. There is a mod that lets you have all the parts at the outpost. It is handy for those that can (and want to) install it..... Sorry Xbox.

It does that on PC too, but very quickly. If it had a longer pause I would definitely freak out a little.

Agreed. Every piece should be flippable in every direction. There are some great pieces that would be even better if they could be rotated like the Stroud Cap A's

@@TeamScorpioRI exactly with the case of the Stroud pieces. Don't understand why there's even a Cap C when the Cap B could just be flippable and have a variant change like the Cap A. Stupid decision on Bethesda's part. But oh well, we're stuck with it "as is" for now, until a DLC change or mod (I'm on Xbox so still can't use any yet).

The Razer Leaf is a great choice for any custom ship build.

Yes, you are right. I'll make sure to correct that in future videos.

Hmmm ... make sure that you do Dusty, make sure that you do. :p ;) S

Tough crowd. ;)

I could have sworn for this version that I used the Assurance SG-1800 (at least that is what I have on my parts list). That has the best health for a shield. I do use the Vanguard shield and the 28t in builds as well, depending on what I need. The 28t is a great option if you want to hide the shield. Since it's flippable, you can glitch it into other parts.

I am actually working on that right now, but with another ship design (my Celestial Saber build). I may do this one as well, since this is my most popular builds.

Now that is a new one!

My wish is to have a toggle for hookpoints on habs. So you can toggle them on or off to assign ladders and doors to specific connections.... that and blank habs that we can customize ourselves.

So did I... Apparently its Vol-LIE (at least that is how Walter Stroud pronounces it in game)

I thought the same at first. Apparently I was wrong.

I tried that. I was originally going to go with the side docker on one side of the armory, and the bay on the other side. It flowed nicely, but you could not extend any structures beyond the docker.. which meant the ship was just long and skinny. I could not get it to where I had a design I liked while using it.

I've seen a build where the designer (can't remember who, sadly) mounted the side docker on a HopeTech Hab Cross Brace, to push it further away from the side of the ship. I thought it a clever idea; one I've used successfully on my own builds.@@TeamScorpioRI

Not a bad idea. The other thing I was toying with was having the side docker on one of the rear habs that are on the wings of the ship. That might also work with this design.

Maybe sheild generator or grav drive? I think the grav drive need a to be level 54 to buy.

It was the grav drive.

Thanks!

Nope, they are not connected to the story, they are the variation form of the 1LA and 3LA pieces. Select the 1LA-PT, and there will be an option at the bottom to change the variant (left and right arrows on PC, should be similar on xbox). Same technique when selecting the different habs. FYI: you only need the 1LB-PT's.. for the others use the 3LA-PT's. That's my mistake and a mis-type in the video.

@@flemmingsen Weird, as I am on PC and you can see me do it in the video

This is the rational I saw online, where it should be the Latin pronunciation. In game, both Walter Stroud and local residents of the planet pronounce it "Vol-LIE". It is probably one of those places where the pronunciation is different than what is should be. We have a city around here like that.. Spelled Worchester.. should be "wOr-Chest-er".. but its actually pronounced "wUs-Ster".

@@TeamScorpioRI Yeah...it's like that in real life and in computergames, ask three people and you get four different answers, Worchester being one exemption... remember Fallout 3 and the multitude of pronounciations for Caesar? Or the many ways english speakers pronounce german car brands?

I actually tried that as part of my original redesign. I had the side landing bay on one side like it is, and directly on the otherside I had the side docker. And It was perfect.... except that you could not put any piece on the ship beyond the side docker.. Which made the ship one straight line. So I ended up losing the whole back half of the ship. I tried to make it work, but could not find a configuration that I liked. One of these days I am going to get that perfect....

@@TeamScorpioRI replacing the habs near the engines (on the wider part) might solve the issue but that being said it cames to your preferences and if you are willing to sacrifice interior design over to functionality.

I think I did try that. If I remember correctly, the original configuration I was working with had more of a U shape to the habs at the back (wrapping around the drive section). But even then, putting anything on the side of the ship caused the error. Its seems the top/bottom dockers have more forgiveness to the placing of pieces than a side docker. I may still try and play around with something. Maybe when I do my Nova Only build.

Apparently not! I am glad I am not the only one who thought that. #Vol2Crew

I did that on my "Strongbow" build, which has an extra long ladder leading from the landing bay to the bridge (6 levels), At least it wasn't death.

They are dropping it from GamePass? That's a dumb move by them.

That is the stealth armor from the Ryujin questline. Its not an exterior suit, so you have to have to option to "hide spacesuits on planets" turned on. Thanks for the sub!

That's what I thought at first too.. but characters in game refer to it as Vol-LIE.

Do you have Sarah Morgan assigned as a crew member? She will reduce fuel cost, which will increase jump range.

Guilty as charged #Vol2Crew

It was a part that I forgot to remove that wasn't needed. Found it after I uploaded the video, so I couldn't go back and change it. Only option from the built in youtube editor was to blur it.

@@TeamScorpioRI yeah that’s what i thought

I was going through the "All that money can buy" mission and that is how Walter says it. So I will probably switch to that going forward.

@TeamScorpioRI I just did that mission as well that must have been who said it, also recently did crimson fleet absolute power which takes place in neon , so it was likely said there as well.

Thanks for the info. Applying a blur to one of those. First time using the editor in KZfaq so hopefully it comes out correctly.

I checked out your Mantis build. I like how you glitched the landers and engines together to retain the shape... As far as recording from Xbox, not sure what you need to do there. Usually I see people stream from the Xbox to a computer via a video capture card. Not 100% sure, though. I am on PC, so I just use OBS to capture.

I really wanted to incorporate the side docker on this build, that would fully eliminate all ladders. But the builder won't let you build past the docker, so the ship ended up being very long and skinny.

@TeamScorpioRI that is the down fall to the side docker I've seen people use it on builds that have the cab and bay closer to one side of the ship vs centering them. I haven't done a build like that yet but the side docker makes since for them.

@TeamScorpioRI lol thanks I glitched a good bit on that build to keep in the shape I was going for I still feel the legs wasn't far enough forward for realism even though the game dont care. Thank you tho.

Yes, it is. You need to be level 54 and have your starship design at level 4 to access it. Most other class C drives should work though. The SGD 3300 Grav Drive would be a good alternative.

In my first few videos, I referred to it as Vol-2 as well (They looked like roman numerals to me) and got roasted in the comments. Took me a while to switch. #Vol2Crew

Most likely you used the SAL6830 engines vs the 6330's that I used in this video. I didn't have access to them at the time when build this. I did upgrade them later and it brought be up to that mobility. FYI, I am working on a V3 of this ship now with the new custom habs. 91 Mobility, better weapons, and "technically" more cargo space (plus added shielded cargo). Should be dropping this coming Friday.

@@TeamScorpioRI can't wait !!! Thank you in advance 🙂

Turning off gravity would be an interesting idea.. Though they put so much crap in the ship modules, it would just be Chunk packages and random notepads and pens everywhere!

@@TeamScorpioRIyou are absolultly right. The first thing I always do the moment all the crap spawns is to pick up everything and sell 'em at the first Trade Authority Kiosk. Then you have Sarah bitching about recycled air.

They really need to move the "apartment customization" feature to the ships. On my first playthough, I got that awesome apartment on New Atlantis... and never used it. But we are on our ships constantly. Let us customize the habs there! Give us "Blank" hab configurations to customize. I would love to take a 3x3 and make that the living quarters, or have a 2x3 captains quarters. It would open up ship building so much

@@TeamScorpioRIYeah, but first we need some layout saving because everything reverts back to default even if you change the paint of the ship. I would love to save a template layout of the changes I've made. So many things that this game needs, luckly most things you can change with console commands.

Rear facing cannons do target enemies who are behind you. They can rotate as well, but I am not sure to what degree. Unfortunately the battle stations do nothing but add crew spots to the ship. I really wish it added other bonuses... but that is a topic for another video.

Unfortunately I can't use the side docker without ruining the lines of the ship. Nothing can stick out past the radius of the docker, so I end up loosing the wings on the side. I was trying that with my initial mock-up, but could not get the aesthetic I like with everything piled above or below the ship/

It will not let me paste a picture here, but I designed a ship with the bay and the docker on opposite sides of the ship, at the ‘ends of the wings’….

@@DougJessee good idea. I could make that work with this layout. I'd probably need to switch the habs around a bit, which won't be too bad now that we have blank habs to build with

You can absolutely build this on xBox. I don't use mods in my videos. You do have to glitch a few pieces in place (I used it to hide the weapons in the wing pods). Its an easy task to do and I explain the process in the video. Just need to translate the commands to xBox ("flip piece" and "cancel")

Thanks for the heads up. I deleted the old video and reposted. Something must have gone wrong when rendering it. This one should be good to go.

Stick your butt out the ship docker and let loose!

I heard that recently when I went to do that mission. I am using that pronunciation from now on.

Agreed, capturing ships is easy in this game. I just find it easier at this point to buy the Rambler for a starter ship for any build. Also, you don't need to hit multiple vendors for a good ship. Check out my "Raider" build. 100% outpost build. As for flying a fankenstien from place to place, its really no worry when jumping to the shipyards. No hostile activity ever happens when you jump to those locations. New Homestead, Deimos, Akila, Neon.. All safe jumps.

#Vol2Crew

Its the operator suit and helmet from the Ryujin questline

Not all the parts are available at the outpost ship builder. Pieces like the Cabot Bridge, or the 2x2 Battle station need to be purchased at the specific vendors in order to use them.
