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.

It honestly doesn’t matter, you can stack two of each of the Darkstar Comspike, Conduction Grid, and Scan Jammer. Wykkyd confirmed that they do stack with each other.

What is your experience with getting XP between the harder difficulties; be them space combat or ground combat. I find that there isn't much difference between say Easy and Extreme but it also depends on the planet level. The higher the planet level the more xp I notice getting (70 + as opposed to, say 50 or 55) but with the gameplay difficulty I don't see a significant difference. Would you agree or do I need new glasses...😜🤓

The mental gymnastics you’re performing to arrive at this conclusion are Olympic level. Play it, don’t spray it. More accurately, some people choose to do the most boring thing possible in the game in order to farm XP because it’s arguably the fastest way to earn levels. That’s just player choice.

I'll never get rid of my original basilsk. It's the first ship I built, and you showed me how to do it. I'll definitely build this one, too. If people use mods, I'd strongly recommend ship pieces unlocked and darkstar astrodynamics. It allows you to use all pieces (even quest locked) from your outpost ship builder. Darkstar also has "experimental" versions of the same parts that give extra benefits. I have every system maxxed out with three weapons systems. I can fully power them all and all other systems, with some left over. I appreciate your videos brother. I was totally confused and burnt out trying to build ships until I started watching your videos. I get to enjoy it now. Bravo sir!

I’ve used the SF40 and I’ve put the exact same weapons and it says too many weapons for reactor?
@WizeOldWizard 5 күн бұрын
That wouldn’t have anything to do with the reactor, that error means that you have weapons attached that would total more than 12 power in one group. You should have: 6x Vanguard Obliterators, 6x Vanguard Hellfires, and 3x Exterminator 95MeV Auto Helion Beams. Each weapon has a “max power” rating, and each weapon group can have a maximum of 12 power applied to it. So, if a single weapon’s ‘max power’ rating is 2, then you can equip 6 of them. If the max power is 3, you can only equip 4 of that weapon. If the max power is 4 (such as those Exterminators) you can only equip 3. For extra clarification, you can equip weapons that would equal 12 required power regardless of chosen reactor. So if your reactor makes only 20 power, you could still equip the same number of weapons.

@WizeOldWizard 5 күн бұрын
I wouldn’t see this as a challenge, per se, but more so just a self-imposed limitation. Sticking to a single manufacturer is extremely limiting in terms of the shapes that can be achieved, and there’s no real reason to use only one manufacturer. Even when using all the available parts, they all have specific ways of flipping and snapping and as such, I’m going to be employing the use of mods to expand the possibilities rather than limit myself even more than the vanilla game already does.

To expand on the idea: As part of your mission as a Starborn, you’d be able to willingly travel between your original universe and your current NG+ universe. The plot may have something to do with the fact that some errant Starborn faction intentionally targeted your original universe in order to undo your accomplishment of becoming a Starborn, maybe by replacing the Artifacts that you took in order to become Starborn, thereby slowly stripping you of your ability to jump to different universes or even stripping you of your Powers.

Absolutely essential when laying out hab modules, ESPECIALLY for big ships like Citadel and Krakatoa. With your 'cursor' or 'reticle' hovering over a desired attachment point, especially where you want the game to place a door or ladder, hold both triggers and press A, or just press G on keyboard. Highly recommend you watch the Omen build guide to see it in action while I explain it, and also talk about some of the nuances of the feature.

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.

As for the DarkStar equipment modules, you can stack two of each of those and gain the benefits of both, but I’m not sure if they stack with the vanilla ones. Even if they don’t, the buffs received from those modules are still worth using, but I imagine, since those parts are added through the mod as standalone parts, that they most likely do stack with the vanilla modules. If you want a more solid answer, I provided links to Wykkyd’s Gaming channel in the Krakatoa guide, and he himself is also in my Discord, you can join if you wish and ask him questions there, or watch his videos that detail what his mods do and ask him questions in his comments. He’s got a Discord server as well, but I do not have the invite link for that.

@@WizeOldWizard thanks for responding ... I downloaded the Xbox Creations Better Snap Points module last night which worked a treat, battering ram now in effect! I do watch all of Dark Star's vids including his weekly streams, I will play around some more with his Comm Spike and Conduction Grid modules - I was working off the assumption that you could only use one of each per ship. I do not have access to The Key anymore so I cannot buy any extra modules from Jazz as she is - well - no longer with us in my Starfield universe :) But hey no big deal I was just curious is all, the many upgrades and flexibility made possible by Dark Star Astrodymanics are well worth the download. Looking forward to your upcoming ship builds - and other vids - once you decide to go through the Unity. Thanks again :)

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.

Thanks for the heads-up, I won’t be using that mod until I enter NG+. I installed it and found that every hab on all 10 of my ships were converted to that mod’s ‘doorless’ habs, and I didn’t want to go through each of them and manually place everything. Spent enough time on them already!

Here's a Spaniard who wants to thank you from the bottom of his heart. It's one of the most elegant designs I've seen and that I've felt most like my own mind. Unfortunately, I no longer have the patience I used to have, partly due to health problems, but this video, your step-by-step explanation, and the result (In my case it took almost 2 hours to find the equivalent in the language hahaha). It's magnificent. I think I'll also make one of your cargo ships, mostly to cover my Digital Diogenes. As I said, thank you so much for this marvel and all your work. It was a pleasure to meet you. I'll share your work with my acquaintances, and you have a new subscriber.

Well I certainly hope that I took most of the thinking out of it for you so that it was as easy as possible to replicate. Thank you very much for the kind words, the engagement, and for subscribing!

putting the new shield almost inside the ship is a smart move, so ya shield wont be targeted most of the dog fights i just learn something today from this
@WizeOldWizard 11 күн бұрын
I try to do that on all of my ships if at all possible, but just so you know there is no functional advantage to doing this. Your shield system will still take damage as if it was mounted to the outside of your ship. I do this mostly for RP and ‘cool factor’. Thanks for watching!

I always wanted to do a large scale operation outpost build and when I saw your guide I had to do it. Wow what a commitment its not for the faint of heart. Finding the perfect bioms, organizing the outpost so its not crowded trying to level outpost at same time. having enough materials to build everything. I don't think ill ever do it again, ill stick to the tried and true adaptive frames for getting $$$$. but I wouldn't trade the experience of doing it for anything. thanks for the guide and keep up the good work I love your channel and all your starship designs.

It is definitely not a simple or easy endeavor, but to me it was gratifying to get it done and working. I had been making attempts at this basically since I built the Peregrine, and initially assumed it would be way simpler than it really was. I would also say that Adaptive Frames are terrible for credits, but great for XP. Raw Vytinium is worth more than 10x as much as adaptive frames, so while I will likely not be building the Vy Fuel Rod operation again until I reach my final universe, I will absolutely build a Vytinium mine so that I can make millions of credits on-demand. Since it’s just a mined resource, I can build a huge bank of storages and with just a few extractors those can be filled completely by sleeping for 24 hours. Really appreciate you taking the time to watch this and thank you for the feedback!

@@WizeOldWizard with my mine I get approx 160k in credits per 24 hrs sleep. I usually do one or 2 a day using a hot key program (takes 3minutes per to crafting session). so I don't have to press a button only once dump the frames in a certain spot then collect them at end of week to sell for the 2-3M credits. with doing a full rotation of UC Freestar Vanguard & Trackers Alliance, only keeping Advanced weapons & rare space suits per run (includes boarding spaceships) makes me about a 1M credits a day too. Im constantly around 20M credits and it fuels my passion of upgrading all my spaceships I capture & building your designs using captured straps. I use the More Ownable Ships mod set to 100 on each of my toons & each has a minimum of 30 starships which helps me with my passion of upgrading & building.
