15 MORE Features Starfield Never Tells You About...(Plus Bonus Tips & Tricks) - Ep. 2

welcome back to the channel it's within a Buzz Light beer and Starfield continues to slowly reveal its secrets I'm now nearly 100 hours into the game and still finding all sorts of new bits and pieces of info as I continue with my Adventures here are another 15-ish tips tricks and secrets I found since last episode and this one varies from shipbuilding to sleeping companions to Weaponry now I've tried to mix it up for you and there is something here for everyone thanks again for the awesome levels of support you've continued to show my Starfield uploads in case you haven't yet done so please hit subscribe and ring the notifications Bell to receive my latest upload alerts likes comment Shares are greatly appreciated as per usual chapters are available for easy viewing and let's get this one going [Music] let's kick this one off with an amendment to a topic I covered in my previous 15 Starfield Secrets video and it has to do with ship registration and thanks to viewer comments there is now a cheaper way to accomplish this you will still need to register a ship that you steal or obtain through seizing it after combat but where you register your ship now makes all the difference after seizing this Crimson Fleet vessel I took it to a ship engineer and it is valued at twenty thousand eight hundred fourteen credits and the cost to register it is still sitting at 84 percent of the volume so that's 17 504 credits if you use the ship engineers and if you plan on making changes to a ship or selling it you will need to register it prior to doing so but here is the new method again thanks to your comments enter your player screens and select the bottom left hand area for ships this should bring up the same vessel you were about to register with the ship engineer but notice the value is now significantly higher at 92 175 credits and the cost to register the vessel is also now lower sitting at just 13 725 using this method of registration the cost is now only 66 percent of the engineers value saving us 18 percent in the registration fees the ship is fully registered and you saved money and now have the option to modify it or sell it outright this next one is really quick and it has to do with weapon Rarities rare epic and legendary tiers have no effect on sheer weapon damage output unless they have a talent that Buffs their damage against certain enemy types rare simply means it will come with an extra trait epic with two traits and legendary with three traits a weapon's damage is determined by the version it is and there's a sizable damage increase as you progress through these tiers starting off with just basic then decalibrated refined and ending with the highest base damage variant the advanced version now I'm guilty of this as well as I see a legendary item and I'm instantly drawn to the gold lettering and those traits but just keep in mind that you could be doing more damage with an advanced version weapon with no extra traits versus a basic version legendary with really low base damage ideally you were looking for legendary weapons and armor with advanced in the title meaning it is the highest based damage or most armor for gear persuasion can be a bit tough in Starfield especially if you have not specced into the skill at all my current character is all about combat both on Terra firm and in space and sometimes being a smooth talker and not taking the violent option is still the best route now luckily there are temporary enhancements available to improve our articulation starting off with hippolyta which will give you a huge 20 increase to persuasion chance for five minutes this drug is available at most vendors and you will normally find it in your Explorations and I did test it out but it will not stack so you can't just pop five of these for 100 persuasion chance there are other consumables like wine both red or white that will increase your persuasion Chance by 10 or 12 percent and you cannot combine wine with hippolyta as the higher of the two the pills will override the wine persuasion effects not that you should be popping pills and wine together but I did it just this once for science clothing selections is also an option here although the extra persuasion Buffs are really low at just five percent but if you have them pieces like the corpo wear or fashionable suits are available for purchase at EIT Clothiers and new Atlantis and yes there is a full clothing store in the capital of the United Colonies you'll need to travel to the residential district and then run past CJ's taking a ride to the fork in the walkways and EIT will be down and to the right and anything you purchase or loot can be given to your companions for them to wear although it shows on your character just before you trade it to them make sure to enter your companion's inventory and assign them to where the item you just gave them or they're just going to stay in their standard attire clothing for them is going to be your call but something that allows them to carry more weight or maybe gives them more Health are probably the best options here oh by the way all I'm saying is planet Paradiso the Hut closest to the water check the lock workers you'll thank me I still don't know why Bethesda didn't give these outfits big persuasion chances like a minimum of 50 would have been good who knows maybe in a future patch this next one has to do with the flight simulator located in the Mast Academy and new Atlantis and we've previously touched on this one as a means of easily increasing most of our space combat and piloting skills but there is a lot more you can do with the simulator start the simulation and once the enemy targets have spawned in leave the pilot seat for me on PC I just hold down the E key and once you are standing quickly walk to the simulator computer terminal located just outside the cockpit but still inside the simulator here you can activate a one-tier shield upgrade one tier damage upgrade and generate another Ally ship to assist you in battle now for the ultimate in Buffs you can actually hack the authorized users only tab as long as you have the lock picking trait leveled enough to hack at advanced level locks now once hacked you can activate infinite upgrades so those shield and damage upgrades don't expire between rounds and you spawn in a second Ally ship to assist you evening the odds just a bit for those later rounds now just pop back into the pilot seat with your upgrades and those two allies and you should be able to easily finish up through the end of round six this is also an easy way to practice your lock picking skills and level those up as well next up are two quick reminders for you the first is to remember to pop in for a quick nap at any available bed every 24 minutes and as long as you sleep for at least one hour you'll increase your XP bonuses by 10 or 15 with the emotional security buff if you've completed a romance option on any companion now the second is to be on the lookout for those character buff magazines and manuals that are scattered throughout the Universe these are instant and permanent Buffs to either you or your companions depending on what you Loot and these can add on some serious Buffs to say damage or carrying capacity especially when you start to loot more from the same Edition also once they are in your inventory you are not required to keep them there for the Buffs to remain in place so feel free to drop them in a ship Locker or even your infinite storage safe located in your room at the constellation Lodge fast travel is built into every aspect of Starfield and far too many players are left running from place to the place and cities but you know there is a better way to do this now once you've explored areas of a city here I'm using new Atlantis as an example I can quickly access my planet map for me that is accomplished by pressing M on PC and then if you look at the bottom right hand of the screen it says surface map and for PC players we would simply press g once done you'll see a basic map of New Atlantis with zones you can fast travel to without using those Nat stations or running all over the place just double click the zone and a fast travel to the selected location pop-up will appear press yes and you will be in that zone in a matter of seconds you'll still need to run to the desired shop or structure once you are in the zone but it beats always running to every location or using those Nat stations ships and ship design is intensely fun and Starfield but for many players they only dabble into this mechanic often just buying prefab ships from the engineers located at every Star port or they steal and take over whatever they can get their hands on and they will often see a ship and want to customize theirs like the one they see only to find that the required pieces do not appear in their ship Builder inventory now the best pieces will appear in your shipbuilder inventories only once you hit Level 60 but there are some great chips to be purchased if you know where to look outside of the ship engineers and that's by visiting the actual manufacturer star yards directly demos is known for making battle hardened spaceships and is the exclusive provider to the UC Navy they are located in the soul system at the demos star yard orbiting the planet Deimos now they have some great looking chips for purchase requiring certain levels of piloting license and will also have several specialty pieces for sale namely those sweet looking Aries Bridge variations requiring a level 3 and Starship building and more on that one in a moment next up is new Homestead located on Titan a moon of Saturn and this is where you can find the Nova Galactic ship engineer at The Landing Pad their higher level Cabot bridges are immense with two levels and a huge forward viewing glass area and only require a level 2 rank in Starship design in the nerion system orbiting the planet dolvik is the eclin Stroud star yard these ships are sleek and modern and although I don't yet have all the pieces unlocked they're level 60 offerings are great looking right next to nerion is the valo system and there on the planet povo at hopetown is the Hope Tech Factory speak with a ship engineer at The Landing Pad and you'll see some massive cargo intensive pieces for sale and finally in the volley system on Foley Alpha is neon City just speak with the ship engineer located in the ship Services building at The Landing Pad to get access to the Tayo pieces or ship designs now if you have the required credits and or piloting rank you can purchase ships and use them even if they have pieces in their builds you do not have the shipbuilder rank to change out this is the same if you loot or steal a ship but to make any changes to those pieces you will need to rank up your Starship design skill which brings us to that Starship design skill and the game is quite vague on how to level this up for instance to move from Rank 2 to rank 3 the text just says to install 15 unique ship modules but if you look through your shipbuilder pieces none of them are listed as unique here's what you need to do and it's super easy just enter the shipbuilder tab and look for the structural section of your menus these are things like ballast cargo holds and more now all you need to do is start installing these unique pieces to your ship making sure not to violate any shipbuilder protocols like covering over your docking port I did this three at a time but more as an option and you cannot reuse the pieces over and over it needs to vary as you go now just save and watch your Starship design skill rank up quickly and since you are using structural pieces they are very cheap and easy to remove and I did not test this out but by switching ships to modify you may be able to reach set the unique ship piece counter by using this method you should easily be able to blast through Rank 2 and 3 with little trouble giving you access to Rank 4 and the best and most unique pieces offered by the different ship manufacturers all right on to the final bit here and it has to do with Companions and outfitting them for battle now you should be setting up your companions with the very best weapons and armor available because just like previous Bethesda games like Skyrim they are capable of using these enhanced pieces but this process has a few more steps to it before it will actually work if you start a trade with a companion you can give them the weapon and armor pieces you want them to use and wear but once you finish the trade you'll next need to enter your companion's inventory find that weapon and armor piece and hit the equip button because if you don't they're just going to use their default setups and that's a big one there so don't miss it now the second piece of this and this one really threw me for a loop is to give your companions at least one round of the compatible ammo to the weapon you just traded them and asked them to equip I gave Sarah Morgan a minigun thinking she would be shredding in combat and instead she kept pulling out this wimpy looking laser pistol and it had me stumped for a bit until I gave her one single round of 7.77 ammo which is what the minigun uses and at that point she pulled out the minigun and used it exclusively because companions have unlimited ammo once you give them one round to start with this also holds for grenades give them one I suggest a frag grenade for the excellent damage it does and they're gonna start flinging these things around like crazy but be careful as their air throws can harm you and companions tend not to have the best aim as they will constantly bounce grenades against cover and straight back at themselves or at you now if you are into mid-range combat I would suggest Samco for his excellent rifle skills or Sarah Morgan for her laser weapon proficiency but here is where you can be wildly different from everyone else and really go mental by using Betty Houser as your companion in battle now Betty is not a part of constellation and she can't be found at the lounge where you can normally find many companions For Hire she is only found on the lucky Lou a spaceship that is on the brink of Destruction located in the hind line system drifting in orbit around hind line one you'll see her ship show up as a distress call and if you dock and assist her she'll see the ship can't be saved and offer her Services it definitely hire her because Betty has a rank 3 in demolitions this means her grenades have 25 percent more radius all of her explosives do 25 percent more damage and damage taken by explosives is reduced by 25 percent assigned Betty to your crew ask her to follow you give her a great set of armor I gave her the legendary mantis armor and then for the ultimate and destruction I purchased and assigned her an advanced Bridger which is a 40 millimeter grenade launcher I gave her one round of 40 millimeter ammo and made sure she had at least one frag grenade in her inventory now not only is Betty a one-woman demo crew she yells out some hilarious lines at the enemy targets trust me this one's worth it [ __ ] and that's going to wrap up this second edition of 15 secret tips and tricks in Starfield and if you
