How to Build The Perfect Starter Ship In Starfield

this ship cost me 15 000 credits and a few Parts it's an absolute Beast which can punch way above its class and I'm now going to show you how I built it piece by piece it's a really quick really simple and from here you can use this as a canvas to really build on it and I'm also going to tell you about my choice of weapons and why I chose to go with one weapon rather than using several different ones because it makes a huge difference so let's get into it oh and before we start I am at a killer City I'm using the ship dealer there because they have some parts that I like and each ship dealer will have different parts so do bear that in mind this particular ship we have captured I'm going to tear this apart we're just using this as a basis for us to build this because it looks like you can't build a ship without having a ship already available we will use various parts which going to take this reactor which is a Class A you can get better reactors but it's going to cost a lot more we're also going to take the grab drive because we really don't need to worry too much about that we're going to take these two engines as well on top of that we're also going to need a habitat module we're going to need probably yeah we'll go with this Landing Bay and from here we'll we'll probably scrap the rest of the stuff okay so we now have these parts we're going to start off with the landing Bay and from here we're also going to place on top of this our habitat module it needs to be at least a two by one for this to work and we're also going to press G and go to our cockpits I prefer to go for the samurai we're going to go with the cheapest one probably move that closer yeah let's move that further up it's going to look a little bit podgy on the front end but don't worry too much about that next we will add our reactor underneath now to get under what I hadn't realized you can fidget about with it but what you can also do is use the F and R keys that will lower the plane that you're working from and you can see this is 1398 in parts so far we're also going to place our grab drive here we'll then put our engine on the end and underneath here I think that's right we'll place our second engine from here we need some Dockers we're going to have the top Docker this needs to be placed on the edge so put it on the top edge here I also want to place the landing gear now with this being a small ship when it comes to the landing gear we can get away we're just placing two side ones we'll also do the same on the other side to keep it symmetrical where possible I do like keeping things symmetrical and with this we can press Z to flip it like so because I like to keep things symmetrical I will place one on this side and also one on this side you don't necessarily have to do this if you're tight on a budget but it just looks better in my opinion I think we might swap this habitat module out actually let's go with the all-in-one given that this is going to be a little personal ship and then the next thing we're going to need is a shield generator of sun description now we have a huge selection available but unfortunately because we're going cheaper we're going to be purchasing this one here and next we need to consider weapons as you can see at this point we're only at about 8 000 if you have more cash available I highly recommend upgrading your reactors when it comes to weapons most people choose a ballistic weapon like this lead Slinger you can see there it does 15 damage to the hull and 5 damage to the shield we also have then the laser cannons like these these pulse lasers they do extra damage to the shield but not so much to the hull you can go with these but I don't recommend it the same with the missile launchers they can do a fair bit of damage but really if you're using three different types of weapons you're spreading all of your energy across three different weapons and if you want to have two weapons on one slot two on another and then a single one for you missile you're trying to balance out power between 15. power slots when it comes to to these up here another cheap ship like this you really don't have the power available for doing that so you're going to either have to be constantly balancing your power in combat which is bad you've got enough to worry about or we can go down my route which is to find a weapon such as this one here the pl the Electron Beam this is actually my favorite weapon in the game at the moment and what we're going to do with this is just mount one on either side the fuselage or I guess it's not the fuselage the the landing gear and we're going to grab another one here like so this is providing us if we look here with 26 damage at 3.49 well one shot every 3.49 seconds I think that is the great thing about this is by investing all of our points our weapon points into one single weapon we can Max the power out on these which will increase the fire rate so though we're currently doing 26 damage per second not only does it do 26 damage per shot to the shield and the hull we can increase the speed because we're going to be investing more power into a single unit but this is it it is the best ship really if you're looking at something really cheap and Punchy you do have to pick your fights because if you're against lots of enemies this Shield generator isn't going to hold up for long if you're against two enemies you can normally punch a class above you what I would recommend if you have more cash is to First increase well improve the shield generator and the reactor you can also cut customize your ship so if we press J here on well once we click on a module we can press J and from here we can change the color of our ship so perhaps we want something a little bit more poppy with color oh yeah that's looking good and because I am confident with this particular ship I am going to head out into space find a deeper or higher level Zone and we're going to try and pick a fight against some larger ships than us let's go hunting and if you're interested in seeing more hunting and some more ship building do join me over on twitch.tv forward slash total eclipse after this we're going to be streaming all of today as I work on new ships and do a bit more exploration perhaps we'll even get to class B ships today at this point we are in space you can see we've got our two weapons if we look at the power situation that's going on here we can fully upgrade our weapons here but if we go to three power you'll notice how we're quite slow at shooting if we increase power to them we can shoot a lot faster which makes our system that much more powerful so if you do have some cash available and you can buy another weapon if you equip the same type of weapon you'll actually have nine power slots available in your particle weapon which makes it fire very fast so it would seem that we are being tracked by two high level enemies we're going to see how we found with this the trick is to take out the first ship as quickly as possible and then you're going to want to get behind the other one but you can see this is at least a big class ship and we are packing some serious punches before the other one could even get in just gonna avoid them get under them and get around them yeah all things considered for 15 000 credits this is a fantastic early game ship as this was our first ship build guide and following the whole process do let me know if you'd like to see more perhaps next time we can do a b-class ship or to a certain budget or maybe a theme of ship do let me know in the comments below also why not join me over on twitch.tv forward slash total clips now as I'll be playing all day thanks again for watching guys until next time special thanks does go to all of our amazing supporters over on patreon most notably our solo Eclipse patreons James Owen five less and treble as well as our lunar eclipse patrons the Calamity Ben star and that dude aw as well as our blood moon of the day which today is brain slug until next time as always ciao for now
