Yes.. lots of parts unlock at level 60. Many parts also unlock based on quest completion. Once you are Starship Design 4, Pitlot Level 4 and after you complete Walter Stroud's compainion quest .. the 2 engines you want to look for are: SAL-6830 and SAE-5660 .. both by Slaton Aerospace. They both have massive thrust for maneuverability. With no mods, you can use 4 of the SAE-5660's for a total of 97,200 Main Thrust and 22,200 Maneuvering Thrust. These are the same form factor as the white dwarf's you are using. For the SAE-6830 they take up 2 slots each, but you can use 6 of them (only 2 power each). They have a total of 108,000 Main Thrust and an unbelievable 52,800 Maneuvering Thrust.

That cockpit is the Bomb!! Can’t wait to get to that point in the game.

Looks really great! There's a huge amount of people out there showing off their C class builds, so it's refreshing to see someone appreciating the high speed and maneuverability of class A ships as much as i do. Great work on this one! Also since it has 3 habs you could easy go for an all-in-one, infirmary and workshop if you want to use it as a mobile base. Or just switch one to a command center and use another cockpit to reduce mass a bit while keeping the crew stations high.

I was rocking a similar build to this one for a few NG+ runs, but recently decided to switch it up.... got a C class 40 power reactor, but just class b sae 5660 engine. This means I've got to put less power into the engines to get their max speed and can use them all on the weapons (6x vanguard autoprojectors and autocannons plus 4 helion auto particle beams). I do miss the speed of the 3015 engines though I have to admit

Here's a tip.....Use a Class C Reactor with Class A Engines and get 100 mobility....You can design ships with Top speeds in the 220s with a boost over 900. Shields over 2K.. Hulls that can take over 2k damage. Top damage Particle weapons. You can make the ships as big or little as you want. I stole a behemoth Va'ruun Prophecy III Cruiser and it now crushes and out-manuevers anything..... 3 high-level Starborn attacking together? No problem..... Do the Vanguard questline, you are rewarded with access to 2 great particle weapons. Add an EMS if you want. That's all you need. Ballistics? Lasers? Missles? Child's play.

Funny how the giant cockpit makes the entire ship seem so compact, it’s great!

Nice build. I support using a class A. I have been trying to "uncomplicate" my own ship builds. Currently, I'm retrofitting an Ecliptic Falcata. It's pretty sleek looking and has the basics. Just a matter of ripping out the useless 1x1 habs in exchange for liveable space and upgrading the reactor, shields, and weapons. If possible, without losing jump range, I'm also going to upgrade cargo capacity as well.

Really nice! The hab choices are great for immersion; one suggestion for more functionality is to use the Nova workshop and science lab downstairs. They each allow 2 passengers and have a bed in them (the only manufacturer with this added benefit!), so you'd gain all crafting and lose nothing!

Nicely done, Sir. You've just given me a great starting point for another Class A ship. I also would like to confirm that, according to another video maker (who's handle I can't remember), the White Dwarf 3015 is the fastest engine in the game.

You can put class A engines, including the White Dwarf 3015s on a ship with a class C reactor (shields, weapons, etc), and it will be just as fast and maneuverable as a class A ship with the same engines. You should also consider doing the UC Vanguard questline. After just the first mission, it unlocks Vanguard ship gear, including the best weapons in the game, Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojectors. Lasers and ballistic cannon utterly suck compared to particle beams and the Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojectors are the best you can get till you get to high level class B/C turrets. Another utterly crucial piece of ship gear for early game that unlocks if you do the UC Vanguard quest line is a class B shield that gives 1450 shields and good regen.

I just spent an hour upgrading my frontier to this and hijacked like 5 ships back to back. And Besthesda rewarded me by making it disappear from my fleet. So the only save I have with the frontier is from last night. I want to cry right now. BTW thanks for the guide. I'm rebuilding. I don't want to loose that unique 2x1 hab from the frontier. Don't make the same mistake I made... save right before you board a ship.

Nice build! Building awesome class Cs is fun, but building a sleek top of the line class A is a legit undertaking. The fact you have all the weapons you need with a class A reactor has me wondering. I had a build using the uc prison ship (I love the overseer bridge), turning it into a long, thin Star destroyeresque vessel. Class C reactor with the 3015 white dwarf engines in an attempt to build what you did here. Cargo capacity was my Achilles heel. Love your build and choices!

So with that bridge in the front, front legs from titan (saturns moon) and the same back legs. All together i call it my bulldog. Cuz it looks like a bulldog imo :).

I see that you also made yourself a beach house on the Paradiso planet. I found a place with a tiny lagoon around which I built my habs. The sealife are all too big to get in to it so I can go swimming whenever I want.

you could have had a single 400 capacity fuel tank with less mass than the two you have then you could have put the shield where the 2nd tank went leaving space for a shielded storage/jammer

Awesome ship! The last ship I built using a B reactor and only two of those engines. My next build challenge is to pair 4 of the engines with a class C reactor. I wonder if i can keep the top speed with max power and shields.

This little fighter style ship looks really cool.

C reactors are heavy though.

It's a nice looking ship. If you ever decide to make changes, you might see if you can work in a Taiyo 2 by 2 living quarters without changing the look too much. That would give you an enclosed bedroom, an enclosed galley, a bathroom. and some sitting space. It's one of my favorite hab modules because of how it's outfitted. If you're at level 59, I'm surprised your base speed is only 180. I've got the engine skill which increases my top speed, but even before I started putting points into that I was getting more speed than I was shown in the shipbuilder. (class B engines hitting 160 prior to the engine skill) I thought it was based on character level for some reason, but there must be something else that affects ships speed. (Sam wasn't on the ship when I was seeing that)

The pirate in me wants to make a crows nest for some reason

You should do the first Vanguard quest to get the Bulwark shields. Those have the best protection/weight out there.

Good idea. Speed and manuvering will match mine but there is more.

Looks great. Is that a store bought Wendigo for the base ship ? Regarding weapons. I am finding it is hard to capture ships without blowing them up if you are overpowered. Six Vanguard Obliterators backed up by a single short range cannon to chip away at the engines works pretty well. I love capturing massive ships with a maze of passageways and loads of crew, usually blow them up after looting them.

All of those have some amount of crew they can use. The cockpit alone supports up to 8.
