Just recently started trying my hand at ship building starting small and upgrading shipyard purchases. Then I saw your F14 Tomcat and I just finished it. What an outstanding build! Seriously I am in awe. It shreds enemies so fast It takes my brain a sec to catch up to the fact there all gone. So well done sir.

I love how he can state that he has outdone himself and the build is amazing, yet still be being modest. This is truly a sick design! Keep up the epic work!

For those having trouble figuring out how to do the drop down glitch on XBOX. Stack *2* Demios hull A pieces, then attach the piece you like to glitch too the top hull. Next, delete the top hull. When that’s done, select the glitch piece and that will automatically drop it down to the bottom hull. Hit A and the piece is glitched in. This worked for me on the top of the ship with all the cowlings on top. Unfortunately, I was not able to to get the Demios spines on top of the supernova engines without an unattached module error. So if anyone has figured it out let me know..

Any piece that can flip I just use the flip glitch

My all time favorite fighter jet. Grew up watching these fly around at the airshows. Definitely earned a sub with this video

Ive used one of your past builds and found a way to heavily modify it where Im still getting 100 Manuverbility(sp) but have about 3600 Cargo plus shielded, 2 2x2 habs and other things. Its a beast. But your vids have been an excellent source for inspiring builds where we can use your build as a base, then just go wild. Keep up the great work!

Brother. I just want to thank you more than any word could describe. I've been seeing build videos but they all do the glitch but don't show how. I've been wanting this bad boy. Thank you again!

Hell freaking YES!!!! Love the Tomcat ever since I was a kid watching Topgun and then was lucky enough to work on them, my first squadron was the last F-14A squadron. You literally just made my day. Cant wait to get home and build this majestic beast! Hope the drop down glitch works on console though. have not explored that glitch yet.

Haha, I can't believe how similar my ship looks to yours! I wanted to make a Tomcat looking fighter ever since I saw the trailer, so it's awesome to see someone else having that idea. It's so fun to see we made some of the exact same decisions in design like the nova cowling on the cockpit, the wings, and the Stroud caps to the side and yet some of the choices are very different, since I'm using the stroud cockpit. I have 2 versions of it, one big and one small. The big version is basically the kitchen sink with a huge cargo hold, mess hall, living area, 6000 cargo with 100 mobility and every hab you could possibly need and the small version is almost the same as this one. Lots of cool ideas in your videos and I love the designs and I'm definitely "borrowing" some of the ideas for this design from you. Thanks mate.

That’s nuts, it reminded me of some of the jets in Macross plus. Superb job man.

Thanks so much for this! I've been really struggling with building a ship. Houses doing well but ships well let's just call it an area of opportunity. This tomcat is awesome. I really appreciate ya!

THE undisputed king of starship builds!! My hanger is literally filled with your ships

Love this build, multiple play throughs and this is a go to build every time.

This is honestly in my top 3 coolest ship builds ever. Cheers, mate!

The fact that you managed to make a ship that is close to what the Tomcat looks like is enough to insure that I will copy this! Best Fighter Jet made by Man Bar non.

Gorgeous build! I saw someone tried to make an F-35 but it ended up looking almost identical to an F-14 lol. Seriously you can tell it’s an f14 right off the bat, great job! My only gripe is the landing gear location, it doesn’t seem like it would vtol the balance of the ships weight appropriately, but it’s a minor gripe

This is what I’m talking about being able to see angles and curves in the right light and coloring

Wonderful work, now im tired, but tomorrow it's the first thing i do wen i come back.... I love your ship💪💪

Thanks heap for this video, I started building a fighter jet but I was so stumped on how to get the wings correct, appreciate your video, also, the glitch bro, man, what a life saver. Thanks heaps.

Finally! As someone who served on the USS Kitty Hawk using the Tomcats during OEF and OIF, I finally have my goto ship for Starfield. Hoo-yah!

Love the build - and You, Good Sir, got me into Glitch Building - Forrrk me, I've got much to learn yet - but enjoying it step by baby-step. Keep em coming

I love the builds here and on your Discord! Get inspiration as well as sharing tips and tricks in building my own.

That missile timing right at 16:00! Nice build man. Swept wings and shoulders look just right.

I love your ship build bro,first ship I ever built in starfield was this,thank you for this video ❤

Great build. I have to practice using the drop down method as not all items can be flipped, but I've had a tough time getting it to work.

Just started playing last week and I love the game but ship building seemed daunting. After watching this I’m going to try and upgrade my Razorleaf into something better. Great content

Thank you for this epic build guide. It was extremely helpful and well put together!

This ship is absolutely sick! Thank you for the great build video.

Thank you for showing us how this is awesome, love it your the best

I’m going to have to build this. What an iconic fighter jet!

Man!!! You're incredible!!! I'm speechless, seriously! Congrats!!

By the time I had made this “nominal” it had already become my favourite build. Strongest points include: Firepower that feels effortless with turrets that fire automatically every time an enemy is near. It’s less spaceship and more jet fighter than anything. Making it unique. Beautiful design. Weakest point: only 3500 cargo and if I build any more cargo holds my Mobility will lower from a perfect 100 score to … well, less than perfect. If I desperately need more than 3500 I may just switch ships for a while but it’s nothing I’d hate so much that it ruins the build. I still spent the time and effort to get this made and love it. Big LIKE for you.

Sadly if you want an optimal light fighter, It won't hold the cargo like the big haulers do, I just switch ships if I'm going for a big haul. Glad you liked the video & build :)

This is awesome. Deffo building it tomorrow. Thanks.

Forget the cargo and go destroyer things. That's a sweet F14 build bro❤

Grimm here. Looking forward to seeing the submissions for the competition. Awesome build Curtis keep up the good work!

You’re such a lad! Amazing build brother👌🏻

Just started playing the game, definitely going to try this out in the morning

Best ship build I’ve seen!

OK I can help everyone having the Spine Es unattached. After you have completed the design and got the unattached error, pull the engines. Then under the hanging Spine Es add 2 HopeTech Riser Bs one on top of the other so they are connected to the cargo bays. Move the cargo bays out and attach a Hull A under the Grav Drive and Fuel Tanks just like you were going to glitch the cargo bays back up. Instead attach a motor to the Hull A, It will only connect to the top motor mount. Now glitch the motor up, leave it and glitch that one up. You will need to do this 4 times and then the motor will be properly mounted. Delete all extra motors. Reglitch up your cargo bays and you are done with fully attached Spine Es. Enjoy.

That's that is nice thanks for showing that ship very impressive

One of the best looking builds I've seen...

That looks so clean

I like this competition a lot! I’ll surely submit a ship!!! Although my main ship looks a lot like a frog, I’ve designed a nice class B bird-o that Looks good, and packs a severe 1200dps punch. ;-) will take pictures and videos soon!

For everyone who is wondering how the drop down glitch works, although i havent been able to do it exactly like in the video, i found that placing down the 2 2x1's, placing the desired piece and duplicating it (control+g) will drop it down just like in the video. I was able to replicate this build with no mods whatsoever. Also for weapons try 6x Vanguard Oblliterators and 5x Hellion Auto Beams. It shreds ships in seconds

@Yomom12388

@@JohnMOnKZreadI like to use either the Fulminator 8000 Suppressors or the Tatsu 501EM’s. They’re both C class weapons though so you’ll need Piloting 4. If you don’t have that I think the Firebolt 4000’s are B class and they’re not bad. Realistically almost any EM Suppression weapon will work decently enough as long as you’re close to the ship you’re trying to disable and you have the weapons fully powered up as the fire rate on EM weapons is really slow. Just maneuver behind the enemy ship, use lock on targeting to pick which system you want to disable, and start firing. EM weapons ignore shields so you don’t have to worry about breaking them first.

Damn that's PRETTY. Thanks Curtis!

Very cool. Will definitely be building one of these. 👍

So Coool!!!! I think Im going to try this one...not sure about the glitch then you mentioned to get the pieces to snap together.

Nice looking beast there! The light fighter competition I find very interesting as I've been trying to get the lowest mass, fully functional combat ship I can made that I still like the look of. Best so far is a Class B running it at 796.

@DigitalNomad.1

9 ай бұрын

You can break down the mantis to less than 500 mass and it destroys everything, super fast with only 5 engine bars and one style lazer weapon. As class A. but very low cargo hold. But only cost around 20k to modify that way maybe less can't remember.

I going to try this, only better figher in the same era would be the F-15, but I do love the F-14 as well

so well done!

Thanks this video really helped out.

Love my build of this. Thanks man! One of my go to ships for Serpentis when I want to shred vs take ships. 😂 Please please do a PROMETHEUS build! From the movie. The landing ship that set down on the planet. Ship looks awesome. Thinking it would be like a mid cargo ship with some guns…

Dude!!!! Great video and thanks

Man that's impressive!

I'm inspired, this is going to build this on my Razorleaf 🤘🏻

CAn you explain how you did the last glitch for the engines? I can't get them to snap back UP into place and using the dup glitch unsnaps the spines on top.

This is so cool. I really wish i had the time to just sit down and build what i want but i don't. Maybe ill try to convince my wife to go to Vegas for a weekend

I just watched the razorleaf upgrade video, and I think I will do this instead. This would strike terror into any spacer seeing this come at them!!

Such a cool build

looks awesome! How about instead the first (central) hab and an companionway behind using a 3x1 all-in-one instead? could straighten the access to the docker and landing bay and give you a bed close to the way out to squeeze in the xp-buff just before exiting the ship.

From what I can tell by watching this video like 3 4 times when he does the glitch, he places 1 or 2 deimos hulls down first then selects the part he wants and snaps it so its green and pushes f to move the module down and presses attach at the same time. I tried to look on Google for this exact glitch but couldn't find anything just the rotating glitch or using different variants but that's for merging modules together mainly or you can use the copy and paste method, put some hats or hulls down first then place down just above where you want the module then copy and paste it and it should automatically snap onto the snap point below. This is what I've come across so far and I don't know what the buttons are on console I'm afraid😢 hope this helps!!

For console/controller if you do the same deimos hull stacking that he does in the video, then lock your piece into place on the highest deimos hull, then delete the highest deimos hull, then once you select the piece it may automatically snap in green to the spot you want. I was able to get them all in after some playing around. But play around with either stacking one or two hulls and deleting as needed to get your piece to snap in

How does the drop down glitch work? Are there any guides? I've tried searching for some but couldn't find any.

use the hulls, one hull below and one on top, place the piece you want to drop on the sides of the hull and delete the top hull the peice is attached to, the peice you want to drop should be floating, click the floating piece and it should automatically clip to the bottom hull doing the drop down glitch covering the shield or whatever, delete bottom hull and that's it.

Wah ! So beautiful

Love this build but it’s a little harder to make on Xbox. I used the Fusor reactor instead and it worked out better than I expected it to since it blends in much much easier at the bottom. Sadly I can’t do it for the shield so I had to get a bit creative with certain parts of the construction although it’s not a lot of alterations had to be made.

Drop down glitch on the tail fins doesn't seem to work for me, still reading as unattached modules.

Using your glitch stacking method you can hide the slim docking port (top) under the rear cowling that resembles a cockpit. I just did it and docking still works fine, which allowed me to add another spot of landing gear, so some reason it kept telling me I needed more.
