Quick tip - if you want more crew space, the Stroud Viking cockpits have 4 crew spots. It is one "block" longer than other cockpits, but it actually saves space because you no longer need to add a 2x1 control room for the same amount of crew.

I’m getting epic B-Wing vibes from this design 😃

I think one of the nice things about smaller ships is you actually see your crew haha I get so excited when a crew member actually makes it up to the cockpit to prepare for battle with me.

The Imperator ship really looks amazing, I'd love to see a Dreadnaught class ship series next. As for a character build I'd love to see a House Va'ruun Inquisitor next, Great with Speech, Melee and a hard hitting ranged option, which can sneak when he has to, and to really drive the word Inquisitor home, he should be flying a Dreadnaught level ship to give the vibe of "The end is here".

On the flip side, I had a blast making a hulking mass of a space big rig in true HopeTech fashion. The shipbuilder is truly an awesome feature of the game and I don't really want to know how many hours I've spent making and remaking and editing my fleet.

I’m loving these-currently rocking a lean fighter ship myself; but what I’d love to see is a ship with a “STARFLEET” feel. I don’t mean saucer section, I mean one with a massive crew, that can defend itself, but is just out there exploring strange new worlds…

Agreed! Having a big ship would be nice, but even just that starfleet feel of like, carpets. Less industrial, more long haul lived in.

The Imperator looks like a ship build I would love to use, great video as always FudgeMuppet!

I set out to make the Frontier lighter smaller and faster. Surprised me that some of the better parts have lower mass. I’ve managed to shave about ten mass off what’s already a fairly light ship. 😃

That entire idea is even more stupid when you also consider that one might not decide to take a perk until later...

I just wanted to let you know that I've built both the Trilobite and the Red Rooster and I love them both. I'm not much of a ship designer so your easy to follow builds are right up my alley.

Once the ship builder lets you define which doors and ladders are open the building of a ship will become much better. I don´t care whether that happens through mod or update.

13:30 The color scheme makes it look like something that the Crimson Fleet would have. I love it! Second favorite build of the video.

I just heavily upgraded the razorleaf and man does it look absolutely amazing

Love it! I build my own tiny Nova Galactic (apart from the docker) ship at 14 meters called the Mini Muffin. Still managed to cram 5 particle beams on

I absolutely love the Red Rooster design! Definitely going to use that

Finally a ship design I really like, I’ll be building the imperator once I’m off of work!

I’m renovating the Frontier to be a mobile research lab and cargo hauler meant for long stays on remote planets, but I def need a smaller fighter for quick skips between mission locations. Or a big battle ship so no one else effs with me

The practical exploration vessel and a dedicated combat vessel are the way to go, try and do everything and it's good at nothing. Personally I like smaller combat ship; being able to turn on a dime, get stuff in your crosshairs and melt it with my 9 particle beams means nobody is left alive to eff with you. Mine isn't super small, it's 3 habs and a crew of 6 but has a decent balance of stats.

Finally, a video with tiny ships! I’m all about tiny ships! My current ship is a Y-Wing-style little beast that is fast and deadly, built around a single 3x1 all-purpose hab.

I love the Clawitzer Tic-Tac! Its firepower is impressive, you made great use of the restricted attachment slots.

Been looking for a tiny ship design! Thanks as always Fudgemuuppet!

Thank you for doing these videos in 21:9. Looks Great!

thank you, I've been trying to make smaller ships lot of dope ideas

I am ridiculously impressed and totally inspired!

Great ships. Your imagination for ship building is awesome. Good job 🙌

A fast class A ship with vanguard weapons and shields is quite fun. Using 4 of 1 weapon type and maximising it’s power allocation = fun times

Well done on the video. Easy to follow, complete with all the info needed and overall.. excellent. Tiny ships are the way to go.. who need a complete crafting center on a ship? I would have to carry all my resources and no ship has that much cargo room. When you want to mod something, fly back to the Lodge and mod it near the infinite storage. When I get home tonight I'm building a few of your designs.. first the Imperator. It seems to have everything I need and it looks the part. Thanks brother.

I can relate to spending to much time in ship building. Like you stated , I’ve gotten lost in what I wanted and what I actually needed. I finally build a 17 meter ship last night & it’s a A class. I’m still looking for structure pieces to place on top of the two hubs so the ship looks more whole. Ty for your videos, their very helpful & enjoyable to watch, I’m looking forward to your next character build

Fantastic builds and well presented! I love the last one the most :)

Great Job, I've really been struggling with ship design, especially when trying to make a smaller more maneuverable ship amd this inspires me to go home early from work to do more ship building 😅. That said I did manage to build a class C freighter that absolutely shreds any threat 3km+ I point her at, even destroying astroids to get at them.

These designs are brilliant! Ive been looking for inspiration on ship building and everyone is building huge cruisers. There is a slim docking bay that I use that fits on the belly and I have found that opens up some top placement options. Build on my friend!

love it that you make ur vids ultra wide, rarely I get to watch a video full screen with out the black bars on the side

Love your small ship builds. I built this as a mini cargo hauler with 2100 cargo space. I had to add some extras but it was worth it.

Whaaaa! Fancy flying there. At level 45 I haven't been there yet but it looks exhilarating. Nice taste in ships.

These are awesome! I would love if we got some more 1x1 hab options in DLC. Like a room with just some bunkbeds, one with couches, or one that's just a shower/toilet room.

Great builds Scott, really enjoyed them

I took a leaf out of your book and tried making something small and stylish. I really liked the look of the White Dwarf 2000 series of engines because it makes the Frontier look like a space hot rod. So I took the concept and ended up building a space podracer using mostly HopeTech and NG parts. It ended up pushing the 80 meter length limit, but since a lot of its profile is empty space it still counts as a "small" ship in my book. Supplemented the engines with White Dwarf 3000 series and WOW does that thing fly. After weapons and shields I was able to add 1000kg of cargo space before its mobility dipped below 100, so it's definitely usable as a general-purpose ship. Definitely the dumbest thing I've built so far, but also the most memorable.

Small ships make me very happy. They have alot ofstyle all on their own. And most Bs work so well once you have levels and perks.

I love the idea of these tiny ships! I actually might make one for my bounty hunter character.

I love this man and his designs. Are you single?

Great fun designs. Nice work

Great video and awesome concepts, excited to try them out

I like how you embrace starfield's design limitations. I see too many people trying to make sleek Naboo starfighter type ships. Y'all make sexy ships within Starfield's style.

YES!!! I feel the same about ship building I've done it all as well, so i design smaller ships now

I really love the Tic Tok but one thing my ship must have is a bed for the sweet Follower Bonus to XP.

Great vid. Done similar myself, as wanted a small ship that kicks ass but can still jump long distances. Kinda in the vein of the Delta Flyer from Star Trek Voyager.

For some reason when you introduced the "red rooster" I couldn't help thinking of a particular cursed southpark scene. If this was intentional I salute you sir, if it was unintentional I hope you get the reference if not look it up

I really love the scav ship. Kinda makes me want a scav build honestly.

Can't wait till I see some 1x1 habs come out optimized so you can have a wall bunk and toilet. I like the way the Samurai cockpits look on the outside, but inside they are barren. You could even use that space to add a bunk or additional control stations, etc.

I would love to see your interpretation of an upgraded razorleaf the ship you get from the Mantis side quest. I just love the starfighter feel of that ship but I'm not quite creativ enough to enhance and expand upon its design

I'd like to see an "introduction to ship building" video. Something to give people an idea of how to get the specialty parts that you're getting and tips and tricks to getting started in shipbuilding, maybe some explanations of less well understood factors in Shipbuilding.

Fantastic videos ! More of those if possible please !

This is awesome, ty. 🙂👍

The trilobite give HEAVY A-wing vibes, love it

I would love to see a fudgemuppet-modder collab where they make a custom ship, have some heavy lore around it, and then some modder actually makes a dungeon or quest for it 😂 rewarding it at the end ofc.

Tic tac is fabulous!

love this video, you went really creative with the designs, do you think you could do another video on luxury designed ships? I would love to see that!!

Nice builds. Finally, some good-looking ship builds. I would love a favorite fan builds video. I would happily submit mine. There's a bunch of videos of flying turds and meme. These have some style.

Can really appreciate the smaller ship builds. Cramming as much of everything you need into as small a space. My current build is 24x24m, but has a Class C Pinch 8Z Reactor, Apollo GV300 Grav Drive, 6 SAL-6330 engines, a Cabot C4 Bridge, a workshop, infirmary, All-in-One Berth, 2 Crew Stations and a Captain's Quarters, for a max of 10 crew, so it has space for all the crew you'd need _and_ contains all the crafting benches too [All in One Berths have a Galley, which function as a Cooking Station]. I also have a frankly silly amount of He3, but that's more for symmetry. The Reactor and Grav Drive are not exposed, it's 4 stacks high and is bristiling with weapons [although I've adjusted them, because it's a bit unneccesary having _that_ many]. Doesn't have a crazy amount of cargo at just over 5000, but that includes a shielded cargo bay. I've also managed to squeeze a Frequency Jammer, ComSpike and Conduction Grid onto it Mobility is only 94, but I'm OK with sacrificing 6 mobility for this little beast. Not to mention it actually looks great imo

I made the Trilobite one tonight, very nippy and there was nothing I couldn’t defeat, though I’m not a fan of missiles so left them off. Decided I don’t really need all the different habs as I always went to my outpost or to the lodge to research/build stuff anyway, really like the speed of these smaller ships - think it’ll be hard going back to some of the much larger ships I have in my collection!

Many thanks for the video ,, very informative ,and interesting to understand the capabilities of shipbuilding !!! and as you keep mentioning about yup I'm one of those that has an almighty "C" type huge "brick" lol to get the most of out of weapons, plus I want as much Cargo as possible ..... lol ( I'm still learning ,,,heehee ;) )

A feature that I would love to see added would be the ability to save ship designs without actually building them. Call it a “schematics” tab in the ship menu or something. You could save designs in a folder so you could come back and build them when you have the funds to afford it. On top of that, there could be an engineering firm in game that you could work for. They would give you “missions” where clients would hire you to design ships with specific specs, and you would make a percentage of the ships final value as commission payment.

Dude the Tictac looks so cool, more ships like that, with maybe abit more interior!!!

Realy nice builds ❤

Ahhh man these ships are art. We got Fudgemuppet staryards here.

Would like to see a three tier ship building for piracy at Class A, B, C ships respectively. Great video! ❤🎉❤🎉

Very inspiring.

Thanks very much very useful.

Great video!

Probably my favorite ship so far has been my stripped down Crimson Fleet Ghost. I took out everything extra changed the weapons to the electron beams. Painted it yellow & black and named it "Bumblebee". Tiny & efficient killer for a starter ship (lvl 25 or less). I think it costed me about 15K credits. It didn't even have a bed, but I still regret selling it.

That tic tac is sweet.

I really like the Scav build! My pilot character has the introvert and spaced trait so I'll be making this ship as a home base essentially.

Too bad we can't build space stations for bases. That would be too cool, have all your ships docked at your own space station.

The Keppler=R, a free ship you can get through a main story quest, is exactly the definition of an OVER-BLOATED mess of a ship. The ONLY advantage is that it will give you excellent components for you to use to rebuild it into something you want.

I like small ships, the feeling is comfy

I got some serious "Rebel Alliance cobbled together fighter" vibes from the Trilobite build. Fucking love it.

Great ships 👍

The first ships got some big ol' bawlls 😂😂

Thank you

IF... you do the vanguard quests for the united colonies, you get the Vanguard dome bubble which can be on the top of the ship along with the docker and not interfere with the docker. The dome bubble is - so far - the best shield I've found in the game and is a B-Class shield.

I'm quite proud of my latest design which is basically a destroyer version of the star wars CIS Vulture droid always loved that design.

With your Tic-Tac, using the drop down glitch you can merge the Reactor and Grav-Drive together allowing for a 2 x 1 hab of your choice.

I made my small ship and it's a fighter that can reach speeds above 1000k for quick boost. Shield is 2k and the weapons layout is insane and it's a class C with grave drive at 40. Plus the reactor is at 34. 3 weapon slots being Vanguard weapons at 4 each and 4 25k missile launchers. Had to sacrifice cargo load for light weight as well. Plus no ladders and one large hab. It's really simple, but effective in battle.

That "Scav Ship" build is interesting to say the least, lol. I like the asymmetrical design, but I would change a few things on it: I would change the engines out for the WD3015s for speed, and I would take out the middle HopeTech hallway hab to make the overall footprint a bit narrower (this is a "tiny ships" build video, after all, lol). I would also replace that missile launcher with a 4th Auto Helion Beam cannon, both for symmetry and efficiency as you'd only have 1 main weapon group to allocate power to. I would also do the hab replacement that you mention at 13:20. I know you were going for a specific look/theme, but if it were me, I'd do the above changes to make it more useful and still retain the aesthetic theme you were going for.

These are really cool and creative, very inspirational

Cool builds. I made my own previously that was similar to your red rooster, but I was trying to recreate the alliance chieftain from elite dangerous.

The Trilobite is probably my favorite of these builds, however I would change a couple things on it: I don't like how the Stroud caps overhang the engines on the rear, plus I noticed that the mobility was "only" 91, so I'd ditch the Stroud wing caps and put 2 more WD3015 engines in their place. I know it's -probably- definitely overkill, but I like the symmetry. I'd then take the rear-facing turrets you had on the wing caps and put them in place of the missile launchers. Particle beam weapons are the best ship weapons in the game, and since you're taking a whole weapon group off the ship, you'd have more power to allocate to the particle beam turrets. Just my 2 cents.

love them build man! small little tip on the first build (Tic Tac): you could have changed the last Pinpoint 3G landing gear to "Stbd Aft" version - this one adds a visual engine (build into the landing gear) which may be pleasing to the eye. it serves NO engine function e.g. does not add up to your engine speed or thrust/power.

I LOVE tge scav ship!

for the tic tac Drop a deimos low profile docker on the bottom of the 1x1 to get another connection point on top. either for one more gun or a different shield and mount 2 where the shield is. That docker is my favorite.

One of my favorite builds is from a Spacer Scarab, so a Kfir would work too, That I made even smaller and more compact With THOSE engines ❤😂 It's my adorable little A-wing with a crew of just my guy and Sarah But with b rated reactor for the Vanguard weapons and shield ❤

I want that violet crumble build. That thing looks nuts. I like the bigger ships with tons of living space and cargo space.

I’ve beefed making A-wing ships glad I’m not the only one going small and fast

I haven't exactly gone "Tiny" with my ship design... But I have kept the Frontier as my 'base', with the size and weight limit being set at "Whatever the maximum amount the standard landing gear can carry" (That limit is 800). Within that weight, I have 4 engines (2 White Dwarf 1020s, and 2 WD 2020s, for 100 manourverability and 150 max speed), over 1000 cargo space (some shielded), 5 guns (2 particle, 2 emp, 1 missile), 3 2x1 hab (Computer core, workshop, and the unique Frontier hab). I have 200 fuel, and a 21ly range. All this is still 'A' tier parts, and I only have 'starship design' level 1 as well. THe one weakness in the design would have to be shields, I only have a rating of 405 (and I think that includes Vasco's boost). Almost everything is Nova Galactic parts (certainly all the main ones anyway, the ones that can be), because "pURiTy". End result (including all the purely cosmetic 'structure' bits) is 800 weight exactly, and is 22m wide, and 56m long. ~JD

I like building junker style ships, kinda give that post apocalyptic feel

i have to say i love the last one and built it with what i weapon i could have, made a copy of it but with side part one stroud engine brace apart form main body nad add 2 x 1 hab on upper level and move the reactor and grav down below, and put a companion way next to the docktor to connect, to those habs

This is great. After 100 hours of jonesing, slaving away and working and begging and stealing credits and taking ships and landing and waiting to steal ships and on and on, and on to get the biggest monsters, I got rid of them all. A massive ship is nice I guess. A ship that you can get on that you don’t have to climb ladders that you can walk through. It has exactly what you need. That’s what I go for now. I’ll be at they are not tiny ships that I look for and strive for. They are probably more small to medium leaning towards medium, but hey who needs the Empire State building in space? Actually, a lot of people do, but I’m good
