Agreed, because I SUCK at building, but I'm trying to improve. As a firm believer in gender oriented skills being a thing (I'm a female, btw) this isn't my strength 😂

So love it only thing I changed was the reactor to the sf40 as it gives 2 more power, hull, health and repair rate for only 1 extra mass

I love this design! I made some sensible modifications to the interior, used upgrade landing gear, used Taiyo nose cones instead of the Nova Galactic cowlings on the wings, and some other changes. The biggest change I just made, and wanted to report- at least on Very Hard, I don't think the turret guns do much good in the aft lower part of the ship. It may make the top look nice and clean, but I don't know if it's functional. Putting the turrets up top worked much better in combat. Overall though, 10/10 on the basic design, thanks for bringing it to our attention!!!

Two key things about ship building. One, you need to be level 60. You also need to have completed a certain portion of the main quest line to unlock the Sal 6830 engine. And that quest has to end with Stroud forming a business partnership with the engine manufacturer. Wrong outcome? No engine. The next variant down you do have access to isn't bad, but it isn't the "best" either. Two, your outpost is the best place to build your ship. But like the OP stats, you will need to bring the unique pieces in with you. Each vendor has unique pieces. I don't even think it is possible to build a good ship from the parts available from a single vendor. And yes, the Frankenstein approach is the way to do it. Now with that said, one think to keep in mind. Your Frankenstein ship won't hold its own in combat. So you want to avoid combat if at all possible. Any trips you do for parts needs to be a quick in and out and back to the outpost. And why the outpost? Because it has the main pieces from all 5 vendors. It is only the unique parts you don't have access to at the outpost unless you bring them with you.

​@IanmwalkerVO I think he was meaning when you grab a thing and head back to your base. That is the Frankenstein thing he's referring to. Not the end result. However, if I understand correctly, you can fly a great ship to a spot, switch over to your ship in progress, add the parts, then switch back to your good ship to fly to the next locations.

I recommend getting on the good side of the Crimson Fleet and keep access to the Key, because there are two pieces that AFAIK you can only get there, you unlock them in the faction quest line and can buy them later: First, the Conduction Grid ( -50% EM damage, +25% shield regen, +1 crew capacity) and the ComSpike ( -25% target lock on time, -20% weapons cost in targeting mode). Also, what do you need all the shielded cargo for if you can't run pirate missions? :-) Also, those engines - you get them via the Walter shroud questline by getting Walter and the other guy to work together. Otherwise they don't show up anywhere.

You the real mvp.

The Cabot cockpit is pretty much a staple of my large ship builds as it allows me to completely avoid ladders. The passageways are also great as they allow me to arrange my habs sensibly so there’s no maze and I don’t lose important furnishings, beds, latrines, etc., from unexpected doorways.

@koolkevin2357

Heck It is the basis of even my small (not tiny) ships, I do like no ladders, a lot - but not a deal breaker.

I loved this build when I saw it in the last video. There might be a nicer interior design layout, but you can't argue with how clean the exterior is. I have struggled trying to come up with something using the Cabot cockpit that doesn't look like a turtle. This build is just so clean, and the minimal use of the green is really tasty as well.

A list of shipyards where the parts can be acquired would be handy, having trouble sourcing some of the parts

the advice in the video is to add loads of crew to offset the power requirements. this might not work how the player expects. the "aneutronic fusion" crew skill does not stack among crew members ~ only stacks with the player's own aneutronic skill. therefore the player can only gain +1 freely-assignable reactor power via crewmates. doesn't matter if you assign two crewmates with 1-star aneutronic fusion; the benefit will be capped at 1. however, there are crewmates who confer a "free point" in one of the systems you'll likely be keeping powered-up. these are (1) Sam Coe, recruitable via story missions. he'll give a +1 "free" slot in engine power when assigned to your ship. (2) Omari Hassan, recruitable at The Hitching Point, in the same city you encounter Sam. he gives a +1 "free" slot in shield power when assigned to your ship. so, at time of writing, the optimum buff to your ship's power requirements is attained by assigning Sam, Omari, and your choice of someone with 1-star aneutronic fusion skill. the rest you'll have to build via your own aneutronic skill points.

Thanks for doing these detailed builds. I can't wait to build this beast!

Just built this ship... AMAZING. I modified placement on the Captain's bay and Workroom so I have immediate access to a bed and crafting tables upon entering the ship. THANKS for the play by play.

BTW You don't have to fly the Frankenstein ship. You can fly a food ship to the city.. edit the Frankenstein ship. Fly your good ship to the 2nd city.. edit the Frankenstein ship, etc.

As for the parts, you also can use this Nexus mod: Atlantis Shipyard All Parts. To keep achievements on your game, take one of these from Nexus: Achievement Enabler

that cockpit got me into shipbuilding lol. the room, the view is just awesome. thanks for the build video!

The only issue I have is that I loath the maze of doors and ladders one has to deal with in such compact designs especially when they use lots of habs. My ship is also a two deck ship, but the only point where the two decks overlap is at the one point I want that short ladder between the two. I've also arranged it that that single point is also the entry points to both my landing bay and my docker. Keeping all habs simple to navigate without a labyrinth of doors requires spreading out the habs (and having fewer of them) so I wind up with wings on my ship to contain the living quarters. I have a central 3x2 Crew Mess that everything adjoins to. For the most part, I stay on the lower bridge deck which has a captains quarters hab (for easy access to a bed) and habs for the requisite work benches. I don't go to the upper 'crew' deck unless I feel like being a tourist. It's there to assuage my suspension of disbelief.

I did something similar to you. the top area connecting to the cockpit is a 3x2 mess hall with a captains qaurters connected, that leads back to a 2x2 living qaurters in the rear adjoined by a 3x2 cargo hall. in the bottom is just a 2x1 workshop connected to a 2x1 science lab. all the excess habs and connectors i replaced completely with deimos hulls.

The interior I found to be just a mess. I redesigned it with a better flow, more open planned, same design modules instead of a mish-mash of several and only one ladder section from top to bottom connecting the docker and aft facing bay

As long as you can save the ship to exit the editor when getting the new parts, that is fine, but you dont actually have to fly it between locations to get the parts.

Well done! Nice build! 😁

Great aesthetics, and not many ladders. However, there should be more options for a class C ship, I mean with staircases rather than ladders. I really hope that next update will feature more hab variants and structural items. Some people want to build a more smooth shaped ship.

Can not wait till I get to this point. I absolutely love the game so far, only level 8! What I don’t like is not being able to remove icons from the planet maps…. Trying to find an exact spot to set up my first OP but it needs to be in an exact area between 3 biomes to get the best bang out of it…. When you have too many icons in an area you can’t accurately click about

This fits my needs and my budget - Plus it is pretty dang nice looking too.

I've got a solid ship with quarters, workshop, 7 crew, turrets and manual guns, 4300 cargo, no ladders. 85 mobility only using 3 of the 6830 engines which only need 2 power each

As others have said this is a great looking ship... big, tough, but sleek aerodynamic and futuristic looking, like something the borg would make if they didn't make square ships lol

My ship has a different design but very similar stats. I'm really surprised how many builds get passed off as an "amazing ship" but have underwhelming stats or one glaring weakness. This one is a beast though.

neat looking ship, great job 👍

Hopetech has the best interiors imo. I try to go Hopetech whenever I can.

That's an awesome build.

Looks nice, but a lot that doesn't make sense or should be considered before trying to build this. First, you only need a very small amount of shielded cargo as contraband is neither heavy nor do you fly with tons of it around. Second, you want however a "Mutli-Frequency Jammer" from the Red Mile ship technician to further protect the contraband to up to 90%. Furthermore, the engines are locked behind a questline as they are proportionally much too strong for 2 power. But rear-facing turrets are an interesting idea tbh. Wouldn't spend more than 6 energy for that though as facing an enemy is a much more likely scenario. Otherwise a great build. Mine are totally different, more Deimos / Stroud-Ekland like builds but yeah.

With no save build function its a pain to have to build from different vendors. Hope this gets changed soon.

Also, there are no stairs beyond a single cockpit, and the max ship length is way too short. It's why there's so many boxy and stubby ships you see. There's also no interior customization.

Great vid but as you can’t just buy all parts then build it in one star yard and have to build the ship as you go along from different star yards where do you suggest starting and order of the rest

quite impressed it has 100 mobility outstanding.

I just repaired and re-commisioned the derelict bireme you find at casiopeia eta and for my level THAT ship is insane. I'm lvl 20, but you really COULD have gotten it immediately after the tutorial I think. It requires a bit of investment in piloting as it's a B-class ship but it tips the scales at 3000+ cargo, weapons and shields are just adequite, reactor kind of sucks (16 energy) and mobility is VERY poor- I'd seen better yes, but for the price of one isocoolant to fix it (no combat involved) this baby is AMAZING kind of the direct junior to your ship there. Just wanted to make this quick comment xD

You said you’ve never used the 6330 engines, so I feel compelled to say that the SAL 6830 engines are the most powerful it’s possible to have in the game. They’re a quest reward for All That Money Can Buy if you finish it diplomatically - there are no other engines that come close, not the supernova 2200s or the X-300s or the Poseidon DT230. The SAL 6830s give approximately 10,000 more maneuvering thrust than the next most powerful engines in the game, which translates to much more mobility. They’re easy to miss because you’re not told about them beforehand and finishing the mission without violence can be very annoying.

I think I'm somewhere around level 15 with 200k looting everything I can selling everything I can taking on space missions and whatnot and making money in this game is such a slow slow grind

Dude this ship and my ship could be Brothers! Different parts but same look and feel. I mean this one definitely more polished, but I've just been working on it slowly as I progress, at l3ast til I get to 60

Some people are just gifted artistically. That is a beautiful ship! I wonder if he's any good at drawing and painting?

4 months later and the Narwhal is still the G.O.A.T.

Actually kf you make landing pad with ship builder at an outpost it gives you access to most parts save for Tue unique ones from all manufacturers

I might have missed it but I never saw the full ship overview in shipbuilder, so I don't know what the cargo capacity, mobility, etc. are on this ship.

Definitely nice build, with the multiple layers and the shaping of it all. But why the C reactor with 38 power? Just to save cost, since you have a Reactor power of 60 with crew? Top reactor is 40, but it costs more. And I guess those extra points would be wasted since you only need 60 to power everything (except the grav drive, which isn't needed except to jump). Also, how are you flying a Class C ship, and also leveling your Piloting skill? Oh, and you explained how to buy parts at different star yards... I do that, but specifically I use the Frontier for it, since it won't let you sell that ship. So I go to New Homestead, slap the Cabot 4 on it (looks ugly AF but who cares), head on over to HopeTech for the 1x1 passageways I need, and if I can't get my 6830s there, I head to Neon and do it there. So I don't think anybody in NG+ actually *uses* the Frontier, but we can't sell it, so it's a good one to stick ship pieces on, and ultimately that's the slot that the ship gets built on.

I prefer the SA-4330 and SA-5550. C class engines are only good for maneuverability, which you don't really need since I can turn just as fast with lateral thrusters.

Sweet. I'm going to try a gold and white look

Love this design. Only things I did different was instead of the cargo hall, i usd the mess hall and i swapped the armory for an iinfirmary and i swapped another hab for a computer room

Question: How did you manage to build the entire ship in one go on this video? From the large landing pad at one of my outposts I can access many of the parts needed but you have the 2x2 Deimos Living Quarters, 3x2 Deimos Cargo Bay, the Hope Tech Spines, 2x2 Hope Tech Battle Station and the Big Cockpit. None of those parts are available from your own landing pad. At the start of the video you explained about how you get parts but then you built the ship without doing that. How?

The reason you get asked the question about where to buy ship parts a lot is because it’s not intuitive or well implemented in game. I’ve no doubt Bethesda will allow you to simply buy and store ship parts within an inventory menu in the future.

Just got done building this but I added the best gravedrive and reactor and added the vanguard lasers instead.

2 strikes going against this ship for me. Not a 30 LY ship and it has ladders. You can build a ship this size with no ladders, and still have all those other stats plus 30 LY grav jump range. No-ladder ships take more fussing around with structural components in order to not look like a flying pancake but it can be done

if youre in the vanguard, bump up the shield to the bulwark.

Haven’t watched the vid yet, but hit the Like Button! That build is so awesome. Literally got lost trying to follow the ship tour at the end. Luv the side stairway going up to the bridge.
