You were right…too many people rushed to get their videos out and missed SO much stuff you covered. I learned a lot and I’m lvl 31. Thank you for taking your time and providing this in depth video 🤝🏽

I know this vid is a year old....  but after putting over 600 hours into the game... loving ship building....   and finding something in this video I had no idea existed...  (SAL 6830's) I just had to  post and say THANK YOU for this content!

They missed a huge opportunity to not include export/import ship designs.

Hands down the best ship building tutorial I’ve seen. The comment about you still waiting for the mod that lets you eject your crew members into space had me in stitches.

Literally the only parts guide you’ll ever need. Plus your ship builds are awesome.

The most comprehensive and beautifully done guide I have seen. Thanks and well done.

Sooooo Informative.  Level 152 and built a lot of ships… still found things I did know or hadn’t considered.  Top notch content!

850hrs..lvl 110..only just getting into shipbuilding.. Was just changing up ships and upgrading. Great guide. 🚀🤓

Much respect for putting this video together. I’m sure this was very time consuming for you.

One of the finest ship building guides I've seen.  Thanks for your hard work on this.

The crew chatter is crazy!

I'll echo many of the other comments here and compliment you on this super informative vid describing not only what the the best pieces are, but why they are the best pieces.

Let me also compliment you on your ship builds. Your Millennium Falcon, Space Shuttle, and even your 'mini' Imperial Class Star Destroyer are just incredible. I just can't even imagine how much time you spent plugging pieces together to achieve those replicas. This vid was worth it just to show them off.

A ship repair kit for the Pinch8Z reactor heals ~540 ship health in 10 seconds. A ship repair kit for the Pinch8A reactor heals ~780 ship health in 10 seconds. The Pinch8A heals ~24 more ship health per second than the Pinch8Z, or ~44% faster healing. It's worth taking a look at the Pinch8A if you can afford to drop 4 points of ship power for much greater durability. Ship repair kit effects stack, so it is also possible to just use more of them to heal faster if durability is not a primary concern.

For grav drives, the Grav Jump Thrust score is used in calculating the fuel consumption cost for each jump. The higher the Grav Jump Thrust, the more fuel will be consumed to travel the same distance. The video points out that you don't need to max out the jump range score to 30. You can conserve ship mass by selecting a grav drive with lower grav thrust, and this also saves you fuel consumption which may allow you to conserve even more mass by purchasing a lower mass fuel tank. I think the largest fuel cost I've seen jumping across the entire star map was a little under 800, with no skills or companions to reduce cost. You will likely need much less than that with the right grav drive thrust, skills, crew members and magazine bonuses.

Ship mobility does not increase above 100 or decrease below 0. So you can load up your cargo ship with cargo containers and drop your mobility far below 0 to carry huge amounts of cargo, and you will not be penalized below 0 mobility. You can still turn with 0 mobility, but it is slow, though turrets make space combat viable. You are only limited in cargo capacity by the jump range of your ship. For a maximum 100 mobility ship, add the maneuvering thrust of all your engines and divide by 12.4 and the result is the approximate maximum mass to maintain 100 mobility.

One thing to mention about turrets is that the damage output can be increased by 2 different skills. They benefit from the skill that increases the ship weapon damage type as well as the automated weapon skill. They are the top DPS weapons, though you can't manually target or fire them.
One benefit of laser weapons is that they can function as an alternate to suppressor weapons, and still have some utility in space combat. They can be good if you want to reliably disable and board ships without dedicating an entire weapon system to suppressors.
The range stat for missiles is deceptive. They are listed as having ranges near 4000 meters, but they can only be guided to the target if they have a target lock, and the targeting system has a range  of about 2000 meters.

So glad that I watched this video... I'm level 145 and thought I knew what I was doing but I didn't

I come  back to this video every now and then, because I forget some of what you said. This is really the best vanilla parts video out there.

These 38 minutes has until now been the best minutes spend on any video on the Starfield topic. What a wonderfull clear insite into the important details at any given situation frgarding ships. Thanks you for giving me a much much better fundation to build my future ships on. And if nobody else have said it, then let me tell you that you have the most pleasant and calm voice, I have heard in a very long time. You get 3 x WOW's from me 🙂Thank You so much!

Just started playing Starfield a week ago, not delved into ship building yet I’ve only stole a few grounded ships up to now, was thinking of building my own soon and this video has helped me out loads! I understand so much more now after watching this, you really go into depth about this mechanic and explain it all so simply. Thanks a lot, just subbed too 🤙

the particle beams are so op 4 on a ship melts anything

Important to note (and frustrating) is the missing connection points on some of the good reactors

You live up to your handle as ShipTechnician. Thank you for an extremely informative discussion about top notch ship components, and how to balance those with ship performance. I'll use this guide on my next ship very soon.
