ALSO: when you steal a ship you can actually use the ship menu to register it/make it your home ship but you'll still want to go to a vendor to modify or sell it! Make SURE your Pirate Ship has personality with our ship building guide -> ruclips.net/video/TgID8gMClGk/видео.html
I wonder how cyberrunner is gonna be different than a pirate. Can't wait to see if you are gonna do such a build. I would really enjoy being a robinhood in space, being a treat to power and big corporations.
Been watching you guys since 2014 skyrim. I still remember when I tweeted you guys about my idea for a serial killer build for fallout 4, then you guys made it a couple weeks later I LOST MY SHIT, really happy to see you guys making content for Starfield im loving the game so far keep it up!
Since Skyrim? It IS Skyrim... just in space. Dragonborn/Starborn, Star powers/shouts, Word walls/Starborn temples. EDIT: I know what you meant, I was just being silly. Also, for the record, Skyrim is one of my favorite games, and I also have a Skyrim logo tattoo on my arm.
This is so much more rewarding than a thief playthrough in TES, I want to try a long haul style trucker build first but pirate will be my first negative karma build.
This is exactly what I was planning on doing. Not sure though since I would rather be actually flying more than it seems you do when traveling around so I'm still kind of back and forth. Will very likely do a playthrough in this style too though and then probably one as a bounty hunter
I'm wondering how viable it would be to be a privateer- piracy but not going after the "little guy", instead piracy versus the official transports of a big nation that can actually afford to absorb the loss. More morally grey and less "I ruined his finances and then killed him too"
@@JB-xl2jc Mission boards love to send you after pirates. Take out their engines and steal their contraband. I have been doing it a lot ever since I boarded and kept a Crimson Fleet Ghost II. Now with more engines, lasers and missiles, I'm still using the same ship to take them down. I end up with so much contraband and gear that I have been having to wait 24 hours at least once every time I try to go sell it because all of the vendors in New Atlantis run out of money.
@@JB-xl2jclike the guide describes you can succeed in piracy without harming anyone if your intimidation is successful. If you intended to spare the innocents though, you'll have to run away from anyone who fights back. It seems like it would easier to align yourself against either the UC or Freestar but there are opportunities to hit big unaligned targets like GalBank freighters.
I'm also expecting to have some sort of new Vegas bounties with a bounty specific questline. So far from what I've seen bounty hunters are more general quests so having an actual story for the bounty hunter would be nice
I started my first playthrough as a typical goody two-shoes, joining the UC, spying for SysDef, and going by the book, but I am SO excited for my second playthrough where I can turn to a life of piracy. It's just so enticing in this game.
My first playthrough I'm going ranger, usually I go for the big government sys def type factions, but rangers for my first, then pirate, then sysdef, I love this game
well when sysdef got me stealing and asked me to spy the fleet i knew i was a pirate there hahaha but my roleplay is more a smugler pirate... i still need to play as a bad pirate whitout the constelation buddies... they hate when u go full jolly roger
I started playing today and decided to go for a true bounty hunter build. I chose Introverted for a trait because my bounty hunter works solo. I'm kind of basing him off of Boba Fett. But I'm also playing a traditional bounty hunter to get a feel for the game. Learn it and experience it before I delve into a pirate.
If you complete "Lair of the Mantis" and use the ship I've had pirates and spacers become terrified referring to me as "The Mantis" its super cool xool for Roleplaying. It even works if you completely modify and rename the ship!
I renamed mine "Mantis Shrimp". It will be my main and my RP is set towards a Hon solo type story but unlike Hon I will run the factions not run from them.
I can already tell that the bounty system will be the first major system that modders fully overhaul and in the process make it a must have mod for all playthroughs.
I still remember the Arcane Warrior days way back when. Thanks for all the amazing content over the years. I hope yall enjoy the hell out of this game. I can't wait to give it a shot once I finally upgrade my PC in a couple of months. Can't wait for the inevitable ronin Revan type or Jedi inspired build. Or maybe something based on Dune, idk.
I also need to upgrade my PC to play the game, nice to see that I'm not the only one with this kind of struggle. Hang in there, man, you're not alone, lol
@mayor1557 Thanks, man. Good luck to you. I probably could just do it now, but I'm gonna be so busy until Christmas. Plus, I have such a huge backlog from this year that I just decided to hold off on upgrading until then. Who knows, maybe I'll get some parts cheaper than I thought through sales along the way. Just need to wait a bit to see the specs for 4k and at least 60 fps
It is also possible to be a "good" pirate. Most Spacer, Ecliptic and Va'ruun ships carry at least 1 contraband. I've found 2 on a Class-C CF Wight - not to mention the amount of loot from the crew in the form of guns. So, if you want a taste of the pirate life, but your sensibilities are keeping you from going full Jolly Roger, there's at least that option.
I have a han solo build and i love it. Most points in social grabbing all persuasion skills, skills on scavenging ect, making money on selling, with pistols and respective ship skills. Absolute blast
It’s such a trip, I’ve been watching you guys since 8th Grade and I’m twenty two still watching lol. I still remember the beggar build where you guys roasted each other for the first like minute, love you guys!
First build idea was going to be a play on a gangster who fled Neon to end up becoming a smuggler then just after a life filled with crime and being chased by bounty hunters and other criminals he decides to join Constellation and live a still adventurous but good life. Makes for an interesting build that has to deal with the consequences of their past while moving forward. Would use either the gangster trait and make hom a menace with boxing. Sort of blend that into the lore aspect. Then give him for traits Alien DNA Neon street rat Wanted Have been over the last few days been really thinking of a crime syndicate type of backround for this character with some major event in his past propelling him away from the violence. But as we know with these characters. It finds them. Love the content! You all have the best job in the world
@@pingus9934 the double agent aspect was really fun. Kept telling the UC commander that he KNOWS my background (wanted trait) so he should’ve known how I get down. It’s his fault I became a pirate captain
6:18 i just got this an i thought my game was broken. I searched everywhere to see if it was a bug or a feature but thank you for saving me from a 5hr reset
Currently working on a ship combat, shotgun, persuasion pirate character for my first run. Hoping to see a UC centric scientist/soldier build in the future! Excited to see how excited you guys are!
This is the one build I am most excited to try. I love the idea of having a pirate crew that goes around pillaging ships and going down more of a “social” build that intimidates and manipulates people and makes a lot of money. I also love the idea of destroying those that try to fight back with a shotgun. Just a very evil and remorseless character.
Tuned in to this especially because today I had the crushing experience of finally winning a dogfight, finally docking and boarding. Finally wiping out Crimson crud and then I went to sit in the pilot seat aaaand....NO. No, cant pilot. No not able for this class of ship. No to taking it. No where in the whole of this event does it warn you that you're not fit to do what youre doing. Class of ship? It doesnt tell you that either. I had to exit that ship and fly away. I was SO mad. My best hope is ranking up pilot twice doing other things and hoping its still there in a day or two. I know it probably says it somewhere in the ledger or book that you need to be Rank such and such to steal a ship...but they could have made it more up front info. Anyway, I really am having a blast otherwise. Cyberrunner is a really fun build.
Hey Micheal & Scott, big fan Sub! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻 Can’t wait for your Starfield RP guides! Unfortunately I’m solely a PlayStation gamer so I won’t be able to enjoy the RP’s myself. 😅😅 Hearty handshake to you both guys! 🤝🏻🤝🏻😁😁
Jesus, FudgeMuppet… After an intro like that, you got me thinking I’m seventeen minutes and forty-two seconds away from learning how to divide by zero, heh 😆
from my testing companions actually count as witnesses to your pirate crimes which can mean ENORMOUS bounties. i have two clips of me clearing the same ship, one with and one without, a crew. when i clear the ship without a crew my final bounty is 650. when i clear it with a crew my final bounty is 18900. i'm going to continue to fly solo and see if the "last witness killed" pop up is consistent when i'm alone. if it is, then flying solo as a pirate is definitely the way to go. i don't think i can post links in yt comments, so i'll tweet the two clips at you.
My next playthrough is going to follow this guide. I want to see if you can get contraband before you first arrive at Alpha Centauri, and get "recruited" for the CF quest arc right away.
The Den on the Wolf star system is a great place too because they don't scan you and there is a Trade Authority there to sell contraband items while in early game.
i havent finished the video yet so idk if you said this but you can build bounty clearance boards and mission boards in your home or settlement. so you can roleplay more
Giving anything 10/10 makes it overrated and turns people away from games. This means that you think that it has 0 flaws, none. This is why the 1 - 100 system is better, where you have leeway for rating. The game is phenomenal but not a 10/10 by far.
Dig the content and glad you're having fun with it, but man, gonna wait till this gets a heavy discount before getting into. Good thing I'll have your videos to reference if I do.
Ultimate Pirate Mod list for starfield. CF = Crimson Fleet - anyone can be hired as follower/crew - unlimited follower/crew hire cap - patrols around outposts - more CF Gear/armor variations - more CF Ranks (RP reasons) - a way to get 1 or 2 of your current crew to patrol around your ship once you have landed. - CF Outpost building options - buildable CF mission board
Been enjoying my early access and I definitely am playing a smuggler/pirate focused character. Much sadness when I figured out that there’s no flushed out morally dubious characters.
For anybody wanting the helmet in the thumbnail, it’s called the Pirate Corsair Space Helmet. The Crimson Fleet Captain’s wear them, these Captain’s can be easiest found drinking in the Crimson Fleet’s bar you just have to be stealthy enough to kill one and loot it without alerting the others if you care about your rep with the Fleet lol.
@TyrizzyThe3rd forst vendor on your right when you walk in all he does is sell armor. The captains clothes easiest way to do it os go to akila do the pirate captain bounty put on em weapons destroy the engines save and then dock the pirate ship kill them and reload of you don't get what you want
Please will you do an Oblivion run with only hand to hand? No weapons, armor, or spells! Potions and exploits allowed! Difficulty can be anything you want! That would make my year! Thank you for all that you do! Hope you are well! Keep up the awesome work! Love your channel!
Looking forward to the “Is X Worth It?” Videos. That’s what brought me to the channel back when Fallout 4 was new. I was going to take unarmed and dueling, figuring I could use weapons until my unarmed catches up and I’d get the points I need for explosives. But then I realized I wanted Armor Pen, so I’ll be forced to take something that has to do with guns anyway to reach it. So I figured I’d drop Dueling and pick something else and add another perk (right now I’m thinking Balistics, Pistols, Explosives, one in Reload, and Armor Pen). But since I don’t want to spread myself too thin, I started second guessing some things I wanted like Environmental Resist and the ones that let you heal from afflictions faster.
Focusing unarmed to begin with and then going into energy or ballistic weapons later is my plan for the moment since i don't really know what your options are for weapons. Explosives and potentially heavy weapons seem like a safe bet though
There’s a third way to join the fleet that spins off the second way that you mentioned. What you need to do is turn down the offer and serve your time or pay your bounty then make your way to Cydonia on Mars. How it unfolds from there, though, I don’t know.
^THIS...I'm not sure why no one's covering this method, I've scoured google and YT and even Reddit and nearly 99.9% of the time they just tell you to do it by vanguard mission.
I was pleasantly surprised when mission to infiltrate crimson fleet become available when I was caught with contraband. Kind of reminds black brotherhood from Oblivion
Great information, but a suggestion, please mention the controls/keys used for different actions as you explain them would be quite helpful. If anyone knows how I can rebind the "leave cockpit" control from the "E" key please reply. Its so irritating to be in a flight and get yanked out to endure two cutscene animations to sit back down.
If you go to Porrima III there is a place called red mile go to the star port master there and get sheilded cargo if you want to be good in the game but also sell contraband to make a lot of money
To join the crimson fleet you can also refuse the mission that sydef give you and just go to Cysonia in mars. A guy tell you that neava is seeing you and approve your doings, and start the crimson fleet quest (best choice giving the rp circonstances).
Fun fact I've found that if you go to the ship option in the menu you can actually register the ship in the menu. That said I'm not sure if you can only do that in certain places.
I'm honestly happy that the role-playing part of starfield was well made. Of course it has bugs but come on, it's a Bethesda game. At this point is expected to have. I just hope that this time they try to fix it before the modders so they can focus on other mods.
Highly doubt that. What they'll do probably is, let the modders improve the game, buy it from the modder, then monetize on that. *Bethesda* cheaper than spending on R&D.
Easiest place to sell contraband without getting scanned before meeting the crimson fleet is going to The Den in the Wolf system, it’s very close to New Atlantis.
If you go to Porrima III there is a place called red mile go to the star port master there and get sheilded cargo if you want to be good in the game but also sell contraband to make a lot of money
I'd loke to make a build suggestion: The Stowaway: A serial killer who's good at speech, convincing and manipulating others, traversal, infiltration, traps/explosives, melee in stealth and up front should things get out of hand with a ranged weapon of your choice. Second suggestion: The Explorer: Great at building, enterprising, surviving and hunting, particularly interested in [redacted] weapons.
I hope in one the dlc we can make a fleet of ships and have big space battles, like becoming a pirate king or joining one of the factions and being a ship captain of a fleet
I've already found a way to cheese smuggling lol. When you enter Jemison orbit, you can immediately land at one of the locations outside New Atlantis before the scan completes. Then you drop your contraband, return to orbit and get scanned, land at New Atlantis, fast travel to where you dropped your contraband, and you can fast travel back to New Atlantis without needing to be scanned again. I'd assume this works with the other main faction planets too.
Or you can travel to the wolf system which is near alpha centari and there's a spacestation called the den, which has no scanners and you can sell to a trade kiosk
I can't decide if I like being the pirate or hunting pirates. Because I realized anytime I board criminal based ships I'm finding contraband always. Not once have I not had contraband but it does vary since the first time I got 1 contraband recently I just 3 contraband from a level 8 ship so either it's really good to pirate hunt or I'm extremely lucky
Being a pirate with the kid stuff trait is kinda funny imagine you do piracy as an alias to avoid your parents finding out Could be like explorer background or professor and treat it as paying off your parents house or student loans
You can skip going the UC-V route and just go steal some random item where people can see you in New Atlantis, then just opt to go to jail. That will also trigger the UC/Crimson questline. However, if you want access to the vanguard ship mods, then continue the way advised in the video.
SPOILER READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! FYI it seems like a lot of people don’t know this yet but for roleplay purposes I feel it’s necessary to share the information I ended up discovering. You don’t even have to be a mole for SysDef if you don’t want to. When you initially meet them just act like you are going to work with them up until you are directly face to face with their commander on the second floor. After that if you select the attack option you can easily run towards the elevator go back to the first floor and then make a run for your ship. After that just grav jump away and then the mission will update telling you to seek out the crimson fleet on your own. Everything basically proceeds as it normally does with going to Mars and stuff from there only you will not have to deal with SysDef and can just be a pirate no strings attached. Also ensure that after you successfully escape from SysDef and grav jump away do not go directly to the key like I did. That was a mistake. You still have to go to Mars first and complete the initial missions to join up otherwise the fleet will still be hostile.
OH nice, I didn't know you could start the questline from the vanguard since I had it start after stealing a pirate ship that just happen to have contraband on it.
Working through my first character as a Pirate and it's going to be hard to top this honestly. With regards to backgrounds, Bounty Hunter has some useful skills and it did come up in the quest line.
Wait, is this the full pirate build you guys made? I’m surprised there’s no lore background for this character despite you guys making them for Skyrim and Fallout 4 :o I wanted to know how this character became a pirate lore-wise. And gameplay-wise I wonder how that goes : just do the intro mission and when you can finally leave the tutorial planet, head straight for the Crimson Fleet via getting caught stealing?
Hey just recently found your channel and have loved all of your starfield vids. I'm curious if you've done any space trucker playthroughs with the long hauler background. This is what i was planning to do with my first playthrough but I'm rethinking a bit since you can't actually fly from planet to planet it seems it would make it less enjoyable. Anyone try this and have any thoughts to offer. Side note 28 hours left until i can finally play and I'm SOOO EXCITED
My character build is always the gunslinger that can wither hack or talk his way into everything. Had to dump alot of xp into ship combat so i could start my side hustle of stealing ships that shoot at me
If you have a ship with a bunch of cargo space as your home, as your raiding ships you can sit in the pilot seat of stolen ship, undock then re dock and all of the items you may have missed.. although along with very low priced miscellaneous items although you can easily sell them
I’m currently playing a lawman themed character, I’m a Freestar Ranger and am gonna join the Vanguard however I really wanna play a pirate build, but I know I should complete the game first before starting my second play through 😭

Fudgemuppet is the OG for Bethesda game builds. Love you guys
i havent finished the video yet so idk if you said this but you can build bounty clearance boards and mission boards in your home or settlement. so you can roleplay more
This game has been so much fun to play. GOTY nominee for sure 💯🔥
If you are not playing this game, you are missing out. 10/10
Giving anything 10/10 makes it overrated and turns people away from games. This means that you think that it has 0 flaws, none. This is why the 1 - 100 system is better, where you have leeway for rating. The game is phenomenal but not a 10/10 by far.
Is it reallt that much fun?!
i like the game a lot but it’s no skyrim. the forced gay options are also very distracting. i wish they’d done romance like skyrim.
@@chadwolf3840 lmao what, coming from someone called chadwolf3840 I was sure you would embrace gay options
@@Hizovi not surprising at all that the guy sperging about someone’s personal rating of the game took such offense to that criticism
Dig the content and glad you're having fun with it, but man, gonna wait till this gets a heavy discount before getting into. Good thing I'll have your videos to reference if I do.
Thank you for making the pirate first! I am binge watching One Piece from the beginning.
Dang fungmuppet has been cooking they have posted like 30 vids in the past week
"You're looking for the best of the best, of the best, sir."
I just started up again the other day. 27hr of playtime later and I think "gentleman privateer" is going to be my Starfield stealth archer.
Ultimate Pirate Mod list for starfield.
CF = Crimson Fleet
- anyone can be hired as follower/crew
- unlimited follower/crew hire cap
- patrols around outposts
- more CF Gear/armor variations
- more CF Ranks (RP reasons)
- a way to get 1 or 2 of your current crew to patrol around your ship once you have landed.
- CF Outpost building options
- buildable CF mission board
Been enjoying my early access and I definitely am playing a smuggler/pirate focused character. Much sadness when I figured out that there’s no flushed out morally dubious characters.
For anybody wanting the helmet in the thumbnail, it’s called the Pirate Corsair Space Helmet. The Crimson Fleet Captain’s wear them, these Captain’s can be easiest found drinking in the Crimson Fleet’s bar you just have to be stealthy enough to kill one and loot it without alerting the others if you care about your rep with the Fleet lol.
Where else can you find the captains
Or you can just buy it at the key...
@@johnherrera5261 from who
@TyrizzyThe3rd forst vendor on your right when you walk in all he does is sell armor. The captains clothes easiest way to do it os go to akila do the pirate captain bounty put on em weapons destroy the engines save and then dock the pirate ship kill them and reload of you don't get what you want
I wouldn't have anyone else bring me these guides
Please will you do an Oblivion run with only hand to hand? No weapons, armor, or spells! Potions and exploits allowed! Difficulty can be anything you want! That would make my year! Thank you for all that you do! Hope you are well! Keep up the awesome work! Love your channel!
Looking forward to the “Is X Worth It?” Videos. That’s what brought me to the channel back when Fallout 4 was new.
I was going to take unarmed and dueling, figuring I could use weapons until my unarmed catches up and I’d get the points I need for explosives. But then I realized I wanted Armor Pen, so I’ll be forced to take something that has to do with guns anyway to reach it. So I figured I’d drop Dueling and pick something else and add another perk (right now I’m thinking Balistics, Pistols, Explosives, one in Reload, and Armor Pen). But since I don’t want to spread myself too thin, I started second guessing some things I wanted like Environmental Resist and the ones that let you heal from afflictions faster.
From what I can tell we should have plenty of points by the end of the game to have all the perks we want
@@Skim_beeble7125 That’s true, but I figure it pays to think about what you want to level up sooner Vs later.
Focusing unarmed to begin with and then going into energy or ballistic weapons later is my plan for the moment since i don't really know what your options are for weapons. Explosives and potentially heavy weapons seem like a safe bet though
Just beat the game, Ng+ is so unique and amazing I love it
There’s a third way to join the fleet that spins off the second way that you mentioned.
What you need to do is turn down the offer and serve your time or pay your bounty then make your way to Cydonia on Mars.
How it unfolds from there, though, I don’t know.
^THIS...I'm not sure why no one's covering this method, I've scoured google and YT and even Reddit and nearly 99.9% of the time they just tell you to do it by vanguard mission.
I was pleasantly surprised when mission to infiltrate crimson fleet become available when I was caught with contraband. Kind of reminds black brotherhood from Oblivion
Thank you! Yall are quick as hell with these builds, I forgot, don't yall edit your breathes out?
Man, really hoping there will be a playthrough of this game from you guys in the future!
Great information, but a suggestion, please mention the controls/keys used for different actions as you explain them would be quite helpful. If anyone knows how I can rebind the "leave cockpit" control from the "E" key please reply. Its so irritating to be in a flight and get yanked out to endure two cutscene animations to sit back down.
If you go to Porrima III there is a place called red mile go to the star port master there and get sheilded cargo if you want to be good in the game but also sell contraband to make a lot of money
To join the crimson fleet you can also refuse the mission that sydef give you and just go to Cysonia in mars. A guy tell you that neava is seeing you and approve your doings, and start the crimson fleet quest (best choice giving the rp circonstances).
I love the Crimson Fleet!
I love how Starfield has breathed new life in to ol fudgemuppet lol
Fun fact I've found that if you go to the ship option in the menu you can actually register the ship in the menu. That said I'm not sure if you can only do that in certain places.
I've regive registered ships that have landed on planets that I went up and captured
I'm honestly happy that the role-playing part of starfield was well made.
Of course it has bugs but come on, it's a Bethesda game. At this point is expected to have. I just hope that this time they try to fix it before the modders so they can focus on other mods.
Highly doubt that. What they'll do probably is, let the modders improve the game, buy it from the modder, then monetize on that. *Bethesda* cheaper than spending on R&D.
@@arjay0490y’all are so annoying
@@bam_bino__mods ruin games for people I swear, you then have people like this guy who can't enjoy a game without mods... it must really suck
welcome to the internet, kid @@Originalchili
Sarah is completely fine with piracy for some reason. Not murder, but if you pick the pirate dialogue option she really could care less.
Easiest place to sell contraband without getting scanned before meeting the crimson fleet is going to The Den in the Wolf system, it’s very close to New Atlantis.
If you go to Porrima III there is a place called red mile go to the star port master there and get sheilded cargo if you want to be good in the game but also sell contraband to make a lot of money
Get the Captains quarters on the Fleet HQ. Place a bounty self service terminal in your Quarters.
I'd loke to make a build suggestion:
The Stowaway:
A serial killer who's good at speech, convincing and manipulating others, traversal, infiltration, traps/explosives, melee in stealth and up front should things get out of hand with a ranged weapon of your choice.
Second suggestion:
The Explorer:
Great at building, enterprising, surviving and hunting, particularly interested in [redacted] weapons.
I hope in one the dlc we can make a fleet of ships and have big space battles, like becoming a pirate king or joining one of the factions and being a ship captain of a fleet
That's very interesting but how do you get to become a werewolf or join the thieves guild
Fudgefield* 🚀
Me when a Bethesda RUclips channel post a lot about the new Bethesda game 😱
@@BoogChannelI can't believe how much they're putting 🔥
Starmuppet would also be acceptable lol
@@x86ed it sounds cooler but fudgefield sounds funny
I've already found a way to cheese smuggling lol. When you enter Jemison orbit, you can immediately land at one of the locations outside New Atlantis before the scan completes. Then you drop your contraband, return to orbit and get scanned, land at New Atlantis, fast travel to where you dropped your contraband, and you can fast travel back to New Atlantis without needing to be scanned again. I'd assume this works with the other main faction planets too.
Or you can travel to the wolf system which is near alpha centari and there's a spacestation called the den, which has no scanners and you can sell to a trade kiosk
Great job on all the starfiled videos btw😊
I can't decide if I like being the pirate or hunting pirates. Because I realized anytime I board criminal based ships I'm finding contraband always. Not once have I not had contraband but it does vary since the first time I got 1 contraband recently I just 3 contraband from a level 8 ship so either it's really good to pirate hunt or I'm extremely lucky
wolf system, the den. great starter spot to sell contraband
To clarify, does going with the background of Bounty Hunter increase the frequency of mission board missions being bounty missions?
FudgeMichael putting in the work. 😁
Me: *tries to play peacefully*
Also me: “So anyway, I started blastin’.
Being a pirate with the kid stuff trait is kinda funny imagine you do piracy as an alias to avoid your parents finding out
Could be like explorer background or professor and treat it as paying off your parents house or student loans
Where were you 4 hours ago this is so helpful
Damn, that gun really do go brrr!
The mods for this game will be insane
You can skip going the UC-V route and just go steal some random item where people can see you in New Atlantis, then just opt to go to jail. That will also trigger the UC/Crimson questline. However, if you want access to the vanguard ship mods, then continue the way advised in the video.
SPOILER READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! FYI it seems like a lot of people don’t know this yet but for roleplay purposes I feel it’s necessary to share the information I ended up discovering. You don’t even have to be a mole for SysDef if you don’t want to. When you initially meet them just act like you are going to work with them up until you are directly face to face with their commander on the second floor. After that if you select the attack option you can easily run towards the elevator go back to the first floor and then make a run for your ship. After that just grav jump away and then the mission will update telling you to seek out the crimson fleet on your own. Everything basically proceeds as it normally does with going to Mars and stuff from there only you will not have to deal with SysDef and can just be a pirate no strings attached. Also ensure that after you successfully escape from SysDef and grav jump away do not go directly to the key like I did. That was a mistake. You still have to go to Mars first and complete the initial missions to join up otherwise the fleet will still be hostile.
OH nice, I didn't know you could start the questline from the vanguard since I had it start after stealing a pirate ship that just happen to have contraband on it.
Quick note? If you register it at your outpost, it's cheaper than jumping into Akila or whatever.
Fudge and lore based guides. Name a better duo
This game looks great I can’t wait to restart it over and over again because I want to play a new character
Working through my first character as a Pirate and it's going to be hard to top this honestly.
With regards to backgrounds, Bounty Hunter has some useful skills and it did come up in the quest line.
Exactly what I was looking for
Wait, is this the full pirate build you guys made?
I’m surprised there’s no lore background for this character despite you guys making them for Skyrim and Fallout 4 :o
I wanted to know how this character became a pirate lore-wise.
And gameplay-wise I wonder how that goes : just do the intro mission and when you can finally leave the tutorial planet, head straight for the Crimson Fleet via getting caught stealing?
brick :o
Hey just recently found your channel and have loved all of your starfield vids. I'm curious if you've done any space trucker playthroughs with the long hauler background. This is what i was planning to do with my first playthrough but I'm rethinking a bit since you can't actually fly from planet to planet it seems it would make it less enjoyable. Anyone try this and have any thoughts to offer.
Side note 28 hours left until i can finally play and I'm SOOO EXCITED
Being a rogue Mantis has been pretty fun so far
I need to know what armor he is using cause that looks sick
My character build is always the gunslinger that can wither hack or talk his way into everything. Had to dump alot of xp into ship combat so i could start my side hustle of stealing ships that shoot at me
I can’t wait for the inevitable Sim Settlements port to Starfield.
The best game for decades 😊 imagine when mods will arrive 😅
After you join the crimson fleet where can you get some crimson fleet armor?
You can buy it at their base
If you have a ship with a bunch of cargo space as your home, as your raiding ships you can sit in the pilot seat of stolen ship, undock then re dock and all of the items you may have missed.. although along with very low priced miscellaneous items although you can easily sell them
Here's a next build idea. Bounty Hunter ala Bobba Fett/Din Djarin
really looking forward to playing as a pirate!!
I’m currently playing a lawman themed character, I’m a Freestar Ranger and am gonna join the Vanguard however I really wanna play a pirate build, but I know I should complete the game first before starting my second play through 😭
Dam what a ship design your have really fits the pirate build. Any chance we can get the building progress of it.
Where did you get the cool facial mechanical thing, I’m role playing a cyborg and it would fit beautifully
Dude how did I miss that bounty kiosk right next to those Crimson Fleet ones? I've been bitching about having to fly back to Neon
You can sell at the Wolf system as well.
