I’ve been wanting to make a ship that shoots broadside like old pirate ships. I guess you’d have to use ballistic turrets all on one side tucked into little bays where they can only shoot if you turn that side to the enemy.
Been experimenting with that in fact. You can rotate turrets to face sideways. Looks cool, and you can actually fight two enemies at once, but aligning your ship correctly is pretty hard, because you can't really look sideways even with free cam. Damage isn't great either. Just let everything face forward felt more effective.
I had heard legends of the extended ship warranty, I'm glad to see them get what they deserved. Also i wonder if you could put rear turrets and side auto turrets while keeping main guns on the front. just have the turrets be there to help with your flank and hit anything surrounding you, even if they probably wont kill anything like that.
you absolutely can do that... in fact thats how they were designed... if you space them properly they can still rotate to aim at the front of the ship too but will primarily be aimed towards the side in case anyone flies past you... if you have your main guns facing forward you can kill most enemies before they get to you and the turrets will deal with enemies attacking you from the side/behind while you deal with enemies in front... this is why turrets deal less damage than forward only facing weapons. basically think of the turrets more like point defense weapons... they are AMAZING at killing a bunch of weak enemies surrounding you... but they dont have as much firepower as some of the other aimed weapons...

@@arcanumelite4853 You are forgetting the difference in fire rate for example the PB 100 Neutron Beam does 29.89 dmg at a fire rate of 2.5 vs the PB Auto Neutron Beam Turret at 20.79 dmg at a fire rate of 5 to directly compare them you must convert the fire rates to be equal, so the turret would be doing 41 dmg at 2.5 vs the manual at 29
The Extended warranty NPC is by far the best easter egg I've found so far... and I'm sure there are more, but this one makes me laugh EVERY DAMN TIME!! lmao
You may also want to look into getting a better reactor. The strongest reactors I have found are at the vendor on the planet Gargarin in the same system as New Atlantis. There is also a perk at the end of the Science tree that can increase your reactor output by 1 at first tier and by 5 at tier 4.
if you want a fatser turning speed its similiar to jet flying in bf4 going down to about mid speed accelerating and de-accelerating helps your turning greatly
I thought the same thing in my first hour of game play. We are talking battlestar level ship. With docking bays you actually have to dock to to enter the ship. I want a ship so damn big you see it in orbit from the surface of the planet. LOL
or even have its own starbase/shipmanufacurer company :D u can build ships for sale (get contracts with part distributors) so u can build with any part and new ones :D + other players can buy the ships too at a vendor :D the shop has more categories new/best rated/Class etc.. u get some credits and in terms of other players buying your ships u get a % of credits :D i guess starting its own faction would be also cool :D having options of a handfull planets that support life :D and then advance from then on to start mining etc. or through story u get something so u can terraform a planet of anykind (goldilock zone required) to make it liveable
Here's a handy tip: when constructing your turret, consider positioning them broadside, facing both sides. This arrangement enables you to simultaneously target multiple adversaries. You can place four turrets on one flank and another four on the opposite side. If your vessel can accommodate more, go ahead and maximize your firepower. This strategic approach allows you to effectively engage and defend against an entire fleet of enemy ships but do keep in mind that it demands substantial components for successful implementation. I demonstrated this On a Twitch stream.
I like the auto turrets because it feels like its what my crew is using to attack instead of me being the only source of damage. (i know thats not the case but its fun to think its being manned by my crew lol)
Did you noticed Star Citizen joke there? )) About "CIC" and "delivering ships on time" ) 0:38 - Bireme - old Roman warship with two superimposed rows of oars. By-reem. 8:13 - Each landing gear has "Lander Thrust". Each one = 200 tons. Best gear i've found has 4 thrust. So 4 of them will hold ship of 4 * 4 * 200 = 3200 tons. And you can place it on the same size - look fun ) 9:58 - ship repair is not 0 by default (like medpack), it's O. Not zero, it's letter O.
@@libertasanletum rome as a sovereign polity has existed since at least 753 BC when it was established as a monarchy that would last until 509 BC when it became a republic.
That made me laugh out loud when he asked about your extended warranty. Hilarious. You might try putting the auto lock turrets on the top and bottom, that way when you're turning, you'll always have weapons that can hit them.
Imagine if the DLC added more weapon types. Like say..... a Drone controller for combat drones among other things, or because i can't resist the urge to do this in ANY SPACE GAME, Build a Carrier, all be it a VERY small one.
Hm, drone system instead of missiles. They swarm a target and stay for a few seconds before suiciding. Could be super useful for those lower level ships while we focus on the stronger ones manually.
In my experience, it’s best to prioritize two weapon slots and either leave the third one empty or make it a conditional weapon. For me, my third slot is EM for boarding ships. The rest are Particle Cannons, which, when prioritized, will shred enemy shields and hull like paper.
The name 'Bireme' (pronounced Bye-reem) is the name for an ancient class of warships from Greece, Mesopotamia, Cyprus, etc. Mainly Mediterranean nations. They were named specifically for the rows of oars they used to propel themselves forward when not under sail. Bireme: Two rows of oars. (Usually had one central mast and sail) Trireme: Three rows of oars. (Two masts and sails) Quadreme: Four rows of oars. (Three masts and sails) Octoreme: Eight rows of oars. (These were the largest warships of the ancient world and served as flagships for national navies) (4 masts and sails) Up until the 1800s it was common belief that only Bireme type vessels could safely navigate the Mediterranean Sea and thus they were still in use up until the age of steam. Hoplites were Greek spearmen, usually considered veteran soldiers or 'elites'. Phalanx was a Roman tactic which consisted of Roman soldiers creating a 'wall' with their shields and sticking their spears (or pilums) through the gaps in the shields to deter enemy cavalry or infantry charge. This tactic was later revived by armies of Empires such as France and England to 'form squares' with spears, pikes, and later bayonets leveled and out to deter horse-mounted charges. Gladius is a Roman short sword often issued to Gladiators in the Colosseum. Aegis is a mythological goatskin cloak often associated with Zeus and Athene (Greek) or their Roman equivalents (Jupiter and Minerva). In modern terms, an Aegis is a shield or protection. Deimos in Greek mythology is the son of Ares and Aphrodite, brother of Phobos and the ancient Greek personification of terror and fear. Seeing a trend in the starship naming.
There's class C reactors with 40 generation (plus whatever you get from the skill if you have it). Also, if you joined UC they have some sick stuff, namely the Vanguard shield. It's a class B, but has an insane 1450 hit points and is tiny, basically a porthole. They also have some nice weapons. I recommend building a outpost with the large landing pad and customizing there, that is where I have access to the actual top end stuff. IE- my class C ships have 30ly, 3000 cargo, 100 mobility, full weapon hard points, I forget how much hull but over 1500 iirc, etc.
it killed me the first time i heard "the we have been trying to reach you about your ships extended warranty" i was like even in space 300+ years later you still can escape these MFs lol.
Dude, how do you know what a starborn is but not the key? And if you keep thurst im the middle the White field the ship turn faster. Good ship design :) gave a lot of ideas:) to find out more about the Key, get arrested in a uc controlled area, Just Steal a cup or smt from a shop :)
80m is the largest a ship can be and land on planets. if they had a shuttle system allowing for larger ships we could probably solo the entire navy of all the factions combined.
Yeah the building system is actually way more limited than I was hoping for. Besides just new modules that modders can eventually do, there are a lot of limitations imposed by the system and some things like being unable to rotate parts is frustrating.
The only thing I'm iffy about is part orientation, since as a non-coder I don't really know whether that is fixable by mods or not. Otherwise the system should be plenty customizable enough to meaningfully expand past the limitations of the core game parts.
@@Chris-ve3hz yes, but only across one axis, even though some parts look like they should be able to mirror across two. The white dwarf engines for example can only mirror vertically, even though their design should allow for horizontal mirroring too. That's what OP and I mean by 'being unable to rotate'.
There's another turret in the "obliterator" series that you can only have 3 of. Deals 200 shield + hull damage for each one for a max of 600 to both lol, using those with the 4 you grabbed and then 6 of the vanguard particle guns. Shields don't exist anymore and everything is shredded to bits
You also have to remember to put long, thin, light segments, many stacked end-to-end, off of the top and specifically just one side and not the other, that way nobody can hit you XD
yeah, make more Battleship builds! was thinking something like a WW2 battleship! big, slow but tough ships with 3x triple turret guns and a bunch of point defense machine guns!
Having a fast, maneuverable, and huge, ship IS possible...but the bigger you are, the faster you're taken down when facing multiple ships (the bigger you are the easier to hit). I took a C-class Generator and Shield (1200 shield power), 4 Disruptor Auto Turrets, 6 Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojectors, and a tiny class A grav drive. The ONLY Hab components I had were a 2x1 Control station, and a 1x1 companion way. I used the stock cockpit. Keeping the silhouette as small as possible, and keeping my speed around 100, I was able to solo 5 Vanguard ships without ever taking Hull damage, in under 90 seconds.
Your creation is definitely giving "Prometheus" vibes from Stargate: SG1. the first space ship of the Tau'ri, and it was a light battle carrier. Yours is almost a dead ringer for that ship, on the visual end at least. That being said, is it not possible to face the turrets backwards? they seem to only have a 90 degree arc. I get the distinct impression those turrets are more for point defense.
Something I recommend with turrets is having 3 and going with ballistics as the main weapon that way to focus on multiple targets and missiles don’t hurt at as well. Locking on to the target that your turrets are fighting is fun as well
You’re right about turrets being useful in big battles. Even though they’re not frequent, I did have a battleship outfitted with like 8-9 turrets when SysDef invaded the Key. My turrets were goin buckwild firing all over the place and I was blastin peeps into oblivion while just cruising forward slowly along at 10 MPH lmao. But yeah, it was totally worth it.
The best ship to start with is the Shieldbreaker, it was somewhere in the 200k credits range but was well worth the purchase, it has high grade systems to start with, and you only really need to upgrade the reactor and shield to C class and maybe just add one more missile pod so it has 2 and you are set.
@@RubberStig Another Shieldbreaker is on the vendor again, price tag 273,834 credits, Class B reactor with 27 base power, the shield is one of the top 3 in terms of stats, the lasers are automatic and it has 3 which max out the power bar, it has one rail gun and one rocket pod for system lock targeting, 5 crew slots, and the engines go very high, only 3 bars short of max, it goes fast. I took out the legendary level 55 battleship with Shieldbreaker, once I figured out how to deal with the escorts first, without getting destroyed in the process. That was before I upgraded the reactor and shield to C class. I uploaded 2 short clips of deconstructing the ship, if you want to see the layout, the old setup was what got me through the legendary battle, the newer setup has higher mass with more cargo, and I trimmed down the habitats to only the main 3 you need.
the turrets are probably best placed aiming sideways on your ship with your main guns facing forward... that way your main guns do the bulk of the damage with the turrets hitting them if they fly past you.
That's what I did on mine and it's so far just tearing through large groups of ships. I did four particle beam lasers and four vanguard hellfire autocannons facing forward with two particle beam turrets on each side for a total of four. I'm covered on three sides and I'm finding that the turrets alone are getting about a third of the kills, finishing off the ships as they fly by during a joust.
Whilst I can understand for "balancing reasons" they limit yourself to four weapons per weapon type (ballistic, lasers, missiles), I really was kinda disappointed to find out I cannot just make a ship a few hundred meters long, with a heavy, HEAVY amount of weaponry. Same goes for the engines, because of the way they make the reactors and power allocation you can only have four at max, which... Does really suck. Cannot wait for mods to exist that removes those limits and allows us to build proper space battleships!
I can’t wait for Star Wats mods - flying a Bell Star Destroyer or even an Imperator - both designed to have lots of weapons but capable of piloted with less than 500 men if situations called for it
Soon as I finish off the last few ships I need to fully upgrade my pilot skill, this is exactly what I'm gonna do to the Kepler. My main B class ship is already a massive monster but I'm gonna go full-on with the Kepler
So far I managed to build a Class C with 90 munervability, everything maxed except 2 off of Reactor and 2 off of Grav. Has over 1000 cargo. Carries 9 passengers. It's a beast.
My favorite bridges are the two stories with stairs in them. I hate ladders. Also for best maneuverability, keep your speed in the White area next to the speed gauge. If you try to turn at max thrust it takes three times as long.
The turrets are for hitting targets you aren't focusing on , they also only cover a cone they don't turn 360 so you need to point them in the direction you want them to cover , if you want a tail gun (the best use of them) you need to put it on the rear pointed backwards and it will hit who ever pulls in behind you
Just a tip, you can have up to 12 particle beam turrets on your ship as long as you have a different type for each fire button. For example 4 of 1 type for RT or right click, 4 of another type for LT or left click etc. I have a 500k custom ship that had 12 of those turrets, decided to change 8 for forward facing auto particle beams and keep 4 turrets for blind spots.
One thing I thought that would be cool is if you could Bluetooth your phone to console and it would interface with the game and you could control your ship power levels on your phone. Have found it cumbersome to quickly change power levels in dogfights and it would be a really cool feature to just be shifting levels with a finger
the turrets only have a 90 degree firing angle, so which direction they're facing, and the overall placement makes a huge difference. Having some turrets facing forward and some facing backward is the only way to give maximum firing coverage. This is an issue which only really shows up on larger ships, as they take longer to turn.
LevelCap: I think we ran into a pirate base or something Me: Yeah, you literally jumped to THE pirate base, the Crimson Fleet's star station. Their MAIN base. HOME base even. The HQ if you will.
I modled a ship slightly based of warhammer ship design that uses 4 particle turrets and 4 class c missle racks can 2 to 3 shot most high level ships not to mention not having to worry about the turrets firing through shield and hull its crazy
The Key is the main base of the crimson fleet. Get arrested or join the Vanguard and progress so you can get this cool questline where you can go undercover.
Speed at midway point is better for fast maneuvering, keeping it at max means overshooting target and then slow to turn to reacquire them, my tactic is to keep the speed midway and use boost to play catch up if needed then reducing back to midway.
Awesome video, I like the idea that there should be option for auto turret to have switch between full auto or only attack what you attack or lock on. also wish they add the ability for crews to escape using escape pods. This way you can capture the enemy pirate pods and send them to jail for credits. at same time you could be caught on your pod, when your ship blows up. there is so many potential.
Thank you for this video. I am so going for some auto turrets, I have always stayed away from them before, but not after this video. Only problem I can see is you will not be able to board an enemy ship as the turrets will just blow everything away before you can disable the engines for boarding.

the automatic guns might do more damage... but only because of how quickly they can react... often attacking things before a player could but they do less damage per shot... and lack of control doesn't matter when everything is dead very quickly... usually your only fighting like 2-3 ships at a time and turrets make very quick work of them... and in large scale battles turrets are even better because they can fire in more directions.
@@arcanumelite4853 You are forgetting the difference in fire rate
for example the PB 100 Neutron Beam does 29.89 dmg at a fire rate of 2.5
vs the PB Auto Neutron Beam Turret at 20.79 dmg at a fire rate of 5
to directly compare them you must convert the fire rates to be equal, so the turret would be doing 41 dmg at 2.5 vs the manual at 29
The turrets feel like to me like they really want you to use them with the skill but they're quite cool either way. I love your design's aesthetic!
The Extended warranty NPC is by far the best easter egg I've found so far... and I'm sure there are more, but this one makes me laugh EVERY DAMN TIME!! lmao
HAH!! "We've been trying to contact you...." That was AWESOME!!!!
You may also want to look into getting a better reactor. The strongest reactors I have found are at the vendor on the planet Gargarin in the same system as New Atlantis. There is also a perk at the end of the Science tree that can increase your reactor output by 1 at first tier and by 5 at tier 4.
if you want a fatser turning speed its similiar to jet flying in bf4 going down to about mid speed accelerating and de-accelerating helps your turning greatly
That's one thing but the main thing is to hold down RB (on controller, not sure what on keyboard) and you can turn faster with side jets!
really hope they add a mothership and building/owning a starbase to the expansion
That would be fucking sick
I thought the same thing in my first hour of game play. We are talking battlestar level ship. With docking bays you actually have to dock to to enter the ship.
I want a ship so damn big you see it in orbit from the surface of the planet. LOL
or even have its own starbase/shipmanufacurer company :D u can build ships for sale (get contracts with part distributors) so u can build with any part and new ones :D + other players can buy the ships too at a vendor :D the shop has more categories new/best rated/Class etc.. u get some credits and in terms of other players buying your ships u get a % of credits :D i guess starting its own faction would be also cool :D having options of a handfull planets that support life :D and then advance from then on to start mining etc. or through story u get something so u can terraform a planet of anykind (goldilock zone required) to make it liveable
@@superdave8248 Sounds like you need to play EVE or Star Citizen lol
@urgaiey1358 I literally said this out loud before I saw your comment 😂

Randomly jumps to The Key, the crimson fleet's home base 😂
"We've been trying to contact you about your extended warranty" 😭😭 lol Well played Bethesda lol that's hilarious 😂
Here's a handy tip: when constructing your turret, consider positioning them broadside, facing both sides. This arrangement enables you to simultaneously target multiple adversaries. You can place four turrets on one flank and another four on the opposite side. If your vessel can accommodate more, go ahead and maximize your firepower. This strategic approach allows you to effectively engage and defend against an entire fleet of enemy ships but do keep in mind that it demands substantial components for successful implementation. I demonstrated this On a Twitch stream.
I like the auto turrets because it feels like its what my crew is using to attack instead of me being the only source of damage. (i know thats not the case but its fun to think its being manned by my crew lol)
Yeah, thats why on my 3 warships i have Battlestations and turrets.
(Im a UC guy, so the entire crew gets UC naval uniforms and berets)
@@PeterMuskrat6968Whaaat? I did not know that you can choose outfits for your crew!

0:38 - Bireme - old Roman warship with two superimposed rows of oars. By-reem.
8:13 - Each landing gear has "Lander Thrust". Each one = 200 tons. Best gear i've found has 4 thrust. So 4 of them will hold ship of 4 * 4 * 200 = 3200 tons. And you can place it on the same size - look fun )
9:58 - ship repair is not 0 by default (like medpack), it's O. Not zero, it's letter O.
Biremes predate the Romans by several centuries. The Phoenicians had them around 700 BCE.
@@libertasanletum rome as a sovereign polity has existed since at least 753 BC when it was established as a monarchy that would last until 509 BC when it became a republic.

Rebel Galaxy is a great game if you like battleships. A real treat grinding from the starting ship to massive battle cruisers.
"Your ships extended warranty is about to expire"
hahahhahahhah!!!!!
7:49 totally agreed. Even just an option to view the interior before you buy.
That made me laugh out loud when he asked about your extended warranty. Hilarious. You might try putting the auto lock turrets on the top and bottom, that way when you're turning, you'll always have weapons that can hit them.
Warning: "You didn't equip your ship's weapons"
Level: "Ha, you think I can read!?"
Imagine if the DLC added more weapon types. Like say..... a Drone controller for combat drones among other things, or because i can't resist the urge to do this in ANY SPACE GAME, Build a Carrier, all be it a VERY small one.
Hm, drone system instead of missiles. They swarm a target and stay for a few seconds before suiciding. Could be super useful for those lower level ships while we focus on the stronger ones manually.
@@RyMann88would definitely be better in place of the missiles, which suck
yooo combat drones sound sick
In my experience, it’s best to prioritize two weapon slots and either leave the third one empty or make it a conditional weapon. For me, my third slot is EM for boarding ships. The rest are Particle Cannons, which, when prioritized, will shred enemy shields and hull like paper.
My guy just obliterated the Crimson Fleet, LMAO.
I did that with an unmodded star eagle
The name 'Bireme' (pronounced Bye-reem) is the name for an ancient class of warships from Greece, Mesopotamia, Cyprus, etc. Mainly Mediterranean nations. They were named specifically for the rows of oars they used to propel themselves forward when not under sail.
Bireme: Two rows of oars. (Usually had one central mast and sail)
Trireme: Three rows of oars. (Two masts and sails)
Quadreme: Four rows of oars. (Three masts and sails)
Octoreme: Eight rows of oars. (These were the largest warships of the ancient world and served as flagships for national navies) (4 masts and sails)
Up until the 1800s it was common belief that only Bireme type vessels could safely navigate the Mediterranean Sea and thus they were still in use up until the age of steam.
Hoplites were Greek spearmen, usually considered veteran soldiers or 'elites'.
Phalanx was a Roman tactic which consisted of Roman soldiers creating a 'wall' with their shields and sticking their spears (or pilums) through the gaps in the shields to deter enemy cavalry or infantry charge. This tactic was later revived by armies of Empires such as France and England to 'form squares' with spears, pikes, and later bayonets leveled and out to deter horse-mounted charges.
Gladius is a Roman short sword often issued to Gladiators in the Colosseum.
Aegis is a mythological goatskin cloak often associated with Zeus and Athene (Greek) or their Roman equivalents (Jupiter and Minerva). In modern terms, an Aegis is a shield or protection.
Deimos in Greek mythology is the son of Ares and Aphrodite, brother of Phobos and the ancient Greek personification of terror and fear.
Seeing a trend in the starship naming.
There's class C reactors with 40 generation (plus whatever you get from the skill if you have it). Also, if you joined UC they have some sick stuff, namely the Vanguard shield. It's a class B, but has an insane 1450 hit points and is tiny, basically a porthole. They also have some nice weapons. I recommend building a outpost with the large landing pad and customizing there, that is where I have access to the actual top end stuff. IE- my class C ships have 30ly, 3000 cargo, 100 mobility, full weapon hard points, I forget how much hull but over 1500 iirc, etc.
it killed me the first time i heard "the we have been trying to reach you about your ships extended warranty" i was like even in space 300+ years later you still can escape these MFs lol.
Looks like the x03 from stargate sg1. Very cool design.
Dude, how do you know what a starborn is but not the key? And if you keep thurst im the middle the White field the ship turn faster. Good ship design :) gave a lot of ideas:) to find out more about the Key, get arrested in a uc controlled area, Just Steal a cup or smt from a shop :)
Anybody else thinks lvl's first battleship looked like an Imperial Star Destroyer?
Like flat long ship with bridge at a stern? Most ships looks like that. You need visible triangle form to do SD, almost impossible in that game.
Man really just pulled up to the main crimson fleet base unknowingly
80m is the largest a ship can be and land on planets. if they had a shuttle system allowing for larger ships we could probably solo the entire navy of all the factions combined.
I hope they release a ship building model kit, so we can create our favorite creations in real life.🤞
Yeah the building system is actually way more limited than I was hoping for. Besides just new modules that modders can eventually do, there are a lot of limitations imposed by the system and some things like being unable to rotate parts is frustrating.
The only thing I'm iffy about is part orientation, since as a non-coder I don't really know whether that is fixable by mods or not. Otherwise the system should be plenty customizable enough to meaningfully expand past the limitations of the core game parts.
You can rotate parts
@@Chris-ve3hz yes, but only across one axis, even though some parts look like they should be able to mirror across two. The white dwarf engines for example can only mirror vertically, even though their design should allow for horizontal mirroring too. That's what OP and I mean by 'being unable to rotate'.
Well some limitations are for balance. Especially reactors, grav drives and shields.
@@nextgen3ric You actually can rotate some parts on multiple axis' but yes I agree more options would be better.
There's another turret in the "obliterator" series that you can only have 3 of. Deals 200 shield + hull damage for each one for a max of 600 to both lol, using those with the 4 you grabbed and then 6 of the vanguard particle guns. Shields don't exist anymore and everything is shredded to bits
You also have to remember to put long, thin, light segments, many stacked end-to-end, off of the top and specifically just one side and not the other, that way nobody can hit you XD
The long sword looks like the Longsword ship from Halo Reach
yeah, make more Battleship builds! was thinking something like a WW2 battleship! big, slow but tough ships with 3x triple turret guns and a bunch of point defense machine guns!
Did you there is a fast travel option so you dont need to upgrade your ship at all ? 😂
Your design for a ship looks very similar to a Homeworld Kushan Assault Frigate. Niiice...
Having a fast, maneuverable, and huge, ship IS possible...but the bigger you are, the faster you're taken down when facing multiple ships (the bigger you are the easier to hit).
I took a C-class Generator and Shield (1200 shield power), 4 Disruptor Auto Turrets, 6 Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojectors, and a tiny class A grav drive. The ONLY Hab components I had were a 2x1 Control station, and a 1x1 companion way. I used the stock cockpit.
Keeping the silhouette as small as possible, and keeping my speed around 100, I was able to solo 5 Vanguard ships without ever taking Hull damage, in under 90 seconds.
Your creation is definitely giving "Prometheus" vibes from Stargate: SG1. the first space ship of the Tau'ri, and it was a light battle carrier. Yours is almost a dead ringer for that ship, on the visual end at least.
That being said, is it not possible to face the turrets backwards? they seem to only have a 90 degree arc. I get the distinct impression those turrets are more for point defense.
Something I recommend with turrets is having 3 and going with ballistics as the main weapon that way to focus on multiple targets and missiles don’t hurt at as well. Locking on to the target that your turrets are fighting is fun as well
LOL I just finished a long quest chain involving the Key. That’s the Crimson Fleet’s HQ. 😂
You’re right about turrets being useful in big battles. Even though they’re not frequent, I did have a battleship outfitted with like 8-9 turrets when SysDef invaded the Key.
My turrets were goin buckwild firing all over the place and I was blastin peeps into oblivion while just cruising forward slowly along at 10 MPH lmao. But yeah, it was totally worth it.
The best ship to start with is the Shieldbreaker, it was somewhere in the 200k credits range but was well worth the purchase, it has high grade systems to start with, and you only really need to upgrade the reactor and shield to C class and maybe just add one more missile pod so it has 2 and you are set.
Mine cost me 279000 credits. Class B. 5 crew slots. Great ship Carried me quite a way.
@@RubberStig Another Shieldbreaker is on the vendor again, price tag 273,834 credits, Class B reactor with 27 base power, the shield is one of the top 3 in terms of stats, the lasers are automatic and it has 3 which max out the power bar, it has one rail gun and one rocket pod for system lock targeting, 5 crew slots, and the engines go very high, only 3 bars short of max, it goes fast.
I took out the legendary level 55 battleship with Shieldbreaker, once I figured out how to deal with the escorts first, without getting destroyed in the process. That was before I upgraded the reactor and shield to C class.
I uploaded 2 short clips of deconstructing the ship, if you want to see the layout, the old setup was what got me through the legendary battle, the newer setup has higher mass with more cargo, and I trimmed down the habitats to only the main 3 you need.
@@vale18 Thats awesome! I'm off to check out your clips!! Thanks!! 🙂
“We have been trying to contact you about your ships extended warranty”.
Scariest moment in the game so far. 😂
😂
the turrets are probably best placed aiming sideways on your ship with your main guns facing forward... that way your main guns do the bulk of the damage with the turrets hitting them if they fly past you.
That's what I did on mine and it's so far just tearing through large groups of ships. I did four particle beam lasers and four vanguard hellfire autocannons facing forward with two particle beam turrets on each side for a total of four. I'm covered on three sides and I'm finding that the turrets alone are getting about a third of the kills, finishing off the ships as they fly by during a joust.
Whilst I can understand for "balancing reasons" they limit yourself to four weapons per weapon type (ballistic, lasers, missiles), I really was kinda disappointed to find out I cannot just make a ship a few hundred meters long, with a heavy, HEAVY amount of weaponry. Same goes for the engines, because of the way they make the reactors and power allocation you can only have four at max, which... Does really suck. Cannot wait for mods to exist that removes those limits and allows us to build proper space battleships!
I can imagine the chaos and destruction. Ahh.
The ships actually look cooler than I thought they would. I'm looking forward to getting some upgrades.
Looks for pirates to test out a new ship and casually waltzes into the Crimson Fleet HQ 😂
I can’t wait for Star Wats mods - flying a Bell Star Destroyer or even an Imperator - both designed to have lots of weapons but capable of piloted with less than 500 men if situations called for it
"It looks like I ran into a pirate base? The Key?" LOL
Seems like turrets make it impossible to disable engines and dock with ships. I’d imagine it’d kill them before u could dock.
I knew I’d like ship building… didn’t expect I’d LOVE it 😅
I love how he pops up at the Crimson Fleets Starbase lol
Imagine building a carrier? That would be insane!
Soon as I finish off the last few ships I need to fully upgrade my pilot skill, this is exactly what I'm gonna do to the Kepler. My main B class ship is already a massive monster but I'm gonna go full-on with the Kepler
Bros ship looks like a miniature Star destroyer
So far I managed to build a Class C with 90 munervability, everything maxed except 2 off of Reactor and 2 off of Grav. Has over 1000 cargo. Carries 9 passengers. It's a beast.
My favorite bridges are the two stories with stairs in them. I hate ladders. Also for best maneuverability, keep your speed in the White area next to the speed gauge. If you try to turn at max thrust it takes three times as long.
The turrets are for hitting targets you aren't focusing on , they also only cover a cone they don't turn 360 so you need to point them in the direction you want them to cover , if you want a tail gun (the best use of them) you need to put it on the rear pointed backwards and it will hit who ever pulls in behind you
Amazing video, really helped me out. If anyone is stuck with any missions that requires a powerful ship. This is the video to watch!
Tthat ship towards the end looks cool too. It looks like a flying aircraft carrier.
Just a tip, you can have up to 12 particle beam turrets on your ship as long as you have a different type for each fire button.
For example 4 of 1 type for RT or right click, 4 of another type for LT or left click etc.
I have a 500k custom ship that had 12 of those turrets, decided to change 8 for forward facing auto particle beams and keep 4 turrets for blind spots.
7:28 Perfectionist with 56% of mobility, and to get in the cockpit you have to cross all the ship.
One thing I thought that would be cool is if you could Bluetooth your phone to console and it would interface with the game and you could control your ship power levels on your phone. Have found it cumbersome to quickly change power levels in dogfights and it would be a really cool feature to just be shifting levels with a finger
the turrets only have a 90 degree firing angle, so which direction they're facing, and the overall placement makes a huge difference. Having some turrets facing forward and some facing backward is the only way to give maximum firing coverage. This is an issue which only really shows up on larger ships, as they take longer to turn.
LevelCap: I think we ran into a pirate base or something
Me: Yeah, you literally jumped to THE pirate base, the Crimson Fleet's star station. Their MAIN base. HOME base even. The HQ if you will.
I modled a ship slightly based of warhammer ship design that uses 4 particle turrets and 4 class c missle racks can 2 to 3 shot most high level ships not to mention not having to worry about the turrets firing through shield and hull its crazy
My guy actually went straight into the crimson fleet homebase lol
The Key is the main base of the crimson fleet. Get arrested or join the Vanguard and progress so you can get this cool questline where you can go undercover.
Speed at midway point is better for fast maneuvering, keeping it at max means overshooting target and then slow to turn to reacquire them, my tactic is to keep the speed midway and use boost to play catch up if needed then reducing back to midway.
Your last ship reminds me of the Prometheus from Stargate
"I think we ram into a pirate base or something..." you ram into THE pirate base. The Crimson Fleet base😅
The "commerce" in the game is surprisingly balanced. You can build a decent ship for fairly cheap if you don't over do it
Whenever a ryan Reynolds mint mobile add comes up I always watch it all the way. Your welcome g
This mans made the starfield equivalent of a fire nation navy ship
Just casually randomly attacking The Key... lol :D
I can’t wait for the RSI Perseus
Awesome video, I like the idea that there should be option for auto turret to have switch between full auto or only attack what you attack or lock on. also wish they add the ability for crews to escape using escape pods. This way you can capture the enemy pirate pods and send them to jail for credits. at same time you could be caught on your pod, when your ship blows up. there is so many potential.
Your custom battleship design kinda reminds me of the Prometheus fro. Stargate!
Can you face those auto turrets to the aft and hit ships that get behind you? Because that would be beneficial on a ship with low maneuverability
Thank you for this video. I am so going for some auto turrets, I have always stayed away from them before, but not after this video. Only problem I can see is you will not be able to board an enemy ship as the turrets will just blow everything away before you can disable the engines for boarding.
That's hilarious that you just ran into the Crimson Fleet base without even doing that questline
