why do you lie to us in the "About" section of your Channel that you're from the "United States", when your accent CLEARLY reveals that... *YOU ARE NOT ?? :)* .
@@LuckyGhost somewhere NOT in the US. Though I should have been more clear: I don't dispute you're located in the US (altho I can't know for sure...) However I'm CERTAIN that you're *originally* from ELSEWHERE. :) .
Same here!!! I'm 64 and unencumbered but I still work a 40 hour week and I pulled an all-nighter Thursday night at release (had to work Friday) and Monday night before going back into work on Tuesday morning. This work stuff is really irritating me. I am at least back to regular sleeping hours now. 😵💫
You also don’t have to “favorite” your cutter. When in scan mode, simply pull right trigger and you will automatically equip the cutter. Turn off scan mode and you automatically go back to your weapon.
Yeah, but after selling my good statted one, I started hotkeying it. Having to fly back to buy back “my own” expensive Cutter for net 90% of the top value was a lesson that saved me from selling anything equipped since, because all my good gear is equipped. (Unless I'm saving something in the Constellation house Safe.) I still run around in scan mode usually anyway, so cutter is already out & ready to fire.
I didn't die many times in this game, but when I did, it was almost every time because of this fckn cutter coming up while I was attacked by something in scan mode, lol.
I grabbed a long range silenced high dam rifle in my first side mish. I'd shoot low level enemies and they'd pretty much fidget trying to find me until they're half dead…
Some of you may have seen this already but make a save before clicking on the mannequin that has the mantis suit on it. You can reroll the unique qualities of the suit for an epic suit. EDIT: just for clarification the suit will always be legendary, the three perks for each part of the armor is what you can reroll through saving and RNG.
Damn I should've done that. Oh well, I'll know for the 2nd playthrough. I got the suit but my current suite had...has better qualities so I don't even use it lol.
Once you get a part of the suit that has the perks you want, can you take that part and re-save then keep re-rolling until you get the next roll you want? Or is it when you take 1 piece the rest wont re-roll?
An addition to the vanguard mission for killing ships... you can also level up your security skill for lockpicking with the same simulation. I believe you will need at least advanced lockpicking to do this. Go to the simulation, sit in the cockpit to start the simulation, stand back up and go towards the exit, behind you there is a console on the wall with an option to hack the terminal. Solve, exit simulation, re enter, repeat.... for anyone interested
If you want a really good ship early ish, do the mantis quest and then to get an even better ship, do the freestar rangers quest. The star eagle from the rangers faction quest is hands down one of the best ships you get as a reward in the fame. Everything is at the top of A class straight away with over 2000 storage...
@TempusVulpi I upgraded the hell out of my razor leaf lol.😂 she's ugly and slower now though. What did you add? I upgraded storage to 1600 my LY is 17 now and 99 maneuver. I'm still learning
@curtislaketek2952 man, I deleted everything and built the Millenium Falcon. My character is named Han Solo so it only made sense. Best 800k I have spent in the game so far haha
@@leburger5160 that's awesome!! I don't have building skills to be able to know how and what to connect haha. I can maybe make a dales dead bug van ship lol
DO NOT place weapons on weapon racks or display armor/helmets on display racks! If you have items a on display and change your home ship or edit your ship; all of the items will be deleted. For example - i had a TON of legendary and epic weapons after about 5 hours of playing. The Mantis ship comes with tons of weapons and armor in its armoury and I removed the default weapons and armor on display and replaced it with my own. I edited the mantis in ship builder AND changed homenships. I lost EVERYTHING that was not in the ships cargo hold. Be careful out there fellow fliers!!
I recall doing this with cheap misc stuff and guns that I was hoarding. Not as big of a loss, but I was trying to use alien eggs to remake the movie on a base.
Can I just say when you hide your space suit it only hides it from you. The NPC's still sees you in a spacesuit (You will hear them comment on it sometimes). later in one of the quest you will be given an outfit that gives you 20% less chance of being seen (No spoilers) I used it for most of my first run and it never worked very well because I turned on "hide space suit" then found out you have to unselect you spacesuit and use the clothing with the 20% perk for it work. Your welcome. 😉😉
Auto Save... LOL I NEVER forget to do a quick save. When I was in CAD school the instructor every once in a while would go out to electrical breakers and flip the switch to our class room. This means we would lose ALL our progress that day IF we did not save. This was in the 90s when battery back up was not a thing. Anyway THAT was a lesson learned and now I am constantly saving everything... EVERYTHING!
Now I’m wondering what the citizens inside might be thinking looking out their windows and seeing some idiot bouncing off their station multiple times? Lol!
Companions only need 1 bullet of ammo, grenade, mine, etc. They will never run out. (Also, make sure you are equipping items on companions. *Y on controller* Trading with them does not always equip it)
I like that items you steal, you can sell to the Trade Authority and buy it back for the same price and now the item is no longer marked stolen. Just don't exit the buy sell menu. Also you can get cool weapons from vendors by using another object you pick up, like a trashcan. Knock the weapon to the floor and push it into a backroom where there is nobody and pick that item up.
@@gogglez61you have to pick the bucket up while you are hidden, while usually maneuvering so it's upside-down...It's tedious. If by chance you drop the bucket or set it down mid try,you can't pick the bucket up again(unless you're hidden)
3:23 There's also the Panacea; a fourth item that looks like a medpack, but instantly heals all health and removes all ailments, at the cost of knocking the air out of you (you lose all current O²).
Another trick is using the razoleaf lore, even if you completely rebuild the ship from the ground up the enemies will still recognize it as the razorleaf.
Med kits does not weigh. You could stack them to the thousand if you decide due to cutting weight. If not worried about personal mass then I'd definitely recommend stocking up on trauma or emergency kits
Great tip in my opinion level up pickpocket asap, its very fun and overpowered. Pretty much all the main npcs you encounter will have around 1000 credits on them little over or under. They will also have main mission items that are hard to steal, however if you just quck save before doing it and reload when you mess up you can pretty much pickpocket everything and even avoid monotonous missions or tasks. 10/10 recommend.
I bought an expensive sniper rifle with a silencer and am rank 3/4 with stealth. Can sometimes clear an entire room with little dink headshots while hidden I love it
If you do get caught with contraband, pay the fine and itll spawn you next to the room with the safe holding it, ateal it back and they might even have some extra contrband and then go to wolf and get your money back for the fine. I learned that yesterday.
You don’t have to pay fine. Just gladly go with them then steal all your stuff back. Easiest fuckin thing cause then you go directly to their trade authority.
Will add: I wasn't able to go to The Den before going to New Atlantis. I found contraband after killing the pirate, and it was taken on entering NA, BUT I found it in a locked chest in the Spaceport, behind your ship. 🥰
If you’re starting a new play through, another good way to level piloting is actually taking the Wanted trait. Level 12 Ecliptic ships will show up to hunt you pretty often when you jump into a system and you can kill those and make a bit of money while you’re at it. You can also pay them like 500 credits to make them go away. Also, when leveling stealth, use an automatic weapon with a suppressor. You can land several sneak attacks in quick succession and absolutely erase those challenges.
Those ships provide good XP or if on planet (after you kill the bounty hunters) OR if you board them- though sometimes they appear when you jump to a patrolled planet so you have 'help' when you kill them! Anyway they quite frequently carry contraband on them... you can't steal their ships though, it says unauthorized when you sit in the captains chair no matter what skills you have or even if sure you'd killed everybody.
Also using non lethal weapons to take down story characters doesnt count as killing so if u failed that persuasion check just knock em out if u want them around later.
@13:20 WARNING Regarding dropping excess items on the floor of your ship. Keep in mind that if you do this and then go into Ship Editor and make any changes at all to your ship, things loose on the floor will disappear forever. The only way to avoid this is to load all those items onto yourself (or normal cargo space which you obviously probably don't have if you are storing them on the ship deck), then edit your ship, and then go back in and drop the items back on the ship's deck. I lost a bunch of loose resources doing this.
@@timothyhedrick5295 Yes. Everything will go into whatever your new home ship's inventory, even over the max. You can change from a class C freighter to your starter ship and have like 3599/400 in your ship's inventory.
@@kalmarnagyandras It says that, but it doesn't do that. Items you drop are gone forever. The default items that come with a module get put in storage (even if you removed them earlier). It'll probably get fixed at some point, maybe.
Before you land on a planet, or before you go into a place like a lab or settlement ( that has the icon that does the same thing as you go in the caves, the short teleport), you can put your game on very hard to make the game spawn legendary aliens or humans, then after you land you can switch to easy or very easy to kill them easily but with the same loot and exp as the very hard difficulty.
Just play on very hard Im level 21 upgraded the frontier have 9 different upgraded weapons that melt enemies tons of heals and materials and lik 120k it’s such an easy game
Some of these I already knew about and figured out, and the ones I didn't know are useful. Another quick tip is that u don't have the have ur cutter bound to a hotkey, as long as u have it in ur inventory u can open ur scanner and either left or right click to auto equip it without having to bind it to a key, it's useful if u like to have hotkeys more accessible for other stuff in ur inventory.
Early on I think ppl should check the basement of the constellation group faction and there are a couple of storage containers down there I think it's smart to leave a lot of ur resources and wanna keep for possible future research projects down there in those. Or on Mars! the red devils have a base that is very similar once going through some of the missions which to start go through the vanguard missions. Or u.c. Then they have some storage containers in there too and u can leave ur resources and things there too for future research projects there too . Also u can sell everything in that room to a guy in there plus take all items off ur ship regularly cuz they reload . U can take them over and over and sell them to the guy in the red devil base. Plus all items in constellation base u can take and they aren't stolen so u can sell them too ! These things can help a person early on just get some extra funds for like ammo and weapons and things u'll need to get through missions at 1st. And I'm just suggesting these things to do before u start an outpost and have storage containers of ur own there. Cuz once u do that u can just keep all ur stuff at ur own outposts in ur own storages containers . Thought this could be helpful for ppl that have never played and are starting the game from scratch.
@@tonyVotino Very illegal items, ai research, human organs, Va’ruun propaganda and the like. It’ll show a yellow square in the corner if it is contraband.
Tip: changing the module where your captains locker storage is located will make you lose everything in it. They definitely need to fix this asap. I lost my moon snow globe and other pretty cool stuff that way
The big storage crate in the lodge basement doesn't appear until you hit a specific, sad spot in the main quest. Then that chest appears with specific items which you can claim for yourself, and then use the storage.
True, but I have a habit of selling all weapons that aren't equipped and/or favorited and if my cutter isn't at least favorited, I may not have it when I need it later.
You can take gas from gas vents, but not in scanner mode. Just loot it like a tree or chest (but NOT in scanner mode. yes you can loot anything else with scanner on, but not this)
@@shanewilliams4614all that's been fixed, everything picks up in scanner mode, HOWEVER, you don't see credits pop up, like an item. Just point at it and click, it still picks up. 👍
When you are building your base you can link extractors and containers by just right clicking (I don't know what the game pad shortcut is) on one and connecting it with the other when you are still in build mode. It's easier and faster.
Omg the flight sim, amazing. I was saving that quest line until I ranked up piloting… but that’s bass ackwards! Thanks always for your amazing vids Lucky
You can use the computer in the flight sim to make the sim easier so you can clear every wave very quickly, in addition you can hack the computer which will increase your security without having to find a lock, or hack a bank terminal. Two birds with one stone.
Thank you Bethesda for giving us an absolutely EPIC game. I’m 30 hours in and I’m in love with this game. I’m enjoying it more than any previous Fallout or Elder Scrolls game I’ve played and that’s saying a lot. There’s so much to this game and so much to do and Bethesda hit a home run. Now that this game is such a huge success, it only means better things to come in the future for Elder Scrolls and Fallout. WINNING!
I totally agree, i played fallout alot but starfield really has me reading everything and picking up all the lore items / collecting every item/ scanning everything on every planet. Such a fun game love it cant wait to see how they update it throughout the years
@@LuckyGhost No, thank you! With your reach this easily missed detail about the cutter can finally get the wings it deserves. You are the first creator I have seen covering this after tens of "Top 10 tips you should know" or the like. This is such a time saver when you are doing a manual mining run. Thank you for your work, sir!
With the piloting skill using the simulator, you can also increase skills for laser weapons, ballistic, and missles as well as there is another skill that's upgraded with ship kills as well.
To make those UC Flight Simulators a little easier/quicker, you can edit the parameters of the simulation (more shields, add an ally etc.), there is a terminal on board as soon as your start the simulation a little ahead and to the left once you get out of your seat (note: you can hack it to get more out of it to)
Good video. The biggest mistake I made on my first playthrough was a mistake common to RPG - and that’s thinking of upgrade points in a ‘average is better’ manner. For instance, in Fallout 4, putting a lot of points in LUCK will give you a way easier time than not doing this. In Starfield, I eventually got to the low 60’s in terms of levels, but I had ‘wasted’ any number of upgrade points by trying to do everything. The base building mechanic in Fallout was clunky; in Starfield, it is better but still clunky. And a lot of the material you might mine at this or that outpost you set up, you can buy at various stores. So, if you know yourself, and your joy and zen comes from combat, then geez, then go with a combat character. You must upgrade Piloting, but you do not have to upgrade Targeting Weapon Systems (for instance). You do have to have a point in Boostpack to use a boostpack, but you don’t need more than one point. The main problem is that Starfield does not allow you to re-spec your points - at all, ever. So, even in NG+, you may have points in areas you never use. I put a point in Isolation - sure, you get some buffs in combat, but I enjoy having my partner around to sleep with and get that buff. So, I am into a third new start (not NG+) playthrough where I am selecting points based on my playstyle. Sure, its nice to do the unlocking doors and chests mini-game, but none of the loot in chests was worth fully upgrading this. Similarly, you can avoid a lot of combat by fully upgrading Persuasion, but this is a crap idea if you like combat. Points into outpost management or planetary habitation, as mentioned, take points away, ultimately, from something else. Think of the game this way - there is the main mission and the many wonderful side missions. But you can have combat related skills OR outpost management related skills OR ship building related skills. You can maybe have most of two of these, but not all three of these. And your choices here also depend on your difficulty level - at the harder levels, the space combat really gets tough unless you are putting alot of points into shields and ship weapons and starship design. The one of these big three that has very little to do with overall mission success is, well, outpost engineering. Baddies get harder as the difficutly level gets harder. You might want to put lots of points into Research trees to upgrade your weapons or spacesuit or speed the pace of research - again, the game is way more forgiving at Very Easy or Easy - but as you ramp up the difficulty, you really want to be stingy with points and find a groove that is your playstyle, because you literally cannot do it all. AND since you can’t re-spec, you might find yourself deep into the game, and then discover the parts of the game you adore, and have wasted a bunch of points in areas you don’t enjoy.
Becoming a Jack-of-all-trades is usually a mistake in most RPGs because of level cap restrictions, but there’s no respec option in Starfield or Fallout 4 simply because they have no soft/hard level caps. The only real “waste” is not getting a skill that could be progressed naturally over time. I’ve heard him mention in two different videos he didn’t take the Pilot skill on his first character, so all the ships he destroyed didn’t count for when he did finally get it. Even if a player doesn’t plan to design a ship or start building outposts early on, I’d still say it’s worth getting those skills anyway. If they change their mind to focus on those more, they’ll have at least some amount of progress done toward them, and reaching rank 2 or even 3 really isn’t that much trouble. There’s a lot of ships to destroy out in space, and even just placing an outpost beacon and a couple simple structures around it still count as “building an outpost” for the purpose of the skill progression.
Random feature I noticed, there’s some sort of minor TTS for certain character names. For example I named my character “Walker” and VASCO spoke it during my first launch. Small but appreciated
@@logang1963 you can change your characters name whenever you want by going to the enhance store and paying 500 credits... you can skip the character customization part and at the end it will allow you to change your name
@luckyghost don’t forget to mention that the med kits are probably better to stock up on because they do not collect mass, very good thing to keep an eye on when you’re scavenging or when you want multiple choices of weapons in a battle. You can also build bounty clearing and mission consoles in your outpost.
Right in front of the Research workbench is another infinite storage crate on the table. There are 3 more infinite ammo crates by the Weapon workbench. I am surprised that not many videos include them.
Thank you for the hiding spacesuit tip! I took off my suit in town one time so my casual gear would show, then fast jumped to another planet later on. With no spacesuit, I nearly died. I realized my mistake right away and snapped it back on but I felt pretty stupid. LOL
Adding to that, if you are doing the Crimson Fleet mission Absolute Power in Neon City (slight spoilers) Obviously you can do it all guns blazing but killing anything, even a robot will result in you being kicked out of Sysdef and declared an enemy. This does not mean you can't travel to UC systems but it does mean you don't get to choose between them and the Crimson Fleet. So you must do a 100% stealth mission in the Generdyne facility. Unless you've maxed out the Stealth perk, then it's easier to just remove your suit, helmet and pack, then unequip your gun, this majorly reduces the sound you make and makes it so much easier to sneak undetected. The mission is still a PITA but doable.
Walked out of an airlock on Mars with no helmet or pack on, took me almost a minute to figure out what happened. Also found out the Pack is your O2, not just a jet pack.
I've seen alot of videos that give the "drop on ship" inventory tip. None of them have ever given the correct disclaimer though: if you modify your ship some of the items will go into cargo, but sometimes you will lose items because there is no space.
That mining laser tip at the end just makes my hood boil. Thank you do much for putting it out there, I have not seen anyone else say it INCLUDING BETHESDA! Why oh why do they treat everything informative like some sort of national secret only to be released on pain of death? The mining laser modes, what the different types of jump pack do, the crafting system, the ship hab modules, ammo types and what they actually do different to each other (how much AP does AP actually do, penetrating rounds how fo they work, inferno rounds e tea bonuses etc) etc. It's just infuriating the devs tell you nothing !
In the lodge's basement, there is a mannequin with a cool suit. It's master locked but if you put your cursor in the seam of the door, you can access the suit without having to pick the door.
One thing I find super handy is that whenever you are within 250m of your ship, you can transfer items directly to the hold via the pause menu. This is such a game changer when looting space stations as you're almost always in range. Also, don't forget you can fast travel to anywhere you've discovered, makes it much faster getting around cities.
If you want to get parts like scanners or some other planet/region locked ship equipment, put the items on a structure piece and hit duplicate. It will copy the structure along with the unique item.
On the note of bounties. If you have a bounty with a major faction and you jump to the opposing factions territory, theres a possibility of a trader ship/galbank ship etc. being associated with the faction you have a bounty with, they will attack you, and if you fight back, you will get every other ship hostile with you
If you're on PC use f5 to quick save rather than going into the main menu. Also holding tab or escape will instantly back you out of the menu rather than going through 4 different pages.
Med Kits are the only ones that don't add weight. The Trauma and Emergency kits both have a .10 kg weight. Same with most Aid items. So if you hoard, and wonder why you're always hovering around 80-90kg and you aren't holding any new gear, check your Aid items. Can easily account for 10kg if you're not paying attention.
That's what happened to me. I had all these "buff health" items i never use like 10% more damage for 2 min. I got a bad memory and don't remember hey i got an oxygen buff. So now i just keep med kits and things that heel conditions.
Medpack heals 30% of your health over 10 seconds Trauma pack heals 25% of your health (so less than medpack) but only over 5 seconds, so it's faster but worse in total healing Emergency kit heals 40% of your health in 5 seconds, so it's the best one. Medpack and trauma pack are kind of same level, the medpack is slower but slightly more total heal, but trauma is faster with slightly less total healing.
keep care with "the den" if you steal ship and travel there / or switch your ship and goes back in to your ship right to the cockpit there is a chance you will be teleport to other Star system or planet... if that happens load a new save cause some textures on planets will not be load or some quests are buggy
The large container in the lodge crafting room isn't there on my game, not sure if its a glitch or they simply removed it, however there is a very small container on the floor to the left of the weapons workbench that does in fact have unlimited storage to my knowledge.
@owenroberts8491 u can't get it unlocked until further into the game although there is a safe in your bedroom in the lodge beside matteos room that has infinite space
Spoiler alert, there is a part in the game where you must make a difficult choice, it's not too far into the Constellation storyline but your choice means you lose a companion, when this happens their gear is placed in the large chest, and that then becomes available for storage.
There’s a small storage container on the table behind the research station in the Lodge basement that has infinite storage, in case you have no interest in progressing the main story enough for the big chest to spawn.
One thing I would love to see is a ship review series. We find a lot of ships you can buy from different shipyards and what not, but what I miss from them is a basic descrption that sort of details what the vessel was made for. Yes we are given a handful of numbers, but for some they kind of are not as clear as a little bit of flavor text. So a series of about ships that review them based on combat ability, cargo, bussing etc.. I think that could make for an interesting and informative set of videos.
@@luminisone5421 Yep. Why i think a review series, which also could have player submitted custom ships as extra, be nice. Right now its very tedious to save, buy ship, enter, have a look inside (maybe test fly), reload, buy next ship, looks inside etc etc... A preview would be great in game
The ship from the mantis quest and the star eagle are really good. The Star Eagle is amazing in the late game too, the only things I've needed to swap are the grav drive and the reactor, I'm about to do a full weapons overhaul
I hope as a QOL item BGS will allow getting mats from nearby storage containers. Sure you can track the project and go to the storage, the items you need will have a find icon.
you mean like automating the links? that would be cool if the logistics robot could do that- it makes sense they'd be able to 'figure that out' in a cannon and game mechanics view.
Something I have found useful is a clothing item that can be found early on in various locations and helps against environmental issues / damage; Hazmat Suit. I usually have 3 or 4 inventory clothing items that are equipped depending on situation - the Hazmat Suit as mentioned, a suit which helps with persuasion, something to help in a fight [maybe adds damage or protection] and a lab coat to help with research. Horses for courses, though! Just do not forget those clothing items for their bonuses.
Holy crap i had no idea that the lodge had a crafting room. I was actually wondering if i was going to have to build a base just to have a place to easily craft, i been using crafting benches I find in pirate POI's while out doing missions lol. I kind of explored the lodge early in game going through many of the rooms and all but didn't actually find that crafting room, guess i didn't pay attention that I had more amenities then just a personal room to store my stuff (Which i haven't really done since it's not linked to crafting stations or merchants)
Id say go for weapon weight reduction because they are way heavier, plus you can always transfer resources to your ship through the menu if you’re close enough
9:05 I maxed out piloting pretty early by attacking the Crimson Fleet at their home base, leave, let them respawn and repeat. Sometimes I would only get one kill before having to emergency jump to a nearby system, but I just let my shields recharge and go back and wipe out as many as possible before my shields drop to between 25% and 15%. Than, tactical retreat. Only to immediately go back. Sometimes they wouldn’t respawn until I had at least done a mission or two. (Same with venders restocking their products and credits. I’d wait up to a (in game) week (UT hours, not local hours) (after several successful trades in a row) and they still haven’t restocked. (I even went 5 systems over and returned but no luck) so I go do one quick mission and come check and they’d have more goods and credits to trade. Hopefully this helps anyone with similar Vendor restock problems. And the Crimson Fleet not respawning at the Key.
I got so excited about the unlimited box in the crafting area at the lodge that I had never noticed. Then, when I just checked I saw why I never noticed it. It isn't there for me. :( but I do have that cool O2 super power that you get eventually to help me move bsck and forth from the bedroom with the unlimted cabinet.
How about on the center research station table, behind the monitor, a small crate? I have that one which is unlimited. EDIT: checking other comments, seems the small one might be in varying locations in the room. Still, worth doing a thorough sweep, hopefully is around somewhere.
The unlimited large storage box appears shortly into the Constellation story line. Just keep playing that, a certain event happens where you need to make a choice, after that event plays out the box becomes available in the basement.
I build a bounty eraser on my ship. Rarely have a bounty,reload is my game mechanic,but sometimes i didn't notice. Stealing magtech by hopping on the counter in front of it is also a nice tip ,crouch and as soon as hidden appears,loot those expensive weapons and especially those 43mi and 50mi shells.😊
Running into a den of 1st cavalry or whatever militia. I barely survived their ships. Then they tore me to shreds with turrets and chasing guards. Bring health kits and dont rely on Amp to get you far. They had me trapped. Luckily i slept in a cot twice to get health back.
One of the _biggest_ mistakes is thinking of The Lodge as your home base. _Yes,_ it has infinite storage...but you don't _need it_ in this game. Not only is going back and forth to The Lodge cumbersome, but Bethesda has outright stated that _your ship_ is supposed to be your home. I've never needed more than 7,000 storage, and I can get that on a ship easily. I can put all of the crafting stations inside my ship. Bethesda is absolutely right: when you think of your ship as "home", it changes everything and gameplay becomes a ton easier. Everything I need is right there in my ship, and I'm always bringing it along with me. All I really have to do is sell off any loot every few planets.
Quicksave farm elite enemies for better drops. The ones with 3-4 health bars and armor. You can literally do a run in 10 seconds. Just save when they have a sliver of health. You get a crappy drop? reload and do it all over again til you get something you want. I'm just now lvl11 and have Legendaries from head-to-toe. Cheers.
Thanks for your info. I'm struggling to learn everything in the game. Only level 11. The whole ship building and outposts is so confusing. I'm sure I'll get used to it with the help of videos like yours. Thanks a bunch.
Here's another tip. In case you like to capture ships and sell them, and your ship vendors are all broke. They take longer than 24 or 48 hours to reset (don't know exactly how long, I think it's 14 days but don't quote me on that). Simplest trick here, go to Venus and sleep 5 or so local hours. 1 local hour on Venus is, I think, 100 UT hours. So you'll sleep for 500 UT hours (which is almost 21 days). Because Bethesda doesn't know how time works, it'll feel like you really only slept 5 hours. Anyway, after that all the ship vendors will have reset. Also, outposts, do NOT make the mistake of putting turrets on the ground, especially not when you build near animals. Aggressive animals will shred through those turrets within moments. Also, for power, build a watchtower and put solar panels on top. You can put a few on there which should be enough for turrets. Pirates like to go for power generating structures first, and they can't get to them up there. But honestly, unless you really enjoy basebuilding, don't put work into outposts. They don't really provide any benefits. You can put crafting stations on your ship, and you'll find them in the Lodge basement as well. There's maybe two things outposts are good for. Big landing pad to build ships as they combine the parts of different locations, and extracting the iron you need for a contract on one of the shipyards (don't remember which). Other than that, it's not really worth the hassle.
Tips for a better experience from someone with several unmodded playthroughs: Use mods to allow achievements with mods. Then when you start out, use console to increase inventory space to be 500 instead of ridonculous standard. Then give yourself 400 skills points - put 1 point in every skill right off the bat. You can now increase each skill in the tree separately from your leveling experience, by actually using that skill and still level up like normal. This way you can get to try way more of the skills in an organic way, whereas in the standard game you will only be able to try a fraction of the skills given that there are something like 350 skill points to be used, and you are unlikely to ever pass level 100 anyway.
This video was very helpful, Lucky Ghost. You explained everything very clearly and gave some good advice. I’m looking forward to playing Starfield and avoiding these mistakes!
There are some bright red doors, that are at some pirate outposts, that say “cut here” at the corners of the door. Not the end of mission red doors. Cut the corners with your laser mining gun and you will find secrets.
The problem with making a ship with more cargo is that they get heavy and get less maneuverable in ship combat. I really only have one gripe with this game and that is this decision they made about ship cargo. I feel like I need to keep my cargo at the number that ANY of my ships can hold so I can freely switch between them. It's VERY annoying. I assume (hope) that you can somewhat reproduce the ship cargo behavior with outposts by building lots of storage and also constructing crafting stations, but I'm just getting started there.
The only thing I’m a little bummed about Starfield is the fact that you can’t fly between systems without fast travel. I understand not being able to fly down onto planets without loading screens but I wish we could at least explore through space and find different planets manually
realistically, that would be extremely timely. Just to get to mars from earth would take 7 months so the "immersion" (yes i put them in quotations) would be drastically off.
I mean that would not make sense because realistically that would make all the galaxies be really close, that wouldn't work lol also it would take years with no grav jumps
@@apexn3rd Realistically, your speed in the vacuum would not be capped at any value below c, as long as you are applying continuous thrust. Yet in this game - very unrealistically - your speed is capped at a ridiculously low value (149 m/s with basic engine), except for bursts that only temporarily increase your speed (like there was something in the space preventing you from going faster, lol). It would take 7 months with current technology, but it would be plausible that something better is invented by the 24th century that allows for convenient and fairly quick travel within a solar system. You're not doing grav jumps in that case, so the game itself also implies you're using your engines to do that. With a rough 5G burn for 12 hours you can travel 46 million km, and with another 12 hour long 5G burn in the opposite direction, you can slow your ship down, and voila, you're at Mars in 24 hours. You just need an engine with a nearly infinite power source (fusion use of He-3 is implied in the game) and a solution that keeps the human body intact in a high-G burn for such an extended period. I'm not saying they should've done this, only that the argument "it would've been unrealistic" is very weak. There are better reasons why they made this decision (most likely it was designed this way to make the spaceship battles more managable and fun). I have accepted the fact that Starfield is not a spaceship simulator but an RPG, most of which takes place on the ground (whichever planet's surface it may be) and the space aspect was pretty much neglected.
I agree!!! No man's sky did it perfect!!! Let's fly to Venus, oh i mean let's pull up the menu, click on it and wait for the loading screen🙄. I mean this is a space travel game right, not a menu game. I find I'm in the menu almost as much as i am in game and with all the decisions and bad cargo space probably spent more. Not complaining just wish it was more like no man's sky for that feature
I was level 27 before leaving the first planet..there’s a lot you can do on each planet instead of just playing the main characters story as quick as you can, if you spend a ton of time at each planet you can have fun fighting and level up quicker,if you do 27 levels at each planet your rank up the first play through, as doing a second play through this fast just means you’ve missed so much of the game, and there is so many little tricks, you can also just toss a ton of stuff on the ground and quick save, it will alsways be there..
There are so many things that would have been nice to have equiped at all times but very little room on the one and only favorites menu, wish they would have made a secondary or a dual favorites menu, one on the left side of the screen, and one on the right side, right side one for guns and explosives, and left side one for consumables, another feature that would have been nice is basic companion commands like in Mass effect go here/there/stay/use ability/attack marked target.
I don't know if you're still monitoring this, or if you already know this, but if you get the Old Pirate Habs or whatever, they give you a "Treasure Chest" for an item storage thing, it has INFINITE capacity, and you can place it on your ship. It can't be sold from automatically, but it's easy to pull what you want to sell and either hold on to it, or chuck it in the ship's inventory.
on that ship tip, if you customize your ship, ALL those dropped items and items in ANY CONTAINER goes into the ships inventory. So your inventory can have like 4000/500 weight.
I did it by accident, but if you are stuck on a hard mission. Say fighting a big nasty. There are. Few early ranger quests where someone will follow you. You can use them as an extra companion/meat shield until you complete their mission.
You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar, in the words of one of my favorite creators. Been playing nonstop since release easily at 100ish hours now and I didn't know the tip about the space suit in settlements, the mining tool trick, AND that new game plus keeps your research. Really glad I did choose to wait to go into NG+. Saved me some time, lots of it. You've definitely made a new subscriber today, and a like of course. THANKS! Oh, and my little tip I can add is don't pass up the stealth in this title, like all the fallouts and Skyrim, the Stealth "archer" setup is DISGUSTING. Made an entirely new save just to dedicate points to it, well and to have new traits :P

My biggest mistake when playing Starfield is have to work a 40 hour week job and having a child to raise. If I didn’t have those two problems 😂😂😂
Same here!!! I'm 64 and unencumbered but I still work a 40 hour week and I pulled an all-nighter Thursday night at release (had to work Friday) and Monday night before going back into work on Tuesday morning. This work stuff is really irritating me. I am at least back to regular sleeping hours now. 😵💫

You also don’t have to “favorite” your cutter. When in scan mode, simply pull right trigger and you will automatically equip the cutter. Turn off scan mode and you automatically go back to your weapon.
That’s actually such a cool tip, cleans up my hotkeys very nicely. Thank you good sir for a tip that seems obvious, but I never would have done this
Yeah I didn’t know that either and I had it favorites now I’m gunna put another weapon in it’s place
Yeah, but after selling my good statted one, I started hotkeying it. Having to fly back to buy back “my own” expensive Cutter for net 90% of the top value was a lesson that saved me from selling anything equipped since, because all my good gear is equipped. (Unless I'm saving something in the Constellation house Safe.) I still run around in scan mode usually anyway, so cutter is already out & ready to fire.
Great tip, thanks
I didn't die many times in this game, but when I did, it was almost every time because of this fckn cutter coming up while I was attacked by something in scan mode, lol.
Get silenced weapons early. Makes a huge difference in stealth missions opens up a lot of options
I grabbed a long range silenced high dam rifle in my first side mish. I'd shoot low level enemies and they'd pretty much fidget trying to find me until they're half dead…
Agreed
Disruptors are also a game changer
ahh yes. skyrim stealth archer is still supreme.
Headshots with points in “sneak” and a silenced rifle usually one shot opponents for me with the dmg multiplier
Some of you may have seen this already but make a save before clicking on the mannequin that has the mantis suit on it. You can reroll the unique qualities of the suit for an epic suit.
EDIT: just for clarification the suit will always be legendary, the three perks for each part of the armor is what you can reroll through saving and RNG.
Damn I should've done that. Oh well, I'll know for the 2nd playthrough.
I got the suit but my current suite had...has better qualities so I don't even use it lol.
Once you get a part of the suit that has the perks you want, can you take that part and re-save then keep re-rolling until you get the next roll you want? Or is it when you take 1 piece the rest wont re-roll?
Thank u so much
I got legendary
I'll just use my new game plus armor😂
An addition to the vanguard mission for killing ships... you can also level up your security skill for lockpicking with the same simulation. I believe you will need at least advanced lockpicking to do this.
Go to the simulation, sit in the cockpit to start the simulation, stand back up and go towards the exit, behind you there is a console on the wall with an option to hack the terminal. Solve, exit simulation, re enter, repeat.... for anyone interested
If you want a really good ship early ish, do the mantis quest and then to get an even better ship, do the freestar rangers quest. The star eagle from the rangers faction quest is hands down one of the best ships you get as a reward in the fame. Everything is at the top of A class straight away with over 2000 storage...
I totally agree. Was saving for a ship with more storage, right before I finished that quest line. So glad I waited!
Tbh by the time I got the Eagle my Razorleaf had been upgraded to stomp it
@TempusVulpi I upgraded the hell out of my razor leaf lol.😂 she's ugly and slower now though. What did you add? I upgraded storage to 1600 my LY is 17 now and 99 maneuver. I'm still learning
@curtislaketek2952 man, I deleted everything and built the Millenium Falcon. My character is named Han Solo so it only made sense. Best 800k I have spent in the game so far haha
@@leburger5160 that's awesome!! I don't have building skills to be able to know how and what to connect haha. I can maybe make a dales dead bug van ship lol
DO NOT place weapons on weapon racks or display armor/helmets on display racks! If you have items a on display and change your home ship or edit your ship; all of the items will be deleted.
For example - i had a TON of legendary and epic weapons after about 5 hours of playing. The Mantis ship comes with tons of weapons and armor in its armoury and I removed the default weapons and armor on display and replaced it with my own. I edited the mantis in ship builder AND changed homenships.
I lost EVERYTHING that was not in the ships cargo hold.
Be careful out there fellow fliers!!
I recall doing this with cheap misc stuff and guns that I was hoarding. Not as big of a loss, but I was trying to use alien eggs to remake the movie on a base.
Can I just say when you hide your space suit it only hides it from you. The NPC's still sees you in a spacesuit (You will hear them comment on it sometimes). later in one of the quest you will be given an outfit that gives you 20% less chance of being seen (No spoilers) I used it for most of my first run and it never worked very well because I turned on "hide space suit" then found out you have to unselect you spacesuit and use the clothing with the 20% perk for it work. Your welcome. 😉😉
Finally a you tuber who actually explains all the things that are actually essential smaller parts
Auto Save... LOL I NEVER forget to do a quick save. When I was in CAD school the instructor every once in a while would go out to electrical breakers and flip the switch to our class room. This means we would lose ALL our progress that day IF we did not save. This was in the 90s when battery back up was not a thing. Anyway THAT was a lesson learned and now I am constantly saving everything... EVERYTHING!
Easy way to level shields..drive bad and run into the space stations. Makes losing shields safe(ish) and easy
Nice! As I need to grind level 3 of that. Lol. Gg
Now I’m wondering what the citizens inside might be thinking looking out their windows and seeing some idiot bouncing off their station multiple times? Lol!
@@Dark_Mishra "Oh, another one cheeses their shield training. We have to do a new paintjob again."
Companions only need 1 bullet of ammo, grenade, mine, etc. They will never run out.
(Also, make sure you are equipping items on companions. *Y on controller* Trading with them does not always equip it)
The grenade thing surprised me! I just have them carry whatever grenade I want lugged!
I like that items you steal, you can sell to the Trade Authority and buy it back for the same price and now the item is no longer marked stolen. Just don't exit the buy sell menu. Also you can get cool weapons from vendors by using another object you pick up, like a trashcan. Knock the weapon to the floor and push it into a backroom where there is nobody and pick that item up.
GREAT TIP
Ahh, legendary "immersive" AI by Beth. The "bucket on the merchant's head" sequel we've all been waiting for :D
I tried this, security got mad at me for picking up a cardboard box to knock the gun off the counter..
@@gogglez61you have to pick the bucket up while you are hidden, while usually maneuvering so it's upside-down...It's tedious. If by chance you drop the bucket or set it down mid try,you can't pick the bucket up again(unless you're hidden)
Too bad this game does not have any cauldrons one can just put on the heads of merchants. This always made me crack up in Skyrim.
3:23
There's also the Panacea; a fourth item that looks like a medpack, but instantly heals all health and removes all ailments, at the cost of knocking the air out of you (you lose all current O²).
Another trick is using the razoleaf lore, even if you completely rebuild the ship from the ground up the enemies will still recognize it as the razorleaf.
After remaking a Sparrow to a mobile battle station, you have given me another mission... remake legendary ships into real legends. Thanks. 😅
1 thing that took me a min to realize is that ship parts are in ur aid items not misc. Or resources.
Med kits does not weigh. You could stack them to the thousand if you decide due to cutting weight. If not worried about personal mass then I'd definitely recommend stocking up on trauma or emergency kits
Great tip in my opinion level up pickpocket asap, its very fun and overpowered. Pretty much all the main npcs you encounter will have around 1000 credits on them little over or under. They will also have main mission items that are hard to steal, however if you just quck save before doing it and reload when you mess up you can pretty much pickpocket everything and even avoid monotonous missions or tasks. 10/10 recommend.
I bought an expensive sniper rifle with a silencer and am rank 3/4 with stealth. Can sometimes clear an entire room with little dink headshots while hidden I love it
If you do get caught with contraband, pay the fine and itll spawn you next to the room with the safe holding it, ateal it back and they might even have some extra contrband and then go to wolf and get your money back for the fine. I learned that yesterday.
When I get scanned for contraband I just go to paridiso, It automatically lands you on planet.
You don’t have to pay fine. Just gladly go with them then steal all your stuff back. Easiest fuckin thing cause then you go directly to their trade authority.
A lot of people talk about going to the den, but no one has showed it so far. Also the reset.
You rock!
Shielded cargo is available from your outpost ship builder landing pad, it's also larger than the one you can buy elsewhere.
Will add: I wasn't able to go to The Den before going to New Atlantis. I found contraband after killing the pirate, and it was taken on entering NA, BUT I found it in a locked chest in the Spaceport, behind your ship. 🥰
If you’re starting a new play through, another good way to level piloting is actually taking the Wanted trait. Level 12 Ecliptic ships will show up to hunt you pretty often when you jump into a system and you can kill those and make a bit of money while you’re at it. You can also pay them like 500 credits to make them go away.
Also, when leveling stealth, use an automatic weapon with a suppressor. You can land several sneak attacks in quick succession and absolutely erase those challenges.
Those ships provide good XP or if on planet (after you kill the bounty hunters) OR if you board them- though sometimes they appear when you jump to a patrolled planet so you have 'help' when you kill them! Anyway they quite frequently carry contraband on them... you can't steal their ships though, it says unauthorized when you sit in the captains chair no matter what skills you have or even if sure you'd killed everybody.
For cutting those pins, you can shoot or cut them with a melee weapon too.
Also using non lethal weapons to take down story characters doesnt count as killing so if u failed that persuasion check just knock em out if u want them around later.
Or just save scum persuasion
Nah it’s more fun to just be like “well if you can’t be swayed there’s always chloroform”
12:50 “if you are having a storage problem” dude this is a Bethesda game of course we are! Great vid tyvm got a new subscriber here.
@13:20 WARNING Regarding dropping excess items on the floor of your ship. Keep in mind that if you do this and then go into Ship Editor and make any changes at all to your ship, things loose on the floor will disappear forever. The only way to avoid this is to load all those items onto yourself (or normal cargo space which you obviously probably don't have if you are storing them on the ship deck), then edit your ship, and then go back in and drop the items back on the ship's deck. I lost a bunch of loose resources doing this.
It says in the ship builder, as you confirm the build, that all loose things are moved to the cargo hold.
Interesting… even when your hold is already maxed out?
@@timothyhedrick5295 Yes. Everything will go into whatever your new home ship's inventory, even over the max. You can change from a class C freighter to your starter ship and have like 3599/400 in your ship's inventory.
@@kalmarnagyandras It says that, but it doesn't do that. Items you drop are gone forever. The default items that come with a module get put in storage (even if you removed them earlier). It'll probably get fixed at some point, maybe.
@@timothyhedrick5295 yes even when you're at max cargo. This is how you get 20,000 mass into a cargo hold of only 800😂😂😂
Before you land on a planet, or before you go into a place like a lab or settlement ( that has the icon that does the same thing as you go in the caves, the short teleport), you can put your game on very hard to make the game spawn legendary aliens or humans, then after you land you can switch to easy or very easy to kill them easily but with the same loot and exp as the very hard difficulty.
Definitely gonna try this
Same here
Just play on very hard Im level 21 upgraded the frontier have 9 different upgraded weapons that melt enemies tons of heals and materials and lik 120k it’s such an easy game
Some of these I already knew about and figured out, and the ones I didn't know are useful. Another quick tip is that u don't have the have ur cutter bound to a hotkey, as long as u have it in ur inventory u can open ur scanner and either left or right click to auto equip it without having to bind it to a key, it's useful if u like to have hotkeys more accessible for other stuff in ur inventory.
Early on I think ppl should check the basement of the constellation group faction and there are a couple of storage containers down there I think it's smart to leave a lot of ur resources and wanna keep for possible future research projects down there in those.
Or on Mars!
the red devils have a base that is very similar once going through some of the missions which to start go through the vanguard missions.
Or u.c.
Then they have some storage containers in there too and u can leave ur resources and things there too for future research projects there too .
Also u can sell everything in that room to a guy in there plus take all items off ur ship regularly cuz they reload .
U can take them over and over and sell them to the guy in the red devil base.
Plus all items in constellation base u can take and they aren't stolen so u can sell them too !
These things can help a person early on just get some extra funds for like ammo and weapons and things u'll need to get through missions at 1st.
And I'm just suggesting these things to do before u start an outpost and have storage containers of ur own there.
Cuz once u do that u can just keep all ur stuff at ur own outposts in ur own storages containers .
Thought this could be helpful for ppl that have never played and are starting the game from scratch.
If u sell a stolen item to the trade authority, then go to the buy it back tab it comes back no longer stolen
You can mark landing zones on a specific planet they have different regions not many people talk about this enough.
Definitely
Getting caught with contraband once is actually good, because it gives you the quest to infiltrate the Crimson Fleet.
Yes, or you can get caught deleting applications off a computer. That was a wild turn…
What is contraband, things you steal?
@@tonyVotino Very illegal items, ai research, human organs, Va’ruun propaganda and the like. It’ll show a yellow square in the corner if it is contraband.
or commit a crime in that faction. Takes you to the same place
I stole a helmet from a store 😂
Tip: changing the module where your captains locker storage is located will make you lose everything in it. They definitely need to fix this asap. I lost my moon snow globe and other pretty cool stuff that way
It just stores the items in your cargo hold i thought?
Why not reload the last save. The game auto saves quite often.
I figured that would be common sense. Remove something, the items in it go with it.
@@falseshepherd-490probably waited to long before noticing it
@@FunkyMan1208there’s also a captains locker across from the ships cargo hold. The first ship’s captain’s storage has like 40 weight available.
My buddy stored a bunch of weapon and armors in the weapon module/hab he didn't even change it out and a bunch of his legendary stuff disappeared😂
The big storage crate in the lodge basement doesn't appear until you hit a specific, sad spot in the main quest. Then that chest appears with specific items which you can claim for yourself, and then use the storage.
Damn I was wondering where that storage box was lol ty 😊😅
Until then you can use the smaller chest behind the research computer which is also unlimited.
Thank you.
TIP: you do not need to put your cutter onto your quickbar.. if you are in scan mode (F) the cutter is automatically selected!
True, but I have a habit of selling all weapons that aren't equipped and/or favorited and if my cutter isn't at least favorited, I may not have it when I need it later.
There's a quick bar?
You can take gas from gas vents, but not in scanner mode. Just loot it like a tree or chest (but NOT in scanner mode. yes you can loot anything else with scanner on, but not this)
I don't know if this was patched or you're just wrong, but you most certainly CAN loot gas vents (and trees and dead animals) while in scanner mode.
You can loot gas vents but not pools like water while scanner is out. You also cannot pick up cred disks while scanner is out
@@shanewilliams4614all that's been fixed, everything picks up in scanner mode, HOWEVER, you don't see credits pop up, like an item. Just point at it and click, it still picks up. 👍
When you are building your base you can link extractors and containers by just right clicking (I don't know what the game pad shortcut is) on one and connecting it with the other when you are still in build mode. It's easier and faster.
It's the right trigger on Xbox.
@@RotGodKingty
Can you link different extractors to one container? Or does each extractor require it's own dedicated storage?
@@cyfalk9840 You can, but I believe the storage will be divided in favor of whatever extracts or produces faster.
Omg the flight sim, amazing. I was saving that quest line until I ranked up piloting… but that’s bass ackwards! Thanks always for your amazing vids Lucky
You can use the computer in the flight sim to make the sim easier so you can clear every wave very quickly, in addition you can hack the computer which will increase your security without having to find a lock, or hack a bank terminal. Two birds with one stone.
Thank you Bethesda for giving us an absolutely EPIC game. I’m 30 hours in and I’m in love with this game. I’m enjoying it more than any previous Fallout or Elder Scrolls game I’ve played and that’s saying a lot. There’s so much to this game and so much to do and Bethesda hit a home run. Now that this game is such a huge success, it only means better things to come in the future for Elder Scrolls and Fallout. WINNING!
I totally agree, i played fallout alot but starfield really has me reading everything and picking up all the lore items / collecting every item/ scanning everything on every planet. Such a fun game love it cant wait to see how they update it throughout the years
YES! YES! FINALLY SOMEONE BROUGHT THE CUTTER UP! I dont have to comment it on every video and content creator anymore. I am freeeee!
You served your community well good sir, we salute you
@@LuckyGhost No, thank you! With your reach this easily missed detail about the cutter can finally get the wings it deserves. You are the first creator I have seen covering this after tens of "Top 10 tips you should know" or the like.
This is such a time saver when you are doing a manual mining run. Thank you for your work, sir!
With the piloting skill using the simulator, you can also increase skills for laser weapons, ballistic, and missles as well as there is another skill that's upgraded with ship kills as well.
To make those UC Flight Simulators a little easier/quicker, you can edit the parameters of the simulation (more shields, add an ally etc.), there is a terminal on board as soon as your start the simulation a little ahead and to the left once you get out of your seat (note: you can hack it to get more out of it to)
hacking it also levels your security skill as well!
Good video. The biggest mistake I made on my first playthrough was a mistake common to RPG - and that’s thinking of upgrade points in a ‘average is better’ manner. For instance, in Fallout 4, putting a lot of points in LUCK will give you a way easier time than not doing this. In Starfield, I eventually got to the low 60’s in terms of levels, but I had ‘wasted’ any number of upgrade points by trying to do everything. The base building mechanic in Fallout was clunky; in Starfield, it is better but still clunky. And a lot of the material you might mine at this or that outpost you set up, you can buy at various stores. So, if you know yourself, and your joy and zen comes from combat, then geez, then go with a combat character. You must upgrade Piloting, but you do not have to upgrade Targeting Weapon Systems (for instance). You do have to have a point in Boostpack to use a boostpack, but you don’t need more than one point.
The main problem is that Starfield does not allow you to re-spec your points - at all, ever. So, even in NG+, you may have points in areas you never use. I put a point in Isolation - sure, you get some buffs in combat, but I enjoy having my partner around to sleep with and get that buff. So, I am into a third new start (not NG+) playthrough where I am selecting points based on my playstyle. Sure, its nice to do the unlocking doors and chests mini-game, but none of the loot in chests was worth fully upgrading this. Similarly, you can avoid a lot of combat by fully upgrading Persuasion, but this is a crap idea if you like combat. Points into outpost management or planetary habitation, as mentioned, take points away, ultimately, from something else.
Think of the game this way - there is the main mission and the many wonderful side missions. But you can have combat related skills OR outpost management related skills OR ship building related skills. You can maybe have most of two of these, but not all three of these. And your choices here also depend on your difficulty level - at the harder levels, the space combat really gets tough unless you are putting alot of points into shields and ship weapons and starship design. The one of these big three that has very little to do with overall mission success is, well, outpost engineering. Baddies get harder as the difficutly level gets harder. You might want to put lots of points into Research trees to upgrade your weapons or spacesuit or speed the pace of research - again, the game is way more forgiving at Very Easy or Easy - but as you ramp up the difficulty, you really want to be stingy with points and find a groove that is your playstyle, because you literally cannot do it all. AND since you can’t re-spec, you might find yourself deep into the game, and then discover the parts of the game you adore, and have wasted a bunch of points in areas you don’t enjoy.
Becoming a Jack-of-all-trades is usually a mistake in most RPGs because of level cap restrictions, but there’s no respec option in Starfield or Fallout 4 simply because they have no soft/hard level caps. The only real “waste” is not getting a skill that could be progressed naturally over time. I’ve heard him mention in two different videos he didn’t take the Pilot skill on his first character, so all the ships he destroyed didn’t count for when he did finally get it.
Even if a player doesn’t plan to design a ship or start building outposts early on, I’d still say it’s worth getting those skills anyway. If they change their mind to focus on those more, they’ll have at least some amount of progress done toward them, and reaching rank 2 or even 3 really isn’t that much trouble. There’s a lot of ships to destroy out in space, and even just placing an outpost beacon and a couple simple structures around it still count as “building an outpost” for the purpose of the skill progression.
Random feature I noticed, there’s some sort of minor TTS for certain character names. For example I named my character “Walker” and VASCO spoke it during my first launch. Small but appreciated
Dang I’m jealous VASCO didn’t say my name. 😂
I created my char with my first name, sounded weird when he called me Captain Robert. I changed my name to Kirk, much more fun to hear.
They did the same with codsworth in fo4
@@ardaghion you can change your name? Or do you have to make a new game
@@logang1963 you can change your characters name whenever you want by going to the enhance store and paying 500 credits... you can skip the character customization part and at the end it will allow you to change your name
@luckyghost don’t forget to mention that the med kits are probably better to stock up on because they do not collect mass, very good thing to keep an eye on when you’re scavenging or when you want multiple choices of weapons in a battle. You can also build bounty clearing and mission consoles in your outpost.
great tip!
Right in front of the Research workbench is another infinite storage crate on the table.
There are 3 more infinite ammo crates by the Weapon workbench.
I am surprised that not many videos include them.
The box on the table just in front of the research console is also unlimited space.
Thank you for the hiding spacesuit tip! I took off my suit in town one time so my casual gear would show, then fast jumped to another planet later on. With no spacesuit, I nearly died. I realized my mistake right away and snapped it back on but I felt pretty stupid. LOL
haha I've been there!
It definitely happens
Adding to that, if you are doing the Crimson Fleet mission Absolute Power in Neon City (slight spoilers)
Obviously you can do it all guns blazing but killing anything, even a robot will result in you being kicked out of Sysdef and declared an enemy. This does not mean you can't travel to UC systems but it does mean you don't get to choose between them and the Crimson Fleet.
So you must do a 100% stealth mission in the Generdyne facility. Unless you've maxed out the Stealth perk, then it's easier to just remove your suit, helmet and pack, then unequip your gun, this majorly reduces the sound you make and makes it so much easier to sneak undetected. The mission is still a PITA but doable.
Walked out of an airlock on Mars with no helmet or pack on, took me almost a minute to figure out what happened. Also found out the Pack is your O2, not just a jet pack.
I've seen alot of videos that give the "drop on ship" inventory tip. None of them have ever given the correct disclaimer though: if you modify your ship some of the items will go into cargo, but sometimes you will lose items because there is no space.
you dont loose stuff if you dont have space, it will just go into cargo anyway and your ship will be overemcubered lol.
That mining laser tip at the end just makes my hood boil. Thank you do much for putting it out there, I have not seen anyone else say it INCLUDING BETHESDA! Why oh why do they treat everything informative like some sort of national secret only to be released on pain of death? The mining laser modes, what the different types of jump pack do, the crafting system, the ship hab modules, ammo types and what they actually do different to each other (how much AP does AP actually do, penetrating rounds how fo they work, inferno rounds e tea bonuses etc) etc. It's just infuriating the devs tell you nothing !
happy to be able to help!
@@JerkasaurThat’s not true I watched over 20 tip videos from big and small YT channels and they only talk about weapons, space suits and farming.
In the past they used to make game manuals and when writing them all was clear. We miss that feature of the past!
also when you do join the crimson fleet they will never attack you again and u get unique dialouge options with them in other planets and quest
In the lodge's basement, there is a mannequin with a cool suit. It's master locked but if you put your cursor in the seam of the door, you can access the suit without having to pick the door.
The point about research before ng+ is gold. Thanks for pointing this out!
One thing I find super handy is that whenever you are within 250m of your ship, you can transfer items directly to the hold via the pause menu. This is such a game changer when looting space stations as you're almost always in range.
Also, don't forget you can fast travel to anywhere you've discovered, makes it much faster getting around cities.
If you want to get parts like scanners or some other planet/region locked ship equipment, put the items on a structure piece and hit duplicate.
It will copy the structure along with the unique item.
On the note of bounties. If you have a bounty with a major faction and you jump to the opposing factions territory, theres a possibility of a trader ship/galbank ship etc. being associated with the faction you have a bounty with, they will attack you, and if you fight back, you will get every other ship hostile with you
Also be careful not to delete your shield generator in the ship creator when starting to customize your ship!
That's an easy fix, plus the interface will warn you if certain systems are missing even if they aren't a hard requirement for your ship.
If you're on PC use f5 to quick save rather than going into the main menu. Also holding tab or escape will instantly back you out of the menu rather than going through 4 different pages.
Med Kits are the only ones that don't add weight. The Trauma and Emergency kits both have a .10 kg weight. Same with most Aid items. So if you hoard, and wonder why you're always hovering around 80-90kg and you aren't holding any new gear, check your Aid items. Can easily account for 10kg if you're not paying attention.
That's what happened to me. I had all these "buff health" items i never use like 10% more damage for 2 min. I got a bad memory and don't remember hey i got an oxygen buff. So now i just keep med kits and things that heel conditions.
Medpack heals 30% of your health over 10 seconds
Trauma pack heals 25% of your health (so less than medpack) but only over 5 seconds, so it's faster but worse in total healing
Emergency kit heals 40% of your health in 5 seconds, so it's the best one.
Medpack and trauma pack are kind of same level, the medpack is slower but slightly more total heal, but trauma is faster with slightly less total healing.
Acquiring ships in the field can cause you ships inventory to get lost, I have lost several Legendary weapons stored in the Captains Locker.
keep care with "the den" if you steal ship and travel there / or switch your ship and goes back in to your ship right to the cockpit there is a chance you will be teleport to other Star system or planet... if that happens load a new save cause some textures on planets will not be load or some quests are buggy
The large container in the lodge crafting room isn't there on my game, not sure if its a glitch or they simply removed it, however there is a very small container on the floor to the left of the weapons workbench that does in fact have unlimited storage to my knowledge.
Mines the same
@owenroberts8491 u can't get it unlocked until further into the game although there is a safe in your bedroom in the lodge beside matteos room that has infinite space
Spoiler alert, there is a part in the game where you must make a difficult choice, it's not too far into the Constellation storyline but your choice means you lose a companion, when this happens their gear is placed in the large chest, and that then becomes available for storage.
There’s a small storage container on the table behind the research station in the Lodge basement that has infinite storage, in case you have no interest in progressing the main story enough for the big chest to spawn.
I’m in love with this game. I still haven’t learned how to build everything yet but i love it anyway lol
One thing I would love to see is a ship review series.
We find a lot of ships you can buy from different shipyards and what not, but what I miss from them is a basic descrption that sort of details what the vessel was made for.
Yes we are given a handful of numbers, but for some they kind of are not as clear as a little bit of flavor text.
So a series of about ships that review them based on combat ability, cargo, bussing etc.. I think that could make for an interesting and informative set of videos.
Also with shots of the INTERIOR!!
@@luminisone5421 Yep. Why i think a review series, which also could have player submitted custom ships as extra, be nice.
Right now its very tedious to save, buy ship, enter, have a look inside (maybe test fly), reload, buy next ship, looks inside etc etc... A preview would be great in game
The ship from the mantis quest and the star eagle are really good. The Star Eagle is amazing in the late game too, the only things I've needed to swap are the grav drive and the reactor, I'm about to do a full weapons overhaul
Ignore all those ships. Do the freestar rangers faction quest and get the star eagle. Literally one of the best ships in the game...
I hope as a QOL item BGS will allow getting mats from nearby storage containers. Sure you can track the project and go to the storage, the items you need will have a find icon.
you mean like automating the links? that would be cool if the logistics robot could do that- it makes sense they'd be able to 'figure that out' in a cannon and game mechanics view.
Something I have found useful is a clothing item that can be found early on in various locations and helps against environmental issues / damage; Hazmat Suit. I usually have 3 or 4 inventory clothing items that are equipped depending on situation - the Hazmat Suit as mentioned, a suit which helps with persuasion, something to help in a fight [maybe adds damage or protection] and a lab coat to help with research. Horses for courses, though! Just do not forget those clothing items for their bonuses.
Holy crap i had no idea that the lodge had a crafting room. I was actually wondering if i was going to have to build a base just to have a place to easily craft, i been using crafting benches I find in pirate POI's while out doing missions lol. I kind of explored the lodge early in game going through many of the rooms and all but didn't actually find that crafting room, guess i didn't pay attention that I had more amenities then just a personal room to store my stuff (Which i haven't really done since it's not linked to crafting stations or merchants)
Just put one on your ship
Solid tips. I've got to level 30 and didnt know alot of this
Resource weight reduction is a great perk for Allies armour and will allow you to carry a lot more items on them
Agreed. Sam the hauler hates me 😂
Id say go for weapon weight reduction because they are way heavier, plus you can always transfer resources to your ship through the menu if you’re close enough
9:05 I maxed out piloting pretty early by attacking the Crimson Fleet at their home base, leave, let them respawn and repeat.
Sometimes I would only get one kill before having to emergency jump to a nearby system, but I just let my shields recharge and go back and wipe out as many as possible before my shields drop to between 25% and 15%. Than, tactical retreat. Only to immediately go back.
Sometimes they wouldn’t respawn until I had at least done a mission or two. (Same with venders restocking their products and credits. I’d wait up to a (in game) week (UT hours, not local hours) (after several successful trades in a row) and they still haven’t restocked. (I even went 5 systems over and returned but no luck) so I go do one quick mission and come check and they’d have more goods and credits to trade.
Hopefully this helps anyone with similar Vendor restock problems. And the Crimson Fleet not respawning at the Key.
I got so excited about the unlimited box in the crafting area at the lodge that I had never noticed. Then, when I just checked I saw why I never noticed it. It isn't there for me. :( but I do have that cool O2 super power that you get eventually to help me move bsck and forth from the bedroom with the unlimted cabinet.
How about on the center research station table, behind the monitor, a small crate? I have that one which is unlimited.
EDIT: checking other comments, seems the small one might be in varying locations in the room. Still, worth doing a thorough sweep, hopefully is around somewhere.
There’s a Safe in your room at The Lodge that has Unlimited Storage.
The unlimited large storage box appears shortly into the Constellation story line. Just keep playing that, a certain event happens where you need to make a choice, after that event plays out the box becomes available in the basement.
you can also put stuff in the chest on the table at the lodge for even more inventory
the cutter one and the piloting one are HUGE time savers..absolute essential knowledge :)
I build a bounty eraser on my ship. Rarely have a bounty,reload is my game mechanic,but sometimes i didn't notice. Stealing magtech by hopping on the counter in front of it is also a nice tip ,crouch and as soon as hidden appears,loot those expensive weapons and especially those 43mi and 50mi shells.😊
Running into a den of 1st cavalry or whatever militia. I barely survived their ships. Then they tore me to shreds with turrets and chasing guards. Bring health kits and dont rely on Amp to get you far. They had me trapped. Luckily i slept in a cot twice to get health back.
Hilarious! “Excuse me I need to take a nap then I’ll come back and kill you.”
@@ashrazel OMG fr hahaha 🤣🤣🤣
One of the _biggest_ mistakes is thinking of The Lodge as your home base. _Yes,_ it has infinite storage...but you don't _need it_ in this game.
Not only is going back and forth to The Lodge cumbersome, but Bethesda has outright stated that _your ship_ is supposed to be your home. I've never needed more than 7,000 storage, and I can get that on a ship easily. I can put all of the crafting stations inside my ship. Bethesda is absolutely right: when you think of your ship as "home", it changes everything and gameplay becomes a ton easier.
Everything I need is right there in my ship, and I'm always bringing it along with me. All I really have to do is sell off any loot every few planets.
Quicksave farm elite enemies for better drops. The ones with 3-4 health bars and armor. You can literally do a run in 10 seconds.
Just save when they have a sliver of health. You get a crappy drop? reload and do it all over again til you get something you want.
I'm just now lvl11 and have Legendaries from head-to-toe. Cheers.
Thanks for your info. I'm struggling to learn everything in the game. Only level 11. The whole ship building and outposts is so confusing. I'm sure I'll get used to it with the help of videos like yours. Thanks a bunch.
Man I don´t know what to level up first,I just want everything
Here's another tip. In case you like to capture ships and sell them, and your ship vendors are all broke. They take longer than 24 or 48 hours to reset (don't know exactly how long, I think it's 14 days but don't quote me on that). Simplest trick here, go to Venus and sleep 5 or so local hours. 1 local hour on Venus is, I think, 100 UT hours. So you'll sleep for 500 UT hours (which is almost 21 days). Because Bethesda doesn't know how time works, it'll feel like you really only slept 5 hours. Anyway, after that all the ship vendors will have reset.
Also, outposts, do NOT make the mistake of putting turrets on the ground, especially not when you build near animals. Aggressive animals will shred through those turrets within moments. Also, for power, build a watchtower and put solar panels on top. You can put a few on there which should be enough for turrets. Pirates like to go for power generating structures first, and they can't get to them up there.
But honestly, unless you really enjoy basebuilding, don't put work into outposts. They don't really provide any benefits. You can put crafting stations on your ship, and you'll find them in the Lodge basement as well. There's maybe two things outposts are good for. Big landing pad to build ships as they combine the parts of different locations, and extracting the iron you need for a contract on one of the shipyards (don't remember which). Other than that, it's not really worth the hassle.
You can cut the pins with any weapon other than melee attack btw
Great to know!
You can melee the pins
Tips for a better experience from someone with several unmodded playthroughs:
Use mods to allow achievements with mods.
Then when you start out, use console to increase inventory space to be 500 instead of ridonculous standard.
Then give yourself 400 skills points - put 1 point in every skill right off the bat. You can now increase each skill in the tree separately from your leveling experience, by actually using that skill and still level up like normal. This way you can get to try way more of the skills in an organic way, whereas in the standard game you will only be able to try a fraction of the skills given that there are something like 350 skill points to be used, and you are unlikely to ever pass level 100 anyway.
This video was very helpful, Lucky Ghost. You explained everything very clearly and gave some good advice. I’m looking forward to playing Starfield and avoiding these mistakes!
There are some bright red doors, that are at some pirate outposts, that say “cut here” at the corners of the door. Not the end of mission red doors. Cut the corners with your laser mining gun and you will find secrets.
if you dont have a cutter, a red explosive tank can do the trick also
Don’t drop stuff on the floor on your ship then change some parts in the shop builder.
What happens if you change ships?
@@exodore2000 You'll lose that stuff.
Yeah changing models deletes almost everything that isn't nailed down. Resets the interior of your ship...
The problem with making a ship with more cargo is that they get heavy and get less maneuverable in ship combat. I really only have one gripe with this game and that is this decision they made about ship cargo. I feel like I need to keep my cargo at the number that ANY of my ships can hold so I can freely switch between them. It's VERY annoying. I assume (hope) that you can somewhat reproduce the ship cargo behavior with outposts by building lots of storage and also constructing crafting stations, but I'm just getting started there.
The only thing I’m a little bummed about Starfield is the fact that you can’t fly between systems without fast travel. I understand not being able to fly down onto planets without loading screens but I wish we could at least explore through space and find different planets manually
realistically, that would be extremely timely. Just to get to mars from earth would take 7 months so the "immersion" (yes i put them in quotations) would be drastically off.
I mean that would not make sense because realistically that would make all the galaxies be really close, that wouldn't work lol also it would take years with no grav jumps
@@apexn3rd Realistically, your speed in the vacuum would not be capped at any value below c, as long as you are applying continuous thrust. Yet in this game - very unrealistically - your speed is capped at a ridiculously low value (149 m/s with basic engine), except for bursts that only temporarily increase your speed (like there was something in the space preventing you from going faster, lol).
It would take 7 months with current technology, but it would be plausible that something better is invented by the 24th century that allows for convenient and fairly quick travel within a solar system. You're not doing grav jumps in that case, so the game itself also implies you're using your engines to do that. With a rough 5G burn for 12 hours you can travel 46 million km, and with another 12 hour long 5G burn in the opposite direction, you can slow your ship down, and voila, you're at Mars in 24 hours. You just need an engine with a nearly infinite power source (fusion use of He-3 is implied in the game) and a solution that keeps the human body intact in a high-G burn for such an extended period.
I'm not saying they should've done this, only that the argument "it would've been unrealistic" is very weak. There are better reasons why they made this decision (most likely it was designed this way to make the spaceship battles more managable and fun). I have accepted the fact that Starfield is not a spaceship simulator but an RPG, most of which takes place on the ground (whichever planet's surface it may be) and the space aspect was pretty much neglected.
I agree!!! No man's sky did it perfect!!! Let's fly to Venus, oh i mean let's pull up the menu, click on it and wait for the loading screen🙄. I mean this is a space travel game right, not a menu game. I find I'm in the menu almost as much as i am in game and with all the decisions and bad cargo space probably spent more. Not complaining just wish it was more like no man's sky for that feature
@@tonyVotino Did you miss the part where the Bethesda said this is NOT a space exploration game? But I do agree with the excessive menu navigation.
I was level 27 before leaving the first planet..there’s a lot you can do on each planet instead of just playing the main characters story as quick as you can, if you spend a ton of time at each planet you can have fun fighting and level up quicker,if you do 27 levels at each planet your rank up the first play through, as doing a second play through this fast just means you’ve missed so much of the game, and there is so many little tricks, you can also just toss a ton of stuff on the ground and quick save, it will alsways be there..
Ain’t no way you got to level 27 bruh.
Which planet denison? or that first bandit one?
There are so many things that would have been nice to have equiped at all times but very little room on the one and only favorites menu, wish they would have made a secondary or a dual favorites menu, one on the left side of the screen, and one on the right side, right side one for guns and explosives, and left side one for consumables, another feature that would have been nice is basic companion commands like in Mass effect go here/there/stay/use ability/attack marked target.
I don't know if you're still monitoring this, or if you already know this, but if you get the Old Pirate Habs or whatever, they give you a "Treasure Chest" for an item storage thing, it has INFINITE capacity, and you can place it on your ship. It can't be sold from automatically, but it's easy to pull what you want to sell and either hold on to it, or chuck it in the ship's inventory.
Thanks for the video, I'm new to starfield so these tips and tricks will be very helpful 😁
on that ship tip, if you customize your ship, ALL those dropped items and items in ANY CONTAINER goes into the ships inventory. So your inventory can have like 4000/500 weight.
I just punch the locks off the "Cut Here" doors to open them. 😂
This works? Lmao
@@LuckyGhost Yeah, I was shooting them off and decided to see if I could just punch them, amd it worked. 😂
Oh, and thanks for the tips in this video. Just that one about the contraband in the Wolf system made it worth it.
I did it by accident, but if you are stuck on a hard mission. Say fighting a big nasty. There are. Few early ranger quests where someone will follow you. You can use them as an extra companion/meat shield until you complete their mission.
You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar, in the words of one of my favorite creators.
Been playing nonstop since release easily at 100ish hours now and I didn't know the tip about the space suit in settlements, the mining tool trick, AND that new game plus keeps your research. Really glad I did choose to wait to go into NG+. Saved me some time, lots of it. You've definitely made a new subscriber today, and a like of course.
THANKS!
Oh, and my little tip I can add is don't pass up the stealth in this title, like all the fallouts and Skyrim, the Stealth "archer" setup is DISGUSTING. Made an entirely new save just to dedicate points to it, well and to have new traits :P
Haha awesome and thanks for sharing a tip!
16-20 hours a day? You sure?
