The whole time I'm watching this, I hear the words in my head: "We are Slab. You will be assimilated. From this day forward, you will service us. Resistance is futile." Great ship, Wizard!
To me, the best part of a build is meeting a limitation that requires a new solution. Just like in Fallout 4's build system, the more ways you learned how to work around the little problems, the better your building skill would get. That said, building a clean square shape at the module limit with no unused space and ONLY the amount of landers needed with this much cargo? Definitely a tough one, but not as tough as coming up with original designs with the limited amount of modules that we have available. That is the tallest order of them all!
I’d say “slab” is definitely fitting for the name. Not quite my thing, but with getting 117k on the bristleback.. yeah.. still one hell of a build. The only problem w running ships this large - is pre-update (idk about now), ships w max build piece counts - produce unstable / laggy behavior on the series x. Kinda why I got to where I store all my resources in the bottomless box at the lodge and moved from running the large ships to only carrying what I need in a modified scythe. Or when much more capacity is absolutely needed, a heavy basilisk that I tweaked to almost 11K cargo. Still though, hell of a build. Love these build videos you put together man!
Man I hate the significant degree of difference between the experiences players are having on different platforms and versions of the game. Makes it tough for me to help when people are running into build difficulties, and it clearly prevents some players from even building my ships. I've been making a concerted effort to avoid making players feel left out of a build, but with these version variances it almost doesn't even matter. Either way, I really appreciate your support and continued engagement. Cheers man!
You are just so awesome. I always look forward to seeing your new Starfield content. 👍 As a follow up, in the middle of my Crimson Fleet questline, I decided I must have a SLAB. I built it and filled it with my Vytinium from my outpost and even though I had roughly 2500 of the cargo filled with other stuff, I was able to in 1 hour sell it all off with the Merchant Refresh mod you helpfully highlighted. I was able to sell just short of 1.5 million worth in 1 run. I have both Commerce and Cargo rank 4. Oh and I now blame you for opening my eyes to the wonders of modding. I installed the refresh mod you used and the one that sorts inventory SO much better. Now I can't stop adding all the cool outfits and such that I wondered throughout my multiple play throughs, why can't I buy the outfit those NPC's are sporting. I wonder no more. Eagerly anticipating your newest Outpost guide. :)
Please do, and enjoy! Hopefully I can provide you with some good inspiration. Feedback is always appreciated, and please ask questions about anything that you may run into while building. Thanks for watching!
That is most definitely a slab all right. Not necessarily my cup of tea, but I get why you use it. If anything, that mod is gold. So much time is lost just selling loot to vendors instead of questing/exploring. Honestly, if they just multiplied the vendor cash reserves by a factor of 5 or 10 that would be great. Also, I really wish the Cargo habs, 3x3 for example actually gave cargo space somewhat. Even if its just 100 cargo, I would be happy.
Agreed on all points. The vendors could at least increase their credit reserve as you do business with them. The mod definitely helps but 11k just isn’t enough!
Such a random build. I like it. The misso asked why do i need another heavy hauler when I've just spent hours building the Bristleback. Thinking i might "upgrade" the Bristleback to the Slab. Lol. Great vids. Love watching them
For sure nobody ‘needs’ this much cargo, but then again it would be useful for everybody. You’d never have to worry about a lack of capacity for storing things. Thanks for your support!
@WizeOldWizard started making the Vytinium outpost this morning. Will carry on when I get home from work. Hopefully get it up and running tonight. Can't wait to fill up 129 120 + 50% cargo. Then the glorious task of selling/sleeping all of it (yay for being on Xbox). Lol.
It is an arduous task, selling all of that. I have done it so I feel your pain. If nothing else, you can use it to pay for any supplies you need from the vendors before you zero their credits and go sleep. Ammo/aid and such.
@WizeOldWizard lucky can sell in the Kryx system. At least I got 36500credits available per sleep cycle. Just ran my first batch of Vytinium. Couldn't make the bigger storage containers yet. So only managed 100k of sales. Will fill the Bristleback after this run and see how much I make off 112 000 cargo worth of vytinium.
@@WizeOldWizardif your reading this today's or tommrow update should fix that add option in settings to give all venders like 20-60k credits making selling stuff easier for all us on console still slow but not mind numbing slow like it was
Cool ship man! I personally love the Hope landing gear. Sometimes i try to build my ships just around making them look good. I dig how they rotate and kinda look like extra engines while flying and taking off.
I love these videos! There are a few things I would like to see, 1 with the kid stuff perk the Dad will give you a Ship I would love to see your take on it. 2 I would like to see if you could upgrade the Scythe to C class and still have the same speed (or close) and 3 I would be very curious to see what your version of a luxury cruiser would be?( just for laughs) regardless great videos 👍
Great suggestions! For Kid Stuff I’d have to start a whole new playthrough. It’s possible but it may not be until we get some DLC down the line that makes doing that logical. A class C Scythe would be a tall order while retaining 100 mobility, and the ship would then likely exceed the 40m length that it has. What class C part are you trying to use? Luxury habs aren’t a thing yet, but I would translate that into something that has a high passenger count, and lots of windows. Like a starliner. Would that fit the bill?
@@WizeOldWizard mainely I'd be curious with the scythe if you could fit two more engines on it and up the shielding without changing the overall look? Certainly not expecting it but just curious if it's possible or if that really would bring down the mobility significantly? How would it move and function? I could see myself doing almost an entire playthrough with that ship that's I'm interested if it would really need upgrades or if it could hold it's own as is. As for the luxury cruiser I'm more just curious what your take would be on one would it have defenses? Or be more like the Slag based on what there is (without mods) more just being curious. I don't have Starfield yet but I know I will love the ship building and I won't have mods, so your videos are perfect for ideas 😊
@zavenwolf990 I see, well since you don’t have the game, there are some things to note: Regarding the Scythe, that has a class B reactor that makes 39 power, and that’s only one less than the best class C reactor. It’s also much lighter and half of the physical size. Upgrading it to class C would not allow the attachment of any more engines, as the White Dwarf 3015 engines require 3 power each, totaling 12 power required for the full stack of four. No way to change that. Every system has a maximum power of 12 pips. Regarding the habs themselves, there is currently no interior options or customization in the game. I am dying for more choices though because I would love to build a more diverse fleet. Something like a starliner ship would for sure have weapons and shields so that it could defend its occupants against attacks.
cheers mate going to try the mod you linked in description for a new toon got sick of resetting vendors and waiting on chairs and yes i will be trying this ship me too do not like the near death visuals and it gives me a headache after a little time .
This ship is the ultimate solution for avoiding overencumbrance , and the mod greatly reduces the time it takes to sell bulk items. Thanks for watching!
Hi! I love your building videos. So much details and very good descriptions!! Thank you very much 😊 Maybe you can make a rebuild of the Abyss Tracker! This would be cool 😅
Holy hell that's a LOT of cargo! I thought my current ship was beefy at 20k storage. Edit: oh, you don't fly it, it's one of those lol still pretty spectacular! And under 1 mil mid game!
If you’re looking for a hauler that you can fly, the Bristleback has a little over half this capacity but it has shield and weapons and a full stack of engines. It also has an actual interior lol. Thanks for watching!
I just want to say that way back in September I made a ship holding 117K cargo. Then I parked it at the key and then lost my save because the game was not able to load/render this big ass ship when I tried to load the save the next day at the key looking out window at it. I was probably a one off situation but that will leave me afraid of big ships lol
I’ve had it fly away from me several times but I figured out how to solve that one. Haven’t experienced the disappearing ships yet, thankfully. Personally I think it has more to do with stolen ships than it does with the size of them.
Ty Wizard. Have built the slab. Now to mine some vytinium. 203364 cargo space (yay for maxed out payloads). This is going to take me days to sell all the vytinium 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Jfc, that thing is obnoxious...🤣 Unfortunately, being on Xbox I don't have access to mods so this would take me like 3 days to sell, IRL. 😜 I'm guessing the mods are also how you're able to build a ship without a shield or weapons? Far as I know, the game doesn't allow for that, at least on console.. But a moot point, since as you know, the update still hasn't fixed my Bessel-iiib issue of no Temples spawning so Power from Beyond is stuck there. Reddit is telling me I need to go through NG+ again in order for the update to take and fix it but I'm certainly not going to do that yet again; I've gone through NG+ over 13 times to get all my powers up and the Venator suit with the perks I want and I'm settled in the universe where I am so Bethesda is just gonna have to fix that nonsense, corrupt save file or not. I'd call that ship The Borg because why not? What do you have against cubes, Wizard? Are you a geometric racist or something? 😆😆
Haha I actually love geometry, best math there is! And yeah I know, the console crowd will just have to deal until mod support is available. I could also just give myself credits through the console but that just feels TOO easy. As for the build, it’s 100% vanilla, no mods necessary. The game does not require shields or weapons.
Damn!!! That definitely takes the cake for max cargo. Question, how do you get your pan around the ship so smooth in picture mode. I try that is it just comes out shaky.
Amazon would like to present their new cargo ship. The Bezos! No need for stopping at different outposts. You can pack everything in this ship and we’ll deliver like we usually do.
Bezos himself reached out and said that Amazon will purchase a fleet of Slabs. They want to extend their reach beyond the Sol system. The purchase offer was 0.1% over build cost, and then his security team aimed their sidearms at my cranium and that’s when I realized that the offer was just too good to refuse!
Oh gosh.. I've been farming the credits for this for the past 3 days and as soon as I go over 25,400 mass it says the ship is too heavy to grav jump. Followed everything so I'm not sure what's going on
You need a stronger grav drive. For the mass of this ship, you literally need the highest jump thrust available. Did you use the exact drive that I did?
@@WizeOldWizard out of curiosity, did you have any points put into astrodynamics for this build? I have a maximum jump of 15LY as opposed to your 18 by the time I get to 25,400 mass
Yes, I had at least rank 3 of Astrodynamics at the time of building this ship. That might be the problem, and that would also mean that I missed a requirement!
@@WizeOldWizard Ah yeah that's it then. All good haha, this was a hell of a build and I still have a monstrous 115k cargo space without the last 9 cargo containers. Gonna go grind a few levels real quick!
Ok IF I was on pc I’d build this but on console there’s no point. The time it would take me to sell a million credits worth of merchandise is astronomical. It’s okay tho. I still appreciate the creativity
I totally get it, and it’s one of the worst mechanics in the game. I tried several vendor limit increase mods but none worked, so this was the best solution short of just using console commands. Having to exit from the vendor screen to refresh is painful enough, let alone sleeping 48 hours in between. One day we’ll all have mods. Couldn’t come soon enough.
Ok I’ll be the idiot. Followed the guide, but have a “Need more Grav jump thrust” red error message. I have the Apollo GV300 Grav drive with 50 thrust. What gives? I had to remove 9 cargo holds to get rid of the message. My cargo capacity is now 115,820. The only change I made was going with the Kon-Tiki B-600 bridge for that extra 20 capacity. There’s no way the 2 bridges have a mass difference of 9 cargo holds.
You don’t even know how much I want to be able to build a ship that is physically impossible to land on a planet with, and therefore requires a ship hangar to store a ship that can get you to a planet.
The whole time I'm watching this, I hear the words in my head: "We are Slab. You will be assimilated. From this day forward, you will service us. Resistance is futile."
Great ship, Wizard!
Hahaha spot on!
Exceptional feat of starship design excellence
A magnificent and sleek mechanical specimen
