15 MORE Features Starfield Never Tells You About...(Plus Bonus Tips & Tricks) - Ep. 2 

A tip for ship registration as soon as you jump in the pilot seat you can register from the ship menu and you will auto undock, then you can re dock your ship to fly away in your good ship not the downgrade

I love that Bethesda kept the magazines idea from Fallout. I loved randomly finding those when exploring!

You can store things into your ship from up to 250m away, just go into your ship menu and open the cargo hold, whatever button it is for you should be labeled at the bottom of the screen. I wish I knew this sooner, spent so much time hopping in my ship, unloading everything, then hopping back out.

Another tip for persuasion bonuses on clothes. Apply for a job with Ryujin and progress their quest line a little bit. It doesn't take too long, maybe 3 or 4 short quests before the boss gives you a "fitted suit". The fitted suit gives you a 10% buff to persuasion instead of only 5% on the clothes you can purchase. It still not huge, but 5% is 5%!

A lot of people don’t realize that if they have rank 1 in piloting you get the ability to use the ship’s thrusters… using the thrusters allows you to do some pretty crazy maneuvering… I’d definitely suggest for anybody who doesn’t know this, to check their key bindings. It will say “switch flight mode” on controller it’s RB hold the bumper to use the thrusters, and let it go to resume flying normally. Hope this helps you guys! 😊

For the ship simulation. If you lack the lockpicking skill to unlock the admin controls. There is a admin keycard on a yellow toolbox directly underneath one of the simulations. You can just grab it without upsetting anyone

6:40 If you're still struggling with the simulator even after the hacks (or you don't have the lockpicking), you can fly over to that orbital station, park your ship in the middle of all the ganties (making yourself difficult to reach), then get out of your seat. The enemy ships will basically destroy themselves trying to get to you by ramming themselves into the station and exploding, and you still get credit for killing them.

You can fast travel without the map menu using the scanner, the areas show up as landmarks you can directly fast travel to when the scanner is open.

If you are in ship combat and heading straight at them, go into targeting mode before you pass them. You can do a ridiculously tight 180 degree turn very easily and get on their tail.

For the give companions grenades tip, I would recommend impact grenades instead of frags. They do identical damage, but it removes the side effect of the companion hurting themselves by bonking a nade back towards themselves.

Make sure to set difficulty to very hard before you land on a planet, it increases gear quality and chance of legendaries in loot containers. You can lower difficulty after landing.

Fantastic tip for your next video would be that you can store loot directly into your ship inventory even if you're not in it, so long as you're out of combat and within 250m on the scanner. All you have to do is go into your shipyard in the menu and hit F for PC users to access the cargo hold. This is very useful when you're landing at locations you can see on a planet from orbit as your ship usually will land just outside the location and be within range to store loot. Bonus Tips: - You can control click modules in your ship builder to select multiple parts for coloring, deleting or moving - You don't have to scan a planet to find out what resources it has, you can simply travel anywhere in that system and all planets will now show their full list without any scans - So long as you're in your ship and not in the cockpit, you can fast travel to any location and it will skip all the cinematics and instantly drop you at the location. This includes specific districts in cities, outposts, etc... - To decorate your house or ship with objects, drop them, hover over them and hold A (Xbox) or E (PC). Then you can rotate them by clicking the left or right mouse, and change the axis of rotation by clicking Shift. This allows you to deck out your house or ship with all those fun misc objects you can find. - Don't be afraid of running around over encumbered. The only consequences are your health will go down to about 10% but it will not kill you, and your screen with blur in and out as you move or run. However, so long as you're not planning on fighting, this can be a lifesaver when decorating your house, working on an outpost, or returning to your ship after a big loot run. - You can still sprint while over encumbered. The game will cancel the sprint shortly after you start, but you can either just hit shift again to go back into a sprint, or you can sprint jump over an over with a boost pack to keep you in the air. Sometime the sprint cancels when you land, but so long as you time it well, you should be able to sprint jump infinitely. - Crafting is a great way to make easy money and XP. Just find a planet with Iron/Aluminum (Adaptive Frames), Cobalt/Nickel (Isocentered Magnet), Nickel/Aluminum (Mag Pressure Tank), Aluminum/Copper (Reactive Gauge) or Copper/Beryllium (Tau Grade Rheostat), and you should be able to set up an outpost that produces a very large amount of those 2 resources. Then just plop down an industrial workbench and produce 99 of that particular component. Make sure you sleep for the xp boost before you do this as well or you'll miss out on a lot of XP. - Need to drop that contraband, but you're already in your ship? Well, just go into your ship cargo and hold B (on PC) to Jettison it out of your ship - Coffee bags are insanely valuable and you can find them all over so make sure you always pick them up. For only .35 mass, they usually sell for around 150-175 credits (based on bargaining skill) giving them the highest value/mass of almost any resource type object at around 450x their weight in value. Similarly, for misc, some of the most valuable objects to collect are the lightest ones. Keep an eye out for any Glasses (all of them are great but the best are the coffee glass (1400v/m) and whiskey glass (700v/m)), Stylus' (1000v/m), Showqueen & Snowlord Game pieces (700v/m), Tablets (560 v/m), Funnels (550v/m) and Vials (550v/m). There are many more objects with high v/m, but these are some of the ones I run into the most often. - Additionally, all the foam cups and terrabrew cups have a v/m of 300 which is significantly higher than other objects and at .01 mass, you will never become over encumbered picking these up. So don't go out of your way for them, but if you're already picking something up, feel free to grab the foam cups. - Avoid low v/m objects when looting unless you plan to use them as decorations. Some of the worst stuff to pick up that are common are Notebooks, almost all kitchen stuff (bowls, pitchers, pans, pots, etc...), Succulents, Fish Bowl, Terrarium, Desk Fans, Microscopes, Plushies, almost all sculptures and display objects, board games and others as well. These are all high weight, but lower value, so if you're just looking to grab a few things and make some quick money, they aren't awful to grab, but if you're over encumbered and need to drop something, go for these first. - NPC's on your ship will automatically decorate your ship so long as there are misc objects in your ships hold. You'll notice after adjusting your ship, all of your stuff goes into your cargo, but over time, all of those objects will be placed back around your ship. You can even customize your ships aesthetic by putting cool misc objects into your hold and allowing them to automatically be placed.

You can also fast travel inside cities by using the scanner which helps navigating through less menus but you have to aim at what part of the city you wanna go

There is one more tier: Basic > Calibrated > Refined > Advanced > Superior

I love a RU-vidr who takes the time to put chapters, idk why to me Its just so considerate and Neat lol thank you

There is at least a second, unlimited storage box. The small box exactly opposite the research station in the basement of the Lodge. There you can store infinite resources right near all workbenches :)

I was stuck on a mission where I had to sneak around but I kept getting caught. Figured out if u take ur spacesuit and helmet off it makes a massive difference in how well you can sneak.

You can move items from your ships cargo hold to your companion directly if you ask to trade while on or around the ship.

I love how I’m listening to this on an early Monday morning, driving to work, acting like I’m going to remember ANYTHING that was said in the video when I get home and fire up my PC to play Starfield.

Boost pack tip - bind another key to alt boost pack and you can travel horizontally when boosting, which is great for covering distances, crossing ravines or pits, or when you're overencumbered and you want to unload your crap. For PC players, I suggest left-alt or right-alt as the alt boost, which you can easily feel on your keyboard by moving your thumb to the left or right of the spacebar.

My goal in life is to steal every single ship. No one is safe.

Build a Landing pad With Ship Builder at an outpost. It greatly opens up your ship building capabilities. I did this early on and made the Frontier 5x its original size with double the engine n gear count, and 3x firepower.

The Nova Cabot 2 level bridge has a version for those with no ship building rank. The only difference between the basic and the expensive one that requires rank is a marginal amount of storage. Love that bridge look and it helps to negate ladder annoyance with 2 level ships as top deck is accessed by stairs and has a port to second level no more ladders for me.

Additional (PC) Tips Tip 1: When in ship builder, hold mouse over mount point and hit 'G key' for options available for that point and shows what they look like attached. Tip 2: While at your Outpost, build a Landing Pad with Ship Builder for easy ship customization.

Thank you - those hints were super useful. Another hint I heard, if you change your settings to Ultra-Hard (or whatever it is) before exiting your ship, then change them back after exiting you will receive the upgraded gear lying around the area but the enemies will be set back to easy/normal. Lots of top notch gear without getting your butt kicked!

When you are on your quest list (L on PC) you can turn on all your nearby quests markers on your HUD, not only the one you are tracking. Very usefull to just do all you can in a given location.

Watching Betty throw a Grenada at the both of you at the end was the icing on the cake 😭 good tips man

When hacking, a white ring means the chosen pick doesn't fit in that ring, blue ring means it fits. So if only one ring is blue you can safely use it in that ring without worry you need it for the others.

There is also an aid that is an inhaler that gives 25% persuasion, but is a little harder to come by. One thing to know about persuasion is that it can have critical success or failure. This means the higher your persuasion chance the more this increases in your favor. I have seen a +4 fill a 6 slot and +1 give 3 slots. Also, don't forget to check out Red Mile in the Porrima system. Here you can get shielded containers and secondary system scramblers to decrease the likelihood of contraband being detected. There is also some interesting side quest here too.

For the persuasion clothing if you do the Ryujin quest line you get not only a suit that gives you +10 persuasion chance you get a stealth suit as well

You are doing a great job giving us tips and tricks on starfield. I always look forward to you new videos early in the mourning and its great that you do not include spoilers. I have just started my second play through and have been taking notes from your content. Keep up the great work you are doing! Thanks Captain Morpheus.

special note on the readable magazines: they're stackable. meaning if you read a magazine, beat the game, then read the same magazine on another playthrough, you get another buff. I don't know how far it goes though, as it requires beating the game multiple times to fully test

The most secret thing is that if you bind alternative key for jumping, say, to LAlt key, you're able to boost horizontaly with your jetpack. Found it on 3rd ng+

Give companions medpacks too and they'll heal themselves.

This game absolutely blew my expectations away🎉 and thanks for all you have covered on the channel been here since 1st sep with starfield, love the content🎉

Always have a backup laser drill in your ship inventory. Two or three times I sold the one I had on my character without realizing it. Player mod request - make the drill so it can't be dropped or sold. I know we technically don't need one even for plot reasons but it really is an ammo saver.

if you’re on keyboard and mouse go into your binding settings and assign a key to Alt Jump, use your alt jump key (i use L-Alt) instead of space bar to boost around the map and it will boost you horizontal instead of vertical. this makes skip packs actually work how they were intended . using space bar with a skip pack sends you whatever direction your heading by 15 meters, using alt jump will send you almost 30 meters. it only works on basic, balanced, and skip packs. i haven’t noticed a difference with power packs

I've watched a lot of these "Tips and Tricks" vids on Starfield. This one is so good, I started taking notes. Particularly the 1st tip about ship registration, the rarity vs version for weapons 2:27, the infinite storage locker at the lounge (didn't know that) 7:45, and the Starship Design Skill 11:19. Thank bro! 👍👍 #Kudos

Aw man, that piloting simulation tip is gold. Was wondering why they made tier 5 so impossible with using just your normal ship.

The note for leveling up ship upgrades works the same for the research nodes needing “unique” mods, food, etc. and yes, a unique piece counts as each individual piece per item slot.

Resource gathering tip, you can zoom with the cutter. LT like your aiming a weapon while the cutter is up and it is significantly faster to farm the resource, I just randomly discovered this during my second play through. Hope this helps somebody!

A lot of us are aware of the Fast Travel option. The issue I find is that you miss a Lot of content if you do that. Not just environmentally, but you pick up a lot of side activities just running around. Some random bit of dialogue can trigger a quest

About fast travelling to different zones. You don’t even need to enter the map. Just activate your scanner. The zone icons will pop up. Simply look at them and press the key shown on screen to fast travel. This also works with your ship, you can just hover over the icon with your scanner and fast travel to it.

Quick addition to the fast travel, you can also use F (or Scan) and select using E over the location and it gives you the option to fast travel without even pulling up a map

Maybe it only applies to ship upgrades, but for weapon engineering you can remove the mod and add it back for leveling it up, I used a sidestar and used standard barrels and long barrels because it’s relatively cheap components with sealant being the only “uncommon” one. Easy level 4 weapon engineering. Haven’t tried with spacesuit mods yet

I noticed that the small storage box behind the research terminal in the Lodge basement also has infinite storage. I put all my resources in there and pull them out to use with the terminal without having to keep running upstairs to the safe in my room.

Another sub-tip with the ship registration tip, is if you have several ships that have landed and you want to claim each to sell, register them on site one at at time so you don't lose the others. I just did it with two Ecliptic Bayonets that attacked me planet-side. Then you can sell each one off at the next spaceport.

Another tip for ship building is the ship pad at your outpost has all available options for ship building

For installing unique ship modules to rank your skill up: “Unique” pieces simply means that the installations must have different names. It doesn’t necessarily have to come specifically from the STRUCTURAL tab. You can install multiple REACTORS and BAYS with different names (which is what makes them “unique”) and it will still count toward your skill challenge.

There is a fifth tier of quality that I'm starting to see at over level 80 called Superior. I have it for my armor so far and can't seem to find it on weapons yet so maybe they're also level gated, or maxed at Advanced for them.

The 2 story Cabot bridge is the only way to get stairs instead of ladders. What I've been doing is connect a captains quarters to the lower level, then either a side or bottom bay, and a bottom docker. So my both exits are in the captain's quarters with my bed, and the stairs lead to the cargo and locker, and any utility habs I need are directly connected. Never have to actually use a ladder or jump to get around the ship.

Persuasion is tough in this game but I like that. It was too easy in Fallout and Skyrim. I have been absolutely loving Starfield. I built my own ship and love it and next I am doing an outpost.

On Xbox hold the inventory button down to open the surface map quickly. You can also open it quickly by first activating your scanner and pressing the button listed at the bottom of the screen labeled "surface map"

For xbox players use LB to sort ammo down to 1 if you were like me using D pad to count down from 10k took forever, when giving companions Ammo. LB drops by over 100. I know this saved me massive time cause the menu didnt tell me i could use LB.

I have like 18 hours in the game. After watching several of your videos, i haven't scratched the surface. I wanted to play starfield w/o watching a single video. However, there's so much in starfield it's unbelievable.

The 'fitted business suit' is the best since it actually has a 10% persuasion chance. You can obtain it fairly early on in the Ryujin quest line in Neon. Hoping they dropped more special items like this with 10% in other areas.❤

If you want to know what weapon your companion is using, draw your weapon and your companion will draw there’s. Now select trade and what they have drawn will now show up and you can see what they packing or if it needs upgraded if you have something better. Companions do have different weapon skills, so if the weapon you give can match their skill and do decent damage then all cool.

the tip about pilot sim from 1st video is amazing, and yet you delivered again in this video . big thank you 🤜🤛

One other tip I've learned is that you can transfer items between your inventory and the ship's cargo hold as long as you are within 250 distance, also if you've left something in the cargo hold and dont want to go back to your ship. You can go to most merchants and sell that item from the cargo hold to them, and then go into their buyback section and buy it back to "withdrawal" any item on your ship.

Along with pulling up your map to fast travel to nearby already-been-to locations, you can also just pull up your scanner. Press A while hovering over a marker and it will prompt you to fast travel. Works everywhere. Use it all the time and saves me from having to enter too many alt screens to get where i want locally.

Great stuff, i'm only 6 hours in and haven't left Jemison yet, been wandering far and wide on the planet and found all kinds of stuff and random encounters/Side quests (Haven't even touched the main story from Constellation). One day i'll get to finish the main story but as of now there is so much to find and do on just this one planet.

The simulator hack is definitely a star trek kobayashi maru easter egg. You hack the system just like Kirk did to win the unwinnable scenario.

The self ship registration is huge. I'll be doing that from now on. Thanks.

Quick tip, you can sell stolen item to the trade athority, and if you buy back they are now regular items removing the stolen tag

For ship building if you build a landing pad with modification station on an outpost A LOT of ship parts from all the manufacturers are unlocked. I am not sure what determines which ones but I did not even know Hopetech existed until I saw their parts on my outpost.

Awesome tip about the ship registration, thanks! Another quick tip is if your looking to level up your piloting skill you can use the flight simulator to do so. Happy flying!

Thank you for explaining the difference between basic and advanced weapons

For persuasion buff = Do the Ryujin quest line in Neon. NeuroAmp inplants +5%, Fitted Business suit +10%, Internal NeuroAmp w/shield for persuasion, intimidation, and manipulation options in conversion log, Hippolytus +20%. Bing bam boom. Plus you get the Operative helmet and suit which is just a bonus.

Registering a ship at your outpost is also even less expensive than doing it in the menu screen. It does require the landing pad/ship builder to be built.

Betty Howser is the tank I was looking for, and her dialog is the best. She is impressed by nothing my character does, like if it uses a Starborn skill the others gush all over but she’s like “is that supposed to impress me”. The actress who voiced her did a great job. Also, using the Mantis armor on the companion really makes them stand out, so I am less likely to snipe them in error.

Keep up the great work, Lt! Been with you since before you were 10K!!

for pursuasion, doing the neon Ryujin questline will get you a 10% persuade corpo outfit pretty early in

The different cost to register in the interface is a big/afterthought because it costs different to register in different locations, but the dev just pulled the lowest in the overview interface. That will probably get patched. The value you see in that screen, similar to the value of items is the full value. The price you see when talking to ship services is the actual sell price, affected by your commerce skill.

Yet another great video Buzz. What would be helpful is knowing at what level can you begin doing some of these? I know you mentioned it on the ship building but what about Betty Howser? Is the mission available to get her at lower levels or do you need to be like level 50?

A tip for fast travel. If you're on New Atlantis for example and you pull up your watch, you can look at the icons such as the residential district and select it to fast travel to the district from your watch. No need to pull up the surface map. It's really helpful when exploring a new planet. You can explore in one direction, then pull up your watch, find your ship or landing spot, and fast travel back too them then go explore in the other direction.

Fun fact the shot gun is absolutely broken with the explosive trait. So each pellet registers as a individual round so not only does it activate nearly every shot but the best part when you pellet blows up they all do so it does explosion damage 6x time for each shot which 1 hits everything even when you miss the shot

Hippolyta is pronounced - 'Hip-all-it-ah' As in Hippolyta, daughter of Ares and Otrera, queen of the Amazons, and a sister of Antiope and Melanippe. (It comes from classic mythology and the drug is named that due to how she was portrayed in mythology and Shakespeare's work a mid summer nights dream.

7:50 If you're already in the area, you can also just bring up your scanner and it'll show you the different areas of the city. From there you can simply point at them to fast travel there.

Excellent video as always! Worth noting that kills in the simulator count toward the piloting skill unlocks.

The first aid container . found in the landing ramp section of your ship. Can be use as a great storage locker. ( instead of thowing everything on the floor of your ship)

For ship builder, if you have a module on a ship that isn't "unlocked" for you, you can still duplicate it. Handy for things like weapons or engines. (I think it's control+G)

A great tip I found for movement is binding a second jump key. If you bind a second key jump key, pressing it while in the air will cause your boost pack to give you forward and slightly upwards boost. I have zero clue why it's done this way and so obscure, but it's great way to get around a bit faster, especially on low gravity planets/moons.

Wow 8m halfway thru the video and these are really good, stuff that I haven't heard yet and I've watched a bunch of these tips videos. Thanks man, keep it up!

You can also “sort” weapons in your inventory based on damage. A great way to know which weapons are strongest

Stumbled across your channel on my homepage after looking at gameranx starfield content. Wanted to say how great your channel is and I will be coming back in the future!

You can also use your scanner to fast travel to a location you've already visited by opening the scanner, pointing it at the location icon and hitting e/confirm twice.

The amount of details and things you can do in this game is simply amazing. Starts with interior design and ends with options, possibilities and such things as the simulator hacking. There should've been an achievement when hacking the simulator titled "Kobayashi Maru" referencing the Star Trek simulator test though... ;-)

I found an advanced razorback pistol in New atlantis with 35 range and 135 damage with burn effect on my first 8hours of gameplay it's still the most powerful gun iv seen in 80 hours.

Great video. Love the great detail. I’m new to the channel and look forward to more Starfeild content!

Just started playing Starfield and this video was a huge help. Thanks man!

Again awesome video!

Hahaha, you can hack the spaceflight simulation you know what that means guys don't you: we are doing the cpt. Kirks kobayashi maru😂

Some great tips there, Didn't know about Betty, so im getting her ASAP lol

thank you for the ship manufacturer tip, had no idea you could get parts from them by visiting their hqs

Tip for ship building: Top speed/maneuvering and engine power are not the same thing. If your ship has top speeds and only requires 4 power to the engine for max, then you only need 4 power in use. But if your engines require 8 power to max, then you use twice the power to achieve the same speed.

I'm still amazed that the majority of people posting tips and tricks vids don't know/use the ships menuvering thrusters in combat. It's a really easy way to keep someone in your sights rather than having to chase their red mark and find them again.

That would explain why the Advanced Maelstrom I found at level 16 has been kicking ass all the way up to level 40

Dude, I've not watched one of your videos before but I these tips are very useful! Thanks for the upload

If you max your piloting skill and bring sam coe on your ship, you get a permanent free engine power and it significantly increases your speed.
