I BUILT THE SMALLEST SHIP POSSIBLE - STARFIELD 

Landing bay from nova is better for your configuration, removes that lower hab, and allows for the shield and cargo to be placed on the sides of the top hab.

you can build smaller and with a shield. use a longer ramp then you can put a long cockpit on the very front of it. that way the cokpit has points for shields and also the fuel tank fits there. it might seem counter intuitive to use a longer cokpit. but overall the ship is gonna be smaller. because you can put the components not only length wise but also sideways, that way you are more compact on a lot smaller footprint.

First ship for me will be the Eagle Transport from Space 1999.... yeah showing my age:)

Yeah you can make a smaller ship with weapon room with basic parts. Just go with the starter bay with the smallest cockpit on the front and a hab on the back. Then put the chicken legs landers on the sides on the hab and 1x1 reactor and jump drive behind the hab and bay. Then strap some small cylinder engines like the White Dwarf 1000 on the sides of the reactor and a fuel pod on the back with a rear facing shield generator. That leaves you 3 slots on the top on the ship for a docker and weapons

You need to spend LOADS more time playing with the ship builder and touring the staryards . . . You can easily build a ship that’s 25 meters long (total) and 25 meters wide (total) without using any glitches and still have nice aesthetics. And if you don’t care how it looks you can get down even smaller than that

my ship is 18 length 11 width and decked out. with 100 mobility. 410 cargo and 7 guns. its lovely

I'm glad i wasn't the only one wondering about this

I attempted this myself and I think I made a smaller ship! But this helped me a ton! Thanks!

Putting thew shield didnt break the configuration, it had that error right from the start, you need to pay attention to the arrowed connection points for entry to the landing bays and cockpits

If you glitches reactor+gravimotor, it can be much more smaller.😎

the battle bus of starfield

You can move the flat docker to the underside to make it smaller.

Bro, it seems you built the shortest ship instead of the smallest/most compact

Now build the biggest. ;)

You are thinking linearly as small. IF you took the pieces and made a cube out of the structure you could have placed the turret on the top and it would have had better coverage.

Dumb question but can't cockpit and landing bay be on same level?

I was able to make a ship with a 12m Fore/Aft and a 10m Port/Stbd. Use hope parts for bay, hab, and cockpit, Nova gear not the angled ones from the frontier), Deimos thin docker, and Hercules engines. (If I remember correctly) willing to post proof of it too

I am taking the engines from the Razorleaf and making The snubbiest snub fighter I can make keeping shields and three em weapons grouped together on one fire group. No missles or seconday fire group. I will just have to go wider.

Finally someone did a build like this! I like it simply because it has overpowered C reactor add a few rail guns up front with that auto turret behind for protection its perfect as a ship hunter 😁Now all I need to do is to get my traits up so i can build something similar 😜

Ali: You build something that is not legit, no tricks to make small. Make another that everyone can build without tricks or glitch.

can't wait until a mod comes out that removes regional ship part lock

Bruh I got you beat I made a ship with a mass of 196 😂😂 it’s literally one hab one hope 5 landing gear with the grav reactor and engine in the back of em

Fantastic ship, and kinda fits what i want to create. I want something like the Kodiak shuttle from Mass Effect, at least in size.

I want to see a video of the smallest ship actually possible. Also the lowest weight ship. This was small. But there was an extra hab piece and the fuel could be made smaller

congrats, you made a fighter.

I made a ship so small I can no longer get in or out of it

Ironically, I made one even smaller than this.

Great video, you had the cockpit issue before the shield though

I made a tiny round ship and she's so cute! Has hella cargo and stuff and still as tiny as I can get

by adding the second 1 by 1 hab you failed the smallest ship possible claim.

i wish we didnt need a hab, i want to connect my bay directly to my cockpit

When everyone always aims for the BIGGEST or the FASTEST or the PERFECT ship, you aim for the smallest. Bravo! You basically built a shuttle or a runabout.

It looks like a bus 😂

If you want the smallest ship then do the merge glitch on reactors fuel and shield and grave drive. And even merge the engines

got mine down to 09m wide and 17m long and only 3 stacks high. granted i put weapons and a shield it's a little heavier at 495 mass. small ships are fun.

Why not make an asymmetrical 2x2x2 ship using a side landing bay? Could eliminate the extra 1x1x1 hab unit. Would be more of a mini space truck. But that's fine.

You could put a side mounted shield on it

Mine is smaller than this. Try the overlapping glitch, is is very useful with creating cleaner looking ships, more compact, and you can even hide the hard points, fuel containers, etc, within structure components. (You can also hide the cockpit, and still have visibility, kinda like a virtual window to the outside)

"Mines smaller"

Like it 👍🏾 This what I’m trying to build now frustrating

The Motorcycle of space ships

i was able to create a ship with 14m(or13m i dont remember atm) and 9m, with only 1 hab to connect the cockpit and landing bay. it has 30ly jump range and 100 mobility, 140 top speed with (i think) a shield generator and 3 particle beam weapons and has 140 (or 160) fuel capacity, only problem is that it has exactly 400 mass so i cant add cargo parts even tho there is space on the ship to do so, i can change the landing gear to the hopetech ones since they have more landing thrust but they look just a little bit bigger than the taiyo ones so i decided not to change them. but if changed you can add cargo and a bigger fuel capacity with no problem. oh and the reactor is able to power every part of the ship fully except for the grav drive with only 4 power, and its a fully class A ship, just needs a level or two in the starship design if i remember correctly

i hate to be the one to say this and ruin starfield, but in space there is no resistance and everything is weightless - so i dont get how come there are speed differences

I put a flat docker below my hab and use an overseer bridge over it. My ship is like half the size of yours lmao impossible until you get to level 35 because that's when it unlocks, but yeah you can get way smaller

Nice ship, but I managed to make one that's even smaller at 16m long!

Smallest ship ive made with glitches is 24Long x 20Wide class c max speed 150 and 100 mobility, 1600 shield, 550 cargo/some shielded with jammer under shield, all weapons stacked on the ng15 landing gear and 2 suppressors under the ng landing bay. It can out maneuver any npc ship and has the firepower to delete anything

Mine my ship "Kuki" has a length of 13 m only. Too small and maneuverable

It's a shame all the ship weapons have autoaim and never miss. There is no point to making a small and agile ship.

How do you get so many credits?

Nova bay is smaller that that. Nova 4 thrust gear is smaller that that. Tayo cockpit is smaller. There are smaller fuel tanks.

Hardly the smallest function ship design. If you go to Neon and the Taiyo Showroom, you will see an example of one of the smaller ship designs on their showroom floor. But even this is huge compared to the micro ship I can design. Smallest ship is just 14m long, 9m wide and just two levels. and it is fully functional. Which if you wish to put into context, this ship is the size of two 3x2 hab modules placed one on top of the other.

Happy to see new builder designs but that ain’t small and helps if you learn where you can put stuff like for instance you can have a shield on the side a reactor and grav drives and fuel. Also using Deimos spines you can put 2 spines that have 3 gun positions so you can get 6 weapons with 2 nova wings you can put engines on the back of them and 2 weapons one on the end and one on the top. You can compact the ship to the Armstrong cockpit, 1x1 hab hopetech loading bay on the bottom docker on the top and have the grav drive reactor and fuel on either side then engines attached to that.makes it around 17x17

You could have very placed a turret underneath in the void left by the landing gear and ramp.

imma name my ship star beetle 🤣

Feel like if you use an upside down boarding dock instead of an attached on on top you could get a second weapon up top

I found this specifically looking for the fastest possible ship. I'd assume it's class C & has a dumb amount of engines.

Aweee.....lol...a space skiff

The Taiyō landing bay opens into the fuel tank not vertically into the cockpit.

It's kinda like a search and rescue ship. I like it.

brother do you *really* know how to use the builder..?

ngl dude i get to 490 on the boost with a max size ship on 4 class C engines

The Austin Mini Ship

Far away from being the smallest. And it can be small and look ok too

Looks like a train

It's a Tic Tac

Racoon is shorter I think

Flip the landing bay..to glitch in place...

Reverse bay and move back one, put hab on bottom of cockpit docker bottom of hab.

That’s impressive

I wish Bethesda can make the game have even smaller ships just the cockpit and engine cum reactor without any landing bay. Like a Star Wars tie-figher you just hop into the cockpit and go. Hopefully someone will able to make a mod for it, fingers crossed

He hasn't seen r/Reybanz 3x3... I like the ship. Gonna try it.

Can’t even play the game but would love starfighters in the future

Oh man, not only is this not as small as you could go it’s not even as fast as you could go. B class engines top speed is 140. A class alone would have gotten you to 150.

Literally all I do is get on and go to a place. Don't sleep on it. Don't store things on it. I want a ship like the Razorback from the Expanse. Like a cockpit with an engine on the back. I guess small wasn't what I was after. Nano maybe.

I really want to make a tiny ship and call it the fly, cause it’s fast and annoying

Smaller fuel tank

The oceangate

Hmm not that small tbh

Had the same idea. Lessee how I fare.

I actually managed to build a microi better ship.. only a lil more mass then u.. bout 400.. but i can mess up prrty much any ship that comes my way.. one huge advantage of miny ships is, u dont need much power for all ur systems, just one weapon type, and/so u dont have to switch around energy mid fight, to optimise stuff.. i just have shield, reactor/engines and weapon on full power.. par beam weps.. or the 3x 2power vangauard guns.. its great ;)

how do you have unlimited boost? are you cheating?

Needs to be smaller.

The Gek Speeder ,

You can go smaller

im gonna make me a small ship, but not as small as yours 😂

Lol 😂 my ship black death is smaller

I think you need to spend more time in the ship builder.. .don't label a video 'the smallest ship in Starfield' when the weight's over 300mass.. .maybe just call it the smallest ship that YOU have managed to build in the game so far

Clickbait

I really wish our ship cargo was unique to the ship. Sucks moving over to a tiny ship and having the cargo instantly overfilled. Also… you ship isn’t that small at all. 😂 You can go much smaller.

Cool video. Im bored by this "look at my ship its the possible u have to rebuilde" guys

Within 5 minutes you strayed from your mission of making the smallest possible ship just because you wanted landing bay at the front. Weak.

Even if you used some kind of exploit, or have a money farm on an outpost, you must have been sadly sadly grinding for a very long time to get that amount of money. Or you gave up on the stupid, dumb, time wasting design of this game, and used mods or console commands to give yourself that much money. No matter how many goods and valuables you accumulate, all the vendors in this game are poor. That means you can't sell any of the hordes of resources or items that you collect and accumulate, unless you travel all around the star system, walk super slowly because you're over encumbered, wait 48 hours for vendors to respawn their 5000 credits, and have to sell your higher value items for less than they're worth because the vendors are poor. Let's all stop pretending that this game is overall good in its vanilla state. I just got tired of the grinding and finally use the console command to opt out of the economy completely. My only reason for playing at this point just to level up my character. I still collect hordes of loot, which I use to barter for ammo, digipicks, and med packs. Of course, I only profit 5K per vendor because did I mention that THEY ARE POOR?!?! Sorry for my rant, you built a cool little ship, and it's a good video otherwise.

The Spacer Raccoon is far smaller.

why don't you try to build starbug
