Leviathan: A new MONSTER legendary ship build for Starfield. 

Lol.. I wouldn't go that far. Though someone did compare me to Bob Ross once.

@@TeamScorpioRI consider putting on creations pls 😢

@@TheRocks3613 I am looking at that, but the SK is really hard to use. So this may take some time. I would also be probably be starting with my older ships first.

Lol... trust me, I was giggling myself during those parts. Glad you like the ship

I have been getting a lot of requests for that. I may have to figure out how to do that through the creation store.

Thank you for the kind words!

YES!!! I would love if we could add custom logo'ing to our ships.

@@TeamScorpioRI That would be awesome like those WWII planes! Did you pick up on the Spaceballs reference

@@thorssensgamesNCC1701 oh I did... I would love to use the M-Class parts to make Spaceball 1. I don't even think my brand new super computer could handle that one though.

Thank you so much!

Thanks Shoots! There are definitely aspects of this build I am going to bring to others. Ramps are awesome (though I did ask Matilija if we could get a wide variant on them) and I likes some of the blending. I though the deimos bumper blended into the nose of the nova cowling is a nice touch on a square-ish hab.

​@TeamScorpioRI Absolutely on the deimos bumper and nova cowling. It just wouldn't look right without it! Nice touch! I also love the look you did with the ramps alternating from the center main section out to the outer sections. That looks really cool.

Usually during the preview section, I show some battle footage. I would have sown more, but the video was already an hour and a half long. Lol

Thanks Eagle!!

Hey, if you are going to blow up spacers, might as well do it with some style and comfort.. right? Rain hellfire by day, kick back in one of the multiple bars with a well deserved whiskey at night!

@@TeamScorpioRI

Good point. I have heard that you may not need it though. I have has some people say PDY works without the patch. It may depend on what you are connecting to, though.

The signs are definitely a nice touch. It's a simple mod called "signs"

#ScorpiosRule

Oooo... the Galactica would be an awesome ship!

Are you on Xbox? I have noticed that they do not handle larger ships very well.

@@TeamScorpioRI PC

I saw how xbox Laggs bad. I probably wouldn't even try it, but I never had a prob building until I tried with these mods. I mean, the Artemis lags just going to it in the ship build, and when selecting it as home ship, I can see it land in place on the landing pad. I've never seen that before. I'm honeslty hesitant about building now. Your ship is awesome, though, massive. I wish it didn't crash so I can finish it now. I'll be on it right now.

LoL. When I said the other guys massive ship, it was yours. The Artemis. I edited that comment, lol. I've been wanting to double-check on that.

Good option! I didn't think you needed that much, but go big or go home, right?? Lol

@TeamScorpioRI yep. That's how it goes😭😂😭😂😭. I've also decided to place red lit radiators along the top front. So it gives the top of the ship a bit of a glow. Next time I'll log in. I'll snap a screenshot and tag you in Wizards discord😎

Lol.. my daughter builds legos, so maybe that rubbed off on me. I actually based it off the old snap on model instructions. Same concept though

Its definitely a beast, but really its not that big. I think it just looks bigger than it really is. Most of the habs are in that main area. You could change out the bridge (add a different way to get to the captians quarters) and cut down on those front arms and you should be fine.

@TeamScorpioRI yeah it's the front arms I think I'd definitely cut down on. Other than that I love the rest especially the cockpit.

@@j.patricklindor6828 that cockpit is definitely nice. I was playing around with some builds with it and I ended up making a "tiny" ship using it. It was pretty comical.

@@TeamScorpioRI LOL! Nice! You'll have to share that in another video someday!

Thanks. Its definitely a big ship, but could be paired down a bit. Open single space 2x2 or 3x2 hab as your main, then use 2x1 habs for the offshoots. I'd use the Deimos bridge as well

@@TeamScorpioRI yes - and I will definitely shorten the arms, sorry :-). The shooting range is a great idea, this will be in the front section. I have started yesterday with the body and came to a state that could be stored. First inspection inside showed up some trouble with the bridge. One of the downwarts ramps is blocked, the lower door is not there. Actually I'm not using the PDY mod. I tried it without, there are not too much things that can go wrong in this build

I was looking for a good name for an arch-demon (as this is inspired by my Archangel). This just stuck out.

@@TeamScorpioRI My inspiration is from the TV show Farscape. 🙂

I would if I knew how. I need to figure out how to upload via the creation kit.

lol.. Go big or Go home, right? On the plus side, after you follow along with this build you should be comfortable building any ship you like.

​@TeamScorpioRI I am building this as I type, but I am having an issue with the vertical Matilija shield booster (where it crosses, your time stamp 20:07). It comes up in equipment like you said but it's in red 😢....I'll figure it out somehow...I like this build for it not to work....out comes the hammer and duct tape 😊

@@judith.m1081 those are very tricky to place as the attachment points are funky. But you mention it's coming up red, which sounds like an issue with the "Ship Building Tweaks". Did you have any other issues blending parts up until now? T

​​@@TeamScorpioRI No, none, it's been smooth sailing till this point. I also put it last in load order like you suggested.

​@TeamScorpioRI I want to say thank you. It took 9 hours, but I got it finished with a couple of weapons tweaks. Your video is so clear and this is an absolutely amazing ship.

Thank you very much!

Is that the one from Nexus that drops all power to 2? Nice! I have been messing around with Darkstar weapons on a new build. Weird power requirements, but they cut through anything like a chainsaw. I used one "mini-nuke" on the build and it was just tearing things up.

Matilija Aerospace. Make sure you update to the latest version. They should be under Habs

Interesting. I didn't have a problem with fitting the G on the back. But if the F worked for you, all the better.

It's from Matilija Aerospace. You need to have the v3 update and be level 95 to unlock it.

It definitely looks possible.

Darkstar is an awesome mod, but to me it's just a power boost for existing pieces. Definitely viable if you want to make this ship even stronger.

It sounds like the Ship Building Tweaks mod is not loaded correctly. Make sure that mod is last in your load order. If not, other mods reset the tolerance values. Drop that mod last in the load order and restart the game. That SHOULD fix things.

@@TeamScorpioRI I was gonna come back to say that i managed to do it !! I had to reinstall the mod (it was at last position so i don't really know why it wasn't working) But all is ok now, thanks for the reply !

@@SloanDurant Glad its working. I find with the Creation Club I have to uninstall and reinstall the mods after every update. The auto-update option never works.

On the front arms, those were a little tricky to place. You can not worry about the blend portion on the bottom and just put the cannons on the top spine. The ship looks fine either way.

Never heard of it. I can add it to the list to attempt. Might be a while as I have a couple builds in the works currently.

@TeamScorpioRI that's no worries I'm just grateful u took time to read and reply ^_^

@@sophieawalker5574 Always! I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video. :-)

I agree. A lot of the things that we can do with mods (build bigger ships, more module, flip parts all different ways, blend parts) should be part of the regular game. I will hand it to modders like Matilija who add some amazing unique parts to the game (this bridge is incredible).

I honestly don't know. I have it, but I have had others say it works fine without it.

Typically the default ones: fShipBuilderModuleOverlapTolerance=-10.0000 fShipBuilderMouseZoomSpeedMultiplier=4 fShipBuilderGamepadZoomSpeedMultiplier=1.2 fShipBuilderZoomMinScale=4 fShipBuilderMaxFloor=50 fShipBuilderMinFloor=-50 fShipBuilderMousePanSpeed=2.25 fShipBuilderGamepadPanSpeed=45 fShipBuilderMouseRotationSpeedMultiplier=9 fShipBuilderFloorChangeDuration=0.35

@TeamScorpioRI thank you ^_^

Yeah. Sorry for the delay. This one took a little while to get done.

What level are you? I believe the bridge unlocks at level 95.

Console commands. When you are doing a lot of ship building and concepts, its easier not to worry about credits.

That sucks. Does going through the Unity fix it?

@@TeamScorpioRII had already tried and nothing always the same patience now I start again 😅

Ugh.. That really sucks!

Do you see the new big bridge for Matilija? If not, then you may not have V3 loaded (I had to completely delete the mod and reload it, then restart the game for it to actually load). The ramps should be under the Habs section.

Trying to find a good design that I like. I also want to recreate the Vengeance MK3, now that the last update broke it. Right now working on a build for WizeOldWizard's Ship Contest.

@@TeamScorpioRI ok cool thx

This sound like the "Ship Building Tweaks" mod is not changing the overlap tolerance correctly. Check the load order (it needs to be last) and then make sure you hard restart the game after changing your order.

Update: nevermind, turns out I can just place them at the attach points instead of doing it the way you did.

Glad you got that figured out. Sorry I didn't respond earlier.

As in you don't have the option to select the stairs or cockpit, or they are physically there but they cannot be placed on the ship?

Not sure what the command is on Xbox. You don't want to duplicate the boosters as they don't attach to each other like that (why, who knows). What you want to do is hover over the hookpoint at the end of the booster till you see the attach option. On PC, that is the default option, and I have to hit "CTRL + G" to duplicate.

@@TeamScorpioRI thanks man, i could not find the command but i found a workaround it and i am happy of the result!! I think i got to make it bit smaller as it seems is too much for my console to make it work, i got the build done but almost every time i warp i get a black screen and have to exit the game..

@@Jump92 Yeah... These Legendary ships are not Xbox friendly. I am going to have to put a disclaimer on my next legendary build that recommends not building it on Xbox (it makes the Leviathan look tiny)

Sadly, yes it does. You would need to go back through any ships you have built and replace doors. It is worth it, IMO. With the pathing system in the vanilla builder being so awful, it really is a game changer when building ships. Thanks for the kind words on the ship! I'm working on a couple more ships right now. One may be a little TOO big (its another 20m bigger than Leviathan, and 5 floors higher). lol

I'm curious on how they will handle the expansion. Apparently the whole world is rendered, vs randomly generated. Plus rumor is that there is going to be something new for us ship builders. I'm hoping it's a new manufacturer

God, I hope not. Those thinks are amazing. What level are you?

@@TeamScorpioRI level 95

@@firephoenix96 hmmm... they should be there, then. 95 unlocks all parts for Matilija

@@TeamScorpioRI Reloaded the mod and it is working...Is there any mod used for the interior

@@firephoenix96 I use a bunch of different ones, but generally I leave interiors up to you to decorate how you want. If you want to follow what I did, I use Better Buildable Walls and Doors (my new favorite for interiors), The Skully's Emporium Mods (there is 3 of them I believe), Better Living, Aquarium Outpost Decoration (that huge aquarium tank), and Betamax's Functional Decor. Those get you pretty much anything you need to decorate.

Another viewer had the same issue. It sounds like an issue with the Ship Building Tweaks mod, as that is what glitches it in place. I would try deleting that mod, reloading it, and making sure its at the bottom of your load order. other consideration is maybe a change to Matilija since this ship was built. I know he just released V4 of his mod, which I haven't tested yet (working on a non-modded build)

@@TeamScorpioRI I have deleted and reinstalled the mod, the problem persists, and is also stopping me putting the engines/bracer and spine combo on the rear of the habs too. There are many parts of this build that no longer work, sadly.

It definitely sounds like an issue with ship building tweaks. Is the builder giving you a "ship exceeds maximum length" error with just the habs? If so then you can just download the Ship Part Merging Enabled mod to get the parts merging option. If it is giving you that error, then something else is up. SBT is the last mod in your load order, correct?

@@TeamScorpioRI I have put the ship part merging mod on too, it has not helped at all. SBT is last in the load order, yes. I get no errors, other than the parts won't attach, or overlap as they should. The trim pieces, all along the front arms won't merge either. Actually, pretty much no parts will merge together, at all. From any shipyard, not just matilija. It's a problem on any part which has to blend or merge with another. The second part added, just stays red.

Interesting. Are you on PC or Xbox?

Sounds like Ship Building Tweaks didn't load right. I would uninstall the mod, restart the game, then reinstall it, and then restart the game again.

@TeamScorpioRI Thanks loads. I'll try it out. *the only mods I'm using are the ones you mentioned at the start of your video. I did install them and then get straight on with the build. It could have been just a simple restart that was required. 👍

@@EJWoodford Usually with anything downloaded from the creation store, you have to fully restart the game to see changes take effect. Even though it says its loading the new data files. Only thing that is really needed is that Ship Building Tweaks is last in your load order (you can change that through the creation store)

@TeamScorpioRI I Feel like a numpty now lol, I'm very aware of how important it is to restart after any kind of installation. Eager beaver! I'm surprised I got as far as I did to be honest. I managed to pretty much complete the first core phase of habs, but had to stack all the cargo holds and remaining items on the arms randomly, to allow me to save the ship into a 'useable' state. It doesn't look pretty yet, but I'll continue later. 🙏

@@EJWoodford I love the "slap things wherever just to save" look. I have a few ships in my fleet that are just thrown together and saved.

Weird, as breaking engines are structural and not actual engines. Do you have the mod called "Ship Thrusters Empowered" or "Ship Combat Revised". I know that changes the breaking engines to be more useful (but still didn't think it affected how they are classified).

Actually, i just realised i do have ship thrusters empowered... There's my answer...​@TeamScorpioRI

Sup Matthew!

@@TeamScorpioRI this build is huge man you always impress

@@matthewrobinett1012 lol.. just wait till you see what I have planned next. It will make this look like a snub nose fighter. Lol

Nope never mind I can't even build the ship. Matilija's Aerospace it's completely broken for me I can't even place the cockpit I need let alone the stairwell. I'm just going to smash that uninstall button...

Matilija just put out a post on his YourTube community page about updating. Apparently there was an issue with his previous update (something on how his file was saved). Let me look it up quick.

This is directly from his page... "I made a critical error, and for that I apologize for the inconvenience, about 3 weeks ago, I uploaded version 3 of my mod on Nexus, then released it on Creations, I realized right away that I had made a mistake and accidentally uploaded a "mid" master version, I fixed it right away with a full master version and uploaded 3.01 on Creations, but it was brought to my attention last night that I had neglected to upload the correct full master version on Nexus mods, so I did that last night and put a warning in the changelog that due to it changing it's master type, to not update until you are either planning to restart, or have just gone through the unity in order to not break your save files" Looks like you need to go through the Unity in order to get the mod working again. At least that is how I read that. This was just posted yesterday.

@@TeamScorpioRI yeah I'm subscribed to him on RU-vid unfortunately I seem to have missed that little update on the RU-vid end of things so I can't build your ship design right now which kind of sucks... I'm having a bad week. And I can't go through Unity because this particular character hasn't even gotten that far yet.

Had to delete the mod and reinstall

One of the things I don't like about the creation store is that you have to actually delete the mod and reinstall. Though be careful. I would hold off on building this ship for a couple days till Matilija releases his patch. There is an issue right now with it. See my video description for details.

@TeamScorpioRI thank you haha had to take a break because of the bugs but amazing ship my dude! Where did you get the avontech shielded cargo from? Red Mile?

Avontech should show up when you are building at your outpost. Most of the time, modded parts will be there.

Quick one when "attaching" boosters I'm on controller and does give me the "attach" button like at 51:43 anyway around it?

If those are your jam, cool.

Yep.. Tiger Shipyard shield generator, 3 Tiger shield boosters, and 14 Matilija shield boosters. Nothing is getting through that.

He can literally just set there and sip his coffee before he even thinks about attacking back. 😂

I was debating on using some class M parts. There is a reactor and a shield generator that I like. But a lot of the M Class parts just are not viable or usable. In the end I decided that the TIG reactor functioned just as well without the need to load that mod.

Cool! Lets see it!

Really? Thats interesting as I play on extreme difficulty on NG4. This ship's stats hold up just fine.

Wtf do you consider 'strong' stats? You can lay waste to anything on extreme with Matilija's weapons, nothing vanilla even comes close. Heck, you can run extreme just using the vanilla vanguard weapons, pretty much everything mods add is overkill.

You see a ship with these stats and think you can only play on normal?? How bad are you at this game????

Weak!? His weapons all reach 1k! Like what? I play on max difficulty and keep my weapon load outs low like in the 100s just so it's not one hit kills and adds a little realism and fun. Bahaha you have to be joking!
