Upgrade the Mantis Razorleaf to the Most Powerful Ship in Starfield 

DOVAHKIIN!!!!

That is good to know.

I thought about that at one point for a ship idea, it wasn't really my style, yet again I have to farm out the levels and invest into my tech to max it out.

I'm picking it back up on the 15th when the update drops.

Waaaaaaghhhhh!!!

Don’t tell me how to role play!… ;)

I think that’s a good trade if you want EM weapons

Or you put a non automatic ray on the top, so that you don't spam and destroy the ship but you use it to disable the engines 🤓

That is very odd. Just to confirm: have you tried placing the Workshop Hab? The Workshop Hab has the crafting stations, at least until the most recent May Update is released (for Xbox players), at which point you could also place crafting stations in any Hab using the new Decorate mode.

Here is a video on ship parts that covers turrets: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PW7ErWSrGQs.html You can get great damage output from particle beam turrets, but I wouldn’t bother with ballistic or laser turrets. That is because ballistic weapons don’t do much damage to shields, but the turret doesn’t know this, and will still fire at an enemy ship and waste ammo that isn’t doing much damage until their shields are depleted. The inverse is true for lasers, they primarily damage shields but don’t do much damage to hull. Particle beams damage both equally, so if you equip turrets, they should be particle beams, as the turrets will fire regardless. The other aspect about turrets is that it can be advantageous to place them facing in different cardinal directions, so your blind spots are covered. However, this also limits the amount of focused damage output you can deal on a single target at one time, as the turrets can only cover about 90 degrees (they cannot turn a full 360 degrees). It’s a trade-off. I find turrets are better for slower ships with C Class engines, and/or ships with low mobility, as your ability to dogfight is limited by your engine performance so having side and back coverage is a good idea. For a fast and mobile ship, being able to focus all of your damage output on a single target eliminates them so much quicker. Plus, you are in control of when the weapons fire, so if an enemy boosts away and your weapons lose their target lock, you either stop firing to not waste ammo (turrets keep firing but miss), or if you’re good enough you can manually aim and still hit your target. Some of the best particle beam turrets in regards to damage: Obliterator 250MeV Alpha Turret PBO-300 Auto Alpha Turret PBO-100 Auto Neutron Turret Eradicator 75MeV Auto Neutron Turret

@@ShipTechnician thank you for the thoughtout reply amazing!!!!

Great question! The best crew only requires 4 crew spaces, depending on your ship’s weapons. For a ship with all particle beams, Barrett gives those a boost. Otherwise, you may want to either swap out Barrett for someone else that gives other weapons types a bump, or add an additional crew member. -Sam for a boost to top speed, an extra engine power point, and his payloads skill -Omari for extra shield power point -Andromeda or Vasco for an extra reactor power point (you only get the boost from one, not both, and Vasco is glitchy and gets in the way a lot, so I’d recommend Andromeda) Barrett for a boost to particle beams (you can also add Sarah for her Astrodynamics skill which reduces your fuel consumption, but you probably don’t need it if your own character’s skill is maxed, and you don’t want to listen to her complain all the time. She doesn’t count against crew space because of her Leadship skill though, so she kinda doesn’t count).

@@ShipTechnician Thanks! I never realized there were so many possibilities. I never knew all of these recruits were out there till I looked at the wiki

They broke, or turned off ship landings in one of the patches. It's suppose to be fixed in the latest beta (on steam now).

A B class under 1000 with 4 3015 engines goes 180 and has 100 mobility. B is the sleeper class that outperforms A and C class ships

@@travisbaez8430 this doesen't work since Update in March, afaik.

Use your outpost landing pad 👍🏻

@@Pighandler thanks

Yes it does, it worked for me.

They change the game for me. I love it. I’ve wanted more difficulty for a long time, and also wanted vendors to have more credits so I can easily build more ships!

@@ShipTechnician same here. It’s gotten me totally re-obsessed into the game. You may have mentioned this before but I haven’t really seen anyone talk about it in a video - the throttle meter on the ship HUD when you’re flying, the lower left hand corner has that sliding bar that shows how much throttle you’re giving your ship, and in the middle of the meter there’s a thicker white bar that shows where your thrust should be to give you optimum turning radius. I’ve tested it with my most and least maneuverable ships and it’s a useful thing to pay attention to because you can definitely turn much more tightly in a super massive ship if you keep your throttle in the middle of that white bar. I’m always tempted to keep my throttle mashed down but that’s usually what costs me my turning radius.

Lol I tend to board ships on the ground now because my ship is so OP

Do you have the perks unlocked and the right crew? They both add damage.

@@Blasted2Oblivion for some reason it says I can only have a couple people out of 5 on my crew. Pilot Max and ship design max. So only have 2 plus my companion.

@@Powder323 There are other skills that specifically boost ship weapons. If you only have those two, that might be part of the problem.

Ah the perks forgot about those working on particle one now

Landing Pad with Shipbuilder, at your outpost. It has all the parts except for the "exclusives" like the cockpits and 3x2 habs.

@@SlyBlu7 I found out already, got my reactor from the red mile and then just finished on oupost

Where can you put the new reactor on the ship to bring it to outpost to be able to get the test of the parts ?

@@silentscott88 I moved all engines to one side, then went to the red mile to get it. Idk where it is, but I'm sure it's in the Porrima system

@@silentscott88 you have to make the ship look a lil weird for like 3 mins.. it looks hella goofy bru

Im running 76 135 87

That’s a good question…have you leveled up your tech skill tree? Another thing to check may be what crew you have assigned and if that impacts the stat box displayed?

Particle Beam Weapon Systems Skill my friend

Good question. Class C does not mean best. Class A does not mean worst. Class A engines are the fastest in the game. Class C engines are the slowest. This has a meaningful difference in combat. Further, what many think are some of the best engines in the game, the Class C SAL-6830s, actually have trouble overcoming their own high mass and therefore are outperformed, pound-per-pound by many Class A and Class B engines. Here is a deep dive on that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6ekfDDZb5RI.html Even further, the Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojector particle beam weapons are Class A and are some of the best weapons in the game.

@@ShipTechnician thats really insightful thanks for the infos

That's your opinion and you are entitled to it. That said, I feel it's important to let you know that you left your caps lock on.

😂😂😂😂

They can be a pain as you increase your ship’s mass, absolutely. For this build, I kept things as lightweight as possible to get top flight performance, but around the 18:37 mark I very briefly touch on swapping out the initial landing gear for some with more Landing Thrust. I don’t go deep into landing gear in this video, but do have a separate guide where I discuss them further: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PW7ErWSrGQs.html The primary stat for landing gear is their Landing Thrust. As with most things, the more the better. The maximum you can find in the game is 4 Landing Thrust per landing gear, and a basic rule of thumb is you need 1 Landing Thrust per 200 Mass, rounding up.
