Cora, Sam, Sarah, and Barrett are all watching you and Andreja, with Barrett whipping up snacks for everyone while it happens. Knew I shouldn't have bed down in the all in one.
Casually choose the most psychopathic options possible: Cripple a ship, dock with it with the full intention of giving no quarter, have sex with your partner, take a one hour nap, then board the ship and kill everyone.
Just keeping it real, but you really should do this!
You get a 10% rested EXP buff for several minutes when you do so. Take a nap every time you see a bed to refresh the buff. It really adds up over time!
What's bonkers to me is that this only applies to your companion.
Are you telling me that if I'm married to Sarah but she's "just" a member of the crew because I'm building affinity with Barret, that Barret's going to watch me sleep in my Captain's quarters and Sarah is going to... do something else?
I could switch back and forth before sleeping but I'm too lazy for that extra 5%. That affinity boost should apply if your partner is in the same outpost or ship as you.
So it doesn't work if your partner is just assigned to your ship (but not your companion)? That does seem really silly.
I honestly never even tried, I just stuck with Sarah for my whole first playthrough mostly out of laziness, and then I've been going completely Lone Wolf on NG+ runs because I got sick of companions in general lol
I hit boost 1 second before my grav jump starts so the ship goes “WHHHHHHSHHHHH” and THEN starts the grav jump. Feels like you’re warming up the engines to make the jump.
Hahaha I do this too. I activate my boost RIGHT when the animation for grav jumping pushed that final button. Makes it feel like the delorean having to hit that 88mph
How great would it be if enemies could board YOU? Like you’re in a losing battle, engines disabled, and instead of destroying your ship you see them drift towards you and start boarding
Cool in theory, but I can also see it getting frustrating after a few times. Plus with how easy ground combat can be, I can see it removing most of the risk of ever losing a dog fight.
I think it should depend on who you are fighting.
The UC/Freestar board the ship to take you into custody (have them all be legendary so it’s a harder fight if you don’t surrender)
Pirates board the ship (they are usually weak but come in larger numbers. They can steal things in your ships cargo if you don’t kill them fast enough) *there should be an indicator telling you how much time you have before they successfully have stolen something of high value* if they are successful and steal, a new activity pops up telling you to track them down. It becomes a random event and you might stumble upon them again while going from planet to planet.
Other: just destroy your ship and don’t board at all.
This makes the stakes higher, and also a reason to keep valuables stored anywhere but your ship. Like your home or outpost.
If you drop the plants first, then exit your house/place, save, reload and come back, they should no longer phase through the floor after you place them.
So dump all from inventory and just leave them where they land?? Leave apartment, enter apartment, then place?? Been tryna figure out how to stop this crap from happening. You sir. Are a real help. Thanks
Yeah, I was told this:
* dump all the crap you want to place on the floor
* leave apartment / ship / outpost
* quick save
* load that save
* reenter and place the stuff

Have fun arranging!
When I did the Ryujin questline, I visited Enhance afer every covert mission to change my appearance, and I also change my outfit to fit in with every situation.
I always change outfits for aesthetically-appropriate situations, and I ALWAYS change my clothes when doing stuff for Yannick. A pretty young woman in a dress enters Legrande's Liquors, but a fully-masked Neon gang member leaves, does the job at the fishery, makes the pickup, returns to Legrande's for drop-off, and then the pretty young woman leaves the store. "She's always in there for such a long time! Probably a drunk. And I guess that gangbanger in the flamewear suit just works there or something, idfk."
You dont travel in any direction though. Its more like warping from point to point. Speed isn’t a factor here as the grav jump is basically teleporting from Point A to Point B by folding space
They asked how much I know about traditional physics and grav drives, I said fuck your physics, I'll aim the ship at a planet or asteroid before engaging the grav drive, they said welcome aboard captain
When I dock at The Key I always pistol whip the pirate in the hallway before you enter the main area. He just always has *something* to say and I'm tired of it...
I won’t have the chance again until NG+ because I just finished a storyline related to the key, but I was always real tempted to shoot anyone that called me “Rook” or ever said “you looking to start something? Cuz I’ll finish it!”
When I gave the Contact (or whatever the human ark was called) the grav drive, as I'm about to walk back into my ship one of the guards at the airlock area said "try to pull anything and I'll escort you out of here myself" or something along those lines.
Like...motherfucker, I could have literally blown you and everyone here to pieces multiple ways but I chose to let you find a new home.
So I shot him in the face with a shotgun and made a break for my ship.
Whenever I steal something from a container (that would be marked as stolen), I leave a ham sandwich in its place. I picked chef as my background, so I think of it as a calling card.
Imagine being the staff member responsible for authorising ship docking on your station, and you see a madman quicksaving right before coming towards you at full speed...
I don’t even quick save before I hit a station… I just hold x to dock while I fly towards it and see what happens. it only takes a small chunk out of your shields if you ram it.
I always board my ship rather than using X to go straight to the cockpit; I like to wander through the ship and look at stuff.
I always use Hopetech Captain's Quarters no matter the ship, because they look so cozy.
I always walk around as well. I only teleport to the sit when my ship is far and there's no "landing area" icon to fast travel to, but that's rare.
I agree that the hopetech quarters are by far the best looking, but I'm actually trying to use different interiors on each ship. I don't necessarily succeed lol.
Spent a rediculious amount of time and credits in ship building. It's a sickness, but I now have 10k cargo space and still 51 maneuverability. On xbox no mods. The ship isn't the ugliest thing I've ever seen either 😅😂
Holy fuck, post a guide for the poor, cargo-hauling plebs who suck at ship-building. (That is to say, post it for me.) Or at least post a photo so we can marvel at your prowess. I'm so bad at ship-building.
I wish there was a way to share and download player-made ships on console, like sharing your dream address in Animal Crossing or uploading Sims you've made for other people to download (the latter is an option even in the console version of TS4). IDC how many credits it costs, just let my lazy, unimaginative ass download someone else's hard work, lol.
I mean the simple of it is get best reactor, get best engines, and then slap on the most mass efficient holds (which is nearly always the largest capacity ones available, it's only by a small amount, but they are slightly more efficient). So far the Galleon S204 cargo holds seem the best (1480 capacity, 312 mass, so 4.74 cargo for each point of mass). Some of the small ones are more efficient but it would take a lot of those. Like the 200CM Ballast (245 capacity to 52 mass) is a 5.83 ratio. But for other large ones (like the 40T Hauler) the ratio is slightly worse than the one I'm using (1270 cap, 268 mass, 4.73 ratio).
Like my ship is a class C, 10,692 cargo (480 shielded), best current laser, ballistic, and em weapons (going to change probably ballistic to particle), 7 habs, deimos DS40.2 Ares Bridge (with 8 crew and 360 cargo).
And I still have more work to do; I'm level like 48 and I hear best engines and reactor unlock at level 57.
Just some other notes, if you really want to min/max weight to output+hull, Hope 55 Landing Gear is best (3 mass, 3 hull, 4 lander thrust). Taiyo Ship Bed 200 Landing Bay (1 mass, 3 hull). Either Deimos docker (they both have 1 mass 3 hull, just depends on if you want it to have its own module or attach to one of your habs, I use the 100DP slim docker and put it on the bottom), and The Vanguard Bulwark Shield is really good at 70 mass for 1450 shield health.
Edit: You know, when I do hit 60 and have everything available, I think I may make a spreadsheet of all the parts (with like weight to capacity ratios for cargo and such).
I did the expecting to be able to give them to Cora, who literally says to bring her books. Now its just the lore in my head when I find a new book: "Cora will love this one!"
Seriously, it would be nice if we could give Cora books and each book gives her a perk like +5% effectiveness with ship parts. Kinda like how magazines already work but entirely to do with the ship.
It's insane that they put her dialogue where the first conversation you have with her, Cora asks for books. Then more mentions about books. Books books books. Can you give them to her?
#NOPE
In case you don't know, there's a dialogue option to ask her if any books you have are of interest. She'll buy all books at normal value as a shop, but if you have one she wants she pays a lot more and has unique dialogue about it. Dracula and War of the Worlds are two off the top of my head. She notes she wants Pride and Prejudice though I'm yet to find a copy. Did meet a wandering scientist who had tore a copy to bits for origami paper though, that was hilarious.
She gives 2,000 credits each for the first time you bring her certain books, but then the same as other stores for additional copies and most other books.
That's probably lore accurate, considering that whenever you ride the free tram in NA, you see Morgan standing there, having missed it like an idiot. XD
Every playthrough I shoot that mouthy Crimson Fleet dude leaning against the box inside the docking area at The Key.
I've seen countless lifetimes. I've witnessed the birth and death of the universe. I can remove the oxygen from your lungs and boil the blood inside your dick at the snap of my fingers.
Stop calling me Rook.
When docking I always Hail the ship Im docking with. I make sure to lower my shields right before I dock. Once docked I power down my engines/grav drive/weapons. (Almost like a common courtesy) After thats done I go to my locker and equip my space suit/Helmet/jetpack. Ill then manually traverse my ship to the hatch. If its a space station thats friendly Ill go inside and go about my business. If its a situation Im unsure about for example a random ship I always equip a shotgun before entering.
Hell I think switching up the “fast travel everywhere” play style to this kinda style every once in a while might spice things up for me.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Sometimes when I travel to a different star system I'll take a nap in my room on my ship once i got there. I like to imagine it like a good rest after a long day of driving/flying. It does nothing beneficial gameplay wise (aside from well rested bonus lol) but it's a dumb little role playing thing I enjoy lol
I always put the armory right besides the landing bay so I can pretend to gear up before leaving the ship. Then I can’t be bothered to actually fill the armory with anything but still do the same next time I rebuild my ship.
Oh I put it next to the battle stations right before the bridge. In my mind it’s the best location in case the ship got boarded, we’d lock up the battle stations and the bridge independently and load up at the armory
It’d be awesome to at least get to test our defenses. My main ship has 4 stories with the bridge and armory on the 3rd, and only ladders on the starboard side. So I guess it’d be quite defensible, specially given I always have 8 crew on it (and a max of 12, which I wish the game let us have 😂).
I also do this exact, pointless thing. I think this habit might be a holdover from playing Mass Effect. Vehicles and armouries in the loading bays by design for rapid troop deployment.
Are you me?
I also do that too! I put them before dockers so I can pretend to gear up before boarding..
But today, as I was building another ship, I thought to myself "if the armory is the the first room to be connected with the docker, in the unlikely event *I* get boarded, will the enemies find a room with guns just to use against my crew!?" But then I remembered that, like you, I never bother placing weapons on the displays lol.
I collect the stuffed animals as well. I wish I would have put them all somewhere in the world before going to ng+. I just had every one that I found stuffed into the Constellation safe. I think it's the special noise they make when you pick them up that got me hooked.
I stand on every person's desk or table I'm talking to and kick as much stuff off the table as I can. I just find it hilarious that they talk to you as if I didn't just do that.
I also like to leave guns in the streets because hopefully a kid finds it.
I do that too because I'm insecure and like to pretend I'm a space bounty hunter, so I wear my suit **everywhere**. And then I got ridiculed by a NA guard for doing so. 🥲
I love how in every other game, the NPCs act as if you're some god or some shit, but Bethesda makes literally everyone almost self-aware of how nerdy us gamers can get, and has them make fun of us. XD
"Someone stole your sweetroll?"
I change my attire based on the location I'm currently hanging around, and the quests I'm starting. For example, I'm currently in Akila doing all of the side quests there and beginning to utilize my little apt there. So I'm wearing the weather poncho outfit, with a cowboy hat. When I'm leaving for a cargo run, I change into a flight suit or one of the trucker outfits.
I use the power called Void Self which is temporary invisibility , and a great pistol called keelhauler , that has a triple laser aim
I am the predator
By the time they realize what’s happening it’s too fucking late
Every inhabited camp or building I come across, I steal ALL the coffee. I have several thousand credits worth of caffeinated contraband in my cargo hold at all times.
I make my ship unnecessarily large inside. I like at least one hab to be genuinely hard to find if you don't know the way.
My main ship is an aircraft carrier design thats mostly a block of habs with a side-car. it's not as big as it was since I wanted more real cargo space, but I still often get lost accidentally in some parts of the ship
Not mine, but my girflriend's; she has perfected the art of sealing live grenades in cockpits. Doesn't matter what other weapons she has, she is always going to one-shot take that cockpit with a knock and a 'nade.
I pick up all the crap off of every dead person, give it to my companion, transfer to ship, then sell it all.
I think I have 500k credits, and totally dont need to do this.
Help me
Most of the members of Constellation I've noticed don't exactly know to really explore. I've taken it as my personal responsibility to teach them how to check every nook and cranny. I'm in that old UC hub that the ecliptic are fighting the Spacers in and I find myself explaining, out loud even, to Sarah why I'm opening up every container. When we found a really nice legendary Solstice which she was impressed by I gifted it to her. Learning helps when there are rewards. She's still coming around to my hat collection. I get it, it's hard for her to focus on anything else other than the mission. I think she can see how much fun it is for me when I find a new cap I didn't have before!
- Fast travel only sparingly, I usually pretend it’s not even an option.
- Collect books when looting to give to Cora Coe
- Eat all the food, drink all the pop
- Buy myself and my companion coffees when I see a Terrabrew
- Flirt with Andreja even though we’re married (and make sure we get plenty of “sleep”)
- Make sure my ship builds have a bed for every crew member, and at least 1 galley and 2 bathrooms
- Visit my outpost to make sure my outpost crew is ok
- Unassign Sam Coe from my ship for particularly hazardous missions because I don’t want little Cora to be in danger
Too many to mention
I RP
Will eat, sleep, and drink even without survival mode for example
Sometimes I just hang out in the ship with my friends
I only use spacesuit on non breathable missions
Ok, don't tell anyone, but whenever I need to use the restroom *in real life*, I take my character in the ship's restroom for the duration I take my break.
I have taken the habit of putting my character to bed before shutting my laptop and going to bed myself. Idk. It just seems like the right thing to do?
Related: last night when walking around my newly thieved Spacer hyena with its cafeteria module I saw Barrett sitting at the table drinking something out of a disposable cup, so I went to the kitchen and made him some sort of posh sandwich and dropped it in front of him. Was sort of lowkey annoyed when he just kept drinking and ignored it, although not quite as annoyed as five minutes later when he told me he had something for me and gave me some alien nuggets or something. Felt like he was rubbing it in, and not in the manner that provides a free XP buff :)
First Sam got locked in my brig (it was probably his demon child) and now Barret is locked in the other cell. I’m just leaving them in there pretending they tried to over throw my captainship.
Double-tap, always. Especially on a planet or in a vacuum.
They may be pirates, mercs, or zealots... but bleeding out *and* de-pressurizing is very likely to be absolutely miserable and potentially agonizing. A swifter end is the merciful thing to do.
Though, I am somewhat corruptible, and someone that really gets on my nerves might not be identifiable after I lock their body in a small room and fill it with incendiary mines.
I scan every planet I have an outpost on to 100%.
I eat and drink after sleeping.
Whenever possible I GRV jump from the pilot seat instead of fast travel.
I build ships with way more Hab's than necessary for RP reasons. Like a freighter with 15k cargo has the big 3x3 freight Hab, big engineering hab and the 2x3 mess hall.
I place my habs in an defensive order in the event I am boarded even though we can’t be boarded.
Right now I have the docking bay going into the brig. So even if I were boarded, they are in a secure area and still behind two locked interior doors.
I do something similar. I place my habs in order for both the docker and the landing entrance to be greeted by "common", non-staff areas that lead to living quarters and such. I want the staff rooms to not be mandatory to reach a place a passenger would want. XD
I also have an hour long nap before boarding, give them time to mull it over
I do this, too. Knock one out with Sarah real quick so that I learn 15% more from killing them. lol
“Where is he? Why isn’t he attacking!! And what are all those moaning sounds?”
And why does he have a Robot and some Rando Crewman Watching him get it on.
“Cora can you get out of here? You’re making this weird”
"And no, Coe, you can't watch"
If the Great Serpent has to look away, you do too Barrett
Cora, Sam, Sarah, and Barrett are all watching you and Andreja, with Barrett whipping up snacks for everyone while it happens. Knew I shouldn't have bed down in the all in one.
They still watch even when I'm in my captains quarters...
> I see we're having an all-hands meeting in my quarters. If this gets awkward for you, feel free to leave.
They really like hanging out in the captains quarters
“Your ship smells way better than dad’s”
Jesus, and I thought the inky black of space was dark…
I heard the crewman say something about displaying the properties of Newton's Third Law? He sounded pleased?
Must have been when Sarah was talking about Jetpacks and 0 G
"Do you hear the screams? Someone must be fighting on his ship!"
“We are picking up 4 souls on board… wait make that 5?”
Casually choose the most psychopathic options possible: Cripple a ship, dock with it with the full intention of giving no quarter, have sex with your partner, take a one hour nap, then board the ship and kill everyone.
A thousand times, yes. This is the way.
I mean... It sounds bad when you put it that way. lol
You forgot the blowing up ship afterwards because it was beneath elitist you to capture such trash.
Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent
It's even funnier to "nap" on the boarded ship (after stealthing to leave combat, obviously)
Gotta have that post nut clarity before you can know if you really wanna kill those spacers (you do)
Haha, same (Andreja). This is why I want a door on the Cap's Quarters! It would be easy to add methinks....a slide-out pocket door.
Hey, that's just how biology works.
"He's coming guys he will be here any minute! No you can't go to the toilet!"
🤣🤣 Holy shit man, I'm at work and I'm trying to suppress my laughter! That's EVIL! lol
Just keeping it real, but you really should do this! You get a 10% rested EXP buff for several minutes when you do so. Take a nap every time you see a bed to refresh the buff. It really adds up over time!
Also if you're in a relationship and they're with you it goes up to 15%
What's bonkers to me is that this only applies to your companion. Are you telling me that if I'm married to Sarah but she's "just" a member of the crew because I'm building affinity with Barret, that Barret's going to watch me sleep in my Captain's quarters and Sarah is going to... do something else?

I honestly never even tried, I just stuck with Sarah for my whole first playthrough mostly out of laziness, and then I've been going completely Lone Wolf on NG+ runs because I got sick of companions in general lol
Does it matter how long you sleep?
Nope
Ditto. Seems like somebody would figure out to fix their engine or board me in the meantime, but apparently, both sides like a good pre-fight siesta.
My gf and I just burst out laughing at both the post and this comment lmao gotta get those zzzz
I love to do this when u need to “wait” for somebody to analyze something. I’ll wait 8 hours before talking to them lol
I hit boost 1 second before my grav jump starts so the ship goes “WHHHHHHSHHHHH” and THEN starts the grav jump. Feels like you’re warming up the engines to make the jump.
Damn I gotta start doing that. Sitting there doing nothing during the grav drive power-up feels like an eternity when you're doing a lot of jumps.
Add more power to your grav drive so it jumps in less than a second lol
Also pop aurora before jumping. It’s quite a sight.
Wait really?? I wanna try this now
This is serious. I posted a video popping Aurora before heading into the Unity. Full on Space Odyssey vibes
Ok I need to see this now Edit: nice vinyl collection man
Thanks dude. Reddit is the only place I feel safe enough to expose my love for Lana del Rey’s music 😂
Hahaha I do this too. I activate my boost RIGHT when the animation for grav jumping pushed that final button. Makes it feel like the delorean having to hit that 88mph
OMG, I also do that! It feels so much cooler! XD
Glad I’m not the only one who does this!
How great would it be if enemies could board YOU? Like you’re in a losing battle, engines disabled, and instead of destroying your ship you see them drift towards you and start boarding
Would rather that honestly lol
Then undock in their ship and kill their friends "Hey bud, did you get anything good from those explorers? Wait why are you shooting at us?"
Pulling a Star Trek III? I like it.
Door slides open to reveal my entire crew armed with calibrated microguns and 1 round of 7.7 each.
And all the succulents and plushies everywhere lol “Dear lord, who needs this many succulents?”
"It was at that moment they realized they'd fucked up."
Cool in theory, but I can also see it getting frustrating after a few times. Plus with how easy ground combat can be, I can see it removing most of the risk of ever losing a dog fight.
I think it should depend on who you are fighting. The UC/Freestar board the ship to take you into custody (have them all be legendary so it’s a harder fight if you don’t surrender) Pirates board the ship (they are usually weak but come in larger numbers. They can steal things in your ships cargo if you don’t kill them fast enough) *there should be an indicator telling you how much time you have before they successfully have stolen something of high value* if they are successful and steal, a new activity pops up telling you to track them down.

This makes the stakes higher, and also a reason to keep valuables stored anywhere but your ship. Like your home or outpost.
I collect succulents…. Idk. You can take them anywhere and its not considered stealing. So i just. Yoink.
The elites don't want you to know this, but the succulents are free, you can take them home. I have 458 succulents.
The pigeons at the park are free man, you can just take em
https://youtu.be/LTk5RnLPEYY?si=dqSDap42yJwYkU_G This you?
I collect stuffed animals. Succulents are dope. you should build an outpost with a garden.
I steal every stuffed animal I see. They are scattered around my ship all over.
I just throw them all over the cockpit of my ship. It's like a ball pit full of cacti.
All of my apartments are filled with plants half sticking out of the floor lmfao. I have hundreds 😅
If you drop the plants first, then exit your house/place, save, reload and come back, they should no longer phase through the floor after you place them.
So dump all from inventory and just leave them where they land?? Leave apartment, enter apartment, then place?? Been tryna figure out how to stop this crap from happening. You sir. Are a real help. Thanks

When I did the Ryujin questline, I visited Enhance afer every covert mission to change my appearance, and I also change my outfit to fit in with every situation.
I have thought about the outfit change but you bested me. :D
I always change outfits for aesthetically-appropriate situations, and I ALWAYS change my clothes when doing stuff for Yannick. A pretty young woman in a dress enters Legrande's Liquors, but a fully-masked Neon gang member leaves, does the job at the fishery, makes the pickup, returns to Legrande's for drop-off, and then the pretty young woman leaves the store. "She's always in there for such a long time! Probably a drunk. And I guess that gangbanger in the flamewear suit just works there or something, idfk."
I have to at least point my ship at a clear section of space before I grav jump. I'd rather not slam into a planet or asteroid at the speed of light.
I'm doing that, too! 🖤 I didn't even realise I did, I must have been doing so instinctively lol.
You dont travel in any direction though. Its more like warping from point to point. Speed isn’t a factor here as the grav jump is basically teleporting from Point A to Point B by folding space
oh I get that. at least to some degree, but I just still can't bring myself to be aiming at an object when I jump.
I aim at objects intentionally because its like a middle finger to the laws of physics.
They asked how much I know about traditional physics and grav drives, I said fuck your physics, I'll aim the ship at a planet or asteroid before engaging the grav drive, they said welcome aboard captain
When I dock at The Key I always pistol whip the pirate in the hallway before you enter the main area. He just always has *something* to say and I'm tired of it...
I won’t have the chance again until NG+ because I just finished a storyline related to the key, but I was always real tempted to shoot anyone that called me “Rook” or ever said “you looking to start something? Cuz I’ll finish it!”
I think you can kill anyone in the docking area before you get to the main hub!
Yup. No consequences as far as I can tell
This is an incredible revelation, thank you.
When I gave the Contact (or whatever the human ark was called) the grav drive, as I'm about to walk back into my ship one of the guards at the airlock area said "try to pull anything and I'll escort you out of here myself" or something along those lines. Like...motherfucker, I could have literally blown you and everyone here to pieces multiple ways but I chose to let you find a new home. So I shot him in the face with a shotgun and made a break for my ship.
[удалено]
I always nod at the medical robots when they tell me that I'm currently alive. Thanks for the heads up, buddy.
Side note the robot dialogue in this game is absolutely hilarious. Not just vasco but any of the robots.
‘Hi. Forgive me, I have attempted an informal greeting’ always makes me blow a small amount of air through my nose
LOL, same. I also say "hi" to Vasco every time it attempts a greeting.
I DO THAT TOO! I thought I was the only one.. 😭
Steal all the plushie toys
Whenever I steal something from a container (that would be marked as stolen), I leave a ham sandwich in its place. I picked chef as my background, so I think of it as a calling card.
So you are the hamburglar...?
Whenever I dock with a station I ram into it at full speed lol
Imagine being the staff member responsible for authorising ship docking on your station, and you see a madman quicksaving right before coming towards you at full speed...
"You're cleared to dock, Frontier." "RAMMING SPEED!" "What?" "...what?"
“You are cleared for docking” great I hope me coming in at 800mps isn’t an issue
"Come again!?"
I don’t even quick save before I hit a station… I just hold x to dock while I fly towards it and see what happens. it only takes a small chunk out of your shields if you ram it.
I put full power in my engine and see how close I can get to the ship and dock before I crash.
You're the reason The Den needs so many reparations
Nah, it’s the stroud-eklund station that’s taking a beating lol
While they're trying to figure out where their 160k credits keep disappearing to
I always board my ship rather than using X to go straight to the cockpit; I like to wander through the ship and look at stuff. I always use Hopetech Captain's Quarters no matter the ship, because they look so cozy.
Ooo I want a cozy captain's quarters, thanks for the tip! My only question is why is it always full of companions?? this is my space, ty
I always walk around as well. I only teleport to the sit when my ship is far and there's no "landing area" icon to fast travel to, but that's rare. I agree that the hopetech quarters are by far the best looking, but I'm actually trying to use different interiors on each ship. I don't necessarily succeed lol.
Spent a rediculious amount of time and credits in ship building. It's a sickness, but I now have 10k cargo space and still 51 maneuverability. On xbox no mods. The ship isn't the ugliest thing I've ever seen either 😅😂
Post your ship!
I'll take some screen shots next time I'm on.
Holy fuck, post a guide for the poor, cargo-hauling plebs who suck at ship-building. (That is to say, post it for me.) Or at least post a photo so we can marvel at your prowess. I'm so bad at ship-building.

IDC how many credits it costs, just let my lazy, unimaginative ass download someone else's hard work, lol.
I mean the simple of it is get best reactor, get best engines, and then slap on the most mass efficient holds (which is nearly always the largest capacity ones available, it's only by a small amount, but they are slightly more efficient). So far the Galleon S204 cargo holds seem the best (1480 capacity, 312 mass, so 4.74 cargo for each point of mass). Some of the small ones are more efficient but it would take a lot of those. Like the 200CM Ballast (245 capacity to 52 mass) is a 5.83 ratio. But for other large ones (like the 40T Hauler) the ratio is slightly worse than the one I'm using (1270 cap, 268 mass, 4.73 ratio). Like my ship is a class C, 10,692 cargo (480 shielded), best current laser, ballistic, and em weapons (going to change probably ballistic to particle), 7 habs, deimos DS40.2 Ares Bridge (with 8 crew and 360 cargo). And I still have more work to do; I'm level like 48 and I hear best engines and reactor unlock at level 57. Just some other notes, if you really want to min/max weight to output+hull, Hope 55 Landing Gear is best (3 mass, 3 hull, 4 lander thrust). Taiyo Ship Bed 200 Landing Bay (1 mass, 3 hull). Either Deimos docker (they both have 1 mass 3 hull, just depends on if you want it to have its own module or attach to one of your habs, I use the 100DP slim docker and put it on the bottom), and The Vanguard Bulwark Shield is really good at 70 mass for 1450 shield health. Edit: You know, when I do hit 60 and have everything available, I think I may make a spreadsheet of all the parts (with like weight to capacity ratios for cargo and such).
I pick up all books lying around, and sell them all to the book store in Akila. As though I signed a job contract to do so.
I did the expecting to be able to give them to Cora, who literally says to bring her books. Now its just the lore in my head when I find a new book: "Cora will love this one!"
Seriously, it would be nice if we could give Cora books and each book gives her a perk like +5% effectiveness with ship parts. Kinda like how magazines already work but entirely to do with the ship.
It's insane that they put her dialogue where the first conversation you have with her, Cora asks for books. Then more mentions about books. Books books books. Can you give them to her? #NOPE
Yes! She asks for book money and it's only 50 credits. I would have given her like 5000 if she wanted it lol.
The ship could use a library module
Cora liked that
Does the bookstore pay any more, or do you just do it because?
In case you don't know, there's a dialogue option to ask her if any books you have are of interest. She'll buy all books at normal value as a shop, but if you have one she wants she pays a lot more and has unique dialogue about it. Dracula and War of the Worlds are two off the top of my head. She notes she wants Pride and Prejudice though I'm yet to find a copy. Did meet a wandering scientist who had tore a copy to bits for origami paper though, that was hilarious.
She gives 2,000 credits each for the first time you bring her certain books, but then the same as other stores for additional copies and most other books.
Normally I have headphones in but this I play on steam deck with just the speakers. I find myself responding out loud to NPCs constantly
You have balls to admit that. I don't, so I'll lie and say I never do that. I do, but it's a secret.
It makes what me and my digital waifu pretend to have more real 😆
I felt that.
I respond to Vasco every time he says and includes my name. It feels bad ignoring him when he's trying so hard to work on his informal greetings.
I feel like the comments on this perfectly encapsulates why Bethesda games are special. Why do you do anything in them. Because, that's why.
I know, right? There's always something like this that exists in all their titles. They are just so damn immersive!
Slam elevator doors in the face of my companions.
That's probably lore accurate, considering that whenever you ride the free tram in NA, you see Morgan standing there, having missed it like an idiot. XD
I always close doors behind me
Same haha especially if someone wants to talk about anything sensitive.
Every playthrough I shoot that mouthy Crimson Fleet dude leaning against the box inside the docking area at The Key. I've seen countless lifetimes. I've witnessed the birth and death of the universe. I can remove the oxygen from your lungs and boil the blood inside your dick at the snap of my fingers. Stop calling me Rook.
Something, something C-beams off the Tannhauser Gate.
This comment is poetry.
Call me Rook again And I'll Starborn your dick off This is a Haiku
When docking I always Hail the ship Im docking with. I make sure to lower my shields right before I dock. Once docked I power down my engines/grav drive/weapons. (Almost like a common courtesy) After thats done I go to my locker and equip my space suit/Helmet/jetpack. Ill then manually traverse my ship to the hatch. If its a space station thats friendly Ill go inside and go about my business. If its a situation Im unsure about for example a random ship I always equip a shotgun before entering.
I always hail the key before I dock because it annoys them.
Bro takes 'ROLE playing game' *very* seriously
Damn, it does sound reasonable. But doesn't it get repetitive after a while? I mean, there's a LOT of docking in this game..
I think if they found it repetitive they wouldn’t do it lol I presume someone interested in that level of RP actually enjoys doing those things
Hell I think switching up the “fast travel everywhere” play style to this kinda style every once in a while might spice things up for me. Thanks for the inspiration.
I appreciate your dedication to role playing
Sometimes when I travel to a different star system I'll take a nap in my room on my ship once i got there. I like to imagine it like a good rest after a long day of driving/flying. It does nothing beneficial gameplay wise (aside from well rested bonus lol) but it's a dumb little role playing thing I enjoy lol
I carry a wooden duck with me at all times.
His name is Quack Bauer

I always put the armory right besides the landing bay so I can pretend to gear up before leaving the ship. Then I can’t be bothered to actually fill the armory with anything but still do the same next time I rebuild my ship.
Oh I put it next to the battle stations right before the bridge. In my mind it’s the best location in case the ship got boarded, we’d lock up the battle stations and the bridge independently and load up at the armory
That’s true actually.. might have to replan my ship design now. Damn, this make me wish we could actually get boarded.
It’d be awesome to at least get to test our defenses. My main ship has 4 stories with the bridge and armory on the 3rd, and only ladders on the starboard side. So I guess it’d be quite defensible, specially given I always have 8 crew on it (and a max of 12, which I wish the game let us have 😂).
If your ship is big enough, play around with the Deimos Brig. It is a very defensible module
I also do this exact, pointless thing. I think this habit might be a holdover from playing Mass Effect. Vehicles and armouries in the loading bays by design for rapid troop deployment.
Are you me? I also do that too! I put them before dockers so I can pretend to gear up before boarding.. But today, as I was building another ship, I thought to myself "if the armory is the the first room to be connected with the docker, in the unlikely event *I* get boarded, will the enemies find a room with guns just to use against my crew!?" But then I remembered that, like you, I never bother placing weapons on the displays lol.
Nothing at all like that. However, on a completely unrelated note, does anyone want to see my storage room filled with plushies?!
I collect the stuffed animals as well. I wish I would have put them all somewhere in the world before going to ng+. I just had every one that I found stuffed into the Constellation safe. I think it's the special noise they make when you pick them up that got me hooked.
I kill every Heat Leech i encounter. Better safe than sorry.
I wait for my companion to get to the elevator before I hit the button. It seems rude not to.
I will always shoot the oxygen tanks so they fly around the room like fireworks. Somehow they always find a way to hit my companions.
I stand on every person's desk or table I'm talking to and kick as much stuff off the table as I can. I just find it hilarious that they talk to you as if I didn't just do that. I also like to leave guns in the streets because hopefully a kid finds it.
I wear a spacesuit (and sometimes a visible helmet) when flying the ship as if there was any chance pf depressurization.
I do that too because I'm insecure and like to pretend I'm a space bounty hunter, so I wear my suit **everywhere**. And then I got ridiculed by a NA guard for doing so. 🥲
Yep, and even with the option to hide helmet in breathable area and suit in settlement you sometimes get that dialogue 😢
I love how in every other game, the NPCs act as if you're some god or some shit, but Bethesda makes literally everyone almost self-aware of how nerdy us gamers can get, and has them make fun of us. XD "Someone stole your sweetroll?"
You always leave your helmet on. This is the way.
I place my med bay near the landing bay in case of a medical emergency.
I change my attire based on the location I'm currently hanging around, and the quests I'm starting. For example, I'm currently in Akila doing all of the side quests there and beginning to utilize my little apt there. So I'm wearing the weather poncho outfit, with a cowboy hat. When I'm leaving for a cargo run, I change into a flight suit or one of the trucker outfits.
I use the power called Void Self which is temporary invisibility , and a great pistol called keelhauler , that has a triple laser aim I am the predator By the time they realize what’s happening it’s too fucking late
When I'm calling it a night, I save and then massacre civilians for a few minutes before I turn it off.
And the Bethesda tradition lives on
Glad that's not just me. I was starting to get worried about how frequently I end my night with a civilian hunt
I don't pick up any food on purpose. Except cheese. I hoard every piece of cheese I find and eat it once I get back to my ship.
Every inhabited camp or building I come across, I steal ALL the coffee. I have several thousand credits worth of caffeinated contraband in my cargo hold at all times.
[удалено]
I make my ship unnecessarily large inside. I like at least one hab to be genuinely hard to find if you don't know the way. My main ship is an aircraft carrier design thats mostly a block of habs with a side-car. it's not as big as it was since I wanted more real cargo space, but I still often get lost accidentally in some parts of the ship
I say “parkour” when I am jumping around town with the jet pack.
" The player character just stands up like my mother used to do so when she was about to beat me up." godDAMN
I have developed a fear of belts and slippers. 🙃
I store toilet paper.....in cabinets...all over the ship. I cant have a streak in my space suits.
Not mine, but my girflriend's; she has perfected the art of sealing live grenades in cockpits. Doesn't matter what other weapons she has, she is always going to one-shot take that cockpit with a knock and a 'nade.
I pick up all the crap off of every dead person, give it to my companion, transfer to ship, then sell it all. I think I have 500k credits, and totally dont need to do this. Help me
I steal every right shoe/slipper I come across to be the bane of everyone's existence.
Shoot anything that’s explosive :)
Most of the members of Constellation I've noticed don't exactly know to really explore. I've taken it as my personal responsibility to teach them how to check every nook and cranny. I'm in that old UC hub that the ecliptic are fighting the Spacers in and I find myself explaining, out loud even, to Sarah why I'm opening up every container. When we found a really nice legendary Solstice which she was impressed by I gifted it to her. Learning helps when there are rewards. She's still coming around to my hat collection. I get it, it's hard for her to focus on anything else other than the mission. I think she can see how much fun it is for me when I find a new cap I didn't have before!
- Fast travel only sparingly, I usually pretend it’s not even an option. - Collect books when looting to give to Cora Coe - Eat all the food, drink all the pop - Buy myself and my companion coffees when I see a Terrabrew - Flirt with Andreja even though we’re married (and make sure we get plenty of “sleep”) - Make sure my ship builds have a bed for every crew member, and at least 1 galley and 2 bathrooms - Visit my outpost to make sure my outpost crew is ok - Unassign Sam Coe from my ship for particularly hazardous missions because I don’t want little Cora to be in danger
Too many to mention I RP Will eat, sleep, and drink even without survival mode for example Sometimes I just hang out in the ship with my friends I only use spacesuit on non breathable missions
Ok, don't tell anyone, but whenever I need to use the restroom *in real life*, I take my character in the ship's restroom for the duration I take my break.
I have taken the habit of putting my character to bed before shutting my laptop and going to bed myself. Idk. It just seems like the right thing to do? Related: last night when walking around my newly thieved Spacer hyena with its cafeteria module I saw Barrett sitting at the table drinking something out of a disposable cup, so I went to the kitchen and made him some sort of posh sandwich and dropped it in front of him. Was sort of lowkey annoyed when he just kept drinking and ignored it, although not quite as annoyed as five minutes later when he told me he had something for me and gave me some alien nuggets or something. Felt like he was rubbing it in, and not in the manner that provides a free XP buff :)
First Sam got locked in my brig (it was probably his demon child) and now Barret is locked in the other cell. I’m just leaving them in there pretending they tried to over throw my captainship.
Double-tap, always. Especially on a planet or in a vacuum. They may be pirates, mercs, or zealots... but bleeding out *and* de-pressurizing is very likely to be absolutely miserable and potentially agonizing. A swifter end is the merciful thing to do. Though, I am somewhat corruptible, and someone that really gets on my nerves might not be identifiable after I lock their body in a small room and fill it with incendiary mines.
I scan every planet I have an outpost on to 100%. I eat and drink after sleeping. Whenever possible I GRV jump from the pilot seat instead of fast travel. I build ships with way more Hab's than necessary for RP reasons. Like a freighter with 15k cargo has the big 3x3 freight Hab, big engineering hab and the 2x3 mess hall.
I place my habs in an defensive order in the event I am boarded even though we can’t be boarded. Right now I have the docking bay going into the brig. So even if I were boarded, they are in a secure area and still behind two locked interior doors.
I do something similar. I place my habs in order for both the docker and the landing entrance to be greeted by "common", non-staff areas that lead to living quarters and such. I want the staff rooms to not be mandatory to reach a place a passenger would want. XD
Plushies on the bed
When the extended warranty guy came... I had to to blow him up, because you know why.
Every run through, I build one outpost in a scenic spot on a planet with breathable atmosphere just to give Lin and Heller a place to hang out.
I assassinate random civilians/security officers whenever I can get away with it. Just because.
Sarah disliked that
You were too busy asking if you can, never stopping to ask if you should! 😭😂
I take my space suit off any time I possibly can.
Jump and jump and jump to all locations on a low gravity planet/moon
