So something I missed the first time around "Go to the Vultures Roost" that was a decent dust up, cool base too.
Funnily enough I landed there last night as I was ticking off a few activities I collected and doing some general roaming about. First thought on walking to the edge of the landing pad "bloody hell, who wound you lot up?"

Must have been the listening to metal music in the Pool room!

I'm with you. I have given up the game while playing the ruijin storyline. I just found I was bored of the whole thing. I play a game to avoid office politics!
The Ryujin one isn't a high point. Vanguard was much better.
I don't think I've played in the last 2 or 3 weeks - mainly due to life - but it's not that engaging generally - more specifically due to the Ryujin storyline.

I went on a Ryujin gun rampage the other day, shot the place up and everyone in there, unfortunately there are about 5 or 6 essentials who don't die, but that means after 5 minutes they are back on their feet to shoot again.

And they say violent video games breed serial gun killers in real life.

I was about to do the Kryx's legacy story line again as I enjoyed that one, except I have been clearing out too many Crimson Fleet in random outposts that my bounty is now worth more than the loot of the story line.

Flew to the Key, left none alive, inside or out, oh and Andreja is back.

Spent a couple of hours bringing my go to ship up to date (formerly Shield Breaker)

Pretty pleased how it turned out. I have as much cargo as I can without further improvements to Grav drives which are locked for me at level 2.

Haven’t found anything for sale that touches this ship to be honest. Will be unlocking the next levels of design next.

Over 17,000 cargo? Jinkies! Very nice.

I have a stupid question; how do you take screenshots of the ship builder?

This is my NG+ ship - StarStoat. Sadly the mobility dropped to 99, but it'll take about 3500 cargo which is enough for most of my needs. Next build will either be a cargo dragster (single Class A engine to get maximum top speed, zero mobility) or something with six of the fancy class C engines, and whatever I can move with that.

I am a resource hoarder it seems ! I also temporarily hold tons of adaptive frames from doing the old XP farming at my outpost.

I’m in Xbox I just hit the share button on controller and it can be downloaded from the Xbox app.

Your ship looks like a blue lobster

Nvidia GeForce Lft ALT + F1 (saves bizarrely to My Documents/Videos/Desktop)
Windows PrntScrn button choose from full screen or crop from the bit that appears at the top (Windows 11 22H2) or just PrntScrn button for older Windows and then for all in your favourite or not so favourite paint app select paste, and save.

Them SAL-6330's are what you need, 6 of them! Gets expensive though.

Engines can be very sneaky, suddenly new versions with more power can be unlocked at different levels.

My ship used to be powered with all these.




But now it's bigger and heavier but with upgraded engines it flies with less. Giving me dedicated extra space at the rear for reactor/grav drive and cargo while freeing up more space inside.

Ah - the only mod I've applied is the one that makes all the parts you've unlocked available at New Atlantis.

No mod for the engines, once you hit higher levels in the game better engines become available in shipyards, up to level 60 - https://inara.cz/starfield/ship-modules-list/181/

Oh I thought you meant increasing individual engine power. I do have no number of engines limit, alongside no ship size limit and no minimum landing gear limit, although I have a lot on that.

Ps. 14 smile

I should be clear that I am not judging or criticising. Bethesda games are to be played however you enjoy them. beer

I like playing inside the rules. The all-parts-at-new-atlantis thing just saves a lot of silly flying around.
