- Greetings, captains! THANK YOU ALL for enabling my channel to grow to over 5,000 subscribers! To commemorate this milestone, show my appreciation for all of you, and reward myself (because I missed this ship!), I have rebuilt the original Basilisk from the ground up. Using all of the techniques and lessons that I have learned from my builds and all of my incredible viewers, I have completely overhauled and improved upon the first iteration of this ship. This was easily my most popular Starfield ship build, and since you all loved the first one, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to showcase just how differently the same ship can be assembled after gaining some experience in the ship builder.
The original Basilisk build:

What a fantastic build - thanks for this! If you ever feel like it’s worth it, I’m so there for a Basilisk III. Notifications on!
@ZeddyLives after the Omen is published, I will be using mods. There is a LOT on the horizon.
Not Wizard taking us out of our 2023 Basilisk and putting us in the 2024 model! Well done 👍
Gotta keep you boys fresh out there!
Any ship design video that has Vanguard Hellfires on it is one worth watching.
Agreed! I have come to absolutely love those guns.
Thanks for watching!
Going all particle beams became too easy, even on very hard. Ship combat became WAY more enjoyable once I started using the Hellfire Autocannons
@High_Key I agree, especially based on the specific ship you’re flying. Something heavier that takes time to change direction needs to have that reach to try to play sniper, but for something light and quick the Hellfires add a level of challenge and tactics that you don’t have with the brainlessness of all PB’s.
I especially like how they kind of look like hotdogs from the front
New Captain here..been soaring the stars for only 3 weeks, now.
Been learning lots from YT Captains....
Looking forward to viewing your previous builds, and adventures among the stars, Captain.
Great to have you, thanks for watching! If you have any questions about anything, let me know!
@@WizeOldWizard I have a list of questions...
But I will ask them, as I watch your videos...(previous and future ) . Cheers
Absolutely love this ship. I have tinkered with many, but I keep coming back to this one. With mods, it is amazing.
Oh man I can’t wait to freely install whatever mods that I want. Come on CK! Can’t leave out my console audience.
You mad lad, you actually did it! - I love that you totally rejigged the interior. It's a very worthy upgrade.
What you said about the engine layout is what attracted me to the Basilisk in the first place. It was, and remains a very beautiful design.
Congrats on 5K!
I had to! I’ve wanted to build the ship again so bad since starting this playthrough, but I made myself wait for the right opportunity. 5k seemed like a perfect reason. Appreciate you!
i'm proudly honored to be the owner of the Basilisk II from the Wizard Engineering Factory. This spaceship is the perfect product, you can find prettier in the market of course, but nothing is more functional than this one.
The propulsion and engine part, superbly highlighted by the porthole, admirably serves the technical space which itself provides the two wings with the necessary energy (light, hot water, etc.) and perfectly supplies the front of the ship which is the combat, computer and tactical zone, piloting, as well as my personal space.
I made a special request to the consumer service to personalize it a little more according to my needs. For example, at entry, I exchanged the workshop for brigs, because my new duties as a bounty hunter require me to transport dangerous people. Directly following, I asked to add the medical service. Indeed my team does not need armory, they do nothing else all day than check the shelves, sleep, eat and say hello, they do not need to fight, it is me who fights, and sometimes hard, that's why i found it more appropriate to have the infirmary directly on the ground floor! Because sometimes when returning from a mission I need urgent care and with a broken leg it is painful to have to climb the ladders and cross the entire ship to be healed. The medical part present in the basic model has therefore been replaced by a berth part, which balances my two wings. I also put my captain's space directly next to the cockpit, I am the one who pilots and sometimes I need a quick rest before taking the controls again. I have my workshop next to my personal space because sometimes at night I have creative ideas and I build things, and then I store it in my armory just above.
This spaceship is the perfect balance between beauty, modernism and efficiency, I recommend it. 😘
That’s an excellent endorsement, thank you sir!
You deserve all the subs. Your builds are absolutely outstanding. I look forward to seeing your videos and building your creations. Thank you for your contribution.
Thank you very much for the kind words! I’m going to continue with Becoming a God, and I still need to complete the automated Vytinium Fuel Rod operation. I also have two empty slots in my fleet that I need to fill before I can even think about NG+. Plenty to come!
Thanks for posting this ship build…I absolutely love this ship…especially the core window.
I found the core window idea when I built the Citadel. I wasn’t the first to find that idea I’m sure, but that’s where I discovered it anyway. It’s such a cool feature, and I made it a requirement to implement it when I set out to overhaul the Basilisk.
Thanks for watching!
I’ve built the Scythe and the Aetos II and you are by far one of the best content creators for Starfield and ship builds. Super easy to follow guides with a bit of humour in there as well. Keep up the great work Sir. Big fan from England 👍🏻
Very kind words, thank you sir!
I have a feeling you will like the upcoming Omen if you’ve chosen those two from the archive already. It has been my preferred ship since I built it, as well as being the 10th ship in my original universe.
Thanks for watching!
Wow… best ship build vids on CZcams! Wizard is wise! The Basilisk is still my favorite. Followed by the citadel then Helion. Thanks Wizard! Congrats on 5k!
Thank you very much! A huge milestone made possible by you and everyone else that has supported me.
Cheers! And thanks for watching again.
I love the layout on this version. I am building this tomorrow to fill ship slot 10. That means you are responsible for 6 of those. Keep up the great work you do as I always light up when I get a notification that your channel has an update. Love your content.
Damn! Batting .667 would get me into the major leagues hahaha.
Thank you for your continued support!
Congrats on 5k! That's awesome and well deserved. I stumbled on your channel only recently, but you've quickly become one of my favorite Starfield channels. 👍👍
Very much appreciate that man and thank you for helping me get to 5k!
Hello, nice to meet you. I enjoyed your build. I'm going to add it to my fleet. Thank you.
Enjoy!
A massive improvement, it keeps its awesome look, but the insides are divine. I'm going to make this as my main ship from now on. it looks so good, thank you for sharing this build.
You are most welcome! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment.
The Vulcan is coming soon, and I bet you’ll dig it too…
I love this ship I build this on every play through it just flows so nice. Every other ship I get lost in with to many ladders that lead no where. Thank you
Glad you dig it! What do you think of Basilisk II compared to the original?
Also, just out of curiosity, what other ships do you really enjoy?
Thanks for this build video.
Following along in the ship build was a little tedious as you chat about other stuff while building and placing pieces but i managed to pause the video to see exactly what items you were picking and from what tabs so that i was still able to get the same setup.
I chose to take off the 175 auto turrets in favor of nullifiers which i enjoy using so i can raid the loot off higher level ship crews.
I love how easy the ship is to navigate and having so much space it has which cuts down on getting trapped in hallways or door ways with other crew.
Overall this is a fantastic ship which i throughly enjoy using.
I’ll keep this feedback in mind for the next one. In my mind, I’m thinking I’m boring everyone to death by just repeating the same things you can read on screen. But, this is good input that tells me I haven’t found the right balance yet.
Glad you like the ship! One thing I’d like to make you aware of (if you weren’t already) is that the PBO-175’s are the last weapons you’d want to replace. They have the highest DPS for any particle beam, with the Vanguard Obliterators coming in a close second. If anything, I’d replace the Exterminators. I actually have turned to using Vanguard Hellfire cannons in place of the Exterminators, and it’s made combat SO much fun.
Thanks for watching!
I love this ship! I have been building ships since early access and never built one I saw on CZcams before this one. I armed and customized mine a little different, but mostly the same. This one caught my eye and its amazing in combat! Most of my builds were original or upgrades to existing models (Revelation, Claymore, etc.). Now i need more ship slots as 10 just isn't enough!
THANKS!
P.S. I named mine Basilisk X
That’s great to hear man! Glad that I could inspire a fellow builder and I’m even more stoked that you enjoy the ship so much.
Thanks for watching!
I need more ship slots too, thankfully I’m on PC and can download that mod when it feels like the right time. Right now, I’m going to use my full fleet as one reason to enter the Unity.
I built the original Basilisk using the Mantis ship, and I’ll use it again for this new version in my new play through. Bro thanks for showing the overall cost at the beginning 👍
Hopefully this one is much easier to follow, as I’ve learned a lot since the original build.
Thanks for watching!
Heh - I just finished modifying my Razorleaf to the Basilisk I today. I have something new to shoot for! Another excellent build, Wize Old Wizard!!!
Thank you sir!
Wow. That ship looks awesome. I love the tiered look of it from the side.
Much appreciated good sir, thanks for watching!
love this ship built it more than once. Great new touches to the redesign i did some to mine nothing like this, thanks for your content!!
It’s still one of my favorites as well. Never had much time with it the first playthrough, so it was as much a reward for myself as it was a celebration for my viewers.
Thanks for watching!
i just finish the ship building on my game, the basilisk is truly amazing ! Thank you !!!
My pleasure! Keep an eye out for the upcoming Omen, and thanks for watching!
One of the best looking symetrical ships , with a great name.
Very kind words, thanks for watching!
thanks for the build, i learned a great deal on ship building and design from this it was awesome, also love this ship, been enjoying it.
You’re welcome! It is massively gratifying for me to help and inspire.
I hope you’ll be sticking around for more, I’ve got two upcoming builds that I think everyone will love. I teased them on my instagram, if you want to get a peek…
Oh.. my.. god..
That is quite the ship! Congrats on 5k subscribers wizard, you deserve it!!❤🎉🎉
Thanks a bunch man, I never anticipated this to grow as quickly as you guys have allowed it to. I feel like I’m lagging behind on the channel’s look and features! So many creators out there have put so much work into their channels and it really shows.
Just finished building a version of the Basilisk II, some differences with structural bits and a couple extry flip/duplication glitches on it. GREAT build design and wonderful build video. Well done Wizard! 👍🏼
Really appreciate that feedback, thank you for watching!
Just finished the build; awesome. Between my Aegis, Scythe, Citadel, and now Basilisk II (with a couple of other builds) my fleet is complete!
Fuckin awesome man, I have my ninth ship built and just need to film it now, then I have one more open slot to fill once I get these three videos edited.
Hopefully this upcoming ship will compel you to move to NG+ to keep building!
@@WizeOldWizard My plan is to start another character and take that one into the Unity. Refuse to give up these glorious builds!
@pdexBigTeacher not a bad idea! I’m already on my second character and I don’t want to go back and work through everything again. I’ll just make a save in my original universe if I ever need to go back.
Great build and video!
For those complaining about ladders, you can glitch portholes over the attachment points that you want to prevent a ladder from spawning.
Much appreciated!
I have a hunch that those having issues with ladders are skipping key points/steps. These guides are never based on my first iteration of a ship, meaning I do what I can to make sure I can replicate the interior layout reliably.
Going to come back to Starfield to build and fly this. Thanks!
Awesome! I’ve got two new ones coming up as well as those I’ve already posted. Have a look at the Archive, there may be something else that catches your eye!
The "Slab", love it! Building this today!
Hahah yes, the shameless brick! At least it’s a brick for a very good reason, it has a cargo capacity of 129,120!
my favorite build, i do this one (with a few tweaks of my own) at EVERY playthrough! my son even made me build him one!
That’s awesome man, Happy Father’s Day!
Again an awesome build! I really like the changes you made. Well done sir!
Thank you kindly! Appreciate your continued support!
First time on your channel. Saw the ship for 1 sec. Instantly subbed. What an awesome ship desgin!
Much appreciated man thank you for watching!
I like it, Wizard. I built your original Basilisk, and I'll be building this version on my next playthrough. You're right about the brig module - the RP value is great, but being non-functional just kinda ruins it. Loving that you included the armillary window!
There are mods that make the brigs functional, but consoles still don’t have mod support. If Bethesda doesn’t add the function before mods on console I will be installing that one lickety-split.
Thanks for watching!
100% of my ships are your builds. This is my next one. I love it, and I LOOOOVE the Scythe. I have no idea how you come up with these. GREAT $&@*ing WORK!!!
Damn man that’s awesome! They start with a small idea or the intent to use a specific part, like engine or bridge. Honestly I can’t wait for more parts to use because I seem to be running out of original ideas. I’m either gonna have to build other creators ships and/or just dive into mods.
I have two new ones coming soon, the Vulcan and the Omen, thanks for staying tuned!
Congratulations on 5k!!!
Thank YOU for helping get me there!
Fantastic ship
I've built this craft about half dozen times now, I think it's still the best ship out there, it's just a beast!
I did evolve few things with the design:
The battle station and computer core I thought work better as Nova habs, externally they join to the back of the bridge better I think.
I used a Hopetech bay that has a ladder straight up to the battle station, access to the lower floor is via the rear of the engineering bay.
Between the wings and main fuselage I removed the bumpers and put forward facing windows on the 2x2 living habs.
I had to add a hopetech spine connector on the upper floor behind bridge because of ladder issue, but the only actual ladder I have is at the back of engineering down to workshop.
Great work on all your ship builds!
PS, congrats on the 5k subs!
The best thing about it is how flexible the platform is. You can really build it in so many different ways.
Thanks for watching again!
Brother, keep on truckin'! Great videos and killer ships!
Bangin gears and slammin beers brother!
The absolute killer machine!! Wha a nice work you did! Appreciate it!
I build it exactly the way you described and i'm really surprised on the flight and fight abilities. Also the interior of the ship is really clear. I love it and will build it again and again in every upcoming ng+ 😅 Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thank you very much for your kind words, and for building this ship!
If you like this one you may also appreciate my other builds, and I’ve got a new one that will be coming soon as well.
Looking forward for your new build! Keep up the good work and thx for supporting Starfield. It's a great game imho
@GabiGirlization I agree, it’s a great game that does deserve some criticism but it gets over-hated. It will turn around just like so many previous BGS titles.
Built this last night and love the look. Keep up the great designs!
Thank you sir! Keep your eyes peeled for the Omen build guide, it’s a ripper.
This is my ultimate favorite ship build and my main ship I use throughout the game. I built it over the Razorleaf. Congrats on hitting 5K!
Thank you sir! Huge milestone for me, a revisit and overhaul of the Basilisk seemed like a great way to give back considering it seems to be everyone’s favorite.
I love it as a Razorleaf replacement, but for this one I wanted to show the build from scratch so everyone can choose which ship to build over and still be able to follow along with the steps. I also think that for RP, and based on the lore, the Scythe makes much more sense for a Razorleaf build. The Basilisk is WAY too big to fit in the Mantis Lair’s underground hangar pad. Not that you would be able to ever use it again but, IF you could, the Scythe would still fit.
Cheers man, thanks for watching!
@@WizeOldWizard I hear you regarding the Scythe. It would be cool if the Lair of the Mantis could be used as a player base of operations, but you'd need building capability there or a ship tech at the very least. Wasted opportunity, if you ask me. Fallout 4 had The Shroud with tons of available content, but Starfield is a measly space battle interaction that's the same every single time. You can literally dress as The Mantis and run around in The Key, and no one cares. Dumbfounding.
@mjohnson64064 I agree, like how could they miss those kind of things? Did they just disregard things like that or literally not think of them. Lots of deserved criticism, but the whole game isn’t trash like some would lead people to believe.
@@WizeOldWizard Agreed. I heard a lot of bad things about the game before I started playing, but I prefer to make up my own mind. I got the Xbox for Christmas, so I've only been playing for about two and a half months. I'm hooked!
Love the new hab layout! I'm debating whether to modify my current Basilisk or wait to make changes on my next NG+ run (I'm about 75% complete on my current run). Love the content and love the shout outs to other content creators!
Thank you! Considering the brigs are useless without mods, I thought it made more sense to make it feel a bit more inviting and comfortable on the inside.
If you’ve already got one in your original universe, save Basilisk II for NG+!
Congrats on 5K!
Thank you!
I'm deffo building this beast. Thanks.
My pleasure, I have a range of builds that you may enjoy as well.
Thanks for watching!
Hello, a few days ago I ran across one of your videos and I just want to say that I enjoy what I saw in your content and delivery of it. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much! New content on the way… Had a couple of wrestling matches with the game and my own ambition haha.
Subs are well deserved. The amount of time invested definitely shows. Well done 💪🏼
Thank you very much for consistently watching!
@@WizeOldWizard much obliged 🫡
o7
Congrats man
Thank you!
That thing is a beast
Late to the post, but congrats on your 5k subs man. I have enjoyed your content since discovering the original Basilisk vid. Keep em going. Looking forward to the future and whatever game you decide to add next.
Thanks man! It’s a huge milestone for me, something I never thought I would experience.
I am considering other games for sure, maybe not in the immediate future but at some point I do want to expand my coverage into other titles. Red Dead? Armored Core? Forza Horizon? Star Citizen? GTA VI is of course on the list but that’s a ways out still…
Wow, nice build!
Appreciate it, thanks for watching!
That’s a sexy looking ship. By far best looking ship I’ve seen in star field
Very kind words, thank you for watching!
i'm only lvl 34 so got a long way to go but this is one SMFS lol ... can't wait to build it..
Smooth Mothafuckin Ship?
Check out the Aetos, perfect build at your level!
Super Massive Fuckin Ship 😅
@Neognostic-pk5wu not as big as the next one. Praise the modders!
Hey Wizard this has turned out incredibly well, keep up the good work. I might just need to just copy this one instead of going from scratch
Thank you very much my friend, copy away!
Congrats on the 5K man! Hope you have a celebration IRL
Thank you dude! You’re one of the reasons that I’m here now, and why I’m going to keep pushing out content.
As far as irl celebration, I need a new beer fridge in the garage so I might do that today hahahah.
@WizeOldWizard Dude I'm not sure how you did it bur you easily have one of the least toxic/most positive comment sections I've ever seen. Mad props to you for cultivating such a healthy (from what I've seen anyway) community. Hope you got that beer fridge 💪
@graysenm1320 I have no clue either but I am super thankful it is growing in that way. I do get the odd “too bad the game doesn’t have actual space travel, ships are pointless, the game is trash” comments but they have been real rare.
DUDE! They were closed on Sunday so I gotta wait until this coming Saturday to go back hahaha damnit.
@WizeOldWizard Yeah man the hate for this game is crazy. I have my fair share of critiques for Starfield but it's still a great game to me. Hahaha the Sunday rule is such trash! It recently changed in my state to where you can buy alcohol after 12pm on Sunday but not before 😮💨
@graysenm1320 liquor stores here are open on Sundays, it’s the appliance store that I prefer to purchase from that was closed. A mistake on my part to not check until Sunday, but now I know!
Impressive improvement
Been using this ship as my main for a while now totally redid the habs though with the new interior customisation. My only problem with the design is the neck part around the cockpit is awkwardly flat imo, I wish starfield had smaller structural pieces for detail and a higher peice count, but that's nothing mods can't fix eventually. Honestly such a great build would never have thought about a window to the grav drive and I love how great it looks from behind the shape is amazing!
I agree, it is impossible to make a smooth transition from the bridge with the current selection of parts. It’s one of those ‘is what it is’ kind of things. I think that the change from Stroud habs to Deimos habs connecting to the lower hatch creates a better transition, but I don’t really see how to make that any better.
Who doesn’t love a good backside?
Cheers man, thanks for the feedback!
I made some changes to the Aegis and turned it into a class C then I also made some cosmetic changes to the ship
I will also build this one and try it out
Glad to see your subscribers growing also glad to see you are still putting out Starfield content
If you didn’t build the original, you’re in for a treat. Thanks for watching again! I’ll keep at it until the Starfield well runs dry.
@@WizeOldWizard
This new layout is fantastic
I am going to change my other one that I built on the Razorleaf to this layout
Well done 👍
I'll just say it again... great build (redesign) of my fav ship, Aegis is a close second. Can't wait to see what's in the future with the expansion coming. The only bad thing is when I do a NG+ I lose all those beauties, oh well that's what the vyntium and tasine farms are for.
I concur, it will suck to have to build out a fleet from scratch again, but credits aren’t hard to come by. The biggest hindrance is the damn vendor limit which, by the way, apparently increases with each NG+.
Nicely done, built it myself.
Thank you for watching! Feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thank you! I made this then went into the Union and lost it! Couldn't find the video. I'm remaking it tonight.
My pleasure man, thanks for watching again!
Thanks for the hard work
Thanks for all the support!
I haven't played in quite a while, because I have acchieved everything I wanted in the game as it currently is. But I loved fyling the Basilisk, and the first DLC is apparently coming soon-ish, so I might hop in game and rework the ship to a Basilisk II, so that I'm ready when the update with new content arrives.
I hope some DLC including ship parts is on the way. I need some new shapes to play with!
My Sunday is now complete - a new Wizard ship design to...attempt...to copy!
I have to say that this is the easiest one to follow yet, but if you have any problems don’t hesitate to holler at me!
Great vid. I watched the original but didn't get around to building it 😂. You've also earned a new sub my good sir! Keep up the great work.
Happy to have you, thanks for watching!
Now I have to build this. Must. Build. This. I have been in my Basilisk ever since you first put it out. Nothing else will do once you have one. This looks even better! Congratulations and many, many thanks! 😊👍
My pleasure, my good man! Thank you for watching again and leaving a comment. Cheers!
Thanks!
Dude thank YOU!
I'd like to start off by saying this is an extraordinary build. Did everything but weapons last night. For those of you deciding to build this, you will have to pause every now and then to see what is actually being selected because its not always in alignment with the audio. But with a little patience its quite easy to put together. I know the brig doesn't offer any real value, but I couldn't call myself a "Bounty Hunter" without one, cheers #subbed
Thank you very much! I try to squeeze in some of the reasoning behind module choice and placement as I build, and it leads to some voiceover overlap. I’m making lots of mistakes still and learning along the way. Eventually I’ll be experienced enough with the editing and voiceover that I’ll be able to compensate for the time required to explain something without letting the footage outpace me.
Your feedback has given me some ideas to solve this problem. Thank you for watching and providing me with valuable viewer insight!
@@WizeOldWizard Please turn off the function that prevents editing a comment. I had to delete mine and post again.
[if this edit in brackets posts now, it means it's fixed]
@johnspartan98 I have not seen that as an option anywhere. In fact, as far as comments go, I have them set to be completely unrestricted. Are you familiar with where that setting is located?
@johnspartan98 well I checked my settings. Although I had comment moderation set to ‘None’ when I uploaded, it had somehow changed to ‘Basic’. I don’t know if that was preventing editing but that is the only setting that I have relating to comments. Maybe check to see if you have the option now, it would be valuable for me to know if that’s how it works or not. Thanks.
@@WizeOldWizard Whatever you did, it is now fixed. I did a test edit to my comment above. Placed the edit in backets.
A lot of ship builders seem to be unaware that some of the class C engines can be duplicated into each other to form a taller engine while taking up less height and retaining the stats of the two engines. I do this all all the time when building ships with the SAL 6330's and the 6830's. The two engine stack fits into 3 snap points instead of needing 4 snap points one above the other. I place the bottom engine first, then use the duplicate function and the top engine interlocks into the bottom.
If you haven't done so already, could you make a video showing this interlocking stacking method?
Grats fella 😊 will have to go make some cash and save up to do a few of these 😁
A FEW of them? Damn man! Thanks for watching again, enjoy!
@@WizeOldWizard the Basilisk was worth it though! Shouldn't rake to long...
Excellent build. Made it last night.. easy to build.. fast.. deadly.. might build the Citadel next..
Oh man you’ll enjoy the Citadel too, one of my favorite ships to fly in first-person. Fantastic visibility.
Just a word of warning though, the original build was based on module availability at level 49. You can and should choose level 60 upgrades for the reactor and weapons.
@@WizeOldWizard I dont have a Kepler R to use as a platforn. Used it for something else. Do you have a suggestion what to use?
@shanehall8447 use whatever you want, though if you want to reduce the build cost, use the biggest and highest-tier ship that you have available. Or just go and purchase the cheapest ship you can find. It seems there are still some bugs associated with captured ships, so if you go that route just be aware of that.
@@WizeOldWizard thanks for the response. I was thinking about going to capture a ship
@shanehall8447 have you picked up the Dagger from Vulture’s Roost already?
Duuuuuuude! Congrats on the 5k!! That is a great milestone. Now, how do you make your 1hr videos feel so much shorter? That is craaazy!
The redesign on the rear is great and the interior window looks awesome, i think you made a great choice on that! The basilisk made better... who woulda thought itd be possible with an already OP destroyer?
Thank you for great content and videos always! Look forward to more builds!
Thank you sir! Very much appreciate the support you’ve offered me along the way.
I’m gonna shoot for an episode of Becoming a God next, and then maybe automated Vytinium Fuel Rod operation?
@@WizeOldWizard dude whatever order you wanna take them out in its up to you entirely! But ill be ready for whatever you release next!
Well done 👍👍
Thank you!
Another excellent build! I gotta say, your videos help make stuff like harvesting High-Tensile Spidiron on Linneus II a lot less tedious, let me tell you!
I also like to have a ladder well in my ships, even with the Cabot bridge for similar reasons. One difference in our design philosophy for how we handle ladders probably comes down to the fact I have exensive experience with naval architecture (I served for 6 years, nearly all of it shipboard duty & I qualified for advanced damage control & fire fighting even though my primary job was missile fire control), so I design it so that ladders are always isolated to 1x1 habs, creating what we (former) sailors call an access trunk. This allows every compartment (hab module) to be sealed off in the event of a hypothetical hull breach (with the access trunk acting as its own tall, skinny compartment), much like modern warships are sectioned off into watertight compartments to contain flooding.
Of course, I do realize that the game doesn't have hull breach mechanics or anything like that (although I wouldn't put it past enterprising modders to add such a mechanism), but I feel it adds a bit of realism, even if it does make me have to compromise on hab module placement at times. I do kinda wish that you could sound the general quarters alarm & have your crew set material condition zebra throughout the ship (close all the doors) on the way to their assigned crew stations, but that would probably be expecting too much from a Bethesda game, lol!
Thank you very much! Man, can you imagine that level of gameplay detail? That would be insane! I’m hopeful that with the continued development of the game that Bethesda will be adding some impressive mechanics, and one the CK is out, modders will be doing the same. So much potential!
I also appreciate the knowledge you offered up about real-life ship architecture and procedures. Really interesting stuff!
@@WizeOldWizard TBH, the hypothetical mod I am most looking forward to would basically be a Starfield port for the OCDecorator mod from Fallout 4: Being able to place loose items as static decorations without having to only use display shelves would be a huge boon for both ship & outpost building. Not to mention I could finally not have random junk scattered all over the floor of my ship due to crew members knocking loose objects about (it also bothers me from my Navy experience: We call loose stuff like that "gear adrift" and NOT having that sort of stuff secured before setting sail would earn you a good ass chewing from your chief or division officer, at the very least!)
I also greatly appreciate you taking time to reply to my comments.
@DJ_Bonebraker hm, I’m curious if you’re aware of the fact that when you drop a misc item, you can then use the builder to pick it ip as an item and place it wherever you want, manually. Using this method also makes that item static, meaning it can’t be knocked around by other objects or NPC’s. Miss O Plays has some great interior decorating content that you may find helpful.
As for responding to you, I try to make it a point to respond to everyone. I care about my viewer’s experience and if I wasn’t responsive, I think people would get mixed feelings about my motivation for doing this. It’s because of folks like you enabling my channel to grow. The videos themselves can’t answer every question and in some cases may create more questions for some.
@@WizeOldWizard I remember trying that once, but it didn't work for some reason... I will give it a try again (maybe they fixed it recently?) & see if it works. Be nice if it would work with the random containers of explodey stuff in the engineering bay, because you'd THINK that if you were going to secure anything, it would be THAT! Finally will give me a way to place all those potted plants I've looted that can't be displayed on the normal display shelves...
@DJ_Bonebraker I know for a fact it works in outposts, but I don’t know about ship interiors. I have not touched the new interior mechanics yet. Too much editing to do first.
You ended up doing the same thing I did with your previous basilisk by removing the bigger fuel tank and creating a core observation area. Try putting a view port underneath the captains armory too!
I may just do that! The things I learned after building the original really led me to make these improvements. The original was my very first build, and so I never had the extra tinkering time to even consider things like I’ve done here.
Thanks for watching!
Congratulations on the 5000🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. That ship looks soo good. You have what it takes to do this. NASA should hire you!!!
Thank you very much man! I may have what it takes but NASA still can’t make starships that can do this!
Seriously though, you helped me get to that 5k, and I intend to return the favor when I feature one of your builds. Thank you for all the support you’ve given me!
@@WizeOldWizard dude your knowledge of ship parts, the way you explain how to build, and the jokes with vendors. You have the talent to do so much with this game! Thank you for the kind words! I now have over 2500 hours in the game and I cannot put it down! And then seeing what you do. Shit it makes me think and play even longer you are the best builder by far thank you so much for what you do for all of us!!!!!!!!!
@danceswithowls4000 holy shit man, that’s an impressive amount of playtime! I’m approaching 1000 but I just don’t have the time to devote that much to it unfortunately.
You are way too kind and I really appreciate the continued support! I will get around to building at least one of your original ships, might be like a herd of turtles but it will happen!
Or Starfield 😊
@@WizeOldWizard no worries my dude! I am still working on my fighter aircraft getting a couple of version but it is hard to keep them small lol
Wizard you make some great ships no doubt about it. Myself I'm still using the Frontier base ship with better guns, engines and about 1000 cargo. And I call it the Hornets Nest. I like small ships that pack a punch. But, can back out of trouble quicker then I get into it. Like Han solo says it's the fastest hunk of junk in the Galaxy. My age works against me so playing the game on hard or very hard isn't going to happen. But, I do enjoy your video's all the same. And what ever you do don't stop what you are doing, Onwards and Upwards.
Thank you very much! If you like small ships, the Scythe will give you the edge you need, if you haven’t already seen it…
Yes I have seen it. And it will be my next build thank you.@@WizeOldWizard
Awesome, I think you’ll enjoy the hell out of it!
Awesome build better than anything I've made, you should give it to Sona when you ng+😀. I typically only run 3 designs. 1. a shipthief with 6 obltiorators, 6 hellfires and a suppressor. 2. a Borg cube with 9+ turrets inside as they shoot through the walls, a single 3015 engine for 180+ speed (as thrusting makes this broken!) 30k+ cargo. And 3. The frontier. Congrads on 5k!
Damn, who’s Sona?
Sona you meet if you do Sarah Morgan's companion quest. Spoiler alert there is bad writing in this quest.
@corrosiongod oh right! So you get the option to give her a ship at the end? I haven’t even finished a playthrough yet.
She’ll FOR SURE get my baddest ship when I get there in this playthrough.
@@WizeOldWizard unfortunately no option to do that exists. I just meant it as role play head canon. There are many things I would change as far as the story in game, a last will... They only have 2 accredited writers so we got what they payed for. Thanks for the conversation! Rare on CZcams for sure!
Ah ok, I was thinking how have I not heard of this?
I also didn’t know that they only had two writers. That’s… A shitty decision but what do I know lol.
Anytime man! I try to respond to everyone. Cheers!
I have built several of your Designs and have enjoyed All. I also made several of these exact changes to mine😂 You ought to check out Deimos 3x1 Living(or may be an All in one) its quickly becoming a Fav! Thx Wiz!
I LOVE the 3x1 quarters and all-in-ones! Have one on the Citadel. For this one I chose the engineering bay so that it would have the core window. But you can swap it out for any 3x1 of your choice.
Thanks for watching another one!
I don't have an astrophysics degree, so I'll stick with the Frontier! Lol
You don’t need to be an expert, I figured it all out and have provided instructions. I do have smaller, simpler builds though. Plus, the Frontier sucks.
00:15 On the way to 10k 😄
I know, it’s nuts!
Hope you're doing well man, still watching previous video's for inspiration and idea's.
Doin just fine, thanks for asking! Hope you are doing well too.
Really appreciate ya’lls patience, I know it’s been over two months but I am working on the edit for the next one, followed closely by another ship build. That won’t be all in the near future either, I’ve got 5 planned with the footage I’ve capped over this upload break.
Thank you for all the support!
@@WizeOldWizard Rock on man, can't rush perfection 😃
Hahah idk about perfection but my audio should be much cleaner from now on.
Half the reason for the delay was the temperamental cargo links. Now I am rushing lol.
I started using the Pinch 8A due to ShipTechnician’s video. I don’t notice the loss of 4 power and gain a bunch of hull.
That’s definitely the best choice for hull rating, I’d rather have the extra power so I can delete threats more easily before they deplete my shield completely. That said, I do want to build a heavy ship around this reactor for sure.
ShipTechnician is great! I’ve learned a lot from his analyses.
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!
@@WizeOldWizard I really enjoy your videos and builds, congrats on 5k.
Particle beam weapons are so OP I don’t notice any significant loss in firepower losing one point in two weapons and two points in the third weapon.
Keep making awesome content!
OUTSTANDING builds as always, Wiz!! I personally modified my SLIGHTLY (poorly) modded Razorleaf to the Basilisk I and laughed and laughed as Spacers and Crimson ran from me!! But, it got old quick cuz I like to board big boats and take 'em down hand-to-hand so I can use the unreg ship exploit and farm credits. All that aside, I have some questions -- why the 28T shield when it seems like you've completed UC Vanguard -- Bulwark is same category but 1450 instead of 1100 and I think weighs 20k less. Two, you don't have automatic but are autocannon turrets? Also, ballistic or laser over particle? I'm rocking the Obliterators and Helion but my third group are 8000 suppressors for take-downs. Also, if you don't mind the slight weight, using 1k cargobin lieu of spacers -- 6.5K cargo, 130 spd and 90 mobility, good enough for gov't work!! Looking forward to modding up to Basilisk II based on interior layout!! BZ Brother -- keep up the great work!!
Thank you kindly! I’m gonna try to answer all your questions…
The 28t has 1,500 shield capacity and slightly faster recharge rate than the Vanguard Bulwark. You’re correct about the weight, I see them as fairly equivalent and I tend to choose the Vanguard shield when I don’t have a good place to mount the 28t, like in the Scythe.
Autocannons are not turrets. Unless a weapon has ‘turret’ in the name, they are pilot guns. And yes, I have chosen to replace my usual 3rd group of particle beams with Vanguard Hellfires. Number one because using all particle beams makes combat a little too easy and kind of boring, very little dynamics to it. Hellfires are insanely devastating to hulls, so I’m enjoying using the PBO-175’s and Vanguard Obliterators to wipe shields, and when my target gets close, unleash the Hellfires. If you blink you miss the hull HP just disappear. They give you a close-range trump card, they’re awesome. I’m actually running the same weapons on the Scythe, Helion, Aetos, and Aegis now too! Regarding cargo, equip as much or as little as you like. I don’t need large cargo holds on any of my ships because I have the Slab. I just use that whenever I need to haul a bunch of stuff. Fill it up and then fly another ship of your choice.
Also! What does BZ mean?
@WizeOldWizard Ah!! Perils of mobile viewing - tiny screen is tiny!! I'll be looking into that option for shield then, thanks. When I finally stop raiding ships, I'll consider the ballistic sh1+storm cannons as my 3rd. Oh, and BZ or Bravo Zulu is militarese (USN) for "Good Job" or "Well Done" 😎😎😎
Thanks for that explanation, I’ll remember that one!
I would recommend having two particle beam weapon groups as they are sufficient for damaging shields and hulls, and then whatever else you like as your third, be it suppressors or ballistics. I find lasers kind of useless next to particle beams due to their limited range, but ballistics synergize well even with their shorter range because with pb’s you can have shields downed by the time your enemy enters your ballistics range.
I look forward to seeing slight variants of this on Reddit for a few months.
Me too! I love that my builds can inspire other players.
Hi wizard, love the basilisk its a great ship..im just wondering if there is any point to the scan jammer if im not bothering with contraban at all ?
That is strictly for contraband, so if you don’t ever pick any up then no need! Same with shielded cargo, you can replace those with their non-shielded versions.
Awesome ship. What do you think about the negative reviews of Starfield?
There are things that could have been done better, but overall the game is incredible. I already have over 1,000 hours over two characters and I haven’t even entered the Unity yet.
I think much of the negativity comes from players who had very specific expectations, or just prefer a different type of game. Starfield is slow, for a reason. It doesn’t spoon-feed you anything really, you have to go find it. You can build ships but the game doesn’t even begin to tell you how, and that’s the same with outposts. I think it is definitely geared towards the more mature gaming audience. If the people that dislike it would just leave it alone and stop using their disdain as an attention-getting tact, we’d be seeing a lot less rampant negativity. Sure we’d still see criticisms but it would be more constructive and the community could more clearly communicate improvements that we’d like to see.
What do you think about it?
@@WizeOldWizard Yeah I totally agree. There are some things that could have been better but I still think it's the best space RPG. I love the world and how immersive it is. I think they'll fix the issues with updates and DLC in time anyway.
The problem with attaching the armory to the top rear of the HopeTech Captain's Quarters is the ladder removes the nav console.
Very true. I’m not bothered by it because the ship also has a large Battle Stations. Otherwise that would suck.
I love your builds!! I would love to chat about sponsoring a video
Well thank you very much! I would also like to discuss a sponsored video, what is your preferred method of communication?
@@WizeOldWizard I added some links on my profile, I see those were lacking
I can't go to most of these due to me being in the Crimson Fleet. If I turn myself in, I'll be in the negatives for exp. So I build what I could and used that as a template.
You just need to go pay your Bounty at a Tracker’s Alliance Terminal. You can build one at an outpost that is not in one of the faction controlled star systems.
If you don’t have enough credits, build a Vytinium mine like I did in my first outpost video. Sleep until your storage is full, go to the Key and sell it all, build that bounty terminal at your mine outpost, and then you can go wherever again. I’m in the Fleet too.
Hey Wiz, I dig this ship. I even named it after you - The Wizard’s Hand. It’s now my everyday flyer. But I have a question - for the two armory habs, why didn’t you use the one that has glass spacesuit displays? Just curious…
Because those mannequins are bugged and tend to make the suits that you equip to them disappear. I do love the Nova armory, and I used it in the Aegis, but I will not be displaying armor until there is confirmation that the bug has been squashed.
This ship is something else...
This statement can be used when referring to something good or bad, I’m hoping it’s the former in this case…
Thanks for watching!
@@WizeOldWizard It was a compliment. Actually doing this 1 right now xDD.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt but I didn’t want to make any assumptions either.
I hope you enjoy it, thanks for watching!
Wow this ship looks amazing! I have one problem though. How do I get the "grunt work" mission? cant seem to find it.
It’s the first mission in the UC Vanguard questline. Go to the MAST district in New Atlantis, head up the stairs into the MAST building, turn left, and there you’ll find Commander Tuala standing behind his desk. Talk to him to start it. If you want to see where this is at, I included it in my early game outpost guide.
@@WizeOldWizard I found him! this is gonna be fun :D thank you so much!!
@Henkizen you’re welcome, enjoy!
Gonna try to salvage the abomination I came up with and replace it with this bad boy
If you never built the original Basilisk, you’re going to absolutely love this ship.
Thanks for watching!
Such an awesome build! I just tried putting it together, and I love it. But for some reason I don't get a door leading from the 3x1 Engineering Bay into the 2x2 Battle Station. I've tried rearranging several times, even rebuilt it from the ground up, but still no door. I have to take the ladder all the way up and go down the stairs in the bridge to get to the battle station area of the ship.
Any tips/ideas for how I would correct that?
Well first thing first, I gotta know if you followed my build order exactly? Did you use the Attach method for every hab whenever possible?
And the next important piece of info I need is which version of the game you play on?
@@WizeOldWizard I did follow it exactly. The only things I changed were instead of the armory behind the workshop on the entrance level, I put a science lab. And the armory ontop of the captains quarters I changed to a Hopetech module for the mannequins. Everything else is exactly the same. I used the attach method on everything you did in the video, I made sure to copy it exactly because I wanted to the same layout.
I'm playing on the latest version on PC. Hopefully that's not an issue with how things are attaching that is preventing that door from being there.
@@WizeOldWizard Actually just figured it out after way too long messing around with stuff. In the video you mention using the Nova Galactic engineering bay 3x1 instead of the Deimos for the lightning issues, but that the Deimos should be ok. I went with the Deimos. Just swapped it for the Nova version and the door appeared.
Not sure how I missed that after redoing the ship a couple times, but on this redo I did notice and sure enough the door appeared. Thanks for responding so quick and again, awesome build, awesome ship! Looking forward to the next one 😁
@evanp1225 it’s wild to me that stuff like this happens. The reason I even mentioned the lighting problem is because I initially used the Deimos, and I had no problems with door and ladder placement. Why on Todd’s green earth isn’t it just consistent across the board? Can’t wait for more mod support or a hefty ship building patch.
Thanks a bunch for watching and I’m glad you figured it out! Your support and engagement is hugely appreciated! I’m working on more content including ships, I hope you’ll stick around. Cheers!
have to get more creds hehe
Vytinium mine!
I have found some cool things to do with the Assurance SG-1800 shield (1600 shield def). You can place it inside a 1x1 (I prefer Taiyo for the space) by drop down glitch . You can paint it and there is clipping visually, but it looks really cool. I put it on my main ladder to a cockpit. Paint it whatever and it adds a great interior detail.
Is there a way I can send you some pics? Discord?
I’d be happy to add you on discord, send me your username and I’ll send you a request!
Regarding your shield placement suggestions, that isn’t really my thing. I use minimal glitches on cosmetics or storage but the whole ‘glitch this part inside of that part’ just doesn’t sit right for my own builds. Either way, we’re all free to express our creativity in the builder, and that’s what really matters!
"Many people have been asking me this: "Why do we need one big, black, aluminum hogging, screw The Amazing Digital Circus, I only watch Lackadaisy replacement of the already tried-and-true Inferno-class destroyer? It even looks the same!" I say this: Just how safe do you feel? We live in an age in which a pirate can easily ram a ship of much smaller size to death, or worse unleash a kamikaze assault on our beloved UC Vigilance, knowing full well that the pirate ship's potentially larger size can inflict damage that our shields absolutely *won't* protect against. The need for a strong, battle-ready fleet has never been greater" -UC Fleet Admiral Winston Stone greenlighting the production of the Atlas-class destroyer; seen here a final prototype and exhibition model made by Wizard Shipbuilding Inc
You’re a fuckin storyteller man! Love it!
Thanks for watching again!
Is it possible to build this with nothing but Nova Galactic habs? Not the Structural parts, but just the habs (and also the bay)? And if so, are there any particular placement changes I need to make note of?
Of course that is possible, but in terms of specific placement changes or variations in hatch/ladder placement, there’s no way I could know without trying it myself.
The best advice that I can give you is to go to New Homestead and purchase the necessary amount of large habs (2x2 or larger) that will replace any large habs that I used from other manufacturers.
I’ve built two ships since I published this one, so I’m going by memory here, but I already used 2 Nova 2x2 habs, and there’s only one other 2x2. I used a Deimos 2x2 battle station, so when you’re at New Homestead just make sure you get 3 2x2 habs. Once you’re at your outpost landing pad, you can freely swap between the variants of 2x2 depending on where you’re putting it. Make sure to follow my build order exactly while using the habs of your choice.
@WizeOldWizard I'm not sure if you'd be able to answer, but would you have an idea of how using a Nova bay would work vs the one you're using? Cause the one you used has the entrance to the ship in the back, whereas the Nova entrance is one where you climb up into the ship.
@Crimson_Loki you can do that, but I can’t guarantee that it won’t change the internal ladder placement. If you delete the lowest 1x1, attach the Nova bay in its place so that your hatch is placed at the bottom of the main ladder shaft. You’ll be able to keep the workshop and armory that are on the lowest deck, but a ladder will be generated by the game that only drops down into the workshop hab from the 3x1 engineering bay. If that doesn’t bother you, then there’s nothing stopping you!
Any suggestions on how to attach the grav drive to the ship using keyboard and mouse? The darn thing just won’t click into position! I saw that you elevated the drive somehow to click it in there but my builder won’t let me raise it up off the floor level…😠😩
Never mind, I figured it out😂😅
Good deal, thanks for watching man, enjoy the ship!
