Starfield Build: Logistician

Logistician



 

Introduction

The Logistician is Stroud-Eklund's answer to the Small Form Factor Transport Vessel, though Stroud coined the marketing term "Convenience Frame Logistics" to describe their SFFTV line of vessels.

So, a couple of notes about this build. I wanted to do entirely Stroud--Eklund but I needed all of the Landing Gear. I'm a little bit OCD about the Landing Bay NOT having lifting thrusters, so I just decided to swap in an extra Accu-Lander gear and use the Ship Bed 200 Landing Bay instead.

The Habs on the Main Deck are precisely how they need to be so that the All-in-One retains both the Galley and the Restroom. For me, I design role-playing builds so that's important to me. If it is not to you, feel free to swap things around. You can even change the habs to whatever. The build simply requires three 2x1 habs (or equivalent larger habs) on the Main Deck.

Now onto the build. The build is so straightforward that I included both the Lower and Main Deck on one image.

 

Head Canon/Lore

"Where our competitors cut corners, Stroud-Eklund rounds out our award-winning classics with comfort and amenities. Our new Logistician class of Convenience Frame Logistics vessels are no different.

  2. (2) Stroud Nose Cap C (Port, Stbd)
  3. Stroud Engineering Bay 3x1
  4. Ship Bed 200 Landing Bay

 


 

Main Deck

  1. (4) Panoptes De Gama 1020 Cargo Hold (2 Port, 2 Stbd)
  2. (3) Amun-3 Engine
  3. Stroud Control Station 2x1
  4. (2) Stroud Cap A -Fore, Top (Port, Stbd)
  5. (2) Flare P 15MW IR Pulse Laser (attached to Stroud Cap A)
  6. Shroud Infirmary 2x1
  7. Stroud Braking Engine
  8. Shroud All-in-One A 2x1

 

Upper Deck/Structural


  1. (2) Panoptes Ares DT40 Engine (Port, Stbd)
  2. Reladyne R-3000 Grav Drive
  3. (2) Panoptes De Gama 1020 Cargo Hold (Port, Stbd)
  4. (2) Dogstar M30 Ulysses He3 Tank (Port, Stbd)
  5. Stroud Captain's Quarters 2x1
  6. Stroud-Eklund Viking CP-100 Cockpit
  7. Xiang Tokamax X-150 Reactor
  8. Connect Pro Docker - Top
  9. Nautilus Bastille S82 Shield Generator

 

Assembly

Assemble each Deck/Layer as shown in the images above. Drag the Main Deck over to the Lower Deck so that the Stroud Cap A pieces rest directly above the Stroud Cap C pieces. Leave the Fuel Tanks and Cockpit detached from the Upper Deck. Drag the rest of the Upper Deck over to the Main Deck so that the Reactor and Grav Drive rest on top of the Amun-3 Engines.

The Cockpit will have to be drop merged to get it into its place. Once done, place the M30 Ulysses tanks on the side snap points of the bridge. Snap the Shield Generator to the top of the Cockpit. The Connect Pro Docker will snap to the point behind the Shield.

 

Upgrade Path

For all of their bluster about rounding out their products, Stroud-Eklund just slapped a couple of cheap lasers on the Logistician. Being a Starter Ship, you'll want to upgrade just about everything but those lasers will probably be your starting point.

After that, it's just a matter of leveling up, developing your Pilot and Ship Design skills to improve as many components as needed to make your build work for you

    Pretty damn neat ship, a Stroud design that doesn’t look like a cookie or a sandwich. This whole concept is pretty cool for platforms that give you all you need with ship easily upgradable. Great job.

      Hope it gave you something to read in the evening after a hard day of work. Still two more (Nova Galactic and Taiyo) to do.

      Did at that. Always a pleasure to see what kind of story/lore you come up with for each design.

Starfield Build: Star Vault

  Nova Galactic Vault-Tec: Star Vault   Introduction Okay, @Mtfreeman (on the Starfield Anonymous Discord) made a passing comment about making a Vault-Tec space vault. Here is my answer to that comment (he never made it an official challenge). I give you the Star Vault.  My operating hypothesis is that Vault-Tec got a hold of some Zetan technology and did their absolute best to duplicate form and function within the scope of then current technology. They paired up with the Nova Galactic in their version of reality to create the most powerful ship that they could and put aboard a  small compliment of Vault occupants. Head Canon/Lore In the spirit of the malleable Fallout canon, this ship is equipped with anachronistic Engines, Reactor, Grav Drive, Weapons, and Shield. It's insidious experiment was to test the occupants' ability to adapt by Grav Jumping once every 24 Standard/Earth hours to a random star. The very few occupants exited the Star Vault after a few of these random j

Starfield Builds: Celestia

Celestia Introduction The Celestia is a B-class multi-purpose vehicle. It is a competent fighter, cargo transport, and passenger ship all at once. I don't remember which ship I built it from, but the Fuel Tank is beyond the character's Ship Design skill. It was most certainly a pirate ship of some sort, with "pirate" meaning any of the antagonistic factions out there. The Celestia is greatly inspired by the Galaxy-class Freighter from the Wing Commander: Privateer game from a couple of decades past. That ship had much more narrow engine nacelles and they were mounted on thin rails. I think that this ship captures the overall feel of the Galaxy-class within the Starfield universe.   Head-canon Lore The Celestia is a Galactic-class civilian transport built by the Deimos Staryard in the Sol system. The Galactic-class is a sleeper favorite of explorers, bounty hunters, and other adventurers who roam the galactic highways.   General Overview The Celestia is truly a Jack-of

Starfield Builds: Redshift

  Redshift Introduction WARNING : This ship uses a fair amount of merging techniques to get the engine pods to look like they do. Rather than try to explain each step, please visit Crimson Flyboy's tutorial video on merging . I used the drop merging technique on those pieces . That out of the way, this is my "entry" for the Discord Ship Building challenge. As this is an informal challenge, the only rule was to build a ship for a member of Constellation.  I chose Noel, as she is the least developed character in Constellation. I don't play nice with the Constellation members, but I know that Noel is not a companion and, according to an online source, doesn't really have much of a backstory. That was perfect for me, as it gave me room to invent something whole cloth. And, if later on Bethesda gets around to giving Noel something more substantive than being told to shut up by Sarah, there are a whole lot of universes out there in the multiverse. My Noel dwells in one
