Starfield Ship Build: Copinger

Copinger


 

Introduction

We recently lost one of our members of the Starfield Anonymous Discord. Before his passing, he posted a Build-Off challenge to make ships based on the Expanse TV series. This prompted me to watch the Expanse and I can totally see why he wanted to build around this incredible series.

This build uses Ballistics and Missiles only. The missiles are ideal for stripping shields and the ballistics are used to finish off the enemy.

This wasn't built with fully developed in-game lore. I designed it to be a smuggler ship but haven't really developed any sort of cast of characters. I didn't know what to name it, so I looked up famous smugglers and came across a British character known as Cruel Copinger. Thus the ship got its name.

 

Components


 

  1. (2x) 500 He3 Tank
  2. (4x) Hope 6 Landing Gear, 2 Fore/2 Mid
  3. (2x) Accu-Lander 11 Landing Gear
  4. Stroud-Eklund All-in-One Berth A 2x1
  5. NG-6 Landing Bay
  6. (3) Supernova 2100 Engines
  7. Theta Pinch D9 Reactor
  8. (4x) Jishaku Nd RF Rapid Railgun Turret
  9. (4x) Horizon Weapon Mount (note two forward mounts not labeled)
  10. (2x) Stroud Engine Bracer A
  11. (4x) de Gama 1020 Shielded Cargo Hold
  12. (2x) de Gama 1020 Cargo Hold
  13. Aurora 13G Grav Drive
  14. Assurance 1800 Shield Generator
  15. Stroud Workshop 2x1
  16. Stroud Control Station 2x1
  17. Nova Weapon Mount
  18. (4x) Jishaku Nd Railgun 
  19. CE-59 Missile Launcher
  20. 10ST Hauler Shielded Cargo Hold

  23. Magellan C1 Cockpit
  24. Porthole-Top

  26. (4x) Nova Thruster Array

There is also a Multi-Frequency Scan Jammer attached to one of the Horizon Weapon mounts. It is not labeled. You can pick one up from the Red Mile and it mounts to any weapon point.


Assembly

Assembly should be relatively easy. There is one flip merge to cover the Shield with the aft Cargo hold. Starting from Right to Left, simply place the Porthole, Docker and Missile Launcher directly on top of the component to the left. Place the Shield on top of the Grav Drive.

Select the Top Deck, minus the Cargo Hold, and drag it over to the Main Deck. Flip Merge the Cargo Hold over the Shield.

Group select the new combined layer and drag it over to the Lower Deck.

    Awesome ship with a righteous reason behind it. A very cool concept build to bridge between Starfield and the Expanse. Outstanding as usual, sir.

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
