This Guide is intended to be a beginner’s tutorial on Ship building complete with video walkthroughs of 5 Class A ships, one at each of the 5 major shipyards in Starfield. Each of the 5 ship tutorials occupies its own Section in this guide which also includes a complete parts list.No mod should be necessary for the building of these ships, but one mod may make the ship building more convenient and easier and that is a All ship parts unlocked mod of which we have links to in this guide.

Introduction
The first ship listed in this guide, the Deimos Class A, should be able to be built with a level 10 to 17 character who has around 75,000 credits on hand and has unlocked the skill Starship Design Rank 1. This ship can be built at the Deimos Staryard orbiting Phobos a Moon of Mars in the Sol System.
The other 4 ships
For the rest of the ships in this guide you’ll ideally need to build an Outpost and place the landing pad which needs to be the one titled “Landing Pad with Ship Builder”. The only requirement should be Starship design 1 so as long as you have built an outpost and have the materials to do so which are: 18 Adaptive Frames, 2 Beryllium, 30 Iron, and 2 Zero Wire.
*Two useful optional mods
Again, it should be noted that the Ships can be built at their respective Staryards if you follow the additional suggestions within the parts listed in this guide for each ship, otherwise you can use the Creations mod ALL Ship Parts Unlocked[creations.bethesda.net] from the in-game mod menu or you can use the Nexus mod All ship parts unlevelled at all vendors[www.nexusmods.com] which also unlocks all ship parts. For installation of the Nexus mod install as you normally would with your mod manager or see the “Feedback & Questions” section down below.
IF you should ever run into a situation where in the middle of your ship build a part you need is not available at that vendor – do not panic. Simply add any similar part (or sometimes any part) as a temporary solution so the ship builder will allow you to save your ship until you get to the next ship vendor/staryard (see link in this section for a list of all vendors).
Achievements
Also, for those who use mods but still want the ability to earn achievements as you normally would I suggest: Starfield Achievement Enabler[www.nexusmods.com] which has no requirements other than the base game.
