Introduction

Hey guys, Dantic here, back with another Starfield video. Today, I'll be showing you the absolute best places to purchase Starship Parts. The ultimate part vendors are located around the universe, and each focuses on a single manufacturer, offering high-end parts for your ships. In this article, I'll guide you through each location and highlight the unique features and designs of the parts from different manufacturers. So, let's dive in!

1. Taio Astring - High-End Parts for Ships

First up is Taio Astring. To find this vendor, you need to make your way to the city of Neon in the Volley system, specifically on the planet Volley Alpha. Once in the city, head straight until you reach Ryogen Industries. Take a right and head up the elevator to Taio Astring. Here, you'll find a starship showroom where you can explore their distinctive parts. Taio Astring offers a range of high-quality parts, with a clean and modern design. Though their cockpit bridges may look similar externally, their 2x1 passenger Habs have more stations, allowing for customization options. Check out their unique spines in the structural tab if you want to add some flair to your ship designs.

Pros:

• Distinctive design
• Customization options with 2x1 passenger Habs
• Unique spines for added visual interest

Cons:

• Cockpit bridges may lack visual variety

2. Hope Tech - Industrial Feel Parts for Hauling Goods

Next on the list is Hope Tech. To find their ship technician, head to the Val system, which is located near the Naron system. If you don't see Val, check Naron and it'll be there as a drop-down option. Once in the Val system, head to HopeTown on the planet Pavo. Speak to the ship technician right where you land or inside the building. Hope Tech offers parts with an industrial feel, perfect for those who want to haul goods in a big convoy. Their spines, in particular, provide a unique feature, allowing you to connect Habs together with pathways. This adds a new dimension to ship designs and sets Hope Tech apart from other manufacturers.

Pros:

• Industrial design aesthetic
• Spines for connecting Habs
• Unique design options for ship pathways

Cons:

• May not appeal to those seeking sleek or modern designs

3. Stoud - Next Level Tech Cockpits and Landing Gears

Now, let's take a look at Stoud. To find their Star Yard, head to the Naron system and locate it next to the clinic. Dock your ship and find Hava, who can be at the desk at the front or around the corner. Stoud offers a range of cockpits, each with its own distinct design. The Stoud bridge, in particular, stands out as a great choice for its unique design aspect, with the bridge placed on top. Though technically not a pilot's bridge, it adds visual interest to the ship. Stoud's landing gears also hide well under ships, giving a clean and sleek appearance. Overall, Stoud parts offer a modern look that blends well together.

Pros:

• Unique cockpit designs
• Sleek and hidden landing gears
• Modern aesthetic

Cons:

• Limited visual difference between standard cockpit and expensive bridge module

4. Deio Stary Yard - Modern Military Look Parts

Moving on, we have Deio Stary Yard. This vendor is located in the Soul system, orbiting the moon of Mars. To find Deio Stary Yard, head to the Titan moon of Saturn. Here, you'll find New Homestead, the prime place for Nova Galactic parts. Deio Stary Yard specializes in modern military look parts, supplying most of the combat vessels for the UC. Their parts prioritize functionality over form, but still offer aesthetically pleasing designs. The Aries bridge, in particular, stands out with its sexy design and numerous hard points. Deio Stary Yard is a great choice for those who appreciate a reliable and militaristic aesthetic.

Pros:

• Modern military look
• Aesthetically pleasing designs
• Aries bridge with excellent field of vision

Cons:

• Limited variety in terms of design styles

5. New Homestead - NASA Earthlike Feel Parts

Now, let's head back to New Homestead on the Titan moon of Saturn. This is the prime place for Nova Galactic parts. Nova Galactic offers parts with an earthlike feel, reminiscent of NASA designs. Upon entering their Lander, you'll be pushed to the top instead of straight ahead, saving space in your ship. What stands out about Nova Galactic is their superb cockpit design. They offer a specific bridge model that gives the best field of vision, with two levels and three nodes on each point. This allows for the creation of thick ships without the need for ladders. Nova Galactic also offers excellent all-purpose structure modules, with the cowling providing the best wing look in the game.

Pros:

• NASA earthlike design aesthetic
• Excellent cockpit design for field of vision
• All-purpose structure modules with unique cowling for wing look

Cons:

• Limited availability, restricted to Nova Galactic parts

6. Honorable Mentions - Shielded Cargo and Scan Jammers

Apart from the main vendors, there are a couple of honorable mentions worth considering. If you're interested in smuggling contraband into systems that scan you upon entry, you'll need shielded cargo and scan jammers. You can find these modules at the Crimson Fleet Sty Yard in the Cric system. Make sure you've been introduced to them via the UC Vanguard missions before visiting. Another option is the Red Mile in the Pora system, on the planet Pora 3. Both dealers offer a selection of parts from multiple manufacturers, including shielded cargo and scan jammers. However, they do not sell the expensive bridges.

7. Building Your Ship at Outpost

Finally, the best place to build your ship, or at least its skeleton, is at your outpost. By building a landing pad with a ship builder, you gain the ability to modify your ship from there. The outpost has all the dealer parts, except for the top-end bridges and some choice parts. My advice is to build out the outpost modules and create your dream ship. Once done, visit the special dealers mentioned earlier to see if any of their top-end parts can finish off your dream design.

Conclusion

To wrap things up, I've introduced you to the best locations for purchasing starship parts in Starfield. We explored vendors like Taio Astring, Hope Tech, Stoud, Deio Stary Yard, New Homestead, and Nova Galactic, each offering unique designs and features. Don't forget to consider the honorable mentions for shielded cargo and scan jammers. And when building your ship, make use of the outpost's ship builder to create and modify your dream design. I hope this guide helps you on your journey to building the perfect starship in Starfield. Happy exploring!
