Starfield Custom Nova Battleship Build Guide

I really enjoy building ships and since people asked, I am uploading some of the requested builds. Here is a build video for one of my newer ships, The Nova Battleship.

This ship was built with mods, and I have listed those below. In this build I show my preferred interior hab layout, but since the main section is concealed by the armor plating, you can re-arrange the interior to whatever you prefer.

Required Mods:
Cross Heavy Industries Model 3 Ship Modules - Free on Nexus Mods (PC) and the Bethesda Store - It is needed for the cosmetic wing engines and the weapon equipment plates on the underside of the ship. This is a must have mod for any serious ship building.

ASC Deimos - 400 Bethesda credits on their in game store - This is used for the armor plating on the ship and just doesn't look right without it. This is an amazing mod though, there are a ton of awesome parts for building ships, I highly recommend it.

Ship Builder Tolerance Tweaks - Free on Nexus Mods (PC), and there is an alternative on the Bethesda store called Ship Part Merging Enabled - To allow some parts to overlap with each other.

Bigger Ship Size - Free on Nexus Mods (PC) and "Ship Builder Configurator Presets - Big Ships" free on the Bethesda store. This is required in order to allow the ship front back length to go to 60m instead of the default 40m, and also allows more parts to be used on a ship. You can't make ships this big without this mod.
Optional Mods:
Avontech Shipyards - Free on Nexus Mods (PC) and the Bethesda store - I used the blocky cargo containers to fill in gaps and add storage to the interior of the ship. You can use an structure piece that is the same size to fill the space.

TN's Supplemental Reactors - Free on Nexus Mods (PC) and Bethesda store - I use it to be able to fully power all weapons. This is optional, and I feel balanced and fair, since the supplemental reactors are heavy, expensive, and reduce ship health.

TN's Expanded Cargo Hold - Free on Nexus Mods (PC) and Bethesda store - Just increases how much cargo ships have by 3 times since the default is too small and not fun. Not needed at all to build, but this makes it feel balanced and fun to me.

Unleveled Ship Parts - Free on Nexus Mods (PC) and free versions on Bethesda store - If you are not level 60 or higher some parts will not show to you. I recommend this mod just to not limit your builds.

Rich Outpost Shipbuilder - Free on Nexus Mods (PC) and alternatives on Bethesda store - Makes all ship parts available at your outpost landing pad so you don't have to fly all over to access all the parts from each ship vendor. - I don't remember if it is even needed for this build, but you should just know about it and get it.
