Guide to Installing ComSpike and Conduction Grid in Starfield

This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to acquire and install these essential modules, optimize your ship's performance, and gain an advantage in the game.

In Starfield, after completing the "Absolute Power" mission and returning to The Key, UC SysDef will launch an attack on The Key. To complete the "Eye of the Storm" mission, Delgado requires you to install the ComSpike and Conduction Grid modules on your ship. Since the game does not explicitly indicate the specific installation locations for these modules, the process may be confusing for some players. This article will provide you with a detailed installation guide.




Module Overview

  • ComSpike (High-Tech Decoder): This high-tech module is obtained from the UC Space Station SY-920. Its primary function is to quickly lock onto enemy ships during battles.

  • Conduction Grid (Conductive Grid): This module is acquired from the Neon Power Company and is specifically used to enhance energy distribution and boost shield recovery.

To install these modules, you need to go to a ship technician for modifications. On The Key, you can find Jasmine to assist with the installation.

Step 1: Speak with Jasmine

Locate Jasmine: Find Jasmine on The Key and speak with her, choosing the "View and Modify Your Ship" option.

Enter the Ship Builder: This will open the Starfield Ship Builder interface.


Step 2: Select Ship Components

Choose the "Build" Option: In the builder, move the cursor away from the ship, then select "Build."

Access the Equipment Page: Navigate to the equipment page, where you can find and select the ComSpike and Conduction Grid modules.

Step 3: Correctly Install the Modules

ComSpike Installation Location: According to in-game prompts and player experimentation, ComSpike should be installed near the cockpit and should be directly connected to it.

  • Example: Using the initial Starship Explorer from the Constellation faction, you can place ComSpike below the cockpit.


Conduction Grid Installation Location: The Conduction Grid needs to be installed at the highest point of the ship’s hull. This installation position ensures optimal energy distribution and enhances overall shield efficiency.

  • Example: For a small strike craft, you can install the Conduction Grid on the tail fin to ensure optimal performance.

Step 4: Confirm Installation

Check Module Connection: Ensure that the modules are correctly connected to the ship. When properly installed, they will be highlighted in green on the interface.

Test Flight: Test these modules during the mission to ensure the ship's performance is improved.


Experimentation and Testing

Testing with Different Ship Types

  1. Crimson Fleet Ghost

  • Before Installation: Prone to exploding halfway through flights.

  • After Installation: With modules installed, shield health is preserved, and the hull remains intact.

  1. UC Prison Transport Ship

  • Setup: The cockpit is at the highest point, with modules placed on top of the pylons. Although this ship lacks shields, it can reach its destination safely.

  1. Light Destroyer

  • Before Installation: Can barely make it due to high base health and shields.

  • After Installation: With modules installed, the ship can reach its destination without damage.


Modules' Effects Outside of the Mission

  • ComSpike Effects

  • Reduces enemy ship lock-on time by 25%.

  • Reduces weapon energy consumption by 20% while in lock-on mode.

  • Conduction Grid Effects

  • Reduces electromagnetic pulse weapon damage by 50%.

  • Increases shield recovery by 25%.


End of Mission Choices

At the end of the "Eye of the Storm" mission, you will face two choices: defend the UC or join the Crimson Fleet.

  • Choosing UC: You must clear out The Key, which results in the disappearance of merchants and technicians on the station, making it impossible to acquire these modules again.

  • Choosing the Crimson Fleet: You can continue to use these modules without issues.

Tips and Recommendations

  • Install Modules on Multiple Ships: Since you can install modules for free during the mission, it is recommended to equip them on multiple ships.

  • Module Retention Strategy: If you want to use these modules on other ships, ensure they are not deleted. Move the modules aside and reattach them when modifying the ship. Once deleted, other technicians cannot provide these modules.


By following these steps, you can effectively install the ComSpike and Conduction Grid modules in Starfield, enhancing your ship's performance during the "Eye of the Storm" mission. I hope this guide is helpful!
