How to persuade Frank Yilmaz in Starfield

Here are the dialogue choices you need to pick to persuade Frank Yilmaz in the Starfield Overdesigned quest:

• [Persuade] Yes. Now, let’s talk about what we can cut from your design, Frank.
• You’re a bright guy. Are you sure I can’t convince you?
• You seem reasonable. Let’s just think about this a bit more.
• I knew you were a reasonable person.

The available dialogue tends to shift every time you interact with Frank. You may need to reload your save a few times to get the right string to convince him. Additionally, RNG plays its part as does how many points you’ve put into the persuasion skill, so don’t hesitate to reload if the conversation isn’t going your way.

After convincing Frank, talk to Jules Degante to continue the Overdesigned quest. Your ship will be outfitted with sensors to test out some real world scenarios. You’ll need to take on a couple missions at the mission board to collect the necessary data.

Now you know how to get Frank to give up his ship design, learn how to convince Natan Ovadia in the Starfield Runaway quest and whether you should defend The Lodge or go to The Eye in the Starfield High Price to Pay quest.
