Overdesigned Choice Guide Summary
・Successfully Persuading Jules Gets You the Kepler R Ship
  └ Failing results in you paying 100,000 Credits
・Successfully Persuading Frank Gets You the Kepler S Ship
  └ Failing results in getting the Kepler R Ship instead.

Persuading Jules Will Get You Kepler R Ship

Starfield - Overdesigned Persuade Jules for a Bigger Budget

If you manage to persuade Jules to go for the large budget, you'll get the Kepler R Ship at the end of the quest. However should you fail, you'll end up paying 100,000 Credits to fund the project.

Make sure to save before doing so. The Persuasion Skill and other items that grant this buff should come in handy.

How to Get the Kepler R Ship

Persuading Frank Will Get You Kepler S Ship

Successfully persuading Frank to go with a smaller budget will result in you receiving the Kepler S Ship instead of the Kepler R.

If you fail to persuade him, you're left with no choice but to convince Jules to pursue with the large budget and ultimately lose your chance of getting the Kepler S.

How to Get the Kepler S Ship

Should You Get Kepler R or S?

For those who wish to go for a high-end spacecraft and ride in style across the galaxy, they should go for the Kepler R as it's the better ship of the two.

However, if flying around space isn't your idea of fun, then the Kepler S is a decent ship just to get by different planets across the Star Systems.

I've seen heaps of guides say you need to do the high Price to Pay quest for this one but it's not true, at least, not in my experience. I'm on my 3rd playthrough now and it becomes available after All the money can buy quest which is much earlier in the chain.

I haven’t started high price to pay quest yet but completed this quests so i don’t think that is really a requirement
