Buggo

[stoic current]

i would send a picture of my first 'vette, the Eternity's Rest, but i play on xbox and dont have access to that on my pc

[upbeat oracle]

being able to have parts overlap already make this better than starfields ship builder

[stoic current]

i wouldnt know, never played starfield

[slate cosmos]

LMAO they added my bug report / suggestion fucking A "Players can now manually summon their corvettes while aboard a freighter."

I helped guys, high five

i spammed that shit like 10 times

[stoic current]

wait hold on with the teleporst are you talking about like the freighter to corvette teleporters?

[upbeat oracle]

i still think corvettes need to be seperate from ur normal starships

[slate cosmos]

so before this patch, you couldnt fucking summon your corvette from within the freighter

which was fucked

[sacred thorn]

oh is that what my issue is currently 🤣

[slate cosmos]

cuz if you switched out of it, it would be gone from your freighter

like MIA until you go to a station

[dusk geode]

Ey folks for the new corvette expedition do yall recommend starting it in a new save file?

[glossy wyvern]

I still can't believe someone on here made a flying toaster

Lol

[jagged sigil]

Don't overwrite your main save

[slate cosmos]

omg another win for me "Fixed an issue that prevented corvettes from docking with some pirate and abandoned stations."

now I can live on my abandoned station base

[empty kraken]

did anyone make the corvette ship from alien earth yet

[dusk geode]

I also remember a glitch I had before the patch where I loaded in my save with my corvette docked with my freighter and somehow I used thruster fuel to take off even tho I was in space? lol

[slate cosmos]

lmao

"Fixed two specific corvette parts that would not stack / could not be spent after rotating." which part was this?

[winter stirrup]

Okay so clearly you did not fix this you lazy morons

[slate cosmos]

whats this

you spawned there?

[winter stirrup]

yes and continue to spawn here

[slate cosmos]

where is your cockpit

wtf

jesus I parked at a frigate and my corvette is almost as long as one LOL

[winter stirrup]

I have a very simple floor 1/3 floor plan. i got in the seat and got out to set an autosave point and reloaded and this is how im rewarded for supporting the frickin clowns

[coral pier]

Can you not break containers with ur ship anymore?

[winter stirrup]

They waste anymore of our time theyre gonna have change the name of the studio to Goodbye Games

[jagged sigil]

We got this update for free, chill

[tacit remnant]

that's what she sadi

[jagged sigil]

The devs deserve basic respect at least

[uneven mirage]

Left: The Paper Sun. Right: The Ziggy Stardust

[stoic current]

The paper sun looks like smth straight out of a star wars/star trek hybrid

i love it

[jagged sigil]

The Ziggy is giving me bird of prey vibes

Very cool

[slate cosmos]

i dont recommend trying to EVAC into your freighter

[tacit remnant]

docking witht the freighter with another player on board is totally broken atm

side benefit is you can kidnap people from the anomaly

[jaunty schooner]

I'm looking for ideas for spaceships that look robust and big like tanks

[tacit remnant]

so you win some you lose some

[jagged sigil]

Boy howdy do I have the thing

@warm crane

[stoic current]

a-wing?

[uneven mirage]

A few things I've noticed while building these: I REALLY hope the devs put the build camera back in for corvettes. Very difficult to detail without it. Also it would be nice to be able to swap out hab module styles without deleting the parts. And I love the ambassodor cockpit but hate that it clips down into any piece below it.

[stoic current]

oh

oh yea i see that now

[slate cosmos]

They should give us bigger wild asteroids we can build into

[jaunty schooner]

I need to ask she for help?

[jagged sigil]

Hold on

Let me find the pics

[nocturne elk]

Rate The Ship

[night wind]

Or walk and mine on

[jagged sigil]

This is Camilla's beast

[slate cosmos]

I think mag boots upgrade for that would work for asteroids

[uneven mirage]

that's a sweet little ship

[copper lintel]

Why does everyone’s corvettes look so good compared to mine 😭

[night wind]

I think I made it worse lol

[hollow jewel]

yeah thinking about using it as a fighter ship

[stoic current]

you should see my dance of souls bro its juts a flying saucer

[nocturne elk]

I'm sorry I need you to look at my ship

[nocturne elk]

^^^

[jagged sigil]

10/10 for verticality

[slate cosmos]

that docking placement bro lmao

[hollow jewel]

nice ship

[night wind]

It’s a mess

I love it

[copper lintel]

It’s a.. interesting shape

[dusk geode]

Same 😅 I just got my first corvette to look somewhat decent the past iterations were mostly whack lol

[night wind]

Thank you

[slate cosmos]

starfield has docking parts right?

[nocturne elk]

no man's sky randomly deleted the bottom of my prior corvette

so I made that

[stoic current]

if i can ill send an image of my corvette tmorrow

[uneven mirage]

Exactly what it looks like

[jaunty schooner]

This is sick

[jagged sigil]

It is!

They did a really really good job on it

[dusk geode]

Yoo thats cool im on the lookout for methods to make my shios less boxy

Whats that giant sheet part which the guns are sitting on?

[jaunty schooner]

I really like the big corvettes they are so cool and impressive

[uneven mirage]

I spent 3 hours the other night trying to make something and it just ended up looking like a stack of lego bricks with some boosters on it. I finally jumped on YouTube for some tutorials and got just enough tips to try some more. Ended up with something I really liked

[odd imp]

I think this is a bug, but for some reason, I am basically unable to close my corvette's titan landing bay, and it is almost always open when I fly in my ship, even though I know I closed it.

[stoic current]

also if someone wants my main corvette im willing to give it away for free, the Eternity's Rest was really just a test of my abilities and have a lot better i can do but i dont wanna just delete the thing

plus im more into building little runabout shuttle corvettes than big ones

[jaunty schooner]

Idk how looks but I want it

Lol

[stoic current]

if your good with it ill dm you a picture tomorrow, i cant get one today, my folks ar eall asleep

[jaunty schooner]

But now is not a method available for giving corvettes

I think

Idk

[night wind]

Its decorations I’ve used, specifically the flat panel

[stoic current]

i mean, sell and trade works, almost sold my Dance of Souls for someone elses corvette

[jaunty schooner]

Thanks bro I really appreciate

[stoic current]

yea no problem!

[upbeat oracle]

how do i place windows do i need make my corvette bigger

[stoic current]

so windows you should just be able to place it form the inside or outside, unless something like a hull piece or reactor or smth is blocking it, but i dont really know

[jaunty schooner]

When you craft the think you can put windows

[upbeat oracle]

this looks amazing

[slate cosmos]

thanks!

[upbeat oracle]

i wonder if anyone has made ships from star gate

[keen karma]

What cockpit is that? Dont recognise it for some reason

[stoic current]

also dor1txs, feel free to edit the eternity's rest as you want, i am aware it isnt the prettiest and the interior is entirely undeccorated

[upbeat oracle]

i thought of the xylem from ac6

[stoic current]

holy-

[upbeat oracle]

someone should make the xylem..

[slate cosmos]

This is what I seen most out of:

[worthy fossil]

so how do you put landing pads on corvettes?

[worthy fossil]

can’t you just do that with a normal ship

[upbeat oracle]

one of my favorite fictional ships n its from a fromsoftware game

[slate cosmos]

lmao, don't ask me Xd

I see it posted like every 30 minutes on reddit

[stoic current]

why does fromsoftware stuff always look so good

[upbeat oracle]

they just know

[worthy fossil]

thought this was nms then

[tacit mural]

same i looked at my dinner for one second and came back literally spitting out drink

[stoic current]

ok in all seriousness a freighter lookin like that in nms would be friggin amazing

[granite gale]

it's quite possbile, i restarted the expedition because i was only like 45 minutes in but apparently you can teleport to space station and completely rebuild the corvette and the refiner won't be there anymore

[tacit mural]

my poor keyboard......

[slate cosmos]

freighters are very low poly in our game

[upbeat oracle]

in lore its a literal flying city

[slate cosmos]

like no details, low poly giant things

[worthy fossil]

time to buy a vr headset

[worthy fossil]

i wish you could have done that with freighters

[upbeat oracle]

ive seen some crazy "city" builds on freighters but yeah ikwym

[slate cosmos]

do you guys think eventually they will let us build bigger than corvette

[tacit mural]

i dont have the specs to run in vr ive tried and am very sad

[worthy fossil]

with a 100 CL that uses what’s inside too, probably not

even decorating costs CL

and i cant even check my CL most times

[covert flare]

Yeah that downward nose is pretty frustrating to work with. The options to make that look actually nice are limited.

[stoic current]

ima grab a ginger ale and go to bed, @jaunty schooner if you dont mind remind me at about 6pm central us time tomorrow to send you that image cuz its highly likely ima forget

gnight everyone

[open tartan]

do you guys build your corvettes in creative?

[jagged sigil]

I do not, others have said they do

[uneven mirage]

I do

[calm bane]

Work in progress. Not going to be as epic as some i see here but this is my plan so far. Need another 2 Rockefeller wing propeller for the otherside. Up the very back instead of using the wing propeller I'm going to use 4 single Rockefeller propeller parts. Once my base is down I'll then deal with thruster placement and attempt to design the top of my corvette.

[slate cosmos]

does anyone know if its possible to find this structure besides a minor settlement (building with one pad) or not?

[warm crane]

repost of the ultimate car with every feature ever

[placid temple]

LOL that's so awesome

[upbeat oracle]

if u told me like 2 years ago this would be nms i would laugh in ur face

[warm crane]

the car has following

• save point
• first aid
• hazard protection
• settlement terminal
• planetary probe
• nutrient processor
• trade terminal
• 2 refiners
• antimatter reactor

[placid temple]

dudecan you show the inside thats awesome

[warm crane]

still wip interior btw, didn't have enough time to make it look actually pretty

[jaunty schooner]

Not problem bro, tomorrow I send you a dm

[placid temple]

you can have portable settlement admin terminals?? thats awesome

this vehicle is great

[safe kraken]

do wings effect maneuverability?

i'm struggling to figure out how to get 6/6 maneuverability modules for the expedition

[jaunty schooner]

This tank is so crazy and is fire

[safe kraken]

i only have 3/6 rn (my engines)

[nocturne elk]

If only complexity limit wasn't a thing (or higher)

this had so much potential

[warm crane]

I'm currently reworking my interior

above is the captain quarters and crew quarters

which are already the v2

[calm bane]

Once I finish getting the parts I need I need to work on the outer shelling of my ship too

[warm crane]

i mean no but the car is also missing a reactor and cannon but i don't really care lol

[nocturne elk]

This is the best one I have

[warm crane]

this games rules are optional for me

[placid temple]

wait howd you put a portal in there

does it work

[uneven mirage]

Kudos on the detailing. Without the build camera I'm finding detailing to be almost impossible

[nocturne elk]

How'd you put a door in there?

[warm crane]

beyond base building

[nocturne elk]

Ah

[warm crane]

yea it's even worse when I'm using very tight alignment and several building techs

[uneven mirage]

you have way more patience than me 😄

[warm crane]

a lot of the things in there took hours by themselves

[safe kraken]

am i the only one who thinks how you get the parts to build corvettes is absolutely atrocious

[severe cedar]

Eh now that I have a corvette I just fly around and use auot pilot to find them

[safe kraken]

elaborate

[severe cedar]

When u stand in ur corvette u can use the scanner, u can mark stuff and it shows up when u fly

[oak cliff]

is the cannon the only new part from the expedition?

[severe cedar]

Somebody made a vid about it

[sweet heron]

How to unlock more decoration parts like the chairs and stuff like that ? I only have the lamp and flag

[uneven mirage]

gotta buy the blueprints at the Anomoly

[jagged sigil]

I love this! Thanks for sharing more of your tank too

[green whale]

my game crashed while i was building my corvette :(

[jagged sigil]

How are you getting the trade terminal in there?

[sweet heron]

@uneven mirage There is vender for that or one of the old one ?

[jagged sigil]

Is it a buildable?

[warm crane]

save edit

[jagged sigil]

The old magic

[uneven mirage]

yeah there's a vendor that sells almost all the decorations. some I think are locked behind other things

[warm crane]

my game is save edited and modded to shit

[jagged sigil]

Aw I can't post the Anikin gif

Thats cool but

[warm crane]

i literally modified the mods which give you more freedoms to give even more freedoms it's hilarious

[sweet heron]

Ok thank, you i will check with the game when i got chance today

[warm crane]

and save edited in all the stuff u aren't meant to have access to

[uneven mirage]

have a good supply of salvaged data. they don't take credits or Visa on the Anomoly 🙂

[jagged sigil]

It certainly paid off because your builds (That I've seen so far) are pretty

[crude finch]

Is there a way to unlock from the grid while building corvette?

[jagged sigil]

I wish

[warm crane]

like wtf is this build menu (ik what each one of these is btw)

[crude finch]

also how does adding storage from habs/cargo decorations work? does that just increase the starting cargo or increase the maximum cargo?

[warm crane]

even my Corvette one had like 1.2x the base parta

[warm crane]

no, build on grid and use interior deco for a more custom shape

[jagged sigil]

You have access to cargo decor for the interior. It's the same as the freighter and base cargo modules.

We get 10

And they share inventory across ones with equal number

[tacit mural]

welp i figured out how to stack like 15 thrusters inside each other and now whenever i pulse jet i crash

[jagged sigil]

Madness

[crude finch]

oh there's interior decor that increases the ship storage slots separately from the cargo boxes??

[jagged sigil]

No, I meant the cargo boxes

😔

[crude finch]

ohhh

[jagged sigil]

To increase that cargo apparently we need to upgrade the inventory with the ship modules at the upgrade stations in space stations

I haven't figured out how to do it yet

[crude finch]

so if I wanted to have as many spaces as like... my sentinel, that I can access from outside the ship like I can with my sentinel, I'd need to have like a ton of habs and a giant ass corvette?

[jagged sigil]

Perhaps

From what I have seen we can do the usual upgrade stuff via the station terminals

But idk how to get the items for that

Adding more habs is a guaranteed way to get more cargo tho

[crude finch]

I mean, habs have +3 storage each, and the little cargo pods/capsules/spheres have +1

[jagged sigil]

Ah 🙁

[lofty seal]

if i add more reactors to my corvette can i add more thrusters cus right now if i add more thrusters it doesnt get better

[jagged sigil]

I was hoping the spheres had more

[calm bane]

Storage Augmentation. You get them by scrapping any A or better ships. Either standard or sentinel

[jagged sigil]

Thanks

[crude finch]

but regular ships have like.... 100+ storage spaces and are as small as like a 2x2 hab corvette 💀

[jagged sigil]

Have to be on that grind I guess

[crude finch]

do the habs/pods only add to starting cargo then? in which case if I just fully upgraded it even a 1hab corvette would have the same storage as an 80 hab corvette when fully upgraded?

[jagged sigil]

Likely

[calm bane]

I have bases at a few S class Sentinel ships I find. They respawn after awhile so I go back and re-obtain them just to scrap

It's a good way to build up storage Augmentation. You can unlock inventory with credit but it's extremely pricey the more inventory slots you have

[jagged sigil]

I'll have to remember this

[calm bane]

This is my shitty corvette. I'm in the process of building a better one. I use this to farm salvage scrap

[earnest dragon]

you can only have 3 parts of the same type before they stop giving you bonuses, same as procedurally generated upgrades

[lofty seal]

so i should js put the best ones on there

first

[earnest dragon]

im not sure if it picks the best 3 or the first 3, so yeah

[calm bane]

I didn't realise that putting on the high class reactors made them unremovable

[earnest dragon]

its a bug

[calm bane]

Hopefully they fix it

[jagged sigil]

Its fixed for PC

[warped warren]

Im guessing the ship on the voyagers update banner wasnt made in game? Its made of pieces we dont have

[jagged sigil]

I think it is a drawing

[earnest dragon]

it was made with the available parts

[calm bane]

Not that I'm too fussed on my current build. I'm getting rid of it once I build my new one

[earnest dragon]

if we are thinking of the same yellow one

[crude finch]

looks like it caps at 3 habs

[warped warren]

The orange one

[crude finch]

adding more aren't included in the tech slots and don't seem to be affecting cargo at all

[amber pollen]

Oh god. Do NOT try to autopilot to the station if you're already there

My ears are bleeding

[earnest dragon]

ah, no Im thinking of the one from the trailer

[uncut estuary]

gutting my vette of upgrades atm. these are very new and there's a lot of kinks that need to be ironed for sure. bit maddening when corvette tech randomly shuffles around and my maxed out stats get messed up

[winter stirrup]

THIS PLANET IS LOADED

[calm bane]

Happy hunting

[winter stirrup]

ive been for a couple hours and i havent gotten to single module without there being more in range

[calm bane]

I'm going back in now to get more parts. Need more propellers

[winter stirrup]

Go here for more parts than you can humanly handle. Trust.

[tame apex]

No

[crude finch]

adding a sphere actually DECREASED starting cargo since it overrode one of the 3 hab slots which I find... interesting

I'll check max cargo in a sec lol

[tame apex]

Eissentam is my native galaxy, I'ma head here today, thx

[calm bane]

Best of luck to everyone. Let's go get our building parts

[tame apex]

I think these planets need their own pinned post

[crude finch]

how do building part classes work? I can't actually see a class on them anywhere except in the tech screen after they're built, is there a way to get different classes of the same part?

[royal dagger]

can you change trails on corvettes or only starships?

[ocean forum]

has anyone had issues with ypur corvetes being orverwritten by someone elses ship

[jagged sigil]

Aaaaaa

[tame apex]

As far as I can see, no there isnt

[royal dagger]

yeah i fell out of the world getting into my ship because someone else was "in my seat" in their ship essentially

[winter stirrup]

This is typical here, I cant recommmend this planet enough

[tame apex]

Yeah send a bug report on that

[ocean forum]

i lost my ship 3 times

todayu

because it literally full carbon copys someone elses ship

[round quartz]

is there any way to get more than 3x10 Tech slots for the corvette?

[ocean forum]

yea add more augs

[tame apex]

3x10? That's smaller than mine, get augmented

[round quartz]

I tried augmenting but it doesnt let me, do I need to fill out cargo completely or something?

[tame apex]

Maybe

[round quartz]

Ill try that and come back here

[green whale]

what we thinkin

[dapper crater]

How do you go from your corvette to your freighter?

[earnest dragon]

land, then at your hatch there should be a button to beam in, just like when hovering above a surface

[green whale]

the button to the left of landing bay

[round quartz]

before it wouldnt let me add another row but now I can now. so problem solved lol

[crude finch]

looks like it uses components up to the limit determined by the number of objects away from the cockpit (not distance) very uhhh weird system

[golden bear]

Realy hope they change the way the corvettes fight. A turret style gunplay would be much more suitable, considering the corvettes can get pretty large. Doesnt make much sense they would be as agile as the small fighters

[tacit mural]

we need a multiplayer gunner room lmao

[golden bear]

This would be blasting aswell C:

[jagged sigil]

That would be sick

[crude finch]

more habs only gives starting cargo, not max it looks like

[jagged sigil]

Very cool

[crude finch]

corvettes just have exactly half the number of slots as regular ships then? (30 tech, 60 cargo, instead of 60 tech and 120 cargo?)

[earnest dragon]

you can upgrade it up to 60/120, I think its dependant on class

[tacit mural]

that is sick looking

[jagged sigil]

Ferrari vibes

Or maybe FM1

[crude finch]

oh I was so focused on the difference between the two corvettes with and without habs I forgot to raise class whoops

so extra habs is just starting slots that take up a tech slot it seems, which is... not great, but I guess they give you mroe room for interior stuff like interior storage so kind of a fair enough trade off

[covert totem]

is there a way to not lose all your interior when you are editing a corvette, i want to upgrade mine but i need to move my habs around and it seems to just delete (no refund) my internal modules like the refiner... am i crazy?

[undone jasper]

go into it and un build the stuff on the walls first

and then move the habs

should work?

[golden bear]

Anyone else unable to remove titan reactors once theyre placed?

[keen wasp]

Are you on steam

[golden bear]

Ps5.

[keen wasp]

Ah rip

It's a known bug that's been fixed in the experimental branch

But I don't know how to (or if you even can) access the experimental on console

[night wind]

Yup

[golden bear]

I see. Good to know its worked on 👌

[keen wasp]

Right now iirc the only thing you can do is scrap the edits though

as in start over editing from scratch

[dense quiver]

there's a mod that removes part limit

[golden bear]

Noted 🥲

[nocturne elk]

If the ship still flys in vanilla multiplayer im sold

[haughty shale]

They fixed my thunderbird bay problems! 🎉

Now to wait for it to release on PS4...

[undone jasper]

t-bird bay is goated

so cool to just elevator my way up into my ship

and can leave my back open for MORE THRUSTER\

[keen wasp]

you could put the bay in the middle of the ship maybe

by building habs around it

idk if it'll let you for sure tho

[undone jasper]

i just use the thunderbird one lol

[keen wasp]

the other types of bays I mean

[undone jasper]

it hasnt broken for me yet

i like elevator

[haughty shale]

I have thunderbird in the back, and titan up front

[undone jasper]

but ramp in the middle could be cool

[haughty shale]

Side landing bay would be nice

[undone jasper]

i do have a LOT of walkways

[keen wasp]

The thunderbird bay is cool but it's a bit more annoying to fly up into

at least imo

[haughty shale]

I just look up and activate the elevator 🤷‍♂️

[undone jasper]

^

no fly

if i have a cool elevator

imma use my cool elevator

[keen wasp]

i like leaving my landing bay open when I'm in atmo, different folks n all that

just personal pref :)

[haughty shale]

I've had a bit of collision issues so far, but they'll get there eventually with it

[golden bear]

I did that on mine. Works just fine.

[severe cedar]

I never land with corvette since it's beaming up is fixed

[keen wasp]

same i just helldive onto planets lol

saves so much fuel

[undone jasper]

having a cool little loading ramp open on the back i could sit on would be sick

[severe cedar]

Used thunderbird landing pad when it was broken

[undone jasper]

now imma have to edit things again man

there goes another 3 hours

[lament jewel]

What improves manoeuvrability on a Corvette?

[undone jasper]

ENGIN

[keen wasp]

technology and engines

[severe cedar]

Corvette will never be as fast and starships

[keen wasp]

maybe reactor indirectly (?)

[undone jasper]

never seen my corvette whip out of freelook

shit scares me with how hard it turns when i accidentally let go of alt

[severe cedar]

What does alt do

[keen wasp]

cockpit freelook

[undone jasper]

free look while flying

[severe cedar]

Oooh

[undone jasper]

i get lost in space and then let go and suddenly im turning as hard as possible

not a fun time usually

makes me motion sickl

[jagged sigil]

Should try that in VR 🥴

[undone jasper]

haha! no!

[keen wasp]

itd be more work than reasonable for hg but imagine if they actually made the buttons in the cockpit interactable

and you could control things through in-cockpit controls

[jagged sigil]

The levers are

[keen wasp]

i honestly didn't like nms in vr

[jagged sigil]

I like the visuals but I don't like the lever controls

[keen wasp]

game was beautiful but i couldnt get past the controls tbh

[jagged sigil]

Same

😔

[keen wasp]

between the uh. interesting VR HOTAS controls and the lack of smooth movement or turning

[undone jasper]

no vr will throw up all over my stuff

[lament jewel]

Cockpit and thrusters improve manoevrability.

[jovial socket]

just curious, how many corvette ship can i own and make?

[keen wasp]

so does technology

[haughty shale]

Friendly Reminder: Do not walk off the landing ramp while in Pulse Drive

[lament jewel]

As in mods?

[keen wasp]

yeah in the technology slots

[jagged sigil]

Oh no what happened

[lament jewel]

ok, makes sense, thanks!

[undone jasper]

this seems like a FAFO moment

[golden bear]

Do we want to know xD

[keen wasp]

one of the coolest things about the corvette is definitely the EVA

[keen wasp]

afaik you could never do that with normal starships, just freighters

if you could even do it with freighters, im actually not sure

[haughty shale]

Glad you can call the ship to you

Also, I tried to spacewalk into the space station, and wasn't able to, glad to see it turned out to be an actual feature

[keen wasp]

yeah my gf was playing and hadnt figured out calling her ship yet but got stranded lol

had to spacewalk into the station

it legit took her like 20 minutes to crawl over to it 💀

[haughty shale]

Hahaha

[golden bear]

Couldve been worse

"estimated time ...4 days" 🥲

[keen wasp]

I don't think she's figured out tritium yet so I'm just waiting for the "babe I can't use my pulse drive" 💀
in a system with no asteroid belt

[haughty shale]

Also, I had said spacewalk via walking through the wall of my ship

[keen wasp]

yknow, can you actually go to different systems without a pulse or hyperdrive?

[undone jasper]

probably not

eventually i feel like youd hit skybox

[keen wasp]

ah rip

[jagged sigil]

STL travel in this game would take a long time

[keen wasp]

a ridiculously long time

I'm honestly just curious if it's even (technically) possible

"Estimated time: 188715361367576135 years 🥀"

[jagged sigil]

I feel like it's not possible because each "system" feels like its own box

[keen wasp]

Probably not

[jagged sigil]

Cool thought though

[manic meteor]

crashed while messing with my ship build, that's fun. seemed to be one of the wings overlapping with the preview of one of the quarter-cylinder engine covers

[warm delta]

Has anyone built/seen any Voltron inspired builds?

[slate cosmos]

bro this game is so good I wish modding could be more friendly for programming

[supple hill]

I saw this cool van (and can't figure out where I initially saw it posted to ask there) but it looks like they have a teleporter and galactic terminal and stuff in there that I can't seem to make, are they modding for that or is there something I missed?

[warm delta]

I believe you can have a terminal in your base building parts, which you can place inside corvettes

[crude finch]

how do you place base building parts in the corvette?

[golden bear]

Looks pretty clean

[marble iris]

has anyone built a naval ship themed corvette

[keen wasp]

the USS "fuck you and your shields"

[marble iris]

where?

[keen wasp]

that was a joke

i do not know if someone has made that

[marble iris]

😔

[marble iris]

w name tho

ill try it. i played ftd and cant help myself

how do i make floors

[dense torrent]

uh why did a lot of the tech on my corvette just disappear? o.o

nvm just had to reload to a restore point yeesh that was scary haha

[golden bear]

What you mean?

[marble iris]

nvm i realized building internal stair way was it

i know it doesnt look like it but my goal is to naval ship in space

[short skiff]

Is it possible for a corvette built from scratch to be higher than C-class?

[dense quiver]

upgrade them in ship term

w/ nanites

[short skiff]

Ah

Thanks

[dense quiver]

^ no problem

[harsh bear]

What kinda naval ship?

[steep frigate]

Let us delete the Photon cannon please i need more tech slot

[marble iris]

a space battle ship

[marble iris]

fuckin beautiful mate

[harsh bear]

Oh no I been thinking about trying to make one like this

[short skiff]

That is really damn cool, might take a bit of inspiration from that

[harsh bear]

Go for it!! I need to go back to it, I stopped working on it due to the decorations causing issues but that supposedly is fixed now so I can go back in and change some things lol

[umbral bear]

do i supposed to have one even tho i installed two of these?

[dense quiver]

there are max amount of tech part

[umbral bear]

before tonight's patch i had two of em

[short skiff]

It's the flying dutchman

[solid bane]

My game keeps crashing while building corvettes and I have my base complexity set to the lowest setting I'm playing on steam deck btw is there anything I can do to fix this ???

[harsh bear]

I was really tryna go more for the black pearl tbh but I can’t get black sails so 😂

[waxen dome]

Looking at everyone’s builds I’m realizing mine is terrible lol

These are so cool

[short skiff]

Ah, I see the vision

[short skiff]

My corvette when compared to others looks terrible on the outside (mostly intended)

[waxen dome]

Wow

Mine looked cool until I looked on here

[golden bear]

Just go nuts with the wings and covers and such 👌

[short skiff]

Honestly, I am a big fan of terrible builds, because most people looked like they had fun making it

[waxen dome]

That’s so cool

Where did you get all the parts to get all that detail? Do you need to finish the exhibition or am I just missing something

[cedar heath]

Any corvette designers around that don't mind selling their work?

Obviously in game trade or currency

[short skiff]

You can get corvette parts via salvage containers on planets(most effective method), frigate missions, as well as derelict freighter engineering rooms.

[golden bear]

Think its time to look at an old fav game of mine for inspiration. Anyone here remembers "Freelancer"

[short skiff]

These parts can be traded at corvette building terminals for other parts in the case that you want one but dont have it

[cedar heath]

The trade scheme is so expensive, I dno how people are able to get that much parts

[waxen dome]

Oh yeah I think I went to the salvage containers but I just got rusty thingies? Am I supposed to do something with those?

[golden bear]

Tbh. Very shameless, i play on normal mode and just swapped crafting and trading to free, for the building part xD

[umbral bear]

is the max only one?

[short skiff]

Keep on looking for them

[waxen dome]

This is my corvette so far, it’s missing a lot of detail 🤔

[short skiff]

simplicity can be nice sometimes

[umbral bear]

sorry to ping u Khrows, but is this correct? ive installed 2 of each the tech, but it only shows one in the tech slot @short skiff

[short skiff]

Try saving and reloading

[umbral bear]

ok

[umbral bear]

aye it worked

thansk

[short skiff]

Saving and reloading is always my solution when something doesn't work right

[errant tulip]

Post your expedition corvette

[umbral bear]

fair enough, ill remember on doing that

[marble iris]

yo i found someones ship this is awsome

[proud vessel]

Anyone can help me to make this????

I want to make the lagunamov from ff8

[nocturne kindle]

Hey, I made a car

[unique frost]

That’s very nice

[golden bear]

This looks heavily modded,

[proud vessel]

🥺🥺🥺🥺

[feral swan]

Does installing the corvette storage units connect the inventory to freighter storage units?

[timber eagle]

my corvet on my primary save

[stiff wren]

New design

[golden bear]

That one looks huge

[tight agate]

Oh no, general clanker is coming

[timber eagle]

its 2 below the limit

well im kinda half clanker

[tight agate]

Half the man you used to be

[severe cedar]

I see that alot of ppl make very large ships

[golden bridge]

Mr.Krabs

[lethal hearth]

Say hello to my newest corvette in my manufacturing line, the yellow jacket now what may yall think this thing is about, exploring? Daily driving? NO this is the sentinel hunting absolutely hive mind destroying yellow jacket, its duel titan thrusters a twin jets allow it to fly at insanely fast speeds, its armed to the teeth with two you heard that right two quad photon arrays and a massive torpedo launcher making it have insane damage and insane speed its sure to wipe the floor with any sentinel or non sentinel force

[haughty goblet]

Still needs a little work... but happy with it!

[tiny pier]

Is this still possilbe to recreate?

[golden bear]

I kinda like the idea to build a series of astheticly cohesive ships 👀

Differend weight classes to it. Heavy, light, a gunship, a freighter, a cruiser and such

[haughty goblet]

Next week need cruisers 😆
Then freighter customization. 👀

[lethal hearth]

I got a few others but I think I’m gonna build a “wasp” gonna have a longer frame less weapons but more of a gunship kinda thing

[golden bear]

C: sounds fun

[lethal hearth]

Just wish we could have a frigate size ship that could dock multiple star ships and the ability to have a Minotaur stowed on the corvette

[golden bear]

Give it time. The update issnt even a week old

There is so much potential with this new system, they sure gonna add stuff

[lethal hearth]

I made a post on Reddit about being made I could build a byte beat box in my corvette next patch it’s fixed forgot how well the community and devs are about what the community wants

[calm oak]

did you ever find what the problem was? same thing happening to mine

[tight agate]

was some prop I used in my cargo hold

[calm oak]

oh

crap, could it possibly be the 6 wheels i've attached on the outside?

gonna try removing them and see if it stops happening

yep it was the wheels

[onyx geyser]

expedition capsule

[warm crane]

car

[calm oak]

truck

[short skiff]

Reminder not to warp in your corvette with things in the refineries

[tulip scaffold]

I love that style, how do you do the "eye"/sphere at center ?

[timber eagle]

radar dome and a black hole sign i think

[tulip scaffold]

Thank 👍

[timber eagle]

its a pin to get the size of the sign right but good luck

[tight agate]

flying away from my new capital ship

[wind badger]

Fairly happy with my ship. Some things I wish I could do, like rotate or flip parts that can't rotate/flip, but alas, much better than normal ships imo.

Just hope they fix the guns issue.

[tiny pier]

THE ESCORTS ARE READY

[real arch]

Bydo Kombiler

[vital wraith]

what in the transformers

[abstract crow]

When Optimus Prime gives the order to regroup on Earth but you're not even in the same galaxy.

[fierce dove]

The Daedalus

[abstract crow]

How does one actually make a pointed nose on corvettes? Like, is there a glitch to get two aerofoils to connect together?

[rocky ginkgo]

Whats the deal with random spinning while in space?

[rocky ginkgo]

What gun issue

[wind badger]

We can place "Unlimited" guns on our Corvettes, but ONLY 2 will Visually Fire Projectiles.

Can't have heavily armed gunships with like 6+ Photon Cannons (or any other types), and have them all fire at once.

[rocky ginkgo]

Yes 2 weapons fire and 4 thrusters max

[wind badger]

10 thruster/engines actually. Without mods.

[rocky ginkgo]

I would be happy with 2 weapons as long as different ones fire if you have them

[rocky ginkgo]

They are mixed together?

I only see 4 thrusters max, if i have 5 one isnt working

Visually

[mellow dew]

My Expedition abomination.

[distant harbor]

One thing I want the devs to add is player buildable landing pads for Corvettes for their bases

[wind badger]

Yea, sadly can't do that either.

The guns you place in the ship builder are pretty much entirely cosmetic. You could place only Photon Cannons, but Phase Beams, and the others, will still fire out of those "Photon Cannon" placements.

The actual guns you have are still determined by the Technology Modules in the ship inventory screen.

I wish I could at least place Photon Cannons, and Phase Beams on my ship, and have them properly cycle the proper weapon visually on my ship, but it does not work that way sadly.

[golden bear]

Id love the guns to be actual turrets 👀

[dim jasper]

Waiting for someone to do it lmao

[wind badger]

YES. Damn I wish we had proper Turrets.

Too much X4, and Rebel Galaxy has spoiled me with big guns and big weapons lol.

[golden bear]

In general ship fights could use a big overhaul. More differend weapons, and actual capital ship style guns. But nms issnt realy that type of game i guess.

[tiny pier]

anyone one knows why other booster not working?

[crude finch]

Think it's intentional or accidental that opening/closing one landing bay opens/closers the other?

[wind badger]

Odd. 10 is the default vanilla value. I have 12 engines all working, but I'm using mods to greatly extend build limits.

[hollow spoke]

I saw earlier that there is a "visual limit" of working elements, like guns and boosters. If you have too much of them, some won't work

[wind badger]

Yea.

[drowsy arrow]

Hi, I notice there are corvette modules available in derelict freighters. Are they special or rare ? Or are they the same modules we can find on planets ?

[tiny pier]

Hmmmmm what do i remove let me see, is combined for all?

[wind badger]

Blue fields are my custom values. The Green text are Default Vanilla values for PartFXLimits.

[hollow spoke]

For example, you have a limit of 4 working boosters, and 2 weapons. So, if you have 5 or more boosters, some won't have a visual working

[tiny pier]

I see it now

[hollow spoke]

Yes, but when not flying, some will be off, right ?

[tiny pier]

My mid booster stopped owkring too

[tiny pier]

even on flying some are still off

like my mid one

[hollow spoke]

Like said before, too much boosters i think, remove some of them, or keep in mind that they won't work and just be aesthetic

[rocky ginkgo]

not engines, THRUSTERS as in landing gear

[fierce dove]

Once u make a freighter can u remove it for parts

[tiny pier]

thinking to remove the rectangle ones

Im stupid

twin dynamo

is the clear choice

if remove em they wont even ruin the aesthetic

[hollow spoke]

I pretty agree with you on this one

[tiny pier]

should i put dynamo on the esscort?

[rocky ginkgo]

Btw i have this wings that also 1 of them is only working, atm i have 4 engines, 4 thrusters so it should be good

[hollow spoke]

Try, but i think it counts on the total boosters

[tiny pier]

replacing the curretnt ones

in the iamge

but i think dynamo too out

[hollow spoke]

Oh got it, my bad. Dynamo isn't my cup of tea honestly, i don't like their visual that much, prefer the Echo

[tiny pier]

why ya think?>

[hollow spoke]

Honestly ? Waaaay better

Looks really good

[tiny pier]

I think forward booster look way better

[dull ivy]

Where can i discuss bug reports that in the titan class living space, there's a gap that looks like window when it's supposed to be enclosed

[fierce dove]

?

[hollow spoke]

Need to clean my glasses, don't see any differences actually

[tiny pier]

all my tech dissapered

BRUH

[hollow spoke]

Aeordynamics

[tiny pier]

Do i reload or something?

[dull ivy]

Lmao

[tiny pier]

Reload save?

[hollow spoke]

Yup, try

[tiny pier]

Im glad i made a backup when my game first crashed 💀

[hollow spoke]

Actually a good idea, i don't do that and have regrets sometime

[tiny pier]

ITS ALL FUCKING JUMBLED UP

[hollow spoke]

Gooood, they are back ! * mixed up, but back

Excuse me, S class ?! GG...

[tiny pier]

should i?

[rocky ginkgo]

@hollow spoke This is still just a bug right? 4 engines , 4 thrusters i got all is good there but this thing just wont work

[hollow spoke]

Maybe try to reload or restart, the update is new, there might be some bugs to fix later

[hollow spoke]

Make it fly, my good sir

[tiny pier]

@hollow spoke small ones look good imho

@hollow spoke MIDDLE THRUSTER ONLINE

I REPEAT THE MIDDLE THRUSTER IS ONLINE

[hollow spoke]

YEEEAAAAH

[brisk shadow]

MORE THRUSTERS

MORE POWER

MAKE WARP SPEED YOUR NORMAL FLYING SPEED

[tiny pier]

second wing still unopreationals tho

[rocky ginkgo]

nah its just not working already reported it but probably was too late for this update, hopefully next

why does it work for you?

[golden bear]

Oof, no gifs on this server, sadge.

[neat flame]

i saw a guy with a full on pirate ship corvette, hella treasure planet vibes

i didnt manage to get a screenshot

[hollow spoke]

Maybe is it an issue with this kind of wing, @rocky ginkgo seems to have the same problem

[neat flame]

(i play on a laptop my apologies for the quality

i think the limit to engine trails is 10 which sucks

[brisk shadow]

hey me too! awesome corvette. kinda looks like the Tantive IV from star wars

[neat flame]

used it as the reference lol

[brisk shadow]

nice

we stand by our star wars fans

[hollow jewel]

Does anyone know if there is a limit on the amount of decorations we can use on that outside of the ship?

[dapper jewel]

by the way, if you're having trouble landing your corvette, just leave it floating slightly above the area you do wanna land at and just beam down instead.

[sour cave]

There isn’t one

[hollow jewel]

Perfect, thanks

[hollow spoke]

And you don't waste the thruster fuel, actually

[hollow jewel]

Gonna make a attempt at the Venator

[neat flame]

also add ur windows outside of the space station builder because they take up 1 of ur 100 pieces, but when placed using the base builder it kinda bypasses that restriction

[remote crypt]

They are base parts, there will be a limit of some sort. I'll try and find numbers

[brisk shadow]

greebling galore

[vital forge]

How do you all get so good ships, ik I just started but where do you even find them or how do I earn money to buy one 🙏😭

[sour cave]

I’ve seen so many venators makes me want one too

[hollow spoke]

You have some planets with collectible parts, which are useful to make your Corvette for free

[hollow jewel]

I’m gonna try and build me so that it as the blue ray shields on the inside

For the docking area

[neat flame]

venators are meh the cr90 corvettes are where its at

[hollow jewel]

Thanks for the tip

[neat flame]

im an advocate of the 11 engine monstrosity

[hollow spoke]

Anyway, guys, have a great day, and stay creative, NMS community is the best

[dapper jewel]

what is even with games suddenly making modular livable ships, first there's rimworld with it's grav ships, and then nms with the corvettes.

[hollow jewel]

Wondering if that limit restriction hits after you placed them and try to edit the ship

[neat flame]

yeah

it forces u to delete them

[hollow jewel]

Hmm okay noted

[golden bear]

I think its something that started with a rather disapointing spacegame. Starfield. They had this modular shipbuilder in their game.

Was one of the few good things this game had

[vernal walrus]

have any of yall made use of the kineostream thruster? it seems like an odd size and hard to work around. wip but im starting to learn how to make it look good

[neat flame]

Btw this is what happens when u have more than 10 engines

[arctic mesa]

That engine placement looks like the Tantive IV's engines placement lol

[hollow jewel]

Attempted a quick version of the interstellar ship

[arctic mesa]

yep, XD

was right

[neat flame]

dude thats so sick i want one now XD

[dapper jewel]

I only have.. like, 6 engine exhausts (technically just 4 engines) and yet I get more engine exhaust lines than that

[neat flame]

i might try making the space station for lols

[vital forge]

Peak 🔥

[neat flame]

I think its because of the dual thruster engines

[sour cave]

My newest addition

[dapper jewel]

dual thrusters just do that?

[hollow jewel]

I hope we get more round pieces and able to rotate certain other pieces as they are locked in front or back positions

[neat flame]

also the thunderbird landing gear or whatever also add the lines

[tiny pier]

Ok kewl

[neat flame]

yah thats one of my biggest gripes with it beside the limited number of pieces, im sure they'll add more in the future tho this seems like an incredibly popular feature

[dapper jewel]

ah, makes alot of sense, as I have like.. 4 at different levels of my ship so I can walk ontop of the smaller parts of the hull.

[hollow jewel]

I like that we can mesh parts together if you play around with it, was able to make some cool ships once I figured out the limitations on the build grid

[dapper jewel]

well two technically

the other two are at the front and back of the ship.

[neat flame]

u guys seen the vent half-block offset trick thingy?

[dapper jewel]

well near front and back.

[hollow jewel]

Yeah was using that

[neat flame]

it allowed me to position the engines on the tantive in that way

it was sick

[hollow jewel]

What I’ve done so far

[golden bear]

Bottom right gives me freelancer vibes

[vernal walrus]

howd you connect the wings on that last one?

[hollow jewel]

It’s the Sabre

[hollow jewel]

Decorations, took some time though with that

[golden bear]

👌

[daring heron]

it would be cool if corvette have auto turret, like it will shoot enemy behind you

[golden bear]

I wanted to tske a good look at the discovery freelancer wiki for some inspiration later. Im sure there is some nice ships for inspiration

[hollow jewel]

Yeah I was getting some requests for more Freelancer ships

[formal mountain]

Checked the pins but couldn't find an answer, can anyone tell me if parts location when building matters for bonuses or if I can just move things around in the tech slots without affecting the look of the ship? This thing is chonky

[golden bear]

The bountyhunter ships would be cool. But i think its hard to get that signature verticality of their ships right

[hollow jewel]

Yeah sadly

[tiny pier]

@hollow spoke FINALLY

[hollow jewel]

Wish we were able to do a bit more for that

[golden bear]

Ye. Would be nice.

But well, im sure time will bring more possibilities

[humble chasm]

yummy thrusters

[hollow jewel]

Yeah I figured in time they’ll add more parts and features for building

[golden bear]

"you cant miss my ship"

[hollow jewel]

They can’t hit me if they cant see me

[humble chasm]

lmao yes! I'm going to add another thruster behind the reactor because free will

[humble chasm]

The enemy, meanwhile...
"Hey, cap? Is the target that circular crab-thing with glowing golden trails?"

[hollow spoke]

Ooooooh sir, i love your ship

Have a great journey

[brittle carbon]

Which do you think looks better? Left (My first corvette) or right (My second corvette)?

[swift haven]

Is there an optimal method for bartering modules? Just buy expensive ones and trade would work I assume as a brute force method? Are there any modules you can't trade for but have to dig up?

[clear crater]

So how do you rate Corvettes folks? Is the kinda-flying base with 0-9 storages, mission desk and a refiner worth being a main ship?

I really like it from RP side, having an actual ship to call home instead of one-seater taxi, but I must say.. it is a bit unwieldy to fly corvettes. Though I hope 1-2 patches will smooth out stuff like "no big landing pads", autolanding having trouble with all the different designs or nto being able to recall it in a space station.

Still on the fence though about combat in corvettes. It is servicable, but feels.. sluggish?

[raven rover]

9.5/10

Love it

[clear crater]

Every time you change offer you can try again. I literally give 1 piece, if no -> add 2nd piece, if no.. maybe switch one of the pieces

I barter at 10-20% chances, because I offer only crap I dont want

[raven rover]

might be biased bcs i encountered very minimal bugs with it

While a lot of players even said its "unplayable"

[swift haven]

Can you keep clicking until they accept?

[raven rover]

Right all the way

[clear crater]

Didn't encounter that kind of bugs, but there are a few, some are funny (did you notice that warping makes the ramp open? :P)

[raven rover]

YEAH THATS FUNNY

[clear crater]

I think it grays out until you change offer?

[raven rover]

Looks like my ship is doing the uh

[warm crane]

@raven rover i made peak

[raven rover]

Gimme peak

Also GUYS

Give me a assymetrical ship design

Im thinking of making one

[formal mountain]

I like it for the mp aspect and the fun of building a ship this way instead of just popping together a few part options.

[raven rover]

Real

[warm crane]

this car has following

• save point
• first aid
• hazard protection
• settlement terminal
• planetary probe
• nutrient processor
• trade terminal
• 2 refiners
• antimatter reactor

[tardy sun]

I want to make more thrusters

[raven rover]

HAHAHHQHAHA

[formal mountain]

lol I love it

[clear crater]

I must say I do like corvettes, but I would rate them more 7.5/10 because how limited the construction tool is. It is kind of infuriating, I absolutely respect those mad lads who make big projects like this truck 😛

[warm crane]

good feature list?

[swift haven]

I bought a random corvette piece but can't trade it. So only some modules are tradeable?

[formal mountain]

Shocked I haven't seen anyone do the Space Balls ship yet

[fringe elm]

From planetside yeah

[raven rover]

Perfect

[fringe elm]

Salvaged parts

[raven rover]

im still very happy with how this one turned out

at least the silhouette is there

[swift haven]

Dang, was hoping I'd have a use for billions in credits by just buying expensive parts to trade, guess I'm gonna do a lot of salvaging then

[warm crane]

I'm still tryna find space to add a character customizer

[hollow jewel]

[formal mountain]

I'm used to the building limitations, it isn't perfect lol. I have screamed at a few bases XD I learned work arounds 🙂

[eager sky]

Just curious, how is it sluggish? Even before modding part limit, my 'Vette was about as agile as my fighter (700+ agility), despite being much bigger (4-5×)

[raven rover]

add another segment

😋

[formal mountain]

That looks fantastic

[tulip zealot]

It feels great to modify my big ship after the update now that I'm no longer teetering on the piece limit because i put a few decals on

[raven rover]

much thankss

[formal mountain]

I chose manuverability options on engines, mine doesn't feel sluggish

[warm crane]

the tank is my big project

[raven rover]

Based it of this and i did a very terrible job

So i just improvised

[tulip zealot]

Now if only they'd stop switching layers so i can have a company logo covered by graffiti

[formal mountain]

Not terrible at all lol

[raven rover]

Peak

[clear crater]

on paper stats show that, but dunno, for me it feels Hauler-nimble at best

[warm crane]

more outside angles cause pretti

[raven rover]

Maybe the back part is semi decent but the wing shape is very wonky

😭

Did not give it that b2 spirit bomber vibe

[eager sky]

Hmm, maybe I'm too used to Hauler fighting 😅

[formal mountain]

I like the shape but you can probably tweak it a bit to get more of what you''re after 🙂

[raven rover]

Yeah true

[warm crane]

my tank is lightly inspired by this

[raven rover]

my expedition ship looks like a mouse

[raven rover]

really sleek tank

[formal mountain]

Oof, mine doesn't feel hauler bad, maybe I got lucky. I wonder if shape affects it

[abstract crow]

Without the limitations on complexity and parts, I'm having a lot more fun and success with building these things. And now that I figured out how to make a proper bow with aerofoils, I going to try my hand at a star destroyer or something similar next.

[clear crater]

Im the almost minimal amount of parts (maxed out 3 of each plus some small decor to make it look not like a brick) so I dont think it is size. Though makes sense, if corvette would be best at everything that would make rest of the ships obsolete

[raven rover]

This swedish tank is also cool

[brisk dock]

do u get to keep ur corvette after the expedition is over?

[raven rover]

Shape is alr semi spaceship

[raven rover]

Yes you can transfer it over to the main save

If you started it from the main save

[eager sky]

Same. Looks a lot like mine. I like it

[raven rover]

If you made a new save...

Youre out of luck

[raven rover]

Looks hella sick bro

[eager sky]

I'm impressed you managed to make it even bigger than mine... While still retaining shape, that is

[raven rover]

Guys gimme some recomenndations on some assymetrical spaceships

For reference

[pseudo charm]

you know my only complaint about corvettes thus far is fiting them in the window when flying in third person heh

[raven rover]

Im thinking of making an assymetric one next

[swift haven]

How do you remove limitations, creative mode?

[pseudo charm]

Combat gets a bit tricky but heck. niiiice overall

[raven rover]

i just adjust my ship camera fov

[raven rover]

Turn on free crafting

[pseudo charm]

you can do that? or are you talking in photo mode?

[eager sky]

Or mod

[raven rover]

but, if you use a normal starship

very smol

[pseudo charm]

ah so changing the field of view then heh

[raven rover]

yeah

[pseudo charm]

Well Mitey smol. So that kinda fits 🙂

[raven rover]

[warm crane]

smol but more stuff than your bases

[abstract crow]

I'm actually using a mod, but I guess there's alternatives

[formal mountain]

creative doesn't remove parts limit, I tried

[raven rover]

oh yeah it does not

[abstract crow]

There is one major downside to my ship. 85% of the tech slots are habitats, and its all full.

[clear crater]

that is odd, only 3 habitats should show up in tech slots. Anything above 3 of the same thing is cosmetic

unless the game counts different habitats manufacturer as different thingies

[abstract crow]

I think it's because I'm way over the limit on parts. Built like 30 or so habs in that thing.

[formal mountain]

oh wow, yeah maybe lol

[abstract crow]

Could also be the no tech overload mod as well. Might be why we're limited to 3 slots each in vanilla.

[worn aspen]

I over built my ship, even with maxed out inventory I only get 5 free tech slots...

[clear crater]

Warning! Boundries Exceeded! initiate purge!

[abstract crow]

I wish the weapon systems could be rotated so they'd look more like turrets facing the sides.

[swift haven]

LOL. Gopijng on a salvage scrap mission, can't find anything but agressive sentinel plantes, go for it and the first container I fund is under the dig limit and inaccessable. Good start!

[fervent arrow]

is there a way to get normal base parts inside the corvette? or are we stuck with just the few things it says we can put inside?

[clear crater]

Pro tip: salvage with ship part usually is not deep and ship cannons do splash damage. I basically tag them from visor, get into pilot chair and blast them from the air

[raven rover]

Mods

[eager sky]

[swift haven]

Didn't knoww ship weapons could do that. Wouldn't help with this one that wwas burried deep underground but will try that, thanks

[abstract crow]

Mods are the only way. Not quite sure how to make it work properly, unless you build the absolute minimum corvette and place freighter parts from there.

[fervent arrow]

hmm okay all g

[worn aspen]

Theoretically do I really need 3 ceto class reactors or can I make up the shield bonus with tech slots mods?

[raven rover]

1 is enough

[eager sky]

I do think that's the case. It's not just the limit remover seeing as mine also only has 3 habs being effective

[flint obsidian]

I hope they add like a bunch of flat, textured, thin shaped panels that do nothing whatsoever other than add shape and texture to a craft.

I’m encountering parts in my build where I would love some trapezoid-shape and triangle-shaped panels just to break up the design from looking like a flat box

[formal mountain]

There's a pin in this channel that describes a non modded way to get around the item restriction? I think? I just glanced at it because I was looking for something else but for those that are interested, might be worth a look

[abstract crow]

I really want less cramped habitats.

[eager sky]

Ceto does 10-12%, tech does up to 30%, so if you want to optimise, use tech

[formal mountain]

right?

[eager sky]

That's for removing vital components like reactors and weapons

[formal mountain]

I hang out in space alot, just looking at it

[eager sky]

More greebles plox

[formal mountain]

Ah okay, it wasn't what I was after so I didn't read much into it. The reactors are kind of a pita to hide sometimes

[eager sky]

Yeah...

[clear crater]

Those fellas really cut it close. And as a bonus my most utilitarian design

[flint obsidian]

GREEBLES!

That is 110% what I am asking for. Forgot there was ever a word for that.

[pseudo charm]

She ain't big. but she mine. I gave up on the saucer part. theres another ship that has a lot moe to it.. but this is comfy 🙂

[vestal kelp]

I mean this is some weird AI image of a fake stealth bomber or smth, so I prefer yours.

[raven rover]

I had a suspicion it was ai

My friend gave it to me

Thaanks bro

[humble chasm]

made another mini corvette. i call this one "Circlejerk"
2 decks, 1 hab/walkway wide
still working on improving it tho

[flint obsidian]

Doors too. Never thought I’d miss them so much.

[gentle turtle]

Love it! I too try make small ones.

I wish we could change the facings of the landing bays/cockpits.

Cockpit with front facing landing bay door extending down? Yeeeeeeeeeeeee

[pseudo charm]

good lord how did you get the radar on the SIDES?

[eager sky]

You can flip them front/back

[raven rover]

Front facing landing bay is possible afaik

[humble chasm]

to make it rounder, i did actually put two landing bays at the bottom. sadly the cockpit is still frontfacing and i have no recourse for that

[humble chasm]

you can just plop it to the sides of habs and it'll reorient itself

[gentle turtle]

How?! I tried in creative mode and it wouldn't let me rotate either piece, not autosnap to the same side

Ahh

[pseudo charm]

hmm I will try that and see if it snaps.

[vestal kelp]

Took me around 3 seconds to find out.

Aviation primer is matte green, like on this unpainted F-35.
I think the AI plane showed is supposed to be a B21 raider but the construction is laughably bad

[raven rover]

Flip part horizontal

[gentle turtle]

I'll jump back on and try after my .... 10.5gb update 😭 lol

[raven rover]

lmaooo

[humble chasm]

this is my other mini-corvette. i call it "The Fly" because of how it looks. it's only one walkway

[humble chasm]

hope it works for you!

[gentle turtle]

That's awesome!! Definite fly vibes!

[neat flame]

chat there is a limited way to bypass the block restriction but it only works with windows

[humble chasm]

thank you! i'm glad the appearance fits the name 😄

[swift haven]

Yeeah that works a lot betteer. Any particular ship weapons wwork best? Pulse cannons seem to do well.

[eager sky]

What happens when you cross a Hauler with an Explorer

[humble chasm]

funnily enough i do use this as a hauler for my gek 😂

[clear crater]

what is that wheel part called? Is this original size (most parts are very limited, unsure anything can be resized tbh)

[gentle turtle]

Exphauler?

[clear crater]

I jsut used pulses

[eager sky]

Radar dome

[humble chasm]

radar something... in the third tab. it's purely for aesthetics

[clear crater]

thx

[vestal kelp]

I love it :) Looks like a flying beetle

[flint obsidian]

You get a flying big rig. Perfect for long hauls.

[neat flame]

original size cos nothing is sizeable in the ship builder

[humble chasm]

i will take this with pride. i adore these things

[eager sky]

I have never found one of those, btw. Had to trade to get my first RaDome

[humble chasm]

yeah. trading is your best bet with this. i never found it in the wild either. it's usually either of the scaffoldings at best

[flint obsidian]

I wish there was a starship trail like the Sputtering one, but fixed.

Just that combustion in the back, make it look like it is burning solid fuel

[golden cape]

The expedition made me build from scratch with limited modules (I also did not loot more than like 3 salvages, only traded) and I am quite happy with the result 😄 What do you guys think of it?

[remote crypt]

Nice build with limited parts, good job

[neat flame]

its very symmetrical lol when i did the expedition mine looked lopsided as hell

[compact flame]

Looks good 😃

[errant tulip]

I call it the Condor. Light corvette designed for inner-atmosphere salvage engagements.

Bird has a big butt though.

[errant tulip]

Our best work comes when we are limited.

[stiff wren]

So far

[crude finch]

I seem to have found the solution to people complaining about corvette components taking up so much tech space.... just have 2/3rds of your components randomly disappear despite being attached to your ship (I'm unsure if this is related to the glitch where I cannot build anything when modifying or creating a new corvette because everything registers as invalid)

[errant tulip]

Yeah I noticed that when I was trying to adjust a build. Lost all the module strength and didn't have the tech to make up the loss x.x

[craggy pewter]

I call her Patty

[severe cedar]

Try the torpedo weapons (idk the name)

U can destroy it in like 5 shits if ur luckly

[pliant falcon]

Hey, can anybody help me figure out a problem with 3rd person gun vfx?
I know the rule that the first 2 guns that you place are supposed to be the ones that will produce vfx when you fire but am experiencing some sort of bug
Am trying to make guns 1 and 2 be the ones that do vfx but no matter what I do it doesnt work, the game just always uses 1 and 3 for whatever reason, meanwhile if I place 3 and 4 first it works perfectly fine and they are the ones that produce vfx, but 1 and 2 will not work together no matter what I do

[fierce dove]

Amazing

[upbeat oracle]

ohhh waittt i figured out how windows work

[raven rover]

made this weird ass stacked design

might just scrap it but its funny lookin

[ionic pagoda]

That's pretty awesome!

[raven rover]

the plan was to make a vertical design that looked coherent

but now it just looks like 2 ships stacked on top of each other 😭

[golden cape]

Indeed, I could not say it better

[raven rover]

like deadass i could split it into 2 and get 2 decent looking ship

[raven rover]

thanks tho!

[bitter minnow]

https://youtu.be/UY0yYCg28GA?si=VnwDfQ9q2rhM5vKL

[raven rover]

this looks hella sick

[golden cape]

now thats a space galleon, not a corvette lol

looks sick

[raven rover]

Really cool bro

[neat flame]

Would it be possible to send another angle of this? I've been shamelessly trying to copy for a few minutes lol

[golden cape]

Wish we could save and share blueprints to grind for and build them as we explore

[bitter minnow]

lol yeah.. based it off the black pearl

[raven rover]

Yall got any ideas for a assymetrical build?

[neat flame]

that one star wars speeder

[raven rover]

Which one?

[neat flame]

On second thought its kinda meh

[raven rover]

Oh is it the uh

Salt speeder thing?

[neat flame]

the sequel one yeah

[raven rover]

Oh yeahh

[hollow jewel]

Sorry only have the 2 photos, at work rn can send it later but it’s kinda simple, cockpit - small hull - round launch door

[raven rover]

Hmm this could work with some improvisation

[tulip scaffold]

I love it 👍❤️

[hollow jewel]

What do you have so far

[raven rover]

Im trying to build a vertical asymetrical ship

[neat flame]

all g dw im just stuck at the reactor and engine placement

[raven rover]

Thaankss bro

[hollow jewel]

Oh there is a trick to that

[hollow jewel]

I saw a video for that

[neat flame]

ah ok ill try lookin

nvm ur the goat

[raven rover]

Man but vertical ships in this game is really not practical, i had to go up 5 flights of stair to just reach the cockpit

😭

[hollow jewel]

Yeah it was a sick trick helps with all builds to save pieces

[neat flame]

i wish u could place a personal tp inside them to beam up and down like in star trek but it would prolly implode the engine

[hollow jewel]

Spot on though, nice

[raven rover]

So real

[hollow jewel]

I was trying to get that to work but no luck

[raven rover]

So i dont have to walk up all the way

A vertical ladder would help, instead of the diagonal one that we have

[hollow jewel]

Yeah like that ones we have for the bases

[raven rover]

might just put the landing bay all the way up

Im jetpacking into it

Feels more convinient than having to walk up all the stairs

💀

[raven rover]

Yupp

[hollow jewel]

Hope they fix it so we can use TP, cause it would help with builds

[opaque elbow]

Does this look like the millennium falcon

[raven rover]

Not circular enough im afraid

[hollow jewel]

I see, that middle part on top of the hull could switch it with those 2 angled pieces and then add the top parts on nose, if you know what I mean

[eager trail]

World's smallest corvette

[raven rover]

Use the vesper diffuser for the front prongs

Looks decent

[hollow jewel]

Yeah saw that video on tiktok had to save it

[raven rover]

ive seen this one too

Over the build limit but ig you could steal some designs

[eager trail]

Why is the cockpit not between the two prongs
Is the real millennium falcon like that
That's so awful

[eager trail]

Oh my god

[raven rover]

[eager trail]

WHY

[sly sparrow]

I think the cockpit should be a bit further back

[eager trail]

George Lucas wtf

[raven rover]

you'd get cooked for saying this infront of a diehard starwars fan

[eager trail]

It just
It looks like the cockpit was almost an afterthought
Like they just tacked it on at the end

[raven rover]

Dude has some great designs but some... Lets just say its interesting...

[eager trail]

Why wouldn't you put it in between the two prongs, it's literally the perfect spot for it

[raven rover]

It does kinda feel out of place

But its too iconic atp

[sly sparrow]

Yeah it's unique but realistically it's not very smart

[hollow jewel]

If I may, small suggestion

[raven rover]

not mine tho

[hollow jewel]

Ah

[raven rover]

But yeah that would make it look better

[sly sparrow]

Yeah said the same

[eager trail]

Well now someone has to build a "correct" MF
