[raven rover]

This one actually looks cool

[eager trail]

Or MF mark 2

[sly sparrow]

Titan cockpit fits way better for the MF

[raven rover]

Its @/lejet's design

[ocean sequoia]

Does using less pieces like habs give you more equipment slots of upgrades?

[hollow jewel]

I like my Razor Crest

[raven rover]

Holy razor

[sly sparrow]

No the habs tech slot cap at 3

But parts like weapons

Landing pads

Etc

[raven rover]

Should i just cut off the top part?

[sly sparrow]

Occupy technology slots

So it's worth taking some off

[raven rover]

Makes it look unique but its a pain in the ass

[ocean sequoia]

Awesome, thanks!

[sly sparrow]

Np

[eager trail]

But you can't build a corvette even if you already have a weapon installed because it requires a weapon "array" too, doesn't it

[errant tulip]

I swear

[hollow jewel]

You could possibly lower it, with the decoration vent mesh trick

[errant tulip]

There should be an annual Millennium Falcon event because goddamn everyone and their dog makes one.

[raven rover]

Hmm ur right

[eager trail]

That and Helldivers ship

[raven rover]

Im thinking of scrapping it tho

Looks like ass to me

Not at all what i imagined it to be

[errant tulip]

MF for Christmas, Helldiver Ship for Thanksgiving.

[eager trail]

I've never had much appeal in making things look like existing things except maybe in color palette
I'd prefer to have my own, unique corvette

[raven rover]

yup

Maybe some references but in the end

[eager trail]

Also, the millennium falcon isn't a corvette it's a hauler with guns technically

[raven rover]

Ill just improvise on it

[eager trail]

The rocinante is a corvette

[hollow jewel]

I hope they eventually expand on the ship building

[raven rover]

this is so ass 😭

PLEASE VERTICAL LADDER HG

[errant tulip]

I kinda hope they add a few more "half pieces"

like "half length" or "Half width" stuff.

[eager trail]

I would love more 2x1 pieces
And also more square parts or endcap pieces

Half-width would do this

[errant tulip]

also please allow us to lay hull pieces horizontally.

I, for one, love making asymmetrical ships but a lot of it is harder to do because hull is always "forward" facing.

[simple jacinth]

i want the windows to better click into one another

[eager trail]

Oh if I could rotate habs and hull pieces horizontally

[neat flame]

that spot is used to push containers its like a forklift

[raven rover]

I WANT THE ROCKHOPPER WINGS TO BE FIXED

[errant tulip]

Can the rocket launcher actually support the Rocket Launcher weapon module? :v

[hollow jewel]

Could try to place a landing bay in the back middle

[errant tulip]

Like why does the rocket launcher fix/create/support cyclotron ballista?

[raven rover]

Yeah that would work

[errant tulip]

It's a rocket ;~;

[quiet vale]

How do you get access to the half grid/offset grid?

[thin nymph]

Any Advice for what I could add?

[raven rover]

Back there feels too uhhh

Empty ig

[errant tulip]

Make it longer and flatter

[neat flame]

use a ducting outlet on a hab and delete the hab, then put it back in but attach it to the ducting outlet

[raven rover]

Could add different cowlings to add detail

[thin nymph]

can't rly place anything anymore

[thin nymph]

reached the limit

[eager trail]

Part limit is stupid

150 or 200 please

[neat flame]

engine would go kabooey

[raven rover]

150 is ok, 200 i feel like anomaly is going to explodr

[errant tulip]

100 is fine if you build concicely

[raven rover]

Anomaly with 4 max size corvette is alr kinda laggy

Cant imagine 4x200 parts

[eager trail]

Corvettes just shouldn't be able to enter the anomaly IMO, for precisely that reason

[errant tulip]

glitch-building uses lots of small parts for alignment and smoothing effects but you honestly don't need it.

[hollow jewel]

150 I think is the sweet spot

[eager trail]

I would be more than happy never landing my corv in the anomaly because I understand it's a larger ship

[errant tulip]

https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Nightmare I'm sad the game won't let me make this

[raven rover]

bbbut the aura 😔

[eager trail]

That'd be like trying to land a freighter in a porthole

[hollow jewel]

Could try

[raven rover]

Vertical ships is a nightmare to enter/exit

[raven rover]

Unless you put the landing bay at the top

[hollow jewel]

Was able to attempt this

[errant tulip]

I tried to do verticality, and the game reaaaally had some strong words against it. It's just difficult to build "upwards"

[simple jacinth]

then again the corvette is advertised as a possible multiplayer ship and your friend could board from the anomaly

[neat flame]

biplane ahh

[raven rover]

Real

[eager trail]

Or just join your game using the preexisting steam option

[errant tulip]

mainly because of the naure and shape of hull. I only have so many hallways at the moment

[eager trail]

That's what I do

[raven rover]

[eager trail]

The only time I'd meet up with someone in the anomaly is to do nexus missions which I never do

[hollow jewel]

That angle looks like the needler from Halo

[simple jacinth]

all i want in the windows to clip toegether in a way that looks fluid they just kinda overlap one another

[vague vale]

A option to combine the hull so you can have larger room

[errant tulip]

https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Revenant
HELLO GAMES add more "organic" elements to ship building.

[raven rover]

The gun?

[hollow jewel]

Yeah

[still bolt]

Think you need more fibre in your diet lol

[vital wraith]

Corvette expidition is so buggy for me wow

[raven rover]

Lmao ur right

[raven rover]

This could be a banger ship design

[eager trail]

Personally I don't understand why corvettes can land in the anomaly to begin with
It's essentially a player base, and all the complexity that comes with that

[raven rover]

[errant tulip]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrXnI7_Lszs Please more organic shaped elements ;~;

[vital wraith]

just went into a space station with my corvette and the entire space station disappeared and soft locked me out so had to restart the game

[eager trail]

This is what I'm talking about

[prisma jewel]

maybe warping to it from close range like you do on a freighter.. but it kinda breaks the immersion of what the Anomaly is

[raven rover]

Real, we have the organic shaped cockpit but the rest of the parts is just not organic enough

[eager trail]

We need more sentinel-esque parts
My main ships are all interceptors

[raven rover]

Yeah

[eager trail]

I want to keep the theme

[hollow jewel]

I hope they give us the option to resize parts and not just decorations

[raven rover]

Id like a sentinel cockpit thing

[errant tulip]

Organic corvette DO IT

Organic SHIP, organic FRIGATES, organic CORVETTE, organic FREIGHTER

NOW

[raven rover]

my 2 corvette does alr look like sentinel-ish

[hollow jewel]

Someone should try and make PAC-Man

[raven rover]

3rd one...

[eager trail]

Actually, as an aside, I wish when interceptors landed their cockpit became opaque again with that "circuitry" design on the inside

Just to sit and enjoy the atmosphere of it

Only once they've fully touched down though

[raven rover]

@hollow jewel thanks, you just gave me an idea by saying it looks like the needler

[hollow jewel]

[raven rover]

I think i could make it kinda work

[hollow jewel]

Yeah already have it there

[eager trail]

Hey that said though

[hollow jewel]

Then angle some decorations for the needles at the top back

[eager trail]

We still have more parts than the build menu shows

I've got two greyed out parts in my inventory that are supposed to be connectable

To corvette hulls

So there's clearly more

[raven rover]

Like this design could actually work out

[eager trail]

They just can't be used right now

[raven rover]

Its vertical and its unique enough

[hollow jewel]

Yeah can do it

[raven rover]

[earnest hull]

The Cargo container thing? I got some of those

[lime spire]

Does anyone have a plasma core they’d be willing to give or trade?

[eager trail]

Yeaaa

[earnest hull]

I spent longer than I'd admit to trying to find it in the build menu

[eager trail]

There's more parts we can't use still

[raven rover]

Yeah

[hollow jewel]

For the small part connection try this

[raven rover]

What is that

Cant see it clearly

[hollow jewel]

Hull and under it is the air vent decoration 3 page

[fringe elm]

Has anyone here found a Coolant Distributor?

[lime spire]

Where do u get a plasma core from?

[fringe elm]

Been farming for 2 hours and none

[eager trail]

As soon as they let me take the photon cannon off I'm trashing it

Inferior weapon

[hollow jewel]

For connection both top and bottom of the gun

[raven rover]

Still dunno which part that is

[earnest hull]

I've had fun making a low-effort corvette for the expedition. I found the Ambassador cockpit when getting some salvageable scrap for one of the first milestones and designed the rest of the ship around that 😄

[raven rover]

Yeah the ingame part

[eager trail]

My new favorite strategy is to hit a ship with the cyclotron, then infraknife them to death
And I have the phase beam to also restore shields when necessary

[hollow jewel]

It’s the red top vents on the third page decorations

[raven rover]

these guys?

[hollow jewel]

Below that

[raven rover]

Ducting outlet?

[hollow jewel]

There should be 3 that look that same

Yeah that

[hollow jewel]

Middle one

[lime spire]

I’d be willing to trade for a plasma core

[lime spire]

I have that

[raven rover]

Ouhh yeah that could work

Thaankss

[hollow jewel]

[fringe elm]

Can anyone tell me where to get the Coolant Distributor?

[raven rover]

Can you not trade it?

Barter i mean

[fringe elm]

Not in barter. Been grinding for 2 hours

lol

[lime spire]

Same with the plasma core

[raven rover]

Oof thats sad

[fringe elm]

Cyclotron spam is easy tho l)

[raven rover]

Could just turn on free crafting if yall want

[fringe elm]

Unfortunately, I’ve locked it to normal ✌️

[raven rover]

Nono, the free crafting thing is not locked no?

Not change the whole diff

[hollow jewel]

In difficulty setting you can change it in normal

[raven rover]

Yeah

[fringe elm]

But then is screws up my save as ‘custom’ other then ‘normal’

[magic badger]

my new corvette

[daring heron]

im trying to put more hub, then i realize is just empty, no body decoration, its my first ship

[tulip scaffold]

I love your insect ship 👍

[hollow jewel]

You can revert it back but if you wanna to leave it as it is up to you

[raven rover]

Pro tip : dont build with habs

Use it just as the base

It makes your ship too blocky

[raven rover]

Looks siiickk

[fringe elm]

Just feel like free crafting ruins progress for me.

[hollow jewel]

Fair

[raven rover]

Yep it does

[fringe elm]

I wanna earn that endgame

[severe cedar]

Would u consider duping

Like u have only 1 part but need 2

[raven rover]

Id just put that 1 unobtainable thing and turn off free crafting

[severe cedar]

So u dupe it

[raven rover]

But thats just me

[fringe elm]

Already duped the hell out of expedition lmao

[severe cedar]

🫡

[eager trail]

Ngl taking a peek at this expeditions rewards was kind of a letdown

[raven rover]

Yeah

[earnest hull]

Thanks! Don't recommend it for the expedition though. The "legs" kept saying they were disconnected every time I edited it. 😅

[raven rover]

Trail is decent

Nothing special tbh

[eager trail]

Like, I'd care more if the companion system was more developed

But

Nothing to write home about

[worn aspen]

Would any of the following things be worth removing for the sake of extra tech slots: deflector shield, ion barrier, high energy shield, 2 medusa reactors, 3 zenith reactors.

[eager sky]

I have not found any of those in the several hours I've been scrapping. I've only found like 3 of that section

[eager trail]

I guess most of the effort was put into corvettes which is an acceptable trade off I guess

Companions just...
Aren't that useful

[daring heron]

how to get more ship furniture like portal, something like that

[raven rover]

portal aint possible

Its a mod

[eager trail]

Like, even the Sentinel and quad companion you get, they don't... Do much of anything

[raven rover]

Short range teleporter is possible but useless

Cant connect the wires

[raven rover]

just there for vibes

[hollow jewel]

Sadly

[tulip scaffold]

We can change it by landing gear, isn't ?

[daring heron]

where i download mod, its dont have steam workshop

[eager sky]

The shield boosters are meh at 7-12% as opposed to tech's 30%, so you could exchange them if you haven't already overcharged the module

[raven rover]

Nexus i guess

Nexusmods

[earnest hull]

They're a cosmetic part I added to the outside in base builder mode

[tulip scaffold]

Oh okay

[daring heron]

oh that site

[earnest hull]

I'd genuinely love it if they added big robotic insect legs as landing gear

[novel pollen]

i keep glitching out my ship when im in pulse jump in autopilot

[daring heron]

can i sell ship part? i want to sell hub and buy some body part

[worn aspen]

I intend to use the supercharged slots for other things so I think I'll ditch the shield gens. Thanks.

[eager sky]

Legs that fold out from underneath? Yes please!

[eager trail]

I've kind of managed to replicate this with the Thunderbird thrusters

Little insect stubbies

But I get the urge to want something more

[eager sky]

Peetsies

[neat flame]

sorry for bothering about the same thing again but how did you get the engine lines to come from the sides

[gentle flame]

I LOVE THESE THINGS

[orchid orchid]

any tips on how can i make signs to redirect me where i need to go? it's vo confusing without any

[hollow jewel]

Use the Ducting Outlet and hull trick to move it to a correct position

[eager trail]

Message modules, theoretically, but they can't be edited at the moment

[neat flame]

o7

[orchid orchid]

yep i just found out, a dude told me smt about signs but they aren't so seenable in the ship, unless i put pannels?

[eager sky]

Reminds me of Howl's Moving Castle

[hollow jewel]

Once you have that hull in place then place one ahead of it then remove the one behind it then place the booster

[daring heron]

corvette size can be different maybe thats why it cant land on landing pad, but teleporter beam seems useful, good for uneven terrain, like instead landing pad, it should be like teleporter pad, ship will align itself above it but not landing

[eager trail]

We can make our own landing pads though

Lining it up is hard but

It can be done

Teleporter pads would be great, actually

Beam me up scotty (he never says this)

[orchid orchid]

i luv mah Long cargo ship, i spent like 13m units for making it

[eager sky]

Interestingly, in one of my settlements there's a landing pad, and without fail the 'Vette is put there when fast travelling. Only, thing is, other ships don't appear to get that message and land on it as well, phasing through my 'Vette

[humble chasm]

build a second ramp at the back of your cockpit. it's what i did so I don't have to go through all three decks

[eager trail]

Customization could be vastly improved, not just in corvettes but across the game

[eager sky]

Or a ladder out to the top deck

[eager trail]

Being able to color salvaged ships however we want, as well as a color palette system more akin to warframe's, are on my wishlist

[humble chasm]

true. but with some fenaggling, a second entrance ramp can be (relatively) seamless too

[eager sky]

Custom(isable) Multitools?

[eager trail]

Yes please

[humble chasm]

that would be lovely

[eager trail]

God I'm so tired of having to use stock colors on whatever multitool I have

[frank gate]

Question how do you get better cockpits? So my ship isn’t always grade C

[humble chasm]

All of them start in C. you have to upgrade them with nanites

[eager trail]

There aren't any better cockpits, but you can upgrade your corvette the same way you do a regular ship

[eager sky]

Cockpits don't do that, you upgrade like any other ship with Nanites

[raven rover]

so 2 ramps?

[frank gate]

Oh you can upgrade them?

Sorry I’m just returning

[raven rover]

LETSGO IM BLUER NOW

Or purple

[humble chasm]

ye. gimme a bit. I'll show mine

[eager trail]

Indigo

[fierce dove]

My corvette raiding ship, the “Bloody Mary”

[humble chasm]

yep! they function like a normal starship (no need to apologize btw. this is how we all learn)

[eager sky]

Now get a blue Corvette with a blue little window

[raven rover]

im thinking of making this design

Ill probably just put the landing bay in the middle

[raven rover]

i alr have that

[eager sky]

Good

[raven rover]

This boyo

[eager sky]

Now you can dabadee dabadai

[raven rover]

Am blu dabadidabada

[hollow jewel]

Cockpit and landing bay

[raven rover]

Yeaaahh that would work

[clear crater]

I need some rest, because looking at that picture I see different things than the author. That part is called "the taint"

[gentle flame]

💀 thatts a long landing gear piston

[humble chasm]

this is doable

[raven rover]

Whut is that

[raven rover]

Yopp

[frail badger]

i've placed some things inside a corvette part and when I moved that part specifically, all the items inside it are gone, is it possible to get it back?

[raven rover]

And yet the landing bay cant extend anymore

[hollow jewel]

It gets deleted, if you put things in a hull then move it after

[clear crater]

happened to me too.. unsure if you get the materials back or not

but once you have your habs populated with stuff.. no touching

[raven rover]

this

[humble chasm]

anyway here's a couple of unconventional use of the landing bays. one is for silhouette purposes, the other is for practical reasons (but it also isn't overtly visible)

apologies for the weird lighting. the station is very dark

[raven rover]

ALWAYS do interior last

[raven rover]

OOOH

[tulip scaffold]

I love your spherical corvette, i think it's small inside ?

[humble chasm]

for the second one, i put that there so i don't have to keep going through the entire ship just to drive

[humble chasm]

yep! hold on i'll take internal pics of ciclejerk. it's not fully furnished yet unlike piratito (the big one)

[mint field]

they NEED to rework weapons on corvette class ships

[hollow jewel]

Gonna try to do a Venator and Malevolence

[harsh bear]

Newest one I stuffed together:
Doing the interior now lol

[golden bear]

Das pretty cool

[humble chasm]

circlejerk is my second mini corvette. the first one is even smaller. it's called the fly

[tulip scaffold]

It's side view or above view ?

[hollow jewel]

Side

He’s building the needler

[tulip scaffold]

I really love it, it's weird and cute 👍

[blissful pulsar]

is there a way to move a copy of corvette to another save?

[lime spire]

Trading large array of corvette parts for a plasma core

[mint field]

anyone else's landing bays keep opening

[clear crater]

this one looks super cool. I guess the drawback is that you wont get max modules?

[humble chasm]

thank you very much! everyone's been building large corvettes so i thought i'd take the opposite approach

[clear crater]

The YoYo

[fringe elm]

Small corvette brotha

Trying to make my 2nd corvette……..rotound

[hot jungle]

I upgraded my corvette ship grade, if I modify it in creative and remake it from the top down, will it still retain the same grade?

[mint field]

i would love to build a small corvette but number go up = yes

[humble chasm]

could you explain max modules? i'm not sure i follow

[humble chasm]

yess do it

[lime spire]

Anyone have a plasma core they’d could give/trade?

[clear crater]

modules are like upgrades in tech slots

[harsh bear]

The one I just posted is at 100 and it’s not even that big 😂 need bigger limit!

[fringe elm]

Ima name it MAXWELL Potato. ‘If you know ye know’ ;3

[tulip scaffold]

Okay, if you want, you can inspired you about xi'an ship on StarCitizen (concept bt Eddie Del Rio or Capital Xi'an Ship) 😉

[clear crater]

first 3 of the same kind (functional modules, like habs, reactors, guns) give bonuses just like tech upgrades

[humble chasm]

oooh. idk? it's pretty nicely sized for me at least. i won't need to upgrade anytime soon unless i'm specifically going for something

[hollow jewel]

Yeah got a couple of ships lined up that I’m trying to work on we’ll see

[tulip scaffold]

Yes, personally, i will make something the more organic possible

Like an insect or alien / living ship with weird forms

[humble chasm]

oooh

you might like the fly a bit, then. hold on

[upper tendon]

I think the ambassador tile set along with plenty of rounded glass helps with an organic look.

[tulip scaffold]

Yes i think too

[upper tendon]

The ambassador cockpit in particular looks like a bug head on the outside with its little attenas.

[tulip scaffold]

Yes and inside is good too

[humble chasm]

fly creature

it sent in the wrong order. i am so sorry

[neat flame]

its midnight and im still tryna build this stupid ship

i might be the stupid one

[upper tendon]

Very nice! Looks like a lady bug.

[clear crater]

This is a good example of the behavior - I have 6 engines for the purpose of cool, but the upgrades only show 3 of those

[humble chasm]

i'll take it! lady bugs are good bugs

[tulip scaffold]

It's very good, i like it !

[upper tendon]

I think the inside is the least obstructed view of any cockpit.

[humble chasm]

thank you! seeing it fly in space with its lil leggies always makes me giggle

[clear crater]

Im also not sure why the round reactor plugs into landing gear

that is some ork tech

[humble chasm]

that thing only has one walkway

[daring heron]

if they add part or hub, or interior stuff that can carry exocraft that would be great, like just beam teleport to the ground, thats would be amazing

[tulip scaffold]

Maybe i will build bigger corvette, maybe like the reclaimer in StarCitizen (for the shape, not the industrial style)

[clear crater]

where did you get the excessively luxurious bed from? Nice design of the bug!

[upper tendon]

Theoretically the corvettes should be able to get higher stats than normal ships due to the extra adjacency bonus of certain modules.

[tulip scaffold]

Maybe but i like this style 😄

[humble chasm]

ooh~ you could! very big builds are also cool since there's a lot things to think through

[upper tendon]

That's just how it looks when you add a bed to ad ambassador room.

[humble chasm]

that's the default bed for the ambassador habs/walkways. every hab has a different looking wall module to it. this one just so happens to look the most organic so it's what i picked

[clear crater]

daamn, ambasador has swag

[neat flame]

I wanna make this

star citizen herald

[earnest hull]

psa: The Ambassador cockpit can be a pain when flying towards the sun in 1st person. Thanks to reflections I couldn't see much at all.

[tulip scaffold]

i will see, because we have already capital ship for big ship 🤔

[humble chasm]

fr. ambassador stuff is super luxurious looking. thunderbird is cozy but ramshackled, and the titan is basically bootcamp material

[tulip scaffold]

Fun ship 👍😉

[clear crater]

I need to find those parts in the wild then

[humble chasm]

completely doable. i can already see how it could go

[clear crater]

All I found was more of the same for thunderbird.

[neat flame]

fr im just figuring out the room layout

[humble chasm]

true... but then again why not make it your personal one? the freighters are mostly shared so it's not yours yours, yanno?

[humble chasm]

if you'll allow me to suggest. you can do this a couple ways. either two decks, or just one. two can make it chunky at the back as you see at that screenshot which gives you more room to do interiors. or, you can also do just one but make the top not a hab

[clear crater]

yeah, the frighter is so generic inside.

I am spoiled with Starfield construction tool though, the amount of passages/corridors/rooms they had really helped nail down a perfect interior design

[humble chasm]

oh i looked it up. it's flatter than i thought it was lmao

[neat flame]

im still debating on the 2nd floor, playing around with the different parts to see if they can mesh well enough together

[worn aspen]

Can I furnish my corvette yet without it having a seizure after flying 4 metres?

[humble chasm]

yeah... i mean the construction area is really good but the rest is kinda meh

[humble chasm]

good luck on your endeavors!

[humble chasm]

ooh i just saw this? idk if it'll help

[neat flame]

ohh so the sides have that blocky thing too

[humble chasm]

you can furnish it any way that you want. the wild spinout seems to happen more often if you do sharp turns more than anything

[worn aspen]

Ah, so it's my stupid ass maneuvers that causes that, good to know.

[tulip scaffold]

Or maybe like that 🤔
For inspiration

[humble chasm]

seems liek it? i'm not sure. i'm sure you can play around more with it. just remember that using various references makes it way easier for you to get the look right. just like making art

[tulip scaffold]

I don't know, i stop the game years ago, and i will restart today after work

[humble chasm]

AUGH I WANT

i've been wanting to make a squid ship so bad. i might try and make the nautilus shell ship one of these days

[clear crater]

Thats cause of interiors? I thought I am hitting stuff and cant see it from 1st person 😄

[shrewd ledge]

I dont know if there good i Just wanted to try it out can i get some Ratings

[humble chasm]

it is possible but even my least furnished corvettes still do wild spinouts on occasion even when there's nothing in them.

[humble chasm]

tank

[slim herald]

My verson of Raider Class II, call it Corvus II

[shrewd ledge]

Which of the two do you mean

[clear crater]

damn this is slick

[tulip scaffold]

More inspiration 😉

[tulip scaffold]

Good luck for nautilus shell 😉

[humble chasm]

first one is a tank and i like it. the asymmetry is fun to look at. the second one reminds me of something but i can't quite put my finger onto it. either way, both look really good. one is blocky, the other is sleek

[prisma jewel]

maybe just tangently related to corvettes themselves, but I would love if the station/anomaly teleporters were color-coded

[humble chasm]

sdkfskj the flat one. i made one of them before in my first build. i physically cried over it before i scrapped it when i understood the system better. i do adore the bone looking one tho but i'm not sure how to pull that one off

[humble chasm]

definitely. i'll have to do a lot of drafts on it first

[tulip scaffold]

I think i will do a big ship with this shape small body for the ground with many landing gear and big body at top 😄

[fringe elm]

…restore point set. Pray this works 🙏 Corvette glitching

[humble chasm]

hey sorry do you think you can send the HD version of the stefan bordei nautilus ship?

[humble chasm]

wait i found it. thank you regardless. these are great references. i wish you well on this one. seems equally tricky

[humble chasm]

thank you~

[fringe elm]

Looks like some rotten testy…..

Jk jk

[tulip scaffold]

Yes tricky but i want it 😄

[humble chasm]

AUGH so pretty! who's the artist? also, what i'm not super sure about for this build and the nautilus is how to get the pointed tentacle thingies at the back

[fringe elm]

Tbh, those ships suit the robot ppl 😉

[worthy pumice]

Did the patch fix corvettes camera spinning glitch?

[fringe elm]

Nope 🤣

[tulip scaffold]

It's Alejandro Burdisio on threads

[humble chasm]

thank you. i'll look them up

[tulip scaffold]

Many weird ship in space 😄
My dream : living/organic corvette parts and a capital living freighter ship 🥲

[humble chasm]

totally agree. i've been slowly collecting organic freighters/space whales too. they're just so pretty

[azure edge]

Hey I saw some post or video about a corvette where this guy had parts that weren't attached to it and I forgot to save it, can anyone help me find that video?

[tulip scaffold]

Yep, i do too but corrupted save i all lost and quit game 😅🥲

[molten pasture]

how do you guys do this😔

[azure edge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/nms/comments/1n61rah/floating_parts_are_possible_in_corvette_ship/ FOUND THE POST

[tulip scaffold]

What do you call space whales ? The living fregates ? And we don't have organic freighters, isn't ?

[tulip scaffold]

Pretty cool !
A bug exploit ?

[humble chasm]

sorry i meant organic frigates. i mix them up a lot apologies. though i do hope for organic freighters in the future

[humble chasm]

a bug exploit. it's how i placed floating ion(?) shields on my fly corvette

you basically force the engine to think that there's still a connecting part even though you've already removed it

[tulip scaffold]

Me too

[azure edge]

I'm gonna try that and hope it doesn't break my ship - I'm gonna see if I can attach thrusters to there

[tulip scaffold]

Okay

[tulip scaffold]

What is this ? 2 corvettes ?

[humble chasm]

on some cases, you'll have to keep putting and removing parts until it becomes "valid"
(i.e. not red and see through anymore)

[humble chasm]

giving me megas XLR vibes somehow

[icy veldt]

nope, just 1

[icy veldt]

true xD

[chilly valve]

hold tf up , why are the dauntless devs doing sci-fi art

[humble chasm]

gotta swing both ways to see which one fits 🤷‍♂️

[chilly valve]

nah they just dropped the ball on dauntless and let it die ...now they're building a space game? sprints to google

[tulip scaffold]

It's a dauntless dev ? Maybe because he like that too 😄

[tulip scaffold]

Don't know sorry

[chilly valve]

well, if you guys like smooth - alien shapes , they are achievable

[tame oar]

Looks like a Batmobile

[tulip scaffold]

It's very good !

[chilly valve]

the side profile is a little less batmobile

[tame oar]

Now it looks like a covenant drop ship lol.

[tulip scaffold]

With this shape we can make a cuttlefish inspired ship

[chilly valve]

was going for covenant vibes

[tame oar]

It looks cool😀

[tulip scaffold]

Very cool

[chilly valve]

actual covenant ship

[tame oar]

Is the prophet in there?

[humble chasm]

love it my guy. keep at em

[tulip scaffold]

You have a good style of curve shape 👍 what do you use ?

[hollow jewel]

What are the silver pipes in the noses? Never seen those parts?

[icy veldt]

ty 🙂

[fringe elm]

It is DONE! My round (not round lol) mini van! BEHOLD ITS ROBUSTNESS!

[tulip scaffold]

🤣🤣🤣

[compact flame]

Gonna try to make the Anaconda from Elite Dangerous, but I guess you cant have the cockpit in the back ?

[tulip scaffold]

I like it, inspired by the terrapin of StarCitizen ?

[thorn ridge]

yay

[thorn ridge]

love it

[fringe elm]

Close enough lol. It’s meant to be a Autophage mobile home.

[thorn ridge]

covvie ship

:>

[fringe elm]

Why it’s rustic looking

[neat flame]

i followed the same tutorial just elongated it

[thorn ridge]

no credit i now hate you

[fringe elm]

Indeed

[fringe elm]

Never said it was mine ;v

[thorn ridge]

💔

[fringe elm]

[neat flame]

my bad bro i didnt mean to expose you

lmfao

[fringe elm]

Nah, the guy needs more views. Tbh, it’s legit

[bitter coral]

Man I wish I had the skills to build some of these corvettes 🙁

[fringe elm]

You;d be surprised how many are copying off YT 🤔

[thorn ridge]

bad at legos 💔

its ok

[fringe elm]

Man don’t talk legos. The forbidden 1pc.

[thorn ridge]

just build like adozzen in creative

1 will turn out ok

[bitter coral]

I'm awesome with Lego, hence why I have like 100 or so set 😄

[chilly valve]

silver pipes? zoom in and show me what you mean?

[chilly valve]

speedbird parts mostly , they are nice and round

[upper tendon]

For me the main concern is building a Corvette that both looks good but is also practical. It's a shame you have to physically go to any storage on your Corvette, instead of just being able to access it from your main ship menu instead.

[fringe elm]

Indeed

[chilly valve]

AH .. gleam told me im supposed to say its a modded part

[hollow jewel]

Ahhhhh

[chilly valve]

its coming off the naciels you see here on this covenant dropship

[tulip scaffold]

Thank 👍

[mighty dirge]

im quite confused why are there mre than 1 cargo rack to choose from even when they do the exact same thing?

[chilly valve]

they dont

each one is its own unique inventory

they're the same as your base storage containers

[fringe elm]

Ambassador Racks take less space imo

[earnest hull]

Each is a discrete inventory space.

[harsh yew]

so how does one begin to even get better corvette parts

[waxen rain]

Is there like evelators in the build menu or a way to go up or na?

[rugged compass]

Practice. I guarantee you you'll get better if you try, again and again. 👏🥳

Copy stuff you like others doing, and even if you fail, you'll pick up new tricks for next time.

[golden cape]

Why does this remind me of Star Citizen's Starlancer? 😂

[chilly valve]

because MISC is a cross between human and alien tech and they make smooth ships

[hybrid river]

There's stairs that you can place, so you can have multi level Corvettes

[fringe elm]

Those stairs are too skinny lol

[golden cape]

oh so you were inspired by it.. nice design!

[chilly valve]

no , i just understand why you're making that connection

[brisk shadow]

here is my corvette! thoughts and ides appreciated!

[fringe elm]

Lookin good ✌️

[brisk shadow]

-# holy cow that picture is blurry

[golden cape]

Ah alrighty

[chilly valve]

personally i like smoother ships but , honestly besides the paint job i have no notes

looks great

[fringe elm]

Smooth ships eh?

[chilly valve]

smooth

[raven rover]

smooth operator~

[fringe elm]

Smooth?

[chilly valve]

hnnnnghhh 🤤

11/10

[fringe elm]

Woohoo! Smoother the better!

[chilly valve]

the only ship i have that breaks from my "must be smooth" is my mini-frigate

[fringe elm]

Damn, I can even make out the pixels 😂

[tulip scaffold]

They are very clean 👍

[raven rover]

LMAOOOOO

THIS ACTUALLY LOOKS DECENT

[chilly valve]

woof thats hot

[lime spire]

ayo does anyone have a spare plasma core

[tulip scaffold]

I love it ❤️❤️

[tulip scaffold]

Do you have more pic ?

[fringe elm]

Rng lol

[fringe elm]

Not bad 👌

[lime spire]

i been farming it for hours and it's the last piece i need for my ship it's actually so annoying

[fringe elm]

Haha, I’ve been looking for coolant distributor

[fringe elm]

This in creative btw?

[languid sparrow]

Last one I will do for some time and this will be the one I will be flying often. Already did too many,

[fringe elm]

Eh, big is not always better ;3

[raven rover]

front still looks like shit

any ideas?

im almost at the build limit

[fringe elm]

Turn that into a mecha

[raven rover]

😭

[tulip scaffold]

It's beautiful ❤️❤️

[raven rover]

Thaaanksss

omegalol ramp placement

[fringe elm]

I just noticed the ramp 😮

[tulip scaffold]

🤣🤣🤣

[raven rover]

@deft bobcat @hollow jewellookie

[tulip scaffold]

It's easy ? 🤣

[raven rover]

Such a hassle to get in but its worthit

[hollow jewel]

Ohhhh that looks sooo sick dude

Nice job

[raven rover]

had a heart attack

😭

[hollow jewel]

lol miss type, yeah dude that’s a awesome ship

[raven rover]

Thaaanksss

[hollow jewel]

The boosters are in perfect places

[raven rover]

Happy with the booster placements too

But the front part

Still looks bad imo

[raven rover]

This

[hollow jewel]

You can probably remove the hulls there and put some kind of decorations cords from one of the pages to connect it to save usage slot and then the hulls connecting the side boosters could replace with wings

[lime spire]

Idk why some parts aren’t in the terminal

[raven rover]

aight this looks better

[hollow jewel]

Up to you but for these boosters I think you can move it over a small grid slide

Do the vent trick and should be good

[raven rover]

Its just 1 block, i cant

[hollow jewel]

Should be able to

[raven rover]

It wouldnt let me

[hollow jewel]

No the square boosters

You can do the mesh trick on them and move it more in a slight bit

[hollow jewel]

Yup

[raven rover]

😭 i dunno how

[chilly valve]

would love to see more of these , you guys should try internal cargo bays in your next builds 🙂

[hollow jewel]

I sec

[gentle flame]

damn

[raven rover]

damn indeed

[molten spoke]

is there a way to make decent looking and whole looking corvettes without glitch building?

[raven rover]

Lotsa way, i did all of mine without any glitches

[raven rover]

Daang looks siickk

[hollow jewel]

Place a small hull piece then place the ducting outlet behind it remove the hull piece then try to play a new haul piece next to the ducting outlet

[hollow jewel]

It will move it over to a slit bit a mesh it in

[raven rover]

by small hull piece u mean these?

[hollow jewel]

Anything

[molten spoke]

can i see the ship

[hollow jewel]

Will work same wway

[humble chasm]

that's hella nice

[tiny pier]

I got the jet escorts too

[humble chasm]

just trade for it

[raven rover]

like this?

[lime spire]

Not possible

[hollow jewel]

Is that still the booster?

[prisma matrix]

Last one reminds me of the ship Benny makes in the lego movie

[hollow jewel]

It will move it a slight bit yeah

[humble chasm]

huh. what does it look like? if it's a corvette part, it should be acquirable by trade at least

[raven rover]

its still in the same place 😭

wait i should just use these

[lime spire]

There are some parts that aren’t tradeable in the terminal, like the plasma core, so it seems there are rare pieces

[raven rover]

aw hell nah cant flip it

[harsh bear]

Thoughts on the open “engine” concept? 😂

[raven rover]

Real sick my guy

Mine is an open engine too

[raven rover]

This

[harsh bear]

Gotta let them colors glow! Those are dope!

[raven rover]

REALL

[harsh bear]

peep my double barrel skull 🤣

[raven rover]

Ceto class is actually so sick

[prisma matrix]

On the note of special module trading, do I need to get modules from buried salvage to trade with? I tried buying some basic ones to trade with yesterday and it didn’t let me offer them

[misty sparrow]

is it possible to glitchbuild a biodome on a corvette?

[harsh bear]

I think so, I bought like a dozen cockpits and it wouldn’t let me trade them. Thought I was bein smart

[molten spoke]

that's pretty good. building corvettes boggles my brain in the sense that i want something to make a certain shape so that my corvette can look consistent in structure, but then i struggle to find the parts and methods to build said certain structures in my corvette. usually im pretty good at building and creativity related things, the only thing that pisses me off is the learning how to fiddle with parts in order to make something work, instead of having built in versatile tools that make building flexible. like for example taking a part and moving it manually into a place, instead of having to have it snap into somewhere

[raven rover]

Understandable

I had a huge problem with the red one too

[harsh bear]

It’s definitely tedious lol I went into my creative save to fiddle with the building.

[raven rover]

I did A LOT of trial and error to get that shape

[hollow jewel]

It would be like this

[wraith lantern]

I hope that they add primatives that you can morph

[hollow jewel]

So it will move a grid over and blend into the middle part

[raven rover]

Yeah ive tried that, for some reason the part just wont snap into it

[wanton escarp]

I hope soon they allow you to copy a design

[hollow jewel]

Try using all main hallway pieces the small one

And then placing the booster next to it on right of it

[waxen rain]

Thanks sorry for late reply

[hollow jewel]

Should take

[raven rover]

Lemme record

[rotund bane]

Would be cool to make a “ship blueprint” item that you can give other players in the anomaly or something (or just have as a backup for a design)

[lime spire]

Yes you can’t trade basic modules u have to farm for the advanced ones

[wanton escarp]

It would allow people like me who has no creativity to see others

[harsh bear]

All kinds of inspiration in #nms-showcase-corvettes

[hollow jewel]

Yeah I would like that cause we only have a limited amount oh ship slots and we can’t store corvette ships

[raven rover]

Yeahhh

@hollow jewel

[harsh bear]

Do you mean store them in like a freighter?

[raven rover]

Yes

Corvette cant be freezed

😔

[harsh bear]

it’d be cool if we could build landing pads and store them at our base, kinda like a showcase lol

[prisma matrix]

Very good to know lol

[raven rover]

Real

[hollow jewel]

Yeah we can store them

[raven rover]

Or just being able to summon 2 corvettes at the same time

Summoning one removes the other

Big sad

[hollow jewel]

Then place main small pieces on the right of the streamlined trip cap you just placed

[harsh bear]

would be dope no doubt

[hollow jewel]

It should give you an option to place one next to it so that it’s a little off grid

[wanton escarp]

I would like the ability to copy designs

[raven rover]

i still cant place anything to it

[hollow jewel]

Then try from the outside in

I usually do it from outside then work my way in

[small fable]

is the corvette class good in combat?

[raven rover]

i got this to work

but still cant place anything

[uneven summit]

had this building Serenity the other day. sigh

[uneven summit]

anything's good in combat with a big enough gun

[raven rover]

slap an infraknife

[uneven summit]

that part

[elder fossil]

the first ship looks sick-

[hollow jewel]

Yeah you got the idea,

Try this

[raven rover]

Thaankss

[elder fossil]

np

[hollow jewel]

Then delete pieces

[small fable]

is there a limit to how many weapons you can put on it? im gonna put as many on as possible when i finally hop on and build a ship.

[hollow jewel]

Should work like this

[hidden anchor]

Anyone know a set of parts to make a good speedy ship? Like for traveling across a planet, i think the old ships of that type were called Explorers or something?

[distant harbor]

Hear me out. This would be a very interesting challenge. No man's sky but you can't build a base unless it's in your Corvette for the whole run

[raven rover]

this actually worked for this piece

but not the thruster

starting to think that the thruster is the problem here

[mighty dirge]

is the crew berth and medi-pod functional?

[raven rover]

Ive been doing that all of my playthrough

[raven rover]

Havent built a single base other than the tutorial one

[distant harbor]

What does your Corvette look like?

[hollow jewel]

So what you can do it place linkage on left of that then place booster

[raven rover]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

[hidden anchor]

Y'all are using bases? XD I've only been using my corvette

[raven rover]

holy fk

i got it

[hollow jewel]

Perfect

You can also move it down more

If you want

[summer star]

Yall fw this one?

I think that's before I edited it a little bit

[hollow jewel]

Can it would be on the same lvl

[raven rover]

it blocks the entryway

GG

[hollow jewel]

You can move it down

[orchid iron]

Am I the only one whose Corvette cockpit stubbornly shows the generated name instead of the name I gave it?
I tried removing and readding it, of course logging off/back on etc, and still it shows Skylark of Destruction instead of Plausible Deniability

[waxen rain]

Can u increase the modifacation limit?

[hollow jewel]

I got that too name didn’t change when you view the cockpit

[raven rover]

Yknow what... Ill just use another type of booster

[molten spoke]

wdym? you also had a crashout over the limitations?

[summer star]

I got "The Wings Of Infinity"

[hollow jewel]

Or that too

[raven rover]

Thankyou sm tho for the guidance

[hollow jewel]

But that trick you can use to mesh a lot together

[raven rover]

Defo be using it for another build

[uneven mirage]

I think this is fixed in the latest experimental patch

[ionic reef]

so I'm building my first corvette, and it's coming up as C class, is there any way to improve that before I claim it? or will I have to just upgrade and/or build a new one with all S class parts to get an S class, if parts' class dictate the overall ship class

[ember agate]

mines voidseeker lol

[distant harbor]

A few different angles of my Corvette

[hollow jewel]

Have to upgrade with nanites

[ionic reef]

alright, good to know, thanks

[raven rover]

Man i hate that thrusters cant be flipped

[ember agate]

the parts are all like "extra parts" for customization they are not a tier classs, you just upgrade it at the ship area.

[sleek thunder]

Any one else having a problem that when you teleport with a corvette it goes into ridiculous positions? My cockpit may or may not be in the ground.

[distant harbor]

It is quite annoying having to do multiple decks because I wish you could just have ladders instead of stairs

[hollow jewel]

Yeah sometimes need to mess around with it and then you can mesh it in

[waxen rain]

any way it increase the complextiy limit?

[ember agate]

my attempt at tryna make a milano from Guardians of the Galaxy ( with my own stuff, the hanger bay shouldnt be there) , didnt get the extra wing lenght right, so ended up just keeping that lenght, tried to make it as trianglualr as possible to the real deal.

[sleek thunder]

Nope.

[waxen rain]

damn

[sleek thunder]

Not as far as I know anyways.

[raven rover]

Some references for the milano

[ember agate]

yoooo yours looks so sick much better for sure

[raven rover]

Not mine

🙏

I got it from google

[ember agate]

ahh ic ic

[uneven mirage]

watched a vid on youtube last night where someone showed how to make the blue one

[ember agate]

yeah mine was 1st attempt when i finally got all the parts and this was last night like at 1am lol so i was tireddd

[abstract crow]

As great as some design tutorials are, I love just going crazy and building whatever is going through my head as I'm placing things down.

[ember agate]

how do u get all the decorations for interior ships??

[hollow jewel]

[uneven mirage]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06ersAv290A

looks pretty sick but i like the blue and red one more

[raven rover]

Yeah

[waxen rain]

how u build that?

[summer star]

Go into a black hole

[distant harbor]

I'm struggling to think of what I want to put in my Corvette as furnishings

[abstract crow]

A single chair.

[fickle bone]

and a Finglonger

[raven rover]

so happy with the silhouette on this one

defo needs some fine tuning but im happy

[ionic reef]

ok thanks

[abstract crow]

I'd have to finalize a design before doing interior design. And with how many designs I'm pumping out, it'll be a bit.

[ionic reef]

I'm pretty sure they can, there's a specific flip button that was shown to me in the tutorial mission for corvettes telling me to flip the thruster to allow it to be put on the other side

[distant harbor]

I do have five decks to furnish

[raven rover]

Flip vertically

Upside down

Not left to right

[ionic reef]

ohhhh

[uneven summit]

yup haha

[crude iris]

can you get around the complexity limit?

[uneven summit]

i wanted to try and make the bulge for serenity's tail

had to elect for a simpler design

turned out pretty faithful

[hollow jewel]

Dude that shot is sick

[raven rover]

Mods

Thaaankss

[uneven summit]

running the other direction on sight

no questions asked

[raven rover]

Wanted it to look like an eclipse type shi

[crude iris]

really?? theres no other way?

[raven rover]

Probably some glitches that im not aware of

But its just easier to mod tbh

[raven rover]

ominous

[worn aspen]

Finally finished my new corvette, Foxhound ST-84. Pretty much perfect, might never have to replace it.

[crude iris]

thats disappointing that theres a limit

[white jasper]

anyone have a fix for weapons shooting from/through the cockpit of corvette?

[raven rover]

100 is plenty to do cool stuff

[crude iris]

epic build

[jaunty schooner]

If I build a corvet in creative mode, could someone join my game and I give it to him using the sell and buy method?

[crude iris]

its 200

[fervent mist]

So I have a bunch of different parts I found on planets. I want to know what my corvette will look like with the parts together and before building it. I’m on ps5 btw. Is there anyway to do that or once you commit in the builder? Finish it?

[raven rover]

But cant deny 150 would be nice

[crude iris]

wait

it is 100

[raven rover]

Yes

[crude iris]

200 would be nice

[jaunty schooner]

???

[fervent mist]

Also is it better to have a pure ambassador or Titian/ambasador mix?

[raven rover]

Idk about this

[molten spoke]

will they even make new features?

[fervent mist]

I found multiple water planets but a purple volcano and snow planet is where I found a bunch of corvette parts

[raven rover]

Personally i just use 1 type of hab

[raven rover]

Probably down the line yeah

[molten spoke]

eventually...

[worn aspen]

I originally built it to be able to support pretty much all tech parts you could need, 1 of each shield gen, 3 ceto reactors, 2 medusa, 3 azimuth, 3 zenith, 10 storage spaces, 3 refiners, 3 living walls, you get the idea. So it has the space if I ever want to add or subtract any of that stuff.

[distant harbor]

I'm currently playing a custom game. It would be very nice if someone would join me because I'm lonely

[fervent mist]

I was thinking of doing pure ambassador since I can trade for certain parts. A weird titan ambassador monster mix/match might be different

[raven rover]

Wait u meant the parts not just the hab?

Parts defo mix

Dont just use 1 type

[crude iris]

would you be able to give me any tips for the outer layer of my build? im almost near the limit tho 😭

im kinda stuck and confused on how to build the outside

[fervent mist]

Yes I found lots of parts, landing gear, cab part, pilot part

When I called it a name than pilot part, discord warned me lol

[raven rover]

Cockpit?

[mighty dirge]

guys is the crew berth and the medi-pod functional?

[raven rover]

No

Decorative

[mighty dirge]

: (

[raven rover]

Wish it was functional

😔

[fervent mist]

Ok, so titan cab with ambassador pilot part, thrusters, and landing gear is cool? I was afraid mix match would be a disaster look wise

[jade jetty]

For all the builders out there I need to make this but idk how to😔

[rough dew]

Might have a function at some point, but beds aren’t so it’ll probably just be the medi bay for a restore like a wall unit

[severe cedar]

each time i log in again, my game decides to give me my worst ship as my mian one instead of my corvette

[fervent mist]

Yes!! Why when I wrote it, discord said watch my language and didn’t let the message get sent through

[worn aspen]

Man, I have complexity to spare, my build is only 85/100. And I don't really know how to give you tips, this is like the 3rd corvette I've ever built including my first ever one.

[raven rover]

Dont separate the word

[abstract crow]

Did you put a space?

[mighty dirge]

i have this place in my wing of my corvette and i wish i could lay down in that bed with the view of space

[raven rover]

So real

[mighty dirge]

would be nice if in the next update they are functional

[raven rover]

Yuppp

But i'd like the rockhopper wings be fixed first tbh

[sonic shale]

any graphics to make those angular windows not look so wierd when you look thru em? the bubble ones look fine.

[raven rover]

Idk why they just arent working as intended

[mighty dirge]

how?

[tulip zealot]

Rough attempt on the DHV Magellan

[raven rover]

If you put 4, 2 is dead

[severe cedar]

making my corvette S class is gonna taker sooo long

[mighty dirge]

oh

[mighty dirge]

how do you upgrade it's class?

[raven rover]

Might be because i have too much thrusters but that shouldnt be the case

[tulip zealot]

I wanted to put the industrial crane on the top but it's not in the corvette building menu for some reason

[raven rover]

Same as normal ship

[slate cosmos]

lmao what the fuck

[severe cedar]

like any other start ship in a space station

[sonic shale]

any stargate fans? I built a Daedalus cause the one i saw someone build wasn't fancy enough

[runic bluff]

If you have a lot of units, buy suspicious tech packages from outlaw vendors. Unpack them into unused tech modules and sell them for nanites. Indirect unit-to-nanite conversion (results vary)

[naive oracle]

Oh uh, is the corvette cache thingy still broken?

[raven rover]

No

[naive oracle]

Okay good. 🙂

That means I don't need an extra storage container anymore.

[severe cedar]

omg why is my tech scrambled again....

[worn aspen]

I don't really know how to articulate any form of tips for building, as again this was my 3rd ever corvette. But, I did strip one half of the ship of all non essential parts so you can kind of see the skeleton of the ship and get an idea of how I made the shape. The thing I found most useful was using the arcadian wing module to hide away a lot of the side view of the guts of the ship.

[crude iris]

it looks really good tho i dont really know how to build around my thrusters, but this helps so much thank you

[worn aspen]

Here's basically a cross section of the ship for additional reference.

[crude iris]

what are the end peices on the front?

[abstract crow]

Here's a good like at my thrusters for inspiration. Kinda following a jet's design

[magic badger]

Final version of my scorpion design

[naive oracle]

I now have two landing bays for my corvette. Why? Because it takes 10 secs for me to run to the other side of it. 😄

[worn aspen]

Supercruise cowling, one is just upside down.

[naive oracle]

Awesome!

[calm bane]

I did it. Finally built out my new corvette. It turned out larger than I planned. Not as flashy as the corvettes I see in here but for someone with no design skills really, I think I did quite well.

[raven rover]

looks cool! Just one thing (and this is purely my personal preference) you have too many hover engines

[magic badger]

thanks ! took a lot of time to get it done, it's 100/100 pieces

[raven rover]

Could change some of it for normal wings

[calm bane]

Yeah. But of an overkill now that I think about it. Might keep the 2 up the front sides and remove the back 2 and put normal wings on

[raven rover]

Yuppp

You can do a side rotated cowling as pseudo wings

[hoary galleon]

Trying to make this

And it’s so hard

[calm bane]

Just taking it for a test flight. Still need to do the interior. Can't even get up to the top level because I haven't installed stairs 😂

[hollow jewel]

I can see it’s possible just gotta work on a lot of meshing parts together

[stable shale]

anyone else can’t place anything at all, as in nothing will snap onto anything when editing the ship? it’s after i’ve put the deadeye cannon on

[crude iris]

@worn aspen this look good?

[real cosmos]

Did anyone here play the old Knights of the Old Republic games growing up?

[hollow jewel]

Go out of the console, then hit z and go to decorations you might have the setting enable to for unsnap

It’s like the P key

[real cosmos]

Did my best to recreate the Ebon Hawk - Still could use some work but I feel pretty happy with it

[crimson wigeon]

@hoary galleonyou could use the smaller vents for panneeels cause they glow red for the glowing parts

[hollow jewel]

Nice I figured someone would have done it

[bright path]

Nice

[crude iris]

for the sides i put the diffusers on the end of the wings

[hollow jewel]

Ohhhh that’s a smart idea

[worn aspen]

I can see how you hit the part limit so quickly. But yeah, it's looking pretty good, you have a clear shape being sculpted already. Though functionally you may find yourself limited due to the number of habs, you may have to weigh the pros and cons of either reducing the habs and reconstructing the shape with other pieces or trying to accomplish a simpler outside to keep the habs.

[crude iris]

yeah i think ill be okay with the limit, ive already removed a few habs but i was going for a larger ship design.

[pseudo charm]

I really gotta get off this Star Trek kick that I was on in trying to recreate an intrepid class. Ugh the saucer section and making it a LIVING space that you can walk through has just consumed so much time. I am hoping that the expedition will introduce more things and show how to do some fancy stuff!

[crude iris]

you can also extend them with the other piece

[tame idol]

guys what are these wires connecting the tires?

[pseudo charm]

Autophage hanging wires from base building

[tribal wharf]

My kingdom for an update in the future that allows for vertical builds.
Would love to re-create the First Light from Solo!

[ivory cobalt]

How would I make a corvette S class, and can you use augmentations on it?

[pseudo charm]

I feel ya. I want to be able to rotate the reactors. And heck rotate the Habs. Eh am I asking too much? Hehhe

[pseudo charm]

Go to the ship console on any station and upgrade there. Also can apply augments

[stable shale]

anyone know why half my guns aren’t shooting

[viral grove]

I believe there’s a max for how many can shoot

[dark juniper]

Personally only the first two of my guns fire

[stable shale]

makes sense

[dark juniper]

Despite three counting as technology

[stable shale]

i’ve got 3 on one side counting

shooting*

the others are just there

[pseudo charm]

Make sure you also have sufficient power for it too (reactor) and your upgrades so that they don’t overheat

[dark juniper]

Maybe delete them all, place the first two where you want it to fire from, then place the rest

[raven rover]

Yes only 2 shoots

[dark juniper]

You should only need one reactor, there is no power system thankfully

at least to my knowledge

[worn aspen]

Managed to make the cockpit look a bit more interesting.

[pseudo charm]

Doe that work? Because I put in the beams and still they kept firing from the front

[raven rover]

Yes theres no power thingy

Just 1 reactor works

[raven rover]

Siiickk

[dark juniper]

Well idk, my photon cannons won't fire out of my third weapon so I just assume it only cares about the first two

maybe for phase beam it's different

[stable shale]

i’ve got two photon cannons shooting and one laser shooting

[severe cedar]

my ship is liking to over shoot when i try to turn

[stable shale]

then 1 other photon cannons and one of the new ones not firing

[pseudo charm]

Mmm I put the photons and then the torpedos in different places.. and still fire from the same spot. So you might be right it might just care where the first weapons are placed or its locked to always fire from that front

The other thing I had to adjust was field of vision so I could see my whole ship. Some of those suckers are so big that they take up most of the screen!

Check it out @raven rover we’ve become spaceship engineers without even knowing it heheh

[raven rover]

HAHAHAH

mitey mitey look at ma new ship

[golden bear]

Do these look similar enough to be from a sort of "brand"? Question for the experts

[pseudo charm]

Ohhh my. And painted black. Thats some nice wing construction!

[bitter canyon]

Any suggestions for the front? not too sure how to place things, idk if i put my cockpit in img 2 or 3

[pseudo charm]

Whoops replied to wrong ship. THAT is nice wing construction Z!

[naive oracle]

I think for the most part you did it, but I think there's a little more you can do on the front end, particularly the left wing.

[pseudo charm]

First of all I gotta say that is SMART. It didn’t occur to me how to try an integrate that part! Nicely done

[raven rover]

thaankss

its actually green

😂 \

[real cosmos]

Yeah I agree - I haven'ty fully explored all the parts yet

[raven rover]

looks siickk

[naive oracle]

If it is, I wouldn't know. But I LIKE IT! 👍

[pseudo charm]

You’re welcome. I would share mine but I haven’t any pictures of it yet that are recent. I keep trying to update the saucer. || think Star Trek Voyager || Or at least thats what I am aiming for. The sucker is becoming so big tho

[raven rover]

beeg is cool

[naive oracle]

I do like it big. 🙂

[raven rover]

All of my 3 corvettes is at the build limit

[pseudo charm]

Heh, I haven’t even done the insides. Seeing you guys using texture and paint.. I am so far behind

[raven rover]

Or at least close

98-100

[golden bear]

👌 im trying to build a lil series of ships (of sorts) i want them to look similar enough to each other, to notice they kinda belong together in a way

[jaunty schooner]

Someone can help me to find the plasma core and the coolant distributor? They are not in the shop of the space station

[golden bear]

for a faction or an army or smth

[bitter canyon]

Thanks! tho ngl i have a bigger problem, im at max complexity already lol

[raven rover]

probably unobtainable or really really rare

[pseudo charm]

It’s like a catch 22. I am building so that you can move around inside the ship but also then trying to make the exterior look rounded. It’s been… challenging

[raven rover]

I personally havent gotten one too

[bitter canyon]

with no cockpit or guns

[raven rover]

From like 5hr of salvaging

[bitter canyon]

and the front isnt done yet

[golden bear]

🥰

[pseudo charm]

Heh I feel you there. It’s like tryin to find the balance of what size of ship did they really intend.

[raven rover]

Yeah making it look rounded is going to be hard

Not enough rounded pieces tbh

[pseudo charm]

Now I could be wrong. I mean.. don’t quote me here but I heard that there might be internal doors and stuff that are rewards from the expedition. Again I have NO confirmation

[bitter canyon]

especially with glitch building lol

tho suggestions for the cockpit idk what to do

lol

[raven rover]

Nop

Its just starship trail, jetpack trail

A pet mech mouse

And a corvette gun

Thats about it

[raven rover]

And its the shotgun

[pseudo charm]

Is the expedition out or did you datamine? 🙂

I would be quite surprised if its out already what with the bugs they are still fixing and a build on experimental

[swift mist]

I feel like they need a unifying feature. For example, like how certain car brands have a unique grill shape they put across all/most of their cars

[dark juniper]

The expedition has been available for over a day now

I believe

[pseudo charm]

It is?

[dark juniper]

#nms-announcements message

[naive oracle]

Mine's at 86, but I'm not sure what else to bolt onto this thing.

[pseudo charm]

Well damn. I had no idea

[bitter canyon]

? idk

[pseudo charm]

Ugh well that means I am gonna be puttin my building plans on hold and get in there and do it!

[raven rover]

Its out

And its super fast n easy
