[unique wing]

[faint citrus]

Dm me

Cause I ain’t doing it here. Wait

[summer pond]

I got 4 reactors installed for the log but its still saying 1/3

Nvm I just quit to menu and loaded back in

[digital hatch]

For my fellow 90s anime toonami kids..

[winter moss]

i am whole again

[carmine pilot]

Boom been working on this masterpiece.

[summer pond]

Guys

[carmine pilot]

Ok so is there a channel for pictures?

[nimble stirrup]

yes

#nms-showcase-corvettes

[digital hatch]

I apologize

[summer pond]

Still baller as hell tho

[violet edge]

Hi! Anyone has a dragon corvette design?

[summer pond]

What type of dragon?

[violet edge]

Any type of dragon

Just a dragon

[swift girder]

The Magic Dragon

[summer pond]

Your best bet is starting with a design similar to the Serenity from Firefly/Serenity

And then just extending the wings out with landing platforms for the feet

[bronze shoal]

hello lovely people

thanks laz

thanks guys

[summer pond]

[plain carbon]

Appreciate this. Plan to design one for a family member who plays and loves firefly

[summer pond]

Google, my dude

[plain carbon]

That was the original plan but you made my job easier

Tf-

[bronze shoal]

SORRY

WRONG COPY

[plain carbon]

Lmao

[bronze shoal]

that was meant to be a photo...

[summer pond]

Dang what'd I miss

[night dagger]

I wish there's more base building parts for corvette-class ships....
And also an actual sleepable crew berth.
...
I predict that the addition of sleepable crew berth would definitely kill Star Citizen for good.

[bronze shoal]

a copy and paste of a cook book

[plain carbon]

Xd misclicked and sent a dumpling recipe

[summer pond]

Gotta do the cookin by the book

[bronze shoal]

nuh uh

theres NO proof

[plain carbon]

You know you cant be lazy

[bronze shoal]

fr fr

[night dagger]

Just some more added parts to build in corvette, and Star Citizen is gonna crash and burn, I wager!

[summer pond]

Absolutely, I love that it changes style with the three hull types

[languid sparrow]

Needs more angled parts and actual wings

[summer pond]

But yeah, a little more utilisation parts would be good

Nah dont do that

[plain carbon]

Kinda wish wall modules didnt mess with the outside. The grey paneling messes with my corvettes design

[summer pond]

I wish corner cone pieces could be placed in the same hook, so you can make stabby spires

[trim crest]

I never played star citizen, why would sleepable star birth make that game crash n burn?

[summer pond]

Like the nose of the airwing from starfox

[summer pond]

They have sleepable berths/cots

[timber sage]

How do I find the corvette workshop?

[summer pond]

Any space-station, theres blue platforms that will teleport you to the corvette bay

From there you'll see a panel in the middle and another adjacent to that, the one in the middle facing the bay/landing pad let's you customise, buy/trade parts

The adjacent console is a storage unit for your parts, accessible across all stations

[rancid sedge]

And it has 160 slots

[summer pond]

Ye

[rancid sedge]

In 35 minutes of flying my corvette and shooting the ground at the salvage spots I accrued sooooo many parts

[summer pond]

Not as long for me

[elfin bough]

yall like my new stealth destroyer?

[summer pond]

#nms-showcase-corvettes

But also yes

[elfin bough]

i didnt see that lol

its all the way at the bottom for some reason

[summer pond]

Its cool, gunter will occasionally pop in with a reminder too

[trim crest]

I literally didnt even know that channel existed

[summer pond]

I wanna build Starkiller's ship from Force Unleashed soon

[rancid sedge]

Its sooo far done

[timber sage]

I see the ship fabricator and starship outfitter, but no blue teleport.

[narrow grove]

Ebon Hawk from kotor

[summer pond]

Wrong side

[narrow grove]

Nice

[livid crystal]

how much money should i gather before properly building my corvette

[summer pond]

Ebon Hawk was another thought I had

#nms-showcase-corvettes is where to show off your corvette »

[summer pond]

Def over 200m

But a lot of it can be gathered from Salvage planets

[livid crystal]

200 MILLION?? okay now how do i get this rich without cheats or creative, i got 60 million

[timber sage]

Found it,Thanks

[summer pond]

Sell contraband

[narrow grove]

Mine came out close enough to make me smile heh

[azure edge]

Absolutely not 200m

[livid crystal]

pirate stations never sell enough to get 200 million without taking hours lol

[summer pond]

Ssshhhh

[azure edge]

Start finding salvage from salvage planets, you only need like 5 million

5 million for stuff like a landing pad or a hab or something you might not get from the salvage

[narrow grove]

You can get a decent Corvette started for like 40 million imo

Or less

[livid crystal]

oh alright, i also did the expedition too but im honestly not sure how to design my corvette, not too creative with it

[summer pond]

Im tryna get more outlaws

[azure edge]

I've just spent like an hour or so getting scrap at first

Then the game bugged and I suddenly duped my materials

[narrow grove]

Frigate missions in the background while you do other stuff too

[livid crystal]

landing pad? you mean likek landing gear or can i land ships on my corvette

[summer pond]

But nah if you've finished the whole expo then just start a creative save

[timber sage]

If I store parts in the corvette storage at a station, will I be able to access it at any station?

[livid crystal]

dude i have 3 frigates and 2 are c class 😭

[summer pond]

Yuh

[azure edge]

Oh sorry- I meant the door thing that drops down, I always forget what it's called

[summer pond]

Ramp

[azure edge]

Then the game bugged again and the tech inventory spaces on my radiant pillar ship suddenly emulated that of my corvette.

[narrow grove]

Oh ....right probably don't have a full fleet yet sorry

[livid crystal]

nah its good, i just cant find good frigates lol, i swear the best ive found is a B class, i have a singular A class but i made this save a year ago and havent played since so i have no idea how i have it

[narrow grove]

Also you can find crashed ships ..claim em, then scrap em. Make a killing selling parts off

[summer pond]

I have the Normandy, whale and ghost ship frigates

[narrow grove]

Yeah, I got Normandy, ghost, and like five living frigates

Living frigates are cheap on fuel

[livid crystal]

are those expedition only?

[azure edge]

Radiant pillars don't usually have this many tech slots for free right?

[summer pond]

Easy S class the livings

[trim crest]

I dont really know how I should go about designing my corvette, I have an idea of what stats it should have but idk about how it should look

[elfin bough]

yall have any idea what i should do on the back of that rn its flat and looks terrible

[narrow grove]

I believe the item to summon living frigates might be expedition only but I can't exactly recall if they made that craftable or not

[summer pond]

Also side note, I want to be able to redeem my god damned expedition ships

[azure edge]

Right hold on does anyone have a pod racer tutorial in their back pocket? I need to make some floating pieces.

[livid crystal]

looked it up, you need to get super lucky with a frigate expedition reward

[summer pond]

Use the frame piece for the electricity

[azure edge]

Frame piece for the electricity, got it

[narrow grove]

Keep an eye out for that particular expedition number... They tend to bring them back around frequently

[azure edge]

.. what are those?

[livid crystal]

yeah i need to stop missing expeditions, ive probably missed like 5 of them in the time ive been playing

[summer pond]

Uuuh im not in game rn one sec

[narrow grove]

Yeah in the last 9 years I've missed quite a few but then when they ran that redo I think it was last year I knocked like five out

[azure edge]

Oh uh, do you remember how to unlock it?

[summer pond]

Light scaffold

[narrow grove]

I think I'm down to only missing like two or three expeditions finally lol

[azure edge]

Thanks

[buoyant fractal]

I need help, someone know if i can restart the complete new expedition?

[summer pond]

And use the titan heavy booster

[narrow grove]

Did you use your main save or start a fresh save for the expedition?

Actually, if you used your mainsave I believe you can go back into the Nexus and cancel it... If you used a fresh save just delete it and make another

[cursive lark]

This, if you can't make it to the Nexus you can return from the pause menu

[buoyant fractal]

i use my principal save, i did some phases, centinels kill me, i lost my loot, i don't know where but i lost the hyper turb upgarde

so, i think i could restart de entire expedition

but i dont know if i can do it

[narrow grove]

Try either recalling the Nexus, or going there through the pause menu and going to the kiosk and canceling the expedition

[prime robin]

hey, im trying to upgrade my corvettes tech slots but... it physically wont let me. is this a glitch or can you only have 3 lanes of tech slots?

[muted glacier]

Decided on a clunky workaround for a Corvette landing pad

[narrow grove]

Haha I like it

[summer pond]

Don't land, chews up launch fuel

[cursive lark]

Mine have to upgrade the class, each class lets you have more slots

[muted glacier]

Doesn't really matter at my stage

[summer pond]

Make a bullseye instead

Something to aim for when you fall

[narrow grove]

Good call, might need a class upgrade

[buoyant fractal]

where can i cancel it?

[cursive lark]

Return to main save

[muted glacier]

I got landing gear upgrades and the recharger tech, so I wouldn't have to worry about it

[summer pond]

Oh nice yeah no problem then

[narrow grove]

You have to actually fly into the Nexus to the NPC that does the expeditions I believe

[cosmic nebula]

guys, if I make a corvette in creative, is there a way to transfer the design to survival somehow

[summer pond]

Nope, you gotta remember it

[cosmic nebula]

guh

[narrow grove]

No blueprints or anything

[cosmic nebula]

i have awful memory, gonna be hell

[narrow grove]

Screen caps

[trim crest]

Take pictures

[narrow grove]

Multiple angles

[summer pond]

Record

[signal flare]

Cross sections

[narrow grove]

Oh yeah, just straight up record the build

[buoyant fractal]

In the main save I can only resume expedition

[signal flare]

Remove one half so you know inside and outside

[cosmic nebula]

and then ill record dismantling process and reverse the video

👍

[limber cedar]

Lol

[summer pond]

Hell yeah

[limber cedar]

Epic

[trim crest]

Is it possible to glitch parts so the ship looks like an orb or sphere?

[narrow grove]

Not your menu... You have to call the Nexus, fly into it, land, run over to the NPC that does the expeditions in between the big box and the guy who does the quicksilver

[dusty sigil]

Remember to take out any materials out of your Corvette's processors before you close the game, or teleport away from it, it will delete your items

[muted glacier]

That old bug again

[summer pond]

Aka CALL THE BIG BALL

[narrow grove]

Seems so

[summer pond]

Also yeah I had that happen too many times before I realised

Id be refining copper in my wall refinery and then warp to a new system

[narrow grove]

Processing 100,000 runaway mold ... Forget and warped to a different galaxy... Rage quit

[summer pond]

Go to colle- WHERE GONE

[dusty sigil]

at that poiint, i'd opena save editor to get that back Xp

[dusty sigil]

runaway mold is so annoying to farm

[narrow grove]

Yeah, forgot that trick lol

[summer pond]

Keeps running away

[dusty sigil]

its also stupidly rare on its own planets

with no way to actually farm it

[narrow grove]

Just use the terrain manipulator and create a little u-shaped barrier around the whole thing

[muted glacier]

It's on my list of things I just gather from damaged machinery and boxes and eventually deal with

[summer pond]

I remember going world to world on the nexus for mold farms lmao

[supple oriole]

anyone else have their ships stats change wildly just by picking up a part placing it the exact same spot?

[dusty sigil]

i hope they fix it soon, i've also lost a lot of resources

[narrow grove]

I've got six mold farms on one planet that I can just cycle through since each has a warp and bio generator

[summer pond]

coughdropcoordscough

Oh dang, my throat

[narrow grove]

Next time I'm there....you got it. I'll cap and post it

[dusty sigil]

is the corvette expidition worth it? i looked through the rewards and it looks like things i can already gather

[modest rapids]

Having a Corvette with everything on one floor is so nice

[buoyant fractal]

sorry but i can see the option, in the principal save a can only resume the expedition not cancel it

and in the expedition i can only return to the principal save

[summer pond]

Im a stack builder, flats are just so unappealing to me

[narrow grove]

Dude ...... Not the menu... Exit everything Hit the down button to open your little sub menu... Call the little sphere AKA the Nexus... Fly into it... Get out of your ship

[summer pond]

The big ball

With Artemis and Polo

[narrow grove]

Go into your game... Get in your ship... Call the Nexus

[muted glacier]

I have an interesting thing to try out later: a hatch that opens onto a "porch" on the ship

[narrow grove]

Interesting

[trim crest]

What kind of building glitches have people discovered for corvettes?

[modest rapids]

I have a larger one for everything but I like simple or efficient not really big as I prefer more decorations

[buoyant fractal]

im in the nexus already

in my main save

[narrow grove]

Some of the modules that you build on the wall will have their texture go through to the outer side and be visible

[muted glacier]

Stairs can make an opening to space in the top of a hab

[dusty sigil]

i wish Teleporters actually worked int he ship

[narrow grove]

Okay... Go down to where that giant cube is where you can get quests... Turn a little bit and look for an NPC where you started the expedition and talk to them again

[dusty sigil]

but you cannot place teleporter links at all in the Corvette

but i hate the stairs Xp

[narrow grove]

When you talk to that NPC, they should have the option to cancel or quit the expedition

[buoyant fractal]

the npc is that terminal, isnt it?

[narrow grove]

Yes, that

[summer pond]

I want to redeem my runner ffs store it in my frigate

[narrow grove]

Sorry... Not an NPC... A terminal but same thing

[summer pond]

Freighter, even

[buoyant fractal]

this is the only thing i can see if i talk with the terminal

resume the expedition

[narrow grove]

Ahhhhhh okay

Hmm

[chilly quarry]

what can I do to get better maneuverability? I am trying to make a fighter but I cant figure out what to add or remove to get better manuverability

[narrow grove]

That's why I never do expeditions on my main save. Hmm

[uncut estuary]

how's the ship? I need an opinion

[buoyant fractal]

xDD

[summer pond]

Same

[narrow grove]

Pretty dope

[muted glacier]

Class upgrades have the biggest effect, otherwise pulse drive upgrades

[summer pond]

Pod racer?

[chilly quarry]

ah ok, thanks a lot

[muted glacier]

That was on my list to try too, hah. Nice

[uncut estuary]

back view

[summer pond]

@azure edge

[narrow grove]

Nice

[muted glacier]

I know that one, but it was an npc with star wars names in the game

[buoyant fractal]

but If you want the rewards in your main game, how can you get them?

[summer pond]

The quicksilver guy

[narrow grove]

All rewards are unlocked for the entire account every save will have access

[orchid orchid]

my ship's bridge

[summer pond]

He has a "redeem expedition rewards" tab

[buoyant fractal]

ahh i didn't know that....

[summer pond]

Robot guy, third option

[narrow grove]

Yeah, you can redeem them with each save

[summer pond]

I always get my Atlas Staff at the start of every new expedition

[buoyant fractal]

so, if i do a new game, i can claim the rewards

[summer pond]

Yeah

[unique wing]

Can you own 2 corvettes but have only one equipped

[narrow grove]

Yes, unless that new game is starting an expedition in which case some things will be locked by the expedition progress

[summer pond]

Also anything purchased with quicksilver is account wide

[narrow grove]

But will unlock once the expedition steps are complete

[summer pond]

Like having normal ships

[wild wolf]

Yes

[narrow grove]

Yeah that hehe

[unique wing]

yay going to have a hauler and a spacehouse

[narrow grove]

Or like in some expeditions the Nexus will be locked until you pass a certain step... Usually leaving the planet or leaving the system

[summer pond]

I WANT ME SHIPS TO LOOK PRETTY IN MY PIRATE FREIGHTER

[buoyant fractal]

Ok i will do that then.. so sad, I certainly think they need that cancel button.

[narrow grove]

Sorry I couldn't help you more.. I didn't realize there wasn't a cancel button in there

[summer pond]

Anyway, bedtime, later taters

[narrow grove]

Laters

[summer pond]

Happy wxplo5

Exploring

[wild wolf]

You can have up to 12 ships, and 16 in archive (extra storage)

[azure edge]

How'd you get this?

[uncut estuary]

as in?

[unique wing]

how?

[azure edge]

How'd you make the pieces float?

[orchid orchid]

futuristic but, obsolete, your cockpit so vulnerable

[azure edge]

I've been trying a few things I've found online and they haven't been working

[narrow grove]

It's supposed to be like a pod racer from Star Wars... And a decent one

[uncut estuary]

I connected them beforehand with extra pieces, then went to the corvette station next to it, made a new corvette and moved the camera back to the other landing pad to delete the extra pieces needed to connect them

[narrow grove]

Lol

Genius

[azure edge]

Oooooohh...

[narrow grove]

10 out of 10 for creativity coming up with that

[uncut estuary]

in such a situation, you can delete all the bare minimum and only be left with a cockpit that can still fly

[narrow grove]

Hehe fascinating

[uncut estuary]

i.e. this (with a landing bay though)

[narrow grove]

Hahahahahahahahahaha omg

[azure edge]

This should work way better than making the game think it's attached by placing furniture on a piece

[narrow grove]

I just got a flashback to EvE online of my ship getting blown to shreds and my escape pod warping out

[atomic pond]

I finally finished building this

[azure edge]

Now to just make this thing not be fucking massive

[narrow grove]

Solid build

[azure edge]

I use the side things to hide my reactors

[atomic pond]

Thanks man getting the parts tho was a pain in the butt XD

[narrow grove]

I can tell lol

I myself also spent several hours grabbing all the scrap I could find

[atomic pond]

Now to just find a paradise planet...

[narrow grove]

Plenty of them out there... I've found several star systems with three Paradise planets

[narrow grove]

And hopefully a paradise planet with lots of scrap to get more Corvette parts

[atomic pond]

haha

Ive been trying to find other players to play with

[narrow grove]

I found a purple paradise planet with tons of scrap the other day

[atomic pond]

oh nice!

Lfg=looking for group

[atomic pond]

thx

[plain carbon]

Out of curiosity are corvettes able to fly with starships parked on them or no?

[narrow grove]

No

[plain carbon]

Havent tried doing that yet

Sadge

[narrow grove]

Earlier somebody was able to get a landing pad on top of their Corvette but their starship clipped right through it

[pulsar tapir]

Is there a way for your group to edit the interior of your corvette?

[plain carbon]

I have seen clips of ships landing right on them but they never took off after

[narrow grove]

The Corvette is treated like a normal starship just bigger so it kind of makes sense

[narrow grove]

I believe that falls under base editing rules which can be set I think in your multiplayer menu

But I have not tested it myself

[uncut estuary]

-# still looking for one with 5 again 😔

[narrow grove]

Shut up... You found one with five? Three is my max

[mild tendon]

Some Corvette parts have wrong names. For example the thunderbird hab and walk way has one interior, the thunderbird access elevator has interior from one of the other habs.

[uncut estuary]

a few. it was basically Corellia. some update hit and half of them turned to swamps and I've still been looking for a new home. I'll put pic in main channel

[narrow grove]

Noooooo what a bummer

[lusty ravine]

I give you Aether Aegis

[narrow grove]

I'm not sure my eyes even processed what I just saw lol

[lusty ravine]

Oh they did

[lusty ravine]

Thats one unit😄

[narrow grove]

Oh my God... It's like a mini fleet made of one Corvette... Bravo bravo

[lusty ravine]

Thank you thank you

Wanna see the other models?

[narrow grove]

May as well... Having a smoke break anyway lol

[narrow grove]

Damn son... This is some next level shipbuilding

[lusty ravine]

I really like my newest one

This thing gives me luxury cruise vibes

Luxury sky hotel

[narrow grove]

Hohoho, very nice. Little one in the middle has an escort

Go away gunter

[narrow grove]

Definitely has that vibe

I saw on YouTube that somebody made a decent razor crest from mandalorian

[lusty ravine]

Crazy that I started it as a little red ship with a single sentinel like escort

[narrow grove]

Heh yeah

[lusty ravine]

Ima go show it off in showcase so Gunter is happy

[livid crystal]

how do i get rid of my corvette lol, i hate it and want to make a new one but game wont let me scrap

[narrow grove]

Heh

[lusty ravine]

Its the same trading system when getting a new ship

[narrow grove]

You could always go into edit mode and just go nuts with the delete button

[livid crystal]

i deleted all of it, wont let me save that because it isnt working LOL

[wraith quiver]

trade it for a starship and scrap the starship

[lusty ravine]

This yes

[narrow grove]

Oh yeah, I bet this would work

[livid crystal]

i

ill try it

[narrow grove]

All right, a little more expedition progress before bed. Stay safe

[livid crystal]

apparently its worth 66 million wtf 😭 i need that money

[livid crystal]

uhm yeah this didnt work at all because i didnt get my parts, i want the parts

[wraith quiver]

oh. well. thats the only way to "delete" a corvette at the moment.

[livid crystal]

so i cant delete it, i cant have my parts, wtf am i meant to do?? i literally just want to not have this corvette but to take its parts, why does it have a curse of binding on me

[azure edge]

Now I finally have my floating gun modules

[wraith quiver]

if you wanted to "just not have the corvette" then what i said works fine

if you want to keep the parts thats not an option

scrap it and build something minimal

[livid crystal]

okay that very odd, i hope they add an option to keep the parts

[hollow island]

Remove the parts in customization, then trade it off

[wraith quiver]

and then youll have the rest of the parts.

just put whats required on a placeholder build

and keep your parts until youre ready to build on that placeholder

[viral crane]

Isn't a Corvette a car brand?

[livid crystal]

LOL

[wraith quiver]

excellent.

[hollow island]

Yes

[livid crystal]

oh i cant even do that, edamn

agghh okay can i atleast change its name..

[viral crane]

😔

[hollow island]

I really wish you could rotate modules sideways

[viral crane]

ORRR

I dunno

[subtle wolf]

Why is there still a bug where parts of the room corners glitch out and become transparent completely? Like.. non-existent?

Is this normal lol

[wraith quiver]

yeah thats still happening for me too but its still early for this big update imo im sure theyll get to it

[somber depot]

can a maxed corvette compete statwise with maxed regular starships? say a starborn runner?

hp and dmg mostly, im fine with maneuverability being worse for realism sake

[limber cedar]

Jd vance

[subtle wolf]

Anyways.. have a weird mix of the corellian CR90 and Hammerhead corvettes

[limber cedar]

Holy massive

[subtle wolf]

And still within the 100 parts limit..

Still tweaking it though

[limber cedar]

U got otger builds

?

[subtle wolf]

One other, that corvette in the back^

[livid crystal]

alright how the hell do i make my corvette look good LOL

[errant kelp]

My nephew accidentally deleted his by building another ship and I couldn’t get to it before it had a restore and auto save. Is there anyway to fix it without cross saves enabled? On Xbox

[subtle wolf]

Time, patience, and money.

[livid crystal]

i have the money and yet i cant buy any good parts

[limber cedar]

Got that storm trooper grey going on for all

[limber cedar]

Go creative, make it then go back to normal

[livid crystal]

im in creative for this, the shop has no parts

i mean no good parts

[limber cedar]

Bro wth are rhose canons on the wings

Eh

I donr have those

[pliant spade]

oh, well in creative you have access to all parts

[livid crystal]

oh, i just had the costs set to zero

good to know

[limber cedar]

Ye

But what are those weapons yo

[gentle turtle]

I threw one of the habitation units against that wall and it fixed it.

Nutrition unit i think it was

[craggy quiver]

I just made this maybe 3 or so hours ago and love it but would love some suggestions I can use to change it a little

That channel is impossible to find unless it's tagged in here tbf

I've tried finding it now and couldn't, until that bot tag lol

[livid crystal]

im not sure, i got it from the expedition

[limber cedar]

U in expedition mode?

[gentle turtle]

Someone might be able to build and trade one to you.

They become buildable once unlocked, 2 solar mirrors and something else

[limber cedar]

Time to play expedition ig

Ive been putting it odf lol

[livid crystal]

its nice, i only did it to get those guns

im not in it anymore

[limber cedar]

Nicee

U learn offset yet?

[gentle turtle]

Nothing of cinematic note, so just read the expedition steps and blow through them as quick as you can, set a challenge lol

Can get a large chunk done before you leave the first system

[limber cedar]

Sick, wanr ro check our the solar mirrors

[exotic pulsar]

I have all the core components but I can’t place ANYTHING to build it, I’m on ps5 and I’m new, anyone know how to fix?

[limber cedar]

Hhmm

Odd

Can u give more details

[pliant spade]

you can only get it from the expedition

[limber cedar]

Hhmmm

Ok

[river stream]

What do yall think?

[gentle turtle]

Gonna sound brutish but have you tried turning it off and on again?

Worked for my poor old dying Xbox 1 lol. Wouldn't let me place ANYTHING. Saved game, closed and reopened game, solved it

Looks like a sentinel ship!

[exotic pulsar]

Not yet no?

Is there a specific place or or something? And how do I take it out of free place mode or whatever?

[limber cedar]

Sick

Big ol mfka

[limber cedar]

The free roam mode is broken

Best not to use it, sorry dont knoe how to help

[exotic pulsar]

I’m not trying to use it, I just think it’s already activated when than make my first ship? I can’t place anything down 😭

[gentle turtle]

No I mean close your actual game off to desktop/dashboard

And freeplace? Not too sure? I didn't think corvette editing had free place mode

[river stream]

You know I wasn’t really going for it though now that I look at it it does. I was more going for a mix of a couple different ships

[gentle turtle]

That might be the bug throwing it off

[river stream]

Thx!

[exotic pulsar]

I’ll try thanks

Didn’t work, am I missing a component or do I have to place something first?

[rapid skiff]

anyone else notice that the expedition corvette reward module says its "rifled and meant for precision... but its the shotgun module? 😆

[lime hound]

I did the purge with my corvette active and now its damaged. I can see it parked next to my freighter when I fly in with a different ship. The teleporters on the freighter dont let me board it. They say theres nothing docked, and when I try to summon it, it says its already docked in the hanger... any suggestions?

[rapid skiff]

go to a station and summon it?

[lime hound]

It says its damaged

[rapid skiff]

leave the frigate

huh

[ember agate]

CHEVROLET is a car brand CORVETTE was a car model from that brand

[lime hound]

Iif I try to summon it on a planet ot station it says its damaged and wont summon.

[rapid skiff]

have you tried space walking to it?

if its parked at your freighter it "should" be accessible?

[lime hound]

Right it should be

It's not which is why I came here lol

Ill have to get some new parts and build a new corvette

[rapid skiff]

i dunno, i dont actually have a freighter, so ive never tried

[lime hound]

To try space walking

[rapid skiff]

so you cant summon it, because its broken, and you cant fix it because you cant summon... its a circle of obnoxiousness

[fading pendant]

So, I don't understand how the aesthetic weapon parts affect the usable weapons on a corvette. At first I just had a couple Photon Cannons parts installed, and the only weapon that shows up when hitting G is the Photon Cannon. Makes sense.

Then I added some Torpedo Launcher parts to it. I hop in and suddenly I have a Cyclotron Ballista equipped as well as my Photon Cannon? That's weird, since the Torpedo Launcher peice claims to buff Rocket Launchers.

Well anyway, I build a Rocket Launcher module in the inventory, now I have all three. I find myself no longer using the photon cannon, so I remove the Photon Cannon aesthetic parts, but I still have the PC module and cannot remove it, even though I have two other weapons. Any ideas for how I could get rid of the PC module?

Apologies for the wall of text.

[lime hound]

Yeah

[fading pendant]

This happened to me with a non-corvette ship. I went to my freighter, got in and out of any ship to create a restore point, then loaded that restore point from the Options menu and that made it appear and be accessible.

[lime hound]

Basically dont to the purgee mission with a Corvette active

[rapid skiff]

the modules are kind of bleh right now. i personally think that they meant well, but they released corvettes before the thing was finished

[warped warren]

right now the photon cannon cannot be uninstalled. maybe that will change in the future? also the phisical cannon parts are tied to a specific weapon that also cannot be uninstalled. The cyclotron ballista is prob a bug too.

[rapid skiff]

but he cant though, corvettes dont park in the freighter, they park outside, and he cant access it now

[fading pendant]

Yea, but if he reloads a restore point then the teleporter to the Corvette may start working

[rapid skiff]

hmm

its a good idea

[warped warren]

also up to 3 physical weapons can add 20% damage bonus to the type of weapon they buff.

20 each

i think

[rapid skiff]

there are two external teleporters, have you tried both of them? @lime hound

[ember agate]

you can lol, i felt dumb, but uh try going to your ramp door and BEAM ( it says too beam to freighter)

[lime hound]

I did the purge mission so I went to a new galaxy. My restore point at this point is from after the corvette was stuck

[timber sage]

Why in the corvette workshop it says no corvette docked? Does that mean that I can only work on it at the station where I started?

[ember agate]

also idk i kinda beg to differ modules if placed and overlapped can make some good ships

[fading pendant]

Yea, my restore point was from after my ship was stuck too. It's just to get the bug to go away, not to restore to before the issue happened

[rapid skiff]

no i meant he says he cant find the corvette, not the freighter 😛

[ember agate]

ah ic

[rapid skiff]

i never said it wasnt fun... i said it was bleh... there are a lot of problems with them that make the design shenanigans and the multiplayer facet not reliable

[prime robin]

hey, does anyone elses corvette tech move around without you touching it?

[ember agate]

as for the multiplayer not reliable due to them? idk i had someone sitting in my ship and walking around too all while i was flying (im sure he got cutscene when i warped) but other than that he didnt fall out or anything granted its 1 instance but yeah there are other bugs i hate (flinging every time i try turning with corvette ship)

[lone ore]

Ship is slowly getting less brick-like as I acquire parts

[lime hound]

Okay building a new corvette to try and space walk to it deleted it

[rapid skiff]

i have had issues with randomly "super spinning" while orbiting planets and its uncontrolable for a good 2-3 seconds, and frankly, its nauseating as hell. There are no warnings at all. one second im flying to a planet, the next my screen is a blur of everything and i cant even look at my screen

[lime hound]

Idk how to get my corvette back

[solar dove]

Hi

[lime hound]

It's just unsummonable

[solar dove]

Is there a way to build upwards using habs?

[ember agate]

yeah it happens to me alot too so i try to slow down (i see it happens more when you move your cursor alot and moving fast)

[solar dove]

Like second floor of ship or such?

[rapid skiff]

stack them on top of each other, access with stairs

[solar dove]

Doesnt work with walkway

[rapid skiff]

stairs are internal building moduls

[solar dove]

Oh ok

[alpine wing]

the stairs are buggy tho

hard to walk up

[rapid skiff]

yeah

[rapid skiff]

if you are in a place with traffic, there are a lot of times other ships wont show at all

[lime hound]

Is there somewhere I can report this bug...?

Far as I can see theres no way to recover my corvette

[solar dove]

Wish they'd use ladders for this

[rapid skiff]

and if you have someone else parked on your ship, even if they are invisible, you sometimes cant even get in yours

[alpine wing]

ladders are annoying tho

[solar dove]

Better yet make them collapsible

[rapid skiff]

does your freighter not have deck access?

[solar dove]

So i dont have to build around the main area

[rapid skiff]

most freighters ive been on for npc's and derelicts have a door out to the deck

[lime hound]

It wasnt working. Bugged i guess. And the corvettes are outside so its a teleporter

[rapid skiff]

the outside door... wasnt working?

huh

now i wanna see what your freighter looks like, thats weird

[lime hound]

You dont have a freighter so you dont know how it works

[timber sage]

Why in the corvette workshop it says no corvette docked? Does that mean that I can only work on it at the station where I started?

[lime hound]

Theres a teleporter on the freighter that takes you to your corvette

[rapid skiff]

i have been on freighters. not having one doesnt mean i know NOTHING

[hallow verge]

Is there a way to make a vertical ring? I want to make a ring at the back of a corvette but I'm not sure if it's possible with the modules we have

[lime hound]

It was was bugged. My corvette is damaged I can't get to it. I tried to space walk but that cause I'd the ship to despawn.

[rapid skiff]

not without clipping shenanigans

[lime hound]

Now it just says the ship is critically damaged and I can't access it at all

[rapid skiff]

unfortunate, im just trying to offer suggestions, not trying to be obnoxious

[lime hound]

Im gonna keep trying to figure it out but my time returning to this game might be short lived until theres a few updates

I spent too long making tjat ship and finding those parts.

For it to not be accessible like this

[rapid skiff]

maybe try the help discussion thread, i dunno

[lime hound]

I did

[rapid skiff]

huh

[lime hound]

Im going to find out how to send a bug report or something

[rapid skiff]

yeah, i tried summoning my expedition corvette only to get a blank ship. fortunately i was only freshly out of the expedition, so loading to my previous restore point let me go back

like none of the parts were there at all, just the modules

but yeah, apparently trying to summon your corvette from the expedition, while your active ship is a corvette, makes bad things happen 😛

or rather, makes one of them go poof

usually the expedition one

[trim isle]

hey im new in nms, somebody can tell me how transfer my corvette to mt principal save ?

[tropic locust]

Need to copy it over. Go back to the menu where you first started the expedition. There should be an option to copy the corvette over. Costs Nanites.

[rapid skiff]

i think you have to get to the end of the expedidtion to transfer things from the expedition. but you can go back to your main save from the esc menu, then go to the anomal, expedition terminal and see if you can download it

but it cost nanites each time so...

[trim isle]

i create other save for expedition

even so i can copy ?

[rapid skiff]

i dont think so?

try going to your main and see if you can upload it, but i doubt it

[still dew]

My corvette keeps disappearing and a regular ship keeps taking its place. Does this glitch happen to anyone else?

I didn’t trade it or anything

[lime hound]

Dang yeah ... idk how to fix this. Thats like.... 10+ hours of gameplay lost in that ship.

[still dew]

yea

[rapid skiff]

oof

[still dew]

happened to me twice

[lime hound]

Mine currently completely inaccessible

[still dew]

if I can’t get my ship back i’d atleast hope to bring this to other people’s attention in hopes the devs see this and fixes it for the future

[rancid birch]

after hours of farming corvette scrap, the only parts that i am missing for the full collection are:
1.Ballast Tank
2.Coolant distributor
3.Fuel cell
4.Plasma core
5.Shielded joint
6.High-Energy Ducting
7.Reinforced Hull Link
Can someone maybe trade them to me?
for other parts or whatever else you need
i can a tonn of reactors if someone is interested....
nanites anyone? can give hyaline brains for those parts

[warped warren]

i think they are available in creative only for now

[rapid skiff]

you can trade for them in the corvette shop

[rancid birch]

those ones you cant, i checked

[rancid birch]

well thats sad, would be great to know that before farming all that scrap lol

[rapid skiff]

then as was just mentioned, probably creative

[eternal basalt]

Hey can I ask a question ?

[rancid birch]

you just did

[warped warren]

sell that for profit!

[rapid skiff]

wait... fuel cell?

oh, i have fuel "rods" nvm

[warped warren]

i hope they keep expanding on pieces

[livid crystal]

can i have teleporters in my corvette, im trying to make it work but i cant place the cable(as in short range teleporter)

[eternal basalt]

.....Walked into that one .. but seriously. I have a Question about the tech on corvettes. Got ship built and am settign up the tech and need to know. For the hyperdrive do I need ALL the drives. or just a specific one Tech wise

[rancid birch]

those are the ones i dont have

[tranquil cipher]

it'd be nice if they added a keybind or something that lets you see what buffs and stat boosts the different core parts give even when you're at the max part/buff ratio

[rancid birch]

considering they are grouped so tidely in one place

[warped warren]

reinforced hull link IS available

[rancid birch]

might not be available outside creative

[rapid skiff]

huh... yeah i have that one

[rancid birch]

i might be blind

[tranquil cipher]

cause right now, i dont really wanna have to delete all the habs to view what each hab class gives

[rancid birch]

can i trade for it?

[rapid skiff]

try high tech pirate systems, they have some pieces that are hard to find

[rancid birch]

i mean in the terminal

[eternal basalt]

and I mean DO I need to have the cadmium, indrian,atlanan ans the likes in the ship tech spots Or just one

[rapid skiff]

you mean this? i can

[rustic narwhal]

i love this game lmfao

[raven rover]

its eepy

[jagged sigil]

Go home corvette, you are drunk

[eternal basalt]

SO do I?

[warped warren]

all of them give some boost to hyperdrive, but only the highest one (atlantean i think) is needed to go to any star color

[rustic narwhal]

tried to get in, glitched out on me 😂 super cool looking corvette though

anyone know why they’re called corvettes btw??

[raven rover]

^

Just the atlantid drive is enough

[eternal basalt]

thanbk you thats all I needed to know my HD range is already Huge That saves me some room!

[warped warren]

yeah but you will be shorter on range if you only install the atlñantideum drive

[warped warren]

the whaaat

[eternal basalt]

I can live with a little less range

[jagged sigil]

Its a type of ship that is generally on the smaller side compared to others. From smallest to largest.

• Fighter? (The default ship)
• Corvette
• Frigate
• Freighter

[rapid skiff]

yeah, i dont have most of those either, i only have the one 🙁 but try salvaging in 3* and/or pirate systems. i think thats where i got mine

[raven rover]

even tho max size corvette is almost the same size as an living frigate

[jagged sigil]

True enough

[rancid birch]

thanks, missed it

[rustic narwhal]

sick thank you!!

[rapid skiff]

hmm, i should try building my beetle again, that was a neat little compact

heh, so you can just build a ship with only functional parts, it looks kinda awkward, but also a cool sort of space-punk 😛

[rancid birch]

i have been farming for quite a while, i have some extra, do you need some parts?

[rapid skiff]

i mean... not really? im pretty casual, ill just farm on my own if i want something :-), thanks though

[rancid birch]

alright

#nms-showcase-corvettes is where to show off your corvette »

[rapid skiff]

my gaming habits are strange... i like playing with people, but almost always end up on my own 😕

[warm vault]

Is it possible to put teleporters in a corvette to get from distant parts of the ship? I tried putting them down, but there doesn't seem to be a way to connect them. I just need to teleport from the entrance to the cockpit

[livid veldt]

I glitched this one without functional parts. 🙂

[rapid skiff]

yeah, the micro build. i saw a video about that

its even got a bowtie, how cute 😛

[tardy bear]

We need more different corvette wing parts

And how to use the cargo pods they dont show up in the inventory but got gazillions of them 🙃

[rapid skiff]

heh, i would settle for both x and y axis rotation...

you can only flip a limited amount of pieces, but no proper rotation

i get why, because the update seems to be unfinished as is. playable and enjoyable, but there are still a lot of problems

i also love how the thunderbird landing bay can double as a hab connector 🙂
makes an awesome center-piece

[tardy bear]

Yes rotations pls!

[lime hound]

Wooookk!

Wooo*

Idk what happened

But it randomly let me summon it

My ship is back!

[rapid skiff]

nice!

[lime hound]

Nothing changed... eh I warped to a new system. Maybe that was it

[rapid skiff]

ghost ship re-acquired 😛

[tropic locust]

can I make a corvette without the photon cannon, or is that hard-coded in?

[rapid skiff]

nope, its default

[tropic locust]

that is unfortunate

[rapid skiff]

you can not add the module if you have another weapon, but the basic weapon module is still there

[tropic locust]

i plan to use laser and shotgun

[rapid skiff]

yeah, im still pretty basic, havent figured any of the alternate weapons out yet 😛

[tropic locust]

I like that they called the shotgun Deadeye, like it's something accurate. XD

[rapid skiff]

yeah, i did just mention that a bit ago

[tropic locust]

oh. I just got here

[rapid skiff]

lol i figured

if you read the description, it even says "rifled for precision aiming" 😆

[tropic locust]

I feel like the name and description were supposed to be for some sniper-type weapon, but they couldn'tget it ready in time, so they went with the positron instead

[solar dove]

Can i increase the upgrade slots on the corvette

[rapid skiff]

yeah

[solar dove]

I feel like i dont have enough

[rapid skiff]

theres a force trick to use

strip your corvette to the minimum, fill your tech inventory with standard modules, then add the parts after that

it will force open the slots permanently 😛

[solar dove]

Also wait does the cannon type matter?

[rapid skiff]

as in, add the standards. SAVE THE SHIP, then add the parts with module slots

[solar dove]

Can i use infraknife on the beam turret?

The heat dispersion seems huge

[rapid skiff]

you can have 3 of each, and they can all add benefits as long as they are in your tech inventory

you can have 3 of EVERY type if you so wish, but thats extra

you can actually make a ship entirely out of "essential" pieces, you can even have 3 of every type of reactor COUNT as its own mod slot

but obviously, if you do that you wont have much room for the standard mods 😛

[rapid skiff]

oh wait... i misread that. each turret module affects specific weapon types, so if they dont "light up" when you place them adjacent, then no

[placid onyx]

Idk how much of this is known but you must have snapping on to customize/build your corvette.

I just started the expedition after I had done my usual routine and tried out making my own and I switched to free placement mode on accident while trying to place my refiner and eventually I was one way stuck on the space station. I had to switch back to my main save, leave anomaly, land on planet, build menu, attempt to place object, swap back to snap, return to anomaly and continue the expedition and I could place corvette parts. No idea how to fix on a new save though it’s not long into starting the expedition so restarting isn’t super annoying. I’m on xbox btw so this was what I had to do.

[signal oasis]

Created a corvette for a contest. Looks dope imo

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3564959700

[faint citrus]

On the earlier topic of symmetrical ships, i give you my sweet Megan

[signal oasis]

lol you should see the other side of my ship, its so symetrical.

Purpose of that ship is to be a "one screen shot contest" so I said "bet im putting EVERYTHING to one side...

[rapid skiff]

did you not have a base?

[warm vault]

Really like the way this design keeps evolving:

[rapid skiff]

you can just teleport back to your base, use the build menu, change back, then use the teleport thing again for 30 chromatic

[placid onyx]

I do but I tend to prefer flying to nearby planets as I was in my system with a settlement and I tend to forget the big teleporter exists in the anomaly

[rapid skiff]

no i meant in expedition

make a small base thing, so you have a planet to teleport to

[placid onyx]

Oh yeah no I didn’t I just made the orbital uplink and used it without thinking too much

[rapid skiff]

oof

yeah going straight to the station like that... but there should have been public bases to teleport to from the station

even if you cant place anything, you can access the build menu

[placid onyx]

I usually only make a base on systems or planets I wanna go back to in expeditions as my save is as old as 2016

[placid onyx]

Yeah but you have to “hold” an object in order to activate or deactivate snap mode

I should know I tried

[rapid skiff]

and you can hold it, you just cant place it, tahts enough to change the build mode

[placid onyx]

Not in the corvette menu

There’s no snap modifier

[rapid skiff]

you can use it in the regular build mode as well

they cross over

get out of the corvette build mode, and use the structure build mode

[placid onyx]

I tried that

[rapid skiff]

go to a public player portal, and do it

[prisma matrix]

My feesh cruiser has had three big stages so far

[placid onyx]

Whoops my bad

[rapid skiff]

i had like 5 bases on my station portal that werent even mine

[placid onyx]

I’ll fit my corvette in

I forgot about those

[rapid skiff]

😛

[placid onyx]

I never interact with others bases if I can help it

[rapid skiff]

yeah, but i like to explore and see what other people build

you dont have to interact, just accessing the menu is enough to change to snap mode

[prisma matrix]

We need a dedicated corvette landing pad base piece, I can’t keep having them clipping garishly into buildings when I tp somewhere

[placid onyx]

True but I tend to like the quiet abyss of being alone in space that nms can provide

[rapid skiff]

a lot of simple things get overlooked when you play for a while 😛

[placid onyx]

lol so true

[warm vault]

What's that fish projection from?

[prisma matrix]

Wonder projector. Was inside the ship the first two times, put it on top of the dish the third time bc it was a bit low down

[rapid skiff]

ive only been playing about a week or so, so a lot of things are still pretty fresh

[prisma matrix]

You can just barely see the shine of the projector

[naive sparrow]

needs more fish

[rapid skiff]

thats a lot of thrusters

[placid onyx]

That’s fair I’ve been on and off over the years but I’m usually back and playing more whenever a big update or expedition comes out

[faint citrus]

How am i doing so far?

[signal oasis]

oh my god...

lemme live in there is beautifuL!

[prisma matrix]

At a certain point I had too many and some weren’t showing trails. It has the max possible number of thrusters for all to have trails (10) plus bonus from most of them being engine units with two exhausts

[prisma matrix]

I’m planning to visit more water planets and see if I can find more fish with different colours

[faint citrus]

also whats stopping us at the end of the expidition slapping every collected part on the ships..... copying the ship and taking all the parts back off lmao

[naive sparrow]

nothing but however many nanites you're willing to spend

[faint citrus]

shes getting better

[signal oasis]

perfect

[rapid skiff]

i think the nanite cost is correlated to how many slots it has, so if you make a new corvetter(not sure if you can in expedition) and slap everything on that it might be cheaper

i had a slap everything on and a bare minimum ship just to compare the price, nothing changed, so i think its the open slots/rarity class that affects it

[naive sparrow]

need another ship to cosplay

ooh I know
I'll pick something from Fractured Space

or perhaps the Retribution from IW

[rapid skiff]

interesting, so if you place 3 medusa reactors before the cockpit, you can get rid of the c-rank module slot it takes

[waxen minnow]

Can you buy corvette parts?

[neon flume]

Anyone have a tutorial for a scorpion shaped corvette?

[waxen minnow]

Im trying to build a razor crest lol

[rapid skiff]

you can buy the basics, but you cant trade the store bought ones for the other pieces

the bare minimum for a corvette costs just under 8mil

[waxen minnow]

Good thing I have 627 mil

[rapid skiff]

that is good, planty of wiggle room

[waxen minnow]

I just need the parts

[rapid skiff]

but if you are looking to build bash, i recommend scavenging a scrap planet for the "good stuff"

[waxen minnow]

Now I just gotta find a salvage scrap planet

[rapid skiff]

prefferably in a 3* and/or pirate system, as those are supposedly better to find the more rare pieces

[waxen minnow]

Good to know

[rapid skiff]

they are visible from the planetary scan from space. if you cant find at least one planet in 2-3 systems, you just have bad luck

if you really want to have some fun specifically with corvette stuff, expedition is out now

[waxen minnow]

Whats that

[rapid skiff]

uh... its like a season pass? but free

they basically release expeditions with new updates as a "tutorial" for new-ish content

along with mixing a few older things in

[waxen minnow]

Ill check it out after my kiddo goes to sleep

[rapid skiff]

yeah, you go to the anomaly, there is an expedition terminal behind the main mission hub

[waxen minnow]

Any good rewards?

[rapid skiff]

bunch of free corvette pieces, a jetpack trail, ship trail, and a mecha pet

[waxen minnow]

Ill definitely do it

[soft yoke]

When will they fix the spinning?

[rapid skiff]

when they feel like we've vomitted enough? 😕

[soft yoke]

😂 fair enough

[rapid skiff]

ive heard not making sudden movements with your mouse helps, i guess that means controller/console players look at us crazy as if they dont know what we're talking about?

ive only ever gotten the spin when im coasting to/by a planet, so thats also a thing

might just be coincidence though

[charred radish]

Halo Pelican

[fringe elm]

Should I scrap this? Feels too big for me lol

[rapid skiff]

it does look big, but you can just make another if you want a compact

[fringe elm]

It’s 100 part cap

I got no more parts haha

[rapid skiff]

i recommend switching to a non corvette first. its been known to cause issues having an active corvette while creating one

oh, on a related note, you cant get rid of a corvette slot(unless it changed in the last couple days) but even the store bought pieces start at a ship value of around 30 mil. you can trade them for an expensive regular ship with a station pilot and scrap the trade-in. maybe even making a tidy profit as well 🙂

[fiery trellis]

go big or go home

#nms-showcase-corvettes is where to show off your corvette »

[fiery trellis]

though I recommend putting the cockpit on the top closer to the rear, it makes larger ships look more proportional

it'll also feel bigger when you can see the entire front through the cockpit

[chrome sedge]

so I have a question because I am unsure whether my corvette is glitching or not at this point. Prior to today, all of the parts I used to build my corvette were placed into tech slots but upon looking today they are no longer there. Are they supposed to be in the tech slots or not?

[soft yoke]

For it's when I boost I then I suddenly start spinning like I hit something

[chrome sedge]

also, I am on PS5 if that helps with the answer

[warped warren]

they will come back. maybe a restart or a new edit on your ship. it happens

[chrome sedge]

ok, thank you.

[rapid skiff]

it didnt fix it for me, i had to go back to my expedition and transfer the items by hand

[slim pawn]

Might tweak it still but this is my star trek inspired corvette for Star Trek day. Built on survival

[fiery trellis]

we really need rounded corners huh

[slim pawn]

Lol it would help

[rapid skiff]

they have them... they just take a lot more work to put together

[wary sail]

Def looks like it's coming along really well though, recognizably Starfleet issue. 🫡

[rapid skiff]

you can snap together all the pieces you want, but "making them fit" is another story

yeah, it looks great sompared to some ive tried to make 😛

i tried making a y-wing... it didnt go well

[oak hinge]

1 of 3 I've built.

[wary sail]

Looks a bit like you swiped it off the Sents! Very cool.

[rapid skiff]

so yeah... the trade in value for a corvette that only cost around 8 mil to make... is 30 mil. so if you can get a ship thats even 10 mil in scrap value, you can make a profit just by making clunker corvettes and "selling" them to npc pilots 😛

[small plaza]

That's how car companies make profits, perfectly realistic

[rapid skiff]

you lose some value in scrap trading, so i'd say a 10-11 mil value is the minimum for profit

hehe

but ive seen some small ships valued at 20-30 mil so... you can double and triple your loss with good rng

speaking of, even if i trade this one in for 7 mil, my ship only cost 8 mil, and i will get about 34-35 in scrap, so easy 20-ish mil profit 😛

oh, its only 26, still over 10 mil

[placid temple]

i am incapable of making a good looking corvette but thisll do

[rapid skiff]

i mean, nobody is good at anything at the start. just practice if you want to improve 😛

dont be afraid to use examples from other builders as well. nothing teaches artistry like plagiar... ahem
I mean, imitation

[nocturne fjord]

I'm having a problem with placing interior modules. Everything I place shows no preview, either red or green, and when placed attaches half way up the wall and sticks out of the top of the ship. It was working fine yesterday, but today I can't get anything to snap correctly. Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround?

[rapid skiff]

you are in free build, hit v

while you have an item in your hand

[nocturne fjord]

Ah yes tthat's it, thank you!

[rapid skiff]

np 🙂

a neat little trick, you can actually use that to cram more than you should be able to fit in your habs

storage containers in particular can be far more efficiently placed

[nocturne fjord]

Good to know

[rapid skiff]

though its hard to aim them properly with titan or ambassador habs, thunderbirds have sharper/steeper corners that get in the way "much less" in free placement

ive gotten 7 containers in a single hab... wasnt comfortable, but i could fit them 😛

[trim crest]

How do you place plants and stuff outside the corvett?

Im on xbox

[jagged sigil]

Hi there, question. I just tried to add a 41st tech slot in my corvette but it will not let me. However, asking google I was told there is a maximum of 60 slots that can go in a starship. Even the corvette. Which is riight?

[rapid skiff]

60 tech slots? or inventory slots?

[elfin bear]

Asking again

tech slots.

[rapid skiff]

oh yeah, ten rows of 6

[elfin bear]

Just asked again

I even logged off and relogged. Still only 40 max

[rapid skiff]

so, as ive said a couple times earlier, you can "force" open slots by stripping your ship to the bare minimum, then filling your tech slots with standard mods, then add everything back. all of the modules that have a tech slot will force open an unused slot. i have noticed the inventory faulty after about 40 or so

note, it doesnt matter if the mods are functional or not, as long as they fill a slot

[elfin bear]

okay. I'll try it. ty ty

[rapid skiff]

until they allow the standard method to open all 60, or until they patch this method out, its probably the only way to get all the slots

note, if you get over 60, it wont break anything, you can just take out the extra mods and re-attatch the ship parts that you want the mods to

its also a good way to filter out the low c and b mods... thoug keep in mind, when you remove the filler mods, i think the lower rank mod slots from ship parts will come back on reload unless you fill the slots again

[muted mulch]

any way to get the corvette weapon from the expidition without doing it?

[rapid skiff]

nope

well, technically, you can get the "weapon", but not the turret module

[muted mulch]

can someone make it?

[rapid skiff]

i dont think you can trade them, but i can check

[solid badger]

Hello, I started the game in normal mode. After completing the Nexus mission, I selected the Expedition option inside the Nexus. Now it feels like the game has restarted, but I have better equipment and a larger ship.
My question is: Is the Expedition a temporary event, or will my save continue with this larger ship and better equipment once the Expedition ends? Will my save be deleted when the Expedition is over, and will I have to start all over again?

[somber depot]

you can choose to copy the expedition ship and tools to your main save after ur done

with cost of nanites

[rapid skiff]

temporary, but the progress you made will carry over... in a way

you will get the saved bases and portal unlocks, items you dont carry over can be converted to currency, and then currencies will carry over 1 for 1

you can get a copy of your multitool and ship by interacting with the expedition terminal once you load your main save when you are done

note DO NOT have a corvette active when trying to load in your corvette from the expedition

in fact, its better to go back to your main save(you can do so from the esc menu at any time) and change your active ship to a non corvette ship before you get to the end of the expedition

[dry frigate]

hey all, i finished my corvette finally. took it on its maiden voyage and it seems i have some parts placed underneath the ship i cant access when on the customization pad. anyone know of a fix to delete misc parts?

[rapid skiff]

cant say i do. havent built them that low before

[dry frigate]

yeah i dont know how i managed to do it but i did haha

[rapid skiff]

what are the tube things on the side? i dont recognize those

[dry frigate]

that is so dope juju

[clear loom]

QuQ thank you

the second picture

[gusty cape]

That is a ship...

[clear loom]

Cyclonic Lathes i think

i just lined em up and stacked em ontop of each other

[rapid skiff]

i mean... mine looks like c-3po from the young anakin on tatooine version 😛

[clear loom]

once i get the bubble vents i can make it look a bit better

[rapid skiff]

ill get a shell on it eventually, im just messing around with stat blocks right now

considering thats only ship parts, the stats are pretty good

[clear loom]

Nice ^^

[rapid skiff]

how do you get bigger open space in corvettes? you can use freeplacement, but i swear those arent meant to fit in the space provided in a single hab

but if you stack them on top of each other, they are still separated by a ceiling/floor

i wish you could change the models, because the models ARE different between free place and standard snap, and i like a lot of the free place models better

example, free place bed(first), over the snap bed for thunderbird hab

[warm heron]

Question… does anyone else’s corvette feel slow? I want to just say it’s because they’re bigger ships of course.. got my maneuverability up a bit more n it still feels heavy asl. Normal?

[rapid skiff]

it will feel heavy if you have a lot of parts on them, the camera angle, the ambience, the drag. even the littlest things can change your perspective. like walking past a street sign from 10 ft, vs 20 ft

it feels slower when you are farther, because the perspective changes, but you are still walking past it at around the same speed

[worldly kiln]

Bruh my corvette disappeared mid expedition and now it wont let me build a new one as it keeps eating my parts and not giving me a ship to fly

[rapid skiff]

crazy, havent heard that before

[rocky ginkgo]

How many hubs can you put horizontally max?

[hazy salmon]

corvette always lands back to you or depends on the location of the exit?

[somber depot]

mine always throws it back at me

[ornate escarp]

I’m having trouble creating a corvette ship. I’m editing a corvette ship at the space station, but when I delete a specific living quarters module, even though there should be nothing around it, I get the message ‘All modules must be connected.’ I haven’t installed any interior or anything else. What should I do?

I apologize if there are any unclear parts due to using translation.

[rapid skiff]

how did you leave the editor if something wasnt connected?

[rapid skiff]

removing a piece can disconnect things that were snapped to it, despite the difference in range. if something was attatched to something connected to it, it can also become disconnected upon removal

[viral crane]

Here's the Interior to my Corvette known as the R.S. "Behemoth" - Mk. 03. As mentioned a bit ago before, it's designed specifically to hold a full crew, providing all the necessities they might need. Both for comfort and practicality! 1st is the cargo hold and pick/drop off point. 2nd floor is the living qiarters that connect to the med bay and bunks while the workshop remains in the back. 3rd is wholly purposed as a green house while the front leads to the command bay. And the final floor is simply the cockpit!

[rapid skiff]

look for red highlighted items, those are what need to be fixed

[ornate escarp]

Even after deleting all Corvette parts, an error is displayed.
The operation was completed because the edit was discarded.

[pliant sparrow]

Oooh

[rapid skiff]

hmm

[pliant sparrow]

Interiors for the Roach

@viral crane

[viral crane]

Aight imma look

[ornate escarp]

すべてのモジュールを接続する必要があります means ‘All modules must be connected.

[rapid skiff]

what does the rest of the ship look like, showing one piece doesnt show much

[viral crane]

That is actually cool as fuck

[rapid skiff]

it could be something not anywhere nearby

[pliant sparrow]

Japanese font on NMS looks so good lol

[viral crane]

Bro it actually feels lived in and shit. That's really cool lmfao

[pliant sparrow]

ty

[pliant sparrow]

Ty! I really wanted to give the ship a lived-in feel

[viral crane]

I think the exterior deisgn is probably my favorite corvette I've seen so far ngl. Kinda jelous cause my ship look like a sub sandwhich lmao

Here lemme send you a pic

[ornate escarp]

its so cool

[pliant sparrow]

the 2nd image is one of the reference photos I used to design my corvette

[rapid skiff]

oh man... i would start moving/removing nearby pieces to see if there is something hiding inside another piece. especially in bulky builds like that... a LOT of places to hide

[pliant sparrow]

heres another

[rapid skiff]

your ship being deep red doesnt help 😛

[ornate escarp]

Of course I did it. I even deleted everything.

[viral crane]

Yeah that's bad ass lol

[pliant sparrow]

tis my favorite ship

I wanna keep doing more but ik that'd be over complicating it

[pliant sparrow]

Im thinkin if I should build somethin elsee

[ornate escarp]

Nothing

[rapid skiff]

then you might have something under the floor, i got nothing if you took everything out from top to bottom

so you get that error message no matter what you build?

[viral crane]

Honestly... I feel like it depnds on wht ur aiming for. Caue for me, I wanted to make my ship look big and meaty while also serving a lot purpose for what a corvette is meant for.

[ornate escarp]

Placing the residential area in a specific location will prevent errors.

[rapid skiff]

so you may have a landing piece under the floor somewhere

[dusky thicket]

So, here's 1hr of parts farming after a new technique I found on YT

[pliant sparrow]

I like making cozy ships

It's funny because this thing was supposed to be smaller

I was originally going to just build the ship w no side engines

or wings

it would've been almost zeppelin like

[dusky thicket]

Damn. That's impressive wtf.

All it takes is 3sec in this channel for me to realize I suck at building XD

[ornate escarp]

Nothing seems to be happening either inside or outside.

[pliant sparrow]

but I just added wings to experiment and it just added so much character so I kept them in

[pliant sparrow]

Nah man, you get to learn and even replicate from others

I posted this ship some days ago and it got like 10k upvotes, i didnt include a build tutorial but several have already kinda replicated it

[dusky thicket]

I mean, this was my first one I made last night, with the limited parts I had

[rapid skiff]

so, you say you can put a hab in a place and it stops the error, do you have any pieces that it says you are missing?

[pliant sparrow]

@viral crane https://x.com/NoMansSky/status/1965053259695157432 sean also liked my ship too :d

[viral crane]

Dw. Most of us feek the same way lol

[rapid skiff]

place down one of each piece until they all disappear

[pliant sparrow]

That looks really good wth

Clean silhouette

[raven rover]

Ive just been making a battlecruiser

[pliant sparrow]

Something I remember when I was watching some sci fi artist work on some art, they mentioned that the best kinda spaceship you can make is one with an amazing silhouette

it's similar to just character design in general

[raven rover]

Shi is so big i had to change my fov

[dusky thicket]

My endgoal is something that looks like it's out of Halo

[pliant sparrow]

once you have a strong silhouette it becomes memorable

[raven rover]

Yeah

[viral crane]

If only mine were that cool 😔

[raven rover]

Silhouette is everything

[pliant sparrow]

like, every time I added something to this ship I'd zoom out and look at it from its side

[raven rover]

when designing stuff

[rapid skiff]

if nothing else, you may just have to use the good old alt+f4 restart so you can start from your previous restore point

[pliant sparrow]

(thisi is an old photo, I removed the very top flag cause I felt it messed with the curvature lol

[ornate escarp]

It doesn't display; it says you need to connect the module.

[rapid skiff]

im presuming you cant do things because it wont let you out of the build menu

hmm, so its not an essential piece then

or is there any pieces that you can take away and it DOESNT tell you to place them

[dusky thicket]

I'm just having a hard time getting the other types of cockpits and stuff

[rapid skiff]

look for a salvage world in a pirate system, those usually drop a lot of the uncommon pieces

and 3* economy systems

[raven rover]

and a moon

far easier

[dusky thicket]

Aw nuts pirate systems?

[rapid skiff]

i mean... pirate systems are usually not a problem so long as you arent completely new

[dusky thicket]

What if I told you I haven't played seriously in the better part of 6 years

[rapid skiff]

but if you want some parts, do the expedition. its built specifically for getting you up to speed on the corvette stuff 🙂

then again, once you get your bearings, the expedition is the best way to dust off old habits 🙂

i only played for a few days before the expedition hit, bugs and glitches aside, its really fun

[dusky thicket]

Should I bring an old ship or the corvette I already have?

[rapid skiff]

to the expedition? you CANT bring an old ship

[dusky thicket]

Oh.

[raven rover]

its easy enough

[dusky thicket]

How long does it take, you think? I only have like 3hrs tonight max

[raven rover]

Thats enough

Or 4 hrs probably

This expedition is so easy

[dusky thicket]

So bring a save beacon

[rapid skiff]

i mean, if you were a super pro back in the day you might be able to finish it in a few hours

but i certainly took my time 😛

[raven rover]

bring a sentinel boundary map, and some plants

[rapid skiff]

save beacon is one of the first things you learn there

[raven rover]

If you want to speedrun it

[rapid skiff]

or, one of the first things "i" learned

the thing about that is, he's gotta get to the anomaly first. and it took me getting a ways in before i could even call the anomaly

then again, i wasnt in a hurry so...

[raven rover]

1 warp is easy enough tbh

[rapid skiff]

its not a difficult expedition if you arent terrible at following directions 😛
you should be fine regardless

1 jump is all? man, now i wish i hadn't taken my sweet time getting my bearings ;-P

i mean, the pelican from halo is a very obvious one. i swear a lot of these pieces are designed SPECIFICALLY for it. its a very classic sci-fi ship 😛

[raven rover]

Looks coool man

[frail rapids]

Fank yew

[dusky thicket]

Should I be ok going into it with this kit?

[raven rover]

.

[dusky thicket]

Why those?

[raven rover]

1 of the milestone requires you to plant stuff in your corvette

[dusky thicket]

Would frostwart be ok?

[rocky ginkgo]

whats the best way of replacing hubs or extending BUT keeping the interior if possible?

[raven rover]

1 other asks you to disable sentinels on a planet

[raven rover]

Best option tbh
