[vital trail]

yall do i keep the corvette after the expedition?

[rose harbor]

If you like how it looks, and don't already have one on your main save, then sure!

[rapid skiff]

you can upload it from the expedition terminal when you come back, yes. just make sure you dont have an active corvette when you do

[heavy dome]

Your corvette actually looks similar to mine, though better

[golden radish]

just a word of warning, there's a chance it may copy wrong and becomes unusable, though i don't know what causes that precisely

[heavy dome]

I wanted to take a picture of mine but no matter what the photo mode makes the saturation go down for some reason.

[rapid skiff]

huh, why am i at the anomaly? coulda swore i logged off at a station

[compact basin]

Is there a way to place cowling on the side of your corvette?

[rose harbor]

Is there a sentinel decal? I wanna add one to my corvette, followed by a bunch of tally marks

[rapid skiff]

you gotta have a snap point. if you round/taper off all the edges, you close most of the snap points

[rapid skiff]

not to the public? they may be some from the earlier expeditions. im fairly new and i havent seen any

[compact basin]

Like flat on the side

[brisk jewel]

Looking for someone to trade parts with?

[heavy dome]

Idk why photomode does this

[rapid skiff]

at least, not already occupied, you can workaround by adding additional snap points with longer pieces and "walking them" to the edge. hang on, i can give you an example

[rapid skiff]

lighting, you can use the camera options to move the sun. but the gameplay mode will try to give you a better light perspective from the player's perspective

[raven rover]

Yes

[heavy dome]

No matter how and where I move the sun, I just cannot get the same lighting as player view

[rapid skiff]

hmm

[raven rover]

No

[heavy dome]

Could it be a graphical setting? I do play on the lowest graphics possible so my pc doesnt die of heatstroke

[compact basin]

Damn

[glossy iron]

what do yall use for the sail mast on pirate ship?

[vital trail]

why?

[heavy dome]

Dont know why a graphical setting would nerf photo mode though so idk if that could be it.

[hazy gull]

Replace your sun

[raven rover]

Its a common photomode bug

[heavy dome]

Oh its a bug? How do I unbug it?

[raven rover]

I actually dunno, ask in #nms-questions

[rapid skiff]

because its been known to screw up the spawn in and give you a blank corvette

[heavy dome]

Will do, thanks!

[raven rover]

They probably know how

[pliant sparrow]

Its some kind of in-game fog you cant actually remove

you’ll notice it via distance

[raven rover]

Oh hi lejet

Hows the ship goin

[glossy iron]

trying to use this antenna but it keeps having a big space inbetween for my sails

[misty rapids]

Howw???

[rapid skiff]

funny, for me, its actually the opposite

[raven rover]

you meant like this right?

[misty rapids]

Thats the enterance

[raven rover]

Like high uo

[misty rapids]

I meant the actual landing feet

[raven rover]

Oh wait yeah im dumb

Didnt see the landing gear

[misty rapids]

Derp

[raven rover]

Yeah you cant sadly

[misty rapids]

REEE

I will compromise.. gotta edit

HELLO GAMES! Let me place the enterance on the side.. pleaase

Wait a minute.. that actually may be possible.. maybe

[hearty sentinel]

I kind of want a room that would just have a "beam down" console, but I worry that might get them blapped by lawyers defending Trek IP

[sharp plinth]

oh god, I almost finish it

[stoic vector]

Can companions/pets live on your corvette?

[turbid valve]

are we getting more parts in the future? does feel like some are missing 🙁 (or just let us fully rotated all parts! 😮

[hearty sentinel]

Theres some data mined parts that aren't in yet.
Including one named "internal landing bay"

[dusky belfry]

I'm on the last milestones and seems to ask mostly to get corvette modules, what's some easy money option to buy them? ancient bones?

[signal flare]

what glitches do you all use to get parts backwards?

[hearty sentinel]

The salvage spots on planets for getting parts out of the ground also drop relics worth a decent amount of units.

[raven rover]

double habs

[raven rover]

like the normally unrotateable parts right?

https://youtu.be/MbZ2VfVQtvY?si=fZbCwAVM7_GD-Gul

[hearty sentinel]

Do you have to keep the double hab, or does it work to remove them?

[signal flare]

yeah, thanks

[dusky belfry]

are salvage spots specific on some planets?

[errant bone]

need help with walkway placement for the corvettes. I have walkways between the habs but they aren't connecting. do they only go straight and not a cross section? also if straight only how do i get my hab to connect? i tried removing and adding back and still aren't connecting

[golden radish]

those with the "Salvageable Scrap" feature when viewed from space

[hearty sentinel]

You ccan blast them with splash damage weapons rather than dig too

[limpid karma]

if i put the cockpit on backwards does it fly straight

[rugged jolt]

mannnnnnnn I wish the complexity limit was upped to 150

heck even 125 would be enough for me

[limpid karma]

its for size reasons

[rugged jolt]

I know

Render issues and size

[limpid karma]

you dont need that many parts to make something cool though

i hope they add more wing modules

and more thrusters

[supple willow]

Amazing

[limpid karma]

i feel like its missing something but idk what

im most proud of the gun port on the front

theres also one on the back

[rugged jolt]

Oh no I've made a lot of designs with room to spare

but the one I'm working on right now is cutting it soooooooooo close

[limpid karma]

maybe cut down on interior pieces

since you cant see them

[rugged jolt]

Thats the thing I don't have any interior pieces yet

loool

[limpid karma]

a ship of your own design?

[rugged jolt]

Yea

I'll share in a sec its almost done

just gotta decorate

[limpid karma]

there needs to be more everything

i feel like what we have is somewhat restrictive in terms of what designs are possible

i love the glitch where you can place things inside of themselves

and of course backwards thrusters

[solemn birch]

Any way to save your corvette so you dont end up risking it dissapearing without being able to bring it back like some ive seen?

[limpid karma]

theres a glitch where they stop existing?

[solemn birch]

yeah. 1 glitch where it turns into a sentinel ship lol and i have had 2 dissapear just today which i suspect is because i was swapping out TONS of ships. But those 2 i just had to rebuild which is still annoying

[glossy iron]

Is there any way to enter free cam building with corvette or no?

[limpid karma]

if you are inside of a base i think you can

its finicky

not really intended i guess

[rapid skiff]

ugh, why give us "covers" that dont actually COVER anything?

[pseudo charm]

this cracks me up. while working on a boat in the space station I put down some landing pads.. and then NPCS.. landed on it hahhahaha

[solemn birch]

Cant you do some off set glitching and get it on?

[rapid skiff]

ive tried

[glossy iron]

I need some help figuring out sails for my ship, anyone got any tips?

[rapid skiff]

but im also near the build limit, so i cant do anything "too" crazy

[fresh ocean]

so i am slowly getting the parts to build my 1st corvette, do i want 1 or more reactors and shields?

[heavy sparrow]

Has the glitch where you seemingly fly into nothing in your corvette been patched

I keep “hitting” nothing and spinning out of control while flying sometimes in my corvette

[scenic hamlet]

who hass enough to give me everything i need to make a corvette i have in mind

[dim locust]

is there a way to farm them without getting out your ship?

[golden radish]

you can shoot them with your photon gun, they do area damage through the ground.

though in rare cases they spawn in underground caves, no way around leaving the ship then

btw, you can scan for salvages from your ship, you just have to leave the pilot seat without landing

[sharp plinth]

need longer landing pad

[sage crane]

How are you adding base parts to the corvette???

[golden radish]

mods, i think

[sage crane]

Ooof

Do they stay placed even if I unmod the game? Or if I play with friends?

[raw wraith]

Gets hard to do it that long. The click window gets shorter the further out you go, I think.

[wraith lodge]

No mods , when you in or on corvette hit z key

[solid bane]

not sure where to put it, but you can destroy your own containers to farm some materials lol

[glossy iron]

no im using mods lol

and they work with multiplayer and if you remove mods it stays

[hardy oracle]

There are some basebuilding mods that are not multiplayer compatible, but most of them seem to just tweak the placement rules rather than add content. The changes you make with those are likely to remain even if you un-mod the game

[glossy iron]

other people can see stuff you've added

[sage crane]

Yes, but I don't have base parts, just props

[solemn birch]

is my corvette about to die???

[sage crane]

Cool, which mod and how do you add it? Vortex from Nexus?

[glossy iron]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3291?tab=files
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3701?tab=files
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096?tab=description

[sharp plinth]

yes, especially when you need to install temporary elements for install others

[rapid skiff]

what makes you think that?

[wintry cipher]

Is anyone having a glitch with their corvette adding old parts back on randomly? I’ll be fine, doing my thing, then I jump out of my ship and turn around to see giant ship components jutting out the sides of my corvette

[glossy iron]

there's a mod folder in the game directory, just drop it in there

each mod has installation instructions

[sage crane]

Thanks! 💪🏼

[glossy iron]

gotcha

[solemn birch]

all modules just gone haha. A restart did the trick now everythings just scrambled but still. so many bugs with corvette its insane

[wraith lodge]

Ah OK then that must be mods or I wonder if you at your base and a bit of a distance can get the build piece and run to corvette and see if it attatches?

[tame idol]

yeah this usually happens if you switch from a normal ship to a corvette

i hate how it scrambles the tech everytime

[solemn birch]

yeah its frustrating..

[pseudo charm]

the fix for that is on experimental and coming. But do make sure you report that its happening just so they know!

[hardy oracle]

#nms-showcase-corvettes

[rugged jolt]

Anyone know why base parts sometimes do not stick to the ship when you take off?

[hardy oracle]

HAven't had it happen to me, but maybe you're building things in range of a base and the game doesn't know you intended it to be part of the ship?

[rugged jolt]

Its in the station so that can't be it

[wraith lodge]

Lol I put a ceiling light on the back of mine , and only see it when warping ... otherwise invisible

The pirate flag stays on no prob

[sharp plinth]

it's literally frigate size xd

[rugged jolt]

This is the one that I wanted more part space for 😂

[limpid karma]

cool

[rugged jolt]

I'd have to fill the circled part with base parts. But as you can see where I pointed the arrows, theres the risk of missing parts flying off

[rapid skiff]

wow... they dont have the "one more rip and andy is done with me" gif?

plenty of toy story gifs, not that one

[vestal pumice]

Has anyone managed to build the Jupiter 4 from netflixs lost in space yet?

[oblique spear]

Is there any way to access the buildable ship storage from outside the ship?

[rapid skiff]

i think you can if you are standing directly on the habs

i know you can access them through "the floor" if they are on a lower level hab

[oblique spear]

but not like when you are a lil away from your ship?

[rapid skiff]

no, not from any menu that ive seen

[hardy oracle]

The storage isn't part of the ship to begin with. It's actually your own inventory, the container is just a way to open it. You can access it through any of the ways you interact with storage containers. The easiest is with a freighter with the matter beam module

[rapid skiff]

i mean... technically at your base or in the freighter is "outside" the ship 😛

[hardy oracle]

As long as you have a freighter in the same system you can interact with all the containers as if you were standing next to them. You do NOT have to be in your freighter. It could be orbiting another planet entirely

[rapid skiff]

oo there you go

dont actually have a freighter yet 😛

been putting it off cus i cant find a good one

[hardy oracle]

It's just in the inventory menu, easily accessible with a separate tab. No need to actually interact with anything

[rapid skiff]

to be fair... havent been looking hard

[abstract crow]

Just build. Don't like it? Start deleting and build again.

[hardy oracle]

You shouldn't put it off, because everything you build inside your freighter gets moved over to the next freighter you get. No effort lost (though storage size upgrades are lost)

[rapid skiff]

but only the first one is free though?

if im gonna get a freebie, im not gonna waste it on a c

[hardy oracle]

They're really not that expensive

[oblique spear]

Im over 10 hours in and i still dont have a freighter lol

[rapid skiff]

lol... im at almost 100 hours 😛

[hardy oracle]

Putting off a major gameplay improvement to save a few minutes worth of units is silly

[frail sphinx]

I have 70 hours and I only have C

[rose harbor]

Can someone help me? I'm trying to follow a corvette guide but one step has me stumped

[oblique spear]

What step?

[frail sphinx]

Build your own

Wing it

It’s better when it is yours

Don’t say I am a bad builder

[rapid skiff]

heh, he says "wing it" but every corvette ive built has been "faster" without wings 😛

[rose harbor]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1ngmsdn/build_guide_for_cramming_parts_tightly_into_my/

https://i.redd.it/x1tvp4xdl3pf1.jpg

[rapid skiff]

i try to put wings and aesthetics on my ships... but every time i see the mobility drop... it drives me crazy

[rose harbor]

I can't figure out how to use the shield snapping technique to achieve that reactor location

[hardy oracle]

That picture seems to suggest that there is an earlier step in the guide, try checking that?

[rose harbor]

I know, but I am dumb

[hardy oracle]

I don't know what the shield snapping technique is. Maybe it's just the same thing as using trims to do diagonal offsets? In that case just place the shield or trim on the side of a hab, then move the hab and snap it on a different side of the trim

[buoyant bear]

In the expedition can i not purchase the corupt sentinel ship i just fixed?

[hardy oracle]

Might also work when snapping those particular reactors too, I think those may have snap points all over

I think non-corvette ships are disabled in the current expedition to encourage corvette-building

[limpid karma]

is there a way to add a hab only half down and not half forward or half to the side

[oblique spear]

thats weird, only one works

[limpid karma]

its normal

not intended obviously

[rugged jolt]

Fixed up the back a bit (still missing some of the rear decorations on the ring. Also realized how MASSIVE this thing is...

the parts that are missing are those white decorations I'm using as "thrusters" (they're actually lamps)

They don't want to come on the voyage and stay at the station when in flight

Do you guys think I should make the ring out of entirely habs or keep the scaffolding?

[buoyant bear]

would anyone know if i the corvette can be carried to main save after the expidition ends?

[rugged jolt]

Or maybe darker scaffolding

[compact basin]

Yeah

It can be

Or at least fabricated

[rugged jolt]

wait I'm missing lights on the side too????/

This doesn't make sense

[hardy oracle]

You are trying to use the system for something it wasn't designed to handle, so it isn't that surprising that things break.

[rugged jolt]

What I don't get is the inconsistency

[hardy oracle]

Sounds like a numbers thing to me. Maybe you're going over some sort of cap and the game struggles to remember everything. So whatever it reads after a certain point is getting ignored?

[rapid skiff]

wait... a few MINUTES? they cost tens of millions, the hell are you doing to get tens of millions in minutes? only thing i can think of isnt legit gameplay

[hardy oracle]

You do get to trade in your existing freighter though, you don't pay the entire cost. It is entirely possible that I have a poor grasp of the value of things though 🙂

[rapid skiff]

huh, i tried making a "big" corvette, and i didnt like it, but even stripping off everything but the "essential parts", its still as good or better than my last one 😕

[boreal drum]

So I already did the IMS Draconis from my favorite FPS, Titanfall 2. Now... I'm gonna do The Black Omen from my favorite JRPG Chrono Trigger. I'm gonna base it on this image I found

[rapid skiff]

looks... like it will take a while 😛

[boreal drum]

I'm still in the process of gathering parts lol

[rapid skiff]

i can imagine

keep in mind, you can also trade in parts you have for parts you want/need. a lot of people seem to forget that

[pure dust]

Evening guys, can anyone help me out with the Hitchhiking Milestone?

[rapid skiff]

im done with expedition, or i would

[abstract crow]

Butt, gas, or grass. Nobody rides free.

[stone sinew]

I'm techinically done with it too, but I think I still have the save file. I'll double check...

[sharp plinth]

we need 2x1 details

not only 1x2

[stone sinew]

@pure dust Yup, I should be good. 🙂

[wet iris]

I'm not good at this, but this is my first corvette and kinda happy with it.

[stone sinew]

Ooh! Looks nice!

[pure dust]

Great are you on steam?

[stone sinew]

Indeed I am.

[pure dust]

Alright can we meet up in the Anomaly ?

[stone sinew]

I've had to make some adjustments to mine, but I liked how mine turned out too. 🙂

[wet iris]

I wanted to make it a bit like the Rifter in EVE Online.

[stone sinew]

Meet you there.

[rapid skiff]

huh... i thought mods gave higher bonuses the higher tier they are, then why am i getting more damage with adjacency next to a b, than an s?

[rapid skiff]

thats a single hab right? pretty cool

[stone sinew]

Sadly no, it's using 4, possibly 5. It could be outfitted to use only one though.

[rapid skiff]

huh? how is something with 4 habs that small?

oh, they are all in a square?

i see

[stone sinew]

I did a pretty good job at hiding them. But yes, basically. More like an upside down T shape.

[pure dust]

Do you have the ame ingame name?

[rapid skiff]

cool, fyi, you can also use the thunderbird landing bay to connect habs

[stone sinew]

My IGN is the same as my Disc name.

[crisp merlin]

guys i thou sheer kliping magic got into a segment of my corvette with no exits and my inventory has nothing

[stone sinew]

@pure dust I'm on the anomaly, but I don't see you here.

[pure dust]

Yea can't fine you too. Let me add you to my steam friendslist

[stone sinew]

There's another way we can do this.

[rapid skiff]

relog, it will put you outside your ship

[pure dust]

Tell me

[crisp merlin]

good thanks

[stone sinew]

Are you in the system with the 5th rendezvous, or a different one?

[crisp merlin]

good in in normal corvette segment again

[stone sinew]

Also, let's move this to the #nms-expedition chat so we don't keep spamming this one.

[wet iris]

Is it possible to use the short range teleporters for bases in the corvette? It's annoying running in stairs -_-

[solid bane]

I think so

[boreal drum]

Not working for me

[idle oxide]

I'd like to make a sort of derelict-themed corvette, anyone know what parts would be optimal for this? Ive already started by adding things like detoxified slime and I'm trying to find a way to get a wriggling companion without the base showing.

[hardy badge]

@eternal pumice Is this part of a corvette discussion? Or meant for #nms-showcase-corvettes

[eternal pumice]

oh yeah. my message didnt send.

i was wondering if you guys thought this would look better in a different colour

i tried the beigish one but then it looked like a big green space turd and i have tried one of the reds but it didnt seem right either

also. i was woindering if next update they could add a build option for the inside to just buld a plain interion wall instead of having to build a crew birth or somthing to get rid of a doorway cleanly

[tepid valve]

Is there a way to flip the Arcadia wing module backwards?

[abstract crow]

Glitch.

[tepid valve]

I figured, but what kind of glitch and how

[abstract crow]

You'll have to dig for the videos

[tepid valve]

Damn

[eternal pumice]

ik. it sucks

wish you could flip the wings more

id like to have vertical wings

[raw wraith]

Choose stairs
Rotate stairs
Enter corvette workshop
Click hab where stairs is.
Rotate hab.
Add wings
Rotate hab again.

[abstract crow]

It's not hard to do once you find the YouTube tutorial.

[eternal pumice]

i dont want glitches or sum shit

[abstract crow]

Well then suffer, I guess.

[eternal pumice]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[sharp plinth]

Admins never sleep

[abstract crow]

They're only human. Except Gunter.

[round quartz]

my corvette just got deleted and replaced by the default one at the start of the game

[boreal drum]

There isn't a default corvette?

[round quartz]

the default starship

[rancid lichen]

how do i use the teleport cable for the short range teleporter? i cant seem to be able to connect it to the teleporters

[boreal drum]

if it's in a corvette, I don't think you can

[round quartz]

it just got replaced by this thing

[round quartz]

my corvette glitched and deleted itself and when I tried calling it it spawned that thing 😭

[wraith quiver]

oof

[abstract crow]

Huge upgrade, tbh

[wraith quiver]

the landing thrusters seem to fit snug in these wing parts

[swift mist]

I swear there's a way to use the camera to place decor on a corvette rather than walking around

[meager geyser]

I take it it's a certain height to skydive because I was just blown a cloud jumped out and all I did was fall

[eternal pumice]

wow. thats awsome

[feral solar]

Wait do I get to keep my corvette after the event ends?

[raw wraith]

You asked if there's a way. If you don't want the way, then no.

[feral solar]

Or is the corvette separate from the event?

[idle ore]

WE LOVE GLITCHES!!!!

[wraith quiver]

thats thw one i gotta learn there is the one that lets me delete stuff lol im sure thers a vid ill find later

[idle ore]

SO DAMN EASY way easier then shifting part inside each other 🙂

[signal flare]

the corvette equivalent of those sentinel ships that only have landing gear and no other parts

[abstract crow]

The gnat. Corvette version of the USB.

[glass cloak]

An existing corvette goes into storage or the like when you build a new one, right?

[feral solar]

Nvm just looked it up the Corvette is separate from the Expedition. Yay :)

[idle ore]

if you choose a different spot, no 🙂
if you choose the same spot, yes

thats how you glitch parts away haha

[glass cloak]

Don't want to glitch anything. Just spent a couple of hours on a salvage planet finding parts in my exocraft, and I want to toy around with a new design.

[feral solar]

Yk something about the Corvette (I'm new to the corvette update, I'm returning to the game from like 2021) is that it is oddly tranquil and weirdly feels better than just flying a normal ship.

[idle ore]

HERE YOU GO

[foggy cape]

why are there normal parts here

[foggy cape]

what are those parts like the ambrasador heavy thing its a mod?

[long pawn]

I've been there myself. Just take a break. Eat a snack. Do something else for a bit. Then, come back to it when your head's clearer.

[idle ore]

ignore them 🙂 its unreleased dev stuff

[vestal lichen]

This Hitchhiker optional objective to ride in someone elses corvette is griefing me hard. Anyone have tips on making it work? I've joined some random people's groups... but either their ships don't even load, or they do but when they take off I get left behind...

[foggy cape]

wdym

[vestal lichen]

Or should this just be about construction? I dunno, sorry

[wraith quiver]

How’d you get those other parts like the ambassador thruster

[foggy cape]

how do i fix this

[abstract crow]

HAX!

[foggy cape]

i wanna get rid of that part

the on on the first picture thats above the 2 yellow lines

but when i got to the editor

its not there

[long pawn]

Went crazy with the windows on this one before I found out you could add them internally and avoid the item count. Oops.

[swift mist]

does restarting game or reloading save do anything?

[foggy cape]

nah

ive had this problem for days now

when i save the game in those save points it pops back

but when I go to modify my crovet its just not there

[rapid skiff]

huh... never seen a red laser like the npc's have. is there a way to get that? Like a mining laser?

[sharp plinth]

Wtf is internal landing bay and others strange things?

[swift mist]

how about if you put something in that piece's place, save modification, then go back to modify to remove the replacement

[signal kernel]

Does anyone know how to make the front pointy like a fighter

[rapid skiff]

internal? you mean the thunderbirb?

[wraith quiver]

theres a glitch to be able to move a "half block"

[rapid skiff]

snap points... lots of snap points 😛

[idle ore]

some dev stuff, mostly not working 🙂

[signal kernel]

Can i get a tutoiral my brain exploded today trying to figure it out

[prime forum]

Do the Ship upgrades i get at the anomaly work with the corvettes or do i need to get different once?

[signal kernel]

Yes how

[abstract crow]

Look up the offset glitch.

[sharp plinth]

Oh, ok

[abstract crow]

Takes some messing around, but you'll figure it out.

[rapid skiff]

so essentially, you can place turrets and i think shield gen on the sides of some reactors(medusa works best for me) then snap things to those

[signal kernel]

Pls enlighten me with a tutorial if u could

[rapid skiff]

huh, never seen that. maybe its one of those currently unreleased things

[wraith quiver]

offset glitch look up the video. Or just place this thing on an object, and then move that object around this ducting outlet and it should move half a block

[rapid skiff]

mmm, my shovel head 😛

[idle ore]

same gose with one of the shields 😛

[cosmic otter]

so this might be a very stupid question but can i not buy parts and trade them back for other parts ?

[rapid skiff]

no, the storebought parts cant be traded

[boreal gale]

does anyone know how to get the plasma core or the coolant distributor? i've been searching for hours now and can't seem to find it in any salvage caches

[rapid skiff]

you can trade them if you find those same parts from scavenging, but the store parts have a code on them that prevents it

[rapid skiff]

are you in a pirate system? 3star/high tech system?

those have better chances to drop the uncommon parts

[boreal gale]

aaaaah, omg thank you, been trying for hours now, but i'll see if i can't find them in a pirate system then 😄

[rapid skiff]

not gonna "guarantee" you will find them. but certain pieces are better found in pirate systems.

[boreal gale]

alrighty, i'll try at least 😛

[signal kernel]

Unable to find the video do u perhaps have the link u could share

[rapid skiff]

i got lucky and had a high tech pirate system on my expedition run, got lots of neat stuff

[signal kernel]

Like a gek baddie?

[wraith quiver]

i never found a video myself tbh, i just used the part i sent you, attached it to an object, and then moved the object around it

[signal kernel]

Trying isnt working maybe i am doing it wrong

[rapid skiff]

dont remember, pretty sure it just said Pirate/high tech

[wraith quiver]

drop a hab. place this on top or on the side. select the hab and then move it.

[signal kernel]

Could u make me a tutorial if its fine for u

[wraith quiver]

it should be off kilter a bit

uhhh lemme see

[eternal pumice]

a normal way

[golden radish]

is there an easy glitch to flip the arcadia wing module front-to-back?

[wraith quiver]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1n4rh4f/easy_and_useful_corvette_glitch_building_technique/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[rapid skiff]

anyone else have an issue with phase beams? i have a bunch of the heat efficiency mods, but it still shuts off at only 7-8%, temporarily, but its still annoying

[wraith quiver]

Ain’t no way you tried to look for a tutorial lmfao

[rapid skiff]

yeah, they are all over the place rn

[abstract crow]

Could pin them to the channel, too.

[rapid skiff]

look up "no man's sky corvette" on youtube and the first option almost certainly going to be a building tutorial 😛

[sage crane]

hardest part was placing the sail

[small plaza]

Sorry, I was taking a nap before work I'll at least try to write out the steps tomorrow

[rapid skiff]

heh bruh, it looks like your slide projector screen broke mid-unroll 😛

[upbeat orbit]

part of me wants to build a comabt corvette that looks like this

or close to it

[wraith quiver]

thats a sick idea.

[signal kernel]

Ty i go try this now

[rapid skiff]

yeah, wing shapes are a bit annoying with the build system, but possible with work

[small plaza]

I tried to do this but every time I do place the hab over the left piece through glitch I just can't place the right triangle, it won't snap in place

[sage crane]

@glossy iron thanks for the help, i was trying to build something similar

[wraith quiver]

make sure theres something connecting to the face opposite of the pointer.

[small plaza]

[wraith quiver]

yeah that sucked to read i bet hang on lol

[primal flare]

erm

[wraith quiver]

like try to make snapping points all around it. if it wont snap to the bottom, have it snap to the top of something else idk how to say it lmfao and recording is bugging rn

[small plaza]

I'll try tomorrow

I'm at work rn

[small plaza]

Oooh okay

I tried to snap it to the side right where the left triangle was

I should've placed the hab below instead

[feral solar]

Wait can I move around in my corvette while in hyperdrive?

[wraith quiver]

ok exactly so those arent snapping to eachother, theyre snapping to whats behind them.

get what i mean?

cos i suck at typing thoughts sometimes lol

[small plaza]

Yes, activate autopilot through the x menu

But it's kinda buggy, left me behind a couple times

But you can immediately call the ship back through the x menu again

[rapid skiff]

havent seen this before, is that like a pirate hideout or something?

[small plaza]

Yeah, thanks

[feral solar]

Between star systems too right?

[small plaza]

No

The star system hop is a loading menu

Can't do anything during it

Never could

[feral solar]

Alright. That sucks lol, wish there was functionality for that. I imagine it would be kinda easy to close something like that but there probably is something that stops it from happening. I'll put it in suggestions then.

[lunar reef]

Before...

[odd trellis]

Cool, i have to thank you ❤️

[lunar reef]

After!

Ship is still a WIP, which is why I'm posting it here.

I'm trying to fine tune things still.

[small plaza]

But you can put it on autopilot during the pulse while moving between planets and such

[exotic pulsar]

Looks like it’s made of LEGO

Way way too many pieces pushed together for me

[small plaza]

Or you can just select an autopilot target and it'll align and pulse jump itself

[lunar reef]

I see what you mean with it looking like its made out of Lego. However, I'm doing what I can do, so to ensure the thing looks like something that Batman would want to fly.

[hoary crater]

So, you guys with a crazy ton of habs, how the hell are you doing that, it's like crazy units to expand ship storage

[exotic pulsar]

He’d never fly something THAT big, but I get the vibe

[feral solar]

I mean I discovered that accidentally already. I was just wondering about jumping between star systems. I guess we should wait for future updates before that's possible.

[small plaza]

Only 3 pieces of an item count towards tech

[hoary crater]

Ok, what you mean by this?

[lunar reef]

I was thinking about something that he would take the Entire Bat Family in.

[small plaza]

Basically if you have around 15 habs like my corvette, only 3 habs show up in the tech slot and give 3 cargo slots each. The rest are "cosmetic" (but still useable as habs to place down storage racks, refinery, kitchenette etc)

[hoary crater]

So, anything past 3 is good

[wraith quiver]

lmfao

[small plaza]

[wraith quiver]

Show me builds that you all are using the landing thrusters on. (the rotating ones)

i built my jet and im not touching that anymore lol i need to make something CHONKY.

[neon mica]

So for corvettes to start off I just need to find salvage?

[errant thicket]

I can get a base computer on my ship😵 but like i cant get anything else anyone know if its still possible to do

Might as well

[autumn panther]

I keep going back and forth do I want a big corvette or a small one as my Main ship

[abstract crow]

Big.

[small plaza]

[primal flare]

yeah no you cant park there game

[abstract crow]

Big corvettes are a must.

[small plaza]

Kinda like that design

[lament abyss]

@pine dagger

No gifs in this channel please

[idle ore]

you can ALWAYS interact with the hatch, but you need to go closer 😛

[nimble stirrup]

Please don't try to bypass our gif filter @pine dagger

[primal flare]

i name her tutel

[pine dagger]

Ohh i had no idea it was like that. I thought is was only direct gifs 😂

Why is it like that tho?

[wild wolf]

Nice. Tutel is w ship

[nimble stirrup]

Gifs can be very difficult to moderate, because their naming can be totally unrelated to their actual content.

[pine dagger]

I see

[small plaza]

Don't let germans get to her

I didn't even know neuro had that emote

Amazing

You know what I want

BVR instead of WW2 ass dogfighting

Why are we fighting like it's 1942 in 3035

[stark harness]

Does anyone have advice on making corvette layouts? .
After discovering that large corvettes are super hard to make look good. I wanna leverage my micro building skills for a smaller ship

[small plaza]

What are you planning on putting inside your ship?

[pine dagger]

I just made a big chunck of metal with 3 of each system (until it says there are no more bonus)

[stark harness]

I want it small, but also big enough to act as an actual base

I want the base amenities that ive been missing out on by never settling down anywhere.

So I want it to look good

[echo rover]

Ship number 2, little more combaty

[small plaza]

Refinery, kitchenette, storage... Hydroponics?

[primal flare]

don't let her chonky appearence fool you she can out maneuver and break ankles surprisingly (typical s-class stats)

[stark harness]

Yes!
I wanna get my star trek on with this one

[small plaza]

You need around 18 habs at minimum

I'm also aiming for the same thing

[primal flare]

ngl i used less than 20 main parts and the rest are just decor parts until max limit wake up

[small plaza]

#nms-corvette-discussion message this ship has the minimum for a decent full base

[stark harness]

Maybe we could leverage stairs a little?

I noticed people arent using them.

Multilevel ship vibes

[small plaza]

That ship is two story tall

I'm going to try to make a larger one tomorrow

[stark harness]

What I want in mine

• Bedroom (save point)
• Survey Room (radar)
• Cargo Container (the storages)
• Engine Room (refiner and anti-matter generator)
• Kitchen (cooking)
• Mission preparation (multitool rack)
• Green house (plants)
• Command deck (double windows and the cockpit)
• Computer Core

[small plaza]

We're going to need to properly plan this

[stark harness]

Some this can be solved by sharing habs or connecting 2 walkways

I also just found out rotated habs dont connect properly :(

[small plaza]

Sadly

You can kinda make it by placing two walkways side by side

[stark harness]

I was thinking of making my ship some sort of salvage vibe. Where it looks like its all parts of different ships
But its hard to actually lay it out on the hypothetical paper

[small plaza]

Oof, I want a cleaner look, like a purpose built ship from some mainline manufacturer

[pine dagger]

Ohh they added back doors for the freighter teleporters when you come from the corvette tp

[small plaza]

Maybe a class of ships for the exploration market, or a long range military ship like you'd see in Star Trek. Odyssey, Galaxy, Sovereign etc

[stark cedar]

A vehicle bag should be added

Bay*

For extracts n stuff

Exocrafts*

[cosmic otter]

that is similiar to my ship ( kinda ish )

though i can't choose what color i want

does anyone have recommendations?

[small plaza]

Wdym

[cosmic otter]

what color to make my corvette

[stark harness]

I got really inspired by the roach from the subreddit.
As well as the derivatives people have been making.

[small plaza]

Black and blue reverse colour and black and gold trim

[small plaza]

Hmm

[olive dust]

In Eve Online, that would be a Minmatar ship. All copped together from scrap. Their motto is "In Rust We Trust".

[small plaza]

Spit and duct tape

I like

[olive dust]

I've seen some builds that looked distictly Megathron.

[stark harness]

Oooooooo
I like it!
I wanna see if i can take some inspiration from that and The Roach (at least for the roaches shape language)

[eager trail]

Has anyone figured out how the stats work yet

[olive dust]

I must look into this roach.

parts seem to affect the buffs of other parts, some parts don't increase

[stark harness]

@olive dust

[eager trail]

How do corv stats actually work

[echo rover]

I dig it! Yours looks more sleek

[olive dust]

Thank you.

[wraith quiver]

thats sick

[eager trail]

Reason I ask is, I keep putting Ceto-class reactors on my ship, but they don't do anything

Or at least the numbers don't change

[small plaza]

Roach x Hurricane mix

[olive dust]

In those colours it looks like an A-Wing.

[rancid sedge]

so can you build base stuff on the ships without being on the ground or can it be done at the corvette station? :-p

[stark harness]

Whats the hurricane?

[wraith quiver]

used the little feetsies but idk if i like it after all. hopefully someday we get individual thrusters that rotate

[small plaza]

Minmatar ship was THE pvp battlecruiser when I played

[feral mountain]

the gamble is being so mean to me</3 /lh

[small plaza]

Pulse drive, gun, hyperdrive?

[stark harness]

How do we get the gentle slope tho?
Otherwise it'll look like a helldivers super destroyer

[small plaza]

Berry hard

[oak lagoon]

How are people getting custom decals on their Corvettes? Like the nokia one and the lightning McQueen one?

[abstract crow]

Kerchow

[eager trail]

There are not enough corvette tech slots.
All of the blacked out stuff are pre-building upgrades, meaning, before I've even started building the ship, each of those slots is a tech upgrade for regular star ships.

The non-blacked out spaces are what is left for when you actually BUILD your corv

Which is barely anything

Physical parts should have their own inventory

Tech slots, part slots, cargo

[pine dagger]

I made it almost entirelly of build blocks 😂

[eager trail]

Build parts taking up a tech slot makes optimizing impossible

[rancid sedge]

i need those hover pads

[eager trail]

This is what I'm saying
You can either get your tech from the build parts, or the tech upgrades
but you cannot have both

there isn't enough space

[rancid sedge]

i havent even tried to roll for stuff.. hmm

[eager trail]

I don't understand why our physical ship parts have to cut into our tech slot space, and vice versa

Call the third inventory "internals" or "framework" or "logistics" or whatever

[pine dagger]

Probably because there would be no point in having any other ship if both ship parts and tech stack bonuses

[eager trail]

but we need a third inventory for corvettes

[eager trail]

they already do

just not optimally

[pine dagger]

I mean the normal amount of techs + all the physical parts

[eager trail]

I would say "we need a third inventory for freighters" which are vastly larger
But there are so few upgrades for them that it'd be wasted space

[oak lagoon]

How are people getting custom decals on their Corvettes? Like the nokia one and the lightning McQueen one?

[wraith quiver]

If they add orbital probe in the corvettes, my freighter crew won’t see me for a whiiiiiile

[wraith quiver]

They’re decorations like stickers you can get at the anomaly

[small plaza]

Orbital probe, exocraft bay

[oak lagoon]

So what do they just get plain ones and then stick them together and make designs?

[wraith quiver]

you can use your exosuit for that

[grand lion]

Ended up with this

[neon bay]

Oh damn that looks good

[supple willow]

Camo green or a nice red

[limpid karma]

are the paneled windows different for each hab

[supple willow]

lol

Your turtle does what it wants

[supple willow]

Yes

[eager trail]

This would make things so much easier

Physical parts separate, tech upgrades seperate

three inventories, cargo, tech, frame

[small plaza]

Why are you guys putting 3 of every reactor

[eager trail]

Because min-maxing

[supple willow]

Nice

[eager trail]

If you want to push a corvette to the absolute best it can be, you would need everything in the tech inventory AND everything in the Frame inventory

But as of right now there's not enough room for that

[small plaza]

[eager trail]

Which is why tech and physical parts should be separated

Not least because it limits building creativity

[supple willow]

I feel the same way about Xbox not having mods

[eager trail]

If you're constantly worrying about what parts are going to take up space in your tech slots you can't build the corvette the way you want

[supple willow]

I wish

[eager trail]

with this "frame" inventory you put all the essentials first, hide them somewhere or show them off on the corvette

THEN you install tech upgrades

for further tuning

Everything in the "Frame" inventory is necessary to have a corvette that's got maximum base stats before tech upgrades

But again, you can't do this, because tech and parts share an inventory which makes no sense

In otherwords:

this is what corvettes should be ⬆️

This is what they are right now
⬇️

It's a mess

[junior current]

Is this a pretty-looking frame to build off from?

LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK

[bold escarp]

how do pople go over complexity limit?

[tepid valve]

Are we vibing with this color scheme?

I was thinking of a grey and orange color scheme, but I want a second opinion

[abstract crow]

Slowly but surely, my Star Destroyer-inspired design is taking shape. Won't be a true SD design, but it will have a similar profile, apart from the bridge.

[small plaza]

Federal Corvette?

[vivid saffron]

Anyone down for a ship meet lol

[golden radish]

are those arcadia wings flipped forward i see? Is this modded or is it possible vanilla?

oh wait no, those are the diffuser thingies, aren't they? forgot their exact name

[abstract crow]

Thinking of calling it a Eclipse-class corvette.

And yes, Arcadia wings. Glitch, not modded.

[small plaza]

Is it going to be a limitless build or...?

[abstract crow]

Kind of a pain in the ass to set them up, but doable.

[golden radish]

can you share the technique please? i've been trying to figure out how to flip them

[abstract crow]

For me, absolutely. But I'm sure you could still do a good design with the 100 part limit.

[small plaza]

After what happened to that dude's SD I uninstalled the limit remover mod

[abstract crow]

You're going to have to dig into the videos shared in this channel. Offset glitch and whatever you can find that talks about inverting/rotating parts.

I've had no issues so far with the limit remover mod. Granted, I haven't done a TON of flying around with these things. Mostly building them and my new base.

Its going to be a serious pain to make the gradual increase in angle size work on this thing. Lotta glitch building and messing with misc. Parts to see what works.

[eager trail]

Just to put it into perspective, everything on this corvette would be required to optimize base stats before installing any tech upgrades.
Obviously there's no way this much would fit into just the tech inventory if you added tech upgrades on top of it
To maximize your corvette, you would need three inventories, one of which contains all the essential parts you see here

If I tried to put my best tech upgrades on this corvette, there's no way they would fit, because all these parts take up a tech slot

[golden radish]

I think i've found the relevant video, it doesn't look easy to get right it seems

[abstract crow]

Both glitches on their own aren't bad. But combining them sucked for me until I figured out that I only needed a single hab and not two.

[junior current]

Project is starting to come together, I think

I feel like there's gotta be a better way to do some parts of this, lol

[regal sapphire]

My Corvette, Post-Expedition.
Design-Wise I was kind of going half-way between a UNSC frigate and a Super-Destroyer.

[small plaza]

I'm looking at star field builds to get inspiration

Why all 4 guns

[regal sapphire]

No self-respecting Helldiver would be caught dead in an under-armed vessel, Soldier.

[eager trail]

I'm guessing you don't do a lot of minmaxing lol

[small plaza]

With the way game works, putting too many types of guns on one ship actually makes you more under armed adapt and overcome

[regal sapphire]

I just like having lots of guns.
It makes the ship look cool.

[eager trail]

How do you figure

[small plaza]

Alright

[small plaza]

The stat on the upper right corner is not your dps

You can't fire all the weapons at once

Look at the dps stat in the weapon's tooltip

[eager trail]

No, but each weapon has a use
or at least three of them do

Phase beam for shield regeneration
Cyclotron for shorting out enemy engines
Infraknife for damage

In my eyes these three are necessary

Of course we don't have a corvette infraknife part yet

😒

[small plaza]

Can make do with just infra if you're minmaxing

[small plaza]

Can still use it

[eager trail]

Why take a chance though
Having all three ensures you never die and can always accurately target the enemy

I mean I know NMS's dogfighting isn't hard

but in theory

this is the best way

[small plaza]

I'd suggest putting photon cannon turrets as you cannot dismantle photon cannon anyway, and installing an infra knife. The weapon uses the turrets to fire still

[golden radish]

i don't mind having multiple weapons, i just wish the projectiles/beam came out of the actual selected weapon model instead of 3 random turrets for all

[small plaza]

Also there's an infra knife Corvette weapon. It's just not out yet, but it's in the files

[eager trail]

Yeah having the bullets not actually come out of the turrets is immersion breaking

[limpid karma]

i just realize how i can make a really awesome ship

[eager trail]

Ngl

[pallid bramble]

Does this look good? Was trying to make something autophage themed I think I failed the theme part

[limpid karma]

youll see it tomorrow

[small plaza]

Sometimes these "not out yet" parts drop from salvage, but you can't use them yet

[eager trail]

cargo boxes and stuff

[limpid karma]

the idea is a better version of this ship i made

[regal sapphire]

Ok, hear me out.
Forklift Corvette.

[limpid karma]

its already been done by someone else

and better than i could hope to

i have the picture but i dont know who did it

[abstract crow]

Yeah, that, the Nokia, Thomas the Tank Engine, and a few other noteworthy ones have made their rounds.

[regal sapphire]

They're FORKLIFT CERTIFIED!

[limpid karma]

i have a really good idea for the excavator though

things that once were not thought possible

[small plaza]

Your death will be in accordance with OSHA regulations

[limpid karma]

i saw another guy that made a more visually pleasing excavator but his did not include the actual scoop

it used ship parts only

i have to assume because many base parts dont work when you are placing them underneath something

theyll be half inside

[junior current]

I feel like the biggest issue here is that the side pods feel too boxy.

[wraith quiver]

theres a diff module that has a hydraulic piston in it

This is not a showcase

It's a work in progress shipbuilding project

[supple willow]

No it doesn’t look good, it looks amazing ! 👍

[junior current]

which I'm asking people for feedback or assistance with

but, I'll make sure I be more mindful, going forward.

[supple willow]

It’s butiful, if only more of the universe was forclift sertified them Maby we would see more of theses on space stations

[junior current]

Does anybody have any idea what this module Grief's referencing is called?

Found it!

[limpid karma]

its not mine

[supple willow]

Excavated corvette nice

[pallid bramble]

Thanks! It's my first ship iv done myself I was aiming for a autophage theme but failed but I just was messing around to see what fell into place since I couldn't decide on any Design

[limpid karma]

that ones mine

[supple willow]

It’s good, has it’s own style

[supple willow]

And it’s beautiful

[limpid karma]

it sucks butt

ill be making a better one

[supple willow]

It’s perfect

[limpid karma]

its not even close to the source material

[supple willow]

It’s recognizable witch is what matters

[limpid karma]

thats not what matters

it has to be good

[supple willow]

Therefore it has succeeded in its job and is perfect

[limpid karma]

for example:

these are ships ive made

[urban tangle]

my last session my cvorvette manoeubrability stat was 3.2k,,
now i logged in and not is 2.3k, whaat

[supple willow]

And these too are perfect

[supple willow]

Nice or boi plane by the way

[limpid karma]

look man im all for praise but a yellow box with a scoop on it isnt "perfect"

[supple willow]

I do suppose those parts could be improved, very well I concede my point has been disproven

[limpid karma]

im gonna go make it better now

[supple willow]

Best of luck

[limber cargo]

Honest opinions?

[exotic pulsar]

Hi yall Can you recolour the inside?

[neon bay]

Is there any way to get resources out of the corvette storage?

[wraith quiver]

lol i was sending a pic of my ship for reference

[junior current]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I feel like such a jerk now 😭

[wraith quiver]

all good my fat ass got up and finished cooking

[junior current]

haha

[wraith quiver]

i should have typed it out for ya lol but glad you found it

[junior current]

well in any case, that ship you sent looks pretty good

[wraith quiver]

thanks man those hydralic arm looking parts are real fun to work with

[junior current]

the hoverblades do create some spacing between the rest of the frame

[wraith quiver]

you can always use the offset glitching method to bring things closer together

[junior current]

ohh

like this thing?

[wraith quiver]

YES

[junior current]

right now I'm using Hull Linkage, but those might be better to use instead

[wraith quiver]

thats the piece. and what i did was bring it half a unit inward so that the wingtip thruster was closer to the center

IDK with those two sides being so chunky i honestly do like the linkage look too

[junior current]

that's fair

[noble drift]

GUYS MY STUPID CORVETTE WON'T LET ME IN THE COCKPIT THERE'S A WALL THERE PLEASE HELP

[zealous willow]

Theres a wall?

[noble drift]

Yes, it spawns in front on the cockpit door

[zealous willow]

Maybe u accidentally overlapped a part

Or didnt attach the hull to the cockpit

[noble drift]

Nah, I checked everything the cockpit and walkway are connected right

[zealous willow]

Did u place a part accidentally on the entrance

Happened to me once

[noble drift]

Wdym on the entrance?

[zealous willow]

Idk how to put this

On the wall that connects the cockpit to the walkway i guess?

U can overlap somethings sometimes

While building

[noble drift]

Oh, yeah, not that I can see

[zealous willow]

Then idk man, maybe try closing and opening the game

Maybe its just a bug

[noble drift]

I've closed and reopened it and switched from consol to pc 😭😭😭

[zealous willow]

Is it a walkway or a living space?

[noble drift]

I've tried both

[zealous willow]

I think that matters, im not sure though since im new myself too

[noble drift]

Currently its a walkway

IN MY DEFENSE IT DIDNT LOOK LIKE IT FROM THE OUTSIDE

[lofty grove]

Has anyone had an issue with their Corvette turning into a different ship type? I was doing a Corvette multiplayer mission, and my Corvette became a Sentinel Interceptor on the summon menu. It kept the name, but remained a Sentinel even after summoning. Now my ship collection also says it's an Interceptor.

[zealous willow]

Spent a good 5 min messing about until i figured it out

[zealous willow]

No i understand, its just funny to me since i had that same problem just a couple hours ago, glad we found out what it was

[noble drift]

Well, I spent way too much time looking for a solution 😭😭😭

[zealous willow]

Try reloading the game

?

Why is it that i can squeeze a a gun on the left side of the ship but i can't do the same on the symmetrical right side? Right now it would snap on the wrong spot

[lofty grove]

no dice, unfortunately

[zealous willow]

No clue what it could be otherwise, sorry bro

[buoyant orchid]

I am more than ready to try glitching, move on to mods, etc., but I'm pretty impressed with what you can make with the given limitations, even with all basic parts.

First corvette, all basic parts, exactly 100 pieces... I'm quite satisfied. Even managed an embedded cockpit, lol.

[spare knoll]

So, in a creative save with a bit of save editing to save time, this is the highest I could get the hyperdrive range of a corvette. It's not perfect, I got a pretty low roll on the zenith modules and maybe there's a better layout for adjacency, but I think it's close. Doesn't seem like they can reach 4000ly.

[buoyant orchid]

is the volume under it also symmetrical? Either that or the camera angle might just make it tough to snap there?

[clever pendant]

what should I put in this room? I cant put modules in it unfortunately

[bleak condor]

I wonder how big of a Corvette you can make

[lunar dove]

Anyone notice corvette rockhopper wings sometimes just don’t work?

notice the wing on the lefts thrusters arent doing anything

[ivory heart]

without mods ive gotten AT MOST 28 modules long

and it starts to get extremely hard to place more after 26

[primal flare]

amount of visual effects are capped unfortunately. and at really low limit

[ivory heart]

this is how long 26 is

[primal flare]

you can use certain mod to increase the cap tho

@lunar dove

[ivory heart]

well sure but mods can fix many a problem, i often find it more fun, when given at least some solution method, to use that instead :P

[limpid karma]

i know which one i like more

@supple willow

[ivory heart]

you can use deco on the exterior of your hull, do with this what you will

[golden radish]

the ship was symmetrical in all aspects, it just wouldn't fit between the right industrial linkage and speedbird nacelle, when the left one fit just fine. Anyway, i changed the design so i placed them differently.

[ivory heart]

the SDS UwU-cthulhu, at your service despite your pleading 🤣

working on a less joke-prone hull atm

[primal flare]

you can hardly do much about it in this case. although there is a possible vanilla fix but you'd be pretty much forced to make your corvette miniature

whick kinda sucks if you wanna decorate a lot

[ivory heart]

uhhhhh

[deep mantle]

amazing

[ivory heart]

ive gotten an additional 10 grid slots through big brain engineering

in length

[primal flare]

oh i mean visual effect issue

[ivory heart]

oohhh that one

[primal flare]

every commonly has including me

[ivory heart]

theres probably an engine config file somewhere that sets emitter limits you can edit without actually modding the game, at least an 80% chance of that existing (probably near the rest of the graphics, keybinds, and resolution settings)

its a proprietary engine though which does skew it closer to the 20% non existence chance unfortunately

[primal flare]

nms engine structure is extremely weird unfortunately

everything is compiled so the safest way to actually make engine changes is through a mod

which the game already supports dedicated modding

[ivory heart]

dont get me wrong im not talking about modifying the engine itself, but the equivalent to its gameusersettings.ini file

(that is what the unreal engine version is called iirc)

ye, probably easiest to just use a mod

[prisma lantern]

I give you.... Magna Tyrannus

[primal flare]

fortunately hg made a drag and drop very simple and smooth 👍

[modest swan]

there should be a button to delete all the parts that are "modules must be connected", when i can fly my ship just fine but cant even edit things.

i also notice some decals are floating in the air which makes them uncomnected after i delete parts which has decals, sometimes its just best to build the corvette to be very modest just to avoid rebuilding from scratch (4 times i just gave up and scrap my corvette because of invisible unconnected modules lol)

[ivory heart]

thats quite a name for such a lil lad 🤣

[small plaza]

[ivory heart]

im gonna go broke just building the modules to outline my hull 😩

ugh what the heck (there we go, i type :weary->tab to autocomplete and it hits me with a horrified cat person emoji)

[prisma lantern]

Lol... hey lay off. I asked google AI for the most evil space ship name and i full on went nerd mode when i read Magna Tyrannus as the response 😄

[small plaza]

Salvage hunt

Do it in a corvette

Much easier

[ivory heart]

magna (prefix for great or large)
tyrannus (latinized greek meaning absolute ruler, tyrant, king)

then we get uh

this lil fella right here 🤣

mmhmm, did that a bunch, have a chest full of modules

[prisma lantern]

I'll Change it to Parvulus Tyrannus AKA 'The Little Tyrant'

[small plaza]

Ah

[ivory heart]

11/10 nerd name

[ivory heart]

the problem is that uh

this lil feller is 26 grid modules long and even just outlining it at a SINGLE module width is enough to eat about 32 hab sections

thats with nothing else so far 😅

[dreamy lagoon]

I saw this in a YouTube tutorial but I changed some things

[ivory heart]

("MAC rounds, in atmosphere?!")

[prisma lantern]

How did that thing even fit in the space station! Yikes!

[ivory heart]

it doesnt, you are only allowed 16 grid sections length iirc

but i turned on 3 YT videos, dropped my fps cap to 30, and then cranked my mouse dpi to maximum, if you flick your mouse from a VALID placement spot, to an invalid one, if fast enough and precise in when you click, you can place where you want beyond that bounds

[golden radish]

I still can't get around not making my ships more than a single "block", but at least this is much sleeker than my previous attempts. Any suggestion for improvement? (currently sitting at 85ish/100 parts btw)

[ivory heart]

so i did that several times to get a significantly larger hull

[ivory heart]

id suggest building a basic frame out of hab modules first, and force yourself to make it have some 2 tall portions

dont worry about engines or anything else to start

[golden radish]

that's what i've been doing before, but i always end up with something chonky

[ivory heart]

you can build multiple vertical "flat" layers

or a different method if it clicks more

[small plaza]

Litany of Wrath and Imperatoris Ira are my go to ship names

[golden radish]

bottom looks like this also

[primal flare]

chonk can look nice trust 👍

[ivory heart]

1. try building out of single width "sticks" so you end up with no single area becoming a blob
2. dont try to put aero parts on yet, that can lead to attempting to streamline the whole thing into a single shape, which will end chonky
3. build a bit and ask for help, maybe go for a really long portion to make the chonkiness less in comparison

i cannot put an example together as im actively building on my own hull unfortunately

[small plaza]

The game wants you to go chunk. A properly decorated ship tends to be 2-4 blocks wider Ryan it should be

[prisma lantern]

Litany of Wrath sounds lovely - Emperor Palpatine

[small plaza]

[ivory heart]

i think ship names that take themselves too seriously often UNDERMINE their legitimacy

[limpid karma]

have you seen my 40k ships

[small plaza]

Not yet

[primal flare]

made this with just 50-60 parts ish

[prisma lantern]

You mean like.... MAGNUS TYRANNUS!

all hail

[small plaza]

Wait you made a Valkyrie and some mekboy flier

[limpid karma]

i dont have a reference image for the thunderhawk

[smoky sleet]

why do my corvettes look so ugly?

[golden radish]

I know, here, this was my expedition vette. I just wanted something more... subtle I guess?

[limpid karma]

i made a marauder bomber too

[ivory heart]

like yeah i would feel threatened by USS Harbinger, its sounds stabby and serious, but USS Lorem Ipsum xx_sniper420_xx Super Supreme Dominus sounds like a 12 year old in a COD lobby 🤣

[limpid karma]

actually that one was a vendetta and im not proud of it

[ivory heart]

or yes THE ILLUSTRIOUS MAGNUS TYRANNUS

[limpid karma]

i need to kill it

[ivory heart]

🤣

[prisma lantern]

yooo i fully thought that was a COD screenshot.... 😮

[limpid karma]

idk what that means

[ivory heart]

i believe this calls for a wilted rose emote

[golden radish]

i suppose call of dooty. Hell if i know which one

[limpid karma]

but its 40k

[prisma lantern]

Like dude not only is that build so damn good, but the background and everything is so well suited it looks like an actual warplane flying in the mountains. I thought it was a screenshot from a toally different game. Now, I'm in awe....

[tired marsh]

https://medal.tv/games/no-mans-sky/clips/l6yNtklxLSmA0IpQk?invite=cr-MSxQNVcsMjM3OTAwMjg&v=15

why is my corvette doing this bruh

[small plaza]

Shows how much I don't give a fuck about atmo fliers I thought the marauder was a Valkyrie

[limpid karma]

i think you guys are way too loose with the compliments im not gonna lie

[limpid karma]

but it look cool

[small plaza]

I like me big spessships

[tired marsh]

its only letting me use the parts when the cockpit is in the front

its so dumb

its literally the same on both sides why is it bugging out

[limpid karma]

put something hidden inside as an anchor

ive had to do that a ton

[tired marsh]

i only have basic modules

😭

[ivory heart]

they mean like basic deco

interior deco

you can put that outside your hull if standing on/near your corvette

straight up a wire deco will hold that on

[tired marsh]

ohhh

thats so scuffed

lol

[ivory heart]

but its great

opens up lots of opportunity

[tired marsh]

worked

[ivory heart]

nice ship name

[tired marsh]

for basic modules only i think i did pretty good

[tired marsh]

Thank you

final work

[prisma lantern]

NGL im just thinkin of the shadow that that thing will caste against a planet surface.

Keep it in orbit

LOL

[tired marsh]

LOL

[ivory heart]

BRUH

[prisma lantern]

I'll see myself to the door

[ivory heart]

oh god with the proportions ive managed to wrangle out of this hull, i think i might need to go to 5 modules tall

yup

[small plaza]

Ofc Bao has a bulge grab emote

I have a more fitting emote but it's genuinely 18+ lmao

[small plaza]

Are you using the delimiter mod

[ivory heart]

25 MILLION just in hab modules (the default ones you can purchase mind you)

[ivory heart]

nope!

thats the fun part

100% vanilla here

[small plaza]

You're going to run out of limit

Or well, hit the limit

[ivory heart]

the limit is 100 items, yes?

[wraith quiver]

that is mighty.

[ivory heart]

i dont believe this applies to decoration items though as i placed a rather staggering amount in my last hull and was not stopped, and i intend to make LIBERAL use of the armor panel decoration

here lemme test rn

[rapid skiff]

ok... what? I REFUSE to believe that THIS is optimal mobility. everything i try to place anywhere i try to place it makes my manoeuvrability go DOWN
this is half skeleton 😕 one good hit and half the reactors explode...

[rapid skiff]

geez dude, there is a showcase channel, thats a looong list of screenshots 😛

[ivory heart]

well over 100 decos and no limit so i think i should be ok

[rapid skiff]

yeah, the limit applies to ship structures, not "items on your ship"

[next dirge]

Oh my bad, I'm new

[rapid skiff]

its cool, i was just like... thats a lot of pics for a pint size boat

[ivory heart]

ya, which is good for me as i intend to make a lot of this ship out of those items instead of hab modules so i can have better rooms

[glass cloak]

She's ugly and lumpy and there's no real thematic structure to her. More than a few of her parts are exposed, because I'm not smart enough to know how to fully cover mechanical elements AND make something pretty. This is the Stellar Testudo.

[slow harbor]

I found a lava planet with a ocean deeper than my paradise home world.

It's extreme as well.

[glass cloak]

...she kind of looks like something old school tokusatsu.

[rapid skiff]

just fyi, you can place the windows from the interior builder and not spend "part space"

[ivory heart]

mmhmm, i am indeed aware

[rapid skiff]

if you place them from the corvette builder they count toward your space, if you place them on the interior builder they dont 🙂

[ivory heart]

i sell the window modules i get as parts too because they sell for like 175k but are NOWHERE near that expensive in material

[slow harbor]

Close enough, welcome back, Subnautica Above Boiling

[ivory heart]

subnautica
subnautica below 0

[slow harbor]

they still count just later

[ivory heart]

THIRD ENTRY leaked!

[rapid skiff]

oh?

[ivory heart]

oh thats annoying

[slow harbor]

when you go back into editing they count

[ivory heart]

ah darn

[rapid skiff]

hmmm

[ivory heart]

well i dont think ill hit the 100 cap regardless

[lunar dove]

does it really matter if reactors are exposed?

[ivory heart]

a lot of these hab modules are not going to stay, they are just for shaping

[ivory heart]

nope lol

[lunar dove]

gotcha lol

[raw wraith]

One end is intended for thrusters and one for cockpits. Unfortunately it's an oversight that loading bays only connect to one end and not the other.

[rapid skiff]

unless you are building something with like 6 layers or something that fills up the screen, ive found it fairly difficult to hit cap

but that may just be because i prefer compact

i tried building something with like 7-8 habs... it was too big for me

3-4 is my comfort

[raw wraith]

Lava planets are nice to build underwater bases on, imo cuz then you get the extreme planet but don't worry about storms.

[slow harbor]

This is literally just a subnautica biome what the hell

[ivory heart]

at 110 deg fov i cant fit my whole ship in frame from a side view, i get almost half of it at a time

[raw wraith]

Wait what?

I'll try.

[rapid skiff]

heh, i literally "skinned" my ship and it increased the mobility 😕

[ivory heart]

if only there were real threats, the first time i explored a derelict i was turning my light off, using camo to maneuver, opening doors and leaving the doorframe asap to avoid threats, but it was not in fact at all like dead space and was instead entirely unthreatening 😭

[rapid skiff]

i guess it only works until the next time you enter the editor, so they just told me

[slow harbor]

nah, i can explain that one too

[raw wraith]

I see. So you remove the windows then every time you enter the workshop. Still... Good info.

[slow harbor]

Your mobility sometimes bugs because medusa and cockpit glitch adjacency

[rapid skiff]

i guess, if you are that desperate for windows 😛

[slow harbor]

and when you "reset" the ship on edit

[wise wigeon]

Im kinda dissapointed in how buggy this new update is in reguard to the corvettes :/

[slow harbor]

it fixes

[ivory heart]

well, just windont put them next to one another like that 💀

[wary vector]

Is anyone else's Corvette just inexplicably MUCH larger than it should be?

[ivory heart]

holy crap lmao

is that like 1.5x scaled up?

[slow harbor]

its still very early into the update and yeah they 'could' polish stuff but come on, its NMS

[golden radish]

Honey, I shrunk the Traveller

[slow harbor]

we have been bugging stuff for fun for years

[wise wigeon]

Yeah I mean I still love the game and props to the devs for keeping it up this long, but this update feels extremely unpolished

[slow harbor]

we will eventually get some fixes

don't worry

did you know 80% of the game code needed to be revised for corvettes to ever become a thing tho?

[small plaza]

Been that way since 6.0, I genuinely hope they'll fix it

[slow harbor]

they rewrote half of the game to give this to us and they didn't even ask a price for it

[wary vector]

Yeah about that
