nms-corvette-discussion

[rapid skiff]

woo i think thats my best mobility yet...

still literally just a skeleton though 😕

[raw wraith]

Well... If building XXL Corvettes past the size of the landing pad, you kinda want windows. You need a working bridge.

[rapid skiff]

heh

never been a fan of larger ships, as ive said before

[ivory heart]

omg lmao

this isnt a corvette anymore

[rapid skiff]

hell, i should go get a freighter just so i can save space on not needing the storage containers...

[wary vector]

If I try to put stairs or room modules in it, it doesn't really work

[rapid skiff]

lol what are you even making...?

space crutches?

[ivory heart]

the hull is very incomplete because rn its an outline from hab pods, but even that outline will cost me 50m in hab modules

[bronze shoal]

6-7 is my comfort

[ivory heart]

Strident class Frigate, Halo

[rapid skiff]

heh

[ivory heart]

thats as long as i can get her without mods

[small plaza]

Don't tell the minmaxing guy but the actual way to minmax corvettes is building a small one and getting only the most relevant techs, then installing regular upgrades

[ivory heart]

.. reasonably speaking

i think i could eek out another 2 modules of length but itd take a while!

oh or not, i found a geometric trick to make it easier

thats 28 length now 🤣

i think 26 works well enough

(definitely not because im too broke to afford going up to 28 rn)

[small plaza]

I like 18-24 habs, but it's not easy to make it look good. My sweetspot is 16 or so

[ivory heart]

in length?

and are you talking modules or 1x2 modules?

[wraith quiver]

i want to punch my own face.

[primal flare]

anyone know how to fix this base out of range thingy 😭

[cursive lark]

You can in VR

[ivory heart]

this is crazy but you can even do it with the headset off

[small plaza]

Full habs, overall size

[ivory heart]

that is LONG indeed

[wraith quiver]

done. we good.

[small plaza]

No I meanall hab total

[ivory heart]

oooh

lmao

my previous largest hull had like 12-14 habs

this current hull will be using technically outside portions to get custom big rooms

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

[stark harness]

My central computer core for my corvette!

[wide shard]

Yall talking about a lot of Habs, all I need is 3 Habs, a thunderbird landing bay, and a half-room

[wide shard]

Luv it

[stark harness]

unfortunately some of us are getting the ich to make carriers instead of tiny ships

[small plaza]

[steep palm]

carriers should be a kind of freighter that can increase ur starship and corvette capacity

imo

[wide shard]

Oh trust me I have too, tried to make the bebop from "cowboy bebop" and used so many Habs that I couldn't place anything else

[cerulean trout]

Building massive ships is a must

[raven rover]

^

[raw wraith]

How far past the landing pad are does each end extend?

[steep palm]

i mean i think the max amount of parts should be increased by at least 50

or you could upgrade it to like past 200

[cerulean trout]

That would be beneficial for sure

[primal flare]

corvette is decal allergic brah

[lethal obsidian]

what is the minimum amount of habs you need to have all of the modules?

[small plaza]

By all modules, wdym

[raw wraith]

About a half hab longer than mine. Haha

[lethal obsidian]

like the fuel, farm, mission board

[small plaza]

Refinery+storage needs 3 habs, kitchenette and mission board need 1 slots each do half a hab. How many hydroponics?

[primal flare]

oh it's so weird 😭

[lethal obsidian]

maybe just 1

[wide shard]

I personally find the corvette storage in late-game to be kinda pointless, with the matter beam in the freighter that is.

Ofc in early game it's useful, but once you get freighter storage and the matter beam, which are fairly easy to get, then all the storage containers do is take up space

[primal flare]

ig you can use it to decorate

[fervent mist]

Has anyone glued like a jabillion corvette laser guns together?

To get all the fire power

[small plaza]

They visually don't work beyond 2 and they don't add any tech upgrades beyond 3

[primal flare]

only 3 turret modules are counted

more than that it's purely decoration

[small plaza]

Imo they completely fumbled the corvette weapons

[fervent mist]

Aww

[fervent mist]

3 or 2?

[wide shard]

They need to add more buildable ones

[primal flare]

and for some reason the game only allows '4 muzzle barrels' for projectiles to come out from

[golden radish]

3 of the same type for functionality, 2 to 3 overall for visual projectiles/beams

[fervent mist]

Ah okay

Still must hit pretty hard with three turrenta

[golden radish]

well, the turrets placed simply "enable" the weapon they're related to, and act as A-class upgrades for said weapon

[raven rover]

2 for visual

[primal flare]

it also visually doesn't matter what turret type is on

[ivory heart]

a

[raven rover]

Yeppers

[primal flare]

you can have photon cannon come out of beam turret

or maybe even torpedo turret

[ivory heart]

just need some lights and the hangar entrance (hold the left and right) will be finished

[raven rover]

man i hate that we cant remove the photon

😭

[primal flare]

so true

[golden radish]

a third turret can be "visible" if they use only one barrel (like the Deadeye)

[raven rover]

Like the torpedo?

[primal flare]

bro did nothing but just bing chilling

[small plaza]

They don't enable, they're just visual anchor points and upgrades

You can just install any weapon in your corvette just like your regular ship

[cerulean trout]

Currently debating on building UNSC Sabre or a destroyer

[raven rover]

a better word would be adding

[primal flare]

on the pro side you can go free decorating with it

[golden radish]

that's my point, they enable the use of the weapon without having to manually install it before

[primal flare]

no one expect this thing fire 40k dps infra-knife

[raven rover]

[golden radish]

like the Deadeye automatically installs the Positron Ejector

[raven rover]

Best looking gun is the laser tbh

[wide shard]

I need a visual infra-knife that looks like a gatling gun.

[primal flare]

so real

[small plaza]

I like the phaser turret more than photon cannon honestly

[raven rover]

I hate and love that lamp on the deadeye

[small plaza]

Too bad you have like 3 useless techs if you go for it. They need to change how corvette weapons work, it already has minimal tech slots as is

[raw wraith]

I find it interesting how most of us prefer a 40k dps corvette infraknife over a 70k interceptor infraknife.

[lime hound]

has anyone else encountered a bug were all of youre corvette equipment vanishes from the menu tech slots but then comes back next log in all out of order?

[wide shard]

Shhh hg doesn't know about that yet, it let's us put more modules on the ships lmao

[raw wraith]

Personally I think there is an advantage to limited slots. Forces people to make stat choices.

Before Corvettes, every single ship felt the same.

[primal flare]

in the end both kills eitherway

unironically my corvette has more maneuverability than my s-class fighter 💀

[small plaza]

Yes, but it locks you into using photon cannons visually

[lime hound]

well i find it irritating because i spent a lot of time optimizing my tech layou.

[raw wraith]

The solution would be better looking turret designs, then.

[small plaza]

Unless I grind 10b units or cheat using creative, I just don't have the tech slots to use anything other than photon cannons

[lament abyss]

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

[small plaza]

Problem is you can't remove photon cannon even if you have another weapon installed on the corvette

[raw wraith]

Now THAT needs to be fixed. Since all the turrets auto add their associated weapons, photon cannon should follow the same rule.

[small plaza]

So you have a photon cannon, and if you choose to use phaser turrets you'll get the phaser beams, turret upgrade, and photon cannons in your tech slots, just so you can use an infra knife with the beam turrets

[primal flare]

it's kinda the same rule in 'permanent mining beam' on multi tool also applied into corvette

[small plaza]

That's like 3-5 wasted tech slots just for visuals

[primal flare]

that cannon is staying no matter what

rent free

[small plaza]

That's actually fucking stupid

[primal flare]

if only theres an upgrade that made photon equally viable as infraknife then i dont mind 😭

[small plaza]

Mining beam has a function, photon cannon is not required as long as you have another weapon to take its place

[wraith quiver]

i also wish there were modules to change weapon colors. strictly aesthetic i know but.. idk.

[small plaza]

I'm going to send another ticket for this, that can't be by design

[raw wraith]

This one, I would say even mining beam should be removable for dedicated weapons multitools.

[glass arch]

Have they fixed the bug where furniture was crashing corvettes

[wraith quiver]

yeah if its essentially saying "choose a weapon. cant finish your build without one" then it should actually be the weapon that was chosen. i hate cycling through weapons

[ivory heart]

dont let penguins furniture fly your plane

[ivory heart]

fr, though i found that using graviton whatevers to drop shields, then dumping missiles down their tailpipe right after, then swapping to protons to finish, works well. The missiles dont 1 tap kill but get close, then the protons do reasonable dps vs armor

[raw wraith]

I like cycling through 2 weapons. I don't want a third. So if I have infraknife and cyclotron, I don't wanna see photon cannon.

[small plaza]

I just want phasers

Now if only each turret was it's own weapon

[primal flare]

semi unrelated but for the love of god hg allow us to assign keybinds to starship weapons as well 🙏

[small plaza]

8 phaser turrets firing at once would be amazing

[primal flare]

spamming g in the heat of battle only to accidentally skip the weapon you want and repeat the cycle again

[small plaza]

Combat in NMS overall needs a rework

[raw wraith]

I will say firing high DPS weaps and spamming g makes for a pretty show.

[wraith quiver]

idk whats goin on but all of a sudden, i cant record gameplay in NMS. amd driver timeout crashes wtf.

cant even watch youtube while i build anymore lol

[primal flare]

true that, i get tired fighting sentinels 90% of the time

[primal flare]

i tend to use infraknife to kill shield then use phase beam to finish because for some reason even autopilot cant aim properly with projectile weapons

misses 50% of the time

[primal flare]

or missiles

[wraith quiver]

yeah we need more land pirates. maybe some enemy corvettes that you can also kill for parts. and we need some grimey aliens. all the life reminds me of "spore"

[primal flare]

npc corvettes would actually be so sick

[small plaza]

Not just that, the dogfighting is easily the worst part of space combat and it's literally the only space combat. I'm tired of doing lance charges and not being able to hit a pirate because they did an instantaneous 180 despite me seeing them flying away from me

[ivory heart]

we need actual threats too

[primal flare]

i NEED my planet to suddenly shake out of nowhere because a random gek decided to land their 100 part corvette next fence of my base 🙏

[ivory heart]

i was able to fight level 1-4 sentinels within a MINUTE of spawning because i had no idea what was going on and just shot the things trying to murder me

and ive found nothing more threatening than them >,>

[primal flare]

the amount of shield you can put in a corvette made me forgot sentinel interceptors are a threat lmao

addition of phase beam and you never go below 80% shield

[ivory heart]

you can also divert power to shield/weapons/thrusters

[primal flare]

now that i think about it you can put 6 shield-related parts in a corvette

excluding module upgrades

[rapid skiff]

i mean, nms isnt a fighting game though

its an exploration game

[fervent mist]

More mass fights would be fun.

[fervent mist]

Doesn't excuse shitty fights.

[ivory heart]

but it seems like most of the reason for resource gathering is to benefit your combat ability

[primal flare]

yeah, corvette really amplifies the exploration experience

[wraith quiver]

lol you cant just use that as an excuse man.

[rapid skiff]

thats like saying you want more ecology in call of duty...

[wraith quiver]

oop didnt mean to respond to that

not at all lmfao thats a horrible analogy.

[ivory heart]

thats a false equivalency. NMS has combat as a core part of its game.

[rapid skiff]

a core part?

[wraith quiver]

this game has mods and stats all centered around combat. like i get that its focus is exploration, but dude lol

[rapid skiff]

hmm

[primal flare]

going pirate/outlaw path is a gameplay in nms so

[fervent mist]

If you implement something, you can't excuse it being bad by saying it's not designed around it.

[primal flare]

id assume combat is common factor in it

[wraith quiver]

^

[primal flare]

never tried tho

[fervent mist]

Also people forget nms is also a survival game

And fighting is apart of survival

[primal flare]

sentinels are really terrifying early game

they bully you a lot

mid-late they became farms

[wraith quiver]

i miss not knowing what the hell was going on

now theyre like gnats.

[fervent mist]

I want big monsters to try to swallow my character whole.

[primal flare]

now with corvette you're basically immune to any combat-related harms

[fervent mist]

And shoot down space tentacle monsters.

[primal flare]

apart from the game glitching you out ig

[ivory heart]

look at upgrade modules for example. For your multitool most of them are centered around weaponry.
For your suit, most of your upgrades end up going towards environmental protection, traversal, (as survival/exploration is also a core part of NMS) or combat

[primal flare]

saw a reddit post of someone's corvette warped out without them while disengaging an interceptor

prayers

[ivory heart]

and your ship modules are typically also traversal, weapons, and shields

[fervent mist]

Basically I want it to be more space subnatica.

Imagine a space reaper leviathan snags your ship rips it apart and devours you whole?

[rapid skiff]

i guess making "wings" is kinda awkward on smaller ships...? or im terrible at it, or both, I dunno

[ivory heart]

and while survival is good, adversity is important for multiple game systems. Nobody is arguing that we should remove the ability to explore etc. just that the existing combat systems should be fleshed out more to be more challenging and engaging for players

[primal flare]

asteroid larvae and organic frigates is a thing. cant see why they wont add hostile organic spaceships

[wraith quiver]

i think thats great for a smaller ship. its tough to not make them look blocky when theyre smaller ships

[fervent mist]

They're eh, for how organic they say they are. They dont really look alive

[rapid skiff]

i also dont have tons of the angle pieces

[primal flare]

true, they're organic just by design

[ivory heart]

they were scary for about 5 seconds ingame for me, not knowing about them made me adapt on the fly while still figuring out how multitools worked, which then made me explore basically all there is to ground combat immediately, so theres unfortunately nothing else ground combat wise for me to experience .-.

we really need sentinels or worse that you cant just hop scotch around trivially

[wraith quiver]

you made it work!

[primal flare]

ngl id take it all day if hg decides to go deeper with their cosmic horror

[red grotto]

How do you farm corvette parts?

[rapid skiff]

asteroid larvae scared the hell outa me when i first saw it. it was a random encounter, i was NOT expecting to meet sauron in space 😛

[primal flare]

something like elite dangerous thargoids or similar encounters would spook

[fervent mist]

I really thought the native wildlife would be more deadly then a few plants smacking me around.

[raw wraith]

I find it funny how sentinel AI seems to break different ways every few patches.

[rapid skiff]

look for a planet that has "salvagable parts" labeled

[red grotto]

Oh I see

[ivory heart]

fr, you go to land your new corvette and SUDDENLY get slammed into the ground by a big tentacle plant monster or some similar thing

[wraith quiver]

thats what kills me tbh is that the meanest shit i bump into on planets is a damn plant

[primal flare]

i really like the idea of cosmic krakens

[ivory heart]

or the odd animal that kinda tries to pathfind towards you at a walking pace 💀

[rapid skiff]

you can scan them from inside the corvette by getting out of your pilot seat, then shoot them with your ship when you get close enough. they are the yellow arrows

[ivory heart]

theres just no threat at all to be wary of in this game unfortunately

[fervent mist]

Yeah, where's the space wolverines that will jump on you and rip your throat out?

[ivory heart]

interceptors are by far the biggest threat, but thats because space combat is incredibly clunky and if you dont know how anything works yet then they can eventually shred you

so thats not saying much

[primal flare]

all i saw was 8 meters spider with crab shell as skin

[raw wraith]

I will say that goes for most of nms's systems. It takes all the ideas of a space game and does them. Not exceptionally well, but fun enough.

[fervent mist]

Press s and win.

[wraith quiver]

i mean i dont really see the space combat as so bad tbh

[primal flare]

nms space combat can be fun

[fervent mist]

Also funny cause the frigate i fight look like they're supposed to be a really difficult threat, but I park my ship right behind their engine and they cant do anything to me.

[raw wraith]

It's a bit more arcadey than other space sims. But that's fine imo since it's very new player friendly.

ED and SC are "hardcore" sims, and have a new player problem.

[wraith quiver]

yeah as i typed that i realized i dont have much to compare to lol

cpu cant run star citizen or id give that one a go

[primal flare]

like your squadrons helping you + your employed frigates comes and assist you in combat

[rapid skiff]

holy crap why is it so bright?

[raw wraith]

I think they should model Ace Combat 7 for dogfighting.

Balance of realism and arcade.

[fervent mist]

Also yall noticed it too is that you can easily destroy frigate by going right near their thrusters?

[ivory heart]

id argue that with the current state of balancing, they could make ground combat much more engaging merely by tweaking some values.
Make the big walker beam not tickle like the tiny dogs, but instead punch through terrain and do high dps to make the player SCARED of them
make all enemies fire faster projectiles and from further ranges, maybe even making some of them dodge around (though that would be more than a simple number tweak)
make fauna faster and do more damage based on size so massive dinosaurs dont slowly walk up and tickle you

you could also make them shoot the corvette* if the player is hiding in it lol, as right now its straight up a "im in base now you cant tag me!" interaction

but thats again not just a number change

[primal flare]

but if you really compared it to other popular space games, nms combat on average is more diverse

fundamentally it is still the same point anc click till hp is gone

but is also the same to games like ED and SC

[ivory heart]

right now sentinels wait until close to shoot, fire slow projectiles, are very slow and lethargic, so you can just walk sideways to dodge everything and never worry about health because they do such small dps

[fervent mist]

Alien mofos when i park inside my frigate after destroying their entire frigate fleet, 13 ships and 18 sentinels.

[primal flare]

nms emphasizes on scenery and theme so combat is amplified by the environment

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

[raw wraith]

Weeeell... Kind of? Again, I posit that until Corvettes,all ships felt the same. They just look different.

[ivory heart]

boiling it down to that itself doesnt really further any arguments. A 2d flash game can have point and click combat, as can the insert top selling fps game. It's stuff AROUND that

[raw wraith]

They should at least enter buildings if you try to run that way.

And cloaking breaks their targeting so they need to improve on that.

[primal flare]

in the end it's about how fun and engaging you can make simple gameplay be

[wraith quiver]

i think this game did well at focusing on scenery and theme while also implementing other gameplay mechanics. Jack of all trades master of none type of deal.

[ivory heart]

id agree, and that does help excuse why combat isnt something extremely polished, thats not the only focus of the game. But it's not ONLY just not extremely polished, its entirely trivial due to being skewed in your favor so heavily

[primal flare]

nms does it just fine, not perfect, but fine

[fervent mist]

Also what's the biggest gun there is you can put on corvette?

[raw wraith]

True. I don't mind being a jack of all trades as long as they acknowledge room for improvement and keep working on it.

[raw wraith]

Functioning gun?

Or cosmetic

[fervent mist]

Either or

[ivory heart]

its not just that though, its how fun and engaging you force it to be. Players almost always follow the lowest resistance path. Due to how weak and slow the enemies are, and how strong the players are, they never have to engage in terrain leveraging, intense focus, steady aim, weapon synergies, target prioritization, you can literally win intense lvl 5 sentinel response combat while drinking your coffee and watching a youtube video. It isnt just a matter of lacking depth for the system (which forces trade offs for development time), its a matter of balancing, where in their effort to avoid stifling players who dont like combat, they made players who DO like combat have something so trivial it might as well not exist

[fervent mist]

What are those?

[raw wraith]

Cosmetic mass driver cannon

[fervent mist]

What's the functional option?

[ivory heart]

there are very low development time solutions that would give combat oriented players a much more engaging time, and it does not have to come at the cost of other systems or even non-combat player experiences (such as by making the higher level sentinels the ones that are actually threats to the player)

[somber lily]

Am I doing something wrong

[primal flare]

yeah, but then again, much like every other survival-progression type games, it's extremely difficult to factor late game since it commonly invalidates balancing which were more suited for early-midgame aspect

[somber lily]

Looks connected to me idk

[ivory heart]

bro done forgor aerodynamics

[fervent mist]

Yeah I beat the sentiel frigate with my starter ship mid diff even.

[primal flare]

hg have many rooms to expand late-game challenges and you can kinda see it even now

[ivory heart]

the projectile velocities, damage values, and enemy speeds are not a threat to players who have 0 upgrades.

[misty spire]

https://youtu.be/Uyix4eoeiww?si=KtfpwOiTeIfsGUuE

[wide bay]

chat im getting better at making corvettes

[nimble iris]

I have 1 more pic

[raw wraith]

Well all the turrets are roughly the same size.

[ivory heart]

they literally couldnt kill me and i had not even learned how to navigate the X menu yet,

[fervent mist]

Ah got it

[primal flare]

have you tried detaching and attaching back again? had the same issue. connectec parts but game thinks it's off

[fervent mist]

Where do you get that cosmetic?

[ivory heart]

they do, and they should, but that costs development time and is therefore not really in the bounds of the discussion because ofc pouring dev time into a system will likely improve it

hence why im pointing out how poor their pure stat balancing is for making engaging combat

[raw wraith]

You build it with pieces and design it yourself.

[fervent mist]

Oh self designed

[somber lily]

Figured it out thanks, I had a shield generator or whatever inside one of the hulls because I thought it would work

[remote schooner]

How and where do I get it

[somber lily]

Idk why it would let me place it inside the hull if it didn’t

[primal flare]

yeah for some reason you can glitch parts into hulls

random times it works random times it wont

sneakily hide 3 shield modules

[raw wraith]

Well I built it using the octa locker from the decorations together with other things.

[remote schooner]

Need to take a look cause it might fit one of my ships

[ivory heart]

im using the flat panels rn to try to make this 💀

[primal flare]

funky stuff

[remote schooner]

Would it suit this one do you think?

[fervent mist]

Im surprised I haven't seen alot of space Pp ships in the showcase.

I thought that would be a classic someone would make.

[golden radish]

My guess is it would be seen as both immature and borderline rule-breaking

[ivory heart]

NOOOOO they delete custom decorations beyond a certain range

i cant decor the nose of my corvette properly lol

ill have to rescale my hull lol, cant have the very important engine paneling with UNSC on it like this

i can handle the no nose decor, but the same issue applies on the rear as well rip

[fervent mist]

Yeah but you know it's a guarantee, where ever there's any degree of customization there's dih and anime girls.

It's a known law of nature

[thorn gyro]

Question: So theres a limit to tech slots I can't get over. And a good chunk of bought upgrades and crafted ones are roughly equivalent or superior to corvette components, for the most part. Is there an accepted collection of what are must-have parts beyond what the game requires you to build?

[open tartan]

how do you guys even get started making stuff so cool looking, ive been tinkering for two hours and gotten nowhere i like

[primal flare]

i made my first ship by taking inspiration from a plane in halo

ended up making a turtle

and decided to screw it and go whatever lmao

i mean in what world is this similar 😭

looks closer to asp in ed

[fervent mist]

How does the coloring work? Can I color pretty easily on the ships?

Can I make like a Picasso on the top of my ship?

[primal flare]

much like coloring voxels. it changes the texture per object/part

experiment with the material options tho it can make many varieties

mainly used weathered material here

[remote schooner]

Did you look on YouTube ik there's some tutorials for ships on it

[primal flare]

nope, i just listened to the ingame tutorial and started doing whatever

tho my mindset is i think logically

like where would this be if it's in a real ship design irl

but my ship ended up out of place or smth straight out of other game so yeah lmao

[slow harbor]

I mean, in the end this doesn't look that bad

[primal flare]

wouldve made more if it werent for the 100 parts limit

[slow harbor]

Here is mine, its 114/100 counting windows and took me overall 13 hours from first draft to now

With 2 full rebuilds

it also has lore

[raven rover]

@autumn panther

[fervent mist]

Yeah but can I go for a full black or certain color look?

[autumn panther]

Thank you

[ivory heart]

pretty much ya

[raven rover]

Np, now go ham with it

[raw wraith]

Looks like it could, yeah.

[raw wraith]

Reminds me of something.

[primal flare]

pretty much 😭

[ivory heart]

MAC rounds? In atmosphere?

[primal flare]

definitely

well it doesnt offer you the entire rgb spectrum to choose

only predefined color sets to choose

[fervent mist]

But is there full black?

Or white?

[remote schooner]

Looks like a helldivers call in orbit cannon

[primal flare]

there is white-black color set

you can use inverted material to make black primary

[remote schooner]

Your joking all this time I was wondering why I couldn't get the other colour

[ivory heart]

you can paint your ship just about full black

[remote schooner]

Lad this isn't fair

[primal flare]

it be like that lmao

it gets inconsistent on some objects

[remote schooner]

I had to make my star destroyer red it wasn't as nice looking

[wraith quiver]

man im just finishing a ship

realising its going to be a bitch to paint with all the merged pieces

[remote schooner]

But then these two came out alright

[remote schooner]

Happened to me too so I gave up and kept the current colour (I'm to lazy)

[wraith quiver]

dreading it.

and then theres still stuff i might change.

used offset to merge a piece into the window. kinda makes a little dresser ledge depending on the part you use n whatnot. hopefully i can make this look better.

[hollow ridge]

Corvette inside of the ground after I teleported, and i cant tell if it looks like a Sentinel base could or what could be the aftermath of actually crashing your corvette

[ivory heart]

lol construction scaffolding

[heavy sparrow]

What do you guys think of my first and only corvette. I call it The Hephaestus. Originally I wanted something similar to the Benatar from Guardians of the Galaxy but ended up settling for what I made.

Here’s the interior (sorry for poor quality, am on console

[bold roost]

Love thr expedition stickers lol

[wraith quiver]

Loads of color inside lol love it

[heavy sparrow]

I know right, I really love the immersive feeling of having a “home” inside a spaceship rather than just a point-A-to-point-B ship

[wraith quiver]

thats my goal lol i had originally made a jet type ship, but i wanted a little more room and a window lol so i just remade a bigger one. I need to get ideas for interiors from you all

[open tartan]

where'd i go wrong making the solid gold whip

[ivory heart]

THESE are not wings

those are abominations

[open tartan]

for some reason steam screenshots are super low quality

[ivory heart]

yeah iirc they compress to like 1 mb or something?

[open tartan]

i have no idea how to make wings

[ivory heart]

or some huge compression amount

[heavy sparrow]

My interior is kind of small, but I made sure it had the basics, and just really emphasized on them. Like with the food area I tried making it cozy with statues and posters, and a nice little table lamp.

[wraith quiver]

yeah wings are rough man. but theyre so satisfying when you find a way to make some you like

[wraith quiver]

im wanting plants n lights in my ship. my interior is still small but with enough room for me. Its like a large RV lol

[ivory heart]

oh yeah

custom panels work great

[wraith quiver]

damn you got those pretty flush

[ivory heart]

the UNSC dream is alive

[open tartan]

how do you get custom panels?

is it a mod

[ivory heart]

#HumanityFirst

nope!

its a

[heavy sparrow]

I added the little curtains by the cockpit, but I think that would be a great add if you wanted it to feel more like an RV for you lol

Kinda like they do in real life

[ivory heart]

you can research these

as a deco part

[open tartan]

ah neato

[ivory heart]

now there is something VERY important to note

[open tartan]

i hear building with decorations is pretty jank

[ivory heart]

doing exterior deco will fail if you flick place parts past the normal corvette limits

but you can stand within the normal limits and place outside of that

its how im doing what im doing rn

[ivory heart]

you can see a panel just past the angled ones, that is my marking for how far forward i can stand and still place

the side scaffolding is to check my fit

(so i can walk down it and see how well it works)

it will get easier once im past this portion though

and its well worth it for the crazy shenanigans you can do

[wraith quiver]

yeah that and hanging flags. I play as autophage, so i like to add loose wires n stuff. i dig the "clutter"

[ivory heart]

oof

interior clutter is very neat imo

[heavy sparrow]

Yes I agree

I add detail anywhere I can, like boxes, random containers, wires, posters

[ivory heart]

heck earlier i only had an emergency light, plant pod, and the spooky jellyfish to work with

turns out emergency lights can be used to close off doorways in a subtle manner, and can be used to make wall panels / standing legs for other objects

im planning on using some plant pods as part of a reactor core soon as they have a thick green smoke effect

[wraith quiver]

started on the front room

[open tartan]

what do you guys suggest i do if i want to get better at shipbuilding

like should i start by following a tutorial or something

[hollow ridge]

A better use for them

[stark harness]

Do microbuilding first.
That way you can get better at covering those smaller areas with greebling

[open tartan]

wdym by micro building

[wraith quiver]

damn son

[stark harness]

Basically make small ships.

If you want a big ship to branch off of, I highly recommend remixing someone else's build. For me that ship was The Roach
https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/s/PbA6qWf0tU
An extremely versatile build that has a shape language thats very easy to play with or shifted around however you want

[hollow ridge]

"Its stock"

[wraith quiver]

big stututu lmfao

[hollow ridge]

[stark harness]

God I love corvettes
Starting out designing it is rough. But once you learn the ropes of how to put them together right it just all clicks.

[open tartan]

neato

i’ll keep trying i guess i really want to get to that point

[wraith quiver]

love the back end of this one

[loud needle]

Will we ever get the ability to have things for other players to do while the pilot is flying the Corvette, like shooting the guns and stuff 🤔

[crisp mountain]

If I create a new Corvette, it doesn't delete my old one does it?

[wraith quiver]

you can have multiple

[crisp mountain]

Hell yes ty

[ivory heart]

close enough

welcome back Star Citizen

soon to be Halo

lol

[stark harness]

Most likely this is only a foundation for further updates. Even they said it gives them lots of ideas for future directions.

[loud needle]

Ooo! I hope we do get more multiplayer stuffs then

[thorn hatch]

hey im trying to add 3 shield modules to my corvette but it keeps saying they need to be connected how do i do that?

[stark harness]

You just gotta find inspiration and think about what kind things you would like to have in a ship.

I like to have outside decks like sailing ships do so I can look outside anywhere and everwhere. And also have room for activities

[ivory heart]

place them on slots that accept them?

how are you placing them?

they can be glitched into fab modules quite easily, for example, but you should place them on the exterior similar to a turret

[bronze scaffold]

hello guys one question, IN THE CORVETTE is there any way to bug - glitch the arcadia S foil so flip vertically?? so its pointing down?

[rustic cove]

Why is it always so bright on my corvette?

[ivory heart]

unfortunately not

which is dumb because the exact operation is available for some other blocks

HOWEVER

you can make your own wings

research decoration wall panels

then you can make any shape you want just about

im out of sodium so this is the last of my shaping. its kinda time consuming to do but has extremely good geometric results

[glossy iron]

Anyone know of a way to make a door on the side of the corvette hab unit? i hate having to use the step ladder 🙁

[sharp wind]

can someone please explain me.... why to build a corvette?

[ivory heart]

creative freedom

ive spent more time working on my corvette than doing anything else in this game so far

and its glorious

[glossy iron]

cause its fucking awesome, and a mobile base (that's not a freighter you constantly have to dock and undock from, and you can get out mid flight and use auto pilot, and you can float in the air and fish from it so many reasons

[sharp wind]

i get that...i really do...belive me... but the only time i use base was the tutorial time...and i play NMS since release...so is there any real good reason to have corvette... other than having some basic base features...?

[glossy iron]

I mean, nobody's forcing you, just don't use it? It's just a better ship with more features that make life easier. If you dont want easier life, accessible mobile storage, mobile refining/cooking/crafting/farming and a nicely decorated space to enjoy relaxing on a world from, then just dont make one?

[sharp wind]

those are the stuff i barely use in game...ok...thx for the explanation 🙂

[glossy iron]

fair enough, although I am curious... what DO you do? like just fly from solar system to solar system and mine rocks and trees endlessly or?

if you've been playinig since 1.0

[fallen bane]

The main thing for me was definitely the customization. Just makes the ship feel more like an actual home then an empty hull

[glossy iron]

Yeah me too, I'm working on making a pirate ship right now. struggling to figure out the sails

[sharp wind]

i have no imagination to create anything...and i basicaly spend my time in the same system... everything is there and i don't need to go anywhere

[glossy iron]

wait what??? I'm even more confused, you dont build anything, but you stay in the same solar system? I repeat my question, what do you do??

do you just walk around in circles or?

I assume you've never used an exo vehicle since you dont build?

[sharp wind]

i used them when they came out...but i don't find them interesting

[fallen bane]

You could look up a building tutorial on YouTube for a ship you like and then customize the interior to your needs / liking

[sharp wind]

i dont want to spam this topic with something that is not corvette reletable...so thx again for explanation 🙂

[glossy iron]

fair enough sorry

here's my ship, anyone got an idea on how i can do the sails?

[raw wraith]

Hmm... Not quite sure if the front is overloaded...

[gilded prism]

are you sure this is within 100 complexity

[raw wraith]

Me?

102/100

103/100 actually. Windows are added via decor.

[oak kayak]

I don’t actually know how but it is possible as I’ve seen someone do this before

[glossy iron]

Yeah i've done some rough versions of sails but cant make it look good 🙁

[raw wraith]

Adjacency glitch lets you resize the sails by first resizing the piece before them.

[glossy iron]

i know how to resize, i have a mod for that

its mostly getting the sails on poles correctly

whenever i make a sail its just floating there far from the pole

ok nvm i kinda figured it out, i gotta place the mast after the fact

[knotty ore]

Looking to trade for these parts for the corvette ships, DM me if you have them.

• Ballast Tank
• Coolant Distributor
• Fuel Cell
• Plasma Core
• Shielded Joint
• High-Energy Ducting

[analog olive]

I wanna see the ship from the other angles as well please!

#nms-showcase-corvettes message

[neat sky]

Any way of getting rid of a secondary corvette?

[winter vault]

Scrap it.

[neat sky]

Cant. I just found out you have to sell it to someone

[winter vault]

Huh it let me scrap one.

[neat sky]

probably something they patched who knows

[winter vault]

Weird

[dark juniper]

You are not supposed to be able to scrap corvettes, probably due to some sort of limitation. There is a specific message for "Cannot salvage Corvette-class starships" when you click "Salvage Unavailable"

[sharp wind]

but as example...now i was just standing almost an hour in space station...bcs i had something else to do 😄 so much of my time in game is being afk 😄

[ivory heart]

what are you using for the markings?

[analog olive]

ty!

[fringe stag]

I just hope their next focus is on patching the 100s of bugs, not new content that will make it worse 🙏🙏

[rustic cove]

First corvette!

[dapper spruce]

is there a corvette landing pad?

[rustic cove]

Not one you can build

Theres landing spots on space stations, freighters, etc.

[dapper spruce]

lol that sucks

landing pad would be nice to control where it spawns at your base

[rustic cove]

Yeah hopefully they add that soon. As of right now, your corvette tries to spawn on a landing pad at the base and its all in your base

[dapper spruce]

do we know what its anchored to when you portal in? like does it change if i move base computer or portal?

sucks getting stuck under its foot and having to reload cause you cant move 🤣

[rustic cove]

For me, it seems like it tries to spawn on the regular landing pad, or At least close to it

Its like that for settlements too

[dapper spruce]

oh that could be good, might try moving em

[rustic cove]

It could also just be coincidence because of where my landing pad is though

[dapper spruce]

but its gota be something else for when there is no landing pad

[frank canopy]

the ship from the matrix, the Nabucodonosor

[glacial radish]

woah

how do u have so many reactors

[frank canopy]

I also used wonder projectors to display electricity

[stark scarab]

"Nebuchadnezzar"

And nice

How's the inside look?

[frank canopy]

yeah in english the spelling is atrocious lol si I went with how its spelled in my language lol

[stark scarab]

Not much better, but I get it

[frank canopy]

nothing crazy,

sparks

the sparks leave a custom trail, kinda like in the movie

[quaint venture]

any better way to build sails

[young flax]

How do I build one of these?

[quaint venture]

iv tried finding some rezising mods but i do struggle

[deep haven]

U can build those by scraping ships and instead of money u do parts each time u can only choosr 1 part grt em all and boom u build ur own and u need to buy reactor core for it wich S tier is 10k nanites

[stark harness]

The button you use to teleport to your freighter is the button to tp to the ground and create a teleportator.
Technically speaking you never have to land

[dapper spruce]

its landed when you teleport in and you get stuck

[young flax]

Ye I’m currently grinding to get 10k

I’m on 900 atm

[deep haven]

If u got A LOT of money like most go pirated system buy illegal goods crte NOT smuggling items open them for augments and boom each system 3-5k nanites and stock there restockd so u can look at ships landin there for S tiers or maybe even a exotic!

[young flax]

Okay so none of what u just said to me makes sense I’ve only got like 9 in game hours lol

Oh another question can you customise the colour of your ships?

[deep haven]

Oh haha that makes sense lol sorry and u might bable to corvette yes small ships without outting tegother no and i havent tried when putting tegother so not sure

[young flax]

Ye I don’t understand the corvettes either

I’m at the part where I can begin to make one

But the cockpit alone was 1.6m

[deep haven]

Yeah im at 2b rn so money becomes no problem and ive been playin for 2 weeks now

[warm kite]

hey guys

any news on the windows on the side of corvetes not being see through

there is like a weird wall on them all still

[deep haven]

Never heard that one before if ur inside and walk up to it it should work

[rancid oracle]

is there a way to see your corvette's pulse engine efficiency/launch cost? I'm trying to figure out the adjacency for my modules but can't see these stats

[warm kite]

nah fully like,

[quaint venture]

so uh sails

[plush gull]

Yes, only the portal window doesn’t have a wall in front of it for me.

[deep haven]

Tfff

Thats

Cursed

[warm kite]

yea all my friends ships are painted windows

[warm kite]

they fixed it for one window last patch haha

front and back windows are fine

side windows botched

[deep haven]

Tf 🤣

[warm kite]

from the outside too XD

[deep haven]

So u have half clean windows and half have been painted bc some alien brought a kid with paint on ur ship

[warm kite]

yea

[deep haven]

U should like try ignore and if somoene asks hust give them a crazy story af random kid alien loose on ur spaceship with paint😅

Best solve i got for you for now

[warm kite]

pretty much XD

hopefully they fix it one day

[deep haven]

I hope so too for you

[jovial tree]

My flying fortress, the Axiom

[deep haven]

Well done if somoene says hes to wide just say hes a dad that should make em shush😌

Love it tho well done!

[jovial tree]

It's great fun flying a fortress 🤣 i'm a relatively new player, haven't looked anything up, been figuring stuff on my own

It has a phase beam build that does 7.5k damage per tick, it's just dumb how it works

[lime ingot]

Class A already?!

[inland spruce]

Two recommendations thus far:
1: Corvette Landing Pad base object
2: Readjustment of rare parts exchange. As it is now, it's far too pinishing

[deep haven]

Love that and if the corvette landing pad is to hard to pu in bc of no flat terrain maybe a just big enough docking like station thats higher up ship stays there teleport up there us jetpack or stairs if its even good idea ;-;

[sharp plinth]

Is it possible to increase "base" zone around corvette?

[jovial tree]

Apparently the complexity check is as of now just client side and you can use some mods to go around it. Example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IGh-Dee13g

I'm pretty sure they'll make the check server side so abuse doesn't happen

[warm kite]

so happy with ma boi

[knotty vapor]

did you really space walk that far to take a photo?

[warm kite]

XD gotta be done

[knotty vapor]

why not use the photo mode lol

you can even control the sun

[jovial tree]

For whatever reason, photo mode compresses the images, so that may be the reason

[knotty vapor]

can always print screen while in photo mode

[jovial tree]

Regular screenshots look better lol

ah yeah, true that

[stark harness]

How are people getting lots of hyperdrive range?
Lots of reactors?

[jovial tree]

Upgrade placement in the inventory slots affect how the bonuses and % merge together, and I've also 3 of those hyperdrive cores hidden inside the ship

[stark harness]

Oooooh

Makes sense

[jovial tree]

4 rows + 3 slots worth of minmaxed build 🤣

[stark harness]

I have 2 on my current one and its at 500 something rn
I havent even finished it yet

If i can somehow get my hyperdrive as good as my freighter that would be amazing

I can make it the best base mobile ever

And with the base mod allowing me to place parts I normally cant, I can have in-house antimatter generation too

[graceful wagon]

Is it a bug that i cant colour the top part of these windows?

[tepid cairn]

I think I figured out what's going on with the Corvette refiners and I might be at least half right.
Is the information about the refiners stored in the system instead of the ship?

[stark harness]

Maybe its like what was going on with those extractors on the freighters before they fixed them?

[tepid cairn]

Well what I found is that I was refining some Runaway mould in my corvette with two refiners. I leave the system and look into the refiners and see them completely empty, I then go back to the previous system I get a weird result, a partial amount of the Nanites I would have gotten (Each stack of nanites has a yield of 1,999) with a remainder of 4 mould, an ammount you would expect from refining one stack of mould

[sharp wind]

all those stuff on corvettes are just for cosmetic? i mean...the ship really fly or fight thx to the moduls u instal to them...just like to regular ship...no?

or when u put some rocker launcher on it...it will have it also as a function?

[hardy oracle]

All pieces you add impact performance to some small degree, but certain pieces also install a decently strong tech module that stacks with regular modules

[tepid cairn]

Think of it like a scale down freighter. You have interior areas that are customizable like a freighter, in fact Corvettes are considered bases. The areas you can build in are based on the Habs or Walkways you use to build the ship, on the left or right walls, you can place Storage modules, refiners, etc. Furthermore you can place other items inside like the portable refiner

[sharp wind]

sure...but in space fight...its consider to be fair if a ship and corvette are oposing each other...there are no big dmg diferencess just bcs its a corrvet?

[tepid cairn]

Apart from weapon platform moduals I do not know

[haughty shale]

How much more did 6.04 fix, I was having an insane frequency of crashes on 6.03

[hardy oracle]

Regular ships just cannot compete with the power of corvette. Being able to have 3 more tech modules upgrading your phase beam, as an example, turns its heat management into a nonissue

[haughty shale]

This, my phase beam just chews through pirate freighters now

[sharp wind]

and mobility? isnt small ship more agille?

[tepid cairn]

idk about crashes but I think the disapearing refiner contents needs more work, and the Corvette moduals still shuffle around in your technolegy inventory.

[sharp wind]

i dont know if i wrote that word correctly 😄

[hardy oracle]

My corvette has 4200 manoeuvrability and can hover in place, it is far more pleasant to handle than old style ships

[haughty shale]

Well with something larger, there will naturally be less mobility, but it also has the hovering capability, which before this was, exclusive to Sentinel ships AFAIK

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

[naive gulch]

Mine don’t seem to shuffle after i upgraded all the inv slots

[tepid cairn]

Yes and no, More moduals impact your maneuverability negatively, but the boosters and thrusters make it better.

[gilded prism]

in fact my corvette has 3388 maneuverability with only one supercharged slot devoted for the pulse engine which is more than any ship i've had before

[haughty shale]

Seems to mostly happen when we change parts around

[tepid cairn]

I have had it happen just moving around the game I think

from using my hyperdrive

[sharp wind]

hmmm...ok... thx for the info 😄 i still don't have the patience or imagination to create one...but at least i know more now 😄

[hardy oracle]

I found that shuffling only happens if i have free tech slots, which is not a luxury i have enjoyed in quite some time

[tepid cairn]

I am full on tech and still have shuffeling

[haughty shale]

It's worth trying out because no corvette build is permanent, you can always add on or take stuff off if you decide you aren't happy with it

[daring heron]

corvette and regular ship need to be separated, make it have its own category and speciality, give og starship have ability that corvette dont have like much more faster airspeed than corvette and have terrain manipulation, and also if they separated the storage is also have its own tab, when pressing tab menu

[haughty shale]

Plus, if you just stand in the corvette on a planet, you can get materials so much easier just by autopiloting and using your scanner + the ships teleporter

[sharp wind]

i tried it as a part of that introduction q line... i really didnt know what and why was i doing that 😄

[haughty shale]

It definitely was a bit much right away, that's why I went and started with a simple box ship, used it to farm more parts on scrap planets, and just built off it from there

[hardy oracle]

Even just a basic box ship felt like a big boost to my fun in the game

[tepid cairn]

What I would do is probably make them obtinable later. I am pretty sure you can just start a save file and get your first corvette after placing your first base beacon, and it's basicly free, for what it is that's powerfull.

[haughty shale]

To be fair, you can get a freighter almost immediately as well, which is really powerful in it's own way, just gotta do your first warp, fight a couple pirates and bing bang boom

[sharp wind]

how is that different from using regular ship for travel...on corvette... you don't use launch thrusters on corvette? or u have terrain manipulator instaled on it?

[haughty shale]

The ship can hover while you beam down to planet and drops a teleporter back up, so it costs no fuel

Your ship can stay airborne

[sharp wind]

and it doesnt need to be down for you to get on in again?

[haughty shale]

So i sit in the cockpit while its slowly flying above the ground, use my scanner, tag the thing i want, and drop to the planet to grab it, then just teleport back up and start the process again

[haughty shale]

Nope! It literally drops a little teleporter for you to beam back up to the ship

I've even done it from upper atmosphere

Plus you can build within the hab modules in the ship, like a farm, a large refiner, a mission board, the nutrient processor, plus the look of all these change depending on what type of hab you put it in

Mission board+nutrient processor goes crazy, bc there's a mission where you collect faecium, which you can have readily stored in ingredient storage for an instant completion and easy rewards

[sharp wind]

i use none of those features...i was just wandering the differences between basic ship...or even exocraft...

[haughty shale]

Personally, it's my new favorite vehicle entirely

[tepid cairn]

as much as I want to say that this arguement is true, I also want to point out that you have the convenience of being able to use the storage containers for cheaper on the corvette

Standard storage containters are 35 Magnetized ferrite and 20 sodium, research required for each unit. Freighter storage units are the same cost but no research is required, but on the Corvette storage containors, they need no research and require 3 metal plates and a micro processor each

[daring heron]

using corvette is like driving a truck, and using regular starship is like using motorcyle

[remote crypt]

Cant access the Corvette storage containers without directly interfacing though. Freighter has the matterbeam tech

[haughty shale]

This is also true! But there are no tabs like the freighter, which means you need to be in the ship

[daring heron]

matterbeam tech?

[tepid cairn]

Yes, but that is researchable

[hardy oracle]

Freighter storage containers are usable directly in the inventory screen though. Not need to board or interact. Just need to be i the same solar system

[sharp wind]

are those storage containers shares with those in base or freighter? or are they different ones?

[remote crypt]

If your freighter is in the same system and you have that tech you can access each storage container via your inventory menu

[haughty shale]

Shared

[tepid cairn]

Yes, but at least you don't have to fly into space every time you need it, you just go to your corvette and use it tradidionally

[daring heron]

where i can find those tech?

[remote crypt]

You don't need to fly to space to use it

[haughty shale]

You can summon the freighter from the planets surface

[remote crypt]

Freighter upgrade terminal

[sharp wind]

pitty 😄 i have them full...have almost no place for anything new 😄

[hardy oracle]

Why would you fly into space? Just press tab.

[haughty shale]

I think they meant to summon it maybe? Idk I just call it from the planet I'm on and can access my storage immediately

[tepid cairn]

I am aware of the inventory system of the Frighter but you have to get frigate moduals to get it, which obtaining them may not be clear to new players,

5 for the mater beam

[haughty shale]

If you're new, you don't really need all that storage right away though

By the time you do, you should likely have an idea of how to get the modules

Plus, we have google lol

[tepid cairn]

Also, correct me if I am wrong (because last I checked which was months ago, this was the case), but I think the corvettes having the storage units helps in multiplayer since one player owned freighter can preside in one system in the party.

[haughty shale]

I don't usually do multiplayer, so not sure on that one

[tepid cairn]

yeah, Multiplayerseems to be a buggy mess or at least it is with this update

[haughty shale]

But I've accessed a storage module on an npc freighter and it still showed my stuff

[hardy oracle]

It is conceivable that there is a limit to how many freighters can be in system but i sure haven't reached that limit in multiplayer

[haughty shale]

Worst case, you can always just swap who's is called in when you need to grab something, since thankfully, theres no cost to summoning it besides having the right hyperdrive module

[tepid cairn]

In a party it's just one, but if you are just in the system and there are other people in the system (like in an expedition or weekly event) then the one freighter limit doesn't apply as other player's frieghters are not loaded

[tepid cairn]

Yeah it's nice they did add the Dismiss frighter button for that lol

[haughty shale]

It would be cool if you could still access the storage containers of your friends freighter via the inventory screen, since they're player specific

[raven rover]

is there like an uh, vines type of deco?

tryna create smth that looks run down

[haughty shale]

You could always throw a bunch of mixed paints in to make it seem like a bunch of scrapped parts, make it a bit grungier

[raven rover]

i'd like that if the paint looks decent across the board

The white rust ones just dont mix well together

Could try the random colors tho

[haughty shale]

Why no paint all option 😭

[tepid cairn]

Acurate XD

[raven rover]

we getting it

its in experimental

[haughty shale]

Don't play with me

[raven rover]

im not kidding 😭

[tepid cairn]

by the by I would have liked to have the coloring options we got for the standard ships

[haughty shale]

See I never bothered to craft a normal ship, so idk how all that looked 🤣

[haughty shale]

Yessssss

[haughty shale]

Ooh, that would be lovely

[abstract crow]

Well, my corvette design started off solidly. Now I'm struggling.

[tepid cairn]

What seems to be the issue?

[abstract crow]

Detailing everything to make it look more even and "sharp".

And the rear.

Shoot I have the same problem of my tail just ending XD

I also think I have a few habs that aren't connected due to glitch building.

to max out engine bonuses the first engine needs to be arcadia heavy and MUST connect to the right for 10 maneuverability. second one needs to be arcadia heavy and MUST connect to the right for 14 maneuverability. third one needs to be titan heavy and also MUST connect to the right for 16 maneuverability. so any corvette build is going to be asymmetrical by default with 3 engines all connecting to the right.

[hexed shoal]

what if i do left?

[gilded prism]

cant remember the first two but the third engine goes from 16 maneuverability bonus to 6 if you switch the side it connects on

[hexed shoal]

and if i do both?

[pulsar silo]

This is my corvette, but I want to make it more birdlike. A friend suggested something like what is drawn in the next picture.

Are there any parts to make wings that angle like that?

[sharp wind]

OK...i tried it...my first build...i don't even know what am I doing 😄

[pulsar silo]

This looks good!

[quaint venture]

so ehm guys

do u like my tutel

[hexed shoal]

perhabs use some walkways instead of habits. gives you some more variaty to work with

[sharp wind]

da fak is that 😄

[quaint venture]

is my tutel

[hexed shoal]

tutel👍

[graceful wagon]

What is this man hahahahahahaha

[gilded prism]

everyone's first corvette looked something like that

[jovial tree]

truly a corvette of all time

[hexed shoal]

looks like a sausage dog

[pulsar silo]

Love the hover landers

[abstract crow]

The design is almost complete, but I feel like the rear needs to be a bit wider. But that might just be because most of my ships are a little larger overall.

[graceful wagon]

Sleek design👌

[jovial tree]

here's another corvette

[pulsar silo]

Are there any structural pieces that have a good curve like that do you know?

I'd like to have a forward curve, but I have a feeling a backward curve is only possible.

[bitter canyon]

Looking good! I've redone mine since it broke yesterday and even better

[graceful wagon]

Hahahahahahaha

[quaint venture]

Looks like mine

[hexed shoal]

holy shit thats cool

[hexed shoal]

i think you can invert the parts but im not sure

[bitter canyon]

yes u can

[graceful wagon]

Old vs new version of Sword of Orion

[hexed shoal]

otherwise switch to creative and try some parts. no one will blame you

[jovial tree]

about first ships, here's something funny that happened with my first one while trying to land into a space station https://youtu.be/oHKfPyhx5Cs

[golden radish]

there is a trick with the editor that lets you rotate and flip parts using free placement

[abstract crow]

Yeah, your design was sharper, but smaller. If I could've reproduced the design but on a larger scale, I would've been perfect. But I'm still getting the hang of these glitches and all the parts makes things convoluted.

[bitter canyon]

kinda hard im maxed out in size on the hangar nearly

tho i think there is glitched to get out of it

[abstract crow]

Yeah my rear was glitched beyond the normal end barrier. Front was close, too.

[bitter canyon]

nice

[golden radish]

here's an example https://youtu.be/WcDqCSRyRi8

[abstract crow]

Hmm... Wonder if I can glitch the weapon systems into parts and make little "turrets"

[bitter canyon]

its back

[gilded prism]

hugo gernsback ?

[warm basin]

You can usually glitch them into parts that are 2 blocks long since they usually only have a hitbox that one block long

[modern turret]

definitely one of the better ones i've seen, but man, im sick of seein star destroyers. good job tho

[daring heron]

corvette had a lot of feature that make regular starship obsolete, maybe make that regular ship transform to a mech will make them better

[burnt lotus]

I'm trying to build a combat focused corvette with minimal parts to maximize available slots for technology, can I get some recommendations?
(Pls @me when responding)

[pulsar silo]

good idea. Thank you

[slow harbor]

@burnt lotus
Objectively speaking, Magthrusters-Any hab-Ambassador cockpit-Medusa/Azimuth(if you like convenience)-any weapon mount(i prefer beam array for the lasers health siphon in battle)

[pulsar silo]

I know it'll never happen because of size, but a vehicle bay we can drive/walk out of would be so dope

[pulsar silo]

I did that to max out the inventory tbh because they took away my Envoy farming 🙁

[bitter canyon]

finished it (again) tho better this time

[slow harbor]

Victory-class?

the engines kinda look like the side armor of a Victory-class

[modern turret]

you mean like this?

it's possible to make ANY ship design you want when using base decoration parts. rather than putting chairs and tables inside, put them on the outside and do this

you can genuinely make any ship with it, including mechs

[eager trail]

I think part of the reason why everyone has better-looking corvettes than me is because they only use one or two habs

Mine has 10

They have barely anything to cover or decorate around so they get more creative freedom

Mine has a ton of habs which ends up with its general shape being a brick

[pulsar silo]

I have 9 habs, which gives me plenty of space for all the storage containers, a decent amount of plants, and a "living space" hab.

Mine might be a boring D4-class style shape, but I think that classic design works really well. Or really, could look like a giant fighter jet tbh.

[hardy oracle]

I had an idea to add a robotic arm next to the landing bay to assist with loading heavy goods. How does this look?

[granite axle]

trying to make a junky ship, honestly not sure

not using glitch building (intentionally anyway)

i feel like it's still too brick shaped

[hardy oracle]

That's a fun concept! Not sure about the flat thing on the back though, feels a little random?

[granite axle]

yeahhhh

[granite axle]

unsure what to put in its place though

used to be a lot taller

[hardy oracle]

Not every gap has to be filled if your goal is to make it look like it was pieced together from scrap

[granite axle]

suppose

[prisma spruce]

My first corvette

[runic bluff]

The Ailerons in the front that form the nose cone, you gotta offset glitch them to move like that?

[granite axle]

ugh, hate how the tech slots get scrambled every time you make edits

[prisma spruce]

@runic bluff yes

[runic bluff]

Damn

[tardy bear]

Is there a way to mirror parts?

[runic bluff]

In Experimental Branch, they fixed this, but if you reload your game while your Corvette is NOT your active ship it will still scramble the tech

[granite axle]

oof

[runic bluff]

Best you can really do is tap E on PC to clone the part, then tap E again to mirror the part along the longitudinal axis of the ship. Still gotta place it manually

(You still need a duplicate part in storage to "clone")

[granite axle]

meh, good enough

[eager trail]

Is it because my corvette's habs are stacked vertically

Is that why I can't get a good shape

[runic bluff]

I think my current corvette uses 7 habs and 1 walkway

3 arranged in a straight line, walkway on top front hab, then 2 habs attaching to either side of the walkway with an additional jab behind each second floor hab

Bit weird but it lets me fit all 9 reactors

[tardy bear]

Whats rotate on pc?

[eager trail]

From the bottom up, my habs are:
Horizontal line of 3
1
Horizontal line of 3
Line of 2 heading inward towards the cockpit
1+cockpit

[gritty dagger]

i probably could try and find out.. but i d rather ask. i tried the bot command, but couldnt find the info i need...

as far as i get it: upgrade slots, do as normal with units, or add certain parts??
i can build a weapon in ship tech slot, or place it at part?!?!?
what happens if i dissasemble all of it. where do the slots go, that i bought o-0

can also just direct me to a page that explains all that stuff

[runic bluff]

Scroll wheel

[ashen sparrow]

is there a way to mirror the medusa class reactor? 🙁

[hardy oracle]

I didn't understand all those questions, but regarding weapon tech slots; Corvette tech modules are separate and stack with regular tech modules. You want to add the tech modules bought with nanites as usual as well as add 3 corvette cannons if you want to maximize damage.

[hardy harbor]

Hmm, Azimuth reactor apparently stacks with Launch AutoCharger. But what are benefits?

[hardy oracle]

Are you sure it stacks? My impression is that it does not stack. Having either will enable recharge and it won't recharge faster. Either way you wouldn't need much recharge since you barely need to use launch fuel in the first place with corvettes

[exotic minnow]

i hope the technology vanish bug or rearange bug is soon fixed … terrible

[hardy harbor]

well, it highlights adjacency

Thing is, game got idiotic policy nottotaell adjacency bonuses, one have to datamine game code to find out 😛

[runic bluff]

Or A/D in absence of a scroll wheel iirc

[hardy oracle]

Not conflicting doesn't really mean it stacks, it just means it doesn't conflict. As far as I can tell the only benefit the "Launch Auto Charger" has if you have an azimoth reactor is to provide adjacency bonus for other modules that actually contribute something.

[gritty dagger]

am just so confused, that i cant even explain the problem 😄 thanks for the answer.
oh ok, so adding "cannons" is rather adding tech, than an actual weapon hmhm

• about upgrade slots. imagine i upgraded inventory slots.
  then i delete the whole corvette in the workshop. eventually rebuild it.
  will those slots "re-appear"?

[hardy harbor]

color border means not not-coflicting. It means there some bonus active. Though we already had one effect-less adjacency bonus with multi-tool tech - the ricoachet ubgrade

[hardy oracle]

No, that investment is gone forever. But only if you actually get rid of the corvette entirely. Rebuilding it with different parts won't destroy your slots.

[gritty dagger]

okok ! tysm. that was, what really worried me

[hardy oracle]

The only reason you'd want to delete a corvette entirely is if you created a new one for the purpose of re-randomizing the supercharged slots. Which I do recommend doing early on if you care about that sort of thing.

If your current corvette has supercharged slots in locations you like, there's never going to be a reason to delete it

[gritty dagger]

me trying to build a corvette, where you dont get stuck and be happy about it

[hardy harbor]

Deleted it without dismounting tech?

[eager trail]

So like, this is my corvette's bare skeleton

[hardy harbor]

what shape has to do to that?

[gritty dagger]

just for info, this is the "best i could do" on expedition so far xd

[hardy harbor]

I'll hate you for that amount of ladders 😛

[orchid orchid]

after 6 redesigns, i made my ugly long ship at least more clean, yall think it's better the white one or black one? i prefer blackh

[hardy harbor]

oh, cockpit is on ground level at least

pelican? Is that Pelican?

[orchid orchid]

idk

i only know that making ships in expedition is easier

[eager trail]

So like

[hardy harbor]

Lot's of WAAAGH in that XD

[eager trail]

Floor 1 is a hallway, flanked by two cargo holds
Floor 2 is sleeping quarters
Floor 3 is a hallway, flanked by two med bays
Floor 4 is kitchen and dining area
Dining area leads up to the hab connected to the cockpit

[hardy harbor]

I have kitchen and sleeping place rght behindcockpit and all that level is storage X3

while upper evel is workshop and green walls

[open silo]

build a walkway and place rotated stairs in it, then you can rotate that walkway in the corvette editor (if youve done it right it will let you place a cockpit on the back of it relative to the rest of your corvette)

anything built off of that room will be backwards

and can be clipped into the main corvette

so you can flip the medusa reactor

[hardy harbor]

I have aversion to ladders since SF XD My roomba got better

[hardy oracle]

The upper floor is where you go when your roomba figures out how to use a knife

[hardy harbor]

Is there way to tweak in-game camera? It artefacting horribly compared to screenshot

I got exit on roof 😛

[eager trail]

Now, I did manage to make a back-end I'm happy with

My only complaint is I want the landing bay to be further in

flanked by more stuff on the sides, like you're going up in to the ship rather than just in

[hardy harbor]

This way?

[eager trail]

Similar to that, yeah

[flint pendant]

Is there any known way to do quarter offset (Someone mentions in Beeblebum's Video that they managed to get quarter step offset working but with no steps on how that is accomplished)?
Tried to make an ultra tiny corvette by clipping the ambassador walkway into the ambassador cockpit but found out half-step clips into each other just a bit too much

[eager trail]

like how the millenium falcon has a lot of back end to it, but the landing bay is closer to the middle?

It's up under the carriage

[hardy harbor]

there is a lso practical reason to do so. Easier to jetpack into hovering ship

IF you don't mind headbupts

[rotund torrent]

Can I buy parts like ambassador-class hab etc. anywhere?

Or do I have to find it exact number of times if I say want to have 5 of these installed?

[hardy harbor]

the sloped setup you had I tried, and it causally was sending me to space from collision whith ship

[ashen sparrow]

what do you mean by the walkway? 😮 the landing bay?

[bitter canyon]

the stairs

oh wait

he means yes a landing bay inside the hab

then you can put stairs, rotate them, and then you can put things a different way

[ashen sparrow]

ohh wow

[slow harbor]

White looks better by a mile imo, it's got an actual look to it

[bitter canyon]

an example of when i was building my star destroyer

all the side bits are inversed

[open silo]

nope, just the 1x1 habs

[bitter canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbZ2VfVQtvY&list=LL&index=3&t=8s

@ashen sparrow

[open silo]

kinda angry that it requires glitch building to rotate this part in specific, its so useful

[ashen sparrow]

oh yea i can see the reactor is horizontally mirrored relatively to your cockpit. however i want to mirror the reactor upside down. so i can put one under another. or will i be able to flip it upside down too?

[bitter canyon]

ik

so annoying

[bitter canyon]

ah ignore the side stuff i just put it to work on my ship, heres the end result

[flint pendant]

NO
You can kinda speed up the salvage container process by setting your corvette to auto-pilot, use the scanner to ping the container, then fly to there and use your ship weapon to pry open the container.

[open silo]

thats so fire

[hardy harbor]

Oh yeah, that makes sense. That ramp is literaly in center of ship under escape pod on side. The back of ship is engineering and cargo bay (and it got a cargo lift)

[eager trail]

Now we're cooking

[hardy harbor]

We can have only one bay here, so no cargo lift 😛

[bitter canyon]

Thanks, took a long ass time and still fixint bits lol

[ashen sparrow]

yea i can see the wings are all flipped right?

[bitter canyon]

yea

[opaque saddle]

This kind of things just makes me cry, not because some guys use funny glitches, but that we NEED to glitch to make "logical" ships, since we don't have mods nor enougth assets variety nor being able to flip things correctly...

Honestly the game feels quite both greate aswell as rushed... IMO we should be able to have mods so players can fix things when devs can't, or at least allow player to have their own ship parts

[slow harbor]

my only quesstion is why the side engines?

they don't quite fit

[bitter canyon]

its a nedula class not an actual star destroyer

the inspiration

[slow harbor]

oh its the predecessor

or

no

it was after

[bitter canyon]

idk if its even a thing

lol

[slow harbor]

yeah nebula is new republic i think

either republic just before 66 or that

but just before 66 there were Victory-class not these i thinkk

[bitter canyon]

im not 100% sure but i thoght it looked sick and smaller scale for nms

[ashen sparrow]

yea thanks for this its a good trick. but that's horizontal sadly 🙁 I need to flip vertically. the reactor upside down 🙁

[bitter canyon]

yeah thats not a thing, yet

[ashen sparrow]

oh damn 🙁

[rotund needle]

can yall rate my fav ship ive made so far

hopefully one day we can launch and land from the backend instead of the bottom and ill have so many more ideas🙏🙏

[rancid lichen]

how are people making open-air corvettes? or using the normal base building walls

[small plaza]

Did you make it again

[bitter canyon]

yeah

lol

xD

[small plaza]

Nice

[bitter canyon]

its even better now

i made it smoother

[small plaza]

Gonna try to build a proper corvette today

Man

[hardy harbor]

It's a Legend one now. THese are republic ships from Second Republic time period (2-28 ABY)

[bitter canyon]

ooo sick

[hardy harbor]

I thiiink they saw beginning of Yuuzhan war

[bitter canyon]

I just didn't know if they where an actual thing but that is exciting

[hardy harbor]

Hmm, they might be actually called Defender-class in books, not sure. Nebula =0class was prototype name

Imo, side bay is odd. Kind of take away from Nebulon cruisers

[dark nimbus]

Was looking at a star wars dnd sub reddit. Found this

[sharp plinth]

I look at all your corvettes, and my starts to like me less

[hardy harbor]

just put wonder projector in it and pretend to be octopus XD

[sharp plinth]

Huh

[sharp beacon]

that looks so cool congrats!! 👍 🔥

[bitter canyon]

Might have to rename it then

[hardy harbor]

(not mine)

Not sure where he found these eyes

[small plaza]

https://youtu.be/obDx0NMH8xI this is a small version of it, not mine

[sharp wind]

how do i leave the corrvet seat... without landing it? someone told me it can hover by itself

[small plaza]

x menu

[sharp wind]

hmmm...let me try...brb

[sharp plinth]

concept for my corvette was something like that. something straight. but all have very figured corvettes

[small plaza]

I like designs like these but I cannot make them look good in NMS

[sharp plinth]

I have this. Now it looks like just big torpedo

[small plaza]

First one looks nice

[small plaza]

P A N C A K E

[sharp plinth]

huh

wdym

[neon frost]

I'll try to make this piece of art.

[flint pendant]

Your corvette is so big that it doesn't fit the pad...?

[sharp plinth]

yes xd

[flint pendant]

Did you just use the spam clicking tech or you managed to change the ship base radius

[sharp plinth]

mod for broke 100 limit and glitch with green-red timing

corvette have hangar, but I cant build inside, because base radius limit

[fervent mist]

I'm playing in VR, long story but my monitor is rubbish. I can't dock in space stations or the anomaly. Basically I land then nothing happens. I can't exit the chair either. Basically to get on a station I have to land on a planet then change to a regular ship then go to the station. This made the exhibition a horrible experience. Anyone else had this issue and fixed it?

[flint pendant]

The limit is 40 unit radius from the bottom center of the corvette, and if you did a bit too much green-red spamming you can't build things in the majority of the ship

[sharp plinth]

yeah, thats sad, but expected

[slow harbor]

Double crashed freighter in a system with all gas types, and S-class upgrade farmable derelict freighter and squid exotics.

I think I found the best yellow system physically possible.

[abstract saffron]

how do yall trade more than one component? trade menu only lets me get one at the time and i need like 60 titan hab

[slow harbor]

there is always 3 slots for trading

and things have different value

reactors i think have a lot of value, and also some hull linkages

[small plaza]

Always try to start from the lowest value possible

It's RNG after all

Even 5% might have a chance to actually go through

Offered item isn't destroyed if the trade fails

[flint pendant]

I have managed to get through with a 2% once.

[knotty vapor]

Grab the pieces you'd need for that trade. delete them, then enable free item mode and build those 60 habs. Switch back to normal mode when you are done. Just pretend you traded them.

[abstract saffron]

no i mean like i want to recieve a titan hab right so i click on the trade for titan hab and its only one that its gonna give me even if it accepts my trade

i have the 3 slots for trading yeah but thats what im offering

[abstract saffron]

lol i locked my settings because i cant trust myself with being able to change it

[knotty vapor]

oof

[small plaza]

You can lock your settings? Huh

[knotty vapor]

well get clicking then

[abstract saffron]

i kept turning on free crafting whenevr i was missing like one part or something and that eclated to just playing creative which i dont want

[abstract saffron]

yea its whatever its just annoying trying to get a lot of one speicifc module

[small plaza]

Always make your builds in a creative first to get a list of what you need and switch back to your survival save to get those items and build it

[knotty vapor]

I used free crafting on the corvette no regrets. Farming to unlock a specific parts is one thing. Farming to get each specific part you want to place is another. I need my creativity to fly free

the problem is you can't even preview how the part looks if you dont own it. A blueprint mode would've been nice

[abstract saffron]

Yeah I did

[calm cloud]

hey i was makin my first corvette and was just wonddering, are some engines better than others and similarly for other components?

[abstract saffron]

now I just need to get them lo

[small plaza]

They do have tiers

Kino is good

Kino is king

[eager trail]

Constructive feedback welcomed 😔

[calm cloud]

do u have a list of the tiers of everything or anything?

[small plaza]

Nah

[eager trail]

Pretty much lmao

I hate reinforced hull links because they are not endcap-like

the outside of a ship should be plated, flat

[fervent mica]

What do yall think of it, I both do and dont like it

[eager trail]

but all we have are frigging wedges

[small plaza]

You can use the base plates to get that I think

[eager trail]

?

[small plaza]

And since you do it in the in game base editor rather than the corvette editor, it doesn't count towards the 100 limit

[muted glacier]

Anyone have better landing zone ideas?
This is what I've got atm

[small plaza]

Basically park your corvette in your base area and you can use base items

[eager trail]

Oh shoot that's right I can decorate the outside 🤦🏻‍♂️

Welp

[calm cloud]

so far im sittin at these

[small plaza]

Very star trek

[muted glacier]

just be careful not to delete ship modules from the base editor by accident

[fervent mica]

Ill take that as a compliment, its been years since ive watched it tho

[small plaza]

It doesn't look bad

[fervent mica]

It slightly reminds me of the Batman symbol and Im probably gonna move some bits around to make it that
