[muted glacier]

I assume someone has made Tron recognizers?

[abstract crow]

Go figure I try to start a new Star Destroyer design and immediately struggle with the glitch build at the nose again.

[glass cloak]

Do I need to remove interior decorations from my corvette if I'm redesigning it?

[calm cloud]

what we think lads

ah yes

[glass cloak]

I think I'm staring at a freaking mega-Decepticon in the Anomaly.

[copper kindle]

Got infraknife and photon cannons, should I go for phase beam for third weapon on corvette for max utility?

[pliant sparrow]

phase beam

[pliant sparrow]

remove photon cannons if you’re usin infra knife too

[copper kindle]

Ah can I do that if they the cosmetic one's?

[pliant sparrow]

i’d rather put cyclotron, infra, n phase beam

[pliant sparrow]

Ahhh, no

the turrets will add their weapon in the tech slot (photon turret will add photon cannon tech module, phase cannon phase beam tech, etc)

[copper kindle]

Starfleet protocol not to pack ships for war

[pliant sparrow]

the cyclotron’s for salvaging and the phase beam’s for mining 😌

infra knife’s forrr… uhh..

[copper kindle]

Emergencies

[pliant sparrow]

indeed

[copper kindle]

Also I reckon I can just blast the salvages from the hatch with my multitool

[calm cloud]

is there a specific way the tech needs to be organized in the starship inventory? I'm noticing stats change based on where each thing is placed

[golden radish]

there is an adjacency bonus, yeah

[calm cloud]

i see, is it to reactors or similar components or something?

[copper kindle]

All upgrades for a single part clump nicely

Pulse drive

Hyperdrive

Weapons

Landing gear

Shields

[calm cloud]

oo

[copper kindle]

Same goes for multi tool stuff

[golden radish]

and exosuit

Also, you have supercharged slots highlighted in purple that gives massive boosts to the tech it's slotted in

[calm cloud]

I assume more things adjacent = higher bonus?

[golden radish]

yep

[calm cloud]

so its more benefitial to do 2x2 vs 1x4

[golden radish]

yep²

[calm cloud]

sick thats really cool

time to let adhd take over

[golden radish]

also, corvettes modules stack in addition to upgrades bought with nanites

[hardy oracle]

Sometimes a T or + can be worth it, if the center module is way better than the others

[pine dagger]

Never land and make it hover forever

[copper kindle]

Super satisfying tetris typa shit to try and fit all upgrades nicely

[ashen sparrow]

Design is not made by me but a fellow traveler :3 I gave it a little turbo tho 😛

[flint pendant]

Since you are using mod anyway, here is the way to extend the build radius limit for the corvette:
Go to your mod folder, go to BuildShip-XXX\GLOBALS, make a new file called GCBUILDINGGLOBALS.GLOBAL.EXML
Within that new file, put the following code in:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Data template="cGcBuildingGlobals"> <Property name="BuildingPlacementMaxShipBaseRadius" value="48" /> </Data>
Now you should be able to eliminates most of the "Base out of Radius" error message.
If you want to completely eliminates said issue, increases the value to 87. Do note anything above 45 will have unintended side effect, and anything above 48 will have the problem of potenionally clipping stuff out of the station wall.
(I should have put this in the mod text channel, but I can't cross channel reply)

[pliant sparrow]

it’s a great time saver, exiting the cockpit only to scan for salvage and just shooting them open with a cyclotron

[copper kindle]

Had to leave one slot open for polo statue in my cockpit

[sharp plinth]

oh wow, thanks

[hardy oracle]

I gave up extra weaponry so i could have more dolls in my cockpit

[copper kindle]

My corvette is now setup as good as my main fighter

Nice 1k+ jump range, aint a slouch offensive wise either

[hardy oracle]

I think I tried too hard to get high numbers, i really didn't need 3k jump range

[copper kindle]

I didnt minmax super hard

[pliant sparrow]

This one I just made recently goes up to 3.2k mobility

[copper kindle]

Trying to find them dang counterfeit circuits for my last ship upgrade which is the cargo scan delfector

[hardy oracle]

I minmaxed pretty hard for manoeuvrability, rerolled corvette creation a whole bunch of times until i got 3 supercharged slots together

[flint obsidian]

I cannot make this look good at all

[copper kindle]

Mine's 2k something and Idk if they stop just moving faster at some point

Mine hella nimble

[pliant sparrow]

Nice, yeah I think there’s a cap

they’re as mobile as a hauler

[flint obsidian]

These damn pitch thrusters. I wish I could move the landing gear off the ground but I can't

[hardy oracle]

I don't think so, mine is now moving at almost 1200 at sea level

[copper kindle]

My hauler be clunkier I think

[flint obsidian]

Anybody have any building tips?

[copper kindle]

Idk if I have a basic hauler anymore

[pliant sparrow]

no like they’re flight model

[copper kindle]

Put part on part make it fly

[pliant sparrow]

it’s the same as a hauler’s

[copper kindle]

Ah

I see

[hardy oracle]

I have never had a fighter as fast or as nimble as my corvette

[copper kindle]

But fr get crazy with it

[pliant sparrow]

You havent had a good fighter then

[copper kindle]

Or make a box

Whatever flies hwre

[rustic scroll]

it similiar like this !!

[eager trail]

I parked my corv near my base but it only let me use the exterior decorating parts it normally does for corvettes

[pliant sparrow]

Did we use the same reference?? Lmao

[hardy oracle]

Fighters just don't have as many manoeuvrability modules as corvettes do

[small plaza]

Huh

[pliant sparrow]

the J-Wing?

[small plaza]

I wonder if it's a mod

[flint obsidian]

I'm trying to build something like the blueprints I posted above, but I canNOT get them to look right at all.

[eager trail]

probably

[rustic scroll]

no, from starfield

[small plaza]

Anyways Steam recording sucks and I don't know how to record in general anyway

[copper kindle]

Asymmetric one's arw cool

[copper kindle]

Ah lemme see

[muted glacier]

That's not a solution. That's an ugly workaround -.-

[pliant sparrow]

Yeah but did you make it from a reference photo?

[hardy oracle]

OBS is pretty easy to use

[copper kindle]

A weyland man I see

[pliant sparrow]

Like I made this with reference to this ship I found on Pinterest called the j-wing

[flint obsidian]

Yeah, I legit bought this book for this. Good purchase!

[copper kindle]

I say just make the base form and experiment with cosmetic panels to get it close as possible

[small plaza]

Thanks

[copper kindle]

I dont think it's undoable

[small plaza]

What the fuck

Brain

I was going to write "That looks good"

Wrote thanks instead.

[pliant sparrow]

lmao thanks

u predicted what id say

[abstract crow]

Thanks as in thanks, I'm stealing your design.

[small plaza]

I don't like asymmetrical designs

[flint obsidian]

Good. Because I love trying to build the Nostromo, but this undercarriage is REEEALLY throwing me off.

[small plaza]

Titan cockpit looks really good actually

[ashen sparrow]

when you built enough ships and unlocked the gold paintjob 😭🤣

[flint obsidian]

That’s real, real sexy. Wow.

[small plaza]

Kinda looks like Megathron

[copper kindle]

Reminds me of mamba

From ED

[ashen sparrow]

Hm im gonna name it like that then lol

[copper kindle]

Elite dangerous

[ashen sparrow]

i'm still trying to figure out how should I paint it tho

[daring heron]

im trying make ship like that alien ship from arrival movie but i cant find best part for it, i cant make it vertical

[flint obsidian]

As someone could see from the port and starboard orthographics, the USCSS Nostromo has THREE decks, which for the sake of complexity, I will interpret as three floors.
However, whenever I end up building the bridge, it always ends up being 4!

I’d forever wish and plead, that I could go to like ChatGPT or something, ask it to take the design of the Nostromo, and convert it to a bunch of rectangles, but I don’t think it would do it right

Should I look into something like low poly models to use as a building reference?

[pliant sparrow]

I’d rather use 2 decks

Have the cockpit situated right above the landing ramp

Long ramp above the cockpit, then a steeper one to make a pseudo 3rd deck

Heavy booster for the top thruster(?)

Then for the fuselages you’d have to make yourself, if you’re creative enough you can probs make it out of hab units but honestly too much space, i’d rather go for hull attachers

[copper kindle]

USS Jambalaya is now finished

[novel needle]

Hey is the best way to install upgrade modules in corvettes tech slots dissasembling the ship to open the slots temporarily? Or is there a way to hide all the ship parts in the tech slots? tyvm ❤️

[copper kindle]

Cant hide em I think

But they group with parts to boost

[rugged compass]

Do short range teleporters not work on corvettes? I couldn't connect em for the life of me.

[novel needle]

hmm surely we want to be installing goodies into tech slots on top of the parts bonuses

[copper kindle]

Max out tech slots first

Should have enough for 3 weapons and upgrades, upgrades for pulse hyper and pulse drives

[lavish bloom]

So I think I just lost my favorite corvette. I did the reset the simulation quest, which of course breaks all of your gear. so I switched starships. Now I can't call in my corvette to fix it up... is there a way around this or is that ship lost forever?

[novel needle]

thanks for the info :), I'm starting to think i should google it. Figure out how to get those slots i guess is my next step.

[flint obsidian]

Look real closely at that labeled C DECK OBSERVATION BLISTER AND AIRLOCK
I got to the scene of the movie where they land on LV 426, and what I saw, there’s no ramp on the Nostromo.

Kane, Dallas, and Lambert descend an elevator that from some shots, look like it descends in front of the main landing gear.

That’s what I’m trying to replicate now, and everything about the undercarriage is throwing me off because I can’t get that sense of height, because I can’t place the landing bay higher because the elevator doesn’t extend all the way down.

It’s hard to put into words. I wish I could show you any other way, but that’s just my theory way it is

[vague juniper]

anyone tryna show me how to build im not tryna build anything crazy im on ps5 and im tryna just learn how to start

[odd trellis]

Thanks a lot

[flint obsidian]

I did that, only to watch the movie again and realize that that thing protruding out of the front of the ship is NOT a ramp but an antenna!

[fringe stag]

youtube!!! theres so many great guides there

[copper kindle]

You can buy ship slots at space stations

Gonna end up running you like few gazillion tho

[flint obsidian]

Yeah…75m a pop

I was a billionaire you know

[copper kindle]

I just replicate shitton of AI valves

Post scarcity socialism is great

[foggy pewter]

isnt it fun when you got the max money being just over 4B and you buy like 20 upgrades and then youre broke?😂 😭

[flint obsidian]

Should I take that to mean asking dupers for them or?

[flint obsidian]

Yep. I’m down to 400mil and said “fuck this I’m going be broke” so I stopped after a few

[foggy pewter]

yeah for something that absurd duping andt a bad idea

[copper kindle]

USS Jambalaya

[foggy pewter]

I named this one "La Chancla"

[copper kindle]

I just wanna find a water giant for fishing

[small plaza]

Hmmmm

Speedbird nacelle manages to be sleeker

[long pawn]

First attempt at an asymmetrical build. Went for a cross between a cargo boat and a tug.

[foggy pewter]

too triangular imo

[small plaza]

Wdym?

I'm trying to make Viper Mk3

[ocean coyote]

[foggy pewter]

ohhh makes more sense lol mb. wasnt meaning to be rude.

[small plaza]

Np lol

[wraith quiver]

this. is. insane.

[bitter canyon]

Than kyou!

[desert pollen]

Anyone else having issues where your Corvette's mods switch around randomly and even disappear sometimes? These pics are all mins apart from each other with no editing done, just summoning the ship. It is driving me nuts. I feel like I cannot even fly my Corvette because I never know if the hyperdrive or something will even be mounted at the time.

[small plaza]

Thanks

[wraith quiver]

choosing a color is so hard.

[novel needle]

I had this happen once so far that i noticed (i immediately installed some modules I had wanted in) but i don't know what triggered it

[desert pollen]

It is happening to me so often that I've stopped even flying my Corvette

[small plaza]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
\

[wraith quiver]

same

[small plaza]

IT JUST DOESN'T WANT TO GET INTO THAT SLOT

Even if I delete the nacelle above it and place the hab where I should be able to connect the nacelle to the bottom of it, it just refuses to snap into the place

[slow harbor]

Green and dark grey are objectively the best for baseline cool and gold/red are the best for over the top cool

[dim imp]

I found inspiration for my own from someone in the anomaly. I was looking at other ships and saw one with a lounge and a proper kitchen. So I turned my 2 story into a three story.

[dim imp]

I like the blue and gray myself.

I kind of wish there was a proper black/white combo.

[compact robin]

All my reactors and all that on my corvette are not on my technology section anymore. Is that normal?

[hardy oracle]

Orange with black detailing for me! Color choices are hard though. 🙂

[wraith quiver]

orange and blue are the only two ive enjoyed that arent greyscale

[dim imp]

I actually found that reactors break the usual “you can only have so many mods of a type”

[astral oyster]

here is a link to my personal favorite corvette build

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pCu9DpqQLI

[dim imp]

Like I had 4 S class hyperdrives mods and then the reactor is basically a fifth.

[hardy oracle]

No, they still follow that rule. It's just that "reactor" isn't a category. Each type of reactor is its own category of module

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

[dim imp]

Oh I know, but stat wise the reactor is basically an S class mod.

[slow harbor]

but its a module so it doesnt count towards mod cap

[runic bluff]

Not Azimuth, they're A class at best. S Class Launch Thruster mods are still better

[slow harbor]

aka corvettes are more deeply customisable

[hardy oracle]

Everything counts towards mod caps. It's just that there's more than one cap. Each kind has its own separate cap of 3 modules of its kind

[slow harbor]

yeah but azimuth combines the recharge AND is A-class mod

[golden radish]

then again, you can stack both the reactors and the mods

[slow harbor]

so its easily S-class

[runic bluff]

Fun fact, your cockpit and the Medusa reactor are both technically the same tech type. If you install your cockpit before 3 Medusa reactors, it will only count the first 2 Medusa's in tech

[dim imp]

Huh.

[hardy oracle]

You call that a fun fact, but I call that a frustrating fact 🙂

[dim imp]

I admit Medusa is the one reactor I don’t use. Next to the shield one.

[runic bluff]

It's as simple is uninstalling and reinstalling the cockpit, then saving changes.

[hardy oracle]

Medusas are the best! Manoeuvrability is awesome

[dim imp]

It’s just hard to find a place on my ship for it.

[runic bluff]

I like them all

[golden radish]

it adds maneuverability in addition to thrusters, so 3 medusas + 3 A thrusters + 3 upgrade mods = one nimble as F ship

[runic bluff]

(I run 12 reactors)

[hardy oracle]

I really need to do this. Thank you.

[wraith quiver]

mfs out here racing comets.

[dim imp]

Like the fact I can’t flip a reactor upside down is frustrating as hell.

[golden radish]

doesn't work like that i'm afraid, i think you have to uninstall medusas and cockpit, then install the 3 medusas first to be sure they count in tech

[runic bluff]

My Corvette has 1500 Agility and that's enough imo

[runic bluff]

@hardy oracle You might have to do this, just fyi

[dim imp]

Mine has like 900+? It does everything I want it too.

[hardy oracle]

Never enough!

[dim imp]

Jfc

[runic bluff]

You're giving up too much firepower!

[dim imp]

I wish we had more weapon mount types.

[hardy oracle]

Am I though?

[dim imp]

Like gimme an infra-knife mount pls Hello

[runic bluff]

I've been thinking of remaking my Corvette around the Positron Ejector

[runic bluff]

Not even breaking 50k smh
I kid, that's still good damage

[hardy oracle]

I have no doubt that it's possible to get more, but enemies really don't have that much health

[runic bluff]

I like to kill Sentinel Motherships quickly

[dim imp]

Yeah, I find that 15-20k shreds pretty much everything

[runic bluff]

My Corvette only has like 24k DPS with the photon cannon but it has really good shields. It's a juggernaut

[hardy oracle]

... I've not fought a sentinel mothership. I assume they show up if I fight sentinels in space long enough? I'll give it a go

[runic bluff]

Meanwhile my Sentinel Interceptor has much less shielding but has all 4 SC slots in a square so my DPS for Infraknife is 100k

[dim imp]

I am thinking of making a smaller corvette for farming and going all in on the ballista.

[runic bluff]

Glass (pun intended) cannon

[runic bluff]

Yeah, they show up at Sentinel alert level 5 in space

[small plaza]

Honestly, it's more of an "inspired" build more than anything else

[runic bluff]

VIPER MARK 3

[dim imp]

Elite Dangerous my first space sim beloved…

[small plaza]

It's actually quite spacious inside

[dim imp]

Is it a two story?

[small plaza]

Yup

[wraith quiver]

what all hab modules are you all using? like which would you all say are the most practical?

(like the mission board, crew bed, refiner, etc)

[runic bluff]

I wonder if they'll ever be able to fix the Pulse Jump Ladder glitch

[dim imp]

Thunderbird for “cargo” and Ambassador for living quarters

[small plaza]

Mission Board, Refiner, Kitchenette, Storage Containers etc

Ambassador all around

[dim imp]

Yeah. I really really like the Nostromo aesthetic

Except for the cockpit

[wraith quiver]

idk i like thunderbird aesthetic, but aesthetic aside, like which things are you actually interacting with most?

my ship is very small so i only have one hab lol i went with these

[dim imp]

I like Thunderbird for the cargo space being just a pile of boxes.

It suits my “toss everything into a general pile” 😂

[wraith quiver]

I keep my cargo on the freighter tbh

LOL heard

[ocean coyote]

https://youtu.be/4R2_1k1sakA?si=Qxmay8VtD_H-1jlb

[dim imp]

Now if only they’d make proper corvette landing pads…

[runic bluff]

Mine has 2 med bays, one mission radar, 4(maybe 5?) sleeping quarters, two living walls, and 2 Nutrition systems.

[small plaza]

Changed the top a bit, looks sleeker I think

I might use that top design in my regular ships too

Glitch building is kinda nice once you figure it out

[dim imp]

I wish my medbay wasn’t sharing space with the cargo but it works.

I’m also digging the elevator style lift. Put that in the back like you’re going to bring cargo in that way while putting a second landing bay in the front like on the Normandy.

So crew exits out the front and cargo comes on underneath.

[runic bluff]

I wish the medbay could actually heal injury

That'd be neat

[wraith quiver]

merging parts into eachother that fit well is so satisfying. This reactor/thruster combo has me in a chokehold

[dim imp]

Yeah. I just put a first aid kit on the wall

[dim imp]

Oh that’s cool.

[wraith quiver]

lol i had a ship with a medbay i like to protend its a species probing table

pretend*

.. placed it right by the kitchen...

[ashen sparrow]

lol the living wall is not even looking that for me xD

[dim imp]

Refinery station is down below with the cargo but on the side where my crafting elements go.

So everything’s in easy reach.

[wraith quiver]

my living wall is empty. i think you might be looking at the standing planter

gotta grow that nip for space bowls lol

[ashen sparrow]

and you cant fill it its just adecoration?

[dim imp]

I had to remove my living walls

[runic bluff]

I wish there was a part that matched flush with the Medusa without glitching

[wraith quiver]

yeah it just has those "leaves" that come back after harvesting

[dim imp]

They just don’t seem to work for me. I use the standing planters for decorations.

[warped warren]

they do work

[wraith quiver]

wish you could put any plany in thos planters

[dim imp]

The problem is the planters feel like they want their own space and I don’t have space for them. And they feel awkward being in the crew space or the kitchen.

[wraith quiver]

living walls seem to have this ghost barrier

like that goes around the planters

[dim imp]

Also? The back wall of habs don’t seem to count as space to put anything in, which is weird? Like I can use the sidewalls but the back is just…empty?

[sweet mesa]

yeah the placement options for some of the rooms leave a little to be desired. 2 of the window options also look identical when put on an ambassador hab

the outside of windows also doesnt have any polish options so it wont match the rest of your ship if you use glossy paint

Final edit

Might try to make this in my survival save

Also finally managed to get that part in place

Thunderbird is pirate/scrap, Titan is Industrial/Mil, Ambassador is luxury

[dim imp]

Also I notice corvettes are hilariously cheap to upgrade their class? Like it’s over 100k nanites for a normal ship but corvettes are like…10k?

Was a bit mindboggling to realize how cheap it was to upgrade.

[hardy oracle]

Weird, I think it cost me around 80k to upgrade my corvette

[dim imp]

I wonder if there’s a modifier

Because one time I upgraded and it was like…3.6k and I had to do a double take.

I wish I had screencapped it now

[hardy oracle]

Wiki note on general starship upgrade matches what I remember it costing for my corvette. I think it's the same for all ships: 10K for upgrade from C to B
25K for upgrade from B to A
50K for upgrade from A to S

[sweet mesa]

Thoughts on my first proper build?

[fervent mist]

50k nanites takes a bit of time. Mine is A class and maneuverability is 980. It’s big boy too

[dim imp]

Huh. Maybe there’s a modifier??

[dim imp]

900 is fine.

[sweet mesa]

One of my favorite little discoveries was putting the wonder projector in the cockpit

[dim imp]

Wait you can do that???

[sweet mesa]

it's awesome

[wraith quiver]

i like having the little flying robot companion in the ship

[hardy oracle]

Is there some trick to get it to not clip through walls and ceilings? My ship isn't big enough to let it move through its full cycle

[dim imp]

Ooooh, I need to do that. Mental note.

[wraith quiver]

nah you just have to put it in the direct middle of a room

[sweet mesa]

this lol

if i put any modules in the room he goes through them lol

[dim imp]

more ideas to add things.

[wraith quiver]

ill get an ss of what i did its kinda janky but eh

[hardy oracle]

Maybe it's just the hab I use, the ceiling is cluttered with junk that the bot keeps clipping through:

[dim imp]

I wonder if it’ll do better on ambassadors.

[hardy harbor]

Can we do this to radar dome noramlly or it's glitch build? https://www.reddit.com/r/nms/comments/1nhnxvu/finally_got_my_sclass_dreadnaught_bonus_corvette/

[wraith quiver]

thats sick.

[wraith quiver]

https://streamable.com/2hahou

[hardy harbor]

Region block

[wraith quiver]

i set him in the middl eof the room then put a table IN the ring

[lucid helm]

If the autopilot maintain course is utilized, you can add a near infinite number of plants into just one planter.

[dim imp]

Oh so he just circles the room. Okay that gives me ideas…

[small plaza]

What's the name of that table

[foggy pewter]

How do you do it?

[hardy oracle]

That's a nice trick! Looks like the issue are the thunderbird habs then, the ceiling is just too low for bot-buddy

[hardy harbor]

I'm afarid that may cause double delet bug later. Essentially things paced into same spot are pointers to same "location", some data is shared, some individual

And that's pretty much whole game is that way.. as if it emulated badly written softare 😛

[wraith quiver]

topographic table

[small plaza]

Thanks

[dim imp]

Topographical map. It’s a space station deco

[small plaza]

I want a large corvette with a proper ship bridge

Will put some stuff there like that

[wraith quiver]

place the robots ring down first, it should be slightly above the floor. Then take out the topo table (i had to downsize to get around it) and then place the table INSIDE the ring

also i should mention that this is a walkway hab with windows, i just used the offset glitch to build a lower wall and make the windows thinner.

so a windowed room should be even more spacious

Plus the low walls double as pretty cool shelves depending on the module you use.

[glass cloak]

Do I need to remove all tech and cargo pieces from a corvette if I'm trying to make a new one, or if I'm modifying the existing one?

[foggy pewter]

Shouldn't, no

[hardy oracle]

@runic bluff A bit of a late response since I was doing something other than shipbuilding, but I finally got around to dealing with the medusas. It took some messing around but I finally understood what you meant. Remove all medusas and the cockpit, build all three medusas and THEN add the cockpit back in, then save. At least that sequence worked for me.

Also, wow. That made a huge difference. I jumped from 4100 to 4500 manoeuvrability from just replacing the cockpit tech with a medusa tech:

[wraith quiver]

da loooong waaaayyy

wtf whered it go

[raw wraith]

There

[wraith quiver]

ayyyyy yeah that things a beauty

[dim imp]

Holy

[raw wraith]

Hahaha. 102/100 parts

[dim imp]

Goddamn

[fervent mist]

I got it to 1072.8, still at a class. Does maneuverability make a difference at this point? I thought to try and get it to 2,000

[foggy pewter]

where do you get the little robot guy?

[wraith quiver]

anomaly i think

[dim imp]

I don’t know. I feel like at a certain point it doesn’t add a whole lot? But that’s just a feeling thing.

[foggy pewter]

i couldnt fint it in the anomoly🤷

[glass cloak]

There's not a way to clip through to look inside a multi-level ship you're building without finalizing the design and adding stairs, right?

[muted glacier]

I still really want interiors to grow like cuboid spaces

[dim imp]

Supposedly 2,300+ is considered a good score but that requires some minmaxing and sc slot luck

Maneuverability is the most important stat, imo. Way more time is spent flying than fighting or warping, after all

[sleek oasis]

It's just more snappier, tho it feels way less realistic the higher you go, around 2k is the best imo for bigger ships but around 3k for smaller ships is my go-to

[dim imp]

Yeah, I’ll try messing with my ship to see what numbers I can get.

I just want the ship to be symmetrical and concise and not bloated with parts lmao the struggle is real 😭

[sleek oasis]

Like my Corvette is the Razor Crest and I had to lower it a little cause it didn't feel realistic

Since it's a big ship after all

[patent mirage]

i love my chonker

[wraith quiver]

yeah you guys inspired me to make something chunky lol so im starting my second attempt now

[patent mirage]

especially the fact that it has 3 entrances

[mild stratus]

Hg needs to let us rotate everything without glitches my main reason being i want the entrance bay to be sideways between my cockpit and habs 😭😭😭

[dim imp]

Yeah, mines like a three story ship haha, and yeah mine had two.

[sleek oasis]

Like fat or a big ship

[dim imp]

Seriously, the fact we can’t rotate some objects is bs.

[wraith quiver]

more bulky

[upper gate]

Q (most likley asked 1 million times before)....
The defence things (ion etc), are they just cosmetic, or do they actually do anything or change the ship stats?

[wraith quiver]

not a "jet" lol

[mild stratus]

Fr I'm not messing around with glitches just to have certain parts rotated ship building takes long enough as is

[sleek oasis]

I might try to remake the consular class light cruiser

[muted glacier]

I really want a side entry

You can at least make a ladder up with a platform from the top of a hab, I guess

[sleek oasis]

The priority rn though should be a fucking landing pad lol

[mild stratus]

Side entry just look cooler on ships for me it's what I had on my ship in starfield so I need it in nms lol

[dim imp]

887 lol

[sleek oasis]

They are cool yea

Can you not rotate it with a glitch or something?

[mild stratus]

Shipyard would be better than a Landing bay let us build ships at our bases rather than in the space stations and give us a technology or something so we can tp to our corvettes cockpits

[sleek oasis]

Meh, having a small pad where the ship would always lend straight in the middle would be best, that way it's kinda hidden and clean

[mild stratus]

A corvette landing pad will never be small or hidden tho

[sleek oasis]

It depends what they do

[mild stratus]

Idk what you mean by that there no way to make a small corvette landing pad

[spiral prism]

We need an official corvette landing pad or at least beacon to determine where it lands when you use the portal

I keep getting trapped inside my buildings with a corvette on top of me

[sleek oasis]

It doesn't need to be a "landing pad" just a thing you can place where you can dock it, like the freighter one

[spiral prism]

A docking port would be cool

[mild stratus]

@spiral prism have you put an actual teleport in your base? That seemed to fix my ship going underwater at my base now it just floats by my main building

[mild stratus]

You mean so it floats above the ground?

[spiral prism]

Yep. Does net happen with all bases, but it happens

[tribal forum]

Anyone having an issue with corvette when you switch to a different ship and swap back to it, the corvettes tech is all moved around?

[spiral prism]

Yes. Known issue right now

[tribal forum]

got it thank you!

just making sure it wasnt me

[spiral prism]

Supposedly in next patch and always good to verify

[stark harness]

You know what would be neat now that we have corvettes?
Give us the ability to go on the fleet missions.

[mild stratus]

That sucks honestly hg still need to fix a few things

[wise shard]

guys i js logged back on for the first time in a few days and my corvette is completely gone theres only the 2 default ships now when i press the switch starship is there a fix?

[spiral prism]

I can escape, just breaks some immersion lol

[sharp plinth]

good or superfluous?

antennas

[stark harness]

Maybe remove some to space them out

[spiral prism]

Interesting, but a little too busy

[keen nebula]

How do people use base items to build corvettes?? Only pc? Mods? I’m on console and confused af.

[abstract crow]

Mods

[mild stratus]

Also this wouldn't be any different than leaving your corvette hovering i think people actually want a docking station/pad so they don't have to jump to there ship or tp to it also don't think anyone would be upset about having there corvettes and it's pad as a main feature in there base

[spiral prism]

Mods on PC

[elfin lava]

Is this really the limit on cargo slots the corvette can get? Right now when I modify it it says limit reached and rest will be only cosmetic
But my previous design had one more row of slots

[spiral prism]

You can upgrade at the same station used for starships. Includes upgrading class

[sharp plinth]

1 between 2?

[spiral prism]

Need to upgrade class to add more slots

[hardy oracle]

Every bit of manoeuvrability helps. At some point you might feel like you have enough turning speed but the travel speed keeps increasing linearly. I'm at 4500 now and get 1300 u/s at sea level and my craft feels incredibly agile.

[spiral prism]

How did you get 4500?

[stark harness]

Yeah

[mild stratus]

I wanna know how people get to 4500 maneuverability mine caps at 3000 with 3 maneuverability reactors

[ocean coyote]

Sadly the only way to join habs that have been rotated 90' is with the thunderbird hatch / stairs glitch

[sleek oasis]

I know, but If it's gonna be bulky as shit it's not gonna be that great

[sharp plinth]

now it`s strange

[elfin lava]

I know, but it used to have more without any upgrades
A couple hours ago I've noticed that a good chunk of technology slots have suddenly disappeared, and my storage space decreased too
I wdnt to the station and edited the ship a bit
Technology slots have returned but not the cargo slots for some reason

[spiral prism]

That’s a new bug. I know the slot rearrange themselves after editing the ship, but not disappear

[hardy oracle]

@mild stratus It wasn't easy! In short, 3 medusa reactors, all decent x-class pulse modules in supercharged slots. Polo and Tentacle figurines surrounded by synergy boosters.

[mild stratus]

Personal difference i want bigger structures to put in bases that have more functionality like i said if they gave us a ship yard they could let us build ships in our bases

[spiral prism]

X class, I see.

[mild stratus]

Wait are x class better than s? It's been awhile

[hardy oracle]

X-class are more random, they can get a little bit higher than S-class

[spiral prism]

They can be. It’s a gamble

[stark harness]

Hmmmmm

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

[stark harness]

Maybe put the antennas back but make them alternate between big and small

[hardy oracle]

Potential max values of S-class and X-class pulse engines. As you can see that's really not the main point to improve. Every bit helps though:

[mild stratus]

I appreciate that thank you hopefully i can get my beast to 4000 atleast nothing beats seeing a big ship keep up with small ships

[spiral prism]

I have like 8 reactors on my ship. Finding space is sometimes an art.

[hardy oracle]

Yeah... I had to give up the idea of having two weapons. I only use a photon cannon upgraded to the max now

[mild stratus]

I feel that I have too many reactors atleast you don't need thousands of damage in this game

[spiral prism]

True. I focus on manu and liftoff, as well as shields

[hardy oracle]

Photon cannons aren't bad though, I still get a lot of damage out of them

[fervent mist]

How did you get it to 4500? Is your ship smaller? Been wondering if smaller is the best for maneuverability but like having a big one too

[mild stratus]

You can definitely get a fast big ship with good supercharge slots

[fervent mist]

Ok, A class at 1072.8, guess could be better

Hyperdrive is 1021.4

[spiral prism]

Mostly its pulse upgrades and sc slots arrangement

[dim imp]

…I think I lost my corvette

[fervent mist]

Go to corvette work station. Maybe it is there

[spiral prism]

Can you go back to an earlier auto save or restore point

[stark harness]

Does the purple system hyperdrive allow you to travel to the others without needing to install their drives?

Thats the biggest issue for me

[hardy oracle]

I'd say my ship is about medium size? Maybe on the smaller side. Character standing ontop for size comparison if you need it.

[spiral prism]

No

[stark harness]

Ooof

[hardy oracle]

Yes, it is the only one you need

[stark harness]

Phew

[dim imp]

What the hell. I had to swap ships to scrap a ship and my corvette just vanished???

[hardy oracle]

This is not true.

[stark harness]

Thank god
I hate having to install them all

[proper sapphire]

i am still trying to figure out a decently sized sentinel themed design

[spiral prism]

Has that changed recently

[hardy oracle]

I don't know, I only returned to the game recently. Last time I played there were no purple drives

[sweet mesa]

Would be cool if it was like a gravity well that sticks out of the ground and and holds your ship above it

[spiral prism]

I think you still need indium drive too

[hardy oracle]

No, you do not need the indium drive.

[fervent mist]

Mine is bigger so maybe maneuverability can only go so high

[sweet mesa]

oh wow lol so you're experiencing the worlds part 1 and 2 stuff and the corvette stuff at the same time. that's basically a different game

[spiral prism]

If not, it is good to have at least for distance

The others are def not needed

[fervent mist]

Space mansion lol. I have nutrient processors and all the other stuff. Made an anomaly cookie lol

[spiral prism]

Beefy boy

[hardy oracle]

It's been delightful!

[stark harness]

I loooove making a corvette thats a mobile base. Everything I need.
Nomad vibes

[spiral prism]

Building and then flying is pretty cool

Then on to the next

[jagged canyon]

maybe this is just me but tfw no way to increase corvette rank

[spiral prism]

You can . Go to the star ship upgrade station

While the corvette is your current ship

[jagged canyon]

also adding more tech slots, even cargo slots?

[spiral prism]

Correct

[jagged canyon]

huh...

[hardy oracle]

You get a total of 60 tech slots when fully upgraded

[spiral prism]

If its too expensive just turn upgrading to free

[wicked dagger]

Well this has turned out rather nice. Fully functioinal (i.e. I can get in and out) using both Glitches and Corvette building Gitches ... Neet to move the side torpedoes though ...

[hardy oracle]

Salvaging broken ships on planets is a pretty good way to get some free slot upgrades while also earning units

[sweet mesa]

Do you guys think we will get Corvette missions that don't feel like copy paste Nexus missions?

[dim imp]

Okay now I’m mad.

I still had well under the max number of ships and my corvette disappeared and apparently it’s just lost???

What the actual hell.

[spiral prism]

Submit a ticket to HG !hg

[hardy oracle]

I finally got around to learning how to do backups outside the game due to corvettes. The idea of losing my beloved spacebug is too scary

[dim imp]

All I could do was swap ships to scrap a fallen ship and it just deleted my corvette 🤨

[spiral prism]

XML backups are becoming a must have

[sweet mesa]

do you have a restore point

or is it too long gone

[dim imp]

No because I didn’t know what was going on until it was too late

I went back to the station and got out.

[hardy oracle]

I know it doesn't help a lot, but at this point I would just turn on creative mode to recreate the ship, you shouldn't have to grind due to a bug

[sweet mesa]

💔

[dim imp]

Goddamnit.

Oh I will but all those mods are gone too.

[sweet mesa]

agree this would be the best bet probably

[dim imp]

And my ship upgrades and everything. Uuuuugh

I wish they’d warn you!!

[spiral prism]

Again, you can turn off build and upgrade costs at any time

[dim imp]

“This will delete a ship”

[spiral prism]

I know I do

[dim imp]

Oh I know it’s just…frustrating that I have to redo all that. Mostly angry about the mods.

[sweet mesa]

I've never had close to maxed out ships but with these new corvettes it might not stay that way

[runic bluff]

Had this happen too. Had to use a save editor to find the ship, still in my list on the back end but not visible in game, and set it to my active ship. It was a part-less Corvette somehow. Yanked all the tech and got rid of it by exchanging ships with an NPC one in the space station.

[dim imp]

Should I check first?

[unkempt scroll]

first corvette

[hardy oracle]

That's way nicer than my first 😄

[spiral prism]

Sleek looking ship. Well done

[hardy oracle]

My first was just a box with an engine on one side, but it worked and I still loved it

[sleek oasis]

What if the cockpit was back 1 slot, like it ends where the blue parts ends

[fervent mist]

My next corvette, going bigger. Maneuverability will be 100 lol

[jagged canyon]

can starship upgrades be applied to corvette?

[hardy oracle]

yes! And they stack with corvette modules

[dim imp]

Luckily I know what parts were on mine.

[fervent mist]

Oh nice

[unkempt scroll]

i tried but it doesnt look as good

[dim imp]

I wish the hab modules didn’t count.

[sage wolf]

How many corvettes can you own? Can you put them in cold storage?

[keen nebula]

Anyone knows how to get those exotic plants for decoration? Trying to add them to my corvette!

[spiral prism]

Quicksilver merchant

[sleek oasis]

Really? I doubt that

[hardy oracle]

I haven't tested it myself, but it's the same number as regular spaceship. The exception is that you can NOT put them in storage

[void crane]

so i docked my corvette at my capital ship but now i cant teleport back to it? is there a way to get back to it that im missing?

[spiral prism]

I am trying to be on a corvette diet

[hardy oracle]

Yeah, the teleporter is on the opposide side of the hangar from the stairs

[jagged canyon]

well this sucks

i hit complexity limit of 100...

[runic bluff]

You can give it a shot, NomNom's Save Editor is the only one I know of that can switch your active ship outside the game. I don't have a link sadly, I'm at work

[void crane]

yea its not working, says no ship docked

[spiral prism]

If on PC, there’s a mod for that

[dim imp]

Yeah that’s I use for editing

[hardy oracle]

Try using the X menu to swap to your corvette, maybe you accidently made another ship your primary

[void crane]

its not even showing up on the x menu and its not accessible at the builder either

[hardy oracle]

Uh oh. Make sure you don't save, in case something weird is happening

[dim imp]

Weeeee, I love bugs (he said sarcastically)

[hardy oracle]

I lost my ship in a multiplayer session, somehow I ended up with my friends fighter ship in my slot. Name was the same but the ship was just not a corvette anymore. I had a save to revert to though!

[dim imp]

Yeaaaaah, it’s gone.

I guess I hit the limit somehow, with the ships in storage apparently I had 11 ships. And my corvette was 12

I’m swearing like a sailor right now lol.

[spiral prism]

I’ve had similar things happen. Just resigned myself to building another

Nervous to play with my friends now. Don’t want to lose my corvette

[hardy oracle]

Backups makes me feel safe

[fervent mist]

I have 2 corvettes and at the 12 ship limit

[spiral prism]

If you are PC, you can do a backup. On console, I don’t know

[dim imp]

Oh well. I was playing in normal mode so I don’t care about survival or permafrost or perma death achievements.

[hoary wind]

What's the easiest way to get corvette parts?

[dim imp]

Honestly it’s mostly the mods that make me angry.

[spiral prism]

Set to free build costs

[hoary wind]

How?

[hardy oracle]

Own a basic corvette. Set it to autopilot slowly over the surface of a world containing salvage. Mark salvage, fly over it and shoot at the ground until looted. Repeat.

[dim imp]

This

[sleek oasis]

gonna try and remake this

[spiral prism]

Difficulty settings in options

[spiral prism]

Good luck. I look forward to it

[dim imp]

Okay, at least I know what mine is supposed to look like at least. makes me a little mad but oh well.

I’ll try experimenting with some new designs while I’m at it.

[fallen frost]

My first corvette is finished.. really makes things in game easier

[stoic vector]

How are people getting all of the parts to build all of their cool designs? I just about finished the expedition and I feel like I have no where near enough lol

[bitter canyon]

anyone create a way to mask doorways nicely?

[spiral prism]

Set build costs to free in options under difficulty

[unkempt scroll]

looks like thje aiges vanguard

[bitter canyon]

trying this but looks really mid

[fallen frost]

i kinda stole the look from that lmao good eye

[unkempt scroll]

go to a planet with salvage and find the golden markers and farm the crates.

[unkempt scroll]

lol

[sharp plinth]

godzilla's back

[fallen frost]

thats BIG

[sharp plinth]

ofc thats big, its Frigate

[fallen frost]

Friggin big frigate lol

[sharp plinth]

size comparison

[fallen frost]

Noice

[sharp plinth]

so epic view

[rugged jolt]

Any ideas on what I could do to make it appear closer to the inspiration picture?

[keen sparrow]

Got the whole "Arcadia" set and I'm playing around with combinations of it. I especially like the sublight thruster "pods" as well as the boosters. This build gives me a "Lego" feel. 10 year old me would be proud.

[upbeat oracle]

i stole this from a guide n its super cool ill link the guide

[keen sparrow]

That is really damn close. Narrower front section?

[upbeat oracle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d_Gs20Yykw

[keen sparrow]

Like, in the film I remember that front part being tall and narrow

[rugged jolt]

The narrower front section is giving me trouble. I need habs to be able to enter the cockpit which limits how narrow I can make it

[keen sparrow]

Ah, yeah.

[bitter canyon]

made it super clean

[wraith quiver]

you could use a standing planter

[bitter canyon]

whats that

[keen sparrow]

@rugged jolt is there somewhere you could sneak in a roof access ladder?

[rugged jolt]

Only on the top of the front section

which is where we are trying to narrow 😂

[wraith quiver]

i just dropped them down without trying

[bitter canyon]

ooo good idea ngl

[keen sparrow]

Oh damn I'm gonna have to try that

[wraith quiver]

but with minimal effort im sure itll look ok

[warped warren]

but that blocks it right?

[bitter canyon]

tho you can't walk thru right

[keen sparrow]

The build camera didn't lose its shit when they were that close to the wall?

[wraith quiver]

ohhh no you cannot go through it my b

[keen sparrow]

I had lots of issues trying to get a multi-tool rack to go up on an Ambassador wall

[bitter canyon]

cuz for me its to hide the technical room lol

which i still need to decorate

[wicked dagger]

I am calling this guy .... grumpy

[keen sparrow]

The Ambassador interior is definitely my favorite, although I do hope that in the future they'll allow us to change the colors of the "padding"

[wraith quiver]

oh him angy.

[keen sparrow]

Nice decal usage

Honestly this whole process is harkening me back to Lego builds

[limpid karma]

flint lockwood

[wicked dagger]

Took almost more time to make them work than to build teh damn thing

[keen sparrow]

I built so many damn spaceships as a kid

[wicked dagger]

😀

[wraith quiver]

hell yeah ships and mechs as a kid

[keen sparrow]

And I'm 43 so I never could have IMAGINED something like this back then

[wraith quiver]

hell i still have my legos somewhere with all my joint parts

[fallen frost]

That's my childhood 100% with lego

[keen sparrow]

Yeah I still have some as well

I'm a big fan of the 3-in-1 sets

[fallen frost]

My kids got mine

[wicked dagger]

Oh No ... oh No .... oh Yeeeaaah !!!****

[wraith quiver]

i used to get the box sets and not build anything it told me to lol

[keen sparrow]

Like, me as a kid would love the Lego we have now

[wraith quiver]

i just looked for the most technical pieces and tried to make a mech or ship to the theme of the box lol

[fallen frost]

Old lego was better imo

[wicked dagger]

1 Hour mech race build 🙂

[keen sparrow]

Me as a kid would absolutely lose his goddamn mind if he saw this game

[rugged jolt]

Tbh I don't think its that the front is too thick, but that the rear isn't wide enough

[wraith quiver]

i woudlnt have slept for a week finding this as a kid

[rugged jolt]

The engine wings on the original are OBSCENELY wide

[keen sparrow]

Yeah, it's one of my favorite Star Wars design language examples

In the words of Porkins, you're "almost there"

stay on target

[tranquil rover]

any thoughts on my build? what could i add all feedback is appreciated 🙂

[rugged jolt]

Actually looking at this the front may be too thin 😂

Its a lot stockier than my design

but the angles make it hard to do a 1:1

[keen sparrow]

I try not to stay in the builder for too long without backing out and saving, because for some reason my computer likes to reboot while editing corvettes

[rugged jolt]

Would you be able to grab some screenshots in space?

I find the station views are very noisy for seeing all the details

[tranquil rover]

i will do 🤙

[fallen frost]

Looks good, all a matter if you like the design or not really

[keen sparrow]

Nice; it's giving "armored troop transport" vibes

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

[rugged jolt]

Maybe if I try to get the shape more towards this

But I think at the end of the day the biggest issue are the wings not having enough width

[tranquil rover]

that’s what i was going for thank you 🙏🏼

[keen sparrow]

Yeah idk if you ever played Supreme Commander

But it looks like it would fit into that

[rugged jolt]

Yea looks good to me

The hover wings aren't really my style typically but I love seeing how people use them for unique builds

[keen sparrow]

They're just cosmetic, right? No stats?

[tranquil rover]

i’m pretty sure cosmetic only

[rugged jolt]

I think most of the decorations give very small stat boosts

[keen sparrow]

But do they count as landing gear?

[rugged jolt]

oh

[tranquil rover]

they weren’t mine tbh i started using them when i was struggling to fill gaps and create more angles but now i’ve used them a bit they kinda work with anything i build

[tranquil rover]

i don’t think so i’m pretty sure it’s still just landing gear and mag thrusters

[keen sparrow]

Don't you just love it when you find a VERY expensive part as scrap like 15 minutes after bartering for it

Scrapping is cruel but super random lol

[rugged jolt]

The issue with this is If I were to shorten the front and make the middle longer, it would give much more of a beefy look to the center part and overwhelm the tail section. And I can't exactly widen the tail section because of part limitations.

Because there aren't cylinder pieces

or large enough engines

[sleek oasis]

such a beauty

[wraith quiver]

ooh all nice

[abstract crow]

Well now I have a new ship design to try when I get home. Saw a solid Republican Gunship and I now have to try to build it.

[rugged jolt]

that gives me an idea

probably a bad one but lets see

[sleek oasis]

the consular is gonna be my next project

[rugged jolt]

Personal recommendation after making this mistake myself: START with the engines

They're probably the most important part to get the dimensions right on

[sleek oasis]

dunno, might make it 3 high

[rugged jolt]

I've made a few that were vaugely consular shaped in the past, but that was my first attempt at making a true consular

[rugged jolt]

3 high for each engine casing, then 1 mid to connect each one?

[sleek oasis]

for the ship

[rugged jolt]

My front section ends up 3 high with the rear being 1 high

[sleek oasis]

I think if you just use the round engine thingies they're too small

I feel like it needs some blocks between to make it bigger

[rugged jolt]

Oh I was also at the part limit so I couldn't expand the engines after

Did you see the screenshots of my full build?

[dim imp]

Okay

Finished.

[sleek oasis]

just from above or under

[cold ruin]

goofy unsc frigate recreation

[rugged jolt]

These @sleek oasis

[rugged jolt]

oooooh I like that

[dim imp]

Using a phone because I’m full screen.

[sleek oasis]

so the back part you use for the sides of the middle part

if only you could put them the other way 😡

[rugged jolt]

Have you considered using some decorative pieces to add detail on the flat surfaces? the vents and such? Doesn't need to be on the entire section ofc

[rugged jolt]

Dude ikr

It gets me every time

Its such a good piece shape but whyyyyyyyyy cant I rotate it

[sleek oasis]

to mirror them

[rugged jolt]

But yea absolutely ping me once you get that consular built

I'd love to see it

[cold ruin]

i already reached the part limit so no

[sleek oasis]

it doesn't count

[dim imp]

And the back

[sleek oasis]

decorative pieces aren't the same as ship pieces

[fringe stag]

anyone know a way to get working doors inside a corvette? for example i'm hoping to get a door for my "captains cabin", but even with the Beyond Base building mod, the door cant be scaled down enough to fit and be functional

[rugged jolt]

Darn

[dim imp]

Sadly, no.

[rugged jolt]

Kind of surprised you reached the piece limit

Just from looking it doesn't seem like theres a ton on there

[fringe stag]

aw rip, as a second best, and methods for a sort of "curtain" design? i tried the tied drapes, but it just doesn't fit an access point well :(

[rugged jolt]

If you need a reference image I just found this one (wish I had found it before I started building)

[cold ruin]

i dont think there are doors

[fringe stag]

</3

SEAN HEAR MY PRAYERS FOR INTERIOR DOORS ON CORVETTES 🙏 xD

[sleek oasis]

This one is crazy

[rugged jolt]

Dang how

[sleek oasis]

decorative pieces

there's no limit and it doesn't count on the 100 parts

[fringe stag]

Thats insane
I hope the owner never joins a multiplayer and goes to any stations though lmao, or rip everyones pc xD

[cold ruin]

holy hell

i need someone to recreate the cas from halo now and crash everyones' pc's when flying into the anomaly

[sleek oasis]

its obv not as big as a freighter, kind of a mini imperial class

[cold ruin]

(they're prob bigger than the dreadnought, resurgent and even space stations)

[sleek oasis]

but it looks amazing

[rugged jolt]

I keep getting bugs where the decorative pieces do not stick to my ship on launch so I'd be terrified to try something that intense

[sleek oasis]

I used stickers for my razor crest and didnt have any issues

[cold ruin]

oh hell nah

getting parts stuck under the space station floor whilst ur building is hell

[rugged jolt]

screensaver worthy

[rugged jolt]

Happens to me for I think 1 in 3 builds

Lights on the last ship

sails on one before that

what do you guys think

i wanted to make something that wasnt entirely bulk

yes

i think they need to up complexity to 200

[compact basin]

HELL YEAH

[wicked dagger]

So ..... 65 minutes later !!!!

[cold ruin]

so peak

[grand kayak]

oh i loveee
ive been wanting to see more mecha designs
how did you do the feet?

slash landing gear

[wicked dagger]

Was from this as an idea - and it flies and is useable 😀

[grand kayak]

attempting El Gato Prime
the lack of neck makes it look more like a frog. oh well.
any suggestions for a tail?

[rapid skiff]

staggered scaffolding?

[grand kayak]

I tried making a madcat (battletech) but didnt have the parts at the time.. I might try again

[grand kayak]

will try that ty!

[rapid skiff]

can probably just add a single walkway behind the cockpit to mimmic a neck too.

[wicked dagger]

I started with a landing pad in teh middle - built the rest and then deleted it

[stone sinew]

I only have the one corvette so far, but I feel like I've been improving the design as I go. 🙂

[wicked dagger]

Now I just need to put an entrance in it that I can reach 😂

[hardy oracle]

I think that's the best way to go about it, it really lets you grow attached to your new mobile home. 🙂

[wicked dagger]

That still looks pretty damn cool. YOu coudl glich offset some caffolds to make a long neck and then cover in plates

[stone sinew]

Wholeheartedly agree!

[grand kayak]

ohh good idea, ty!
I was hoping to make a liger (zoid) but these parts are too big. and i couldnt find anything to mimic teeth gah

[grand kayak]

LOL

[distant sleet]

just started playing during expedition 19. Happy with my cozy frog ship but might make another

he looks better on the ground when his feet are extended

[stone sinew]

It looks good! Kind of reminds me of a tank tbh. 🙂

[tight vault]

Used some glitch building to make myself a Tie Advanced

[rugged jolt]

@sleek oasis Made a second version to see if I could get the scaling better, and while I did, I hit the part limit pretty quickly and couldn't get as much detail in as I wanted to.

[lament leaf]

So cool

[lament leaf]

Get some cardio walking to the cockpit lol

[rugged jolt]

If 2 flights of stairs is too much then my character needs the cardio 😂

The boarding pad is at the nose

[lament leaf]

Ooooh, got it

[rugged jolt]

Compared to some of my other builds its not too bad lol

I think the first design looks better as its own ship

but this one fits the inspiration a lot better

[lament leaf]

The antenna's are a cool idea

[rugged jolt]

Had to slap em on

Wouldn't look right without em

[bronze scaffold]

hello guys one question, so i was trying to summon my corvetter, but i cannot make it work, i have been trying to look for my corvette everywhere to repair it but i couldnt find it, any help?

[lament leaf]

I hope they add custom colors. And a 3 or 6 sided part would allow for diagonal angles

[sleek oasis]

Looks good

[lament leaf]

Hmm, maybe summon another ship to fly back to it?

[bronze scaffold]

i dont know where the corvette is

[sleek oasis]

Missing some white paint tho

[bronze scaffold]

I summoned my other ship and try and find it, in the space stacion, in the freighter, but nothing

[lament leaf]

I believe that you can warp to another system and it will follow, but I'm not 100% sure

[bronze scaffold]

I already did that and still it says that is in critical damage, and i cannot summon it

[bronze scaffold]

I dont know why

[lament leaf]

From orbit, does it show an icon on the surface?

[bronze scaffold]

Is like when any of your normal ships get in critical state, you just go to yout freighter, and repair it there, but i cannot find where my corvette is storaged

[rugged jolt]

I'll add some paint and fix the tail a bit ( tail has a slight W shape to it that I dislike

[bronze scaffold]

nop same message

[wicked dagger]

Has anyone made teh teleporter work within a corvette?

[lament leaf]

There should be a teleporter in the landing bay of the freighter to get to corvetts

[bronze scaffold]

Where?

[hardy oracle]

On the opposide end of the hangar from the stairs

[wraith quiver]

the interior teleporters in the build menu do not work on the corvettes.

[wicked dagger]

Booo

[wraith quiver]

hisss even

[hoary agate]

Why i cant free cam when building and decorating on corvette??

[bronze scaffold]

No corvette is shown

OKAY I AM FREAKING OUT

I SPEND 17 HOURS ON THAT SHIP

HELP PLEASE

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

[lament leaf]

My next hunch would be to summon it in the corvette hangar at a space station

[lament leaf]

Or find an ship icon from orbit

[bronze scaffold]

Same message

[rugged jolt]

Looks better with the white paint for sure

[hardy oracle]

Reverting to an earlier save might be a good idea if you can't find your corvette

[bronze scaffold]

Is there a list

Of saves?

Cause after i lost the ship the game saved automatically

[hardy oracle]

The game automatically keeps two saves, if you need more you have to make your own backups ahead of time

[bronze scaffold]

I made a save wayy before a lost my ship

But is not showing

both are like 2 min recent

[hardy oracle]

One of those saves will never be overwritten with autosave though, it can only be overwritten by saving triggered by player action

[lament leaf]

Someone mentioned that they went to their base and could summon from there

[bronze scaffold]

I think i did, by getting inside my other ship

[hardy oracle]

Yeah, getting in won't save but getting out will

[bronze scaffold]

I did

So yall telling me i lost my ship?

[wicked dagger]

But .... this is cool !!!

[hardy oracle]

Well, you lost access. Hope is not entirely lost though. Some people in this channel have said that the ship could still be in your save file and accessible through save edits. I don't personally know anything about that though.

[lament leaf]

Have you tried summoning from a base?

[fallow canopy]

Heres a cargo ship I made

[hardy oracle]

I like the containers!

[fallow canopy]

Took the head from a consular and slapped it on there

[bronze scaffold]

Well yes, it says that is only damaged, thats why it cannot be summoned, but i dont know what else to do

[bronze scaffold]

Yes same "cannot summon ship due critical damage" message

[fallow canopy]

I tried using the industrial crane but sadly it doesn't work for corvettes

[lament leaf]

Have you tried repairing the damaged modules?

[bronze scaffold]

Thats the thing, i cannot find my ship to repair the modules

Is not stored on the space station, neither freighter

So i dont know where my corvette is

[lament leaf]

Try switching to it from the x menu, then attempt a repair from the e menu

[rugged jolt]

Love it! Mine and yours almost look like theyd be from the same company

[fallow canopy]

That one looks sick dude

I should probably put some more scaffolding on mine now that I think about it

[bronze scaffold]

Is not letting me switch, same message

[hardy oracle]

Possible good news, I just tested on my own freighter. The corvette is there and accessible without using the teleporter too. Not sure if yours will be but I just exited the freighter through a door I built inside it and could fly to the corvette

[bronze scaffold]

can you show me where?? pleaseee

it might help

[rugged jolt]

It looks great to space out the containers

[bronze scaffold]

In the TP i just have this message

[rugged jolt]

If you were to put scaffolding on I would probably just do it where the container meets the ship

It makes it look more like machinery is holding it in place rather than just glued to the side of the ship

[lament leaf]

There are 2 of those teleporters. Perhaps its on the other one?

[bronze scaffold]

Same for both

[lament leaf]

Oh ok.

[bronze scaffold]

Where is that?

[fallow canopy]

Sounds like a great idea, I'll give it a shot

[chilly oasis]

Teleport to a space station

[bronze scaffold]

Done

[chilly oasis]

I get the same message on my freighter for my corvette but it always shows up in a space station

[bronze scaffold]

in the space station i get this

[distant sleet]

feel like big corvettes are just tedius if you have to walk a ways to get to the cockpit

[fallow canopy]

I put my walkway directly under my cockpit

I just look down and teleport immediately

[abstract saffron]

It’ll be better once short range teleporters work

[bronze scaffold]

Mine are empty :c

[hardy oracle]

You have to fly far enough away that the game recognizes you as not on the freighter

[abstract saffron]

I would love if they allowed you to clear out the joints between walls like on freighters, I want to make a cargo hold for my ironclad I made but I can’t

😭

[distant sleet]

had one so big it wouldnt even load in right half the time and went back to a small 4 hull one

[abstract saffron]

I assume they’re gonna add more stuff to them cuz it’s a new thing

Qol stuff and more pieces

[viscid topaz]

Got this pic of my ship

[wise wigeon]

In addition to not being able to place them side-by-side, the seamless windows also all create this gap in the hull

[dim imp]

Well, in remaking my corvette, it seems I managed to make a better ship than I started with. Somehow.

[hardy oracle]

Heh, it's ironic that the item is called "Seamless window", isn't it?

[wise wigeon]

lmfao yeah it sure makes a lot of seams

[wicked dagger]

If you are starting from scratch put in the bare minimum parts and then go out of edit and cram all the spare slots with upgrades. then when you add parts it will make more slots for them

Ohhh Balls 😂

[bronze scaffold]

Did it, everything still empty

[distant sleet]

nice way to hide those ugly shields

[bronze scaffold]

Where are corvettes stored??

[abstract saffron]

If ur on pc u should just get the parts limit removal mod

[blissful helm]

What is a object I can place next to the cockpit on that flat area instead of the window to make it not look so ugly?

[hardy oracle]

You've made the front pretty flat so it's a bit of an uphill battle from there. If you're absolutely set on that square shape you could add some spiky bits sticking out of the front. Perhaps something like supercruise cowling and then a vesper diffuser on the outside of that?

[blissful helm]

Gotcha

[grand kayak]

unfortunately I think i started building it too close to the edge, it wont let me make a very long "tail"
this was the best I could do :/ i guess it can be a short bushy one
theres not a way of moving the whole corvette around is there?

[tranquil rover]

thoughts? i’m making a fleet as you wish of armoured troop ships

as per my last ship i posted

[hardy oracle]

Don't think so, no. I ended up rebuilding my whole ship because I wanted to re-align the beam down point to a better spot. I was going to rearranged a bunch of things anyway though, so it all worked out well 🙂

[grand kayak]

ackkk
oh well
thank you for the info!!

[abstract saffron]

Damn I need to learn how to build better with corvettes

How to turn some of the parts sideways

[dim imp]

So I made the ship more compact.

And did a much better job decorating the inside.

[bronze scaffold]

please someone else got other solucion for this ALL my inventory is on my corvette

[blissful helm]

This looks so much better lol

[grand kayak]

wait i took the top stack off the tail and i think its Decent
the stats are kinda garbage but oh well. i love cats
if I have less of a migraine another day I'll try moving it forward and redoin the tail

[solar dune]

If you have any like containers on bases, each numbered one of them is directly connected to the same numbered container in the corvette (as far as I know)

[bronze scaffold]

Whenever i try that, is says corvette not in dock

[solar dune]

I mean

If you change ships

I think (?) you can call it down?

Through the summon other ships thing

Orrr you go to a space station and there’s smth to repair it there

Never had a damaged ship and I just started like 3 days ago so I’m not 100% sure

[bronze scaffold]

To give you some context, i travelled to another gallaxy, and my corvette is damaged, when i tried to summon it, it said i cannot cause is damaged, but i cannot find my corvett, in the space station says not in dock, and if i summon it says ship damaged, in the freighter says no corvette in dock

[rapid skiff]

... i supposed this is a bad time to mention i hate underwater sh*t...

[limpid karma]

you must go

[bronze scaffold]

I got no ship there apparently

[dim imp]

Yeaaaaah, there’s very little underwater that’s actually threatening but boy the tension….

[solar dune]

I rlly dk

[solar dune]

Not even in the corvette bay?

[bronze scaffold]

Where is that? in the freighter?

or where

[solar dune]

Nah it’s in the space station

Where you make the corvette

And allat

[bronze scaffold]

Nope, it says no corvette in dock if i try to edit, and if i summon it says chip critical damaged

[rugged jolt]

Inspiration image is there too but I strayed a bit from the original whihle I was adding on more parts

[solar dune]

Summon it on a planet base? The Reddit ppl said it worked for them on a post

[solar dune]

I kinda wanna make the aurora from subnautica but that’s more frigate than corvette

[bronze scaffold]

Someone after the 20th attempt it let me spawn it in space, for no reason, literally 15 min trying to spawn it somewhere and i got the same mesasage over and over

[rugged jolt]

It could definitely be done

[bronze scaffold]

RECOMENDATION FOR EVERYONE, NEVER TRAVEL TO ANOTHER GALAXY WITH YOUR CORVETTE

[solar dune]

Orrrr

Spread ur inventory

So yk

Don’t lose EVERYTHING

[bronze scaffold]

Is just that this sip is my maxed maxed ship. i bought all the upgrades, and all the inventory possible

[mild stratus]

Something I just whipped up cus i was bored not sure how I feel about it yet 😅

[rugged jolt]

It gives "nasa but if we were a race of sentient beetles" vibes

In a good way

[solar dune]

Mines legit like

Barebones

I’m NOT using creative for my ship I wanna grind for it frfr

[rugged jolt]

I do creative then go grind the parts to build it in my legit save

No point in farming out a ton of parts just to realize I hate the design

[small plaza]

Looks good

[rugged jolt]

Idk what style I want to go for next

[solar dune]

Fair

Might do that

[rugged jolt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMCBerD42IA

[mild stratus]

I actually kinda like that i literally just wanted to make a smaller ship than my main ship because she's THIIIIICCCC ill probably continue to tinker with this design (main ship left)

[rugged jolt]

I've seen this so might do something similar

[rugged jolt]

Yea I really like that one

[mild stratus]

My ship building slowly getting better this new ship has gone sc slots so definitely a keeper

[wraith quiver]

love all those.

[rugged jolt]

I think I'll do an airship style again

I've done 2 sail ships so far

[mild stratus]

That first pics my favourite of all time mainly cus i built my first corvette then found my homeworld because I wanted to do a photshoot 😭(favourite pic not ship)

[wraith quiver]

i feel that lol

im having a hard time making a new corvette because i finally built one that id call perfect for me. even has 3 ssupercharged slots. i just cant think of any other design

[abstract saffron]

Built a ironclad from star citizen only to realize someone on Reddit already made one and it’s better than mine

😭

[rugged jolt]

I wish I could rotate sails to place them upside down

[mild stratus]

Same after I finished my geth ship and main ship my mind went black i literally cannot force myself to build a big block ship i need them sleek

[rapid skiff]

huh, you cant filter your systems list in discoveries by pirate, but you can sort them by everything else? even the uninhabited systems...

[wraith quiver]

that is my issue to the exact tee. im trying to build something blocky but i make them all so slim and love that so much

[rugged jolt]

I might give up on trying to recreate ships, I always feel like someone can do it better and I tend to like my own designs more anyway

Its super hard to recreate a ship 1 to 1

the lame things about pirate stations is that corvettes can only part really far away

maybe i need to go smallship for pirating 😕

[upbeat oracle]

has anyone made the concord using that hub

i wanna use it but i legit cannot make a build where it looks good

someone could def make the concord using it tho

[small plaza]

I kinda made it as my survival basic Corvette

[raw wraith]

Design keeps getting more complex. Hahaha.

[abstract saffron]

Maybe but I like the design of drake ships a lot plus I’ve always kinda struggled creatively with base building and stuff

[wicked shell]

This is the third iteration and it keeps getting better!

[smoky sleet]

Does anyone know how he added that tail? In the Reddit description he said: “Offset glitch used, EVO’s mod for tail fin (it’s a sized up wall piece)”.

[wicked shell]

It also has max engines

[tardy tapir]

Siiiiiick dude. Reminds me of the Onager-class star destroyer minus the wing bits

[pseudo forge]

Love what you can do with engines and glitch building

[smoky sleet]

does anyone know what is a EVO mod?

[distant sleet]

yo how do i make kinostream thruster look good? shits huge

[livid veldt]

When you shrink a base part to smallest scale inside a Corvette, you are told Base Out of Range - gotta make it a little bigger to place. Anyone else seen this?

[distant sleet]

saw this today when posting graffiti in my corvette

[livid veldt]

Please report!

I find different cockpits have different appeal, and fit different style corvette.

So, my plan is to start an ambassador cockpit one eventually. I'll also have different parts available, and that will inspire different design also.

But I'll probably keep a similar interior layout for functionality purposes.

Also, explore what other people have done. Some good ideas out there.

[distant sleet]

yo what are those pieces you have circling the big thrusters?

[dim imp]

My ship. I shortened the neck considerably and the inside is much better decorated.

Aaaaand my tech disappeared???

Oh, bug. Okay, whew

[fallow canopy]

Edited it around and lengthened the ship a bit, I think it does have a pretty sleek and thin profile now while still looking like it could haul a good amount of cargo
