Tf

[buoyant kiln]

well, i know but uh the other side doesn't have it

kinda annoying

[tame idol]

does anyones corvette still feel like its handling slower than a normal starship even with like 2-3k maneuverability

[knotty ore]

So everything is actually installed as tech now?

[orchid blade]

i mean... it is 3-5 times larger, (at a minimum)

[haughty sedge]

seems to be

its so messy 😭

[knotty ore]

Yeah, it seems to be there

[orchid blade]

its like comparing a speed boat to a fishing trauler

[tame idol]

true

i just find it funny how my 600 maneuverability living ship feels more steerable than my giga upgraded corvette

[knotty ore]

You can install a 3rd cannon for another tech piece, but the visuals won't actually make all 3 of your weapons fire at once

[mild crest]

arent living ships super agile right off the bat?

[tame idol]

not really no they kinda have pretty bad controls

[haughty sedge]

I had planned to buy a 3rd s-class upgrade for the photon cannon instead

[orchid blade]

yeah, thats fair, they are meant to be like portable bases rather than starships

[tame idol]

do you guys actually make an area for storage space on your corvettes

[orchid blade]

i still hate that, really hope it becomes a feature

[knotty ore]

Corvettes are going to be inherently slower and bulkier feeling because they actually are larger ships. Think about how small your normal ship is with it's single cockpit and no other extra room, and then think about the corvette with its literal hallways of space and possible internal staircases

[haughty sedge]

the 2nd floor of mine has all 10 containers

[tame idol]

cuz after realizing they dont show up on the inventory like freighters do, i kinda just wanna get rid of em all lol

[orchid blade]

true. but they still sync with all your other inventories (i think?)

[tame idol]

yeah but I usually just end up summoning my freighter anyways cuz being able to access everything in one tab is so much more convenient for me

[knotty ore]

If you install single-barrel weapons like the rocket pods, you can actually get up to 4 different beams firing from your ship, but that depends on how you want it to look and whether you care about the extra tech from the installed corvette part

[orchid blade]

but why not photon cannons tooo ;-;

[orchid blade]

yeah, makes sense

[knotty ore]

Cuz double barrel and it only supports 4 barrels atm

[orchid blade]

ohhhh, so if i put it further apart, ill see two distinct beams?

[haughty sedge]

alright this seems okay for now

[knotty ore]

S-class mods can stack and do not conflict

Corvette part tech is seperate and doesn't conflict with other tech

[orchid blade]

🫥

youre telling me that i can have a full multitool of s class scanner upgrades?

[knotty ore]

Notice how you already have 3 S-class photon cannon and 2 corvette part tech as well

[knotty ore]

I meant that the S-class mods you can purchase and install do not conflict with the tech from the corvette parts and you can have 3 of each without overloading the tech

[orchid blade]

ohhhh

ok

good

[haughty sedge]

I'd put a 3rd cannon but tbh my corvette is running out of exterior space 😭

[orchid blade]

i thought i messed up selling an s class upgrade

xD

[knotty ore]

So you can have a 3rd corvette part tech, but it won't work visually

[haughty sedge]

this is my first one so like, I didnt make it like, big

[knotty ore]

They're already big even if you have only base required parts, so it's not hard to get bigger 😂

[haughty sedge]

wish I could make a corvette using all the parts in the game, save it as a blueprint, and then have the game provide me with a list of all the parts I used so I can go and get them

so much better than like, winging it with parts you may or may not have I guess

[knotty ore]

There is a way to do that...in a sense

[haughty sedge]

ye creative mode and manually keeping track i assume?

[tame idol]

this is why i went on a giga farming spree of like

10 of each part

[haughty sedge]

ye i gotta do that at some point

[tame idol]

and i didnt even end up using more than half of them

apart from trading in for a specific part i needed

[knotty ore]

Build the ship and save it. Put all extra parts in storage cache. Then strip it of all the parts and they will go into your inventory and you will have your list of parts.

Unless you meant the game allowing you to 'preview build' before having the parts

Which would be cool but doesn't exist...yet

[haughty sedge]

thats a good work-around

[knotty ore]

Only downside is it requires you to strip your ship to get the parts list, so if you actually wanted it built then you gotta redo it cuz the game saves a restore point when you finalize corvette builds

I wish it would only autosave instead

But if you build the ship at first in a creative save, then it's totally an easy work around

[torpid glade]

Do corvette count towards our total ship count and can they be stored like our other ships?

[mild crest]

you can have 12 corvettes iirc

[mild stratus]

You can't store corvettes unfortunately

[torpid glade]

That sucks but atleast we can have 12 of them 😁

[west geyser]

This happened to me, warped out into a dreadnought battle to discover all of my actual corvette parts gone, including weapons. Highly confusing bugs.

[grave quest]

Has anyone experienced a bug where your Corvette gets converted into a different type of regular ship? It’s happened a few times when using my second Corvette build and then summoning my freighter. Very strange.

[haughty sedge]

glad it wasnt just me, at least theres a reliable way to fix it haha

[wraith quiver]

a lot have people have been having corvette issues in multi

[buoyant kiln]

Well, kind of understandable.
They are new so they will have a lot of bugs

[wraith quiver]

oh yeah im sure theyll get polished out. Its a big big updated there was bound to be bugs. im glad theyre taking their time so that we can find more bugs and knock em all out or at least get them acknowledged

[placid hatch]

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for the developers to fix whatever bug has caused my corvette to simply be deleted.

200 hours of ship tech and tons of design hours, and it's just gone. I love the game but I am so upset about this.

[vestal kelp]

Can't revert to an older save?

[wraith quiver]

yeah im sure enough people have mentioned it for it to be something thats taken care of soon. definitely just load a save as soon as something is wonky

one time i landed on my frieghter and poof. lost a corvette i was sent into space floating by the freighter

Loaded a save got my vette back

[placid hatch]

I don't know when it went missing, but I haven't been making manual saves locally. I spent the last day or two just using portals between settlements and base building.

Is there a reliable way to grab an older save?

[wraith quiver]

another time i was painting my same corvette, somehow poof. deleted right in the editor.

loaded a save and just fine

hit start go to options load save.

[placid hatch]

Yeah that last save was 2 minutes ago, it's not there

[wraith quiver]

or restore point. whichever timing seems right

look at the time stamps and choose the older one

[mild crest]

yall got any idea how this design would be possible with the current corvette stuff

[wraith quiver]

definitely.

well you could get VERY close at least

[mild crest]

i plan on using beyond base building for the side doors but idk about this area

[placid hatch]

yeah that's my point, I lost it sometime in the last 2 days of not using it. It's not in my oldest (2 minutes ago) save

[mild crest]

blockier ships are always easier imo

ig i'd have to load up the game and actually try myself to find out

[wraith quiver]

yeah thats something youre gonna wanna do immediately as you see your corvette missing

sounds like it was saved after it was gone

[placid hatch]

Yes probably, I'm not getting it back. I'm just adding more noise for the team to see yet another year one buyer upset about losing their progress due to this bug.

[west geyser]

It happened on my second save file and fixed itself like a day later. My first save file is still unplayable right now, corvette and everything in it just vanished when I summoned it, like 9 days ago

[wraith quiver]

if im honest with you im playing in creative til the bugs are ironed out

[upper gate]

So...... just did a load of parrts trading, and whilst my offers were accepted, the parts actually never appeared.
A quick google says that its a known bug, and that they are gone for good, along with the parts I gave up.
Posting this here unless anybody knows of a way to get them back (go back a save, look elsewhere for the parts etc)

[abstract crow]

If your exosuit inventory is full, the parts (used to) not register as being traded for. At least, that's what happened to me when the update first dropped.

Was working on a dropship design before work. Was having some issues with the bay door designs, but hopefully what I decided on will look good.

[wraith quiver]

go back a save

[upper gate]

How do I do thatt?

[wraith quiver]

anytime theres an issue i go back a save.

start and then go to options to the right

and then look at the time stamps and choose one that works for you

[upper gate]

thank you

[wraith quiver]

and then id leave that station to a new one and try to sell there just in case

[junior current]

What is this part called?

I really need this style of grilled, riveted-looking joint

[thorn isle]

So. The game just replaced my corvette with the starter ship.
What do I do now. I restarted and its still the starter ship. Is there any way I can recover my corvette

[sage wolf]

@thorn isle were you playing online in a group?

[thorn isle]

I have a backup from yesterday thankfully but I will have still lost a lot of progress.

I was in an area where there was one other, but we weren't grouped.

[alpine drift]

Is the stats good enough??? From what i see is that the parts stats are cap. You only need around like 3 jet engines to make it cap no matter the tiers. Even rarer tier don't boost the stats that much.

[sage wolf]

I've seen this issue reported multiple times and it seems to be related to multiplayer. I suggest anyone with a corvette they care about not use it with multiplayer enabled until this is fixed

[slender gulch]

How do I get the advanced corvette parts? Cause I gotta trade for them

[sage wolf]

@thorn isle seems to be an issue with ships between players getting swapped. You didn't get THE starter ship, you got someone else's starter ship

And it's possible they have your corvette now

I've been working on a corvette but I've been avoiding using it in multiplayer

[thorn isle]

You're serious? No way.. no that ship was 180 damn parts and someone else now has it?

[sage wolf]

I don't know for sure if they have it, just that it's a possibility

[slender gulch]

What kind of parts did you have

[sage wolf]

But you have their ship now

[thorn isle]

That person was in a.. whats it called. Starsomething phoenix. The one that hovers.

It dissapeared after I summoned my freighter, then boom. Start ship.

[sage wolf]

It may have not been the person closest to you, just anyone in the system or anomaly

Corvettes are insanely bugged in multiplayer right now

Also there's no fix for this unless you have an older save to load

To anyone reading this: if you care about your corvette, turn off multiplayer until this is fixed

[ivory heart]

Tie Defenseless

[thorn isle]

...dammit. thats completely killed my desire to play for now.. thanks for the help anyways..

[sage wolf]

Also avoid summoning your freighter when using a corvette as that seems to have issues even with multiplayer off

[ivory heart]

Or make backups of the corvette files often

[sage wolf]

This can be very difficult if you're on console

[ivory heart]

Ah indeed

[thorn isle]

Luckily I backed up yesterday, but thats still 10 hours progress gone..

[ivory heart]

Some planets have salvage beacons with yellow markers, spend half an hour teleporting down from your corvette to grab them and you should end with a cargo container full of parts

[ivory heart]

Thats not how center of mass works silly

[rancid sedge]

3 ships as one?

[tulip dagger]

Whats the future use of the medi beds?

[sage wolf]

They just dropped a new patch but it doesn't seem to address the corvette swapping issue

[orchid blade]

Just shoot them with the corvette.

Pin them with E on the visor.
Hop back in the seat and shoot the surface

[raven jewel]

So how does corvette design affect manouvrebility?

Changing wing layout affects the value, but i cant seem to figure out how and why it does

[tulip dagger]

Different wing and other parts have different % values that change the different stats. I havent messed with wings much, but the heavier it gets hte less manueverable they seem to get.

[raven jewel]

Is there a place those values are shown?

[muted glacier]

TBH I'd be up for that trade. It's easier to get the corvette

[sleek oasis]

nice

[muted glacier]

Base structures too pls

[wary hearth]

They are not connected they give you a little distance ahead of cockpit to build

But yes it’s 3 ships instead of just one

[rancid sedge]

cool

[wary hearth]

That is an issue but I have it almost center lol it’s just for looks I don’t really fly this

[native mortar]

So can we change the colours of our corvette interiors now? And am I still stuck with a useless photon cannon?

[sleek oasis]

did they fix the module bug? I can't seem to find it in the patch notes

[static monolith]

does anyone know how to fix this issue it has happened on another ship i built and i just took that one apart

thats inside my ship that whole should not be there

its not on the outside

[abstract fable]

Used offset building tech?

[pseudo charm]

no one knows. but I hope it's to heal or save game

[static monolith]

no i just built it normal

on the other side i am getting this

[abstract fable]

Is there any sort of wall-module on the opposite side of either the panels you're looking at? (left or straight ahead)

Like storage units, mission terminals, etc

[static monolith]

nope i have not put anything in the ship yet

[abstract fable]

Can you access the HAB with the broken corner from the outside and replace it with another type?

[static monolith]

on the outside there is no gap i will take pics and show the outside on both spots

[abstract crow]

I think I've reached the point of ship building where every new design idea automatically starts with the hab glitch in case I want to flip parts. Just have a doubled-up hab off to the side at all times.

[static monolith]

this is one spot its happening in and i think that outside part might be whats doing it

[abstract fable]

Yea, try to isolate that HAB from anything that touches it and see if it persists

The windows are notorious for doing that :x
Mine always tend to break connected HABs and doorways on the inside

[static monolith]

and this is outside of the 1st one i sent and where the whole on inside is

so its a different part on this side causing it if its the part i will remove them to see

its not those parts the wholes are still here

i wonder if taking the walkway out and putting it back will fix it because its not a hab its the half hab that are called a walkway

nope that didnt work either they both do have a landing gear under them could that be it?

its not he landing gear

[primal heart]

Just an FYI if you find those exotic items you can keep and display them at your base don't ever put them on your corvette they won't come off lol

[static monolith]

really wish i could figure out what is doing this i like this ship i made its the 2nd version of it the 1st one had no holes and its the same design i just changed some things on the top and the enterance to the ship

[abstract crow]

Just put something in front of the glitch. Out of sight, out of mind.

[static monolith]

see this is what it looks like from the outside

[abstract fable]

Can just report it and hope for more bugfixes :D

Nice

[static monolith]

the old version of it looked like this

[wicked shell]

behold the smallest offset I have been able to make

[static monolith]

wondering if i should go back to the old arcadia sublight thruster over the new ones

[abstract fable]

Your MK2 looks great tbh!

[static monolith]

thank you

[sinful fulcrum]

im new to the game how much units would i spend to build something like this?

[buoyant orchid]

Taking about the extra snap point?

[buoyant orchid]

A couple clicks to make it all free.

[sinful fulcrum]

oh?

[buoyant orchid]

Explain 👮‍♂️

[static monolith]

well i did send the bug report with the pictures so here is hoping they work on it

[buoyant orchid]

Well of course that was a troll answer, but referring to how you can go to difficulty settings anytime to change the "rules" of the game, even if you only want it temporarily.

[sinful fulcrum]

so theres a option you turn and everything is free in the game?

lol

[static monolith]

you know with all the part farming i have done there is still a few parts i have only ever gotten 1 of and there is one i want a second one of but im being cheap and dont want to trade for it are some parts just more rare ?

[hardy oracle]

Yep, creative mode

[hardy oracle]

No, random things are just being random

[static monolith]

its the Arcadia S-foil that i want more of but only ever got 1 so far out of the over 200 parts i have farmed

[buoyant orchid]

Either a new game in creative mode or customize whatever mode you're on. You can make various specific aspects easier or harder.

[static monolith]

200 is a small guess i think i farmed more

[hardy oracle]

200 is a pretty small number, certainly not enough to be guaranteed to get all parts

[static monolith]

well fine your going to make me add them up give me a few minutes

[hardy oracle]

Random does not mean evenly distributed

[sinful fulcrum]

so that ship is too expensive to be made legit?

[hardy oracle]

No, corvettes are cheap, it doesn't take long to gather salvage

[buoyant orchid]

@sinful fulcrum You could be a stickler for playing the mode you're on as intended but regardless if you are or not, take a look at the settings! Always good to know.

Still means you have to find or get blueprints, etc though, AFAIK.

Yeah just go Corvette part hunting lol

[hardy oracle]

You can get a few parts per minute once you get the rhythm going and have a ballista equipped

[wicked shell]

I have a video on youtube of how to do it, but basically you can place your ship super far back and based on the density of parts on the left right or forward sections you can manipulate how far the offset becomes to a rediculous degree. this is my current gradient, I am just creating iteration after iteration to get the perfect one for my thruster design and to use as a basis for all future ships by copying the ship in my save editor once I have a template ship.

[sharp plinth]

It's hard to create something of your own when you don't have all the details to see how it looks.

[wooden flint]

which piece do we use to reverse snap landing bays? can we even do that?

[hardy oracle]

Another type of reverse landing bay than you get just by scrolling?

[sharp plinth]

oh, reddit ignored my ship, but I was so hoping to hear criticism or ideas for changes

[dawn gyro]

90 million usd for this one

[wooden flint]

oh. nvm...

[buoyant orchid]

Lol

[static monolith]

ok so parts in corvette storage is 707 not counting the 2 corvettes i made so ad another 40 parts give or take

[sinful fulcrum]

whoa is that cheap

[buoyant orchid]

@wicked shell y u no hav YT link in profile?

But that's pretty cool. I've heard of the concept. Thanks.

[hardy oracle]

With those numbers you would have a decent chance of having at least one of each, but random drops are just never guaranteed

[wicked shell]

I jsut made it today lol I will add it.

[static monolith]

yeah and i noticed my guess was way off i did not know i farmed so many but i started using the easy way to farm scan from the corvette and shoot it with your ship

[wicked shell]

Done

[hardy oracle]

But that is what we have the trade system for, to compensate for randomness

Surely you have way too many of some part at this point

[static monolith]

yeah just the arcadia s foil is not a cheap trade if i remember right when i looked last so i just have to be willing to give up something i have low numbers of and hope i dont need that part lol

[hardy oracle]

By the way, the % chance to trade is nonsense. They sometimes get accepted and sometimes not

There is also no cost to failing a trade

[static monolith]

yeah i know that and i do have 20 of these i wonder what % they give

[hardy oracle]

Try just 2 or 3 in a trade

[buoyant orchid]

Cool, can't watch it now but I'll leave the video playing.

[static monolith]

ambassador class landing bay give 57% chance and i have like 10 of them i doubt i need 10 of those

[buoyant orchid]

And use a screen recorder! Lol
Steam's or Windows's win+shift+R at least if you're on those platforms. 😁

[wicked shell]

Also when renaming a ship you have to use a save editor since the autogenerated name will always show up in the cockpit otherwise and my method stacks with hab rotation and also rockwing offsets as well.

[static monolith]

oh dang the ceto reactor that i have 20 of gives a 99% chance just for 1 of them

[wicked shell]

I had obs as my main but I removed it last night while troubleshooting game crashes lol

[buoyant orchid]

Your trick causes the name sticking? Otherwise normally a game restart was enough for me.

[wicked shell]

I will make a much better video once I have some more useful test info. I already can make even offsets on both sides, so that alone should be enough to make a better video on.

[civic turtle]

Why does my corvette no show up after I copy it

[wicked shell]

I just wanted to get the concept out there so people smarter than me can have at it and test it more

[static monolith]

i fixed the holes i was using the titan walk way i changed them to the thunderbird and no more holes

[rugged jolt]

When I had started this one I was going for more of a space station/orbiter kind of vibe, but as I progressed (read: ran into complexity limit) I ended up going more of a bounty hunter/pirate sort of style

[static monolith]

so i change out all the titan class walkways to thunderbird and ambassador and all the holes got fixed so is it just a bug with the titan class walkway

[wicked shell]

new curve and the gaps are shrinking

[rugged jolt]

Wanting to build something with this style going for it, but it is super difficult

[static monolith]

i made a star trek like ship

[rugged jolt]

nice!

I like the red

[static monolith]

it has to be remade because i ran in to the same bug i was with my other ship that i might have just learned how to fix

[static monolith]

its interesting i will say that i do like the red and white

[static monolith]

if you didnt see it above this is my main one its MK2 version

[ivory heart]

Definitely doable with manual deco but yeah, huge pain

[rancid sedge]

Thinking about trying for Voyager

[rugged jolt]

Manual deco is too buggy for me to try it

[static monolith]

that would be cool

[rugged jolt]

Particularly on the rounder pieces

[ivory heart]

I mean its consistent

Just not user friendly

[rugged jolt]

Its not

consistent

Half the times parts will not stick to the ship and glitch and linger in the station after takeoff

Hmmm...

That looks doable doesn't it

[rugged jolt]

yeas

yes

[ivory heart]

Idk ive been building a ship with a hull mostly made of deco parts and it hasnt had parts linger at all

[rugged jolt]

It happens to me one in 5 parts roughly

[rancid sedge]

Delta Flyer

[static monolith]

this is my other ship but i love the view from the back more than the front this is front

[pliant falcon]

Am currently working on turning this into a corvette and holy hell making big smooth wings is night impossible (I know offset building exists but I want to resort to using as little glitches as possible)

[wooden flint]

red part of wings look like the radiators, yeah. dunno how to rotate them tho. could easily clip some other parts over them i think tho

[static monolith]

the view from the back it looks like a crab is why i like it more from the back lol

[wooden flint]

love the way those boosters attach

[static monolith]

and that is just the name the game gave the ship lol

[long pawn]

I've gotten that, too. Outside looks normal, inside has this huge gap.

[wooden flint]

Metagross...

[static monolith]

i fixed it btw it might be a problem with the titan class walkways i removed them replaced them with thunderbird and ambassador and the gaps are gone

[static monolith]

umm let me look what parts i used to attach them like that

[rugged jolt]

Heres an example of a build I did. You can see the lights are stuck to the side of the ship in the hangar, but after taking off they completely disappear from the rear. There are also 2 missing parts on the upper ring/

[wooden flint]

i've managed something similar but couldn't quite get my goal result

[static monolith]

it was the hull linkage part i used

i dont get why my crab ship or metagross is higher manoeuvrability than my other ship almost everything for manoeuvrability is the same on each of them

[daring heron]

i try to apply color to all corvette parts, but when i apply modification, its reset again to original color

[wooden flint]

i've no idea how ship stats work and every video i watch is just "pay for ship upgrades"

[static monolith]

yeah i dont get this

[long pawn]

It looks good! It reminds me of the Kzinti ship miniatures from Star Fleet Battles.

[static monolith]

like everything is better on my second ship except shields but they are almost the same shields to

would really like to know what effects the ships stats the most because almost everything is the same on both for boosters and shields and stuff

[long pawn]

Now, that's just damn cool.

[rugged jolt]

Thank you! I did modify the ring a little bit to look more solid because I felt it looked too noisy

[long pawn]

'Eh. I like noisy. 🙂

[gilded prism]

anybody found any homeworld ship designs? there was someone that made a kushan interceptor model corvette but couldnt find much else

[ivory heart]

Yikes

[fallen frost]

I'm getting a strange error.. I built my corvette, flew it away, went back to fine tune it, and I get an error saying all parts must be attached, and they are, no red parts show up... and I just left 5min ago

[gilded prism]

check if you have external posters

[fallen frost]

Never put any up

Even if I delete everything It still says that

[rugged jolt]

This is what she looks like currently

Ring looks a good bit better imo

I think I've made 3 ships with that engine design now

Probably my favorite

[static monolith]

I gave it a paint job i think it looks better now

[rugged jolt]

reminds me of ultramarines

[tame idol]

what are your guys' stats on your corvettes?

[random cliff]

propellers stopped working again after todays patch

[tame idol]

my upgrades are all over the place 😭

[random cliff]

sheesh this ship needs real maintenance

[static monolith]

then it must be Henry Cavill approved

[random cliff]

how do you get this much space mines pretty stacked up and I cant put anymore upgrades

[static monolith]

maybe i should name it the SS Henry Cavill

[tame idol]

wdym, like tech slots?

just upgrade it like any other starship at the back of the space station

[gilded prism]

you have to give some tech up, most people ditch the launcher and the hyperdrive upgrades

[random cliff]

Maybe I put too much

[tame idol]

oh

yeah i kept some upgrades off on purpose

honestly idk i think my ship doesnt really have as much stats as yours probably

[random cliff]

I read somewhere they'll extend tech slots in the future dont know if its reall but I hope it is

[static monolith]

question i know its nanites for rank upgrade but i saw the cost for the other upgrades 75 million is that for just one spot or is that for as many spots for tech and storage you want?

[tame idol]

for one spot lol

[random cliff]

maximum price using units is 75m yes

[gilded prism]

just for the one slot and then the price increases

[random cliff]

max is 75m per slots

[static monolith]

mine is starting at 75 million why

[tame idol]

do you mind reloading your save so i can see your maneuverability stat lol

[random cliff]

it's because you already have a lot of slots

[random cliff]

ask and ye shall recieve

[tame idol]

yeah holy crap your stats are stacked

[random cliff]

there's a bug where when you go to station again and press modify and cancell the maximum manue can go to 3k to 4k

numbers gets bugged

[fallen frost]

I can't figure out this bugged out piece...

[random cliff]

this is actually one of my slowest since I used the weakest bunch of my Xmods

[static monolith]

ok this one says 70 million but i dont think that is a lot

[tame idol]

i need to grind buy a bunch of x mods to start gachaing my stats

[random cliff]

For now it's better if you farm echo for storage slots

[random cliff]

I have 4 sets of em for my sentinels back then

[static monolith]

oh i have some of those

[static monolith]

besides mods for ships do you understand how just building them effects the stats because that is my second ship and for some reason its stats are better than my 1st one and i used most the same stuff

[random cliff]

use em and when you find a camp make sure you get those wheelbarrows around they sometimes give ship or weapon slots depends on your luck but most of the time they give three

[static monolith]

wheelbarrows?

[random cliff]

this things on camp after you use the echo locator on dissonant systems

grab em

[static monolith]

oh i guess i only have one locator right now

[random cliff]

I dont know about it affects stats I just put my upgrades on SC and arrange the techs on each others pair

kill sentinels the lvl5

ez locator

[static monolith]

if you scroll up a bit there is a pic with both my ships and the stats its strange how much better the SS Henry Cavill is over my other one

[tame idol]

also

@random cliff other than the other weapons that im not gonna put on my ship, the only upgrade i didnt really put on is the autocharger

so yeah idk why i have so much space

the last two remaining space is for more photon cannon upgrades

[random cliff]

yeah dont know about that, I have to check youtubers to explain this to me still dont really understand them

[random cliff]

yeah you still got some hyperdrive upgrade mods left now I see why

[static monolith]

also if your wondering why i changed the name of the ship to the SS Henry Cavill its because of Exotic in chat here he said the ship reminded him of the ultramarines and Cavill is a big warhammer 40k fan lol

[tame idol]

those dont really do much if you already have the atlantid drive no?

[random cliff]

yeah it does looks like one of the blue berry boi's ship just chonky

[random cliff]

I think you still need to go to their respective system but if not they still increase hyperdrive stats

[rugged jolt]

I may have just lost all my progress on a build I was wrapping up

[sleek oasis]

1 or 2

[random cliff]

and atlandid im sure they just go to purple systems

[tame idol]

nah atlantid lets you access every system by itself

[random cliff]

2 would be best I think

[random cliff]

it does, noice

stats can still b increased when you put them

[sleek oasis]

3rd option is none at all

[rugged jolt]

I did just loose all progress on this build

Game glitched got stuck in build editor

[tame idol]

but yeah ig thatd be the main point if i wanted to have more hyperdrive range

[rugged jolt]

no way to toggle menues or get out

couldn't place a piece

couldn't save and had to force close the game

[random cliff]

them progress

poof out the system

[rugged jolt]

bruh this is so sad

[static monolith]

i know they are not set up right but why are the ship stats different on these 2 screens ?

[random cliff]

then again you already have a lot of range so you dont really need them

[static monolith]

really its only 1 stat that is

[random cliff]

could be from the placement of techslots, when you build the placement of techslots gets rearrange whenever you move parts and attached it to other places if I understand it right

[static monolith]

well i need to remove something so i can move them around then replace that item

i think i will remove a shield thing

[random cliff]

you cant remove them I think you need them so you can finish your build

[quaint venture]

havent found other ways to make sails

but this one worked ig ?

[static monolith]

what i mean by remove is go into the build menu and remove the part

[random cliff]

still isnt that fixed like every other normal ships

[static monolith]

?

[static monolith]

its a corvette so i mean going into the corvette building screen remove one shield thing so it frees up the tech slot so i can move stuff around ill show you

[random cliff]

oh yeah this is what Im talking about earlier

[tame idol]

god i gotta finish furnishing this so bad

[static monolith]

see i removed a shield thing part and now i can move the stuff around then just put the shield back on in the corvette building thing

[random cliff]

that two thing above and the right side of the rocket tech those are shields

I see after looking at your first screenshot

you put three shield parts

[tame idol]

why is it that far 😭

why is there no teleporter 😭

[random cliff]

that's why I got confuse on what you said on removing the shields, didnt realize you have three

[random cliff]

so true and you can't sprint boost as well

[tame idol]

this is why i have trained my brain into using rocket boots permanently

everytime i start an expedition i feel handicapped without them

[static monolith]

look at that stats went up alot now that i connected them lol

[random cliff]

yes that's how you increase them

put mods as well and connect them to each other

[static monolith]

yeah need more tech slots for mods but i mean i have not played the game in years so when i heard about corvettes i came back and just started fresh with the expedition

[tame idol]

also do it more in a square pattern than a line so that theyre more adjacent to each other

[random cliff]

we have the same reason for coming back

after learning about the update I quickly hopped on

[static monolith]

yeah i redownloaded finished the expenditon and started building ships

[sleek oasis]

this might be the final design, I dig the antennas

[random cliff]

I havent finished expedition yet

imma do it on the last weel

[static monolith]

my other ship has more inventory space its the one i got from the expedition and i think that is why its 75 millions for an upgrade

[random cliff]

show us the top view photo I wanna see the shape

[random cliff]

aren't expiditions sometimes gives storage slots in quest

[random cliff]

did they gave some

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

[random cliff]

how many can you still put

[fallen frost]

So after I built my ship, I added some lights using the base builder z, but they disappeared unless I view ship with tab.. so I can't delete them.. but they show up randomly

[random cliff]

just a few parts here and there and it's gonna be thicc

[static monolith]

yeah this expedition gives a lot of storage not just for the corvette but for the player as well this is a new character this is my storage

[random cliff]

when you remove the part on ship builder it also removes the things you attached to it that might remove things that you can't get have that problem a lot

[fallen frost]

Super annoying

[sleek oasis]

hmm 🤔

[static monolith]

and this is my 1st corvettes cargo

[random cliff]

it is, just imagine design on planet and you have to fly again to station just to edit it

[random cliff]

damn that's a lot of slots

[static monolith]

it has 1 more tech slot to i think then my other one and i moving stuff around right now on it

because i have that supercharge slot

[random cliff]

my suppose to be smuggler ship only have a few

[raw wraith]

Goofy bug with corvette stairs during pulse jumps...

[random cliff]

what in the atlas just happened

[static monolith]

one thing i noticed if you build the cargo things in your ship and you are scaned by space police they dont see that stuff because i have geknip in one and everytime i am scan they find nothing

[raw wraith]

There's a split second when approaching a staircase from behind where the game believes you're outside the ship.

Normally doesn't affect the game much. But at pulse speed...

[random cliff]

they only find it if it's on your own inventory, as well as cargo on ordinary ships it seems corvette is different

welp time to maxxed out all space with nip

[static monolith]

im growing it on my corvette lol

[fallen frost]

Ok, those base parts I added were my issue, they finally showed up when I hit z, with them gone I can work on my corvette again.. finally

[random cliff]

Doesn't happened to me YET, but I can see why that is annoying

[random cliff]

the only reason why I still havent grown mine inside is that they tend to have a hitbox so when you move around you get stuck sometimes

[random cliff]

bless the atlas he heard you

[raw wraith]

It doesn't happen if you approach the staircase from the "correct" side. That is, the side where the base of the stairs is facing you. So it almost never happens when going toward the stairs from the lower floor.

If you approach from the upstairs level, however, you can drop down from the back side of the stairs instead of walking down. The game reads you as not being in the ship during that moment, which is why it auto jetpacks.

[idle ore]

I HATE this "base out of range" object shrinking bug... IT RUINS EVERYTHING

[random cliff]

I see, hopefully that'll get fixed

[fallen frost]

Must have lol, I did pray to the nms gods

[raw wraith]

On the other hand, it has a positive in that it lets me place decor out of bounds if I increase its size.

[idle ore]

the issue is, that you cant srhink it, cuz its out of the corvettes range, enlarging it has nothing to do with it haha

[idle ore]

that has nothing to do with my sentence haha

[random cliff]

me when shrinking em cannisters for my shelves: You goshdarn red text!

[idle ore]

me when i shrink a popster to make it my wallpaper 😛

[random cliff]

crap I now experienced what you experienced but on the cockpit

[raw wraith]

Yes it does. THese decals and lights on my ship are beyond the normal building limits. Decreasing the size does cause the object's interaction with the sphere of the corvette's bounds to shrink, but by deductive logic, it also causes it to grow if the object grows. Which is why I was able to place them there.

[abstract crow]

I really want regular letters so I can put a name on the side of my ship.

And maybe some pin-up art.

[static monolith]

ah yeah i understand that well moving them around its better but still not as good as my other ship not sure why

[sharp plinth]

why I still didnt saw this corvette

[idle ore]

ok, interesting

[muted glacier]

The numbered storage is invisible, hah. Always been an easy workaround

[small plaza]

Scorpion my beloved

[random cliff]

can't really say why, that also happened to when I was rebuilding my ship, Ive rebuilt this for like three times rebuilding from zero and everytime Im done the stats are not the same even with the same parts I put on em

[raw wraith]

The pulse jump bug? Haha

[random cliff]

just now yes lmao

[static monolith]

wait i think i know i have 4 reactors on one ship and 3 on the other

[random cliff]

that could be the case

[idle ore]

lol, never realised that colored floor ins invisible fvrom bottom haha

[sharp plinth]

Find good concept for corvette

[random cliff]

noice, that's a cool looking ship

how did you find this most ship I found for reference are either very hard pretty much impossible to build

[sharp plinth]

just pinterest

[random cliff]

I see

I dont use pinterest

[sharp plinth]

I want to create something that many people will like, unlike my first attempt.

[random cliff]

what's your first attempt

[plain totem]

Do you guys use your corvettes as bases?

[random cliff]

no

my freighter is still my base

[sharp plinth]

reddit links are ok here?

[random cliff]

that I dont know, havent tried it

[sharp plinth]

thats my first

[tulip dagger]

Someone said I can have 16 Corvettes?

[plain totem]

What kind of a freighter is that?

[random cliff]

It's not that bad though, just a few tweak here and there and it'll be much better than before

[random cliff]

corvette

[sharp plinth]

frigate xd

[random cliff]

that's a modded one right since you can put exosuit build in there

[plain totem]

Big thing! 🤯

[random cliff]

corvette are very big yeah, even my ship that I thought was small is wice the size of my hauler

[sharp plinth]

yes, just for style

[random cliff]

and haulers are thicc

[plain totem]

I’m just hoping the add landing pads for corvettes. Right now it’s difficult to find a nice spot to land.

[static monolith]

well i raised the hyperdrive with another reactor so its more balanced now then my other ship and the hyperdrive is better

[random cliff]

just for comparison

[swift mist]

Man I don't even bother landing my corvette

[slow harbor]

No figurines

[sharp plinth]

I hope they add more angular parts and more options for placing them.

[swift mist]

Just jump out and beam up

[static monolith]

same i like jumping out of it and i also like hovering above water and fishing from the back of it lol

[viscid hamlet]

I have made the ugliest corvette ever but I don't have a picture

[swift mist]

exactly! saves you launch fuel too

[static monolith]

really? show pic of the mods then please

[random cliff]

noice, it's slowly going up there

[tame idol]

im guessing your tech slots are also full?

[random cliff]

that's all of us in the beggining

[plain totem]

Will the corvette just stay in one spot even if you log out of the game? It really has nothing to hold it in place.

[static monolith]

i mean its my main ship now even with its movement lower because hyperdrive is better and it has the emergency warp

[random cliff]

almost the same as mine noice

[random cliff]

Xmods gonna help a lot thats for sure

[static monolith]

oo i am guessing those x mods are good ones

[random cliff]

pretty sure those are good

[slow harbor]

they are good ones

[limpid karma]

i hate resizing parts glitch

[olive marlin]

Are any of the hull connectors not implemented or were they recently added maybe?

[limpid karma]

worked out nice though

[static monolith]

your ship reminds me of a turtle lol i like it

[olive marlin]

I can’t buy any from ballast tank -> high energy ducting

Do have mod that unlocks the parts too

Not unlocks rather puts them all in a shop

[livid meadow]

do short teleporter works on corvette?

[idle ore]

nope

[static monolith]

well it was nice talking with you and everyone else and figuring this stuff out but i have to get some sleep since i work over nights i sleep during the day

[idle ore]

same goers for text item, doesnt work either

[distant sleet]

I’ve never been in a situation where I wanted to emergency warp but I only play on normal

[livid meadow]

alright tyvm for answer

[slow harbor]

not quite turtle

[random cliff]

damn getting max boost is so hard, sacrificed a lot of modules just to get that

[static monolith]

oh yeah not now that other view it look like one though

[random cliff]

nice talking with you as well

[sharp plinth]

my comparison

[random cliff]

damn that is wide and thicc indeed

might as well make a freighter

[idle ore]

wanna' see a beast?

[slow harbor]

to be fair i did dupe like 100 suspicious packets BUT, hear me out, my save got nuked 28 hours back

before that i had better

210 attack
416 shield
2400 hyperdrive 3% per jump
2890 maneuverability

And also no figurines

[sharp plinth]

godzilla's back

[tardy bear]

A couple i did

[random cliff]

damn those are some godly stats my max are only at 2500 on manuever, didnt get that much luck on SC

[slow harbor]

my pulse drive fuel is so efficient i forgot when i refueled last time and im at 76

[random cliff]

but there's a bug when you go to ship builder press modify then cancel your stat numbers goes nuts

[sleek oasis]

is it me or the landing gears do not go up anymore when you fly?

[random cliff]

from 2700 to 3800

[fallen frost]

Is the only way to get a s class corvette to use nantes at the station, or am I missing something?

[slow harbor]

its not nuts its how its supposed to be vs it being bugged down

[tulip zealot]

It works again

[random cliff]

I too no longer refuel or at least it's so efficient that even now it's still like halfway

[slow harbor]

when bugged i have 1900 maneuverability

[tardy bear]

Last one finally getting the hang with circling parts 🙃

[random cliff]

wait so that thing i call bug was the correct stats damn I did somehow created a beast

[slow harbor]

figurines are scary man

they inflate stats for no reason when used correctly

[random cliff]

they increased stats a lot

[slow harbor]

if i slap figurines on my ship with a couple trails i can go 250/460/2500/3100

[random cliff]

that's gonna go bonkers my dude

[slow harbor]

yeah but enemies scale with you anyways

at least sentinel interceptors do

[random cliff]

with the speed or damage

[tame idol]

oh i see the bug now lmao

im moving in 4D

[random cliff]

goddamn son

[slow harbor]

speed less but yes, and with your damage they become thiccer

[tame idol]

having high maneuverability feels so weird

slight movement of your mouse and your ship goes that way instantly

[random cliff]

I dont know about damage though my photon kills them easily, still wish we got infra instead of phase beam

[random cliff]

too fast bruhh

[slow harbor]

to me numbers above 3k with slide unlocked feel like im trying to fly a jellyfish

[tame idol]

this is literally suffering from success

[random cliff]

I also struggle on stopping, too fast

but going from land to atmospher in not even a second is good though

[pliant falcon]

A yo chat, is this a somewhat decent replica?

[rugged jolt]

I like this but wish I had access to the sails instead of flags on top

[random cliff]

still at 98% somehow

[random cliff]

this is a good looking ship goshdarn

[random cliff]

the wings are the only thats not flat enough but it's decent, then again we dont really have flat wings which sucks

[abstract fable]

and despite all that - it still feels like you're stuck in mud when you're trying to turn the damn thing lmao

[slow harbor]

im at 97 after flying back and forth station-planet 4 times.

my planet is 1:20 from the station

[random cliff]

the way ship turns it's mostly like drifting when you're on planet

[tame idol]

i think the stat only affects how you can turn your ship while youre holding down shift

[slow harbor]

i found that yeeting the slide upgrade out increases enjoyabilty by a lot

[pliant falcon]

yeah and I didnt want to resort to the more insane levels of glitch building, thanks tho

[slow harbor]

shift and W

[random cliff]

I've been travelling around systems to systems pulsing from planets to planets to you know discover things

this is an upgrade for exploring that's for sure

my sentinel eats a lot of fuel compare to this

[sleek oasis]

landing gears do not come back up anymore, unplayable

[random cliff]

weirdly enough mine still do

[slow harbor]

I maths employed, i think i have something like 99,1% reduced cost of pulsing

[random cliff]

then again this is part thruster

[slow harbor]

you probably have like 99,8

[sleek oasis]

before and after

[hardy oracle]

I don't even remember the last time I recharged my pulse drive. I'm not actually sure I ever have on my corvette.

[slow harbor]

yeah actualy what do these get adjacency with?

[random cliff]

your ship is just too excited it seems, stop feeding it with nip nip at least not raw

[random cliff]

it can connect with your landing gears

[idle ore]

i think i know that design, looks cool

[sleek oasis]

its the razor crest

[random cliff]

In my brain I thought that's use for democracy

[idle ore]

i seen the youtube video

[slow harbor]

i mean i was playing for 30 hours in the last 49 and got nuked back 28 hours when i decided to try to change anti aliasing

[random cliff]

I've been playing too much liberty and freedom all ships with that design is a pelican for me

[slow harbor]

during the 30 hours i refueled like once

[idle ore]

auto recharger + cheaper fuel costs = never refuel 😛

[random cliff]

I still havent because I kid you not I always forget even at early level

[slow harbor]

there is auto recharge for pulse drive?

[random cliff]

no fuel stuck on space

1hr to planet

smh

[random cliff]

auto recharge are only for landing gears

[slow harbor]

well yes

[idle ore]

true

[slow harbor]

there is?

[idle ore]

sarcastic true haha

[slow harbor]

ah

sensible

[hardy oracle]

No, but it doesn't seem like we need them anyway!

[sleek oasis]

it's my fav ship so had to remake it lol

[random cliff]

no recharge for pulse only landing gear

[idle ore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMXnTs10geI 😛

[slow harbor]

At first i wanted them to let us have solar sail modules on corvettes

[sleek oasis]

thats not the right video

[muted glacier]

I'm pretty tempted to make one of these

[random cliff]

tini ni ning🎵

[slow harbor]

i think that's gonna make me reload pulse while i fly lol

[sharp plinth]

oh wow

[random cliff]

that would be awesome more speed

[rugged jolt]

I just want solar sail cosmetic pieces

Or solar panels

[tropic charm]

i want to completely rebuild my corvette , during expedition i was given some storage modules that i've used on it , will they stick around if i remove all parts and build from scratch?

[rugged jolt]

Solar panels, cylinder pieces....

[muted glacier]

Imagine being able to add ship parts as decorations, hah

[random cliff]

Solar wings brother

[slow harbor]

i want authentic solar sails for looks but for that they gotta be modular which will be a MASSIVE pain to implement with making them foldable

[random cliff]

Solar wings brother

[muted glacier]

I'd be ok with just making them animate

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

[rugged jolt]

I don't think it would be too difficult considering we already have those landing feet which move in flight

[slow harbor]

yeah but that's still one part

i meant modular to make them the shape you need

[rugged jolt]

oh I see

[slow harbor]

which is unprecedented

[rugged jolt]

I wonder if they could do it kinda like wiring

[hardy oracle]

On the topic of things that move, I wish the side thruster landing gear would go into a landed position whenever we leave our ship hovering in atmosphere, I think it would make sense

[rugged jolt]

Each piece for sails you place have "wire" spots

[slow harbor]

this could work yes

[rugged jolt]

When 3 or more are connected they form a plane as a sail

[slow harbor]

points of contact

[rugged jolt]

yea

[slow harbor]

and when they move sail deforms/folds

[rugged jolt]

I want semi circle pieces

And full cylinders

Plus solar panels so I could make this

[tame idol]

yeah nah i think having lower maneuverability is better

this feels so jarring to steer 😭

[hardy oracle]

There's a setting somewhere to make steering follow the cursor rather than be directly mapped to mouse movement. Maybe that would help?

[slow harbor]

1700-2200 is the sweet spot, even less for usual ships

above than is only useable for dogfighting

[hardy oracle]

I only felt like I had enough once I crossed 4500. I'm at 4600 and it feels just right for me

[slow harbor]

with lock on

[rugged jolt]

This is technically possible currently but is held back by a few aspects:

1. to make a cylinder body like that requires a TON of parts

2. most of the detail has to be done with base decorations which are annoying to place at best, and super buggy at worst

[idle ore]

whats meant with that xDDDDDD

[rugged jolt]

They added a new decoration piece

[idle ore]

but they didnt tho haha

[rugged jolt]

But they did tho

[idle ore]

not in the corvette menu atleast

[tame idol]

the ship steers faster than the boosters can turn

this is so funny

you can actually drift the ship in orbit

[rugged jolt]

Except they did

[stark harness]

Ooooo

[idle ore]

lol i donbt havr that o.O

[hardy oracle]

Are you on experimental? I don't think it's live yet

[rugged jolt]

Its in the hull plating section

[rugged jolt]

I'm on live and I have it

[stark harness]

@rugged jolt also
#nms-showcase-corvettes message

I finished my ship :)

[hardy oracle]

Awesome! Did the patch happen recently?

[rugged jolt]

Today yea

[hardy oracle]

Ah, haven't been to check today

[fresh ocean]

any tips on how to start an corvette? as in how many reactors/weapons/shields etc

[idle ore]

i mean the all the last fixes where live so, and it doesnt say anythign about experiemtnal, its a fully releaes 6.05...

[hardy oracle]

Just one is plenty to get started. The sooner you have a corvette the sooner you can get parts farming easily. It's way quicker with a corvette than a regular ship

[rugged jolt]

NICE! I like the paintjob and the angular font

gives a very sharp militaristic look to it

almost like it would be out of eve online

[slow harbor]

Oh so it was the UPDATE THAT MADE ME LOSE 28 hours, not me turning dlss off and on

bruuh

[rugged jolt]

huh?

[rugged jolt]

Just one since ship upgrades are better for stats anyway

[stark harness]

Yeeeee
I tried my hardest to take inspiration from eve and star citizen
I tried hard to keep the profile lines flowing

[pseudo eagle]

Hard sci-fi designs like that can be made in Kerbal Space Program, especially with mods. The second screenshot looks like it's from modded KSP.

[fresh ocean]

ok ty, already found 5 reactors 2 different types xD, mostly missing landing gears and an ramp

[rugged jolt]

I've done a couple of hard sci fi designs in nms already, I just want more support for it through part variety lol

Or at least inspired by hard sci fi

These were inspired by hard sci fi but strayed from the ultra realism aspect in the end

Elongated with lots of radio dish, antenna, and the spherical and cylindrical storage units.

[pseudo eagle]

I haven't gotten far enough to make corvettes in NMS yet, but I tried to make a hard sci-fi ship (with big radiators) in Starfield 2 years ago.

[rugged jolt]

I really like the engine housing on this one, so I think I'll play with it some more and try to move into more realism for it

[rugged jolt]

Ohhh nice!

[pseudo eagle]

I hope to recreate my main Hatsune Miku ship from Starfield in NMS. I wonder if there are similar triangular parts to recreate these structures.

[rugged jolt]

I think it's possible

It wouldn't be a 1:1 tho

[tame idol]

thats a really funny ship

[hardy oracle]

There are some shapes roughly similar, but they're all somewhat slanted. You wouldn't be able to make a flat wing like that.

Maybe the kittens will save the dream, only time will tell

[pseudo eagle]

The original KSP with mods is still good

[rugged jolt]

Ohhh okay

I do want more hard sci fi parts for corvettes. I have my character set up for a hard sci fi style and am even hunting for a shuttle that looks good for him.

[limber vapor]

Is my nms VTOL design good?

[abstract crow]

Simple but that's increasingly rare with so many insane ship designs coming through here.

[minor adder]

Finished my first corvette ^-^ Only gotta give it some paint

Any way to improve the front of the ship? I think the cockpit is too thin. Do I hide the cockpit inside the ship and make a fake cockpit for decoration?

[frigid depot]

@chilly valve if you don’t mind could I get an underside view of the 5th corvette in this #nms-showcase-corvettes message post of yours?
Wanna use it for inspiration

[civic turtle]

Can I ride on someone corvette for the milstone

[sick kayak]

Simple and effective, love it

[frigid depot]

Would recommend #nms-expedition or #nms-lfg-or-trades for that

[chilly valve]

of course , the small fighter one? just to be sure?

[frigid depot]

Yes, the midnight black one

Thinking of making something in a similar style but slightly larger

[chilly valve]

please ignore the paintjob that needs to be fixed , station lighting is ass

[frigid depot]

Thanks!

[silver swift]

Hello, up until how many hours playtime do you get to use corvette parts for free? Is this still a thing?

[sleek oasis]

lets go, lost of bunch of modules cause of the corvette bug and with this update reloading the save doesn't reset it, nice

[stark harness]

Maybe try using other parts for the bottom of the front besides the speedbird?

[hushed gazelle]

choose which one?

i dont know if i should just keep it clean or add more engines

[buoyant orchid]

Clean looks less cliche to me

[hushed gazelle]

true

[buoyant orchid]

But those square ones make an intriguing 2nd choice. Pretty unique

[buoyant orchid]

I love it. Just add teeth.

[hushed gazelle]

what about wings

cleaner engines

[buoyant orchid]

I think nothing can beat the squares. I've seen no one doing that.

[hushed gazelle]

wew

this too

[fresh ocean]

wish i could somehow cover up those reactor's, dont mind the messy design its my first corvette and only got limited parts xD

[hushed gazelle]

liike this?

[fresh ocean]

yeah just so they arent exposed that much

[hushed gazelle]

i usually put them in the middle of the ship rather than outside

[buoyant orchid]

Line them up with the wings. Use the hab glitch and see if you can move then half a unit back.

[hushed gazelle]

i think this is the best one so far

it covers up the internals so well

very good

[buoyant orchid]

@fresh ocean Those propellers can snap on a half unit position on ONE side of a hab. Use that to set up other pieces to give you a new reference. Allows more pieces to blend into each other too.

[buoyant orchid]

Noice

But I'm stealing the square exhausts then.

[patent mirage]

what do we think of hidden reactors with windows to peek at it

[native frost]

sick

[buoyant orchid]

It is the way.

[solid plinth]

any tips/lessons learned before i start building a corvette for my friends and i to tinker around on

[sage wolf]

Keep multiplayer off and don't let your friends on unless you want to risk having the entire build vanish

[patent mirage]

update: these windows for whatever create an invisible wall on the floor below so back to panelled windows 😔

way less cool 😔

[solid plinth]

like from a troll perspective or bug?

[sage wolf]

Bug. It's rare but people are having their corvettes replaced with regular ships when playing with them in multiplayer

Also if you can, backup your save frequently in case it happens anyway

[frigid depot]

@chilly valve what started as making your ship but larger ended in this, don’t ask me how we got here

[fresh ocean]

not the cleanest build but i guess it will have to do

[stark harness]

Ive loved the concept ever since I saw it.
I used it on my first corvette :)

[fresh ocean]

maybe 3 reactors is abit much though xD

[long pawn]

Okay, to not overload you with info... you should upgrade your ship and buy all the slots you can because it makes the next part easier... if you look at the equipment in the top slots you'll see they're either outlined in a color or nothing.

The idea is to put like with like so you keep all the squares of a certain color together. If an item doesn't have a colored outline, it may be just be in the wrong area. You just fiddle with the placement until you get as many squares outlined that you can.

THEN

As you buy your equipment upgrades and you shuffle the blocks all over again, keeping like colors with like. It's not hard but it can take a little finagling to get it all in.

With the supercharge slots, you just put in the thing which boosts your numbers the best. You just plug in different things and look at your numbers until you're satisfied.

[cobalt harbor]

suenõ impossible mk2

[frigid depot]

Replaced the cannon on top with a phase cannon thing, couldn’t be bothered to take new pictures just from that, will probably change cannons again when I get the Deadeye ones

[sleek oasis]

Damn, what parts did you use for the round thing surrounding the bottom engine?

[stark harness]

I coulda swore there were buyable upgrades for hyper drives
Am I going crazy????

[cobalt pike]

It took forever but I figured out how to make it

[frigid depot]

There are, just not in all systems

[long pawn]

Man, I'm afraid to post my newest build because you'll think I copied you. LOL

[long pawn]

There are. Just not every station carries them.

[frigid depot]

Any tips for improving it? (the parts sticking out at the back are non-negotiable)

[stark harness]

Thank god
I knew I wasnt insane

[abstract crow]

Fix the parts sticking out at the back.

[fresh ocean]

so i went with 3 landing gears. but is that even needed to land?

[cyan jasper]

technically you only need one

[long pawn]

@hushed gazelle Oh, what the Hell... I'll post mine. One thing I should mention... I couldn't get any of the glitches to work. This is just a straight out build.

[fresh ocean]

3 reactors is also abit overkill i guess xD, got an range of 772.9 Ly

[hoary galleon]

Car shaped ship

[cyan jasper]

First real attempt at making a nice-looking ship. I call her The Vesper.

[frigid depot]

If you only have one landing gear and delete it at the same time as you press finalize build you won’t have any landing gears (ship still lands)

Why land when you can just jump out and jetpack back in, saves launch fuel, and removes the need for all launch thruster upgrades

[fresh ocean]

still pretty new to NMS so i wasnt aware thats an option to

[frigid depot]

Neither was I until earlier today

[wicked shell]

nearly done with my masterpeice

[frigid depot]

And corvettes are only 3 weeks old, so people are still discovering new stuff about them

doesnt look like u copied me

[fair rapids]

Can anyone give me some tips on how to build the corvettes better?

[long pawn]

Oh good.

[abstract crow]

When more stuff and functions start to get added, it's going to be a pain going back into old designs to update them.

[frigid depot]

What worked for me was building a few corvettes using YouTube guides in order to get some sense of direction, then I just started freestyling

[frigid depot]

…

[stark harness]

Im so addicted to the thunder bird interior. I love the scrappy vibe that goes with any decorations

[fervent mist]

Ayeeee, but i love the industry cooking thingy to much

[nimble stirrup]

Let's keep the discussions here NMS-related please @rugged jolt

[stark harness]

Saaaame

[fervent mist]

Hellooo ^^ whats your fave interior >:3

[nimble stirrup]

depends on the area of a corvette im building

[fervent mist]

Yusss! I personally dont like the ambassador for how bright it is, but the apartment like interior options (like the cooker) are lovely

[fervent mist]

You switch them mid build?

Cool :0

[mild stratus]

I need hg to add some moss deco so I can make my ancient tech themed ship look more ancient 😭

[nimble stirrup]

the storage rooms and crew quarters i use certain habs, and the lounge areas i use ambassadors

[fervent mist]

Fair :3

[fervent mist]

Damn thats sick ^^

[stark harness]

I had the titan interior walkway for the central staircase, as a nice contrast for my ship.
Only issue is that now im unsure what to put in it, as it feels empty compared to the rest of the ship

[nova spade]

in ur ship is it normal for this to appear?

[fervent mist]

Put cookers :3 trust /silly maybe some posters or the hologram buddies, or maybe like the hp and hazard chargers

[stark harness]

Ooooooo
I originally wasnt gonna put stuff like the cookers in, but it could be cool to make a nice kitchen in one of them to free up habs elsewhere

[fervent mist]

Oh I was joking on that part Xb but glad it helped anyways lol ^^

[stark harness]

I have like 4 in stack total, counting the hab at the bottom where the exit is.

[fervent mist]

Noice

[stark harness]

Plenty of space for whatever I want.

[fair rapids]

Is it a good idea if I have extra parts to sell them?

[stark harness]

I did wanna make a medical bay, even if theres no use for the part yet

I could swap captains quarters and the kitchen around, so its at the bottom where the Hydroponics bay is

Next to the food makes more sense

[fair rapids]

On second thought should I trade for better parts with my extras?

[junior current]

Which engine profile should I go with? The first, or the second?

I'm pretty certain that the second one is the better choice

[fair rapids]

What are you going for?

[junior current]

but I figured I should gather input from people first

[junior current]

Top-heavy corvette design.

[stark harness]

Hmmmm
2nd one
But how does it look from other angles?

[fair rapids]

In that case than I also think the second.

[junior current]

Here are the other angles you requested

[raw wraith]

Man, we need the corvettes to NOT despawn as soon as you trade them with an NPC. I'd love to invite them to my squadron as soon as they get a corvette.

[junior current]

I definitely feel like the cockpit is out of place, lol

[raw wraith]

This section is a VERY close configuration to the Normandy. Hmm...

[fair rapids]

A bit, it might look slightly better further back.

[junior current]

Like, have the side pods be slightly further back?

[fair rapids]

Maybe, it is risky though.

[junior current]

They are set up to be symmetrical with the main hull frame, but that is worth experimenting with

[fair rapids]

Yeah just save your current design first

[junior current]

That does create a gap here, which could be filled

[fair rapids]

Yeah, I agree.

[stark harness]

The second one definitely then
Also the cockpit is actually fine with this overhang set up!

[junior current]

If I put a rockhopper module there, then it does create a more high tech feel

even if it compromises the sharpness of the silhouette a little

[fair rapids]

It does, but I do like it.

[fresh ocean]

how is it quicker? you would still need to get out of your ship more or less, you just dont have to land everyime

[hardy oracle]

No, you certainly don't have to get out of your ship if you have a corvette. Just stand up, scan and sit back down again. You can also loot the salvage without getting out. But that's something all ships can do, not just corvettes.

[buoyant orchid]

I cannot get this "circle" completed with a round shield generator in the middle. Anyone have any ideas? It just won't snap into place even in red, so i can't flick it in. I've tried habs surrouniding in various positions, partly as seen here, but nothing works. If I remove the shield module, then it's that that i wont be able to place.

the only vertically aligned position that i get is this.

Just impossible?

[hard cedar]

Dope

[flint plover]

cool idea tho

[wooden flint]

trying to put a "horn" above my cockpit but i'm just not good enough at snapping... crud.

[flint plover]

like, a truck horn? The trumpet looking things?

[wooden flint]

nah, like a kaiju forehead horn

[flint plover]

ooooh that makes more sense honestly. A car horn wouldn't be of much help in space

[wooden flint]

...you say, after all the space trucks people have made XD

[solid plinth]

so if you just save a lot you can recover?

[wooden flint]

best i got is Turbine Cowling with Small Vent clipped into the upper front

[junior current]

It certainly is compelling

(Left side is engine pod moved further back, right is the old placement)

[hardy oracle]

Saving a lot is not the same as making backups. The game only keeps your last autosave and your last restore point. You need separate backups if you want to be sure you always have something to roll back to.

[flint plover]

what about one of the skeleton pieces?

[solid plinth]

can you hotkey backup?

[hardy oracle]

Uh, sure? Some backup programs might have hotkeys

[astral tundra]

anyone got recommendations for how to get parts fast?

[hardy oracle]

Obtain a basic corvette. Strap a cyclotron ballista onto it with some minimal upgrades. Go to a world with salvage. Get out of your seat (turn on first person if you haven't to skip animations), scan for salvage. Fly to salvage and shoot with ballista. Repeat.

[astral tundra]

thanks!

[wooden flint]

i keep forgetting about that! i've yet to mess around with Corvette customization outside the builder

thank you~

[sleek oasis]

how tf did you make it like this? I tried recreating it and it can't align like yours

[hoary galleon]

Making a car shape ship is hard

[hardy oracle]

Making a ship-shaped ship can be hard enough 🙂

[wooden flint]

my Destroyah ship is one step closer to completion...

[fallen onyx]

yesterday i was building in creative and was able to place the ambassador wing but i switched to suvival and rebuild that ship but can't place it there anymore. I probably did some offset glitch by mistake. Anyone knows how to repeat that?

[quiet lagoon]

does the structural support actually do something?

[hardy oracle]

It looks structurally supportive, I guess? 🙂

[flint plover]

strange. It looks like it should fit there

[compact root]

the Olcyon

this shit right here makes my blood boil
why don't you sit flush with the hull :(

[fallen onyx]

it doesn't , but i was able to make it on my creative, and it looked like this

[hardy oracle]

It's a 2*1 piece item, I think you'd need to do some sort of half-tile glitch to get it to fit behind that cannon

[hardy oracle]

It is likely that you didn't have the cannon last time you placed it

[buoyant orchid]

Every computer user should be running backups, so just use your backup program. 😉

I've really liked FreeFileSync for years. I usually prefer to run them manually so I can make sure there's nothing weird with what's being backed up or not , but you can also save the jobs as batch files, so you can run them silently anytime from double clicking its icon or a shortcut you might make for it.

[flint plover]

ooh that part! Yeah, what baelas is saying

[hardy oracle]

The good news is that it should fit if you snap it half a tile back from where you originally had it

[fallen onyx]

what is the half-tile module i should use for that glitch? because i tried removing cannon and other parts around , it didn't help :\

[fallen onyx]

alright i will try

[hardy oracle]

You have to flip it and attach it to the other side of that hab, then move the hab half a tile. Then attach ambassador wing. Move the hab back and remove the rockhoppers

[viral anchor]

WELP, that's two corvettes I've had turn into exotics. Anyone else had this happen more than once? Not sure if it was due to the last patch.

[hardy oracle]

Had it happen once in multiplayer but I never figured out what caused it

[abstract crow]

At least you got exotics out of it. And bubbles.

[buoyant orchid]

congrats

[viral anchor]

A class C exotic. It's going in the recycler since I have an S-slass.

[buoyant orchid]

Il'l recycle it for you

[abstract crow]

C class exotic sounds... exotic

[buoyant orchid]

Im feeling very generous and charitable today

[viral anchor]

I'm wondering if it's A: Any corvette after the first one on your ship list, or 2: if it's due to having it as the active ship when logging off from multiplayer.

[urban tangle]

ladies and gents lmao

[buoyant orchid]

ive seen many say it's due to multiplayer, but idk

[abstract crow]

I think there's a glitch where you can end up with another person's ship and they get yours due to a bug

[viral anchor]

I dunno how that'd happen since I wasn't around anyone else.

[buoyant orchid]

improbability drive intesifies

[viral anchor]

Adds teapot and shoe to build list

[abstract crow]

I have multi-player on, about 5 or 6 corvettes, and never had that issue so Idk.

[buoyant orchid]

picks up no tea and gets back on his way

[abstract crow]

I do kinda lag the anomaly and can't actually fly my corvette out, but that's it.

[viral anchor]

Whelp, like a knocked over lego build, I suppose I'll try my next design idea. RIP Vesta, I hardly flew ye.

Time toooooo say gooodbyyyyyyeee 🎶

[flint plover]

that's so devestating. That would seriously bum me out

[viral anchor]

... I wonder if there's another copy in the Expedition terminal... brb.

[hardy oracle]

Hey, not sure if anyone else realised now. But the new "Apply to entire Corvette" button for color works even when you have something else entirely selected. Such as plastic decor that you can color in much brighter shades:

[flint plover]

haven't tried that yet. Does it colour all your interior stuff too?

[hardy oracle]

Yes, it does color everything which is awful, but it is also useful for getting access to paints not normally allowed

[flint plover]

yikes

[hardy oracle]

Err, I may have spoken too soon?

Further testing required, having trouble saving it

[abstract crow]

I'd be pretty pissed if my Star Destroyer design or large original corvette design got poofed into thin air.

LAAT Gunship too, but at least I have a walk through for that.

[fair rapids]

Once you are done can you give me more angles of the corvette photo?

[viral anchor]

Aha! The prototype was still copyable from the expedition! Vesta flys again!

[olive yacht]

Question, does anyone know when an update to fix corvettes is gonna happen? My friend and I have had problems with the missions being bugged when launched from the corvette, and we had our ship designs delete themselves, they gave us new ones that aren’t anything we’ve designed before and got rid of all of our resources

[hardy oracle]

You can keep an eye out on #nms-news-ticker to see what the devs are posting about the game. Elsewhere too but I find that this gives an easy overview of things

[olive yacht]

Thank you

[hardy oracle]

Until then I'd start keeping backups. Just in case of catastrophic failure. 🙂

[olive yacht]

No shit

We spent like 2 hours designing a super destroyer from helldivers 2

[pseudo forge]

Medusa reactor should be able to turn in 4 directions. This is the way.

[olive yacht]

Facts

[violet swallow]

looking to improve my design, im kinda happy with it but i think i can do better with the top, any ideas?

[pseudo forge]

Add a torpedo to cowl just above the satellite dish. Makes it look like the entire thing is launcher.

[charred solstice]

Is it worth taking this S class freighter even though it’s not got many available slots.

[hardy oracle]

You can always upgrade slots later, class and shape are permanent

[charred solstice]

I’m not too bothered about looks

[violet swallow]

kinda fits but doesnt work because the satelite dish takes that slot on top

[violet swallow]

1: i think this isnt the chat for this
2: yes keep it

[hushed gazelle]

glitch building is hard

[abstract crow]

It's manageable, unless you combine the 2x hab and the offset glitch together. Then it gets rough. At least for me.

[pseudo forge]

ah. Some like the clean look. It's solid design and looks natural. Not more to do with it without design changes really. I say start over with another.

[hardy oracle]

The offset glitch comes naturally to me now, I barely even have to think about it, things just slot into place 🙂

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

[sleek oasis]

I know how to, but I have no idea how you stacked both on top of each other

If I off set one of the engines it's either too far out or too far deep

[violet swallow]

is it worth having two refineries in the corvette? or its waste of resources

[pseudo forge]

Which means ability to copy designs is there already. Need to expand on this to make blueprints and tradeable.

[hardy oracle]

If you need two refineries, it's worth it. I've never needed two refineries at once.

[violet swallow]

so far i havent so...

[hardy oracle]

They barely cost anything to make. You can just pop one down if you do end up needing it

[abstract crow]

I don't even use the 14 or so in my freighter. It'd just be for looks if anything.

[violet swallow]

i feel we need more modules for interiors, like a weapon shelf, or the apperance changer, or cosmetic stuff like the beds

does the medical thing do something?

[wicked shell]

Where do we post our sick ships? I just created the best ship I have ever made

[hardy oracle]

There is a weapon shelf and beds already though

[violet swallow]

i know beds are a thing, and yes you can put down a weapon shelf but it kinda looks out of place on some interiors

[hardy oracle]

Yeah, it took some effort to find a good spot for my weapon racks

[violet swallow]

thats why i say there should be a module for it

[hardy oracle]

I bet you have a huge ship if you could dedicate a quarter of a hab just to weapons 🙂

[pseudo forge]

😉

[abstract crow]

Think I could dedicate an entire floor of my ship to weapons.

[flint plover]

i have mine literally outside 😅 it's probably fine, right?

[hardy oracle]

That was the only space I could spare on my two-hab ship

[flint plover]

this looks absolutely sick btw

[violet swallow]

the lower floor its 3 of the long rooms from left to right, behind there are 3 small rooms, ths without counting the small one located at the back for the ramp and the one in the front for the cockpit, and there is a second floor with a small and long one

my issue isnt lack of space, its lack of stuff to put inside XD

will try speedrun unlock decorations

[abstract crow]

Should have a few art rooms

[violet swallow]

yeah, until your ship gets hit and they fall down XD (wont happen but functionally its good)

[hardy oracle]

They're animated too! IT's a pretty neat piece of decor. I flipped it upside down and fitted them onto the round part of the table

[flint plover]

look at em go 🙂 manufacturing and welding like upstanding robots

no that's really cool man

[hardy oracle]

I wish we had more animated decor. Wouldn't want too much of it but it really adds a lot to have a least a little bit of movement

[strong plaza]

that does look pretty cool

[violet swallow]

something that would be nice its to be able to add a small pannel on the sides of the modules so they dont look totally flat, some of the structural pieces have nice looking textures that i wish i could apply to top of some modules

[hardy oracle]

Perhaps you can find something interesting in the decor menu that does the job?

[violet swallow]

perhaps? but i want to use corvette pieces rather than decoration

[hardy oracle]

I get what you mean but I think the decor is just as much a part of the corvette

[violet swallow]

which of these looks better for the back of the ship?

[hardy oracle]

I really like the air purifier, wish I had a flat surface to put some on 🙂

[violet swallow]

i mean, im sure there is a surface you can stick it in
