[wicked shell]

I need other people smarter than me to figure out better layouts for more control, but so far you can move parts to the left and right, forward and back by set controllable amounts based on how many parts you have in what areas

[willow lichen]

Well. I now know what I must do: a big colony ship.

[wicked shell]

I have figured out how to get a half block offset for landing gear, which is shown in the video as well as moving parts to either side, but as far as evening out the sides, you have to combined a few methods of moving things and do multiple iterations with the benchy ship I use to get it even.

I was able to get offsets as small as this so far, but then I build my super dope ship. It needs more testing, as doing purley backwards offsets can bug the parking location of yourt ship. Mine is currently parked in a way that I exit the cockpit and go out a roof ladder and boom im right at the teleport pad. Its a bit farther back than other ships.

[rugged jolt]

I tried

Much difficult

The issue is Decorations not sticking

[plucky shadow]

So I have a question is it better to have like 3 photon cannons or just use those slots for S-tier tech?

[rugged jolt]

My 2 colony ships if they give inspiration

[wicked shell]

as you can see my ship is too far back, but I have roof access so this ship isnt negativley affected. I can imagine with only rear access it may be annoying for people who spend a long time building ships.

[twilit junco]

so.. why does one of my wings not activate? is there a limit to 3 for active wing modules or am i making a rookie mistake? (i am losing my mind)

[rugged jolt]

Yea most of my ships have center or forward access now

[wicked shell]

it is the number of wings total not just rockhopper ones. only 4 allowed before they break the engine affect. I stick with 2 rockhopper wings because they are buggy

[wicked shell]

I have had 4 work before but I had no other wing types on the ship

[rugged jolt]

It's just buggy

[twilit junco]

that makes me sad

[wicked shell]

Remove all non-rockhopper wings and it should fix the ones you have on

it looks like you have the big wings too, which is probably the issue

[sleek oasis]

I lost it, idk how to do it

[feral solar]

guys my corvette is being treated well trust me

[rugged jolt]

Offset build a longer engine past a shorter one

[sleek oasis]

its not as simple

[rugged jolt]

Engine(wall)engine(wall)

Then delete both walls

[sleek oasis]

no

that's not how it is

[rugged jolt]

Maybe I don't understand what you are trying to do

[twilit junco]

wdym with big wings? you mean the big rock hopper wings? because removing those would (to me) ruin the style, unless there's a better design i could go for

[rugged jolt]

You want them clipped inside each other?

[sick kayak]

"Another happy landing"

[sleek oasis]

yes and I managed to do it

but you gotta offset by like 1/16 of a part

I just don't know how to recreate it

[wraith quiver]

im actually right at my thruster rn i forgot i was gonna try this

[rugged jolt]

Did one of the engines snap to an interior decoration?

[sleek oasis]

no, I think one of my hab was offset

[wicked shell]

any of these count towards the wing cap in regards to the 4 wing max before the rockhoppers break

[sleek oasis]

then it had a window, and then the thruster snapped to that

[twilit junco]

ah

i see

[wicked shell]

I was talking about your arcadia wings

[twilit junco]

yeah

[rugged jolt]

Probably

[twilit junco]

damn that's a shame

[wraith quiver]

woot

[sleek oasis]

thats not the same

[rugged jolt]

It looks the same to me

[wicked shell]

You can also accidentally offset your ship based on part density on either side when saved btw if you have broken offsets like that\

[sleek oasis]

im telling you its not

[rugged jolt]

What's different?

[sleek oasis]

the placement

his is 1/2 behind

mine is exactly on the same

but off set by like 1/16 to the side

[wicked shell]

did you place your ship far back and with an uneven distrabution of parts from left to right?

[sleek oasis]

this part here sticks out of the other engine

[wicked shell]

yup

you did and now it is not centered with the landing platform

unless that is one block to the left exactly

[twilit junco]

y'all think this design works?

[wicked shell]

Yuh looks great man!

[sleek oasis]

i don't know what you mean

[wraith quiver]

it is tho lol

i just got a straight shot photo

[sleek oasis]

no

its out of the big thing

[wraith quiver]

ohhh

[wicked shell]

I have a video I made explaining how to do it. It is a bug based on saving and editing ships and how it moves the ship location based on part distrabution

[wraith quiver]

so the innermost thuster comes out further?

[sleek oasis]

yes

[wicked shell]

it is linked to my profile. you can mess up your ship offset. I had the same issue with a 1/16 or so gap on one side of my earlier ship model

[rugged jolt]

Inch resting

[wicked shell]

Yeah, but the good news is you can make way more detailed builds using it if you plan ahead with it in mind.

like my curved thrusters!

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

[rugged jolt]

Wanting to make all of these (If you know you know)

[hardy oracle]

I already sent it off, but I realized after the fact that maybe what I considered to be obvious wasn't necessarily what everyone thought. To me it feels like a bug that landing thrusters remain in the spaceflight configuration even when we leave our corvettes idle mid-air. I feel like the ideal state is the one that occurs seconds before landing.

[wicked shell]

Beeblebum has a video on how to get the ufo look so that may be useful

[sleek oasis]

it wasn't far back, it was close to the middle

[wicked shell]

It may still have moved the ship. I place mine as far back as possible for ease of testing, but I have not explored it a ton.

Left and right offsets also can move it. Even a single wing or block to one side moves the model a bit

[wraith quiver]

show me how those stacked thrusters look from the side lol thats wizardry

[wicked shell]

mine? or someone elses?

[wraith quiver]

this i want to see from the side

[sleek oasis]

I think I did it again

mmh no

[granite arch]

Is there a good “list” or something of the sort showing all corvette parts functional and cosmetic?

[hardy oracle]

For cosmetics you have the terminal in game, it has pictures of all possible parts, even those you haven't obtained yet. Stats are a little more complicated because there seems to be some sort of randomness involved. I am getting the exact same numbers each time I put a certain part on but others are getting different numbers.

[sick kayak]

Yeah I sorta get that. If it's working like a VTOL aircraft then when it's floating the thrusters would be facing down. Also it'd probably look nicer lol

[wicked shell]

the ones on the page with the weapons are all functional. you can have three of each, but for shield gens you need to place one ion shield followed by 2 deflectors for max output and you can get three medusa reactors but you have to place them before the cockpit or it only counts 2.

[sleek oasis]

@wicked shell you should make a proper tutorial when you have time

[wicked shell]

Yeah like, I have no video making experience. I did get in contact with beeblebum and showed him how to do it. It's actually what my video was first made to do. So while I'll probably make something covering my method. Hopefully he has something cooking. He said he hopped on yesterday to do testing once I showed him my video. Good news is it works with habitat rotation and also works with rockhopper offsets as well as vent offsets making it really customizable if you set it up correctly.

I'll probably make something covering how to get even offsets from left to right since that was not in my first video.

[sleek oasis]

tbh if you would've used obs to record your screen it would've been enough

[wicked shell]

I removed it while testing crashed the same day I started researching the bug.

I'll probably re-add it soon.

[sleek oasis]

like I watched the video and have no idea what causes it to offset like that

[wicked shell]

It's all about the amount of parts from left to right. Too many on right side moves it left and too many on left side moves it right.

[pallid bramble]

Anyone have advice on how to make a custom crane with the excavation claw?

[sleek oasis]

like the whole ship will move?

[pallid bramble]

I saw a picture of someone else's but idk the parts they used

[wicked shell]

Yup. Landing gear and all. But you can place new landing gear and build the blocks back to save the offsets and rinse and repeat to get a lot of clipping potential. It's how I have 3 of everything in a single block. You can literally stack infinity if you want

[hardy oracle]

Something like this? I just scaled it up and stuck it on, didn't do anything special with it.

[wicked shell]

Hell enough iterations and your ship could even be back parked right onto the shop platforms.

Imagine that but in the anomaly with a huge ship that just takes up everything using big habs lol

[pallid bramble]

That may be better then what I was thinking actually lol

I saw

@hardy oracle this was the one insaw

[hardy oracle]

That's also pretty cool, a very different vibe 🙂

[pallid bramble]

I don't have any parts that look like the arm pieces

[sleek oasis]

I still have no idea how to replicate it unfortunately

[wicked shell]

you could always just stack barrels into an arm

[hardy oracle]

What a curious puzzle. I recognize some of the pieces but I'll see if I can figure out the rest

[pallid bramble]

That is true too

[pallid bramble]

I tried marching parts to the pic but yeah I didn't find it but I also like the mechanical arms like your pic to. Maybe I can use bith lol

[wicked shell]

I am reinstalling obs to make a video on the updated method with my new info.

[sleek oasis]

thanks

[pallid bramble]

I love the autophage and the idea of collecting junk

[hearty sentinel]

is there a way to do windows without gaps at the bottom?

[fading skiff]

it looks like they used cabinets as the cranes arm

[urban bolt]

"Corvettes will now spawn correctly in player bases after teleporting." hmm, I think it still needs tweaking...

[wraith quiver]

they should just leave them in the sky and spawn us on a floor telepod tbh

[wicked shell]

I think that I will also link the beeblebum video for the ufo glitch even though I haven't seen it just to have all my known glitches present in the description.

[hardy oracle]

Definitely not what they used, but putting a bunch of lockers in a row worked pretty well for the arm. They scale, paint and rotate very well.

[pallid bramble]

@fading skiff oooh the tall cabinets

[wicked shell]

This right here. You can cut out aqua thrusters with this as well, since you dont need to land at any point in a corvette. just quick bind exit seat to something near the usual land button and bind land to something you will never press

[pallid bramble]

That's also a great idea. But should I use a crane or mechanical arms for picking up junk or both?

[hardy oracle]

I suppose it depends on what kind of size and what you imagine picking up. If your ship is collecting scrap you'd want a gripper, but if it's collecting dirt you'd want a scoop

[wicked shell]

white signs also have a flat texture so you cant see clipping issues when painted if that helps fill the locker gaps

[fading skiff]

im assuming this or the part @hardy oracle posted

[urban bolt]

What's funny is it is flying but I think because my base is raised up on these platforms it is still getting confused. It spawned it directly on top of my teleporter too.

[hardy oracle]

The premade gripper doesn't get bigger than this:

[pallid bramble]

@fading skiff I feel like I'm missing a few decor parts. Where would I get the rest of them?

[craggy garnet]

I just got stuck in my dispensary build doing this lol

[urban bolt]

Here's what it looks like without the corvette stuck inside it lol. My guess is they didn't take into account if bases are raised off the ground.

[fading skiff]

most you can find on the anomaly either in the back with salvaged data or in the front with quicksilver

some can be found ingame through freighters or planets with a lot of ruins

[pallid bramble]

Thanks for all the help ^.^

@fading skiff like indont see the massive drum thing the arm is connected in my decor so I may have to find more parts if I wanted something similar or improvise

Oh I found it

Corvette part

[fading skiff]

too bad the ships hitbox doesnt change

would be great for mining asteroids by force

[scarlet bison]

Facts that would be amazing but it's so laggy I almost can't even use it so

[mild stratus]

I couldn't deal with the wonki ness especially having to look at it 247

[sleek oasis]

[tardy bear]

My game is bugged 😁

[wraith quiver]

thats so neat lol

[fervent mist]

My new huge corvette has 2238 maneuverability. Been selling other ones and building new ones but don’t think my tech slots will get better. Is that a good number for a corvette? How are people getting 4000 maneuverability?

[sleek oasis]

In the process of building a pod-racer type with the engines out in front linked by a bunch of cables

[sleek oasis]

First, over 2k is plenty, second, above 3k is so maneuverable that it doesn't feel realistic imo, especially in big ships, third, are your tech S class or black market?

[runic bluff]

I really don't wanna use any glitches because I wanna see what else I can do but DAMN it reactors take up a lot of space when you're using 12 of them

[mild stratus]

Best corvette build I've seen so far

[spare knoll]

This is my setup, still under 4000. If I wanted to do better I'd have to stick another medusa reactor in it somewhere, get better rolls on/use better engines, or supercharge more than 2 pulse engine upgrades. Maybe using the ambassador cockpit since it has a higher bonus. I don't think there's anything else

[hybrid atlas]

i get to have little statues in my cockpit

[hardy badge]

@scarlet bison I can imagine the lag with all the glass.

Btw, two things, let's keep political references out of our channels given their inflammatory nature.

Also, side note: this channel is for corvette discussion. If you wanted to just showcase your corvette(s), we also have #nms-showcase-corvettes

[hardy badge]

lol love the design!

[fervent mist]

S class with 1 black market

[fervent mist]

How do you have so many tech slots?

[fervent mist]

I got as perfect of a square in supercharge slots as I could. Two of them next to each other. Is it just luck of the draw when building a new corvette and is that the trick to get it to 3k like you?

My ship might be quite a bit bigger so maybe that affects it?

[lime fractal]

RNG for the supercharge slots

[spare knoll]

You can buy them, I just had a stockpile of starship slot upgrades

[fervent mist]

Been buying and upgrading in creative mode, trying to get the best one but 2238 is the highest I am getting but would love 3000 maneuverability

[fervent mist]

Buy them from the starship trader? Same as for your starship?

[lime fractal]

Yes

[fervent mist]

Thank you

[lime fractal]

Or rather the starship moddifier scrapper

[fervent mist]

Last question. If my corvette has the 2338 maneuverability. As long as I rearrange my tech, I can always have the number no matter how big or how many cowlings on my ship, etc?

[spare knoll]

if you pay attention to where it shows your stats while building, your maneuverability will go up and down as you add parts. hard to say if having a bigger ship helps or hurts overall.

[fervent mist]

Feels like bigger helps and heavy thrusters are the best? Been messing with it a lot but I can change my ships size and design completely while keeping the number? Seems to work that way. Seems to all matter about the supercharge slots and you need 4

[abstract crow]

Man, the glitches to make a pointed bow design are going to drive me insane. I struggled to get it to work this morning, but it took me, like, 2 minutes to do it now.

[spare knoll]

I only used 2 supercharge slots on mine for pulse engine. Look in the pins in the legacy starship channel and you'll find a diagram of optimal module layout. You might be able to get a bit higher looking at that. I have a few things you probably don't, like the photonix core and almost perfect x-class modules but you should still be able to get pretty close with just s-class

[shut quiver]

does anyone have a blueprint for the millennium falcon\

[hardy oracle]

Even small changes to adjacency can have huge impacts, see before and after I shuffled mine around. Went from 4600 to 5000 manoeuvrability with just these changes. No changes to the actual ship or which proper techs I had installed (though I did add some more trails for adjacency)

[fervent mist]

I am missing the things you said. My tech slots are full though so may need to delete a zenith reactor or something. I know Medusa reactor helps with movement

[gritty halo]

Guys you are never gonna guess what just happened when I randomly went to my dreadnought and checked the starship archives etc

[hardy oracle]

Found an unexpected ship?

[fervent mist]

Thank you

[rich geyser]

Are the S grade upgrades better or the X ones?

[hardy oracle]

It's a little complicated. X-class are way more random but their max values are slightly higher than S-class

[bold escarp]

how exactly do I bypass the 100 complexity limit and what are the drawbacks

[gritty halo]

My first Corvette magically returned after about a week

[bold escarp]

or are there any plans to increase it in vanilla

[rich geyser]

How’d you get your maneuverability to 5K?

I’m stuck at 961 on my corvette

[hardy oracle]

You mean beyond what can be seen in the image? Nothing. A lot of adjacency and high rolls on modules. Of particular note is that the pulse engine itself does not contribute any stats, use it only to provide adjacency to modules that do. Same thing with the Polo Figurine and the exhaust trails

[gritty halo]

Uhm guys should I be worried?

My Corvette doesn't look like the one I made

[rich geyser]

How do you have so much space for these modules? I feel like my corvette has no space for it unless I take away from weapon upgrades.

[rich geyser]

Did it turn into a starship?

[barren current]

i copied my corvette from the expedition but i had one already can i somehow trash the other?

[hardy oracle]

I had to give up the idea of having multiple weapons. I only have a photon cannon, which is what hogs the single supercharged slot I'm not using for pulse engines

[gritty halo]

And it was the Normandy from Mass Effect

What do I do

[hardy oracle]

Bug report maybe?

[gritty halo]

Where?

I'm on console

[hardy oracle]

https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[spare knoll]

You have to buy more slots, or get the modules from missions. To get the max, your corvette will have to be s-class. even then you'll have to decide which things to leave out. You'll notice that the person with 5000 manuerverbility has left out some landing thruster modules, while I have fewer trails

[fervent mist]

Can’t scrap corvettes but you can sell them/exchange them to npc and then scrap the new regular ship you bought and you will have room again. Can only have 12 ships, corvettes incl

[hardy oracle]

I do have two landing thrusters, because that's what made sense visually. Using the big side thrusters

[barren current]

thats good to know thank you

[rich geyser]

What do your X upgrades look like stat wise?

[fervent mist]

A lot of Reddit searching lol

[gritty halo]

At least I got the cargo back what was init

[fervent mist]

How do you buy technology slots for corvette? I know you can buy extra cargo slots but not technology slots?

[hardy oracle]

Not in game right now since I'm about to head to bed, but you can see the highest possible roll for modules in a menu in game

[rich geyser]

Okay thank you!

I managed to bump my maneuverability up to 1700

[hardy oracle]

That's still plenty! I do really enjoy the speed and ability to turn, but at some point it really is enough already. More helps but isn't going to change your life 🙂

[hardy oracle]

Click in the tech area when buying slots.

[pine geode]

has anyone made the ship from Prometheus? lemme see if u have.

[sinful shore]

now that is a starter ship

(smolest thing i could make)

[urban bolt]

That looks like the lil drone ships I added to my vette lol

Thats a mere suggestion

Pretty much lol

Beatbox is how I did it.

[sinful shore]

if u use mods to bypass that you betray hello games 😤😤😤😤

[urban bolt]

No mods needed

[sinful shore]

well that I can live with

[urban bolt]

All in-game mechanics

[sinful shore]

tho I still get an ick when I see some people's corvettes with two pilot cabins

[urban bolt]

if you look close, you can see the purple beatbox wire that connects them

[sinful shore]

clever

speaking of pilot cabins....
how much people already screamed about titan one having a separate seat with a gun???

i have no idea what to make of this, cause this either stays a mere decoration or HG will likely have to re-do cabins or let you create separate ones for the gun pilots

[urban bolt]

I'd rather them fix turrets so they actually fire properly first.

[spark tinsel]

Anyone?

[sinful shore]

what do you need specifically?

[spark tinsel]

Just doing it. But mostly riding in someone's Corvette for awhile

[sinful shore]

ah. I could help you with the last one but not right now unfortunately

[urban bolt]

I just hung out in the space station until I could stowaway on a random ship lol

[sinful shore]

it wasn't easy for me either

so many people afk'ing

and then several crashes after I boarded someone's corvettes on anomaly and started warping into their systems

[hardy oracle]

That's an optional step with minor reward anyway, just ignore it if you don't have an easy solution

[sinful shore]

the thing is

the main reward is not the pies or the quicksilver...

it's the message you completed the expedition =3=

[hardy oracle]

You still get that though. Because it is optional

[sinful shore]

huh? nope

I got it and had my save converted to normal only after completing the optional ones as well

[hardy oracle]

Yeah, some steps don't count at all

[sinful shore]

another thing is some people may not want to leave expedition universe just yet perhaps

(since I remember expeditions are in another universe which is a copy of normal one and then gets combined with normal universe after exp ends?)

[wicked shell]

I finished making my updated video on how to do everything btw, it goes live in 12 mins.

Only thing I forgot to mention is the cockpit naming thing, but I am too lazy for that

[spark tinsel]

I just got a free freighter in my expedition save

[sinful shore]

you get those in normal saves as well

[sleek oasis]

Nice, I'll check it later

you might want to talk about expedition in #nms-expedition though @spark tinsel

Okay my tutorial on how to move habitats is now up btw. It's in my profile description so people can help figure out the exact math on how to move parts by different amounts.

[odd apex]

Anyone know if there's gonna be Living ship stuff for corvettes at some point?

[carmine nacelle]

To the guy who asked for my pics of my razor crest

[wraith quiver]

oooh lets see the front

[sleek oasis]

Would it work on an already created ship? Or do you need to move it completely every time

[carmine nacelle]

Damn. When I'm back on I'll do that

[elfin nest]

Oh what’s that piece!!

[granite arch]

Great info, thank you 👍

[sleek oasis]

@wicked shell funnily enough, the way I did it earlier isn't the same as your method, when I did it it moved the engine by even less

[wraith quiver]

idk i kinda like the flush fit a bit more at this point. bit more centered. im eager to see how that looks from the side though

[sleek oasis]

I think this is the best i'll get

[round cedar]

well, thats finally over with

scale of 1 to 10

[eternal bobcat]

So what are we meant to do with our plane at the start? I can't seem to sell it for scrap at the station as is. Do i just repair the items in inventory and then sell it?

or is this thing actually repairable even though it says its not

[sleek oasis]

Abandon it

I have so many ideas for mining ships yet suck at designing them

[hoary galleon]

Really proud how this turned out

Made a blade runner car ship

[quick hornet]

i really like compact design that feel logical but man that left side give me a OCD feeling

[spiral moon]

I posted my creation few days ago in the showcase thread. It's named Nirvana.

[quick hornet]

you need to understand the clipping mechanics or you will end up corvette look a bit skeleton or box , just tringle

[marsh thistle]

If there was anything I could wish for it would be to be able to stack a hab so you have like a vaulted ceiling. It would really give scale to the habs

that is great but the Complexity is super hard that's why we only have stack and we already lucky they add clipping features

[rancid owl]

Can’t wait to add a section to my corvette specifically for growing nipnip buds.

[marsh thistle]

True. I really have no complaints lol.

[icy kraken]

Well behold, my first true mining ship attempt

[urban bolt]

Can anyone explain why the Cyclotron gets added when you stick a rocket launcher on the corvette?

I already have to deal with the photon cannon being un-removeable so now I have 2 weapons I don't want and can't remove >_<

[mint basin]

look on the bright side at least you're not trapped inside your Corvette because the door won't open and you also can't use beam down to the surface

[sharp snow]

which head looks the best?

[native mortar]

Number 3, I think it’s the thunderbird?

But I always design along sleek lines

[sharp snow]

alright

[sharp snow]

o also you see how its red right? when i go out of he its not red anymore?

o

nvm

i had to accept

[south stratus]

Milano from GOTG

[wraith quiver]

inspired by the district 9 dropship. my biggest one so far lol

[south stratus]

🤌🏾

[faint citrus]

The first one. Because it didn’t stand out to me.

[wraith quiver]

id say first on that one too

i am trying to figure out the same for mine. idk how to design the front

[gloomy nebula]

Is this anything?

[faint citrus]

That’s a starship

[gloomy nebula]

I think I need to collect more parts and bulk it up in the back

It looks like I welded some trucks and stuff together, LOL

[icy kraken]

Ayo @wraith quiver , come check out my new mining ship

Front view and bottom view

[rancid owl]

Do all corvettes start as c class?

[wraith quiver]

Oh tthats dope man! looks very industrial

[wraith quiver]

as far as i know yeah

[sleek oasis]

which sides you guys think looks the best? it's gonna be a small build pulled by 2 big engines like this I think (haven't decided on the engine yet)

[wraith quiver]

personally i like the orange pod racer engines

[sleek oasis]

that was not the question unfortunately lol

[wraith quiver]

oh i think left side

[sleek oasis]

bigger and less sleek?

[cursive lark]

I like the one with the ambassador cockpit

[sleek oasis]

the 2 other images are just to show what im talking about, not what im gonna do

[cursive lark]

Oh

[wraith quiver]

Yehhh but idk i like how both sides would meet to a point instead of meeting to the engine.

but then again with it being powered by two engines..

idk thats tough

[wraith quiver]

def thinner.

[slender escarp]

anyone have any idea what parts I could use to make it look like this is holding a sword

[sleek oasis]

maybe something like this

[wraith quiver]

thats got such a classic ugo look

thatll look great in chrome

[sleek oasis]

fixed the top

[wraith quiver]

good spot for reactor that looks great

[sleek oasis]

not looking for a classic ufo look tho

[cursive lark]

That looks basic in a very good way. Make it shiny for even better looks

Imo

[wraith quiver]

tried at your engine thing. i couldnt get the inside thruster to pop out more than the outside ones. but the lights look better deeper inside the engine here imo

[sleek oasis]

[sleek oasis]

nice

[wraith quiver]

yeah i cant wait to see that one finished

[sleek oasis]

ngl the photon cannons looks pretty good there lol

[wraith quiver]

ooh yeh that looks good. might be clipping inside no?

[sleek oasis]

just perfect

[wraith quiver]

oh hell yeah

[sleek oasis]

bad news, I can't have 2 of these next to each other otherwise it clips too much in the cockpit and literally blocks everything

oh these don't look half bad, they obviously don't make the perfect shap like the others but its pretty good still

it adds some red lights and feels very imperial like, I think im gonna go for this

[wraith quiver]

dude yeah im looking at those now lol

trying to figure out a way to make my cockpit like a sentinel ships

with decorations. my actual cockpit is hidden, but i want a visible squared one made of light if i can manage it

[open tartan]

anyone got some tips for microbuilding

[sleek oasis]

never tried to hide a cockpit so :/

[open tartan]

ive run into a bit of a creativity block

[sleek oasis]

gonna try and recreate these engines later or tomorrow

[wraith quiver]

funny i was wanting to use those on mine as well but try to make it a little boxier to match my ship

[wraith quiver]

cos these i love the boxiness but might want it thinner

[gentle turtle]

Have come to find the Thermal grills are handy for changing the attachment points for things.

If you put them on a large hab, with some fiddling you can place a smaller hab "inside" the larger hab, but at a different attachment point, sort of midway between the two regular points.

Handy for offsetting some wing modules, among other things I'm sure others will fiddle with

Then place stuff on the offset hab, thrusters etc

Delete the offset hab and you're left with the offset thrusters or whatever you put on, but on the regular hab config.

I'll try make a little video when I get home from work

[wraith quiver]

yeah that offset glitch also works withother pieces in that category

a lot of the decorative bits.

[distant sleet]

had an "all modules must be connected" nothing is glowing red. deleted everything and rebuilt from scratch and still cant finalize

[merry holly]

how am i suppose to get more corvette component? beside de basic one available at outpost

[static monolith]

hmm not sure where to ask this question i asked in no mans sky tab no one said anything its not about covettes but this is the only place i have every had anyone reply to me

i saw a ship in a youtube short of no mans sky and want to know what it is and where to get it, the ship reminds me of a fish seems like a living ship or something

[wraith quiver]

its probably the living ship you get from the expedition

an old expedition

[static monolith]

this one is it from the expediton?

[wraith quiver]

pretty sure yeah

[static monolith]

dang so i cant get it then or do they ever redo the expeditions?

[wicked shell]

I think the only reason mine has a gap that size is because of the wings I used. I believe you could definitly get it smaller than that. I think that it just depends on the proportional differance in part weight per side. I also assume you may not need a new ship for it, I just have been using the same tiny one for consistency purposes when it comes to testing.

[static monolith]

gap what type of gap is it inside i had gaps before and fixed them

[static monolith]

is it gaps like this

[wicked shell]

You can create small offsets based on part distribution and placement. I have a video on my profile that goes over my current findings. It seems you have stumbled onto the same concept.

I have been able to get some cool designs using it, though with more research and people looking into it I think that you could find a way to get more percise differences. I have found a consistent way to get a half block gap, which is nice, though I have not been able to find an exact third or fourth. Close to them, but not quite there.

[distant sleet]

if you make something like this on your corvette (2 items connected) and delete it in a way that it deletes both at once you will brick your corvette. Dont do this!

[wicked shell]

how does it brick it?

[distant sleet]

not sure how but 1 decoration gets deleted and the other gets "deleted" its still there but like a ghost or something. when you will never be able to finalize and edit on the corvette after that because the ghost piece won't be "connected"

similar thing as this, actually the exact same thing

[wraith quiver]

yeah that cockpit idea is ugly as shit.

[wicked shell]

Oh I have not messed around with decals like that. I have deleted multiple stacked items though. I also know that putting a mobile save point on the ship bugs nearly everything and makes the doorframes and lights all turn invisible.

Plus you cant actually rename ships. If you hover over the drivers seat it will always have the default given ship name unless you use a save editor to change the name.

[neon slate]

Do you guys have some glitch tips to help me build a A-10 warthog

[wicked shell]

you could just juice a photon cannon and build a moc barrel with the guns hidden behind it?

because that thang shoots crazy fast when maxxed out

[olive yacht]

How did you get your parts to corner like that? I try it but it always ends up looking off

[glad oar]

You need to use a ducting joint as a temporary block to build it off the side.

[sleek oasis]

It's really not that hard, make a 2x3 rectangle, place the sides, remove the 2x2 square being the sides then align the ramps against the 2 parts left

[open tartan]

what do yall think can be improved about this thing

still dont know if i like it

its kinda cool but i'm new to shipbuilding so im gonna be proud of anything

[static monolith]

why is this the only one i ever get people who talk in i just went to the nms help and posted a question and nothing no answers or replies

[wraith quiver]

honestly i like it. and for me the funnest part about building ships is one upping the last one i made. so dont beat yourself up.

[open tartan]

fair nuff

[hallow verge]

What do y'all think of my small, explorer class corvette? Planning on making a huge one later but for now I wanted to make a smaller one that I'll use for system-wide and planet-wide activities like gathering more modules :3

I feel like I could improve it but not sure how

I don't wanna make it TOO big

That'll come later for a different ship, which I'll use as a massive garden and living space

[wicked shell]

I think I have just made the most minmaxxed corvette possible.

[knotty obsidian]

Is there anything that stops habs from making walkways? Or is there a seperator wall I can put up?

[sleek oasis]

I got an idea

I just need to start back up the game to show

[open tartan]

i'm listening

my first legit build so i appreciate criticisms

[sleek oasis]

it uses a glitch to mirror parts that aren't usually mirrorable

[fervent mist]

What is your maneuverability ? I am stuck on 2313

Pretty good supercharge slots too

[wicked shell]

I have maxxed out the adjacency bonus and have supercharge slotted x class boosters on it. I could get it higher but the 4th slot is supercharging my sub light amplifiers for interplanitary speeds

Wait I messed up here it is

sometimes nom nom messes up when saving and will make items marked as obsolite tech so I nad to recraft a sub light amplifier

oh yeah I tested it and it zips

[sleek oasis]

there's a glitch that makes you able to rotate parts that usually aren't able to, you could play with that and remake the back of the ship instead of having the ones coming out straight of it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbZ2VfVQtvY

the tutorial

[wicked shell]

thats the same one that I used to figure it out. good tutorial.

[iron flare]

Is it possible to make bigger rooms or are we limited to 1×1 / 1×2

[sleek oasis]

basically

[wicked shell]

You could put them next to eachother and have doors I guess.

[open tartan]

thanks i'll check this out

is there a work around for vertical mirroring?

i wanted to flip over this thruster

[sleek oasis]

thats the only way to do it

you basically make a 3x1 shape with habs

go out of corvette building, place a ladder, come back in building mode, pick up the middle hab and turn it

then you'll be able to stack habs on top of each other that are facing both ways, making you able to mirroring

but nothing for vertical

horizontal only

ah well

still i'll see if i can use that in my build

[wicked shell]

my ship door opens to the wrong platform lol

its that far back when landing on the anomaly

[sleek oasis]

wip, enough for today tho

[wicked shell]

Woah that is sick tho

[sleek oasis]

The engines are almost done, just need to lower basically every cover except for top of the farthest to the left

[cloud junco]

Are 'walkways' half-sized 'habs'?

[olive yacht]

Yes

[cloud junco]

Thank you

...Is there a bigger hab

[olive yacht]

Not currently no, I don’t think they will make one honestly

[wicked shell]

I am confused because my stats on my ship just went up, and I haven't done anything. Now my maneuverability is 3791.8

[olive yacht]

If anything I’d want the ability to flip the hab sideways

[sleek oasis]

No, habs are half walkways

[olive yacht]

lol

[wicked shell]

I think you can do that now

[strong finch]

👋

[wicked shell]

https://youtu.be/7CI8vSSACRQ

That video should be how to flip sideways

[sleek oasis]

The tech inventory probably fucking jumbled up again

Such an annoying bug

[wicked shell]

Cant jumble it since its full

It only moves if I remove or add things but I cant add any more stat modifying things to the ship.

[sleek oasis]

It can if you change ship

[wicked shell]

Tada!

[wicked shell]

Then I will never be changing ships lol

because I spent like 20 mins getting that thing set for max bonuses

[sleek oasis]

Then the parts that are on the ship, like engines and such, that were place originally when done building, comes back to where they were and overrides modules

I lost a bunch of tech modules like that

[wicked shell]

looking back I have had it jumble things in the past but I assumed it was becasue I added things to my ship

[sleek oasis]

No, before the patch if you reloaded it came back

But not this time around

[wicked shell]

wait so it deleted them?

[sleek oasis]

Tho I'm not 100% sure of that but the one time it happened to me they were fully gone

Yep, since the parts to build went back to where they were before I moved them for optimization

So they resetted, and if some other modules are there it overrides them

[wicked shell]

ahh that sucks. so what you are saying is keep dupe of my ship on nom nom to have in case things break with the next patch.

[sleek oasis]

Basically always drive the same ship

[wicked shell]

because I do not want to have to open that many things again lol

also tuens out having three medusa reactors gets rid of the cockpit in the inventory

I didnt think it would

[cloud junco]

[sleek oasis]

Walkways big, habs smol

[wicked shell]

I can say that I have found that while part placement matters for adjacency bonus the rotation of said cluster does not matter in the slightest

[wraith quiver]

can someone help me out with ideas for the front. i want the "cockpit" to look similar to a sentinel ships.

[open tartan]

if mods were used in the creation of a corvette can you still use it in multiplayer

[shut mango]

Try covering up the light source, think of it as a tongue in a mouth then build from there

[wicked shell]

You could use flat signs and color them to match?

They are literally my favorite decoration because they have no texture

[wraith quiver]

wanting something glowy, but not finding anything i like lol thanks for the help you all

[glad oar]

Is there a way to put a galactic trade terminal in a corvette?

Without modding or no?

[neon slate]

I tried to glitch a cargo capsule into the photon cannon but it didn’t work

[blissful estuary]

Anyone know any good pieces to make this look smooother?

[wicked shell]

I forget what they are called but I loke using the alretnative looking triangles. they are not quite triangles but they have more texture without being round.

they are on the right side of the inventory

[fervent mist]

Adjacent part placement is all that matters apparently. Just got my huge corvette to 2501 maneuverability from 2313. Considering rebuilding and focusing specifically on tech that increased maneuverability. I have a s class, a class, c class, and x class thrusters

One landing gear, maybe even 1 reactor to have all my tech slots free for thrusters and boosters. Is that a good idea?

[elfin nest]

How do I get all the pieces I could ever want

[hardy oracle]

You could turn on creative mode. Otherwise the fastest method by far is to equip a cyclotron ballista on a corvette and just go to a planet with salvage and a reasonably flat surface. You don't ever have to get out of the ship. Just stand up, scan and mark the next salvage, fly over and blast it and repeat. Hotkey getting out of the seat without landing, and go into first person to remove animations too.

[tame idol]

wait i just realized

you cant remove the photon cannon?

[rugged jolt]

Looks complicated af ngl

[elfin nest]

Can you even find the corvette modules without making one?

[neon bay]

Just watched this show up at the Anomaly

[clear crater]

Did the patch fix corvette spawning after teleporting to a base? They always tended to be half stuck in a building or other crap, stopped me from using a corvette..

[neon bay]

So this was a glitch build pirate ship and when it rendered in it made my framerate drop to 3fps

[fading skiff]

easily the worst tetris piece

[elfin nest]

Leave my boy Cleveland Z alone

[quaint venture]

probably didnt finish loading

[quaint venture]

that might have been mine

[elfin nest]

You should be able to buy the advanced corvette modules lol

[quaint venture]

i dunno what u mean by glitch build tho

Nope. Sent it as a bug report because it can get out of hand

[eternal bobcat]

Has anyone experienced logging back into the game in expedition and found all their exosuit inventory to be emptied?

[wicked shell]

Here is my current ship stats. My highest maneuverability yet.

[hardy oracle]

Those are pretty good stats! I'm up to 5k at this point. There doesn't seem to be any diminishing returns but I think at some point more speed just becomes unnecessary

[tame idol]

the diminishing return is it becomes actually uncontrollable in space lol

[wicked shell]

How did you get to 5k? Was it the thrusters as I am using the red ones for looks.

Either that or my x class modules could be better

[wicked shell]

It's already very touchy

[hardy oracle]

Probably not, I'm using low end thrusters too due to looks. I'm guessing it's either supercharging or adjacency that's different. Mind showing your expanded tech inventory? Here's mine

The unexpectedly big things was making sure a third medusa reactor stole the space from the cockpit as well as surrounding Polo

[wicked shell]

Ohhhhhh you use all the trails. I didn't bother with them I like the look of mine and wanted to keep max shields. I just didn't have room

That explains a lot tho. There is a really good website with AI adjacency bonus layouts which is nice. It seems the layout matters but rotation of layout does not which is where my tech layout mostly comes from.

Medusa pairs with polo?

[hardy oracle]

No, medusa pairs with medusa. But you can have 3 medusas if you place them before you place the cockpit

[wicked shell]

Yeah I have 3

Okay just making sure that would have broken my minmaxing heart

My layout is so good lol

It's in the chat somewhere but I'm on my phone and it's 330 for me so I'm not gonna look that up.

[hardy oracle]

No worries, found it

[hardy oracle]

Looks pretty good, here's some easy swaps you can do that should give you higher stats without downside. Just a guess without seeing the actual stats of your modules, but the Polo swap will surely improve things.

I don't know where your supercharged slots are though. 🙂

[wicked shell]

I was wondering about the bobblehead layout. I used a min max site for the other layouts so that's interesting. What's the logic behind the left side swaps? Also my supercharged slots are whatever since I chose them with a save editor. I'm boosting my x class thrusters and sub light rn.

Realizing you are probably right with the landing gear swap, but I would need to check to make sure.

[hardy oracle]

Polo benefits unusually well from adjacency. I guess the little guy just really likes being surrounded by friends

[wicked shell]

That's nice tho since I can have all three bobbles next to eachother

[slow harbor]

His SCs are ALL in the engines

[tardy bear]

Is there a way to turn corvette parts upside down? 🙃

[slow harbor]

i predict like 6k maneuverability since i have 1 sc in engines and i have comfortably 2700

So, just to clarify, does everyone have these gaps between hab and window now?

We should all send bug reports if yes

[wicked shell]

Just the x class modules and the sub light thrusters

I only have 4 supercharged because that's the normal amount for an x class. I could test it on nom nom and do everything to get some crazy stats, but I'm not sure what the rules are for using those ships in social spaces and what not. I wanted to keep it functionally a vanilla ship. Just min maxed to hell

[wicked shell]

Not sure but those windows are always buggy so I wouldn't doubt it. I use the other kind to get small triangle windows for my ships.

[slow harbor]

they were completely, and perfectly fine until 6.05 for me

only downside they were buggy with recoloring

and that's it

[wicked shell]

So you have a mobile save point on your ship? I know that causes a lot of visual bugs like removing the doors and lights.

Do*

[slow harbor]

now they float off the side so much i can walk through them

[slow harbor]

it persists on new corvettes

[wicked shell]

Huh weird

[slow harbor]

they seem like they are just scaled up a bit

which causes them to be like thaty

before 6.05 these were in line

[daring granite]

Do you think my Corvette Looks OK or should i improve some parts?

[slow harbor]

and flush

[slow harbor]

Other wall is fine

[quaint venture]

i hope soemone makes the tower of sauran

[slow harbor]

can you check on your end please, i want to know if it's a one-off issue or its a gamewide thing

[wicked shell]

I'm in bed so I will check in the morning and get back to you because I also want to see if that is game wide. I have one where while looking at the cockpit before entering it always says the autogenerated ship name unless you rename it in a save editor. I've tested it on a few ships and it persists at least as of today.

Like the original ship name even after you rename it in game.

Welp I'm off to bed. See y'all tomorrow.

[slow harbor]

that one was fixed for me in 6.04

and goodnight

[mild stratus]

Those windows have always had a gap at the bottom tbh so it's no surprise they are buggy

[slow harbor]

no, they didn't

literally no

i have been using them in that same corvette for a week now

[mild stratus]

I mean you can say no all you want but I've seen the gap at the bottom for myself as there the only windows I use and I've been using them since the corvette update

[slow harbor]

i feel like i got updated to the 6.0 version instead of 6.05 bruh

everything was fine for me until it got fixed apparently

before 6.05 seamless windows had this bit

their own style but it was there

now they dont anymore

[pseudo forge]

It was a known bug where you can fall through window because of a gap. And supposedly fixed in 6.05. Think was part of patch notes as well.

[mild stratus]

So just don't use those windows until there fixed

[slow harbor]

well EXACTLY, it was all fine for me before they 'fixed' it

i feel like downdated instead of updating

[mild stratus]

That's how console players felt when they fixed corvette collision and it actually made it worse before finally being fixed

[pseudo forge]

I played SC for too long to complain about other games bugs (because they pale in comparison to SC's scale and amount). The work around mentality and the ability to ignore bugs one has to have to play SC can't be understated.

[mild agate]

Im confused. Im looking at my manoeuvrability and when i am picking an engine that gives + manoeuvrability and then install it my manoeuvrability drops?

[mild stratus]

Simple fix for the window issue just put some cabinets infront of it so u can't walk through

[slow harbor]

yeah except i actively use the windows

and paneled windows are tinted to 9 hells

so they are unuseable

I guess i'll just have to shift my ADHD hyperfocus on something that isn't a corvette or isn't NMS until this gets fixed

bums me out very much

[knotty obsidian]

the wing thruster are NOT engines

this is a bug

You could remove a few till under 9 and see if that gets it to work. I understand its not an engine.

Or just go with its a bug and not do anything

I like the reactor ontop of landing gear. Havent seen that used personally.

[knotty obsidian]

Thank you. I should post some pics of my whole build when im on the game next. Did some cool things with the spinning reactor too

[naive depot]

Yay or nay? Be honest

[hardy oracle]

A bit too big for my liking but it looks quite well balanced. Though surely there are better moments to take screenshots than in hyperspace if you want people to see your work? 🙂

[naive depot]

yeah was in hyperspace at the time

[remote crypt]

90 Degree rotation tutorial: https://youtu.be/7CI8vSSACRQ

[hardy oracle]

I like it! The thruster section doesn't quite match the rest of the ship though, maybe you can connect them with something? You have a few flat areas that feel a little out of place, maybe you can use an offset glitch to squeeze something in there to cover it up a little? An aside note, that's a dramatic space station. I should totally find a dramatic station to make my screenshots in 🙂

[naive depot]

actually goated name ill change it

there thats accurate

[abstract crow]

Working on a new design. Aiming for a more super star destroyer style with a square rear and sharper hull.

[random cliff]

Have this problem multiple times

[slim river]

Jesus that is a lot of parts

Looks awesome though

[abstract crow]

That's maybe 1/3 of the parts I intend to use. I'm looking to do maybe three levels. Or four with a bridge.

[raw jungle]

may I present the chonky ducko. Not a spectacular build but my first one that I actually like

[lime fractal]

looking good

[flint plover]

it must have been said a thousand times already but, how many of each component do you need (reactor, landing gear etc) for max stats until it caps out?

What is the difference between ambassador, titan, and thunderbird?

[fleet island]

Does anyone know if there is some way to level up your corvette class without paying nanites? i have heard from multiple people that there is but that does NOT seem like truth

[fleet island]

from what i can gather just aesthetic

[pliant falcon]

If you mean the habs, they have different interiors
Ambassador is 80s sci-fi with white foam padding
Titan is industrial with just flat metal everywhere
Thunderbird is scrapped/cobbled together look with exposed wires and pipes and stuff
Difference is visual only, functionality is identical

[white fable]

A quick question about corvettes

[sleek oasis]

It's crazy how we have the perfect part for a Jedi starfighter but can't rotate it vertically to use it

[glad oar]

What part

The Arcadia Blade?

[sleek oasis]

I'm not in my PC rn but it's in the second tab, top row

[sleek oasis]

Idk without seeing it

[glad oar]

Did you try offset building?

Or using a similar method to make it look more like it?

But without using the part

[sleek oasis]

No and I will wait until it's possible to do cause it'll look better

[glad oar]

I did this with offset building

[sleek oasis]

I'll wait for it to be possible

[glad oar]

Oh yeah the Arcadia wing blade

Thing is this is not possible to make because you need a square hab for ur cockpit

And none of the cockpit look like that.

[sleek oasis]

Doesn't matter, you can find a workaround for that

But the one part that we have that looks exactly like it is not able to be used properly

[abstract crow]

You'll also need a way to get in. That might mess up the design as well

The ambassador entry is pretty small, but even that protrudes a fair amount

[glad oar]

Which is why its currently impossible

[abstract crow]

One of the reasons* you can get around the hab, and you can flip the wings, but not without glitching, which I guess they don't want to do.

[manic sphinx]

Thanks asuka

[signal flare]

:p

[sleek oasis]

If you upscale it you should still be able to make it pretty round, that's not really an issue

You use the Thunderbird for the hab

So it's a 2x1 with the cockpit

Then you place shit around it to make it round

[hexed fractal]

Anyone know a workaround with the Corvette teleporter stuff

[mild stratus]

Better autophage gun/dropship

[hexed fractal]

Like when you teleport and it glitches inside of your buildings

Maybe we'll get corvette landing pads

[hexed fractal]

I hope lol, theyre a bit janky to land in almost every place. I try to utilize the autopilot beam down feature as much as possible

[manic sphinx]

I love it when I can't enter because the ramp is 6 meters off the ground and when I fly in the gravity gets weird

[mild stratus]

I'm hoping they give us something bigger like a shipyard so we don't have to go to stations to make ships plus it could double as a mech/vehicle crafter if they ever do anything with land vehicles

[lusty ravine]

Use this cockpit

[signal flare]

Reminds me of how my corvettes have multiple ramps and an elevator

It does help but still

That's a good part of why I mostly use my starships

[abstract crow]

The super star destroyer-like design is completed. Struggled near the end and couldn't figure out how to get my weapons to turn the right way without tearing the whole ship apart to fix the habs, but I like it.

[shadow breach]

Am i wrong or not all Corvette parts are available both in the basic modules section and in the advanced tradable section?

[mild meadow]

My looks like this too 😍

[knotty obsidian]

I noticed that too

[small plaza]

Millennial Eagle

[abstract crow]

Aluminum Falcon.

[knotty obsidian]

What pieces are used down the sides to make it so smoothly diagonal?

[abstract crow]

Arcadian wing(?) my PC isn't on to check the exact name. They're also rotated at the front.

[knotty obsidian]

Oh yeah that’s probably it. I was using those before But for some reason i couldn’t flip them the right way

[small plaza]

[robust finch]

Trying to share steam screens from deck, one second...

[small plaza]

Also that pfp looks somewhat familiar

[robust finch]

There we go.

[knotty obsidian]

How on earth are some of yall rotating pieces like the arcadia wing?

[blazing zephyr]

There's a rotation glitch in the game, lets you rotate a hab 180, which lets you place pieces "backwards".
I've seen videos with stairs, there's probably other ways. I haven't tried it yet

[knotty obsidian]

Ooooooooo nice. Time to redesign my giant ass build. Can make it look so much better with that glitch

[kind mural]

I really hope some day HG give us round habs, or maybe hexadecimal shaped habs... some different option from the square ones.

[blazing zephyr]

yeah. there's a tonne of YT videos on it, I've also see 90 degree but I can't imagine what I'd use that for

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

[blazing zephyr]

My wishlist is...
being able to place modules on the end of habs, so that wide builds are more feasible.
and... more vertical pieces so tall builds are possible

[mild stratus]

And godamn side entrances at least starfield had side entrances even if it was a poor game

[kind mural]

Exactly!

[knotty obsidian]

Habs rotated 90 degress would be amazing. Would save me a few pieces too

[blazing zephyr]

So... hoping there's some people out there with opinions on adding extra parts to corvettes for stats.
I feel like there's two options... keep the stat-generating parts to a minimum and leave more tech slots, then upgrade like any other ship (which I'm sure there's plenty of methods)
or load up on parts, like I did, and therefore fit fewer upgrades

[knotty obsidian]

And landing pads! I spawn into my base and my corvette is just hanging out phased into the top half of it lmao

[olive yacht]

Augment the ship, it will make your bank account cry in game but it’s so worth it

[blazing zephyr]

Augment the ship?
So... I've been messing around in creative partly. upgrading to S and full slots is easy then.
I figured I'd see what I could do. and... with the upgrades I have access to, the corvette has better stats than my normal ship, but also has basically no tech slots left

[runic bluff]

Until then they should just have your Corvette spawn at altitude hovering above your base computer

Either that or don't spawn it in at all and let you summon it

[blazing zephyr]

the last update seemed to partly fix this. mine appears further away and not usually phased into my base

[abstract crow]

Well, with yet another massive ship design done, I need to try and make something small(er).

[blazing zephyr]

this is my challenge, and why i'm debating parts and upgrades

[runic bluff]

Increase ship from C to B, B to A, etc

[knotty obsidian]

True that. It always spawns in too low for me

[blazing zephyr]

yeah. I'm already S-class on this corvette I'm messing with.
and the stats are "ok"? but I feel like normal ships can push this so much higher

[buoyant kiln]

Some funky 'Vette i did in like 10 mins

[wicked shell]

Okay I have done some testing and I can confirm that the only improvement that works for my ship the the polo figurine, as you can only get a max of 3 adjacency bonus so the swapping of the hyperdrive components does not change the stats. I also am going to keep the landing gear only becasue the way it is not gets me more boost through adjacency bonus. The swap would be slightly better for fuel economy but boost is more important to me. The polo swap did get my maneuverability up though. Here is my new stats after the swap.

[gloomy nebula]

I have managed to get most of the stats for my corvette I pretty high, except for weapon damage. Maybe once they finally introduce the infra-knife platform part I can do better.

[runic bluff]

The main advantage to loading up on tech is that you can have 3 from parts and then 3 more from standard ship upgrade modules

[hardy oracle]

Optimizing is fun 🙂

[gloomy nebula]

I may also want to take out some of the mods since the parts I have make the mods kind of redundant and I have limited equipment space for trails and bobbleheads and stuff

[wicked shell]

Yessir. I think I have finally figured out how to optimize with adjacency bonus, but I am dreading finally doing my space suit.

[blazing zephyr]

this is where I'm at. i'm tring to get stats like this too
see, this is where I'm at. I want to get corvette stats like this

[blazing zephyr]

would you share your super-secret tech layout? 😉

[hardy oracle]

I did a before and after picture of my last optimization, maybe it helps you? Did some marking with my elite paint skills to clarify. Green for supercharge, red for adjacency optimizations.

[blazing zephyr]

I just feel like I'm adding too many modules when there might be other ways to boost the stats

[robust finch]

Had to delete my screens and share them to it's recommended link in Corvette showcase ... Sorry for the disturbance.

[blazing zephyr]

I know I still have a bit of space left on this one, and there's bound to be something better to fit in. maybe I should concentrate on 1 weapon, and maybe I don't need as many shield bonuses

[blazing zephyr]

wait a tick... you have 6 engine upgrades... I thought the cap was 3 lol

[wicked shell]

so I have done a bit of testing myself and I have found that the generation used on this site is accurate to the most optimised loadouts possible. I have tried many iterations and the ones used are always the most optimal in my findings. https://nms-optimizer.app/?platform=corvette

It is kind of dumb for aranging them, but just know you can rotate the design and it stays good as long as you dont mirror it and just rotate it

[hardy oracle]

3 corvette parts, 3 regular boosters, and then normal unique craftables

[hardy oracle]

Thanks! I'll check it out 🙂

[wicked shell]

to be fair though I use a save editor to select my supercharge slots so its not as random, though you can select slots to supercharge in the loadout optimizer and it will work around them to an extent.

I also save space because I only use photon cannons

[blazing zephyr]

Ohh ok. the X modules are the regulars, and the S are the unique craftables I assume. I'm not 100% what they are, but i'm sure it's in the tech tree somewhere

[exotic spruce]

This video was great, it made this easy to make:

[blazing zephyr]

thanks, I'll try that out. it may be what I'm missing

[wicked shell]

The 45degree offset is dope!

[hardy oracle]

Supercharged slots aren't really as troublesome to arrange on corvettes as they are for regular ships anyway, save editing just saves a bunch of menu use so I'd hardly consider that much of a cheat. It's free to attempt to get the perfect supercharge layout for corvettes, you can just keep trying and resetting again and again until you get it

[steep ice]

How can I delete a corevette I designed to get my parts back?

[blazing zephyr]

That's the neat trick..... you can't get them "all" really.
you can delete everything and build a new one in that "slot", or you can reduce to bare minimum pieces and trade it away, then salvage the traded ship.
that's pretty much the only options I've found so far

[silent knoll]

so will there be more style of piece in future updates?

[hardy oracle]

As far as I know, you cannot. Rebuild it to use minimal parts to get as much as you can back.

[silent knoll]

styles*

[hardy oracle]

Probably? It seems likely that Hello Games will do many further updates relating to corvettes but it's not like we can see the future. We're just fans here

[wicked shell]

Well I keep the same number as on regular ships and I keep them in the top three rows, so I dont count it as cheating either. I mean its not like this game has much of a competitive element to it. My ship is super good but like... diminishing returns, its not much better than a base corvette. A little faster and turns quick but its mostly about number getting big for me.

[silent knoll]

is there more than what i am seeing right now? for parts? or is that all of them?

[hardy oracle]

I guess that depends on what you're seeing right now.

[blazing zephyr]

indeed

[silent knoll]

i thot maybe there were rare parts out there to find

not in the basic or advanced module list

[hardy oracle]

The main corvette build interface should list everything that's currently available though, whether you have obtained them or not. Not so when it comes to decor though, that has to be unlocked to be visible.

[blazing zephyr]

really, based on this, it seems that optimal setup assumes you're using 3 of each part that gives a bonus to that thing. so what i'm doing really is "correct" if you're going for max numbers

[silent knoll]

i need hull and wing pieces

[blazing zephyr]

Are you looking in the "purchase basic modules" section? that is extremely limited.
if you're customizing your corvette and looking at the build menu, there's 3 tabs. and yes, that's all of them

[hardy oracle]

Adjacency is important though, you're not clumping up your modules as much as you could. It's also important to remember that adjacency boosts only the adjacent modules, so you want to prioritize boosting the best modules. This for example is not great in your setup:

[silent knoll]

all i seem to get when i go salvage farming is decoratrive pieces not what i want, like the hull pieces to shape a ship

[hardy oracle]

You can use trade parts you have too many of for parts you have too few of at stations too

[blazing zephyr]

yeah, it's not entirely intuitive, but I follow. I'm going to have to move other things to make space, then fix the adjacently there.
in this case, the 2 s-class upgrades are both on supercharged slots

[blazing zephyr]

what you get from salvage farming is random

[hardy oracle]

X-class can be pretty random, but I assume you have it in there because it rolled better than an S-class. In which case you really should try to keep it adjacent to as much as possible, and maybe supercharge it too

[silent knoll]

i know it sucks

[hardy oracle]

But that's why there's a trade menu, so the random doesn't hurt much

[hardy harbor]

what can increase class of corvette? I swear, all info online now fake or incorrect,lol

[hardy oracle]

Same way you increase regular ships, at the very back of space stations

[hardy harbor]

Only nanite pay to terminal or soemthing else?

[blazing zephyr]

I can't really show them all, but everything you see on the build menu is all the options you have.
some might be greyed out, just means you haven't found one yet (or don't have any more)

[hardy oracle]

Ship Class is upgraded with nanites, yes.

[hardy harbor]

bugs out like slot increase...

[hardy oracle]

Seems to work fine for me, what happens when you try?

[hardy harbor]

stays C 😛 Same with adding slots, sometimes t doesn't add them

[hardy oracle]

Hm, never had that happen but maybe someone else knows what's up

[spiral prism]

Me neither

[blazing zephyr]

I have had weird stuff happn, but usually reloading last save fixes it

[buoyant kiln]

Smoothed out-ish

[hardy harbor]

You guys tend to build ur'Quan ships, lol

[hardy oracle]

I think people have a pretty wide variety of styles here, it's fun to see what people come up with

[buoyant kiln]

Didn't really had anythin in mind, just built what came up first in mind

[spiral prism]

I just go whichever way the parts take me

[hardy harbor]

Maybe Startrek and Starcontrol just sit that deep 😛

[buoyant kiln]

Ye, that's what i kinda think of when i hear starship

[hardy harbor]

Hmm... too small for Battlestar <.<

[spiral prism]

There is only one wrong way to build and that’s frame killing monster ships

[gloomy nebula]

I may tear down and rebuild my corvette at some point, after I get more parts. But it’s good for now.

[spiral prism]

I do wish there was a delete option like with bases. Once you build a ship, you are stuck with it to some degree

[fringe stag]

In multiplayer*
Build monster 100s of part ships, but stay in offline mode xD

[spiral prism]

For sure. Be conscious of other people’s game experience

[fringe stag]

Yeppp
I have a huge star destroyer build

But it’s like 250 parts without interior. So that’s just for fun little times in offline

[spiral prism]

Very cool!

[buoyant kiln]

Kind of funny that almost 50-70% of ALL corvettes at anomaly are some gigantic monstrosities built from random junk

[spiral prism]

Leave my space junker out of this 🤡

[fringe stag]

Space junkers are sick !

[spiral prism]

Another note. Did you all see the ability to apply color and finish type to the entire corvette is now available ?

[fringe stag]

It’s patched!?

I heard it was broken for a while

[buoyant kiln]

yeah, it's kind of meh though

it's broken a bit

[spiral prism]

I gets about 85%

[hardy oracle]

It's available as a button to click, but it doesnt' seem to do anything for me. Initially it seems to work but nothing sticks when I save

[buoyant kiln]

yea

[spiral prism]

Still easier than before

[pliant harbor]

how do i get start the corvette quest?

[fringe stag]

Do you actually mean quest, or expedition?

[buoyant kiln]

Interact with corvette builder at space station

[pliant harbor]

quest, what does the expedition do?

[fringe stag]

^ that’s for the quest, I’d point you to #nms-expedition for that

[hardy oracle]

There isn't really a corvette quest, you can just make one anytime you like at a station. The expedition just sets you up to do so instead of going to a regular ship first.

[fringe stag]

It’s a limited time event thing
Can get some exclusive rewards from it

[buoyant kiln]

Well, there is corvette quest when you interact with the assembler for the first time

[fringe stag]

I’d say it’s more a corvette tutorial with its content but yeah

[hardy oracle]

Calling that a quest is a bit excessive. By that measure any tutorial is a quest 🙂

[buoyant kiln]

well yea

But it's in the quest's menu so

[spiral prism]

Most expeditions are tutorials for new mechanics… some are more interesting than others

[pliant harbor]

how does one make one at the station?

[hardy oracle]

There are these huge landing pads further out from the shops on the station. There are terminals there.

[pliant harbor]

yeah but i dont see a corvette option

[spiral prism]

You can access them using the three teleport pads

[hardy oracle]

The opposite end of the station

[mild stratus]

Anyone got the link for how to put a landing bay inside a hab?

[fringe stag]

Landing bay?

[hardy oracle]

Nitpick, but there's four 🙂

[spiral prism]

I can’t count. Leave me alone.

[mild stratus]

The thing you use to get into your corvette

[hardy oracle]

Sorry! I really just think it may be helpful for them to find them, they might think it's something else

[dapper moon]

building a new corvette after expedtion from the parts iI already had but keeps saying that all parts must be connected, wish it would give a clue to which part because i cannot figure it out

[wraith quiver]

i thought the trick was that it wasnt "in" a hab. you set it to exit a hab and build around it

i think idk i didnt really watch the tutorial cos i doubt id ever use it

[buoyant kiln]

ye need to place the landing gear first, then living module

[fringe stag]

Ah
You can’t put it in a hab , it goes on the end of them, but if you want a landing access point like in the middle of your ship (at the bottom) you can have 3 habs in a line, delete the middle one, and then place the landing ramp going into one, and a triangular piece opposite

[wraith quiver]

^

i ended up doing it on accident fartin round. youre pretty much building an anti hab, using the space where the hab SHOULD be as a room without the hab there itself.

[mild stratus]

@buoyant kiln @fringe stag ah thanks wanna use the thunderbird landing bay but obviously u can't put on the bottom floor so I'm having to compromise lol

[fringe stag]

Or , you can use the ambassador (I think)one, which is the elevator option, and that can go directly in line with habs and walkways. But in my experience the elevator one has been extra buggy

[fringe stag]

Oh thunderbird being the elevator not ramp one?

[hardy oracle]

They don't go inside habs, you place those instead of habs.

[abstract crow]

Hmm... I wonder if you can glitch one of those into a hab?

[mild stratus]

Ok now I just want habs with access ways in the future

[wraith quiver]

i want a curve half hab

[spiral prism]

Now your talking

[wraith quiver]

to make a cockpit you climb into

or a cockpit hab top bubble ersumshit idk.

[spiral prism]

Well said

[wraith quiver]

would be dope if they did just give us doors instead of just ramps and elevators. so you could slap it on any exposed hab from any angle.

[spiral prism]

Get out of my brain!

[wraith quiver]

doors as well as ramps/elevators*

[hardy oracle]

All you'd get out of that is a teleport button and a bunch of clutter, it certainly wouldn't open up a hole in a regular hab.

Top mount engines

[buoyant kiln]

is there currently some way to smooth out this?

[spiral prism]

Aerofoils

One of them might cover most of it

[buoyant kiln]

Well, kind of did the work, sadly there's no shape like this cube so it would smooth it even more

[deep harness]

I keep trying to paint my ship and it keeps going back to the default colour after pressing apply to all it's so frustrating am I doing something wrong?

[buoyant kiln]

you'll have to do some manually

[wraith quiver]

hail mary and merge all the things.

til you like something then trim the fat lol

[spiral prism]

It’s a bug. Same thing happens in freighters for me

I gave up color coordinating my freighter since the colors change with every update it seems

[deep harness]

Is there a way to fix it or do I have to paint it all manually?

[fervent mist]

I did it you guys. 3009.7 maneuverability. Got 4 supercharge slots all together almost forming a perfect square exactly. I have room to add more tech too. I found my corvette. Came with a Japanese name too or sounds like it lol

[spiral prism]

Wait on more updates when they fix paint all or manual

[wicked shell]

welp time to make a new ship I guess...

[fervent mist]

I know some of you have 5k but I think 3k maneuver is good. I’ll try to get it higher as I buy more tech

[deep harness]

Okay cheers

[native frost]

are x modules the way to go? i’ve been using s and can’t get past 2k

[fervent mist]

Seriously, take a screen shot of whatever maneuver or stat is the highest. The exact placement of thrusters, cockpit, and reactors mean everything. Honestly, only use 4 supercharge slot corvettes

[wicked shell]

Any design ideas for what I should do with my next ship? I kind of am thinking of testing until I can even out my offset spacing and then making some hella compact little thing. Maybe something with the new rotation methods?

[south panther]

i js made a corvette but it looks buns, anyone willing to help me build some nice lookin one

[fervent mist]

I put an a, s, x, and c. It’s what I had but the x one does seem to help a lot. Can’t be multiple s thrusters but not sure about X. I’m on a mission to buy more thrusters and probably replace the C thruster

[fervent mist]

Railgun ship?

[wicked shell]

but if the gun isnt functional it will bug me

[native frost]

can’t be multiple s thrusters? wdym?

[fervent mist]

What I like about the stat thing btw is I can add whatever cosmetics and as long as I put everything back the way it was in my tech slots, stats will stay the same. More hubs do equal less space for tech I think

[fervent mist]

You can’t have 2 sunlight amplifiers installed. Please correct me if I am wrong but doesn’t let me do 2 of the same

Pulse engine augmentation

[native frost]

ohh okay you’re talking about the augments

[wraith quiver]

i like the railgun style design as well but mine sucks.

[fervent mist]

I recommend 2 Medusa reactors, 2 thurbderbird heavy booster, and at least one titan heavy booster. I do one weapon to save my tech slots. Those are the corvette parts you can build but the augments help immensely when you put everything adjacently

[fervent mist]

My ships are not the best design wise and wish I could create like you all do but I still love it because it’s mine. Upstairs is my laboratory and kitchen and my cockpit is a botanical garden which I never pick since I like being surrounded by the big colorful plants lol

[spiral prism]

Whatever works as long as you have fun doing it

[wraith quiver]

love plants as well. i just finished up my first "larger" ship. all my ships are pretty small.

[fervent mist]

I sit on the front of my ship outside in space and just chill. My favorite game and creative mode helps a lot to find the perfect 4 tech slot corvette

[wraith quiver]

howd you go a bout doing that anyway

i have one ship thats a three slot with a fourth cornered

[spiral prism]

I did the same, looking at my freighter and planet

[fervent mist]

Yeah, my other two are huge so going to keep this one small. Maybe make it a small fighter corvette or something. Maybe go more ufo look

[tardy bear]

Wasnt the grille cap suppose to be in this update? Cant find it

[wraith quiver]

yeah ive got two fighters and three larger ships

which is odd now that i see myself type that lol

[spiral prism]

Good question

[fervent mist]

Huge pain, luck, a lot of time. Go into creative mode then build any corvette, you immediately upgrade to s class and check the ship. If ship is no good or could be better, sell to npc and scrap the ship you engine from the exchange. I have a perfect 4 tech charge slot together now but it took 2 nights in a row for me to finally find this one. A lot of l of luck

[buoyant kiln]

Ships with comically large thrusters compared to the main body look peak

[wraith quiver]

lol show us one

[fervent mist]

Btw, upgrading ships is free in creative mode and then you switch back to custom or whatever. Honestly the grind of making your own with what you found is fun too though. I still love my other two that are in the low 2000’s

[wraith quiver]

Yeah im usually at work from home so when i build its in creative. plus with people losing theirprogress n stuff id hate to bump into that issue after grinding

[hardy oracle]

I certainly won't condemn anyone for using creative, but I find it satisfying to make my own. That said, I was already unreasonably wealthy by the time the corvettes were released so I totally get wanting to skip the grind for nanites and such

[buoyant kiln]

Welp, it was there moments ago... Dude that had it flew away before i could take pics 😭

[lone ore]

you can get kinda close, but yes, you're limited in that you need a small hab, a reactor, a landing bay. Even using glitches, you can get smaller but then you run into challenges like "how do I get in the ship when all my access points are now blocked?"

[wraith quiver]

yeah i was rich on my main save, but i started a new save with this update to play creative and think of ideas. but now i havent stopped because im addicted to building

[spiral prism]

It’s a drone now

[fervent mist]

Same, I have the 4.2 billion cap and everything. White squid ship, expedition ship, so just wanted to skip the grind and enjoy my mobile space home

[old quiver]

Has anyone noticed that the their corvette landing bay opens when warping or this just me? lol

[lone ore]

It's not just you

[spiral prism]

It happens to me too

[hardy oracle]

Sometimes! It hasn't done so since I put the bay up front, but I saw it a bunch of times before then

[fervent mist]

Oh yeah, the giant kinero whatever thruster will block you from getting in the ship if too close to the landing bay

[wicked shell]

Im cooking up a VERY small maxxed out corvette rn. I figured out how to get two half offsets so I can have my directional offset and my landing gear as I wanted them. We are winning today. New ship gonna be tiny.

[fervent mist]

Btw, what do you all think of the next update being the submarine. Building same kind like in subnautica. Huge with fish tanks and fish you caught, refiner, same as corvette. Customizable and can make it look like an underwater fighter or giant kosatka. Have to find the salvaged parts on the bottom of ocean planets

[old quiver]

I'm glad it's not just me because whenever I warp I tend to look at look at my phone and I'm like "did I leave that open?"

[wraith quiver]

i just hope they dont forget to add shuttles to the starship builder lol hoping corvettes didnt just blow them out of the water

[buoyant kiln]

Huh?!?!!?!?? 😭

[wraith quiver]

LOL

[wraith quiver]

cant wait to see 👀

[buoyant kiln]

I just changed my sentinel to corvette vro 😭

[south panther]

idek how im supposed to build my corvette

allat looks complicated etc

[hardy oracle]

Just slap one piece on at a time, doesn't have to be perfect from the start. 🙂

[south panther]

yeahh but its supposed to look good yk

[hardy oracle]

I think it's pretty safe to say that we all started with ugly box corvettes and worked our way up

[wraith quiver]

takes time man and it can be overwhelming tbh but just keep at it.

[south panther]

😭

[wraith quiver]

see thats a good foundation though

jus tthrow stuff on see what you like and itll come to you bud

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

[hardy oracle]

Maybe try something smaller to start with? You really only need 1 hab, anything else should be an aesthetic choice

[south panther]

what about the terminals inside tho

i mean i only have 100mil to spend rn

and idek where i get the good parts from

[hardy oracle]

Refining, mission, kitchen and maybe a storage? That's four slots, which is what you get from a single hab.

[south panther]

cuz trading them seems off

[hardy oracle]

You get parts mainly by doing bombing runs on salvage planets

[neon bay]

Salvage them from planets with a basic corvette build, it's super easy to build up a huge library of parts in very little time

[south panther]

bombing runs?

[south panther]

what systems r salvage planets in?

[buoyant kiln]

Doing something that big as a first try isn't always working good, something smaller like this would be pretty good for a start

[neon bay]

They're all over the place, just scan planets and look for the "salvageable scrap" tag

[random cliff]

time to farm again

[hardy oracle]

Equip a cyclotron ballista (photon cannon works too, but less well) on a corvette and just go to a planet with salvage (you can see it listed by looking at planets from space) and a reasonably flat surface. You don't ever have to get out of the ship. Just stand up, scan and mark the next salvage, fly over and blast it and repeat. Hotkey getting out of the seat without landing, and go into first person to remove animations too.

[south panther]

is that 1 or 2 hubs

[random cliff]

time to make a lil corvette brother

[buoyant kiln]

1 hub

[wraith quiver]

hell you can even use a walkway

[south panther]

yeahh but u cant buy them

and i got nothing to trade
