[wicked dagger]

So the tank / mech is coming along - I gave up on the sparkplugs ...

[wicked dagger]

I am going to build up some wings / arms / weapon mounts but for now which of these are better for the track covers?

in the garage the red ones are really black with a touch of red but here they glow too much

[long pawn]

@harsh violet Good news! That ornament allows you to clip/offset.

[harsh violet]

thats something

[wicked dagger]

Ha !!! .... Stepping UP 🔼

Step ladder to access high level rear hatch

[stark crane]

so many cool ships, that cant be flown in first person :C

[wicked dagger]

I build all mine in survival - so have collected the parts and also I always make them functional

I loaded all my slots before starting ... and will S Class her in a bit

[stark crane]

I mean how all the crazy detailed ships hide the cockpit

[wicked dagger]

Ah yes - I always fly first person - hate it outside teh ship

[stark crane]

3rd person on foot, 1st in the ships

[wicked dagger]

Yep - tahts it .... but need to be firsat person to build these corvettes

[wraith quiver]

is everyone filling up all their slots to avoid their modules randomizing or something?

[wicked shell]

What does your ship look like?

[final onyx]

@wicked dagger i took off the wings engines they looked ugly with smaller wings

[wicked dagger]

have a couple - Working on this at the moment

But this is my best one from a performance point of view

[wicked shell]

dang its like a tank! Sick!

[final onyx]

noway my brain would figure out how to make that

[wicked dagger]

Inspiration was from this (Credit Mitchell Stuart)

doing tracks is SUPER HARD ... so gave up and did Cogs

[final onyx]

what are those treads ? how did you get them ?

[wicked dagger]

They are 4 sets of Cogs - The cogs I think came from Quicksilver

[elder iron]

Actually I think theyre from the construction decorations

[final onyx]

siick

[wicked dagger]

Ta - I tried with Cogs for a while ... but that was hard to line up

Back in 5

[wicked dagger]

Thanks - you are probably right

[final onyx]

yeah its cooked, i hope they develop the ship building system further

inspired by a batmobile

[wicked dagger]

Nice .... saw one the other day as well - All black

[mild stratus]

@wraith quiver yo grief do you think I should try hide my cockpit or keep it visible

[wraith quiver]

damn thats real tough to call tbh

cos i love when that cockpit is done right to make it work, and it WORKS here very well. but im also a sucker for the pointed nose style

[wicked dagger]

I think leave it visible but put another wing / faring on the side ... so its kinda inset

[wraith quiver]

i tall ya what that white looks damn good idk how i cant ever get white to look that good. i wanted mine to be grey but it looked too plain

[mild stratus]

I might try that i just don't want the front to be too bulky but I dunno what to change to make the ship look cooler and I cba adding another room 😂

[wraith quiver]

i wouldnt change much of anything tbh lol

[mild stratus]

The black and white is one of the only colours I like the look off and I think it really works with this ship i wanted to give it tusks but I dunno if I like it 😂

On this ship atleast

[wraith quiver]

your ships look so sleek but tanky at the same time idk how to explain it

works though i love it

right

i think some people go to their base and then do it there but idk

[long pawn]

Nope. I just play Chinese number puzzle each time.

[mild stratus]

Ship with tusks lol

[long pawn]

I agree. I hope it's something NMS addresses soon.

[stark crane]

corvette company

[ancient holly]

parts not saving colour when fully applying to corvette and finalising modification??

[wraith quiver]

known bugg

[ancient holly]

ah well

[wicked dagger]

Hi ... When you first make a new build then just put the minimum in .... 1Hab; 1 Engine, 1 Weapon; 1 Entry and use teh T Bird thruster as this is booster and landing pas combined

Then fill up ALL teh slots with as many upgrades as you can ... then when you add new parts it will add in new slots

[buoyant orchid]

Cool, what's this from?

[wraith quiver]

yeah i love that build too

[uncut dagger]

What's the minimum amount of each crop to grow to get use out of them? I'm trying to streamline my design the farming section was a bit too ambitious I can't put any decorative bits on the ship I had to fudge it from the inside with windows

[severe parrot]

I have the SAME crab on my corvette lmao

[scarlet isle]

How do I get the big animals on my shop

*ship

[wraith quiver]

wonder projectors

[dense osprey]

Experimenting with micro builds. A ship with 2 refiners, a storage, and a mission board that isn't just a single hab

[wraith quiver]

damn and i just told myself not to give myself anymore projects lol

[blissful abyss]

hmmm

[dense osprey]

This also has 5 reactors, so there ya go

[blissful abyss]

my corvette sticks me outside of the nexus sometimes, and then i can just fly around in there

which is.. interesting

[dense osprey]

Here is the stat block, without any extra mods

In case anyone wants a challenge

[wraith quiver]

might take a break on my main ship and make a little one

[dense osprey]

I find that buildign small has more advantages

[wicked shell]

I finally got it to look good too!

[wicked dagger]

Yes you did!!

Right anyway ---- I am off to bed ... anyone care to say which set of tracks they like better ??? -

[limpid karma]

i made tracks before

[wicked dagger]

Nice ... I love the digger theme

[runic bluff]

Good lawd

[rare saddle]

Thoughts? Tried another original design

[hardy harbor]

I still have impression that they have removed several parts from each set of parts so there are no matching ones. Lik, some parts simply don't have covers for sides,

[hardy harbor]

Wait, did I saw that in Anomaly today? t had some complex wings which didn't fit in pic?

[runic bluff]

Naw, I wasn't in the anomaly today

[balmy cedar]

I found a small galaxy-map like thing.

Now my Normandy bridge is complete

[sage wolf]

so it seems like the better approach to trying to get aligned super charged slots on a corvette is to just keep trying different designs in one space station with as minimal parts as posssible, rather than checking different stations

unfortunately finalizing a ship, and therefore allowing you to upgrade it and check the class, automatically drops a restore point. You can upgrade it to S class without it saving and then reload the last restore point to where it was C class, but it's too difficult to get a save that stays from before you actually finalized the ship.

[solar oasis]

So watched that video and a few other and it isn’t exactly what I was talking about but useful nonetheless

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/s/MxB66YZdWI

I want to achieve something like this with specific parts placed vertical

[sage wolf]

So here's my suggestion:

1. get enough nanites to upgrade a single ship from C class to S class in one go
2. buy a shit load of basic parts; money is easy to make if you don't want to turn on free purchases
3. backup your save manually if you can just to be safe in case you mess up
4. find a random space station
5. start a new corvette; build one that uses as few parts as possible to a point where it's easy to remember the design (or take a picture)
6. finalize the ship and upgrade it to S class
7. if you don't like the super charged slots, reload your last restore point and start at point 5 again, being careful not to accidentally redo the any previously used designs

there's no way to get a refund on parts using this method, so either enable free purchases or just buy tons of parts

editing a ship won't change it's SC slots; those are only determined when you finalize the design

my current theory, based on actual testing, is that the SC slots are determined by BOTH the space station and the parts you use, but it's easier to just change the parts over and over again as opposed to the space station. I think if you get a good layout, you can save that station (the glyphs) and a screenshot of the ship and reuse it, because editing a ship after it's finalized won't change the sc slots

This is an example of a very simple design using only basic parts to test with. I can confirm that moving any part will change the sc slots, but only on the first time you click finalize. If you click finalize, and then go back to editing without finalizing, moving the parts again won't change the sc slots; it's literally the first finaizliation click that seems to do it, but I'm still researching

but even if moving the parts again did change it, you'd still have to finish it and claim it to then upgrade it to check the other slots (and then after you do that, the sc slots are final)

[icy kraken]

People are so creative with their ships, and here I am with no clue what kinda daily ship design I wanna make, oof

[sage wolf]

also if you're going purely for a fully 4 connected slot lineup, you can save time but just upgrading it to B class because if the first two slots don't align, then there's no point in checking any further

[icy kraken]

All I know is, design wise, I want to make a modified industrial ship that looks like It's been turned into the home of a space nomad/bounty hunter

[smoky dawn]

One moment I’m octahere, then in the blink of an eye I’m octagon

Been like a week and I still really like this ship

[pure holly]

How do people make such cool corvettes bro

[smoky dawn]

Just by messing around until something works

(And with a few glitches)

[pure holly]

But like

How do they get all the parts

I’m so poor

[balmy cedar]

Reminds me of the Ebon Hawk

[balmy cedar]

Time

Too much time...

Or Creative mode

[thorny fiber]

Or set crafting to free

[icy kraken]

I like creative mode tbh for ship building

Question,
what do y'all think of my mining ship?

[half oasis]

Got bored and looked up this design, I did change it slightly but overall copy paste of someone elses

[glass cloak]

Folks, how would any of you make a corvette that resembles the things you'd see in Mass Effect? I'm not talking about the Normandy or any of the turian or asari or quarian boats. Straight up Systems Alliance stuff.

[cursive lark]

Nice unsc frigate

[half oasis]

I named it Forward onto Dawn, wish we could have letters too so I could put its whole tag on the ship

[quick gyro]

Not the best looking tank but, hey it's a tank 😌

[runic bluff]

I know there's probably a million others out there like this, but how does this look

Tried to go for an "Experimental Interdictor" look

[gentle turtle]

Corvette update as a whole...

Knocked it out of the park, never had so much fun in this game, I spend most of my time in the space station fiddling with my corvette or hunting for more parts, rarely see such a large drastic addition to a game and have it meld in smoothly

This game deserves all the accolades it gets and more.

[autumn ridge]

how do u even begin building a corvette just got back after a couple months

[runic bluff]

There are Corvette Assembly stations aboard every space station

Interacting with one will start a short tutorial questline that will give you bare basics

[stark crane]

anyone know the american picker phone number?

[indigo kettle]

what's this window glitch i've heard about for angling corvette parts

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

[runic bluff]

You build the windows without using the corvette terminal so you can un-snap them from the grid, then you can mount habs to the angled windows. Be advised, it may cause game instability.

[small plaza]

I'm gonna give nms a big wide berth until I see a couple updates improving the corvettes

[runic bluff]

I loved the game even in release state, I can put up with the current Corvette limitations

[solar oasis]

I can relate, was upsetting when my corvette completely disappeared on me tho but alas I’m back building a new one

[runic bluff]

I had that happen to me too

[sharp slate]

They really need to add some better stairs for the corvettes

[slate ether]

Hi, does anyone know why all my photos of my corvettes look hella dark

[solar oasis]

If you’re in space or on a planet you can reorient the sun

[slate ether]

Yeah but even when I do that the ship itself stays dark

[solar oasis]

I really wish the teleport receiver worked on the corvette or we could use the base ladder

[slate ether]

like here the sun is behind my camera

[solar oasis]

graphics bug looks like

[wraith quiver]

you can move the sun

[slate ether]

But the ship is still too dark to make out most details

Ye I moved it behind the camera pov so the ship would be illuminated

well ideally

[wraith quiver]

oh damn thats weird relog

[solar oasis]

Have you closed the game and relaunched it to see if it fixes it?

[slate ether]

Yeah it happens every time I try taking pics

Its unfortunate cuz my ship is white lmfao

[solar oasis]

Do you have a filter enabled in camera mode?

[slate ether]

nope

Thats without a filter

[solar oasis]

Weird, what system are you on?

[slate ether]

I'm on an old ahh nitro 5 lmao

[solar oasis]

Are your graphics drivers updated?

[slate ether]

Uh

Ngl I'm not sure

[solar oasis]

Google how to update your graphics drivers for your specific PC.

If you’re on windows I think the shortcut is “Windows + M”? Tho I could be wrong

[slate ether]

Ah bet bet I'll check on that

thank you

[solar oasis]

You’d need to find the “Device manager” on your computer settings and then find your specific integrated graphics card and check for updates on it

[slate ether]

Oh yeah it says It already is

[solar oasis]

Hm not sure then

You could ask in #nms-questions

[runic bluff]

The pitfalls of building with offsets

Unusable habs

I would just replace the habs with reinforced hull but vent decor don't play nice with hulls, only habs

@wraith quiver

An awful secret about this build... it's 99 pieces.

[solar oasis]

Love the blue lights on the black

[runic bluff]

Thank, the generator glow can't be modified

[solar oasis]

Wish it could

[runic bluff]

Same...

[tidal thunder]

has the technology getting moved around for no reason been fixed? i didnt see anything in the patch notes recently about it

[wraith quiver]

thats wild mine is at 99 as well. earlier it was 100 but i removed two shields and placed a lil antennae

[wheat steppe]

Can I not aquire a sentinal ship in this mode?

[solar oasis]

You can acquire a sentinel ship in any mode

[wheat steppe]

i put the harmonic brain in it, but I can not get in it. I also hit compare and it says that I can not get it right now

[fervent mist]

My corvette has office chill space, guest bedroom with nip nip, botanical garden and mediood, and 4 crew berths. 3500 maneuverability and 2206 hyperdrive now. I have space snacks and meals too. We can do quick silver missions in luxury. Corvette can be fun

[hexed prism]

hey y'all I have a question about offset building, I'm looking for tutorials on youtube and none of them have any instructions for moving pieces a half a block left or right. Is there any way to do that?
You can do it with turrets and cowling, deleting said cowling, and attaching pieces to the turrets. but this also moves these pieces a wee bit up or down. Which I don't really want.

[solar oasis]

Hm not sure, as far is I know it’s gonna move it slightly up or slightly down. You could also try the free placement of windows glitch

[runic bluff]

Use an "exterior decoration" (ducting outlet, etc) to shift half a unit plus forward/back, then use the "rockhopper propeller module" to correct the back/forward offset

A video could probably better illustrate what I'm trying to explain

[south mica]

you use pavers and small walls i think, but yeah a video of someone doing it helps a lot.

[kind glacier]

soon after launch, i saw some sick pirate ship design with sails and arma coming out of the hull. anyone has some pictures of those? i can't find them anymore

[tidal thunder]

you cant acquire ANY ships in the expedition mode just the corvette

[wheat steppe]

Alright thaks for letting me know

[tidal thunder]

your welcome, after you complete the tasks it will turn into a regular save so presumable after that point youd be able to keep any ships you find

[topaz hazel]

being a space pirate is honest work 😅

[civic cedar]

Is it possible to get the stats of the corvette as good as a decent S class exotic? It's always going to be more difficult to land on rough terrain I guess

[kind glacier]

if I may, here is a suggestion. remove this part and replace it with a hatch. this way you will have a big "door" that will open onto the bridge so you can walk on it 🙂

[topaz hazel]

Lol I love that because I did that right after these pictures and before I hopped off for the night there's been a few changes haha

I'll post pictures tomorrow after I'm done dealing with some BS

[kind glacier]

i also working on a ship and i'm using quite a lot of hatches. it opens up so much stuff. can't wait to get home tonight and start tinkering with it. i just started last night and tried a few stuff to see if they would work and they did

only... 6 more hours 'til i'm done with work

[gentle turtle]

If you're still in the expedition mode it won't let you obtain regular ships

Just close off the expedition after you're done and you'll be able to get ships again on that save.

[wet warren]

how do I prevent the bug that causes corvettes to not have any parts displayed in tech slots?
it IS the bug I see in the list but I get that bug right when I build the ship and reloading doesn't fix it
I've now built 3 corvettes (expedition save + 2 on normal) with as many varied parts as possible, yet all of their tech slots look like any other legacy ship - thrusters, habs etc, none of it shows in tech slots even if it's on the ship itself; this is regardless of how I build the ship or whether it starts as barebones as possible and then gets parts added
tried building more ships like I said - doesn't work, multiplayer disabled - no change, reloaded restore points, tried different space stations, waited for a patch, still bugged
I can't progress expedition milestones because added habs don't increase the counter (yet maneuverability parts somehow do count in their respective milestone) and building a new ship doesn't do anything because those new ships are still bugged
is anyone able to tell me what do I have to do to fix this annoying fucking bug?

[south mica]

now that is a cool ship!!

well, you can remove anchors after you've done. Connection check doesn't use snap points, it seems using collision shell

But if an outer block clips into hub.. yeah

Don't I can't type today

[hardy harbor]

for some reason I can't find the "build everywhere" mod everyone uses on Nexus. Did they dumped it?

[kind glacier]

build everywhere? don't know. i only use 3 mods. the one that adds all the Corvette parts to the shop, the lower prices and the no cap limit to corvettes

[jaunty mural]

How would that work in multiplayer

Do people just get bombed by the amount of props on a ship

[kind glacier]

some people do. mine is not that big so it's no really a problem for others. before scraping it i think i had around 200 Corvette pieces

the thing is, you can bomb people's pc even without the mod by placing a shit ton of decorations. no mod needed for that

[sturdy basin]

Is it possible to glitch build functional teleporter on a corvette somehow?

[jaunty mural]

You mean local or Interstellar portal

Cause local teleporter just works

[sturdy basin]

The interstellar one

[abstract crow]

Need a mod I'm pretty sure

[sturdy basin]

Wasn't sure how to polish the front part, might take bit of an inspiration from you

[hardy harbor]

Is there a part that fits between speedbird nacelles or vesper diffosors? Speedbird cowling isn't seamless fit for the latter. Feels od that there is a part which fits between thermal grille caps (speedbird fairing) but not between these

[sick kite]

is it somehow possible to build a second cockpit?

[hardy harbor]

nah, just bays

[arctic bough]

new thing, still tryna figure out a name for it

meant to prioritize maneuverability and comfort over my other corvette's utility

[hardy harbor]

I'd call her Dart 😛

There was British Flower-class corvette named that. these were fast sub hunter\patrol\convoy corvettes

[arctic bough]

my current naming scheme are song titles. The other one's called "Big Iron"

[hardy harbor]

I used that in SF. OR joking names like first chaotic "all-included" ship was "Ugly bastard"

[arctic bough]

sf?

[hardy harbor]

Bethesda's game 😛

I prefer traditional naval ship names or references by association

[hardy harbor]

Out of songs, you say.. Highwayman. (also after HMS Dark Highwayman, fast patrol ship if you go historic)

[arctic bough]

damn, the royal navy had some kickass names for their ships huh

[hardy harbor]

Well, the very term Dreadnaught was ship's name, lol

[arctic bough]

yea that I know

the generated name is funny

[hardy harbor]

Oddly enough USA had naming scheme after locations or conceptss. Germany and USSR used people names quite often. Japan used fictional creatues. Like IJN Taihou (Firebird)

[arctic bough]

most nations used names to at least some extent

[balmy cloud]

Oh man that’s sexy

How did you get all those parts to build? Literally just reinstalled

[hardy harbor]

That's without offset--building?

[sturdy basin]

Fastest way is to hunt for buried modules imho

[balmy cloud]

Tell me more, it’s been years and I’m trying go figure out how to NMS again

[sturdy basin]

What's offset building? This is on PS5 without glitch building

[quasi lichen]

NMS is now a Horror Game, someone made the Prometheus Alien Starship

it was a mini version tho

[sturdy basin]

It's a big pokemon simulator 😄

[hardy harbor]

It's not really a glitch, just.. you know some parts stick to hubs when you move hub around them. Like ducting. In result hub appears ofsetted by 1/2 or 1/4 of section. Then you can snap stuff toit and remove hub itself

[arctic bough]

alright, so the fastest way to grind the parts in my experience:

• get money for a very basic corvette, doesn't have to be much but it's the best ship for the job
• you look for a planet with salvage parts
• you get out of the pilot seat, use the scanner to find the nearest buried salvage
• you fly near it and shoot it while in the ship, usually the AoE of the ship attacks is enough to destroy the parts and add them to your inventory

no need to get out of the ship or get onto the ground, just fly around and shoot dirt where you have to

[quasi lichen]

wrong chat, whoops

[hexed prism]

Y'all, is she worthy? Or doomed for the scrap yards to make room for a superior ship?
-# (That hab wasn't miscolored when I finalized it)

[sturdy basin]

Yeah, for sure part of the building

[arctic bough]

all ships are worth it - if it flies, it can serve

[hexed prism]

She takes up half the screen in third person oh god

[hardy harbor]

well, building glitches like applying scaling on whatyou can't scale, camera glitch, etc. are literally reults of bad code, do not work consistently and may be proken at any time. Here it eappears as a strict rule which prevents ophaneing decorative details if they get stuck inside of other objects. Just unusual consequence for partss which have fraction size and can be orineted in multiple ways, It appears like it was left that way deliberately.

[balmy cloud]

Just wondering, why a corvette and not a ship I already outfitted? How do I check if a planet has salvages? It’s been a long ass time, you can tell haha

[sturdy basin]

You can scan for the salvage parts from corvette

[balmy cloud]

!

[hardy harbor]

Corvette is new mechanics of current expedition. It's starfield-like flying "home"

[balmy cloud]

Only from a corvette?

Ooh cool!

[arctic bough]

corvettes have the gimmick of having an interior, you can exit the pilot seat and walk around inside without having to land or get out of the ship

[balmy cloud]

Guess I’ll have to buy the basic vanilla corvette then

[arctic bough]

you don't really buy the corvettes, you buy parts and then make your own

so even the "basic vanilla corvette" can be your full design

[balmy cloud]

If anyone is up for showing me around the game again sometimes, feel free to add me to your friendliest. I’m clueless mostly hah

[hardy harbor]

with corvette that's easier. You can stand from chair, scan, sit down. Still have no idea why we don't have more selective scans for ships. Like, multitool scanner looks more powerful than starship instruments.

[balmy cloud]

Thanks @arctic bough will dive into it

[arctic bough]

these are the planets with salvageable scrap, they have it written on them when you scan from space

[balmy cloud]

I had no idea hah

[hardy harbor]

That's feature older than corvette.. these used to drop starship parts before. Like reactors, etc.

[sturdy basin]

At least regarding bases anything placed was more or less stored properly, not matter resizing / rotating.. And the devs actually embraced glitch building and even fixed issues along the road to make them consistent and functional.

For the corvettes I am building so far 'clean', meaning the ofset building at max, to see where I can push it there. But soon-ish I will dig into glitch building anyway, cause you can create way more cool stuff (it's just painful and tedious, especially on console)

[arctic bough]

when on the planet, you wanna get out of the pilot seat and look for these yellow icons - those are the parts you want to get

[balmy cloud]

Sounds great

[hardy harbor]

It's stored as long as scheme of data is standard. And scheme of data matches what game can represent - thta's how saves made here. But proecess of using interface? These may work differently (e,g. camera glitch doesn't work on my PC) because it's result of incorrect interaction of asynchronous procedures. Undefined behaviour in code

Building tilted parts on corvette is result of glitch in UI. OFfset building - no glithc, a feature 😛

[sturdy basin]

Not familiar with camera glitch, but... Once actor is placed within a world (build) it's serialized onto the safe and thus persistent, no matter if it is regular snap or tilted part resulting from glitch building due to input async. Or am I mistaken here?

[arctic bough]

got a proper name now

[hardy harbor]

Yeah, can't be shared with server if a game mod didn't alter it. But otherwise they seem using even some standard library for that (msgpack maybe?) because we have save editor. I didn't look in save editor code, here should be answers to that

Found this corvette and coffee post for this sunday if anyone also interested

One message removed from a suspended account.

[arctic bough]

yea, kinda funny considering it's a space game

[arctic bough]

ngl I do believe there will be more stuff to do with the corvettes added in the following updates. This is such a big leap for the game i'd be surprised if they didn't cash in on the additional stuff to do with it

[golden sonnet]

So does legacy starships not exist anymore?

[fringe stag]

they do

[golden sonnet]

But how do the upgrade module system work on corvettes?

[hoary agate]

Same as on ships

[fringe stag]

upgrading Corvettes is the same as legacy ships

same place, same process

[golden sonnet]

So you either upgrade the corvette ship like more parts to upgrade stats or you add modules, okay that's actually realistic and neat

also can corvettes be found in the wild like crash sites or do you have to make one

[kind glacier]

you have to make one

you can find parts for the corvettes in the wild though

quick question since i'm at work. can the weapons be rotated? i can't remember exactly

if not, has anyone tried placing them on habs that are rotated to 90° ?

[hardy harbor]

Thoughts on this chonk?

[hardy harbor]

they can snap to nacelle parts too

[small plaza]

Nah I mean stuff like more parts and fixes

[weak locust]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[kind glacier]

nacelle?

[granite lion]

I keep getting told to land on the derelict freighter but I can’t figure out where this derelict freighter is

[kind glacier]

how do we get the ballast tank and the rest of the grayed out parts? i saw some ship with these pieces on them

[sage wolf]

I think they're bugged and don't drop. I think you have to turn on free purchases

[kind glacier]

i have the mod that adds all of them to the corvette shop but they are not in there

[sage wolf]

Bugged

i have a hard time designing a small corvette that has all the function (refiner, mission board etc)

[wraith quiver]

that actually sounds real dope

[hallow schooner]

Does anyone know of any corvette parts which are invisible from the inside? working on a design where it'd be best if I can hide a cockpit inside a different block, but still have first person view possible. have been able to get one inside a cowling but couldn't see out through it

[nocturne compass]

I built an A-10 thunderbolt

[abstract tulip]

But how does one scrap one

[nimble stirrup]

you cannot scrap a Corvette

[kind glacier]

huh. turns out the top part right above the lift on the Thunderbird-Class Landing Bay is not solid and you just fall right through it

i was walking on top of my ship to get back to the corvette building when i fell down

[wraith quiver]

makes the lift into a good elevator from a clip ive seen

[wraith quiver]

you cant scrap a corvette.

If youre trying to get rid of it to free a slot and not get any parts back, you can trade it to an npc for their starship and then scrap the starship

[abstract tulip]

Alright thanks

[hardy harbor]

glass cuboid?

observation bubble but it kinda small

[wraith quiver]

a lot of us who hid the cockpit just had to sacrifice first person flight

[kind glacier]

just free place the glass in front of it

[hallow schooner]

ended up going for this, it blends in kinda as a 'bridge' 😛

[wraith quiver]

i never understand what people mean by bridge when they say it lol but it looks nice man

[idle ore]

In the context of a spaceship, the bridge is the central command and control center from which the vessel is navigated, maneuvered, and operated. This room, analogous to a ship's "nerve center," typically houses senior officers and provides the essential equipment for commanding the ship.

[wraith quiver]

Neat

[idle ore]

its usually used for the "standoing above" glass hall in the back 🙂

like on a real ship

[wraith quiver]

so my bridge is real thicc then. guess thats the main thing i was working on in my ship lmfao

oh well that confused me wtf is a glass hall

i might have one of those too

[idle ore]

this type of sht

[wraith quiver]

OHHH wow ok yeah that ive seen mentioned as a bridge on naval ships

[wraith quiver]

that makes complete sense now

you a G for that

[idle ore]

it fits on laaaaarge vessel, but a corvette is not large in terms of spacecrafts haha, thats why i displike bridge designs 🙂

[wraith quiver]

yeah i guess thats why it wasnt translating for me when i see it with corvettes. bridge on an actual ship made more sense to me because it was a long room you could walk through, and things below were separated.

guess i took the terminoligy too literally

[idle ore]

i mean a spaceship is basically a ship in space, often uses same terms for stuff

but NMS isnt a simulation, thats why everythign is a little washedout and you can do what youz want haha

[wraith quiver]

oh definitely it does. but i guess it wouldve been easier to compare the two if it was like someone building a freighter.

i hope they do add like a double or triple wide "cockpit" to fit that description better

[hallow schooner]

there's one or two datamined from the game files! so hopefully those come out eventually

I wouldn't be surprised if they do a big 'Corvettes part 2' update in future, given how much this one's surged their popularity

[wraith quiver]

im sure theyve got A LOT in store for us with the feedback that theyve already got

[stone sinew]

While it's true you can't scrap a Corvette, if you're just planning on making another Corvette just dismantle and rebuild your current one. Unless you really need that empty slot in which case I'd use @wraith quiver's method.

[idle ore]

im PRETTY SURE legcay ships will die out at some point 🙂

[wraith quiver]

i hope they at least add shuttles to the ship fabricator before then

shuttles never got enough love imo lol

[stone sinew]

Given the way Corvette ships are? I wouldn't be surprised. Still, I like the legacy ships for the novelty. 🙂

[idle ore]

i mean, thats like 2 years forward, currentlx the game has mor ebusg then features, and every feature is mildy mid added...
but it has alot of potential to become large

[gloomy nebula]

I think I have enough parts to build whatever I like. I think.

[wraith quiver]

i think the only way legacy ships will be able to compete is if they made making them as modular as the corvettes which i doubt theyd do

[idle ore]

they kinda are, cuz you can build your legacy ships yourself haha

[gloomy nebula]

I am planning to rebuild my current corvette and I want to try giving it a kind of double-hulled structure like a catamaran

[wraith quiver]

i mean "building wings" instead of "choosing wings" though.

[idle ore]

true

but how would that work, with the awful state the buildmod eis in haha

[wraith quiver]

oh yeah i know they wouldnt do that

because im pretty sure those parts are coded as "one part"

plus making THOSE ships as modular probably wouldnt work with them being kinda randomly generated

[stone sinew]

I hope they include sentinel and Royal ships to be fabricated eventually. I could see needing to go to a deviated area to make a brand new sentinel ship at least.

[wraith quiver]

could imagine the atrocities that would be created from randomly generated corvettes spawning in the wild lol

[idle ore]

make corvette 50% slower, and less maneuverable, as they are larger, and let fighter/legacy ships be nimble as hell...

[wraith quiver]

thad be the simple way to make sure they dont die lol

but theres also losers like me out there who just took "corvette" and just made a big fighter

[mild stratus]

Nah let legacy ships die if it means making corvettes slower i didn't spend hours perfectly placing parts and reactors, rolling multiple corvettes for good sc slots and rolling xclass upgrades just for them to be made slower

[idle ore]

it depends on what path nms want to go...
if it wants go go crazy, le tit be a sit is
if it wants to be "more realistic" or balanced, then corvettes are larger, are slower and are more powerfull...

[hardy oracle]

Why do you think realistic means that something big is slow? That sounds like movie logic, not realism

In real life, bigger rockets are faster, not slower.

[mild stratus]

Then you will kill corvettes unless hg let's us make them into actually bases with the npcs and again people spend hours even days trying to min max there corvettes imagine waking up one day and the ship you worked your ass off on is slow af just so ships that aren't that hard to get don't die

[wraith quiver]

yeah something has to die lmfao

but honestly it really all comes down to preference

[idle ore]

i was speaking about manueverability, ofcause a larger rocket propulsion is large rhtan a smalle rone haha

and yes, i HATE film physics

[wraith quiver]

because at the end of the day i like flying what i created. knowing its very unlikely that anyone else has that same build

[mild stratus]

Let's be real most ships apart from expedition ships and sentinels have been dead for along time

[wraith quiver]

yeah i hadnt changed starships in so long before this update

now i spend more time building than anything at all

[mild stratus]

Like hell i remember when seeing exotics was rare i saw one at my settlement the other day and was like....oh.i forgot about those

Hg should just do what they did with the corvettes and let us make unique haluers fighters etc better than the current basic ship building

[wraith quiver]

thats exactly what i was saying

but i can imagine thats a shit ton of work

[hardy oracle]

I really don't think HelloGames is going to want to nerf corvettes. Just look at how steam stats looks since they came around:

[wraith quiver]

i feel like its such a double edged sword

like with those stats youd think "why dont we make everything modular"

but i cant imagine how tough thatd be

[mild stratus]

I've literally being wanting corvettes for years if they nerfed them I'd stop playing all together

[idle ore]

NERFS ARE NEVER GOOD, every game with nerfs died...
but we need buufs for stuff, not as good as others...

[wraith quiver]

like we could go further and say the same for exocrafts.

[mild stratus]

Hg needs to improve space and ground combat that's all I wanna see

And give love to exocrafts because there actually useful for ground exploration

[wraith quiver]

yeah ive always wanted to see land pirates n stuff

like multitook shootouts

[idle ore]

yeah, and better nursery, better discovery tab, better lexicons for creatures etc... all weakly introduced

[wraith quiver]

miltitool*

[mild stratus]

I would like to see an actual boat exocraft

[wraith quiver]

the game is so ambitious itd be hard to tap into every detail of such a vast world so like i get it

[idle ore]

i was MASSEVLY DISSAPOINTED, seeing the current boat hahaha

[mild stratus]

I wouldn't even be mad if hg took everything from nms and made nms 2 with better graphics combat etc

[wraith quiver]

yeah heavy on the combat. Especially if they can work in a good melee system

air combat is simple but fun enough IMO. like i said we cant ask for everything and then expect it all to be so detailed

[mild stratus]

Well that's why I'm looking forward to light no fire but ngl imma miss being an autophage

[wraith quiver]

i dig the simplistic style

[twin jay]

Yeah, I would want to see others ship types being popular also

[wraith quiver]

THIS

ill have to be an animal of sorts. im excited to see how that game turns out

[mild stratus]

Yea i don't hate the other ship types I love sentinel ships but I think making them modular also is the way forward

[mild stratus]

I'm just gunna be a badass rabbit lmao

[wraith quiver]

if they have the big floppy rabbit ears that droop down thats what i was going to be

[twin jay]

It would be hard to make small ships modular

[wraith quiver]

that or something with andlers

[twin jay]

Still I want to see combat update, current combat is pretty boring

[wraith quiver]

yeah instead of overhauling the smaller ships to make them more modular, i thnk just tightening up the corvette grid and giving us smaller parts would suffice.

[twin jay]

Yeah

[wraith quiver]

like "half size parts" would be a cool addition. to where you have a cockpit and hallway split down the middle as one piece that counts for hab and cockpit both

[twin jay]

That would be really good

[wraith quiver]

theyve done so much already so im sure theyre gonna deliver some heat

that would bridge the gap between people wanting to make more freighter style ships and those of us who want to make small fighters or landing crafts.

[slender sandal]

I think the Corvettes are great. Definitely more parts needed. That said, the only thing they actually need to nerf is the way that they're loaded between players. Right now they're sending way too much data to synchronize the corvettes between players. The 100 part limit would seem to confirm that. There's gotta be a better way to synchronize these ships on-load.

For example, when I'm approaching a planet that has a complex player structure built on it, I experience virtually no "lag" when that base comes into view. Comparatively, when I'm sitting on the Anomaly and a corvette arrives the entire game seems to freeze momentarily while the corvette loads, regardless how complicated it is.

[rocky ginkgo]

Why would they nerf them? they have hauler stats

[hardy oracle]

I really don't think they will, which is what I said. Why indeed would they nerf them? Why are you asking me this? 🙂

[solar oasis]

Is there a way to add technology slots on a corvette?

[wraith quiver]

same way you do it for a regular starship in the back of the stations

[slender sandal]

Yea, expand the "storage" in the regular starship terminal. Click on the top section to add your slot.

[wraith quiver]

would anyon ebe able to taxi me to essentiam? id black hole out of your area asap lol

[raven rover]

sure

dms

[solar oasis]

Hm I’ll have to look at it again, I have starship storage augments but I didn’t see where I could add technology slots

Figured it was that terminal at the back of the station but when I looked it only gave me the option to upgrade my corvette or add storage slots

[raven rover]

Click the tech slots

Then itll change to upgrading the tech slots

[slender sandal]

Add "storage" and then click the top section where the tech slots are. It'll put the "storage" up there.

[solar oasis]

Sweet thanks

[golden sonnet]

is there like a prewiew version of the corvette builder online or ingame? (like i havnt tested but when building does it take reasources as you build or after you confirm,)and follow up to that can i edit my corvettte after building it?

[slender sandal]

You find/buy parts of the corvette and build it by combing the parts together.

*combining

[solar oasis]

Alternatively create a creative save and “sketch out” new styles there

[golden sonnet]

also i dont own game yet, i did on gmaepass but im waiting for a sale on the game since its 60 dollars where i live 💀

[slender sandal]

And yes, you can go back and edit it at any point in time.

[rocky ginkgo]

cuz you said you dont think they will nerf them, hence why i asked why you tought of that in the 1st place about the nerf thing, like why did it even came to your mind

[wraith quiver]

should scroll up above his comment and read the rest of the conversation lol

[hardy oracle]

It would make a lot more sense for you to reply to the person I replied to then. I already said the same thing as you.

[slender sandal]

Quick example of the Corvette builder... You find/buy/trade parts and then use the parts catalog to assemble your ship. Some parts only fit certain ways, and parts will have their own "snap" points, but you can figure out different ways to get parts to connect so you can get the looks you want.

[solid pond]

Corvettes allow people to build their own, far more realistic fighters, haulers, explorers, etc. Why would they need to change anything? Granted, going out and finding starships or building them seems kind of redundant now.

[hardy oracle]

Corvettes seem almost universally loved, for sure

[slender sandal]

Only thing I'd like to see on Corvettes, and bases for that matter, are storage boxes that are "shared" with your group.

[raven rover]

normal starships are still kinda useful

Smaller, so can be summoned easier

[wraith quiver]

yeah you can make a fighter corvette but theyre still big in comparison to the smaller starships

[slender sandal]

Absolutely... My crew normally flys 1 corvette (mobile base) with 2 escort fighters.

[wraith quiver]

but definitely universally loved because i still love mine

[raven rover]

Not having to walk a mile on the pirate station is nice

[gloomy nebula]

What are these things in the floor of my corvette hab? I did not put them there. They’re just there.

[wraith quiver]

reactor caps i think

[slender sandal]

Tops of the reactors sticking through the floor, by the looks of it

[wraith quiver]

is there a reactor below? the square one?

[raven rover]

clipped thru probably

[slender sandal]

I've learned, through a lot of trial and error, that reactors go on top... haha!

Yep...

[raven rover]

i like how these look

most just hide em away

I kinda like em

[slender sandal]

Absolutely... I love having all the tech just out there in the open. Makes the ship look more real.

[wraith quiver]

i like how this one looks

[raven rover]

Yeppers

[raven rover]

Yeahhh

Ceto reactors 🤤

I rly like em

[slender sandal]

Hehe....

[wraith quiver]

glow glow glow

[gloomy nebula]

Dammit. I may just remove as many reactors as I can and use regular ship mods instead

[long pawn]

Not all. Photon cannons are your jack of all trades weapon. It's decent in all situations. The phase beam heals your shields and does good damage. It's a must have.

[gloomy nebula]

I know which reactors they are. They’re for the hyperdrive

[raven rover]

Id say phase beams is not a must have

Its nice but not must

[raven rover]

Yes

[slender sandal]

I figure the more industrial a ship looks, the more real it looks. Gotta have all those little nooks and crannys and pipes and wires going everywhere.

[raven rover]

Sick thruster layering

[wraith quiver]

thanks so much

[muted mulch]

To me it looks like a weak point that would get targeted

[slender sandal]

Agreed, that's a nice thruster layout.

[slender sandal]

Not everyone is building sleek combat ships... This one is an industrial heavy-hauler.

[long pawn]

For sure! Pew pew pew makes me feel like I'm in an X-wing.

[muted mulch]

Even then you want to protect your core pieces from pirate attacks

[raven rover]

Does not matter

Core pieces are not weakpoints

Its all just deco tbh

And stats

[slender sandal]

Show me a realistic-looking space cargo ship that's got a sleek design with no weak points... Hell, even the Millenium Falcon was covered in surface pipes and open utility holes.

[long pawn]

She's worthy!

[raven rover]

ceto 🤤

imo one of the best pieces to use when trying to add some mechanical feel

[long pawn]

Ha! I'd go out of may to build a ship worthy of the name.

[raven rover]

or some lights

[wraith quiver]

oh damn you did the angle thing that looks so good

[gloomy nebula]

Okay. I need more regular shield mods since I took the deflector shield things off

[raven rover]

thanks, im still experimenting on it

[rocky ginkgo]

On the corvette, the last weapons you place take priority when they fire right? Or its smt else?

[slender sandal]

Now that's a really nice angular design that keeps the realistic industrial look. I gotta figure out how to stack parts like that. I had a few tricks with my cargo hauler, but nothing to that extent. What are the parts you're using for layering the other parts?

[rocky ginkgo]

Ok this doesnt seems to be the case

[raven rover]

humble beginnings lmao

[slender sandal]

Like I believe there are some placement tricks using the Girders, Scaffolds, and Duct/Trim caps... Never figured them out though.

[wraith quiver]

man going through my screenshot gallery lol i see so much progress from blocky builds to what i do now

[raven rover]

Yes, offsetting

[raven rover]

its real easy

[slender sandal]

Yea, haven't really figured out which parts allow what offsets.

[raven rover]

just do that

[wraith quiver]

you really only need one part to do it

[wraith quiver]

man i still dont have that piece. guess its not out for xbox quite yet

[raven rover]

Its out

[wraith quiver]

i knew i shoulda bought this damn game on steam

[raven rover]

You have to trade for it

1 time

[wraith quiver]

ohhh

[raven rover]

For some reason it just wont show up

Even if u have creative on

After you traded for it

Itll show up

[wraith quiver]

well my big ship is maxed out complexity so ill have to build something new eventually

[raven rover]

BUT itll disappear again after you have used it

just dupe the thing tbh

[slender sandal]

Hmmmm.... I'll have to mess with it in creative.

So is it just the Streamlined Trim that you use to offset?

[raven rover]

these 3 works

[slender sandal]

Ahh, ok

[raven rover]

i just like using the streamlined trim'

but if ur using the trims

you have to use a non hab block

[wraith quiver]

well shit i learned somethin

[raven rover]

like these

[rocky ginkgo]

@raven roverHow do i choose which weapons fire visually?

[raven rover]

if u use habs, itll just stick on the side

[wraith quiver]

how many guns are you using?

[raven rover]

i actually dunno, only used 1 type of weapon

[slender sandal]

Right, cause offset habs won't connect... So build your hab core first, then use the trims and hull connectors to get your outside look.

[raven rover]

1

i just use the phase beam for their looks

[rocky ginkgo]

infa knife ?

[raven rover]

I absolutely hate beam weapons

[wraith quiver]

yeahhhhh

[raven rover]

Theres no turret for it so i just installed it in

[wraith quiver]

i cannot stand beam weapons in any game tbh

[raven rover]

Same

I hate using em

[rocky ginkgo]

btw phase beams in the experimental are busted

OP dmg more then infra knife

[raven rover]

But the turrets looks cool

[rocky ginkgo]

cuz they increase how many weapons can fire to 7

[raven rover]

Damage is still the same

[wraith quiver]

you could have the highest fire rate in the world lol long as its not a constant beam idk why it bugs me

[raven rover]

Only 3 counts

[rocky ginkgo]

and since phase beams fire all at the same time a guy reported it did insane dmg due to how coded they are

[raven rover]

Its just visually

[wraith quiver]

yeah adding more weapons visually isnt multiplying the damage by the amount of weapons present

[gloomy nebula]

I may tinker with the ship more and take out certain parts (like reactors) to replace with mods, since mods may add better bang for the buck and I use fewer inventory slots. But sometimes the parts are better. Like the Arcadia Heavy Boosters and Azimuth Class Reactors are really good.

I can’t wait until HG puts in those infra-knife platforms

[wraith quiver]

use both

[modern turret]

hot take:
is anyone else just extremely unimpressed with a particular style of ship that people are building?
like i've seen too many razer crests, too many rounded-hull U shaped ships, too many 'lived in' roaches
give me something cool to look at GAAAAHH

[wraith quiver]

mods have their own cap and parts have their own cap so its ideal to use the most of both if you can fit it in your design

[modern turret]

this is sick btw, one of the closest representations i've seen yet

[pastel ravine]

Hi all, how can I place parts at an angle?

[wraith quiver]

Show some of yours!!

not too much of a hot take tbh i like seeing original creations more than i like seeing remakes but thats just me.

[pastel ravine]

Like this

[twin jay]

Yeah, seing hundreds of milenium falcons and star destroyers annoys me

[raven rover]

Flat diagonal ones are easy

The vertically diagonal ones requires mods

OR

I believe it can be done in vanilla

I just havent tested it yet

@pastel ravine

[wraith quiver]

yeah if you go out of the vette builder and go on foot to place a hab window, you can turn off snapping and place it at an angle, then go back into corvette builder to snap it onto that window and keep that angle..

TOO DAMN TEDIOUS FOR ME THO

[raven rover]

This is how to do the flat angled ones

[pastel ravine]

Yeah diagonal cause I wanna build a good looking wing for my curvette. So it doesn’t look like these roaches that I see haha

[modern turret]

theres a distinguishable difference between taking something someone else does and making your own version, and using the techniques you learn from it to make your own thing

[raven rover]

Tbh, yeah

[rocky ginkgo]

so nobody knows to visually force specific turrets to fire instead of others?

[raven rover]

That gundam one is sick

[raven rover]

see the video that i tagged u

[wraith quiver]

see people using decor to make parts are absolutely insane

[modern turret]

yes i made a Normandy, but i challenge you to find a Normandy with the shape mine has. you wont.
sure im sick of seeing razercrasts and star destroyers, but i really like the ones that are actually good and look like the movie accurate ones.
im just sick of seeing 'lived in' roach ships

[raven rover]

still to date my most complex build

[slender sandal]

Yea... I can't figure out how to make these cargo modules go sideways instead of up/down

[raven rover]

habs

[modern turret]

no offense to leget, the guy who invented the roach ship design. but it's become a trend and i hate it

[raven rover]

lejet

[twin jay]

What is roach ship design?

[modern turret]

see, THIS is what i like, the round hull trick is beautiful when done WELL

[wraith quiver]

yeah i forget what it looks like but ilike his builds

[modern turret]

yeah that

[slender sandal]

I don't have any habs in that spot... Refer to the photo.

[raven rover]

I liked it but yeah

[twin jay]

It’s ugly

[raven rover]

You have to use habs

[raven rover]

its not

[slender sandal]

Dang....

[raven rover]

Or at least

Preferences

[wraith quiver]

oh i dig this one. definitely not my build style but still sick imo

[raven rover]

I think it looks really good

[pastel ravine]

Thank you 🙏. Is there also a way to go past the building limit?

[modern turret]

lejets my boi, but his design enspired so many people to make their own and im scik of seeing them posted then someone goes "look at my new corvette, isnt it great?"

[raven rover]

Mods

[pastel ravine]

Ah I see

[raven rover]

I actually referenced his design too

I really like the cockpit part so i took it

Thats it

[modern turret]

burn in hell

xD

[modern turret]

jk
but i dont mind people taking parts and making their onw thing

[raven rover]

heres my "partly" inspired

[modern turret]

see THATS fucking awesome

[raven rover]

flying grass

[modern turret]

theres a difference between taking ideas and being inspired, and copying them

too many pirate ships, not enough slave-1s

[raven rover]

yeah ive seen too much copies

[wraith quiver]

yeah thats sick

[raven rover]

Ive only seen 1 tbh

The slave 1

Vertical stuff is just real hard to do

[wraith quiver]

idk i feel like my builds are all pretty generic. i just wanted a space jet

i like the clunky mad max lookin ass ships too i just cba to make one

[modern turret]

yeah, i've thought about doing 1, you saw my ships i posted in response earlier, i can do it, but i dont want to. if i was gonna make a slave 1, it would be movie accurate, and i dont want to drag myself through the dirt

nor fall into the very type of ship builder that i dont like

[raven rover]

brotherman

[wraith quiver]

OH thats what i was saying is that people who make ships with decorations need to be stopped. comes out so so good.

[raven rover]

i have 2 supersized space jet thingy too

[modern turret]

even the normandy that i made was the SR1, as far as i've seen, everyone makes the SR23, im the only SR1 online

[wraith quiver]

no but yours are like less.... generic looking

like those are sick

im my own worst critic though

[wraith quiver]

idk something about yours looks so "plated"

[raven rover]

only other normandy that ive seen

[raven rover]

Lemme look at yours

[modern turret]

no.
decorations are fine, making the same roach shaped 20 flags on tp design is bad

[modern turret]

unavoidable, the only pieces that get the shape right have the single texture usage

the game still has limits

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

[wraith quiver]

im wanting to replicate not avoid lol

[raven rover]

I only did 1 replica

[modern turret]

thats the closest ive seen, but it's still an SR2, and still very choppy and rigid in shape

[raven rover]

And i chose the fucking bowie of all things

[wraith quiver]

flying to get pics hangon

[raven rover]

Wanted to pull my hair out trying to build the rings and the shape

Even then i just gave up making it movie accurate and just started to add my own stuff into it

[modern turret]

this needs to happen more though

[wraith quiver]

thats the small one and im gonna grab the big one that just literally looks like a bigger version of this lol

[gloomy nebula]

I reconfigured my corvette. Probably not for the last time.

[modern turret]

too many people making millennium falcons, but the YT-1300 Corellian light freighter has so many potential designs and cool caveats, people can do so much with that shape, yet they always make the falcon

[raven rover]

nah bro thats actually really cool

I like the side thrusters

[modern turret]

are you sharing this, or wish us to discuss it?

[gloomy nebula]

I mean, if you have any observations, please share them.

[modern turret]

#nms-showcase-corvettes

[wraith quiver]

and then this is the main on e here. i make so many jets but they look too "military" and less spacey idk

[raven rover]

I rly like this too

But i havent seen anyone do it

[raven rover]

Lemme see the top

[gloomy nebula]

I am having a hard time finding a good lighting situation to really show off my corvette

[modern turret]

i've only seen 1, and im annoyed at myself for not being the first to make one, as i was going to. at least the 1 i saw was incredible, it was on the big sides, but still great, i'll try and find it

[raven rover]

Dang thats siiicckk

Sleek af

[modern turret]

i am a sucker for scale, nothing irks me more than seeing a venator class cruiser parked next to a troop carrier of the same size.
which is why i try to make ships like drop ships as small as possible

[wraith quiver]

^ this is why i want smaller part

[raven rover]

I just do mine as big as possible

[modern turret]

[gordon ramsey "finally some good fuckin food" gif]

[raven rover]

this megachonker

[wraith quiver]

my goal was to make my largest ship as sleek and roomy inside as possible

while still being jet like

[raven rover]

As for me....

[modern turret]

i do like the work that went into making that feel real with the docking bay picture

good job

[raven rover]

That megachonker only has like 5 habs

[wraith quiver]

dude thats so sick

[raven rover]

thaanks, heres some other pics

[raven rover]

thaankss

[wraith quiver]

Let me say also that seeing so many thrusters normally bugs me. but this. this is gorgeous. all about the placement.

[modern turret]

tripaphobia warning lol

[wraith quiver]

see i want to make something look aggressive but when i try it just looks "messy" lol

[raven rover]

this was the old layout

[modern turret]

i too, enjoy a good photo, people who actually spend time to take goos shots of their ship and not just 'haha look at it go into warp speed haha' pictures

[raven rover]

damn thats siiiickkk

[modern turret]

like when people actually take the time to use the lighting and scenery in the game to take a great shot is the true showcase meta

[wraith quiver]

hardest part about photos for me is finding a damn planet to take them on

[raven rover]

heres my okay'ish photo

[modern turret]

agreed, but it's both rewardsing when you do, and makes it respectable. anyone who actually takes the time to do it has my respect

[modern turret]

💕 fuck yes

[wraith quiver]

this was my old fav shot but as you can see, the quality sucked due to the SS method i used

[raven rover]

water pics

[wraith quiver]

the reflection photos are KEY

[raven rover]

that sun placement is good

[gloomy nebula]

Are you sure you have enough engines there? Are yo0u0 really sure?

[wraith quiver]

i liked the effect of this moon

[raven rover]

I NEED MOOOOOOOOOREEEEEEEEEEEEE

For sure its excessive af but ehhh

[modern turret]

as far as beetle horn / Bifurcated hull ships go, thats one of the nicer ones ive seen

[wraith quiver]

that so works though i dig it

[raven rover]

Thanks, im still experimenting with the front half shape, need to streamline it a bit morr

[wraith quiver]

i kinda like the snub face tbh

[modern turret]

i think that the lack of streamlining is a good thing

[raven rover]

man im having way too much fun with corvettes

[golden radish]

Is there a fix or workaround for the "base out of range" issue when scaling down decos on corvettes?

[modern turret]

ships need a good silhouette. having things too streamline stop it looking like a ship

[wraith quiver]

this is my gripe with my ships right now. they look like planes and not ships.

[raven rover]

Like i wanted that part to be like that

But itll mess up the front view

[rocky ginkgo]

@wraith quiver Do you know how to visually force specific turrets to fire instead of others?

[raven rover]

Walk further

[wraith quiver]

not aside from not having other turrets lol.

[modern turret]

not that im aware of, they set the minimum size for all parts in the game to be marginally bigger than the minumum size they can go, which is rather frustrating

[raven rover]

i'd say your designs are cool but theyre kinda flat

Flat as in pancake

Like you do need to thicken em up a bit more

[wraith quiver]

i do like the flat look but it just needs more aggression idk

[rocky ginkgo]

omg but there has to be some kind of math right?

[raven rover]

Oh agression

[wraith quiver]

aggression would be easier to achieve by thickening though..

[modern turret]

be brave to add more random chunks in places. if it helps. take a screenshot of your ship, past it in a free photo software like pixlr. then make the image faded and manually draw in where fictional engines will be. or do it on paper IRL. it helps give you an idea of what can go where

[raven rover]

i'd say arcadia blades looks real mean

BUT

[wraith quiver]

so i think youre right lol ill have to try that

[raven rover]

The decals and patterns is a bit much

3-4 habs thick is a nice balance

[wraith quiver]

yeah i need to go for it somehow

sometime*

[modern turret]

zycrom and/or grief, do any of you hang out in VC any time? it'd be cool to brainstorn ship ideas together

[raven rover]

I dont sadly, i dont speak english

😔

[wraith quiver]

im usually at work from home but im down when im off sometime

[modern turret]

nms has text chat in-game

[modern turret]

sounds cool

[raven rover]

Yeah i'd probably just hear you guys talking

[modern turret]

i feel like we need to crate some shapes and designs that people dont use often but really should

[raven rover]

Not confident at all with my english speaking skills

[modern turret]

im learning from this discussion channel who actually knows what they're talking about

[wraith quiver]

well you type better english than english natives lol

[raven rover]

do invite pablo gekscobar

Dudes a real great builder too

[golden radish]

My current vette turned out well, i kinda freestyled it but it eventually turned out into the idea of "3 parts welded together"

[raven rover]

https://youtu.be/KEXXVt2kQmI?si=OmNHymadwsAyp1Ne

[raven rover]

Oh yeah thats nicee

[raven rover]

😭 😭 😭

Its full of slangs

I dont know shit about grammar too

Thanks tho

[modern turret]

practice makes perfect, and i dont expect anything from you, dont feel pressured. it would just be fun

[modern turret]

so THATS hwow people are making slanded habs

[raven rover]

left is mine, right is pablo's

[modern turret]

imma try that

[raven rover]

mods

you need mods

[modern turret]

no mods

im pure legit building

the video you posted shows a non-mod technique

[raven rover]

yeah the slanted stuff requires mods

cant rotate it without mods

[modern turret]

i like that iris shape in the middle of the rounded one

[modern turret]

you literally can and im logging on to prove you wrong as we speak

i mean just watch the video you just posted, he literally does it base game

[raven rover]

like vertically?

[modern turret]

yes

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

[raven rover]

huh weird, the option is not there for me

[modern turret]

it's done by free-placing the windows

[wraith quiver]

vertically i dont think we can

[raven rover]

this right?

cant change rotation axis

[modern turret]

yes, that can be done with no mods

just free place the windows, the hologram for placing it will be invisible, but the ability to place it will still be there

once places, you just snap habs to it

[raven rover]

yes you can

but

vertically cant

like this is possible in vanilla

but vertically you cant, since vanilla doesnt allow rotation on all axis

[wraith quiver]

man im still overwhelmed just with the offset trick

[modern turret]

im about to prove this wrong lol
not only that but the video you posted literally shows him doing it legit. why are you so sure you cant when there actual proof right there

[wraith quiver]

idk wha tthe hell id even do if i could do the rotations. i just dont trust my free hand

[raven rover]

read the desc

[long pawn]

I played around yesterday with some of the accessories and they all assist in offset building.

[raven rover]

ive tried it man 😭

ive talked to the dude who made the vid too

[long pawn]

Nice tip to know!

[raven rover]

Use the other parts as guidelines

[wraith quiver]

when i rotate the windows, i cant even see it to use anything as a guideline

[long pawn]

Um... Hit the G key to select the weapon and fire.

[raven rover]

Thats how you keep it at least a bit accurate

[modern turret]

nvm im actually dumb asf

[raven rover]

Stand in 1 place and use anything as a guideline

[modern turret]

you appear to be right, horizontal works, vertical doesnt

[raven rover]

As long as you dont move, the angle wont change

[raven rover]

Thats why im so sure of it 😭 😭

[wraith quiver]

the window isnt visble to see rotating so i couldnt line it up if i cant see it

[raven rover]

Cant change the rotation axis

[wraith quiver]

like once i turn off snapping its just like im holding nothin

[raven rover]

BUT

https://www.youtube.com/live/vqozLFHYNS4?si=0fyxdzs72ez2W769

[long pawn]

They're not fond of you either. Phase still hasn't forgiven for stealing his girlfriend in 7th grade.

[raven rover]

@modern turret i think this is vanilla

And using the base building glitches

Hes able to put stuff vertically

[wraith quiver]

also im going back cos i had to load a save. i killed a bunch of sentinels and then the mother ship spawned ON MY VETTE and swallowed it whole and i had to load out...

[raven rover]

😭 😭 😭

[raven rover]

BRUH

[modern turret]

on the bright side, you have just caused me to discover a new building technique i dont think anyone has found/mentioned yet

[raven rover]

Hwat is it

[long pawn]

I had the same issue. I just gave up after my sixth attempt. Guess this is one for the mods.

[modern turret]

you can use a ramp that phases inside the hab to 'fine tune' the hight of the hab's you're placing attached to free-placed windows

[raven rover]

https://youtu.be/4R2_1k1sakA?si=rVI3X--P1RfnfyRx

[modern turret]

you dont need to use stair cases to place habs in circules

[raven rover]

Yes

Ive always just used windows

Far easier and cleaner

[modern turret]

it's not about using windows thats the amazing part. it's the ramp insidie

[raven rover]

So you can change the height right?

[modern turret]

the long ramps use an axis that lets you very carely dictate at what height you're placing at

[raven rover]

Yeah it could be useful actually

[modern turret]

yes but not by the pixel

now you can

[raven rover]

I havent found the need to fine tune it but its nice to know

I usually just stack the habs

And use the offset glitch in tandem

Usually its enough to get the results that i want

[wraith quiver]

every day in hear i learn that i dont know shit lmfao

[modern turret]

i can inch it closer and closer to the pixels on the ramp, thus allowing me to also control EXACTLY how high the window is

[wraith quiver]

here*

[raven rover]

Glitchbuilding is a doozy

😔

[modern turret]

the closer down the ramp it goes the lower it is, and vice versa

[raven rover]

Yep

[modern turret]

i like

fine tuning

no excuse for clunky ships

[raven rover]

But you have to stand in the same spot

Exactly

Otherwise you cant do 2 sides with it

Itll be off

Thats why i dont rly do the height thingy

[modern turret]

WAAAYYY ahead of you

[wraith quiver]

this is the peak of my "glitch building" lmfao that other shit looks too overwhelming. ill have to wait to have an idea to use that build in before i just try it and freestyle

[modern turret]

i wedged myself into that corver before doing this

[raven rover]

Oh yeah that works too

For both sides

[raven rover]

Ohhh daaamnn

I havent tried any internal bays

[wraith quiver]

that was main goal of this project was to do that and to flip the arcadia wing shits

and i did the wings on accident. to this day i dont understand doing the ladder in hab trick intentionally.

[small plaza]

Corvettes should be small warships, but ships nonetheless, not boats

So a proper ship bridge makes complete sense

[raven rover]

guys, put the farting fish on your corvette

[long pawn]

Lt.: "Captain, our sensors show an enemy ship is off our starboard flank approaching at warp 5!"
Prototype: "Bring up on viewer"
bling bling bling
Prototype: "Magnify."
bling bling bling
Prototype: "That's not a starship. It's too flat."
PEW PEW PEW
Prototype: "What do you know? It is a starship!"

[raven rover]

your ship will fart blue smoke

[modern turret]

nice to see someone else who des nice, actually fully build interiors and not just 2 chairs and a lamp

[raven rover]

[modern turret]

( ^u^)🤝(^o^ )

[wraith quiver]

need

[raven rover]

Might be hard hiding the fishes

But the smokes are funny

[modern turret]

🤣 too accurate

[wraith quiver]

this is absolutely fantastic

[modern turret]

i've never been raosted in a more fantastic way

[long pawn]

OMG. I need to find a farting fish!

[wraith quiver]

the hand towel hanging

[modern turret]

y thank u

[modern turret]

xD LOL thats what you focus on. love it

[hoary agate]

Awesome

[wraith quiver]

devil in the details man!

[violet swallow]

I have a bug where the landing gear (the one thats a large piston) doesnt extend when landing, how do i fix it?

[long pawn]

All in good fun. I don't mean anything bad. 🙂

[raven rover]

i dont rly do interiors since my ships are over the build limit and i dont want to lag everyone 😔

[modern turret]

i know lol i saved that screencap and hall of famed it

[fervent mist]

Really want to see if I can make the Rexcelsior a reality in NMS.

[arctic bough]

i don't do interiors because i forget to do it

[raven rover]

thats doable enough

[modern turret]

is... is that a fist?

[wraith quiver]

i can go on the throw pillows and is that a... shower? love all of it tbh lol

[arctic bough]

probably without bigger issues, it's mostly a block

[wraith quiver]

thats gonna look funny flying into a black holel

[long pawn]

🤣

[modern turret]

i believe NMS is adding a new enemy sentinel type eventually that can ram players, can''t remember where i heard this from, could be a rumour. but, BUT, i hope they add that functionality for players too. having a fist and ramming into enemies would be premium content

[long pawn]

I think the big challenge is going to be keeping it under the 100 piece limit. 🤔

[arctic bough]

melee weapon for multitool would be goated

[obsidian robin]

The new enemy sentinel type is called women

[raven rover]

Could just make it hollow inside

[fervent mist]

I just wanna punch space, is that too much to ask?

[modern turret]

💀

[arctic bough]

those were added many updates ago, you just haven't encountered any yet

[fervent mist]

I figured the hard part would be getting the fingers to look right.

[modern turret]

💀 💀

[obsidian robin]

Great....another sentinel I cannot understand

[modern turret]

bro the roasts in this chat

[raven rover]

cooked

[modern turret]

this explains why sentinels avoid me

[long pawn]

Offset building the outer fingers?

[raven rover]

ive grown to liking this landing bay

still think the execution is shit

[arctic bough]

blasphemy

[raven rover]

but still useable

at least i havent encountered the bugs

[arctic bough]

i only use it in tandem with a normal one

[raven rover]

i do too

[violet swallow]

I really dislike it in multiplayer

Cool idea, but next time make a platform bigger

[raven rover]

i just use it as a kind of quick entrance

since my ship is too long

[raven rover]

yuppp

[obsidian robin]

No need for landing bay, I just dive thru the window

[wraith quiver]

everything a hab wide cant be used

or thatd be huge. you could use some decor pieces though

[modern turret]

i use that loading bay entryway as a way of connecting the non-connectable sideways habs to forward facing habs

[raven rover]

like having 2 is nice

[modern turret]

if you have a sideways entryway, you can use the loading bay entryway to give the stairs an exit ppoint into the forward habs

[raven rover]

Ohhh yeah thats a good use case too

[agile forge]

Hi bois, quick question, is there away to rotate a part 90º degreres in the Vertical axis??????????????
thx in advanced

[modern turret]

i also really like using engines as vents on the side instead of actual engines
