[unreal river]

That looks so cool. Mad respect for you guys who can replicate ships from other franchises

Oooo, good idea, I'll try that

[swift mist]

i would have expected a viking longship looking at your name

[unreal river]

It's in the works, needed to get the basics of making old-looking ships first, and I'm a perfectionist, so it's taking a bit

[tidal thunder]

which hatch you teleport to on the corvette is based on which was first correct?

[viscid turret]

Kinda! It's the hab that saves the info, so you need to delete the hab if you are trying to change the primary landing bay.

[tidal thunder]

oof okay thats gonna be annoying but thank you

[zealous scaffold]

is there a method people use to try bypass the complexity limit?

currently i just go with adding windows and ladders last when in interior mode cuz the corvette is finalised and going over the limit doesnt break it but is there a way we can get more parts to work with

i mean i think theres modding but idk how well that exactly works

[viscid turret]

Mods if you are on pc

[zealous scaffold]

does that break multiplayer at all?

[viscid turret]

Mods in general? No. But too many corvette parts can cause issues for other players on the anomaly.

[zealous scaffold]

got it

thank you

[hardy oracle]

A little bit, but not much. Personally I'm hoping for a setting to not see oversized corvettes though. Some of them do look cool but it sure seems to cause more issues than it is worth

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

[viscid turret]

I think they could make it so corvettes with more than X parts don't show up for you.

[hardy oracle]

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for

But they surely have enough to do right now, I doubt it's a big priority. It's a pretty small (heh) issue after all

[viscid turret]

I have trouble even staying in the part limit. I keep wanting to add more detail >.<

[hardy oracle]

I haven't counted my parts, but I think I'm at around 30 for mine

[cobalt flame]

Aren't we all? 😄

[wraith quiver]

i wanna see

[hoary agate]

Game can lag or crash if multiple players spawn with big corvette builds. Specialy on consoles.

[unreal river]

That looks waaaaaay better than I was expecting when I heard 30 pieces, sick vette

[tidal thunder]

i wanted to use those big launch thrusters on my new corvette but they clipped into my habs and i couldnt rework them in 🙁

[wraith quiver]

thats sick

[viscid turret]

I want my ship to have a large cargo area, a med bay, a mess hall, a personal quarters, a reactor room, a workshop, a mission control room, and an observation deck. So the interior is big by itself lol

[hardy oracle]

I only have two habs, the rest of the hull is crammed full of offset parts for stats

[unreal river]

That's partially what I have going on with my jellyfish-inspired corvette, wanted a moving base that looked cool

[abstract crow]

Well, I kinda phoned it in near the end when I realized there was no way I was going to try and clean up the interior, and that the whole thing was too large for online. But here's my attempt at a Republic Attack Cruiser.

[unreal river]

Impressive that you were able to do that with 2 Habs, the smallest ship I made so far had like 7

[unreal river]

That looks awesome, but if you loaded into the anomaly with me, my computer would spontaneously combust

[hardy oracle]

What do you fill all those habs with? I was able to fit in a full home for my character as well as a workshop in my two habs

[mild stratus]

Pink backdrop kinda slaps 😅

[unreal river]

Storage units

[abstract crow]

Mine was stuttering hard each time I loaded it in, lol

[hardy oracle]

Did you know that if you install a matter beam in your freighter, putting all the storage units there gives you access to all of them directly in your inventory?

[unreal river]

One day I'll learn how to make a pointy ship. One day...

[viscid turret]

I want my storage everywhere lol

[mild stratus]

It's not too hard you'll get there

[hardy oracle]

That's what the freighter module does! You literally have access to it everywhere, no matter if you are on a station or on a planet away from all your ships!

[unreal river]

I like to use them to sort things, would be harder if I accessed all of them at once

[hardy oracle]

They get their own tab in your inventory screen

[unreal river]

Oh

Well now I feel silly

Duly noted though, thanks for telling me

[viscid turret]

Just saves me time. If I warp to a space station I'd need to fly out of it, summon my freighter, then fly back in.

[smoky dawn]

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s- oh wait. It’s a bird. It’s really a bird

Turned out a lot better than I thought it would. Might make some adjustments idk

[unreal river]

That does look quite bird-like, that's sick

Like a swallow

I tried to get this one to look like a jellyfish

It has tentacles from a couple wonder projectors, but they're hard to see in a picture

Which, by the way, if anyone knows how to make wonder projectors less infuriating to deal with, please tell me how

[smoky dawn]

Oooh 👀 that’s a really unique shape

I dig it

[unreal river]

I wanted to avoid the ship being flat, cuz 99% of the vettes i see on the anomaly have the same basic shape

[smoky dawn]

I’d say it’s much less than 99%

I’ve been seeing some really unique builds lately, I think more people are starting to get the hang of the building + techniques

[hardy oracle]

This is what the freighter inventory can look like. I only properly labelled 0, 1, 2. The rest are just numbered.

[unreal river]

That's dope as hell, thanks for the clarification, this is genuinely going to affect my future builds a decent bit

[unreal river]

I look forward to it, more ideas for me to steal XD

[fallen frost]

The 100 parts cap gets me every build lol

[unreal river]

It's kicking my butt on my pirate ship rn

[fallen frost]

My stuff would be so more polished, but at 100 I just get them made

[mild stratus]

Yall I need some help landing on a name cast your votes!!!

Winter ghost
Lucky13
Lady Winter
SSR OMƐGA

[toxic basin]

My smallest ship and my latest ship

[fallen frost]

I like lucky 13 personally

[wraith quiver]

Same

[zealous scaffold]

ssr omega sounds coollll but maybe for a bigger ship?

[swift mist]

gotta slap a 13 decal somewhere if you're going with that

[lunar zodiac]

Kinda looks like the Aurora from Subnautica

[topaz shale]

Funny bug(?)
You can place modules where you originally wouldn't be able to if you click to place before the module turns red

Also lag

[cursive lark]

I need to see this thing fly

[abstract crow]

Oh yeah. We're getting ambitious with this one.

[topaz shale]

Module stuck in the ground

[barren marlin]

New to no mans sky but here’s my corvette
The Queen Ann’s Revenge

[barren marlin]

Lucky13
Love death and robots ?

[topaz shale]

Opening the corvette workshop now crashes my game

[mild stratus]

Yep one of my favourite episodes 😂

[barren marlin]

Solid episode
Go with the name yo killer design

[urban bolt]

This, is beyond aggravating...

Nothing is ever where I left it the next day...

[honest lance]

So if I deconstruct a ship and rebuild it does it retain its class?

[proud cairn]

pretty much. just don't go to the shib salvage terminal and scrap it and you should be good.

just break down everything in the habs before you delete em or it will destroy them without refunign you

[glacial dagger]

does somebody know where i can get this corvette parts?
i farm for hours but i didnt get them.

[limpid karma]

i dont think you can

[glacial dagger]

why? i saw it on other ships

[limpid karma]

maybe creative mode

[urban bolt]

I think I saw somewhere else that it was one of the parts only in creative mode

[glacial dagger]

oh

ok

thats weird...

[abstract crow]

Kinda ugly anyways

[wraith quiver]

it has its uses im sure

[abstract crow]

Maybe for something super industrial or a junker style ship

[wraith quiver]

lol exactly

[urban bolt]

Not every ship needs to be streamlined and clean.

[wraith quiver]

mines a shitbox

[urban bolt]

I mean, look at Firefly/Serenity... one of the most iconic ships in sci-fi, and literally everyone in the show comments on how the ship is a POS. It's not clean, elegant, but, is instantly recognizable.

[glacial dagger]

i miss the show

[abstract crow]

Streamlined, clean, and huge is the way to go for me. Gives off that military vibes.

[wraith quiver]

ya gotta razzle dazzle em

[abstract crow]

That's what the paint is for

[wraith quiver]

hope they give corvettes more interior purpose so that i would have a reason to make a big ship

[abstract crow]

Just the fact that they're fun to build is enough for me.

And now that I have extended build limits, I'm going to see just how crazy these things can get. In my own system, of course.

[wraith quiver]

oh hell yeah with no limit id make awy larger ships just for the fun i feel that.

[shut mango]

Lady or 13 for sure

[shut mango]

I might have had a similar issue jumping to a new system fixed it for me

[abstract crow]

There's definitely a limit. Camera can only go so far away from the player. But I'm extending into the landing spots for other starships and into the second corvette build zone as well.

[wraith quiver]

be cool to have crew modules that spawned an NPC

[shut mango]

Holding out hope for a bigger building zone preferably something outside the space station if they ever give us control of um, would help with vertical builds

[shut mango]

That would be sick for us friendless saps lol

[wraith quiver]

he will have to do.

[shut mango]

Right always watching always judging, probably reports to hello games

[signal mulch]

That is a great idea, please tell me you’ve suggested that to HG

[wraith quiver]

i have not

i love this little dude

had to make sure little homie didnt clip into anything

[shut mango]

Personally i just kinda hope we'll get lucky they'll read some of the good community stuff lol i know they check it out now and again

[wraith quiver]

i have a feeling thyere understanding that this is a really big part of the game now and will expand on it

[shut mango]

If i could ever finish the exterior id add this little dude as well lol

[signal mulch]

Yeah, corvettes open up many possibilities

[shut mango]

Oh for sure ive heard talk of this being the start of something big along the lines of rebuilding the game

We can already see the signs of a framework going up

Think it was Captain Steve on yt

[proud cairn]

is there any way to have two walkways next to eachother without connecting? to make little crew rooms?

[runic bluff]

@raven rover

Showcasing revised weapons placement

[glass cloak]

Someone in a group I'm in shared this. Any idea how to make it so the fuel pod covers line up into the Kino thrusters? It's a hell of a good effect, but I'm not really competent with glitches.

[runic bluff]

You need to "offset" build. Certain pieces like vents and air purifiers can be used to move habitations half a space on the snap grid.

It's hard to explain in typed word

[glass cloak]

I've done that with some of the fins, but I can't quite figure out how to make everything line up.

[runic bluff]

https://youtu.be/OviTjOwAfp8?si=-0-II3foKMbjjEpk
This video might help.

[glass cloak]

Appreciate it.

[smoky dawn]

Introducing… the thingamabob

I wanted to make something vertical… this was the result

Goofy ass ship

[silver socket]

yo whos fucking ship is this

[remote cape]

I kinda wish Corvettes had a better damage bonus. 21k is about the best I can get from the Inferna-Knife.

[smoky dawn]

What 😭

Where did you see that

[mint basin]

watch your language

[silver socket]

☝️🤓

nothing in the rules says im not allowed to curse

[smoky dawn]

Made some improvements to the thingamabob

Thingamabob has evolved into railgun doohickey

[silver socket]

and considering i wasnt cussing someone out, id say its more than fine

[mint basin]

I didn't say you broke any rules I was just saying could you watch your language

[silver socket]

nope

im following rules

[mint basin]

fair enough

[merry burrow]

like my fucking big ass ship

[mint basin]

may I ask what you're using all the space for🤔

[smoky dawn]

“Be there or be square”

Me fr:

[merry burrow]

pizza box

[merry burrow]

yes

[mint basin]

please tell me the ship's name is pizza box

[merry burrow]

It is now

Nice improvements, what's going on with the rails around the windows do they just come with um?

[smoky dawn]

The rounded windows have those rails around them by default I don’t mind em though

[shut mango]

Oh okay i dig it actually looks good, wonder if they were added recently i didn't know they were a thing

[smoky dawn]

They don’t obstruct the view too much so I’m fine with them there

[raven rover]

Damn, you have 6?

Looks great!

I AM MAGENTAAAA

[raven rover]

Daaaang that loooks siiiickk

[runic bluff]

4 Phase, 3 Photon. Just for the Symmetry

[shut mango]

Ya they look good i wonder if they updated the texture recently, i noticed they've been sneaking in little updates to the textures with the patches. I kinda didn't like the way the windows looked before but the bars make me wanna use them now

[raven rover]

[smoky dawn]

Thanks!! I finally decided to go vertical

(Yes yes I know the snail is vertical. I meant in a non-snail manner)

[raven rover]

[exotic spruce]

USS Griddlecake?

QUALITY OF LIFE: have the name of the highlighted part appear like in base building mode

[shut mango]

That or im just blind lol

[fierce mural]

Hello Guys. I'm new in NMS and I have a quick question. I am on expedition mode with the game. I just finished a mission where I have to fix a crashed ship but I dont see an option to claim it.

[mental loom]

How do you guys afford such things

I’m broke 😭

[mental loom]

I haven’t done it but when I wake up tomorrow I will try to find what is wrong

Just ping me tomorrow in a couple of hours
-# 8 hours

[smoky dawn]

Hard work and dedication..

Or creative mode

[swift mist]

the expedition will only allow you to fly your corvette. you can't claim any other starship when you're doing it

once you complete it, it'll turn into a normal save file and you'll be able to claim a starship like normal

[stone juniper]

I call this one “Conquest of the Cosmos”

[verbal grove]

Kinda reminds me of the 90's Bat Mobile. It looks really good.

[merry burrow]

So uh whats the class system about

are certain classes better and which ones

titan class, thunderbird class and what not

[smoky dawn]

Nah they’re merely aesthetic

[merry burrow]

oh ok good

how do you make a corvette s class tho

[stone juniper]

Thanks! 😀

[smoky dawn]

You gotta upgrade it with nanites at space stations

They’re not like other starships where you can just put an s-class reactor in.. you have to upgrade it from c-class every time

[merry burrow]

ty

[buoyant orchid]

that's the main technique vanilla glitch-building is based on.

[lavish plaza]

cutting it close but made it

-# although i think the third cannon on top just looks extra

now time to play juggling with tech

[raven rover]

You could move it back a block

Or clip it into the cowling

[lavish plaza]

did that looks better but still is a sore thumb

also, forgot to put the shields in so the part count is 97

this good layout? or should i change smth?

-# (dont wanna upgrade it to s-class rn)

[raven rover]

Yeah thats ok

[rustic vine]

everytime i exit the pilot seat, do something, and reenter it and try to open the galaxy map my screen just zooms out permanentley and i have to reload

[hasty shale]

remember, supercharging weapons rule of thumb, first SC core tech, then if you're using more than 1 SC slot for the same weapon, SC the upgrade module(s)

[hasty shale]

unable to reproduce this on steam experimental branch, using a barebones ship like this

[rocky ginkgo]

Hoe do i put 2 objects in the same exact spot?

Turrets to be more precise

[rustic vine]

is it just me or are corvettes absoluteley OP in space combat

im committing war crimes and nobody can stop me!!11

[pseudo charm]

Hard pressed to see how I can get some more manuverabilty out of this. Any suggestions?

[pseudo charm]

not even your own moral conscious is stopping you captain?

[rocky ginkgo]

Put engines in sc slots?

I have 2 engines in sc slot, phase beqms and photons on 2 more

[pseudo charm]

I am assuming you mean the pulse drive when you say engines?

[rocky ginkgo]

And also reduce some parts?

Not thr drive, the pusle engine upgrades the s or x ones

[pseudo charm]

what do you mean reduce parts?

[rustic vine]

im blowing everything up cuz i feel like it

muhhehaehahehaehahaeh

[rocky ginkgo]

Making it smaller gives you more maneuverability

Let me get on my pc ill show you a pic

[small plaza]

That looks like all my designs combined into a single corvette

Nice

[pseudo charm]

the tech slots will just move again which annoys the crap outta me.

[abstract crow]

One of these days I'll take a corvette into Gek space and terrorize them. But I'm too busy building more ships and waiting for the tech slots to stop moving around.

[rocky ginkgo]

look at the tech placements

Yours should be like this

why do you have hubs close to pulse engines?

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

[pseudo charm]

they keep moving around. they weren't originally there. and i see that you used two SC slots for pulse engines 🙂

[rocky ginkgo]

yes

2 SC for pulse engine, 1 sc for phase beams, 1 sc for photon canons

i can make it 3 but there is not huge different that i noticed in manuverability

atm is 2.5k with 3 its around 3.1k

[pseudo charm]

hmm will have to see because my SC slots layut isn't identical to yours. Will see what's close by and try for touching

[rocky ginkgo]

as long as you have 2 sc slots close together you should be fine

I think i might even get rid of the launch thruster upgrades

semms usless for me its not like you gona land take off from a planet so fast

to make more slots

also the more engine trails you have the more manuverability you have

[hardy harbor]

I think this part creates collision in hub it is attached to

[pseudo charm]

yes that is true however trying to control which trail shows up remains an issue

[rocky ginkgo]

ye i dont know which one takes priority

[hardy harbor]

same with thrusters

[rocky ginkgo]

thruster you can have 4 max showing

at all times

weapons 6

[hardy harbor]

they all different but whch ones get to e ech is unknown

[rocky ginkgo]

yes if you have more its tricky

[raven rover]

chromatic is the no 1 priority

Then the red n green

And followed up by the special trails

[rocky ginkgo]

what else?

give me

ones that are last

[raven rover]

Sputtering should be last

[mild stratus]

The trails only give a bonus when there next to polo bobble head and it caps at 3 trails

[raven rover]

Havent tested temporal/ the new one

[rocky ginkgo]

Only polo?

[raven rover]

But they should be at the back

[raven rover]

Yes

Polo in the middle

Surrounded by the trails

[rocky ginkgo]

polo octopus also gives

and

[raven rover]

But i mean like

The bonus is negligible

I'd rather just not bother with the trails stuff

[rocky ginkgo]

really? its not like 5% or smt?

i know figurines is 5%

[raven rover]

I'd just use the slots for smth else

[rocky ginkgo]

trails not sure

[mild stratus]

The bobble heads are needed if you wanna min max/get as much out of your stats as you can

[raven rover]

Yes

If slots are limited then the figurines is really low on my priority list

Then again, i dont do much minmaxing

[pseudo charm]

thanks again for your assistance captain! After moving stuff around and getting more bonus the ship now is at 1225.2 a considerable boost.

[pseudo charm]

you are correct that the trails will add a bonus. just eew. you never know which one is going to show up

[mild stratus]

It's hard to have limited slots unless your trying to upgrade everything

[rocky ginkgo]

I wish i didnt too but my brain goes " ok we have set everything up, wondeeeeer if it can be better..."

[raven rover]

Yeah, valid

[rocky ginkgo]

thats close to min maxing

3k with 1.7k aint little

[raven rover]

Believe it or not, i did not use trails

the only screenshot i have sadly

the tech is all shuffled rn

[mild stratus]

This is what good sc slots and upgrades can get you

[raven rover]

its at 2k maneuver

[rocky ginkgo]

whaaat?

extend the tech screen that doesnt seem right

[raven rover]

its an old screenshot

dont have it anymore

[rocky ginkgo]

you have 5 SC slots

[tulip zealot]

I think this is a big but a pretty useful one

[rocky ginkgo]

6 actually

[mild stratus]

4 sc slots and alot of adjacency

[rocky ginkgo]

all of this are sc mate

zycrom do you see?

or am i blind?

[raven rover]

Should be just 4

[mild stratus]

No that's the adjacent bonus lol

[raven rover]

The borders is often inaccurate

well you are using those X class illicit bad boy upgrades hehe. I should consider those I suppose.

[mild stratus]

@rocky ginkgo 4

[raven rover]

rn its shuffled to kingdom come

[mild stratus]

Shhhh you see nothing i definitely didn't spend hours hunting good xclass upgrades

[rocky ginkgo]

My bad, i do love the skull though

but

do you see any difference in manuverability?

it feels after 2.5k difference to be small?

i had it at 3.2k

now i reduced it

to put phase beams in sc

and not a huge difference if i am honest

still turns slower then my sentinel which has even lell manuverability

this thing is super fast in comparison

[mild stratus]

There's definitely a difference in get to planets faster and turn alot faster even 2k feels slow now

[rocky ginkgo]

for normal traveling hm? not much for turning btw?

[mild stratus]

I do turn alot faster too

[wraith quiver]

thats real cool actually

[tulip zealot]

Not permanent sadly

[wraith quiver]

works through first person though right?

you could use it to hide the cockpit but still be able to use it first person

[muted glacier]

Has anyone figured out how to work prefab/cuboid/basic structures to corvettes without mods?

[rocky ginkgo]

Anything i need to swap around to get better stats?

[nimble bloom]

Recently I encounter this big living thing, can anyone explain what's that ?

[mild stratus]

I heard putting base parts on your ship has a chance of corrupting your save

[rocky ginkgo]

@mild stratus do you see it?

i menaged to get to 3k now

[mild stratus]

@rocky ginkgo It really depends what stats you want to prioritise and 3k is good

[rocky ginkgo]

i mean as in the slots if something needs moving around

cuz i think i have min maxed to the limit

given what i have

i can get more the 3k but 1 sc is phase beams and 1 sc is photons

[mild stratus]

I'd get rid of the phontons and just have phasebeams as you don't really need alot of damage then you can move the phase beams to were the phontons are and use the phase beam sc slots for your polo and put trails around it for more maneuverability

[rocky ginkgo]

but photons looks so nice, plus i assume they are gona fix the insane phase beams dmg so we need smt else then

[wraith quiver]

trail colors help?

[hardy oracle]

Adjacency buffs only the adjacent modules. You're not just chasing general adjacency but should strive to make the best modules as adjacent as possible. This is wasted potential. You could have a better module here and the thruster below it to give it full adjacency bonuses

[rocky ginkgo]

yes this is what i am talking about

ok let see

[hardy oracle]

The landing gear situation is also a bit lacking, but admittedly landing gear boosting really isn't that important in the first place. But if you want to maximize it you can move your medusas and the cockpit somewhere else so you can put more landing gear stuff together

[mild stratus]

Yea if you put 3 trails around polo bobble head it also buffs maneuverability abit

[rocky ginkgo]

no fuck landing gear i just removed 2 of them to make more space

[rocky ginkgo]

so i moved some stuff around and nop, as i posted is the best in terms of stats

belive it or not

there is nothing i can do it seems

this is max as it is, sure i can remove some stuff and put other stuff in sc slots but i think this is most balanced

[hardy oracle]

Something like this?

[rocky ginkgo]

sure lets move the engine bellow

give me a sec

nop

it makes it worse

i droped to 2.3k

fuck it

its fine

[hardy oracle]

Odd, I did something similar and it worked pretty well for me. Note that I did put mine over 3 supercharged slots so that spot was more valuable for me than it is for you

[rocky ginkgo]

thanks for the help!

[hardy oracle]

You could also add a second trail module to buff Polo a bit more, but I recognize that it can be hard to find the space given that you have two weapon systems 🙂

I had slots to spare, but only because I had already given up on trying to have two weapons

[rocky ginkgo]

i dont like the infra knife because projectiles come weird from behind the turrets

[hardy oracle]

Oh! One big thing you can do is that you can replace your cockpit tech with another medusa. That'll give a pretty significant buff without taking up another slot

[rocky ginkgo]

i love the phase beams because they do insane dmg since last update due to lack of testing from hellow games, they do 6x dmg then they should\

photons are best for me cuz they look best

[rocky ginkgo]

wtffff how do you NOT have cockpit in your screenshot

[hardy oracle]

I just placed it after placing three medusas. The game only lets you keep the first 3 techs of a type. If you already have 3 medusas there won't be any tech generated by the cockpit

[rocky ginkgo]

OHHHHHHH

definetly doing that

if i can find a place 😄

i overlaped 2 reactors on top of eachother

now to find another place where i can hide it

[hardy oracle]

I know, right? My ship is tiny so I had to do so much offset trickery to fit all my stuff inside the hull

[rocky ginkgo]

Oh nooo , no wonder i could fit it there 😄

fuck me

ahh

[hardy oracle]

Oops! 🙂

just duck and... oh, wait

all mine are tucked in the tail lol i love the piping and lighting

small ship but has like 5 or 6 reactors total lol

[rocky ginkgo]

i need to brake it down now

and do offest crap again

I made sure all my medusas are visible because I like those glowing pipes, though only just barely. I hid my zenith's completely though

[exotic spruce]

😿

[mild stratus]

The power of offsetting let me have 9 11 reactors all together lmao

[raven rover]

me with my chonker and only 2 reactor

[exotic spruce]

I like the less fiddling of using all corvette parts, but the lack of 2x2 habs keeps driving me back to mixing in base parts

[wraith quiver]

use the hab empty space so you dont have to risk all that lol

[exotic spruce]

because decorating and looking out the windows while flying

[raven rover]

[wraith quiver]

unless you want windows

[wraith quiver]

thats dope lol

[raven rover]

I should put more but ehh

[rocky ginkgo]

how do i do this

[raven rover]

Do hwat?

[rocky ginkgo]

pit in the middle of that other part

[raven rover]

The middle ceto reactor?

Oh

[hardy oracle]

That's a good spot for a Zenith though. My ship simply doesn't have a single flat surface, it's all curves or angles so having a visible zenith would look odd

[raven rover]

its 2 titan wing module

snapped to the side

[mild stratus]

Same only ones I really like showing are ceto and azimuth

The blue glow is good

[raven rover]

i only used the zenith to get the X glow tbh

[wraith quiver]

esp when close to the thrusters

[exotic spruce]

❤️

[raven rover]

i really like the electric stuff on the ceto

And spinny thing

[mild stratus]

@wraith quiver I managed to put 2 cargo cylinders behind my big engine lol there was a big gap which i didn't like

[raven rover]

oh i can clip em right there

😂

[rocky ginkgo]

yeee

i found a spot!

and it might even look bettr

[abstract crow]

I learned my lessons the hard way with the hab glitch and realized that the best way to ensure the habs aren't backwards is to go through each layer after I finish it. Unfortunately, most of my habs are still backwards...

[rocky ginkgo]

jesus people have made 10 corvettes by by now and i am still tweking this for the 20th time

[wraith quiver]

yeah offset helped me hide a ton i have one hidden like that

[exotic spruce]

oh more than 10x ... never able to get that perfect corvette as soon as I see something interesting in the station / chat

[wraith quiver]

oh that works perfectly lol wonder what the gap looked like

[mild stratus]

Just hid some azimuth reactors in my engines kinda liking the blue wires looks like there conecting my engines

[mild stratus]

You could seemy rear window and it just looked weird having a gap behind the engine lol

[wraith quiver]

the wires and coils look so good

[rocky ginkgo]

@mild stratusIve put the reactor

[wraith quiver]

seeeee idk how much im liking the window on my main ship

[rocky ginkgo]

BUT it still shows the cockpit

how do i go on about it?

[wraith quiver]

its in the back but its just odd hang on

[rocky ginkgo]

how do i make the medusa reactor take priority?

[wraith quiver]

i think you have to remove everything thenplace the reactors first

[rocky ginkgo]

but i gota place the cockput in order to save the build

[wraith quiver]

yeah you dont have to save it

[mild stratus]

You have to delete the cockpit place reactors then put the cockpit back

[rocky ginkgo]

aha ok i dont need to save it

ok

lets try

[rocky ginkgo]

nooo looks bad

[raven rover]

Cant place it on the mirror side too

No snap points

Weird

[muted glacier]

We could really use some rectangular flat pieces to cover gaps

[wraith quiver]

bit wonky to use but this helps

[muted glacier]

Hmm

[rocky ginkgo]

Ok i am done i think

I think they are all in their place like this

[abstract crow]

You're never done. Always chances and reasons to tweak.

[wraith quiver]

anyone elses camera seem to be choppy only in ship builder?

[abstract crow]

Not really. Not even with my big builds. Though the whole game gets frame-y on occasion. A restart fixes it.

[sturdy kayak]

For me it’s photo mode

[raven rover]

Wait....

[wraith quiver]

see photo mode is fine for me

[raven rover]

Recently???

[wraith quiver]

yeah recently

[sturdy kayak]

Legit getting 120 fps IN and ON my corvette but photo mode is sometimes under 10

[raven rover]

I just got it too

Made me worry for a sec

Thought my laptop is overheating

[wraith quiver]

like its ALMOST like fps lag but more so like the camera movement is just having an issue.

cos like the smoke and stuff is still good fps but just the camera movement seems slowed

[raven rover]

Stuttering for me

[wraith quiver]

yeah same but whena ship takes off or something and i stand still theres no stutter

its literally just moving the build cam

[raven rover]

Yeah

Just the build cam

[wraith quiver]

damn so you too eh?

[raven rover]

Weird

Its so weird

I have 90 ish fps

The second i get into the build cam

Drops down to 60

And stutters sometimes

[abstract crow]

Odd

[full umbra]

Tried building a smaller corvette for the first time but I really don't like the back
Any suggestions?

[wanton linden]

Made my first corvette

Im stuck inside it though, anyone know how to fix the walkway door not opening? It makes the noise but stays shut

[wraith quiver]

maybe a steeper slope in the back idk looks gine to me

fine*

[fair pilot]

I'd something on that slope on back to make it less flat

Like some small wing or something that will look like backward tractor beam or turret

Just visually

[full umbra]

Ah thanks i will try that

[swift bobcat]

Is corvette aiming broken?

[distant spruce]

Im not building a corvette for a long time.....

[wraith quiver]

thats what we all say

[distant spruce]

yeah im not kidding anyone this is like the 3rd iteration of my artemis class

[wraith quiver]

its always interesting to see how people name their classes

[raven rover]

try the split cowling

speedbird?

i forgot the name

[wraith quiver]

speedbird

[distant spruce]

actually its cause i took major inspiration from Matt Lowne's SSTO series from his KSP YT channel

[raven rover]

or the one that has the circular thingy

[wraith quiver]

i was thinking of using bladed weapons for classes

[swift bobcat]

Do the external parts influence the stats on the ships?

[raven rover]

that

[raven rover]

only the core parts

[wraith quiver]

damn the stuttering doesnt happen when im holding a part thats wierd.

[distant spruce]

Did I go crazy when brainstorming the corvette design

They said I went insane

[rocky ginkgo]

Why cant i remove the weapons after i put them on the corvette?

[merry stump]

early signs of schizophrenia

[distant spruce]

nice brainstorm

[distant spruce]

Should I brainstorm like this for my next major corvette build

[abstract crow]

Just go with the flow. Plan as you build.

[meager geyser]

Finally got 4 rockhoppers working at once

[stone cypress]

Meet

Whoops didn’t mean to hit send, hey yall lol

[wraith quiver]

hey bud

[runic bluff]

Every hull piece you add reduces your maneuverability by an extremely small amount

[abstract crow]

Explains why all my designs handle like barges.

[runic bluff]

I'm at complexity limit and still have 1500 maneuverability tho

[balmy cedar]

I think with some ships that's as high as they get

Is there any way to make it not handle like a wet brick?

[brave furnace]

Hey guys! once i get All the corvette parts I have an idea for my ship

The Nemesis

Formerly known as Trypticon

[old quail]

Mine's at complexity limit and sits around 2400 manoeuvrability rn

[runic bluff]

I don't supercharge any of my engines, I devote it all to weaponry

[old quail]

Had to SC 3 pulse drive mods tho

[azure edge]

I'm not near complexity limit and I've got 1600

[abstract crow]

Think I had one with 240. But all the tech slots were habs because mods.

Yeaaaaa... I've seen those screenshots and it's... whack

[old quail]

Yeah, I know it's possible but I try to go for a mix somewhat

[wraith quiver]

maneuverability

[azure edge]

I need to get the figurines but getting the quicksilver is a bit of a pain

[old quail]

Yeah it can be, kind of a longer term goal to collect them all for me. I have Polo/Artemis ones tho

[azure edge]

I bought one of the thruster trails but... no idea how to install it

[old quail]

Just in any empty tech slot

Should come up to install, they're super cheap to put on once you got the blueprints

[raven rover]

5 ferrite dust

[azure edge]

oh. It is just right in there

[azure edge]

You horrible liar

It's TEN

[raven rover]

[azure edge]

Do any of them not do anything? I bought stealth

WHAT WAS A SHIELD DOING IN A -

I had this deflector shield in a supercharged slot for apparently this entire time and didn't notice.

... so anyway, I now have 2.2k man

My new atmospheric max is 320u/s

Up by ~30

*Depending on elevation

[raven rover]

just for looks, but they do improve your maneuver by a lil bit

[azure edge]

Yea it brought my land-level speed max by 1u/s

[runic bluff]

I came up with the lore for this Corvette design, the Interloper stumbled across old, advanced schematics for a fast-action offensive Corvette designed to spearhead assaults on other fleets and suppress enemy fighter coverage, while still possessing enough firepower to be a problem for larger vessels. One of the complications involved in the Longinus XS-6's development was how to maintain the armor of a Corvette and retain its token agility. Test models were built with scant armor but extremely powerful shielding, as well as a generous complement of Siphon-enabled Phase Beam arrays to ensure shielding never depleted. Before the blueprints were lost to time, the issue of temporary, testbed flight control systems on the underside of the craft in combination with exposed reactor components were never resolved. The Last Traveler, valuing agility, opted to retain these imperfections and capitalize on its advanced aerospace maneuvering profile and further augment its already-impressive shielding systems with modern lattice modules.

... text wall, my bad

[azure edge]

Spaceflight speed aaaattt 2659u/s

[tawny raft]

you can put chairs on the exterior of your corvette if you're into that

[dense stone]

I call her the Unreliable :D

[mild stratus]

My current atmospheric speed is 716 u 😭

[azure edge]

Low atmospheric or high atmospheric?

[mild stratus]

Actually that's when I'm at a planets surface when I hit the atmosphere it goes to 1k

[azure edge]

You mf

[mild stratus]

In space I hit 3k u

[azure edge]

HOW

[mild stratus]

The power of grinding for good xclass upgrades good sc slots.....and obviously 3 medusas lmao

[azure edge]

Hm.

I don't know if I can paint mine more red.

[arctic bough]

watch out, the ship spirit might act its namesake for such an insult

[swift mist]

how much is it with power diverted to engines?

[arctic bough]

wdym power diverted to engines

[mild stratus]

....you can divert power to the engines?? 😂

[swift mist]

LMAO

yes

[arctic bough]

i think he got the wrong game

[swift mist]

or to weapons

bro im serious

[abstract crow]

Red makes the corvette go faster

[arctic bough]

are you talking about starfield

[swift mist]

check the keybinds

no

you can choose how you want your ship's power distributed

[arctic bough]

Damn roight da red makes da korvette go fasta, datz da propa orky way to do it

[azure edge]

shields, weapons, engine

[mild stratus]

Ok imma test how fast my ship is now ill get back to you

[swift bobcat]

So in order to get a corvette that has better stats than my sentinel, do I just have to keep creating new ones until the boosted slots are right?

[arctic bough]

ok i'll grant you that i thought you were tweaking

never used that mechanic in my life lol

[mild stratus]

With power diverted to engines in space it's close to 4k upper atmosphere is around 2k and ground level is 800u

[viscid turret]

Pretty much

Save load

[swift bobcat]

Is there any way to get rid of a corvette core?

[hardy oracle]

Maybe? What do you mean by corvette core?

[swift bobcat]

I started a corvette to experiment

It's now basically just a slot I can't seem to get rid of

[hardy oracle]

Only way I know of is to buy some random ship and use your basic corvette as trade-in to lower the price, then salvage that ship to get your funds back

[azure edge]

up by 63 u/s to 373u/s

[swift mist]

nice. I'm not sure if it's just a numbers thing because I found it hard to feel the difference on my ship

[hardy oracle]

Got to go faster! I'm surprised by how close our space speeds are yet mine is so much faster skimming the ocean.

[scenic slate]

Any max build for corvette stats? Im testing this one, i know the beam have the best dps, but i like the auto shotgun

[arctic bough]

i wouldn't count on the beam having the best DPS for long

[mild stratus]

What's your maneuverability at?

[arctic bough]

i think they'll patch it out at some point, since its not supposed to be like that

[hardy oracle]

Max build is somewhat subjective since we have different focuses. What you use use supercharged slots for has a huge impact. I use 3 for manoeuvrability and 1 for my gun for these stats

[hardy oracle]

Just over 5k

[scenic slate]

i heard over 3k manourv is wasteful

looks like it bugs out over 2.3k

[hardy oracle]

Your speed scales linearly with manoeuvrability, there are no hard or soft caps on it. But whether you need this level of speed is another matter

[scenic slate]

saw in reddit thou

[hardy oracle]

People on the internet make things up

[mild stratus]

Our stats are really close to each other honestly 😂

[swift mist]

You think anyone will just do that? Go on the internet and lie?

[scenic slate]

i will flip my oc slots to test. Trash eng sorry

[hardy oracle]

In this case I suspect it isn't a lie but a failure in testing or just taking statements out of context

[hardy oracle]

It isn't wrong to say that going over 2.3k is excessive. You certainly don't need to go this fast, there's nothing in the game that demands such speeds

[abstract crow]

Gotta go fast

[hardy oracle]

Oh, I agree! Which is why I go fast. But I do understand the argument that what we're doing might be unnecessary

[wraith quiver]

kerchoo

[viscid turret]

I don't think speed is dictated by maneuverability, but the things that increase speed usually also increase maneuverability. At least that's what I've heard.

[hardy oracle]

But like... what else are you going to optimize your corvette for? There's no hard combat, everything is easily beatable already. So the only thing left to optimize is speed.

[swift bobcat]

Jump distance

[viscid turret]

Right? That's what I feel.

[viscid turret]

Freighter

[hardy oracle]

Sure, you can say that. But this is what corvettes get naturally without any supercharged slots:

[arctic bough]

having a 45.8k DPS positron shotgun, basically unkillable shields or any other super-busted stat on the 'vette isn't necessary either. It's about the fun of figuring out how to go the fastest, the furthest, or simply getting the biggest gun.

Or waiting for if we ever get some sort of combat rework. That'd be cool

[fallen frost]

Is there a planned fix for the corvette weapons yet? Really hard to use them when they fire from weird random places.. kinda making the corvette useless in combat

[hardy oracle]

Probably? None of us really have any deep insight into what the devs are doing. We're just a bunch of players trying our best 🙂

[fallen frost]

Ahh, just annoyed lol, they worked fine last week

[arctic bough]

we can hope it's an issue that is big enough that it'll be fixed very quickly

but then again - the constant tech shuffling of the corvettes remains unfixed

[hardy oracle]

There isn't a fix on experimental, but given that the issue is new it probably isn't all that hard to revert whatever it was that caused it.

[fallen frost]

Hopefully soon.. love the vetts when they are working right

[arctic bough]

they're working fine for me tbh

what weapon are you using?

[fallen frost]

All of them lol

[hardy oracle]

My photon cannon bolts are coming out from an odd spot too. And I haven't moved my turrets for quite some time. Used to be that it worked just fine until the recent patch. It doesn't feel like a particularly big issue to me though, enemies still die easily enough. I just have to adjust my aim slightly

[fallen frost]

Works in 3rd person, but corvette is so big I can see anything

[arctic bough]

my positrons worked fine when i checked, so did the beams i think

[fallen frost]

Beams seem to work

Every so often they work right, but 9/10 times they are shooting somewhere I can't even see

[fervent mist]

After spending a lot of time messing around with the builder I think I’ve come to the conclusion that I just don’t like big ships, and if we could manually fly out freighters I probably wouldn’t. That big said it can be complicated to craft small corvettes if you don’t utilize any glitch building, but it’s still fun to see what you can come up with.

[hardy oracle]

It's entirely possible to fit a full set of stat-boosting modules inside less than a 2 by 2 by 2 cube if you're willing to do just the basic offset tricks.

[remote cape]

Just some pics of my current Corvette ship. I watched the video lejet made, but made a few changes to personalize.

[arctic bough]

smaller corvettes do seem like the best compromise - you don't need that much internal space to have everything you need, they don't occupy as much screen space in third person, and they still get all the benefits a corvette can get

[azure edge]

You know, I'd have a two-layer with the cockpit in the second floor, but I tried once and I couldn't stand going up that staircase.

[muted glacier]

Definitely seems like corvettes are currently scaled for "flyable capitol ship" more than "shuttle replacement"

[hardy oracle]

That's just a common choice, corvettes really don't have to be big at all

[muted glacier]

Convenient for freighterish things in multiplayer space

[azure edge]

Seeing as a lot of starships are the same size, I think a landing bay for starships wouldn't necessarily be that bad

[hardy oracle]

My corvette is just 2 tiles wide and 5 tiles long and has all the tech one could possibly want crammed into its hull. Anything bigger than that is just for looks (Which is totally okay! But it IS for looks and not necessity)

[azure edge]

100% agreed HOWEVER...

storage

[hardy oracle]

I am absolutely not saying that it's wrong to build bigger. All I'm saying is that it's an aesthetic choice, not something the game pushes

Storage? Just build storage on a freighter and add a matter beam module to it. You can access all your storage directly from the inventory screen. There's not much reason to put them on corvettes other than, again, aesthetics

[fervent mist]

Oh, for sure. This has been my favorite corvette I’ve built and it’s only 4 habs. It’s not fancy mind you, but I certainly don’t feel I’m missing anything internally but there are a few more touches I would add to the outside if space permitted.

[hardy oracle]

Hey, that's really cool! I have a similar shape but with very different hull pieces!

[fervent mist]

Maybe someone has figured it out already but I do wish we could turn reactors sideways.

Going left or right I mean with the back of the reactor facing the side of the ship.

[hardy oracle]

It is possible, yep. Free placement of window pieces while in corvette decor mode will create snap points that are in any rotation you could want

Getting exactly the rotation you want is ... a little more tricky

[fervent mist]

That’s a good idea, I’ll give that a shot see what I come up with. I did have an idea of trying to make a hot air balloon.😅

[hardy oracle]

Ah, horizontal rotations only.

[fervent mist]

I’d really like to make a zeppelin, but I don’t have the patience for all that.

[hardy oracle]

There may be other tricks to do vertical rotations but I haven't seen them personally

[fervent mist]

If HG continues adding to the parts I’d definitely like to see more rounded pieces.

[remote cape]

Does anyone else's Corvette weapons become wildly inaccurate when using 1st person view?

[hardy oracle]

I assume more pieces are coming at some point, but I'm guessing it won't be for quite some time.

[arctic bough]

bug, will hopefully be fixed

[buoyant orchid]

@arctic bough well yeah, as far as I've seen, it's not a game where you need or want such big ships, especially not as your "daily driver." But larger ships might come into more demand if the multiplayer keeps improving.

Im personally only building large ships now because my designs kind of need more pieces for the level of detail i want - and large custom ships is fairly rare among the already rare genres of space game that NMS fits into lol

[abstract crow]

Big ship designs are just too much fun to make for me.

[fervent mist]

Oh I enjoy building them, and am happy it’s possible for those who like using them. I just don’t like flying them.😅

If anything I wish I could take some of my larger designs and just shrink them down to about 3-4 hab size, it’s just not realistic.

Is there specific reason that is known to cause the hopper modules to not work?

[wraith quiver]

using too many pieces in that same category causes them not to work

including wings with no glow effect.

[meager geyser]

Looks so good having all 4 light up I could not get anymore to do so tho
But a night is sick

[meager geyser]

I didn't add or remove anything and they worked

Don't like flying them? It's simple. Just stay in 1st person, like for this ship. 😄

Or this one. Well, hm, maybe this one is better in 3rd person. 😅
K, maybe I can't give good advice on flying big ships. 🤷‍♂️ 🤣

[buoyant orchid]

Seems like 1st person view now shows weapons fire from where the weapons actually are mounted....except when that doesnt happen, so i guess it introduced a bug lol.

[mossy cove]

any word on whether we are going to get more ship slots for corvettes?

[scenic slate]

okish build? hyperdrive is useless for me, since i only travel with freighter, shud remove those techs and reactors for starship trails?

[safe geyser]

Could you please tell me how exactly to do this?
I'm positioning the window vertically, but the module preview is red and I can't create it

[lime fractal]

Has anyone else had an issue of their corvette becoming difficult to control when fighting a pirate freighter? I constantly had to fight the controls to go in the direction I wanted.

[harsh violet]

I feel corvettes become sluggish quite frequently.

it's just more bugs need ironed out

[neat cypress]

If I want to upgrade a thunderbolt walkway to Ambassador, how do I remove refiner, 3 living walls and mission thingie?

And then just delete old one and plug in upgraded one?

[fervent mist]

My take on the A-10 Warthog

[vivid flume]

👍

this was mine before my saved files got corrupted

[cursive lark]

Delete the interior parts through the menu you built them with, then just delete the walkway and replace it with the one you want

[kind glacier]

anyone knows why the game changes technologies? i placed first 3 Kineostream thrusters and linked them together but after making some more edits to my ship and adding the rest of the thrusters, 2 of the Kineostream thruster techonoliges got removed and replace with titan heavy boosters technologies

[hardy oracle]

No, but it seems to be a common issue. It gets mentioned here fairly frequently. Never happened to me personally though.

[kind glacier]

jesus. i just remove all my 1x1 habs to force the technologies onto the 2x1 habs

i really hope they won't change again 'cuz i don't want to have remove habs again

[hardy oracle]

Given that I don't understand what you just said, there is a distinct possibility that I misunderstood your earlier question too. But just to clarify, tech modules are not stored inside habs. Though the habs add storage space, it isn't the kind of storage space that is used by tech modules.

[kind glacier]

i'm talking about these. earlier i had 1 2x1 hab and 2 1x1 habs. basically 5 extra storage. i removed all my 1x1 habs to force the 2x1 habs into the techonology slots so i can have 9 storage instead of 5

i'm saying that i hope this bug won't happen to my habs too, because i don't want to have to remove the small habs again

[hardy oracle]

It might. I never had that many habs myself though. Maybe that's why I don't have the bug happen to me? Could be caused by having too many of the same type of module so the game gets confused. Though if that were the case someone would probably have figured it out by now

[fair pilot]

I want to start Corvette expedition tomorrow and have some questions:

1. corvette size defines anything? Is bigger = better in any way?
2. as I understood, I'll build the 'vette in expedition - will I keep it?

[hardy oracle]

No, bigger doesn't mean better. But there are many corvette parts that add stats (max 3 per such part. As an example the first 3 thrusters you add makes your ship faster and more manoeuvrable. You don't exactly "keep" the corvette, but you can import it into your main savegame from the terminal at the Anomaly. More or less the same thing as keeping it, but you do have to actively fetch it

[fair pilot]

3rd question redirected to #nms-expedition

[toxic basin]

The name 13 might because I forgotten where the 3rd gun is.I know 2 is in the front the other on the side somewhere

[abstract crow]

Getting closer to my perfect design. Might tweak the bridge to be a little different and maybe end the bow sooner so it's not so fat and the bow isn't as prominent. But in any case, this massive beast is completed.

[kind glacier]

anyone knows why only one of my mag-field landing thrusters are showing the correct value?

[weak locust]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[abstract crow]

Yes.

[waxen wigeon]

I love corvette building, but it's very time consuming to grab all of the many scrap parts. I just spent almost 3k nanites to move over my expedition corvette full of all the parts I could fit on it, it felt like a lot of nanites for not much difference to building after stripping it all down for parts.

I'm tempted to set it to free crafting for building my ideal corvette.

For those who did this, did you feel any disappointment later on as you took a shortcut?

Also are there any issues with achievements doing this?

Thanks

damn you guys have some awesome designs looking up

[fringe stag]

nope
If the building is what you like, fuck the grind and just build!

[waxen wigeon]

I am tempted for sure lol

[distant spruce]

Ngl it was more fun to play free build for me

I love the free build

[livid veldt]

I just reported this bug. Anyone using a PC and controller to build corvettes?

I've run into this about 10 times now. I've boiled it down to being about changing part colors. I use a controller (Dual Sense) wired on PC and when I go to change color of a selected part, make the change, then hit the TRIANGLE (Xbox controller = Y) button to get back to the ship and select the next part – eventually it seems to lock me out in a manner where the controller and mouse+keyboard still work to move the camera in build mode BUT none of the controller buttons or kbd ESC or TAB or whichever will get me to a menu – I am locked eternally able to move the camera but cannot get out of build mode or do anything in build mode – so I have to ALT-F4 out of the game.

I cannot reproduce this when I use keyboard and mouse to build (I've never done that before these 9 years, far preferring the controller).

I've attached a video where this happens on the first try of coloring an item, but usually it's after 2-3 items have been colored, then it locks me out. This is very frustrating and seems dangerous, having to kill the app risking a save being underway at the time.

[distant spruce]

What’s this?

-# sorry I dropped all quests to build corvettes

[livid veldt]

I have been playing this game for over 9 years. I'm grinding for a number of things regularly, but I don't need the added challenge of finding corvette parts and trading to get what I need etc. esp given that I am not so great at designing corvettes. I turn Free Crafting on in my save when I am building corvettes and have not looked back. Right now there aren't that many parts, as well -- I don't need to limit it further.

That is not a gameplay driver that adds enjoyment for me. Making the best Corvette I can, is.

[kind glacier]

how many tech slots can a corvette have?

[cursive lark]

Deadeye cannon, expedition reward

[muted glacier]

Comes with a mandatory space shotgun tech

[gloomy scaffold]

Tech slots for corvettes are similar to other ships, meaning 6 rows with 10 slots in each row, for a total of 60 slots.

[weak badge]

Which one better

[pseudo charm]

Aren’t they the same ship?

[limpid karma]

reactors behind the wings

[lean hare]

I recently craft this.

[kind glacier]

i wish corvette stats weren't so bugged. i lost damage potential when i upgraded from C to B (from 157 to 133), and now when i logged back into the game, somehow, without making any changes or removing any weapons, i went down from 133 to 83 dmg. wtf is going on

and yes. i didn't remove any weapons

[swift mist]

that has a nice silhouette

chasing numbers in corvettes right now feels so pointless to me because that can just happen

[raven rover]

thats why i dont bother at all with the tech

[raven rover]

Yeah same

But do yall feel the same thing as me? A 200 maneuverability corvette actually moves fine

I CANNOT use a normal starship with that low of a maneuverability

But with corvettes idk, un upgraded and only with that 200 maneuver

Feels fine

[smoky dawn]

Ok y’all I need help… which of these do I bring to the corvette meetup tomorrow

Gun-thing, bird, fighter or octagon… I’m stumped

[raven rover]

1st one

Looks unique

[wraith quiver]

what time is it tomorrow anyway

[smoky dawn]

10 AM eastern I believe

[wraith quiver]

oh dang

really is corvettes n coffee lol

[smoky dawn]

Wait no. Sorry. 11 eastern. It’s 10 central

[raven rover]

i might bring my newest one

[wraith quiver]

oh ok cool

[raven rover]

But itd be too laggy

[weak badge]

Same ship idea but I made 2 different models

[swift mist]

where can I read about this meetup

[raven rover]

man i rly need to make a normal 100 cap corvette

[smoky dawn]

Ace & Maverick on YouTube, he’s gonna post the location of it sometime soon. It’ll start at 11 AM eastern

I went last week. Great thing to attend if you’re looking for inspiration

[cobalt flame]

I only have 3 Vettes that reached the 100 cap. The others are well under it.

[smoky dawn]

Yeah I’m starting to lean towards that one. It’s also my newest. Either that or the bird tbh

I’ll probably start with one and then switch to the other at some point during the event

[raven rover]

if youre resummoning ships

It might not show up

[swift mist]

that sounds awesome. Wouldn't there be a cap on how many people can show up though?

[raven rover]

32

[smoky dawn]

I didn’t have problems with it last time.. idk if it’s because I swapped them at the space station or not

[raven rover]

wait is ace&mav on pc or consolem

?

If console then itll be only 16

[raven rover]

Oohh thats good to know

[smoky dawn]

I think he’s on console.. YouTube description says playstation

[raven rover]

Oh damn

Should get someone on pc then to host it

But 16 alr looks laggy enough for him

[smoky dawn]

True..

Tbf it’s a lot to load in

Still cool to see all the different designs tho

[raven rover]

Now i don feel good bringing in my modded corvette

Its at 260 ish rn

[swift mist]

lol I was wondering if he put like any restrictions on what people can bring

[smoky dawn]

Oh geez.. is that bigger than the Bowie you brought last week?

[raven rover]

No, bowie is much more complex

Its the orange one you saw

[smoky dawn]

As far as I’m aware he just doesn’t want any bases around the meet site. They’ll add more lag on top of the corvettes

[raven rover]

When we did that small meetup with goat

[smoky dawn]

Ohhh that one!

[raven rover]

But i changed around a lot of stuff

[smoky dawn]

That thing is menacing at night holy

I still need to try angling things vertically.. I have a few ships it could help out visually

[pliant sparrow]

Lemme see the front

[idle pilot]

Sentinel

[pliant sparrow]

LEMME SEE THE FRONTT

[raven rover]

GIMME A SEC IM LOGGING IN

[pliant sparrow]

GAH

[raven rover]

Siiiiickkk

@pliant sparrow

[pliant sparrow]

oh my god

I was curious when I saw the top down photo

and was like “wait a second..”

I love how you designed the rear wings

This is like the chad of all roach designs

[raven rover]

thaaankss

[pliant sparrow]

Interesting how the ship trails go diagonal too if you glitch-angle em

[raven rover]

Yup

[pliant sparrow]

big foil

[raven rover]

i might try sharpening the back wing

To match the bottom wings

[shut mango]

Holy guacamole now thats some excellent improvements. Slaps hood State of the art right there

[swift trail]

Eyyy I’m on Aurelis prime with the largest corvette I think is even possible 😂 dude is on about putting a race track on it actually insane

[shut mango]

One of the many reasons it would be great if we could save blueprints, with such complex builds the further you progress it the easier it is to wreak it trying to change something up. Frankly kind of limits are creativity

[shut mango]

The gun-thing, you do know thats its name now though right?

[swift trail]

This is this dudes ship ….

[smoky dawn]

Better than its previous name at least… the thingamabob

[shut mango]

Dang it i just had to open my mouth, the thingamabob is an epic name haha

[floral berry]

Someone gotta recreate the thingamajigger

[smoky dawn]

I only called it the thingamabob when it looked like this though

It grew out of that phase once I edited it

[shut mango]

Thats menacing, fine looking sentinel ship I could see warping in as some sort of mini boss

[shut mango]

Well thats fair it has indeed evolved so to should its name

[runic bluff]

Do eet

[smoky dawn]

I originally wanted to have a similar name for its second iteration, but “doohickey” didn’t fit the more serious look…

[shut mango]

We can bring the racetrack to you (not liable for any pc melting)

[shut mango]

Gun-thing gives off a serious aura for sure lol

Any argument can be ended by asking if you need to bring out your Gun-thing haha

[smoky dawn]

Oh shoot I’m gonna get caught!!

[shut mango]

I just hope Gun-things are allowed at the meet up

[smoky dawn]

I’m sure it’ll be fine..

Everyone’s gonna be chilling and then all of a sudden PHASE BEAM GO 🟩 🟩 🟩

[shut mango]

Real time american reenactment

[smoky dawn]

True..

Speaking of, I could totally recolor this to resemble a bald eagle

If I reallly wanted to

[shut mango]

It was worth all the watch lists im now on

[smoky dawn]

Sentenced to a week in New Jersey

[shut mango]

You did not haha

[swift trail]

They keep making it longer …..

[remote cape]

I think that could look pretty good. But I don't think there's a dark brown color.

[smoky dawn]

Bro are they trying to make Noah’s ark or something??

That’s a giant corvette

[smoky dawn]

There is. But it has the orange secondary color with it. I’d need to replace some parts that show the orange secondary

[limpid karma]

what do you guys think of this

[swift trail]

I have no idea at this point 😂 about an hours worth of building ago they said they where gunna stick a racetrack on there but now I think it’s a tower a babel situation

[limpid karma]

this other picture is helpful to understanding the ship

could the wings be longer or are they good as is

[pine loom]

@fervent mist

[fervent mist]

Ooooooo

That’s pretty good

[shut mango]

Like the shape and the thrusters though it would be a pain always having to jump getting inside

[limpid karma]

on a planet you cant even jump through the hole

and i have stick drift so i constantly fall off the platform

[swift mist]

at first glance, I thought it was a big bulky engine that just happens to have a hab attached to its underside

[shut mango]

Maybe you could build the entry into the wings? Would make for an interesting challenge

[limpid karma]

i have no idea how i could do that

[shut mango]

I believe in you

[limpid karma]

i dont

the bottom part of the ship is multiple habs stuck inside of each other

[shut mango]

Well i dont think you really need to do anything with it i dig it as is

[limpid karma]

i like to start with a shape in mind and then add ship aspects to it

if you start with the idea of making a ship rather than a shape it has to be a purpose built ship

[shut mango]

This one started as an idea putting the cargo containers underneath then just organically grew from there

This is how it started

[dusk reef]

making a sorta food truck-like ship. Im calling it “The Galactic Caravan Café”

Ignore how dark it is the camera mode hates me

[limpid karma]

looks like that one halo ship

[swift mist]

that's a cool concept! Does it have a dining room?

[dusk reef]

soon but not yet, im trying to figure out the whole layout right now

you can kinda tell where its going to be by the windows though

[shut mango]

There are a lot of halo ships but its funny you say that because the pic of the ship returning to Reach after the end credits is the kinda style i had in mind, a sort of fusion of unsc and covenant design

[swift mist]

that's real neat. like a space Baratie

[dusk reef]

How does one achieve this

it looks awesome

[shut mango]

Thanks, its from having no life lol

[dusk reef]

[limpid karma]

creative mode maybe

[shut mango]

The current version is the Mk4 so its been through a few iterations, ive learned a few tricks along the way like placing the deco pieces on the outside for awesome greeble effects

Its normal mode hit the parts limit then switched to deco

[dusk reef]

i only really play creative or custom i like being able to build and explore without any limits

feels like im cheating the game tho :(

[dusk reef]

ooh

[swift mist]

yeah there's no way I'm RNG farming for corvette parts

[dusk reef]

i hadnt even thought about using deco on the outside

[shut mango]

Placing windows in the deco mode will save you on parts as well

[limpid karma]

i dont like that you cant just straight up buy certain parts

[shut mango]

Nothing wrong with that

I just farmed for a few hours and that gave me all the parts i needed because you can just trade for anything you dont have

[limpid karma]

the trading is frustrating with stick drift

[shut mango]

You can get real crazy with the deco parts, doesn't even really lag my game or anything even though im probably close to 200 parts if deco counted

[remote cape]

I think decorating is worse with it

[shut mango]

Bummer, could always hit up the Hello game's suggestions box

[swift mist]

gotta get a hall effect controller. My last official xbox controller was more expensive and lasted a year before developing stick drift

[shut mango]

Even on keyboard ive always thought the ui was a little clunky

[maiden wyvern]

My attempt at the Millenium Falcon. All in all, I think it came out well. 100 parts are not enough lol

[shut mango]

Nice looks good, i like how you used the cargo links on the sides. Would be nice maybe later down the line when they get the corvettes in line though i doubt it

[maiden wyvern]

We don't talk about the port side of the ship. That's a lot offset bs i had to deal with XD

[shut mango]

Offsets are great though lol

[maiden wyvern]

True, but they cost a lot of parts in the overall build to keep, especially if you want the vents to point the right way

[shut mango]

More situational but its worth it

[limpid karma]

my stick drift is worse than yours is, i promise you that at the extremes, decorating is not that bad

[vocal plinth]

looks cool

[lament abyss]

@vocal plinth Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[hexed thicket]

Figure this is enough engine for a corvette this size?

I started it as a testbed for some thruster placement ideas, but then it sort of evolved into my primary ship.

[primal lava]

Yeah that's awesome!

[hexed thicket]

Some of the parts, I've noticed, really seem like they've been designed around half-grid placement. Like the engine cowlings and other "half-width" bits. So maybe the things we're achieving with the offset glitch aren't really meant to be glitched at all.

[primal lava]

Like these are my primary nacelle things

It's great that you found a way to make it look good - I haven't had any luck with something larger than this

[lethal lotus]

Should i remove the top beam?

also, is there any way to move an entire corvette upwards? i needed extra space, so I built underneath the space station, but now it looks completely ruined in the space anomaly

[trim crest]

How did you even make those parts vertical? Or are they joints...?

[lethal lotus]

i used the internal stairways + habs

[vocal plinth]

i think taking that thing into the anomaly would bug out most players in your session too, no? it looks like it has a lot of parts

[lethal lotus]

Its part count is only slightly over the limit, so it doesn't bug out public lobbies

[vocal plinth]

ah cool

thats nice to know

i wonder if they are planning an optimisation pass for the anomaly soon?

[fathom badge]

You having issues with yours? I built mine pretty much exactly same. Just compared the 2 and they’re almost identical but I have major issues with mine trying to enter space station/land on planets etc

[maiden wyvern]

Mine gets Thanos'd whenever I land or summon it on my Freighter

[fathom badge]

Haha sweet so it’s not just me then 🤣

Must be all the offsetting we had to do, that was madness trying to figure it all out

[maiden wyvern]

The vent offsets look great, but the game doesn't like it XD

[raven rover]

Ooohh dammnn that looks siiickk

Tactical falcon

[fathom badge]

Yeah first time going into space station was hilarious, just as I was about to land it kept going and flew straight through the back end of station hahaha 🤣

[maiden wyvern]

I had a lego version to work off on. So it did help XD

[raven rover]

[maiden wyvern]

Mine only problems is on the Freighter XD

[raven rover]

One time i saw a falcon with a lot exterior base parts

Damn it looked clean asf but i imagine the effort that mustve took

[maiden wyvern]

All day ;-;.

I did mine over 3-4 hours XD

[raven rover]

Oh i found it

[raven rover]

Niceee

[orchid valve]

so just finished building this following a youtube vid( with some of small modification of my own) but now for some reason i cant access the rest of my ship, even when i put a stairwell, it doesn't connect properly. Does certain hab modules matter when building? I understand that you cant walk through hull connectors, but i figured you should be able to walk through and connect habs.

[maiden wyvern]

If I have to guess, it's because you're on the cockpit level or the deck just above it. The crosswalk deck with the windows need a ladder inside to reach on the deck above the cockpit deck

Actually there's 4 levels. Not enough ladders used, ig

[maiden wyvern]

You need to manually add it in the basebuilding mode while on foot inside it

Just make a sure a hab overlaps flush with another below/above it with no offsets

From what I can tell you need to add your ladder directly in the space next to your cockpit

[orchid valve]

i figured it out, i just had to desummon the ship and resummon it, still a few bugs but i am now able to connect stairwells, thanks for the tips tho

[maiden wyvern]

Also I'm about to make something similar now. You inspired me with that XD

[orchid valve]

all i did was look on youtube lol, but glad i could help

[orchid valve]

i did change the windows so there could be more of a view

[mild stratus]

Looks like the sister ship of my ship

[rocky ginkgo]

Do i need aqua jets on the corvette?

[hoary agate]

Will u try to land on water?

[mild stratus]

You only need aquajets if your landing on water otherwise no you don't need them

[limpid karma]

on a corvette which can hover above any surface anyways

whats the point

[mild stratus]

Some people like to land there corvettes at there bases and when corvette landing pads come more people will probably land them like who really wants to hunt for the teleporter all the time

It'd be better if the teleport put you in the cockpit tbh

[rocky ginkgo]

exactly\

BUT

you cannot call it over the water without aqua jets

so there is that

[limpid karma]

simply just fly into space with the jetpack and call it there

[hardy oracle]

That doesn't sound simple!

[limpid karma]

but i said it so simply

[mild stratus]

@hardy oracle hey can I get your opinion on something

[hardy oracle]

Sure!

[mild stratus]

What do you think about these shield generators slightly buried inside the ceto reactors? I wanted to add something more but I'm not sure if they look stupid there or not@hardy oracle

[hardy oracle]

It's pretty good. But I think the animations would bother me there. I think you did a pretty good job avoiding clipping but the animation will still make those things clip repeatedly into solid metal. Did you flip one of them using the ladder/hab trick or are they both rotating in the same direction?

[hexed thicket]

The reactor casing spins, so I prefer not to embed anything into it, or embed it into anything that doesn't look like it would theoretically let it spin. So the vertical shield gen spires do kind of conflict with that. They do look pretty neat statically.

[mild stratus]

Same direction

[mild stratus]

Me with two more guns embedded in the front of the ceto reactor 😅
