@hardy oracle do you think 4 rockfellers is to much ontop?

[hardy oracle]

There are some cart wheels among corvette decor

[hardy oracle]

Not too much, that looks great!

[mild stratus]

@hardy oracle thanks just playing around seeing what I can change to make it more interesting etc

[kind glacier]

guys... i think i might be going overboard with my ship

my ship will have 9 levels

6th deck - ground lvl entrance
5th, 4th and 3rd will be for different ameties (crew's quarters, brig, medbay etc)
2nd deck - engines deck/room
main deck - armory and tech bay
01 lvl - cockpit, bridge kitchen, control room, relaxation room for the bridge
02 lvl - captain's office, room and bathroom

[flint plover]

guys i need some advice for finishing these wings. I need to fill in the last big gap but i don't know what i want to do with it 😅 Any idea is welcome

[flint plover]

ok i need to see that!

[kind glacier]

still work in progress. i'm trying to build a plan in google sheets right now to see where each room and corridor will be

i just made a skeleton outer shell to get the inside space set in stone

i will probably need at least 2 more days to finsih placing everything after i make the plan

[high tendon]

Can anyone help me, trying to add more tech slots on my corvette but haven't a clue how to

[kind glacier]

use the wing modules with the hover thrusters

[kind glacier]

something like this

[flint plover]

mm worth a try, thx

[flint plover]

just like a normal ship, you can upgrade it and add storage at the back of a space station

[high tendon]

Does this also work in the expedition corette one?
Trying to find a pirate system and wanted to add a economy scanner to find one

[flint plover]

yeah i assume so

[high tendon]

Kay thanks bud, need to grind some nanites now xD

[flint plover]

yeah this actually seems to work well 🙂 thanks a lot! Though i don't like how they clip through the ground so i'm gonna try placing them upside down. Wish me luck lol

[kind glacier]

it's fine. you will be in the air for most of the times anyway

[flint plover]

aw mannnn habs really don't like being placed upside down

[jaunty mural]

incase you find yourself stranded on a water planet with no ships that have aquajets

[wraith quiver]

what are the glyphs for the corvette meetup

[smoky dawn]

It’s gonna be here (Euclid galaxy)

[hardy harbor]

I got lost around my shipa few times and remebered what they do IRL about that. Next thought though - shame we can't recolor existing lights on parts

[livid veldt]

Here is a video I capture of the corvette building using a controller complete lockout that happens to me consistently. Has anyone else seen this?

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.

I reported the bug with vid.

Does NOT happen when building with a KBD + mouse.

[hardy harbor]

FOr me int that case game knocks me out of editing mode and saves ship

(PC, kvm

[wind glade]

This is as close to the original as I can make it.
-# Far Citizen ˸ Elite Mining

[tawny frost]

Looks sick

[raven rover]

@wraith quiver you at the meetup?

[hardy oracle]

The meetup is a bit overpopulated, not sure how many separate instances there is but at least 3

[raven rover]

yeah

[hardy oracle]

Not seeing anyone using the new colors, I thought they'd be pretty popular

[twin musk]

My various designs

In order from top to bottom. ECS Crimson Wanderer, ECS Royal Wayfinder, ACS Obsidian Scourge, and ECS Explorer

[smoky dawn]

Are you there? If so I could join your lobby

[raven rover]

Im there

But i think im not at his session

[smoky dawn]

I was in his session earlier but eventually he moved to a different one to see more ships

[raven rover]

Oooohh

Did he see yours?

[smoky dawn]

Yeah

He saw the bird and the octagon

[raven rover]

Ooohh

[twin musk]

Thay orange one is impressive, I'm trying to figure out how he did the two ringlets offset and angled up and in at the back

[raven rover]

Thats mine

I used a mod to angle the parts but its def doable in vanilla

Just harder to do

[twin musk]

All the better, that thing is seriously impressive

Gotcha

[raven rover]

Thaaankss

[twin musk]

I've only just started messing about with shifting things off the grid, thats a whole other level though

What's the peice count on her?

[raven rover]

About 250 ish

Last time i checked

[twin musk]

Wow

[raven rover]

Now its probably 270ish

Ill optimize it later

[twin musk]

I dont think my pc could handle more than 130-150 pieces without crashing lol

[vocal plinth]

oh please dont take that to anomaly lol

you'll melt people's PC

[raven rover]

Still tinkering with the overall shape

[raven rover]

😔

[twin musk]

Yeah, I haven't been doing nodding because my pc will start crashing every 30 seconds

[raven rover]

im happy that mine still runs great

Only like 10 fps dip

[twin musk]

I wish 😭

[scenic slate]

someone else think 60 tech slots is too low for corvettes?

[vocal plinth]

considering maxxing out a build without breaking build limits is causing anomaly issues, no, not really lol

[hardy oracle]

Maybe, but there is a bit of fun to be had with trying to puzzle out how to fit everything in. It generally does mean restricting yourself to a single weapon if you want to max every system out though

[vocal plinth]

not until its optimised a bit more i think

[scenic slate]

i mean, we already capped in the exosuit, now the corvette

[wind goblet]

I build my first corvette recently, after finding lots of parts from buried stuff, and its great however i've got an issue where in third person, the weapons shoot dead straight right where the 'crosshair' is, however as soon as i go into first person they're way off to the side, shooting in all sorts of directions which im sure you can imagine is super helpful when trying to take down sentinels. anyone know why, or how to fix it?

[scenic slate]

weps bugged rn

here they work better in 3rd person

all turrets shot at once

[wind goblet]

right okay, so i just need to wait for an update as opposed to do anything then

[scenic slate]

wait some bigbrain response, but far i know, yea

[wind goblet]

alright, lovely thank you

[scenic slate]

my last try with vette tech, gave up hyperdrive, and jsut 1 gun, still cant fit all figures

[exotic spruce]

I wish when people talk about offsetting with the rockhopper they used the word STARBOARD 😇

[kind glacier]

my ship is big but that doesn't mean it's modded. okay... my ship is modded but not because it's big. yes, i have the mod to go over the 100 parts limit and to have a longer deck, BUT, i could do this even without mods. it just won't be a pretty looking ship xD

i just want a specific type of body so i had to mod it

[vocal plinth]

yeah i mean, first time i tried taking my corvette into the anomaly it didnt go well, and mine is quite tiny

just a big starship essentially

[kind glacier]

the thing is, you can fuck up people's pc even without mods by bringin in a perfectly vanila ship, but with a s hit ton of decorations in it. so... yeah. i don't think just because a person modded his ship, he shouldn't automatically bring it onto the anamaly. it's a case ny case situation

but yeah. i will do my best not to forget about it and go into the anomaly by mistake lol

i will make a 2nd smaller corvette and have it act like a shuttel to go inside the anomaly

xD

[scenic slate]

yea, the vette parts cap is dumb if its about hardware, since the base parts inside vette is "uncapped"

wish it was like 150 thou

[kind glacier]

i wish it was 200

[raven rover]

i wish it was too

But a lot of players are going to be mad

Thats just how it is

[kind glacier]

or at least, give more specific parts and bigger ones too so we won't have to place 4 blocks to cover an area. we could just place 1 4x4 block and that wouldn't be as demanding

[raven rover]

i just made mine hollow

[kind glacier]

and by more specific parts i mean, more corner connections and angles so we don't have to glitch in 2 pieces in the same spot to make a seemless corner

[torn mirage]

I hope they add sentinal corvette parts in the near future

[raven rover]

they will (i hope so)

[smoky dawn]

RETURN OF THE SNING (snail king)

I love corvette meetups

[raven rover]

Man i cant join you 😭

[torn mirage]

The idea is amazing, sentinal ships look cool

[wraith quiver]

ah crap i missed you zycrom i ended up making breakfast

building another ship now

[hardy oracle]

On the other hand, I wish I could limit visible ships to only those with 50 pieces or less. I've got no real interest in seeing the big monsters. They're just clogging up bandwidth.

[wraith quiver]

well editing an old one

[raven rover]

yummers

[smoky dawn]

Sorry I logged off. Got hungry

[torn mirage]

I just built another too corvette and it looks weird

[raven rover]

ooh can i go there?

[balmy cedar]

I finally did it

I achieved Peak

A republic LAAT

Now to make it fly less like a brick that my neighbor heaved at my head last Friday

[tardy bear]

Does anybody have extreme lag when moving a hab? 🫤

[outer glen]

How are people making such pretty ships? All mine are bulky and ugly

[raw wraith]

Thoughts on dazzle camo?

I'm trying it out but I don't wanna slap on a couple of hundred stripes only to delete them later.

[raw wraith]

Lots and lots of practice.

[swift mist]

build smaller and use less habs

[outer glen]

I'm not using a ton of habs atm

But to run good parts it becomes ugly

[swift mist]

you can hide those parts so they don't alter the silhouette of your corvette

[raw wraith]

In that case, use more parts if you want to hide those things.

For example

This looks like the fuselage opens up. It is also hiding a reactor.

Bigger builds can hide more parts. Smaller builds have to incorporate the silhouette of parts into the design somewhat.

[hardy oracle]

You can fit every single tech module inside the space of a single hab if you're willing to use enough offset glitches

[swift mist]

exactly, mine is smaller so I had to fuse parts into my reactor to blend it better with the rest of the ship

[raw wraith]

Luckily Medusa has a versatile shape and collision box.

[devout dagger]

Pirate ship i made that i found on youtube. Not decorated yet

[raw wraith]

4 reactors total make up this spinal weapon XD

[raw wraith]

That looks good.

[devout dagger]

Appreciate it! The dude had a very thorough guide on it and i like how it looks. Just gotta add railings and a bunch of flags and decorations and what not

[raw wraith]

I will say the torpedo launcher might look better if it was under something instead of on top, though.

Might just be personal preference, but the way HG designed it doesn't look as good as it should resting on something.

[rustic vine]

currently all my weapons on my corvette arent working and just shooting completeley away from where im aiming except for my phase beam

[raw wraith]

First person?

[rustic vine]

yes

[raw wraith]

Yeah, it's a bug that came out this patch. First person weapons on ships are borked.

[rustic vine]

dang

[devout dagger]

I'll definitely give that a shot. Will have to find a place to put it after im done cooking. Appreciate the input my guy.

[tardy bear]

Fail repeat fail repeat etc ... 😄

[outer glen]

What's the best way of getting parts? Trading for them?

[raven rover]

find a moon/planet with salvageable scrap

Moon with salvageable scrap is the fastest way

[outer glen]

Hadn't realized there were moons

[raven rover]

Bcs its smaller, the diggable points are much closer

[raw wraith]

Latest iteration turned out nice

[remote cape]

Very nice 👍. How is it flying in the cockpit view?

[raw wraith]

Looks alright. I added some red lights to the bridge so it's... a mood in the cockpit.

[remote cape]

For some reason those lights like to turn off on me. I can turn them on again by using the build menu, but I don't know why they turn off like that.

[raw wraith]

Huh... yeah I heard some people are experiencing that. Some aren't. Not quite sure why.

Many, I wish we could put an actual NPC on our corvettes.

[hardy oracle]

There are mods for that, if you want it enough

[sick kayak]

"and this is where I'd put my prisoners, if I had any!"

[sleek oasis]

anyone knwo what part was used here? it creates a few arrow tips

[abstract crow]

Might just be the engine's strut thing. The part that attaches to the ship.

[sleek oasis]

no

[swift mist]

thermal grille

[sleek oasis]

thats it

thanks

[raw wraith]

Actually I have imprisoned players. They interacted with the chair in there and... well...

[sleek oasis]

perfect, hard to find considering it's not on the image itself lol

[swift mist]

nice. yeah you have to flip it upside down to see those arrows

[devout dagger]

Is this one of those yellow ships from the phantom menace?

[sleek oasis]

looks really good the way it connects to engines

[sleek oasis]

its a n-1 starfighter, personally im making the mandolorian's version

[devout dagger]

Can you please send me a link fo build one? I need that holy shit

[sleek oasis]

I don't really have a link sorry

[balmy cedar]

Anyone know how I could improve this thing?

[sleek oasis]

you can find some on youtube if you search nms n-1

[balmy cedar]

I don't know a good radar dish piece

[devout dagger]

Appreciate it! Didnt know if anyone had built one yet

[neat cypress]

So finally I got it only Corvette for this event. Should I upgrade every time I am at a SS and have better upgrades?

Just did the salvage corvette mission

[solid bane]

How does one delete a corvette

[hexed thicket]

Sell it to an NPC.

[sleek oasis]

how's it looking?

[lime ingot]

i dont get how you guys make such good looking ones haha

sitting here struggling

[hexed thicket]

Structurally, no clue. But it could use some massive painted decals to pretty it up.

[sleek oasis]

the entrance to this is so fucked lol

[hexed thicket]

I don't know where the entrance is, but if the space behind the cockpit is a walkway, an access ladder there will make entering and exiting it a breeze.

[solid bane]

But I wanna keep fhe parts

[hexed thicket]

Strip, then sell.

[solid bane]

Thx

[neat cypress]

I`ve clean forgotten. If I put my ship, MT,suit, upgrade modules beside each other and none are Supercharged, with it increase numbers on any of them? Example: Photon A module next to regular photon nodules

[hexed thicket]

The basic set of seven parts is like 7-8mil, the corvette itself has a trade-in price of like 30mil, you'll turn a profit easy. :)

[sleek oasis]

no

[lime ingot]

how do you get into free build?

[balmy cedar]

Probably

It is the millennium falcon afterall

I think if I made it dirtier...

Then here's this guy I've been working on

I haven't been able to do the wing ball things

But

It is an LAAT

[lime ingot]

are you using mods to build?

[balmy cedar]

Mods?

I'm on Xbox

I don't get that

[lime ingot]

I dont understand how you guys are clipping things 😅

[balmy cedar]

Nothing but vent abuse

[lime ingot]

vent abuse?

[balmy cedar]

You use the small open vent

Place it on the side of a hab

Delete the hab

Place a new hab under the floating vent

It'll now be off-centre

Then. Well, the sky becomes the limit

[crisp merlin]

Woah magic

[balmy cedar]

Black magic

Voodoo even

[lime ingot]

what about clipping on top? I want to clip something onto this to cover it up

[balmy cedar]

That's... Well. I'd have no idea for that

I tend to go glitchless with most of my ships

[balmy cedar]

Man Gunter has such a cute profile image. Is that from something?

[lime ingot]

struggling so hard to get something looking good that has all the stats lol

[balmy cedar]

The trick is to balance form and function

Cram as many reactors as you can in. And Arcadia heavies are the best

Tho, the other engines are good too imo

2,300ish is where corvette maneuverabilty begins to be a diminishing return

[hexed thicket]

There's two types of this what's called "offset build" method. One is diagonal offset, this takes any block part (walkway, any of the decorative block/girder pieces) and a mountable part (vent, cargo pod, even guns work). Attach the mountable to any of the four sides of the block, then attach a new block on the top or bottom of the mountable. You'll get a diagonal offset - half-grid up or down, plus half-grid in whichever direction you wanted.
The second type is linear offset, this takes any hab piece and the rockhopper fan module. The rockhopper has half-grid offsets when mounted on the right side of a hab, so you can slide it in half-grid increments, then re-attach the hab to the fan at the new location. You get a half-grid offset forward or back.

Chain and combine these, and you can effectively build at half-grid resolution, putting things where they wouldn't normally want to go.

[fiery willow]

How do people build so many cool looking corvettes? How much time does it usually take?

[balmy cedar]

Its like Lego, and it can take anywhere from 15 minutes to a couple hours

This is one of those ships that uses a few of those offset build tricks

It's not fast

But it looks slick as heck

[hexed thicket]

That's how you do things like hide engines inside cowlings, and stuff like that.

[fiery willow]

Wow that looks really nice

[balmy cedar]

I've found the antennas work best for that

[fiery willow]

Do you guys ever use references or is it all from imagination?

[balmy cedar]

Yes

I use other people's builds

And actual pics of the ships

[hexed thicket]

I just have the vaguest idea of what I want to do and no plan whatsoever.

[balmy cedar]

Like this for example. It used parts from a razor crest I copied, and parts off a tutorial

The tutorial made the LAAT giant

The other made a nice sized razor crest

[hexed thicket]

The ship I posted started out as a testbed for engine placement ideas.

That's how I found out that the basic thruster part looks really cool when combined with an upside-down backwards speedbird cowling at a down-forward offset.

You just try things out and build a library of ideas in your head, and then maybe it all becomes a ship in the end.

[fiery willow]

Got it thanks man

[fiery willow]

Hmm interesting, thanks

[neat cypress]

should we build a base during corvette mission? I`m not much on building tbh, but I have a planet just loaded with nutrino balls lolk

[sleek oasis]

looks good so far

[balmy cedar]

I need to give it an interior

And buff the stats

[sleek oasis]

anyone know if its possible to rotate the antenna?

[west geyser]

So you have your corvette, and you edit one of the long habs into two walkway Habs instead. The Habs edited were not part of the initial Hab structure that provided the 3 +3 storage slots, but after swapping the parts, one of the +3s has become the walkway +1 Hab instead. I have tried to move/replace long habs to "refresh" it but its still the +1. How do I undo this without gutting my vette?

I feel like its going to require demolishing habs ive decorated and thats going to make me sad

[lime ingot]

idk

[west geyser]

I feel like i need an actual starship mechanic sometimes

[balmy cedar]

Sadly no it is not possible

[limpid karma]

technically through rotated habs

[shadow garden]

yo does anyone know the biggest a corvette can be

[limpid karma]

100 parts

[shadow garden]

no i mean like build area

or a way to glitch more space

i wanna make this

[limpid karma]

i think you could do something like that

[shadow garden]

or a mini version

hm

[limpid karma]

it wont be the same but its a nice shape to go off of

[shadow garden]

yea

i wish there was more multiplayer pvp

cause a huge corvette battle would be awesome

and u could send ur frigates to fly around and shoot other players

[mild stratus]

Tinkered with my corvette some more added some parts at the back lemme know which version you prefer first 3 pics are currently look last 2 are how the top and back looked before

[soft yoke]

Yea I wanna know how too 😂

[west geyser]

The back kinda looks like a beast face to me, like even if you're chasing it, the beast is still facing you. I dig it.

[mild stratus]

Thanks I wasn't so sure at first but I think it kinda beefs the back of the ship up

[smoky dawn]

Corvette meetups are so much fun

Some photos from the one earlier today

So many people we had to put our ships in layers

[west geyser]

That purple bio-style one is siiiick

[smoky dawn]

Yeah I really liked that one as well.. I need to try it sometime

I’d like having a “living” corvette

[sleek oasis]

if only I could put the antennas at the back of the engines and the middle, it would be perfect

[mild stratus]

You probably could if u used offsetting

[swift mist]

#nms-showcase-corvettes message

[sleek oasis]

still don't know how tho

[floral berry]

Anyone thought of using the recharge reactors(I forget their name) as propellers or downward jets?

[inner mist]

How do I unlock circular parts for corvette?

[tough ocean]

Hey, everyone. I've been loving the Corvette building in the game, but every time I log back into my game, all of my Corvettes' Technology Modules seem like they played musical chairs when I was logged off and aren't in the same spots that I left them in. Has anyone else had this happen to them as well? And is there a solution to fixing this yet?

[alpine flame]

LAAT? I wanna see 😮

[balmy cedar]

I'll grab the vid

[balmy cedar]

Here's the one from the original vid.

Their's is bigger.

[blissful cape]

thank you @Eugene: M422-RY8B-NYEXE for giving me materials to make my first beautiful corvette

[balmy cedar]

You made the batwing dude

Sick

🤘

[alpine flame]

that's awesome I'd like to build that for myself

[balmy cedar]

And here's my version

[blissful cape]

it was pretty easy to find on youtube

[blissful cape]

thats sick

[balmy cedar]

I used a razor crest to do the front and the size

From another tutorial

Heck. I think I'll share how to create this thing, if I figure out how to do the glitches easier

I think I see ways to still improve mine yet

Unlike the tutorial I didn't use joint pieces

Just hyperdrive parts

I like my warps

[abstract crow]

This was my attempt at the LAAT tutorial.

I liked the design, but alas. Needed the storage space to build more large ships.

[alpine flame]

that looks really dope

are the glitches a PC only thing? 😮

[swift mist]

they aren't PC exclusive

[alpine flame]

ok thanks 🙂

[abstract crow]

Only part limit remover and larger build area are PC exclusive

[wheat jewel]

@shadow garden

[sleek oasis]

It's okay, it's how you use it

[balmy cedar]

The best frigate

[abstract crow]

Size doesn't matter.

Or so I'm told.

[twin wing]

Combat effective naval destroyer made using base complexity limit. My first attempt was a bit of a chode in the front so i gave it a bit more haul length and better frontal guns and armor without sacrificing aesthetics. Has the below decks areas for crew with barracks and mess hall. second deck just under captains cabin is a Engineering room with refineries and a laboritory. The main control tower in the super structure can be accessed via drop down ramp and features its own amenities with a captains cabin and mission room for briefings as well as easy access to the cockpit.

if you want to inspect in person ill give you my friend code

sorry for the shit image

[abstract crow]

Hmm... Now the internal debate is whether I should use inverted/regular wings for the straight sides of my ship design, or habs so I can have windows...

[limpid karma]

trole

[twin wing]

are you going for functionality or astetics?

if your not goinjg to be in those areas yourself very much then id go wings

[wheat jewel]

I can show it. I mean anyone can get it

[limpid karma]

what?

[twin wing]

hes not wrong pc is just easier to do those kinds of designs on

[abstract crow]

Form over function always, but it won't matter in the end. Wings are purely cosmetic with this design because it'll handle like a barge.

[twin wing]

theres so many designs i want to do from Eve Online but that part limit is just a bummer

[twin wing]

👍

[abstract crow]

You'll see what I mean when I get back to my PC. This thing is going to be another monster and hopefully my coup de grâce.

Taking everything I learned from my last few designs and hopefully combining them nicely. Two layers instead of three for the main section, shorter bow, longer midsection, different bridge design, more of a squared, narrower rear...

[shut mango]

Oh sweet is it the one you brought to the meet the other week?

[torn mirage]

Lol you guys make cool corvettes mine rn looks like a box lol

[abstract crow]

Don't dis the box

[torn mirage]

Lol

[twin wing]

want me to build you one?

if your on ps i can share play

[torn mirage]

Im xbox

[twin wing]

well i can do a guided build if you have the parts

[torn mirage]

Plus what i really wanna do is a challenge in itself

[twin wing]

gotcha

dont forget to show us when yur done

one day youll go from brick to dreadnaught class brick

[torn mirage]

My ideal corvette ship would look like a capital autophage ship but ive no idea how design one, I dont even know where to begin

I definitely need some kind of help figuring put the perfect autphage shaped ship lol

[mild stratus]

Yea it is oh and check it out she's been upgraded lol

[abstract crow]

So here's what I'm looking at. The second picture is the part of the ship where I'm debating what to do. Either I do that same setup, or use habs instead for extra window space.

[torn mirage]

How in the hell is that possible

If I tried it, it would refuse to let me do that probably lol

[abstract crow]

Size-size, it's not. But you can flip those wings I'm using as the sides without mods.

[mild stratus]

I think windows would look good but really you should do both and see which you like better ik it's time consuming but better than doing one thing and finishing the build only to realise u hate it

[torn mirage]

If thats possible I need to try it at some point lol

[abstract crow]

Swapping to habs would be a fairly easy fix if I hated the wings. Other way around, not so much. I also gotta take into consideration that I'm doing two layers of this.

[mild stratus]

I feel that I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out

[abstract crow]

Probably nowhere near as good as I want it to, lol. But I can always try again.

[mild stratus]

You just gotta keep at it and keep tweaking the design that's what I did with my daily driver and it just gets better and better

[abstract crow]

Problem with these grand designs is that tweaking them is almost impossible because of how many parts I'm throwing into it, and how many glitches I'm doing. Usually easier to start all over.

[mild stratus]

True ngl the next huge ship i see that has zero interior decoration.....imma throw a gek at it

[abstract crow]

You don't want to know the struggles of cleaning up the habs either. Half of them end up backwards and random parts stuck inside because of a misclick.

[summer goblet]

Can I delete the weapons in my technology slot on my corvette

[smoky dawn]

Lol get absolutely heightmogged

I knew my new ship was tall, but it didn’t look like it until I brought it to the meetup 😭

[shut mango]

Excellent looking good almost has a bit of pirate flare with the skull in front, we certainly have a preferred style

[mild stratus]

That's actually what I was going for i was like how can I make it look more like a rogue autophage commandeered a clean ship the answer was skull 😅

[shut mango]

Dude in the yt video of the meetup the other week somebody had an autophage torture chamber 😅

[smoky dawn]

They had a what??

[mild stratus]

WDYM😭😭😭

[smoky dawn]

[shut mango]

I shit you not lol ill find the video and time stamp one min

[shut mango]

Mission accomplished looks rad

[cobalt flame]

Finally found good use for those Autophage heads customization parts. And to put more greebles on my ship 😂

[elder iron]

Why do their lights look brighter than any other light piece i tried to use as corvette headlights?

[weak locust]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[cobalt flame]

Dunno, but I always found them too bright for at a base for some reason. They make good use on Corvettes, though.

Bit finicky to get them to point the right ways, though

[shut mango]

@mild stratus @smoky dawn Skip to 49 mins in 😂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dosnlukmruE&t=10541s

Its was fun recognizing a bunch of discord ships from part one and this one

[smoky dawn]

Oh my god 😭 😭

You weren’t lying, there really is an autophage torture chamber in someone’s ship

[shut mango]

I know its a travesty, i dont have anything against gek but this deserves a little flame stoking lol

[smoky dawn]

I didn’t recognize any from the discord this time unfortunately ☹️ but I did recognize quite a few ships from other sci-fi media which was really cool to see

[wraith quiver]

Was hella fun

I got sent to orbit like twice

Without my ship

[shut mango]

Ah bummer we still need a proper discord meet so peoples ships can load in properly, the little one with Zycrom was fun

[elder iron]

Id want to ride every single one, lol

[sleek oasis]

check this out @wraith quiver

[cursive lark]

I held one a couple weeks ago but I'm on a trip right now so can't do that :(

[shut mango]

Oh nice thats cool, i suppose it wouldn't take much if i was going to do one id probably wanna stream and or make a yt video out of it

[cursive lark]

I don't stream or do YouTube, I just said hey bring your corvette to these glyphs I want to see them and had like 5 people show up

[chilly valve]

zycrom did a ship meet without me??

that mf

[shut mango]

Thats fun, I haven't tried because id wanna make a little event out of it definitely the right occasion for it

[shut mango]

No worries lol it was kind of impromptu

[chilly valve]

no no , im still gonna heckle him about it

[shut mango]

What have i done 😭 haha

[chilly valve]

he just didnt want me to show up with my new hotness

[shut mango]

He'd fs be jealous im sure he'll never see us talking shit either lol, sick corvette though

[fallow plover]

what do yall think

[shut mango]

Is that just base game?

[shut mango]

Dig the wings they give it a interesting shape

[fallow plover]

the wings took me an hour and a half alone 🤣

[shut mango]

Worth it lol

[chilly valve]

define "base game"

[shut mango]

No mods

[chilly valve]

i have the complexity limit mod going but thats under the 100 limit

it even has an internal cargo bay for being so compact

[shut mango]

impressive, gonna have to get that and the rotation mod Zycrom uses at some point

[chilly valve]

theres a rotation mod?

i just glitch those angles lol

[shut mango]

glitching is to much of a pain lol, he would know more about it then me but i guess its just easier to get the weird angles

[chilly valve]

i mean him and i swap design ideas all the time , its really not that hard to achieve

he prefers wacky shit like this

[smoky dawn]

Oh my god I just had an incredible idea for my next ship…

[shut mango]

I suppose i use the adjacency one with ease all the time

[smoky dawn]

What if I tried to make this creature

[chilly valve]

👀

[smoky dawn]

I’d need to learn how to angle pieces vertically for the front end

Should be a fun challenge

[shut mango]

That would make for an interesting ship

[chilly valve]

might as well just own a nautaloid like me 😄

[shut mango]

Its not slimy is it?

[chilly valve]

its very slimy , wriggly even

[smoky dawn]

Btw is there a glitch for this? I can’t use mods due to console

[chilly valve]

very hard to do on console

[shut mango]

With the glitch building if it doesn't take more then a few steps i dont mind using it but anything past that i just cant be bothered, more power to the people with the patience though

[chilly valve]

i still have yet to see anybody else do a ship with bigger rooms

[shut mango]

Ive seen a few with the glitched base parts usually looks a little wonky in a good way but makes me wish they had more corvette parts to work with

More deco parts that work like the cabinets when placing but have more of an a exterior look would be sweet for greebles

[hallow verge]

I have been stuck at trying to replicate this corvette I saw on reddit but I refuse to give up

I don't even know where to start

but I saw a comment linking a corvette ship building guide that showed how to build a "live in corvette" that looks like that ship, but smaller?

[hallow verge]

I guess I could try building bits of it and extending the ship, kinda looks like what the guy did for that ship

This is the video btw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_Y8XuT_sd0

[hallow verge]

like if I compare them, it really does look like it has a very similar look. The tip is similar, the deck looks similar, the wings look similar. Only differences I see are that the cockpit is inside the ship, the bottom tip is pointy instead of having a window, there's no thrusters in the wings, and I guess it's a bit slimmer? but in the end it looks just... extended?

Do y'all think it's doable? Could I reverse engineer this ship and build it?

[hallow verge]

I really want something like it... I love hovercrafts, especially ones with a deck like that

[upbeat gust]

yall think i could turn this into a corvette?

[shut mango]

Nothing wrong with following guides if its something you wanna make then im sure you can figure it out, giving your own twist to it might result in something unique though so id say just go for it and see what happens

[calm cloud]

definitely doable

[upbeat gust]

hell yah

[shut mango]

Ya i think its doable you could get something close if you used the deco parts

[upbeat gust]

now to get the money to do it

😭

[upbeat gust]

such a cool ship

its this or the arcadia class jumpship from the same game

[shut mango]

Shouldn't be to hard you can just dig up all the parts you'll ever need with a few hours of grinding

[upbeat gust]

ive never grinded for corvette parts, no idea how you do that

digged*

[balmy cedar]

Hmmmmmm

[hallow verge]

True.... I'm just afraid of screwing it up cuz I have 0 faith in my creativity

[balmy cedar]

Space pirate ship?

Maybe I'll get quicksilver to get pirate sails

[shut mango]

If you have a shell of a corvette that can shoot you can fly around and just blast the dig sites

[balmy cedar]

Then I'll make the stupid ninjago ship

[upbeat gust]

i play this game too much

[shut mango]

you'll only need to hop out of the pilot seat now and again to scan

[balmy cedar]

Ahhh mods

[upbeat gust]

...what?

[balmy cedar]

The forbidden fruit of the PC masterrace

[upbeat gust]

its not a mod its literally just a model from another game, this isnt from nms at all lol

wrong comment

my comment

bruh

im special

[alpine flame]

that's a giant cannon on the front of that thing what the?

[upbeat gust]

engine

its made from god knows how much scrap metal and parts

[shut mango]

Screwups make some of the most beautiful pieces of art with enough effort

[upbeat gust]

more angles

[alpine flame]

what that's an engine? oh interesting that looks really long for an engine -_-

[upbeat gust]

oh its just the hull, needs to be aerodynamic as its designed to enter the atmostphere

[smoky dawn]

Do y’all see the vision

[upbeat gust]

im sorry i thought u were talking about the big ol mass on the side

[upbeat gust]

i mean
kinda?

looks cool nonetheless

[smoky dawn]

It’s hard to get the front without mods unfortunately (console) but we roll

[shut mango]

With the corvette you can get out of the pilot seat and scan for the corvette parts without landing then fly over to the dig site and shoot it

[upbeat gust]

ohh

what does the symbol look like?

[upbeat gust]

console gaming 🔥

i GOTTA get vr for nms cause i hear its CRAZY

[shut mango]

Coming along im looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the body segments

[calm cloud]

u could do a lot of destiny ships if u wanna learn how to bug parts and use decor items tbh

[calm cloud]

i really wanna remake the platinum sterling

[upbeat gust]

fire

[upbeat gust]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

i forgot that ship existed (i dont have it)

[calm cloud]

imo 2nd best looking ship in game

[upbeat gust]

rad

all black armoury stuff looks good

[calm cloud]

i might have a go at that later

[shut mango]

Just find a planet with salvageable scrap

[calm cloud]

i wanted to do thousand voices/karve of the worm but that might be too complicated

[upbeat gust]

oh definitaly

plus i dont know of any parts that are all

starry
and black
and eldritch

[calm cloud]

and yea for parts find a planet that has the gold wifi icons and farm em

[upbeat gust]

for those who dont know what that is

[upbeat gust]

gotcha

omg u could totally make a vimana junker in nms now that im looking at it

[calm cloud]

vimana looks like one of the base ships lol

[calm cloud]

fourth mark might be doable too

[upbeat gust]

maybe

[upbeat gust]

lol

[calm cloud]

imma go hop on and try the platinum starling

[upbeat gust]

i saw someone make this in nms

cant find the original reddit post but it was pretty close

[still raven]

trying to get my first corvette as quickly as possible, what type of corvette should i build tho? should i go for sum smaller or bigger? really liked the design of this, but is it actually good? https://youtu.be/JUJw1Ccj348?si=1Ln1SPIufiDeV3Nf

[smoky dawn]

THIS… IS ANOMALOCARIS‼️‼️
EARTH’S FIRST SUPERPREDATOR 🗣️ 🔥

Couldn’t use angle glitching/mods for the tail/ front end (console) but I used up all 100 parts and it turned out pretty well!

[limpid karma]

ambassador cockpit

[smoky dawn]

Oooh true… lemme see how that looks

[burnt lotus]

Do you got a video for this? I would love to build it!

[smoky dawn]

Yeah the ambassador cockpit looks so much better on it

It clips through the bottom tiles but it doesn’t affect anything function-wise

[weak locust]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[still raven]

does anyone have any cool ship ideas, or js cool looking corvette ships in general that are pre cheap too build?

[twilit quail]

Idk I just feel like if it only functions when you're landed it should just

Be a landing gear

[wraith quiver]

oh shit

damn Hell thats great

[twilit quail]

Honestly I think I'm gonna scrap this one .-.

[limpid karma]

theres not much that sets it apart from other ships

[twilit quail]

I'm not all too concerned with other people's ships, I'm a "there are many like it but this one is mine" kinda person

I'm just also over this landing gear issue 😔

[hallow verge]

Hey y'all, what piece is this at the very front?

[wraith quiver]

decoration screen

[hallow verge]

the corvette piece

[wraith quiver]

two of these upside down it looks like

[limpid karma]

id need to see it in context

[hallow verge]

hm...

[hallow verge]

That's all the context there is, grabbed it from a reddit post

I wanna make this

[hallow verge]

Don't have that piece, I'll trade for it and let ya know

[limpid karma]

its a nacelle diffuser

i think its called

[twilit quail]

I should make a big corvette... 🤔

[limpid karma]

all corvettes are big

[twilit quail]

Nu uh

[limpid karma]

focus on a good looking design is my opinion

[twilit quail]

The t u b e™ is peak efficiency

[limpid karma]

i made a tube

[twilit quail]

bigger tube.....

[limpid karma]

i think its one of my favorite ships of my own design

[smoky dawn]

Armored tube…?

With legs

[limpid karma]

as in not something i made using a reference image

[twilit quail]

Tube legs.....

And yeah, aerodynamics be darned, that is pretty nice

[chilly spruce]

Is there such a thing as a corvette build simulator

[twilit quail]

Why is everyone's tube green 🤔

[twilit quail]

You're better off just making a creative mode save and just going crazy

[limpid karma]

mines not only green

[chilly spruce]

Ah... ok...

[limpid karma]

it just looks green for some reason

its metallic cream

[blissful depot]

Something hits different about flying thru the galaxy on a imperial light cruiser vs my small sentinel ship

[hallow verge]

This is the ship front I wanna make...

this is how it's looking :<

I have no idea what's missing on the very front, it feels like there's an extra tiny piece in the middle, at the very front (bottom)

Can kinda see it in this angle

[blissful depot]

It’s to vesper diffusers that are glitch halfway thru

Two*

[hallow verge]

ok now that I'm looking at it again it feels even more off with what I have... the one's at the size also look smaller than what i have rn

[blissful depot]

I’ve done the same thing for a build

[hallow verge]

Yeah no it's definitely not a speedbird nacelle that goes on the side

??? grh I wish this build I wanna copy had a guide ;;

[hallow verge]

How do you glitch them??

[blissful depot]

Look up how to turn the habs 45 degrees and 90 degrees it shows you how

[tranquil hedge]

it is speedbird +2 elongated curved piece which name I forgot just check them one by one

[hallow verge]

using teh window technique thingy?

[tranquil hedge]

from the looks of it it might just be the same like the 2 big piece on the side but they are overlapping? if not then as before

[blissful depot]

Yea or if you use the duct vent you can move blocks up half n forward half block or sideways half block and up half

[blissful depot]

If you do the window technique a couple times before you do it for real it gets really easy to do

[hallow verge]

hm..

[hallow verge]

(just to let ya know that what's on the left is what I WANNA make, what's on the right is what I have rn, which is definitely the wrong pieces on the side)

[twilit quail]

Also worth noting a rockhopper prop on the right side of a walkway will let you move said walkway halfway forwards and backwards

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

[tranquil hedge]

I know, its not wrong. The two big side pieces are just clipping into the middle one thats why they dont look wide because half of them is not shown, covered by the middle piece

[hallow verge]

...ohhhhhh

ok I REALLY appreciate that tip cuz I was lost on what pieces to use

but now I'm lost as to how to clip the pieces on the side, and the ones at the very tip

[twilit quail]

Given the position of the two center pieces, that looks like its three walkways wide

[tranquil hedge]

probably just offset like make 2 habs at the back into the blue square and put the big curved piece

the more you play around with offset the more you know how to use them

I dont remember if that piece needs what I showed in the pic, or maybe a different method but you're gonna have to see

[hallow verge]

For sure. This is what I have rn, tryna figure out how to make the bottom part

this is what I wanna make

[swift mist]

this look close?

[tranquil hedge]

I think the middle part and the side goes a bit deeper otherwise, spot on

[lament abyss]

@tranquil hedge

No stickers in this channel please

[tranquil hedge]

[hallow verge]

Mmmm... no... I think those are the right pieces though, yeah, but the positioning is definitely different

like the other ppl said I think it's clipped

[hallow verge]

the side pieces, the speedbird nacelles, I think they're clipped halfway into the middle piece

[swift mist]

I'm comparing the side profile with what you posted

[hallow verge]

and the tip pieces, I think the vesper diffuser? they're also clipped a bit into the middle piece

[hallow verge]

yea on the side view it looks almost identical

[tranquil hedge]

just a little more offset in said direction

[hallow verge]

Exactly!

...so uh... how do I do that?

[tranquil hedge]

lets see if @swift mist try it first cuz im not in the game

[lament abyss]

@tranquil hedge

No stickers in this channel please

[tranquil hedge]

[hallow verge]

also how'd you get the vesper pieces to join like that,,,

[swift mist]

offsets

wanna hop in lfg2? I can share my screen

[hallow verge]

Ok yeah that's 100% it

I think

here's another angle of it

[hallow verge]

Would but honestly think I'm just gonna go sleep

boutta pass out

I've been at this for hours lmao

[swift mist]

oh the ones on the sides are actually just two more vesper diffusers

[hallow verge]

yeah I

I was just realizing that lmao

I was like "wait a minute..."

[hallow verge]

that looks even more accurate

so the only offset you had to do was for thei middle vesper parts, right?

to make them join like that, and to clip them into the middle piece a bit?

[swift mist]

yes you're correct

[hallow verge]

noted, thank u!

just gotta figure out how to do that, now...

ah screw this I'm going to sleep

thank y'all for the help!!

I'll continue trying to reverse engineer that huge ship bit by bit :3

gnnn

[swift mist]

good luck when you continue!

look up offset building tutorials they'll help

[tranquil hedge]

calling all autobots

[cinder crystal]

how do people build base parts outside their corvette? Just got a huge corvette with outdoor amenities but when I try to interact / add more stuff my build menu is empty

[tranquil hedge]

youre 'too far' get closer to the center and you should have the menu

@cinder crystal

[wintry lagoon]

Couldn’t get the head to the exact but it works lol

[livid ocean]

Is it possible for a corvette to have multiple cockpit if i am to make it pretty large? Also is there no other way to get corvette decoration other than salvaging?

[exotic spruce]

Beyond Bases mod

[raven rover]

can be done in vanilla too

Idk how tho

[blissful depot]

You just have to be within close enough range and enter free placement, I’m on console I do it all the time for my builds

[blissful depot]

To correct myself you have to be on the space station n not in your corvette builder menu just your decorations and be inside the yellow circle on the ground around your corvette

[misty raptor]

its basic but i think it looks cool for a corvette hauler

[arctic storm]

i adore the tunderbord peices. i love the [barely held together with ducttape and aluminum welds]

[hexed thicket]

That looks rather more like the ARM Commander to me. :P

[tranquil hedge]

never seen that before

where its from

[arctic storm]

so, i might be dumb, when im in build mode, my ship is layed out correctly, but when i go inside, its blocked off by walls. also, for some reason, my stairs dont reach to the floor.... am i dumb?

[mild stratus]

Oh shit mindflayers in nms

[mild stratus]

Definitely need to organise a small group meet up so we can check each other's ships out properly

[raven rover]

i thought you took a break from NMS ngl

Havent seen you online

[raven rover]

i see you

@chilly valve you gotta see this one in person fam

[flint plover]

There have definitely been a few! I also liked the idea so i'm working on one right now too. #nms-showcase-corvettes message

also, this ship in the screenshot above is dope af, damn

[kind glacier]

how do you guys cover the back and front sections of a hub? for example, if you want to have 2 habs next to each other, but you want to split them in the middle so you won't have 1 long corridor

[burnt fable]

any tips to improve this would be great, aiming for a pirate ship.. (i would love a tip for the sails!) also at my build cap or i would've done a lot more trimming.

[abstract crow]

There are better base decorations for the sails. No idea what they're called, but you can find photos of them in the corvette showcase

Alright. So which is the better option for the side of my ship? Option A: Habs for a flat side and windows. Option B: The wings for a more slender appearance.

[thorny fiber]

rotatable hub left and right dont connect right?

[mild stratus]

I think A looks good

[abstract crow]

I might actually do a hybrid of the two. First layer is wings, second is habs.

[cinder crystal]

I can't move/remove this damned thing, is there a way to do it?

[vocal plinth]

maybe delete and replace the habitation part itself?

or try getting up close and clipping into it, could just be that the selection box is covered by other objects' boxes

[cinder crystal]

couldn't do the clipping, had to just scrap the hab and redo. 🙁 thanks

[vocal plinth]

damn, that sucks - this is a chance to reimagine it though!

[raven rover]

try highlighting the parts that connect to the roofs

@cinder crystal

That worked for me

[cinder crystal]

will try it next time 🙂 thanks!

[kind glacier]

anyone with any ideas for this?

[vocal plinth]

could you not use joints as spacers?

so put:

[hab] [joint] [hab]

and have them connect via a third adjacent hab at the front, back or from the top or bottom?

like a square donut

or maybe i am misunderstanding what you mean

[fiery mica]

How do I upgrade my class of my corvette

[fringe stag]

Same place you upgrade legacy ships

[fiery mica]

Ah aight

[brisk flint]

(New to the game)I was wondering does anyone have any ideas on building corvettes? I want to do something similar to the freighters in size and length but my own spin on it. Kind of like a Flying Fortress type feel? Thanks in advance

[fiery mica]

Brother 75 million for B tier 😭🙏

[fringe stag]

???

To upgrade the tier is nanites
I think your looking at the storage/tech expansion, that’s units

[fiery mica]

Ah ye I see now

Well I need tech expensions 2 sadly

[fringe stag]

🫡🫡

[fiery mica]

Luckily I have 450 million units rn but damn

[abstract crow]

I think this is almost perfect. Some small things annoy me (that I can't fix), and I might make the bridge go up another layer, but this might be it.

[fiery mica]

Brother this thing about to handle like a planet

[fringe stag]

Now give it 6k manoeuvrability xD

[abstract crow]

You have no idea. I gotta use the editor to fix that because all the tech slots are habs because of a mod I have, lol

[kind glacier]

that's the plan. well... actually, since i have them covered anyway, i don't even need joints, i can just leave it open for performance reasons, but regardless of that, we still need a space in between them and i'm trying to see if i can do it with the hubs next to each other so they won't take that much space

[abstract crow]

I also need to test it in the anomaly to see if she'll lag everything. Surprisingly, there's not much lag when I select it.

[fiery mica]

The anomaly is so cheotic rn every 4 seconds a whole ass star destroyer pulls up

[fervent mist]

Is this good stats for a corvette?

Idk how to up damage tbh

[fiery mica]

" just slap it on " ah

[fervent mist]

Yeah I think if I upgrade my knife it’ll go up but overall are my stats good? I promise I’m not trolling im on switch 2 so I just got the corvette.

[fiery mica]

Idk my corvette is still at class C lol idk what an S tier should be like

[mild stratus]

It's not bad but you can definitely get better

[chilly valve]

wtf am i even looking at

[chilly valve]

its my flagship

[raven rover]

its this

[chilly valve]

what in the gundam franchise is that 😄

[raven rover]

LMAO

[chilly valve]

thats not a ship thats unicron

[chilly valve]

lol jesus

and how much interior space?

[raven rover]

uhhhhhh

[chilly valve]

😄

[raven rover]

6 habs

6 double

[chilly valve]

little habs?

[raven rover]

all in a straoght line

[chilly valve]

ah so you're flying a really decorative hallway

[raven rover]

yessir

[chilly valve]

i feel like thats an improvement

[raven rover]

nah bro its an downgrade

[chilly valve]

12 habs , 3 decks , internal cargo bay

really cramped

still cool , looks wild

[raven rover]

but ehh

[chilly valve]

im taking a break till they add more parts

[raven rover]

im just trying random shit now

[runic bluff]

THE BUG

[raven rover]

originally it was just 2 rockhoppers

0 even

[raven rover]

UGB

[long pawn]

It does! I like it.

[fervent mist]

Better where and how exactly?

[mild stratus]

With good x or s class upgrades and supercharged slots you can get your maneuverability anywhere between 2-5k hyperdrive drive between 1-3k etc it depends if your building a ship as your daily driver or just to show off

[long pawn]

Why would anyone think you were trolling? 🫤

Anyways, the best way to upgrade your damage is to add some other weapons like infra-knife, look for good upgrades in the stations, and put your tech in good order in the slots.

Sometimes, it's not just having the colors all lined up. Sometimes, it matters how they're lined up. I admit I don't know how it all works, in depth. I just keep moving stuff around until I get the best numbers.

As for your stats, they're a good start! Honestly, you have to be real lucky and have precisely the right equipment and a perfect super-charged slot layout to get some of the numbers you see here. Just keep hunting for upgrades in the stations!

[long pawn]

How did you manage to stay within the 100 item limit??? I'm impressed!

[fervent mist]

Idk, to me they seemed good so I didn’t want people think I was bragging. I just upgraded to a switch 2 and now have corvettes so idk what the baseline was for good stats. Just happy to know I made it work without any help.

[sage wolf]

Who says he/she did? Lol

[vagrant bluff]

is it possible to buy and sell these ships ?

i just got back to the game

[rare onyx]

i just built my first corvette but the weapons arent shooting where my crosshair is placed, anyone else having this issue?

[wraith quiver]

thing looks like a dragon idk

love it

[raven rover]

thaankss

[wraith quiver]

always looks beefier from the side lol the top view looks a lot slimmer

[raven rover]

yeah that ship really looks inconsistent from every angle

back side it looks like a bug

top side it looks like a jet

side view it looks like a fish/whale/dragon

[wraith quiver]

lmfao

very real

[raven rover]

😭

[wraith quiver]

same with my autophage fighter lol it looks how i want it to unless im in photo mode lmfao

[raven rover]

LMAOOO

[wraith quiver]

shit be tragic 🥲

[vagrant bluff]

hey so i just got back to the game and would love some help with the new ships

[raven rover]

what in the fuck

damn pic is not sending

[wraith quiver]

Welcome back James 🙂 ships brought me back too. you can start building corvettes in a space station. walk toward the exit and youll see a terminal for it! good luck have fun!

[raven rover]

like this angle

[wraith quiver]

dat ass

[raven rover]

bottom wings looks real funky

😭

[wraith quiver]

see i feel like learning the spinnning and rotating glitches would be hell for me

ships would come out looking like gokus hair.

[raven rover]

LMAOOOOO

you could just do some simple stuff

[wraith quiver]

so many dope ideas on pinterest that look so aggressive

yeah i think today i may actually try to mess with it. You just go on foot and free place a window and pray right?

[raven rover]

use smth as a guideline

[wraith quiver]

yeah exactly i just want a little tilt

idk if i can tilt vertically though isnt that a mod

[raven rover]

yeah thats a mod

i think you can do it in vainlla

vanilla

but it requires some dark magic that i dont know how to

[vagrant bluff]

awesome thanks, and they are tradeable ?

[raven rover]

they are not

i assume you mean by NPCs?

[cursive lark]

They are not, but you can trade the parts

[vagrant bluff]

nope players

[raven rover]

how do you even trade ships with other players without using NPCs?

Anyways, corvettes are not tradeable bcs you have to build em yourself

Like legos

[weak locust]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[raven rover]

Ofc its not

[cursive lark]

Except you can trade Legos

[raven rover]

😭

I'd like the millenium falcon set pls

Best i can do is a minifig

[cursive lark]

I have the falcon actually

Not the big one but one of them

[raven rover]

holy shit bros rich

[cursive lark]

I'm not (because of my Lego addiction) 🤣

[raven rover]

LMAOOO

im more of a mokit guy, havent bought a lego in ages

[rancid oracle]

is there any corvette part that can go smoothly horizontally? no matter how I rotate a part like argonaut cowling it's always top to bottom

[wraith quiver]

i hate these cockpits so much man

[wraith quiver]

idk there may be a glitch or something to get the results youre looking for.

[vocal plinth]

whats wrong with them?

[wraith quiver]

just dont like how any of them look. cant wait for new ones to come out

[flint plover]

this one was my main inspiration for my latest! Thx for showing more angles of it 😄

[cursive lark]

||there are three more found in the files that aren't released|| spoilers for datamined content

[raven rover]

ooooohhh can i see it?

[flint plover]

do you have interior shots of it too?

[raven rover]

here's some more shots

[vocal plinth]

fair enough, i dont mind them that much tbh

[raven rover]

its dissapointing

basically zero interior

[flint plover]

this is how it is currently

#nms-showcase-corvettes message

[raven rover]

its just 2 straight line floors

[raven rover]

holy shiiii

thats so sick

the subtle angle

[flint plover]

i still need interior too

[wraith quiver]

NAH that glass ceiling is absolutely insane.

[raven rover]

Yeah it'd be a crime not to decorate that interior

[wraith quiver]

thats wow.

base parts in there?

[flint plover]

yeah

[raven rover]

really nice work man

Genuinely thats really cool

[flint plover]

thanks guys. Im trying to learn to work with all the parts at my disposal, which im not used to at all! i just recently got into modding

[wraith quiver]

yeah man thats a crazy build youve got there and its so clean too

[raven rover]

I still havent used base parts in my builds yet

seeing that made me want to try it

[wraith quiver]

yeah i scared.

[raven rover]

same tbh

[flint plover]

what i find more daunting imo is the building system of nms. No hate to it at all, it just makes it unesessary difficult especially to make something symmetrical

i'm used to a more blender-like system from another game

[wraith quiver]

yeah i cant wait to see their first big updates to the building system with the feedback theyve been getting.

[flint plover]

someone should make a mod that implements a gizmo and shit

[torn mirage]

Ive got autophage stuff on mine, im still trying to figure out the right build for a phage ship but for rn what ive got atm isn't too bad

[flint plover]

show us show us show us

[wraith quiver]

i wan see dat

[torn mirage]

Huh?

[wraith quiver]

would you mind showing us your autophage ship please

[rancid oracle]

do the different main engines and stuff actually have different stats? or is it just cosmetic?

every time I place one the game seems to change its idea of the stats

[torn mirage]

Im still figuring out the way to shape it but rn it looks generic just with phage basr items on it hold on lol

[kind glacier]

has anyone tried to make escape pods?

i realized that my ship is so big that it would actually make sense for it to have escape pods

[wraith quiver]

Heres mine. i plan on adding some autophage decorations but cant find any aside from the sentinel head..

[kind glacier]

xD

[torn mirage]

Sentinal head?

[kind glacier]

sentinel head?

[kind glacier]

ah

[wraith quiver]

oops

[torn mirage]

That's something you mine on a planet

I dont think its a decoration, at least not as far as ive seen 🤷‍♂️

[wraith quiver]

this is a decoration

but i wish it just had the crystals

[torn mirage]

The crystals would make up my ship so much I would crystalise the hell out of it 💯

All I got on mine is autophage assembly stations, void antennas, void dishes and atlantidium streetlamps

I cant get the other images to upload so here's the one picture that did upload

[rancid oracle]

I feel like adding the side cowling has just made the ship feel fatter

[runic bluff]

Even Thunderbird?

[raven rover]

Thats an actual deco

[torn mirage]

Oh well ill have to look into getting that decoration idk where to look though lol

[wraith quiver]

none of them are as fugly as ambassador butidk theyre just not for my build style.

[torn mirage]

I use ambassador, the style reminds me of the interior of the nastromo from aliens

[mild stratus]

Pink lights there the closest to purple we have 😅

[iron palm]

new attempt at a larger corvette, instead of the smaller one i had first.

[torn mirage]

Im not a fan of the titans room modules myself lol

[mild stratus]

I'd use ambassador habs if I could change the interior to black but yea unfortunately they sck

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

[iron palm]

i mostly used the titan ones for my builds, i like the look.

mostly becuase of the more industrial look, the others are a bit too clean...

[mild stratus]

Thunderbird habs are perfect for a pirate or darker astectic funnily enough the Titan cockpit works better with them than tbird cockpit

[rancid oracle]

not sure how to decorate this lump, it's better than the previous, but I got a ton of reactors'n'crap I'd rather hide behind something sleek

[vagrant bluff]

so wait i cant trade ships or buy them from players ?

[mild stratus]

I wish the ambassador version of the small windows was the standard for all 3 hab types tho because there the coolest lookin small windows

[vagrant bluff]

because ima be fr im not good at building but i am at grinding

[wraith quiver]

this

[iron palm]

it took me several tries before i could get a decent looking larger corvette, most of my more succesfull build are the smaller ones. it's hard making a big corvette look believable for its size and not look like a breadbox.

[wraith quiver]

i like the ambassador interiors. but its not my aesthetic. i like looking grimey/rusty and thats more clean. looks gorgeous thouhg

[mild stratus]

I think for bigger corvettes to actually look good we'd need a higher complexity limit

[abstract crow]

My larger ships don't look like breadboxes. They can get a little chonky, tho

[vagrant bluff]

I agree!

id kill for a death star

[wraith quiver]

Yeeahhhh some people have been able to pull off some nice large ships though

[vagrant bluff]

OMG a borg cube

[iron palm]

i still have to complete the interior of my current corvette, i did finish the one in my old smaller build.

[vagrant bluff]

also why cant we place engines and stuff on the inside ?

[wraith quiver]

tough to balance size with detail with the given building limit

and then the parts are a bit large to make a small detailed ship without merging a ton lol

[iron palm]

chonky is ok, but breadbox or cheap imitation of a rubix cube is not...

[vagrant bluff]

they managed to load entire planets with LOD systems

[mild stratus]

Meanwhile my ships smol and is at the complexity limit now 😂 detail is more important than size to me

[iron palm]

someone did make a good attempt at a borg cube allready.

[abstract crow]

Pretty sure this design was legit before I switched to PC.

[torn mirage]

Yea despite 100 being a good number sometimes you work on a ship and it creeps up when you arent anywhere near finished and you cant add everything you planned lol itd sucks

[wraith quiver]

see yeah prime exmple merging a shit ton in a small corvette can look so ncie

im trying to work on a slim one rn

[vagrant bluff]

yooo this awesome

[iron palm]

my older smaller build was also more detailed then my current one, but i haven't finished the interior of the new one.

[wraith quiver]

but theres so much merging and im sure there are pieces in there that i cant reach lmfao

[abstract crow]

I don't think I'll ever finish the interior on my larger ships. It'd probably crash my game with how many habs I'd have to fill.

[jagged quarry]

looking good dude

[mild stratus]

My advice decide if you want the front or back to be slim i found trying to make a slim ship from both ends can sometimes look basic unless that's just me 😂

[iron palm]

does the limit include stuff you add on the interior?

[torn mirage]

No

[wraith quiver]

oh yeah i was going for basic here as flat as i can lol

[jagged quarry]

do you guys know how to increase manuverability on corvettes?

[wraith quiver]

its gonna be like a mini version of my larger jet

[torn mirage]

Building inside in base building mode doesnt count towards the ship building process

[rancid oracle]

ceto and titan engine merge well together imo

[mild stratus]

People just add a bunch of habs then don't decorate them because they'd break there game which just leaves an empty ship

[wraith quiver]

REactors and mods lol gotta ask the wizards

[jagged quarry]

im using reactors but the bar isnt moving

[wraith quiver]

i think placing a cockpit first then three medusa reactors ersumshit i forget every time

[rancid oracle]

can only use two medusas

[mild stratus]

No dummy you place reactors then cockpit

[jagged quarry]

placement order matters?

[mild stratus]

Yep

[wraith quiver]

see told you im the wrong one to ask

[mild stratus]

Only for medusas tho I haven't noticed issues with other reactors

[iron palm]

wait it does, i allways start at the landing gear.

[wraith quiver]

oh no in this case its medusas and cockpit cos the effect maneuverability

idk about all that other stuff

[mild stratus]

Landing gear are usually one of the last things i add tbh

[jagged quarry]

thanks for the tip, ill give it a try later

[wraith quiver]

like idk if even choosing your engines and their order placement matters

[torn mirage]

Things can be placed before landing stuff?

[iron palm]

i still have lot's to learn about moving around in the corvette builder.

[mild stratus]

@torn mirage yea you just place a landing gear first ten a hab then delete the lg and build of that hab

[torn mirage]

Oh makes sense

Ive always struggled with underneath and by the time I finish the top side I got no space left for underside lol

[wraith quiver]

same

[mild stratus]

I guess my ships would be considered lowriders because I can't actually add parts to the underneath 🙃

[torn mirage]

S teiring for corvettes really should be expanded lol at least 50 more modules

[rancid oracle]

hmm.. is there a limit on how many tech slots you can have through corvette modules? I got a few hardware parts that are missing

like my 3rd engine, 2nd + 3rd landing gear, etc

but maybe B-class is limited to just 45 slots

[torn mirage]

The only things I put underneath besides landing gear are fuel rods lol

[mild stratus]

Also to my fellow console players this is realistically what you can get out of your corvette if you have good sc slots and xclass upgrades + phonix upgrade from the starborn runner with no cheats or anything etc

[jagged quarry]

that goes soo hard dude

[torn mirage]

Sheesh

Where do i get the altantidium crystal decoration then? Lol I wanna add it to my ship

[wraith quiver]

so there isnt one

[mild stratus]

Thanks 😅 I put alot of work into it

[wraith quiver]

it shows on the site but you cant actually get it

just that head i showed you

[jagged quarry]

how did you get the teeth on the front?

[mild stratus]

@torn mirage if you want a autophage/atlantidum theme/vibe void radars and antennas could be good with the purple glow they have i haven't tried putting them on the outside of my ship yet tho

[wraith quiver]

wish those damn things could change axis of rotation

[mild stratus]

Literally these would be perfect if they were rotatable

[mild stratus]

I used this

[jagged quarry]

cool
