[willow lichen]

Are there any alternatives?

[hardy oracle]

Probably not for this sort of thing, no. Not if you're on xbox

Get the game on PC instead if it's important to you, I guess?

[willow lichen]

I’ll just use another object

[abstract crow]

PC is the way to go

[willow lichen]

Can the synthesis core be rotated?

[glass surge]

OODA Looper on youtube built the Voyagers Trailer corvette; you can find instructions on this video at about 14:38 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7u7N5vy_J0

[naive totem]

ah yea i don’t think you can do that

[abstract crow]

It'd be cool to be able to store smaller exocraft inside corvettes, but yeah.

[wicked dune]

sweet, managed to get entire engine at 1.5 habs wide

[abstract crow]

Nothing wrong with adding some class

[dusk reef]

new corvette update guys!

[abstract crow]

Think they missed the landing area

[dusk reef]

just a bit

new corvette

[flint plover]

that's quite a basic one

[fast dirge]

i am new to no mans sky and made this what would you guys rate it

[woeful prism]

What would be the part list?

[flint plover]

that's a sweet ass corvette 👌 nicely done

[wicked dune]

meanwhile I'm on my 4th corvette that I spend 2h looking at how much glitching I'd need to do to place the things the way I wanted then give up

[flint plover]

Well from the parts that are visible it's one vesper cowling in the middle front, with a thunderbird cockput above it. The sides of hte front are 4 turbine aerofoils. Idk man, lots of stuff.

[lapis merlin]

Hello everyone, I’m new, here’s my corvette

[flint plover]

you can also try to make it in creative mode first so you can freely mess around with all the parts

[fast dirge]

that is really cool

[silk meadow]

beautiful

looks similar-ish to mine 🙂

[silk meadow]

very sleek im in love

[cobalt flame]

I do too, it mostly for the interior. But the Thunderbird one does look better on the ship. I guess I'll have to make do with a dull cockpit interior... 😔

[livid vector]

how can i get better corvette parts without buying them

[swift mist]

find a planet or moon with salvageable scrap and start digging

[livid vector]

i can’t find any

[lime geyser]

og batmobile 🔥

[swift mist]

you're not looking hard enough then because they're not rare

[livid vector]

can i go to any planet

[swift mist]

scan a planet from space and look for one that has Salvageable Scrap

[swift mist]

use your analysis visor to look for these yellow icons - salvage containers

these have corvette parts

[livid vector]

okay thanks

you wanna play together and you show me stuff iswell

[swift mist]

I started playing recently again so I don't know as much as most other people here but sure I can show you what I know

[cobalt flame]

https://youtu.be/YewQOXxQiuA?si=TbrXy6z1JtJT820P

[burnt lotus]

Hey if I give design specs, could someone build me a corvette I'm imagining? (@me when u respond pls)(also @me to negotiate reward.)

[cobalt flame]

Can't trade a Corvette.

[white fable]

U mean with other players?

Cuz i trade my corvettes with npcs to get rid of them 😂

[cobalt flame]

Yeah, can't trade them with players. NPC's do indeed vanish with them and can't be recruited to the squad, sadly....

[obsidian robin]

Ok...who here has run into the Corvette building bug where you are unable to flip your cockpit, engines, weapons or landing gear? Anyone know how to workaround this?

[cobalt flame]

Cockpit can't be flipped without glitching.

[obsidian robin]

The output of the engines are facing forward, my guns are facing backward and my cockpit on facing backward

I found a bunch of people also experiencing this issue

[cobalt flame]

Without glitching, engines, cockpits and weapons always face forwards.

[obsidian robin]

So, then it appears that the corvette has to be with the rear of the ship nearest to you

built

I did not think it mattered but it obviosly does

SMH

[cobalt flame]

When you build your ship, it always faces towards the entrance/exit of the space station.

[dusk reef]

i have updates

decoration :D

i gotta do the inside next (pray for me )

[kindred forge]

Out of all the wacky things people have made, I have yet to see the Breaking Bad RV LMAO

[white fable]

Not exactly an RV but someone did make something that looked like a car. I saw it last night in #nms-showcase-corvettes

[swift mist]

i tried boss

[floral berry]

Normandy spotted in anomaly

[zealous smelt]

Thats still dope

Is it S grade

[fast lichen]

your thoughts on it....

[cinder crystal]

40 hours to design the first floor of my corvette... four floors to go

[graceful spire]

Oh my shit

Good luck with that

[cinder crystal]

as an innately not creative person I had spent many many hours looking for inspiration online

oh, this looks like a table

oh this looks like a bar

oh this looks like a weapons room

but at least the first floor looks hella pretty now. Will post screenshots (next year) when I finish the other floors lmao

[graceful spire]

I cannot wait to see them :D’

[zealous smelt]

Getting ai to create ideas for you is kinda goated lol

A little goofy tho

[still raven]

is there anyway to make a corvette, but like make some parts invisable??

[swift mist]

nah I didn't upgrade it

wish there was an easy way of sharing blueprints or something because I don't even know if I can make a guide for it lol

[zealous smelt]

😭

[swift mist]

apparently someone on reddit found a way to export/import corvettes using a save editor but it only works on PC obviously and I havent tested it out myself

[zealous smelt]

Ooo

Ngl I think I could copy most of the design from seeing it, I just gotta get a ton of corvette parts

Whats the fastest way to get them

[swift mist]

i think a moon with salvageable parts

it's around 80 parts in total

[tranquil hedge]

cough service bot cough

[thorny gale]

I don’t know if this has been addressed yet, but why do my Corvette technology upgrades keep switching to different slots every time I load a new game? It really messes up my maneuverability and hyperdrive range.

[swift mist]

yeah it's a pretty common bug

[thorny fiber]

I need a door for hub. Dont like stairs going up

[kind glacier]

update. my ship is so big that my game not only freezes on lift off, spawning the ship or going into the building menu, but now it also crashes whenever i try to land with my ship on a planet

it's unusable

[hardy oracle]

!hg

[lament abyss]

Submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[kind glacier]

guys. is it me, or using 2x1 habs to cover dead areas actually worse then using two 1x1 normal connection pieces (not habs)

i thought that by using the 2x1, it wouldn't put such a strain on the game because it would have to load only half as much items

but I'm starting to think that a lot of the lag comes from the habs themselves and that it would have been much better if i had used normal 1x1 blocks instead. even if they would be twice as many

[swift mist]

technically those 2x1 habs still have insides, no? if the game still renders those insides even though you're only using them as filler, that'll definitely affect performance

[kind glacier]

i will try to replace them tonight. maybe i can save my shop and will no longer freeze my game for 8 seconds every time i spawn it, go into building mode or take off. and most importantly, maybe it won't crash my game when i land on plannets xD

[glad vector]

You can delete corvette parts from an adjacent workshop terminal, effectively making them invisible but still functional

[kind glacier]

wait. is this how people make those corvettes with flying parts? they just delete the connecting parts from the other workshop?

[glad vector]

Not sure if that’s how they do that, because I heard some use two antennae facing each other

But I think you can use this method for that too

[quick viper]

My attempt at making the RSI Polaris from star citizen 1:1 scale.

[golden sonnet]

is there any way to like destroy my current corvette/take all the parts of and since i wanna trade som of the parts on that ships to build a new ship

[quick viper]

Here's a pictures of the two side by side color matched.

[kind glacier]

spam X

[golden sonnet]

no isnce i cant get the cockpit and such out of that

[kind glacier]

@frigid wave how did you get access to the toilet module?

[kind glacier]

i'm confused. don't you want to destroy the whole thing? why can't you destroy the cockpit?

[golden sonnet]

sicne it wont let me save the corvette meining i cant exchange my curent parts for a new cockpit and landing gear

[kind glacier]

you don't need to save. just be in the editor menu and start spamming X to delete parts quickly

tldr. you have to manually delete them

wait. you want to exchange the cockpit?

[cinder crystal]

with nomnom and goatfungus it's pretty easy to pull a JSON file that can be shared to others, if you're open to trying that option

[golden sonnet]

yeah

[kind glacier]

ah. well...

you gotta trade for a new cockpit and then replace it

[hardy oracle]

No, this is currently not possible. You have to make a bare minimum viable corvette in order to save it. You can however trade that with a regular ship and actually get more units than you need to buy those parts in the first place. Just barely, but you can turn an actual profit on the trade.

[frigid wave]

I was able to unlock it with the save editor as for the type of toilet it depends on the HAB

[kind glacier]

huh. infinite money glitch xD?

[kind glacier]

can you shoot me a message on how to do that?

[frigid wave]

Sure

[hardy oracle]

Technically, yeah? But there are far faster ways to get units.

[kind glacier]

anyone has a link to the guide for rotating parts using the base items? or to a guide that lets us rotate items on the Y axis?

[remote crypt]

Few vids pinned here, not one of those?

[hardy harbor]

Hmm.. I ponder Kaspian beast

[kind glacier]

nope

[kind glacier]

can someone tell me the full length of the build area? i'm at work and i can't check. i'm trying to plan my new ship xD

[ruby siren]

@frail kelp Does the milano have a good interior?

Curious how modded interiors work

[abstract crow]

Time to spend another three hours on a design that probably won't last very long before it's replaced by a new design.

[blissful gorge]

3 hours wow, impressive speed 😄

[sick kayak]

Woah slow down, 3 hours is way too fast

[blissful gorge]

i have no idea how to take a good screenshot but im very happy with my latest firefly inspired corvette

the side-placed landing legs are my new favorite, love how they animate when landing/taking off

[dark juniper]

Is it supposed to be that dark?

(Because it looks like that bug that's caused by GTAO being set to off/none/whateveritscalled)

[blissful gorge]

no matter what filter or sun direction its always dark when i take screenshots, even though before i go into photo mode its fine

must be that

thanks that fixed it 😄

theres not a lot of vertical pieces for making corvettes ive noticed, so its been useful to find ways to use the aerofoil pieces like i did for body/reactor

theres a way better serenity on reddit but i wanted a smaller ship that met my needs for every day use (roof access, front and back access, reasonably feasible to get into cockpit, good stats, small)

[abstract crow]

I feel bad for the guy who suddenly appeared in my system and is trying to build his corvette with mine intruding into his build space.

[abstract crow]

Damn. My design for a large transport is looking better than my design for a large warship. Now imma have to redo that design too.

[fair pilot]

SexyGandalph?

[blissful gorge]

whats the difference, the appearance?

[abstract crow]

Appearance and more suitable locations for weapons.

Better bridge design, too.

[blissful gorge]

ive always just had corvettes that can do it all

by which i mean to say i never skimped on weapons or usable areas, never saw a reason to

the guns are kind of ugly tho

moving them half a unit down helps in a lot of cases

[abstract crow]

The transport has a larger bottom section with multiple ramps for design purposes and more "storage" space.

While the warship design was more sleek.

[hardy oracle]

You could just hide them inside the shell if you want their function but not their appearance. It's what I did for my ship. I put them all in a line with only the front one visible. That way it looks like all the bolts come out of that one cannon but I still get all the stats

[abstract crow]

I don't mind the weapon designs. I just wish we could glitch them sideways.

[blissful gorge]

oh like rotate on the side? yeah that would be nice

putting them on either side of a cockpit or pylon etc

[abstract crow]

I meant turning 90° to the left or right. Would make them useless for hitting anything, but they'd look cool

[trim valve]

Can i use this channel for build guide?

Cause i need a little help

[blissful gorge]

look at the pins, i found them helpful personally

also im feeling in a helping mood since i "finished" a build 😛

[trim valve]

Well not technically a build guide
But more of an inspiration guidance

Im trying to build the noise of my corvette and i ran out of ideas

[blissful gorge]

thats the hardest part for me, unless you are starting with a specific piece in mind 😛

[buoyant orchid]

@weary totem @abstract crow You two commented when I asked about my corvette pieces stuck underground and I appreciated the attention 😄 so FYI, save editing CAN be done to remove corvette pieces - a corvette is a type of base and is in there. It can be hard to identify the ship and what to remove, but it's possible, and I've fixed my ship. 🥳

[trim valve]

This might be difficult then
Cause the no dump and run rule

[abstract crow]

The nose is arguably my least favorite section on smaller ships. Larger ones are easy with backwards wings to make the tip.

[blissful gorge]

the cockpits are kind of ugly for most use cases. your best bet in general is to overhang them with some decorative pieces

[trim valve]

Yeah im having great difficulty
Cause of the small cockpit while my ships is quite large
The ratio makes it difficult to cover it up

[buoyant orchid]

a 90 degree rotated hab can mount a weapon sideways - but unless I didn't try hard enough, they always pointed in the same direction. -.- In my case, only to the left.

[blissful gorge]

might sound silly but if you arent just in creative and dont have hundreds of pieces yet, let your pieces you do have dictate the design. I found that to be a fun way to do it

[blissful gorge]

have to rotate one 90 degrees the other way as well?

[buoyant orchid]

pretty sure I tried 🤷‍♂️

[trim valve]

Theres not enough nose pieces to fix it:((
i use the argonaut cowling to make it more downslope but still too much
If i use speedbird it would be too far and too slim

[abstract crow]

Probably could combine hab glitch and the rotate glitch

[blissful gorge]

pic?

[trim valve]

Hold on let me boot up discord on pc

[kind glacier]

yup. you can. just played with it a bit last night

turn a hab to 90 degrees and then use the ladder technique to turn a copy of it the other way and boom

now you can have actual cannons facing left and right

i want to do this for my new pirate ship

[buoyant orchid]

a window can handle both directions. I use windows for both 90 and 180 degree rotations.

[kind glacier]

i... i forgot about it xD

[buoyant orchid]

stairs only for the advanced, sub 90-degree glitches.

[trim valve]

current trajectory
i want it to slope down a bit but not too much
or atleast make the noise not too weird

[blissful gorge]

do you really need so many habs? if it were me i would take off the top layer of habs, looks like you can fit plenty on the lower layer

put cockpit on lower layer and use deco pieces on top layer. offsetting will help too if you look at video guides

[trim valve]

Sure i can buys some reinforced link to replace it

[blissful gorge]

lol i mean i would just use deco pieces. you have a cool outside of ship, then just boxes in the middle. but thats just my opinion

my general design philosophy is habs are ugly, cover them

[abstract crow]

Moar habs. Embrace the cube design.

[blissful gorge]

i dont exist in a vaccuum. Ive seen great hab spam designs 😄

[hardy oracle]

I think smaller ships look more interesting. Too many ships end up with either repetition or huge areas without anything visually interesting going on because they're so big

[abstract crow]

I like my massive ships too much.

[hardy oracle]

There aren't any serious gameplay reasons for why you'd need more than one hab so the only reason to do more is for aesthetics

[trim valve]

Man i wish i can rotate more without using tricks
The medusa only point one way grinds my gear
Now its too late to perform the trick

[blissful gorge]

agreed

massive ships look great in the anom but spamming habs is just the worst way to do it, makes it ugly. Having an open area and using base building parts instead frees up parts for more decorations anyway

[hardy oracle]

What's a good format for showing off a ship? I tried making a quick video but the file size quickly gets out of hand. More than a MB per second. This one is five seconds and barely beneath what discord allows me to paste in a message.

[trim valve]

Dam it i keep forgetting the game doesnt warn full inventory when trading module

Now i just lost 2 module for no reason

[hardy oracle]

What do you mean? Isn't it just in your freighter or ship inventory instead? Are all your inventories full?

[trim valve]

My exo suit inventory was full

[hardy oracle]

Sure, but that just means it ends up in another non-full inventory

[trim valve]

And no it dissapeard even though my ships inventory have 10 more slot

[hardy oracle]

Odd, maybe bug report it?

!hg

[lament abyss]

Submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[abstract crow]

Yeah, parts will only go into the exosuit inventory after trading. Full inventory and poof.

[hardy oracle]

Never had that happen but I think there's no doubt that it's a bug. Have you reported it? Don't want to end up in a situation where all of us think someone else reported it and just accept it without ever letting the devs know

[abstract crow]

It's been there since day 1, so it's safe to assume at least one person reported it.

[hardy oracle]

What if everyone assumed that?

[trim valve]

I reported it just now
So yeah the dev will know

This happened 3 times now
6 module lost
Yes it is my fault but still grinds me really

[hardy oracle]

I don't think you should think it is your fault

[abstract crow]

With probably thousands upon thousands of players and who knows how many encountering the problem, the likelihood is high that the devs are aware.

Like the tech shuffle bug that's still there.

[hardy oracle]

But not everyone is hit by these bugs, you say thousands of thousands of players but it could just be a tiny subset that are impacted. The tech shuffle seems quite rare and the inventory bug relies on people not having enough space which probably is pretty rare too given that we have 100 slot inventories

[trim valve]

I guess maybe only new player might get impact from this
Cause the small inventory and all

[hardy oracle]

Which arguably makes it a more serious bug. Wouldn't want to turn new players away after all

[abstract crow]

I was impacted by it with max inventory, lol. Anyone who had a full inventory and tried trading for parts has run into it whether or not they knew it was because of their full inventory.

[hardy oracle]

I'm not saying I doubt it is real. I'm saying it's unlikely to happen to a lot of people. I mean, this is how my inventory looks like on a normal day

[trim valve]

Wow
Guess im just super dissorganise
Cause i required to carry alot of basic mat for alot of situations

[abstract crow]

200 warp cores in your exosuit inventory is far from normal, that's for sure.

[hardy oracle]

I keep all that on my freighter. You can craft with anything in your freighter inventory as long as you have a matter beam tech

[abstract crow]

The glitch or whatever you want to call it only happens with a full exosuit inventory as that's where the parts go.

[hardy oracle]

Yeah, I get it. I'm just saying there is a possibility that most players just never encounter it, so it might not be as widely reported as you might think

[trim valve]

Dam
How expensive to trade for the azimuth reactor?

[abstract crow]

Just horde cockpits. That's my usual trade part

[hardy oracle]

Part trade rules are weird. Sometimes they accept the trade with only a single digit percent chance. Just keep trying until it's accepted

[trim valve]

I wish i can trade bulk basic mod for advance
Then again it would be just buying with cash now but more expensive

[abstract crow]

They really should just have it so you can buy parts outright. Expensive, sure. But less grindy.

[hardy oracle]

Good point though, I play with stack size times 10 so I surely have a bit less inventory issues because of that

[balmy cedar]

Anyone have a corvette I can steal the design of?

[hardy oracle]

Sure, we all have corvettes here 🙂

[balmy cedar]

Heres mine to steal

The Type 77 dropship

[abstract crow]

Good luck stealing my designs. Even I don't know how I built them.

[balmy cedar]

Affectionately called "the Pelican,"

[wraith quiver]

dude same

[balmy cedar]

Some of these I don't know why I made them

[trim valve]

Man u guys are so good at building
And mine just look like a very big crab

her finished design, i hate the ceto reactor though

[hardy oracle]

Mine is pretty simple to make, if you consider half-tile offsets simple. I fit all the tech inside the shell. Took me a lot of effort to figure out how to avoid glitchy-looking block merges but in the end it really isn't nearly as advanced as most ships seem to be around here.

[trim valve]

The ducting joint method i assume?

[hardy oracle]

I don't know what that means, so I'm going to guess no? I used trims and rockhopper propellers to do my offsets. But it's probably similar

[trim valve]

Yeah the ducting joint method also does the half tile offset

[hardy oracle]

Ah, I think I get it. Using ducting joints as the solid block instead of a hab, I guess? You'd still use trims and rockhoppers to shift it around though

[wraith quiver]

yeah we use the ducting joint as the trim

[hardy oracle]

I think we're probably talking about different things somehow, but I'm sure it's the same glitch anyway

Ducting joint?

[wraith quiver]

oh oop sno i was thinking of the ducting outlet lol

[trim valve]

Uh woops wrong one
Its the ducting outlet lol

[hardy oracle]

If you're talking about the ducting outlet then yes, it has the exact same function as either of the trims. Same type of offsets

[wraith quiver]

Jake and i are just dumb

[hardy oracle]

These three all work the same. I'm sure there are other items that work similarly too

Lets you do diagonal offsets. And then we use rockhopper propellers to undo half of the diagonal shift to get to the exact position we want

[wraith quiver]

merging makes it so easy... to hit the parts limit lol

[hardy oracle]

Is there a way to see how many parts I've used?

[wraith quiver]

i wish lol

[trim valve]

Theres part limit??
How the frick the guy with the giant star destroyer did it?

[wraith quiver]

some people have mods that bypass the limit i think

[abstract crow]

What? No. Never. Who uses mods?

[trim valve]

mtfk

I lost module again
Why the hell they keep putting module back in my exosuit instead of the cache

can u guys rate the side? for my pov i think i nailed it

[wraith quiver]

rockhopper fitment is clean

[weary totem]

Nice! Happy to know you fixe the problem, and thanks for the information😁

[trim valve]

Wow and here i thought my ship is large
Then i turn around and see a guy literally building a robot right now

[weary totem]

I like your ship and I see you used the flip bug, with this bug you can combine reactor and block to can hide them.

[trim valve]

here this is the completed design
i cook her stern so good but her front is a little dissapointed
and before u ask yes i need those hab

[weary totem]

Ooh it's really nice I like the top of your ship

Yes the front is a problem for some players

[kind glacier]

huh. just relized i can actually take items out of the corvette's cache. i had strange items in my cache for a reason (like milk) and i just now realize that i can press X while hovering over an inventory slot to transfer the items out xD

[weary totem]

X)

[violet swallow]

What kind of ship were you trying to make that needs milk?

[sage wolf]

Dairy truck

Wtf XD

[wraith quiver]

was trying to think of what my ships back end reminded me of lol

yeah youve gotta assume any game that lets you build anything is going to have its limits tested.

[weary totem]

XD

[kindred forge]

I need inspiration 🙏

[rich bone]

honestly real

what's the point of the cache if it doesn't cache the parts while we're editing lmao

[kind glacier]

they need to add flat window pannels that can be placed by themselves to the corvettes

[balmy cedar]

Anyone manage to make the corvette off the cover of the game rn?

[hoary agate]

No vtol engines yet so imo no

[abstract crow]

I wonder what's the most amount of stuff you can cram into a 1x1 or 1x2 area...

[runic bluff]

BASILISK

@raven rover
I kinda wanna try and make something that looks like the top half of this mech but I'm afraid it might require a complexity limit mod

[turbid hedge]

It's a scam

[sharp ice]

Ive seen someone build like an up right circle and i was wondering how does one flip the pieces like that?

[balmy cedar]

VTOL?

Oh right

[balmy cedar]

Doesn't the thunderbird landing gear count as engines?

They're the leg ones

They'd fit the bill for Vtol

[rotund cypress]

Anyone else's landing gear not going down when they land? Seems like it started for me after I used a normal starship and switched back to my Corvette, my technology modules also get swapped at random on my Corvette

[violet swallow]

Recurring bug

Report it on their zendesk

[lament dirge]

Decided to try my hand at building my first space fighter type ship

[rotund cypress]

Gotcha and will do. Thanks man

[weary totem]

It' a good start I like it.

[rotund cypress]

The nose is pretty chunky compared to the wings, and if it were me I'd try hiding most of the shields and stuff on the outside but other than that it looks sick for a first try

[weary totem]

But it's very blocky and I think it could be better if you tried to vary the part

But it's a good corvette👍

[lament dirge]

Yep been trying to farm some of the other covers but keep getting the wrong ones for it 😂

[weary totem]

Do you know you can trade your corvette part for the piece you want?

[lament dirge]

Yep thats how I've been doing just farm lots of parts to trade

[weary totem]

Ooh ok sorry I misunderstand

I don't speak english so sometimes...

[lament dirge]

No worries I'm not to good at explaining things in Text form

[weary totem]

Ok

[turbid hedge]

any way to transfer your corvette from one save to another?

[weary totem]

No

Sorry

It's probably because there is a creative mod in the game

[balmy cedar]

Hmm

I made the Serenity

[weary totem]

Nice corvette 👍

[balmy cedar]

I combined the cover ship and the Serenity and made this

[opal coral]

Guys how to I even make a good corvette, ive made 10 and they all look like garbage

[weary totem]

Really nice

[weary totem]

1.For me it's to go see bug on youtube it's can really help you and you can do really good things.

2.Try to combine the part(you can't combine everything) it's can help you to do more good detail2.

3.And try to do something who got sense who is logic

[balmy cedar]

Trial and error

[swift mist]

offset building makes such a huge difference

[hardy oracle]

I think it helps to put function first and let the shape grow out of that. Consider what you need and build only that. Then try to cover up every flat area and 90 degree corners you can find with slopes, curves or techy bits.

[celest hill]

been seeing people who put exocraft spawners on their corvettes. is this through a mod?

[weary totem]

I think it's not a mod, I saw players who create corvette with base element with a glitch

[celest hill]

i mean i like the idea of having a dedicated vehicle spawner room. especially regarding the minataur

[hardy oracle]

It certainly isn't allowed by default. There's probably mods that let you do it easily, but I think people also glitch things onto their corvette by building in a planetary base and quickly moving the cursor onto the corvette and placing before it goes red

You can also just add the tech module in your own inventory, lets you summon your exocrafts everywhere using the X menu

[flat juniper]

That’s awesome from the back angle upper view. It looks like the hill carrier from shield that’s awesome. Good job

[balmy cedar]

I'd kill to be able to stick an exo craft in my pelican

Apparently 113 is a bad word?

[cursive lark]

Put habs in the general shape you want, slap a reactor on, and mess with decor for an hour until you find something you like. That's what I do

[willow lichen]

I found an a good prop to use for small thrusters (especially if you don’t have flaming barrel from expedition 8). The octa cabinet works excellent!

[wraith quiver]

dude yeah that part is so perfect for it. if my ships werent so rusty id use it lol

[wraith quiver]

i love this

[weary totem]

Soooo cool

Nice job👍

[blissful gorge]

Dont make fabs other than whats needed, and streamline player movement inside the craft. then cover the fabs they are ugly

[abstract crow]

Fabs are FABulous

[blissful gorge]

lol well now i cant edit it. *habs\

why the hell did i say fabs, no idea what i was thinking of. fabulous i guess

[blissful gorge]

also did anyone else get the opportunity to copy their expedition 19 corvette twice?

mine had a decent layout so i was surprised to see that when i randomly checked the terminal

[viral sand]

Ok, how did this happen? A corvette parked on top of a normal ship in the Anomaly? (Ok, it was a small corvette - neither ship was mine, I was just walking past and saw this.)

[cursive lark]

Good to know

[cursive lark]

This happens sometimes, I had it happen with my huge Vette that's built for multiplayer

[weary totem]

Probably a glitch 1 time I park in a spatial station(literraly, I no clip)

[buoyant orchid]

There's a mod for sharing corvette designs, so maybe that way, otherwise, probably by save editor.

[lunar thunder]

It happens in my settlement as well

People will come down and park into my corvette and I have to wait to launch off

[willow lichen]

I just made the interior of my mining ship. Obviously I had to make a little mineral collection because I am a rock collector.

I am contemplating adding little storage areas on the side for rocks. What do you all think?

[sick kayak]

Storage areas would be cool but I also like the idea of leaving them on the floor like Lego

[devout tiger]

what 'class' of corvette would you guys say this is?

[abstract crow]

I think I've improved the design by quite a bit. Larger, better keel, better bridge, better engine setup, longer, and not as fat.

Don't say anything about the number of habs

[hardy oracle]

I don't think there's any sort of agreed upon classification of corvettes. It's just a corvette class corvette 🙂

[devout tiger]

yeah, but does it look fighter-ish, explorer-ish, ETC?

[hardy oracle]

I think it looks far too big for a "fighter" but it does look like it's designed for warfare. Maybe a gunboat?

[devout tiger]

imma make a massive one

[abstract crow]

Patrol craft

[cold ruin]

anyone guess what this is

[abstract crow]

A corvette.

[cold ruin]

yes but what is it based on

[hardy oracle]

Long shaft with a bulbous tip? Are we trying to tempt some sort of word filter here?

[cold ruin]

uhh

no

it's supposed to be the bc-304 from stargate

the hell wrong with u

[wraith quiver]

lmfaoo

[rare mist]

Shaft and bawls

[marsh venture]

\

[cold ruin]

argh

[rare mist]

what guy?

[elder iron]

The unfortunate reality of rocket design is, they trend towards certain shapes

[hallow flax]

Hello everyone, I've searched quite ab it and didn't find any Bilskirnir (or any stargate ship really), is there a hidden website or something that has references ?

This is what I'm looking for : https://puu.sh/KC6HB/aad0b2fdff.png

[devout tiger]

OH YEAH

[still raven]

holly shit

[abstract crow]

Once I clean up the interior (and finish my transport that I'm procrastinating on), I'm going to see what I can do for decor.

[olive sorrel]

Do we have corvette landing pads yet for bases 🤡

[swift mist]

landing a corvette on a planet is for landlubbers

[swift mist]

we don't

[devout tiger]

Real

[abstract crow]

Why land when you can hover ominously nearby?

[elder iron]

I want to have a place where my corvette kinda blends in/merges with the base

[abstract crow]

This was my attempt at that with my last design.

Ooh. Dark green

[nimble chasm]

How do I swap between corvettes

[elder iron]

Same way you swap between ships

[nimble chasm]

But I don’t see my other corvette build in the swap docked ship menu

[elder iron]

Did you finalize it?

[nimble chasm]

Yeah

[elder iron]

The menu tends to have corvettes looking all squished

[nimble chasm]

I renamed my first corvette brick and I’m not seeing “the brick” in the menu at all

[elder iron]

Hmmmm

Try flying and landing the current corvette

[swift mist]

you have to go through multiple menus

[nimble chasm]

Still can’t swap to my older one, can’t see it

[drifting viper]

what happens if you have stuff in your ship's storage and you edit the hab it's in?

[hallow flax]

It is not ship storage so nothing, the storage in habs is the same as regular house one I think

[drifting viper]

sorry im new to the game so nothing happens to it? or like what happens to the stuff in side the habs when you edit / delete them

[hallow flax]

Sorry I'm not really old in the game either so I'm gonna let someone else reply 😄
If you're talking about storage containers that you put in habitations they might disappear but their content does not, you need to put it back to access it tho

[drifting viper]

i see does this extend to ship storage as well?

also what about the furnishings like if I have that live wall and I have plants in it and i delete that hab do we get refunded teh cost or are they just deleted?

[elder iron]

In my past experience, they just get deleted, but maybe one of the patches since I last did that changed/fixed it

[drifting viper]

i see ty

[swift mist]

i just tested it on normal mode (PC), you're refunded the ingredients cost of the items in that hab if you delete it

[drifting viper]

ah bless you ty for checking!

Rock storage!

Is it practical? Heck no! Is it an OSHA violation? Heck yeah! Does it make my ship look cool? Heck yeah!

[boreal fossil]

what's up with torpedo launcher, it says it benefits rocket launcher, but it seems to upgrade synergise(?) with ballista

[cinder crystal]

whoever came up with using barricades as stair banisters in corvette staircases is a genius
anyone have any suggestions for how to control the top part of staircases that make you spacewalk when you try to walk down (cos your feet leave the ground)?

[serene hollow]

What determines if your corvette has a supercharged slot? I made one pretty early and it was pretty bad, but just made a little shuttle to use as an explorer and it has a slot and full tech slots as well

[swift mist]

pretty sure its just rng mate

[glossy agate]

i havent used a corvette in a while, is landing gear animations bugged now? i remember it retracting and extending, now its just in landing mode all the time during flight and landing.

[serene hollow]

Praying to RNGzus then...

[inner mist]

Where can I find this?

[swift mist]

you can reload a past save when you upgrade your class and see if you can reroll the supercharged slot that way

[swift mist]

yeah it's been bugged for me too. ive been using the small landing thrusters instead ever since i found out

[glass cloak]

Experiencing an issue where a small hab that's adjacent to two small habs only has an entryway to one of them. Is that a bug?

[glossy agate]

@swift mist ah that feels bad, i love the landing gear

[serene hollow]

Never noticed that problem until now... I only use the hover jets lol

I love the Thunderbird hatch but it's a nightmare to get back inside the vette with it's messed up hitbox sometimes

[devout tiger]

Chat rate the corvette

[swift mist]

solid

[devout tiger]

Thx!

[open tartan]

are there any glitchbuilding techniques that allow me to jam multiple reactors into a small space

[nimble marlin]

Help ....

[grizzled phoenix]

I play on Nintendo switch 1 so seeing all these sick corvettes makes me so jealous.

But I have drawn up some designs that I will use when I get a PC

[tranquil hedge]

I think im gonna take that advice now just it wont be an entire level prob and bro is getting fatter

[glass cloak]

Tried to create a simulacrum of the transport ship from "Pitch Black". The problem I'm facing is that the habs in the back somehow, for some reason, don't all connect.

[swift mist]

offset and rotation building will allow you to hide them within other parts. check the videos on the pinned messages on this channel
i have 2 reactors here:

[balmy cedar]

OSHA?

They LOOOOVE my ship

[hardy badge]

has anyone here come across any scary / creepy looking corvette? intentionally (or accidentally ) themed after a horror film type dealio? if yes, can you share a pic or link?

[balmy cedar]

Alrighty and here's the OSHA non compliant interior

Don't mind the pink

The red lights are being tinted by this planet's silly filter

[grizzled phoenix]

It kinda looks like a guitar

In a good way

[cobalt flame]

Like this? Yeah, check the pins or YouTube for glitch building tips. 4 reactors crammed in a small hab.

[open tartan]

cool, ty

[devout tiger]

now THIS is what I call an explorer corvette

[glass surge]

One of these things is not like the other; think i found a new corvette bug

[tranquil hedge]

different hab and different interior module

[glass surge]

yup that's what i get for building storage when auto pilot is on 😂

[open tartan]

does this design have potential or are we sending it to the scrapper

i dont hate it but it just seems eh

[white fable]

If the word u're looking for is generic then I don't blame u cuz i made something similar looking xD

But i don't think its our fault tho. The only way to be able to explore our ideas and designs rn seem to be by glitching or using off-set mechanics

[grizzled phoenix]

Better than I could do. I'm not a very creative person. My Corvette is just a flying box pretty much

[open tartan]

yeah this build was kinda an experiment using glitchbuilding

its not super obvious by the looks but the circular plate on the top is shifted down with glitchbuilding

and i crammed some reactors inside the geometry

[white fable]

Yup! I did the same thing with the exception of those wing modules

[trail hornet]

looks about 500x better than mine

[open tartan]

my best work might be this one but its still a little weird looking

im not sure what it is about it

it feels too tall in the back

[trail hornet]

oh thats peak

looks sick man

[open tartan]

ty

[trail hornet]

mine's just two long rooms stacked on top of eachother 😭

[white fable]

I wonder if we'll ever be allowed to free-place parts instead of snapping to edges like rn

[open tartan]

just mess around in the builder for a bit and you'll get better

im still learning myself

[trail hornet]

i'm just struggling finding all the pieces 😭

[open tartan]

i farmed for the pieces for like hours so id have a giant collection

i would honestly reccommend just using creative mode

i only dont because of the gear next to my name but i still might switch if i get tired of farming for modules

[trail hornet]

i never really liked creative modes in games because it felt like cheating in a way lol. i'm probably gonna find a day next week to grind out a bunch of corvette modules

[wraith quiver]

i went to free crafting and buying tbh

they got 400+ hours of grinding lol i just build ships now

[white fable]

U can use creative mode to make a design u like and then "buy" only those parts in main save. You can save up a lot of time this way if u feel uncomfortable about creative mode

[trail hornet]

thats actually a really good idea thank you

[wraith quiver]

plus people are grinding for parts and then losing the ship. like thats part grinding time + building time lost. I do plan on making a 5th playthrough and go normal mode again whenever they add more corvette parts

[trail hornet]

more corvette parts would be sick

[wraith quiver]

theyre in the works!

[trail hornet]

oh nice!!

thats nice!!

[open tartan]

where do you get inspiration for stuff like this

and where do you hide the cockpit

[trail hornet]

just accidentally exited the corvette builder and it didnt save

fml

[white fable]

I think it does. Really unfortunate if it didnt

[trail hornet]

it started me fresh 😭

[white fable]

Ah damn

[trail hornet]

its okay i know what i was going for lol

[lapis merlin]

I just play around with different designs, I watch a lot of sci fi lol. The cockpit is under the supercruise aerofoil on the top. It’s just a cockpit and Titan landing bay.

I made it without mods, on Xbox

[trail hornet]

guys i might have actually cooked

[lapis merlin]

This thing is a beast

[trail hornet]

how do you avoid overclocking (or whatever it's called) slots?

[lapis merlin]

You can only have three of some types, it has an alert when you put too many

[trail hornet]

ohhh wait now i see

those are different types lol

i got it now

[swift mist]

sick corvette! heads up that there's a bug where the game will just randomly rearrange your tech though

[lapis merlin]

Thanks! Glad you like it. Ya I’m well aware of that bug lol, that’s why I take pics of my tech

[trail hornet]

what do yall think about my second corvette ever made? (sorry for the bad cam quality, i can't screenshot it 😭)

[lapis merlin]

That’s badass! Looks sleek and clean

[trail hornet]

thank you sm!! now i just need to figure out how to copy it to my survival save lol

[zealous smelt]

Looks like a turtle

[willow acorn]

I also just built a new corvette

[swift mist]

you did a good job of making the parts blend and work together

[trail hornet]

ty all !!

[zealous smelt]

I'll talk to you about the save editor thing tomorrow

Imma sleep, it's late and I gotta be up super early for pt

[swift mist]

yeah no prob

[still raven]

has anyone managed to make the slave 1 from star wars yet (boba fets ship if you dont know that, lokey a loser)

[zealous smelt]

How do you zoom out in third person camera mode

[trail hornet]

anyone got an idea on how to do this easily?

[zealous smelt]

I know you can look around using left alt idk how to zoom out tho

[zealous smelt]

Probably save editor

[trail hornet]

oh alright i'll look into those

[still raven]

?????????????????????

[zealous smelt]

Idk check reddit and #nms-showcase-corvettes

[swift mist]

if its a star wars ship, someone has built it

[still raven]

theres not 🙁

[still raven]

not the slave 1 🙁

[zealous smelt]

Build it then

Be the first

[swift mist]

i googled nms corvette slave 1 and see a couple

[still raven]

yeah there are, but they nott in the right orientation

[still raven]

i aint thaat creative ngl

well i am

iim just too lazy

and figuring out the cocpick is a pain

cause it has to be strait tho i do have an idea

[willow acorn]

I use photo mode

[cinder crystal]

anyone have any suggestions for how to control the top part of corvette stairways that make you spacewalk when you try to walk down (cos your feet leave the ground)?

[olive bough]

This is someone's corvette I saw in the anomaly, it literally has a blimp attached to it

[sweet gazelle]

hayyy

[kind glacier]

wait. how did you get 3 reactors of that type? and where is your cockpit

[thorny fiber]

i need this path to work lol.

[dark juniper]

If Medusa reactors are placed before the cockpit, then they will be counted for before the cockpit

The cockpit then won't appear as technology, as that would go above the limit of 3 Medusa reactors/cockpit

[kind glacier]

doesn't the cockpit have better stats than those?

[dark juniper]

I believe it's either worse or the same

In all of my cases it's been worse

[kind glacier]

use decorations to block the other corridor

[thorny fiber]

if you rotate hub it block by defualt, what i want is path

[kind glacier]

true but you lose that space completely. you could just block these 2 sides and leave one opening so you can easily access it. think of it like a side room

[thorny fiber]

owh from another operning. yea i get that. I guess connecting front and back exit is not possible currently

[kind glacier]

what do you mean?

"connecting front and back exit"

[thorny fiber]

i mean if you put landing bay in the back and the front it wont be connected buy the hub

unless there is a way?

[kind glacier]

wait. it doesn't ?

let me try

[thorny fiber]

it it get block since when the hub roate it dont connect. pain

eh why mine block,

[kind glacier]

wait. are you by chance rotating the whole hab to rotate the landing bay?

[thorny fiber]

yep

[kind glacier]

xD

sorry. it's funny ngl

just place a normal facing hab. place a landing bay behind it and then go to the front and with the landing bay selected, just press E to ratate it

[thorny fiber]

o wait it can mirror

[kind glacier]

yeah xD

[thorny fiber]

lol

i tought it cant be mirror and need to rotate hub

[sharp ice]

to wide?

[kind glacier]

too flat i would say

you could use an extra lvl in middle

[thorny fiber]

nice now passanger can enjoy the view

[tulip zealot]

It's like a tourist tour bus

[weary totem]

New corvette

[hardy oracle]

I don't think it's too wide as such, but it feels like you added width without purpose? Wings on spaceships serve no inherent function so if you want them for aesthetics it helps to give them some sort of purpose, even if it is a flimsy purpose. They could be mounting points for guns or thrusters, for example.

[tranquil hedge]

kowalski, analyze

[kind glacier]

wtf is that?

no. i meant that program

[tranquil hedge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598

it supports corvette now

[kind glacier]

can you resize corvete parts too?

[tranquil hedge]

yep

I tried resizing thunderbird landing thruster for my prometheus, it didnt look good

[abstract crow]

Well damn. Habs are about to get much bigger.

Ooo... Turrets too

[calm cloud]

oh this gonna be fun

[small plaza]

The wall placed items will also be resized according to the hab, won't they?

[abstract crow]

No idea. I'll poke around (and fail miserably) later on.

[abstract crow]

But if we can make huge habs, that'll change so much. Especially if we can precisely resize them to be individually longer or taller.

[alpine flame]

how many corvettes can you own?

[abstract crow]

As many as you have slots

[floral berry]

As many as you want that fits in your hangar

[alpine flame]

oh interesting thanks 🙂

[marble latch]

Umm is there room for improvement ?

Also jokes aside how do i get more modules. i dont seem to get good modules from salvaged scrap

[alpine flame]

I think derelict freighters can have modules 😮

[marble latch]

Ok imma look for those

Does adding more phase beams boost dps ?

[hardy oracle]

Salvaging scrap is random, all modules can be obtained that way. You can also loot it without ever landing or getting out of your corvette

[marble latch]

Ok

[golden radish]

if you mean the corvette parts, unintentionally so by a lot

[marble latch]

How many is the max ?

I have 2 rn

[hardy oracle]

Scrap is by far the fastest way to obtaine corvette components at about 1 item per 10 seconds of time spent searching. There are no methods that come even remotely close to that speed that I know of.

[golden radish]

it's the number of barrels total among all of your gun modules, i think it caps at 8 (so like 4 phase beams)

[hardy oracle]

Each corvette component can be stacked 3 times for stats. More than that and they won't give any stats.

[marble latch]

Umm so how do i fix more Main thrusters

[hardy oracle]

Define "fix" ?

[marble latch]

Attach

[hardy oracle]

Just place them the same way you place any other component?

[marble latch]

They dont seem to have a place to attach

[abstract crow]

Try flipping them

[hardy oracle]

Make more places for them to attach then. You're in control of spaceship design here. Imagination is the main limit

[abstract crow]

Or try to connect to a different part

[marble latch]

Also do corvettes essentially work the same way as normal ships ? In terms of tech, upgrade modules and recharging technology?

[marble latch]

Ok

Imma get more modules first

[hardy oracle]

For the most part, yes. What makes corvettes special is that not only can you add in 3 S- or X-class modules like a normal ship, you also get to stack on 3 more by building them physically onto your ship. So each system generally ends up with 8 or more tech modules which gives you a whole lot of stats and adjacency bonuses to play with.

[abstract crow]

Man, I'd love to be able to call in two corvettes at once to compare an old design with my latest one. Or for a large group photo.

[marble latch]

So a total of 6 is possible ?

3 internally and 3 extremely

[marble latch]

I think i need to widen my ship for that

[hardy oracle]

That's oversimplifying to the point of being wrong. You get the core system part, 3 S- or X-class modules, 3 corvette specific modules and then there's always at least one special crafted module that you unlock through research at the anomaly., So you're looking at at least 8 tech modules. There's often more. I have 11 modules boosting my pulse drive and manoeuvrability.

And then there's reactors too. You can have 3 of each type of reactor. These don't share adjacency with the system they boost, but they still add in more stats.

I circled everything that contributes to manoeuvrability on my ship

[devout tiger]

which cockpit placement do we like better?

[weary totem]

The 2nd

[kind glacier]

i will always be a fan of 2

My 2nd corvette of the day

[stiff frigate]

Do you not get to keep your expedition corvette? I understand why but that’s heartbreaking

[stiff frigate]

This is so awesome. Love the compact modesty of it

[final solar]

Anyone knows why I can't scrap this ship?

[hoary agate]

Turn off mp, relaod and try again. Imo u should be able to scrap it if its not your only one.

[plain totem]

How did you get the corvette to hide any reactors and shield generators?

[final solar]

what do you mean with mp?

[hoary agate]

Multiplayer

[final solar]

oh ok ty

[hardy oracle]

You can't turn off visibility for them, but you can use various offset tricks to put them inside other seemingly solid pieces.

[final solar]

I just did that but still doesn't work

[hoary agate]

Are u sure its not your only ship?

[final solar]

wdym with that?

[abstract crow]

It's always fun losing a piece of ship somewhere inside your ship because it decided to build near where your cursor was.

[hardy oracle]

You cannot salvage your last ship. You have to have at least one at any given point in time

[final solar]

I got 2 other ships

[hoary agate]

U sure u claimed it , not exchanged it when picking up ?

[final solar]

I got it from the Artemis quest so I think I claimed it

[limpid karma]

are you at the wrong terminal by any chance

[hardy oracle]

For example, I hid almost all my tech inside the hull of my ship. Picture with and without the cover in place.

[limpid karma]

if you offset parts you can hide them pretty well

[plain totem]

Doesn’t that block your being able to walk in the ship, though?

[limpid karma]

not if you dont put them inside of habs

[hardy oracle]

Yes.

[plain totem]

Hmmm. Going to have to look at this when I log on later.

[wraith quiver]

i love how youre hella loyal to that one vette. i can see why lol

[hardy oracle]

I'm still not done with it! 🙂

[wraith quiver]

Im going to love seeing it evolve!

[hardy oracle]

In hindsight it would have been fun to save images at each stage of the ship

This is one of the first images I took though. It really hasn't changed dramatically. 🙂

[wraith quiver]

i love that capsule look for some reason.

what id REALLY love to make idk if any of you are familiar with a game called space deadbeef

but "flowered" thrusters look so cool to me

[trail hornet]

if only you could pick your corvette colors like you can on freighters

[livid veldt]

When you build out a corvette on the pad in the Station, is the center X point the axis of rotation of the flying ship, or if most of your ship is, say, in front of the X point, does the game choose the actual center of the built ship as the axis of steering rotation? (Say you built the whole ship in one quadrant of the X area for building.)

[turbid meteor]

did anyone manage to recreate the ghost ship from star wars rebels?

[hardy oracle]

The answer to most of the questions of that nature is probably yes. Try searching reddit?

[terse kestrel]

Do we do pod racers?

[weary totem]

Wait the time for me to take photo who can explain

[wraith quiver]

doesnt seem to effect anything but its position in the hangar. but that bugs the hell out of me lol

[lime geyser]

space mech turtle 🔥

[wraith quiver]

i wish corvettes would "center themselves" in the hangar each time you finalized a build

[terse kestrel]

You can place a half hab section inside your build once the Corvette is already built.

Then attach certain things like shield generators and lasers to it. When you delete delete the hab after they will often shift position. Causing them to hide inside of your build

I have four lasers hidden inside that Corvette I just shared. It's small but they're buried in its side foils

[hardy oracle]

The cross determines where the beam up point appears below the ship. Unsure about rotation though. Seems pretty easy to test? I'd assume the cockpit ends up the center of rotation if anything though.

[hardy oracle]

No! then we'd lose control over where the beam up point is

[weary totem]

The gun is here

[wraith quiver]

yeah i just read what you said i had no idea that dictated the beam point

[weary totem]

And the reactor is hide here

[wraith quiver]

Also @hardy oracle how many habs do you have in your ship?

[wraith quiver]

looks compact like mine. id love to see them next to each other

[hardy oracle]

Just two

[wraith quiver]

ok yeah ours may be around the same size as mine is only a hab and walkway

[terse kestrel]

If you do it right you can make it look like the lasers are coming out of certain features. Like my lasers shoot directly out of the center points of the ends of the foils this way

[weary totem]

I didn't use the shield, I create this in creative mod

[terse kestrel]

Mine is just a half hab and a cockpit with a landing Bay in the back

[livid veldt]

Is there a list of how generators, shield units, engines etc. affect performance of a corvette - the different types, etc? A chart or something that has been put together?

[inner heart]

Fairly new to the game guys how do u rate my ship??

[wraith quiver]

love small builds

[terse kestrel]

Able to fit hazard protection refill, Health station, two storage units on the wall and a medium refiner wedged into the ceiling

It's like an all-in-one for everything you might need outside of your freighter.

[wraith quiver]

Def one of the cleanest "Ships" ive seen

[terse kestrel]

Large Corvettes are fun. But overrated and difficult to constantly play with

[swift dock]

how does the inside look?

im interested

[terse kestrel]

No Man's Seas

[weary totem]

Thanks^^

[swift dock]

sheesh thats clean af

[inner heart]

Thxx ngl the sails part is so exhausting on ps5

[abstract crow]

Hey, don't be talking bad about large corvettes. They're my favorites

[terse kestrel]

Dudes getting a jump start on Light No Fire ship builds 😂

[livid veldt]

I've done but one small build.

[inner heart]

Built it with no creative mode on too

[livid veldt]

Inside the single walkway unit.

[weary totem]

I like how it's small

[hardy oracle]

Here's the inside, as requested.

[swift dock]

thats hella neat

[weary totem]

Man the intérior is so cool

[swift dock]

oh wow

i think thats the first time ive seen an isopod design

[livid veldt]

Thanks. I like super densely packed cozy interiors.

[weary totem]

Yes it's really good

[swift dock]

i never thought of adding decors on the nutrition unit

[wraith quiver]

Hab/Walkway

[swift dock]

im a huge fan of super packed interiors

def will add some for messiness

[wraith quiver]

def working on the interior in mine

[weary totem]

Ooh relly nice

[lapis merlin]

Final edit, did I cook?

[trail hornet]

what do yall think? second corvette i've ever made in this game and i think i cooked

[wraith quiver]

I always add one of these dudes into my ship. if you put their "leash" under the floor, it wont effect your walking lol

[livid veldt]

A few things here and there do make it look a little more "lived in" 🙂

[terse kestrel]

Placing pill lights on the walls before attaching certain machines or storage units to them really UPS the ambience of Corvette interiors

It generates area lighting without actually seeing any light source.

[swift dock]

you're flooding me with inspirations just from these clips lol

im gonna tweak my interior tomorrow

[hardy oracle]

That's a great idea!

[weary totem]

Ooh so cool

[wraith quiver]

you cooked, pal.

[weary totem]

So cooooool

I love it

[terse kestrel]

Blue pill lights on the floor and pink pill lights on the walls. Under and behind the storage units

[hardy badge]

That's a sweet shot. Like the design

[wraith quiver]

i hate that cockpit so much on the outside but its so dope on the inside lol

[terse kestrel]

Best interior and worst exterior

[hardy badge]

Love it!

[terse kestrel]

The ambassador cockpit goes hard in VR

[wraith quiver]

100%

[livid veldt]

The sea, she was angry that day, my friends.

[weary totem]

Soo cool

[weary totem]

Ooh nice

[hardy badge]

Oof! I can only imagine

[terse kestrel]

It feels like the cockpits from subnautica VR ships

[hardy badge]

You guys better get super creative with your corvette builds in our October Sky contest coming up btw

[hardy oracle]

I do get the dislike for the ambassador exterior, but allow me to offer a different perspective. It is nice that we have access to a cockpit with a radically different style, because it allows different builds. Titan and Thunderbird are largely interchangable in terms of style. What we need isn't less ambassador, what we need is just more in between. 🙂

[hardy badge]

I concur

[weary totem]

OOOoooh it's the most epic bird corvette I see in the game

I love it

[hardy badge]

Question

Do any of you happen to have or remember examples you can link me to of super wild or super creative looking corvette designs shared here or in #nms-showcase-corvettes or in #nms-photomode-gallery?

[trail hornet]

looks like the milano almost

[kind glacier]

i wish all the pieces had the same snapping points when flipped. i literally can't mirror the design because on one side it doesn't want to stick. on both sides i have 2 Supercruise Aerofoil on top of each other (one normal and one flipped vertically), and one on side i can place the Argonaut Cowling and on the other I can't. and yes. the piece behind the cowling is literly piece

it's driving me crazy

[abstract crow]

It can never be easy

[terse kestrel]

Place a half hab where the top one is supposed to go

Then place your bottom one flipped vertically.

You should be able to delete your half hab and place your foil on the top side then

[abstract crow]

With my large designs, if something doesn't want to play nice, I get serious and hab glitch until it works.

[terse kestrel]

I've noticed hab snap points usually take precedence over all others. So forcing a hab snap point in a certain area usually causes something to line up how you want it

[kind glacier]

there is already a hab in between them. i'm trying to snap them to the hab xD

[terse kestrel]

Also snap points disappear badly when shifting the camera around building corvettes. They conflict with each other like old school Base building used to

[abstract crow]

Double the hab up or rotate it?

[terse kestrel]

If that's what you're trying to do then rotate the second hab backwards

The one you're going to delete after

That will make it think you're trying to attach it to the other side of your ship.

[kind glacier]

god bless. the hab rotation worked

[wraith quiver]

they should make a 2x1 ramp into a cockpit. and then like make a 1x1 ramp into a hab. id looove that

[kind glacier]

fucking hell. so... when it comes to Rockhopper Propeller Module, the right side of the hab has more snapping points, but when it comes to Cowlings, the left side has more snapping points

i'm seriously confused and impressed by how HG managed to make such a buggy building system with so many fked snapping points xD

thank you guys

[hardy oracle]

Let's just be happy that we can use these "features" 🙂

[wraith quiver]

use the right side rock hopper to nudge over a halg unit, and then snap a hab to it, then use the left side of that new hab as a new snapping point at half a unit forward

if that makes sense. i suck with words

[abstract crow]

Thank God for the bugs or we'd be having less crazy designs.

[terse kestrel]

Yes

And yes it's confusing 😂

HG said that the Corvette building system took their engine past its breaking point. But they still managed to make it work

[wraith quiver]

oh wow i read that too fast. didnt know about cowlings on the left

[terse kestrel]

So I really don't expect too much in the ways of improvements in the mechanics of building them. It sounds like they were just happy enough to get it working and in the game as is

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

[kind glacier]

no. scratch that

i'm just stupid. i forgot to place the vertically flipped Aerofoil

that's why it worked

now it's back to not working even with the rotate hab inside

[wraith quiver]

sometimes its funky and when you already have the hab rotated and its on top of another hab thats got the normal orientation, youll have to manually flip it

[abstract crow]

When it works, it best not to question why it worked. Just don't touch it again.

[wraith quiver]

this is the way.

[rotund geyser]

how are people getting tires on their vette builds?

[abstract crow]

Accessories in build mode

[terse kestrel]

Has anyone figured out how to place a ship landing pad on a Corvette yet?

I'm spending way too much time of my life trying to make this work

[wraith quiver]

i thought you just had to park in range of your base or something

ive never used base build parts on a corvette. i scared.

[terse kestrel]

Well you can place it. But it's non-functional once you take off

[wraith quiver]

yeah i think someone said thats just how it is. like if someones landed on the pad and you move your corvette the ship just stays there.

[hoary agate]

Building on corvette when inside base limits dont work?

[wraith quiver]

like floating

[abstract crow]

There's a mod that let's you build base pieces on corvettes as well. Landing pad still doesn't work well

[terse kestrel]

Pretty much. So you get the visual of a landing pad. And a flat spot to land on. But you can't actually Auto Land or save fuel taking off

Xbox. No mods

Sad

[abstract crow]

The mod allows the landing pad to work. Kinda. But the landed ship will remain where it landed even if the corvette takes off.

[rotund geyser]

in vette build mode or something else?

[abstract crow]

When you're on-foot and in/near your corvette.

[terse kestrel]

Some of those old school nms glitch builders that disappeared should come back and play with these Corvettes

They always had too much time on their hands and always figured out all the tricks

[rotund geyser]

I guess I don't have it unlocked or something, I dont see tires anywhere

[terse kestrel]

Doesn't the tire look like it's laying on its side a bit on the graphic?

It's laid flat like it's for ground placement decor. So if you're looking for a wheel standing up you're not going to see that

[rotund geyser]

which section is it in?

decoration?

[terse kestrel]

I think it's in the last tab. In the same area where you have the wheelbarrow and spark plugs

"tire"

[rotund geyser]

got it!

thank you

[weary totem]

And the 3rd corvette of the day

[wraith quiver]

Love that

i think im gonna chill on building for a while now that ive got one i want to stick with lmfao

[terse kestrel]

Who put these planets in my Ship Designer/Builder game?

[cursive lark]

Atlas

[weary totem]

Thanks

[kind glacier]

does the rocket launcher on a corvettes works the same as on normal ships? 1 hit and then wait for reload?

[weary totem]

No

And it's not a rocket😮‍💨

[kind glacier]

oh? you can fire multiple rockets before reloading?

[weary totem]

It's don't shoot rocket...

[kind glacier]

?

[weary totem]

I don' know how to explain install the rocket and you will see

[kind glacier]

it's a rocket...

i'm talking about the actual rocket launcher. not the weapons you place on the corvette

[hardy oracle]

Torpedo = cyclotron ballista. Rockets are a different weapon

[kind glacier]

but yeah. my question still stands. even with upgrades, will it still be the same as on normal ships? fires once and then wait for the reload?

[hardy oracle]

There is no corvette upgrades for the rockets

[white fable]

If by reload you mean not being able to fire continuously, then yes

[terse kestrel]

Laughs in Phase beam

[weary totem]

When I install the rocket I got the cyclotron

[kind glacier]

because you installed the TORPEDO launcher. i was talking about the ROCKET launcher. the technology. to the weapon you physically place on the ship

[golden radish]

that's right, they linked the torpedo launcher part to the cyclotron despite the 3d model and tooltip.

[cursive bobcat]

How you got the deadeye?

[kind glacier]

finish the expedition

and the collect the rewards

on your main save

[weary totem]

Ooh ok soory I misunderstand

[cursive bobcat]

Thanks

[weary totem]

It's because I don't speak english

[cursive bobcat]

How can I project the plants i have scanned on the outside of my corvette?

[weary totem]

I don't know sorry

[golden radish]

Wonder Projector decoration (blueprint learnable at the anomaly iirc)

[clear zephyr]

When Trading spare corvette parts at the Station for the ones you actually want, is there a way to "buy" several of an item at once? I seem to only be able to request them one at a time.

[terse kestrel]

It's one at a time as far as I know

Sucks but likely prevents duping or other exploits

[clear zephyr]

Alright, thanks. I'll manage

[wraith quiver]

dude imagine working on decorating your corvette and youre on top of it, and then while youre in the space station a starship flies in and just smacks you to the back of the station.

if my ship wasnt pizza crust thin, im sure i would have just had that happen

[abstract crow]

The rear of my last design was positioned right above the center landing spot. I got hit out of the ship builder quite a few times.

[dusky salmon]

How do you guys feel about it

[wet yew]

Woah it's amazing
how do you get the parts not attached

[dusky salmon]

The landing bay Opening counts as a connection point to the outer section and there is an antenna in there that counts as a connection point between top and bottom

[wet yew]

That's slick
Love it

[stark dirge]

Ik this is a pain in the butt to get into

[dusky salmon]

Yea, I have to be careful or it flings me a million miles away lol

[weary totem]

OOh t's original I like it

[wraith quiver]

guys halp. I need to find a way to keep the vent on the bottom when i remove the hab from the top. has anyone found a workaround for this?

[limpid karma]

thermal grill works somewhat

if you dont like how it works you gotta place it on an upsidedown hab

[wraith quiver]

yeah trying the grll now

[abstract crow]

Throw random parts at the problem until it works.

[wraith quiver]

lmfao exactly

[feral swan]

you guys ever finish building a corv and you like it to be fully smooth, but theres one spot where a hab just sticks out and there are no pieces in the catalogue that can fully cover it, and now your just mildly annoyed every time you use that ship?

[wraith quiver]

yes.

whenever those cargo boxes are useable im hoping that helps with blank spaces

[wraith quiver]

grille worked out great. just had to extend my nose out a bit

[kind glacier]

GUYS

this actually works. i can place 2 chairs, consoles and screens and make it look like it's all 1 room

holy shit

[wraith quiver]

oh thats super neat

[analog river]

Dang

[terse kestrel]

It's more like you're piloting with a view screen in Star Trek rather than in a cockpit

[sick kayak]

🔥🔥🔥

[terse kestrel]

Round cargo links ☝️

When you have shifted your hab a half space those cargo links make perfect connection points between them

They're only a quarter of a chunk wide. And really good for filling in gaps in your Corvette

[hardy harbor]

if only they were actual connectors 😛

[terse kestrel]

🤫

[kind glacier]

aye. that's the idea. you have the captain's/pilot's chair and 2 more seats in front for people to monitor the other things of the ship or control the guns

[terse kestrel]

Make believe connectors work just as well

My podracers engines are connected to the vehicle with two lamp posts.....

🤫

[hardy harbor]

How come one titan booster gives +11% manoeuvrability, and second only +1% ?

[terse kestrel]

Did you cap out?

[hardy harbor]

hmm?

[terse kestrel]

Do you have other engines beside the Titan boosters?

[hardy harbor]

arkadia heavy booster

[terse kestrel]

After you attach so many of a system part the rest are purely cosmetic and won't increase your stats

[hardy harbor]

No, I mean two modules within cap list different stats.

[terse kestrel]

And from what I've seen I think it's percentage based. So once you hit that wall you can't go over it.

Oh..... That one I don't know

I have one of my Titan sub thrusters at 3% 11% 14% And the other at 4%, 12% 13%

[maiden gale]

any tips or strats to take on the sentinal shut down mission? sucks as a solo

[feral swan]

cockpit got blown off mid takeoff, proppelling it into space leaving the body behind lol

[glass surge]

For Corvette engines it's use stats from the first three engines and anything else after that is pretty much decoration.

That's how it is with most functional Corvette modules that i've used in my builds.

You want to place your best three engines first and then anything to make your corvette look how you want or delete all the engines and redo it if your design allows you to redo the engines

[white fable]

Do u guys who use offset mechanics to build not worry about future updates where the ship might just come apart?

[open tartan]

nah they probably wont do that

anyway what do you guys think i can change about the rudder to make it look smoother

[echo falcon]

this my first time building a corvette an i was kinda jus adding stuff with no plan😭

[tranquil ingot]

How do you clip stuff together?

[grizzled phoenix]

Still better than I could do. I have a lopsided box of a Corvette

[white fable]

You should look it up on Yt, that would provide u with better explanation

[terse kestrel]

YouTube channel Bebblebum

He has put out a handful of videos recently that explain many tricks in Corvette building

Specifically look at his two most recent videos called FLIP 180° and OFFSET BUILDING.

Offset building is how you mesh parts together.

Flip 180 allows you to do things like build parts that refuse to rotate opposite directions

[ripe axle]

Corvette building has to be better on pc

I’m on Xbox and this ain’t it

[terse kestrel]

It's not much different other than being able to increase build limits easily. But you end up risking breaking your game or lagging everyone else's

[limpid karma]

maybe youre just not that good at making ships

i cant imagine theres any actual differences

[terse kestrel]

Glitch building and trick building has classically been easier with controllers THAN keyboard and mouse. Even on PC mini glitch builders still use controller for that

We just don't have the mods they have.

[limpid karma]

get weird man

[ripe axle]

Son of a bitch…you might be right. 🤣

I feel like the pieces don’t line up like they should? Just me?

[stark dirge]

It takes skill, me personally I either spend like an hour ship part farming so that I can freestyle on survival or just go to another save to practice

[stark dirge]

I feel like that too

[elder iron]

Certain pieces are kinda like "sets" where they mesh better with each other, but not as well with ones from a different set

[hallow verge]

I really hope they eventually let us go wild with a corvette's rotation. It'd be really cool if we could build a VERTICAL corvette, with the landing pad being normal, ofc, but since habs have their own gravity it'd be cool if we could just build vertically and walk normally inside :3

Yes I really wanna make a rocket I wanna Cosplay as NASA

Thoughts?

[ripe axle]

Like you should be able to free play like base building…?

[stark dirge]

Not exactly what i meant but i wouldn't be opposed to it

I would like if certain attachment parts could be placed sideways

[devout tiger]

I hope they let us dock smaller ships to vettes in the future

I want to have my corvette be like an orbital base that my smaller ship is also the cockpit of

[terse kestrel]

For a QOL change we need to be able to place entry and exit ramps on the front and back of the ship without the flip trick.

[devout tiger]

Like another class of ship but its smaller, has a fighter or hauler like cockpit, and the wings fold in to configurate to a corvette cockpit

[terse kestrel]

It's really nice having your exit ramp underneath your cockpit. When you get out of your seat you can look at the floor and the button to beam down can be activated through the floor

Then halfway up the ramp you can look up to the roof and climb into your cockpit. Bypassing those janky ass stairs completely

[pseudo charm]

a nice helpful tip

[pseudo charm]

heh so you're not the only one that believes we need better stairs eh?

Gosh I hope you put that in as a suggestion to HG.

[terse kestrel]

I

Hate

Those

Effing

Stairs
