[high tendon]

How are y'all making such beautiful ships, I'm practicing in creative mode but all of the attempts end up looking terrible

[twilit ibex]

Ngl had to watch a couple of different ppl to get the creativeness flowing but its really just the outside panels thats make it look good to me and thrusters placement

Literally what I started with and it just keep getting better

[turbid hedge]

That's a clean one

The derailer

[late dock]

Is it weird that I am having dirty thoughts?

[turbid hedge]

Yes because I intend to

[fossil prairie]

lol

[cosmic geyser]

My corvette stucks everytime i return to my bases when as my default ship and softlocking/death-inducing collides. any way to fix?

[tranquil hedge]

look at this chat

[lament abyss]

@tranquil hedge

No stickers in this channel please

[tranquil hedge]

an entire corvette library for sharing and getting

[late dock]

what is this

[hoary agate]

4 pics are the same corvette

[crude ravine]

is it possible to placed Salvaged Data's Parts onto Corvettes without mods/glitches ?

[kind glacier]

kinda but not quite. it looks like it's the same base design but with difference here and there. the most noticeable are the wings. basically, pick the exact design you like

[tranquil hedge]

nomansapp website where you can upload your corvette or get other's for free

[tranquil hedge]

I can only see 2

look at thruster line

they're probably isnt much change tho cuz its same line of jet ig

[high tendon]

Ngl, that already looks leagues better than anything I made xD

[frigid depot]

omg you just gave me an idea

Thanks!

[late dock]

Thanks, I uploaded my railgun there https://nomansapp.com/?corvette=3617658962

[remote crypt]

Name it yet?

[tranquil hedge]

👍

[late dock]

Someone gave me the worst idea ever and I decided to adopt it. #nms-corvette-discussion message

[remote crypt]

Lol

I had one for you

RailStar

ROFL

[late dock]

Fine I shall take this one

Imagine the poor guy who has to park in front of a giant railgun

the rail is longer than his ship

[remote crypt]

Lol

[late dock]

Wished they added minotaur bays to corvettes, or drop pods.
Sure we can beam directly down... but nothing beats dropping in with a mech guns blazing

[remote crypt]

Star Laughter, so named for the "face"

[slender vessel]

Ik this is the most basic type of corvette jet design but still
Opinions?

[weak locust]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[eager temple]

is there a way to fix these gaps between different modules? i bought already even a different type module to try but the gap still remains

[terse kestrel]

I haven't seen a gap that bad between hab pieces

What parts are those?

[slender vessel]

How do I fix this
If I flip the right scaffold it connects but looks asymmetrical

[blissful gorge]

problem is the engine on the right? maybe add another small deco piece?

[sage wolf]

Try reloading

[eager temple]

@sage wolf .... xD no thats not the solution i did replace the module already as told 2x with different type of modules so ofc i reloaded into the game already 5x + to see if something changes :P

[blissful gorge]

what is the part you are standing in? the tech screen doesnt really say anything since the parts share icons and arent labeled

[eager temple]

ambassador class

[blissful gorge]

i see just from 1 kind of hab to another

weird i never had that issue if they were snapped

[eager temple]

it kinda bothers me since always when i walk trough i want to fix it haha

[blissful gorge]

maybe its a base level of detail issue? because it adds little greeble things when they snap together

[eager temple]

kinda back new to the game again so i have no clue how to fix such things yeah but relog isnt the thing i wouldnt ask cause if it was that issue xD

but ty for trying @blissful gorge

[blissful gorge]

yeah i want to see if i can recreate it

looks like ambassador class hab next to titan class hab yes?

[eager temple]

titan class small one conected to the ambassador yes

sry for typos

[blissful gorge]

okay hwen i get back to station i will test and take screenshot to show u

looks like they are attached along sides, yes?

[eager temple]

you can check if you want i have stream up right now

but its along the lenght side yeah

[blissful gorge]

i can never decide where to put guns, they always look kind of ugly to me. maybe on the ring?

[eager temple]

was just having to struggle with exact same thing 1 min ago xD

[blissful gorge]

ikr 😛

@eager temple its a settings issue, base level of detail or something like that. See how on mine more pieces are loading in when the parts connect?

all my settings are min/standard except for base complexity which is ultra lol

[eager temple]

already back into the station and checking my settings

[blissful gorge]

but u can see the foam padding on the sides and the grate on the bottom which forms

u know, so u dont bang ur head or your knees XD

[eager temple]

i have almost everything on max

maybe something has to be put down to make it work? xD

[blissful gorge]

lol idk then, maybe memory/vram issue? thats beyond my ability to help. But the pieces look like they are snapping correctly, just some details not rendering

all i did was snap things together and take screenshot. If they werent snapping correctly there wouldnt even be a doorway between the habs

like if you had 1 hab rotated 180 degrees or glitched somehow it wouldnt have a doorway even if it looked like it matched up perfectly

[pseudo charm]

thats REALLY good body work on that ship! I like the whole spine at the top!

[blissful gorge]

thanks ❤️ just fine tuning a few things and its "done". trying to flip reactors upside down and having trouble. 2 medusas upside down on the bottom would look good

[pseudo charm]

this probably needs help. I was attempting to create something like an ASTERO from Eve Online.. tried to follow the tutorial for vertical stuff to make wings the way they should be and ust couldnt get it to go. Its three habs wide which is why it looks so.. fat. Astero is usually sleek and small as a spycraft ship. ANY feedback is welcomed! Its just not quiiiite where I want it yet on the outside.

[late dock]

Make a giant spinal railgun and then hide the guns in the spine.

[blissful gorge]

lol my ship is supposed to astero, did u recognize it at all?

[pseudo charm]

I did, thats why I mentioned you did the spine just perfectly so!

[blissful gorge]

trial and error lol. ive moved the spine up and down by half a step so many times. Of course, the simplest solution was ultimately the best, those spine pieces just directly on top of the habs

[pseudo charm]

I had a spine similar but then I ended up editing the middle too much and lost it

[late dock]

This is why you set a theme and then follow that theme to the end

[blissful gorge]

ive been literally rotating pieces just to make the decorative pieces default to a certain orientation. Like i glitched habs 90 degrees on their side to get the cargo pods to stay sticking out the right way

[pseudo charm]

my problem is that this ship is also experimental. it has hatches on the LEFT, RIGHT and in the front. and.. two floors.. and ALL connects so I can walk through! 🙂

Mitey not lying!

[late dock]

Still follow the theme

[slender vessel]

Are the circular windows that turn into octagons when connected to a titan hav supposed to be opaque?

[blissful gorge]

i mean problem with the deco pieces like vents isnt your thematic intentions, its that they flip to weird orientations if parts arent in just the right spot or they themselves arent glitched to the right orientation

[pseudo charm]

oh I feel you. boy do i feel you. I even had that cargo thing on the side.. to show the round tubes that you normally see on an astero.. but sheesh

[blissful gorge]

you should be able to see through them, see thats a station light showing through mine

i think in space its more evident

[eager temple]

this is how it looks like when i place it in build mode but as soon as i get out of creation mode and running into it i see the gap @blissful gorge but somehow this looks different than what it did look on your screen kinda

[blissful gorge]

yeah thats the end to end connection, different padding

the side to side connections have more padding since you are more likely to hit your knees 😄

[pseudo charm]

I am gonna go back and put the spine on heh

[eager temple]

getting crazy over this had to rebuilt this already 10x :(

just to see and try if anything works haha

[terse kestrel]

Hide your guns in your build

[blissful gorge]

@eager temple there isnt an issue with your build, its just the way your game is rendering it

[slender vessel]

For me it's frosted

[terse kestrel]

As you can see I have phasers wedged into the engine on either side

[blissful gorge]

i dont really like hiding functional parts, id rather find a way to make them look good if i can

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

[terse kestrel]

The ship itself also has three phasers hidden inside of it you can't see

Well the top of the ones on the engine can be seen.

And with the position of the ones hidden inside the ship it looks as if they're coming from the very tips of the wings.

So it's more trying to recreate your weapon. Giving it a different visual where it ejects from your ship.

[slender vessel]

Here you can see
The glass on the left is frosted while the cockpit glass is clear
Huh-

Is this a bug or a feature-?

[blissful gorge]

ill test mine in a sec lol

finally found a use for the hull linkage part but i had to rotate it to get it to work for me

the back of it is finally starting to come together

[pseudo charm]

@blissful gorge better with the spine, no? I still think i gotta smooth out the rest.. despite the fact that I know I won't be able to make it "thinner" because of the habs

[blissful gorge]

yeah nice! you can put one over the cockpit by deleting the cockpit, put hab, put spine, delete hab, put cockpit if that makes sense

its good for color too, really nice piece imo

[pseudo charm]

ohhh I will do that!

[blissful gorge]

you can try the one that has a slope on it too, also can try offsetting it back half a hab

is it just me or does this gap look weird

[blissful gorge]

can confirm these windows need to be cleaned, too much alien guts on them

cockpit view for reference lol

[slender vessel]

Bruh
So no matter what I do it will stay frosted

[blissful gorge]

i wish you didnt bring this to my attention lol

my settings are low idk if that has to do with it

[slender vessel]

Prolly that's it

I would increase my graphics settings if I had them in the first place
It's barely hanging on bruh

[blissful gorge]

i used to get massive FPS drops like stuttering every 2 seconds when on planets randomly, since nerfing all my settings i dont get that anymore

game still looks really good to me 🤷

[slender vessel]

Except this frosted glass

[blissful gorge]

f

[kind glacier]

do me a favor and go look at the window from the outside. do you notice something about it?

[slender vessel]

It's black
I can't see inside

[kind glacier]

aye

but look closely

[blissful gorge]

hexagon? dont keep me guessing

[slender vessel]

What am I looking for tho

[kind glacier]

do you see the hexagonal pattern?

[blissful gorge]

oh my god THERES A FACE STARING BACK AT ME

[slender vessel]

It's on a titan class hab so yes

[blissful gorge]

ive seen too much

[slender vessel]

[kind glacier]

it's there because it's not normal glass. i guess it might be meant to represent a protective layer on the glass. either to block radiation or to absorb light/radiation to convert to energy

[blissful gorge]

thats the exact face

[kind glacier]

the glass is not dirty/frosted. it's just a type of glass that is not clear on purpose

[slender vessel]

So we can open the hatch and go out in space but the glass needs protection

[terse kestrel]

SEAN INTENSIFIES

That's creepy 😭

[kind glacier]

pay attention to the hatch. you literally have a shield around the hatch that separates the interior of the space ship and the "outside"

it's just different type of aesthetics and technologies

you might not be a fan of it, but there are people who are

[slender vessel]

Bruh holup
If I attach a module to a corvette and I go to edit the corvette I don't lose the module right

Cuz idk why but I lost the deadeye cannon gun after completely redesigning my corvette

[blissful gorge]

well thanks for the guessing game about your lore

[terse kestrel]

If you are in some sort of creative or free crafting settings in your options you don't get parts returned when you delete them

[pseudo charm]

I hae confirmed... yours will be much more true to the Astero.. while mine is content being "your fat cousin" 🙂

[kind glacier]

not really. the window literally has a hexagonal pattern on the outside and it's missing on the inside. it literally has 2 layers and that's why it looks like that

[slender vessel]

I am in normal mode
I didn't touch any settings

[blissful gorge]

hey i like a thicc version of ships lol

[terse kestrel]

Then I'm not sure. Did it go back to your Corvette part cache at the station?

[blissful gorge]

turn of pvp if u havent lol, its a surprise you wont want when it happens

doesnt have to do with this, just advice in general

[slender vessel]

Bruh bug after bug

Now why is it that the corvette looks normal normally but when I go to picture mode it becomes way too dark

[blissful gorge]

GTAO turned off, turn it on to lowest setting

at least thats what fixed that exact bug for me

[slender vessel]

Oh 🗿

[blissful gorge]

someone in this channel gave me that fix and it worked 😛

[terse kestrel]

Or leave it turned on and always walk around with your scatter blaster ready to go

I've been ambushed like four times. Never been killed though.

[blissful gorge]

thats fun 🙂 nice work

the moment i saw the save file was a bunch of clear text json files i turned off pvp

[terse kestrel]

The trolls always go for long range kills. They don't want to actually fight you. So if someone starts shooting at you boost jump right in their face and give them the scatter blaster. They're never expecting it

[slender vessel]

Rate the corvette and the photo ( ignore the right thruster color )

[terse kestrel]

Nice mid size.

Really as long as you have space for three storage units and a wall refiner you don't need much else

[blissful gorge]

i like the way you incorporated the cockpit instead of just slapping it on there

you dont need storage units just get a freighter

[terse kestrel]

Especially because you can just delete storage and put up a different number unit. So really you can just get away with one wall of storage by just deleting and replacing whatever storage you need in the moment

I've yet to get a freighter on this current playthrough

[blissful gorge]

they are free

[slender vessel]

[blissful gorge]

just kill pirates and u get one

[terse kestrel]

Like that's my small Corvette. Just one half hab and a cockpit.

I use it more than any other ship.

[blissful gorge]

habs are overrated, i hope to some day make a habless ship

damn i really like the leggy landing gear on this

[pseudo charm]

LUNCH BREAK! Union rules. I did however try and extend the spine over the hab, it went too far so I scaled it back. will be most curious as to how you will do the wings on yours. I am now deciding between solid wing or saffolding aproache.

[terse kestrel]

Chonky

[blissful gorge]

my wings are done, if u mean the ring

[pseudo charm]

whoa whoa whoa how did you get the start of the wing on the right side?

[pseudo charm]

I see the one side with the wing. How did you manage that?

[blissful gorge]

you mean this? had to rotate hab 90 degrees using base computer

[pseudo charm]

base computer? you rotated a hab at a base near your ship and then.. prayed it stayed there? 🙂

[blissful gorge]

i used transfer glitch and a window. go to base, add window, transfer window to base, go to station, remove hab, go to base transfer window back to ship, then u snap habs with 90 degree rotations to window

the other rotations were a bit more involved than that, i have a rig at a settlement that has the alignments set up so i dont have to redo it every time

[pseudo charm]

yeah saw that from Beeblebum. heh. you brave. 🙂 I will try it AFTER lunch! 🙂 still lookin smooth tho!

[blissful gorge]

the window one is pretty simple and safe

[abstract crow]

Damn. I lost two of my ships trying to export and import one of my designs. Guess I got an excuse to build more again.

[blissful gorge]

i havent had a crash/issue, sticking to just corvette parts

i do want to put a teleporter and trade terminal on my ship, and ill be backing up my save first before i do that. that seems risky, as those parts are not normal corvette parts

[pseudo charm]

or.. if you on pc.. install the Supercomputer mod. Turns your mission computer into four things 🙂

[blissful gorge]

i mean everyone has their weird self-imposed constraints. I like the idea and visual of putting an actual portal on the ship. not really interested in mods/save editing but i have no problem with using glitches to do aesthetic things

not portal, teleporter lol. very different things in this game

although a teleporter is effectively a portal i suppose

[pseudo charm]

I have a trade computer and a teleporter (the telemat circle not the short range) on the ship for OTHER people to use. I also have the supercomputer installed so I can use the mission computer to teleport, trade, scan or even run missions.

Cultivate OPTIONS on a starship 🙂

[blissful gorge]

thats awesome 🙂

[terse kestrel]

Nobody on console should do these things. You're not able to adequately back up your saves for if the worst happens

[blissful gorge]

yeah i was wondering if i could get the planetary scanner on the starship

[toxic fractal]

Is there a list on what the maximum bonuses are from adding parts for reactors, shields, weapons, cargo, etc?

[terse kestrel]

End up borking your game

[blissful gorge]

i mean the bonuses are listed in the build menu, theres only so many parts of each type so its not hard to figure out the best ones. I would say that the stats arent worth chasing though, corvettes are so op when fully teched out

[toxic fractal]

Sorry, I'm new to actually kitting out a corvette; I've barely used them. I mean something like "more than 4 reactors won't get you more boost/range/manoeuvrability"

[blissful gorge]

for maneuverability you want medusa reactors and whatever the best thrusters are, and you can easily get that thing to 3-4k depending on supercharge slot layout. Weapons u can spam phase beam, the damage is multiplied up to 12x depending on how many weapon barrels you have

its 3 of a type like any bonus module. I think u can put 3 of each kind of reactor tho

[terse kestrel]

With supercharged slots and upgrade modules you can push your Corvette to ridiculous maneuverability capabilities. To the point where you find yourself scaling it back just to slow it down

[toxic fractal]

That's perfect. 12x phase beam maximum.

Ohhhhhh, same as upgrade modules?

Okay. Thank you!

[blissful gorge]

yeah so for phase beam just put 6 phase beam actual guns. And often you dont even need that many because 2 beams will come from your cockpit or center of ship sometimes even if you didnt put a gun there. its kind of buggy

[terse kestrel]

You just build 3 phase beams for the 12x

[toxic fractal]

I've heard that adding some various parts increases Tech slots even after uninstalling them, is that true?

[blissful gorge]

the phase beam array has 2 barrels

yeah you can do some tricky stuff with loading as much parts as possible to increase tech size. fill tech slots on ship, then add 3 of everythign in editor, then you should have magically more tech slots unlocked unless they fixed that

[terse kestrel]

Wait so another three will add to it?

Man I already melt crafts easy enough with three

[pseudo charm]

(supercomputer.. tho I really suspect eventually HG will give us something similar to it.. but not yet!)

[blissful gorge]

when it comes to tech on a corvette i find myself wishing i had LESS modules. i tend to devote most tech to getting to 3-4k maneuverability and buffing phase beam a bit, add the utility stuff, and you are pretty much out of room

every time i do something tricky to remove tech modules it just punishes me by scrambling my techs. for example, remove landing gear, fill tech slots, add them back, then techs are scrambled and landing gear are back.

3 habs also end up taking up tech slots, so if you can get away with just 1 or 2 that saves some tech slots

[toxic fractal]

Is it possible to change the interior wall colors on a corvette?

[blissful gorge]

its possible to glitch base part colors onto corvettes but i havent tried it yet, nor do i think it would affect wall colors

do the medusas look good in the wings? or is too much going on there now

[weary totem]

Oh it's a really cool idea I like it

[pseudo charm]

Cleverly hidden I almost mistook those for that long generator instead of for medusas. Well done. Your fat cousin willl get done when nap time is over 🙂 heheh.

[wraith quiver]

Which do you all thinks better lol

[lone tree]

I like the first one better.. thinner profile

[wraith quiver]

yeah im almost considering removing that room thats poking out.

[lone tree]

Yea, if it's not necessary than I would remove it too

But if you got some important things going on in that room, it's really not bad at all tbh

[blissful gorge]

i think im happy with the weapon positioning

[wraith quiver]

oh thats nuts

[grizzled prism]

Might've just gotten an idea how to make a LAAT. Eager to try this evening

[blissful gorge]

ooo thats the lander thingy right?

[devout parcel]

Chibi version of the Anaconda from Elite Dangerous as a Corvette!

[terse kestrel]

@blissful gorge

[wraith quiver]

love those tiny ships

[blissful gorge]

thats really cute

same

[terse kestrel]

So it's just a cockpit and entry ramp. There's technically a hab but it's flipped around and covering the cockpit. Not accessible and more a bridge than any thing else

[abstract crow]

Hate to say it, but there's already at least one good LAAT tutorial out there. But still worth a shot to make a unique one

[terse kestrel]

Right? Cute af

[blissful gorge]

yeah i love the way u did that. hooray habless!!

[terse kestrel]

Like less than 15 parts...

[blissful gorge]

if u do a transfer glitch u can put that window without having a hab

[terse kestrel]

But you're required to have at least one hab unit to finalize the build

[wraith quiver]

makes me wanna try to make a baby ship lol

[blissful gorge]

really? damn that sucks

[terse kestrel]

Yep

[blissful gorge]

i was worried there was a hab requirement. never noticed because i always have one

[terse kestrel]

So you can incorporate it somewhere in the ship and technically not have one. But it will still be there somewhere

[blissful gorge]

always hab one*

[terse kestrel]

Lol

But I have to redo it because the hab is about half an inch off

It's.....not.... centered

That's some bs 😭

[wraith quiver]

oh tht would bug the hell out of me tbh

[terse kestrel]

Right?

Flying back to the space station now to redo it

[wraith quiver]

we need more anti gravity "landing gear"

or for the rock hoppers to count

[toxic fractal]

If I figure out a clever way to position parts but then everything is over on the side of the construction area, will it re-center after I save? or do I need to figure out how to rebuild it?

[blissful gorge]

a or b, or do the windows look bad on both? I dont want to ruin the chines/spines look

they make the habs feel more spacious, but they look really dumb when adjacent since they bubble around and clip into each other on both sides

[wraith quiver]

man i cant wait for more paarts lol

[blissful gorge]

do you have enough thrusters? 😛

[wraith quiver]

NO

[weary totem]

Me too

I really want more part for the front

[graceful cape]

Is it okay if i gonna take some inspiration from it?

[blissful gorge]

nope dont be inspired by anything ever

[wraith quiver]

mannnn sleek is better but i hate seeing those damn landing spheres

[blissful gorge]

true creativity only exists in a vacuum

[blissful gorge]

use the other landing gears?

[wraith quiver]

i dont like any other ones lol

[sinful light]

any advice on what to put up top?

[blissful gorge]

the leggy one is pretty sweet, will retract into thrusters in flight. idk its my fav these days

[wraith quiver]

those are sick but not for my build

[blissful gorge]

the round radar dish piece is awesome on the top of ships imo if u can make that work

[sinful light]

wait

crazy idea

[wraith quiver]

thermal grilles end up being real helpful when i cant find what to place. Radar dish. Air coolers etc

[sinful light]

If I put the radar dish and then use a wonder projector to project on of the energy ball pets that would look sick

thx

[coarse beacon]

I have a fever that only more thrusters can treat

[blissful gorge]

thunderbird landing gear ARE thrusters, just saying 😄

im having issues with greebling a flat area myself. i want radiator vents on the bottom of something, but to snap them i cant turn them 90 degrees 🙁

[toxic fractal]

What's the best basic module to buy several of and then immediately trade for advanced modules?

[blissful gorge]

i wish i could get a hab to go upside down. if anyone flips a hab upside down let me know how

[weak rune]

Some pics of my corvette build. Modeled after a hover attack copter. Decent maneuverability at 408 and small foot print for landing. She's called I Bleed Blue.

Made 80 mil on spare parts

Gotta love farming high shipping supply systems with hazardous weather and salvage combined.

[wraith quiver]

It’s cool that they count for both

[blissful gorge]

tech wise i dont think so but it might let you take off without adding anything else, they do leave thruster trails

[wraith quiver]

Meaning as a build requirement they count as both landing gear and thrusters

I honestly hadn’t checked how they are in tech lol

[dense moth]

Sexy

[toxic fractal]

Ohhhh, we can't use the purchased corvette modules to trade up for advanced modules at all

[trail hornet]

random but has anyone ever tried making Zephyr 1 from agents of SHIELD?

i'm tempted to try lol

[limpid karma]

what is that

[blissful gorge]

lots of things in that shape out there, yet another triangle shaped jet thing

google it, i did

[trail hornet]

it's a plane spaceship time machine with hyperspeed

[limpid karma]

pic?

[trail hornet]

feels super fitting for nms tbh

[trail hornet]

one sec

[blissful gorge]

lol have to hand feed some chuds

[limpid karma]

true..

[trail hornet]

literally my favorite flying machine in all of existence

[limpid karma]

thats a tough one

[trail hornet]

yeah fr lol

i imagine the little vertical wings at the back are the toughest part but then again i have little to no building knowledge

but hey, if i can build it in trailmakers, i'm sure it wont be too hard, right?

[limpid karma]

i think youll have problems with the propellers in the wings

[blissful gorge]

you could use the cargo port things to represent the vtol jets

[trail hornet]

ohh yeah

[trail hornet]

thats exactly my idea lmao

[blissful gorge]

nice thing is if they dont have a hab to snap to they will stick straight up, which is perfect

i'm gonna have to study corvette building tips and tricks in my free time lmao 😭

[pseudo charm]

@raven rover I think I made my first chonky ship. Ohh my. THree hatches. one in front, one on left and right 🙂

[trail hornet]

i only got into nms this month and started corvette building very recently so i think i need more time to refine my skills before i can tackle it

[trail hornet]

it's giving milano vibes but thats mainly bec of the color scheme lol

[pseudo charm]

@blissful gorge I ended up merging the Iron Vulture with some touches of the Asteros after all. since it was a wide ship 🙂

[blissful gorge]

nice job with the rotated hatches

[pseudo charm]

heh well thank you, and thank the guardians!

[blissful gorge]

honestly i dont see the astero but nice work 😛

[pseudo charm]

gotta be combat ready 🙂 only the spine.

[blissful gorge]

oh right

[pseudo charm]

Touches does not mean "oh thats' an astero!" 🙂

[trail hornet]

ofc man!! looks absolutely amazing too

[blissful gorge]

yeah looks good i like the slope u put on it

i realized on the astero i have a whole floor of habs that are completely covered, so i am removing the habs

[pseudo charm]

I still hate that it feels fat. but three habs you know

[trail hornet]

question, how did you make the entryways sideways? is that just normal rotation that i've never seen before?

[blissful gorge]

going to try a "habless" interior

[pseudo charm]

there's a tutorial on youtube. you want the link?

[pseudo charm]

how.. you even.. gonna fly it then?

[trail hornet]

oh that'd be awesome thanks!

[blissful gorge]

it has 1 hab to get into it, ill show u

[pseudo charm]

First https://youtu.be/yCysN-ejYG0?si=32ptN2oQFSN-9a7E Then towards the end of https://youtu.be/FrbetZzNSZ0?si=1TM7DDkE96GCgDOf is where he talks about how to traverse between floors that are connected at 90 degreees

[trail hornet]

sweet!! i'm def saving these for later.

[blissful gorge]

see? habless

its a prototype, if this doesnt work i can just add them back in

open areas on the sides will have windows

hmm and ill have to decide if i care to patch these holes

[trail hornet]

currently making an entire notes sheet of youtube links and building tips for corvette making 😭

[blissful gorge]

i do love the feel of the rear hatch sandwiched between these thrusters tho, the back doesnt really need any work at all it just works

careful its addicting. just when i thought i was "done" im doing this crazy shit

that tulikko gaming guy has the 180 rotation kind of wrong, plus his videos are annoying. u jsut need 1 hab on top of another, put a stairway in the bottom one, then rotate the bottom one. done

[toxic fractal]

Can the photon cannon never be uninstalled even if there's no photon cannon array installed?

[violet swallow]

I think as long there is another weapon installed (as tech) you can remove the photon cannon, it comes pre-installed because its the default weapon

[blissful gorge]

how?

[violet swallow]

I did the same on a starship, and because corvettes use the same upgrades it should work

[violet swallow]

So first install another weapon in the ship, then move the cursor over the photon cannon and use the option to remove it

This will not work if the photon cannon is the only weapon installed

[blissful gorge]

never has worked for me

ive even used a save editor to delete it, no luck

[violet swallow]

On a corvette?

[blissful gorge]

yes

[violet swallow]

Maybe because you have a photon cannon installed as a turret in the corvette

[blissful gorge]

lol no

[smoky dawn]

Yeah that’s ok, go crazy with it!!

[blissful gorge]

show me a screenshot of a corvette without photon cannon

[toxic fractal]

Hm, nope, now I have the Deadeye Cannon, the Positron Ejector, and the Photon Cannon, none of which can be removed. Which is fine for the Deadeye and the Positron, but there's no Photon Cannon Array to lock in the Photon Cannon.

[violet swallow]

Cant, im not in game (also i said i did this in a starship, i though that possibly works too on the corvette)

[toxic fractal]

Maybe it doesn't work right with the Deadeye...

[blissful gorge]

but it specifically doesnt with corvette... this is the corvette channel

[violet swallow]

Now i know it doesnt

Idk i never removed the photon from my corvette

[pseudo charm]

I really gotta stop editing this thing or I am never gonna get off the ground.. Mitey just not know when to leave well enough alone 🙂

[blissful gorge]

okay the spine with that slope in the back makes it look like a tank turret lol

[violet swallow]

Lol

[blissful gorge]

which is cool

[violet swallow]

Really nice shape

[blissful gorge]

how do you like the windows like that? not too fucky on the inside?

[pseudo charm]

well thank you sir!

[fervent mist]

I got 4106.8 maneuverability and 2458 hyperdrive. I never need fuel to warp or pulse drive. 2 big floors with vip bedroom, office chill pad, 4 beds not including bed room and all the necessary stuff. I think I can get it to 4200 and done with obsessing with maneuverability

[pseudo charm]

you mean the windows on the side? oh they fit fine. on darker planets those windows actually work as headlights too

[blissful gorge]

i mean how they clip together at 90 degrees

[violet swallow]

Reminder there is a limit of speed, i think you are fine with that lol

[trail hornet]

boy do i sure wish we had grid snapping for decor parts inside the habs

[pseudo charm]

just so weird it doesn't feel as fat when I am flying from behind.

[pseudo charm]

a picture one moment.

[blissful gorge]

wireglitch with base computer 🙂

its what im doing right now

[trail hornet]

whats that?

[violet swallow]

Question, is it possible put a portal in a corvette with a ton of glitches?

[fervent mist]

Ok, so will chill with that and just focus on shield, hyperdrive, and maybe some damage potential but I have emergency warp if needed. More of an explorer than fighter

[pseudo charm]

@blissful gorge this is how they clip inside. isnt too bad as it will give you the feel of an extended wall

[blissful gorge]

corvettes can do insane damage with phase beams, the tech doesnt really matter

[violet swallow]

Perhaps damage could be good, you can fix your shield with sodium during combat

[graceful cape]

@smoky dawn whatchu think

[fervent mist]

Need last 2 figurines and rainbow thruster for adjacency bonus

yeah shields dont matter just bind sodium to a hotkey

[pseudo charm]

I am surprised you mention phase beams as I went with just photons. tho so pretty how all four of them randomly fire one after another 🙂

[fervent mist]

Mine is red too. Chromatic metal red

[violet swallow]

Well you can just use the basic for shields and go wild

[pseudo charm]

I might need to try and hack the color menu and see if I can paint some of that stuff wooden brown hmm

[fervent mist]

I have empty tech slots so not a bad idea

[violet swallow]

Remember your cannons in the ship count for adyency and increase damage to the weapon itself

You guys think we should have a teleporter in the corvette? Or would that make it too OP? (Like a way to get back in if you are a bit far)

[pseudo charm]

whoops. Mitey made a slight boo boo in the back room tho it doesn't look all that bad does it

[smoky dawn]

Ooooh I like it! The spines on the side really add a lot to it

[fervent mist]

Ok, I obsessed with maneuverability so need to work on the other parts. Is 2458 hyperdrive good?

[violet swallow]

Eh, looks like youll hit your head often xd

[fervent mist]

It should go to at least 2500 once I get the figurine from nexus

Anomaly

[trail hornet]

i wish we had better color options for corvettes

[fervent mist]

It’s cool but you can always summon it

[trail hornet]

like imagine color wheels and picking accent colors and primary colors independently

[violet swallow]

Depends: want to fly to next door system? More than enough. Want to compeate against a fully modded freighter? Not too much power

So its how far you want to travel honestly

[pseudo charm]

Mitey gek. ah hbut for those tall peoples that might not be as good

[violet swallow]

LOL

[fervent mist]

I never use my freighter. I like the corvette because it’s a mobile space home and can be designed your own way. I seem to not have trouble hyper driving with my stats which is why shield and weapons will be next objective

Maybe build a war version of a corvette next

[blissful gorge]

i mean if the guy is really trying to minmax phase beams have their damage multiplied by the number of barrels up to 12 on corvettes right now

[fervent mist]

Thank you

[violet swallow]

So yeah its up to you how far you want to travel

[blissful gorge]

i used to try to minmax the tech on corvettes until i realized its so brokenly powerful theres no reason to

[fervent mist]

I’m on ps5 btw

[trail hornet]

i wanna build another corvette so bad but can't rn 💔

[violet swallow]

There are engines that give hyperdrive range so you can use that to your favor

[balmy cloud]

Small head

Flat head

Not sure which one fits best lol. Thoughts?

[fervent mist]

True and at this point, it’s just “I did it, look at the stats” Been good so far, just would be cool to run with a crew on my corvette

[trail hornet]

that paint job is peak

[blissful gorge]

i like the first one

[violet swallow]

I say flat, however since you can always modify the ship, try both and see if you have good visibility and like the looks

[trail hornet]

also i'd pick second one

[violet swallow]

Perhaps you find that you want a mix of both

[balmy cloud]

I tried but wouldn’t get it to work lol

[graceful cape]

updated the claws

[violet swallow]

I think the top and bottom is a bit flat, but i really like it!

[balmy cloud]

Zoidberg

I like your mantis shrimp

[pseudo charm]

that moment when you did edits and then are not sure if you should apply...

[abstract crow]

Dew it

[pseudo charm]

Mitey save it and think on it. its big channge heh

[abstract crow]

No think. Only do.

[terse kestrel]

Cleanest angles I've been able to make

I found when trying to do turns and curves it's easier to use heavy linkage, hull linkage, industrial joints and other items. Rather than using habs to manipulate directions all the time

[graceful cape]

lets be seriously serious alr? does this go hard or its too stupid to go hard?

[dense moth]

Goes hard

[trail hornet]

love it tbh

[balmy cloud]

Has anyone tried to reproduce the Eve ship "Tristan" yet? Friggin' loved that little thing.

Seems feasily with all your glitch building lol

[blissful gorge]

just finished my astero, nice idea

ive been wanting to do a vertical ship from eve, and that one is a nice balance, not too vertical to be feasible in this game

tfw you show up at the nexus and no one has looked at your ship yet but its already been 10 seconds...

[balmy cloud]

Pics of the astero?

[blissful gorge]

ill take some ss in a few minutes

its wild to see people use angles/curves and just use it spam habs

[blissful gorge]

i like this 🙂

#nms-showcase-corvettes message

wow i really fucked up those screenshots. thanks steam/nms

they look terrible lol

[wooden grail]

If you are on Windows use the snip tool instead

The images look so much better with it

[blissful gorge]

i figured the ingame screenshot tool would just work since i was doing a couple of them. had no idea it would do that....

[wooden grail]

It’s a steam thing I think

Makes everything chunky

[balmy cloud]

Wait is that a shield battery upwards

How the hell did you turn that lol

[ancient rapids]

where do you find these cockpits?

Also, when you add more guns they don’t add stats, but do they all shoot?

[balmy cloud]

It’s the titan?

[ancient rapids]

i dont think thats the titan cockpit

[balmy cloud]

With and without extra parts

Sure it is

[ancient rapids]

does look like that one to me

oh i think its the thunderbird

[balmy cloud]

Ah shit yes it is

[ancient rapids]

do you just go farming for scraps on planets for the parts?

[blissful gorge]

A lot of part rotations, have pretty much every orientation on here except for upside down

[balmy cloud]

I’ve never gotten the large ass battery to rotate for me

[balmy cloud]

I did for most of my first build, the rusty hot rod. That and traded for what I want with the station

Then realised I was done grinding and found out there’s a creative mode lol

[blissful gorge]

you cant just sweet talk them into rotating, have to use a base computer or the decoration editing to create a snap point

[balmy cloud]

What ._.

[blissful gorge]

leave the corvette builder and press z

or use a settlement and glitches to make perfect snap points

[balmy cloud]

Oh damnit there’s options for that?! Oh man, next level building

[balmy cloud]

I grinded most of that, hence it’s bare - trading did most of it

[blissful gorge]

hey i like that 😄

[balmy cloud]

Weird steam quality lol

[ancient rapids]

Damn

Looks sick

[balmy cloud]

Better pixels

Was posted recently, sorry bout the spam. That’s the interior style @ancient rapids

Overgrown madness

[solid stone]

Noice 💯 ✨

[ancient rapids]

Man this looks awesome

Dw about spam

[solid stone]

Anyone else add a table and chairs on the Corvette for some star-gazing ? 😂

[balmy cloud]

Hahaha that’s an awesome idea

So do all the turrets shoot, in a cosmetic fashion? Or only the ones that are actually adding stats

[trail hornet]

is there any way to get cowlings on their side? like facing horizontally but rotated 90° on their sides?

[balmy cloud]

Ergo, can I make a small turret platform with 20 laser beams coming out?

[trail hornet]

tryna fill in this part here

[blissful gorge]

using only offsets in the corvette editor you could fill it in with maybe 1 forwards and 1 backwards cylindrical cowling, forget the name

to roll some parts on their side you need to use a glitch or rotate things in free place

[trail hornet]

wait whats free place? 😭

[blissful gorge]

keybind is v on pc

[trail hornet]

alright i'ma try that

[blissful gorge]

you have to leave the corvette editor

theres youtube videos about it if you search

[trail hornet]

v doesnt do anything for me so i'ma check youtube

[blissful gorge]

you will have to test, the visuals of weapons are pretty buggy

[blissful gorge]

you are probably in the corvette editor

[trail hornet]

i'm just standing next to my corvette

not in any editor

[blissful gorge]

its a build editor option, see top bar

[trail hornet]

ohhh that

[blissful gorge]

ye sorry if i wasnt being clear 🙂

[trail hornet]

its all good nw

[blissful gorge]

basically if you free place one of the things that snaps to habs, you can then snap the hab to that thing in corvette editor

and there are numerous techniques of getting those free placements somewhat precise, all without ever leaving the station

[trail hornet]

ohhhh thats smart

i wish you could place a hab in the middle infront of two habs that are side by side and actually be able to get into it

[blissful gorge]

lol this guy made a ship with an office building on it

[blissful gorge]

its really interesting you say that, let me show u something...

[trail hornet]

lol nice

[trail hornet]

oh my god thats a lifesaver

[blissful gorge]

ur gonna be dissapointed

[trail hornet]

awh

[blissful gorge]

so you can kind of see where my habs should be, behind the cockpit right?

[trail hornet]

oh yea

[blissful gorge]

i just completely covered them in parts then deleted them. note the ladder to get in from bottom.

cockpit and hatches are always 100% open

but by doing that i am able to have that 2-wide section with the windows you can see from outside

[trail hornet]

ohh thats actually kinda helpful

[blissful gorge]

yeah its tricky because you have to use parts that will stay where you put them. like those vent pieces that are the walls there, i had to use a glitch to rotate them otherwise they would rotate straight up when not attched to something

[trail hornet]

very smart

[idle canopy]

saw his monstrosity at the anomaly yesterday

[wet coyote]

im not supposed to be able to do this am i...

warhawk or direwolf maybe?

you can still get into it. nothing is connected to my cockpit on my current ship, if u mean hab

[trail hornet]

guys

i did it

i made (or at least tried to make) Zephyr 1!!!

pics coming in a sec

[blissful gorge]

oh i had another idea for your vtol thrusters, those round reactors

[trail hornet]

i tried those, found that the single rockhopper propellers looked better

[blissful gorge]

oh that also makes sense lol. and they have effects when u land

[trail hornet]

yea they're cool

looks sick

[terse kestrel]

Those things should provide landing and maneuverability bonuses

[trail hornet]

fr

[blissful gorge]

oh god please not more tech slots i need those

[trail hornet]

guys go check it out

i wanna make the wings look better but simply don't have the energy today 😔

[terse kestrel]

I love this setup with the cockpit above and in front of the ramp

[blissful gorge]

just following my art source, not my idea really

[terse kestrel]

It makes it so as soon as you get up from your seat you can look down at the floor and activate the "beam down to planet" button

[blissful gorge]

wait what? let me try this

i miss having stairs out of the roof behind the pilot seat like i have on my other ship

[terse kestrel]

Yeah it's just a little ahead of you and to the right. To the left is the hatch release button

[blissful gorge]

my favorite way to beam down

thanks for tip!

[terse kestrel]

👍

Those stairs are janky. The less you have to use them the better

[blissful gorge]

about 1 walkway too far forward, but its the way it is. still faster than going down the stairs. Also i noticed beaming up takes me to my rear hatch which is inline with my cockpit, no stairs required

its possible to use ramps to move up and down instead of stairs, but havent experimented with them much. like the corvette pieces

takes up a lot of space

the "ring" kind of forms a reticle

[dull viper]

I really wanna see a corvette in the anomaly some day and its just a m4a1

literally a giant flying rifle

[blissful gorge]

i guess be the change you want to see in the world

i could definitely see it being possible, theres enough round parts

can you safely store corvettes?

[grizzled prism]

Yeah, the troop carrier

Just finished it

[grizzled prism]

It won't let you

[blissful gorge]

wow... thats a harsh limit ;-; guess ill have to figure out how to export/backup

[willow lichen]

I have zero idea on what to make

[blissful gorge]

well since you wrote that im guessing you want ideas? Here is what im looking at https://gamemodels3d.com/games/eveonline/

[abstract crow]

Rebuilding my largest design now that I can make larger turrets and all that jazz. The question is: Which looks better for the side of the ship? A or B? A looks better imo, but B gives me the ability to have more windows for a more scenic flight.

[terse kestrel]

From a reddit post ☝️

Make sense. So if you have your cockpit in your tech slots you did the wrong order.

This also means you want

-3 phaser beams before any other weapon

-3 of your best engine before addition of any cosmetic

-3 large Habs before any half Habs for extra inventory bonus

[lapis merlin]

Did the guy who posted that just figure that out? I’ve been doing that since day one lol

[tawny beacon]

Anyone having trouble with the annoying ass stairs just place barricade decoration as railings

[gentle turtle]

That's what I've been doing, adding them as railings. The stairs are soooooo annoying

[blissful gorge]

ill never understand the obsession with habs and arcadia wings lol, but you sure did a lot of them

[blissful gorge]

any neat tricks on placing those besides painfully doing each one manually?

[autumn rapids]

opinions?

idk if i like it or not

[blissful gorge]

i mean cover your habs, have you no shame?

[autumn rapids]

how?

idk any good design

also no where near finished at all

[pseudo charm]

what you shaming the man for! Maybe he likes.. uh.. you know. bare bones heh. Maybe he's autophage!

[echo falcon]

made a smaller corvette i think i fw this one more tbh

[echo falcon]

try using the lil vents to give it a more angled look

i lowkey was struggling too

[blissful gorge]

cute, i like how it compliments the cockpit design

s tier use of vents 😄

mitey i need you to shame me until i have made this

[sinful light]

is there any way to build some sort of landing pad for my corvette

[cursive lark]

Nope

[sinful light]

I've seen people build something to land their corvette at their base

[cursive lark]

You can build yourself a platform but there's no corvette landing pad build piece

[dawn panther]

I commited a sin!

[cursive lark]

This is breaking my brain how did you do that

[dawn panther]

I flipped a fab and built my ship backwards

[dawn panther]

Yes

I just put this together quickly

But yeah you totally can fly a backwards flying ship

[cursive lark]

That's so funny

[dawn panther]

First person view puts you exactly where you'd expect. Third Person Corrects it so that its actually flyable

The gun shoots out the back (forward) in the correct orientation.

[cursive lark]

I need to try that now

[late dock]

Did someone say... vents? Is that enough vents?

[hardy harbor]

Is part cache a safe storage?

[blissful gorge]

corvettes always land at the same place at a settlement so you can build a pad at a settlement. when u teleport there the corvette is always in same spot

[hardy harbor]

Usually it's the spote where settlement builds a pad

at least first one

[dawn panther]

I write sins not tragedies apparently

[hardy harbor]

how

how one would enter cockpit?

[dawn panther]

Hab rotation

You can reach over the engine

Theres some clearence to activate the chair.

[hardy harbor]

for me reaching outside of cockpit doesn't work

coming back to my question - is it safe leave corvette parts stored in cache?

[late dock]

why wouldnt it be?

[hardy harbor]

NMS

[late dock]

That is true!

[hardy harbor]

sometimes that's "No man's storage" 😛

Especially for refiners

[late dock]

The number of times things vanish from my refiners... ROFL

[hardy harbor]

the portable refiners essentially designed like that. Now corvette refiners are the most stable ones

[late dock]

but refiners and storages have different codes, the corvette cache is on the same category as storage containers iirc

[hardy harbor]

It's a stoarge as in geneal term for storage

portable refiners fail because their content is boundto x,y,z in local coordinates. Base refiners fail because they are bound to planets coordiantes. Corvette's were originally like portable, alowing dupe. Now they are identified by corvette

[late dock]

meanwhile freighter refiners fail all the time

[hardy harbor]

It's same as base

and extractors reset their contnt on first load of freighter per session ;/

[red quarry]

anyone know how i would make the front pointed? i've ran out of ideas

[hardy harbor]

ofsetted nacelles?

[red quarry]

how do i do that

[hardy harbor]

These prongs only squished together?

[red quarry]

I'm not following

or I don't get it

[echo falcon]

size comparison of my two corvettes next to my other ships

[echo falcon]

our corvettes are a lil similar

[red quarry]

i think i figured it out, looks a little funky

[echo falcon]

looks tuff almost like a venator class without the control centers at the top

[raw seal]

Does anyone know how we sell corvette ships? I have 3 somehow. I want to get rid of one I don't want anymore. Thanks in advance!

[raw seal]

With this new update. The regular starships look like scout ships compared to corvette starships.

[cobalt flame]

The easiest way to rid off a Corvette is to trade it with an NPC. The NPC will take it and vanishes to never be seen again. You won't get anything for it, though.

[blissful gorge]

cant imagine having too many corvettes wow

[raw seal]

Yes, when you try different styles / builds lol 💀

[blissful gorge]

im saying i need all ship slots for corvettes lol

[raw seal]

Thanks! I had thought of that right when I came to look. I had forgotten about NPCs.

[raw seal]

Oh I figured. I just meant when u want to see different styles it becomes addictive and then u have a shit ton all of a sudden lol.

And sadly Hello Games made it to where the landing pad for them is OUTSIDE of the freighter and up in the air... such a strange concept.

[echo falcon]

ima probably end up getting rid of one of my exotics for another corvette, i wish there was a way to give ships to ppl so it wouldn’t go to waste tho

[blissful gorge]

trade to npc, then the player trades the npc. does that not still work?

[cobalt flame]

Nope. Doesn't work

[blissful gorge]

all my starships are in storage for more corvette space

[blissful gorge]

dam

[raw seal]

I just wish they'd let us store corvettes in a (vehicle lot) bank system or blueprint the ships.

[glass surge]

If you want to get ride of a corvette strip it down to a basic version so you keep most the parts you use, trade with a npc star ship(hopefully a high class ship), scrap new ship to free up slot

[blissful gorge]

yeah hopefully those features come

[raw seal]

Free money. Love it. But see when you try to do that you can't restore the parts back into your inventory once it's finalized.

I tried that.

[blissful gorge]

i am slowly mastering the ambassador wing module. what a pain in ass part

[echo falcon]

its so clunky & hard to style

[blissful gorge]

saves a lot of part count for a replica build im working on

[echo falcon]

that actually blends together pretty well

i wanna try a bulkier ship build cus all mine are kinda supposed to be more streamlined

[glass surge]

you could only restore the parts you take off before trading the corvette and make it into a basic corvette, any parts you take off go into exosuit inventory and then you put then into the corvette cache.

Kind of why i say strip it to a basic corvette so you only get rid of the most basic parts when trading it at least until HG adds a corvette scraping feature

[cobalt flame]

Players with multiple Corvettes probably don't grind parts and simply set difficulty to no costs.

[echo falcon]

im a proud custom gamemode player, i play this to collect ships & see as many planets as i can

[glass surge]

I mean I only have 2 corvette on separate saves and i still rather grind parts and not do no cost; but that's just how i play

I do have a creative save but that's strictly corvette design

[cobalt flame]

I can absolutely not be bothered with grinding parts to build. 😄

Pausing a build to grind parts to finish it just doesn't work for me.

It disturbs my flow and creativity.

[echo falcon]

having a great idea for a vette design & running out of parts sounds like torture

[timber sage]

I have like 3 corvettes. I'm trying to take one apart. How can I do it?

[echo falcon]

you can edit your vette in space stations

other than that idk wym

[glass surge]

right now you have only take it down to the base corvette requirements at space stations; you can't fully get rid of them

[raw seal]

A monstrous corvette would require lots of farmed parts. But to have some basic ones only requires having big money. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[cobalt flame]

If you're building Corvette number umpteenth, grinding parts really is no joy.

Did that with base building before and got sick of the grind. Creative mode is my friend.

[violet swallow]

can you share the coords for that red exotic with large wings?

[echo falcon]

yea i gotchu gimme a second, i will say i was personally disappointed in it because the wings dont stay like that when it takes off

they kinda come together at the bottom

[violet swallow]

oh, thats the thing i like of those wings LOL

[echo falcon]

it is still one of my favorites🙏🏾

[violet swallow]

oh wait, this is the channel for corvettes, share it in the #nms-legacy-ships

[hardy harbor]

I can't fit right proportions into landing pad XD. Oh, and 94 parts

[old lynx]

The most annoying part is how game rotates me 180° on exit, to face the exit.
Except this is the only gave what does it and I rotate by myself again out of habit 😅

[balmy cloud]

That’s bulky and sexy

[old lynx]

I have too many engines on my corvette (7), but I like the look. Is there a way too choose which one will appear in the technology inventory?

[tulip jackal]

Not that I know of. I just put all the engines on it and turned it into a glorified bus for 1000-ly jumps

[hardy harbor]

ones you pace first or ones that are better.. not sure..

[dire pebble]

Can a corvette cockpit be up graded? Example I have an Ambassador cockpit that rated a “C” can it get upgraded?

[dark latch]

Nope

Fixed classes arbitrarily assigned by HG

[balmy cloud]

You can level up the grade of the ship though?

Also, what’s your go-to hab styles?

[remote crypt]

Thunderbird for me

I prefer the ambassador room modules appearance but it's too sterile and clean

[glass surge]

For any corvette tech it's the first three that you'll see in the tech tree after that it's just decoration.

For engines I would say mount the best stat ones for your first three and then anything after that is styling; You might have to delete the engines and add the ones you want for tech and then for decoration after.

Reactor's are different as each type boost different things so you can have more than 3 reactors.

I suggest Medusa reactors for the cockpit module and also putting the cockpit module in a supercharged slot if you want to boost maneuverability.

[abstract crow]

Titan hab is for storage and my keel designs, ambassador is for everything else.

[balmy cloud]

Oh shit

Booster animation is p0retty cool yeah, lightning around the engines]

Black Widow, finished!

[gentle turtle]

I like titan for the hab style and all the modules, very scrappy

I want to do one with ambassador, it's so nice and clean

[abstract crow]

Shame it's so bright and cramped.

[abstract crow]

My Eclipse-class heavy cruiser design is coming along nicely. Might bring the bridge section forward a bit so the rear battery isn't as cramped, or build one more forward battery to balance it out. Also, I need to learn how to design a custom bridge with a shrunken cockpit to make the bridge look better.

[fair pilot]

"sleek" builds are possible without mods? Without glitches?

[abstract crow]

Yes. May not be as "sleek" without using glitches, but you could do something "sleek".

[abstract crow]

Glitches are kinda vital for a more aerodynamic design because it helps parts fit together more tightly.

[remote crypt]

No mods, no glitching

[abstract crow]

But, since you are a mod, wouldn't there technically be a mod involved?

[blissful gorge]

theres some weird new ideas that glitches include using vent snap points and rockhopper fans to offset parts. if you dont use these snap points it will be harder, but those arent really glitches, they are snap points right there in the corvette editor without any fancy two button key combinations

[blissful gorge]

nice arcadia wing

[blissful gorge]

i like the vibe here, reminds me of t3 cruiser from eve

[abstract crow]

Very large Arcadia wing

[tepid dove]

.

[balmy cloud]

This looks HUGE

Needs more guns lol

[balmy cloud]

Define sleek?

[abstract crow]

It is indeed huge. Probably about 1.5 times the normal build zone

Tried to limit it a bit so I can still figuratively land in the Anomaly without crashing others or taking up two landing spots.

[balmy cloud]

Parking like an American

[hollow spoke]

what's that mean?

[balmy cloud]

Huge cars, huge spots and always taking two spots back here in Holland 😉

(Our parking spots are small as shit)

[blissful gorge]

Don't take oversized ships into the anomaly, keep that shit you yourself

[abstract crow]

Gotta try it at least once to see if it's possible. If not, then it'll forever be dedicated to terrorizing the AI. I know it can't leave the anomaly based on pre-mod designs. Probably wouldn't even be able to fly inside either.

Don't really go there much anyways. At least not lately. Too busy building stuff.

[terse kestrel]

Some of these ships are just flying DDOS attacks 😭

Props to the people who build them but keep them out of the anomaly. Sucks we have to do that though. There's some really amazing designs out there that people should see

[abstract crow]

At least the interior is barren. I couldn't imagine if I also tried to make it habitable as well.

[snow pelican]

Finally finished .y corvette

[abstract crow]

I was going to edit my dropship design to make it less fat and fix the front, but the ship is currently lost somewhere in the code.

Along with my last pre-glitch design. That one made me mad.

[wraith quiver]

thats sick

[balmy cloud]

Why are these non operational?

I cant interact with the garden bed

[wraith quiver]

ohhh

[wraith quiver]

use build mode on foot to place plants

[blissful gorge]

thanks, had to take a break because those "wings" are so frustrating to work with lol

[wraith quiver]

DUDE.

[balmy cloud]

Any other type of hab allwos for functional garden beds though?

Oh wait

[blissful gorge]

working on another interation of my serenity now

[balmy cloud]

I see what you mean lol

Let me test

[wraith quiver]

yeah i find it easiest to like like up some offset habs and then place those wings and then delete the habs cos the placement is SO wonky.

[balmy cloud]

Yea I was an idiot, thannks

[wraith quiver]

❤️ no prob dude i had the EXACT issue lmfao

[blissful gorge]

this is the way but you have to flip habs 180 for the vent part to face backward, otherwise its always forward

[wraith quiver]

i was just like "oh shits broken gg."

[blissful gorge]

i guess all the wings are like that, but that piece looks like one of the slope type pieces so you expect it to behave differently

[wraith quiver]

duuuude yeahhh

some are a pain in the ass to work with for no reason at all

[blissful gorge]

eventually im going to have to completely rebuild this ship at the back of the bay so i can put base items in it. notice how the windowed area is EXACTLY in the middle where you cant place stuff? lol

oh well, learning from my mistakes

[balmy cloud]

What kind of monsters are you all making

[wraith quiver]

wait wart.

vertical shit how?

[blissful gorge]

glitches

[terse kestrel]

I'm going to build Boba Fett slave 1 vertically and mod the hell out of it so that it lays down flat when it lands.

It's going to be so epic it'll crash everyone's game. Even if you're not in the anomaly 😜

[abstract crow]

"That is one beauty of a ship. Not crazy about the name, though."

• Lando

I pray they never fix any of these glitches without at least making something similar as a feature.

[woeful fog]

How did you make that design it’s awesome!!!

[late widget]

I’m stuck with the mediocre corvette parts I don’t know how to unlock the hi tier parts 😒

[abstract crow]

Go find planets with salvagable scrap(?) and dig em up.

[abstract crow]

Or just ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades

A space santa might be able to hook you up.

[balmy cloud]

You see the weiderst shit being made

in the anomaly

LOL

[abstract crow]

Need to build a flying restaurant.

GekBurger

[woeful fog]

Is that a corvette? 😂 or a starship?

[balmy cloud]

Looks like a space bar

It looks weird and I like it haha. Kudos to whoever is building this

[balmy cloud]

Eve Amarr vibes

[marsh venture]

never played eve but as long as thats a good thing thank you

[warm blade]

Just wow. This guy's on another level. Wish I was half as good.

https://m.youtube.com/shorts/p-LGg-vR5VU

[sage wolf]

It's cool but it's not something you should bring into the anomaly

[abstract crow]

I can't imagine trying to build something like that in the anomaly, lol

[marsh venture]

he didnt build that in nms vanilla, he used the builders app, blender or a bunch of glitch bluilding

[warm blade]

Fr, I thought I had to step it up a notch.

[abstract crow]

Ah, the builder app. Truly a magical thing.

[trail hornet]

what'd you use to connect the wing things to the base?

[marsh venture]

the couplers

i double stacked them

thats how the thruster fits in there

same part thats holding these engines on

[trail hornet]

oh nice

[hoary galleon]

Trying to get the height correct

[terse kestrel]

Did you know......diplos add 700+ horsepower to your Corvette?

But their big butts drop maneuverability by 60% 😭

[limpid karma]

what

[balmy cloud]

Someone needs to make a StarWars AT-AT already

[balmy cloud]

Is that a llama on a scorpion

[glass surge]

IF you can put the cockpit module in a supercharged slot it'll boost maneuverability also it works with medusa reactors

[terse kestrel]

Called my diplo a llama 😭

That's a record for how much stuff I have slammed in that small space

3 medusas, 2 fuel rods, 4 phase beams and a twin dynamo

All in a 3x3 space

Small yet big too. Even for it's smaller size it's still at 98 parts

[balmy cloud]

What the heck how

[terse kestrel]

At one point had a half hab with 2 spliced into it offset by half.

Then another setup like that but offset one space below it. And then another one space in front of all that

So it was 9 Habs all offset put together at once. Added everything to them and then deleted the habs

Basically wedging a dozen snap points into a small space.

[zealous scaffold]

hi guys idk how to exactly explain it so bear with me, is there a way to rotate corvette parts diagonally but not just at a 45 degree angle, having it rotated on all axis a little so it looks like the piece has broken off the main ship?

that may be a really weird way to explain it basically im trying to build a derelict corvette and i want the cockpit to be disjointed and floating off from the main vessel a short distance

my end goal is a corvette that i can position in space so it looks like its been torn apart into 3-ish pieces by blaster fire - taking inspiration from derelict freighters and the frigate of the damned

no problem if there isnt a way i have other plans!!

[abstract crow]

I've seen people with corvettes that have detached parts, so it's possible. No idea how. As for a 45° angle, the window glitch or whatever it's called can do that. There's a vid in the pins I'm sure that explains it.

[zealous scaffold]

not just that, i want it to be rotated on multipe axis

[fervent mist]

Just saw that the cargo rack on the thunderbird hab has a uranium cargo pod that you can ''interact" with your mining beam/boltcaster and blow it up lol... did that on a station and my standing decreased by 1

[zealous scaffold]

i wonder if i can try draw it rq

[abstract crow]

That probably isn't as possible without the base builder app

Or at the minimum, a metric ton of glitching.

so smth like this i mean

like that whole piece is just floatin off out therre

its gone

vamoosh

[zealous scaffold]

base builder app?

forgive me asking

[blissful gorge]

i love this

[balmy cloud]

I did spend some my some dancing there. Hope the owner appreciated

[blissful gorge]

use base computer glitches

that booty is coming along

[balmy cloud]

ITS AN AT AT

!

[balmy cloud]

You did it lol

[blissful gorge]

lol what with those stubby landing gear legs and those curves? ur crazy

its the back 2/3 of a firefly class transport without the wings lol

[sullen mesa]

Hi

Is there anyone who can invite me to the center of the galaxy?

[blissful gorge]

might want to ask in a different channel

[sullen mesa]

Which?

[balmy cloud]

Just just 16 times and you’re good to to @sullen mesa

[blissful gorge]

i have no clue all i do is corvettes, maybe #nms-lfg-or-trades

isnt there a pin somewhere of the portal glyphs to center of first 10 galaxies to get to eis

[sullen mesa]

Didn't get that, you mean portals?

[blissful gorge]

16 is the answer to everything

[sullen mesa]

Got it okay

[blissful gorge]

go outside, say "16" in 16 different languages, and you will get teleported to atlas IRL

neat little lifehack

i did one in robocraft back when that was a game. was fun 😄 but dont you think starwar is a little overplayed in this community? ive had enough of it personally

[abstract crow]

There's an app on Nexus Mods that allows you to build bases (and corvettes) while modifying parts in ways you can't in-game.

[zealous scaffold]

ooohhh nice alright ill check that out ty

[sullen mesa]

Nice

[blissful gorge]

why even play the game at that point

[abstract crow]

Though by trying to import a design into two pre-existing designs to basically dupe a ship, I somehow lost two ships and almost was stuck at 11 slots instead of 12. Still don't know how or why.

[blissful gorge]

oh im going to play no mans sky for a few hours proceeds to boot up some sketchy json editor from nexus instead

[abstract crow]

I don't get your problem with being able to freely build bases and ships, but ok. To each their own, I guess.

[blissful gorge]

i mean i havent found a problem i cant wireglitch while surrounded by my beautiful paradise planet lol

well except turning habs upside down, i would edit json for that

[abstract crow]

Simply put, the app allows you to do things you can't even glitch. Allows for much more creativity and better designs. Doesn't sound like a bad thing at all, lol.

[blissful gorge]

ive considered it, not visually interesting enough

[balmy cloud]

The vindicator is

[blissful gorge]

i have a phoon in the works, if ur an eve player

[balmy cloud]

I want to build a freighter lol

[blissful gorge]

and i did an astero

if u scroll up ive been absolutely spamming this channel about the astero

[balmy cloud]

Used to play a bit yea

Why not make the drake

Pancake roof tile

[blissful gorge]

its flat

not interesting

[balmy cloud]

Or what’s that t3 again

Scorpion lookalike

[blissful gorge]

actually going through eve ships theres a lot that are long and /or flat

[abstract crow]

Someone should do a Droid dropship

[blissful gorge]

no t3 looks like scorpion, but i did consider scorpion

[abstract crow]

The radar dish makes up 1/3 of the design already.

[balmy cloud]

Oooh that third one is cool to build here

[blissful gorge]

proteus is the most ugly and least used lol but to each their own

[balmy cloud]

Blasphemy

[blissful gorge]

ive actually seen a ton of corvettes that remind me of the legion with that front module

[balmy cloud]

Build the mushroom

Avatar

[abstract crow]

Or just a mushroom in general

[blissful gorge]

i mean again look at a 3d model of that ship

not really that visually interesting of geometry to capture in the scale of a corvette imo

the front is the most striking part and would be hard to get right

[abstract crow]

Truly, the epitome of luxury space travel

Or space combat. Whatever it's purpose is.

I really want to try a Helgan ship design, but damn am I not good with replicas.

[hoary agate]

Sounds cool tho

[blissful gorge]

it teleports ships from 1 place to another place 🤣 then logs back off

sometimes it fires a laser beam but theres a new class of ship to do that now

This is what I'd love to see.

[blissful gorge]

accurate depiction of the current state of phase beam on corvette tbh

[blissful gorge]

looks like a ship that was designed in NMS corvette builder

[trail hornet]

what does this mean? authenticated starship

[abstract crow]

Tbf, Killzone is a pretty old game.

[hoary agate]

It means it was not build but found in the wild

[blissful gorge]

you dont have to drive it like its hot

[trail hornet]

weird

bec i built it lol

[hoary agate]

Good game tho

[trail hornet]

but apparently they all say that

[trail hornet]

what does that mean?

[abstract crow]

Means you didn't jack the ship from the streets. Or space, I guess.

[blissful gorge]

has a valid registration and title 😛

[trail hornet]

alright kewl

[lapis merlin]

I still think there’s room for improvement, what would yall change on this?

[abstract crow]

But do you also have proof of insurance?

[blissful gorge]

i mean it looks amazing but if u want me to find something i dont love this. good use of parts, just some areas that really look like clipping rather than an intentional shape

the way the color contrasted supercruise looks right next to the circle is s-tier

[abstract crow]

Honestly, I'd just color it red and black to improve it.

[trail hornet]

been looking for a solid minute and can't find the cockpit, where is it? 😭
#nms-showcase-corvettes message

[swift mist]

up front

beneath the bulky cowling

[lapis merlin]

lol I totally forgot to flip that part down from my old nose design

[trail hornet]

OHH i see it now, thanks!

[balmy cloud]

Al;lright build genius'

How can I hide these round shield parts

currently on top of the thrusters

They look weird on there and I do want some of them. Theres one hanging underneath the ship and it lookso weird already

[lapis merlin]

Disregard that last pic, there was a part out of place lol

[trail hornet]

is it possible to put a portal inside a corvette?

[abstract crow]

Probably not an easy way to hide those shield generators. But maybe find a spot that's better suited? Like maybe glitch then into where your pistons or whatever are?

[balmy cloud]

moved some stuff around and managed to squeeze it here

[balmy cloud]

pistons are on top of a hab

[abstract crow]

Double the hab with a glitch and you might just be able to finagle the generators there as well.

Hab glitch really makes things get crazy with placement. I can place weapons on top of and to the side of certain ship parts with the glitch.

[balmy cloud]

I need to learn that at some point

[blissful gorge]

i mean corvettes are so strong, you don't really need to hide parts on them, and a neat trick for shields is just bind a key for sodium, never need to worry about shields again. thats my low stress approach, if it helps 🙂

if you want to rotate a hab 180, which may be what roadworthy is talking about, just stack 2 habs and put stairs in the bottom one, then you can rotate that bottom hab. items rotated 180 can exist in the same spot as items not rotated, which can be useful sometimes

im hitting 3-4k on corvettes without x mods, and damage can only excede a normal starship. for phase beams every barrel adds damage multiplicatively

[eager temple]

@blissful gorge nvidia driver update fixed my issue finally :)
