[lavish cloak]

hell ye thanks man!

[blissful gorge]

so which order? goes to first placed? or last?

[abstract crow]

The world may never know.

[lavish cloak]

it's first to last, delete the others leave what you want, hit apply then edit again and replace the removed ones

[fair pilot]

How the non-ramp corvette landing thing works? Anyone have screenshots?

The lift one

[blissful gorge]

you mean thunderbird hatch? it just has a hole in the bottom in the center with a square platform that goes up and down.

[fair pilot]

Platform is automatic, or the button-activated?

[long vine]

it just opens and closes idk what else there is to it

oh

button

there's a button

[fair pilot]

okay ty

[blissful gorge]

should probably load up the corvette builder and check it out. its not a landing gear btw, those are a separate category and requirement on corvettes

[fair pilot]

Yeah, i just forgor the name xD

[terse kestrel]

Using offset Habs on each side yo can put heavy boosters in the exact same space. Since the snap points are to their sides and not the engine itself.

That's two titan boosters in the same space

This works great for small profile ships. Get max stats for engines with a smaller space.

Once the habs are deleted the arms of the boosters make for new 1/2 offset snap points for wings and other parts

[dark juniper]

Idk if I should visually depend on the rockhopper wings and have the cool aerodynamic thing be the lowest part of my ship or just use the landing thruster like I've been doing lol

It looks less weird when landed on a planet tbf

I could compromise and use this but it might look even weirder being uneven lol

[glass surge]

Does anyone know what the decal limit is on corvette's?

[dark juniper]

I don't think there's a limit for those

or any other non-structural base parts

[glass surge]

okay then i can try sprucing up my new corvette a little bit

[echo falcon]

i feel like if i added wings to this it would throw it off

[abstract crow]

Add tiny baby wings

[glass surge]

as it is it looks very boxy battleship if that's what you're going for; adding things to the sides and bottom would hide those better and give you options for hiding essential shield / reactors etc

[echo falcon]

yea im going for more of a bulky style

its supposed to be more of a cargo style ship with some basic defenses

[terse kestrel]

The double-sided landing thrusters on the bottom look really cool when you have the trim in between them.

Offset the trim by half either forwards or backwards and it will allow you to place them in the landing thrusters

[terse kestrel]

You should put the number 16 all over your ship in different angles and sizes. As many 16s as you can get on there.

[trail hornet]

charles leclerc reference?

[kind glacier]

is this the max ammount of technology slots a corvette can have? i tried adding more weapons to get some more slots, but it's not working anymore

[glass surge]

60 is max tech slots i believe

[next coral]

I feel like a madman flying around between salvage containers trying to get neat looking parts

I'm actually getting upset when I find valuable artifacts/loot because I want cool corvette parts damn it

Like... 2.5m unit loot? Yeah that's cool but I want a flashy reactor

[glass surge]

I like getting the artifacts to sell, just makes it a easy way to get unit even with a basic corvette.

I haven't found a what's the best planet to get corvette parts but after getting 76 parts in one hour (with a lot of duplicates) on a lifeless moon I feel that might be better than on a actual planet.

[abstract crow]

Or a paradise planet. No storms to annoy you. Think I stumbled across three planets in a single system that had salvagable parts or whatever on them.

[sleek oasis]

ngl I think im gonna scrap my Ghost and remake it

it's not as good as I'd like

[weak jacinth]

My Corvette is a flying brick... It's just 6 habs stacked 3 on each roll. But hey, I got storage!

[wraith quiver]

sand dollar in the sky

[dawn lintel]

I have locked myself in my corvette

I dont knoa how to escape

[smoky flax]

What does the Medi-Pod do? Description says it has to be wired to the air-lock but there is no proper air-lock feature on corvettes and you can't build wires on them either. I installed by the exit ramp but it still does nothing.

[swift mist]

has no use other than decoration right now

[long pawn]

Clever trick!

[long pawn]

I see what you mean. But with a little offset building and glitching some parts to flow together smoother, I'd say you'll have yourself a winner. Please post Ghost 2.0 when you're done. I'm curious what you come up with.

[sleek oasis]

Lol, as if I wasn't already glitching and off setting

[long pawn]

"I kind if wish there were bigger engines for corvettes. never thought i would say that when i saw how big the titan is"

Me too. When I make one of my really big 5 story 100 part ships , even the largest engines look too small. Maybe we should suggest we be allowed to resize engines like we can with a lot of base pieces.

[glass surge]

Just make a engine people can ride on

[long pawn]

Heh. I know, I know... But, I find starting over and fiddling with the parts in a different way helps. Particularly since I already know what I'm trying to create. First draft. is usually throwing stuff on a wall to see what sticks.

[long pawn]

HA! Now that would be funny. Be like a X-15.

Come to think of it, isn't just an engine people can ride on what a rocket is? 🤔

[terse kestrel]

Triage for sick Labubus

[blissful gorge]

@terse kestrel u gave me the courage to move beyond right angles

could this ship be spooky?

[glass surge]

use the wonder projector as it can project any wonders you've found and added

[blissful gorge]

well thats not corvette building 😛

[glass surge]

more like corvette decoration

[terse kestrel]

Blasphemy

[blissful gorge]

the inside of that ship is open and tall inside, have to come up with a cool decoration. im thinking a massive chandelier

[terse kestrel]

My diplos give and extra 700hp and +30% aura farming

[blissful gorge]

a chariot for kings

[sleek oasis]

done for the day im going to bed lol, gonna finish it tomorrow

[fervent gull]

anyone know about a good YouTube video/other resource of survival building techniques?

[tawny locust]

looks cleans tho

[fervent gull]

What I do for early money is just get distress beacons and find a few ships to sell for easy units

Once you get enough to create a Corvette, do that. Doesn't matter if it's ugly because when you find a salvageable scrap planet, the Corvette will help you farm parts much faster than you can with a regular ship. You just exit the seat, use the visor to find scrap and then you can beam down or just shoot at it with the ship weapons to collect( I've had trouble shooting them with the ship, so idk if they changed that)

[fair pilot]

How people rotate parts in weird ways? They seems to be tied to certain directions by default.

[remote crypt]

Pins here have some tutorial vids

[fair pilot]

Need to farm parts first anyway.

I think I'll use normal ship for solo play, and pull the corvette to play with someone

[elfin tinsel]

people are making these crazy looking corvettes that would involve a lot more than the simple glitches we know, does anyone know how they do this !?

[sage wolf]

Mods and/or blender

[elfin tinsel]

any tutorials !? which mods specifically

[sage wolf]

The only one I know of is beyond base building. I've never used the blender addon

[abstract crow]

You'd be surprised what those simple glitches can do if you really grind out the work. But yes, there's a base building app that allows you build and/or modify your corvettes as well.

That's how I get my weapons to turn to different angles and build main batteries with large weapons.

[terse kestrel]

When farming salvage scrap from flight you need to use a weapon with splash damage.

Phase beams don't have it.

Scatter blaster is best for aerial farming

[vernal vault]

❤️ My Ship. Still much to upgrade. It fly's like a dream. I've done a bunch of testing.. For those having the same problem I did with the ship spinning-glitch. I've done the testing all the way from 5000 move, down to 2500. Anything over 3200 will make the ship Spin-Glitch almost every single time you go to a planet. Anything below 3100 no matter how hard I try it will not spin-glitch! So until it's fixed Corvette cap seems to be 3100 Manoeuvrability without problems. Hope this helps folks.

[vernal vault]

The ship profile makes me feel all warm inside lol. Very much looking forward to what the Devs add next for Corvettes. So far.. Awesome job, for real. 🥳

[terse kestrel]

It's not a matter of your maneuverability. It's base parts colliding with the physics of the game

I had one Corvette at 3300 maneuverability and it never spun out. But it was just basic with no decorations inside.

But my 2,700 maneuverability Corvette kept spinning out loudly. Deleted a few bass parts and it stopped.

Also having a window installed on the very front of your ship will also cause this issue. If you are spinning wildly and you have a window at the front of your ship delete it. It will stop

Glitch building certain machines like nutrient processors and other non Corvette units will do it as well.

Build a nutrient processor somewhere on your ship and fly it around. It will start spinning out. Delete it and it will stop

This....is why.....they limited some build options on corvettes. Because obviously there were physics issues with many parts. Which is why they were not included in the basic build options of Corvettes and you have to glitch them in

[next coral]

...So this whole time, I've been running from container to container, when I could've just been shooting salvage containers from my current corvette without ever landing...

[vernal vault]

yeah, jump out the seat, use scanner to highlight then fly over and shot with your ship. Super nice flow once you get it down.

[vernal vault]

I removed all deco like posters/pictures, bones, deployable tech. I do have one of each Corvette room built, refiner, processer etc, and 6x storage. At 3100 move I have no glitch. (tested for hours) Anything over 3200 I get wild spinning every time I go to planets.

[terse kestrel]

Did you use any offset building or meshing of Corvette parts?

These things also create physics issues in ships as you increase maneuverability.

Basically 3k maneuverability is the line you cross to let you know whether or not your ship is physically sound. If it's spinning out past 3k you jacked up it's physics.

[mighty hill]

Is it still possible to get 4 upgraded tech slots in a chain together by making a basic corvette, and then upgrading it to s-class, load your save if you dont get them in a chain and keep trying?

[vernal vault]

Everything is "snapped" but parts do mesh in a few small places.

[terse kestrel]

Meshing engines and boosters together or meshing them into other parts seems to be the biggest culprit.

I was meshing my boosters heavily. And had massive spin out issues. But since I stopped and spread them out it's way less of an issue. If not gone completely

This is 2 titan heavies and a booster meshed together. That Corvette spun like crazy. Moved the boosters to the outsides and spinning stopped

[next coral]

Wellp, this is the result of my corvette part farming

[terse kestrel]

Very nice

Make sure you install your 3 best rocket boosters first. Since only your first 3 go to tech slots.

Also your cockpit counts as a reactor. Build it AFTER you install 3 reactors. So those reactors end up in tech and not the cockpit

[next coral]

Need to put another reactor on then lol, I only have 2

[terse kestrel]

When you install it delete your cockpit, place reactor the reinstall cockpit

This will remove the cockpit from tech and replace it with the reactor

[hexed thicket]

Did a final design pass. I think I'm leaving it like this. Really like how the speedbird nacelles mesh sideways with the titan boosters.

Also this is a hundred parts flat. It's not even that large. How are people building all those monstrocities I've been seeing? Besides save editing I mean.

[shadow wraith]

Spaced out parts, most likely

Mine is at 90/100. Size comparison with my much smaller Fighter

[sleek oasis]

[terse kestrel]

Manually placed base walls and freighter panels go a long way

You can have a massive "ship" that's really a small ship in a huge body shell

Those enterprises and star destroyers?

They are hollow lol

[fair pilot]

Yeah, true

I damn love this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/s/kuhnzXXwGl

Would like to build something like it, but don't like that it's 90% decorum

[sleek oasis]

mines a little bigger

[terse kestrel]

That's at 100/100. Yet it's just two half Habs and a cockpit

So you can even hit max size in small profile ships by clipping a lot together.

1 half hab, cockpit, 3 reactors, 3 engines and 6 phaser beams jammed into that thing

It's like a geo metro equipped with a HEMI and rail gun 😂

[shadow wraith]

Yeah the size of my VCX is just a ballpark, and is on the mercy of the game's snap points

[sleek oasis]

how did you get this to rotate?

[shadow wraith]

Size is good enough for a Radiant Pillar to dock on where the Phantom is supposed to dock

[shadow wraith]

90 degree rotation of habs, and just placed it as is

[terse kestrel]

With the reactors you can place one forward, one backward and one in the middle of the two. Creating a full reactor kit in a 3x2 space.

Rather than the 9x2 they normally take up

[terse kestrel]

Either use the ladder rotate method or the airlock window method

Ladder method more precise.

Window method faster

You can place a Corvette window by itself on top of the edge of you airlock.

This allows you to place a half hab on it and rotate it in any direction

[shadow wraith]

I used the base computer one, since it's much accurate (1:1 to the snap points)

[terse kestrel]

If you do the window method right while floating in space you can build vertically. But it's a pain

[shadow wraith]

I also rotated the side parts of the craft, since I hate the looks of uncovered habs

[terse kestrel]

Yeah

[shadow wraith]

How it looks on the ground. I really hope they add hab covers for the connectors just so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb

[vernal vault]

and then you see ship builds like this that have a whole ecosystem built on to them. 😆

[shadow wraith]

I keep seeing them on the Anomaly, and my PC isn't enjoying it at all lmao

[vernal vault]

and I've seen way bigger. Massive dino ships or castle forts etc

[sleek oasis]

this looks great now with the front like that

[vernal vault]

yep XD

[sleek oasis]

anyone know of a decoration I could use for the glass dome at the top?

[abstract crow]

Closest thing would be those round cargo parts.

[sleek oasis]

I'm already using it, basically I had 1 extra part over the limit so I wanted to remove it and replace it but I found a part to remove that was placed on accident

[shadow wraith]

The best alternative is actually the Thunderbird cockpit

[sleek oasis]

I think it's complete

[shadow wraith]

With the lower bubble canopy being a rounded window

[abstract crow]

I think they meant the other bubble dome.

[shadow wraith]

Yeah, the upper part would be the Thunderbird cockpit

Lower is the standard rounded window

[sleek oasis]

I think the titan class looks better

[shadow wraith]

Yeah, hence why I used it as well

[shadow wraith]

If I can put or glitch out two cockpits, then I'd do this (Oops, meant the thunderbird cockpit up top)

[abstract crow]

No, I meant that they meant the bubble dome along the spine. Where the cargo link is

[sleek oasis]

if I had to put a second cockpit it would be for the phantom 2 at the back

[shadow wraith]

Yea, that too

[shadow wraith]

Ah, the ball turret

Glass dome (the base decoration) maybe? I never had that one and don't know if you can resize it down

[cosmic sundial]

I am experimenting with text on my corvette a bit. I tried the decal lines first, but they disappear if they are made too small. the light bulbs are hard to read sometimes, but they are the best I could come up with so far. Any better ideas?

[shadow wraith]

Needs Torpedoes

[abstract crow]

Not without mods. Certain base building parts like prefabs need a mod

[shadow wraith]

So putting a wooden floor on my corvette is just temporary?

I managed to put one just for testing, and it's counted as a corvette part to the point that I can't remove it without going to the space station

[abstract crow]

Certain parts. You can glitch some parts at your base, too

[shadow wraith]

Ah

[abstract crow]

But glass dome and those large ones I don't think you can

[sleek oasis]

my new ghost is so much better than my old one

you can actually decor the interior since there's actual place for it now

the only thing im sad about is the second engine in the middle, couldn't incase it

[livid veldt]

In a few videos showing "vertical building," where a hab is rotated 90 degrees for corvettes like this,

...I hear warnings that this can / probably will corrupt your save in some way - so back up.

Is this true? Is this dangerous to do, rotating the hab 90 degrees?

( Warnings from the guys showing the technique in their videos, that is. )

[abstract crow]

I mean, any kind of glitch building is dangerous. Some far more than others

[livid veldt]

But to actually corrupt your save... I'd not want to backup and proceed but then see some game update change how the glitch affects things and hose that save 6 months down the road, having achieved further progress in the game, etc.

Forcing a restore 6 months back to make things right.

I guess that's a possibility.

[lament orbit]

look what i have found

its a space truck

[smoky flax]

An excellent reason to never turn on multiplayer?

[lament orbit]

yeah maybe

but i've also seen very nice designs

[livid vector]

OPTIMIS PRIME

but it’s red

looks cool but it’s full of hallways hows anyone gonna put stuff inside

[hexed thicket]

Did you try the long engine cowlings? They work pretty well for the firebird thruster. (don't have a good shot of it; look at the top of the center thruster)

[lament orbit]

only the bottom flor ist walkable

[livid vector]

oh i see

it looks cool tho

[sleek oasis]

it needs to be round

[hexed thicket]

From my understanding the normal parts all act the same regardless of what orientation they're in. The most likely probable cause of save damage will be if you actually leave any walkable habs in that upright orientation, because that might confuse the bejezus out of the engine.

[hexed thicket]

It is round. Rounded, even.

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

[sleek oasis]

it would look the same anyway

[hexed thicket]

This might be a better look at it? The big dome in the center.

[sleek oasis]

see top right

[hexed thicket]

I only had it half-encased in the round cowlings because I needed the bottom flat for the accessway.

[sleek oasis]

I see what you mean but it's more like the fact that the middle one can't be covered

[hexed thicket]

That's quitter talk. :P

[sleek oasis]

not its literally not possible

[hexed thicket]

Try it and see how it turns out! The cowlings narrow towards the end, so it won't intersect the details you have as much, and the long cowlings have extra attach locations further back.

[sleek oasis]

what I want to do is not possible.

there's too many objects and it can't snap

[hexed thicket]

What do you want to do?

[sleek oasis]

go back up

[hexed thicket]

How far up? I see the reference you're going for, but I don't know what its engines look like.

[sleek oasis]

what you replied too

the best would be the long engine covers, but the issue is the middle engine, parts can't connect there because of the other parts under and above it

[hexed thicket]

Uh... huh. Okay I have a silly idea that I never tried before. Have you tried side-mounting a cargo pod (the barrel-looking one) onto a hab half-offset forward from the engine?

[lament orbit]

thats my corvette Design. A true Dreadnought kiler

[hexed thicket]

That means next to nothing. Look at the mess of parts in the back there. How many of them you think wanted to attach where they ended up? :P

[sleek oasis]

im telling you

it doesn't want to snap.

[hexed thicket]

I've force-snapped more than a couple to orientations and positions the editor didn't want me to be able to.

[sleek oasis]

ive tried every way already

[wraith quiver]

Only other way would be to flip a hab since it lets you overlap an existing hab in the exact same spot

thus creating another snapping point in the same spot as the ones stopping you

but that sounds like a pain in the ass to do lol

[sleek oasis]

only way to make it work really

tho I don't think I can do it with the current part limit

[wraith quiver]

ah true

[uneven zephyr]

Build my first corvette. 3 days grinded parts

[wraith quiver]

niiice

[hexed thicket]

Hm. Not quite what I had in mind.

[sleek oasis]

its lower than that

[uneven zephyr]

i cant figure out how to build with that glitches

[real elm]

For those looking to really go nuts with their corvette decorations and customizations, I recommend "Exosolar's and Babs' Beyond Base Building" https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096

It lets you resize/color/rotate stuff you normally cant, and place stuff you REALLY shouldnt, and still shows up as expected to people without the mod

[sleek oasis]

I might have the place

[terse kestrel]

It's how you turn your Corvette into an orbital DDOS attack.

[wraith quiver]

is this the blender pluigin one

[real elm]

That's true, but it also lets you do cool stuff like this

[sleek oasis]

hows this

[cursive lark]

Is that a matrix hovercraft?

[real elm]

Indeed it is

[cursive lark]

Nice

[terse kestrel]

"we have the Nebuchadnezzar at home"

[real elm]

Its sad that we dont have colored lights or effects options

[sleek oasis]

the lack of color customization freedom is pretty bad

[real elm]

none of the 'lights' actually produce light, and the one colored light option is really ugly and hard to hide

[terse kestrel]

Here's my shame. You'd think it would work but.....meh

[real elm]

It would be nice if we had placeable lightning/fire/lightbars etc

[sleek oasis]

like the fact that we're stuck with fixed color pallets instead of choosing our own primary and secondary is rough

[real elm]

I wouldnt be surprised if we get an expanded customization pallete later

[sleek oasis]

the worst thing is that the coding is already there with our character customization

[terse kestrel]

You can use pill lights in various mixes to give area lighting of any color

[real elm]

Loading extremely extensively custom ships in the Anomaly is already a very mixed bag though

[real elm]

Already am doing that

[sleek oasis]

all they need to do is copy the character customization for the coloring of decorations and corvette parts

[terse kestrel]

I've made some stupid builds but I only take the simple ones into the anomaly

[real elm]

It looks passable

[terse kestrel]

The majority of players on PC and console can't load in some of those big corvettes. Taking them into the anomaly jacks them up

[real elm]

Doesnt PC and Console players basically describe everyone?

[terse kestrel]

You have to say that that way. Because some people think it's just last gin consoles or weak PCS that are suffering from it. When it's across the board

[real elm]

I did see this in the Anomaly, pretty well done

[terse kestrel]

Tron

[real elm]

Yes, boarding it was hilariously stupid and difficult, that thing requires a +500% jetpack tanks just to get aboard

[terse kestrel]

I bet it flew like a boat in mud 😂

[terse kestrel]

I've noticed that the more you build your ship in a single plane side to side your maneuverability increases.

But as soon as you start to build taller and taller it plummets.

[real elm]

I wonder if a ship build WAY off center would work

like, start building the center keel, then place everything way way off to one side

[terse kestrel]

Maybe. Cheat the physics of the game a bit. Spiking your maneuverability

[real elm]

That or the camera will just be a mess

[terse kestrel]

I'm going to have to test that

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

[wraith quiver]

i thought it was height OR width tbh

[terse kestrel]

I thought so too until I tried to put a tail on my red scorpion Corvette

[rapid moon]

do you all have the cockpit on the 1st level or build up? If so, i wish we had ramps rather than stairs to connect interiors...

[terse kestrel]

I can add wings for other features to the sides and I'm maneuverability will go up two or three points. But as soon as I built that tail it dropped it by over 400 points

[rapid moon]

Oh I saw something very similar but covered in weeds and flowers n greenery

[terse kestrel]

My cockpit is on the second level and I boost up to the ramp.

I refuse to use stairs until they either make them better or allow short-range teleporters to work inside the corvette. Which I imagine is going to happen before long

[rapid moon]

that makes better sense than the damn stairs, i hate them...

[terse kestrel]

You can use a couple of decorative barricades built at an angle on either side of your stairs. It helps keep you from falling off at least. But yeah they are janky

Short range teleporters are included in the Corvette build menu. They are easily placeable option. No glitching required. They just don't function and cannot be connected.

[rapid moon]

i'd just like the option of say combining two modules and make it into one big room

[terse kestrel]

It took us years to get freighters like that. They used to be disconnected rooms with doorways like Corvettes are now

[rapid moon]

yeh i remember heh

[terse kestrel]

I used to offer a free service I would join anyone's game and glitch exterior doorways on their freighter for them.

But they make so much of this so easy now. I came back after a break and just shook my head at how simple a lot of building has been tuned to

[glass zenith]

Good corvette when I just started?

[terse kestrel]

Nice. Now that you got one getting parts is so much easier.

[sleek oasis]

they're a pain in the ass to place but barricades looks really good with the staircase

[abstract crow]

I wish the stairs were a little larger. They're also a nightmare with 3x move speed...

[sleek oasis]

the problem really is that the railing of the staircases are fake

but with the barricades there now it works as actual railing

[wraith quiver]

NMS hasnt got stairs down i cant lie about that

even cuboid stairs are tragic

[real elm]

Oh dang thats genius, I have such a pain with my ship getting up the stairs without sliding off

thats so much better for clumsily running towards the cockpit and getting up there on the first try

ignore that its pink, its a pink planet

[weak jacinth]

I just made the smallest ship I could (I'm on Xbox so no mods)

[limpid karma]

it can be smaller

even without glitches

[elder iron]

Hallway instead of hab

I dunno what else

[limpid karma]

i wouldnt personally say that offsetting is a glitch

[elder iron]

Well... depends on if the corvette stays useable

In that its not blocked by one way of offsetting or another

[fervent mist]

Small can also be big. This fighter I made is only a walkway, a cockpit and a ramp. One landing thruster, two engines. I don’t glitch build out of respect for my crappy steam deck and everyone else’s framerate inside the anomaly.

[elder iron]

Thats mainly because of decorative pieces

[limpid karma]

glitchbuilding wont make people lag

as long as its reasonable

no using the next corvette station up to add more parts

[fervent mist]

It can trap people inside of geometry on the landing pads. Ask me how I know

[long pawn]

Great job, Hell!

[sleek oasis]

I might've gotten the executor from the service app delivered to me yesterday in the anomaly, it's only 2.8k parts...

Hoping that the people that were there had a good PC 🤞

[long pawn]

Interesting... makes me want to try making a flying wing style corvette just to see its numbers.

[idle ore]

the smallest possible one is 2 pieces 😛

[idle ore]

nope, not without gltiches hahaha

ok, yes 1-2 pieces less, but thats not a wild change haha

[long pawn]

Actually, it just depends. I've had cockpits all the way from absolute ground level all the way to the 5th "floor."

[idle ore]

everything above 1st sucks, but its doable and has been done 🙂

[long pawn]

'eh... I'd say everything above the 2nd floor. One flight of stairs isn't a hassle. 😁

[idle ore]

well, i counted wrong haha, yeah 2nd flor

if you count in the ramp haha

[weak jacinth]

But it requires a landing gear, hab, cockpit, reactor, gun and Thruster

[sleek oasis]

here's the new ghost

[abstract crow]

You can glitch a corvette so it's only two pieces by removing the other parts

[weak jacinth]

Ah. I don't think I used any glitches on mine. Though I did put the hab on top and make it accessible only with a stairwell

[exotic spruce]

I neeeeed DOORS! 🚪 🚪 🚪 !

specifically the doors that just opens to the outside, or short range teleporters on corvettes

[real elm]

yea, not sure what that tweet was about, hopefully not about doors directly bc thats not very exciting no matter what they are applied to

I'm hoping for co-operative corvettes, with mannable turret pods

[exotic spruce]

Crypticorb with proper doors on habs that lead outside it would make integrating base parts a lot easier than glitching with ramps and other tomfoolery to mix and match parts

I've had to do creative things to mix corv habs with undersea hab parts, as well as with normal basebuilding parts 🙂 Things I'm not proud of that made ships look jankier than they needed to be

[real elm]

Glitch building is beyond the scope of what most players will care about, and modded building is even further beyond that. Most people wont ever attempt to even put decorations on their corvette

[exotic spruce]

😿

[real elm]

All the times I visited the anomaly, I saw maybe two other builds that used decorations at all, and maybe 1 in 10 made any effort towards creative building

[exotic spruce]

I saw new builds all the time; that's a horrible string of bad luck to see almost nothing

[real elm]

If people could have some means to collaborate aboard the same ship, theyd put FAR more effort into making a cool ship to show others

[exotic spruce]

@real elm here's a smattering of the best ones I saw the last week #nms-showcase-corvettes message

[iron palm]

my corvette has a layout like a maze with three different stairs ( one leads to the front / nose section, the other two to the cockpit ) but getting up and down the ones leading to the cockpit is anoying i keep accidentally walking off the side of the stairs... 😩

[long pawn]

Woot! I like it.

[quiet bear]

Can you install regular ship tech into your Corvette?

[exotic spruce]

@iron palm learning that the landing pad / vertical access dock's roof was open and you could put stairs through it made stair placement easier for funky placement

[fervent mist]

Yep! People have even stripped their Starborn Runners of the Photonix drive and swapping them into corvettes.

[exotic spruce]

getting them to line up though Mr. Burton, I guess it's

[fervent mist]

You do realize that wings and such increase the mobility of any given corvette. Not merely decorative.

[elder iron]

I thought it was mostly atmospheric mobility, though I definitely know thats useful...

Maybe I should squeeze more wings into my current corvettes, lol

[hardy oracle]

This isn't exactly false but it is highly misleading. Adding some amount of decorative corvette pieces does have a positive impact on manoeuvrability but it's very minor and certainly not tied to wings in particular.

[elder iron]

Its not? I could've sworn wings helped specifically with atmospheric maneuvering

[hardy oracle]

No, the wings are just another decorative piece. The fact that they happen to look like wings is entirely cosmetic.

[elder iron]

I thought i read it in a description of the parts

[fervent mist]

Explain how I picked up 400 points of mobility simply for adding Arcadian wings?

[hardy oracle]

You probably didn't have enough decorative pieces before that point. You could have added any kind, didn't have to be wings

[elder iron]

Wait wings arent decorative, theyre with the slopes and stuff

[fervent mist]

Now who is the one misleading people? What you’re describing simply isn’t how the build mechanics have been working. I tested other wings. I tested other decorative parts. The wings netted more maneuver

[terse kestrel]

Hence why they're in their own separate build category. Rather than being within any of the decorative items that don't change stats

Then you have some build pieces that do the exact opposite. Like scaffolding, ballast and heavy scaffold. Heavy Hull pieces and junctions. They take away maneuverability no matter where you place them

[delicate granite]

should i make a giant cargo ship or should i make like something small

[hardy oracle]

Look, the equation really isn't as easy as you make it out to be. HEre's a shot of my ship with wings And then another where I remove them and actually gain manoeuvrability because I had too much decor with the wings

[terse kestrel]

I had scaffolding connectors between the ship and the arms where those orange circles are. I took them off and got almost 20 maneuverability out of it

[elder iron]

Location of placement for sure doesn't matter for stats, lol

[terse kestrel]

So make sure you're not weighing yourself down with non-essential pieces.

[elder iron]

Nms doesnt calculate those sorts of physics, lol

[elder iron]

Also... my god... 6 thousand?

[terse kestrel]

That's not true at all. If that was the case then we wouldn't have so many bugs related to physic collisions and meshing issues

[hardy oracle]

It took a lot of effort and adjacency stacking, but it's doable!

[terse kestrel]

Walk up to two planets that have collided together. In transition from one to the other.

[elder iron]

Mobility being affected by the location of corvette parts is not something nms looks for

[terse kestrel]

Build a ship that's flat and wide and then build a ship that's thin and tall. Tell me which one has the better maneuverability

[elder iron]

Dude my first corvette has a better turn radius than the wraith did before I added more upgrades

To the wraith, I mean

I do want to test that now though, lol

I can definitely see hitbox dimensions affecting something like turn speed

But im saying nms doesnt calculate things like aerodynamics and center of mass

[terse kestrel]

I also know when flying around you're more likely to hit the top and bottom of your ship on something then the wings. As if the wings are more graphical in nature while the tops and bottoms are more physical assets

And if that's the case then it's recognizing height on a ship more than width

As if your physical bubble grows based on height more than width. And as your physical bubble grows your maneuverability reduces

[abstract crow]

My corvette'turning radius can best be summarized as "maybe"

[sleek oasis]

mine is the complete opposite lol

just a little bit of manoeuvrability

[terse kestrel]

You think about turning left and it does a 360.....

[abstract crow]

I think mine was sub-300.

[sleek oasis]

if it was 50k yea

[hardy oracle]

I think anything above 4k manoeuvrability is probably enough. I do really like my ship better with 6k but at some point it is reasonable to ask yourself what you're using all that speed and agility for 🙂

[terse kestrel]

I'm happy at about 2.5k to 2.8k

Beyond that I feel I have to turn down my controller sensitivity will increase the dead zone

[hardy oracle]

But what else are you going to optimize for, might as well push manoeuvrability since all other stats are going to be so far beyond what you need for content that they don't matter

[willow lichen]

Funny cockpit

[sleek oasis]

Yea, anything above 2k is good, it's not too slow and still feels realistic

[light prairie]

W or L Corvette?

[grizzled phoenix]

W
Very W

[hardy oracle]

Pretty good! Maybe a bit too much repetition?

[light prairie]

I've been trying to work on that but a lot of parts don't match well together so I have been using the same parts😅

[hardy oracle]

Yeah, it's hard to avoid when you're going big like that

[light prairie]

I hope they expand on the parts in a few updates from now (hopefully next update but you never know)!

[hardy oracle]

I'm sure they'll be adding more and more corvette pieces, but I wouldn't bet on it coming next update already!

[light prairie]

Only one could dream😔

I love Hello Games as instead of fixing bugs that players really like (e.g. clipping bug in the Corvette builder or the scaling bug in the Base builder) they keep it in the game!

As it can make Corvettes and Bases look absolutely beautiful!

[hardy oracle]

I think they're benefitting greatly from how creative people are getting with shipbuilding. Lots of people posting all over the internet and providing free advertising for Hello Games. 🙂

[willow lichen]

Hmmm… should I make a crystal corvette?

[light prairie]

Yeah! I really hope they do add more parts like a 3 wide cockpit (or 2 wide) as it could pull some of my ships together very nicely!

[light prairie]

You definitely should! I would love to see how that would turn out!

[willow lichen]

I have a idea: wonder projectors and igneous crystals

[light prairie]

Uh yeah!

[delicate granite]

dawg i wanna get the gek cowel so bad it would match so good with my fit

but i only got 2500

[light prairie]

Just keep going and you'll get it! I believe in you!

[delicate granite]

:D

[vernal vault]

If you want your ship to drift/swing and glide, You want this:

Trust me you see the difference even without supercharging it. The overall ship movement is 100% better and more flow-like with this.

[vernal vault]

after much testing around 3k seems to be the sweet spot (glitch free)

[abstract crow]

The last thing my ship needs is extra drifting.

[vernal vault]

Fair. This makes your ships back-end flow in to the drift. Real nice tbh

[grizzled phoenix]

Where would you find this upgrade? Also, do you have to use it on a Corvette?

[grizzled phoenix]

Yes but where do I get it??

[sleek oasis]

space anomaly, I don't wanna be rude but you can use google you know, first link:
https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Flight_Assist_Override

[grizzled phoenix]

Thank you. I did use Google, I just didn't see this

[willow lichen]

I hate how hard it is to place full sails

I assume most people go back into the corvette editor to move em?

Or is it just sucky

Ok so it’s just god awful

[delicate granite]

is there a way to get more quicksilver everyday instead of the normal 400

i need like 700 more to get the spawning cowl

[terse kestrel]

Make sure there's a mission radar on your corvette.

You can get. Not only Quicksilver from there but also from the anomaly

[elder iron]

I feel they were designed for build camera and nothing else

[willow lichen]

Not going to lie, I freaking love this look. A tiny sailor corvette

I miiight move the top sail a little forward

[sleek oasis]

what would be the better trail for star wars ship? default cyan or sputtering?

I think the best would be to remove it all together but that mod doesn't work anymore

[abstract crow]

Red

[willow lichen]

That looks better

[elder iron]

I request knowledge of how fast the corvette flies

I meant to ask earlier but I forgot

[elder iron]

Or maybe you can answer because I didn't even know their mobility went over 3k, lol

[willow lichen]

What other decorations should I add?

[elder iron]

I'd suggest a skull at the front, but that would block your view, lol

[willow lichen]

What about the sides?

[terse kestrel]

Who needs to see where they're flying when you look cool?

[elder iron]

Hmm, maybe. Could even add some decorations that trail behind

[willow lichen]

What would you recommend for those?

[vernal vault]

Over 3.1k you get spin-glitch on planets. With 3088Move It does not glitch ever. keep it under 3100 until Devs patch the Wild Spin.

[elder iron]

Ok but how fast it go?

[vernal vault]

I'd need to check planet/space tbh docked rn XD

[elder iron]

I remember noticing my solar ship flies a bit faster than my starborn runner, but I dont think either one have more than 2.5k

[willow lichen]

How do you get corvettes to go fast anyway?

[elder iron]

I think in terms of raw speed, my solar is the fastest, but I really gotta check properly to compare

[elder iron]

Adjacency and supercharging

[neon quiver]

Corvettes are peak

[vernal vault]

Yes. They really are peak.

NMS pulled it off with these Corvettes where almost every other space game failed IMO.. ❤️ It. M O R E Please. 😆

[terse kestrel]

Portal coordinates to probably one of the best lit space stations I've seen. Great for Corvette building.

[livid veldt]

Spotted this the other day

[terse kestrel]

Almost every other one I've seen is too dark. Or funky colors. This one's perfect

[willow lichen]

Adjacency?

[terse kestrel]

Making sure similar upgrade modules in Tech slots are side by side

Though supercharged slots offer better boost than adjacency bonus. So if you have to break adjacency in favor of supercharging you'll still end up with higher stats

That goes for corvettes, ships, multi-tools and freighters. Supercharging always greater than adjacency if you can't do both

[livid veldt]

This is definitely over the parts limit, right?

[terse kestrel]

That's dope

I really like that. Like out of EvE

[livid veldt]

Yes, it's the best corvette IMO I've yet seen.

[abstract crow]

Nah. Not over the limit at all

[livid veldt]

< 100 ?

[abstract crow]

Looks like it

[terse kestrel]

Yeah that's probably about 80 parts. Depending on what they've gotten wedged inside

[livid veldt]

I wish I had the techniques down to do this

Vertical appeals, so

[terse kestrel]

If you got patience there's a way to build vertically easy. It involves going out the back of your airlock and placing a window on top of it.

But it's trial and error to get it straight.

Once you got that window placed though you can attach a hab to it and place it in any direction

[grizzled phoenix]

I want to build something like this but more asymmetrical

[trail hornet]

how'd they get the cowlings to be on their sides??

[regal ingot]

How'd you get the long antenna?

[warm ingot]

anyone else having issues with corvette guns firing from insanely incorrect angles in first person?

I'm trying to figure out if there's something wrong with my gun placement or if it's simply bugged

[regal ingot]

Yes it's bugged.

[warm ingot]

any fix or am i just screwed

[regal ingot]

Using only one turret, or keeping turrets in a single plane maybe

Two turrets on either side of the cockpit on one of my Corvettes worked

[elder iron]

No wonder i havent had issues, lol

Only my first corvette has turrets on different planes

[sleek oasis]

its alright

[light prairie]

How in the hell are people making this 😭 I wish I could make something like that but most of mine are rubbish

[versed island]

Ive been wanting to do a vertical ship like this so bad. I love blue and orange color scheme so much too. Might need to kinda copy that a bit.

[night merlin]

Has anyone been having a glitch where when you try to fly into a space station with a Corvette you just... Fly through it?

then lose control and have to exit

I've had that before and it was a pain

[night merlin]

Is there any way to fix it?

I switched ships

[warm ingot]

idk if this is what you meant by same plane, but this unfortunately did not fix it, so i guess 1 turret is just it unless i want to phase beam only

i genuinely have 0 other guns placed aside from those visible 6

and it's just firing in the oddest directions ever

like so

i wish i could uninstall photon cannon tbh

that's not possible though is it?

[crimson wing]

Razor Crest in NMS

[sleek oasis]

its a good attempt

[wide crown]

my corvette design got switched so some random design i never even made. is there a cause to this i can avoid or is this bug unknown?

[sleek oasis]

@crimson wing here's the best one if you want to check and it out and see if you want to improve it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZo2zoAMAV8

[crimson wing]

Thanks! I'll check it out

[warm ingot]

was able to fix by only using 2 phase beams instead of 6 (rip beams tho) and arranging them like so

[floral berry]

I’ve been wondering about this

[shadow crown]

Afaik no

[warm ingot]

google tells me it's not so i'll believe it's not

[shadow crown]

Take it out w save editor and it goes back I believe

You just have 59 tech slots and you'll like it

[warm ingot]

hopefully a big patch comes and fixes all weapon related issues, i'd love to have just a ton of phase beams on my ship without ruining every other gun

[shadow crown]

I mean I've played nms for like 3 weeks and I'm finding bugs from 3y ago

I think it is valid to wish for a lot more polish and depth in quite a few areas, lol

[light prairie]

Thats the quirks of NMS, but the devs can't fix everything as it's a very complicated game

[neon quiver]

I didn't even realize this until now but apparently it can show what you placed inside of your Corvette while in the inventory menu you can actually see the hex plate Bush right placed inside of there

[dim kite]

How can I get my first corvette

And what’s the difference beteeen it and a freighter

Is the three tours in relation to real life tours or in game hours

[crimson wing]

Go to a Space Station and on the ship dock you can start your build. The corvette is pretty much an oversized starship that you can ride along with others and decorate the inside as you see fit. The freighter is larger and allows you to have more building room, storage containers, as well as the exocraft summoning stations for use on the planets surface.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ldR4A93NYs

[dim kite]

So the theee hours before respawn is in game or real life

[regal ingot]

If you only use the ones next to your cockpit, that should work. Doing have to go down to 1

[dim kite]

Where’s the ship doc

Is it the fabricator’s

[regal ingot]

Use one of the teleporters off to the side. It'll take you right where the Corvette workshop is.

Idk what three hours you're talking about

[dim kite]

To get the freighter to respawn

[regal ingot]

Oh that's irl time

[dim kite]

Where well let me run around

Is it still accurate that the second one is capital of k refuse the first or is it the third now

Orr

[quick gyro]

Has someone made the ship from Futurama yet?

[dim kite]

lol

[glass surge]

it's on reddit most likely

[dim kite]

There’s a futursms ship

[glass surge]

or check in #nms-showcase-corvettes

[dim kite]

Is it true if I decline the first free fighter I should exit to the second to get a free capital one

Or us if third now

[regal ingot]

If you decline your first free freighter, you can get the next one that is attacked by pirates, and if you decline that one, you can try for the next, and so on. But you only get one free freighter. Once you get your free freighter, you will not be able to get another free one.

[glass surge]

If you're going to Freighter hunt and go for a S class then find a freighter's look you like and hunt for a S class.

If you're going to hunt for a Pirate S Class Freighter then take any freighter first to get the pirate event's to spawn correctly and hunt them with a starship. This will mean you trade in your first freighter for that one or possibly pay some units for it

I would not do Pirate freighter hunting with a corvette though due to how the corvette save mechnics work

[dim kite]

I lowkey just declined it cause I read somewhere that the next fight would be the capital one

I talked to him and just left I didn’t even take the money

Should be almost time for my next rescue here soon

[pastel oasis]

Is this decent looking

[grizzled phoenix]

Yes. Very good looking

[pastel oasis]

what would u rate it out of ten im only 15 hours into the game so i had minimal parts

im trying to make it look better

[glass surge]

Comparison is the thief of joy; It's not my style so it's not for me but what really matters if you like it since you have to fly it; you can always improve it later or do a creative save and just practice until you get more parts for your main save

[river bough]

can i see the back ?

[river bough]

he can do switch between modes no?

[glass surge]

you can turn off the crafting cost i believe

[river bough]

what about advanced trades

[pastel oasis]

im trying to get the screenshot to pop up on my phone of the back

[river bough]

ok

[pastel oasis]

i dont really like it rn i wish it was more sleek but im going for a industrial look

[river bough]

looks way better than mine

with a bridge

[glass surge]

i feet like that would work as well but i don't do that on my normal or survival and i don't want to so i have no full knowledge if that would work on that one can always try though

[pseudo charm]

you made that?

[river bough]

ah

[willow lichen]

Added a few lights and fuel canisters

[pastel oasis]

it looks kinda aids from the back

[river bough]

mines a rock :/

it doesnt

mines 2 engines

[pastel oasis]

i just need more hull connecting parts for the wings

and maybe different stuff for the front

[glass surge]

I should suggest to HG the solar sails from solar ships but bigger for corvettes

[river bough]

id give this overall ship a 7/10 for design

[river bough]

arent these solar saills?

[grizzled phoenix]

I would say 9. Could be better, but for 15 hours in it's especially good
I have like 50 hours and mine is a flying box

[river bough]

9 is a bit too optimistic then again, his mostly original

[pastel oasis]

yea i just need different front fairings and extend the wings and thrusters

[river bough]

havent seen a similar shi

ship*

[pastel oasis]

i basically just did random shit until it looked kinda good

[willow lichen]

They are just regular sails.

[river bough]

[trail hornet]

15 hours into the game is impressive

[river bough]

ikr

[trail hornet]

i'd give it a solid 8

[pastel oasis]

im on the last mission of the campaign but im trying to design a good corvette first

[river bough]

what campaign>

[grizzled phoenix]

Yeah I suppose so, I want to revise to 7.5. but I hold my stance on the 15 hours being impressive

[river bough]

true

[pastel oasis]

the artemis story thing

[river bough]

ah

[pastel oasis]

it doesnt really matter if i dont complete it does it

[river bough]

nope

you dont need to SPOILER ||be stuck in another galaxy and can always return||

[pastel oasis]

how do i get stuff to design the interior of my corvette

[river bough]

go inside

do similar like inside freighte4

[glass surge]

that's usually the base building stuff you can grab on the anomaly

[pastel oasis]

oh rn i dont have any of that stuff

[river bough]

wait wut

you can buy em for corvettes as well?

[pastel oasis]

i dont have furniture or anything researched im still researching all basic base stuff

[glass surge]

no you buy them for base and use it in your corvette as well as the default interior corvette modules

[river bough]

ah

[river bough]

also quick question, will my original normal save stay as authentic if i switch to creative and back to normal?

[glass surge]

no idea my creative save is separate but i plan on changing it to test some corvette parts so i don't know; i don't think this game penalizes you as a player but you can try asking in #nms-questions

[distant spruce]

Does corvettes built in modded game to increase part count have any issues when going back

[glass surge]

no idea as i don't do that you can ask in #nms-modding if no one here can answer you

[pastel oasis]

Does it look better with these at the front

I need to extend the wings out with plating and the thrusters

[river bough]

i prefer this

extemded wings makes ship look like a block with a rock sticking out

[pastel oasis]

Wait until this screenshot uploads I just barely extended wings and thrusters and it looks way better

[cursive lark]

Yes

[river bough]

thank you soo much!!!

[river bough]

looks the same

[pastel oasis]

It looks a tad bit better than at first tho right

I extended thrusters and wings out a bit

[river bough]

looks idk

[river bough]

i like this better

external wings make it look silly like a flying...pelican bird

[pastel oasis]

I just need to find a way to smooth it out ontop

[river bough]

i find your top fine?

T_T

it looks great already

[pastel oasis]

@river bough how about now

Bad lighting hold on

It looks a lot better now

[dim kite]

How do I know if it’s a Totoro tribute

Freighter should I just keep reloading or just wait for the third fight

Should I load specific maps

[glass surge]

here's a link to the faq bot with a image that shows you what is what #nms-questions message

[hardy oracle]

Sorry about the late reply, I had gone to bed by the time you asked. My speed at sea level is 1965 u/s

[graceful portal]

My attempt at an Imperial Star Destroyer. Took the skeleton of a build from YouTube and then made it as lore accurate within the 100 piece limit. Room inside for 8 as well.

Also made an escape hatch by the cockpit so I don't have to go through 6 floors to take off lol

[weary totem]

You have to try again and again there is glitch on YouTube who can help you ,one really good is the offset technique. You can try to combine part it's made more detail.

[smoky flax]

My finalized corvette. I've been tinkering with it for a few days to get it just perfect but I've finally nailed it. Stats I got on it are pretty amazing too. Ignore the damage number that appears deceptively low. That's only because I didn't install a lot of different weapons on it...which isn't a good indicator of damage anyway. The infra-knife does 114,000 damage, which is pretty much elite tier damage for a corvette. To get more you'd have to invest more than two super-charged slots into weapons. Which I don't think is a good idea. One should go to the shield tech, as the largest stat bonus Corvettes get is to shields so stacking that with a bit more juice from a SC slot is a good idea. Other shield tech don't really benefit much from SC slots so not worth doing more than one into shields. And putting one into hyperdrive tech for some more range is also worth it.

Aesthetically I also think it came out spectacularly well. Incredibly happy with it. Sleek and clean design that isn't too bulky or dull. Just an incredible ship imo. It has the vibes of a stealth or reconnaissance ship but the looks are deceptively good at concealing just how able it is in a fight with insanely good shield rating, high damage output and excellent maneuverability on top.

[weary totem]

I really like your corvette.

Nice job👍

[idle ore]

yes, glitchless, but with a LITTLE trick you can even remove those, and have a buddlejumpe haha

[strange fiber]

Have always wanted to build a corvette akin to Star Trek's Akira class escort ship (In this case, looks like an Alita class)

still WIP tho, i migth do some small changes here and there

[light prairie]

Really like it! maybe a bit less repetition but we it's hard to avoid it with big builds

[fair pilot]

Can I somehow turn the hub vertically?

also, what defines the 'vette class?

[hardy oracle]

Those stats are pretty good except for one. You should be able to fit in a whole lot more manoeuvrability. 4k+ seems to be the norm, though I have mine up to 6.1k, but that did take three supercharged slots and a bit of dedication. I'm sure it's possible to get even better with max roll x-class modules too. My guess is that you've forgotten adjacency for some pieces. I see the cockpit is sitting there all on its own. You could replace it with a medusa. Or at least place it next to medusas for adjacency.

[hardy oracle]

What do you mean? Corvettes class ships are those we build ourselves. All the ones we build are corvettes.

[fair pilot]

I meant tier*

C-B-A-S

[hardy oracle]

Oh, they are all C when you start. You upgrade them with nanites just like you would any other spaceship

[smoky flax]

Absolutely not going to happen and I have less than zero interest on more maneuverability. To put more in I'd have to dedicate more slots to pulse drive tech and take supercharged slots from other tech for it. I know some people swear it makes a difference but no. Pretty much anything over 1k maneuverability is a waste.

[hardy oracle]

It is absolutely fair to say that YOU don't want more manoeuvrability. But it scales at least it has up to 6.2k without any diminishing returns of any sort.

[fair pilot]

Ah, so that's not like "slap X top-tier reactors to achieve superiority", okay

[abstract crow]

To each their own, I guess. When they eventually fix the tech shuffle (if they haven't already) I'll desperately need to boost my maneuverability

[hardy oracle]

There's a terminal at the back of all space stations where you can pay to upgrade the class

[fair pilot]

I know, I know

I thought that there is some predefined part for that, like S-class reactor for ships.

[smoky flax]

Which you get at the cost of tanking other tech...which makes for very poor ships. And the actual difference it makes in how the ship feels and handles is basically nonexistent.

[hardy oracle]

What part of my stats do you think look tanked?

[abstract crow]

To be fair, you do only have one weapon. I like to at least have two options available

[smoky flax]

Yes. You're wasting supercharged slots on it and burning slots on nonsense like trails and bobble-heads. And you have no good weapons. Actually only the photon cannon which is a bad weapon to rely on.

[hardy oracle]

It's fine to have preferences for sure. But claiming that manoeuvrability doesn't make a difference is just false.

[smoky flax]

You dedicate 10 more slots and 3 supercharged slots to maneuverability than I do. I see that as a complete waste.

[hardy oracle]

That's fine. But that doesn't make your other statements true.

YOU don't feel like you need manoeuvrability. But it does scale past whatever arbitrary limit you made up

[smoky flax]

What I would absolutely feel is a lack of weapons if all I had was the photon cannon to do damage, I'll tell you that.

[hardy oracle]

That's fine. I don't agree but those are opinions and I'm not trying to convince you about that.

[smoky flax]

And when you say "it scales" it still makes basically no difference gameplay wise. Maybe boost faster if you're trying to run from combat but you wouldn't need to if you had better weapons. Dedicating 22 tech slots and 3 super-charged slots to maneuverability is chasing to stack an empty stat. Your choice to tank your ship.

[hardy oracle]

Nothing about what youi're saying is factual. Turning speed, boosting and cruising speed all keep scaling. It's fine to not want more of it, but saying that it doesn't make a difference is just not true.

[smoky flax]

To what end? It barely takes at most two minutes to pulse from one planet on the edge of a system to the furthest across from it and that almost never happens. And doesn't help with pulse fishing for events. Combat matters a lot more and is relevant a lot more.

[hardy oracle]

That's fair, you do you.

[mystic canopy]

anyone happen to know what's a nice transparent buildable I could use for something like a fishbowl habitat corvette of sorts. Something like a flat glass wall?

[hardy oracle]

I was curious so I tested long it takes to kill a ship with a photon cannon. I didn't find any ship that lasted more than 3 seconds. Whatever time savings you could get from faster combat (And I'm sure it IS possible to do more damage than I do) surely can't outweigh reducing all travel times by a third.

[smoky flax]

Not interested in saving very marginal measures of time. In-atmosphere boost is limited anyway and most of the time you exit atmosphere to pulse anyway. I'd much rather have the extra hyperdrive range and in the case of corvettes shield strength. Their built in stat bonuses are those of haulers which means they have a massive shield bonus...that's what their built for. High defense with ok damage bonus.

Saving 10 to 20 seconds when pulsing at the cost of other stats is not interesting to me...at all. I rather built each ship to be capable in all fields with focus on amplifying the strengths of the ships type.

I have literally never thought pulsing between planets took too long. And most of my ships have maneuverability of about 1k. My two living ships are the only ones with less and even they do just fine travel-wise.

[hardy oracle]

I don't think I'm giving up on anything to get all that speed. The only sacrifice I made for my setup is not having multiple weapons. But the photon cannon melts anything faster than I can point at them so it hardly seems to matter.

[lusty raven]

I don't trust my creativity at all, but it seems like something good has come out of it.

[abstract crow]

I think my base may need a bigger corvette port.

[smoky flax]

Hopefully at some point we'll get buildable corvette landing pads for our bases. That would be nice. We have a content update coming on Wednesday most likely so even if the update isn't about corvettes they could still include a landing pad for them that we might obtain from the Anomaly or something.

[abstract crow]

There's a mod that let's you place the ones that float above your freighter that I should download, but yeah. We definitely need something.

[stark dirge]

We have the same Corvette, looks wise

[hardy oracle]

Yay, space bees unite!

[stark dirge]

More like beetles lel

[hardy oracle]

Or potato 😄

[stark dirge]

I made mine longer

[hardy oracle]

Either way I think it's a cute shape

[stark dirge]

Did you copy the tutorial on YouTube?

[hardy oracle]

Nope

Here's a quick view of it from more angles, if you're curious

[stark dirge]

Oh nvm, I got the design from YouTube

[hardy oracle]

Nothing wrong with taking inspiration from the creativity of others. Nothing is ever truly unique and that's fine 🙂

[stark dirge]

That’s very much true

[hardy oracle]

Every new iteration is a chance for improvement

[hardy olive]

I need to learn how to build a Corvette that isn't a flying box 🫤

[supple willow]

Just add random things in corners

[abstract crow]

"Random bullshit, go!" - my thought process

[weak jacinth]

My main one is a flying box... But that's because it's a hauler and I love storage space

... Now that I think about it, I need to unload some crap into it.. I'm walking around with like 3 stacks of wiring looms

[carmine nacelle]

On the corvette trade terminal is there a way to increase the item i need then try and trade my parts. I need 14 of one specific part and this is long

[cursive lark]

Nope

[carmine nacelle]

Takes so long

There needs to be some kind of basket system or just let me increase the amount I want. I've grinder for hours getting parts to trade for specific parts and this feels like to boring bit

[dusty valve]

i love your huge corevettes

[livid veldt]

That is awesome. You used the ladder rotation glitch to get the exit ramp front mounted?

What can I put here to make the bare corner more sleek / hidden?

[real elm]

time for decorations

[livid veldt]

Yes. Ideas for that corner?

[abstract crow]

Appreciate it. I'm trying to create ship designs that I put in a book I'm working on so I can actually have a visual representation to help with descriptions. A custom freighter for be even better for that, but who knows what the future holds.

[real elm]

This'll sound weird, but the shelves, panels, and storage units can be used to cover all kinds of sins

they can be resized and recolored too, most of them

It will take a huge dump of salvaged data tech to unlock everything you *might *want to use for that, but having the choice is worth it

[hardy oracle]

No, just press E to rotate it

[livid veldt]

Oh - you can just rotate and mount the ramp on the front of a hab?

[cursive lark]

Yes

[hardy oracle]

Yep, no trickery needed

[livid veldt]

Hmm

[livid veldt]

Is there any real glitching involved in that build at all?

[hardy oracle]

Sure, plenty of half-tile offsets being used to hide all the reactors and guns inside the shell. It's fully teched out despite the basic exterior

[livid veldt]

What kind of interior walkable space is there?

[real elm]

How does having the ramp and cockpit on the same side cause the ship to land when summoned on a planet?

Does it land with the ramp/cockpit facing towards or away from you?

Also, if you put the cockpit/ramp both on the "back" when building your corvette, is it possible to have a backwards flying ship?

[cursive lark]

It lands towards your like a normal ship

[hardy oracle]

Ramp and cockpit towards you

[fervent mist]

Daily: Are the landing gear still busted?

Post

[livid veldt]

That is awesome

I have been wanting to build a front ramped ship, smallish, like this - I am going to have to use aspects of this as a starting point. Very nice.

[abstract crow]

I'm discovering that my massive cruiser-corvette design has one more major flaw: I can't fucking call it in anywhere, lol. I'm going to need to put aqua jets or whatever those things are on it so I can call it on the ocean.

[fervent mist]

It’s Blastoise

[elder iron]

Wow, seriously!? That must be crazy, I wonder if it keeps that speed when holding course during autopilot

[livid veldt]

That is awesome. I feel like I might've seen this somewhere around here before. I will learn from this, as well. It's all in the reflexes, I guess.

[hardy oracle]

No, autopilot cruises around at way lower speed. Not in game right now but I think it's around 400

[elder iron]

Thats still pretty dang fast. I never timed mine during autopilot but I sometimes feel like its too fast since im looking for surface features, lol

[hardy oracle]

Yeah, I think it's a bit on the too fast side for me. It doesn't really make scanning difficult but you have to be really active about it.

[real elm]

I built my corvette with a very particular design in mind, so I wish I had the freedom to stack stuff like that

Sadly, moving anything around breaks the custom decoration parts I placed

It was rough just getting them placed, and the Nebuchadnezzar doesnt have any thrusters on it in the first place, so hiding them was a compromise

Still, with how I built it, this was the best I could do with every best mod I had

If anyone spots something stupid, let me know, I've only just started to figure out supercharged slots

[livid veldt]

Damn use of those lights is awesome. That's obv the Nebuchadnezzar.

[real elm]

Thanks, it was really hard to get the ones pointing downwards to work, since you can only place decorations on TOP of things, not under

[terse kestrel]

773 maneuverability.....flies like a boat in the mud huh? 😂

You got good adjacency bonuses. But supercharged slots add more stats than adjacency

[real elm]

It's pretty meh, I put my thrusters in supercharged slots and all adjacent

Not sure how to improve it further

[terse kestrel]

Go with pause beams instead photo. blaster.

[real elm]

the damage is far more than needed to kill pirates or sentinels, and I heard the infraknife is even better

[terse kestrel]

Phase beam*

Then move all your S class pulse drive mods to supercharged slots

[real elm]

I really do need more maneuverability, not damage

[terse kestrel]

Exactly. And since phase beams are even stronger you won't need to have them supercharged. Saving those for your pulse drive mods

[real elm]

I cant quite figure out why the 'damage potential' number is so weird, when the actual DPS of the photon cannon in balanced mode is 20,353

[real elm]

I thought phase beams were the weaker weapon, and saps shields?

havent tried anything other than photon cannon yet

[terse kestrel]

They are broken

The damage calculated per phase beam is multiplied for each one attached to your ship

At a maximum of 6

[real elm]

Ah, so the phase beam turret pod corvette attachement multiplies?

[terse kestrel]

But they can't fix it.....or regular ships with 1 phase beam will be super weal

Yeah

It's the only weapon that does it

[real elm]

Im guessing that the corvette weapons dont apply their bonus to any weapon not that specific one

Like the photon cannon corvette mod doesnt apply any bonus to an infraknife

[raven rover]

thats really siiickk

[terse kestrel]

I'd also try to find a way to attach at least 2 Humboldt reactors for even better maneuverability

[raven rover]

just get more S class pulse modules or if ur a gambler

X class

[terse kestrel]

If you use offset building and move the reactors half a spot back you can hide them under these cowlings. So they're not seen

On top and bottom I mean

[real elm]

I'll have to give that a shot, I'm worried it'll break things because the hoverpod decorations are REALLY fragile, and moving the structures under them causes them to delete/break

[terse kestrel]

If you do it right you can fit 3 Humboldt reactors in a 3x2 space. Rather than their normal 6x2

[shadow wraith]

I remember having my starship glitch out and having two pulse engines, two landing thrusters, and shields

[raven rover]

whats even a humboldt?

[shadow wraith]

Thing went 1200U in atmosphere

[raven rover]

Isnt that the nautiluses reactor?

[raven rover]

thats an medusa

[terse kestrel]

3 Humboldts slammed in there lol

[shadow wraith]

Yeah, Medusa is the one that increases maneuverability

[real elm]

Can you explain how you got them in there? I heard of some methods, but never tried them

[raven rover]

😭

[shadow wraith]

I use 2x Medusa and 1x of that circular reactor on my VCX thing

[raven rover]

Offsetting

This

[raven rover]

i use 1 ceto

[terse kestrel]

Look up Beebelbum on YT

Specifically his offset and rotated building

[raven rover]

Just for the looks

[real elm]

Really hoping this works, if it breaks these are a PAIN to place again

[terse kestrel]

He just put those videos out recently

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

[shadow wraith]

Though I might change it to 3x Medusa since I can just use the Landing recharge module instead of an actual reactor

[terse kestrel]

Both of the methods are so simple. No fact trigger work or glitching

[raven rover]

Yup

Or

[terse kestrel]

Medusa rectors lol....not Humboldt

Sorry for the confusion

[raven rover]

Exchange the cockpit to a medusa

[terse kestrel]

Got them confused

[raven rover]

I believe you can only have 2 medusas

[shadow wraith]

How tf do I pilot it then

[raven rover]

If you have the cockpit

[raven rover]

Place 3 medusas first before placing the cockpit

[terse kestrel]

Yeah when you place your reactors delete the cockpit first. Then replace after reactors are set

[raven rover]

Otherwise only 2 medusas counts

[shadow wraith]

Ah, that

[raven rover]

The other one gets overriden by the cockpit

[terse kestrel]

Cockpit counts as a reactor......

Derp

[shadow wraith]

Nah, probably counted as a "maneuverability" part as a whole

[raven rover]

Yeah

Maneuver thing

[shadow wraith]

Since it doesn't mix with other reactors

[raven rover]

Anw the medusa is better if you want to minmax

[terse kestrel]

But it adjacency boosts with reactors. Not pulse drive or booster

[shadow wraith]

Booster is counted as thrusters

The only odd thing of the bunch is the Thunderbird Landing part

Since it works as both thrusters AND landing gear

[terse kestrel]

Wish there were more dual bonus parts like that

[shadow wraith]

But still boosts as a landing gear

[raven rover]

im super sad that the thunderbird landing gear is so small

[shadow wraith]

I actually like it as is

[raven rover]

If only it were bigger

Or add another one

Like the promo image

[shadow wraith]

Useful for those 2Hx1Wx2H shuttles

[raven rover]

yeah for smaller builds it works fine

But i'd like a bigger one 😭

[shadow wraith]

Actually, I'd think the thunderbird big thrusters are actually for that part

Looks like the one on the cover art, just needs to rotate

[raven rover]

But thats horizontal

I need vertical ones or rotateable ones

😭

[raven rover]

Yeah

i mean i could just use the rotation bug but

[shadow wraith]

I just need a much smaller landing gear IMO

[raven rover]

Actual rotating ones would be cool

[shadow wraith]

The current basic one is top huge for anything other than larger ships

[raven rover]

i just use the mag

[shadow wraith]

never mind the current bug that it doesn't retract or anything

[raven rover]

Exclusively even

I dont like the basic one

[shadow wraith]

It looks fine on launch

[raven rover]

The extending legs to match the terrain sounds cool

But when i use it

It looks like the ship is standing up

😭

And it could just waddle away at any moment

[shadow wraith]

Yeah, I want one that looks like standard starship feet

Or like sleds

[raven rover]

Ikr

A bit beefier and we gucci

[shadow wraith]

Mmm tank landing gear

[real elm]

Where were you thinking I would be able to place the medusa reactors? First or second image?

[raven rover]

I just made my own landing gear thinh

[terse kestrel]

There is a HEAVY Landing Gear in the game files. With the other ones we have

[raven rover]

semi tank feet ish

[terse kestrel]

It's one of many Corvette parts that are there. In the game. Just not accessible.....YET

There's also two thrusters and a heavy booster we can't build yet

Multiple wings and cowlings too

[shadow wraith]

Mine looks fine with the stock landing gear

[raven rover]

Ooh smol

[shadow wraith]

Just needs to retract properly and it'd be good

[raven rover]

i really need to make a smol one

[terse kestrel]

Also a holo tube entry way......whatever that is

So we can expect more parts before long it seems

[shadow wraith]

Idk, I consider it pretty chunky as a whole

[raven rover]

||the ambassador heavy booster looks really cool||

[raven rover]

Compact would be a better word

[terse kestrel]

Oh there is also UNKNOWN REACTOR 5&6 in the files too

[shadow wraith]

Oh yeah

I also need a much smaller Titan Booster

[terse kestrel]

So that other landing gear is likely much bigger. From the name it has

[shadow wraith]

Like, 0.75x the size

Idk, it probably just be a "rugged" variant

[raven rover]

mine's just a really big chonker

red one to the right

[shadow wraith]

Curvy

Yeah, mine looks compact

[grizzled phoenix]

Haha snail

[shadow wraith]

Here's a much earlier build of it, to compare with the thunderbird booster

[real elm]

Is it possible to rotate the Medusa reactor? It looks like trash when only facing forward

[shadow wraith]

Yeah, using the hab rotation

[terse kestrel]

When you rotate your hab everything connects to it "backwards"

Can even put a rear facing cockpit that way

[real elm]

The habs dont rotate naturally, does this have to do with the interior ladder thing?

[raven rover]

Yes

[terse kestrel]

The hab rotate method take 1 minute to learn and 5 secs to do it

If you rotate and then offset you can fit a 3rd one between the two

That's how you get them all in a 3x2 space

Half their normal profile

[shadow wraith]

I just clip them inside a part

[real elm]

I've got two in there, trying to get the third, hopefully I'll be able to place the cowling over them afterwards

[terse kestrel]

You might have to offset the cowling but it's doable

The red circles side by side are the Medusa dives.

The bottom red one is the pistons

Your cowling would snap when my pistons are

You can also jam 3 big boosters into a single space

That's two titan heavies and a Thunderbird all in one spot

Their snap points are the arms to the sides. So the graphic of the booster can be wedged into each other if offset right

[pseudo shore]

Would this be possible to build

[raven rover]

possible i'd say

I have smth close to that

At least the overall shape

[pseudo shore]

Would be sick tho

[raven rover]

Not same but close enough

[real elm]

How do hab modules that are shoved together using the offset method work? Are they glitched or unwalkable, or do things work normally?

[shadow wraith]

Unwalkable, yeah

They won't connect at all unless they face the same direction and on the same "grid"

[terse kestrel]

You don't have to keep the hab of you used it to offset a piece. So don't worry about deleting it.

I build and delete so many Habs while building.

[real elm]

I figured that out, but I moved my cockpit forward 1/2 space, and now it seems like its inaccessable

[dusk reef]

good lord

[real elm]

I'm also working on cramming as many engines into that back section as possible, and hiding them inside another structure

[raven rover]

😭

[dusk reef]

i wanna build one like that now...

[raven rover]

dew it...

[dusk reef]

i gotta add a mod so i can get huge corvette building spots first

[raven rover]

i love triple rockhoppers

[raven rover]

Complexity limit or the building area?

[dusk reef]

building area

[real elm]

If only it was possible to flip the rockhopper prop mod vertically, instead of just horizontally

[dusk reef]

i already cut off the complexity

im in the indominus legion (idk if yall know what that is) and this is one guys corvette

its

insane

[raven rover]

Holy damn

[dusk reef]

i sat on it for like 30 minutes and it didnt load fully

[dusk reef]

yeaa

[real elm]

Thats not a corvette, thats a custom capital ship with a built in DDOS mod

[dusk reef]

it also works as a giant laser

[dusk reef]

its about 2x bigger than a freighter

[real elm]

Since that size is very variable, how does it compare to the pirate dreadnaught?

[dusk reef]

i think he compared it to a dreadnaught

ill ask him rq

[real elm]

A better comparison is how far does it protrude from the dock when he lands in a space station?

[dusk reef]

he had to launch from the space anomaly to even launch properly

[real elm]

Was he unable to undock from the space station after building the thing?

thats hilarious

[dusk reef]

im not sure

im guessing he ended up hitting the station a bunch

i remember sitting in it as he flew and he literally bumped into the planet he was trying to land on

didnt even break the atmosphere yet

[real elm]

He should call it the Third Leg

[dusk reef]

i cant even remember what its called

[terse kestrel]

That's not a ship.....it's a troll 😭

It's so big it deserves three different names

Hope you can find a gas giant size station to land it in.

[real elm]

Since the anomaly vanishes behind you, it might launch from there

[terse kestrel]

Nada took one look at that and told Atlas to hurry up already

When light no fire drops these people will build ships that are just one giant bridge between Continents

[real elm]

Well, I managed to get 3 Medusa reactors hidden in the cowling, and 4? extra thrusters hidden in the back end, so a significant improvement in maneuverability and speed

Cant access the cockpit because I messed up the hab placment, but thats a work in progress

[raven rover]

Siiick

[terse kestrel]

Put your Medusa where the red circles are

Photons where the yellow circles are.

That phase canon in the green circle

[sleek cargo]

Why there is a Infra-Knife Platform in the game files but we can't install it ? Was there a reason ?

[terse kestrel]

Might double your manueverability

There's that, boosters, a landing platform and wings there too that we cant use

Later update likely. Will unlock them and add other pqrts

[hexed thicket]

Same reason why corvettes feel like the kind of DLC pack you buy a recent game with and have to spend ten minutes clicking through the popups for after starting.

The Voyagers update seems to have been fairly well rushed. Rushed out the door, one might say.

[cursive lark]

Not in game yet, unreleased. I think it's coming with the doors update

[sleek cargo]

They didn't provide any reason ? I'm asking because we can add it with a mod, so I don't see why it wasn't released with the other weapons since it looks like it works out of the box

[cursive lark]

It's just not released

Probably wasn't done when the update dropped a couple months ago

You have to remember that hg didn't release these files, they were datamined. Also this is probably more appropriate for #nms-spoilers

[abstract crow]

I really hope the next update is just called the door update.

[cursive lark]

Probably gonna be something like gateways or portals

[nimble pewter]

I named my Corvette Clive

[terse kestrel]

Expedition 20: Doors of Atlas

Step 1: construct a door

Step 2: walk through another players door

Reward: Door helmet

Tbh I would love that

[abstract crow]

"No Man's Sky: Door"

[dusk reef]

dude whats happening
