[abstract crow]

Imagine going through an unassuming door and just being randomly put through a separate door somewhere else at random. Someone's base, a station, random structure, a corvette...

[nimble pewter]

Is there any way to increase the size limit of 100 btw?

[terse kestrel]

"so .....you're awake"

[nimble pewter]

My star destroyed looks funny 🙁

[hot spruce]

How do people get over 3000 manoeuvrability??

[abstract crow]

You'd be flying in your corvette and suddenly someone completely random just appears in your ship

[dusk reef]

mods

[nimble pewter]

Any recommendations?!

[dusk reef]

also add windows after building it saves up spots

[nimble pewter]

yeah i did that

[dusk reef]

i can send you mine rq

[nimble pewter]

I maxed out at 100 so now it looks silly

[dusk reef]

you need the vortex mod manager

[abstract crow]

You don't need vortex if you know how to download and install mods manually.

But Nexus Mods has everything you'd need for NMS.

[nimble pewter]

I mean i can but if theres an easier way ima do that xD

[dusk reef]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3701
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3835

top one drops complexity bottom one gives more room to build

[dusk reef]

its a hell of a lot easier though

[abstract crow]

I've heard mixed reviews. Yes it can do most of the work for you, but Vortex can absolutely drop the ball and make things messier than necessary on occasion

[dusk reef]

its been working perfect for me

[nimble pewter]

ty 🙂

[abstract crow]

I mean, NMS is probably simple enough to mod. But you try Vortex on something like Fallout and things can get nasty.
But that's for another channel. How about them corvettes, huh?

[dusk reef]

👍

[real elm]

I plan on doing something like that, I'm still shoving around the physical positioning, I'll work on the tech fitting afterwards

[terse kestrel]

Min/maxing tech, utilizing supercharge slots and using all the various boosters bought with quicksilver

Supercharging beats adjacency bonuses. Always. So if have to spread out your tech mods for manueverability in favor of SC slots you still end up with higher stats

[real elm]

You can buy mods with QS? news to me

I was just buying cool capes and stuff

[abstract crow]

Trails and bobble heads and such.

[willow lichen]

What other decorations should I add?

[real elm]

The circular lights when scaled way up or down look neat

[willow lichen]

Where would I put the circular lights?

[elder iron]

Oh thats a really nice use of the golden counters

[real elm]

Well, they can scale pretty big, so maybe on that big flat side panel?

[willow lichen]

Thanks. It was a little annoying getting them on, as deleting one counter deleted them all.

As for its stats, they aren’t too high as this is a micro-corvette. So it has no guns (other than the decorative ones on the cockpit), landing gear, thrusters, reactor, or habs.

[real elm]

How did you trick the system into accepting no gun emplacements?

[willow lichen]

You add all the components to the side, finalize it, then go to the next corvette construction pad, and from there move the build camera back and delete the extra parts you don’t want.

[real elm]

Thats actually genius, I wonder if I could nix the landing gear that way

[naive oracle]

Okay so, curiosity: The game lets you walk into other people's corvettes, and even gives you prompts to interact with stuff in their ships. Is the game essentially letting you steal if you really wanted? Or does it only benefit you and doesn't affect the other player at all?

[real elm]

You cant steal their stuff, containers 0-9 link to YOUR containers, not theirs

[willow lichen]

I enjoy micro corvettes because you can pack so much detail into them. They are essentially the size of a fighter or hauler, but you can put decorations on there.

[naive oracle]

Alright, I was worried about feeling like an intruder that way. What about their plants, though?

[real elm]

From what I can tell, there's not really any point to having a guest aboard, they are just an observer

[elder iron]

Traveling with friends is fun

[real elm]

I dont think they can harvest plants, or place/remove anything, since its essentially a moving base you own

[elder iron]

Especially when I give a ride on the open deck of my explorer corvette

[elder iron]

Oh you can harvest plants

Thats how I got the milestone in the expedition, lol

Well, finished getting it

[real elm]

Guests can harvest plants?

[naive oracle]

And does that affect the other player?

[elder iron]

I think so, but i didnt know that when I grabbed them

[naive oracle]

We gotta test this.

[real elm]

If the only thing a guest/stowaway can do is harvest plants and access their own stuff, thats not a bad thing

[elder iron]

Usually base logic lets you harvest plants without actually harvesting them for the owner

[naive oracle]

Anyone want my friend code?

[elder iron]

If you forget about restricting build permissions a guest can build decorations on a corvette

[willow lichen]

One thing I love about micro corvettes is that they can have so much personality. Here is my sail ship and my mining ship.

[real elm]

Oh crap, how do I set that and please tell me its on by default

[elder iron]

Network settings and no it isnt

[naive oracle]

Right here:

[elder iron]

Woah, what are those drill things?

[elder iron]

Can add base parts is one too, lol

[willow lichen]

The beautiful secret? Bulldozer bucket but turned inwards. The bottom has these teeth that are PERFECT for drills

[real elm]

Got that fixed, I wouldve probably quit if someone joined my group and ruined my corvette, it was NOT easy to place that stuff

[elder iron]

Dang, I should really take the time to look at decoration parts from all angles

[willow lichen]

The steam generators are also great. They have a steam particle effect.

Perfect for any industrial ship

The main downside with these parts is they can’t be colored

[elder iron]

I used those combined with other generator parts to make a generator for my cabin

[willow lichen]

On my driller ship, they are the engines

[real elm]

Some of the lights have a projected 'aura' of light that looks neat. It doesnt actually produce light though

[willow lichen]

Like the octo cabinet?

[real elm]

That, and the square floodlight, and a couple of the big street lamps

If you can place them, then put a cowling section over them, it looks awsome

[dusk reef]

idk if im even going to use this i put so many parts that its actually lagging me

[real elm]

Yeah, thats why I didnt' make the Nebuchadnezzar to actual scale, it would be absurdly large and difficult to make, and likely wouldnt render in for most people anyways

I'm trying to cover up this section, but most of the corvette parts fit quite well, any suggestions to blend it in a bit better?

I managed to stuff 3 medusa reactors into that space, but the cowling doesnt cover them up well, the weird disc things on top also arent ideal

[terse kestrel]

Oh that's pretty sick tbh

Stuff like that is how you give your ships unique flair

You'll get people in the anomaly flying around that part of your ship wondering how you made that happen 😂

[real elm]

This is my source material, it wasnt easy getting close

[spare knoll]

From the matrix?

[real elm]

yes indeed

[spare knoll]

That's one ship recreation I haven't seen yet, which in retrospect is crazy. You did a good job with it too!

[real elm]

Thanks, it wasnt easy

[terse kestrel]

Could half offset Arcadia Aero foil to the sides. They would mesh into the pods and cover the sides of the reactors

[real elm]

I only saw one person on reddit make an attempt, and it wasnt good

[terse kestrel]

That would round out the middle nicely

If they weren't half offset they would stick out of the fuel pods

[real elm]

I dont actually have any of those, which is weird considering how many other parts I have

[terse kestrel]

Gotcha

[real elm]

good lord I forgot how bad the trade interface was

[real elm]

sadly, its WAY bigger than I thought, and protrudes poorly

just one of those is the size of the entire ship side

[terse kestrel]

I still think it works having them stack like that and semi-visible. The ship wasn't sleek in the movie after all.

But I wish I could decky ship out in random pipes and wires. Make it look piece together by some junker

[shadow crown]

It is a bit weird that we don't have the exterior variety to, imo, truly match the interior aesthetics of the 3 styles

[real elm]

ah, I fixed the weird red discs of the medusa reactors, making them a different color turned those particular bits a burnished silver instead of red

[terse kestrel]

I think the interior team and the exterior team were two different design teams that hardly worked with each other....

There's zero conceptual similarities between exterior and interiors. It's just two different things

The ambassador stuff looks too low quality on the outside to match the prestigious inside.

And the raider/junky interior of the titan clashes with how nice the exterior looks

[real elm]

This feels like a dumb solution and I'm not sure how well it works, but I stuck a rounded window there

It kinda blends it, and still shows the blue glowy bits, which are hard to come by

[sleek oasis]

how does this look?

[real elm]

Use photo mode, hard to tell what I'm looking at

[sleek oasis]

here

[real elm]

I meant photo mode in-game, not photoshop. Its difficult to tell how well the part fits the aesthetic you're aiming for with that angle

[willow lichen]

Interior finished. Super tiny and cozy

[long pawn]

What a great idea!

[real elm]

Thats incredible, I dont have access to some of those decorations

[real elm]

Is there a way to make the interior of hab mods black?

[fervent mist]

You gotta be nuts to release a “multiplayer capable” ship expansion and not include group seating anywhere

[real elm]

Also, if you want to show off your corvette, put it here #nms-showcase-corvettes

This channel is for build discussion

[willow lichen]

I do apologize

[real elm]

You're fine, but you'll get people asking how you did it, instead of just admiration

[fervent mist]

Here’s a functional seating arrangement for the thunderbird nutrition processor:

[real elm]

Do the functional additions like the storage containers look different in the different hull mods?

[fervent mist]

Yes.

[sleek oasis]

[real elm]

Might be worth swapping because the titan ones look super industrial

orange and rough steel is not a great look if you cant customize the color scheme

[sleek oasis]

[real elm]

Id say it works pretty well

You can probably make it more tailored to your design with decorations afterwards

[sleek oasis]

im recreating this

[real elm]

You're definitely goin to have an easier time than I did with that core design

[sleek oasis]

the main issue is we don't have a fucking 2x2 triangle

so it always looks off

the one we have is either 1x1 or 2x1

[real elm]

That top bit might look better with a rear-facing Turbine Cowling, but that's only if it'll fit

You can also try using decorations scaled WAY up to make up the gap

[sleek oasis]

idk if its better

[sleek oasis]

@shadow wraith thoughts?

[real elm]

I'd roll with the previous iteration

[sly sparrow]

I dont think the game can load these many parts dud 🥀

[sleek oasis]

its possible that it's in the process of getting built

that's what it looks like when the service bot builds it

[real elm]

Sooooo... this shouldnt have worked, but apparently the mod that expands base building/rotation/placement also allows you to place exosuit docks on your corvette

[abstract crow]

Yeah, that's a base part.

[real elm]

Also, there's an invisible wall at the end of the dock :C

[abstract crow]

You can put functional landing pads, too. But landed ships just stay where the pad was if you move.

[real elm]

I wonder if I can pilot my scooter around in the anomaly

[real elm]

Hmmm this may have been unwise, my ship is failing to dock in the anomaly

Turns out, putting exosuit docks on your ship makes your ship unable to land, at all

[iron onyx]

its really difficult to pilot exocraft in space

[sly sparrow]

Made my ship alot bulkier than it was before, trying to get that elite dangerous look

Its rlly hard to keep it with the complexity limit tho

Increase it to 105 🙏

[hardy oracle]

Meanwhile my own ship is probably less than 40 parts. Not sure how to tell

[glass surge]

Once you start getting up to 80 parts the game will tell you about the complexity limit in the upper right window under your ship stats.

You can still go over if you're using techniques to force snap positions etc but it will not let you finalize until you're at or under 100 parts

this is without mods

[sly sparrow]

Wrong landing pad lmao

[regal sapphire]

Question, Does turning off crafting costs make corvettes free to build?
I wanna make a big new corvette for my survival save, but really don't wanna deal with the gathering of modules and materials.
(seriously, why are the ambassador and titan modules NOT in the corvette part store?)

[abstract crow]

Oh good. A mod that fixes the corvette stairs railings not having collision

[glass surge]

This is from my survival save and i have the modules in the trade section of trading modules; i think they're considered advanced modules you you can't buy them outright only the basic modules and habs.

I don't think HG penalizes you for switching crafting to free and then back so you can do that

[regal sapphire]

I was referring to the units store, that one only stocks Thunderbird components (Except for the landing ramp, which is Titan-Class for some reason.)

Oh, wait, you explained it...
In my defense, I'm a wee bit tired.

[glass surge]

oky i'm going back to farming parts on my main save

[livid veldt]

I want to slide a hab forward by a smaller increment than 100% or 50% -- there was some way to move something in like 1/5 increments fwd bkwd, wasn't there, with a glitch? What part is that?

[elder iron]

Rockhopper hover thruster looking thing works sometimes

[livid veldt]

Ah that's what I saw in the video, I think

[glass surge]

rockhopper works but i think it's with titan habs that it works best

[elder iron]

I got it to work once so far, but not a second time

[elder iron]

Huh, weird that it would matter, but I think i did happen to use a titan hab the time I got it working

[livid veldt]

I am working on a build based on @hardy oracle ' ship: #nms-corvette-discussion message

[glass surge]

i mean you can still do titan hab + rockhopper then get your favorite hab and replace the titan one

[livid veldt]

I saw a vid recently where someone said "and use a Titan hab here"

and I wondered how it would matter

glitch build vid

Trying to palce a turrent centered and slid forward a bit is what I'm after

[elder iron]

Yeah thats what I did

Well, it wasn't for a hab, but an engine, so it didnt matter which hab i used regardless

[livid veldt]

What, do you place the Titan hab and attach rockhopper to the side and then you can slide the titan hab in small increments?

That's not working - but I assume that's too simplistic a drill

Or is it the Rockhopper that moves in small increments with the hab staying still?

[elder iron]

It should be both, but I think the rockhopper being moved first helps

[livid veldt]

Hmm

[glass surge]

it's the right side of the hab when the exit to the station is on your right camera wise that has different snap points the other side doesn't for some reason.

so if you're being symmetrical on your build you still going to have to put it on the right side of whatever hab to refine the snap points when looking left

[elder iron]

Ohh, that might also be why it was inconsistent for me, lol

[livid veldt]

Oh yea - I just saw this moments ago: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xgoZM-GxJ-w

[glass surge]

yeah i had to do that a lot for my build i posted in the showcase it would speed up build time if it worked on both sides instead of having to remove and replace parts

[elder iron]

Yesss more open deck corvettes!

[covert hollow]

Hero2U had a Vid on youtube where he made one... I extrapilated and made my own 🙂

[elder iron]

I still need an updated screenshot, but this pic has the overall structure of my corvette anyway

[covert hollow]

SWEET! I was kicking around the ideas on what to use for guardrails...

[elder iron]

Yes but the amount you can scale down decreases the further from the ship "center" you go

I recommend placing guardrails on the furthest corner of your corvette, then copying that to use all around

[covert hollow]

I built 3 and this is my open deck cruiser type, but yes I will fiddle with it more

[shadow wraith]

Considering you already have a 45° things, how about using two supercruise fairing on each side

Probably another level for middle hump

[elder iron]

I have 3 as well. My first is the one I built in the expedition, and I plan on keeping that one's design as is for a keepsake. Second is my open deck, and third is my attempt at a small corvette that is still acceptable to my standards of use

(Third has two habs and two walkways so I can still have plenty of storage containers)

[sleek oasis]

what do you mean?

[covert hollow]

Small Medium and large lol I have to make pics of the smaller ones. Im on it.

[elder iron]

I havent gotten a pic of the small one yet, but my expedition corvette is almost identical to this picture (all ive added since was a zenith reactor)

[covert hollow]

The USS mudbug

[elder iron]

Ooh. I'll log on in a bit to take some screenshots of my own small corvette

[shadow wraith]

Like this, but in a 45 degree angle

[sleek oasis]

instead of?

[covert hollow]

that's all my new ones lol

[covert hollow]

There's alot of room in that mudbug lol

[shadow wraith]

Instead of the two firebird fairing

[sleek oasis]

its too low

@shadow wraith wait a minute

[sleek oasis]

ghost v3

[tired kestrel]

does anyone have any general tips for making your corvette less boxy? i made my first original corvette earlier and i think it looks ok but it still looks sort of boxy. i would like a corvette that looks sleek

[agile hamlet]

Howdy! Is there a way to put the Thunderbird Landing Thrusters on the right side of a hab, when it's on the left side of the ship?

Nevermind. I was able to do it. Maybe it was the camera angle. 🤷‍♂️

[covert hollow]

there are wings, winglets, and other coverings that help to make your ship more streamlined.
Hero2u has whole videos on making streamlined corvettes. https://www.youtube.com/@hero2u1/videos

[sleek oasis]

What did you mean?

[agile hamlet]

When I tried before, I could only put the Thrusters on the outside side of the ship, but tried again and could put them where I wanted. 👍

[sleek oasis]

What I'm saying is I couldn't understand what you meant, can you show?

You wanted to put engines inwards?

[shadow wraith]

Probably meant about mirroring

[agile hamlet]

I have open spaces where the Thrusters were only snapping to the inner hab, when I wanted them on the other side of the space

[shadow wraith]

Since it only faces in one side until you press E/R

[sleek oasis]

Yea sometimes you need to try different angles

[glass cloak]

Trying to figure out a way to make a very tall ship, and I don't want to have many exposed elements of the hab sections. I can and have made maybe three or four-tiered ships without exposing the habs too much, but I'm curious if any of you have recommendations about getting SUPER tall.

[terse kestrel]

I saw someone on Reddit say that corvettes and some of the weird builds make the game seem like it's turning into fortnite.....and others agreed

[raven rover]

Like vertical ships?

[glass cloak]

Not STRAIGHT up and down, but those with a primarily vertical design.

[terse kestrel]

Like....they haven't been there for all the Mario, Rick and Morty and Ninja turtle base build all these years.

[raven rover]

You could use some glitches to make the habs vertical so you can build vertically, the actual functioning parts still need to be horizontal tho

[terse kestrel]

There's a method of building vertically that involves using base parts at a PlanetSide base. And another method that involves glitching a window onto your Corvette while in space

So you can make a tall vert ship with horizontal accessible parts

[raven rover]

heres my vertical ship

With no glitches

Heres my other one with vertical habs

[shadow crown]

Someone mentioned open deck ships

Do those work to stand on or do you get tossed

[agile hamlet]

I just got tossed going up stairs to the 2nd level.

[terse kestrel]

Yeah....those stars can suck a gek

Put decorative barricades at an angel meshed into the handrails. Stabilizes them alot

The handrails are literally graphical

[agile hamlet]

Do I put my finished corvette images in #nms-photomode-gallery ?

[raven rover]

Yes

Oh wait no

#nms-showcase-corvettes

[agile hamlet]

Thanks!

[hoary galleon]

So

I’m trying to make another car ship

And I’m taking inspiration of the AE86

What parts would be best to make the shape

[arctic elk]

I really need a small update to allow us to sleep in beds

[wraith quiver]

oh shit

[wraith quiver]

do takumi proud

[agile hamlet]

I wish that all of the corvette parts on the first tab, the essential parts, didn't count for the part count.

[novel knoll]

anyone tryna play?

[glass surge]

try #nms-lfg-or-trades

[hardy oracle]

Careful what you wish for. Down that path lies borg cubes made of azimuth and zenith reactors filling the anomaly 🙂

[agile hamlet]

If that is what it takes to be able to build better corvettes, I accept. 😎

[eager sky]

Maybe limit those to maybe 2x the max useful numbers, i.e. 6?

[glass arch]

Hello just came back to the game after a few months have they fixed the glitch with corvettes where furniture and storage was making em crash

[kind glacier]

never had this problem

[glass arch]

Whenever I had furniture or storage in my corvette it’d go out of control mid flight

Just curious if they’d addressed it and fixed it or not

[lusty light]

shoudl i be worrying about corvettes as a newer player, im talking less then 2 days of playtime still working on artemis quest line

[glass surge]

Corvette are good ships to use as mobile bases but they're not a requirement; if you're into min maxing stats etc they're definitely another area to do that in.

if you want to build one you can basically go to planets that say Salvageable Scrap in their resource list and dig up parts or use unit currency to buy basic parts at a space station.

There are some more methods pinned in this channel from 09-01-205 for corvette part gathering

Corvette are not a requirement in anyway for game completion or enjoyment; so if you want to enjoy the game first and then build a corvette then do that

[gritty frost]

What do yall think of my corvette

[fickle heath]

c u b e

[gritty frost]

That's the name of the ship lmao

[fickle heath]

i made a huge corvette, like some carrier

[gritty frost]

This thing is pretty big, it takes up the whole screen

[fickle heath]

with dark space mod, it makes everything dark in the photo mode

i just hope they will add more parts in future updates

[terse kestrel]

The mentality towards corvettes here on discord and on Reddit are so opposite. Why does it seem like such a large chunk of players just hate Corvettes....

[remote crypt]

No clue tbh, I love em

[terse kestrel]

Right? Like on my current run I'm 217 hours in and I've yet to build a big base anywhere.

Normally I have 3 or more by now. But with the Corvette I've gone full nomad

[fickle heath]

corvettes are great, like in starfield, only limit is the amount of different parts and ur imagination

[terse kestrel]

Nomad was always kind of possible with freighters. But you still needed a base. With corvettes it doesn't feel as necessary

[remote crypt]

Exactly, I'm an actual space gypsy now

[terse kestrel]

I think that's some part of it.

"I can't make one like they do so they suck"

[remote crypt]

Some might come from the ship hunters too

[terse kestrel]

Same mentality towards glitch builds all these years

True

Ship hunters are a dying breed nowadays

Hell I used to run a group of players who specialized in finding living ships of all types and giving them to other players

[remote crypt]

I can't not love that

[terse kestrel]

Was insanely popular for a while. Then it all just died as living ship interest went away

That's tight

[remote crypt]

I find myself just building ships sometimes, not even exploring

[terse kestrel]

"Hey....who put exploration in Kerbal 3?"

Me now ☝️

[fickle heath]

it doesnt even fit in my camera

Can we expect any increased difficulty limit on Xbox in the future ?

[terse kestrel]

If you want to make the game more difficult just customize the settings at the start of your game

Can make survival tougher through limited resources and you being weaker. More dangerous enemies etc

[terse kestrel]

What's it's maneuverability?

[remote crypt]

-4000

[terse kestrel]

😂

[terse kestrel]

There's some deeper physics behind Corvettes that don't seem to make total sense. Like they tried to include aerodynamic properties in the mechanics. But they're not logical

[fickle heath]

im using it to jump from system to system

[remote crypt]

My current main

Named it Star Laughter cause it looks like a face to me from the front

[terse kestrel]

This little pod racer is all I need

It's only got a half hab. But it's so easy just to swap out storage containers or wall machines when needed

[remote crypt]

Haven't tried a pod racer yet, took a shot at the Asp from E:D

[terse kestrel]

I used standing lamps to connect the body with the engines. Just connect them with scaffolding at first. Place your lights to stretch between engine and body so they're touching both. Then delete scaffolding

[terse kestrel]

It would be nice if we could use mining pipes. But they don't work on Corvettes

Here's a good idea for base builders

[fickle heath]

dark space is so much better than the vanilla multicolor eye blinding space

[terse kestrel]

It's basically just a hauler with all 10 storage units at easy access

C class. No Tech improvements. Just use to carry storage

I've always used a C class hauler for base parts. To call down wherever. But this is so much better

[glass surge]

the front face kind of reminds me of Squidward from Spongebob

[terse kestrel]

"corvettes are turning this into fortnite"

Best Reddit comment

[smoky flax]

That's a really good stat spread. You made a solid ship, balanced and capable. I did something very similar.

[fickle heath]

Transport DN6

[fickle heath]

nice

[terse kestrel]

Do you remember that supercharged slot bonuses are greater than adjacency bonuses. So if you need to break your adjacency chain to drop a mod into a supercharged slot you will still get higher stats

So if you are going for a Max distance warp ship it's fine spreading all your modules out amongst the supercharged slots. If you can't do it while also maintaining adjacency.

This goes for corvettes, ships, freighters, multi-tools and exosuits. Supercharged is always greater than adjacency

[fickle heath]

Type-1 Ship

[smoky flax]

I'm not sure if that is always the case as some tech don't seem to gain much from SC slots(starship shield modules and extra tech are generally a waste to supercharge but the main ship shield tech is worth super-charging) but generally speaking at least most of the time it is.

[terse kestrel]

Who cares about shields when you can melt pirates with a phase beam in half a second? 😂

Best defense is a good offense

[fickle heath]

Ohhh yeah that thing with 25k damage

[terse kestrel]

They're broken and I don't expect they will fix it.

If they fix phase beams for corvettes it will nerf the phase beams on every regular ship.

Unless they take away the regular one from Corvettes and give it its own under completely new parameters

[ancient rapids]

how do you get the corvette to an s-class? You just upgrade it with nanites?

[fickle heath]

yeah like classic ships, go to the station as usual

[smoky flax]

Yes.There is no other way that I am aware of.

[ancient rapids]

damn, thanks

[abstract crow]

If you have the mod that gets rid of the tech overload and have a bunch of habs, it'll come out as an S class as well. But that's through mods only, obviously.

[wraith quiver]

Studio ghibli x Star wars inspired. cant wait to make it look junky/lived in

[weak jacinth]

I want to learn how to make exposed areas you can walk in. I wanna build a pirate ship.... Eventually

[sleek oasis]

No they're not really broken, it's only because you can put multiple of them, a single phase beam, besides obliterating shields, are really weak in terms of dps, especially compared to the infra-knife

[wraith quiver]

Yeah i love those boat builds tbh. i made one for a buddy. Theyre not "my type" of ship but i love seeing them.

i wanted a small cozy outdoor area lol but i think i might change that window

gotta find a way to make a damn door..

[weak jacinth]

I use the basic guns on the starships to destroy shields, then 1 shot them with rocket pods. Gotta love it

[sleek oasis]

Carrier types are like the upgraded version of these lol

[weak jacinth]

🚪

[wraith quiver]

yeah seeeee i i just cant do the boats too well even the "carrier" type lol

[wraith quiver]

i miss doing this in my fighter lol rockets just look so off on corvettes rn

but yes that weapon switch and rocket one shot is oh so satisfying

[weak jacinth]

Oh! I forgot I was in the Corvette chat. I do that on my legacy ship... I usually only use my Corvette planet side so I can skydive to resources and dip quickly

[livid veldt]

Can this be made this tall without a mod? Can you construct that in the standard bay?

[abstract crow]

Probably not. Looks like 4x the height of a building.

In fact, I'd hazard a guess that they used the base builder. Looks taller than the station landing area.

[livid veldt]

Someone the other day when asked estimated it's prob under the max parts limits -- not sure about that.

[smoky flax]

Not sure but frankly building super tall corvettes just wouldn't work very well because you'd need a million stairs and moving around them would be a nightmare.

[abstract crow]

I mean, it could still be under 100 parts. Parts might've been scaled up dramatically as well. Either way, certainly a mod involved

[livid veldt]

Here's the reddit thread where I found it:

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1o6s4c4/the_orbiter_research_vessel/

[terse kestrel]

It looks insanely tall but it only looks to be about 8 chunks high.

Maybe 9. You can go that high in the station Corvette builder

And it looked like they used the settlement vertical build method. As well as the 90° rotational

And as long as the body and front fin wasn't completely full of connectors, scaffolding and other fillers it would still be under 100 by being mostly hollow. Except for the areas that they hang out in

[blissful gorge]

im still wondering if my corvette is spooky enough. my wife wasnt impressed and said "do a skull" lol

also i feel like having a bunch of floors and stairs in my interior would disqualify me from the interior one lol

[jagged wave]

I made a horizontal hab, any ideas on how to make them enterable?

[blissful gorge]

use hatches

or my favorite way, dont use habs for interior at all

[jagged wave]

Yeah but when I try it just doesn't work somehow

Im making a void in the middle of my ship to freely build but im also trying to make a box essentially

[blissful gorge]

normal direction hab -> hatch or stairs -> hatch or stairs -> other direction hab

you need a hatch or stairs to make a hole in a hab, basically

to the "outside"

lately i just forgo using habs altogether aside from placing stuff/scaffolding of course

[wraith quiver]

this is what ive started doing

[blissful gorge]

the cockpits and hatchess are always fully open, and you can just hide a hab in some deco pieces

[wraith quiver]

'its awesome you can free place the hab modules to make your own open area

[blissful gorge]

fuck yeah its so freeing 🙂

[wraith quiver]

and you can do it with stairs

instead of another "entryway?

"*

[blissful gorge]

my latest ship is full of metal floors and stairs lol

[wraith quiver]

Trying my best at freehand placemnt on my latest here

[jagged wave]

Could you record an example at all? 😭 im just not understanding

[trail hornet]

looks sick af man i love that

esp. the purple door

[blissful gorge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrbetZzNSZ0&t=995s

(again ignore clickbait title lol, its especially doesnt apply to what we are talking about)

[blissful gorge]

beautiful

[wraith quiver]

thanks man

[jagged wave]

I see

[wraith quiver]

working on interiors is so peaceful

[blissful gorge]

im not great at it, i can show you my best one

[trail hornet]

i've never even tried a good interior lol. i'm gonna try making a nice interior on my sf-zephyr later today once i get some free time

[wraith quiver]

im not goot at it either lol but its so fun

[blissful gorge]

i have a rig for floors that are almost perfectly equal size as habs

[trail hornet]

sf-zephyr in question

not too much room in there between storage and utilities

[wraith quiver]

niiice

[trail hornet]

basically i took the first part of the ferrari sf-25 f1 and then the first part of zephyr 1 from marvel and smushed them together for a name lol

[wraith quiver]

I can never come up with names.

I have one MourningBird and one MockingBird. Mockingbird is just a smaller sleeker Mourningbird lol

[trail hornet]

i usually use zephyr in most my ship names and then add parts of the base generated name after

[shadow crown]

I want to do a sleek three prong design for my next one. I've seen people have disconnected pieces which don't cause issue, anyone know how that's done?

[trail hornet]

i got the zephyr liberator, sf-zephyr, zephyr 1, and XI-zephyr. i'm def missing one lol

[wraith quiver]

Theres lots of different ways apparently. some people use "entryways" to connect peices since it counts as "connected" if another part is in range of the entryway ramp, even without it open.

i think some people use like decorations ersumshit but idk how that works

[wraith quiver]

I dig that name

people come up with such good ones

[trail hornet]

i'm honestly thinking of making a Zephyr Ultimate at some point

ohh my other ship is the zephyr elite

thats right

[shadow crown]

Interesting

Yeah, my first build is entirely glitchless, figure I might spice it up a tad for the second

[trail hornet]

my first build was a brick 😭

then again it was before i knew the wing pieces or the entire second tab existed

[shadow crown]

I actually want to do a brick for one

[trail hornet]

plus survival

[shadow crown]

I really enjoy the ship designs from the game X3

Some very much embrace the lack of aerodynamics in space and they're fun

[trail hornet]

i have a very specific style for my corvettes that you can see in almost all my builds lol

[shadow crown]

Alas, that game does actually care about turret placement and stuff, so it has more depth in that regard

[blissful gorge]

hell yeah

[shadow crown]

I'm on mobile so no ss of my current build, but I also play with costs on

Difficulty locked, too, so no nonsense 😂

[trail hornet]

i build in creative then transfer them to my main save if i like it enough

my sf-zephyr is literally a beast when it comes to weapons

it shoots like a minigun dude

[shadow crown]

I just use phase beams on mine, I forget what dmg ticks are but the heat bar doesn't even move so uhh

Not optimized, still melted a carrier

[trail hornet]

yeah my heat bar goes up suuuper slow and it can fire for a solid 50 seconds

[trail hornet]

i've torn apart about an entire fleet of pirate ships in seconds

[shadow crown]

I just wish the torpedoes were a rocket pod buff, not cyclotron

[shadow crown]

I was trying to force a carrier because I wanted to check sentinel ship w.o wasting echo locator and ended up fighting 50ish interceptors

[trail hornet]

dayum

[shadow crown]

For some reason shooting the station put me on level 4 but they kept respawning lmao

Had to fly away for it to actually clear and up to 5

[trail hornet]

huh weird lol

[shadow crown]

Never seen that issue in air before, though I've noticed dissonant planets in mp are... scuffed

[trail hornet]

yeesh

[jagged wave]

The constant crashing while I'm building is killing my soul 😭

[blissful gorge]

steady progress, now for interior and paint. interior stairs/flooring is already set up

[fickle heath]

we gotta get a corvette market in NMS asap, sell corvette for Units, perhaps get rich

[fickle heath]

looks good

[still edge]

Does the corvette look clean

[blissful gorge]

doesnt look dirty. a bit bumpy i guess

[cosmic ivy]

A lil chunky but not bad

[still edge]

Yea I've been trying to figure out how to make it look more streamline

Any pieces I should use?

[blissful gorge]

i love that landing gear, maybe put pieces they clip into, like a wingy bit?

i dont think having the engines on sticks looks "streamlined" if thats the keyword you want to evoke. i like to take the titan engine and place it inside my ship

[still edge]

Ooh thx

[wraith quiver]

these bits here seem to fit them snug

[still edge]

I'll try to get another titan engine bc I only have one

[wraith quiver]

i think the thrusters themselves only go out about half a pad, so you can space it so it has room to freely move if the clipping bothers you

[blissful gorge]

so obviously i have used some glitches here to change part orientations, but see how i surrounded a titan engine with shit?

you will get that annoying "sprue" but you can cover it up better than i did here

[still edge]

Ohh I see I'll try that next time thx

[wraith quiver]

ah so thats glitch not mods? i have much to learn lol

[still edge]

Oh btw is there a way to get a better chance at getting a titan engine? I've been getting pretty unlucky with mine

[fickle heath]

@chilly valve

[wraith quiver]

thats sick

[blissful gorge]

are you farming with a corvette? its the fastest way, set autopilot and scan, then when u see one mark it and fire with corvette guns at ground

u can see i set up the landing gear to clip into the wings when they retract. one of the thrusters is kind of the thruster for theshuttles on the wings

[still edge]

Got it ty

[blissful gorge]

with the gear up

[still edge]

Putting those reactors on the engine looks so good I should def try it

[blissful gorge]

im at the point now where every build i do has reactors on the engine lol

[still edge]

Lol idk if I'll like it but I'll try to put wings on my corvette if it looks better thx

[blissful gorge]

you can also enable creative mode to build without part restrictions. but i know not everyone wants to play this way. It was really important to me to build my first few corvettes by farming parts, but now that i have like 7 or 8 of them i just turn on creative

oh im not saying put wings per se i just think those landing gear look more "streamlined" if they kind of clip into something on the side

[still edge]

Alr ty

[fickle heath]

entrence is on top

[sleek oasis]

I really want to remake this but idk if its possible

[blissful gorge]

@wraith quiver how did i do? seems kind of sterile but its better than bare. Im proud of the snacks on the table

[remote crypt]

You'd be able to get the shape with tricks, the cockpit is problematic if you wanted the windows

[blissful gorge]

it is surely possible but it would be hard to get the scale right. a 2x scale one would be pretty straightforward

[livid veldt]

So someone was saying rotating the window in free placement is how you get parts vertically oriented. But, the window rotation axis can't be changed - it only rotates in the axis as if you are standing in front of a record player and rotate on that axis. So how do you rotate in a different orientation, to get something vertical like this?

[blissful gorge]

theres better starwars art, not to mention movies... lol

[blissful gorge]

using base computer is best way, use wires and wire glitch to get the orientation you want then transfer parts to corvette

[wraith quiver]

wtf thats so nice lol

[livid veldt]

It's a cool ship tho

[wraith quiver]

table snacks are super dope

[blissful gorge]

i spent like an hour putting the snacks in the bowl lol. so thanks that means a lot to me 😄

ofc i found a way easier way i could have done it after i had already finished

[wraith quiver]

usually how that works lol did you use the wire glitch to make those so tiny?

[blissful gorge]

yep! like literally made a wire for each one. then i found out i could use the "cache" glitch, copy an already resized item, then wireglitch them freehand into place and they would keep that small scale

[chilly valve]

yeah thats really nice they could be siblings

[blissful gorge]

damn that looks a bit out of the 100 part/size limits

[chilly valve]

its bigger then a frigate

[wraith quiver]

lmfao that is MASSIVE lol

[chilly valve]

yeah its absurd

[blissful gorge]

you could probably just cut down the repeated parts and it would look/function fine for the anomaly

[chilly valve]

oh , this was intentional

its the length of a station lol

[blissful gorge]

thanks for posting that rofl

i like what you did with the speedbird cowling

[chilly valve]

the um , thingies stickin out?

[blissful gorge]

ye the thingies sticking out of the thingy

[chilly valve]

ya , they each have a turret on them

[trail hornet]

THEY ROTATE???

the landing thrusters???

never knew that

[blissful gorge]

i know right? when i first found out i was so happy. they look so ugly in the build menu on their own

[livid veldt]

For my desired usage, I wish they didn't.

honestly thats fair

[shadow crown]

Which guns does it not work with btw

Is it just phase beam?

[blissful gorge]

probably, i think the rest do aoe damage

[fickle heath]

looks great

[blissful gorge]

but idk for sure

[fickle heath]

my next project is to try to make this ship from elite dangerous

large n thick

[trail hornet]

that looks SICK

[fickle heath]

thats gonna take me another 2-3 hours probably

[sleek oasis]

Those arms could be 3 wide instead

Also, anyone got a vid on how to turn parts vertically?

[fickle heath]

i took different carrier ships from Elite dangerous and made a mix in nms

[shadow crown]

Would an unmodded photon do it lmao. Don't remember if I have tech slots to spare

[blissful gorge]

i know that pain lol. but again im not sure personally, i used infraknife

[neon frost]

Amazing ship, top

[sleek oasis]

Yes, and depending on how many planets you'll use, they could be 3

[fickle heath]

unless i flip somehow the base part

[sleek oasis]

You don't need to use habs or walkways

[fickle heath]

i use this

[sleek oasis]

You could use an upside down engine cover/domed/swept casing for the yellow part

Where the corners are outwards instead of against other parts so it's square

like this, that way you're saving space

• they're half a block wide

[tight agate]

How would I rotate a wedge to go on a side?

trying to get this sideways

[blissful gorge]

glitches using a base computer

[trail hornet]

sideways on the x axis or y axis?

[tight agate]

Tried that

[chilly valve]

alright now that im comfortable abusing the size limit ...lets build something insane

[blissful gorge]

habs are boring

[wraith quiver]

i wish they made eachvariant look a bit different outside as well

[sleek oasis]

I disagree, because of that you would need to choose between a certain hab for the interior look while also thinking about what its gonna look from outside

[wraith quiver]

i could see that being a double edged sword

[trail hornet]

imagine there being a single hav which you could select which style you want even after placing it

idk i'd like that

[sleek oasis]

the first thing they need to bring is an actual color customization pallet, and not fixed pallets of colors

[wraith quiver]

like similar to where the "rust/chrome" paint options are. be cool to choose the interior or exterior style there

[fickle heath]

nms got the corvette idea from Starfield ship build system, they will probably add more parts in the future update, since people like it, i guess

[wraith quiver]

and yeah color pallete is a must. we have it on che appearance creator, but eh

some things bug me when you color them. i didnt want my autophage head color to HAVE to match my hood color lol

[trail hornet]

i want the same level of color options we have for our characters

[sleek oasis]

at the bare minimum

[trail hornet]

for real

[terse kestrel]

I think we've seen enough from HG over the years that we know these systems always come out half done.

And a lot of the stuff they're putting in the game now is stuff that they are going to be building in their new game light no fire.

If anything we are the guinea pigs. Trying out their new ship building system. So that they can roll it out in their next game.....polished.

[blissful gorge]

It can be a really nice thing, they have a budget beyond what this game would have normally

[terse kestrel]

I can't wait for it to drop. I haven't bought a game on day one and over a decade. But I'm getting that

[blissful gorge]

i know mw5 got an AMAZING dlc recently because the studio already put in the work for another game, for example

[terse kestrel]

Many people always say that HG doesn't work on anything after they put it in the game. Meanwhile most the stuff we do is an improved form of the way we used to do it.

Going back to legacy building would break so many people 😂

Simple solution for the Corvette ladder. Just putting those barricades on either side improves its stability a lot. While putting a hard point on it that causes you to fall through the floor from above way less

I also stopped getting launched out of my ship during pulse drive while changing floors. Since doing it.

[shadow crown]

I don't have the barricades

[blissful gorge]

meanwhile im over here trying to figure out where i can hide 1 walkway on my build without it sticking out.

[terse kestrel]

What build?

[blissful gorge]

this one

[terse kestrel]

Can't hide it in its tail?

[blissful gorge]

i actually found a place just above the cockpit behind the big antenna

working on making the right snap point for it

it hides some panel gaps 🙂

[terse kestrel]

Portal coordinates to one of the most lit up space stations I've found.

It's so easy to see your Corvette in this station. Better than any other I've seen

[trail hornet]

isnt this a repost

[terse kestrel]

Yeah and his dark-ass space station made me repost it 😂

[trail hornet]

fair

[terse kestrel]

They can leave the rest of the space station alone. But they seriously need to improve the lighting of the Corvette areas. Some of them are almost impossible to build in

And never mind what some of the area colors do to your Corvette colors while trying to design it

[blissful gorge]

imagine being dumb enough to say something thats already been said yikes

this is supposed to be a pirate ship if i dont design it in the dark, ill not have the right emotions in my creativity

if it makes you feel better @terse kestrel a lot of the heavy lifting happens here

its just a little messy 😛

all my source art is dark too

[terse kestrel]

Proper building is always a little messy.....

Show me floating floor panels everywhere and I'll show you somebody who's about to pull off a sick build.....

[violet swallow]

Looks like you pulled it out of WH40K

[blissful gorge]

i am really happy with it, i love using the corvette pieces to make complex shapes without doing weird rotations. you will notice ive branched into 45 degrees though

for the fins and stuff. oh and i did a curved placement of vents on the top

[blissful gorge]

i do love the kind of steampunkness of the atlantid parts

[trail hornet]

someone give me some simple corvette inspo pls 😭

uhhhh

wtf

[violet swallow]

Go to #nms-showcase-corvettes

There are LOTS of screenshots of corvettes (you can also go to reddit too)

[trail hornet]

alright

[trail hornet]

looks cool

[chilly valve]

its so glorious 😭

[hollow marten]

Whoa, how much time did it take to build that?

[blissful gorge]

many hours over the past 2 weeks and im not done

[hollow marten]

Impressive 👏

[shadow crown]

no glitches or anything here, just some minor overlaps and random shit

[trail hornet]

looks sick!! ty for the ideas lol

i've got artist block but for corvettes so these are helping me out a bunch

[shadow crown]

Also, checked: pirates die in two ticks of the phase beam (one is a full shield removal, 10k~ damage [im on normal], second is like 7k or whatever to hull)

That's a rear angled shot as well

[trail hornet]

this is what i came up with for today, i just wish i had a better way to hide the guns

[trail hornet]

looks fire 🫡

[shadow crown]

I actually like guns being visible

but I'm used to games where turrets are actually turrets and that's where the shots come from, so blindspots exist, etc. etc.

[trail hornet]

i feel like it'd be more smooth upfront if i had a better place to put them

[shadow crown]

so it doesn't work in this exact case w/ anything but torpedoes (removed as well because they're not a rocket boost so they're tech slot waste) but

something like this might work for you

Basically having a cutaway

[trail hornet]

ooo i like that

i'll try that later when i'm on another break

[gritty frost]

Looks like a gila from eve

[trail hornet]

because it is lol

lol

[gritty frost]

When I multi boxed in eve I used to run 20 of them

• a loki

[trail hornet]

no idea what that is

[gritty frost]

I played 25 accounts at the same time

One man wrecking crew.

[blissful gorge]

do you like my phantasm?

[summer olive]

wait a minutte, WHAT DO THEY MEAN LEGACY SHIPS!?

[trail hornet]

non-corvette ships i'd assume

[summer olive]

ik but calling them legacy ships just feels wrong

[trail hornet]

well they're not new ships ig

[summer olive]

i guess

[hoary agate]

If u can get better name u can sugget it to mods 😉

[terse kestrel]

Legacy ships are ships that were available before living ships

From the before fore times.

One of the biggest casualties of shipbuilding has been the absolute destruction of the ship Hunter coordinate exchange community

They still exist. But back in the day they were the only way to get the ship you truly wanted. Without endless hunting yourself

[hoary agate]

Wild ships at least get the autenticated label

[chilly valve]

its so big its pokin the other dudes ship 😄

[smoky flax]

No, actual legacy ships are from long before living ships, they are ships from before ships had stats, all ships were the same and purely a cosmetic choice and you could only own one ship. But I think the way the admins of this discord use the term "legacy ships" is meaning "not corvettes". Which I think is a very poor way to put it because non-corvettes are not obsolete...not by a long shot.

[hoary agate]

Aaaaaaaand his game crashed trying to load all your corvette parts xd

[terse kestrel]

I tried getting in one of my old exotics. It just felt so...... Limiting? If that's the right word

Having such easy access to storage, refiners, kitchen and missions is a completely different game.

People say they like the quick entry and exits of regular ships. But you can pretty much replicate that with Corvettes. Especially if you put your exit ramp under your cockpit.

You can just beam down to the planet by looking at the floor

[hoary agate]

Yeah . It breaks existing game loops and progress paths

[terse kestrel]

Right. Like you have all these options at your disposal and you have to choose not to use them to enjoy the old ways.

I mean I kind of get that. But I don't

[agile hamlet]

Imagine having to go through your ship just to get into the other one. 🤣

[smoky flax]

Corvettes have their own limitations. Their max damage bonus is only 30%, and they are difficult to land...usually not a problem as long as you don't wonder far from the ship...just leave it hovering and return. But if you get far away from the ship exploring a planet you may end up having to walk back to it for half an hour or an hour or whatever because the terrain doesn't have a large enough clearing to land it. And if you teleport to a base or settlement the corvette can end up glitch landed in all sorts of weird stuff like in buildings an whatever and good luck finding a spot it feel comfortable landing on to move it.

[shadow crown]

There's also the bug with first person combat in them

[hoary agate]

Imo corvettes should be unlocked at least in mid game. By some sidequest. Like the expanding base quest unlocks more base stuff after u learned the basics. So player will learn all the basic ship stuff first

[smoky flax]

No idea what you mean with this. You can always call your freighter in orbit and instantly have access to all your storage containers without even having to fly up and board the thing. Much faster storage access than boarding your ship, walking to the container, etc. And you can always call your colossus to you if you have the right bit of exosuit tech installed for instant access to a large 3 slot refiner if you installed it on the colossus.

If you think the corvette gives you fast and easy access to your storage and a large refiner then you have no idea what easy access to your storage and a large refiner is. There are vastly faster and easier ways to access your storage and a large refiner than what the corvette offers you.

[agile hamlet]

I agree. 🔥

[vestal kelp]

I saw someone with a Star destroyer in the Nexus, absolutely crazy build

[agile hamlet]

Unlock autophage to get the corvette option.

[real elm]

Tbh, when I first acquired my freighter, I assumed it had at least SOME limitations in how you could deploy it, given it has jump range and other stats.
Nope, just summon it wherever at no cost, mobile base

Freighters are a bit too cheap and make planetside based pointless

[hoary agate]

Autophages could be little late. Bc u already need to finish the artemis path for it

[agile hamlet]

You could have an animation where you put your autophage staff into the corvette builder to use it.

[shadow crown]

What do autophages have to do with corvettes, though

Do the autophage even acknowledge having their own starships?

[agile hamlet]

Nothing. Just locks it until later

[shadow crown]

Right, but that's just a nonsense limitation then

[agile hamlet]

I can be random, too. 😎

[shadow crown]

It'd make far more sense to have some connection

Like getting permission from factions to use these or something

because the corvettes are bigger and take up space on their stations, or something 🤷‍♂️

[hoary agate]

Imo just make sidequest for corvettes somwhere in the middle of artemis path. After player learns all the basics

[agile hamlet]

Get all words for the three original species?

[smoky flax]

It does have some limitations but none you can't overcome with the correct tech. You have to install the system drives to call it in all the various star types...green, red, blue, and purple star systems. And you need the inventory teleport tech installed in it.

[agile hamlet]

Gotcha. 😃

[shadow crown]

That'd be even later than autophages lmao

[agile hamlet]

True. 😎

[real elm]

I guess it would make some lore sense if the corvettes required the knowledge of building your own stuff that the Autophage have, since they are all about self-assembly

[shadow crown]

Yes, they're connected insofar as the autophage are "self sufficient", but I don't think you need to talk to robots to learn how to assemble A+B when you already do that with bases and the like

If autophages used starships (at least visibly, in some way) or had larger buildings, sure... but corvettes don't even have autophage/salvaged aesthetics

[real elm]

It should come after the base building tutorials, then

[shadow crown]

That's a complaint someone had earlier: corvettes don't really have a lot of exterior aesthetic variety (outside of paint)

[real elm]

I had a corvette and a mobile base inside it before laying down a shitshack on a random planet from the tutorial

The progression is whack.
Starship -> corvette -> freighter -> base -> oddessey was my progression order

[shadow crown]

I mean part of that is that bases... have no purpose? Not really, anyhow

I got my freighter quite early, and didn't even build on it, but the bases I built early were literally nothing more than a waypoint to return to a planet

[real elm]

They have a couple unique functions I don’t see much value in, like animal ranching ingredients

Exosuits are hot garbage imo

[shadow crown]

exocraft

They're useful, mostly, for the radars

or fooling around on extreme worlds

[real elm]

Yes, that

The radar scanning can be useful, but the extreme world thing I’ve never had trouble with with 2x toxic/rad/cold mods

[agile hamlet]

I'd love a frigate mission/settlement desk corvette part

[finite vessel]

I say, is there any way to merge the interior of the corvette to make one large room?

[terse kestrel]

I think the pathway to an A or S class freighter with full storage and the ability to call down items from any planet is a moot point..... Simply because the pathway to a functional Corvette is much easier to obtain earlier in the game.

On my current run I've yet to build a big base and my freighter is just used for frigate missions and a couple other things. But most playthroughs by now I'd have fully fleshed out bases and a fully decked out freighter.

[shadow crown]

Hmh, finding so many people showing videos of glitch building for floating / detached parts, but only one written guide that has any actual info

and the written guy uses a different method

[terse kestrel]

As it stands now my freighter feels more like a chore then something I want to work on.....just to do much of what the Corvette already does for me.

[smoky flax]

No. Not at all. If you install the 10 storage containers on the lousiest of C class freighters and you call it to you then you have access to all that storage(10x50 slots, with double capacity for plenty of items). You do not actually need a great freighter. For the storage of the freighter itself you don't even have to call it to you...it can be in another galaxy and you can always access that to put things in or take out from any distance.

[terse kestrel]

Combine this with the exosuit Tech to summon exocraft anywhere and I feel even less need for a freighter

[blissful gorge]

i mean freighter is for wifi cargo containers. also dont you need the exocraft freighter tech too? or is it redundant

i am kind of proud of my solution to floating buttons with habless construction 🙂

by freighter tech i mean room

[smoky flax]

The tech to call your exocraft in your suit can be redundant if your freighter lets you call your exocraft and you can always call your freighter but I consider it convenience and insurance. Conveninece because I don't want to have to call my freighter to call an exocraft and insurance because if the tech to call exocraft in my suit breaks I can then call my freighter to call my exocraft.

[blissful gorge]

im a relatively new player and i thought you needed freighter room AND suit tech lol. cool that you dont need both

the suit tech is therefore strictly better

[smoky flax]

Yes.

[blissful gorge]

i like not having to call my freighter. the feel of just having a corvette is cool. i stopped putting cargos on my corvettes though, especially since ive developed an aversion to habs. I just call the freighter when i need cargo

is there a way to screenshot a corvette firing its weapons?

specifically the phase beam

wow it actually gave me a non shitty icon

[real elm]

Freighter does offer the unique ability to access items anywhere in the system, and huge planting plots, refinery arrays, storage containers, while requiring you to not build a massive corvette

[shadow crown]

Too bad the refiners are buggy

[real elm]

That does suck, yes, you can’t warp or portal without them emptying themselves

[blissful gorge]

since the stations are so dim anyway and its all about showing off in the anom i guess grey will work for color (lol u can see my pet pineapple)

[fair pilot]

That's almost biblically accurate Phantasm, man

[uneven aurora]

This is what a bit of creativity can get you on a corvette, the concept of this is two archeologists left their settlment and put all they had in a corvette to keep doing what they loved (thats why on the left side of the corvette theres digging stuff, the inside is decorated to match the vibe as well)

[blissful gorge]

thanks that means a lot ❤️

[blissful gorge]

thats really fun! i particularly like the use of the radar dome as a veranda/shade, or at least thats what it looks like

[uneven aurora]

not really lol just placed it cus i could put a lot of stuf on it

theres a compact transmitter cliped inside of it and painted the same colout

i got really creative here compared to my usual

heres some close ups of some details

to makie the hanging sign i put two hanging lights haning from the double shade thingy (i do it a lot on my builds cus i like the aesthetics of it) and then put two more lights perpendicular to it

[regal ingot]

Eve?

Is that you?

[fair pilot]

I want to build a sleek as hell corvette, that will not be 90% exterior. But afraid it will be hard as hell. Yet I'm very in awe of the Ark.

[wraith quiver]

i have to challenge myself to do that without making a "jet" every time

[fair pilot]

I either will go for "bus sentinel" on a larger scale, or something like my star trek ship (not enterprises, look for Alameda class)

[abstract crow]

I can't do sleek without big and complex

[blissful gorge]

yes it is

[chilly valve]

engine room

cargo bay

[trail hornet]

dude that is incredible

[chilly valve]

its staggering how big this ship is

i had to put some big rooms in 😄

[agile hamlet]

Where's the ballroom? 😃

[chilly valve]

damn you know what , i should put one on it

[agile hamlet]

Sweet!

[chilly valve]

It’s got the space

[agile hamlet]

You could put some of the shield balls in the ceiling of the ballroom.

[fervent sail]

Just make sure there aren't any girls in the corner. They'll probably warn you that it will turn into a ballroom blitz. 😄

[agile hamlet]

We're not worthy. 🤣

[fervent sail]

Of what? 😆

[agile hamlet]

I thought that you were making a Wayne's World reference. 😎

[fervent sail]

It's a song reference. There's actually a song called Ballroom Blitz

[agile hamlet]

Ballroom blitz is on the Wayne's world soundtrack

[fervent sail]

Oh. Whoops 🤣

[agile hamlet]

I have the CD. 🤣

[fervent sail]

I knew the song, but didn't know who made it, so that name was not familiar to me.

[agile hamlet]

It's older than the movie by at least a decade

[chilly valve]

<--- genuinely over here trying to figure out how to fit a ballroom in

[agile hamlet]

I can't imagine building what you did, then trying to modify it.
I'd want tools to build subsections that could be moved as one part, to do that.

[chilly valve]

so like , my theorum behind that is i make small edits at a time , if i dont like it i can simply leave the editor and start a new edit

but yeah , its like surgery lol

[agile hamlet]

Doctor Gekscobar is in. 😎

[chilly valve]

so like ive created an open rooftop space here

all i need to do now is exit the editor and add base glass floors for windows

[agile hamlet]

Do you put beatboxes into your ship?

[chilly valve]

no but i should

[torpid badge]

i need help to know how to make a certain ship, i don't know how the funky glitches work, i tried to make it but its pretty mid... i've seen some crazy things looking better than what i did and closer to what i wanted... i can't make the nose pointy

[chilly valve]

whats the ship?

[torpid badge]

This

might be a bit too complex for the corvette editor lol, but i've seen people making the milano from the guardians of the galaxy or star wars ships

[hardy oracle]

That looks like a single-seater fighter ship rather than a corvette. So whatever you end up with would inevitably be far larger than your inspiration. but I don't see any reason you couldn't do that general shape. You're going to have to make some sacrifices regarding the thickness of the fins though. That or use decor pieces that doesn't quite match the hull in shape and texture.

[chilly valve]

there , it has a windowed ballroom now

[shadow crown]

Does anyone have a link to a thorough explanation on the building-things-detached stuff? Trying to sort something out, can't quite get it to work consistently though.

[chilly valve]

things you want to be detached can only be 1 "block" away

[shadow crown]

That isn't even being consistent

Also, given that I've seen at least 3 different ways to do it, I have no idea which one is actually "best"

[blissful gorge]

theres no 1 way because each piece has its own collision. one popular trick is to use a hatch which has a long collision volume bigger than its appearance, for the purposes of attached

@wraith quiver thoughts on my interior?

[shadow crown]

Hatch? the Small Vent?

[blissful gorge]

titan hatch and amabassador hatch

[shadow crown]

Don't those look stupid when you land though

[blissful gorge]

if by looking stupid you mean open up lol

[shadow crown]

Right, and if you're rotating them to have them "face" your detached pieces

you'd have a bunch of random holes with ramps opening up, no?

[blissful gorge]

i bet you could use a teleporter wire or something like that to make things "attached" but i havent tried it

i mean yeah, a piece will look like itself 🤷 maybe i dont understand the problem, sorry for not being helpful :/

[shadow crown]

I mean it doesn't sound visually appealing to have random ramps sticking out at angles when you land, lol

Guess I'll stick with scuffed things

[agile hamlet]

Very nice! It could be used as an observatory, too. 😎

[blissful gorge]

cool simple corvette i saw in the anom

[shadow crown]

space taxi

[agile hamlet]

Nice view! 😎♥️🔥

[wraith quiver]

damn that ceiling looks high

looks roomy i like it

[blissful gorge]

Yep! My first time with such a tall interior space. Used a glass floor for a stair landing to make it seem bigger

The ambassador cockpit doesn't match the rest of the room though. An inside look vs outside look problem

[wraith quiver]

yeah but its great for VR

[agile hamlet]

I love the departure viewing chamber and the trench to get on

[tardy tangle]

I need that build....a space taxi service would be fun

[livid veldt]

Cannot get this to work, the window glitch for vertical habs

The guide I used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfdj2-5yq_s

[blissful gorge]

There was a Thunderbird cockpit hidden under the front pieces and they used decorative panels under it

[livid veldt]

But I really want the vertical part shown in the YT thumbnail rotated 90 degrees around the long axis, so I can use the exterior decor panels like a blade, like that vertical corvette I've been talking about all day

[blissful gorge]

Beeblebum has videos on how to use base computer to do that

You can rotate things any direction.

[tardy tangle]

Ragh-....do you know what exact parts it had?

[blissful gorge]

If you can't tell from the screenshot, I'll try mocking it up here in a few minutes

[tardy tangle]

Think i see vesper diffusers?

Idk what else

[blissful gorge]

Looks glitch less to me but I'd have to try it myself

The rounded sides I think are called speed bird nacelles

4 on each side

Oh he had a Thunderbird hatch to get in lol, not my favorite way to get in/out of a Corvette

[shadow crown]

God I wish corvette parts didnt flood your exosuit inventory and instead went back into the storage on stations

[blissful gorge]

ping me tomorrow if i dont ping u back, dont have time to try building it tonight but im interested in the project 🙂

[abstract crow]

Hmm... Interesting bug. I call in my cruiser/corvette and it won't let me sit in the cockpit. Also has a different ship name for some reason. But if I call it in again, everything works.

[trail hornet]

any ideas on how to fill this gap? i might just redo the back atp

[shadow crown]

I don't think there's anything that naturally connects those two, at least cleanly

Depends on what will happen above the rear angled piece I think

As in, one layer up

Maybe a dome piece, or even a reversed wing / aerofoil piece?

[trail hornet]

i'll try!

[cursive lark]

I think the super cruise aerofoil might work

[glass surge]

Argonaut winglet, arcadia stabliiser, arcadia blade, and Hardframe diffuser could go there depending upon they look

[trail hornet]

looks a bit off

same for the argonaut winglet

[cursive lark]

Really anything will but I think that's the best you'll get

Maybe one of the Arcadia blade things

[trail hornet]

arcadia stabilizer sticks out about exactly a half block too far so i'ma do some glitching to make it work

[hardy harbor]

offset by a half?

[trail hornet]

like half a walkway

[hardy harbor]

corvette as a support vehicle >.>

Pretty much using it as mobile refuel\storage base <.<

[terse kestrel]

Hull linkage

Would work perfect for that corner

Also you can remove the hatch, place a hab and put something on top of it.

Then delete the hab and replace the hatch. This bypasses you not being allowed to connect anything to the top of the hatch ramp

[trail hornet]

ummm

help

[terse kestrel]

What's wrong?

[trail hornet]

glitched a trim under the floor

[terse kestrel]

Wait....wtf did you do?

[trail hornet]

can't delete

idk how

[terse kestrel]

Place a hab next to it

[trail hornet]

like where

[terse kestrel]

Should connect to the side of it and pop up

Then delete the hab

[trail hornet]

i can't place anything next to it

oh nvm fixed it

[terse kestrel]

Take off and land again

[trail hornet]

it was flipped bec of an upsidedown wedge

[terse kestrel]

It usually makes your lowest part your bottom. Might expose it

Then you could delete

[trail hornet]

wait so we can have landing pads up via that logic?

[terse kestrel]

Yeah I have one ship with a hab under the landing gear

It lands on the hab

[trail hornet]

damn

[hearty rivet]

how do you rotate corvette parts?

the one i want to is facing the wrong way

like opposite

[terse kestrel]

Are you trying to turn it around or do a 90 degree turn?

[hearty rivet]

its the cockpit

facing the direct opposite way i want it to

i dunno how to rotate it

[terse kestrel]

1 half hab on top of another

Save build

Open on foot build menu and place a ladder in the bottom hab

Go back to Corvette build menu. You can now spin the bottom hab.

Cockpits and all other parts will now flip the opposite way

[hearty rivet]

i dont want all the parts to flip tho

[terse kestrel]

You can just place the part you want, delete that hab and continue building the normal way after

It just gives you a temp backwards hab to build off of

It won't permanently change all part orientations

[tardy tangle]

Mkay

[blazing pelican]

pulling up to my settlement thats 2 million credits in debt in my 2 billion dollar war machine

[terse kestrel]

No Mans Saudi Prince

They can eat Facieum 🤷

[chilly valve]

hey question because i see everybody using that panel to detail their ships , they dont clip together are people just painfully lining each one up?

[blazing pelican]

it was indeed incredibly painful lining them up 😭

[chilly valve]

good lord

yeah im not that patient

[blazing pelican]

especially getting the first one aligned with the nose

[soft fulcrum]

so like is this a half decent corvette or complete garbo

[chilly valve]

well cuz ive seen some really large ones with that paneling so i wondered if people had a snapping trick for it

[chilly valve]

do you think its a half decent corvette?

[blazing pelican]

looks like some genius living on a trash planet slapped it together in a good way

[soft fulcrum]

i think it looks pretty amazing but i wanted to get others opinions on it considering ive seen some amazing vettes here

i like that resolve honestly i think i might incorporate that into its lore

[chilly valve]

i mean if you think its awesome tthen thats all that really matters , my personal opinion is that theres quite a bit i would change about it but my opinion is irrelevant 🙂

[blazing pelican]

theres little markings that you can align but its still a pain in the ass

[soft fulcrum]

well i mean hey constructive criticism im happy to hear it if your willing to offer some advice

i like just started playing so

[soft fulcrum]

any criticism is a good thing to me fr

[chilly valve]

oh absolutely i would be most happy too , i just want to avoid upsetting anybody i think all designs are awesome 🙂

[soft fulcrum]

awwww

nah nah its okay dw man im happy your considerate of others emotions though 🙂

[chilly valve]

uh so personally your cockpit choice and placement im hugely not a fan of

the underbelly is flat , its a comment i make in one of my ship building guide videos , i always tell people whatever you do to the top , you should replicate on the belly , it gives it a real "ship" feel

and finally the windows just kinda seem ...all over the place , build dedicated viewing areas and fit them into nice sections of plating , it really comes out nice that way

having an idea of the style you want as well really helps you to create that shape

[soft fulcrum]

yeah thats kinda the issue with how i went about it i kinda just slapped it together haha im gonna see if maybe i can recreate it or improve it better

initially i was kinda just testing my limits on size so thats kinda what i ended up with

[chilly valve]

honestly you obviously have a good selection of parts i would just start over with an actual plan , also "slapping it together" isnt always bad

like this was just "slapped together" i hated it but its not a bad design

[soft fulcrum]

okay my guy ill see what i can do ill probably try it again tomorrow as to its a bit late where im at rn ill keep you posted if you wish

that thing looks absolutely crazy

[chilly valve]

its awful lol

[soft fulcrum]

it almost gives the subnautica aurora build almost

nah man that honestly looks amazing i must say like thats an insane amount of creativity if you call that awful i wouldnt wanna know what youd call mine haha

[chilly valve]

Eh it really depends, I’m quite happy with today’s build this things a monster

[soft fulcrum]

broooooo

that thing looks absolutely crazyyyyy holy

howd you even get it that big if you dont mind me asking

[chilly valve]

mods

[soft fulcrum]

that makes mine look small asl

which ones?

colossal vettes and no part limit?

[chilly valve]

uh yeah and exosolars base building mod so i could do shit like this

[soft fulcrum]

oh

my

god

how

ive been wondering how to do multi levels omg

[chilly valve]

its a gallery on the upper deck

[soft fulcrum]

that is honestly baffling to me

[chilly valve]

also a cargo bay and an engine room

[soft fulcrum]

there really is no limits to the potential this game holds

im genuinely flabberghasted by this honestly

i have a lot to learn

[chilly valve]

check out sorri silver on YT i have 5 corvette building videos you can view if you'd like

on how i get like really nice smooth shapes or big internal rooms like that

[soft fulcrum]

alright bet ill be sure to check you out, hell ill even sub honestly cause you seem like a truely good dude and thats a dying art nowadays

[chilly valve]

lol you dont need to sub i really dont mind im just happy to help people build cool shit

[soft fulcrum]

hey man it might be irrelevant but any way i can support someone doing good i will do anything to make that happen

[cobalt flame]

Did I overdo it with the deco? 🤔

[past berry]

No such thing. 😂

[late current]

this reminds me of some book or story i read but i cant remember what

[cobalt flame]

That's what I thought while putting stuff on it, but now I'm getting second thoughts... okay, it's a scrapper, but sometimes less is more....

[past berry]

Do what feels right. You will know when you're done. 👍

[cobalt flame]

lol, I'll probably never be done with this build 😂

[blissful gorge]

You can put base parts on corvettes without mods if that's your thing too

[shadow crown]

WIP. First foray into offsets and working detached taking so long, so much fiddling

Ran out of steam for the other side at the moment, that's a later problem

[blissful gorge]

Aww it has a face

[shadow crown]

yeah I can't decide what to put on those front angles unfortunately

offsetting diffusers makes them feel too wide, which makes the aerofoils look out of place

[limpid karma]

offset thermal grill caps to connect the thrusters to the wings

it looks good like that

[shadow crown]

for the rockhopper wings? offset as in forward/backwards a half?

[limpid karma]

the big one on the left

i forgot the name

[shadow crown]

if you mean very left that is both sides visible those are aerofoils, big prop looking thing is rockhopper

[limpid karma]

thats a thruster

[shadow crown]

you mean offset to fit two on top then? like a hat lol

[limpid karma]

ill show u what i mean

[terse kestrel]

I'm a nerd

[shadow crown]

this but sunk a half step right

[terse kestrel]

That looks nice

[limpid karma]

i said i would show you

we have to fight now

[shadow crown]

patience isn't my strong suite also, trying to offset quickly is practice

[limpid karma]

i mean i had to remake the whole thing so yours was always gonna be quicker than me

[shadow crown]

bold of you to assume my incapability is... well, capable... of being quick

[limpid karma]

fuel pod covers look good too

maybe better even

ive had my fill of fuel pod covers personally

[limpid karma]

frustrating is what they are

[shadow crown]

true

I wish you could rotate parts but keep them in the same snapping position w/o needing to offset

basic functionality, cmon

[terse kestrel]

It's like old school based building where you couldn't rotate parts manually.

Glitching handrails on stairs was a challenge in and of itself.

It will get there eventually with Corvette building. And the more we play with it the more they'll be able to improve it.

[hoary galleon]

I got the silhouette of what I wanna build, what is best ?

[terse kestrel]

Something small like that. Doable. But you need to do some good offset building to jam all your essential parts in there

That little thing has three Medusas and four phase beams slammed in it.
