My new favorite thing with corvettes: hard vac transit!

[terse kestrel]

We need to be able to mine asteroids with our tool while floating in space.

[shadow crown]

lil sharks

[terse kestrel]

Noice

And before anyone says manually mining asteroids is pointless due to ships doing it already......you can just go kill someone else's fun.

[near snow]

That would actually be fantastic.

[terse kestrel]

Zero G....sentinel fights

[near snow]

Why not? Sentinels could have supply depots on large asteroids, maybe shielded so you’d have to land and head in on foot. I could get behind something like that. I’m all about my immersion.

Just duke it out with then while your corvette just floats alongside the asteroid in orbit 🤣

[terse kestrel]

That is very nice

[weak jacinth]

I keep falling through my Corvette while building T.T

[near snow]

The first time I rode in someone else’s corvette, I fell through the window into space. Just as disorienting as the first time I fell off of my freighter, yet weirdly fun.

[weak jacinth]

I'm trying to build a pirate ship. I am pleased with a first attempt. The nose has been reworked a LOT though

I'm hoping to find a better flat price than the Heavy Pallet... But it's all I have unlocked atm, so it's tentatively up

[torpid badge]

how does one make a ship THAT big and this smooth

that's legit a capital ship

[shadow crown]

Mods

Bypass complexity and area limits, probably mods for rotation and placement so you don't have to glitch every individual piece

[torpid badge]

it does look sick though

[obsidian robin]

How do you get off the corvette in a space station when the hatch animation does not open?

You hear the sound of it opening, but the graphics shows the hatch still closed.

And you cannot disembark

[glass surge]

i just reload once i'm out of the chair if that happens; much easier than trying to do anything to get out

[smoky flax]

Eh, no, not really. It looks the part but the ship it's supposed to immitate would be 19 kilometers long. So is it legit? No. Not at all. It's an ultra tiny miniature. Corvettes in general at the absolute largest are frigate size...they could never approach capital ship size. Not to mention they don't have the capabilities of capital ships...you can't dock starships with them, they can't control and coordinate frigates, etc. etc. etc.

[tame patio]

I'm tempted to make a corvette that is nothing but refiners (if there is no limit) so if I ever want lots of nanites I can refine it without it taking hours.

[gentle turtle]

First thing I tried to do since corvette update was land on one of those deep space listening post things that are built into an asteroid, they look so cool

Such a shame we can't interact with space encounters/anomalies beyond shooting at it or talking to it

[knotty ore]

If you don't want to take up all your corvette space (or have to build a giant corvette to hold all those refiners) then you could build a bunch of refiner rooms on your freighter cuz I don't think there's a limit on freighter

[tame patio]

I already got a corvette that I used for salvaging parts which I can use. It's to get more refiners on the planet so I can refine mold faster.

[hardy harbor]

I have odd feeling that saw that some where already. Like floating around asteroids and mining poking out blue crystals.. what could it be <.< (No, not space engineers)

[mighty hill]

anyone familar with getting 4 supercharged slots connected in a corvette?

[sour herald]

Yes I do hunt and get it, what's up?

[shadow wraith]

I was lucky enough to have my first corvette have a 4SC slot grouped up, even luckier considering it's the first starship I had that have it

And I grouped it up for the photon cannon, so it's still moot (I only use it since I don't like switching to another weapon while in combat)

13k DPS tho IIRC, vs. 82k on the Infraknife

[remote crypt]

Am I the only one using the SCs for range? My Corvette has 2800 and that's with no min maxing of mods, just 3 random S and the tech. I think they could have a higher range than explorers if built properly

[shadow wraith]

They are in the middle part in terms of stat

Which is fine, considering how much freedom you can tweak it vs. standard starships

I also used SC for the pulse engine, but doesn't seem to increase much vs. that one glitched broken starship with two pulse engines

[remote crypt]

Not for range they aren't - that's far more than everything except explorers and a bit more than exotics

They have the added benefit of their reactors counting as hyperdrives

So 3 extra tech, I presume that applies to photon cannon and phase beam as well

[shadow wraith]

Might've gotten a bad roll then (Max on mine is 1400)

8% per jump

[remote crypt]

Slap in 3 reactors, and then get the adjacency going for all of them and the modules- I was very suprised

[shadow wraith]

haven't checked yet how far it would go with SC reactors

Which reactor is it again, I only used 2x Medusa and 1x circular one

[remote crypt]

The zenith is the higher range one

I used the S modules in the SC as they are a bit stronger, and had the reactors around them

I'll grab a shot later when I'm on

[shadow wraith]

Sadly, it won't reach 2000, probably even with reactors on

[smoky flax]

No, Corvettes are haulers with extra tech. Now haulers(and by extension corvettes) exist only for shield bonus but staship shield modules gain almost nothing from being supercharged so it's not worth to supercharge more than the main shield tech itself. That frees up 3 SC slots to use on other things and I put 1 into hyperdrive and 2 into infra-knife.

[remote crypt]

I'm all about the range, I don't care about shields or weapons

[smoky flax]

If you want pure range then you probably a maxed out explorer with all 4 SC slots dedicated to hyperdrive as far as starships go but nothing comes close to the possible range of a properly maxed out freighter.

[remote crypt]

Correct, my freighter is maxed. And explorers aren't as cool as corvettes for me, so being able to hit 2800 without trying is exciting for me

I'll snatch up some maxed S or X roll for the bad boys

Bet I crack 3k

[smoky flax]

Corvettes can't quite match explorers for range but can have far superior fuel efficiency so you can jump a lot more with a corvette than with an explorer per fuel used but if making fuel is a non-issue then explorer.

[mighty hill]

How do I get it? Ive made a corvette that I really like the design of, but its C-class and I only have about 12k nanites. so I guess my question is how can I get enough nanites to make it S-class and also how can I save my design and get the 4SC? 😅

[remote crypt]

What's max on explorers right now? 3.2?

[smoky flax]

I'll get a screenshot of mine, give me 5 minutes.

[remote crypt]

No rush at all

[shadow wraith]

Buy the Suspicious Packet Arms and Tech on Pirate Systems, unbox, then sell them on legal systems

Can easily gain 50k nanites just by two or three trips for 4x Pirate systems in under 30 minutes

[mighty hill]

Do I need the (hide) contraband upgrade on the ship to transport them into regular ssystems?

[shadow wraith]

No, you can just carry them as normal items

Just don't get Cargo searched (interrupt by pulse driving out while it's ongoing)

Much easier way is to teleport first to your base, then to the legal space station

[remote crypt]

You can spam the cargo scan deflector as well

Never had it take more than 6 or so

[shadow wraith]

I always get searched lately because I forgot about my, uh, Schedule I plants from my freighter

[mighty hill]

this sounds like a clean way of doing it

[smoky flax]

This is about as good as explorers get right now. This one has optimal SC slot layout, bonus of +119.9% out or max possible of +120% and maxed X class modules.

[shadow wraith]

As well as other contrabands I forgot about

[eager sky]

I just have my illegal stuff in Freighter storage. Can't scan what's not technically on my ship

[remote crypt]

Sweet, thanks

[shadow wraith]

Yeah, this is faster in general

[remote crypt]

I don't think I'll hit 3.5 but I bet I can slip over the 3k

[shadow wraith]

Buy and sell in less than 3 minutes, even

It's a tad expensive, but you can just farm corvette parts and sell them all

Easy 10 million in a trip

[smoky flax]

Yeah, 3k is possible. My corvette has nearly 3200ly with only 1 SC slot dedicate to hyperdrive.

[remote crypt]

Tasty

Nice vette as well

[shadow wraith]

Wait, now that I realize it, does modules get better as I go far through playtime?

I still use my S-parts from when I restarted lmao

[remote crypt]

Modules don't change in any way via progress

You could find the best possible day one

[sour herald]

Guess you already solve nanit. As for how to get 4 SC with design you like it will be two separate things. first 4 SC together Corvette already decided the moment it's build so you need make new one, I suggest see youtube since it's a bit too long to explain. Second (after you done first step) is to desain it, for now still no way (I don't know about mod or editor) to copy paste owned design so you need to see again design you like and prepare the part needed to build them again

[fair pilot]

Weird ladder is the only way we can move between deck in corvettes?

[terse kestrel]

Yeah but do that ☝️ with barricades.

Improves them a lot. No more falling off. And the hard point keeps you falling through the top floor walking by them so easily.

[smoky flax]

For now. It seems like short range teleporters were planned to work and hopefully they will be allowed to work in the future, fingers crossed anyway, but for now yeah...ladders are the only way.

[hollow marten]

That's a very clever idea!

[terse kestrel]

Yeah the game files show they deactivated the teleporters. But still made them a build option.

So fingers crossed on that

[blissful gorge]

Is there a good way to do a 60 degree rotation with wires in nms?

[terse kestrel]

Can't wire glitch corvettes. It blocks you every time

[blissful gorge]

I have something close but spot on will avoid clipping ugliness

[blissful gorge]

Lol have you seen my ships? I use wire glitch on a base computer for my snap points

[terse kestrel]

I haven't done that one yet lol

It's too sensitive and I'm on Xbox so can't do save backups as easily

[blissful gorge]

Damn you have been free handing? Your angled builds look spot on

Skill is more important than technique I suppose lol

[terse kestrel]

I use the ladder plasma core method in the Corvette build system. It's pretty easy. Just time consuming

Having to set up all the surrounding ones to give you hard points for your angles......a lot of placing and delteing

[blissful gorge]

Nice thing about using a base is you set up a rig that you can use over and over on all your builds

I actually graduated to 2, one is my 90 degree rotations area and another is my internal base building/RnD for less than 90 rotations

[terse kestrel]

Lab work.....

[blissful gorge]

I've heard rawdogging the glitch key presses is easier on a controller but I have them all macroed

[terse kestrel]

Oh yeah..... definitely

I've been glitch building since old legacy build days. Controller is always the preferred method.

Hard as hell to hit those wire and adjacency glitches on MKB

Turn the sensitivity of the controller way down and you get smooth centerings and line ups easily. Less jerking back and forth.

[fair pilot]

oh ty! 'cause climbing them is non-trivial task sometimes

[abstract crow]

Someone recently released a mod on Nexus that fixes the issue, but customized rails is aesthetically pleasing.

[terse kestrel]

Back in the day it would take 15 minutes and trial and error to make a 45° angle for stair handrails.

Y'all are spoiled with all these fancy angles 😒

[abstract crow]

Back in the day we were all alone in the universe. Y'all are spoiled with your constant free updates and multi-player

[terse kestrel]

Back when other players were just balls of light 😂

[hollow marten]

So many great corvette designs everywhere. I just have a big chunky one. Though it's loosely based on the Autobot Ark from the 80s Transformers cartoon, so it's supposed to be chunky 😆

But this place is full of inspiration

[shadow wraith]

As long as it flies and holds up to your uses, it's already a great corvette

[remote crypt]

My main is ugly, but she's mine

[shadow wraith]

I still keep my Radiant Pillar and N56-P to this day (both A-rank currently), and so does my stock corvette

All crossed to the centre

Still have to farm Nanites for the S36 and Crystal Folly

[mighty hill]

Okay, thanks man for pointing me in the right direction 🙂

[terse kestrel]

Everyone should build a robot, megazord or Voltron Corvette at some point.

[hollow marten]

Words to live by! 😎

[terse kestrel]

Forcing yourself to build a good looking robot will give you plenty of inspiration down the road

[blissful gorge]

i am a battletech fan, been trying to decide what mech

[shadow wraith]

Also, yeah, you can "clone" your goated 4SC corvette by copying it during an expedition, editting a single part and change its name, then recopy it back to the main save

[blissful gorge]

was thinking a hunchback but studies show that people who dont care about battletech like the king crab the best

[hollow marten]

Ohh yeah, I saw that one in this or the showcase channel. Immediately made me want to build an Optimus Prime mech 😆

[terse kestrel]

King crab would be easiest. Because it's wide and bulky

[blissful gorge]

@terse kestrel do you know about slide glitch? thats a "new" tech for corvette builder

[terse kestrel]

A lot of the sleek mix would be harder. They would look too fat in your end result

[terse kestrel]

Slide glitch?

[blissful gorge]

yeah i might just have to try it this morning i can already think of the right parts

[terse kestrel]

Does that involve moving a hab with the rockhopper wing?

Half offset?

[blissful gorge]

no its about sliding something from a green to a red snap point

i dont really understand/know it besides that, but its how u get upside down parts

how i did the "chin" on my serenity

[terse kestrel]

Oh nice. Want to look into that

[blissful gorge]

basically like other glitches if you slide and click at the right millisecond it will place

so upside down nutrition unit -> slide hab onto it and click at same time -> slide other upside down shit onto that etc. tedious and hard to time, for me at least

but critical for some parts

[terse kestrel]

Makes sense though.

You would have just broke somebody's brain if they weren't used to glitch building 😂

[blissful gorge]

most glitches are in essence the same thing

confirming a build that is allowed but changing the parameters at the same time to do an illegal build

[terse kestrel]

Some people are so put off by them. But if they just give them a few minutes to learn they realize that they all roll together. And once you learn a handful the rest come easier

[blissful gorge]

i actually find it kind of fun how a few key combos can do so many different things

its like a platformer but for building ships and bases lol

and normally im not into a platformer

[mighty hill]

this is a good shout, cheers!

[blissful gorge]

the game let me transfer mine twice for some reason

which i was happy for, was a 3 and 1 which i actually prefer to a 4 square

i have to say one of the best things about corvettes in the anomaly is showing off my full auto no burst boltcaster

going to try to recreate that little space car i found yesterday then try the king crab

[abstract crow]

Let's see if I can make a good Corvette-sized corvette. Something suitable for combat.

[blissful gorge]

well i can say with confidence that the guy who made the space car used 1/4 offsets. I have a rig for that but dont really care enough to follow through. you can replicate the feel of the design in an attractive way with just half offsets like this for example (theres a thunderbird cockpit under that front ramp)

[remote crypt]

Are there tutorials on how to set up a base for the more advanced glitches?

[blissful gorge]

beeblebum youtube

[remote crypt]

I saw his stream, but he's done a tutorial as well?

[blissful gorge]

yeah on his youtube

[terse kestrel]

I love how he came back for corvettes. He's been focused on another game for a while.

[blissful gorge]

yeah space engineers. ive played that game a lot but i dont know how people can still play it. stagnant gameplay loops and the dregs of community that are left are just... unpleasant if you get to know them too much

[terse kestrel]

In his video list he has a entire section of videos involving everything related to base and Corvette glitching

Last I saw there was like 27 or 28 videos in that package

[blissful gorge]

its a sandbox for creating new games i guess, but the resources needed to run a server for that game are immense

[terse kestrel]

It's like astroneer.

Super fun but nothing to do once you reach a certain point. Zero end game and no reason to build big automated bases

These games aren't necessarily supposed to have an end game. But at least you have to fill it with stuff to do. That's where no man's Sky sets itself apart

[blissful gorge]

i mean good gameplay in se is pvp. and theres been good servers for that

@tardy tangle heres an example of how you could add reactor/weapons/thruster

[shadow wraith]

Fun fact; You can make a "ghost" corvette and trade it for another starship regardless of class

Using the 2nd corvette hangar to delete parts and trading the now "deleted" corvette with an NPC's starship

Useful for farming starships parts or just scrapping them. Rinse and repeat

[blissful gorge]

pretty cute, strong fifth element vibes for me

[blissful gorge]

do you know some special way to store more than 12 corvettes? or u mean second of 12 active starship slots?

[shadow wraith]

Nope, don't think we can

It's useful for deleting unwanted corvettes with bad SC positions tho

Since you can just trade it, then make another corvette with the parts you just deleted

[remote crypt]

Seen this one? Great detailing
https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/s/ioq3ic1gEY

[shadow wraith]

I never really used that exploit, rather that I just wanted to delete a bad corvette (and just happened to trade it with an Exotic)

[blissful gorge]

looks like it would be extremely abusive to dock at an anomaly, and therefore i have little interest

[abstract crow]

I couldn't imagine the challenge involved in building something like that in-game.

[shadow wraith]

I felt a strange disturbance in the force, as if millions of consoles and PC cried in agony and silenced afterwards

Good thing my Vega 56 can still handle corvettes that appears in the Anomaly

[blissful gorge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFp8qS5eE0k okay well surprisingly he did it all ingame

just 10000 panels

in other words, its within the game set limits

[shadow wraith]

People playing in Standard/Enhanced seeing a huge chunk of it gone

(Me)

[abstract crow]

only 10k panels

[shadow wraith]

-Just- 10000 panels

This is just like Sprocket back in 2021

[blissful gorge]

he theorizes himself that it wont be fully visible on console

[real elm]

I placed some custom parts for my Nebuchadnezzar from the Matrix, and that was only a couple dozen parts, that guy is some kind of masochistic basket case

it is NOT easy

[blissful gorge]

lol we are pumping this guy's view count, funny to see it counting up

seems like high quality content, props to him

[blissful gorge]

should i glitch the thrusters to point down like jumpjets? or is that too weird

[blissful gorge]

hmm first person may not really work on this build

[abstract crow]

I don't see any problems

[blissful gorge]

i have a cockpit/torso that is spot on but its not going to be very impressive at this scale

[abstract crow]

If I knew what I was doing, I'd absolutely build a colossal Liberty Prime.

[mild pecan]

goddamnit why not?

[abstract crow]

Because the game hates you.

[blissful gorge]

very skinny and vertical, not great for the layout of the ship editor

[abstract crow]

With a large enough scale, it wouldn't necessarily be "skinny". But at that point, you'd be going through the space station roof.

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

[blissful gorge]

could try slide glitch. move it from a green spot to the red spot and try to build it at the same time. repeat until you get it in

[blissful gorge]

thats my point. long skinny builds arent really great for this medium, in any direction but particularly vertically

otherwise this would be my main whip

[mild pecan]

there's no valid green spot along that axis though

[blissful gorge]

i mean you could make one

[real elm]

I wouldnt be so sure of that, you shouldve seen Seans tweet earlier today

He posted this on the official NMS twitter

[mild pecan]

idk how I should feel about this.

[real elm]

Thats a lot of parts in rotations that arent possible atm

[real elm]

Looks pretty neat, whats the problem?

[mild pecan]

comparison if I was able to do the left to the right

[abstract crow]

That'd drive me crazy, personally.

[mild pecan]

right looks better?

[blissful gorge]

we've already established thats within the corvette build limits

[abstract crow]

But a hab glitch would probably fix the lack of place able spots.

[blissful gorge]

since hes placing wings, a 180 hab rotation would make the wing face backwards unfortunately

maybe half offsetting both wings would help though

[abstract crow]

But with a hab glitched inside a hab, you should be able to place it in the correct spot and direction, no? That's how all my Arcadia wing designs end up in the right position.

[shadow wraith]

Wait, is the issue there the fact that there's a 0.5 step there?

It looks like it's doable by just offsetting a hab by 0.5 forward, and placing the wing

[mild pecan]

ooooo. OOOOOOOO

[blissful gorge]

there ya go 🙂 i like what u did with the triangle pieces on each side of the cockpit

[mild pecan]

yay or nay

[blissful gorge]

if it were me i would spend half an hour trying to glitch an upside down vent diffuser under the cockpit

[shadow wraith]

Just don't stare at the left/right part while pulse jumping

[mild pecan]

yeah something I picked up for space engineers

take those wings off the front?

[shadow wraith]

I wonder if they fixed the clipped animations on the sides of the Thunderbird cockpit

[mild pecan]

looks better without the wings?

[shadow wraith]

Looks fine either way

Just consider it as a canard or something

[real elm]

I havent built a corvette that large, how does it handle compared to smaller builds?

Does the camera work correctly, or does it turn into a mess?

[blissful gorge]

i love the way the camera looks on bigger corvettes

it does mean you have to make it look good from the back ofc 😛

[terse kestrel]

I think vertical boosters for jump Jets looks just fine

I got the Arcadia boosters on his shoulders and the twin boosters on its butt

[blissful gorge]

i think i need to double the scale of my king crab cockpit. which sounds a bit exhausting so not today

i really want a square pillar, like 1 hab height x 1 x 2

idk why they gave us 20 pieces the same size :/

[terse kestrel]

Pieces of various sizes and spatial designs would make Corvettes limiting for the average person. Even though it's bland for people who are really really into building.

As it is now with everything being pretty much the same size just different shapes it allows anyone to puzzle piece it all together. And have it be good looking and functional.

[blissful gorge]

fair point

i forget the name of the category but the entire connector category is just so redundant

all the 2x2x1 squares

[terse kestrel]

Yeah

[blissful gorge]

but even with that category hab spam is still very popular lol

[terse kestrel]

Average person can't pre-map ship designs in their heads. And are more reliant upon what fits where and what works where.

We are the ones that could look at 1x3, 2x4, 2x3, 1 x 5 and 2x6 etc and it not confuse us. We can make it work in our heads.

[blissful gorge]

thanks danish toy company

[terse kestrel]

😂

Betty from alien resurrections. My next project

[real elm]

That upward facing vent on the wings could be done with the excavator scoop decoration, and the robotic arms could scale up to be the hydraulics

I had an idea to build the USG Ishimura from Dead Space, but it was WAY too big

literally space station scale

[blissful gorge]

scale is always a tricky part of every project. i try to let the shapes of the pieces determine scale. but sometimes, that doesnt work out great, like that mech i tried to do earlier

i want to make a bigger serenity, also having trouble with that

woudl be awesome to have the cargo area catwalks and the dinner table/kitchen

[real elm]

Yeah, its an issue with usability too. If you plan to actually USE the ship afterwards, it needs to be not cumbersome, and many famous ships were little more than props or environment, not actual spacecraft

[blissful gorge]

yeah nice to see someone else with aligned goals. the replica making isnt fun if the ship isnt useful, at least for me

[real elm]

Thats why I scaled my design down to be useful

Using decorations and the scaling up/down function gives a LOT more flexibility with design

[shadow wraith]

My utter surprise when the replica I was gonna copy due to its practicality lore-wise also ends up being practical ingame (VCX-100)

[real elm]

Yeah, theres sadly not much actual room in the scaled down Nebuchadnezzar, just two habs and a walkways worth of space

[shadow wraith]

Spacious enough to fit all 10 storage parts, and lots of spares for planters and pushing every possible technology on it

[real elm]

The real ship had bunk rooms, weapon pods, dining hall, workrooms, etc, but scaled down is cramped

It's zippy tho

[shadow wraith]

Just call it 'My traveller decided to make a 1:2 replica of a starship they saw from a movie' or something

Infinite worlds means infinite shenanigans and headcanons

Well, 18,000,000,000 of it anyways

Oddly enough, I think my VCX-100 is close to 1:1 judging from human scaling at least

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

[real elm]

I havent bothered with even trying to headcannon extracirricular ships into NMS, its just fun to have a functional shipbuilder in a modern game

The game basically outright breaks the 4th wall and says its all a simulation sandbox for us 'Travellers' to explore and do whatever

[trail hornet]

astroneer reference

[real elm]

Wait, was the 'Traveller' in astroneer a NMS reference?

[trail hornet]

the astroneer i guess is what they're called but idk

maybe

bec astroneer came out like 2016

or 2019

[mighty hill]

@winter Ive sent you a PM, not sure if it went through

[trail hornet]

ea was 2016

[real elm]

they call the guy who pops into Astroneer 'The Wanderer', and he sorta does look like a NMS vanilla suit

and the Wanderer update was in 2019, well after NMS launched

[lusty raven]

I painted the ship red, but I remember that these areas weren't white before. Is it bug?

[eternal scroll]

I saw a video earlier for a 3-part build

It was a radar dish as the main

https://www.reddit.com/r/NOMANSSKY/comments/1obxa1i/cool_little_flying_saucer_made_out_of_only_3_parts/ I found it

[spring talon]

I have a lot of things not coloring properly, I was hoping it would be fixed by now

[lusty raven]

Looks weird..

[spring talon]

yeah. Unless you meant it to be default color its probably not gonna fit in

Circle windows do the same

[lusty raven]

After changing a few parts, it turned white. As I said, everything was red before. I put the old parts back on, but nothing changed. Ridiculous.

[trail hornet]

ohhh thats right i completely forgot

[spring talon]

I think I've had the bug all along, not sure it changed at any point

Hopefully they can fit a fix into the new update, cause they'll be moving on after it

[lusty raven]

It would be nice if they fixed it soon.

[real elm]

I might know what that is. If you apply a color to entire corvette, it resets all decorations to their default color pallete

Might not be exactly the issue, but it might be related

[spring talon]

Yeah, but I never used apply to entire corvette, cause my corvette has multiple colors

[soft fulcrum]

Oh whatt thats amazing

[mighty hill]

if the SCs on my corvette are in this formation
x x x O
x O x O
x x O x
are they then all connected? (the O's being the SC)

[blissful gorge]

Well I found another project

[trail hornet]

this would be sick and i want to see this

[abstract crow]

Well, she came out a little larger than expected, but it's still a good bit smaller than my usual designs.

[blissful gorge]

Call it the Arcadia

[abstract crow]

Probably going to be the Apollo-Class corvette until another name pops into my mind.

[real elm]

You might be able to pull off that glass orb with free placed glass windows

wont be perfect, but it might still be functional

[blissful gorge]

maybe a wonder projector? hmmm

[real elm]

wont work, you cant scale those enough

or rotate them

[blissful gorge]

I can rotate them 😛

but yeah scale hmm

[real elm]

really? I thought you cant rotate them angled, just in a circle

[blissful gorge]

im pretty sure you can wireglitch them

ive done it with other things like antennae

[real elm]

not sure what wireglitching is

[abstract crow]

Glitching with wires

[blissful gorge]

needs a base computer/settlement

[real elm]

all the stuff I did with the Nebuchadnezzar was straight vanilla placement, which was suffering

[blissful gorge]

note the antennae #nms-showcase-corvettes message

thats not to say it wasnt time consuming

[real elm]

I put in a mod that allows ANY building to be placed, rotated, etc, but that can cause issues

[fair pilot]

Corvette cargo racks are the same as freighter/base? If I'll have matter beam I'll not need racks?

[blissful gorge]

that ship took me a number of hours i dont want to calculate, over the last 2 weeks

[real elm]

Oh wow, its been a long while since I've played EVE, maybe a decade

[blissful gorge]

if you have matter beam you dont need racks, i stopped putting them on. they are fun if you like the roleplay of not needing a freighter

[real elm]

that brought some nostalgia back

[viral anchor]

I learned the wire glitch, but I'm trying to figure out how to apply it to corvettes. I saw one with rotated antennae in the showcase, but I can't get any wires to attach to the ship's hull, just devices inside. I'd like to add a couple like this, which are just floating parts of the base in this example.

[real elm]

There are so many cool ships in EVE that would look great in NMS

[blissful gorge]

yeah i never really pvped in that ship, but loved the look of it. I used the nightmare a lot tho

[blissful gorge]

you transfer from the base to the corvette. look up beeblebum on youtube

that looks great btw 🙂 like your use of the antennae

[fair pilot]

Can I rotate the internal unit to stick them not to side walls, but to front/back?

[blissful gorge]

transfer from base to the corvette is really easy, i would hardly call it a glitch since it doesnt require any glitchy keypresses

[viral anchor]

Ohhh, it is like you add the part to the base at the angle, then pick it up and move it?
Also, thanks! I wanted to make them look like certain interceptors that have angled ones like that.

[blissful gorge]

get to a place where you can switch between corvette and the base, edit the item to transfer to corvette, press the switch key (y on pc), then cancel edit (right click on pc)

i found when i transfered over 10 items at once i had some issues. i would transfer 10 items, save, reload, repeat if you are transferring a ton of stuff to the corvette, like a full interior

[trail hornet]

can't wait for the day we dont need as many glitches instead of using new base features

[blissful gorge]

you will be waiting forever if you do

theres no precedent or reason

[trail hornet]

i really want them to implement 90°/45° rotation into the base game without glitches just because it's so much of a time saver

or maybe just give us a way to cut away hab/walkway walls at least

[blissful gorge]

i mean, you can just delete the habs

[trail hornet]

yeah but thats not my point lol

[blissful gorge]

thats what i do

[trail hornet]

i need somewhere for my refiner

put the refiner in ur pocket 😛

[trail hornet]

yeah but thats not fun enough

plus i love the look of the thunderbird habs too much to do a habless corvette

[blissful gorge]

for sure, i definitely get that people have different constraints. its how the game is fun

[trail hornet]

did it a tiny bit with the zephyr 1 i tried making and didnt love it tbh

[blissful gorge]

i did one that had 1 hab as the entryway, then stairs up to habless interior

[trail hornet]

i just kinda suck at interiors so i use the hab bases as a "good enough"

[blissful gorge]

yeah i feel that too. interiors are kind of hard, you have to use parts really creatively, like dont just use a table as a table

#nms-base-building is full of tricks/inspo tho even for glitchless building

[trail hornet]

i'll take a peek in there when i'm on my next break

[wraith quiver]

thats a thicc bitch

[abstract crow]

They always look thicc from above. Never a good angle.

[dense osprey]

My corvette is now shooting in all directions besides forward.. and also out of nowhere... Any thoughts?

[trail hornet]

known bug for first person

thoughts are: wait until a patch

or use 3rd person

[dense osprey]

Ive never done third before in this game, but I guess?

[trail hornet]

one plus side is that it looks cool

[real elm]

I prefer 3rd person because then I can see my cool ship I built

the cockpit gets old quick

[trail hornet]

i can't use 1st person on my latest corvette lol

[fair pilot]

I cannot fit this to the wall that in front of me, right?

[real elm]

If it's blue you should be able to, if you have the materials and arent standing too close

[fair pilot]

I mean the wall to the right from the part

It doesn't snap there

[real elm]

ah, that's the endcap of a hab, I dont think you can, no

you can try free placing it?

might look weird

[fair pilot]

no, it only snaps

[real elm]

There are mods that unlock free placement, rotation, and resizing of EVERY object on corvettes, and it does work for multiplayer seamlessly

meaning you can free place base objects inside a corvette and they function exactly as expected

there are a couple exceptions, like placing exocraft docks on your ship causes... issues.

[fair pilot]

teleport works inside corvette?

[real elm]

Havent tried that yet, but I think you can teleport from, just not to it

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096

Just dont do anything really obviously stupid, like exocraft docks or mineral harvesters

If you place an exocraft dock on your corvette, you wont be able to land... at all. Or dock at a staton, or the anomaly.

[shadow crown]

Too bad short ranged teleporters don't work on corvettes

[fair pilot]

interior of the corvette cannot be recoloured?

[abstract crow]

I'm trying to remaster one of my oldest designs, but I forgot how hard it was to try and hide the habs along the side. I vaguely remember just giving up the first try.

[real elm]

The benefits are that you'll be able to place any decoration, resize or rotate them at will, even if they normally cannot, and uninstalling the mod will retain them in the altered position as expected

[real elm]

They cannot, sadly. You can try one of the other two hab styles, but thats it

[fair pilot]

Damn, slots disappeared from my corvette. The hell happened xD

No way to fix "firing from nowhere" except placing the firing points in unobstructed places for now, right?

[limpid karma]

cockpit doesnt get old when the view is like this

[real elm]

...literally 2/3 of the view is taken up by bulkhead

I just love looking at steel paneling

[limpid karma]

yeah but its the halo spirit dropship

so its awesome

[real elm]

I honestly do not appreciate the design of that ship in any way, it looks so stupid

kudos to you for building it, but... ick

[limpid karma]

we're gonna have to permanently encase you in the evil crystal man

[real elm]

I do have some appreciation for style and design, I made this:

[limpid karma]

interesting

i made this

[eternal scroll]

cool! 🚪

[real elm]

its about 1/3 scale, but its the Nebuchadnezzar from the matrix

[limpid karma]

i cant really see it too well in the picture

[real elm]

Thats hilarious, you should do the Mystery Van from ScoobyDoo

[limpid karma]

i think that would be a lot of work

[real elm]

Depends on the scale and the level of detail

[limpid karma]

ive kinda been sucking in the designing my own ship department recently

[real elm]

also I dont think the custom decals and coloring options are quite there yet

[limpid karma]

this is the last one i made that i liked

everything else has just been not that good

[real elm]

imo the ship builder system isnt quite good enough to make a custom design from scratch that is good, but the fun for me was taking inspiration from an existing fictional ship and building it in NMS, where you can actually fly around in it

[limpid karma]

i think its good

its just not easy

[terse kestrel]

The ship building system is just like everything else in no man's sky. A proper mix of simulation and realism with arcade casual carrying it.

So the immersive people can enjoy it just as much as the casuals.

Hello games doesn't get enough credit in that regard. Few developers can actually please both groups of gamers like that.

It's also how they've cornered the market on space games. Nobody can build and release a proper simulator or arcade space game right now. Because the average player of those games Play No Man's Sky

[real elm]

I heard a rumor that a large part of the reason for big free updates of new mechanics is to test-drive new designs for their other game in development

[terse kestrel]

Yeah HG said that's what they've been doing

Had a lot of the new content for nms are systems for lnf. And we are basically the guinea pigs polishing the mechanics out before the new game drops

[fair pilot]

So THIS is considered by game engine as OBSTRUCTED firing points?

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

[terse kestrel]

You got to imagine this Corvette building system is going to be the ship building system for that game. Same mechanics. Just different graphics

[real elm]

So long as the NMS updates arent half baked beta-testing stuff, its fine

[fair pilot]

Or why the hell is it shoots beams from nowhere?

[terse kestrel]

It also goes to show that they do in fact plan on improving these new updates and mechanics. Because if they don't polish them out in no man's Sky they're going to release broken in light no fire

[trail hornet]

can i vertically flip the little angled wings? i can't remember what they're called but they go up at an angle

[real elm]

I havent seen a way to flip corvette structural parts vertically, sadly

I really wish you could flip the rockhopper wings so they angled up, you could do so many things with that

[mighty hill]

does this count as 4 connected SCs?

[trail hornet]

aw alright

[real elm]

I dont think so, but dayum you got a lucky fit there

mine are super spread out

[mighty hill]

Thanks! First time ever upgrading to S-class. I guess the question is: how do I put it to the best use 😅

[real elm]

I know its not the best advice, but with my medium-sized corvette, I found the best idea was to put every supercharged slot into maneuverability

Damage is easy to get good enough for all combat with good mods, but being able to maneuver and boost is more difficult to get

[mighty hill]

yeah thats a good point, Im very tempted to focus on manoeuvrability and I guess it makes sense with the boost as well

[real elm]

You can always get more slots and move things around, but the only thing you cant change is the SC slots

and since you spend more than 80% of this game exploring, flying, and maneuvering, it's more important than battle capability

looking damn good while doing it is also important

[mighty hill]

yeah youre absolutely right want to make flight time feel like a breeze

[mighty hill]

and I feel like this cant be emphasized enough 😂

[blissful gorge]

Maneuverability is the priority for tech, shields and weapon power are trivial to achieve and don't need sc slots

And hyperdrive is a little redundant when freighters exist

[real elm]

Its why the corvette update is so good for the longevity of NMS, people really want to customize their ship, or mock the people who can only make crimes against good taste

[real elm]

I havent gone on a long odyssey yet to the galactic core, why would anything more than the basic range upgrades be needed?

Are there huge uncrossable deadzones or something?

[blissful gorge]

Are you agreeing with me? I'm saying it's not worth worrying about tech/sc wise

[real elm]

just asking, I dont know enough about long trips to agree or not

[blissful gorge]

The freighter can just jump so ridiculously far, so it's redundant to try to max jump range on a starship

[mighty hill]

Nice, thanks for chipping in @blissful gorge 🙏🏻

[blissful gorge]

The best shield tech is bind sodium hotkey. Second best is use phase beam

[mighty hill]

I'm trying to make things around manoeuvrability and boost now, but I think I might be held back by the components as I cant get any higher than 1410 for manoevrability

[mighty hill]

Nice 😂

[mighty hill]

hahaha its one or the other 😂

[blissful gorge]

3 s (or x) mods on SC slots, the special mod from the expedition ship (people dupe it and hand it out), and learn polo figurine (Google it)

[shadow crown]

There's corvette shape stuff affecting maneuverability

Although getting too high breaks shit

[blissful gorge]

It's trivial and easy to overcome with tech

[mighty hill]

Thanks ill do a bit of digging around this

[terse kestrel]

Remember that supercharged is greater than adjacency when it comes to much of the tech.

So if you can't have your Tech side by side you will still get better stats by spreading your maneuverability Tech around your supercharged slots.

[fair pilot]

So my first 'vette.
No glitch/offset using except weapons locations.

[shadow crown]

Nice edit, just before I called that out lol

[terse kestrel]

🤫

[terse kestrel]

Looks like a cruise liner

Nice profile on it

[shadow crown]

Looks like a beetle

[mighty hill]

Yeah Im trying to be conscious about this so I at least benefit from that

[fair pilot]

Just wanted to make something sleek, but without glitches. First it was more angular, may switch to "angularity" back.

[terse kestrel]

Oh and once you get your tech set up how you like it I would suggest taking a picture of it. There's currently a bug that loading the game up often causes your Corvette Tech to scramble randomly

So it's good to have a copy of your Tech template so you don't have to try and piece it together again

[fair pilot]

Also my greedy ass slapped limit number of every reactor and shield in...

[trail hornet]

beautiful view

[terse kestrel]

Who needs to see where they're going when you got strong shield?

[trail hornet]

for real

[analog gate]

I keep seeing these round things on corvette online, and I can't figure out what they are >< Can someone please tell me

[fair pilot]

Radar dish.

[trail hornet]

looks like a radar dome

[terse kestrel]

Wall decoration. Forget what it's called

[raven rover]

thats an radar dish

But with an deco overlayed on top

[mighty hill]

Oh really?! Thats a big yikes..thanks for letting me know, I didnt know about that

[terse kestrel]

Well the center thing is a radar dish. The blue thing around it is a base build decoration

[analog gate]

I mean I keep seeing that round part with the blue shapes on it specifically, I know it's not part of the dish.

[raven rover]

@analog gate

[analog gate]

Oh ok

Thank you

[raven rover]

[terse kestrel]

What site did you pull those pics from? I'm using the wiki but they don't look that detailed. And they don't have the words labeled

[raven rover]

My own game

[terse kestrel]

Derp...thx 😂

[mighty hill]

Also, how do u know- or how do u get better corvette pieces, as in better class for the actual engines, reactors, modules etc?

[real elm]

what mod are you referring to? First I've heard of this

[blissful gorge]

uh tech i guess? whatever u call the thing you put in ur tech slots

[fair pilot]

Farm salvageable scrap a lot. 🙁

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

[real elm]

There are only C class corvette parts, and different shield/engine/weapons give different bonuses to different things. You upgrade your corvette with nanites up to S-class, nothing else

[blissful gorge]

i play other games cant keep the nomenclature straight

[real elm]

right, that. What tech part are you referring to?

[blissful gorge]

oh the mod from the starborn runner?

[terse kestrel]

And the fact that there's classes on the Corvette pieces suggests there will be plenty more pieces in the future. They wouldn't build a Corvette class piece system if everything was just supposed to be the exact same level. Always

[real elm]

It's either that or there will be no class for built-in parts, like how the normal ships launch thrusters and engine have no class

[fair pilot]

Imo, corvettes should allow more tech slots than 60, because you cannot fit everything you want into 60 slots, as corvette parts occupying the slots too. D:

[terse kestrel]

You can almost guarantee there's going to be Corvette pieces for Quicksilver down the road.

[real elm]

There's diminishing returns for using more than 2-3 of any part. There's no point in stacking tons of engines or shield generators besides cosmetics

so dont put mountains of habs and crap everywhere and fill all your tech slots with fluff

[terse kestrel]

I don't know if they'll increase tech slots. Not unless more people are vocal about it.

The major majority of players 60 is more than enough. More than that is just for the min-maxers

Most people won't even unlock all the figurines and trails to fill it up anyways

[real elm]

I didnt even know about figurines until now, I thought they were just another decoration

[terse kestrel]

Artemis and Polo are the two you should pick up first. Maneuverability bonuses. And they do adjacency bonus

[real elm]

Maneuverability is everything

[blissful gorge]

if you put more than 3 habs it wont add more tech slots

[terse kestrel]

If you have a bunch of phase beams on your ship the Apollo one makes them even more op

[real elm]

Yup, but you can just buy the slots, it's not really needed

[terse kestrel]

In the end there's like 15 or 16 essential Tech that you will end up with your tech slots

[real elm]

after a certain point, money comes faster than you can spend it

[fair pilot]

Fair

[terse kestrel]

TBH farming and selling Corvette pieces is all anybody needs to generate revenue

[real elm]

I made an absolute mountain of money salvaging sentinel interceptors, 20-30m each

[terse kestrel]

They're so littered all over some planets. And worth so much. You can walk away with hundreds of millions easy early in the game

Any more credits are just fodder. An arbitrary number that really doesn't matter much because it's so easy to increase it.

Real currency of the game is nanite and Quicksilver

[real elm]

I do hope HG rebalances the progression of that a bit, since it feels like corvettes have completely overtaken most of the roles normal ships have, with base comforts and conveniences on top, and customizability as well

[terse kestrel]

I'm almost 300 hours into my current playthrough and I've yet to build up anything in my freighter. And for years I've been nothing but a freighter nomad

With Corvettes and their options and functionality freighters feel like more of a chore now.

And really all you need is one half hab unit. The ability to switch out storage containers or machines on your walls is so simple. You have everything you need right there.

[blissful gorge]

u dont have to tell me, im a habless builder 😛

[real elm]

I only put in storage units in my freighter, because the inventory management is more convenient with it in system

I bought the game at launch, played a couple hours, and only picked it up a few weeks ago and put in 100h since, so not that much experience tbh

most of that was spent suffering in the ship builder, getting design tweaks right

[terse kestrel]

And that was the conversation I was having with somebody else. Players such as yourself. Finding the pathway to a Corvette much easier than a fully fleshed out freighter

They've nullified the need for a freighter somewhat. Other than just being extra storage.

[abstract crow]

Working on turning one of my oldest designs into a more modern and better one. Definitely looking good so far.

[terse kestrel]

I pulled out the first one I built last night to redesign. I ended up just deleting it.

It was a monstrosity that couldn't be saved

[abstract crow]

This was number 5 I think. Wanted a more prominent bow.

[real elm]

Pretty much.
I started playing mostly blind, and my progression was: starship -> mandatory shitshack -> corvette, with the freighter, better starships, and most base progression being completely sidelined

[abstract crow]

This was the before version.

[real elm]

geez how do you even dock that thing?

I saw a 'corvette' in the anomaly that looked similar scale, and it overflowed off the front and back of its docking pad

[abstract crow]

It just barely fits in the corvette spots. I made sure it was still somewhat within the limits.

[chilly valve]

basically flying a freighter around

(its a corvette)

[abstract crow]

I mean, there is certainly overhang with my design. But not as bad as some of the others I've made.

[real elm]

I heard its possible to bolt new pieces onto an existing corvette by starting a new corvette, panning the camera to the existing corvette, and modifying the existing one instead of the new corvette

I know you can trick the corvette builder into letting you remove critical components like landing gear or generators, but havent tried extending beyond the normal bounds

[analog gate]

Well I'm just gonna have to accept that I'm terrible at ship building XD

[fickle heath]

is it possible to duplicate a corvette ?

[chilly valve]

actually really happy with how good this behemoth looks

[fickle heath]

t h i c k

[chilly valve]

oh ya

[fickle heath]

i extended a little my "carrier"

you can actually fit 2 classic ships on top there

[tame patio]

I bet no one has done this yet

[lusty raven]

I want to unlock everything to design the Corvette interior. Where can I unlock more items?

[fickle heath]

if its possible to duplicate a corvette then my next project will be an extended version of my carrier

[terse kestrel]

All your Corvette interior decorations are going to be the same as base decorations. You can buy them in the anomaly for salvage data

The machines and storage units that go on the interior walls of your Corvettes are all crafted with materials. You don't have to unlock them

[fickle heath]

oi

[terse kestrel]

Blue- 3 Medusa reactor

Red- 2 titan heavy boosters in the same spot

Green- twin Dynamo boosters

Yellow - pistons for flair

I'm trying to jam as much engine and reactor Tech into as small of a space as possible.

You can create some really unique engine and booster chassis

[lusty raven]

Are there any items purchased with Quicksilver?

[terse kestrel]

Nope. Not yet at least. But will likely be some down the road

Easiest way to get Corvette parts is to fly over a planet with your positron ejector or photon cannon. And shoot salvage containers from the air. You will rack up a ton of Corvette parts in a short time

Even easier is just building yourself a simple and functional corvette. Allowing you to engage in autopilot coasting on planets.

You stop your ship in mid-flight, scan for a salvage container, fly to it and shoot it. And then scan for your next. Rinse and repeat until inventories are full

[lusty raven]

hm good idea

[sick kayak]

YUGE

The Corvette cache at space stations or universal. No matter what you put in there you will be able to access them from any space station in the game

So you don't have to keep any Corvette pieces on you. Just throw them in there

[lusty raven]

what is this ? Never saw that i guess

[sick kayak]

Autophage casing builder? I forget the exact name but I think it's unlocked the same way as the Autophage base parts

[lusty raven]

what is autophage ?

[sick kayak]

Ah. Just play through the game. Look out for interesting stuff on dissonant worlds

[fickle heath]

my robot army production that i use to expand my civilization across the galaxy

[golden radish]

IIRC you need to finish the atlas path storyline first

[lusty raven]

So, do I need to move forward to get the item in the picture? It looks smart inside the ship.

[sick kayak]

Yeah you need to start a quest line on a dissonant world to discover the Autophage

I don't want to spoil too much lol

[lusty raven]

Right then, I'll get on with the main task. Thanks

[tame patio]

Just to say getting this monstrosity of a corvette to work was not too complicated just had to get the tubes to go into the modules.

I just wonder how wild it could look if I wanted to go all out and make as long of a pipe system but I don't want to take the time doing it.

It was just funny seeing this fly as it looks so flimsy and would break.

I also use creative for the reason of playing about and not using ship slots in survival. If I fill up I can always do another creative save.

[raven rover]

a sneeze could break that thing 😭

[tame patio]

More like a speck of dust would.

[raven rover]

😭

i imagine lining up those rods mustve been hard

Or is it not?

[tame patio]

It wasn't too bad, I was able to place it outside on the wall which lined it up perfectly.

[raven rover]

wait

[tame patio]

The rest snaps into place.

[raven rover]

Do the tubes snap to each othe

Ohhhhhh

[tame patio]

Yes.

[raven rover]

I thought you had to freeplace em all 1 by 1

[tame patio]

They also connect to pipes which don't appear in the corvette build menu.

Hello games probably missed these as they were quicksilver items even though the crane and crates that appeared later on are not there.

[atomic pine]

can i still make a corvette i just returned

[trail hornet]

returned what?

wdym returned

[junior coral]

Question to those that might know, how would I best go about building a "spherical" cockpit? Working on making the Darth Maul's Scimitar but cant figure out the sphere part

[atomic pine]

returned to nms

[trail hornet]

yeah they're a permanent feature

[junior coral]

You can still make one

[atomic pine]

sweet ima get on and get on a shitty ship and make one

[trail hornet]

nice

[atomic pine]

oops my bad for cussing

[trail hornet]

its fine idt its a rule here

[junior coral]

How would I get this to be more of a perfect sphere??

This is the goal

[trail hornet]

i'd say use the dome pieces

[junior coral]

Mk will try those

[weak jacinth]

How does one build the big ones on Xbox? I kept getting cut off by a build limit last night

[unkempt temple]

Theoretically possible to approximately get the angles right?

[unborn sundial]

idk if this is legal, but using glitch of building in corvette are legal?

[trail hornet]

yeah its fine lol

[fickle heath]

u need a mod, on pc

[terse kestrel]

This comment has been sent to Sean personally. You can expect an enforcement agent from Hello games at your door at any time

[terse kestrel]

You would need to use a third party mod to build it outside of the game. And then inject it into the game

[unborn sundial]

maybe that is the mean of the door in the next update?

[weak jacinth]

Ah boo

[fickle heath]

any legacy ship can fit on these, thats the largest landing pad

[fair pilot]

How can I fix 2 thrusters not working?

And how bad is my idea to make ship laying on the floor instead of "normal" landing gear position?

fitting into 100 parts is hard as hell tho...

[fickle heath]

mod can fix that

[fair pilot]

I don't like using mods. Also, they seems to be working/not working randomly.

[fickle heath]

Corvette No Complexity Limit

works great, thats ur only way to fix it

[real elm]

sadly, sometimes mods that you don't take advantage of for anything other than quality-of-life are required

game engines have quirks, and mods make up the gap, even if you only use them for visual effects

Just dont take your complexity too far, or it wont load properly, and dont place illegal structures llike exocraft docks on your corvette

[abstract crow]

Mods are love. Mods are life. Makes designing corvettes much easier.

[weak jacinth]

Do you mod on Xbox?

[cursive lark]

Can't

Wait

I see why you asked

[real elm]

I wonder if you can make a ship using PC with mods, then transfer it to a console

I know you can place decorations and parts with a mod, and uninstalling the mod will retain the position of that decoration, even if it was resized

so long as its within reason, it works as expected

[cursive lark]

You could if you have crossplay

[midnight rock]

Looking for some tips and advice on how to disguise the blocky hab modules.

[real elm]

be more specific, it very much depends on the scale of your build, what shape youre aiming for, and how much time you're willing to spend

[glass surge]

Use everything on the structural decoration and exterior decoration tabs after the core modules tab as to inspiration or way to do it that's up to you

[real elm]

If youre asking how to disguise them from the inside, thats a more difficult problem, since you cant recolor the insides, and decoration is purely up to taste

[midnight rock]

Oh no, just exterior. I find I use too many cowling and other decorative components, and I run out of complexity

Trying to build a more triangular/delta wing design ship.

[real elm]

oof, youre going big then

if you dont care how complex it gets, you can use a mod to unlock complexity and go nuts, assuming youre on PC

The other option is to take a step back, scale down your build, and use decorations to make up the gap

[midnight rock]

Also those shield generators are such a pain to hide. I'd stick them under my ship, but they look too much like balls dangling from the underside lmao.

[midnight rock]

I am on PC, but I am reluctant to use mods.

[real elm]

There are a few ways to trick the builder to 1/2 steps for placement, and clip objects inside each other

[midnight rock]

Related to shield generators, do I need multiple? Or can I just install one and use upgrade components to boost it?

[real elm]

If you use the Rockhopper Wing, you'll find there's 5 snap points on the right side, not just 2. You can use that to place the wing, move the hab 1/2 step, and you can place things at 1/2 steps meshed into each other in tight spaces

[real elm]

You truly only need one, or none if you use a trick, and normal tech makes up the gap

[midnight rock]

Oh ok. Same with reactors?

[real elm]

yup, though reactors give nice bonuses

the trick is to finish your build, then place the components you DONT want way off to one side, complete the corvette, then go to the next docking slip down, start a NEW corvette, and pan the camera in build mode and delete the unwanted parts on the original corvette from the new corvette build interface

The downside to that trick is if you want to edit the finished corvette, it'll notice there's missing critical components, and you'll have to repeat the trick

I wonder if you can delete parts off someone elses ship if theyre in the dock with you? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm testing required

[fair pilot]

If I decide to play with the limits, what is the limit of details when other players still not crying in paying when I'm going to the anomaly?

[real elm]

the limits really are about where the vanilla limit is

I have a pretty beefy rig with a very stable network link, and sometimes corvettes still dont load

Even my own ship interior doesnt load while in the anomaly, and it has barely anything inside, and its not incredibly large

[fair pilot]

Ah okay, I'll stick with my compact one then (trashed it and rebuilt from the last screenshot)

The fact that I don't need to slot everything really helps

[midnight rock]

Ugh really need more cockpit designs. The only one that looks good imo is the Thunderbird.

[fair pilot]

So I only took 1 medusa reactor, 1 round one and 2 hyperdrive reactors

[fair pilot]

Ambassador is really good from inside, but awful from the outside.

Titan is 50/50

Thunderbird is good from both perspectives

[weak jacinth]

Yeah with his name I thought it was worth asking

[real elm]

Titan looks great if you want that disorganized gritty tech feeling on the inside

[fair pilot]

Ambassador hubs & thunderbird cockpit all the way

[glass surge]

They all look the same when you cover them with exterior decoration modules 😂

[fair pilot]

Does anyone prefer the front position of the ramp instead of the back?

Oh, gonna try the elevator one tomorrow...

[soft fulcrum]

aaaa wrong channel im stupedo

[terse kestrel]

If you do VR the ambassador cockpit goes hard

Reminiscent of subnautica VR

[blissful depot]

Hey if I wanted someone’s help with building a ship bc of a time issue on my end and lack of patience. Who would I ask for help?

[terse kestrel]

If you have your entry ramp below your cockpit you can literally look down at the floor and beam down to the planet. Without having to go to your bottom level

The beam down and open hatch options are able to be activated through the floor.

On my scorpion ship I have an entry ramp on both ends. Top floor in the back and bottom floor in the front.

[fair pilot]

Oh thank you, I'll check.

How usable is thunderbird ramp?

[glass surge]

There is no Thunderbird ramp it's a flat platform that lowers down

[fair pilot]

Yeah, I forgot the general name of the equipment type, but how usable is it?

Landing bay!

[terse kestrel]

It's useable. It's got the switch to raise and lower it on the platform

It's just a bit slower than a ramp and doesn't allow easy in and out

But you can have a ramp in the back or front of your ship and the Thunderbird Bay in the middle. Right behind your cockpit.

You're not limited to just one like cockpits

[glass surge]

For Thunderbird it's usable but a bit finicky the controls are in the bay and not with the platform when it lowers but are accessible outside of it just like the others.

it gets stuck open just as much as the others
also Thunderbird sometimes blocks you from jetting up into your ship

[trail hornet]

i wish thunderbird landing entries were automated

[elder iron]

The funny thing is that the thunderbird and titan bays have their names swapped

[fickle heath]

progress on the Second carrier class corvette

[midnight rock]

Oh another quick question. Have they fixed the issue where if you descend the stairs in your ship while boosting, you end up falling out of your ship into the middle of space? This is why I've built my corvette to be single level.

No as i just tried that and i got jettisoned into SPACEEEEEE but the better question is did anyone report it

[fickle heath]

bridge progress

entrance

[elder iron]

It doesnt happen for me, though idk if thats due to how I built my corvette

[glass surge]

It only happened to me when i had the autopilot set to a known planet and the shp in pulse drive

[smoky flax]

A fix for that has been sitting in experimental but hasn't gone public. Will almost certainly be fixed with whatever update releases tomorrow.

[blazing pelican]

what do i do if theres supposed to be a door there but there isnt

i tried dismissing and summoning again, reloading

[smoky flax]

Make sure you haven't built something there during corvette building to block the door.

[split zodiac]

Will the Corvettes and Voyager update ever come to switch 😔

[blazing pelican]

i found the issuem but thank you

it was connected to a hab and i switched out the hab for two walkways and that fixed it

[glass surge]

Switch is a old platform now and i doubt the hardware could handle it especially with modded builds some people do; i would suggest moving to a different platform like PC or a more powerful console if you really want to do corvette stuff if you still enjoy NMS without corvette than just continue playing

[smoky flax]

Not sure. Honestly I was surprised that the game even released on Switch at all. If HG can make it work it might come with the new update. I don't think HG have given up on Switch but they might be forced to at some point...it's really bad hardware.

[split zodiac]

I Play on a PC most of the time but it'd be nice to be able to sit down and play it on the switch but yeah no I wouldn't be surprised either if The update didn't come out because of the old hardware of the switch.

But I still hope they somehow find a way to bring it on there

[blazing pelican]

my finalized creation

[solid sage]

My Corvette in space station ultra green color

Now working on new Corvette design.

[soft fulcrum]

are you using colossal corvettes

new attempt at making a corvette it looks pretty trash but not

whatd yall rate it

[fickle heath]

yes

[soft fulcrum]

Is there a possibility you could show me what im doing wrong because no matter what im limited by space, i have the mod installed how i think it should be properly but it still shows a max range

[gentle turtle]

If you swap the front ends cowlings and diffusers for the types on the rear, it will tie the whole thing together nicely I think!

Cohesion

Also, if you're open to suggestions that is, extend the underside of the cockpit area a bit further back so it looks more "solid" of a connection with the rear of the ship. Where the two cowling styles meet

[glad gale]

opinions?

[glass surge]

Speedbird Cowling would go better with the speedbird nacelle's by the cockpit.

maybe hide some of the shield modules by the underside of the speedbird nacelle's near the from t but above the windows if snap points allow or back by the engines.

Ambassador engines are great for looks but suck for stats i would consider changing them out for other engines and then add 2 back for looks

also decals maybe?

[vague sapphire]

Reminds me of a loooong quinjet from Marvel

[glad gale]

Where should I add the cowlings?

And for the stats the engines are fine tbh because I have 3200 maneuverability

[glass surge]

I would remove the vesper one by the gun and the super cruise one behind it and put the speedbird ones there

[terse kestrel]

The best space ship run off fuel injection with carburators

[terse kestrel]

You should be able to place a hab OVER the cockpit. Covering it.

That would allow you to put some attachments on the side of the cockpit. Encasing it a bit.

Then delete the hab

Kind of like that

[glad gale]

What attachments would I put around my cockpit?

[unique gyro]

hey guys

my corvettes a little big

how do i make it zoom out more when flying

[hardy harbor]

Got a weird idea.. Flying Baba Iaga house o.o

[shadow crown]

I do not know if you can without mods lol

[unique gyro]

do you know a mod lol ive already maxed my fov

[unique gyro]

the crystals are a nice touch

wait

oh those are the reactors

[trail hornet]

theres crystals

[ripe axle]

Both.

I left the reactors exposed for the blue neon then tossed a bunch of crystals in there

[unique gyro]

yah i know

it blends it in nicely

[ripe axle]

Build needs a little polishing but I’m pretty happy with it.

[soft fulcrum]

hmm okay ill see what i can do, currently this is what i got

[shadow crown]

I don't use any, sorry. Someone here probably does, or #nms-modding

[terse kestrel]

Built a drop ship. Based off a YT video I saw. It separates your cockpit and access ramp

"lightly" glitched

There has to be a way to just leave you cockpit floating completely ....

[soft fulcrum]

i sacrificed my save almost for this pic lol

[sullen locust]

something basic but nice :))

[real elm]

What decoration is the crystals? I must know

Theres some ugly purple Atlantid crystal decorations, but those are a vibrant blue white

[ripe axle]

You get them at the quicksilver kiosk

You can change the colors too

[real elm]

Yes but what are they called

[ripe axle]

I’m not sure. They’re the only ones in there so they’re not hard to find

[real elm]

And can you scale the really big?

[ripe axle]

In the base building section

[ripe axle]

I mean those are on a corvette, so I’d say fairly big.

[wraith quiver]

i kinda wanna do something like this. small little outdoor area

[real elm]

Ah yes, nothing says “spaceship” like an open outdoor seating area

[soft fulcrum]

oh yeah were going to explode guys

(maybe)

[real elm]

Uh, phrasing?
Are YOU going to explode, or other ppl going to explode?

Or are you literally exploding guys?

[soft fulcrum]

i wanna see if imminent core detonation if itll actually do it

[raven rover]

damn, this building area expansion mod is so busted

I can actually make mine so much bigger

If only we had more bigger parts to fill up space

So i dont have to put a bunch of 1x2 blocks

[soft fulcrum]

i wish i could get mine working fr :/

colossal corvettes for me is not working at all unfortunately

[raven rover]

Like the mod doesnt work or crashes?

Did you put the mod in the right folder?

[soft fulcrum]

It just doesnt work for me im pretty sure my cfg is correct at that, if youd like to take a gander i sent my file hierarchies in the mod channel

[raven rover]

oh yeah it is correct

thats weird

mine just works first try

[soft fulcrum]

This is so insanely odd, is there a possibility you could maybe send me your mod file so i can see if its locally an issue with nexus's publish

[raven rover]

same thing as yours

[soft fulcrum]

This makes absolutely no sense bruhh

I dont get why it wont work the way its supposed to ngl

Atleast i dont have a complexity limit

That mod ik def works

[raven rover]

i just tried placinmg my modules over the hangar area and it worked fine

so it still shows up as red for you?

i did have some issues with blocks turning red but i believe its because i glitched em

[soft fulcrum]

So wait yoy can still make things out of the grid?

[raven rover]

Yeah

Lemme get a pic

[soft fulcrum]

Huhhh okay i havent tried that before idk i just feel the camera angles will be very difficult if i were to go bigger than the grid allows

[raven rover]

the mod has a optional camera extender too

[soft fulcrum]

Bro what that vette is absolitely crazy

Oh could you possibly send me the link by chance

[raven rover]

Front one is mine , back one is @/sorri

[raven rover]

Sure

[soft fulcrum]

Cause this migjt just honestly be my slowness to realize things are actually working how theyre supposed to

[raven rover]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3835?tab=files

its the bottom file

[blazing pelican]

my soon-to-be squadron (looking for s class pilots) and my B2

[smoky flax]

Wait...those are already crafted ships. Smart. You managed t work out how to work around the limitation of having four of the same ship in your squadron. Good work.

[blazing pelican]

thank you my man, i did some research before but unfortunately, i wasnt fast enough and one dude flew away after we traded so i'll have to find the fitting parts again

[smoky flax]

If something like that happens again reload your restore point and try again. You can jump in and out of the ship before you trade it away to create a restore point and if something like that goes wrong you can reload and try again without losing the ship.

[blazing pelican]

i'll keep it in mind, thank you

[smoky flax]

There is another trick too. Once you recruit a pilot to your squadron he'll fly off with your ship but if you're patient and wait he'll fly back and you can trade his original ship back to him but this will not change the ship you recruited to your squadron and then you have your ship back AND it is still in your squadron.

But you have to go for another race of pilot to put that same ship in your squadron a second time. So it's not useful in you want the squadron full of a single race of pilots. And you can only have three of the same ship in your squadron that way.

It is better to craft identical looking ships for each squadron slot but if one of them is really good then you can keep it too.

[tranquil hedge]

can you use short teleporter with corvette? did anyone got them working

[raven rover]

No

But mods make em work

[tranquil hedge]

really? which

👀

[raven rover]

Exosolar

The base building on corvette mod

[tranquil hedge]

oh damn, so if other players who try teleporter on your ship and dont have the mod it wont work then?

[raven rover]

Itll probably still work

Since it just adds the original base teleporter

[tranquil hedge]

so how do you build it then, in game with the build menu and it'll just work? or is did they add a separate teleporter in build menu one that works and keep the one that doesnt too?

[raven rover]

the latter one

Im not that sure tbh

Ive just heard that the modded one works

Never tried it out myself

[tranquil hedge]

im gonna have to find out myself

🚪 emoji update better make teleporter work

[raven rover]

does the vanilla ver have the teleport cable?

[tranquil hedge]

I cant say actually but I'd guess yes

[jovial mason]

Just finished furnishings my vette and realized i forgot to remove the launch platform 😭

[remote crypt]

Yes

[raven rover]

it doesnt work in vanilla right?

[remote crypt]

Also correct

[raven rover]

aightt

[small plaza]

Make ships that will crash lesser computers

There is no way to reliably place the corvette at specific place near the base yet?

I hope we'll get mooring points sooner or later.

[idle ore]

maybe in 1-2 years 😛

[marble summit]

I hope the update lets you build a corvette landing pad

[fair pilot]

Landing pad or mooring point, yeah.

There is no way to make an exit sideways on corvette except glitching/ofsetting?

Airlock could be perfect...

[mild pecan]

how she look?

[winged thunder]

She's gorgeous

[mild pecan]

learned the side cockpit part trick from Space Engineers long time ago

[chilly valve]

@raven rover we need to park yours next to my new one

[mild pecan]

who?

[chilly valve]

zycrom

[mild pecan]

aigh

[chilly valve]

your ship there looks awesome , you just might not see it if you park next to me 😄

[raven rover]

im not at home rn 😔

Will do later

[chilly valve]

brotherman it doesnt fit on the screen

[raven rover]

😭

heres an old pic, streamlined the front part a bit more

And added more windows

[chilly valve]

looks epic , ive been adding all these new parts to this one

[raven rover]

And thickened up that lower section

[raven rover]

The turbine cowling is such a good part omg

[raven rover]

Is it 3 hangars?

Or 2 and a half?

[chilly valve]

uhh

[raven rover]

4?

[chilly valve]

ya 2 and a half

[raven rover]

Oh

[chilly valve]

i mean dude its already so much ship lmfao

[raven rover]

btw now i know how good a internal bay is

[raven rover]

LMAO

I actually cut the length on mine too

It was exactly 3 hangars long

Figured it looks like shit

[fair pilot]

Oh, another "want to" is half-hub or half-joint.

[chilly valve]

this has an internal hangar

[raven rover]

Siiick

You gotta see mine later

But im still figuring out how to get in that internal hangar of mine

[fair pilot]

man tried to build a corvette, accidentally built a freighter...

[chilly valve]

not quite a freighter but its bigger then a frigate 😄

[raven rover]

That whole front part is hollow

[chilly valve]

oh jesus

thats so much space for activities

[raven rover]

But its so high up that i cant connect it to the lower entrance and cockpit without going up 6 flights of stairs

Which i HATE

[chilly valve]

oof ya we need doors / elevators

[raven rover]

So i compromised and just put a entrance at the yellow arrow

[raven rover]

So real

Or just vertical ladders tbh

[chilly valve]

dude the engine naciles alone on this are 6x6 , hollow with power generators inside them

[raven rover]

Siickk af

[chilly valve]

er hmm , 6 x 9

[raven rover]

If only we have an bigger kineostream

[chilly valve]

nah , these are perfect

[raven rover]

I think i need those

So is the front part open?

Or just closed with an internal open space?

[chilly valve]

one sec

[raven rover]

Oh right new parts

Im excited to find out

[chilly valve]

its fantastic

wraps around

[raven rover]

OH WHATTTT????

THANK FUCKING GOD

[chilly valve]

ya

you see them there

[raven rover]

HOLY SHIT

[chilly valve]

those are speedbird cowling filler
