nms-corvette-discussion

[cobalt flame]

Well, almost. You suggested to strip it barebone and then sell it. But he can't since it won't save the stripping edits.

[shadow crown]

I tend to refine such things, yknow, for the nanites

[glad nest]

We meant the same thing I just didn't convey it correctly!!

[shadow crown]

Not like the expedition was hard in a barebones corvette anyway

[cobalt flame]

I have more than enough nanites on my main save, so I stock up on tainted metal for my expeditions.

[willow lichen]

So there’s a thing where duplicating an atlas wing piece can turn it vertically

[swift mist]

aeron wing?

[willow lichen]

Ye

[swift mist]

you can just rotate it manually to make it vertical

[shadow crown]

I play with all costs enabled, so the 50k cost for popping a multitool to S, or the 85k cost for building up a corvette isn't not noticeable

[glad nest]

It does that naturally

[willow lichen]

Huh. I wasn’t aware of that

[swift mist]

yeah it's a unique trait it has that the other wings don't

[glad nest]

Neither was I till I was building my full Aeron ship. The engines do the same thing

[warm mantle]

I just hope we get extended interiors or scalable parts for corvettes imagine the potential

[shadow crown]

Yeah I think the vertical-capability (with regards to rotation specifically) is what the patch notes were alluding to with "vertical parts"

Bit disappointing, imo, because it really isn't that much verticallity, but whatever

[swift mist]

i think they're talking about the rim pieces there

[cobalt flame]

Me too. I only switch to free when building a corvette. When done, I switch back to normal.

[shadow crown]

Regardless, not a ton of verticality in the new pieces--though technically, "any" is more than what was already there so I see why they mentioned it for hype

[swift mist]

yeah hopefully that option can be added to already existing parts

[shadow crown]

I was hoping it'd be something like a... 2x1 piece, or whatever, or unlocking rotation on other pieces (like Smyrk just said)

[shadow crown]

having to not waste 2 1x1 walkways for extending upwards, for example, could be nice

and then they'd have a reason to make vertical movement within the corvette better. Not that the existing staircases are good, so that should be reason enough, but eh

[glad nest]

I prefer the staircases compaired to a ladder like Starfield did.

[shadow crown]

Sure, but lets not pretend the staircases are great

[warm mantle]

I always slip atleast once trying to go up on them

[left depot]

why does it say these ain't connected to anything. their clearly connected to something

[glad nest]

I slip too

[shadow crown]

When the usability discussion for staircases includes, 95% of the time, "hey just rotate these barricades onto them lol"

[warm mantle]

Want them to give the staircases railings with hitboxes because i know my clumsy self will always slip and slide trying to move up on them haha

[glad nest]

Then people will comlain about them being too much in the way HAHA!

[cobalt flame]

I hate stairs with a passion. Which the technology in this game, it should be possible to get teleport pads instead of clumsy stairs!

[balmy cedar]

Love me the stairs

But teleporters would rock

[shadow crown]

oh if only short ranged teleporters worked on corvettes

[limpid karma]

theyre

theyre just a little buggy rn i had the same thing happen to me with a different atlas part

[warm mantle]

Best solution for staircases is to give us 2 options 1 is the current staircase and 2 a double/wider staircase

Me personally ill stick with 1 floor corvettes

[balmy cedar]

2 floor at most

Biggest I made was 5

[warm mantle]

I can’t imagine regularly using 5 floor corvettes with the current staircases

[edgy geyser]

mines uh

6

i think

my white base

[balmy cedar]

It's not bad

Just make them so they loop

[edgy geyser]

its just annoying ngl

having to climb all those stairs

[balmy cedar]

Yea

[hexed thicket]

Tried to make an Aeron-looking corvette with the aeron parts... definitely needs work, heh.

[balmy cedar]

But that is kinda realistic

I mean. The freighters presumably have a crew section, etc with stairs that we can't see

[limpid karma]

i made a cool ship with atlas parts

[warm mantle]

The thing we really need is a planetary scanner module for corvettes

[limpid karma]

the problem is you cant use that many

[warm mantle]

Because I don’t wanna summon my freighter just to scan a system

[limpid karma]

all of the parts are trying to be the main character

[balmy cedar]

An all in one

[limpid karma]

keep it lowkey

or centralized

[edgy geyser]

lowkey my ass, that shit is YELLOW

[balmy cedar]

Orange

[limpid karma]

i mean the use of atlas parts

[glad nest]

I did the same

[hexed thicket]

Then why not just travel in the freighter?

[balmy cedar]

I need to make an evil looking ship

[edgy geyser]

i knew that

[shadow crown]

Perhaps. However, teleporters exist on the freighter between hangar and bridge... also, the game doesn't care about realism. It has a standard for verisimilitude which it (at least loosely) adheres to, but nothing about this game is realistic

[warm mantle]

Because you can’t drive a freighter towards a planet after scanning

[balmy cedar]

True

[shadow crown]

Imagine, though

[edgy geyser]

being able to pilot a freighter would be so tuff

[balmy cedar]

You can't?

[edgy geyser]

why cant i slam my dreadnought into some poor civilian

[warm mantle]

Ramming into the planets with my freighter will go crazy

[shadow crown]

It'd probably brick the game instantly, piloting one

[limpid karma]

the point is though, the atlas parts are too unique to use for a whole ship idea

[balmy cedar]

I'm on Xbox and I can scan and move my corvette at the same time

[shadow crown]

There's been a few posts here which use them a lot

[hexed thicket]

Like if you're scanning a system whole you're probably looking for something. Which means you're scanning many systems until you get there. Might as well use the excuse to travel in the freighter.

[limpid karma]

im not a fan of how most people use them tbh

[balmy cedar]

I would love to figure out what to use the new atlas parts for

[shadow crown]

that

[glad nest]

My entire ship is made of the Aeron parts

[shadow crown]

is the joy of customization

[balmy cedar]

Might pimp some of my ships out

[shadow crown]

and me fucking up and hitting the enter key with my pinky

I've seen some things posted that I think are obnoxious and generally quite ugly

I just won't build them

[limpid karma]

yeah u gotta chill out man

no offense but it looks not that good

bad even

[shadow crown]

What if he likes them

[balmy cedar]

I'll probably use some of those new atlas parts on this

[limpid karma]

thats why he made it

not saying u cant like it

just that i dont

[shadow crown]

You're saying "you gotta chill out"

[glad nest]

I like them. That's why everyones choice of design makes everything unique apart from everyone else.

[hexed thicket]

To be fair to my attempt at it, I was more focused on using ALL of the aeron parts, than getting just something that looks neat. :P

[limpid karma]

yeah

[shadow crown]

which implies that he's overusing them... except he likes them, so why would he not use them

[balmy cedar]

Anyone ever make a millenium falcon?

[shadow crown]

havent seen one here but I swear one was in the ship contest on reddit

[swift mist]

no it's never been done before. not once since the corvette update came out

[limpid karma]

i think youre looking for an argument man, i didnt mean anything by it

[balmy cedar]

I made one

[hexed thicket]

I think the pillar is the most weird and unwieldy part of the aeron set. Even moreso than the wings.

[glad nest]

I did see one on the Anomaly the other day. Looked terrible even though I recognized it!

[balmy cedar]

But it doesn't look right

The game named it too

[shadow crown]

true

impossible to do

"has anyone ever..."
probably, yeah

[swift mist]

just like how no one tries to make star wars ships

[hexed thicket]

It's huge and it's got that nice little hole in the center, but doesn't have any snap points in it so you can't put anything in there. And it acts like a decorative, so no manual rotation either, like you can with the blade.

[balmy cedar]

Sarcasm?

[shadow crown]

People love using offsets to place in the middle

[swift mist]

yessir

i don't mean it as an insult to your ship though

[limpid karma]

no he meant it man

[shadow crown]

I think the issue with so many "3rd party" designs from other media, and the reason your ship looks off, is basically down to scale

its really hard to do things when we're constrained to the same "block" scale that we have

[balmy cedar]

The scale is actually correct in that case

[limpid karma]

i think the pictures dont show what it really looks like

[hexed thicket]

Sure, but, so far as we know the game isn't designed for all the glitch-building people are doing. It's not intended to be used with the offset-build, so what is it supposed to be used for?

[shadow crown]

I mean we don't have the ability to literally scale parts

[balmy cedar]

It's the one IGN made

[shadow crown]

Mate I have zero confidence that the devs don't know about all of the glitch building and say "well we don't need to do a better corvette editor then, do we?"

[pine inlet]

hi! I've build a corvette. how to enter?

[shadow crown]

door

[limpid karma]

ign??

[shadow crown]

well, ramp, more specifically

or elevator, if you've installed that one

The "accessway"

[balmy cedar]

The horrible "game journalist," site

[cobalt flame]

And if only the SRT's were just pads on the floor and not clip into the hab above it.

[balmy cedar]

Also

LAAT

[pine inlet]

what button should I press?

[limpid karma]

1

[shadow crown]

Uh, the interact button

I dunno what you're interfacing with your electrified box of rocks minerals with

[balmy cedar]

If you're on Xbox press X

On playstation Square

[pine inlet]

I mean, I've built a carvett, it is here. Fully constructed, but I see no interactive elements on the things. Only hutch

[balmy cedar]

On PC? No idea

E I think

[shadow crown]

hutch?

ah fuck sakes

[balmy cedar]

Hutch?

[shadow crown]

discord

[limpid karma]

reply fail

[shadow crown]

hutch?

[hexed thicket]

If you've built it correctly, the doors are open when it's on the ground, and you can just walk up the ramp.
If it's not built correctly, make sure your cockpit, hab, and accessway/ramp are placed attached to each other, and try again.

[balmy cedar]

What's the little paddock for small animals have to do with anything?

Hutch

[cobalt flame]

Look for Starsky

[shadow crown]

That's where I keep my baby corvettes. freshly hatched

[balmy cedar]

Ah

I keep mine in wherever optimus prime's trailer goes

[pine inlet]

I'm not a corvett engineer, I don't have any idea how to "placed correctly", I've just used green areas to verify if possition is correct. For me, it seems correct.

[shadow crown]

Show us a picture of this hutch

[pine inlet]

it is here

[balmy cedar]

Ask and ye shall recieve

[shadow crown]

It would appear you have a medusa reactor inside your accessway

[balmy cedar]

The same place as Optimus Prime's trailer goes

[hexed thicket]

If you can't walk up the ramp and into the interior, then it's not built correctly. This follows from the notion that you can do it if it is built correctly.

[glad nest]

And someone wanted to tell me to chill out on the build LOL

[hexed thicket]

From your screenshot, the problem is that you've placed the reactor inside the hab. While logic would dictate that a reactor goes inside the corvette, logic and this game do not always go hand in hand. The reactor is a module that goes on the corvette, not into its interior.

[pine inlet]

ok, what is the correct way? how to verify if I place the particular module in order? green color is not a marker or correctness, as I understand

[shadow crown]

For future reference: Green indicates solely that it can be placed there, not that it should

[glad nest]

Do not place ANY parts in the habs while you are building the exterior of the corvette!

[cobalt flame]

I stole it....

[balmy cedar]

SPACE TRUKKIN'

And best of all

[hexed thicket]

There are degrees of correctness. As mentioned above, green only indicates that something can be placed there. Whether or not something should be placed there, is up to the builder. In your case, you should consider that you need a space you can walk through inside the corvette, to get to its controls. A reactor is not something you can walk through, hence it should be removed from the interior of the corvette and placed elsewhere.

[balmy cedar]

No OSHA or DOT

[balmy cedar]

Correctness is subjective

[pine inlet]

I think I'm done with building corvets 😄 this process became an unresolvable puzzle, thanks

[balmy cedar]

Not really

1 or 2 landing gear, 2 engines, a cockpit, hab and a door

That's all you need IMO

[swift mist]

is there anything in the interior of those habs that make up the trailer?

[shadow crown]

Probably a lot of fridges for his energy drink storage (prime joke)

[swift mist]

just move this part somewhere else

[balmy cedar]

I think I'll make a funny ship

I made the Milano already

[hexed thicket]

Actually wait I know what's going on. It's not a reactor inside the hab, it's a reactor instead of the hab. The Medusa has an attach point on the back that a ramp will snap to.

[cobalt flame]

Yes, it's fully decorated. Lower ones are filled with storage. 3 layers of living space and the front section is filled with reactors/guns/shield generators.

[balmy cedar]

I easily fill my ships

[pine inlet]

nothing happening when I place this shit above or below

[hexed thicket]

So move the reactor elsewhere, and attach the ramp directly to the hab.

[balmy cedar]

Mass groweries for Nip-Nip

[edgy geyser]

you should make a musai from gundam

[edgy geyser]

my freighter is like that

[balmy cedar]

Eh. I like gundam but eh

[edgy geyser]

think about the curves

[balmy cedar]

I'm more of a Klingon Bird of Prey kinda guy

[edgy geyser]

or even a papua

[lethal lotus]

i wonder if something like this would be possible

[balmy cedar]

Little hard

[swift mist]

then move it somewhere else because above and below there is already another part there

[balmy cedar]

I wanted to try doing the Arcada from Captain Harlock

But....

The Skull is Beyond me

[edgy geyser]

is that an arizona class?

[lethal lotus]

it's the Super Andromeda

[edgy geyser]

the hell is that?

[edgy geyser]

real

[glad nest]

That's a Bird of Prey haha

[edgy geyser]

oh mb, i havent actually watched SBY ngl

[balmy cedar]

Klingon Bird of Prey

[swift mist]

i like the expedition decals. reminds me of those people that place stickers on their rear windows of the national parks they've visited

[balmy cedar]

You've never seen Star Trek?

[edgy geyser]

nah

im sane

[balmy cedar]

Sane people can watch it

The old 60s one is pretty decent

[edgy geyser]

name 100 sane people that watch it

[balmy cedar]

100?

[edgy geyser]

yh

[balmy cedar]

Alright

[cobalt flame]

Or rally's they drove their cars with.

[glad nest]

It's an age thing just let him be ignorant about it lol!

[balmy cedar]

Yeah

I won't write 100 names

[edgy geyser]

ngl

[balmy cedar]

John Smith

[hot coral]

new corvette i made with custom engine

[balmy cedar]

That's common enough

[edgy geyser]

i wanted to wtach it at one point, but didnt know where to start

[balmy cedar]

The 60s one

The Orignal series as it's called

Then Next Gen

[edgy geyser]

a

[balmy cedar]

The rest are mid

Oh

The movies, only the Even numbered ones are decent

Wrath of Khan rocks

But that's beyond cool ships

[cobalt flame]

Classic Bird of Prey is awesome.

[balmy cedar]

Here's the arcadia from Captain Harlock

The skull on the front confounds me

[edgy geyser]

ah ok

[balmy cedar]

Same creator as Space Battleship Yamato

[edgy geyser]

GOD ITS A SEXY SHIP!

i would die for captain harlock

[balmy cedar]

It's from a classic anime

I'm a bit of a mediaphile. I love all sorts of media

Sound, cinema, television

[swift mist]

oh, you like media? name every piece of media

[balmy cedar]

I did

Movies, television, sound, analog,

books

Yeah that's about it

Oh

IG pixels on a screen and vidya games

Yeah

[lapis latch]

I've been trying to make a corvette look som' even remotely close to this and I can't. I am actively losing my mind

[balmy cedar]

Good luck

Those centrifuges might be hard

[lapis latch]

yeah, that's my main problem

I even got the front like, disk part but not the toruses

[swift mist]

flat panels and free rotations might get you close

[glass surge]

Don't people make ships in blender and just import it into game?

[edgy geyser]

ik it is

[small plaza]

Any new corvette updates? Been a while since I checked

[balmy cedar]

Because not everyone is on PC

[balmy cedar]

New parts

Slightly less buggy in multiplayer

[primal lava]

Yeah but the new Aeron Blade is having issues in one orientation for me where its faces are interred for some reason

[cyan basin]

new parts bring new features

[primal lava]

Did you end up getting out?

[cyan basin]

yes

[cobalt flame]

There's an update coming out for that soon. Should be out on PC already.

[primal lava]

Yippee I can't wait for it to be out on console where I am

[balmy cedar]

Are there any gameplay diffs on PC compared to Xbox?

Or is that more of a Main Chat kinda question?

[cobalt flame]

Probably Monday on console.

[primal lava]

That is more of a main chat kinda question but either way it's probably just performance and input method like it is for most games

[edgy geyser]

idk

i got the new stuff on pc through the xbox app (i love gamepass)

[raven rover]

mainly on the controller

But absolutely no difference

Game-wise

(Even pc can use controllers too)

[shadow crown]

Technically there's the difference re: update schedules, as gamepass will sync w/ xbox and not steam's schedule (so there's currently a version mismatch between the two, and xbox/gamepass got the expedition [and update as a whole] a day? or so later) but yeah otherwise they should be quite comparable

[balmy cedar]

Basically the same? Cool

Aside from needing gamepass to use the basic multiplayer parts

[dim kite]

Hey my freighter frigates won’t go on expeditions after the first one

I can’t figure it out

But when I go take to the captain all it does it says scan but it doesn’t

[main latch]

peak

[topaz hazel]

anyone else built a mercury star runner? I'm curious to see someone elses design on it

[supple pond]

Plays really good on PC when using controller, especially with dualsense because haptic triggers, even with that very small difference

I hate the soft aim assist it comes with :(

[raven rover]

sad that i cant really play nms with a conttoller

Idk why my nms just doesnt want to read my controllers consistently

and im alr used to k&m 😭

switching after 900 hrs feels weird af

[supple pond]

Do you use any third party software.. or disabled steaminput-

[raven rover]

An update bricked it

A patch fixed it

But i kinda just...

never tried it again

[supple pond]

I remember the first voyagers release broke all kind of controllers and it mapped all keybinds randomly

[raven rover]

Yeah that was the update that bricked mine

gleam said that i should try controller for better flying

[cursive lark]

Yeah I play with a controller on PC and like 75% of the time the have just didn't think it existed

[raven rover]

But i cant even move my analogue stick 😭

[cursive lark]

Yes controller is great for flying

[raven rover]

Yeah i tried it for a bit and i liked it

[supple pond]

Tried community presets?

[raven rover]

But the rest of the menu...

Im too far to be changing how i play

If only i played with a controller from the start

Like monster hunter, i CANNOT play that with a m&k

Bcs i started with a controller

[raven rover]

I did! After a patch it fixed the controller thing

But i just cant get used to it

[supple pond]

:p

Last year's Steam replay I played 93% of games with controller '-'

[raven rover]

how do i check this?

Im curious

[supple pond]

On the left corner :p

[raven rover]

Oh thanks

39% k&m
61% controller

[supple pond]

Definetely "unimployed"

[sour herald]

only enough parts to build one, so wich one to chose?

[edgy geyser]

Its so much easier

Kbm is ass for flight

[remote cape]

The 1st one with the straight line SC slots has slightly better starting stats. Might go with that one.

[raven rover]

PACIFIC FUCKIN DRIIIVEEEEEEEE

[raven rover]

Yeap

[raven rover]

Im used to it 😭

[edgy geyser]

Lol, im getting to that point, nms with stick drift is actual ball torsion

[raven rover]

ball torsion

😭

[raven rover]

Its out??

[plucky herald]

hello i got a question again, will i be able to keep my corvette once the expedition is over?

[swift mist]

if you started the expedition from an existing save, you can copy your expedition corvette over once you complete it

[plucky herald]

🙏 i started it from my save thankfully

thank youu

[supple pond]

Yesh, DLC is already out

[brave frost]

2 corvette inspirational designs, which one seems more pursuable?

[trail hornet]

prob the first one but idk

[brave frost]

both look hard to do know?

wanna see the blueprint?

[trail hornet]

yeah fr and yeah sure

[brave frost]

@trail hornet

[trail hornet]

jesus okay

[brave frost]

yes

[trail hornet]

goodness

[brave frost]

i believe it will take well about 8 months

[trail hornet]

dayum

you got it tho

i believe in ya

[brave frost]

i dont believe in myself

xD

jking

why did i signup for this

[glass surge]

Because you're more than meets the eye?

[still edge]

Do you guys hide the shield modules inside your ship

[shadow wraith]

As much as I can

Sadly, it sometimes doesn't connect, and it just gives out parts not being connected

[mystic canopy]

the aeron ones look nice so i dont hide them

[still edge]

It sticks out like a sore thumb on mine unfortunately

It makes a nice prop for the interior tho

[shadow wraith]

Glitching reactors inside habs are also a thing

[still edge]

Ohh

Im trynna make my corvette like mobile base tho so I use a lot of the hab space

[shadow wraith]

I woud do that if habs behaved like Freighter tech rooms

[raven rover]

I dont even use em😭

Freedom is the right of all sentient beings

Till all are one.

So yea you think the Ark and Nemesis is possible to make in No mans sky?

[glass surge]

ArK possibly Nemisis no idea

[brave frost]

Nemesis is a deathwish not gonna lie

its so hard

look, this is somewhat similar to the ark

@glass surge

this can be nemesis

xD

[glass surge]

ArK i imagine would be bigger; The Corvette Build area is max 8 normal habs length wise and i imagine the same width wise, though that is unmodded

[brave frost]

someone made this. Zycrom made it

looks amazing ngl

[golden tundra]

No bad for a first try 😅
I don't understand the damage bit, the number is so low and yet my cyclotron PDP shielded is twice and my sentinel
I have no more space but managed to get everything, a bunch of reactor, a bunch of shield and manage to hide them all.
The techs position is giving me the highest number possible.

It had to be "small" and agile

Damage is 10/10 but the manoeuv is beautiful, it is better than my sentinel.
I am happy with this design, won't be changing it anytime soon

[wicked osprey]

greetings, how do I get rid of a previously installed photon cannon? I tried Save Editor to delete it but it is coming back?!?!?

[tame patio]

You cyclotron DPS is high, but my photon cannon with the damage boost reaches 17k DPS.

Though not as high as the shields DPS.

It's nearly 18k actually.

[golden tundra]

I am too bias to talk about cyclotron, I have so much fun with it.
I know it is not a popular opinion, folks prefer infra knife but it IMHO hits like butter, weak asf against shield, I am not talking about hacking and glitch.
I have phase beam as secondary weapon, it is already.

[tame patio]

It is, both cyclotron and infra knife have their strong points and weak points, I just use photon as I focused too much on the module as I used the sentinel cannon on my interceptor. Sure I could go cyclotron and rockets and turn everyone into nope.

I also didn't want the one useless photon cannon like all other corvettes at the moment. It really needs to be removable.

[worthy ice]

Anyone got cool aeron part main corvette idea?

[worthy ice]

jesus christ, you got like tutorial for that?

[golden tundra]

Cyclotron is really only 10 against shield and Dreadnought, once pirates shield is down you need something else, phase beam has been awesome for that.
I was using sentinels cannon, even tho its damage is meh, it takes age to overheat which ends making it pretty strong.
I might try it on my corvette

[glass surge]

That is heavily and i do mean heavily modded

I devoted too much to photon with the 3 X class having the best bonus.

[golden tundra]

I might give it a try since we cannot remove it anyway, it is taking one tech slot for nothing

[worthy ice]

who got aeron corvette design

(For daily use)

[plucky herald]

is this a corvette as well? damn can they get this big

[golden tundra]

2 things I learned with corvette already, once the ship is built, some part cannot be removed lol
Like if I wanted to move the reactors or shield, I would need to delete a lot to be able to do that.
Also, repeat with me: I will never teleport to my bases with corvette!!! WTF is happening there, I had to reload the save lmao 🤣

[mystic canopy]

i put chairs inside my corvette so if i get stuck like that i sit in the chairs to unstuck

[golden tundra]

I was stuck under my corvette without being able to get in or go to the ground, at least it didn't auto saved or I would be so screwed.
Before visiting my bases ( to collect the mining resources ), I will swap to my sentinel. I don't wanna get stuck for good

[exotic spruce]

My google-fu is failing me, but is there a way to glitch force a part to be next to it's flipped part? Item in specific Wings of Aeron I want to flip it and using offset building place two next to each other but I can't. Any ideas?

[swift mist]

there is

place habs in this sequence, delete all the others once #4 is down, and you can place the part down where #1 was

works with wings and engines

the engines that attach to the sides

[dull ivy]

my 3rd corvette after the update

[exotic spruce]

thanks, trying it now - going to fail until I get it and not pester with further questions. 🙂

OMG I love you. THANK YOU!

[swift mist]

no problem

i found that out by accident

you can't go from hab #1 to #4 directly

probably because the wing is taking up #1's snapping point on that side

so you just have to navigate around it

[exotic spruce]

Yeah part placement is wonky - sometimes I think it's one or two rogue programmers on the dev team that add these features that would cause problems if they fully fixed the bugs / button complexity and don't include them in documentation so if they break in the future it's not a bug, it's a feature (especially the rockhopper and cargo link offsetting).

[golden tundra]

My corvette ended the way it look coz some part I couldn't rotate at all, I didn't wanna open the glitch pandora box, it would be cool if they prioritise improving the building process instead of adding new parts.

[swift mist]

what's the pandora's box

there's no gameplay advantage to be gained

it's purely cosmetic

[exotic spruce]

art department and development, there's some overlap but parts are just polygons - the psyics should be universal. "It just works!" - Todd Howard

[golden tundra]

I meant that I didn't wanna get into the glitch madness, I saw some videos and holy guacamole, nah
I built mine based on what the parts allow me to do with them without glitch.
It is my first corvette so I didn't wanna make the process boring, it was actually cool but improvements are required ASAP

[exotic spruce]

the decorating may have low priority metrics and HG may just be honestly surprised that people are into the design so much - I know I've put days into this part of the game alone designing ships while the silent majority just like flying around in their regular spaceships and doing exploration. (sorry for wall of text response)

[swift mist]

all you need is offsets it tremendously makes parts usage more versatile

the default grid is too limited i agree with you there

[golden tundra]

These parts here, you have no idea how insane was to rotate it
it would rotate to every direction known to man but the one I needed 🤦

[swift mist]

it's kinda hard to see how since it's already fully built

[golden tundra]

On console, you have the usual LT, LB, RT, RB
LT is used to change left and right while LB and RB rotate the parts, for some reason they were doing the same action, changing it left, right.

[swift mist]

oh I won't fully understand then unless I build with a controller

I'm on mouse and keyboard

[golden tundra]

I noticed this with base building also, sometimes you have to change the camera angle to "trigger" extra angle. It is weird, anyway

[swift mist]

I noticed when I was building a ship with someone using a controller, the behavior with snap points was different from* when i was placing parts down

we were building the exact same ship too and we were screensharing

[golden tundra]

"but it works here" "well, it doesn't here" I can just picture the scene 🤣

[swift mist]

yeah i was confused

[leaden lantern]

where do I place this to get it somewhat boosted charged or can't you?

[brave frost]

Nah,found one for this

[worthy ice]

That's still nice, through I started to assemble my very own corvette lmao

[brave frost]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kSGqA6BGKU&list=LL&index=1&t=1530s

it takes about 30 mins

but 4 hours for some

for resources

[brave frost]

oh

nice

send a pic

[golden tundra]

I had to place mine exactly here, otherwise, the manoeuv was reduce by almost 50%
My cockpit has manoeuv so I had to place it close to that reactor which has manoeuv also.
Check what values yours have, I spent ages moving things around until I got the best values.

[leaden lantern]

ahhh okay, thank you!

[brave frost]

i dont know why i think that's a dreadnaught

[golden tundra]

corvette parts positioning is a whole another beast, it is insane how moving one tech a slot away can go up or down by 50%
I didn't expect a simple cockpit position to have such impact on the manoeuv

[plucky herald]

i remember a friend of mine saying smth like hovering the corvette and teleporting on the ground, so you can tp back to corvette later on. Am i delusional or is something like that exist?

[mild stratus]

If you place 3 medusas before your cockpit you'll have better maneuverability

[ocean spire]

Sometimes you only get 2 medusas sadly

[hexed thicket]

Next to a Nebula reactor is about the only way besides an overcharge slot.

[leaden lantern]

yeah I just added more parts and somehow that lowered my damage by a solid 50 but none of the original parts linked changed so now im confused 😂

what I'm currently working with but idk, bit of a noob at this corvette part shenanigan

[sand vapor]

Does anyone know how the new expedition corvet parts work? Can you get more in the normal game once you unlock them?

[golden tundra]

I got 2x Azimuth reactor for its launch cost, fuel efficiency and auto charge, I got 2x ceto reactor for its shield strength and 1x medusa.

I knew I could play around to increase my manouev and boost.

[golden tundra]

Awesome, that makes both of us 🤣
So why I was playing around until I couldn't get better values

[exotic spruce]

Moar wings

[leaden lantern]

well I got my maneuverability up from 300 to 500

[hexed thicket]

Yes. You have to claim them at the quicksilver vendor at the anomaly, then you can build them at any point. You can bring some of the parts you got on the expedition with you, and those will work, but unless you claim the rewards you won't be able to use the aeron parts after those run out. You need pugneum and some other materials to build them.

By the way, did anyone else notice that some of the new non-Aeron parts are missing from the build screen unless you have them in inventory?

[sand vapor]

So they become available to build anytime multiple times and cost some particular resources, is that it?

[hexed thicket]

The little pointy fuel cap cowlings were one I noticed.

[leaden lantern]

so I added more reactors which increased my maneuverability but it added another supcharge slot, still confused on how I lost damage output, is it due to having another supercharge slot?

[hexed thicket]

Once you claim them, yes. I was confused for a while because they started disappearing from my build screen, but it turned out I forgot to actually claim the rewards.

[supple portal]

What is the maximum number of thrusters that can be active on my Corvette, meaning how many can have a starship trail?”
What determines, in the raw JSON code, which thrusters are used? Is it the first thrusters in the code that get used, or the last placed thrusters?

[jade cedar]

has someone recreated any ships from FTL yet

the kestrel is an obvious one but what about the lanius ships

[exotic spruce]

@hexed thicket Also some (very few) items may drop during the expedition or on the corvette trader that you simply can't place because they don't show up in the build menu (even with mods disabled). I bought a paddle icon external cargo piece I was going to see if I could place and it wasn't in the menu.

[hexed thicket]

...wait, is that how the game spells "maneuverability"? Or is that british spelling?

[exotic spruce]

I think that's british

or maybe Atlas is closer than 16 minutes from... ya know... on my computer

[leaden lantern]

@hexed thicket @golden tundra thanks for the tip, moving stuff around my maneuverability is now up to 700 😂

[hexed thicket]

The cargo box thing being bugged is an old issue. It drops from salvage too, but never shows up.

[hoary agate]

HG is a UK studio so probably 😂

[leaden lantern]

figured out my damage issue absolute idiot moment, I uninstalled my rockets to move stuff around and never put them back 😂

[golden tundra]

So errr, I'm replacing phase beam with photon cannon since its there taking a space anyway, I installed only one Class-S tech and it seems to be already higher than phase beam with all upgrades installed.

Is photon cannon bugged or something?! 😅

[tame patio]

I don't know, what is it's DPS?

[golden tundra]

8795 dps but I still need to install the 3rd upgrade 👀

[tame patio]

Dang, it's not bad, I don't know if the photon cannon is bugged but depending on if the pre equipped one is modified to have better stats than a normal ship photon cannons or the amount of guns allow it to get a higher DPS could play a part.

[golden tundra]

WTF?
Photon Cannon 11.324 DPS
This cannot be right haha
Let me check this again

[exotic spruce]

Uh.... stupid corvette question... were there supposed to be crewmembers you could bring on the corvette or am I conflating frighters with corvettes?

[mystic canopy]

there's no npc crewmembers on corvette

[mortal kernel]

Anyone here selling their corvette

[exotic spruce]

Roger that - I thought maybe I had skipped over an RP component ever since Voyagers came out and I just didn't bother with crew (outside of trying to throw the base stations on from the campaign - the NPCs just stand at their booths on the ship and chatter)

I usually trade my corvette then salvage the regular ship to free up a slot to build more corvettes.

[mystic canopy]

i think one of the voyagers update notes mentioned something about crewmembers (and that it probably just meant real human people)

[exotic spruce]

I think that's it Bwuh, thank you!

[golden tundra]

Thank you for mentioning it, I mean, look the difference lmao

Let's gooooooo 😅

[swift mist]

test it out in a fight for a real comparison

[golden tundra]

Pirate system here we come

[tame patio]

To note, I remember the phase beam has the ability to recharge shields, but often the corvette will have lots of shields.

But more DPS means ships dead fast.

[exotic spruce]

don't need shields if the enemy dies fast - learned that from EverQuest and WoW. 🙂

[mystic canopy]

are damage potential numbers even reliable for comparing between different weapons

[swift mist]

aren't corvette phase beams still bugged too?

[mystic canopy]

i should think phase beam on corvette just instantly melts shit with all their 20%+ damage boosts

[tame patio]

If phase beams deal full DPS per beam then it would deal insane DPS. But I use photon cannon as I'm used to it.

[fair pilot]

Coolest feature of the photon cannon is that it's auto-aims.

[tame patio]

Plus I have watch the sentinel frigate health bar melt after removing it's shield.

[fair pilot]

Sometimes my infras/beam forgets that they're not auto-aiming tho, and starting to do that.

[golden tundra]

My god, what have I done 🤣

My Cycloton 47k dps is melting their shield, photon cannon 12k DPS is one shot one kill, I don't even know how to describe this Corvette lmao

@tame patio

[mild stratus]

You can have 3 of each type of reactors on your ship if you can fit them all on but generally it's advised to place medusas before the cockpit otherwise the cockpit will take up a tech slot and it's not very good but if your only using 1 medusas it will always show up in tech

[tame patio]

The DPS is more than enough to wipe out unshielded ships. Mine even goes through shields, if I choose to get a third cannon I could get more DPS from the bonus.

[atomic haven]

My cockpit would work if I had Thunderbird habs/walkways but my dumbass has ambassador

Wish there was a way to swap habs like normal build menu so we don't lose interior aspects

[tame patio]

I have a mix of thunderbird and ambassador, it's not too bad as the thunderbird works for the storage while ambassador works for living space.

[golden tundra]

I've 2x Azi, 2x ceto and 1x medusa, and I must place the cockpit attached to it or rip manoeuv

My tech slots is rip 😅

[stray galleon]

Hey ppl for corvette if I farm this one planet nonstop will I end up with all the parts or is there some parts lock behind other content

[tame patio]

You will get almost all parts, if they are locked behind an expedition then you cannot use them unless you complete the expedition.

[golden tundra]

You will end up without storage to carry them all 🤣

That is your only problem

[tame patio]

If you want to farm for parts I would go for a separate ship that is empty and uses photon and to to a planet with salvageable scrap and shoot them, it's better with a corvette as you can hop out without landing and scan.

[stray galleon]

Already feel that

Yeah I found a planet that has alot of them and I swap thru multiple ship to collect them

[tame patio]

The best planets I think are the airless planets as there are no oceans and plants for you don't get unnecessary junk like carbon.

Once you fill up head back to the space station and put them in the cache and repeat.

[stray galleon]

Sadly this is a grassy planet but it mostly flat which I want

[tame patio]

As long as it doesn't have oceans as you get quite a few scrap places.

[golden tundra]

Avoid the little ones or you will take forever, find a planet with these little bombs, it gives you at least 4 parts, 5 isn't uncommon.

I got all of this in one, avoid those little ones with 1, 2 or 3 legs holding the core. Not worth it

What sucks is storage, I had to empty my exosuit and my ship didn't have all 120 cargo so lots of trips to empty everything into my storage containers, I didn't know about the space station cache at the time

[stray galleon]

@golden tundra yeah this planet only has those yellow ones

my ship look like an obese A-wing

[golden tundra]

If they look that bomb thing, you are done, you will get so many parts fast asf

The only parts I didn't have were the landing pad and medusa reactor

[stray galleon]

wait really? the medusa reactor i got from shop

[golden tundra]

Some parts I had like dozen, others only a pair

I meant I didn't get the Medusa reactor from the bomb thing

[stray galleon]

ahhhh

[golden tundra]

The other 2 reactor azi something and zenith, won't be a problem, at least that was with my farming

[noble glacier]

Hey
What's the best way to find modules?

[golden tundra]

Hmmm I'm lost, I crossed Dreadnought for fun and photon cannon with 12k DPS is hitting it like butter, Cyclotron is vaporizing it as I'm used to 🤔

Does that mean the game thinks I'm hitting a shielded target and because I'm under the shield, Cyclotron is blasting 47k dps while photon cannon is ineffective against so its 12k is doing nothing??

Against the pirate mission was a completely different experience tho, photon cannon went brrrrr

[glass surge]

Moons with Salvageable Scrap listed in the resource list since you don't have to fly over a big planet; if the moon doesn't have a lot of salvageable scrap try a different one.
This is only if you want to farm modules and my opinion

If you can get enough units you can just buy ship parts and trade extras for the more advanced ones.

You can also just switch crafting to free and use whatever

The Atlas Aeron parts are only obtainable from Expedition 20 and they're craft able after on your main save

[raven rover]

Its a corvette and without mods it cannot get that big

[plucky herald]

ahh

[raven rover]

Thats around 2 hangars long 😭

[hexed thicket]

I think that's the best Aeron corvette I can do for now. Not sure about the longshore thruster on the underside, but it felt kinda lacking otherwise. The wings turned out to be great places to put a thruster into, but it requires an offset technique so I've once again no idea what the designers are thinking with these.

[spiral plover]

Is there a video someone could link showing how to build a tight spot for all the reactors and shields? I sure would appreciate any help there.

[hexed thicket]

Just enable free crafting and experiment. You're going to be the most proud of a janked up rickety abomination that you've figured out how to build all by yourself. :)

[slender vessel]

Which part can I use to fill this gap and not have it look weird

[hexed thicket]

Radiator cowling?

I think it's the most triangular of the bunch.

[slender vessel]

U mean casing?

[hexed thicket]

Possibly. I know it has radiator in it. :P

It's the triangular side piece with glowing red vertical slots.

[spiral plover]

You are presupposing I have not. I am looking for ideas that are better than what I have come up with. That said, thank you for your time.

[slender vessel]

Kinda works but nothing cleaner exists?
Like I don't want the hab corner to be sticking out like that

[hexed thicket]

Well that just makes it more difficult to recommend things. :P
By which I mean, I don't know of any videos that show anything beyond the common offset techniques.

[hexed thicket]

It's basically impossible to cleanly join a slant angle to a hab corner like that, I think. You could try adding a 90 degree turned section so you can overlap some side pieces on a corner, like I did with the angled engine covers (the bits above the titan thrusters) on this guy:

[slender vessel]

Ight

[hexed thicket]

Some of the new side pieces might help as well, I haven't looked into them much yet.

[raven rover]

@swift mist thanks for the major inspiration man!

feels good making smth thats normal sized

still wip but i like it

[raven rover]

this could work probably

[pseudo charm]

Mitey was SO CLOSE! Frustrated tho. Anyone have any suggestions about the front? I mean the revamp of the sides and back of the saucer are really good! Gives it depth withut blocking the cockpit. But that front.. sheesh

[raven rover]

why not use the longer ones?

[pseudo charm]

I tried. they don't come to a "point"

[pseudo charm]

I will try it again tho. I mean only 10 crashes and got this far so I am WAY happy

[raven rover]

ohhh

[pseudo charm]

more voyager and less enterprise making me happy 🙂 maybe now people will stop sayin I am flying a lil enterprise heh

@raven rover Eek. a bit too long

[mystic canopy]

anyone else notice how these new corvette parts are weirdly receptive to considering being connected, this wasnt glitch builded

now i got 2 little ships beside my main thing

[glad nest]

That's epic haha

[raven rover]

oh yeah

[mystic canopy]

(the full thing)

i imagine some really funny stuff can be done with the aeron parts just considering so much area around them as connected

[pseudo charm]

Oh dear god. can I get away with this? I mean that is way smoother than what I had before.. that onnnne little corner goin foo foo..

[weak rune]

Here's what I came out of my first expedition with naturally I called First Expedition Prize.

[pseudo charm]

@raven rover not perfectly round but heck. the front now looks solid at least. Imma live with it for a bit heh

[raven rover]

yeahh that looks decent for now

[pseudo charm]

thats the ship that I should just scrap and start all over with.. but I dun wanna hehe

[tight vault]

Had a go at making the Arcadia from the expedition

[pseudo charm]

ah so THAT is what the Arcadia looks like when assembeled! heh intrigujng captain

[slender vessel]

I tried making this corvette
Opinions / improvement areas ?

[raven rover]

honestly the back end is too square

but everything else is really good man

[slender vessel]

Lemme try tapering it to a point
I made it square cuz if it would taper then the ship would look like it skipped leg day

Or in this case thrusters day

[wary zenith]

Tried making my version of a Star Trek ship. It's called Ten Forward

[raven rover]

no need for a point tbh

just some bedazzle

[slender vessel]

?
Do you have any references?

[hexed thicket]

Just break up the straight line of the aft end. A little bit, no need going overboard. Just see about sticking some details out the rear.

[blazing nebula]

can't wrap my head arround "how to make the back less shitty"

[blazing nebula]

someone has an idea ?

[slender vessel]

Oooo
So anything to make sure the end line ain't straight

[blazing nebula]

on how to improve

[slender vessel]

Something like this

[raven rover]

change the 2 side triangular blocks to the longer ones

[blazing nebula]

like, their is 4 bloc stacks on each others, idk how to blend it with the rest of the ship

[slender vessel]

Nvm I changed the thruster to a shorter one

[hexed thicket]

It doesn't look too bad as is. Maybe see about sticking some engines into the inner wing sections, like I did on mine?

[raven rover]

or yeah that works too

[blazing nebula]

good idea i've put earon diffuser

[raven rover]

i still like the longer ones

but yeah thats better

[slender vessel]

The corvette skipped leg day 💀

[raven rover]

either flipped or like that

[blazing nebula]

a lot better, thank's for the idea, i might replace earon's one with heavy arcadia thrusters

[raven rover]

wromg position sry

[hexed thicket]

I actually meant these wing roots, but that also works.

Most rectangular thrusters fit pretty well in there, but I found these to be great.

[blazing nebula]

aah, can't fit anything in here

but here i am

and landed this thing is a beast, everything's perfect

[ebon quest]

That engine piece right there has the most stupidest Collision box

[blazing nebula]

but with these one where u told me to place it could be great, just the game who don't let me place here lmao

[blazing nebula]

tell us, what happenned ? xD

[hexed thicket]

You can't normally, you need to offset a structural piece in there.

[ebon quest]

So when I was making the shield of clouds I originally use this particular engine piece because I really did like its design but anytime I would leave my Corvette because of this thing's Collision box I would get stuck inside of my Corvette for a little bit and then have the back track so they already walk no joke 10 ft away from the engine just to go around it

And that's not even talking to many times that I wanted to just go straight to my door just to go back into my Corvette and then I have to literally walk another 10 ft around the damn thing just to get back into my Corvette because of this thing stupid Collision box

[blazing nebula]

the number of offset pieces i've made made my headache, don't wanna try more specialy here xD

if I miss click one time

i'm screwed

[blazing nebula]

I feel you lmao, this thing is the same , i gotta go around the wings if i wanna go in

gotta find a way around mate

[hexed thicket]

Just use the PC player's staunch ally, the save/load spell. :)
Finalize the corvette before making changes, and if you misclick just exit without saving and start anew.

[blazing nebula]

not dumb at all actually

[undone folio]

Hey all, long time player revisiting mainly to check out corvettes. built my starter one and was given the mission to find the first salvaged module. Said none in this system and to keep looking. A few jumps later, the mission just disappeared entirely. Googled and still not finding any info as to how I actually go about finding POIs where I can expect to find corvette modules

[lime fractal]

I hope they fix the tech slots scrambling from switching to a legacy ship back to a corvette soon. Very annoying putting things back and its been a bug since the start

[hexed thicket]

In case of the wings it's a simple enough offset, however they will fully enclose any 1x1x1 module you place in there so if you do try it use a permanent structural piece that you'll keep in there, instead of a temporary girder.

[hexed thicket]

Advice from a tired point of view: The existence of the trade system at the corvette workbench makes access to all parts a pointless grind. It's not a question of "if" you'll find a part you want, but "when" you gather enough junk to trade for it.
With that in mind, I find it more relaxing to use free crafting mode to just build what I need, and then sort out an appropriate payment with my conscience later, like destroying some valuables I could've been trading.

[hexed thicket]

As for the mission itself, just look for planets with salvageable scrap. Point at a planet, wait for the popup with its name, and hit C to scan. You'll want a planet that has "salvageable scrap" in the list of resources on the popup stat sheet.

You also get the parts randomly from various "large" loot sources like cargo pods on freighter wrecks, various derelict salvage, and destroyed enemy starships.

[undone folio]

Ah, okay, so this is where I think that mission disappearing on me left me lacking info. So "salvagable scrap" tagged planets are the ones where I can find corvette modules (because that tag has been around before corvetts)? Are there any specific POIs associated with that, or just look for scrap indicators in scans when I'm one the surface? And I did notice that it seemed like you could just trade whatever junk modules you find for the ones you want, but that still requires finding modules, yes? Assuming you can't trade the basic modules you can purchase for the advanced ones, yeah?

[hexed thicket]

Yes, the basic modules tend not to be worth anything for trade, so they don't come up. The salvageable scrap is the yellow-tag salvage icon when planetside (similar to the buried tech module, but yellow rather than gray). You can use the analysis visor to see and tag the salvage without leaving the corvette (or landing), and if you're really lazy you can even use the corvette's blaster guns to destroy the salvage pods rather than go down to dig them up.

Each salvage pod gets you between one and three parts, plus some ferrite and the usual relic/boundary map/curiosity thing.

[hardy oracle]

Yes, it's a new yellow scrap icon, the old white ones are still there but won't give you corvette parts.

If you can, equipping a cyclotron ballista will make looting the boxes even easier due to its large AoE, it can dig out stuff way beneath the surface. Most scrap is really close and can be gotten with any ship weapon except the beams though.

[hexed thicket]

The default cannons are enough, they just require somewhat more accurate aim if your guns are spaced wide apart.

[hardy oracle]

Not for every scrap box, some of them are further below the surface

[undone folio]

gotcha. Been a while since I've played, but if I remember correctly, there is a tag you get when scanning a planet for salvageable scrap (think it was just rusted metal before?). So does that planetary tag now indicate that you can find corvette modules on that planet, or is there no way to tell without surface scanning? I mean I jumped to at least 3 or 4 systems before the mission disappeared on me, and it said that no planets in those systems had modules on them and to go to another system. Totally possible that there wasn't a planet with that tag in the systems I hit, but just making sure

[hardy oracle]

Pretty sure the salvageable scrap tag is new. Rusted metal is still there one some worlds, these aren't the same tag

[hexed thicket]

Probably just wasn't a planet with scrap on it. Rusted metal is different, that's a resource.

[hexed thicket]

Salvageable scrap isn't new. It was there before, it used to just give you scrap and relics, plus the occasional useful thing like a boundary map.

I also remember that corrupted sentinels used to attack you for breaking them.

[undone folio]

But it is a tag I can see when scanning the planet from a distance yeah? Don't have to land and find POIs in visor to know that I'm looking at a planet that has it, right?

[hexed thicket]

Yes. It'll be a tag in white text above the normal resources.

[undone folio]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of

[real warren]

I got a lot of panel manipulating ahead of me

[hardy oracle]

Not all planets are alike of course, some of them are way better for scrap than others. No way to know that without checking them up close

[hexed thicket]

Yeah, there's different varieties of casings on the salvage, and some planets have better casings (and more casings) than others.

[remote cape]

If you have access to a portal, this is a system I discovered that has 4 planets with Salvageable Scrap on them. You will have plenty of parts. Lol.

[hexed thicket]

So on that front it's a gamble. But all salvageable scrap will give you parts in at least some amount.

Which reminds me that I still haven't gotten myself an active portal. Gotta complete that darn story sequence at some point.

[undone folio]

Awesome, thanks. I do, but it's bee so long that I'll have to remember what you have to do to find the portal on a planet 😂 . Google and I can figure it out though

[hardy oracle]

I don't think there's a difference in how much you get per box, but I found one planet where I could generally see 2-3 boxes at the same time while autopiloting across the surface. Made it really quick to get my corvette parts

[terse kestrel]

On my current run I got put in a system with two planets that had salvage scrap. Walked out of my first system with 80 million in credits and an A class hauler

You can use it to make Bank very early on. Then start working on your Corvette after

[hexed thicket]

I've definitely seen a marked difference in salvage from different pods. But it might just be chance-based, I never went on a salvage spree large enough to collect statistical data. :P

[hardy oracle]

Oh, I meant that I don't think the difference is based on the planet. It's just random being random

[terse kestrel]

There are some planets that have more than others. Just like salvage data and other buried resources.

When you land on a planet and it tells you it's weather, flora and fauna it's RESOURCE stat dictate how plentiful that stuff is

[hardy oracle]

That's just more nodes though, not more per node?

[terse kestrel]

Lootable items, minerals and metals and other things are based on that resource statistic

[abstract crow]

Just do what I did and stumble across a system with 4/6 planets having the scrap on them. Get bored with the same biome, switch planets for a change of scenery.

[terse kestrel]

I think it affects how much per node to

Like getting buried modules. Some planets you're routinely getting one or two salvage data. Other planets your banking three or four per looting over and over

The BEST planets are glitched resources planets.

You know those places you go where it seems like two things get loaded up in the same spot accidentally?

You dig down to find a buried module and there's a buried mineral next to it. Or consistently having two learning Stones Side by side. With damaged machinery next to it.

[hardy oracle]

That would have been neat, though I think I was averaging one part every 10-20 seconds on the world I found so it was probably good enough

[shadow wraith]

My favourite is somehow getting a corvette part while blindly mining carbon and ferrite using Positron

[sullen mesa]

I just fly around from node to node in the corvette and shoot the ground from the ship. Tons of parts in very little time.

[tame patio]

A good planet type to farming salvage scrap for parts are airless planet types, I said earlier in how you don't get carbon and no water but also very few other nodes spawn which results on so many salvage scrap spawning.

[sudden solstice]

my pirate freighter styled corvette

[tame patio]

Pretty much 20-30 minutes of collecting results in a inventory full of this. Yes you get boundary maps too.

[tame patio]

That looks good.

[swift mist]

yo fyi: #nms-showcase-corvettes is where you can post your corvette photo dumps

[swift mist]

lookin good!

[austere raptor]

just finished expedition 20, got greeted with a guy with a exocraft in the anomaly

[tame patio]

looks like a Voidray

[abstract crow]

Do not question the exocraft's presence.

[near path]

Compact fighter.

[austere raptor]

what should i call it

[split silo]

my corvette loaded in the normal ship area, is this a glitch or intentional?

[shadow crown]

Happens when you swap ships at anomaly

[glad nest]

I used as much useable space as possible!!

[upper quartz]

working on rebuilding the fireship arcadia in my main save and uh

those cheeky buggers used glitch techniques to make it

grid offsetting

[dusty valve]

damn that looks good

i haven't been bothered to play the expedition yet

[glad nest]

It's pretty interesting. Still has some Black Hole bugs lol

[balmy cedar]

Man...

[balmy cedar]

I need to figure out what I wanna do with the new atlas parts

[glad nest]

Where did you find the design I wanna give it a try haha

The new Engines fit perfect on that @mortal canyon

[mortal canyon]

Yes

As soon as I saw them I knew they'd be perfect lol

[upper quartz]

i just went to the wreck in the expedition and took a bunch of screenshots ;P

[glad nest]

I just found a video for it!

[upper quartz]

aw darnit it was that simple? send link pls

[glad nest]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3LWyK3re6w

[upper quartz]

thanks! i'll probably do it myself without the video but it's good to have as a backup

reconstructing the wreck is fun if a bit tedious

[plucky herald]

is the difference between these just the style of them?

[dusty valve]

i might wait a few days until there's a bunch of bases set up to make things easier lol

[glad nest]

Just the style

[plucky herald]

thank youu

[dusty valve]

how do you have so many parts so quickly

[mortal canyon]

my main save

costs set to 0

[dusty valve]

at

ah*

that tracks

i feel like part of the motivation for me is having to search for them

and building bigger (better) corvettes means I need to work harder for them

i still haven't played around with the new parts yet and I don't know if/how I want to synthesize it with my current Corvette. i don't think I wanna make a brand new one

at least, I don't wanna replace the habs from scratch

[abstract crow]

I'm only adding the new engines to existing designs for now. A completely new design will get the new parts.

[dusty valve]

wise

[abstract crow]

My designs are just too hard to make serious edits to with these new part. So starting fresh is my best bet. Call it an excuse to build even more ships .

[fair pilot]

Only internal visually. Thunderbird is all rust and rugs, titan slightly better and military, ambassador should look hi-tech, looks like a asylum room inside instead. 😄

Also the visual of the internal modules changes too (small windows, refiner, bed, med room, storage etc etc.

[plucky herald]

asylum room is what i thought of as well lol

cant wait to finish the expedition so i can farm some corvette farms

[fair pilot]

xD

[raven rover]

looks like smth out of alien tbh

Check out the bed

[glad nest]

Good thing I watched that video. Taught me some things I never new for positioning pieces!

[upper quartz]

yeah just like mr 7builds said it's not exactly possible in vanilla, there's some positioning you can't get even with glitch building

i recreated it almost 1 to 1 though, will post pics later

[kind nacelle]

its a glitch normally it spawns outside

[raven rover]

Oh wow

[fair pilot]

Bed is cool. I only don't like the walls.

[raven rover]

You got some pics of the original ship?

Im curious about the positioning thing

[edgy geyser]

Guys

I built this

[glad nest]

I just did the rotate one and it made the Aeron Blades contrast with each other so much better.!!

[limpid karma]

proof?

[abstract crow]

You wouldn't know them. The ship goes to a different school.

[edgy geyser]

Best i could do with my limited skill and effort

[limpid karma]

im gonna have to do it better than you

[fair pilot]

X24 engine, approx 500 litres xD

[willow lichen]

Heeey so I built into the ground how do I get rid of those pieces? Or do I have to start all over

Because if I do then I WILL HAVE WASTED AN ENTIRE DAY

[fair pilot]

wdym built into the ground and which pieces?

[willow lichen]

I mean is that I want a vertical corvette but I built into the ground by accident and now I can’t access those parts

[fair pilot]

Oh lol

[willow lichen]

So am I just screwed?

[abstract crow]

If you got the base builder app (PC) then you're safe. I believe you might be able to do something about it otherwise, but I don't know for sure.

[willow lichen]

I’m on Xbox

[hollow pollen]

Atlas/Sentinel Component Integration Test, Mark II ❤️

[remote cape]

Has anyone else been having problems with the wall lights turning off when placed in Corvette ships? Mine keep turning off.

[willow lichen]

Yea I’ll just start over. Goodbye 2.5 hours I’ll never get back

[willow lichen]

Seriously, that’s annoying. They shouldn’t allow you to build into the floor

[abstract crow]

Gotta work on your trigger discipline I guess.

Patience is a virtue when building ships. Go too fast and poof. Plus you might end up with parts inside your ship that you'll randomly find later on.

Or that you accidentally made things uneven.

[willow lichen]

Is a vertical corvette with the pain

Or is it not really

[abstract crow]

Depends on if you like the design and keep it around.

[willow lichen]

I mean, I already have a micro corvette that is only made of 2 parts, and I’ve maxed out its stats.

I don’t think one can make those anymore considering the update to the corvette editors

[idle canopy]

looks fine from the top
but ugly from he front
any ideas on what to do with it

[glad nest]

Just fly in 3rd person and cover the cockpit with some of the pieces.

[fair pilot]

So I'm not doing any further changes to this corvette. What do you think?

No offset/glitches, all standard build.

[glad nest]

That looks damn good!

[primal dagger]

ty it took me a bit aha

[glad nest]

Yeah mine took several hours and I'm still moving thing around lol

[fair pilot]

Looks cool! Rarely good usage of atlas parts imo

[glad nest]

Here is my current rendition!

[fair pilot]

My corvette ignored again xD

[glad nest]

I always fly in 3rd view so I tucked the cockpit under the diamonds!

Make it look more Sentinel"ish"

[swift mist]

very blue

[tame patio]

I think I need to put effort into making more longer hab sections but I feel this is pretty much the go to basic design type of this stuff.

It also looks very busy on the design.

[swift mist]

it's very possible to make those parts smooth and blend in better so the whole ship doesn't look so pointy everywhere

[abstract crow]

Atlas means pointy and sharp.

[tame patio]

Yeah it may take time to get that, it's easy to make a large ship with them parts, but getting something that's not a million cuts the ship may take some practice.

[swift mist]

but it doesn't have to be jagged is what i mean

[near path]

Possible they will release more atlas parts that will make it easier to do it in future.

[abstract crow]

Oh I'd expect quite a few parts to come out in time. And doors. We need doors.

[glad nest]

Big facts on the doors. Especially for the Intergalactic Hotel I made lol

[fair pilot]

Weirdly coloured planet (chromatic fog)

[tame patio]

These are expedition parts, if they release more parts it would either need another expedition or it will be odd to have a few obtainable without expedition and no way to get the breach expedition Aeron parts.

[tame patio]

Them planets are strange in colour.

[glad nest]

You can get anything, just have to find someone that has it as is willing to trade it!

[swift mist]

sleek

[swift mist]

they already added parts without needing to complete the expedition

i don't think it would be odd at all

[abstract crow]

Yeah I still haven't started the expedition yet and I got a fair amount of parts. But I'm busy trying to finish the monster of a cruiser first.

Beginning layer two/three since I'm hollowing out the interior. The lag is unbearable at times because of all the illegal things I'm doing to build this ship. Or maybe my PC is turning potato. Either or.

[teal barn]

how can i make the aeron blades touch?

[glad nest]

A whole bunch of nit picking where you want your items placed. I'll give a try and let you know.

[abstract crow]

Probably offset building, maybe with the hab glitch for good measure.

[swift mist]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

follow these steps

[glad nest]

@teal barn It's not too complicated. Just have to do the Storage tank and Rock hopper walkway stuff.

[swift mist]

just habs is enough

[glad nest]

I tried that first and it wouldn't let the 4 one get placed

[swift mist]

ah right, controllers behave differently with certain snapping points

[glad nest]

I'm on PC too and these do not snap together to each other like most all the other parts do.

It would take a little extra to center it on the ship though.

[swift mist]

you are correct

[sick quail]

the parts aren't perfect but they are fun

I'd love to be able to change the lighting to purple or something

[swift mist]

yes, it would be nice to have RGB LED strips

[sick quail]

for now I use the colored lights

[idle canopy]

decided to take a different approach

[gentle turtle]

Corevettes would benefit so much aesthetically if we had an "open/close hatch" quick menu option

[sick quail]

gimme spray foam I can carve and color on, lol

[sick quail]

looks cool overall

[idle canopy]

thanks

any suggestions on what to change

[sick quail]

try and fill some gaps or make them a tad more intentional

[glad nest]

@teal barn Here it is centerd on the nose of a ship!

[sick quail]

reminds me of a hercules beetle, very cool

I top centered the big thing and tried tio cut it with the half piece

[idle canopy]

the gaps up top or at the side

[idle canopy]

looks cool
like the color
does the center piece obstruct anything

[glad nest]

I like the contrast of the diamond at the back

[sick quail]

the side, if you combine the new wing piece in it has a more intentional gap

I also tried to center a reactor under a half piece

[edgy geyser]

Huh

[idle canopy]

like this?
this looks better actually

[sick quail]

the center piece doesnt allow you to place anything, but if you stack up small structural pieces you can put stuff there

[sick quail]

up to you but it would help break up the geometry and still have the same flair

if you want after glows and you have all the blueprints for the colored lights you can hide them in some parts

[idle canopy]

oh, i know what you mean

[sick quail]

also dont forget the underside

[idle canopy]

yeah i was initially going for a triangle shape but couldn't get it right

[idle canopy]

yeah i do, will still work on it

[idle canopy]

i hide my weapons there lol

[swift mist]

this is how i join the wings together

[unique canopy]

ew why is it slideshow

welp

[sick quail]

this works vertically too if you like the shape

[unique canopy]

working on nose

[sick quail]

looks like a small B2 bomber

[unique canopy]

ty that was my inspo :3

[upper quartz]

very nice

[unique canopy]

wanted anti grav bomber

kinda looks like megatron head lol

[near path]

Just me or does it look like someone sat on top of it saying praise be atlas?

[sick quail]

whats your 3rd person view?

[unique canopy]

xD

[sick quail]

the ovals the longshore?

[unique canopy]

I need to change my trails lol

[sick quail]

I even matched my jetpack lol

[near path]

I sorta feel mines it a bit Noisy

[unique canopy]

fits the vibe better on mine now

:3

[sick quail]

noise can be smoothed out, just remove stuff and put it back see what you see without it there and what you can add to help

[near path]

Looks ok stationary.

[sick quail]

3 triangles out the back could be changed to two or one, also have you tried lining up a booster with the wing? it looks nice lined up

some of the fuselage pieces can tie in nicely if you choose a nice paint scheme

[near path]

I wanted the sorta flared up winglets but the only way i could find to do it vanilla is with the boosters. if there was a smaller version of the wings it would be great

[sick quail]

what accessway did you use?

if you dont want to have a funny looking ramp hide the thunderbird inside

[near path]

Thunderbird landing bay

[sick quail]

nice

[sick quail]

I like this

[near path]

Front

[sick quail]

looks like a four eyed Gek

only that angle though lol

[near path]

Posted earlier, but this is the top

Theres 3 large Habs and 2 walkways buried in there 😄, and 3 reactors

[sick quail]

top looks good honestly

[idle canopy]

the top looks too flat

[swift mist]

needs some curves for sure

[near path]

Aeron Diffuser and cowling are nice to fill in gaps

[real warren]

lol okay, who made this?

[swift mist]

hey i saw that at a corvette meetup earlier

[real warren]

took me a min to find the ramp

[swift mist]

the reactor on the right arm acting as a gun is a nice touch

[edgy geyser]

do it then

i dare you

[idle canopy]

a bit more?

i think it needs better wings

or bigger

[idle canopy]

I used the cowling

[swift mist]

okay maybe not curves if you plan on keeping those aeron blades

slopes and angled pieces

[glad nest]

I may have gone a little over board!!

[near path]

Looks like Space Pirate ship. Pointy claws on the front for latching on and raiding others 😄

[edgy geyser]

oh my god yer right

OOH! hopefully pirate corvettes come

that'd be sick af

[near path]

Atlas theme matches really well with the Pirate Dreadnaught

[edgy geyser]

it does

With all the empty contact spaces

[swift mist]

too many aeron blades

[glad nest]

Directly on top of one of my settlements LOL!

[near path]

"Insert Kylo Ren Meme"

[glad nest]

MOOORRREEEE!!!!

[swift mist]

so many black ships with red glow

im tired boss

[sick quail]

I tried orange but my specific design looked too phallic

[glad nest]

Doing the white and black one puts a lot more contrast to the black that won't change to even it out.

[swift mist]

you should use more regular pieces then

the white part is good

[idle canopy]

sigh...
even the game is complaining

[blazing nebula]

how did you change the orientation of these ??? can't do it at all :c

[swift mist]

i think filling these spaces in to complete the wing would be a good idea

[thorny wyvern]

The Avengers Helicarrier

[glad nest]

It's a Walkway rotation method. There are several videos out there on how do get a part to rotate the way the game won't naturally let you do @blazing nebula

[blazing nebula]

the glass glitch ?

dunno u could rotate a piece at 180 degree

i mean i still have to learn the UFO methode so not surprising actually

[blazing nebula]

wait what u can put landing pad ?

are they working ?

[glad nest]

No you have to put a ladder inside the walkway you want to rotate and some other stuff. It's harder to explain that it is to visualize.

[thorny wyvern]

Yes they are functional

[blazing nebula]

yeah so not the same glitch used

[blazing nebula]

how ?

if u park one of ur ship does it stay ?

[near path]

Mods i would imagine

[thorny wyvern]

Other ships are able to land on them as well

[idle canopy]

okay, i have some ideas

[blazing nebula]

what happen if u park one of ur small ship and then take off with ur corvette ?

don't tell me it stays cuz imma jump build a new corvette for carrying my living ship

[thorny wyvern]

Nah if you move they all get left but its useful for drop down and resource gathering I usually leave the ship in the sky and sky dive then return via small ship

[blazing nebula]

i just use the teleport button to get down 🤓

sad it don't stay on tho, but still sick

[thorny wyvern]

I got a ladder built on the under carriage too I rarely use teleport always end up in odd spots meeting death lol

[trail hornet]

holy hell i love this
