[copper quarry]

new corvette i will probobly scrap and completly rebilud when i get tired of it or shipmogged

[shadow crown]

"shipmogged" lmao

[chilly valve]

mmm , that i dont agree with , if somebody hands you free paints and you uninentionally create a banksy worth millions or whatever , nobodies gonna be bothered you got the paint free

[shadow crown]

I... can't tell how much the side bits stick out

Can you do a more top-down shot

[wanton radish]

wait how can we get rid of exisistng corvettes?

[shadow crown]

I mean I don't care that other people use creative or whatever

[chilly valve]

trade it to an NPC

[shadow crown]

I'm sure some people do

I just have my game locked to normal worth noting when people go "uhh but creative 🤓"

[chilly valve]

which is great.

but also belly hangar goes hard 🤷‍♂️

[wanton radish]

but wait...can we get other parts other than base parts in creative too? i just haven't tried creative in years so i lack on teh deets

[shadow crown]

I don't think you get access to anything that you can't somehow get in normal gameplay

[chilly valve]

if you turn off costs you gain unlimited access to all corvette parts

[wanton radish]

nono, i mean the parts taht we have to scavenge, can we get that for free on creative?

[wanton radish]

ohhhhh okay

[chilly valve]

yes, and with costs turn off

[wanton radish]

thanks

[hardy oracle]

No, creative just modifies costs, not availability. I think it probably also makes it so you can build things without researching them though.

[tame patio]

I enjoyed building this.

I like using the pillar sideways as it creates a unique style. And with a few rockhopper adjustments made it look decent.

[fair pilot]

I have 8

[abstract crow]

I have many, many more than 8.

[wraith quiver]

al my ships are small

lol one hab one walkway. but an open area as well

[tame patio]

I think my main survival corvette has around 9 4 habs and 5 walkways.

[terse kestrel]

Remember to only use half Habs for things like refiners and kitchens. Using full Habs can often jack them up.

I avoid using the full ones whenever possible.

[sage wolf]

I incorrectly read that as 94 habs lol

[tame patio]

That can be if you wanted a Borg cube.

[sage wolf]

Which you can do in vanilla because the part limit is 100

[terse kestrel]

Release the Habken!

[wanton radish]

when are we getting these parts?

[sage wolf]

This is why I tell people that disabling mods will not prevent trolls from lagging the anomaly lol

[wanton radish]

Chuck from angry birds!!

[sage wolf]

You can make a borg cube with vanilla and them cover it in decorations and lag out the anomaly without glitches or mods

People who want to grief will find a way to do it

This just related to a lot of reddit posts ive seen where people suggest the devs force modded corvettes into their own lobby

As a solution to lag

[tame patio]

Yeah while there is a limit on how many corvette parts you can put on. You can put lots of stuff on. I feel my corvette probably crashes many switch 2 players even myself when I enter the anomaly with how detailed most of the interior rooms are.

[sage wolf]

I think the devs can only "fix" it by enforcing a stricter part limit that includes decorations or simply not letting corvettes into the anomaly at all. Not letting in modded corvettes would be a bandaid solution that doesn't actually fix the root problem

But im rambling now, continue on lol

[tame patio]

I feel it could be if you are a short distance from a corvette most items should not be rendered to ensure the games don't explode.

And maybe some decorations like air purifiers since they are flat.

[wanton radish]

they might actually be stress testing these stuff, esp in preperation for thier next game

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

[sage wolf]

I don't have issues in the anomaly with multiplayer on, but I also have a very beefy pc. That being said, if I have a complex corvette, I just don't bring it into the anomaly

But perma death has made me prefer an interceptor over a corvette due to the significantly reduced launch costs lol

[tame patio]

I have a switch 2 and if more than 2 corvettes are also docked then I then begin the gamble in if my game crashes or not.

[sage wolf]

You could turn off multiplayer lol

But yeah I know that isn't an ideal solution

[abstract crow]

I'd like to say my PC is more than adequate, but the anomaly still gives me some issues from time to time.

[sage wolf]

I'm of the opinion that they simply shouldn't have ever let corvettes into the anomaly. Just have them park outside and you teleport in like with atlas stations

[sick pawn]

no, the game should be playable for people by default on all platforms with mp on, and there should be settings that protect that; having random game crashes by loading into the anomaly is not ok

[tame patio]

I spent money on online and I'm going to use every last penny whether my game crashes or not

[sick pawn]

(whre "no" was "no, that sure isn't the ideal solution")

[sage wolf]

That OR add an in game setting available to all platforms that just straight up disables other player corvettes from rendering

[sick pawn]

as long as it's on by default for the lower powered platforms, ok

i.e. switch, ps4 at least

that some doofus can fly in with their modded super huge many parts corvette and crash other players' games... not cool

[sage wolf]

Again, while mods can make the issue worse, they are not the root cause of the issue

If all mods vanished, someone would still lag the anomaly

[sick pawn]

irresponsible corvette ownership <-- the root of the problem

[neon frost]

I hope for the same

[sage wolf]

The simple fact that decorations aren't counted towards the part limit means someone on console, with no access to mods,could still make a lag machine

[wanton radish]

But then how will you get kidnapped? Or sneak in?

[hardy oracle]

They do, it's just a separate part limit

[sage wolf]

Blaming mods is just putting a bandaid on a deeper issue

[sage wolf]

Which is 3k lol

[wanton radish]

What they should do is just render the essential parts and nothing else

[sick pawn]

more than 120 parts total? we don't render you in mp. that could help

anyways gotta assume hg is looking at it... after they sort out the bugginess of this expedition

[hardy oracle]

I think it would be nice to be able to set a limit yourself, rather than some arbitrarily chosen limit. Not everyone has the same system specs

[stray elbow]

how does the landing bay work? I just get stuck in it

[hardy oracle]

Could you elaborate, maybe with a screenshot? The landing bay is a combination of door and teleporter, neither function should result in getting stuck but maybe in combination with something else?

[stray elbow]

I just do not know how to encorterate it to my ship

[hardy oracle]

Most just tack it onto the rear of a hab. Though I put mine on the front, next to the cockpit. I have two habs though.

[sick pawn]

I did the usual: hab off cockpit, hab behind that, landing bay off of that. so I walk in, straight walk up to cockpit

[hardy oracle]

I bet everyone has made at least one corvette like that. 🙂

[sick pawn]

at least! or maybe "all" 😄

well some of mine hve only one habitat long behind the cockpit

[abstract crow]

I'll be happy to have a full day to actually put effort into my ship again. And maybe knock out the expedition finally.

[paper light]

hi does any have a cool atlas corvette builds nothing too big

[hoary agate]

Scroll up or search the chamnel by media. A lot of good designs there

[hardy oracle]

Reddit can be a pretty good place to find designs by searching too, it's a little more search-friendly than discord.

[idle heath]

Hello NMS community, I've been looking for a good design for my own corvette. Does someone know a good design? I'm not really good at glitch building but I'm up for a little challenge. I'm on console so that makes it a little harder to glitch.

[abstract crow]

See above advice. Or #nms-showcase-corvettes

[idle heath]

👍

[trail hornet]

try this lol (not my pic)

[balmy cedar]

Ahhh. A ferrari

[trail hornet]

glad you know the reference

[balmy cedar]

I like Automobiles

And pirate stuff

[trail hornet]

reallll

[main latch]

guys got any ideas to make this not look stupid from the front lol

[safe pilot]

Can you recolor the interior of Ambassador habs?

[main latch]

i dont think so no

[balmy cedar]

Nope

[safe pilot]

fuck. they look the nicest inside but Do Not Fit with the new bits

[main latch]

thats why i use titan class

[balmy cedar]

I use thunderbird myself

[trail hornet]

same

looks more cozy

lived-in even

[balmy cedar]

I like the 70s asthetic

Reminds me of the millenium falcon

[trail hornet]

frrr thats half the reason why i use it

[balmy cedar]

IGN has a decent tutorial for that ship

Here it is

[shadow crown]

I have 8 I think in the photo I sent you, can't remember. Something like 2 long but with one extra on the sides, so there's "crew quarters", grow rooms, and a refiner room as well

[balmy cedar]

Tho I did change some things

[shadow crown]

I don't have enough of the build able base decor though

[balmy cedar]

Whats with all these tutorials and people wasting functional space with those square blocks?

[shadow crown]

I think a lot of people just don't design things with extra unnecessary hab space

I can certainly understand doing it, especially when you are doing things that might clip into the hab areas

[hardy oracle]

There isn't all that much use for habs beyond the first one. Nothing wrong with adding things because you think they look good, but that's really it.

[shadow crown]

Extra refiners are basically one of the only things super useful, imo, because there's no limit on proximity for them and they don't eat power

[abstract crow]

I'm trying to avoid excess hab usage on my next design, but the only other 2x1 piece available just looks so bleh to me.

[shadow crown]

They're also not as buggy as freighter ones

[shadow crown]

Just cover it up with shit

I wish we could scale the 1x1 ducting and whatever blocks to 1x2

[shadow crown]

I like the aesthetic of some but I don't have the no part limit mod (and ofc console never will)

[main latch]

oh hey its the slab guy wsp

[abstract crow]

You haven't seen the size of this. I'm covering up a lot of space and 1x1 blocks are better looking, but obviously take 2x the amount.

[shadow crown]

Yup, big issue for vanilla builds imo

[abstract crow]

That's what I'm working with.

[safe pilot]

jeez

that's Massive

[hardy oracle]

It really doesn't feel like NMS is the right game for building those sorts of ships, but as long as you're having fun it's all good. 🙂

[limpid karma]

i dont think thats vanilla

[hardy oracle]

Obviously not. But it can't be easy even modded

[elder iron]

I coulda sworn there was a semi-okay 2x1 hull piece

Even before breach

[candid quarry]

Hello, new to bulding corvettes. Can anyone tell me if my corvette will remain S-rank when upgraded even if I completely overhaul every build piece of the corvette?

[abstract crow]

Might trim the sides by two so it's not as chonky, but it's a lot of effort. And NMS is exactly the right game with mods. Everything else is too complicated, expensive, or not as good with ship building.

[elder iron]

Yes, the ship class isnt related to the actual parts

[candid quarry]

ty

[lusty light]

oh thank goodness i was worried about that too, glad someone asked

wasnt going to build a corvette anytime soon but the expedition corvette usage grew o nme

[elder iron]

I know a few games that I'd say are definitely better/more versatile with ship building, but usually thats because that starts as a core part of the game

[abstract crow]

I know there's better games, especially on PC. But the complexity involved makes it harder to dive right into.

Like space engineers

[safe pilot]

same. I just came back when they came out and was like "eh I'll collect the parts but prob won't build one anytime soon". Then I got a free inbuilt refiner in the expedition and I was like "Oh. I need one in my main save now."

Refiners are SO useful

I made like. 4 in my dreadnought

[elder iron]

They truly are

And im pretty sure you could get a corvette with refiner faster than a freighter refiner room

[shadow crown]

Freighter ones are also buggy

Haven't had my corvette ones mysteriously eat materials

[elder iron]

Oh you must have started using them recently, lol

[shadow crown]

I mean I warp and portal, which is an instant issue for the freighter ones

[lusty light]

planning on just having a nice looking corvette when im going about a system for a hot min, and use my main ship for fighting and warp travel

[main latch]

ok so i just found out you can do this

its just completely open and you can walk in it

and pilot the ship

[shadow crown]

Better put your seat belt on when you fly it

[main latch]

im gonna make something nice with this information the issue is its unpilotable in first person LOL

we need an atlas cockpit. but until then aeron winglet for the win 🗣️🔥

hm yes

looks fire on the outside tho

[tidal dome]

finally got my lil guy to S-class

im broke now

[main latch]

oh no im stuck in my corvette

[tidal dome]

agreed, we need more Atlas parts fr
cockpit, landing gear, habitation modules, landing bays n more

[main latch]

chat i might be stuck

send help

[lusty light]

time to reset the matrix to get unstuck

[main latch]

i phased through multiple barriers using a chair

we love chair phasing

also anyone got an idea for a cockpit location that isn't inside the corvette 🥀

cuz otherwise its gonna look goofy

🥀

[tidal dome]

uh

not rly unless you make it larger

the regular cockpit from the shop fits fairly well though

[main latch]

thunderbird?

[tidal dome]

yeah

[main latch]

hmbb

actually wait if i offset the S P I N E backwards by one each it could work

the issue is offsetting it

[zenith pagoda]

What's a space game with out some space truckin'? The T'au Yun X-2 Express. My take on a space freighter in the nms universe.

[slow harbor]

@loud estuary

[main latch]

ok so i severely miscalculated how far back it'd go

[main latch]

ykw im just going back to this and im gonna figure out where to hide a cockpit

[tidal dome]

still looks quite nice

[main latch]

naw it like completely ruins what the spine was 🥀

[tidal dome]

to each their own ig

[main latch]

OH MY GOSH I JUST GOT THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION

[real warren]

Someone in the youtube comnments is claiming I can apply wood flooring (or any flooring to my corvette)

Sound possible or is this a console thing?

[main latch]

IT WORKS TOO WELL ACTUALLY

ok so this is where the cockpit is

and the inside pov

[real warren]

OOOO shiz it works

[main latch]

I CAN SEE OUT THE FRONT BRO

THIS IS GREAT DAY

[main latch]

omg its like a sight

im actually so happy with this

[safe pilot]

That's awesome

[gentle turtle]

Is there a glitch available on consoles that allows habs to be placed vertically?

[grizzled prism]

Still having this issue btw. I don't wanna have to scrap my whole vette just to fix it 😭

[main latch]

ough

thats interesting

[real warren]

SO I guess the downside of doing this floor trick with a corvette is once you swap the light panel out with a floor of your choice it permanently becomes a part of the corvette structure and you have to go back to the corvette thingy and delete a hab all togther.

lel oops

[shadow crown]

[real warren]

Ya that wood flooring trick is nice

[lusty light]

nice but at a cost

[main latch]

oh wow that looks nice

[real warren]

you can actually go back to the corvette modifier and delete the panels without deleting the whole hab

OOooooooh

just tried it

[lusty light]

nicesu! will stick tht in my brain for later

[real warren]

This a quick example of how to do it (in case anybody doesn't know how which I have a feeling a lot know how)

[main latch]

DAMN

[main latch]

whats the max atk it can do though

you got crazy hyperdrive and manouv but i bet your dps is lacking

[ripe axle]

Nope. Phase beams. Thing shreds

[main latch]

phase beam dps?

[ripe axle]

Yeah. For some reason it doesn’t count that. Just the photon cannon ( which I absolutely hate )

[main latch]

bruh?

these are my stats lol

[ripe axle]

I did two diff builds with no phase cannon on there and it still comes with one. Pisses me tf off

[main latch]

we HATE photon cannon

get this nasty thing off my corvette

[ripe axle]

Haha og

[main latch]

im boutta save edit it off im being so fr

[ripe axle]

I love the infra but the phase beams are insane

I play on Xbox so no mods or none of that

[main latch]

wait how much dps does it say your phase does?

[ripe axle]

I’d have to get back on but it’s usually around 12-13k when I hit something. It fucking MELTSSSS freighters

I don’t like the phase personally but it’s melts everything so it’s hard not to use

[main latch]

damn

[ripe axle]

Try em out sometime. It’s wild af

I’ve had some maxed out infras but they just don’t compare

[main latch]

tbh i have them on my corvette i use infra+phase beam

[ripe axle]

Do you have them maxed out though?

[graceful portal]

@ripe axle @main latch great minds think alike I see . Also using 4 phase beams and the damage basically one shots without even using supercharge slots. All those went to engines.

[real warren]

Trying to do the same trick for walls does not compute. 🙁

[balmy cedar]

I finished my corvette

Beautiful ain't she?

[real warren]

What I was really hoping for was to try and trick one of the Salvage Transmitter Roof things into the vette. Not sure if possible atm

[ripe axle]

Yeah I didn’t put any of them in SC slots and they melt

All of my SC slots are for maneuverability

4140 Maneuverability is insane lemme tell ya lol

[terse kestrel]

which piece you talking about? Decorative?

[real warren]

Ya these big pieces

Thought I could make it look like the freighter the Nostromo was hauling

i can slap on the small transmitters but not the main big ones

[terse kestrel]

I'm going to try to do that tonight.

There's got to be a way. Just a matter of whether or not it breaks the ships physics I think

Some stuff you put on your Vette that's not supposed to go on it creates collision physics breaks. So it's always best to add a bit onto your corvette, take it on a flight and see how it handles. Before adding more

It's also more likely to happen if something is in the front of your ship rather than the back.

[real warren]

Think these trinkets I used to fill in gaps would cause collision problems? So far it hasn't but what do I know I only have 100 hours in

[terse kestrel]

If they did you would know before long. It happens fast

If you ever are flying along and it's like you suddenly hit a wall and start spinning wildly all over the place...... You got to remove something you just put on.

Like you can't even take off from the planet and make it to the space station without it happening. I

[mild stratus]

Hail atlas brothers!!!

[terse kestrel]

"what does God need with a starship?"

[main latch]

WSP SPIDERRR

[main latch]

btw wheres the atlas corvette army

[tranquil hedge]

any ideas on how to make this? ignore the diagonal corner of the pyramid

[real warren]

lol ooooo

i should fly it more often

What video game nostalgia does to a man 😭

I get that way over Richard Scary's Busy Town. That game was peak

[glass cloak]

Looking to try and put together the U.S.S. Cygnus. Any thoughts? Trying to get the length, but honestly, it drives up the build count like mad.

For reference.

[glass surge]

I would suggest learning blender corvette modeling and modding because there is no way that will look the same with the existing parts and limits.

[queen locust]

Im coming here to ask anyone if they could maybe suggest a build video or maybe put a build plan together for me for a space shuttle style corvette something identical to the promethius OSP ship from Destiny 2 It would be a big help🙏🏽

[cobalt flame]

I went with this concept

[errant kelp]

Anyone have any tips for corvette maneuverability? I know the basics but see people hit crazy #s

[supple portal]

Save Edit

[balmy cedar]

Not all engines are built equal

[glass surge]

Arcadia Wings the ones that look like jet fighter tail wings cut about 2-4 points from maneuverability; so if you're going to use those for style be aware.

Medusa Reactors work best with the cockpit so maybe max those out at 3

[ripe axle]

Upgrade modules and adjacency

[errant kelp]

Thanks guys that’s all great info

[ripe axle]

X class modules in outlaw systems are a gamble but can put out huge numbers. Certain corvette parts have higher numbers too.

Just takes a lot of playing with, honestly.

[dire nexus]

Dude I hope they add like ropes and stuff or a platform to carry vehicles and then add a unmanned vehicle where you can drop it into a planet where you can control it and use the thrust vectors and stuff with parachutes from the corvette

[glass surge]

Time to go back to the corvette Superchraged slot reroll grind

[sick pawn]

if you like it, then it's good

ship aesthetics are really subjective

[trim valve]

Uh guys
Why does my corvette module have no animation?
Like the landing pad or the thunderbird landing bay switch does not flip

I watch several video and they seem to have it
My graphic is set as high if that any help

[dire nexus]

A glitch

Save corrupted?

Restart nms

And try

[trim valve]

Not at all
Its running fine right now

[trim valve]

Already did

Multiple time

Nothing

[dire nexus]

Weird

[low spindle]

In my head I’ve been thinking the nanite value is somewhat related to the stats. So I only buy them when they’re expensive.

In your experience, do you find that true?

[hardy harbor]

Does anyone else gets effect that attaching things to lower front spot of gantry link leaves object "not attached"?

[dire nexus]

I had that issue

Just

Remove it

And attach it to the same place

And it worked

[hardy harbor]

the gantry?

[inner niche]

Is it safe to bring corvette in the anomaly now? Ive been seeing people say there is a chance you could straight up lose it?

[dire nexus]

No

[dire nexus]

Yeah but I heard about those

[dire nexus]

Yes but try and see

Mine was near the cockpit

Just delete and place again

If that didn’t work

Try out other parts

Until you can apply modifications

[inner niche]

Been making me nervous to bring mine in because I don't wanna end up losing it due to the amount of time it took.

[dire nexus]

Create a save

[hardy harbor]

moving or removign gantry sends other parts into subspace where they can't be targeted XD

[dire nexus]

But I don’t think it work happened

[dire nexus]

Bruh

[ripe axle]

Not really. I bounce outlaw systems and buy up all the suspicious packages ( purple / gold ) at the outlaw station and trade station.

[hardy harbor]

eh.. that's nothign compared to tat I somehow managed to zoom a aprt by snapping to to somethign it shouldn't have.. the game clinet is buggy as heck Xd

[low spindle]

🤯
Ahhhh. That makes sense. Much better than spending the Nanites.

[ripe axle]

I’m sure there’s an equation or something you could really geek out on but it’s not that deep to me. Money is no object and I don’t have much to do in the game aside from random shit I task myself to do. X mods are really hit and miss. But when they hit…they hit good. I still buy S mods too randomly when I’m actually in a space station. Sometimes they hit too but at this point it’s hard to find anything much better than what I have. I’m hoping for some ignorant shit to pop up. 🤣
I don’t know what the records / maxes are

[ripe axle]

Also - the packet method is a great nanite farming method as long as money isn’t an issue.

[low spindle]

Yeah that all sounds like a good idea. Units are definitely not an issue right now.

[glass surge]

The only serious Corvette bug i know about is that if you put a portable refiner in side a corvette with a corvette Refiner it's possible to corrupt you save apparently. So do not do this and only put the corvette module refiner in corvettes.

I'm not always at the anomaly and if i am My corvette's are not something to worry about as they're built in game using the in game glitches and without mods.

[low spindle]

Nanites on the other hand, I can’t get enough lol. So I’m excited about this method

[ripe axle]

Also…idk if outlaw standing makes a difference but I feel like I always end up with more packets than I actually bought.

[ripe axle]

I can usually make about 50k Nantes in under 20 minutes.

[low spindle]

I’m Gonna have to look into a good method

[cinder grail]

apologies if this is a frequently asked question but does anyone know if the devs plan on making a way to increase corvette building capacity?

[glass surge]

No idea but you can ask them here https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[cinder grail]

thank you

[ripe axle]

I hope not.

[shadow crown]

Is it possible to clip the Aeron Powershield to be centered in the Aeron Pillar? Could've sworn I've seen someone do it but might be misremembering

sentinel corvette

heres some inspiration from my attempt at it

Mitey no longer cares about finding cowling that will cover that damn fromnt. tho it would be nice heh

(upper view)

[glad snow]

i have a cargo box but when i am in build menu i do not see it to attach it

[limpid karma]

it doesnt do anything

reload a save if you can

[queen locust]

I meant a build I thought about lol it’s nothing too complex but itll b my second ever corvette

[limpid karma]

oops

what do you got

[sick pawn]

I left a lot of stuff deliberately uncovered for a very heavy metal grunge look in parts

(expedition corvette)

no boxes showing but lots of reactor bits and other junk

[queen locust]

i was thinking about a NASA space shuttle I can’t find any build videos anywhere 💔

[limpid karma]

i made one

[queen locust]

That’s dope!

[sick pawn]

looks positively tiny! amazing

[queen locust]

Ive been trying to find an 100 accurate one but its so difficult

on a way larger scale ofc

[limpid karma]

i dont have a video but heres my other two pictures

there is offsetting in this build

[queen locust]

i mess with it🔥

[balmy cedar]

Very nice

Space Nasa?

Challanger rocket?

[ember scaffold]

I need to get more used to the build mechanics. I like how I accidentally created a stag beetle/tie interceptor blend. Definitely a prototype.

[main latch]

japanese intellect gotta be nerfed fr save some intelligence for the rest of us 💀

oh also i see what they did for the license plate thats smart

[limpid karma]

thats why i shared it

[main latch]

the ship design is so sleek too like dayum

[main latch]

like how is it so SMOOTH

[limpid karma]

i am a caveman in regards to such details like a license plate

[glass surge]

Did they merge two ambassador engines up front to make a new nose piece? Damn that's cool

[limpid karma]

looks like it

[raven rover]

i just wish i still had the old version of the ambassador heavy boosters 😔

Those did not have trails

Now they auto updated and now some of my builds is ruined

[limpid karma]

just place a million other types of thrusters first

[raven rover]

They changed the snap points too

[limpid karma]

wow

[raven rover]

Im using the no complexity limit mod

That lights up all of the thrusters

[limpid karma]

im a simple xboxer

[lethal marten]

Just finished building my corvette after the expedition

[raven rover]

this is the before

[limpid karma]

i didnt save my expedition corvette

it wasnt that interesting probably

[raven rover]

after :

the thing moved forwards by 1 block 😭

cant move it back

[limpid karma]

you can definitely move them back

[raven rover]

doesnt let me, might have to delete some stuf

anyway my main problem is the trails

[limpid karma]

i feel like they changed how offset parts work

[raven rover]

i didnt even offset em

they just straight up changed the snap points on em

[limpid karma]

if u just offset them like a normal person

smh my head

[raven rover]

wat

[limpid karma]

its just a little joke

sucks for your ship though

[raven rover]

this is the part that i feel like that we need to be able to turn off trails

[limpid karma]

we need a lot of things tbh

[raven rover]

some boosters looks good as decorative pieces

but then some goddamn trail will show up

[glass surge]

I mean have you seen the Aeron trails with multi engines

[raven rover]

yeah i hate it

[limpid karma]

trails dont bother me so much

i fly in first person

[raven rover]

the only reason i dont use em

too much trail

[raven rover]

i like both but the trails just bothers me

the other ship that got the trailpocalypse after the update

[rugged lichen]

bro

[balmy cedar]

Bro got the stealth ship

Everybody gangster till the house starts flying

[shadow crown]

Hmh. Trying to do an asymmetrical build, like a U with one "arm" longer than the other, but I can't decide on an appealing scale

The lack of proper curved stuff alsso hurts

[sour herald]

What this? What in game item part they mean it? Will it make my cannon face upward or something?

[limpid karma]

its just the atlas parts from the expedition

[sour herald]

So still same then, I just refuse to do glitch building

[terse ingot]

Thats what ive been wanting to know too lol

[limpid karma]

its the thruster and one of the wing modules

when you rotate it there will be 4 different places instead of 2 like on normal parts

[golden tundra]

They really need to improve corvette interior building, it is a massive nightmare to get the most basic action done and there is no free-camera.
I just wanted it to look less boring, a few HOURS later, it is okay, not perfect but less boring 🤣

I do prefer Titan hubs, its old school looking is perfect. I actually hated Ambassador, too soft and boring haha

[exotic spruce]

I like the Ambassador stations, but otherwise prefer Thunder interiors. Titan is good for a refining room

[golden tundra]

Titan feels like it gives more room, Ambassador refiner with those weird arms taking a lot of space, just personal preference.
Adding simple refiner to Ambassador and the space was gone

[exotic spruce]

plenty of curved parts if you mod. 👼

[balmy cedar]

Modding isn't available to all systems

Fr fr the lack of curves hurts

I wouldn't mind a kind of rail/spine support part for wings

[shut tusk]

first real (non-dumpster) build

[balmy cedar]

I like parts of the Amby interior

The Kitchen rocks

The computer rocks

And the plant growers are pretty nice

[shut tusk]

what building mods do you use? i want to get eucil-ea, kibbles n bits, and/or ultra base building for like 2k more parts but i dont like how others cant see them and they poof if you uninstall and reinstall the mods

[exotic spruce]

I just use Beyond Bases

[shut tusk]

i have that too but its just for qol stuf basically, doesnt add curved parts

unless you just mean building the glass ones not underwater

[exotic spruce]

yeah I just use the underwater parts - I didn't know someone made custom parts yet

[shut tusk]

there are a few. some let you build prettymuch everything you find in the game, others add custom models

build a full nexus or space station if you want

[exotic spruce]

when I played starfield there were a few custom models I uses like 2 to one hab connectors, three to 1, etc. , proper stairwells and tyridium shuttle folding wings... but... you can do far more in NMS than you could in Starfield hence my 200+ hours just corvette building alone. 🙂

[shadow crown]

I'm pretty sure the type of curved things I'm talking about are still absent. I don't want something curving 90 degrees within a space, we're talking sweeping curves. Technically doable with lots of offsets and overlapping crap, but I'm pretty sure that then makes the smaller scale impossible

[exotic spruce]

good point

I think there is one feature EVERYONE can agree on that we need, even if it's just one part history - UNDO CHANGE. 🙂

[shadow crown]

rapid squiggle (I dont have an art degree its fine) but you can never do the curve on the right, without making it large scale

[wooden walrus]

Whats the fastest way to max out corvette tech/storage slots without spam paying units?

[shadow crown]

the left one is easy, since you can use something like the new rim pieces (vesper rim, I think, is 1x2 and slow curve)

[shadow crown]

if you want to cheese it, turn off costs

you can abuse a bug w/ tech slots to max them without paying but you might as well turn off costs at that point

[wooden walrus]

I want to do it legit. I know there are items items that let you add a slot for free, but idk a good way to farm those

[shadow crown]

Drop pod maps

[exotic spruce]

I see what you mean, you get partway there with dome corner and vesper, but that tail end curving back. Ouch.

[wooden walrus]

Arent those for exosuit slots?

[shadow crown]

er right

I'm pretty sure storage expansions drop from freighter missions

probably from derelict freighters themselves as well (the interior loot/salvages)

[wooden walrus]

I got one from a space station mission reward, but ive been station hopping and cant find another

[shadow crown]

Oh, you also get them from guild rewards

they're one of the possible rolls. Can't remember which guild

[shadow crown]

The exterior curves, aye, but its also rough having interior curves

even worse if you want a more pronounced curve, since you can't have a straight-through "spine" then

There's also the PITA regarding scale in general for asymmetrical things

I can't decide if 3-wide of 4-wide is better

(in terms of hab blocks)

I've also never built anything that isn't taller; my primary corvette (and only one that remains unscrapped; also first build) is three? tall

[exotic spruce]

plenty of people like mega huge giant corvettes - I lean towards smaller 4 - 6 hab constructions

[raven rover]

best i could do with curves and zero mods involved

its actually so ass on how i need to do a bunch of glitches to do that

[shadow crown]

Imagine something like this but with one side cut short, as a basis for the "wings" or "prongs"

boy howdy if only I had drawing capabilities

[raven rover]

lemme try

[shadow crown]

or

Why is this the only game I can actually remember properly asymmetrical things from smh

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

[exotic spruce]

Yeah I don't think you're going to make a small one of theses

[shadow crown]

this image has a good representation of that curve as well

[raven rover]

like that??

[shadow crown]

Where having a "spine" really doesn't work

[raven rover]

I do think the curve is doable

[shadow crown]

yeah, but no need to have the joints between cockpit and "wings" like that

like they can be connected, that's fine

[raven rover]

But its not going to be habitable

[shadow crown]

oh for sure

[raven rover]

And its going to be pretty fat

[shadow crown]

I was thinking putting habs along the rear, and maybe a hab extended out on the long side

then the rest being the connectors and whatnot

[shadow crown]

something like this for the hab layout was my rough idea

[raven rover]

smth like this could work, the circular habs glitch but its not circular

[shadow crown]

also do note I'm significantly impaired when it comes to actual glitches in this game

[raven rover]

😭

[shadow crown]

most I've done is offsets

That's the problem, too: so much is glitchable but it feels like you can't do that at too small a scale w/o things breaking down

[raven rover]

Yeah small scale is hard

[shadow crown]

though admittedly I can't quite figure out how long that one you linked is

Something that's 3-4 habs at most, maybe a walkway to connect cockpit, would be neat with some aggressive asymmetry/spike stuff going on

but alas, brain soup

and not even good soup

[raven rover]

The donut ship?

[shadow crown]

yea

guess its only 2~ habs long?

4 "blocks" or something

maybe 5 or 6 blocks, rough guessing based off of the engine size. but I don't know off the top of my head how big the engine actually is can't recognize stuff like that

[raven rover]

Its a chonker

[main latch]

wsp

[shadow crown]

oh those are the bigger engines

lmao

I basically want a smaller scale thing to just zoop around in as a solo ship (my current one having multiple stairs gives me an aneurysm) and then I'll do something big

[raven rover]

Yeah the stairs are ass

[shadow crown]

short range teleporters working, please

[raven rover]

I do huge builds but i can only tolerate 1 floor to reach the cockpit

[shadow crown]

oh

[raven rover]

Cant be going up 5 flights of stairs

[shadow crown]

wait let me see if I can find it

[raven rover]

The siderails are goddamn imaginary

[shadow crown]

I adore designs like this

[raven rover]

It doesnt have collision 😭

[shadow crown]

but doing the bridge up high would make me want to kms

[raven rover]

Oh yaa that def doable

[golden tundra]

Same, I tried using the teleport only to find out it does not work lol

[shadow crown]

if only the scale was doable absolutely not replicatable in NMS I think

[raven rover]

I'd just place the entry bay up there

[shadow crown]

[raven rover]

With mods you can achieve smth huge

[shadow crown]

Panther is 1.5km long

[raven rover]

I mean its nowhere the size of a frigate

[shadow crown]

[raven rover]

But its big "enough"

[shadow crown]

Yeah

some of these profiles are also lovely

[raven rover]

yeahh

[main latch]

yooo its the fleet leader (real)

[shadow crown]

like

[raven rover]

[raven rover]

the curves on that...

[shadow crown]

X3 has some delightful ship designs

[raven rover]

But the front part is perfectly doable, but the scale is so off

[main latch]

btw we gotta assemble that corvette army i got a planet for a homeworld it looks so pretty

[shadow crown]

influenced in part by the fact that they're "realistic" with docking requirements, weapon placement, etc

[raven rover]

Thats literally a corvette phase beam cannon

[raven rover]

Hell yeahhh

[shadow crown]

honestly I wouldnt be surprised if the turret designs from that game inspired NMS in some way

X series is old lol

[raven rover]

When everyone is updated

[shadow crown]

I'll join in if I learn how to make things that aren't flying bricks

[raven rover]

flying bricks r cool 😭

[shadow crown]

or at least learn how to paint the nails on my bricks so they're pretty 💅

[raven rover]

Sllaaaayyyy 💅

[main latch]

beautiful desolate planet

[shadow crown]

That's part of why I want to do a big design

but idk which X3 ship I'd use as inspo

[raven rover]

Oh yeah thatd be sick for a photo

[main latch]

yuhhh

[raven rover]

i'd say the one that has the most hard angles

[shadow crown]

If only we could scale parts, too, damn

[raven rover]

Curves are not it rn

[shadow crown]

tbf #10 might work even w/ curves

[main latch]

heres the glyphs

[shadow crown]

because its curved but not like... curvy

[raven rover]

its fun flying a brick around

[shadow crown]

I just realized #4 looks kind of like a gun

As I was saying earlier

[raven rover]

It does

[shadow crown]

if NMS adds better space encounters and automatic turrets for corvettes

I'll be happy

I'll make my massive bricks and make them armed to the teeth and like it

[exotic spruce]

"Get out an push her if you have to, Mr. Scott - we need more speed!" Captain Kirk, probably.

[raven rover]

then it ends up like that

[shadow crown]

its sniffing for salvage

[exotic spruce]

so it's part Ostritch?

[main latch]

ship took a nap

[raven rover]

the funny thing is

I realized that the collision is only near the cockpit

[shadow crown]

perfect for drifting

[main latch]

yo zycrom do you know the aeron cockpit method?

[raven rover]

Yeah the thing that looks like a cokcpit

[main latch]

yeah where you glitch offset it to cover the cockpit? and it lets you see through it even in first person?

[raven rover]

Shouldve been an actual cockpit

[shadow crown]

is that the aeron winglet or w/e

[raven rover]

Oh didnt know you can see thru it

[shadow crown]

the thing that isn't a winglet and is basically a diffuser

[main latch]

yeah if you stuff the glass bit into the winglet you can see thru it in first person

[raven rover]

Its that right??

[shadow crown]

looks like it yes

wait you just half block offset one into the other

[raven rover]

Ooooohh

[raven rover]

Might try that

[main latch]

this is what it should look like if done correctly

[shadow crown]

does it matter which cockpit you use

idk if they have the same first person "hitbox" if that makes sense

[main latch]

nope as long as its not ambassador LMAO

[raven rover]

Id figure that the ambassador one wont work

Since you step down a bit

Yeah

[shadow crown]

ambassador is ugly anyway

[raven rover]

[main latch]

xd fr only the inside looks good

[raven rover]

The interior is actually really nice

Clear view

But the exterior...

[main latch]

rockhopper propeller offset method is easiest for pulling it off btw

[raven rover]

Yeahh

[shadow crown]

my ship uses ambassador habs but on the top floor which is just a hab+cockpit (and mission console) I swapped to thunderbird

[raven rover]

Might try that with a new build

[main latch]

🤢🤮

[shadow crown]

makes it more militarized at the top and doesn't look fugly outside

[shadow crown]

quick, make a weird asymmetric thing but with the atlas vibes

and definitely don't let me steal it

[main latch]

make a fighter instead of a mothership frfr

[raven rover]

i like golden fake cockpits to make it look like a real fighter jet cockpit

[raven rover]

I alr did

[main latch]

oh wait fr?

[raven rover]

this guy

[main latch]

oh dayum

btw zycrom wanna hear weird tech 💀💀💀

[shadow crown]

that's not a mothership, that's a milfship

[raven rover]

Gimme

[raven rover]

😭 😭 😭

[main latch]

your cockpit does not have to be connected to a hab for the back of it to be open so you can attach it using some bs and fly up to it without going into the habs (good for pirate ship builds probably)

[raven rover]

Oh yeahh

[main latch]

and you can just fly it like that

[raven rover]

Its always open

[main latch]

its so WEIRDDDD

[shadow crown]

attach it to a thunderbird elevator

get yourself the fast exit tech

and entry

[main latch]

lol

[raven rover]

attach it to nothing instead

[main latch]

yeah and just walk in

[raven rover]

And delete everything

[shadow crown]

you'd tp back up to it though

[raven rover]

Flying cockpit

[shadow crown]

there's a joke here

[raven rover]

[ripe axle]

lameeeeeee.

[main latch]

put the habs above the cockpit and literally everything that u need for a ship but make no way to enter anything but the cockpit 🗣️🔥

[shadow crown]

@raven rover here's an idea for you lol

[raven rover]

oh that might be doable

[shadow crown]

Yeah I was looking through a different size class (admittedly, those are bigger, but scale be damned) and realized that a bunch of the terran / terran-adjacent ships are probably doable

[raven rover]

Not sure abt the anttenae part tho

[shadow crown]

meh, ignore those

just put a radar array on the front and call it a day

[main latch]

ok actually infact upon closer inspection they didn’t

thats a non offset winglet on a hab

[limpid karma]

what do we think

dont hold back on any criticisms

[raven rover]

Honestly, its really goood

The only thing im not really liking is the back spike

Might just be me not liking that piece at all tho

[swift mist]

ambassador heavy boosters don't look like they belong

[raven rover]

oh hi smyrk

[swift mist]

they're a curved piece where everything else is angled and has hard edges

[swift mist]

yo

[raven rover]

heres the almost final thing of the jet that i showed you before

[swift mist]

yeah I saw that that's awesome!

[raven rover]

🙏

[swift mist]

where'd you hide the cockpit

[raven rover]

Right behind the gold fake cockpit

Under

No 1st person view

[swift mist]

i figured haha

[raven rover]

Might try making it work but

Id have to add 1 more level

😭

And that means

2 flights of stairs

😭

[swift mist]

how many floors does it have rn?

[raven rover]

2

2 habitable at least

[swift mist]

wittle legs

[raven rover]

Oh my god i hate it

[swift mist]

I saw them extend on a ship I had

[raven rover]

I changed to the mag ones

[swift mist]

instantly took them off

[raven rover]

SAME BRO

fricken high heels type shi

im keeping the front one tho

Probably bcs its hidden by some parts

It looks decent enough

[shut tusk]

i was doing a build using atlas parts, but now when i go to the build menu they're gone

[raven rover]

You didnt claim the thing

[swift mist]

yeah they're not bad as long as they're not fully exposed

[raven rover]

From qs guy

[raven rover]

Yuppp

@/winter's pic

😭 😭 😭

It looks so funny

[shut tusk]

youre a legend thanks got it

[raven rover]

🙏

[novel ibex]

How do you manage to position the parts with such precision without constraints?

[raven rover]

A bunch of offset and angling glitches

I do still have some constraints tho

[novel ibex]

Ok thx for your anwser. I'll do some try ^^

[golden tundra]

I built an entire Corvette before noticing that I can flip parts upsidedown. What a moron 🤦

[tulip zealot]

I think i actually like these more than the normal landing gear
Now that they patched the way to remove essential parts i actually need to put landing gear on
Though I'll probably use the hover thrusters most

[raven rover]

Yeah i like these more than the normal ones, but if theyre exposed like that...

Too skinny for me

[shut tusk]

vertical wing panels or naked?

i think i like them

[shadow crown]

I like them, but I don't like clipping into the ground... mixed thoughts

[shut tusk]

i agree but im not rebuilding the whole thing for that lol

[upper quartz]

Ngl that's kinda true for all legs

[fair pilot]

I've seen corvettes with alloy glass panels on the top of hubs - how to achieve that? Possible without mods?

[exotic spruce]

Thanks again everyone who let me know about the NMS bot service to copy ships last night - turned out well so now I'm spreading invasive species of plants all across the universe

[shut tusk]

bunch of tweaks with atlas parts thanks to @raven rover got my ship looking way better, i think im happy with it for now gonna do a basic interior

[raven rover]

ayyyyyy lookin greattt mann

[slender vessel]

How can i have a floor carpet cover the entire interior of the corvette without the edges being visible or the carpet clipping out of the corvette

[raven rover]

rugs?

[slender vessel]

Ye rugs

How do i make it such that a rug covers the entire floor but its edges are hidden and it dont clip

[raven rover]

Hmmm

No clip might be hard

Could just try scaling em

[slender vessel]

Like i wanna decorate the floor and make it seem like the floor is textured using the rug but the edges of the rug make it look weird

[raven rover]

But compromise on the clipping thing

[slender vessel]

Tried that but it starts clipping

[raven rover]

Yeah

Ive tried too

But i just went with it

[slender vessel]

Ts pmo 🥀

[raven rover]

Why not uh

Try wooden floors

Using actual base parts

[slender vessel]

Ayo holup can i recolor that

[raven rover]

You'd need to glitch em in/mod but ive seen em and they look cool

[raven rover]

I think so

[slender vessel]

[raven rover]

But not like red yellow etc

[slender vessel]

Bruh

[raven rover]

Only like actual wood colors

Shades of brown

[slender vessel]

No like
Darkwood or something
Or oak

[raven rover]

bruh indeed

😭

Yeahh you can

[slender vessel]

We need a corvette interiors update

And inventory search

[raven rover]

Try modding ig since ur on pc anyways

[raven rover]

ive requested that too

🙏

[slender vessel]

Lemme research

[raven rover]

Try exosolar & babs

[slender vessel]

Kk

[glad snow]

so i got parts and have made some corvettes, but seems i keep finding the same kind of parts. how do i go about finding different parts?

[south geyser]

Very random question , would anyone be interested in selling me a boat load of advanced corvette parts , I’ll pay in units and salvaged scrap ?

[sour herald]

It's Just random, good news is you can trade them to other part in space station for at least 2:1 for same type

[glad snow]

well i been doing salvageable scrap on a planet so i didn't know how i go about finding different parts

[sour herald]

its over there, just carful when you put item at module exchange it set automatically to max and make you loss all just for 1 item

[glad snow]

is this players or just random chance i can possibly unlock the item?

or not unlock? and just get 1?

[sour herald]

Even though it named barter it actually shop like other npc shop, if that what you asking

[glad snow]

didn't know if it traded other players

[sour herald]

Anyway just try it, all kind of part is there to chose (not expedition reward) just try make exchange odd 50% should be work (most of time)

[tranquil hedge]

any idea how to make this cascading pyramid shape

with just corvette parts

[slender vessel]

Ight
Yall be making some epic looking corvettes and thats cool

But lemme see your ugliest corvettes

[slender vessel]

Also rate this ugly ah corvette

[hoary agate]

When u have order in inventories no need for search bar

I dont even use auto sort

[slender vessel]

THERE IS AN AUTOSORT?

[hoary agate]

Yep

[slender vessel]

[hoary agate]

On the left side of inventory

[upper quartz]

There's different buttons for different sorting orders

[pastel tendon]

Is the infra-knife platform good?

[upper quartz]

Yes, though the phase beam is extremely strong apparently if you stack them

[pastel tendon]

Noice, thanks. Maybe I'll get it later, though I'm kinda tempted to just do the free crafting trick and get everything, but then I won't really be playing the actual game by doing that 😆

[upper quartz]

I do gather a bunch of corvette parts and then I feel justified in turning on free crafting for the next corvette I build lol

That way I gotta gather parts and get the experience and stuff, but don't gotta bother with getting the exact amount of parts I want, trading, bartering etc.

[pastel tendon]

Yeah, I guess that's fair cuz it is quite tedious to search for so many parts and then barter for the ones that we don't have

[slender vessel]

Anything i can improve in this?

[raven rover]

The ugliest part is the cockpit man

[raven rover]

Not sure about the rounded front, when the atlas parts are very angular

[slender vessel]

That was the plan
Small cockpit with wide wings

[slender vessel]

Lemme try to change it to rounded parts rq

[raven rover]

[slender vessel]

[raven rover]

sort by color

funny

[fair pilot]

Anyone tried to glitch windows to the roof of the corvette?

[mild stratus]

We need glass ceilings and floors for corvettes fr

[fair pilot]

fr.

[slender vessel]

Iteration 2

I was using the spiked stuff cuz its easier to use it vertically
Its hard to make stuff rounded in only 2 dimensions

[raven rover]

oh yeah that looks a bit more cohesive now

[raven rover]

Yeah man

[slender vessel]

But does it look better than the one before

[lean moon]

i love how the new wedges and aeron wings allow for proper delta-wings, the only thing still missing is a small part between the hab and the wedge

[raven rover]

try that

Add something at the bottom so it doesnt look as flat

also im not sure abt this thing

The middle thing with rockets and the rounded corner thing

[slender vessel]

Ight

[lean moon]

@bitter canopy absolutely

[bitter canopy]

waaaagh!

[lean moon]

the only part i don't like about my delta wing above is that the front looks like it's a seperate part from the rest

too many edges

[ember scaffold]

I was looking for these engine parts and couldn't find them. You can pick up to 3 items TO trade for the item you want and it will give you a percentage for the deal. I've gotten parts at 39%
They love rocket launchers 😉

[glad snow]

nice

[lean moon]

i figured that it's cost-related, values of similar cost trade easier than cheap bodykits

[glad snow]

i really hate when building it doesn't tell me how many of those pieces i have!!!

[ember scaffold]

Not sure yet. I just know everything I've wanted, they give me 99% for 1 rocket launcher haha

[ember scaffold]

This is killing me. So ready to make this nice part and missing that one last piece. Ugh.

[glad snow]

i am having a horrible time trying to make ends of my habs look decent

[lean moon]

or being able to "Schedule" those parts as placeholders and just saving the schematic to trade it

[lean moon]

same, check some of my attempts:

[slender vessel]

I got no clue on how to fix this corner gap thing
Im using the speedbird diffusers mainly here

[lean moon]

if you want some contrast, try the thermal grille

[slender vessel]

Like i wanna smooth it out
The upper diffuser's bottom line is creating a sharp line and this gap is noticable
I wanna fix that gap
I doubt a grille would help here tbh

[lean moon]

another trick is the nacelle with another overlapping part over the second half

[ember scaffold]

There are workarounds that are being referred to as "glitching" but you're pretty much creating an underlay mold (usually with habs) and then removing it so the overlapping parts stay. Use your habs to outline your ship. Then add pieces over each other so there's smoothness then remove the under-hab.
Experiment!

suggestions to improve? i was bored and js made this in like 20 mins, but i feel like there is potential

[flat current]

Maybe make it wider?

[slender vessel]

Would prefer not glitching
But i found a workaround

Opinions?

@lean moon

[balmy cedar]

I love building

Like.

[ember scaffold]

I get it but it's just simple clipping of pixels. It's not like exploiting for advantage of any kind. If it makes it look nice and doesn't break anything, hurts nobody, what's the harm? I want my ships to look sleek.

[balmy cedar]

HG struck gold

[slender vessel]

I gotta learn how it works exactly
And that gonna take some time

Also sometimes i lag like crazy when a glitched build enters the anomaly so i aint risking someone else's game

But regardless i found a workaround so
Noice

[ember scaffold]

Just keep it simple. I'm working with what works, basically.

[sage wolf]

Glitched builds shouldn't lag unless they have a lot of parts

Glitching parts doesn't cause lag, only the number of parts

[ember scaffold]

I saw a big warhammer mech. Looked cool, highly impractical and probably a pain to get in. Lagged the game a bit. Not for me.

[slender vessel]

Ig thats why i lagged
Bro's ship almost took up two corvette landing slots

[ember scaffold]

It also doesn't bother me because I honestly wouldn't want like a dozen hab units around my med sized ship being like the Plaza hotel lol. It just make parts seem attached as they should be when the game won't let you click it together.

[sage wolf]

This is a very glitched build i did that has basically no lag because it's well under 100 parts and only has one hab; it's small corvette, not much bigger than a hauler

[lean moon]

i recognise the cannon style :)

i now fixed it this way

but i'm hoping for a better solution in the future

though a bit of colouring also did the trick

[glad snow]

so sometimes i can connect shield generators to parts and they go invisible, but then other times they don't. gettign frustrated

You know how sentinel interceptors essentially have a virtual cockpit canopy? Why can't we have that for corvettes so you can put the cockpit anywhere inside the ship and still fly first-person?

[raven rover]

Thats what ive been wanting too 😭

or

a small camera thing

We place it where we want to see

Cockpit is buried somewhere but with that camera, we can still see outside

[random zinc]

That's a great idea, for use with the virtual canopy!

[raven rover]

If having a sentinel cockpit is too hard to code

[slender vessel]

Technically you can bury the cockpit anywhere and use third person

[raven rover]

Yup but we still want 1st person

[slender vessel]

Fair

[raven rover]

A external camera would solve that problem

[random zinc]

Yeah, first person ftw

[slender vessel]

Also @raven rover
Check it out

[raven rover]

I like both, but having both options is nice

[slender vessel]

Ignore the color

[raven rover]

Oooohhhhh

I like it

[random zinc]

With my corvette, I can't fly it third person because it's too tall 🙂

[raven rover]

If ur on pc you can try a camera mod

[slender vessel]

The entrance hab forms the mouth

[raven rover]

Only other way is to put the cockpit higher up

So the camera moves up

[slender vessel]

Glitch building the cockpit to somehow make it invisible?
Can it be made invisible?

[raven rover]

Yeahh i saw that

[random zinc]

Yeah. I have conflicting goals so this was a compromise

[raven rover]

Not that i know of

Maybe with blender

[slender vessel]

[raven rover]

Like make it really small

But the prompt to sit is still there

Ive seen that beforr

[slender vessel]

Can work
Too bad i dont know how to use blender

[raven rover]

Anyway, wouldve liked to see out in first person with this

But i cant figure out a good place to put it

Everything is too compact and squished together

[random zinc]

I want a no more than three walkway length from landing bay to cockpit with no obtrusive things to get in the way, but I still want access to 2 refiners, a nutrition unit. and all 10 storage containers.

[raven rover]

[random zinc]

A virtual cockpit canopy would solve this 🙂

[raven rover]

100%

Place it like 1 hab before the entryway

While the ship is like 10 habs long

[random zinc]

yeah, that'd work great!

[raven rover]

I do have a solution

Why not underbelly cockpit?

And build everything else on top

With underbelly cockpit, you still have a clear view

this is my example

[random zinc]

I tried this, but all the landing bays aren't built for ground level.

[raven rover]

cockpit is there

[random zinc]

so you need to descend into a hab to get into the cockpit

[raven rover]

Pretty much unobstructed view

[raven rover]

1 block up from touching the ground

Since the landing ramp is 2 blocks

So its a straight shot from the ramp

[random zinc]

I see. I did that too, but I did find that overhanging part a bit obtrusive personally.

Maybe someone will find a glitch so the cockpit can be installed upside down.

it's space, so what's up anyway 😉

[raven rover]

Yeah, its not bad for my taste but i can see it being obtrusive

But yeah every cockpit viewing problem could be solved with an external camera 😭

We can decide where we want the camera to be

[random zinc]

I tried mitigating that by making it taller, but that was an ugly ship from the outside

[raven rover]

Up a bit down a bit

[raven rover]

Yeahh

We do a lot of compromises

😔

[karmic dome]

so do people dogfight in their corvettes or nah?

[raven rover]

uh why not?

[random zinc]

my compromise corvette is ugly enough as it is.

[raven rover]

😭 😭

[karmic dome]

it be feeling slow and cumbersome as oppose to using a fighter

[raven rover]

Oh, yeah

Im used to slow ships so it doesnt matter to me

[random zinc]

Absolutely. Mine is a daily driver, and with 2600 maneuverability, it's faster than my sentinel interceptor

[raven rover]

very nice

[karmic dome]

it's like watching an Arkbird from Ace Combat in a different game

[raven rover]

[random zinc]

I focused heavily on maneuverability first, and then the photon cannon next. 🙂 (yeah, photon cannon)

[raven rover]

Nah photon cannon is really good

[raven rover]

Ace combat 6?

[karmic dome]

thought the main broke weapon was the Phase Beam

[raven rover]

Yeah phase beam is mega busted

[karmic dome]

7 Skies Unknown

[raven rover]

Actual bullshit damage

[random zinc]

I don't know. A lot of people seem to go with the infraknife

[raven rover]

Ts has zero upgrades too

[raven rover]

Its really good

But photon gets underestimated all the time

Photon when upgraded still clears all content

Well, any does tbh
