nms-corvette-discussion

[sage wolf]

I mean i still make corvettes just for fun; i just tend to make them, take some pictures, and then never use them again lol

[random zinc]

there's a mod that lets you build system scanners into the corvette

[pseudo charm]

yeaaah I heard about your ship mister.. oh yeah.

[raven rover]

I have been in the club since i discovered no complexity limit mod

😭

[sage wolf]

They're also proving to be far more useful on my perma death save where I don't catalog

[abstract crow]

But have you heard of the latest one?

[pseudo charm]

good lord how you even get that to fit in there? its so big on a freighter!

[raven rover]

I showed it to him

Your latest one right

[pseudo charm]

I heard about the football field .. you need spanked 🙂

[raven rover]

Megachonker of a build

[random zinc]

shrink it with the scaling glitch

[abstract crow]

Yup.

[pseudo charm]

that should be the official name

[abstract crow]

You can't spank me. I'm safe in my ship.

[random zinc]

the same way you can have "cockpitless" corvettes

[pseudo charm]

sheesh Imma stick with the super computer heh

[sage wolf]

I tried this and it let's you place it and use it, but there's like a 50% you'll fall through the floor when you walk into it

[abstract crow]

Running around in the large empty section and looking through the gaps I still need to fix.

[sage wolf]

You have to basically cover it in parts to manually fix all the collision gaps

[pseudo charm]

all the more reason why I recommend the supercomputer by Gumsk. Good lord you don't wanna fall out just tryin to do your space job!

[sage wolf]

Same issue with any other freighter parts on corvettes

[pseudo charm]

I will admit they did manage to patch well so that if I go down the stairs I don't fall out at warp anymore

[abstract crow]

There's only two large ones near the engine's and they're only visible in third-person or by jumping.

[pseudo charm]

That alone made me very happy! Now super productive while at warp

[sage wolf]

I try not to use mods that add or change functionality. I'm fine with beyond base building because technically everything you can do with it, including on corvettes, can be done with glitches

[pseudo charm]

I was that way too sir. then you come to over time start to trust certain mods 🙂 I am cnvinced at some point they will add this functionality into corvettes.. just not out the door

[sage wolf]

I mean even if they do, my freighter will still be better because of the hyperdrive range and how it skips pirate and freighter fights

Especially since I don't land on every planet; only ones that look interested

Most systems i warp to, I don't land on any planets

[pseudo charm]

every captain has his own process. if it works for you then more power to ya! I use my freighter as a bookmark these days.

[sour kelp]

Scan with the freighters scanning room, map everything, land on what’s fun

[sudden torrent]

new player corvette

[pseudo charm]

Mitey go out exploring. finds a system he liked and wants more info on.. warps in freigter. Heads home to do stuff and then warps back to freigter so as to not lose place.

[sudden torrent]

cockpit looks weird

[random zinc]

man, even that new player corvette looks better than mine 🙁

[sage wolf]

Also my freighter has a lot of sentimental value. It's S class that I got before super charged slots were added, and when they added sc slots, I got insanely lucky and ended up with a 3+1 combo

[sudden torrent]

😭 dont worry, ive been grinding whole day

[random zinc]

I've been grinding for at least a month!

[sudden torrent]

ummm.....

all i did was search for scraps on planets

[raven rover]

You need to cover it more

[sudden torrent]

and then mixed matched what ever i had in hands

[raven rover]

Its sticking out too much

[sour kelp]

I don’t wanna admit how long I salvaged for my latest corvette lol

[raven rover]

Add stuff to the side/on top of it

[sudden torrent]

yeah, i think i need to add something solid on the bottom

[raven rover]

And the sides

[sudden torrent]

alright

[raven rover]

You can extend the sides by 1 block forward

[random zinc]

Oh, that, it's not lacking parts... It's lacking the skill to use them properly

[raven rover]

Might help with the sticking out thing

🙏

[sudden torrent]

just keep trial and error-ing and you will come across something you love

[raven rover]

But it looks good man

[raven rover]

realest shit

[sudden torrent]

ill have to insert two habs on side and to extend it i think

[raven rover]

A walkway hab

[sudden torrent]

yes

smol one

[raven rover]

Or move the cockpit backwards

Might look stubby but it works

[random zinc]

maybe I should post mine here and ask for suggestions but people keep posting great ones and intimidate me into silence.

[raven rover]

dew it fam

Lemme see

[sudden torrent]

ill try stuff next time i open it, enough grind for today

[raven rover]

Goodluck!

[sudden torrent]

do it!

[random zinc]

and also that bot keeps saying I shouldn't post pictures and run

[sudden torrent]

thank you!

[raven rover]

If youre adding discussions to it

Its fine

Just asking : what should i add, is a discussion

[random zinc]

ok. I'll grab some shots of it. I just wish I had the glyphs to get to that really bright station.

[raven rover]

I'd just photograph it in space

Space station is hella dark

Without mods at least

[random zinc]

there's a really bright one that some youtuber posted which I copied down, but I only have 10 glyphs (been neglecting the game and messing with my corvette)

I haven't found a system where I can see the dark parts of my corvette in space

[raven rover]

Oof

[random zinc]

actually wait... I always forget about photomode filters. Are there any that help?

[marsh epoch]

@crude ravine #nms-showcase-corvettes message this actually looks way cooler than the previous steel variant imo

[random zinc]

Has anyone built a corvette where you can see thruster trails from within the cockpit?

[crude ravine]

Oh, is that so xD

[marsh epoch]

well the previous has its own taste but i like the atlas one more

looks like a ww2 space fusioned submarine

[crude ravine]

I had my inspirations from this one, which is the [Free Planets Alliance Forces Battleship Hyperion] from a "Legend of the Galactic Heroes : Die Neue"

i guess compare to the previous version, the Atlas Version's shape is more refine

[crude ravine]

Ah xD

i should refine this design more then owo)

[marsh epoch]

oh yea, i was like why is it so familiar

the dev team should be working on a solution, but that's typically whack-a-mole, to be clear.

[crude ravine]

Still, thanks ^^)

makes me really hearing that ^^)

I'll do my best to refine this Corvette design !

[hardy olive]

If I copy my expedition Corvette after completing the expedition, do the installed upgrade modules come with?

[random zinc]

yes

and even the installed stuff like refiners and mission computers

[hardy olive]

Thank you.

[slender vessel]

Question
Can we place down ANY base items on a corvette
Like are certain items restricted or anything goes
Im talking exterior

[fervent mist]

1978!!!!!

[marsh epoch]

only when you are in space station iirc. (not anomaly or any planet surface). The landing pad in space station let you place pretty much anything on the ship anywhere. but the ship modules have wonky surface so it would be hard to attach things on the exterior

[marsh epoch]

T pose into the hole

[uneven cloak]

i love this

[autumn olive]

Is there a fix to the bug where your corvette can no longer dock at space stations or the anomaly?

[south geyser]

It made me laugh , I was tryna zoom out to get a cool shot of the ship going in then zoomed a bit far and boom , there I am

[autumn olive]

My expedition corvette disappeared after copying. It’s invisible with nothing left but some installed tech.

I put a case ticket in but haven’t heard back. Just a heads up.

[fair pilot]

I've combined hell of an engine.

Lady Cass v2, improved and optimized.

Oh, noticed a mistake btw.

Nothing critical tho

[hexed thicket]

My final attempt at this kind of ship. Going to grind out some decoratives and try some more conventional builds next.

I quite like how the atlas shield generators fit into the thruster intakes, even if it takes some shenaniganery to pull off. :)

[swift mist]

#nms-showcase-corvettes

[fair pilot]

Better visual on the engine lol xD

[dusty violet]

Hey guys I've always wanted to play NMS and now I've got the chance to play it.

And it's been 3 days and I've been getting all the reels of new custom made ships.
So I thought about making my own, what you all think about the Q-ship from avengers infinity war of the new york battle??

[trail hornet]

i LOVE this design, can i eat it

[trail hornet]

you should to the AoS quinjet instead

[hexed thicket]

Valid point, but I also don't want to just come into the discussion empty-handed. :P
I know the Atlas-style corvettes are no longer "in vogue" as it were, but there's still some interesting design techniques to unlock in those parts.

[fair pilot]

I can share it, probably. Cons - tunnel interior, no windows. Waiting until we can slap windows on the roofs.

[trail hornet]

also that would be cool

[trail hornet]

i'm just gonna have it with my eggs tonight

[dusty violet]

Naah the Q Ship would be more cool

[trail hornet]

i'm planning on making a quinjet but nobody else has idt 😭

[swift mist]

i like the vertical blades over the aeron wings

[trail hornet]

q ship would be sick tho

havent seen many good ones

[dusty violet]

Yeah isn't it but how in world should I start building it

[trail hornet]

no clue man

block out the shape with habs and glitchbuild your way to heaven lol

[hexed thicket]

See, that's what I mean. It looks cool, but you can't normally do that. Nor can you put an engine on the back pylon. You need a structural block in there, at an offset no less. And you can't even take that block out later because the wing piece completely covers its hitbox.

[swift mist]

you'd be brave for trying that if you dont have much time in the corvette builder in the first place

[trail hornet]

you're no doubt gonna need complexity remover mod if you want a good shape

[hexed thicket]

But once you do all that, it looks cool. If you use a walkway for the structural piece, you can even mount decoratives to it sideways (e.g. the missile launchers I have on there).

[swift mist]

the wing is huge! i found a hab in it that i forgot to take out the other day

[dusty violet]

Yeah I know that it's very difficult to make, but currently what should I do, just focus on the game journey for now or try to make it??

I mean it's going to be stuck in my mind

[swift mist]

idk you have the freedom to do whatever you want lol

[hexed thicket]

That it is. A full hab is just barely long enough to be selectable at the front of the mesh. :P
Also the front tips are thick enough to place weapons into. I have some ballistas on there, just barely visible. :)

[dusty violet]

Yeah, but I also want to know about the artimis, about the whole original story but also want to build it......🤔🤔

[swift mist]

pop into creative and play around with the builder then to scratch that itch

[fair pilot]

The build is very easy btw

[trail hornet]

nice

[dusty violet]

I currently don't have any friends to play with, all my friends think they are too mature to play these childish games.
Are you available for help me build it....🥲

[swift mist]

id be down to play but im at work for another 5 hours

my specialty is in fighter style corvettes too so im not sure how much help id be 😅

[cobalt harbor]

the fate of all fools

[dusty violet]

1. Yeah I also do work and will only play at home in free time
2. Once the Q-ship is ready everyone is gonna scared of Thanos.

[lament abyss]

@dusty violet

No gifs in this channel please

[dusty violet]

Oh yeah sorry sorry 😅

[marsh epoch]

what decoratives?

[fervent mist]

Is it possible for someone to give me the ATLAS parts

[balmy cedar]

Sadly no

You'd need to outright unlock them yourself

The expedition isn't too bad

[fervent mist]

Damn

[copper edge]

Hey look, I'll never need to go back to RSI again.

[balmy cedar]

I dunno what more to add to my pirate ship

More sails?

[tame patio]

My new Corvette has 18k DPS with just photon cannon and I tested it out Vs pirates and they got melted.

I popped an anomaly finder and didn't know you could get these outside of the expedition.

[glass cloak]

Folks, this is a sort of small "luxury" dining space in the passenger corvette I've designed. The issue, of course, is hit boxes, and once you've sat down? You're stuck. Any suggestions on what to turn this into INSTEAD?

[trail hornet]

dance floor

[glass cloak]

I've heard worse ideas. COULD turn it into a bar?

[trail hornet]

maybe?

[glass cloak]

I've unlocked most of the stuff you can with salvaged data, or at least the decorative stuff. Apart from the cups, are there any bottles or things I can decorate a corvette bar with?

[trail hornet]

no clue, i dont do interiors or base building lol

i'm an adventurer and corvette builder, i dont mess with interiors

[abstract crow]

I'm going to struggle with the interior of my corvette. I'm hoping I can out some windows along the sides so I can have a more scenic view, but I have no idea if that'll work with the design.

[slender vessel]

Is there some way to do wiring on a corvette exterior?

[slow harbor]

Can someone explain to me what changed in farming an S-class dreadnaught with the corvette? didn't it break since you get a restore point when exiting the cockpit?

[warm breach]

what do yall think of my first corvette ship?

[shadow wraith]

The dreadnought/freighter despawns immediately if you left the cockpit UNLESS you already finished off the pirates

But at that point you just get stuck with the class it has ever since you jumped to the system

[slow harbor]

yeah but you can't restore-point respawn it if you don't like the class?

since restore point is in your corvette then?

[shadow wraith]

You can't if you already cleared the pirates off

The proper way is to load the save BEFORE you jump to the system

[slow harbor]

but you can with a normal ship tho

[slow harbor]

yeah but corvettes create the restore point when you stand up don't they

[shadow wraith]

Yes, it creates two: the moment you cleared the "quest", and the moment you get off the cockpit

[slow harbor]

but normal ships don't?

[shadow wraith]

From my experience it happens as long as you got off the cockpit

[slow harbor]

cos i remember how normal ship dreadnaught farming works

[shadow wraith]

I just farmed my way to S-class by copy-pasting a set save over and over until I got the proper class

Which is a lot tedious even with IK 4SC

[fair pilot]

Well okay.

[slow harbor]

This happened too

[shadow wraith]

Mmm spicy GPUs

My B580 is dying whenever I go to the Anomaly

[slow harbor]

idk i have a 3050 and it passes this with flying colors

worst i've seen were 50 frames when someone was flying a corvette the size of a freighter

with landing pads

and houses and whatnot

[abstract crow]

My 4070 Super will stutter hard when I first call out/take off in my massive ships. I've stayed out of the anomaly anyways because two massive ships or fully decorated ones can still add instability

[shadow wraith]

I actually don't see anyone's corvette completely except mine

This is on Ultra with AA off

By "dying", it's the game trying to compile shaders every time something appears out of the door, but otherwise 80FPS

[balmy cedar]

Just add two sofas on either side and get a topographical table

Stick it where the normal table goes

[random zinc]

what's the topographicnl table

[feral swan]

This might actually be the most hideous thing I’ve ever created lol

[sick pawn]

rookie moves 😛 (there's a streamer out there with a giant brick he flies around)

[copper quarry]

so can you not edit your corvette after you put down decorations outside of it ?? or is something wrong

[sick pawn]

what's the interior look like?

that seems buggy

[copper quarry]

it says not all modules are connected

[sick pawn]

ok well there's something not attached then, you'll need to fix that

[copper quarry]

well i cant see what it is unless its one of the glitched decorations on the outside

[sick pawn]

could be, it should show red when you hover over it

[fervent mist]

Imagine tearing the ship apart to find it

Ouch

Totally haven’t done that before to find out it was a disconnected item above my corvette

[agile hamlet]

Wild. I'm in my Corvette in a station and several of thr hab units are see-through, as if they are made from glass.
They just self-corrected while typing this out. Wild.

[fervent mist]

Did you paint your corvette parts with paint all? I know that happened with the Aeron blade when I was painting my ship

[agile hamlet]

I did, prior to copying the ship into the expedition.

[fervent mist]

Yeah that pretty much confirms my suspicions 😅 I knew it had something to do with painting, I had to reload a save to fix it…

[copper quarry]

its fine it was like 2 things

[agile hamlet]

I'd love glass habs.

[fervent mist]

Ez pz

[fervent mist]

Yeah me too, would work very well for people who treat their corvettes like gardens

[fair pilot]

Oh, nice hauler!

[agile hamlet]

It kind of reminds me of the ship Andor flies from the heist.

The Eye episode

[terse kestrel]

Would say that episode goes hard. But the entire series does

[unborn basin]

what do i do with this

is it just gone

[agile hamlet]

It is a Corvette part that you can use to build a custom ship.

[terse kestrel]

Like forget lightsabers. Forget starships. The greatest battle in Star Wars ever was Cassian versus Syril on Ghorman.

[unborn basin]

i'm well aware

[terse kestrel]

Makes a good Wing or cover piece

[unborn basin]

however, if you notice, it is both upside down and greyed out

[fervent mist]

Why is it greyed?

Oops sorry

[agile hamlet]

Aye. 😎

[fervent mist]

Gonna be attempting to make my corvette look as alien as I can for probably the whole day today

Idk why I love spending so much time changing it

[turbid meteor]

any idea how to improve this design wise

or do you guys like it

[unborn basin]

uh, could we see it with some lighting

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

[fervent mist]

I can’t really see as much as we should

Move flame ball overhead

[sweet rune]

So where can I start building a corvette?

[unborn basin]

space station

there should be 4 big landing pads with teleporters

[fervent mist]

It’s a bummer the anomaly doesn’t have an area separated from the landing pads to let you customise your corvette

[unborn basin]

yeah

its also annoying that abandoned stations don't have teleporters

[fervent mist]

And outlaw lol

[unborn basin]

walking to the normal area from the pads is super annoying

at least the outlaw ones let you beam to the main area

[sweet rune]

So none of these pirate controlled systems have them then?

[fervent mist]

Wait wait, do outlaw stations dock corvettes outside?

[unborn basin]

yeah

they let you park outside

[fervent mist]

They have portals but that’s about as close to teleporting pads that you’ll get, but no ig it makes sense that they don’t have them considering corvettes dock outside

[fervent mist]

Okay!

abandoned stations make my skin itch

For the love of god please take your rocket boots with you when you’re playing expeditions

[sweet rune]

lol

[cursive lark]

They don't? They suck inside and you have to walk for like 300 u to get to the main area of the station

[fervent mist]

So it’s just abandoned stations all over again 🥲

[terse kestrel]

You can sell anything to the Corvette building station. Just go into parts purchasing and when the screen pops up you get the sell option

So if you just needing to sell off some stuff you don't have to go all the way to the back of the station for the trade terminal.

[fervent mist]

It’s not usually the first thing to be thought of, sometimes I’m convinced people don’t know the parts cache exist either

[unborn basin]

my friend uses the cache to store stuff

like not just parts

[fervent mist]

How tho?

[terse kestrel]

As long as you go through your inventory and transfer items you can stick stuff in there

[unborn basin]

and im convinced something will happen to them because when i hear cache i think of something that is cleared every once in a while

[terse kestrel]

I keep common items that are desirable by guild donations. Such as pirate transponders, exosuit maps and others in there

And since it's the same inventory in every Galaxy and every space station you can fill it up with trade goods if you don't have enough inventory space in your ship. And then pick up those goods at a station that you want to sell it to. At that station

[fervent mist]

I might stick gifts in there too

[terse kestrel]

Really good during trade surges. You can just fly around the Galaxy filling up that cache. And then go to the station that's having the trade surge, pick everything up and sell it off

[fervent mist]

I can’t react, was gonna give that a flame emote

[hardy oracle]

Why not just use a freighter for storage? You can access it from anywhere as long as you have the matter beam tech installed

[fervent mist]

Also is it better to sell to pilots Isntead of booking it to the trade terminal? Apparently the pilots pricing aren’t affected

[terse kestrel]

My freighter is typically full of common use items and build items I need to call down on planets. Not a whole lot of inventory space for a lot of trade goods

[fervent mist]

I fill my freighter with starship fuel and what not

[terse kestrel]

Yeah. Selling only to the pilot will not crash the economy. So you can keep selling them stuff for the entire 3 hours of the surge. For maximum value

[fervent mist]

im loving these new parts

[terse kestrel]

That's nice

[unborn basin]

where's your cockpit

[fervent mist]

stuffed in there

[fervent mist]

That sounds super, definitely taking advantage of that

[unborn basin]

with so many atlas parts, who needs to have eyes on the road

[fervent mist]

oh you can still see through the cockpit window

we are good

[fervent mist]

I did the same thing, except there’s zero visibility in first person, but the ship isn’t my daily so I’m not bothered, needed to happen to fulfil my creative wishes

[unborn basin]

OH WHOA

thats sick

[fervent mist]

i had too many mega ships. Trying to keep it effecient at this point so I can use it daily

[terse kestrel]

That looks like a corrupted squid ship

[unborn basin]

atlas=illuminate confirmed

[fervent mist]

hahaha

[fervent mist]

Tanks!

[fervent mist]

Liberty runs hot through my veins, I’m innocent by default!

[fervent mist]

I love this

[unborn basin]

hmm... i suppose if its corrupted that means that its able to work for super earth

[fervent mist]

thas right

YES it’s an SEAF prototype

[livid veldt]

What part is that - front thing?

[unborn basin]

creature projector i believ

[fervent mist]

I need one

[livid veldt]

Oh damn, yea

What is that a plant?

[fervent mist]

Can it project any creature in your logs?

It’s a big bug face

[livid veldt]

Any you've added to your Personal Wonders.

[fervent mist]

From the looks of it

[fervent mist]

Awesome!

[livid veldt]

You can have like 12 or 16 in there

but...

You can make a wonder projection of one, lay it down, and then replace it in your Wonders and make another -- you can make a limitless amount.

But, only 10 per base.

Like the dumpsterfire can

[fervent mist]

Since when?!?! dumpster fire can is wanted

I’ve got a lot to learn about this game

[livid veldt]

Fire barrel is a standard part I think

[fervent mist]

If I could make my corvette interior look like a downtown alley then I’m for it

[livid veldt]

Take your time -- I didn't do the Atlas Path quest for nearly 9 years, then finally did it.

I’ve completed the main game, I’m just exploring at this point and experimenting with the corvette workshop, it’s so fun

I also like giving people stuff at the anomaly and dragging afk players into my ship

[fervent mist]

It took you nine years to create a new galaxy? Interesting, maybe I could have given myself the opportunity to expand my time on this game for that long if I’d waited too lol

[weak jacinth]

We need someone to make a flying dumpster fire Corvette. Because of the meme

[fervent mist]

Or a clock ⏰

Because time sure flies when you’re playing this game

Corny my bad

[weak jacinth]

Time flies when you're having fun

[unborn basin]

made this monstrosity on the corvette expedition because i didn't know you could transfer more items by going back and forth between the primary save and the expedition, so i stuck all the corvette parts on one thing

[fervent mist]

YOU CAN?

I mean I know that’s helpful because I knew that

Looks like a giant ground skipper or what’s it called

I realised I could totally make an atlas inspired Firefly from the show Firefly

Anyone reckon the Aeron parts could make something similar?

[abstract crow]

Someone should make an actual Atlas ship and terrorize space with it.

[weak jacinth]

Take my love.. take my land.. take me where I can not stand..

I mean.. I can send you the link to my Spotify playlist if you want

[fervent mist]

Yeah sure!

[fervent mist]

I’ve just allowed direct messaging too in case links aren’t permitted here

[weak jacinth]

I wasn't even going to attempt a link here lol.

[fervent mist]

Completely understandable lol.

[misty goblet]

now that the expedition is over for me, how are you meant to get corvette parts normally?

[terse ingot]

Ho on planets with salvagable scrap

If you already have a small corvette, go to the planet's surface and set autopilot to "maintain flight course"

Then, while your corvette is flying and you're inside, use your analysis visor to locate salvagable tech modules, tag them, get back into your corvette's seat and shoot at them

[fair pilot]

@viral bear Lady Cass ain't a transport ship, but I glad to know thay you like it! 🙂

[viral bear]

I know it isn’t, but it kinda looks like the one I imagine one to look like lol. (Maybe it’s the Star Wars nerd in me) Very nice ship.

[fair pilot]

😄

Yeah, maybe a bit like SW ship.

[lapis merlin]

Alright builders, who’s up for a challenge build?

[misty goblet]

How do I get the non-corvette parts out?

[tame patio]

Trying to use less prices to make a storage room in my new corvette and it at least has enough differences to not look repetitive.

[agile hamlet]

Dusty Approach

[fathom river]

Is it possible to build a base on a corvette or place more of the base parts not included in the main corvette decorations

[fluid echo]

not sure about other parts but you can get all your storages in there, refining room and plants

[balmy cedar]

I know some fun songs to fly to.

ELO, the GOTG soundtrack, Black Sabbath

[lime fractal]

Stand next to the corvette cache, go to your exosuit inventory, click on an empty spot to activate quick transfer, select corvette cache

[random zinc]

I need some help with my corvette. Any suggestions on how to make it look less like a box? I think I've finally gotten the rear view to look reasonable (kind of), but I'm stuck on that boxy shape from the top-down view.

[glass surge]

Depends on the base part as some are now removed due to being able to corrupt your save file and instability but in general most decoration you can use; multiple plants might not render right from what i've seen others post

[exotic spruce]

love the show - HATE the ship

[pseudo forge]

100%. That ship be U G L Y.

[fervent mist]

I absolutely adore it for its ugliness 😂

[exotic spruce]

plenty of ugly things have heart and soul - the ship design is a whole lotta WTF were they thinking for a commercial spaceship?

[tame patio]

Before I changed my ship I had a ship collide with my ship.

[exotic spruce]

I speak out of frustration trying to follow ship plans from the internet and trying to build it in several games, especially Starfield

[fervent mist]

I think it’s unique 😂 it kind of has some resemblance to a firefly being its big engine 😅 but it looks more like an animal of flight

[exotic spruce]

I hear ya - it's the bridge to the cargo area that throws me for a loop

[onyx sentinel]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/s/D43dFE8EfA
saw this scrolling Reddit and had to share

[fervent mist]

I agree with top comment

[fervent mist]

That’s why I lean towards exterior design 😅 I will absolutely sacrifice the insides of my corvette if it means from an outside perspective, it looks like firefly. Only my daily has a planned interior

[onyx sentinel]

I’m still trying to really figure out the corvette stuff, I just started playing like 5 days ago. Decided to give it a try again since the release and I’ve been loving it

[tepid valve]

Is there a way to place a portal on a corvette?

[random zinc]

with a mod, yes

[tepid valve]

What about console?

Glitch or otherwise

[onyx sentinel]

If he said with a mod I’m assuming not an option

[fathom river]

Ok well I’m just trying to get a mech exocrafton one and make a mech scraper pirate ship

By the way, thank you for your help !

[random zinc]

The transfer glitch might work (the one where you confuse the system into letting you open the base build menu on the corvette) or it might corrupt your save.

Speaking of glitches, which ones do you allow on the corvette? I'm okay with anything that you can do with the true corvette build menus (though I'm too inept for the arbitrary rotation glitches)

[terse kestrel]

You can place one on there as decoration but you cannot wire it up. Just like the short-range teleporter there's no options to wire them for power or connect them together.

Also when placing base or freighter parts onto your Corvette place some and then take it for a test or flight. Many of those parts break physics of your Corvette and cause it to slam into invisible walls. Spinning out of control. So if that happens to you you need to delete something you just build

[hollow dock]

dafuq, bro made a whole frigatte 😂

[onyx nebula]

Respect for ppl who have the patience to place all those panels

[abstract crow]

Not exactly something I'd bring into the anomaly because of that

[hollow dock]

For real, it took like almost 10 minutes to render this thing when he arrived

[shut tusk]

im not sure why, but it let me merge the reactor, weapons, and thrusters under the cockpit for this tiny ship

[sage wolf]

I love this; this is the kind of corvette I want

[crude minnow]

How does this look for a first corvette?

[lament flame]

Looks like results are tied, yknow what that means

[lament flame]

Atlas probe wins (wheel of names)

[lament flame]

New vote: interior
(current ship design: Small, Atlas Probe)
Opposite of exterior - 🫄
Clean and Sleek -
Dark and grimy -

[terse kestrel]

Yeah and in the process a few people in the anomaly probably crashed out. While players on weaker systems were suffering frame loss badly.

Those things are cool. But they need to keep them out of the anomaly.

Aura farming is stupid if you're jacking up other people's game doing it

[terse kestrel]

It's because of the rockhopper wings. They have various snap points at both the regular spot and a halfway point. Allowing you to wedge mini parts in a small space by using them

When connected to the right side of the ship they have 3 normal snap points. Went on the left side of the ship there are 3 normal and 2 set at half way

When you put them on opposing sides you're creating three snap points in the same space that can be used separately.

[shut tusk]

that would make sense, i know how to offset but at one point i deleted the reactor and couldnt get it to snap back, with the wings on

[terse kestrel]

If you rotated a hab backwards and stuck the rockhopper wings in the same spots you would be able to create another three snap points.

Wedging even more stuff under your ship. And you can delete the hab and rockhoppers after

[rich bone]

even more middling high-end systems still get a lot of fps drop/stutters from those kinds of corvettes

I had to keep avoiding anomaly for a time even with my system because it got hard to navigate to do just basic stuff

[shut tusk]

pretty nice sc slot locations on this corvette im building

[terse kestrel]

I'd dupe that. Would be my normal setup

[subtle gulch]

if i totally wipe and redo my corvette from the ground up

do my cargo bays keep their contents if they get deleted or am i committing loot suicide?

[terse kestrel]

Your storage containers are not static like that

They are the same containers on your bases and freighter. Wherever you access storage #3 the contents will always be the same.

Think of your storage containers like cloud storage. The containers are just there so you can access that # storage on the cloud

[subtle gulch]

i don't got any storage containers on a base yet, so if i delete the bays in my habs and reinstall them on the new layout everything should be there, right?

[sick pawn]

I have heard them described as "ender chests" in case you know about those

[subtle gulch]

that makes sense lmao

[terse kestrel]

Also if you name a storage container as something specific that name will be seen at any location you build the container.

And labeled as such in the build menu at the top. This allows you to swap containers on your Corvette for what you need in the moment. Instead of having every container built on your Corvette at once

[terse kestrel]

That's a good way to put it 😂

[sick pawn]

yes delete and replace -> you see all your same stuff

i fact go to someone else's base where they have a storage container: see your stuff 🙂

[terse kestrel]

I only have 2 storage containers on my Corvette. And just swap one out for the other when I need something.

[subtle gulch]

okay cool

because i need to redo mine

[terse kestrel]

I just dont like huge corvettes

[subtle gulch]

it's a giant gold brick of cannons

[terse kestrel]

😂

[sick pawn]

I love me a smol ship,but I want a large "has all the things, plus an actual large interior room" build, so it's gonna be big

[terse kestrel]

2 storage, 1 refiner and a mission board.

All you really need

[subtle gulch]

i use mine as a mobile base

[terse kestrel]

Same. Pure nomad

[subtle gulch]

so i got like 4 bays

one for sentinel loot

normal crafting components

[terse kestrel]

I used to do that with freighters but corvettes are so much better for nomadic travels

[subtle gulch]

elements

and corvette parts when i go farming

[terse kestrel]

Use 1 container as a Load out chest. All your essentials. From most common element/minerals to tech parts and things like maps. Saves time having your most used stuff in one container at easy access.

Less storage gymnastics

[subtle gulch]

yeah i need to organize my stuff better

[unborn basin]

anny improvements i can make?

[onyx nebula]

did you use mods to make that?

[pale kiln]

Ranger Class Heavy freighter

[tacit jungle]

How do I increase the stats of my Corvette?

All of the slots where I put in upgrades are taken by different parts I attached to my corvette.

My hyperdrive range is like 100 (oof).

[slow harbor]

Take out some upgrades and fix your adjacency

Also yes, Corvettes have virtually no hyperdrive bonus if you don't have the right reactors installed

On an unrelated note, this is the ship I am going to finally get the permadeath achievement

[grizzled phoenix]

Is that one of the new posters? It kinda looks like arcade carpet

[slow harbor]

Aptly named the CMSS "Zoltraak" by my permadeath teammate

[grizzled phoenix]

Or kinda like a bus seat

[raven rover]

LMAO UR RIGHT

[terse kestrel]

Yeah.

But updated

You have to put a shrunk poster down before placing a bigger one over it. The bottom one visually meshes into the floor. But the top one you see doesnt

[elder iron]

Bruh, even the black lighting effect?

[terse kestrel]

If you put pill lights along the walls and baseboards before placing refiners and storage units it hides the lights and creates an area lighting effect

[marsh epoch]

but that poster gets stuck under

[terse kestrel]

No. You can still select it with the editing tool to move or delete it

[tranquil hedge]

is there a way to edit corvette colour outside of the game?

[tranquil hedge]

corvette no limit mod actually cant handle my no limit build

[terse kestrel]

Not that I know of. Check the mod channel here to see if someone there may know

[distant spruce]

How do you put landing pads on corvettes

[terse kestrel]

They have to be connected to a hab or other parts on the bottom

[pseudo charm]

with a mod that allows you to put base building things down.. and yes as Zarkan said.. you need to put it on a surface like a hab that is connected

[distant spruce]

What mod is it

Can’t find it

[pseudo charm]

beyond base building

[distant spruce]

Thanks a bunch

[random zinc]

If my post for help with my corvette build was ignored, should I repost it occasionally or give up?

[grizzled phoenix]

What was the question? I might not be able to help, I'm not a good Corvette builder

[random zinc]

I was asking for tips on making it look less like a rectangle (with pics)

[balmy cedar]

Hmm

Add wings

It'll always have a rectangularish shape at the core

Take this for example

It's just a rectangle with things slapped on

Well. More of an L shape

[heavy mantle]

quick questions, im trying to take a screenshot while my corvette is flying but when I enter screenshot mode the ship keeps moving out of the camera, is this a setting ive accidentally changed?

[terse kestrel]

I thought they meant Corvette landing thrusters and pads 🙈

[balmy cedar]

Turn off multiplayer

[terse kestrel]

Are you in multiplayer with someone?

[pseudo charm]

there is no corvette landing pad.. as of yet

[heavy mantle]

i am in a system with other players

[terse kestrel]

That's why

Live pause in MP

[heavy mantle]

ohhhhhhh thanks!

[fossil prairie]

that thing f*cked me up a few times already with a lot of running away mold lol

[random zinc]

by wings, do you mean the things called wings in the build menu or something more abstract?

[balmy cedar]

Bit of both

I mean the parts that visually look the part and have the name

And the kind that players make

[terse kestrel]

Don't leave it in there when you log off and dont use two in a long hab on the same wall. They glitch out and when you take from one it deleted the other.

Only place refiners in half Habs. Kitchens too

[balmy cedar]

Like the death dorito

[random zinc]

hmm... if I do that, the cockpit view will be blocked. maybe I can adjust it somehow

[balmy cedar]

3rd person view is a thing

[random zinc]

not for me

[balmy cedar]

Gotcha

[random zinc]

cockpit view is my favorite feature of the game 🙂

[rugged compass]

Hey, do short range teleporters work in Corvettes yet?

[random zinc]

only as decoration

[rugged compass]

Boo 💀

[trail hornet]

its one of my least favorites lol

[topaz isle]

im gonna keep adding more guns to it

the lasers already do 4k a tick

[sick pawn]

I think I have I think I have 9 on there so far (weapons), kind of ridiculous but that's how it goes

[marsh epoch]

oh i thought the way you do it is by placing a small poster underneath first then build a large one on top so the top one gets leveled. As the poster stacks only when your cursor is pointing at another existing poster

[terse kestrel]

Yeah there's a point of shrinking a poster where it will disappear into the floor. But if you go just a little bit bigger than that it just becomes a placeholder

And I didn't just make the bottom poster bigger. I duplicated the bottom poster and made that bigger. So there are two there

[random zinc]

next you'll be telling me you don't invert controls

[weak jacinth]

...you inverted your controls!?

[random zinc]

100%

Push forward, nose down. It's natural.

[fervent mist]

I have decided on the name, and it shall be Atlas Imperator

How is that for a name 😎

[fervent mist]

It makes it feel more spaceshippy

[terse kestrel]

Pagan 👀

[fervent mist]

Or what about Polemarch, the Greek word for commander

Considering the name atlas is a nod to Greek mythology

[trail hornet]

wtf???

[swift mist]

what's the confusion? it's completely normal to invert controls for flying

[fervent mist]

-# spaceshippy

[sick pawn]

who inverts controls, are you kidding me? 😛

[agile hamlet]

It sounds AI generated - 😎

[sick pawn]

[fervent mist]

Oh huhh, I see 😂 totally didn’t cross my mind when I thought of it. That’s great

if i am in somones ship on the anomoly, and they take off, i always crash as it tries to load, is this on my end or a bug?

Only 3 of a tech show up in your tech slots. 3 medusas, 3 warp drive, 3 boosters, 3 of a type of gun etc

[terse kestrel]

Anything over 3 of a certain part are purely cosmetic

[glass surge]

that only applies to non reactors since reactors are specialized for different systems you can have more if you have the space

[terse kestrel]

That's why I was saying medusas or warp drives. Not just 3 reactors total.

[glass surge]

back to corvette SC slot rolling for me

[golden tundra]

I wished that wasn't there case, 3 slots dead with my 3 hubs 🤦
Even the reactors, I've 7 so 7 slots taken, 4 for the shield, why not just combine the same tech/model per slot instead of up to 3 slot

[glass surge]

I have not had that happen especially during expedition 19 where that was a thing but I'm on PC; if you feel it's a bug that repeatedly happening then report it

[tired bluff]

Wait I can make them float to the side?

I got to try that when I get back on

[weak jacinth]

[terse latch]

blender

[weak jacinth]

Ah

[terse latch]

the only down side to these micro blender vettes is they are usually difficult to mount

takes quite a bit of practice and some luck

[misty goblet]

Can you make that one ship-sized autophage into a corvette using blender, or does it have to be made of corvette assets

[terse latch]

im not entirely sure how the whole blender vettes thing is done as i found out abuot it just a couple weeks ago

from what ive seen so far with blender really any vette is possible to build

[misty goblet]

this would make a sick corvette

[wooden walrus]

Is there a reason only one of these ever lights up or is it just bugged?

I have 4 and only one ever lights up

[terse kestrel]

[cedar sorrel]

Hello guys, I have a question, I build a gigantic pirate ship corvette but it ended up so big that when I try to go 3rd person in it the back of the ship completely blocks off my view. Is there any way to zoom out the 3rd person camera more so that I can see the whole ship?

[gilded prism]

there is no zooming out or in, at least not without mods

[cedar sorrel]

Wow that's a downer, I guess I'll try making it a bit smaller

[hardy harbor]

hot sure how people fly 3rd person.. it has no HUD becuase devsin their grat wisdom had made 3d control panel instead of hud

I admit, making vector graphics HUD with today shader tools is kindaharder than to make a 3d model, butstill 😛

[sudden torrent]

ok, finnaly a design i am kinda happy with

i wish there was more customizability to the color stuff

[hardy harbor]

It kinda fits into that old design?

I freaking free 6 or 8 parts by that too <.<

[hot coral]

Install a mod that removes building limits, building is so much more enjoyable when theres 0 limit

Ofc you dont need too

[fossil prairie]

nice

[sudden torrent]

does mods affect anything in no man's sky, as much as ik you cant get banned for minor creative mods

[sudden torrent]

but a mod like which can tp you anywhere in an instant and stuff, that feels like cheating

[hot coral]

not really, the most cheaty mod ive seen allows you to edit your save file and give yourself as much quick silver as you want

[sudden torrent]

sexy ship and a cosy interior, love it

[sudden torrent]

i see

[fossil prairie]

on my opinion those things they ruin the game, what’s the purpose and the reawar

same opinion

[hot coral]

i dont play with cheaty based mods, however i dont like being limited in building so i install mods that remove that limitation

yeah that is fine

man i want windows in my ship but i covered it from everywhere

i wish there where windows like in the frigates that allow you to see through your ship without causing issues

wait we got corvettes like 1-2 monts back right?

maybe they will add more stuff

i am a new player so idk

most probably

[sudden torrent]

Oh ok

[lavish plaza]

anyone got the build instructions for the atlas themed corvette in the trailer?

[small lark]

Hi, I have two questions...

Is it possible to upgrade my corvette with e.g. Pulse drive upgrades, like the normal ships can be. Because the stats of normal vanilla corvette is abysmal. Also, can you expand its cargo and technology slots like normal ships?

Second, is it possible to build this lobster-like ship, or was it done by glitch building/importing (see image below)

[remote crypt]

1. Yes, and yes
2. Doesn't look glitch built to me

[weak rune]

Just got a pair of the ambassador heavy boost engines for the first time. I really like the look of them versus most of the other heavy boost engines. This is my result.

I managed to bury three reactors and two aeron class shields in the hull connectors.

[pseudo charm]

my god those are in game parts? damn

[remote crypt]

That's a shot from somewhere else - it was meant to serve as possible inspiration for the person wanting a Star Wars hauler/merchant type vessel

I picked it as the general shape seems doable in game

[pseudo charm]

oh.

[spring canyon]

why did the manoeuvrability drop from ~3700 down to ~3200 over night? i noticed this on my other corvettes too. sometimes its more and sometimes less. i know about the bug that mixes the modules in corvettes but this one was the one i logged off with and all modules are where i put them yesterday.

[terse kestrel]

On my main Corvette I can swap around Tech to get maneuverability to 4300. But when I log out and come back in or summon a different ship and then bring that one back it's maneuverability drops to 3100.

It's like when you're in the Corvette editor or you're moving around Tech it makes bad calculations based on where you place stuff. But when you reload it corrects it

I spent a while trying to make that higher number stick. But I gave up. It just doesn't last past a reload or re-summon

[spring canyon]

i tested my topspeed in space with the 3700 yesterday and again today with 3200.. nothing changed. not sure if i hit a cap but it sounds like you're right, the higher value might be a wrong calculation then, hm.

[tight agate]

My corvette that was built for warfare, not sure if I should change the colours

[terse kestrel]

Yep. Just a visual bug misrepresenting the numbers you see. Because I noticed no difference either between the top number and bottom number when it comes to how the craft handles

And as long as you get it over 3,000 you're good. Over 3500 the speed gains are negligible. And it just becomes more and more squirrely.

[spring canyon]

another question: why do the module parts have different stats and how can i select the better ones when building a corvette? i got 3 medusa gens but only one has +15% maneuverability.

[terse kestrel]

Degrading stat returns depending on how many you have of one type. With a cap at three parts.

The first one you put down you get 100% of its stats. The next one you put down is 80% and then the next one you put down is 60%. Rough numbers

[random zinc]

hmm... drop a weapon to increase maneuverability... tempting...

[balmy cedar]

Howdy folks

[balmy cedar]

Gotta weigh what kinda ship you want

Fast or hits hard

Or. Make a nice middy

[terse kestrel]

Buy a new tech slot and keep them both

[small lark]

One more question... is there a determination on how many max slots you can get in certain corvettes? Or is it always the same size of the inventory?

[elder anchor]

trying to do some interior deco. Thoughts?

[weak jacinth]

Is there a pallet that doesn't have a ugly front? Like these have that shape on the front that just... Throw off the vibes

[weak jacinth]

Also I love that computer set-up

[onyx nebula]

Looks comfy. I haven’t done any decorating yet because I can’t ensure parts align right. I wish I could like, hold shift and make the parts rotate at fixed degrees instead of always rotating the second I look left or right

[weak jacinth]

That is admittedly an older version of my ship, I've done a lot of work since then.. but the point stands the pallets are ugly

@signal tree you not connecting rotated hub

You remove rotated hub, and then place all hubs normally.

[arctic bough]

Alright fellas, given my naming scheme is based on song names, what shall i call my beautiful Expedition junkball? Right now my highest pick is "Livin' on a Prayer"

[balmy cedar]

Try an atlas wing

[elder anchor]

admittedly, i managed to decor only one one wing, and its only first floor too

[elder anchor]

thanks!

[balmy cedar]

You could give ur ship a bladed Bow

Tho my Airship could stand to recieve the same thing...

I like space piracy

[weak jacinth]

That's really cool

[weak jacinth]

I'm going for a slightly Treasure Planet vibe myself 😄

[balmy cedar]

Nice

Sameish here

More of a space- Black Pearl

[elder anchor]

not gonna lie, looking at these bright colored creases on black reminds me a lot Lost Planet, at very least Snow Pirates aesthetic a bit

also sick build

[balmy cedar]

Ahh Ice Pirates

[onyx nebula]

How’d you get everything aligned so consistently well??

[elder anchor]

a bit of patience and slowly scrolling. Apparently the rotation is snapped too, just at smaller increments

also interior modules snap into places too

[onyx nebula]

Hard work paid off then. Your place looks immaculate

[lean spire]

so, i am assuming a lot of folk see their ships flying - so it really matters how it looks, is there a contigent of travelers that are all about making the vettes work for them at the top of the game?

easy of access - has the parts you need and nothing you dont..

[weak jacinth]

I used a mini ship for a while that was just for hovering over planets and dive-bombing scavenged scrap

[random zinc]

I'm fully expanded

[lean spire]

i used two layers this time, top layers are only the small habs, though, and you can still put builds in them, it will be the upper deck bunks I guess

I wonder if there are plans to make the bunks or med beds beneficial later on?

i not much for straight decorations.

[terse kestrel]

Place a save point on the wall before placing the bed. And place a couple Health Restoration units on the wall before placing the med Bay

You then have to activate the bed to save your game and the med station to get health.

Simulated functionality 😂

[lean spire]

i best ship is two habs long with only one hab offset on either side and two docking bay access points. I tried the elevator access point but didn't like it long term

[lean spire]

that at least makes it look fuctional yeah i like that

the kitchen is okay the ambassador version looks nice

[random zinc]

neat idea. I take it the save point and hru are invisible when you build on top of them?

[lean spire]

i've ignored the med units because they never worked for me on bases,

[random zinc]

I put them on storage units so they get power

[lean spire]

maybe they work differently than expected on feighter/corvette

[terse kestrel]

Yep. Can access them through the object you place in front of them as long as they are in range. Can also access stuff on your top and bottom floors. Just by looking through the floor or the ceiling.

[elder anchor]

oh yeah i've read this somewhere already, thanks for reminding

[terse kestrel]

My bottom hab unit contains all of my storage units. But I don't have a way into it. I just look at the floor where one of the units is when I need something.

That ladder sucks

[random zinc]

they have to be on a structure that's powered, like a cuboid room, prefab room or storage unit

[lean spire]

gunter has a 'tude today?

[random zinc]

(the corvette itself is powered)

[fringe ocean]

Alr so whenever I do this my corvette disappears

[lean spire]

in the previous expedition corvette I had all planters and nip growing - part of the gig. but it was a neat set up- I mean I put the bunk and med units in in hopes you heal faster with one onboard

mission board and refiners

storage can be in adjacent hab without a door@ haha

[random zinc]

I don't get what you're showing here

[lean spire]

i thought that was the blackness of the vette not being there

is the arrow thing like the window??

[fringe ocean]

So after intentionally pushing myself off the corvette building station to do an exploit thing?? in which I can remove core components like reactors n such

i use my starship and re-summon corvette to do it

But as you can see it doesn’t appear

And the one on there isn’t drivable

It used to work before breach btw

[random zinc]

wow... neat

@fringe ocean I guess they patched it then

[fringe ocean]

I guess they kinda did cuz after some time the re-summoned corvette appears

And when i head over to corvette building station it disappears

[random zinc]

maybe it wasn't purposely fixed and has become more buggy (if you take it that the exploit?? thing was a bug)

[lean spire]

they spent a lot of time fixing and patching all the holes and exploits, both on and off corvettes

[fringe ocean]

Can’t make reactorless corvettes now i guess

[random zinc]

You weren't meant to in the first place.

though I can definitely understand why you'd want to

I wish the habs didn't take up tech slots, but c'est la vie

[tame patio]

I wish too as they don't do much, at least it's only 3 slots.

[random zinc]

yeah, I can't even fit a bobble-head in my corvette

[terse kestrel]

How many weapon platforms are you all using?

[random zinc]

3

[terse kestrel]

The only weapon I have in my Corvette is the phase beam and the tech modules associated.

[tame patio]

I had enough on mine, even for a second and 3 trails.

[terse kestrel]

The more weapon options you have the less space you have for other useful Tech

[tame patio]

I only use photon cannon.

[random zinc]

yeah, I'm thinking of dropping a weapon

[tame patio]

I only got 2 weapons cannons attached.

[terse kestrel]

With how powerful the weaponry of the Corvettes are extra shielding is just not necessary. Especially if you use a phase beam because it recharges your shield as you damage them

[random zinc]

I like phase beams for asteroids, infraknife for salvage, and photon cannon for everything else

[fringe ocean]

?

[terse kestrel]

Nice drop ship option

Who needs an access ramp when you can just jump out the side?

[tame patio]

I just go photon cannon even when I'm only using 2 guns I ended up with 18k DPS with power to weapons mode.

[tame patio]

I wish we could attack a door on the side of the ship so we can make ships that work like the Halo Phantoms.

[terse kestrel]

Also when it comes down to it if you're pushing for maximum maneuverability you really don't need to shoot for over 4k. If you have enough Tech to get you to somewhere between 3,000 and 3,500 you're just fine

[fringe ocean]

The goofy part is that there’s literally no hab modules

[terse kestrel]

Over 3,000 maneuverability the speed gains are barely noticeable. And you just adding more and more turning capability to your ship. Which results in it becoming too squirrely to control proper

[tame patio]

I got over 2k and it's fine.

[random zinc]

sure, but I'm (only) at 2600 right now

[tame patio]

I can reach higher than 2k but I would have to swap the pulse drive power on the boost slot.

[terse kestrel]

Should post your Tech layout. Bet I can help you squeeze a few hundred more out of it

[fringe ocean]

One of my atlas corvettes is at 5000

[random zinc]

I might get rid of the infraknife. Photon cannons are almost as good for salvage

[fringe ocean]

And one at 6333

[random zinc]

ok, need a couple of minutes to cap it

[random zinc]

I should take a new one. The tech layout is the same, but the ship looks different now 🙂

[fair pilot]

what would you add on the top of the corvette to balance it a bit visually?
Looks slightly too long, I think...

[random zinc]

I wish I knew. I have the same problem 🙁

[fair pilot]

Maybe extra hub to make extra deck lookalike?..

[fair pilot]

Optimization-wise - drop all weapons but one type.

[random zinc]

Yeah, I was just considering doing that

[fair pilot]

I'm rocking the phase beams, because 29-30k per clock.

[distant spruce]

How do yall get open doors on your corvettes

[random zinc]

but it's hard because I like different weapons for different reasons

[fair pilot]

wdym?

[distant spruce]

Ok not doors exactly but

[random zinc]

phase beams don't work for salvage, unfortunately

[distant spruce]

Open up the hull to work as doors

[fair pilot]

Keeping single cyclotron module without upgrades is fine for that.

Huge aoe, fast undig.

[random zinc]

Yeah, that is one of the things I'm considering

[fair pilot]

Tho I'm even thinking dropping even the phase beems and go all-in with photon cannons. That will save me one more slot.

And I still will have more than decent firepower AND auto-aim.

[random zinc]

what makes you lose auto-aim?

[signal tree]

Does anyone know how to connect two habs that have 180 degree rotation (one facing forward and the other one facing backwards). I've seen it in the anomaly so it is possible

[tame patio]

I went all out photon cannon and it's good. I only got 2 weapons and still with 2 super slots I achieve 18k with weapon boost.

[terse kestrel]

https://youtu.be/vqVlRpCOkQA?si=HQSESicM1cetFVvT

The specific trick you're looking for is at the 1 min mark on that video. And it's a real simple 1>2>3 step process to do.

It basically involves putting down a cockpit, a hab and then an access ramp with another hab behind it. And then shifting the middle hab over your access ramp. Meshing them together.

Once you see it on the video it'll make sense. Can easily replicate it yourself

You end up with something like that. And you can still put machines and storage along the walls of that hab. Even though the access ramp arms are there.

[distant spruce]

Terima Kasih m8

[random zinc]

Why would you need to do that? Can't you just nest habs to have 2 connected habs, attach whatever, and then delete the reverse-hab?

[distant spruce]

Great tip

[random zinc]

Yeah, this is why I said earlier that dropping a weapon to increase maneuverability was a tempting prospect

[terse kestrel]

https://youtu.be/y6Jdh3MhETw?si=b_U0hO6FuyF_TKnX

[random zinc]

if I do it, perhaps the infraknife is on the chopping block

[terse kestrel]

That's how you flip your Habs around.

https://youtu.be/OviTjOwAfp8?si=7FfTF3fIBpFXpuUn

That one is how you offset your build pieces by half a square. Very useful for meshing parts together

[random zinc]

I think they were asking how to connect two oppositely flipped habs

[terse kestrel]

That's using flip 180 to turn a hab around into another hab. And then using the access ramp trick on both sides to open up the ends of that hab

So it's the 180 method combined with the open-ended hab method twice

[random zinc]

I still wonder why you'd need to do that, but wonderful that it can be done!

[terse kestrel]

Flipping Habs around allows you to place exterior Corvette parts in reverse position. And it's the only way to do that with many of the parts because they don't allow you to rotate them a full 180°

But when you do that your Habs will not connect together. Only if they're facing the same way. So you have to glitch the doors on the ends to stay open if you expect a backwards hab.

I myself just delete the hab that's backwards once the exterior parts are in place. Just using the backwards hab as a placeholder until the rest is in place.

[random zinc]

exactly, which is why I'm left wondering why you need to do that.

(as in attach two oppositely flipped habs)

[terse kestrel]

Wouldn't have to if they would let us rotate most of these parts properly 😂

We begged for years to get proper base part rotational mechanics. And I'm surprised they didn't give it to us in corvettes. Knowing full well we would endlessly bug them about it.

[random zinc]

no question about why you'd want to flip habs, just why you'd want to connect two oppositely flipped habs given you can nest, attach, and then delete the reverse hab

[fair pilot]

Do you have link for extra colours?

[random zinc]

So, @terse kestrel any suggestions on my tech layout before I go making major changes like dropping weapons?

[fair pilot]

Something like using the base colors for the ship iirc

[terse kestrel]

Extra colours?

[fair pilot]

I think I've seen that somewhere...

[terse kestrel]

Oh I haven't figured out how to do that one yet. I know how to swap colors between your parts in your base. But not how to transfer that to the Corvette

[fair pilot]

https://youtu.be/tRB6xxYdbhI?si=yF9TV-YLkr3zyHQh

Here, found em

[terse kestrel]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/s/Mzlu33kOCT

Just saw that one. I saw this Reddit post too

Wow. I didn't realize it was that straightforward.

Great. Something else I'm going to waste a few hours on today 🙈

Me 4 hours from now

"Why can't I make this Wing purple? I can make every other wing purple. Why not this one? This game is broken"

[fair pilot]

Cannot apply this to my 'vette because I'll have to rebuild it fully for that 🙁

[random zinc]

I'd be happy if they let you invert metallic colors like they let you invert gloss colors

[plain totem]

Is there any way to add a landing zone for your corvette on your planet base? I know no landing pads exist, but can you add just an area with floors or something? Last time I tried, it wouldn’t let me land my corvette with the “Landing area not clear” message.

[random zinc]

I think the answer to that question is "no"

otherwise Beeblebum would have made a video

[terse kestrel]

While Beeblebums video shows how to do it with new Corvette pieces that Reddit post shows how to do it with existing Corvette pieces.

[fair pilot]

Not yet.

You can try to move TP and base computer into a separated tiny room tho

may help

That's what I'll do...

But mooring point is what we're crying from the very first corvettes appearance xD

[terse kestrel]

FACTS

[random zinc]

I have my teleporter on the fringes and facing away from my base, this seems to prevent the corvette from colliding with my base

then I have a short range teleporter nearby so I can get into my base quickly

@terse kestrel any quick fixes to my maneuverability?

If I can get it to 3000 with just moving stuff around, that'd make me happy

[light sierra]

Does anybody have a Corvette that looks like a merchant or a cargo ship that I could trade with somebody

[terse kestrel]

I just realized you posted this up there. Give me a sec to check it out

[random zinc]

I'm not quite ready to start gambling on X class modules

[random zinc]

What exactly would that look like? A mini freighter? A container ship?

[light sierra]

container ship

Because I'm role playing a merchant or trader in my community

[fair pilot]

Urge to rebuilt the corvette once again...

But have no idea what to add now to make it look like I want to.

[random zinc]

I guess you could put habs like 2 levels up from ground and use the double-hab-sized cargo decorations to surround them, and put in some cargo ports

[light sierra]

ok thanks

[terse kestrel]

Swap around your a class booster with that Tech that's above your pulse drive. You should get more maneuverability out of that swap. Essential Tech usually meshes better with whatever it is boosting

[high cosmos]

Is this good I took inspiration from a stealth bomber

[grizzled phoenix]

W ship, ruzzy

[high cosmos]

Thx

[random zinc]

how many parts is that?

[terse kestrel]

@random zinc if your mind kind of works like my mind this is actually exactly what I would do.

[high cosmos]

98

[light sierra]

Yes that actually is really good My families in the military so I know about a stealth Bomber

[terse kestrel]

I don't super charge any weapons. Only engine and booster tech

[random zinc]

thanks, will try. That A booster might not be a maneverability booster though (I forget, hehe)

[terse kestrel]

That C-Class shield upgrade is more of a space waster than anything beneficial. It's such a small bonus you can use it for something else

Like if you have the proper landing thrusters on your Corvette you don't even need the tech for auto refueling your landing gear. It comes pre-equipped in your Corvette landing thrusters

[random zinc]

ah, ok room for a bobble head then!

[lean spire]

who lands their corvette? eh?

[terse kestrel]

I also keep the aquajets unpacked and in Corvette inventory. If I ever need to land on water I just swap it out for a bobblehead

[random zinc]

I don't have that tech because I get it already

[terse kestrel]

We need like 10 or 15 more Tech slots for these Corvettes

[lean spire]

yeah rooms in the tech slots no good

[random zinc]

I'd be ok if the habs took up space in the cargo area 🙂

[lean spire]

does only the first three go in tech?

[random zinc]

yes

[lean spire]

hmm, and same with landing gears

[random zinc]

(luckily)

[lean spire]

i am getting a thought.

[random zinc]

same with everything

though each different reactor part is considered a different thing

[lean spire]

build a ship one gear one hab - fit all sorts of weaponses and shields THEN edit the extra habs and gears on

[random zinc]

the habs have priority

and will push out other stuff first

I found this out the hard way

[lean spire]

but it kicks out the tech?

[random zinc]

yeah

[lean spire]

sheese

[random zinc]

but only corvette tech

[warm breach]

proof that the lens matters the most

[random zinc]

how do you change the lens?

[warm breach]

photo mode > change effects > lens

[random zinc]

thanks

[random zinc]

Is it better to use the freed slot for a bobble head or for another one of those A boosters?

[terse kestrel]

The A booster adjacency boosted next to your other pulse drive modules would be better most likely

[random zinc]

ok, thanks

[south geyser]

I don’t understand how my corvette went from from 2500 maneuvrability to 700 , I haven’t don’t anything to the upgrades or moved anything around

[terse kestrel]

The tech modules didn't shift around on you? They have a habit of randomizing themselves if you use a different ship and then reload your Corvette

[south geyser]

Nah , all my stats keep going down and it’s annoying me as it’s turning my ship into a flying turd

[terse kestrel]

Can you post a picture of your Tech layout?

[random zinc]

I'm getting a better idea of just which activities mess with my tech layout, and there are quite a few. For example, summoning a different ship at a station or in the anomaly will scramble the tech layout.

[tame patio]

I replaced the rock hopper wing with the hover peice with this as I had the annoying thing with only one on and didn't want to mess around.

What 18k DPS photon cannon is like.

[stark dirge]

Are there tutorials on how to build a vertical ship?

Like a tall Ship

[flat current]

Maybe on yt

[random zinc]

Like a good vertical ship or a "just because" vertical ship?

Because I've seen a few of the latter and like none of the former

[civic cedar]

If I dissassemble my corvette and then rebuild it, will I lose the extra storage augmentation slots I installed or any of the modules I subsequently added, like update hyperderive etc?

[random zinc]

no

@terse kestrel strangely moving the A booster up there lowers the maneuverability 🙂

[civic cedar]

thx

[terse kestrel]

https://youtu.be/Dfdj2-5yq_s?si=HWCQxZ4hWCAsFnEA

There used to be a method to make your Corvette build vertically by building in your settlement base area. But they took that away in the last update. It was extremely unstable.

This method in the video still works. But it can be annoying to get it just right and center how you want it to be. Takes some trial and error.

But it does work. That's how I got those vertical boosters.

If you're going to do it make sure the Corvette you use has the Titan access ramp. And use the light and triangle decal on the roof to line yourself up. But be aware that the light and the decal are slightly to the left of center of the craft. So you want to do this trick slightly to the right to center it

[fair pilot]

On top of my corvette added a comfy place for someone to be able to look around.

And cargo racks on the sides added interesting visual details. Not cargo-rack looking.
