Sick

[cobalt flame]

Thanks. That pic is an older iteration of the ship. I've added a few pieces 😄

[edgy geyser]

Woah

[balmy cedar]

Use less weapon mods

[leaden vapor]

Which reactor is the best?

[leaden vapor]

Ah wait they all do different stuff, nvm lol

[hardy harbor]

Hah... not only me is coverign holes with furniture

[livid veldt]

Awesome. Did you glitch position the cockpit over that space with the windows below it?

[hardy harbor]

not mine. The cocpit is part of super sturucture... they kind of made mini-macross

[livid veldt]

Is that front window possible becuase the hab is rotated sideways?

[hardy harbor]

afaik theyare always possiblein front

Like here. No glitches

[raven rover]

yes theyre always possible in the front

[livid veldt]

I love this one.

[hardy harbor]

Burger!

[cobalt flame]

No glitch on the cockpit. But it has some glitches on the under side to place a reactor, thruster and landing gear.

[livid veldt]

I like the asymmetry.

I suck at corvette building - but got a little lucky with the one corvette.

I don't enjoy glitch building.

[hardy harbor]

These industrial windows make nice bridge canopy

[cobalt flame]

Rotation and offset glitches do add a lot, tbh. They give you a lot more room for some creative builds. I do keep it at a minimum, though.

[hardy harbor]

I woud argue that offset isn't glitch as game seems treat it correctly

at least with collisions

[cobalt flame]

I kinda feel the same about that, though in terms it's still a glitch.

[hardy harbor]

Terare partswhich are designed to fit togetehr with 2-ti-1 or 3-to-2 shift, so I dunno. Also Arkadia is an offset buld

The rear thrusters there and cowlign of rear part are setwith offset 😛

[cobalt flame]

I did offset glitching on the trailer of my ship, cramming 3 Medusa reactors and the warp boost reactor inside the space of half a hab.

I shouldn't be allowed to do that.

[hardy harbor]

why 3medusas? only 2 work

[terse kestrel]

I think it's kind of half and half. The method behind offsetting and rotating isn't really a glitch. But slamming stuff together unintentionally is

[hardy harbor]

they actually fit with maglev gear.. and you can overlap them with cetoreactor..

[hardy harbor]

or dual hull links

[terse kestrel]

That's two Titan boosters, three medusas, a shield generator and a wrap core all in a 7x2 space

[hardy harbor]

yeah.. my ship got a bunch of reactos stuffed into1 hub sapce and a cowling there too 😛

[terse kestrel]

Like you can mesh the Titan and Thunderbird boosters together if you connect them left and right offset

[cobalt flame]

I did something similar

[terse kestrel]

Nice

[cobalt flame]

Didn't add shields, though

[hardy harbor]

Winglet stuffed into booster

[cobalt flame]

I like to hide weapons too.

[hardy harbor]

other reactors and deflectors hidden here

[cobalt flame]

Lots of reactors, shield generators and weapons hidden in the elevated front section of this trailer.

[terse kestrel]

Sometimes you can't hide them 😂

[hardy harbor]

yeah

and funny thing their ower part is made to match maglev landing gear while upper.. dunno, looks like a hardpoint mount?

[cobalt flame]

Managed to hide it on this one too

[glass surge]

weird when i put three medusa reactors in my maneuverability does go up in the in the corvette builder but i lose those points and the extra reactor when i check the ship outside of it; might be a bug to report

[cobalt flame]

The inside of the scrapper’s trailer

[livid veldt]

Is there a room behind the cockpit? Can it be exited?

[cobalt flame]

Yup. The truck itself has no glitches. The trailer, though…..

[livid veldt]

Is the corvette's yaw radius the center of the build pad on the build or the center of the actual build length front to back?

[cobalt flame]

Build pad

[livid veldt]

Oh - that surprises me.

[urban blaze]

Hey, so I'm like very very new to the game so I ain't really sure if I'm even asking the right thing, but is there a decent way to just get a fair bit of corvette parts relatively easily early? I'm not talking about just buying the default stuff, rather anything else that ain't there - if there's a set or two that I could reasonably complete.

(Sorry for intruding on the conversation!)

[livid veldt]

You could change your settings to make Crafting = Free to have access to all parts unlimited .. if you wanted

[urban blaze]

That's fair, but I don't really think I want to do that. At least not now ":v

[cobalt flame]

Many creative builders do

Me included

[urban blaze]

The main thing I'm confused about is that I can either make the default ones in the station or trade blocks for stuff - so there's a lot of stuff I really ain't sure how to make

[livid veldt]

Yea. I have been playing for over 9 years -- I didn't need that new grind to make my corvette builds feel more legit.

[cobalt flame]

Same

[urban blaze]

Fair that! But I just want to at least experience enough of it myself first, when I say I'm new I mean that I've bought the game like two days ago. ^^'

Granted, 90% of crafting stuff is not really the most substantial out there, even for someone like me who is quite new to the genre all in all except like, Minecraft, but yeah

[cobalt flame]

If you want to experience the game enough, do the main story first, then bother with Corvette building.

[urban blaze]

Understandable lol

[cobalt flame]

Get to know the game

Understand the game mechanics and then get creative

[urban blaze]

Mhm mhm, 's what I figured. I just didn't really wrap my head around how to obtain the other parts that I could not buy when starting out, yunno

Guess it can be a story finish reward. ✨

[cobalt flame]

Getting a corvette early on doesn’t really add to the main story experience.

[urban blaze]

-# True, but it was fun to muck around with the systems for a bit. Got me excited lol, it's what I've been looking for out of a ship creator for a while

[cobalt flame]

In that case, set difficulty to Creative and go ham on it 😄

But I’d recommend doing the story first.

Yup yup! That's the plan. Thanksies o7

[lone torrent]

Anyone have any tips on making this hunk of metal more powerful? It’s build for looks but I want it as my all around flyer. I’m looking aplenty when it comes to modding and all that and I haven’t explored it to much on the corvette yet

[shut tusk]

working on my most micro build yet. double merges, got reactor, landing gear, infra knife, and thrusters all jammed under 1 walkway and the cockpit with nothing obstructing the hab or cockpit

[shut tusk]

i was able to rearrange and re-merge parts for a cleaner look and even had room for a 2nd infra knife

[hexed thicket]

Nice. I had one kinda like that at some point. More of a streamlined underside at the expense of sitting a bit higher when landed.

[balmy cedar]

I'm suprised I haven't seen the SDF1 yet

I've seen vf1 valkyries

[fossil dome]

what should i add/remove/change?

[fair pilot]

It's absolutely up to you, but I'd probably change the bridge layout, it's too straight

[glad snow]

anyone know any really good aeron builds?

@fossil dome i would make bridge sit up 1 level higher maybe?

[fair pilot]

The Noisy Cricket is the most insane prob.

[glad snow]

i'll try to find a tutorial build

[glad snow]

so as i was deleting parts off my ship they are gone, i do not see them in my exosuit and i don't see them in my parts storage

and i don't see how i get more of the aeron parts

hang on, i don't think it saved after i collected the blueprints

[glass surge]

When you're back from the expedition go to the Anomaly and claim them for the quicksilver vendor also you have to craft them from pugneum, salvaged glass, and silver.

[glad snow]

i did that and logged off, don't think it saved haha thanks

[fervent mist]

Get all the figurines with quick silver and use adjacent technology supercharged slots. I only use corvettes that have 4 of them and preferably in as close to a square and next to each other as you can get

[fervent mist]

Ps5 no modding:(

[marsh epoch]

@fair pilot finished the new Atlas ship with double circles, the glitch still works
#nms-showcase-corvettes message

[raven rover]

sick stuff man

[fossil dome]

bridge?

[glad snow]

@fossil dome yea where you had all the glass panels

[fossil dome]

true then it wont be as obstructed by the reactor

any other suggestions?

like for general detail

[uncut flint]

Double beyblade ship, i like

[hallow karma]

Das a lotta blades.

Melee ship.

I'll try at one point making a Space Battleship Yamato-ish Corvette.

[hexed thicket]

Well I don't know how good a suggestion this is, and I don't know what you use the 'bridge' for (and where your actual command seat is), but I would have tried to make that entire deck rotated 90 degrees. Reason being, it would be the "side" windows facing forward, which have extended corners allowing for a more interesting look. You could also use the rear of the deck for functional modules. One major downside, you'd have to include the Thunderbird access lift on that upper deck somewhere, to allow it to link to the deck below.

[fair pilot]

So the interstellar armed exploration destroyer "Lady Arien", class "Lady Cass III".
Reminds about pregnant whale a bit...
Amby cockpit is a glorious sacrifice.

Offset, hub rotation, 97 parts.

Plenty of space inside, less sleek than previous iterations. Still working on the "belly", but it's hard

[hexed thicket]

Looking great, but that ambassador cockpit does look out of place. Great use of the wing parts for framing the rockhopper propellers. Could use something like an observation deck that isn't open to space though.

[fair pilot]

I imagine that observation deck is under the force field that saves us from space 😄

As I said, amby cockpit is a glorious sacrifice, because the best one for flying from 1st person.

[uncut flint]

Very pretty!! I like its top silhouette

[fair pilot]

Belly could be a bit better, but I had to hide damned maglevs from the side view, looks awful...

[uncut flint]

How does it look landed?

[fair pilot]

Hovers over the ground

[uncut flint]

Oooo

[fair pilot]

Cause maglevs obv.

[uncut flint]

Sorry, im still learning the terminology xD

[hexed thicket]

Have you tried offsetting it into something prettier? The FP view is situated in the forward bubble, so you can do something weird like half-offset it into a hab and place a window in front.

[fair pilot]

The issue with maglevs is this 90 angle and no proper part to make it less obvious.

[fair pilot]

imo this looks even worse, so I'm still thinking about this or just slapping back the thunderbird.

HG GIVE US BETTER AMBY COCKPIT PLS

Maybe this side view is slightly better/less pregnant? 😄

[hexed thicket]

I found it's best to deal with the landing gear by halfgridding something overtop. Works with both regular and maglev.

[fair pilot]

Yeah I'll keep it that way.

Uhhhhh, damn maglev cannot be offsetted!

[hexed thicket]

The maglev can't, so it's best to offset other things around it.

A turbine cowling eats a maglev pretty well.

[fair pilot]

And if radiator vents are not on "hard place" they are rotates to the other side...

Longshore just makes it invisible xD

But then the belly is just too big

So my best solution for now is this.

radiation vents around.

And with arcadia aerofoil it's not visible at all.

[hexed thicket]

Hm, you could try some of the half-pieces. Like the engine cowling. You'd need to half-offset them sideways so they meet in the middle and form a single-grid-wide mesh.

[fair pilot]

Yeah I know.

Still thinkens the bell too much, but could try.

Here we go

Or even like this.

You think looks ok?

Aaaaaand he's gone xD

[fair pilot]

Hey friend, are you still here? 😄

[dreamy compass]

for me it's looks okay even though i see what you mean by pregnant whale

tho you would rarely see this angle but it looks pretty good compared to what i usually make XD

[hexed thicket]

Now I am. Had to walk away for a bit. XD

[fair pilot]

Trying to play around.

[hexed thicket]

Personally I'd pick the first, but the second one also looks okay.

[hallow karma]

...It's an attempt.

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

[fair pilot]

Which one is first?

[hallow karma]

I've never been amazing at building stuff but uh.

I guess I'm trying-

[hexed thicket]

This one.

[fair pilot]

Angles still angling outside of the cowlings

[hallow karma]

It's not even done actually, I need more parts.

[fair pilot]

Arcadia my beloved!

Tho the best arcadia is the movie Arcadia

[hallow karma]

The Arcadia is awesome, I had to try doing it in this.

[hallow karma]

Eeeh, too spiky for my taste.

[stone shadow]

Is it possible to make a corvette with a ramp connected directly to cockpit without any hab modules using glitch building or any other way?

[fair pilot]

Yeah, Shadow Death was better before the transformation. But I mean the turrets on a rails - that's what bought me with my guts.

[hexed thicket]

That's why I said personally, heh. I like that look. It's not like it's seamless even with the cowlings.

[hallow karma]

It looks much edgier to a point where I'm not a big fan of it.
Endless Orbit SSX Arcadia is awesome.

[fair pilot]

Yeah it's fine prob.

And I have 3 more parts to yolo to somewhere (still 97/100() xD

[hexed thicket]

I dislike the surface of the cowling visible on the inside of the thruster, more than the angled outcropping on the side.

[fair pilot]

Removed the radar dome, not really liked it in this position.

The fin looks better imo

[hexed thicket]

The fin looks nice.

[fair pilot]

It's kinda fun that in the end I'm achieving better look on a bigger ship with the same amount of parts.

[hexed thicket]

What you need, is to take the whole ship apart and rebuild it at a half-grid offset to the landing gear so that the cowlings are only inset halfway. :P

[fair pilot]

Also that wing > hopper < wing is my favorite part probably.

The'll mess with the hubs probably.

And this thick belly still adds some charm prob.

What I thought is to add the same "cowling" over the cockpit, but not the best idea prob. Now I'm thinking about "how to squeeze one more entrance closer to the cockpit".

or just give up and fly as is. I used to have a ramp right under the cockpit, but it looks awful from the top

This view, I mean.

[jovial mason]

i usually use the elevator exit right behind the cockpit for a fast exit

[fair pilot]

What IS an option - sacrifice one hub to slot the reversed cover inside, for example.

And the entrance near it.

[fair pilot]

Elevator looks awful xD

But valid option.

From the inside, I mean

[jovial mason]

ah, i dont mint it rbh

functions as a good exit point for me

[fair pilot]

Indeed it is good.

[hexed thicket]

All habs look the same from the outside. The access lift just adds a semi-cosmetic hatch.

[fair pilot]

I mean inside look, yeah.

[hexed thicket]

That you can fall through when it's "open", but still.

[fair pilot]

I'm ok with a little walk around the ship, but not like "super long walk" "D

[jovial mason]

i usually use it if i want a high levitating ship

[fair pilot]

There is this option, tho.

[hexed thicket]

Hope we get access hatches in more styles eventually. The ambassador style one could look like a moon pool. :)

[exotic spruce]

...minus the poles

[jovial mason]

which hab do you guys like the most?

[hexed thicket]

You could just add a stairway in the hab behind the cockpit. Just jump on top and walk in.

[fair pilot]

Here we go.

[jovial mason]

does it work to do a stair to the outside, having 2 habs connected with a stair then delete the lower one?

[fair pilot]

I equally hate all of them outside, and prefer amby from the inside.

[jovial mason]

looks good

[jovial mason]

yea the outside is boring

[fair pilot]

I'd also drop the phase beam and use photon cannon only, but it's too weak.

[jovial mason]

i dont really like the ambas cockpit

the floating screens, looks too empty

[fair pilot]

I only don't like it outside.

Unside it's perfect - blob of glass for better view.

[jovial mason]

yea the outside doesnt fit anything either imo

[vast cliff]

Guys i think i might have build the most craziest agressiv looking areodynamic majestic Corvette build...whats your opinion ?

[fair pilot]

thunderbird is lesser evil – acceptable from the outside, acceptable from the inside.

[jovial mason]

yea

[jovial mason]

looks... odd 😂

[fair pilot]

I hope we'll get more cockpits sooner or later.

[hexed thicket]

The sideways access ramps were my most successful use of rotated parts so far.

Funnily enough, nothing breaks if your only access ramps are sideways. The ship will correctly swing around broadside and land with the ramp facing you when you call it.

[jovial mason]

[vast cliff]

Wdym? It looks so agressiv think of how much firepower it has you stand infront of it all those mouned guns on the outer ring aiming at you stimontounesly ?

[fair pilot]

Do you need to have rotated hub underneath?

[jovial mason]

i found a way to hide shield modules the other day

[fair pilot]

I'm not using them at all 😐

So Lady Arien, iteration 3rd.

[near path]

Quite satisfied with mine now. On to the next one, had enough with the Atlas parts for a bit.

[jovial mason]

completely hides in this structure

[near path]

Yeah, having white as the secondary color might work. But it's a bit weird if you mix the standard parts

[fair pilot]

Outside of the frigate

[jovial mason]

i just wanna create my own USS enterprise

and have the cockpit the same

[near path]

There is a way to make bigger rooms so you can make a "Bridge", but unfortunately you wouldnt be able to use it as one

[weak rune]

You can stick them on the sides of habs, at least the aeron shields, and then cover them with a cowling

Or just cover the base.

[near path]

I quite like keeping them visible because they are animated. You could look at recessing them but keep them visible like i did

[hexed thicket]

The aeron thrusters make for good cowlings.

[near path]

I do wonder if they would bring out some Autophage corvette parts in future

[weak rune]

Smaller grid for snap points, on a ps5 and can't get glitching to work

[fair pilot]

Woah nice,

[weak rune]

Love the sideways exit, really wish I could get that to work

[hexed thicket]

...were you trying to recreate a Malok ship, or is it just a random crustacean?

[terse kestrel]

flying around spaceship that are mostly a collection of salvage pipes and wires held together by tape and quick welds would be amazing 😂

[fair pilot]

Loooool

I loved this game

[near path]

Right? 😄

[hexed thicket]

I'd love for NMS to allow for custom music accompaniment, just so I can have it play Flight Theme 12 and Longway Ballad in space. And the Human theme on stations. :P

[real dawn]

Is there a pattern to which teleporter button you will return to? I made a small squadron of tie fighters and i never return to my main cabin.

[hexed thicket]

You always return to the same one, whichever is placed last I believe.

Either last or first, can never remember. XD

[real dawn]

That makes sense, it must be the last one.

[fair pilot]

btw 2-block long amby ramp with a steeper curve would be a super useful

[weak rune]

How about a cockpit with a co-pilot seat for a teammate.

[real dawn]

That and a gunner chair would be great.

[fair pilot]

Long cockpit will be awesome to

[real dawn]

I have to put a couch in my lounge so the riders don't fling off of my ship.

[fair pilot]

^

this is the way

[sturdy basin]

Has anyone attempted to build NMS Reaper yet?

[fair pilot]

What?

[sturdy basin]

What?

[fair pilot]

Where are mooring points, HG?

I mean, what is NMS Reaper?

[hexed thicket]

A Reaper, in NMS.

[sturdy basin]

Oh, meant ME sry (Mass Effect).

The amount of glitching needed and the verticality is what's stopping me from attempting, also haven't seen any such build yet.

[real dawn]

Looks doable but I've never seen it in NMS.

[hexed thicket]

What I want is a decent design for either a Kuun-Lan or an Archangel-class Dreadnougt. Neither of which would be to scale, but the Acolyte would be a bit underwhelming.

[fair pilot]

Ah, REAPER

[sturdy basin]

The height limitation is kinda steep as well, dunno if it would be sufficient enough for decent looking Reaper, but I dont want to build it horizontally, is weird when flying

[glad snow]

how can i put aeron starship trail on corvette if it has no available space?

[jovial mason]

buy more space

[smoky flax]

A Reaper style corvette is never going to work because even if you somehow got the look perfect, The reapers were larger than skycrapers. A corvette is never going to get close to that...it would only look like a ridiculous miniature.

[glad snow]

@jovial mason how do i buy more space on a corvette?

[sturdy basin]

We work with what we have, that applies for all ships, be it SW Death Stars or anything really. If the scale is fine, size is secondary I'd say

[jovial mason]

at the regular place where you upgrade tier

[digital violet]

hello, does anyone have an idea how to make a tail behind your ship that look cool?

[fair pilot]

There are plenty of options

Or you mean the trail?

[digital violet]

tail

like, dragon tail

[smoky flax]

Yeah, no. Small replicas of things that are enormous don't work. Having a would be death star dock on the anomaly or land on a planet..yeah, that's just not going work right.

[digital violet]

here's what abomination i cook up

but it is missing a tail, i tried doing some weirdly stuff but it look silly

here is the first tail iteration

[real dawn]

You need to use decorations instead of ship parts.

[glad snow]

@jovial mason thank you got it

[digital violet]

so glitch decoration out?

[fair pilot]

No, you can just put decorations outside.

Like this,

[digital violet]

oh i see

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[real dawn]

Scale them up so they are big enough.

[digital violet]

though a tail, sadly is what i vision off

i have not unlock all decorations

[sturdy basin]

I've seen stuff like Death Star, Normandy, Enterprise that looked decent. Why not Reaper (besides obvious issue with height limitation)

[near path]

Closest thing youl get to a deathstar in NMS

[fair pilot]

Yeah, looks nice,

[smoky flax]

None of those work, except maybe the Normandy SR1 which is small-ish all things considered. But Normandy SR2 is larger than corvettes can be. Stuff like the Death Star, Enterprise, etc. are colossal...having look alikes docked on the anomaly is ridiculous because those things are vastly larger than the anomaly itself...it's be like stuffing a large frigde in your wallet...it wouldn't work.

There were images floating around, someone made a corvette that looked like an Executor-Class Star-Destroyer and it's like bro, that thing is supposed to be 19 kilometers long. A corvette looking like it just doesn't work.

[digital violet]

ok, i think i will settle with this wings design

[raven rover]

oooh that looks cool

[sturdy basin]

Idk, I guess for some people the fact that you can make some smaller replica of famous ships is more important that precise scale size

Guy how do unlock like diffrent corvett parts besides the starter ones

[raven rover]

You salvage em

[fair pilot]

Planets with salvageable scraps. Fly over them on basic corvette, leave the pilot sit, mark the scrap, shoot it with guns (cyclotron ballista is the best - large aoe). Leave again (do not land!), find next scrap, repeat.

[raven rover]

If you want the absolute max gain for your time

Find a moon instead

Denser spawn points

[raven rover]

nice side profile

[fair pilot]

Worked hard for it, thank you! 🙂

[raven rover]

🙏

[fair pilot]

I really like how cargo boxes sticking form the sides give some visual of tech modules or even connectors.

[raven rover]

Yeahhh i really liked that part

[real dawn]

I removed, then placed the one I wanted to use. Several times and ways, that never worked. Trying the other way around...

[hexed thicket]

Keep in mind changes aren't saved unless they're saved. You need to remove the one you want to use, save, start editing again, then place the one you want to use and save.

[raven rover]

which engine setup do yall like the most?

heres how the ship looks for reference

[fair pilot]

"Mine" is valid answer? 😄

[cedar sorrel]

My "Atlas Enforcer"

[fair pilot]

Second is kinda better ino

[raven rover]

or this?

[fair pilot]

Overloaded imo.

[raven rover]

hmmm yeah i kinda agree

[raven rover]

yeah

this was the original config

but when i flew it

it looked like a angry face 😭

[fair pilot]

I like this even more.

What about some large thruster with round nozzles?

Or even small thrusters with round nozzles, but singular

[raven rover]

i cannot unsee the angry eyes

😭

[fair pilot]

xD

[raven rover]

hmm that could work

Idk it looks too small

😭

[fair pilot]

Imo good enough. Like maneuvering thrusters.

[raven rover]

Ah ok

[fair pilot]

And centrail is the main engine

[raven rover]

Imma try combining it with the oval thruster

ya this looks ok

[real talon]

Won't look like a stoned robot flewn? 🙂

[raven rover]

At least it doesnt look angry

😭

[real dawn]

Yeah that's what i meant. Removed, saved, added, saved. Tested, teleported into the same place i was before... Trying again but removing the other ones, then I'll see what order i need to use.

[real dawn]

Okay, I removed them all. Then placed the one I wanted to use only. Saved tested, nothing else to teleport to so not an unexpected result. Now added the next one, tested teleported to the original one, so far so good. Two more to place, then we will know how it works for sure.

[dreamy compass]

any idea on how i could improve my corvette ?

ik it's bad that's why i'm here to ask some tips

[real dawn]

It's the first one for sure, may change is you remove that later then save it.

[real dawn]

Sweet

[solid sage]

Happy to this Sentinel Dreadnought Design its Deadly see this you know its over fav weapon class is infra knife 195k once power convert to weapons its 225k

The sheer size of width and long it is ya took my time to make it sleek just imagine if use new parts for Star Destroyer.?

[raven rover]

Looks good tbh

But im not sure abt this

Why leave that hollow

[dreamy compass]

i don't know actually i didn't even know it was here in the first place

thanks for pointing it out

ima fix it

[raven rover]

[abstract crow]

These new Atlas pieces make it so easy to go overboard with random parts.

[solid sage]

yup

[real talon]

My precious here. I'm pretty satisfied with the numbers finally. 🙂

[rustic pilot]

Anyone know how to upgrade the class? Is it just nanites

[real talon]

I think it is.

[fair pilot]

For Crovette just through nanites.

Is there some secret stat with the cockpit? If I have two medusa reactors surrounding the cockpit (in the tech slots), I get better maneuverability than if I have three medusa reactors in line even though the percentage numbers seem lower.

[night blaze]

if you're a little short on nanites and need help lmk!

[fair pilot]

Have to make good screenshots of my ship.

[night blaze]

check to see what tech is in your empowered slots

[fair pilot]

You can drop all coloured drives (cadmium/emeril/indium) when you have atlantid.

[real talon]

I upgraded it mainly from discoveries tho in a few days. O.o Fully map a planet's fauna gives decent amount 🙂

[night blaze]

your tech inventory has little purple squares, drop your tech with the HIGHEST manouverability on them

[random zinc]

the only difference is that i have medusa-cockpit-medusa vs medusa-medusa-medusa. Everything else is the same

it's an apples-to-apples comparison

[night blaze]

so go and edit your ship

depending on which order you place reactors in, it can change stats

not sure if that^ is a bug or not, but it's something I noticved placing shields especially

experiment with a different placement order, so maybe cockpit > medusa, or medusa > cockpit

[random zinc]

sure, the difference is between whether I put on that third medusa reactor before or after the cockpit. It doesn't make sense

[real talon]

When i ever realize how to go on with that questline 😄

[night blaze]

probably mix of a bug a fuinctional featuyre, causing it to be funny

also I would recommend buying S class pulse engine tech until you get sdome high manouverability stats

I believe they can put out sa lot more than reactors

@strange fiberany chance you can confirm this to be a known bug?

[raven rover]

if you can

[rustic pilot]

Yeah that and missions is my plan.

[raven rover]

x class is nice too

But

gambling

[night blaze]

I find that X class is rarely better, S more consistent

LOL

[rustic pilot]

Will do!

[raven rover]

Yes

Highest possible stat is still an x class tho

But yeah

The gambling

[night blaze]

Ive gotten maybe 2 or 3 premium X class tech in the last 100 hours lol

[raven rover]

[night blaze]

but i havent been focusing on them

no complaints

[raven rover]

I like gambling

[night blaze]

me too

[terse kestrel]

Hence why we spend million in credits rolling shit X mods in the hopes of finding that one that's better than any S class

[raven rover]

So i buy packs

[night blaze]

Ive started cremating my used tech storage chests

realizied how useless 99% of them are lol

[terse kestrel]

Yep

Like when you finally get your 3rd 10,000% x3 scanner X mod ......it's a good day.

[raven rover]

2% boost goes hard

[fair pilot]

Got my 3rd recently xD

[terse kestrel]

Congrats

I got one more X movement module to find. That's been a 2 week search

[strange fiber]

None of the dev team is in this discord.

[night blaze]

alr thanks

So is this an official or unofficial NMS discord?

just curious now, I thought it was THE discord

[raven rover]

Officially unofficial

[night blaze]

haha

[raven rover]

HG does link this discord in their website n blog

[night blaze]

that's huge

[raven rover]

bookmarked thank you :3

[hexed thicket]

...I made a gunpod.

[ionic ermine]

okay, so I'm tryna make the milano from guardians of the glaxay, I made the body n everything else. BUT I can't figure out the nose of the ship

anyone got ideas?

[night blaze]

have you experimented with glitch building?

[ionic ermine]

yes

[night blaze]

and you've tried splitting the connection down the middle to form a point with two aerofoils?

[ionic ermine]

uhhhh

how?

I mean, I figured out how to hide the reactor n etc

[night blaze]

one sec I'll send a screenshot

[ionic ermine]

but...what?

[hexed thicket]

Pleasantly surprised that the game correctly considers the Titan landing legs both a landing gear and a thruster.

[trail hornet]

peak

[night blaze]

Bare with me, compiling a few screenshots for you

[raven rover]

I got that as a reference

Looks close enough

[ionic ermine]

I made it like this

[trail hornet]

milano slice , looks amazing man

[ionic ermine]

thx

[raven rover]

https://youtu.be/I5y7hs8Eyg8?si=UbGJ3Ukig5vY5cMq

[raven rover]

this looks the closest tho

But that requires some angled windows glitching

[ionic ermine]

I uhhh

kinda followed that

[raven rover]

[ionic ermine]

but I wanted a different nose

[raven rover]

That i guess

[ionic ermine]

so it wasn't directly taken

I wanna make my own version

[raven rover]

That nose looks clean

[ionic ermine]

well I make the coloring different

the tail is blue

[raven rover]

Try angled parts then

Using windows to angle em

[ionic ermine]

the windows?

I can use the windows?

[fair pilot]

Choosing the color is cursed too....

[night blaze]

^Basically showing you how to glitch off center @ionic ermine

[ionic ermine]

okay, got it.

now, one other question

[night blaze]

Whats up

[ionic ermine]

how would I go about making the swordfish II

[raven rover]

@ionic ermine video for reference

[night blaze]

start familiarizing yourself with glitch building, you could definitely make a Swordfish II 1:1 if you have the willpower and creativity

I spent hours just messing around with glitch building and exploring the possibilities

just a part of ship building, gotta do your brainstorming and studying

[raven rover]

i cant live without glitches

[ionic ermine]

...

this is gonna take me a while isn't it?

[raven rover]

[night blaze]

beautiful

[ionic ermine]

okay

here

can't rly see it

but it's there

there

corvette build

[raven rover]

why is your screenshots so dark 😭

[ionic ermine]

idk how to turn up the brightness in photo mode

also, the ship is black

the entire ship, is black

well red now but in the pic it's black

[dreamy compass]

this is insane

insanity

[raven rover]

Thaankss

[dreamy compass]

how long did it take?!

[raven rover]

Uh i think its a bug

[raven rover]

Only about 3 hrs

[ionic ermine]

wdym?

[raven rover]

The refining process tho

[dreamy compass]

"only 3h"

[raven rover]

3 days ish?

[raven rover]

😭

[dreamy compass]

yeah that's a lot

[raven rover]

You got DLAA on?

[ionic ermine]

uhhh

have to check

[dreamy compass]

make it downloadable but for money

[raven rover]

this was the process

[balmy cedar]

I just saw a Milano build

Nowhere as janky as mine

[ionic ermine]

I have DLSS on

[raven rover]

hmm shouldnt be a problem

[ionic ermine]

it's cool, but janky

[raven rover]

i saw somewhere that dark photomode is because of a bug

[real talon]

Try a gas giant for a screen... 😄

[abstract crow]

Turn the sun on. That'll brighten your picture

[balmy cedar]

I should lmao

[balmy cedar]

Here comes the sun

Doo doo doo

[ionic ermine]

Here come the sun

and I say

It's alright

Doo doo doo dooo dooooooo

[balmy cedar]

Talking to dude makes me realize... I need a cooler space pirate ship

[ionic ermine]

I have the milano as my priate ship

[balmy cedar]

Very nice

I alternate from a handful

UNSC pelican is my main tho

[ionic ermine]

Nice name

my fighter is named The SC Vespira

[flat current]

Turn off the damn motion blur

[balmy cedar]

The Pelican is just what it looks like

[raven rover]

fellow motion blur hater

[balmy cedar]

I like the retracting landing gear

Motion blur sucks

[flat current]

I do hate it

[raven rover]

🍻

[flat current]

I feel nausea whenever its on

Anyways

[ionic ermine]

finally, I can hit 40 FPS without it going lower

[flat current]

Hows ur ship making going zy

[raven rover]

Im bored tbh

Today i just made some abomination and i hate it

Might just take a break

[flat current]

Lol what did u make

[fair pilot]

I'll stick with this now.
So "Lady Arien", 3rd refit. Class "Lady Cass III", long-range multi-mission destroyer/corvette.
Decided that not hiding the landing gear is less sacrifice than huge belly.
Propulsion - Kineostream III engine (aka 3 engines stacked in a row).
Energy plant - x3 mk3 Medusa, Zenith and Azimuth class reactors (aka 3 of each stacked).
Weapon systems - 4x phase beam cannons.

[raven rover]

looks fine from the top

side view is fuckin horrendous

[flat current]

Fair point

It do be looking weird from sides

[night blaze]

this is my pride n joy

anyone wanna guess where I hid the cockpit?

[flat current]

Looks nice

[raven rover]

Siiick

[raven rover]

there?

Under the cowling

[flat current]

In the mid yea

[night blaze]

nope

[flat current]

Nani

[raven rover]

Oh wait

Thats the vent thingy

[flat current]

Ye no clue where the cockpit is

[night blaze]

dont think I could have done a better job at hiding and concealing it

shoutout scaffolding

[raven rover]

oh internal cockpit

I thought its still visible on the outside

[night blaze]

yeah I WISH I could have had a visible 1st person view, but it'd ruing the exterior of the ship

[trail hornet]

holy hell she's beautiful

[flat current]

The purple was a nice choice

[trail hornet]

i love the purple so much dude

[fair pilot]

Still struggling with color tho. Obv less sleek than previous models, but more balanced shape-wise instead.

[trail hornet]

i made my sf-zephyr purple and it's the best decision i've made in this game

[night blaze]

I'm hopinh they add some new cockpits in the future, maybe something like the star destroyer tower control cewnters/etc.

[fair pilot]

More space inside, less parts.

[night blaze]

some new styles opf cockpits to say the least

[raven rover]

wide cockpit ples

[night blaze]

yes

[fair pilot]

Long cockpit please

[trail hornet]

i want corvette ladders and a cockpit that fuses the titan and the thunderbird i think the names are

[raven rover]

||its in the files||

[trail hornet]

NO WAY

[night blaze]

I also wish you could make ceilings higher, so maybe remove the ceiling from hulls

[trail hornet]

and remove interior walls

make wide habs

habs the l o o n g way

[fair pilot]

I want amby cockpit that doesn't looks like limp

[trail hornet]

i just want more cockpits

and more habs

sentinel cockpit + hab

[fair pilot]

And more ramps

[real talon]

With interior color changability

[terse kestrel]

They won't change the ambassador cockpit because it's the preferred cockpit for VR players

It goes hard in VR

[fair pilot]

And some wide flat module to COVER FKN HUBS WITHOUT MESSING WITH SHAPE

Sorry

[fair pilot]

Alternative option then, please.

[terse kestrel]

It's like everything about the ambassador interiors is designed to be a bit more spacious and easier to manipulate in VR.

Titan Habs and wall units are too tight for VR for sure

[trail hornet]

i want panels

long thin-ish panels to cover habs

[fair pilot]

Glass floor and roof also, please.

[trail hornet]

YES

i want a corvette parts overhaul update (ik we just got vettes and more parts but PLEASE give us this stuff)

[fair pilot]

make current windows less awful also...

[trail hornet]

yesss

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

[hallow karma]

GUYS.

Can I upgrade the rank of a Corvette ship?

Or do I have to build another one?

[normal sparrow]

Yes, there is a terminal on the space station in each system, it lets you upgrade the rank of your ship (including corvettes) for a bunch of nanites.

[hallow karma]

Ah 'kay.

Cause when I went to one of these it just didn't show anything when I wanted to scrap a Corvette.

So I was like "guess nothing works on em".

[terse kestrel]

Can't scrap corvettes. To get rid of them you got to strip them down of non essentials, trade it to an NCP for theirs and then scrap that for units

[granite meadow]

First project with the Atlas parts, opens quite some new cool options

[hexed thicket]

Or if you plan on building a new corvette and don't care much for the money, just skip the selling step and go straight to making a new corvette. When you finalize the new corvette it'll give you the option of swapping your old corvette for the new one.

[steep thunder]

Hey space explorers, Q about tech modules. In my current Corvette build I have Azimuth-Class reactor installed, this one among other features, has Auto Recharging functionality enabled. So then I really don't need to install the dedicated Launch Auto Charger module, that does the same thing, thus freeing one tech slot. Is my reasoning correct?

[ionic ermine]

Zy

attatch a window and then how would I make the nose?

[night blaze]

oh no.....

i dont wanna be here when this thing takes off

[hallow karma]

That's too much thrusting.

[ionic ermine]

@raven rover

[terse kestrel]

[stray galleon]

what preventing me from doing this?!

[abstract crow]

Never too much thrusting.

[fair pilot]

Too far front, I believe.

[stray galleon]

anyway to push my entire ship back?

[fair pilot]

Piece by piece...

[stray galleon]

pain

[fair pilot]

Done that with my like 2 or 3 times.

[abstract crow]

You could probably glitch it if you can find a nearby spot that it can be placed and quickly switch from the eligible location to that one and hit build a split-second after you move the piece.

[hexed thicket]

This is my new favorite legal microship design. It just looks like an angry techno-beetle. :D

Especially landed.

[chilly mirage]

what should i do if im stuck inside a corvete part?

[hexed thicket]

Summon a different ship.

[chilly mirage]

i cant

what do i do

[hexed thicket]

Where are you that you can't?

[abstract crow]

Reload your last save

[chilly mirage]

i did

still stuck

and the older save is like 4h ago

[abstract crow]

What about the other save?

[chilly mirage]

i built an entire base and would like not to waste it

[abstract crow]

Well, if you can't edit the ship to fix the part, you may be SoL.

Unless you can use a save editor.

[chilly mirage]

cant take parts of a corvete out when not in a station

[night blaze]

so cute

[hexed thicket]

Some actual details of your circumstances could be helpful.

[fair pilot]

I'm perfectly fitting the 3 standard pads in a row, ALLOW ME TO LAND THERE

[chilly mirage]

tried to use a portal to one of my bases, when i loaded in i was inside a part of a corvete and i cant move out of it

maybe if i join a friend ill be unstuck

[abstract crow]

Yeah, you're kinda screwed then. If you can't reach that portal or anything else to force your body out of that spot, you're only other option would be editing your save to put you somewhere else.

[chilly mirage]

well damm, ill have to rebuild the damm base

[abstract crow]

I'm not sure if it'll spawn you exactly where you currently are if you try to join a friend. Worth a shot, I guess.

Unless that saves over your only safety save.

[chilly mirage]

restore point does not seem to save my base

and auto save is stuck in the area

[hexed thicket]

Are you physically in an unreachable space? Try going into build mode, switching to editing your base, and turning on the build camera. If you can navigate it to near your location, you can attempt to build a teleport terminus and use it to 'port out to a station.

[fair pilot]

Build the couch using free placement, facing outside, sit on it, stand

[hexed thicket]

Or that if there's a space you can place one. ^

[chilly mirage]

i cant

[fair pilot]

And do not TP to the bases with corvette active...

[chilly mirage]

its using the build mode of the corvete

and not the base

so i cant

[fair pilot]

You can place couches on the corvette.

Using corvette build modules.

[chilly mirage]

i also dont have a couch blueprint so i cant

[fair pilot]

If you have couch researched for the base.

[hexed thicket]

Press Y, right click to go back to build menu, it'll be in base mode.

[chilly mirage]

well, nvm i loaded the restore point and it autosaved overriding my save

so ill just have to do evertything egain

[fair pilot]

Hard lesson - do not tp to the base with corvette, until mooring point is implemented by HG...

[stray galleon]

progress on shark 2.0

[terse kestrel]

[limpid quiver]

can't wait to see what ppl come up with the new corvette parts

from the expedition

[gentle spoke]

Lol tried to build the R9A Arrowhead, I think to pull it off it will have to be a larger build

[heavy sage]

Best workaround is have a regular legacy ship to teleport with and then swap to the corvette after.
Wonder how long before something gets added...

[limpid quiver]

just use a barebones ship for base tp and core jumps

[fair pilot]

You have to move both TP and computer away from the main base for that, as appeared.

[marsh grail]

Hi guys has the glitch where you create a new corvette to remove modules from your original one been fixed? Or am i messing something up?

[abstract crow]

I believe it was patched

[ionic ermine]

this is the best I'ma get it so I don't get a mental breakdown

still pretty good

[glass surge]

It depends on the modules as you can't still remove the photon cannon and anything that makes up the actual ship can't be remove outside of the builder

[marsh grail]

Aah i see thanks

[cobalt harbor]

the messenger and the receiver

[random zinc]

What are you aiming for?

[ionic ermine]

The Milano

the nose

of the milano

but I didn't wanna spend too much time on it

[random zinc]

I don't know the reference, but that's on me 🙂

[glass surge]

The Milano is a cookie or biscuit from famed cookie maker Pepperidge farms; it's also the name of a space ship from the film Guardians of the Galaxy

[ionic ermine]

I was aiming for the spaceship one

[random zinc]

A cookie-shaped corvette might be interesting

[glass surge]

we should just have a mod that makes the corvette pieces in to cookie textures so we can have both

[balmy cedar]

Not bad

More handsome than mine

[feral swan]

are the atlas parts on switch 2 yet?

[glass surge]

if you're able to do the breach expedition on switch 2 then yes; Switch 2 us currently on version 6.10.0 154242 (4196) so it should work but i would see if any fellow switch 2 users can chime in

[abstract crow]

An asteroid destroyer

[random zinc]

How come the First Aid and Hazard Protection Units I put in my corvette show up as Abandoned Objects in my visor?

[night blaze]

Lmao

[pure spire]

Well, time for me to to make a Falcon XIV soon

[onyx olive]

I know the short range teleporters don't work atm, but have they ever said if they planned to make them work or not by chance?

[fair pilot]

So I move the teleport outside of the main base body and teleported there with the corvette. I guess, workaround successfull.

[plain totem]

I wish it was possible to build cool ships like these without all the glitch building!

[pure spire]

Also, here's some eye candy. A REALLY cool corvette built by play Tormon Black:

[balmy cedar]

You can make cool ships without glitches

Take this 100% glitchless vanilla build

[fossil prairie]

agree, you can make something cool with what the game allows you to use, I think glitch building is more for getting specific looks or when you try to copy a starship from other game/movie

[terse kestrel]

The fact that they are playable shows that they want them to be on corvettes. I just don't think they can get them to work without causing problems.

The fact you can get pulled out of your Corvette during pulse drive while using the stairs suggests the teleporter would likely throw you the same.

When you're pulsing in a Corvette while wearing a cape you can see it wildly kicking around. As if it's trying to yank you out just standing there 😂

[fair pilot]

When "vanilla" ends eng glitch starts?
Offsetting is glitch? Rotating hubs is glitch?

[pure spire]

I think most of us just want the Z axis in building as a vanilla option.

[fair pilot]

The fact that these options are possible, rather says that they were planned to be added.

But either were cut to make the add-on faster, or were cancelled due to some other reason.

Or planned to be implemented in the future.

[balmy cedar]

Basically the things you can do requiring additional steps rather than just "Place and colour," is a glitch yes

[glass surge]

I still have screen shots of when 3 modules where missing and two of those have been filled in with the latest Expedition; The cargo box has not so my theory is there might be a third Corvette expedition maybe but that's entirely a guess at this point

[pure spire]

One can only hope. I was hoping the present update (Breach) would have added those. I'm content though as the Atlas 'vette parts are NICE

[balmy cedar]

I'd kill for a Z axis to build and rotate upon

[pure spire]

I could make a Nemesis-class battleship with that!

The one from Star Trek mind

Oh wait... that was the Scimitar. My bad. Still.

[glass surge]

Too bad there is no race specific parts corvette parts; we have Atlas/Sentinels but what about Korvax, Vy'keen, and or Gek corvette pieces.

So many possibilities

[pure spire]

Living corvettes when?

[terse kestrel]

The idea of stitching a bunch of living pieces of an organism together is kind of off-putting.

"the cockpit screams when you attach it to the neck" 😭

[balmy cedar]

They wouldn't have normal anatomy

[terse kestrel]

A proper fishing boat should be on everyone's Corvette bucket list

[balmy cedar]

Knowing HG we'd have to grow each piece

[terse kestrel]

😂

[balmy cedar]

Fishing boat?

[terse kestrel]

You're not wrong

[balmy cedar]

Im sorry but the only fishing I can do with this one is for ships

Maybe if I made a lobster

[wide bay]

very nice design

[rustic pilot]

Really hoping they fix the problem with teleporting to bases with corvettes active.

Sooner than later

[agile hamlet]

I copied over my favorite corvette to and from the expedition - now I have an extra one to play around with with the new parts 😃

[glass surge]

I would do that but once i finish the expedition on my survival save i plan to go back to rolling for a 4 sc slot corvette and see if i can figure out anything that would help or if it's truly rng

[modest orbit]

some really cool new pieces to build with. Can't wait till I find all of them. Not sure if they are all randomly available from the space debris ship or if some are only from planet salvage sites. I have been doing a lot of both.

[agile hamlet]

Cool shape. 😎

[modest orbit]

some of the pieces don't go together like i want them. I don't know how to do all the cools stuff like changing angles of stuff

[agile hamlet]

Yeah, that's why I want HG to revamp the building UI so that glitches are vanilla options.

[glass surge]

The Aeron / Atlas parts are only craftable just like the deadeye cannon; once you have the blueprints from the expedition and have claimed them at the Quicksilver stand at the anomaly, you just have to use sentinel materials + silver to craft them.

[balmy cedar]

Hmmm

I'd kill to make a lovely fishing ship

Something junky and not just a troop transit like my current Fav ship

[pseudo charm]

No use whatsoever but is nice to have I suppose.. a side cargo docking ring.

[shut tusk]

no more truck nuts and now has dual weapons. got the front cleaner, somehow have a reactor, thrusters, and 2 infra knives cleanly merged together

kinda just kept placing merged habs and messing with their snap points until everything fit. surprisingly tricky

[edgy geyser]

Jabba's sail barge

[glass surge]

I wish i could build Archimedes from Watchmen in NMS as a micro corvette but it would have to be in blender and heavily modded since it's such a unique ship.

[static latch]

Team, how do i get unstuck from this situation

Corvette and base

[glass surge]

Build a classic chair if possible, sit in it, and then exit the chair; if that doesn't work reload

[static latch]

i tried reloading, i can't even change ships and place off into the distance... the ships box is covering the whole deal lol

ill try the seat thing

Well somehow I spawned back inside my corvette but the blasted thing was stuck in the base... Hahhaa thank you

[supple portal]

U have any "orbital uplink"? It teleports u straight to the spacestation. Thats how i deal with this anoying bug..

Its handy for situations like this..

[swift mist]

can't you switch ships as well?

[glass surge]

never tried switching ships but then again i just use standard corvette parts with glitch building techniques and not base parts on top of all that; might be worth trying for someone that does

[fair pilot]

Wasn't it expedition-only shit?

[stray galleon]

and Here we go! Stormshark 2.0 is done! the expedition 20 parts was perfect for the head cause it look like an eye

[glass surge]

yes but you can craft a lot of orbital links or have a few and use a duplication exploit / bug whatever you want to call it and just keep duplicating more

[elder anchor]

looks sick!

[balmy cedar]

Very nice

Here's my UNSC pelican

It's my workhorse ship

I love it. Idk why

[supple portal]

Well yea but if u have a saveeditor u can build it. Or if u get 1 gifted u can dupe it. Like i said its very handy when u get stuck in ur freightet or corvette.. even if u get stuck in a griefer base. Some ppl gift them away in the anomaly

Btw heres my newest podracer build..

Rag's Obsidian Stalker K4

[balmy cedar]

Very nice

[balmy cedar]

Why podracers if you don't mind me asking

[supple portal]

Everyone builds spaceahips..

[balmy cedar]

That's valid

[supple portal]

I build Podracers

[balmy cedar]

I built a dropship tbh

Might make an LAAT gunship tho

[balmy cedar]

Podracers are dope

I hope to see things like airspeeders some day

Sucks to be Daxx tho

The guy luke was with on Hoth in empire

[agile hamlet]

Any sleighs yet?

I already have a what i consider a light dropship if i can just get a proper SC slot roll for my heavy dropship then i could build it for my survival save as i have the design pretty much done

[stray galleon]

Where the warthog scorpion tank drop

[balmy cedar]

In the rear ofc

[exotic adder]

Question, I am trying to edit my corvette, but each time I "delete" an item off my ship, it disappears.... does not go into my inventory, freighter, ship or workshop cache. Is this a bug or a "feature"?

[wooden walrus]

Amazing

[swift mist]

are you on creative mode or have free crafting enabled in the difficulty settings?

[exotic adder]

now that you say that, I might of edited something, I will have to go back and just reset it back to Relaxed and see what happens. thank you!

[gray pumice]

Does anyone have a star destroyer corvette

[glass surge]

People have posted in here or in #nms-showcase-corvettes

[abstract crow]

Probably one of the more common ship types people make.

[green elm]

anyone got any good corvette designs that use the new atlas pieces and that have a tutorial?

[glass surge]

I mean I've only really made one copy of a ship that's in published media and it was fun and a challenge since i had to go off someone elses build but i rather make my own designs ; i just wish we had less restrictions

[glass surge]

not my video but i'm sure there is more than this on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VKYm-FV5jA

[green elm]

thanks!

[acoustic bay]

I freaking love the Ambassador Boosters

[glass surge]

no you're looking #nms-showcase-corvettes

[green elm]

pfffffft

[acoustic bay]

bruh
Seriously though, thank you, I couldn’t find this channel until someone shared its link in the art channel hahah
I’ll delete and move it!

[green elm]

looks great

like a foot

[shut tusk]

was tweaking this build and when i opened up the inv my tech was all over the place, i got half way through organizing it and stopped for some reason lol probably didnt change anything after rebuilding. man it feels so much better now

[agile hamlet]

Do you put a hab there, then remove it after placing the fins?

[glass surge]

i would think so since you have to do the hab rotation glitch technique to rotate the Arcadia wings

[strong fjord]

I was trying to edit a corvette I made yesterday but it’s giving me the module connection error message but there shouldn’t be anything wrong, is this a glitch or will I have to look for the piece

[swift mist]

could be a piece of interior decoration that's causing that

Ok got it, thanks

[zenith hill]

does anyone know how i can get some corvette parts quickly?

[limpid quiver]

salvaged scrap on planets that say they have it

or buy parts from the workshop terminal

[raven rover]

Hot damn this loooks soooo gooood

[shut tusk]

yeah 2 merged walkways so you can flip the wings on the same snap point to make the hammerhead

[native flume]

This is my first ever message here, but I wanted to show off my corvette. I'm personally pretty proud with how it has come out

[ripe axle]

Still trying to crank the maneuverability up as much as I can. Current task is playing the X tech lottery for a game changer. Baby turns on a dime still. I’d like to see if I could hit / break 5k.

I think the X modules are the only way I’m going to get there.

I did find a great X Hyperdrive modules tonight that was 316ly / 100%

[glass surge]

from what i know the Medusa Reactors work with the corvette cockpit to boost maneuverability someone pointed out that it's bugged to only two besides more pulse engines mods. If you have all 60 tech slots unlocked you could boost it more i bet

[golden lake]

Anyone got a way to make a corvette landing pad I got a orbital base and it’s getting annoying lol

[glass surge]

nope but if you have a teleporter on your base move it away from the main area as it spawns at that for now and moving it helps from what some people on here report

[balmy cedar]

Nice airship homie

[ripe axle]

Got the Medusa / cockpit thing already lol.

[strong fjord]

Thx

[ripe axle]

I know there’s a mod for it ( or so I’ve heard )

[mint marsh]

Can you give people Corvettes

[glass surge]

The only way i think you could give someone a corvette is giving them the pieces and they put it in their corvette cache at a station to build; just like LEGO sets

[balmy cedar]

Here's mine

[strong fjord]

Oh nice

Full pic of mine

[balmy cedar]

Very nice

[mint marsh]

Can I get more pictures of this? This is beautiful

[inland karma]

anyone know what i should build inside of this, the entire interior is empty and im circled in blue for reference on how big it is

[golden lake]

Anyone want a ride in my passenger class corvette

[inland karma]

how do you get rid of the walls?

[golden lake]

U can’t it’s not actually the interior it’s sitting on top of habs and then covered in by more habs u can make doors on the floor in out by using titan class landing bay specifically and go up into it from the bottom using a stair case

[inland karma]

wait brb i need to try this.

[raven rover]

Or with the nomansapp

[golden lake]

How’s it going lol

[inland karma]

idk how to get to the second floor now, it was originaly 4 stories and idk how to get to the second story because theres no door 👁️ 👄 👁️

I DID IT

[inland karma]

I like this thank you for the idea broski

[golden lake]

No problem and yeah for me I had to make a door out onto the same floor using a titan class landing bay then use stairs up it’s a little tedious but it can work

[balmy cedar]

I added a few things after doing a community mission or two

[analog lintel]

can someone quickly explain how people create these crazy corvette ships

[analog lintel]

Bro how

[inland karma]

kinda jank but it looks nice lowk

now for detailing

[golden lake]

That’s nice man

[analog lintel]

but how the fuck is this even possible

Like look at my ship bro

[inland karma]

very good id say

[inland karma]

use your imagination man, just remember theres a 100 part limit

[analog lintel]

wdym use my imagination

all these ships are impossible to build with the rotations of the components

how do they do it

[inland karma]

dunno, i did it but idk how

igtg though hope you find out how

[swift mist]

if you learn how to offset parts, it opens up what you can do with them

[glass surge]

You build a basic ship then you build a better ship and change something different and succeed or fail; you try again and keep trying and failing until you're happy with it

[finite lynx]

I noticed that corvette interior tech modules change appearance based on which HAB they're installed on, which is super awesome.

[glass surge]

also tons of videos on corvette builds or techniques

[glass surge]

there is a bug for ambassador habs where if you build storage while auto pilot is on it's turn into the titan storage modules

[finite lynx]

hah, that's funny

[hexed thicket]

The corvette building system in this game is, thankfully, a broken mess. The corvettes are technically flying bases, with some restrictions applied.
This has led to the emergence of a number of building techniques, leveraging various glitches in the system to achieve things otherwise impossible. There is also the decoration system, which allows placing various items around the corvette freely, and is used extensively by some of the bigger and flashier builds.

[analog lintel]

is it possible to learn this power

[flat current]

Yes

[hexed thicket]

The simplest technique is the offset build, which is one of two ways to shift the placement grid in half-grid increments.

One involves a structural block (like a girder) and a decorative item (like an intake vent). Attaching the decorative to the front, back, left, or right of the block, then allows another block to be placed on the top or bottom of the decorative. This results in a simultaneous offset by a half-grid up or down, and to one of the four sides. This is called a diagonal offset.

The second involves any hab block, and the Rockhopper Propeller. The Rockhopper, when rotated to its right side, has a bug that makes it placeable in half-grid increments. You can attach the Rockhopper at a half-grid offset forward or back, then reattach the hab block to the propeller. This is called the linear offset.

Combined together, these two methods allow building at half-grid resolution. Parts on the regular grid and the half-grid don't obstruct each other's placement, allowing neat overlapping of parts and builds that look otherwise impossible.

[swift mist]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OviTjOwAfp8

try it in creative mode and you'll get it

there's a bunch of videos for other tricks in the pinned messages of this channel

[analog lintel]

thats great thank you

[analog lintel]

thank you sm

[cunning tiger]

I hope we get atlas themed habs/cockpits/landing bays in the future

[flat current]

Thats a dope corv

[shrewd saddle]

My daily driver, the Valenthyne

[hexed thicket]

There's also a somewhat dangerous thing called forced placement, which is sometimes important when using offset building. Basically sometimes the grids really don't like intersecting, and certain parts that ought to fit together, don't want to snap into place. The snap points exist, there's space, but the part refuses to fit into a particular place at a particular orientation, just briefly sticks in place and immediately moves away.

You can force the part to stick, if you precisely time a left-click immediately after rotating or flipping the part into position. This only works if the part at least attempts to snap into position, and is prevented from doing so by overlap shenanigans.

The danger comes from it being possible to misclick items out of bounds, getting them lodged in weird places like under the floor, which may require you to redo the whole build since the last time you saved it.

[shut tusk]

i was gonna make a micro vette my daily driver but I keep going back to this one, I just like it so much

[balmy cedar]

It's like lego

[flat current]

Im reminded of a really really old racing game...very cool

[finite lynx]

I literally saw a floating rectangle with open walls that was built like a resort once. It literally just looks like a flying building

It's a bit.. immersion breaking, but at least those people are having fun, I guess.

[heavy sage]

When you make a corvette for the sole purpose of collecting and refining stuff...
First couple are the original configuration, last one is what it got changed over to, couple extra habs on the sides. Only have about 11 refiners shoved in it.

[latent zodiac]

is there a way to make parts symmetrical along a centerline?

like how can i make these two parts centered on the nose?

because it will not place here

[balmy cedar]

You'll need to perform a manuever to get the parts to line up but yes

First. Remove the vesper thing you put there

Then place a hab

And a ducting outlet on the side, or top. Top I think

Remove just the hab

[latent zodiac]

ok, thanks.

[balmy cedar]

Then grab a block and place it off a little to the side

Then if that works all you'll need to do is mirror it and remove the handful of excess parts

[latent zodiac]

is there any way to rotate other parts 90 degrees?

E only flips it laterally, i just want to rotate it 90 degrees...

[balmy cedar]

No idea

[swift mist]

one of the pinned messages has a video for 90 degree rotations

[glass arch]

I finally got to replacing a bunch of the parts on my ship with the new expedition ones! What yall think?

[solemn cypress]

do you think we are going to get hanger modules to store exocrafts

[limpid quiver]

i doubt it
unless it's like 5 long or more

[hazy salmon]

Has anyone tested this? When building blocks in front of the cockpit, do they simply disappear when flying in first person or are they still visible?

I also have a suspicion that the size of the ship is also not taken into account when flying in first person

[hallow karma]

Normally I think you do see what's in front of the cockpit.

I used to have turrets right in front of it and I saw them when flying.

[glass surge]

I see just fine

[gentle turtle]

-have an empty hab

-Free-place a bed module thing along the front of the hab wall, not along the presnap positions. As straight/flat and as close to the wall as possible without it rising up slightly on the edge

-juno into corvette edit mode and then snap a hab to the bed module thing, you'll know you've done it right when you see it rotate before snapping

Will take some fiddling with to get it perfectly symmetrical and level with everything, but well worth it.

Same way you do weird angled bit

---

I use the bed thing because it's easier than using stairs IMO, since it starts out facing the way you need it, whichever way you're looking

[hallow karma]

Man the amount of glitches you gotta use-

[slender vessel]

Is there a way to make vertical curves?
Like in this corvette how can i make the 6 smoother / more round

[hallow karma]

...

[slender vessel]

I got plans

[hallow karma]

This makes me want to die.

[whole cedar]

what is this bro…

[slender vessel]

Art

[whole cedar]

67!!!!

[slender vessel]

But fr is there a guide for vertical circles?
Cuz the pin guides are only for horizontal circles

I got plans

[limpid quiver]

can't you just try rotating the circle by 90 degrees

[hoary agate]

Did u checked pins?

[viral crane]

So currently, my ship looks like this. I've named it the R.S. "Behemoth" Mk. 01

HOWEVER, The nickname given to it was inspired off the BF1 behemoths like the armored train or dreanoughts. So I'm thinking of making my ship look a bit more like a sort of battleship rather than the round look it's got rn lol

I dunno. Thoughts?

[slender vessel]

Ye
There is a guide for making a circle using habs
But thats horizontal right

[glass surge]

Your ship; do what you want

[viral crane]

Fair

[limpid quiver]

and there is no right or wrong answer

[latent zodiac]

ye i got it

❤️

and now, behold almost four hours of my life to recreate this
